Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to Steve Atwater for joining us in the last
(00:01):
hour to state part of that.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You go to Broncos Country Night dot Com, slash podcast
or get podcast, Apple iTunes, Spotify, the free and redesigned
iHeart Radio, where the Take You for Granted podcast has
a limited number of days.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
To get this new episode up. I'm running out of time.
You are running out of time.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You know, I'm gonna like flame you if you don't
get this up by the other jay to break let
it dig up the old audio.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh seriously, though, we're waiting, Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Out to the Kwait commisper of Hotline and bring on
our guy, Parker Gabriel at Parker J. Gabriel on the
Twitter machine, Parker, are you doing, mam?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
What's going on? But Grant, can't you just make a podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Seriously, It's not like you have anything else to do,
like I'm working every day or anything. If you try
to keep this show afloat, Oh my goodness, that's a
lot of work. Yeah, more more than you know. He
has to ce Gi my voice for this whole show too.
I actually sound closer to Mickey mouse.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Parker.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's been an interesting couple of days. I I don't
know if I have gone from from wet blanket to
full on dry blanket as the leader of the Jarrett
Stidham charge here, but I, i of all people, feel
fairly confident that there's not going to be a precipitous
drop off from Bo Nicks to Jared Stidham. I understand
you'll lose a few things, the mobility, you know, the sacks,
(01:16):
that kind of thing, but you also get a guy
who's willing to hang in there and take some deeper shots.
What do you think about Jarrett Stidham And what do
you think about the possibility that maybe the Broncos might
be in line for a Super Bowl run here?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I don't think it's impossible. I might not be
quite as bullish as you, but but any hesitation that
I have, honestly is not so much about whether Jarrett Stidham,
like theoretically is capable of doing it. It's more just
like it's the AFC Championship Game. Even if it was
(01:49):
week six, I would be saying, hey, listen, you know
Bo's gonna miss a month with a high ankle sprain
or whatever. It would be like, I think they're going
to be fine, and it just is more a matter
of I'm not saying Jared can't do it. I just
I think it's more a question of does the moment
get to you, How are the nerves, does it take
a little time to settle in, do you make a
(02:10):
mistake and turn the ball over early? But listen, if
he if he kind of gets in rhythm and it
doesn't have to be a laser show. But if he
gets in rhythm early, and the stakes and the scene
and the fact that there's a Super Bowl trip on
the line, if that stuff doesn't bother him from the start,
it's probably not going to as the game goes along.
And if that's the case, yeah, I mean I think
all things considered, they'd be in pretty good hands.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I think it's it's interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I mean, if you think about it from a purely
paper perspective, Jared still might have won that competition last year.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Nick.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Obviously he was bothered at first by the result. And
I think that's why, because he saw the way he
played and obviously the growing pains that bo Knicks had
during his rookie camp.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, and I think that's I think it's the thing,
like you know, I remember and certainly people were mad
at me for saying it, where I was like, I
think Jared Steadham's winning this thing.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Obviously, bow was the first round draft pick, the hand
pick guy, and they you know, they saw the upside.
You know you've got to play him. But I thought
that maybe Stidham might get the first couple of games
of the season. I think he thought he might get
the first couple of games of the season. Uh, you
know that kind of thing, and a chance to maybe
put himself in line to be a starter somewhere. Could
this potentially be a springboard for Jared Stidham's career.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, certainly. I mean I think it's kind of funny
we're batting this idea around earlier today. I mean, if,
and it's a big if, but but if they win
two games here and they win the Super Bowl, Jared Sidham,
somebody is gonna come knocking on Denver's door and say like, hey,
I know the guy's under contract one more year, but
we gotta have them. You know that. That same with
(03:40):
Davis Webb, same with a lot of people in the organization. Probably,
But I just think this is an opportunity where one
of the things that is It will be a challenge
to some degree for Jared Sidam not to think about
is what it would mean for his career to win
one game, let alone to just in terms of how
(04:00):
he viewed around the league, the chance to show the
progress that he's made in the last three years under
Sean Payton, all of that ability to form on a
big stage. It could put him sort of like in
that quarterback market mix this offseason, except the fact that
like he's under contract next year, so the Broncos would
you know, potentially just field more interest in what it
(04:22):
might take to.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Get him that it would It's not like there's present
there's not precedent for that. I mean Nick Foles, look
at look at what Nick Foles was able to do.
