  Speaker 1: This is Jamal Murray. It's time for a double dip.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Jamal Murray has it. He goes to the right hand.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Step back three.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 0:08
  Speaker 4: Big one there.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Cam gets in the paint. Behind him, Murray.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Head fake. Side step three. Got it again! Right at
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the hoard! Wow!
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Jamal Murray's the Iceman! Well, it was a good first half.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Not so good a second half. Portland finally heated up
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: from downtown, and that was the difference in the game.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: The three-point ball. Final tonight from Denver. Portland 118, Denver 110.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Hi, this is Brett Kulak.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You smell that?
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: It's a double dip.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: The car tries to throw the needle. Tipped. They score!
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Hughes and Kadri are right there. For the second time tonight,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the Kadri man can. Sendy taves the intercept. Can he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: hit the open net?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You betcha!
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The Avalanche are monsters in the midway. Down 2-0, did
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not quit. And they win this one 5-2. You smell that?
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: It's a double dip.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Take your sniffers out. You smell that?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It's a double dip.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Kulak. A weird sort of... double dip in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the sense that the Nuggets had a great start and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a bad finish, and the Avs had a terrible start
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and a great finish. We'll start with the Avs. The
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: way they went about their business last night, you know, again,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you start off the game and you get this unlucky
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: bounce that goes in to put you down 1-0. Okay,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: no big deal. It's a bummer, but Weird things happen.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Next thing you know, you're down 2-0. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: then it gets really scary. Because you're... The Avs have been...
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: A team that just on the road this season have really,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: really seemed to struggle. You know, they were 3-3 heading... Or,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, 2-4... heading into that game last night on
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the road and you just felt like, is this going
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to be another one of those just inexplicable road games
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: where nothing goes right and it looks like you can't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: get out of your own way and all these different things. Then,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it was very similar to things that have happened really
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. It just felt like
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it was one of those nights where if they got
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: one the floodgates were open and you were going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: get a bunch more. Kadri scores on a huge effort play,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: diving over the top, making sure one goes in. You
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got Jaden Schwartz who puts one in. The big thing, though,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you were on the power play multiple times last night,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't find a way to get one. You finally do
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: with Kadri again, who scores his second goal of the game.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And that finally gives you a lead three to two,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a little over midway through the second period. But the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: big one here is getting that final goal with 10
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: seconds left in the second to put you up 4-2
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and put you in prime position going into the third.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was another really good night from Mackenzie Blackwood.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: If there are positives to be taken away from both
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Avs and Nuggets earlier this year, it's individual performances.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And I think that Mackenzie Blackwood, after having that rough
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: opening to the season... You know, you beat L.A. in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: opening night, but you give up four in doing so.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He has a good game against St. Louis after that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Then he gives up three on 19 shots to Winnipeg
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and then five on 22 to Toronto. And we all
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: start having some PTSD about goaltending and where they're at.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But since then, I think he's been lights out. He's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: given up two in the last three games. If you're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: giving up two goals as the guy between the pipes
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for the Avs, you're going to put them in really
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: good position to win because the Avs are going to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: score a lot. So on the year, he's still at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: 899 in the save percentage category. But if you take
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: his last handful of games, I mean, eliminating that weird
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sort of clunky start to the season ever since October 13th,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: his save percentage has been around 920. And that's what
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you want to see. So Blackwood, I think, is a
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: major positive takeaway as we open up the year. Seen
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Jaden Swartz get on the goal sheet twice. Yesterday, I think,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is big. Kadri is another one where if you're talking
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: about third line doing the damage like that, you're in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: pretty good shape. Again, after a rough start, it felt
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like the Avs started picking things up again. Still disappointing
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: power play, but they do feel very much like a team.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Once they got it in gear, they're a really tough
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: train to stop. It's just a matter of how quickly
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: can you get to it? Is it going to take
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a full period? Is it going to take 10 minutes?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: That's been the frustrating part. It just feels like they've
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: been killed by slow starts this season. Some games, like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: last night, you're able to overcome it. You know, Chicago's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: still not a great hockey team. They got some talented
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: players on there, but still trying to find their footing
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: as a franchise and where they're at right now organizationally.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You can make comebacks when you go down 2-0 pretty
