  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardy and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Thunder Basketball For the game winner, high right side is Alexander.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Four seconds for the jumper.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Two point seven seconds left for Denver Nuggets need a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: three pounder to tie Gordon from Deep No Good and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the Thunder sliver out of their own marina with a victory.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Final tonight from the Methodome one twenty nine to one
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: twenty six Thunder over the Denver Nuggets.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I didn't think that's what hurt us.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: I thought it was just their runouts, their pace compared
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: to ours, and I think we got frustrated the fact
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: we missed some easy shots around the rim, and you
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: can't do that. You have to team to play the game.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Uh So we got to the six minute mark. We
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: were lucky to only be down a few because we
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: didn't play well enough. And in games like this, because
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: teams this good, you can't have lulls of six minutes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: That's it, all right, So a lot to do this
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: this morning. NFL free agency opens up yesterday and the
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: Broncos took the approach of twittle thumbs for twenty four hours,
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: so we'll see if that changes. But I want to
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: put that on the back burner for a second because
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: I can't do it again. I know it's close, and hey,
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: you're right there in the game, and you almost bet
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: I can't. I can't do that that again, like it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: time to win.
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: See, I feel like doing that though today. I don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: disagree with you, but I feel like doing that today,
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: and I think Vic, the only reason that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I feel that way.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: I hate the loss and Sha made I feel like
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: a d when Joker makes those shots. Shay made two
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: terrific step back threes rainbow out of the sky threes
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: to win that game.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Whatever you feel about Shay in his style of play,
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: he's a fantastic player.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: No doubt.
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: But Vic, I saw a fight out of that team,
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: even if they were not connected on defense at times,
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: too many layups and so on. I did see fight
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: and I saw one two out of that squad. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: now it's time.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: To clean up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Can I tell you why I can't? And VIC will
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: let you go in a second, but just to set
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: the table before you and where I'm at it's close game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: You were down seven with a minute thirty left. That
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: game was a lot closer than probably should have been.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: You got the four point play which tied the game.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: That was a little bit silly on Okac's part. Ok
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: See was missing Chet Caruso, j dubb In Hartenstein. Then
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: they're missing four of their main players, and you still
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: couldn't do it. That's why I can't. I can't do
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: that today.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: But VIC go ahead. Well, I mean.
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: I saw fight, I saw pride, I saw clutch play,
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: I saw energy, I saw physicality. I saw a lot
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: of great stuff. I also came to the realization that
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: this team isn't good enough.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's kind of where I am.
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: Championship roster when it was built, and I thought it
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: was the best roster in Nugget's history when it was built.
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: But here we are in March, and you guys have eyes.
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: There are some flaws in the roster. The non Jokic
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: minutes are still yeah, same as it ever was. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: the game was lost as soon as he went to
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: the bench.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Last night, Adam.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: As he went to the bench and Valanchounis and company
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: came in, the game was lost.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Adaman said as much.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: For me, it was the second quarter that losses this game.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: We started the second quarter at six I think it
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: was six points in six minutes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I just didn't do a good enough job.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Was not ball strong around the rim. So we have
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: to keep searching for the right unit they can play
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: together and compliment each other.
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: So you do everything you can in the offseason to
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: fix that. And we thought they did, at least I
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: thought they did. Yeah, early in the season it looked
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: like they did. But in these big games against tougher opponents,
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: all the fight, all the pride, all that in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: world is not going to beat you, even against a
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: team that is missing four key players.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: As soon as I found out.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: That Holme, grin Hartenstein and company were out, I told
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: my cohorts, you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Got to win this game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: There's no no moral victories. That's yeah, there's no This
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: isn't field day. Yeah, I get it, I get it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: Sga had a great shot, he's amazing. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: You gotta win the game. And they couldn't win the game.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: So listen, can pretend. We can play this pretend game
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: all morning.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They're just not good enough right now.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: No, and if they want to be good enough, it's
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: up to them to prove it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's not up to me to say it. You know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: if you're gonna, if you want me to hear you
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: whisper that in your ear for three.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Hours, I can well, this is all right. Let me
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: make a comparison point. It's March tenth. The if they
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: do this, If they do that, you're this far into
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: the season, you are who you are. I feel the
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: same way about the Avs power play motion. I'm just like,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: it's just it's not good. I don't think there's any
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: changing this. But the Avs might be good enough elsewhere
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: to overcome struggles in that department when the playoffs hit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: The Nuggets aren't. Because there's one thing that is an
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: absolute necessity. If you want to be a championship team,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: you have to win close games. And can you give
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: me a can you give me Jamal again there, Nelly,
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: from what you pulled up late in the appetizer, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: just let us hear this one more time, because I'm
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: bothered by this now. I know it's retrospect and it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: hindsight and all that stuff, but when I hear this,
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: it kind of makes me mad.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: You know, it's is difficult.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: I feel like for ten years we've been so good,
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: so good, and then we this is probably our worst
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: year so far of just consistently being clutched and and
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: now we don't got no more.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: So it's just how it goes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Sometimes. We just got to prove you guys wrong.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: It's after the Lakers game in which they won, where
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: he did that with a wink and a tongue in
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: cheek and all that different stuff, and I'm like, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: you aren't. And I can tell you why it's important.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Were the Broncos the most talented team on paper? Were
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: they one of the most talented teams in the league? Like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: probably not. They had a whole bunch of flaws and holes,
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: and but they won close games like that was their separator.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: They did that. That's why they're on the doorstep of
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: the super Bowl. This team is almost like, especially against
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: good teams, incapable of doing that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Listen, you can hate, Okac, and I do I despise.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Okay, See, we're at that point now where they may
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: have surp asked the Lakers on my loos un till
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: it happened last game for me. Yeah, their head coach
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: is a fake. He admitted what he said after game
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: the lou Door game, that he was wrong. Glad he
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: admitted that because he's a fake. What you see on
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: the court is what he teaches, and that's fine because
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: it works for them. Can't stand the team, can't stand
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: anything about him. But guess what, guess what they own
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: you right now? Yeah, and it's okay to say that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: It's okay, it is what it is? Can I And
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: what's more frustrating, You're gonna play them one more time
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: in the second the last game of the season, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: that game probably won't mean anything.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: They'll probably sit everybody.