So there's there's certainly there's certainly that out there. That said,
I think the other part of this is it may
force Sean Payton to do something that he doesn't want
to do, and that's hand the ball off, which may
make us more successful, especially if we get a certain
(04:43):
someone back this Sunday. I know they're going to test
it out this week, see where they're at. What is
your optimism level about JK Dobbins getting back in there
for the AFC Championship.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well muted, And I would say mostly because even if
he does play, it's just hard to imagine that it
will be more than a little bit, you know, like
maybe maybe it all goes great and that part of it.
I think I've seen you make mention of this bend,
and I really think it's true. Like we just don't
really know at this point, because you just we're gonna
have to see how and they're gonna have to see
(05:13):
how he gets through the practice week. But I it's
hard for me to imagine fourteen carries like it just
it really is. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I
just I don't know. It's a question of like, can
five touches be what gets you over the top on Sunday?
Maybe if they're in the right spot or if you
make a big play or whatever. But I just I
(05:34):
could be proven wrong on this. I'd be happy to
be wrong about it. I just think the bigger impact
for Dobbins lines up to be in a potential super
Bowl rather than this Sunday. But man, it would just
be a heck of a story if he was out there,
you know, playing thirty percent of the snatch or something
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh yeah, I completely agree with you there. I think
that is the thing, is like, because I keep getting
asked and I'm like, I don't know, man, he hasn't
practice yet. We don't know, we don't know how sore
it's gonna be. We don't know, you know how what
the performance is on it. So I think that's that's
kind of the thing. And I'm like, there's cautious optimism
with the team, but you know, I'm certainly not not
rolling the dice, you know, getting that third mortgage and
(06:11):
laying out a wager on him playing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
As far as that kind of stuff goes.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
On the other side of the house, Broncos give up
their most rushing yards they've given up all year.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, it's Buffalo kind of expect that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That wasn't even like their top six rushing performances on
the season. But fans a little concerned about the defense
leaking oil, specifically in the run game.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Late in the season.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You got a Patriots team that's got a great one
two punch in Remondre Stevenson treviont Henderson. What do we
think about the defense who did also get five turnovers
despite the fact that they gave up one hundred and
eighty yards on the ground.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, it's kind of funny because Sean Payton was like,
sax felt matter, we need takeaways, and then they got
a bunch of takeaways and won a game largely because
of the takeaways. And now that's sort of the handwringing about,
well what about the other stuff? And yeah, I mean,
they gave up a lot of yards to Buffalo, they
gave up a ton of first downs and all of that.
But at the end of the day, like they played
(07:03):
okay in the red zone and they took the ball
away five times. The real thing, like the one hundred
and eighty three yards or the one seventeen for James Cook,
doesn't like you can survive that. I think you can
survive Remandre Stevenson and Treyvon Henderson having one hundred and
forty combined over the course of the game as long
(07:26):
as you're not also giving up ten or fifteen out
there down again eleven of sixteen overall third and fourth
down like you teams can if you're running the ball
in the middle of the field, that's okay, you know, yeah,
up and down, But it comes down to the same things.
It always comes down to third down, red zone and
do you take the ball away? And the Broncos really
only did one of those things really well against Buffalo,
(07:47):
but they just they got five so they got away
with it. To me, it's like more about those sort
of situational you know, numbers and performance in those key
areas than whether New England has you know, ninety yards
or one hundred and thirty on the ground.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ty would Parker Gabriel at Parker J. Gabriel on Twitter.
The Broncos bring back Ben Denucci, they bring back Brandon Johnson.
Is there anybody else from from from twenty twenty three?
We want to go out there and get put the
band back together? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Are there? I was wondering if there are any other
quarterbacks from that year that might be out there looking
for a job. Kidding, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Well let's see we could you know, I wonder we
could call up most of the people are still around.
Greg Golfitz she you know, he kind of touched on
late in Miami. So no, I mean, it is funny, like,
but this is the Sean Payton thing, and people have
asked about any number of you know, quarterbacks or just
(08:48):
players over the course of the season, and Sean you know,
I think sort of hilariously catches a lot of flak
for the New Orleans thing and all of that. But
like first comes to shove, when they need to add
a player, they oftentimes are going to prioritize familiarity over
someone who is very slightly more talented or accomplished. Like,
(09:11):
obviously there's a limit to that. You want to always
add talent and be getting better. But bringing in any
other quarterback or receiver this week, just who what good
is it going to do you if they don't know
the system and they have four days to try to
pick it up or whatever. At least, like if they
needed Brandon Johnson to go in the game, at least
he knows what he's doing to some degree. So Brandon
(09:35):
Johnson also just a seemingly nice dude. I have always
enjoyed covering him, so be interesting to catch up with
him this week. But yeah, he and the Nucci familiar faces.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Obviously they are.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Before they signed to Ducci, I said that the Broncos
have a chance to do the funniest thing ever for
the emergency thirty quarterback and bring Kendall hitting back, which,
by the way, is the opposing coach in that game
was Sean Payton.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, so I talked about several times. You know, he
always talked about being scared out of his mind on
the plane coming up to Denver because you just don't
know what you're good. He's like, you'd rather have a
game where you sort of know what it's going to
look like than something that weird. Obviously they were in.