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: quick against a team like Chicago. Can you do that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: against teams like Vegas? Can you do that against some
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of the top competition teams not only in the conference,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but in your own division. And you do that against Minnesota.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Can you do that against Edmonton? Can you do that against,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, Dallas? Like these are, that's the measuring stick
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that you got to put this against. So the Avs
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: find a way, they power through a rough start to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: get a comfortable win at the very end. It was
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: another night in which goalie interference was the subject of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the game. And I swear to God, I don't remember
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the last time the Avs were on the right side
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of a goalie interference call. And I'm not even saying
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: right in the sense that it was the right call
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or not. I'm just saying where they've benefited from something
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: going to review of goalie interference. And the boys back
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: at the Altitude Studios, Riker and Kiefer, I'm sorry, Johnny
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and Kiefer, they pointed out the play that they got
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: called back on goalie interference looked exactly like a play
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that went against the Avs earlier in the season against Philly.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You get pushed barely into the blue paint. You make
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a little contact with the goalie, but was the contact
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: there because you were pushed into him by a member
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of the opposite team? And if it is, then how
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: is that your fault? In one game, that was ruled
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: against the Avs on the opposite way. And now it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: ruled against them again. So I just, I don't understand it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I really don't get it. All I know is that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the Avs haven't gotten a goalie interference call in forever.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: And that part's really frustrating. But again, able to overcome,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: make the requisite plays you need to beat a bad team,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and kind of get off the schneid for some of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: these road games that they've had in starting this season
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: where it feels like it's been pulling teeth a little bit.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So now they have, again, a back-to-back in Columbus tonight.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: before they come back home, Nashville in Detroit Thursday and Saturday. But,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as far as road games, you were riding a three-game
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: losing streak on the road. With all of them not
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: looking super pretty. The last one being the game in Nashville. So,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: good to see them get off the schneid and get
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a road win. Hopefully, they're in store for one tonight
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: as that game's going to be at 5 o'clock. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on the opposite side, again, it was a tale of.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Opposite starts and finishes, the Nuggets had an unbelievable start
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to the game. They go up 31-19. Looks like everything's clicking.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Jamal Murray came out on fire. Played good defense, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: then the second quarter happened where Portland couldn't miss a shot.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You couldn't get a stop. Denny Avdia... started knocking some
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: things down, and then it just became really, really difficult
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of getting a stop on Portland and stopping their momentum,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: especially on the offensive side. You, on the reverse, started
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: missing shots, including Joker, missing a lot of mid-range stuff.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And if there's one takeaway I have at this point
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the season for the Nuggets, we're now 3-3. There's two.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: One is an incredible positive. The positive is Jamal Murray's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: been on a mission all year. For anybody complaining about
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Jamal and, you know, he had just that really rough
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: opening game to the year where he was 2 of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: 11 against Oklahoma City. Look at his numbers since then.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's averaging like 30, 32, 33 a night or something
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like that. He's been remarkable. And confident in stepping up
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and when he's presented with a three-pointer, even without breathing room,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he's taking shots. But I think he's playing... with a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: fire and a fervor to go out and make things happen.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: He was pissed at the end of that game that
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they were losing. And I think maybe he's taken a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: bigger step into some leadership roles. I just... The difference
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that I have here between how good Jamal's been to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: start the year, and let's be honest, guys, how weird
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Joker looks. I mean, Joker is his, the name of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: his game is efficiency. And Joker on the season is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: shooting 47% from the floor, 22 and a half from three.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Like he's in the 2023 season, he shot 63% from
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the floor. And I've mentioned this, there's been an increase
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: over the last few years of Joker taking threes. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I think that you can tell when things are going
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: right for the Nuggets, his three pointers that he attempts
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: are like one or two a game. Look at the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: games in which you've lost. He's attempted seven in that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City game. Sixth in the game against Golden State.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Seven again last night against Portland. In the wins, he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: did take 10 in that first game against New Orleans.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But if you remember, that was a terrible game that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you had to come back and fight and claw back
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to win. In the two games that you played well
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in one against the second game against New Orleans and
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: then the game against Phoenix, he took one three combined