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: As soon as I found out they were sitting four
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: guys last night, I said, oh oh, because now they
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: have nothing to lose. Now they're going with that game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: Who cares if we lose? We're missing four guys?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Who cares? And they played like it even if they.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Had all their guys, they'd play with nothing to lose.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: They really don't have anything. I mean, the Spurs are
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: creeping up on them and the standings or whatever. But
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: can I give you just a couple of different stats
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: from Dan Hyatt after the game yesterday? What do you
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: think of this motion. Tonight, Denver was up by sixteen
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: at one point, and they lost. It was the fifth
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: loss of the year when leading by sixteen or more
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: in a game. That's the most such losses in any
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: season during the Jokich era.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, and a lot of that happens when the
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: starters go to the bench.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Here's another one. The Nuggets lost to the Thunder by three.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: They missed eight free throws, three in the fourth quarter.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: This is the eighth game they've lost missing more free
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: throws than the points they've lost by. Yeah, said, you
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: win half those games, your third in the West, not.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Sixth make throws.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: This is a therapy session, somebody on the text. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: just said, Vick, you're providing me therapy. You're providing me
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: therapy because I was tossing and turning all night. Most
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: you've had those moments, I mean, covering the where you
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: just know, right, you just know no, you just know sure.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's what hit me last.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Look at me, though, Vic, look at me today, look
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: at me being optimistic.
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's you could be optimistic all you want,
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: and that's fine. I listen for those of you who
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: wish to be optimistic. I have no problem. Maybe I'll
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: turn to be an optimist. But they have to take
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: me there. It's not me taking them. See there's the difference.
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: They have to take me there.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: You have to win these games because these.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: Are the games you're gonna get in the playoffs. Everybody
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: keeps saying, well, just wait till they're healthy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Wait, think about this for a second, Wait till.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: We get ag back.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Well he was back, and he scored nineteen to the
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: first twenty nine points. What more do you want? Wait
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: till we get so and so back. Now we're wait
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: till we get pe watback. At what point you stop
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: saying that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: It's one guy that you're missing that game? At what
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: point every game has that?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: At what point you just play? Wait?
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, motion, tell me why you're optimistic.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I just feel like.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: I saw something, excuse me, out of this team that
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: I don't see on every given night.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: What did you see that we haven't seen before? Exactly?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: What actually saw? Some fight? I saw some want to
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I saw that state.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Nothing changed the last O.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Let him finish.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Hang on ahead, I'm good, God, I'm happy. I'm just so.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: It was fight for them, so is there you full
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: blown field day now or what?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: No? Well, then Fisher thought, like, I'm trying.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: The fact is that I don't know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: I just vic I it was a feeling that came
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: over me watching that game. Now, you you can try
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: to get into my head, and you probably don't want to,
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: but you can't get into my feelings. You cannot invade
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: my feelings.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I sat there and I go, you know what, I
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: just I just had a feeling last night.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: I had a thought when I'm watching these games or
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: these players play that game, that it's it just felt
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: different to me than the last five games I've watched.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: That's why they get blown out and it makes you happy.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe maybe that's part of it. Sure, maybe that's part
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: of it. No, I just feel like there's time to
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: still put things together. There's time to find that umph that,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: you know, more of that consistent type of okay, enough
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: of this crap, let's go type of thing.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: There's still enough time to do that now.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Now, as far as winning an NBA title, I don't
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: feel that optimistic, but I feel but just I feel
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: like they feel like we can find something here.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: That's my measuring stick.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: My measuring stick is an NBA championship, because that's what
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: this roster was built to do.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: It's it was the deepest most.