They were in. No you know, there's no threat of
New Orleans losing that game.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Right right, just just a chance to do the most
hilarious thing though for the emergency quarterback, you know, especially
for an AFC championship or a Super Bowl. But in
the end they go out get BENDINUCI. You know, we
talked about the New Orleans connection there. There's there's a
potential for an exodus of a lot of coaches this offseason,
Davis web One you mentioned already. You know, Vance Joseph
is in the running for a lot of these head
(10:36):
coach spots, specifically Arizona, UH and then you've you know
Jim Leonard, who's in the running for a lot of
these defensive coordinator jobs in addition to Denver, there's a
possibility we lose all three and then you're looking.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
For somebody on defense.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The idea has been floated out there about Dennis Allen,
the defensive coordinator of the Bears, maybe maybe doing the
first coordinator trade in NFL history. What do you think
about that and what other names did you think would
possibly be in the mix there.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah, it's funny, we were talking about that the other day.
I just you know the thing, it's like advanced Joseph
gets the head coaching job, obviously, you get the you know,
a third round picking each of the next two drafts,
and if you win the Super Bowl, maybe you know
Stidham's commanding of picking off that and you could just
imagine Sean saying, hey, listen, we got the extra Ammo,
We're going to go trade for for Dennis Allen. I
(11:23):
you know, there's a lot of names out there. It
would depend on sort of what you're you know, what
you're in the market for. We'll see. I mean there's
guys that there's guys that are accomplished, obviously, like Sean's
been complimentary of a guy like Raheem Morris before he
you know, he could end up in Green Bay. Obviously
he's really close with with Matt Lafleur and that that
kind of tree. There. There's gonna be options, I think,
(11:46):
And that's one of the things like sometimes when you're
playing to the end, there's just a lot of uh,
there's a lot of consternation about other teams not being
able to interview your coaches, or you behind on hiring candidate.
It's all of that. Like I just I don't know that.
It always seems like it sort of shakes out, so
I'd be interested, Like it's a little bit of a
different style, different front. But you know, there's a there's
(12:09):
a Jonathan Gannon, like Sean was complimentary of his defensive
chops this summer, even though he tripped on his way
up to the podium before that practice. So yeah, I mean,
you've got you've got options, and we'll see just how
how far the exodus goes. But I'm with you, I
think it's had a chance to be substantial.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, does Parker last one for you here?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Because it's the last chance I get to talk to
you on the air before the game.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm I'm pretty bullish.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I'm predicting a Denver win against the New England Patriots.
What's your confidence level going into this one.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Yeah, I'd say it's higher than I thought it was
going to be in the hours after bo Nix got hurt.
I just it's one of those games where the defense
has a chance to put it on their shoulders. And
that's not to say Stidham's incapable or anything like that.
I just think it's like, I don't know if you
can get two, but I know, like in hoops and
(13:03):
another sports, when you have a key player get hurt,
guys rally around and normally the first one looks pretty good.