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and he was eight of 13 from the floor in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: both games. Like that is where Jokic has been great.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: When he doesn't feel the need to take threes, the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Nuggets are in good shape. But when he starts throwing
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: those up consistently, like six, seven times, more than that, ten,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets are in trouble. And just for whatever reason,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: he just looks at times very, I don't know if
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: uninterested is the right word. But it's been frustrating because
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: his game is always like, hey, let me get to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that mid-range, hit some floaters, some hook shots, get to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the rim, hit you with the old spin cycle, drop step, whatever.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And it's just not been there for him this year.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You want to look at why the Nuggets are struggling?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's because the best player on their team has been Jamal.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And Jamal's a very good player. But Jokic is an all-timer.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not, like, concerned about But it is very, very
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: odd to see this happen. Now, you're in for some
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: trouble again. Cam Johnson, who just got back to entering
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the lineup, has the most injured hamstring in the history
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of injured hamstring, at least obviously. He cuts to the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: middle of the paint. He turns around. He tries to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: kick one back out to the corner to Jamal. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: immediately grabs the hammy and starts walking away. Jamal is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like the only one who recognizes it, so he's yelling
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: at people to foul. You're back in the sort of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: combo starting five thing again, where maybe Trevin Brazile is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: going to step up into that role. I don't know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but the Nuggets are right back on the injury front.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And if Joker's not playing very well, And Aaron Gordon
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is having a very, very up and down season. This
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is going to be incredibly difficult to, to navigate through.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I've liked things that I've seen out of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: guys off the bench. I think Bagley has been pretty good.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Brazil has obviously been, uh, a really bright spot. Um,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: DeMar DeRozan, I think, is getting more comfortable in his
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: role off the bench and being a little bit more aggressive.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He went a lot of one-on-one last night, which he
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: should be doing with that second unit. But Alfa Diallo
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: comes back. He's like the first one off the bench
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and plays six minutes never to be seen again. I
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if that means he got hurt again or
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: if the minutes just weren't good enough to get back
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: out on the floor. Bottom line is you're in some trouble.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Health-wise again. And just feels like the same old kind
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of song and dance. Nuggets get a couple of good
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: games in a row, then you have a game like
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: this in which somebody leaves with an injury, and now
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you're left scrambling again. We'll get more into this as
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: we go along. 303-504-0925. Shop Mazda Text Line. One price,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: one person, one hour. Abs and nuggets from last night.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Still more Broncos to react to. Stick around. We do
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it every week following the college football weekend. It is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: college football. Stock up, stock down. We always start with
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Nelly, stock up. How's this for a curveball?
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of you guys don't care and
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: maybe don't know this team exists, but Texas State was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a point away from upsetting number 20 Boise over the weekend,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Boise State. They have a quarterback who's a sophomore by
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the name of Brad Jackson. If you look up Texan,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that is who Brad Jackson is. Mustache, little mullet going
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on there, but this guy is a baller. He had
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: 327 yards and four touchdowns against Boise. He's got 18
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and five picks on the year. About 2,000 yards passing.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: He's a runner. He's had multiple games this year in
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: which he's averaging, I don't know, like 10 carries a game.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: But he's had 181-yard rushing performance. That was against CSU
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks ago. He had 54 yards
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: on the ground against Boise, including a touchdown on the ground.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: He's had five rushing TDs. in his last three weeks,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying is if you're flipping through one of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the channels on the College Football Saturday and you come
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: across Texas State, watch Brad Jackson. He's a fun watch.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: And in these games, whether it's this or NFL Stock Up,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Stock Down, I like highlighting, yeah, there's my boy right there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Look at him. That is a Texan through and through.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Born in San Antonio, goes to Texas State, I love
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: this kid. But I like highlighting some people maybe you
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: haven't heard of every once in a while. Brad Jackson,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: one of them, a lot of fun to watch. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he gets the stock up. Let's go quarterback stock down.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: So Wisconsin is a very weird team. They've played a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: couple of ranked opponents this year. They played Notre Dame.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That didn't go well week one. But a couple weeks ago,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: they win 24-7 against USC. And this guy, Colton Joseph,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: who's been their quarterback, he can't really throw. Let's just
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: be honest. He can't really do it. He does run
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the football okay, but in the last three weeks, which
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: has resulted in a 17-7 loss to UCLA, a 24-7
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: win over USC, and now a 30-0 loss to Iowa,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in which he was benched in this game... He has