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: Talented roster I thought in Nugget's history when it was
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: originally built.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So if if.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You're playing the field day, hey to compete, and that's fine.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: That's one thing. I of course they are, of course
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: they are.
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: They could upset some teams, and but to take me
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: to where I think they should go, they've got to
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: do it, and they've got to upset some teams, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: they've got to prove people wrong.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Right now, they're not doing that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: You know what their record is in their last fifteen
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: games against winning teams?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Terrible? Their record against winning teams.
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: These are teams above five hundred in their last fifteen games.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Give me, give me a number, go ahead, Well, I
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: know six.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: You're sixteen and nineteen overall. I know that to the
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: last fifteen games probably not good.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Three and thirteen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Goodness gracious, that's bad.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Well, that's and that's kind of where where I'm sitting today.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Is when you're a team that is built and I
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: agree with Vic I thought heading into the season, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I've kept the same thing. Anything short of an NBA
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: title isn't good enough for how this how good this
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: team is and the player that you have on it, Like,
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: you need to measure things differently when you have the
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: best player in the world and being close isn't good enough.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: You know, there's there's times when if that record was
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: how many games against above five hundred teams in total,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: sixteen and nineteen till thirty five. If their record's twenty
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: five and ten against teams like that or twenty three
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: and twelve and they dropped that game last night in
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: the same fashion, I'd be like, that's fine, but I
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: don't have the positives to lean back on when something
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: like that happens.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, Vicky, you're you're a therapist, Okay, amateur psychologist.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: What would you do to pull Cam Johnson aside and
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: talk to him? What would you say to him?
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: But it's him and Christian Brown.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: It's both of them agreed, But I'm stop. I'm gonna
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: start with Cam. What would you What would you say
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: to Cam? Vick if you have a player who self
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: admittedly and has the past couple of weeks is in one,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: what would you say?
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know what to say. To him.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I mean, it's not just him. It's
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: not just one player. It's not just him.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Christian Brown last night admitted after the game that he
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: got roasted.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, those two combining for ten points is happening far
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: too often for people in the starting five.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: It's just it's never just one player.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, I could look at the OKC lineup and
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: pick you know, two or three players and here and there,
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: but they're just not getting enough.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: But what's worse than that, vic is I could accept, Like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: how's this for a name in the past. Remember Tony
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: Allen out of Memphis never scored. That wasn't the point.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: If you score six points in a game, but you
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: play lockdown defense, that's good, you cancel it out, that's fine.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: You're getting neither. I feel like both of them. You
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: aren't getting points and you aren't getting good defense. And
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: so then it's like, well, then what.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Do we do here?
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, Christian Brown, how many games has he had
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: where he's had you know, single digit points this year?
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: It's been a pretty consistent problem. You know, just in
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: the last two games he's got eleven total points. That's
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: somebody that you're paying what vic What was his number?
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: Thirty million dollars? What is it that he's making now,
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: something like that? And you did that because it looked
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: like his offensive game took a huge step forward last year.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, he averaged over fifteen and a half points.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: As much as I agreed with the decision to let
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Russell Westbrook go, I did. I just thought, you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: there was too much havoc, too much. But you tell
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: me who would have done more for this team?
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I agree? Who would have done more for this team?
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: More that we can get to with that in just
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: a bit.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he brought heart and energy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, no matter how bad he played at times, no
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: matter how many turnovers, no matter any of that, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: knew that he was always going to play with the
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: ultimate energy and physicality. And right now I see too
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: many zombie like plays.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: I agree. When we come back. NFL free agency opens yesterday.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I was so excited, and then the Broncos just did
• 16:27

  Speaker 3: I mean that's what they did.
• 16:49

• 16:52
  Speaker 6: was just like, hey, guys, Singleton's.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Back, I'm roster.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: Why the opposing team is missing two centers?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You've got all your bigs.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: And the Nuggets are running an offense, and I know
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: the offense is extraordinary. Why aren't the bigs posting up
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: down low? Why are the bigs hanging out at the
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: free throw line the entire game?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: I don't know, and we'll get to that in just
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: a little bit. NFL free agency keyword coming away next.

  Speaker 9: drafted here, but I do firmly believe that I'm a
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: Bronco and love everyone here, even love you guys. And
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: sometimes that's hard because, as I can recall, at the
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: beginning of like in the summer, you guys were in
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: you you were predicting like seven hundred yards for me
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: rushing throughout the whole year.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I got that in ten weeks.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Almost eight hundred.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: So it is hard to be, you know, hard to
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: like you guys.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: But I like you guys. That's how that's how great
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Here that man is back on a two year deal.