And I think, just on that principle alone, to say
nothing of the fact that I don't think they match
up all that poorly and all that all of this
other stuff, Like, I just think I'm that principle alone,
there's going to be a lot of you know, get
one for bo, let's figure out a way to get
(13:25):
this one, and I just the home field advantage, all
the other stuff that goes into it. I just I
don't know, it's sort of a toss up to me,
which if you're saying toss up playing without your starting
quarterback in the SEC championship game.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That seems pretty good that it does. Parker Gabriel at
Parker J. Gabriel The Denver Post appreciates as always, brother, Yeah,
all right, take care, park Gabriel The Denver Post. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It's it's just a weird spot for me to be
in where I'm I'm not saying I'm sitting here the
full head of steam confidence in a Broncos win, but
I kind of I'm not sweat it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm not sitting here. This isn't like Buffalo or I
was like, man, I don't know, I don't know how
we're gonna pull this out.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I believe they can win this, and for whatever reason,
all the weirdo's on social media they hate me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You're like, oh, this is a slight to bow Nicks.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It hates Bow because he's pumping Jarrett's Stidham up, which
of course is stupid. But I mean, like, Jarrett Stidham
is actually not that big a drop off.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's not a knock on Bow. That's a plus on
Jarrett Stidham.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
He doesn't have the mobility Bow does, and he doesn't
get rid of his quick he'll take more sacks, but
he also hangs in there, he steps up in the pocket,
he'll make big throws. Go back and watch the Raiders
tape when he quarterbacked against the San Francisco forty nine ers,
and remember that the Niners with a number one defense
in the league that year.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Go back and look at the preseason tape on Jarrett Sidham.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Look at him dissecting you making those big, big deep
throws that he's making in those games rather than than
dumping it down all the time. And again, I'm not
trying to knock bow by saying that, but Bo does
have some some things about him. Mean, he kind of
has that hyper sped up clock, wants to get rid
of it quick, and so that's sort of the trap
that he falls into at times, is that maybe he
(15:02):
doesn't let some plays develop down the field.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Like you should. I also think that Jared's got a
better deep ball and more accurate deeple.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I'm feeling weirdly confident as well. Like I think it
would be a different story if you were facing that
Texans defense who'll get after the quarterback like crazy with
only four But the fact that we're playing the Patriots, who,
like you said earlier, have not really beaten anybody other
than the Texans last week on their schedule this year.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I think.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I mean, this is why you kept a guy like
jareded Stidham was for a situation like this. If you're
getting into a big game, it's not going to be
too big for him, and he's going to be ready.
That's the reason you have a quality backup on your
roster behind bo Nicks. And I think I think they
really could pull it out. I think it helps a
lot that the game is at home. I think that's
a huge deal. But I think they could go out
(15:53):
and win this game. I really do. I believe it too.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I and you know, in the interest of full disclosure, right,
I don't believe. I don't believe either team can beat
either team from the NFC. I think see I think
you can well. I think you could very much see
a Broncos Seattle rematch. I think it is very much
in play, and I think we I think we probably
ge smoked. That Seattle team is something else. We'll talk
(16:17):
about that this game first. That's me with this game first,
not to look too far ahead. We'll talk a little
bit more about that Broncos country. Now we get hit
a break we'll be back. I gonna do uh an
abbreviated NFL sex back here in just a just a moment,
but we're gonna do a weekend recap here.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
A rewind if you will rewind, I should have said rewind.
I knew I got the wrong word there.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Starting with the Rams taking down the Chicago Bears fourth
down and.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Four fourteen of the Rams makes a shotgun. Staff goes
back for four man rush. He's chased, he's pushed, he's
holding the way back to the porta. He's back pedaling
and throws the pass and truck stop touchdown.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Chicago's got a touchdown.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Pass let hole come in open in the corner. If
you hadn't seen it, you will not believe it's shotgunsnap.
It's a four man rush. William six looks there's a
long Passchalvaner's side. Then it's kicked off on a dive
in the twenty two on a time by cam col
(17:24):
Talvianer's sideline. Another interception of Williams.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
W wanna play forty two yard trive with the wind
in his back.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
The snap is good, the ball is down, the kickers away,
the kick is god.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
End of the end.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
The Rams are going to Championship weekend.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
The legendary Kevin Harlan on the call and the thicker
kicker sending the Rams to the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, I on the Harland on the call, SA if
you didn't see it, you you wouldn't believe it. Well,
I did see it, and I almost didn't believe it.
It was kind of funny. You look at the faces
of the coaches on the sideline there, you would have
thought it was the other coaches player that actually did
at Ben Johnson was there, stone face looking like he
had just h smelled somebody and ripped one.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And and Sean McVay was over there.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
With jenuine shock and surprise, like did I just see
that happen?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You know it was?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
It was a phenomenal throw.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Reminds you ryding me of a Russ making that Courtland
Sutton throw up there in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You know, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It was just it was just a phenomenal, phenomenal throw
by Kayleb Williams. Alsotly the Bears lose, but Ben Johnson's
first year pretty much you got to consider that a success.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
There in Chicago, Rams move on and it's an all
NFC West NFC championship.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No surprise there, yeah, no, no real surprise there.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
And then we had, of course, the Patriots taken down
the Texans in large part into CJ.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Stroud struggles. Stroud under center against the blitz.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Today's three or four with his touchdown without a blitz
five pro eleven play fake go to the near left.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
He is, hey, is he problems a dig duck that
is kicked up?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Here's twenty five, twenty five.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Tough time to liter the sas no arcas Jones.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Stroud out of the gun play fake to march roll
into his left. He puts dangers off second brought in
Tod Davis fo he brought a tight to her shoulder
pad and he settled at.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Clean before he went out of Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Another critical giveaway for Stroud.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Blitz comes near side May feeling it, he steps into way.