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: not thrown for 100 yards in the last three weeks.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He was 5 of 14 throwing the football against Iowa
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for 90 yards. He has only one touchdown throwing the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: ball in the last three weeks. And if he's not
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball, you want to see him run it. Well,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he hasn't ran the football very well either. He's got
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: 11 touchdowns and five picks on the year. But it
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: feels like as the competition has got stiffer and stiffer,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: his numbers have taken a giant dip. In the UCLA
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and Iowa losses combined, he's 11 for 30 for 156
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: yards and no touchdowns. Just not going to do it
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: against the top competition in the league. And he's a senior.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: This is his last chance to really make some hay.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: But Colton Joseph, he gets a stock down. Let's go
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Big 12 team stock up. The Big 12. I'm going
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to be honest. In both the Big 12 and nationally,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it's getting hard to pick stock up, stock downs because
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it's Teams are just rising and falling by the day.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to stick with Utah. They're, I think,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the most impressive team in the conference. They just took
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: on a Cincinnati team who walked in 5-2, went on
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the road to Cincinnati, and in the first half of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that game, put up 42 points and had a 42-6 lead.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: They then took their foot off the gas in the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: second half, only scored seven points from there on out,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: but didn't have to do much of anything. It was
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: just kind of hanging on. Until the clocks hit zero,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Devin Dampier had another great day where he was 260
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: yards passing with three touchdowns and a pick. Utah's just
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: got a hell of a football team, man. They're very,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: very sound in a bunch of different categories. To see
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: that happen after losing Kyle Whittingham, even though they take
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a longtime assistant and they kind of throw him into
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the head coaching position, you still think there might be
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a transitional phase? There's not. Like
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: this team took over with him and just started rolling.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: They're the number six team in the country. They're 8-0
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: on the year. Utah, to me, is by far the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: most impressive. And they have their biggest test coming up
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: this Saturday when they take on BYU. And it's going
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to be an absolute battle, a war. If they can
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: get through them, I think you're looking at the Big
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: 12 champions being Utah. So they get the stock up.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Let's go. Big 12 teams stocked out. the big quill!
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: In a bizarre sort of up and down season, Oklahoma
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: State loses their first game of the year to Tulsa.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They at that point, I think we're riding either a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: 12 or 13 game losing streak dating back to last year.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: The next week, they play No. 6 Oregon. They beat
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: them 39-31. Now, we found out that Oregon is a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: bad football team this year, but that was a huge
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: moment for them. They then go on to rattle off
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: four straight. They play Houston at Houston. It comes down
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to the wire, and they lose by a field goal.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: They go out, play against CU, close first half. They
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: dominate the second. Now everybody's talking about Drew Mastabaker, their quarterback,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: being the top quarterback off the board in the draft
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: coming up this year. Then they go on the road
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and play Iowa State. They put up 49 points and
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: lose to Iowa State, 51-49, which now takes them to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: 5-3 on the year. They're 3-2 in the conference. They
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: are capable of beating anybody, but with that defense, they
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are capable of losing to anybody. should have pretty much
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a gimme game against Kansas State coming up this weekend,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: but then they take on Texas Tech. Like, I don't know.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State is one of the weirdest teams in the country.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Great quarterback play, great offense, and absolutely no defense to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: speak of, which is the opposite of the next team
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that we'll talk about in national team stock up.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: UCLA.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: UCLA.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: UCLA is 8-0. They're number five in the country. I still,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: despite them being the only Big Ten team undefeated right now,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: only team 5-0 in conference play, they haven't played the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: big dogs this year, and they won't. There is no
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. There is no Indiana on their schedule. the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: last really tough game that they have, they play against
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: USC at the end of the year, but it might
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: be this upcoming week. Minnesota is only five and three
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: in the conference, but Minnesota gives teams help as they
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: did this last weekend. When Minnesota was a sliver away
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: from beating Indiana in a crazy game that featured back
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to back 60 yard field goals from each team to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: send the game into overtime with 19 seconds left. Um,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But UCLA, I'm not too fond of their offense. You know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: this is how they've won games. In the last month,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they just beat Nevada this last weekend 27-0. They beat
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Michigan State, who is horrible. 0-5 in the Big Ten.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: 28-10.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: They beat Wisconsin, who we just talked about, who can't
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: do anything on offense, 17-7. And they beat Oregon 17-15.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: If they play against an offense that can do something,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I think that UCLA's in trouble. I just don't know