• 18:03

• 18:32
  Speaker 6: the keyword for this hour is dink, So dink. Ten
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: o'clock rolls around yesterday. I'm pumped. I'm in car on
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: the drive home, listening to Raj and Sanford.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I'm waiting to hear.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: Some news like come on, bring it to me, And
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: then an hour passes nothing happened. I was like, all right,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: it's just a first wave of free agency. Oh what
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Kenneth Walker is going to the Chiefs. That stucks. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: don't want to go to the Chiefs. But God did
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: suck by the way too pricey? Hi, I see Kenneth
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: Walker wasn't coming here. How about etn Etn still on
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: the board, heard they're interested? How about him? Ah, he's
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: going to the Saints four years, fifty two million dollars.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, Uh?
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Well how about Tyler Algier. He's a big bowling ball
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: of running back. Good like depth for you if you
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: need somebody, if somebody gets hurt. He leaves on six
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: million dollars a year to go somewhere. I forget where.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: And then you just quickly realized nothing's gonna happen today,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: is it? And what they ended up doing was bringing
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: back Alex Singleton. We saw the sternad news that he
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: was back. They bring back JK. Dobbins on a two year,
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: twenty million dollar deal with only eight million guarantees that
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: feels more like a one year deal with the chance
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: for two. And then they let go of Dre Greenlaw
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: and JFM was signed by the Titans. It's not that
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: I'm I think they did anything wrong yesterday. I kind
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: of think all of the moves that they made were correct.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: With the exception of the Troutman contract, I think everything
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: they did was right. Letting Greenwalt Greenlaw walk was right.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Not paying JFM twenty one million dollars when he's a
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: rotational player in your defense was correct. I am highly
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: disappointed that they didn't do anything else. Just to be honest, Yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: I won an upgrade of some former fashion and I
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: should have known. The second free agency opens up and
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Alex Pierce gets eight billion dollars, I'm like, Okay, well,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: maybe it's gonna be pretty tough for somebody that was ridiculous.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna lie. A center gets paid.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: What did that center, Lindabaum get paid.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: He got twenty seventy years.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: He's the highest paid interior lineman in the history of football.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Do you know the last center that signed the richest
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: contract for a center in NFL history?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Who that was?
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Was this?
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: It?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: The Broncos center, Lord Kush it was the thing, Well
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: was it the lord?
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: When he went when he went to the tight correct
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say, but well he's gone now, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: then they caught him.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Yes, hey, you guys, guys, guys, hold on, pull everybody calm.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: I'm trying to be calm regarding free agency. I'll play
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: the moser.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Role in this segment.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Income this is me being calmed.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: Five teams Eagles, Broncos, Jaguar, Seahawks, Packers, Not a single
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: one of them signed an X Cherrier free agent, not one,
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: not one of them. You call, what are those five
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: teams have in common?
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: They're all in the playoffs, They're all very cood.
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: It's true, when you're really good and you have everything within,
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: you're fine.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: Do I want the Broncos to go get a playmaker
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: on offense? Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. Did I want them
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: to sign a running back yesterday?
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: They did one of their own.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: Hey, this is where I step in and I try
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: to walk a very tight tight rope because Vic's and
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: his feelings today a little bit, and so am I
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: because of the Nuggets last night. But this is where
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: I want to push back on Vick because Vic the
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Denver Broncos themselves.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I feel call me crazy.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: I feel like they walked a tight rope last season
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: to the number one seed.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Now that may sound crazy, that may sell were the
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: number one shade. I get that true though, but Sean
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Payton admitted it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: He goes, look, man, we're walking a razor's edge, nonscore
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: wins man.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: The quote was, I'm not naive enough to think that
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: these one score games can't flip boom.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: But what if they're more aggressive in the second phase
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: of free agency? What if they avoided the first phase,
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: the ridiculous money phase for a reason. I mean, come on,
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: we all know Alec Pierce is a good player, but
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: come on, it's Alec Pierce worth what he's going to
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: be making?
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Come on, No, but he's but he's back at his
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: own play fellas. Come on, you resign your own guy,
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Hold on, hold on, No, this isn't about Alec Pierce.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: That's not what I'm again, I'm not even upset. I'm
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: just I'd be lying if I said it wasn't disappointed.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: I'm disappointed paying you know, a running back eleven twelve
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: million dollars. You gave JK. Dobbins ten? Is giving Etn
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: thirteen really that much?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm talking about.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Is he tm better than JK. Dobbins.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Here's what's weird about JK Dobbins? And this is well, No,
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: before you go on, I'm gonna ask. I know, I'm
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: answering your question. I'm answering your question. Here's what's weird
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: about him.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: I think JK.