He swings a deep rite one on one to the
end to.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Touchdown Patriots by bray Man swit Stingley walk in the
pants up them.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Me too, yard touchdown strike me another bet left thee
and that's it. They spill out on the field. They're
gonna party in Boston. The new England Patriots. The last
time they went worst to first, they won the Super Bowl.
They're onto the AFC Championship.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
John Saddock with West one one on the calls, and
hopefully the partying ends in New England after this weekend.
They'll be taking on the Broncos and in power Field
at Mile High on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But that they will, and I'm kind of glad we
got New England in stead of Houston. Houston I think
would have been a much tougher opponent, even with C. J.
Stroud's playoffs struggles. Four interceptions in that game, took three sacks,
look shell shock the whole game what he marks.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Fumbled away as well.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
On the Patriots side of things, Drake May had the
interception of four fumbles of his own, losing two of them.
So not exactly the best day for any quarterbacks. Out
of all that, the Patriots were able to get the
ground game going with overshot vermondra excuse me, Stevenson sixteen
carries seventy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yards and he had four catches for eleven as well.
His big weapon for them, Booty's the one. You gotta
watch out four though, man a lot of catch he
made on that touchdown. Yeah he is.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
He's somebody you got to watch out for there in
New England. His catches tend to always go for first downs,
highly successful when they do throwing the ball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Stiggs and Stephan Diggs and Hunter and Henry of the primaries.
But he's the next option there in New England.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, And seemed like there were no options for success
for the San Francisco forty nine ers on Saturday night.
Started with the kick off and was all downhill from there.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
And we are.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Underway in Seattle.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Rashid Shaheed drifting to his right, He'll feel the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Of the four Shaky to the fifteen, across the twenty
guers left to the twenty final hole to thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Step two at tackle.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
The forty stumbles across midfield, down the right sideline.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Of the thirty Shahey to the twenty. He's all the
way home. A Seattle touchdown.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
On the opening kickoff, six nothing.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Seahawks second in goal, barner in motion, Donald under center
play action, rolls to the left, Darnald looking at the
end zone.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Pressure coming late, throws back.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Of the in zone in the corner.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Jackson Smith then Chickma with a dive in two hand
catch for six.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The Niners do not have to snap it again, and
they will not. The Seahawks are superb in.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
Seattle, total dominance in a forty one to six win
over San Francisco. The NFC Championship game is in Seattle.
The road to Super Bowl sixty will stay through the
Pacific Northwest in the NFC.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Kevin Coogler of Westwood one on the call, and like
he said, certainly superb in Seattle, and man, they look.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Like a juggernaut right now.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, but if you're you know, you're counting on Charbonna,
you might need a Chardonnay. Is looks like he's done
for the year, obviously, So Kenth Walker will have to
take the rest loads going forward.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Certainly did in that game.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nineteen carries, one hundred and sixty and three rushing touchdowns.
Sam Darld didn't have to do much anything between the
special teams in the ground game.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
The Niners, on the other hand, couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
One hundred and forty passing yards at a pick for
Rock Party, eleven carries for thirty five yards for Christian
McCaffrey toan just was their leading receiver at fifty nine
yards he.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Had a fumble loss.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
He was just a disaster class for the San Francisco
forty Niners. As the Seattle Sea Chickens continue to cruise
on into the NFC Championship, and of course the first.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Game of the weekend when we remember well here in Denver,
the Broncos beating the Bills and overtime.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Nixon's under sooner Bo with a Playthache rolls to his right,
dumps it in the flat, pick Frank Crown.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
With the catch and a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Denver had a boy, Frank Frank Crumb, the second year
tackle out of Wyoming Huple, who head out on their
Bengo card. Frank Crumb breaks conteam out over the thirty
runs out of the thirty five out of.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
The forty, he fumbles the ball. The ball is free, Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Recovered, Nest still free and Denver's got it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
With two seconds to go in.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
The half, Phil's rush five fall in the pocket hit
as he froze, throws, the ball fades deep corner, Tad touchdown,
Marvin Mimes.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Twenty six yards strike. Oo nicks to Marvin.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Mems who's still down deep ball down the field.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The ball is intercepting a Kwon McMillen.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh my goodness, the Bill sideline thought that Brandon Cooks
had it. K Kwan took it away from him. Both
players went airborne snap placement, kick on the way.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And Denver's going to the FC Championship game.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Let's from twenty four yards out in an epic battle