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: if it's coming. Minnesota's a fun football team. Minnesota doesn't
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: move the football very well. Then they play against Illinois.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Illinois's okay. They're 5-3 on the year. They're 3-2, but
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: they've won their last couple of games scoring 20 points.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Then they play Michigan. We know Michigan's problems, especially at
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the quarterback position. And then they play USC, which is
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: going to be the big test for them. Like, I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think UCLA with their defense can go 11-0 heading into
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that final week against USC and then maybe get pasted
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: by them. I have no idea. But for the moment,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I'll give them the stock up because I think they
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: deserve it. In the meantime, national team stock down. Ohio
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: State is just a mess without Julian saying. You know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the second his arm got put in a sling, you
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: were running into some real trouble. And they were able
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to survive in the game against Indiana in large part
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: because Nick Marsh just couldn't keep a foot in mounds.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: That final play of the game for Indiana looked like
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a touchdown where Ohio State was going to lose, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: they get lucky. By him just being about half a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: foot out of bounds, then they play USC, and USC
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: rolls him 30-18. And you just kind of saw without
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, without Julian San, not even to say that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Fahey played terrible, but you could tell the gigantic step
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: down that was made. And I think that Ohio State
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: is going to be in some trouble here. They play
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: against Oregon coming up. And, you know, Oregon, if they
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: get a good game out of whoever they're going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: start at quarterback, whether it's Riola or whoever, maybe they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: can give them a run. I mean, Oregon just had
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a good win against a pretty damn testy Northwestern team
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: where Riola had three touchdowns and 330 yards passing. I
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: think there's a legitimate shot that maybe Ohio State loses
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that game. Spread on that is seven, but that's within
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the margin for error. Ohio State needs Julian Zane back
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: in a hurry. But for the meantime, their national team
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: stocked down. Let's go Heisman stock up. I try not
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to do repeats on this, but I can't stop picking
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: this guy. Malachi Toney is incredible. Watching, I watched a
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: lot of that Miami UNC game. Halloween night. And Malachi Toney, again,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: seven catches, 75 yards, two touchdowns. But every time he
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: touches the football, it's a highlight reel. Like, it's amazing
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: to watch. In the last... Three weeks, he's got seven touchdowns.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: He's got 34 catches for almost 400 yards. Like, he's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: just remarkable. And when they mix it up every once
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in a while by giving him a touch on the ground, too, like,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: he is very much... Another guy that used to play
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: down in Florida. Pretty damn good player back in the day.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: He reminds me a lot of a Percy Harvin. Just
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: kind of do-it-all guy. Maybe a little bit tinier, but
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: still stocky enough to take some hits. He's just, he's
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: an incredible watch. Which takes us to Heisman Stockdown. Look,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: very well might be the first player off the draft
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: board coming up in late April. But... We were just
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: highlighting Ohio State not having Julian Zan, and Jeremiah Smith
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: is still a very, very good wide receiver. Best player,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I think, in college football in the country. He still
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: had 10 catches for 83 yards and a touchdown against USC,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: but you could tell the second that Julian Zan left
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the lineup, It just hasn't been the same level of production.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had back-to-back 200-yard games against Illinois and Iowa,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: of all teams, just three and four weeks ago. Now,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, he's got 14 catches for
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: 150 yards and two TDs. Look, good numbers. But if
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: you want to win a Heisman from that position, you've
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: got to be putting up insane numbers every single week.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And I just don't know if he's going to get
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: that for as long as Julian Sands is going to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: be out. It's just going to be, I think, a really,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: really difficult uphill climb for him to stay in that
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: position by the end of the year when I'm sure
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a whole bunch of people putting really,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: really big highlight packages together and just statistically racking up numbers.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So that is Heisman stocked down. Let's go to best
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: game of the week. Oh, yes! Best game of the week.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I have two options. And look, when I do this,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I don't watch every single game. I will tell you this.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I watched a lot of the Arizona-Texas Tech game. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: thought that one was good. But I think if I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: had to choose one, Minnesota and Indiana was great. But
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Miami and North Carolina was a fantastic football game. It
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: was the number one team in the country against a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: 4-3 team playing at home. Bill Belichick. Back and forth,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: goes down to the wire. You need to have your
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: big-time players like Malachi, Tony, making plays to win you
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: football games. It was a fantastic, fantastic football game. So
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that one will be the best of the week. Let's
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: go with upset of the week.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: No!