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Dobbins win healthy, is like a top six to seven
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: back in the league. I'm being dead serious. Do you
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: know how many he averages for his career? Five point
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: two yards per carry Barry Sanders average five Okay, five
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: point two is one of the best in NFL history.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: I don't think he can get on that list because
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: he doesn't. He doesn't have the volume for it. But
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: when he's healthy, he's really good. But we all know
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: the problem.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: He's not healthy, I agree, which is why you have
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: to add another running back. Right still, exactly, listen, I'm
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: not gonna go into a fetal position because you couldn't
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: sign Travis Etn.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And no point in my life did I say, oh
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: my god, the.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: Broncos are one Travis Etn away from being a dominant force.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: He's come on, people, we're getting to that point now
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: where every free agent name that comes around, that's the
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: missing piece.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Haven't we learned? Sometimes the missing piece is right in
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: front of you. Sometimes it's right. Sometimes what you think
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get is not what you're gonna get.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's not look at the Nuggets.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Here's my problem. I don't think Harvey's a guy. I
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: think if if you're bringing somebody in from college to
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: the pros, there's learning curves for everybody. Running back is
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: one of the only exceptions where it's like you get
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: in the league either you can play or you can't.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And RJ.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Harvey just couldn't do it last year. And maybe maybe
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: he's better this season or whatever. But if you're relying on, well,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: we'll find another one in the draft. I don't want
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: this situation to occur this year. What happened last year,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: which is top five running game in the league ten
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: games into the season, Dobbins gets hurt and it disappears
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: entirely vic.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: They also self admitted that Dobbins when he went out
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: that they didn't have a whole lot of confidence at
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: Harvey and that he's got to adjust the way he's
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: running the football. And I'm sure they'll continue to work
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: with him and work with him. But Brett's right in
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: this regard. Here's the games played in Dobbin's career fifteen,
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: all right, rookie eight, one, thirteen, ten. Yeah, and that
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: inlies the issue right there. And I like JK. Dobbins
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: a lot, and I'm glad that he's back because I
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: said it yesterday. Do I get any Street credit all
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: for that?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I said?
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: When I look at all these dudes, what's to stop
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: them from just resigning their own guy? Other than yeah,
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: the injury is a situation. But I mean, none of
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: these guys really better than JK. Dobbins running the football
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: for the Denver Broncos.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: But there's security problems. There's like, when he leaves the lineup,
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: do you have somebody else that you trust?
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: So you're saying no, Street gred, well.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: No, I said all along, they should bring him back.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: He's good. You should bring back good players, but you
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: need insurance.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: They need another running back, and that running back cannot
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: come from in house either. I know they signed Beday
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: and did they did they end up resigning Julia McLoughlin
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: as well.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Are they bringing a whole gang?
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: I didn't see that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: Okay, but Bedet's coming back. I you know, I think RJ.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Harvey a year removed will be better.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: How much better, I don't know. But you can't go
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: into camp. I need one more. I need somebody.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: And that's where my disappointment falls with yesterday. He's not
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Ali Pierce. It's again if they signed Algier. I don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: think Algiers this amazing running back, but he's a good
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: insurance option if you have to have one. And the
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: the unknown of guys in the draft is what scares me.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: If that's the route they want to take of like, hey,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: we'll find another one in the draft. I'm like, well,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: you just spent the sixty four overall pick on a
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: running back last year that you didn't trust at the
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: end of the season when you needed running game the most,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Like it's a snow globe. We're down three and you
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: couldn't run the football. And that's why you weren't in
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: the super Bowl, even with a backup quarterback. If they
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: had a running game, I bet they would have gotten there. Still,
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: So that's where the disappointment lies. It's I'm not freaking
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: out or anything. They still have Look, they could have
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: a trade lined up for some guy today. They could
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: change it in a hurry. But I'd be lying if
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: I said I wasn't a little disappointed.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: I understand your frustration most because if you took this
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: entire roster that finished one step away from the super Bowl,
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: and you could argue they should have been in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: super Bowl if not for freak injury. If you took
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: this entire roster, said play it back, they may win
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: nine games with the same roster.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: You never know, things could go the other way.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: You know. I've been talking a lot to national.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Hockey people right Internet International if you want to go
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: to Canada, We're talking a lot of hockey people like, oh,
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: haves a looking pretty good.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: Said, but you just never know, man, You just never
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: know if you're gonna get back there. It just never
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, things happen. The sports is weird. You just
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: never know. We can run it back. Sure, and there
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: are many players in the Broncos. I like many, But
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: is the defense gonna be that good again?
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Could be? Could not be?
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: I mean I just think that they they had some
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: things fall their way that I don't think, statistically speaking,
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: are necessarily gonna fall their way again. They're gonna have
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: to play their way back into the number one seed.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Kansas City obviously got better. They were six and eleven.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: They were crap, But you think they're gonna be crap forever.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: They just signed Walker to a humongous deal. But he's
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: a pretty damn good running back.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: But you don't here's the deal though. You don't make
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: change just for the sake of change. I get why
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: Bronco fans were disappointed yesterday. Yesterday was Christmas and you
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: didn't get a present. You're gonna be disappointed. That's what
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: yesterday was. Ye brothers and sisters. Everybody got to open
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: a present and you sat there. You know why, because
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: you opened yours two weeks earlier, like we used to do,
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: And now you got to sit there and watch them
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: enjoy all that splendor of opening that gift.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: And you got your.