from at power field at mile high. The Broncos have
climbed higher and they have found a way to win again,
coming from behind.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
They beat the Buffalo Bills this afternoon, thirty three to thirty.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Dave Logan, Rick Lewis and those calls courtesy of us
KWA Broncos Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What a fun game to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was Marvin Mims, the leading receiver for the playoffs
in that round or that round of playoffs, eight catches
ninety three yards in a touchdown called all eat of
his tar.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's five of them went for first downs.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And as we've been talking about the show for several months, hey,
maybe we remember we got a Marvin Mims out there.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
He can he can do good things with that. Let's
get to an abbreviate in an NFL six pack. It's
time for the NFL six pack.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
I'm gonna trade here insighted insight information you can't find
anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
No. Six the top six NFL headline.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
What Mike McDaniel withdrawal from Brown's coaching search raises obvious
questions and the answers.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
May be clearer than we thought. Where do you think
Mike McDaniels ends up.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, it's uh, Mike McDaniel will end up as the
offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Charges.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We held out of that one a little bit. We've
known about it for about a half hour. We had
a lot of for the for the six pack.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Mike McDaniel will be the OC of the charge, pending
uh that he doesn't get the Ravens or Raiders gigs.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But I will tell you he's not the favorite for
the one.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
But he's still in play those two head coaching jobs,
but he is going to take the offensive coordinating job
with the LLI Chargers. And man, it's kind of interesting
because everybody had those too, justin Herbert comparisons.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well, now you've got to coordinate it. It's going from
one to the other. Also, by the way, I.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Mean, Mike McDaniel getting getting to have that that one
two punch with O Marion Hampton to come ony with
dow Man. It's Chargers. I'm telling you, they get that
offensive line healthy. I'm sweating next year.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Let's hope he takes one of those head coaching jobs.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
If he said, yeah, well hope, I don't think he's
going hope one of them is the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's better than him as the OC with Harball with
the Chargers. Do you want him? You really want him
coordinated Ashton Chanty. It's not like it's solos. I appreciate
it's better too well.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
And if he took that Raiders job, he could end
up coaching the Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza. Indiana Kurt Signetti
and Fernando Mendoza bring home the perfect season sixteen to
zero and win the College Football Playoff National Championship. Did
you think Miami had a chance in that game? It
was closer than I think, but Indiana found a way
to win in the end.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, I'm you know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The worries that I had were what played themselves out
in the end. And that was the liability for Miami
was the quarterback Carson Beck. He wound up throwing that
interception there at the end, and in that seal that
I thought, you know, Miami, it felt like there were
some times they were a little bit more worried about
being physical than actually trying to win that football game.
On the offensive side. I wish they would have done
(27:24):
There's a few things they could have done better.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I think we all had.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I had picked Indiana and they showed me the money,
and I believe they would win. Yeah, Mendoza run was
awkward looking, but somehow managed to find the end zone.
It was kind of like watch you remember watching Drew
Locke run where you like, it looks like a wood
at giraffe out there, but you would get yardage.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You got the job done, got the job done at
the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So somebody was trying to say it was the most
iconic run in college football history. I'm like, bro, do
you don't even remember the Rose Bowl with Vince Young?
Just I mean, I'm honestly doing here, That's not even
the most iconic play in the last decade, let alone,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Ever, So people short memories.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Three someone who does not have a short memory, Baker
Mayfield spicing up the Bucks Falcons rivalry as Kevin Sefanski
was just hired as the Falcons next head coach started
when deal Orlando led Better of the Atlanta Journal Constitution
posted a surprisingly aggressive tweet Falcons coach Kevin Sefanski had
(28:21):
a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield and
Deshaun Watson failed, which started a chain reaction to eleven
other starters. Mayfield saw it and responded failed is quite
the reach.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Fal still waiting on a.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Text call from Stefanski after I got shipped off like
a piece of garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. If
you like this comment from Baker Mayfield, I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, I do too, And he's not wrong. I mean,
you know, he kind of got run out of there.
There are some There was some you know, Baker wasn't
entirely immune to criticism for that, but you know, I
mean it's one of those things that I think we
talked about people finding way used to create motivation or whatever,
and I think Baker's doing Baker things with that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Normally, I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I would if I got let go from somewhere, I
would expect everybody there.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
To kiss the ring on the way out. You know,
I'm gone from there. Cool, But the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, I mean he did get Baker got done dirty
by the Browns. So fair having Stefanski in the division.