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: God, please, no! There's really not a huge upset in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: college football this past weekend, I would say, if anything.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Syracuse beating SMU, just because SMU, with all the firepower
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: they have of Kevin Jennings, under center for them. The
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: senior who just puts up insane numbers. You want to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: talk about stuff in a stat sheet? I mean, this
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: guy does it through the air and the ground. Them
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: getting a win over SMU, 30-27, to get them back
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to 500 on the year, I guess would qualify as
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the upset of the week. But that is college football.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Stock up, stock down. Do it every week following the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: college football weekend. A lot more I want to get
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to here with the Nuggets and the Avs from last night.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Also want to get back to the Broncos and ask
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: a question as we head into this upcoming game before bye.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I am not worried, but I am... I'm jittery, we'll
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: call it. Angsty about the early play from... two people
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that are essential to the Nugget success, which is Jokic
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Gordon. They just don't look like they have
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a rhythm. It doesn't look like they're playing confidently. When
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Joker is shooting less than 50% from the floor through
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a bulk of games here, we're through six games in
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the season. I understand it's still early, but it's throwing
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: me for a loop because that's just not what you're
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: used to. The two guys on this team that have
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: been the best for the Nuggets all season have been
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Jamal Murray and Christian Brown. You know the two guys
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: who catch the most heat? Those two guys have been
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: your best players. And when you're playing and Jokic is
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: not going to be the best player on the floor,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: if it's going to be Jamal, you can get away
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: with that for a game. You can't get away with
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: that for a handful of games. And combine that with
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the fact that Aaron Gordon has had more bad games
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: than good. You start to wonder, okay, is he fully healthy?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: We're doing that already this season. I mean, AG has
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: had half the games. This season in which he finished
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: with less than 10 points. You know, he's shooting 36%
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: from the floor. 36. This is a guy who over
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the last few years, remember, he really improved his three-point shot,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: his three-point shooting at 35%. That's fine. But there's got
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to be, I think, in his game, some give and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: take between shooting the three and doing the work inside.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And the fact that it just doesn't look right to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: me between him and Joker is setting a really weird
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: tone to start the year. Number one, number two, Cam
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Johnson leaving with an obvious hamstring that looks like it
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: really hurts. And my guess is he's, he's going to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: be in that four to six week category before we
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: even think about getting him back on the floor again.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: You know, your depth is already tested. Somebody earlier in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the show said, uh, uh, The defensive guy stinks. Talking
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: about Alpha Diallo. I don't think we've seen enough from
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: him to make a determination on that yet, but would
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it be the most shocking thing in the world if
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the 29-year-old who's never played in the NBA doesn't look
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: like he's an NBA type of player? Probably not. It's
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: kind of what I'm talking about. All offseason, where it's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: like if you're going to the bargain bin to try
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and find some depth, yeah, maybe you get a hit,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And it looks like they did with the Trevon Brazil,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: but you're going to have a lot of guys that
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: probably aren't that caliber of player. And this is just,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's very simply not going to be a sustainable product
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: if you get this kind of production out of AG
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and out of Nikola Jokic. So we'll get to that
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: in just a little bit. Broadcasting from the Backus &
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Shanker Studios. Backus & Shanker, your hometown injury lawyers. In
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a car accident, call 303-222-2222.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: If you've been to a 7-Eleven and they're out of burritos,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: you can thank Mark Mosher.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: How do you trust a man whose favorite restaurant is 7-Eleven?