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: Present two weeks ago because you were too damned selfish
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: to wait.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: No, Mom went into the garage, found your soccer ball
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: and wrap that up. Yeah, he gave it to you.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: They gave your older brother's clothes.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: But hey, here's Steve's jeans.
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: Listen, listen, they still have a ton of salary cap money.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: Has this franchise ever given you the impression that it's cheap? No,
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: has this franchise ever given you. With this new ownership
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: group and this new executive team, get give you the
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: impression that they're gonna take the easy way out on earth?
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: They give me So what makes you think just because
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: they didn't go get Alec Pierce for one hundred thousand million,
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: that they're suddenly going easy. They've got that they you
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: know what, they have my trust because they earned it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: They earned it. You earn my trust, George Peyton, Sean Payton, everybody,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: You earned it because you did something this year I
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: never expected.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: You to do.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: So you could say what you want. I'm gonna let
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: them make their decisions.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: I totally trust them. Okay, they have my complete and
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: whole trust. There's one area that they have not gone to,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: and it's exactly what we're talking about. And that's the
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: part that makes me just a little bit like hmm.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: They have invested, and they have spent money, and they
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: will continue to do so where they see fit. It's
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: always felt to me since Sean Payton got here. Sean
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Payton does not care so much about getting high end
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: skill position guys because he thinks his system is the
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: high end skill. They've spent money literally everywhere else. Offensive
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: line yep, defensive line, yeah, secondary quarterback. They've invested the
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: first round pick.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: In they will be spending money.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: They spent money to get rid of one. They have
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: never spent money or invested in wide receiver or running back.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Not big time brad anyway.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: And I think that a lot of that stems from
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Sean being like, if you just run my system the
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: way it has to be run, then we don't need
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: to spend thirty million on a wide receiver. I'm like, well,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: sometimes it's nice to have a guy who's worth thirty
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: million dollars at wide receiver.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes talent Trump's scheme.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah right, I think your system's great, Sean. It would
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: be really great if I had one of those Justin
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: Jefferson's in there, justin for.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Since don't grow on trees, bro, I mean, those those
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: guys are hard to find.
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: Round two, right, this is the secondary market. Yesterday was
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: the first one that was the one the big bucks Deebo,
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: Samuel Juan Jennings, Romeo Dobbs. Those are three receivers still available.
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: Dallas Goddard still available. Yeah, I mean the guys there,
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: I'm just giving you names.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: I just I saw what they did yesterday. They're like
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: Troutman's back, and so is Atkins, and so is Michael Burton,
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: and so is everybody else that plays that sort of role.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Whatever.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Vic. There's also one thing. I trust. You trust the
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Denver Broncos. I trust the Denver Broncos, Brett. You trust them.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I trust them. They'll spend the money they want to win.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: What do you think they're going to keep that money?
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: And no, no, no, no. But here's what else I trust.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: I trust that the Broncos are going to be playing
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: a first place schedule this year.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: And I trust that the rest of the National.
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: Football League is going to approach the Denver Broncos in
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: a much different way this year. They are going to
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: be looking at the Broncos as yeah, the number one seed,
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: a whisper away from the Super Bowl, and they are
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: going to act accordingly. It's gonna be tough, man, That's
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: all I'm saying is it's gonna be tough and You're right.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: They could be a nine win team. They could be
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: another fourteen win team again. But it's gonna be it's
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: going to be tough. They're going to face adversity again
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: and maybe even more significantly. I don't know, we'll see,
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: but it's going to be difficult.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Texter says Drew Brees only had one Pro Bowl receiver
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: during his time with the Saints. Well, then I hope
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: bo Nix is Drew Brees. Sometimes you need help.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: You guys are treating yesterday like it was a game.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: That's the issue.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, I've done this free agency thing every year
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: and every fan base does the same thing. You're keeping
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: scores if it's a game, and if you don't win
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: the game, suddenly you're a loser. It's not a game,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: it's a process. It's a stage in building a team,
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: and if you look at it that way, it's a
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: different outlook. Because you didn't win free agency doesn't mean
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: that you're done. It doesn't mean it's just one of
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: the stages. Calm down, Day one, free agency, Calm down.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: Hang on, hang on. I think you're you're not quite
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: getting the true feeling on this side of the table.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I'm not freaking out. The Broncos are a good football team.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: We all kind of knew it. The Broncos admitted as much.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Lakewold said running back is a must for this team
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: this offseason. And maybe there must was JK. Dobbins getting
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: him back. I don't know. But all I'm saying is
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: when I see a report from Chris thomasin yesterday, Hey,
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: the Broncos are interested in Kendrick Bourne, I'm not. That
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: does nothing for me. Okay, Kendrick Bourne's not moving the
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: needle with So let me.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: Get this straight, because you speak like every other football
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: fan that feels besmirched.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Today because they didn't get the players you want. You
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: feel like you lost.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: No, what do you mean? I lost?