If that's what you need to motivate yourself, get yourself
up for that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The Bucks are going to need that with a redone
coaching lineup this this coming year.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Or Joe Burrow says the officials got the calls right,
but people don't understand what he catches. His retirement from
Twitter has officially been ended. He doesn't tweet much, but
he came out and said that the amount of people
that don't understand what he catches and the Roebuck flabbergasted me.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And it's not the officials.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls and they
got both of them right.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Do you agree with Joe Burrow? Of course you did.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Well.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, it's not even quarterback in the NFL, I
would say.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And how about Joe coming out of retirement from Twitter
year to come out and call everybody stupid for trying
to pretend that one Yeah, both were officiated correctly, the
two weren't the same thing. And I had I've wasted
so much of my life trying to explain this to
people on.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Twitter.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
When you're a receiver, you have to complete the process
of the catch. That's that's for the rest of those
conditions don't come into play. The going to the ground
fifty to fifty, know that it can't be a fifty
to fifty fall if there's no complete catch. Going to
the graph, can't go to the graph there's not a
completed catch.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So with the Cooks thing, you have to complete the
process of the catch first.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It theoretically or fundamentally, it's the same as the ball
being batted around in the air. It's still a live ball,
which is why Jake Quaan McMillan was able to just
kind of grab the ball off the top of him
and then go, uh, you know, get the interception. It
was a correct call. It was officiated correctly, and then
the call in the Rams game was a little bit different.
He had secured the process of the catch with the
need down. So to me, it's it's fascinating to watch,
(30:59):
you know, people don't know what they're talking about, wolfing
and pretending because you get that all the time. I
got a guyut of the text line right now that's pretended.
Neil's what he's talking about and the head of block
him he love, Yeah, I know, apparently I had to blocking.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Uh, you know it. Guy's an idiot. He doesn't know
what he's talking about, and that's that's what happens. And
so you get this.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
You get this sometimes from people that get the bridges,
you know, all twisted up thinking they know things they don't,
and that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
What an idiot? Oh what a loser? Five your boy?
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has completed his interview
with the Cowboys hear Josina Anderson, and now he's on
a flight to the Packers. Where do you think Jonathan
Gannon ends up next year? And mostly most likely as
a DC somewhere right.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I think it'll be one of those.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Two jobs we'll see, you know, Jim Leonard and John
Gannon very much in play for the Dallas jobs. John's
got friends up there some of these other places, so
I think it'll be.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
One of those two. We'll kind of see you again.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
There's still some musical chairs shuffling going around with some
of these head coaching hires, so I don't exactly know
where he's gonna land yet, but I believe those two
are very much in play.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Would be surprised with either one of those two.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Six.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Patriots owner Robert Kraft earlier today on ninety eight point
five the Sports Hub said that they he thinks that
they will be going to an eighteen game season sooner
rather than later, said, I want to tell you guys
that we're going to push like the Dickens now to
make international games more important with us. Every team will
go to eighteen regular season games and two preseason games
(32:32):
and eliminate one of the preseason games, and every team
every year will play one game overseas.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
How soon do you think this could actually happen the
next CBA? That's what they've been gunning for this whole time.
There was a whole impetus by going to seventeen games
and getting the players to give up a.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Few things like the weed testing and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
The impetus was to store to steer towards the eighteen
game season with two preseason games, an international game every year,
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
We've known.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I mean, this is not new news.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We knew that was coming since what twenty seventeen, I
think it was twenty sixteen. We've we've kind of known
that this was the direction they always wanted to go,
and they're gonna get that, and that additional game will
allow them to jack up the broadcasting contracts and that
you know, they add additional game, get more money out
of that, which is by far the biggest revenue that
the NFL gets, And so that's that's going to be
(33:24):
the plan.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
As far as the rest of that goes and spoil overt,
they're going to get it past when's the CBA UP,
I think twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
They've got some broadcasting deals that got to opt out
of first, and you know, there's there's some mechanisms to
all that, but at the end of the day, that's
where that's headed.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Broccos Country Tonight, get a break. We'll be back.
Thanks to Steve Atwater for joining us in the last
(00:01):
hour to state part of that.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You go to Broncos Country Night dot Com, slash podcast
or get podcast, Apple iTunes, Spotify, the free and redesigned
iHeart Radio, where the Take You for Granted podcast has
a limited number of days.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
To get this new episode up. I'm running out of time.
You are running out of time.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
You know, I'm gonna like flame you if you don't
get this up by the other jay to break let
it dig up the old audio.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh seriously, though, we're waiting, Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Out to the Kwait commisper of Hotline and bring on
our guy, Parker Gabriel at Parker J. Gabriel on the
Twitter machine, Parker, are you doing, mam?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
What's going on? But Grant, can't you just make a podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Seriously, It's not like you have anything else to do,
like I'm working every day or anything. If you try
to keep this show afloat, Oh my goodness, that's a
lot of work. Yeah, more more than you know. He
has to ce Gi my voice for this whole show too.