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Why would Colorado trust the man who leaves half-eaten burritos
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: in our altitude studios?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: He even put ketchup on a hot dog.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: You've got to be kidding me.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Mark Mosher. Bad culinary choices. Bad for Colorado.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Vote no on Mosher and gas station burritos. I'm Dan
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Tanner and I approve this message.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: November is Hockey Fights Cancer Month, and the Avs and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Vitale are encouraging people to donate blood to support Hockey
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Fights Cancer. As all of these blood donations, you would
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: not believe the amount in donations of blood used directly
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: in the fight of cancer. It is a massive percentage,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and so... If you want to get signed up during
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the month of November, you can schedule a blood donation
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: at any Vitalant donation center or blood drive using the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Colorado Avalanche virtual blood drive link. Everyone who donates will
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: be entered to win a 2026-27 Avalanche team signed stick
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: or a Josh Manson signed stick. Go to Vitalant.org forward
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: slash hockey fights cancer for more info and to schedule
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that blood donation today. So, um, Get back to the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: abs and nuggets in a moment. I do want to
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: talk about the Broncos here for a second. And I've
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of people throw this out there. And
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I am, look, I've been the guy that has been
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: as or more encouraged by this guy from the very
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: jump than anybody. And that is Jonah Coleman. Like the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: first day of the day of the draft, I got
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: on the air afterwards and I said, I don't think
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: people understand that this guy out of Washington is a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: bowling ball. He can run between the tackles. He is
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: somebody that is very, very capable of helping the Broncos. Now,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: one thing is assured over the past couple of weeks
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that Jonah Coleman is your best running back on the team.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And especially now with R.J. Harvey on IR, Jonah Coleman
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: is your featured back. My guess is J.K. Dobbins is
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: still going to get some run because that's the way
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that Sean Payton does his offense is that he has
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to have multiple people in the backfield to switch up
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: looks for his offense. Just what he does. But J.K. Dobbins,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I think we can all tell, is the goose is cooked.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't have the burst anymore. He's a very
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: patient running back, but to be patient, you have to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: be able to seize the hole when it's there. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: it just looks like when he sees it, I mean,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: with his eyes, when he locates the hole, he just
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the oomph to make it through to the
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: next level before being tackled. Jonah Coleman has that. I
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: also think that a lot of the talk surrounding Jonah
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Coleman is a little premature. You know, we talked to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Adam Schefter yesterday. I've heard people on national broadcasts, whether
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it's ESPN or whatever, saying, yeah, you know, the Broncos
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: are in the mix for Jonathan Taylor, but I liked
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: what I saw from Jonah Coleman. It's like, I liked
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: what I saw too. I also don't think that looked
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: anything like Jonathan Taylor. You know, Jonah Coleman has been
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: somebody that he will turn maybe a negative play into
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a positive play. But on the season, Jonah Coleman's got
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: 30 carries for 134 yards. Those are good numbers. His
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: longest run of the year on those 30 carries is 15.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: He had in the game Sunday, you know, a decent day,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: 11 carries for 41 yards. It's okay. I know that
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: everybody talks about the big touchdown, the 51 yarder, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: that is big time. Perfect play call. He steps up
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and makes something happen from it. What I really liked
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: is when they got down to the five-yard line, they
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: punched it in immediately. Like, that's what I think that
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: he's capable of. But I am not willing to put
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: my hopes and dreams in a fourth-round rookie for a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: team that I want to win a championship. And if... Look,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: if the asking price is too high on Jonathan Taylor,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: then it's too high. And then you live with this,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: and that's fine. But I don't think there's any questions.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: there needs to be a concentrated, focused effort on trying
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to make this happen because this is the position that
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: you're in right now. And Texas says, any chance the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Broncos make a push for Derrick Henry? I don't know.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: The odd thing about where Baltimore's at right now is
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Baltimore is, their season's over. They know it, but they
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: play in two days. And they're still 4-4. If they
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: somehow get a win against Jacksonville and they're 5-4, do
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: they want to push the button of like, well, we're
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: going to totally give up and then start selling off