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: Well because they didn't get players you wanted in free agency.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: I didn't even have specific players I would have loved
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: to have gotten Kenneth Walker. I thought Kenneth Walker was man.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: That would have been great.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: He went to the Chiefs.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: Does that mean automatically that the Chiefs are better than
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: the Broncos because they won the Kenneth Walker.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Der No, it means the Chiefs got better, though. They
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: definitely got better. And that's all I'm saying, Vic, like
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: the Chiefs got better yesterday. I don't even know if
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: the Broncos necessarily got better if you look at what
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: they brought back compared to what they lost. Jeffmser, I guess.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: What I'm telling you is get better is you got
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: to prove to me that you're better with these moves.
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: You got better on paper. I've seen teams get better
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: on paper and not better.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you're arguing with me, like I
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: get it that party understand. I think to say, Vic,
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: I'm disappointed by yesterday is not a huge stretch, that's all.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: That's all.
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: Disappointed because they didn't open any presents. That's why you're disappointed.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: You did, you didn't get to open any There.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Were names of running backs that I thought could have
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: made them better, and they didn't get any of them.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's not like they suck now or I
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: don't think.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: I'm here to tell you if they decide not to
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: add another running back to the party before camp, I'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: be there right there with you, saying, what what are
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: you doing? But they've got how many months before training camp?
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: See April May.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: June July fourth, So they still free agents available, they
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: have trades available, they have a draft in front of them.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: They have plenty of time to add other running.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: Backs to the party because they didn't do it on
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: day freaking won a free agency all hell.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: One, It's that the guys that are now gone after
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Day one, I don't see anybody left.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Everybody else, everybody else's three guys that meet your mark. Yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: everybody else is just kind of a guy.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Like, so, you mean to tell me that there are
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: only three running backs then game?
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: There's actually like four, Okay, it's like four.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying too, is that
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: everybody else is just the guy I.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: Wanted to bring all because the season, before the season,
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: everybody earmarked Kenneth Walker as the MVP of the Super Bowl.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Watched this guy.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: What are you arguing Kenneth Walker was a good back
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: before the start?
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: How do you know you can't go get another Kenneth Walker?
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I mean the.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Exist they could.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: No.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: No, I'm still holding out hope that maybe they got
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: a trade or something lined up. Again, this isn't me
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: saying this is over.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: These guys suck.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: I don't know what what you're perceiving from what I'm saying.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: All I said was a little disappointed from yesterday. I
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: wish they would have got a running back.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: That's all I said.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: But in all I'm saying is you're disappointed because you
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: didn't get to open any presents.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: That's the true disapoint.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Well, then stop looking in the closet.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Two weeks beforehand, reminder, the key word for this hour
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: is dink. So text that in your first and last
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: name to three oh three five four nine two five

• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Who is.

  Speaker 3: I mean like that?
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't like it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't like it.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: I whoever that is?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: We do have some obnoxious people doing those ads.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'll tell you my favorite guy. It's not who
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: you think it is. It's not I got a for you.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: It's not him.
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: But can I guess, Yeah, I guess it's if you
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: gotta get out of a term.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: Yes, Timeshare guy is my favorite guy. Hey, you got
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: a tom Share, you call me. I'll beat the hell
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: out of anybody tries to sell you another one. That
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: guy rules. You know what I'm talking about. Mos Timeshare
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: guy is cool. I want to out with Timeshare guy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: I've heard time Sure guy two hundred and fifty seven
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: thousand times in my life.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: I probably know his whole life story by now. What
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: you know?
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: You know somebody else life story too. Before you did
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: your Anastasia Bell read yesterday.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, we need to make that up. By the way,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: you over like two or three.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Nelliett comes up at eight.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: You get me laughing.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Don't do this, both of you. Eight thirty eight stop
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: stop it right, they get through it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: I pray to God the same thing happens. Get off
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: the bench, join the hall.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: You Helly's dad. Hey, there's no way that's a real voice.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: That's not possible. That's a dude. Yeah, that's a dude.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you something. Sure, the Raiders go out
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: and they just spent two hundred and eighty three million dollars.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I know what is what is up with that? Look?
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: That's what bad teams do. The vix point the teams
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: that didn't spend money yesterday are good teams, and usually
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: that indicates this, You've spent a bunch of money retaining
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: your own guys because you're good and you have to
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: pay your good players. You know, part of the reason
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: why JFM is leaving, and I don't think the Broncos
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: wanted him to. John Franklin Myers is a very good player,
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: but he's a rotational piece on this team. He's being
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: paid twenty one million dollars a year in Tennessee to
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: be the guy on that defensive line.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: Of course, but we've seen this.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: You could have called this in June of last year.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: Look around that defensive line and why John Franklin Myers
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: kept sending tweets out about like it wasn't so much anger,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: but he was talking about, Hey, I don't get a
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: contract still, but why why they love me? He looked
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: to his left and he goes, Zach Allen got paid.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: So did Jonathan Cooper. And he looked at it right
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: and he's like, Malcolm Roach got paid, and so did
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: Nick Bonito, and so did everybody else. I'm the only one.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: It's like, you could tell. Then they're like, we don't
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: have the cash for you, buddy, Sorry, go get it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: So he could feel decision. They made their decision. They
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: invested in other players. I'm not going to be as
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: bent out of shape on what they did in free agency.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: I'm just not going to be there. We have so
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: much to talk about.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: We do.
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: We hold on one second, though, Vic, I've got to
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: ask you, I wouldn't have paid Jalen Naylor three years
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: and thirty five million dollars twenty three guarantee you have
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: paid Alex Peers thirty million dollars agreed, Agreed, Although, I
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: mean he works well with Daniel Jones and he's a
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: homegrown guy there.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: That being said, the Raiders isn't Jerry Rice.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: The Raiders are gonna draft Mendoza. Yeah, they signed Naylor
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: away from Minnesota, although I mean.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: He was good but not great there yet Linderbaum to
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: have him have at a veteran.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Center, who's going to protect the gut all the time.
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: They signed Quitty pay, they signed Dean, they signed Walker.
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: They they really bolstered their defensive side knowing they're going
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: to get the number one and picking the draft and
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: a quarterback and signed.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: A wide receiver. I don't know, Listen, it.
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: May not work out at all and they probably overpaid
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: for every single guy, or at least maybe a little bit,
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: but damn it not standing Pat, I mean the ego
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: Fernando Kansas City got better. Chargers didn't really do Jack Squad.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: But I don't know, man, it's this. Do you VIC
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: worry about the rest of the division at all? Do
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: you pay attention to what anybody else is doing at all?
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: I'm not too worried about the Raiders, but I mean
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: Chiefs got better yesterday.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: Kenneth Walker is a big signing for them. I just
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: saw a graphic. Do you know who the Chiefs leading
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: rusher is since twenty eighteen?
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: It's Mahomes.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: He's ran for more yards than any other running back
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: in Kansas City.
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: Well, they've brought in running backs. They just can't see
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: m a stick. But it was right back after running
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: back after running back, and.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: They drafted them. They brought them in. They've done a
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: lot of different things.
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: It's not like they have no They have tried. But
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: that's how do we know Kenneth Walker is gonna stick
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: this again? I go back to the beginning of the season.
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: Kenneth Walker couldn't even keep his job in his own
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: on his own team.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: He was still their number one back VIC he was he.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Was it was a dual operation there. He wasn't their
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: number one back. Operation you know you're rewriting history. No
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: he wasn't. Yes he was. No, he wasn't.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: Vic It was a dual operation in Seattle all season long.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: It was a two back system. He was their number one.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: He was he has been.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, I wanted Kenneth Walker. Two things can be true.
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: I love his game, I love the way he runs.
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: I do, but to make him sound like the second
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: coming of you name the great running back Barry Sanders,
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: I mean, let's calm down a little bit.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: I don't know who's doing that. I don't know who's
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: saying that. I'm not, Oh I am, I'm just I
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: mean most I think you're with me on this. All
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: I wanted was somebody that's a little bit of insurance
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: for JK. Dobbins. I wanted JK. Dobbins back. They did that, sure,
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: and that's why I thought, like a guy like Algier
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: got six million dollars a year, but nothing that's a
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: drop in the buck.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: Agree, But let me go back, let me go back
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: to what Vick was saying, and let me prop pick
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: up here a little bit. The trust earned by this
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: front office in this franchise is big. It's a lot,
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: and I think that we should hang our hats on
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: that until they.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Prove us otherwise.
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: Now, if we get into the week nine of the
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: regular season and they're sitting there at four and five
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: and you're going, crap this offensive stage, he get any
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: skill players at all for this offense?
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: Look at them, they're jumped.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: Now, if we do that, fine, but I think they've
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: earned our trust to that point. Clearly, Davis Webb is
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: a guy that they feel is gonna call a good game.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: They've given him that duty. Maybe it'll be more dynamic
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: than it was before with the guys you got. I
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: guess I'm electing to be optimistic about this a little bit.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: You should be, though, I'm with you. I would like
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: to have more skill guys in there this. These guys
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: have earned it.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: They really have.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: Three oh three five four O nine two five still
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: plenty to talk about with this. Do you want to
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: get back to the Nuggets and question is this Are
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: the Nuggets still in your mind capable of competing for
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: a championship. We'll get to it next