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: some pieces? Maybe a lot of it has to do
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: with what's going to happen in two days. And then
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: they have a few days where they could make a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: trade if they wanted to.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Broncos are going to make a push for
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And in other news, I'm making a push
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: for Sidney Sweeney right now. Well, it's not, look, Nelly,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: it's not a crazy thought if the Ravens lose in
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: two days and look terrible doing it. Because Lamar Jackson's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: not coming back. I mean, they're talking about right now is,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: did Lamar Jackson play his last game for the Baltimore Ravens? Like,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that is possible. There's no guaranteed money after this year.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Now he has a no trade clause, but it's a
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: legitimate question of Baltimore who just fired their head coach
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: last year, whose season seems to be going awry, whose
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback can't stay healthy. Not just this year, like the
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: past four years, he has missed multiple games that has
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: really hindered their opportunities to win championships. Because that's the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: mode that that team wants to be in. And again,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: it's a really interesting discussion to see what's going to
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: happen with Lamar Jackson moving forward after this year. He
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: signed a five-year, $ 260 million extension in 2023. Well, you're
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: getting towards the tail end of that one. And if
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: they want to totally tear this thing down, then maybe
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: they would be willing to do that. But they have
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: a game in two days, so it's weird. the focus
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: right now has to be on Jonathan Taylor because Jonathan
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Taylor is available. That's it. But I think that you
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: need to do whatever. And look, if it's not Jonathan Taylor,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: then make it, uh, Brees Hall. You know, if the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Jets are willing to deal them, I just think you
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: need to make a concerted effort at improving that position
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: because that position is going to help you more than
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: anything else. And a lot of people throw out tight end.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: And I would agree with you. Getting a better tight
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: end in here, maybe that helps a lot. But there's
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: none of those guys available. Trey McBride, Tyler Warren, they
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere. That's not happening. So, a lot of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: different moving parts around the NFL as we have this
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: trade deadline that is a week from today. And my
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: assumption is going to be that we'll get some kind
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: of news from the Broncos. Here's one thing that I
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: know for sure. The Broncos, ever since this new ownership
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: group took over, there has not been hesitation to go
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: out and do the big thing. They will. They'll go
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: out and sort of stick their coyotes on the line.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and be risky enough to make a move like this
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: if they think it's going to help. Like, I don't
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: like the narrative that's been going around surrounding Jalen Waddle
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: saying that's a bust of a trade. I don't think
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that this has anything to do with Waddle. I think
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Waddle is actually, he's been the reason why if you
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: have any space to operate in the secondary, it's because
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: of defenses fearing him. Now, the numbers haven't been there,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: but that's because your quarterback hasn't gotten your wide receivers
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the football all that well. better over the last couple
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of weeks, but I got a hard time believing that,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: you know, look at the seasons that Jalen model put
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: up as a number two in Miami with two of
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: throwing him the football. I think that there is a,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: a big time sort of question about why can't the
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: quarterback get it there? And here's the beautiful thing about
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: a running back. The running back just gets handed the football.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: It's almost like 100% of the time the handoff gets completed.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: And there's no hesitation about it. The thing that I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: think could help both Bo Nix's confidence in this offense
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: more than anything else is getting a running back because
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: that is not dependent on the quarterback position. That is
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: dependent on putting the ball in that guy's hands and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: letting him make a play. So it's a week away.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: But I do think, you know, I'm not going to
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: make fun of anybody doing the Derrick Henry thing. Maybe
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: he will become available. I don't know. But the Ravens
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: are in a very, very odd place of, like, what
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: direction do they want to go? Are they just going
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to chalk this up to, hey, man, weird year. Lamar
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: will be back. We'll be fine next season. Because they
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: did that last year. They fired their coach. Or would
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: they be in a place, if they lose this Thursday
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: against Jacksonville, Where they'd be like, you know what? We're
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: open for business. I have no idea. So 303-504-0925. You