I actually sound closer to Mickey mouse.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Parker.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It's been an interesting couple of days. I I don't
know if I have gone from from wet blanket to
full on dry blanket as the leader of the Jarrett
Stidham charge here, but I, i of all people, feel
fairly confident that there's not going to be a precipitous
drop off from Bo Nicks to Jared Stidham. I understand
you'll lose a few things, the mobility, you know, the sacks,
(01:16):
that kind of thing, but you also get a guy
who's willing to hang in there and take some deeper shots.
What do you think about Jarrett Stidham And what do
you think about the possibility that maybe the Broncos might
be in line for a Super Bowl run here?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, I don't think it's impossible. I might not be
quite as bullish as you, but but any hesitation that
I have, honestly is not so much about whether Jarrett Stidham,
like theoretically is capable of doing it. It's more just
like it's the AFC Championship Game. Even if it was
(01:49):
week six, I would be saying, hey, listen, you know
Bo's gonna miss a month with a high ankle sprain
or whatever. It would be like, I think they're going
to be fine, and it just is more a matter
of I'm not saying Jared can't do it. I just
I think it's more a question of does the moment
get to you, How are the nerves, does it take
a little time to settle in, do you make a
(02:10):
mistake and turn the ball over early? But listen, if
he if he kind of gets in rhythm and it
doesn't have to be a laser show. But if he
gets in rhythm early, and the stakes and the scene
and the fact that there's a Super Bowl trip on
the line, if that stuff doesn't bother him from the start,
it's probably not going to as the game goes along.
And if that's the case, yeah, I mean I think
all things considered, they'd be in pretty good hands.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I think it's it's interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I mean, if you think about it from a purely
paper perspective, Jared still might have won that competition last year.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Nick.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Obviously he was bothered at first by the result. And
I think that's why, because he saw the way he
played and obviously the growing pains that bo Knicks had
during his rookie camp.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, and I think that's I think it's the thing,
like you know, I remember and certainly people were mad
at me for saying it, where I was like, I
think Jared Steadham's winning this thing.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Obviously, bow was the first round draft pick, the hand
pick guy, and they you know, they saw the upside.
You know you've got to play him. But I thought
that maybe Stidham might get the first couple of games
of the season. I think he thought he might get
the first couple of games of the season. Uh, you
know that kind of thing, and a chance to maybe
put himself in line to be a starter somewhere. Could
this potentially be a springboard for Jared Stidham's career.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, certainly. I mean I think it's kind of funny
we're batting this idea around earlier today. I mean, if,
and it's a big if, but but if they win
two games here and they win the Super Bowl, Jared Sidham,
somebody is gonna come knocking on Denver's door and say like, hey,
I know the guy's under contract one more year, but
we gotta have them. You know that. That same with
(03:40):
Davis Webb, same with a lot of people in the organization. Probably,
But I just think this is an opportunity where one
of the things that is It will be a challenge
to some degree for Jared Sidam not to think about
is what it would mean for his career to win
one game, let alone to just in terms of how
(04:00):
he viewed around the league, the chance to show the
progress that he's made in the last three years under
Sean Payton, all of that ability to form on a
big stage. It could put him sort of like in
that quarterback market mix this offseason, except the fact that
like he's under contract next year, so the Broncos would
you know, potentially just field more interest in what it
(04:22):
might take to.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Get him that it would It's not like there's present
there's not precedent for that. I mean Nick Foles, look
at look at what Nick Foles was able to do.
So there's there's certainly there's certainly that out there. That said,
I think the other part of this is it may
force Sean Payton to do something that he doesn't want
to do, and that's hand the ball off, which may
make us more successful, especially if we get a certain
(04:43):
someone back this Sunday. I know they're going to test
it out this week, see where they're at. What is
your optimism level about JK Dobbins getting back in there
for the AFC Championship.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well muted, And I would say mostly because even if
he does play, it's just hard to imagine that it
will be more than a little bit, you know, like
maybe maybe it all goes great and that part of it.
I think I've seen you make mention of this bend,
and I really think it's true. Like we just don't
really know at this point, because you just we're gonna
have to see how and they're gonna have to see
(05:13):
how he gets through the practice week. But I it's
hard for me to imagine fourteen carries like it just
it really is. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I
just I don't know. It's a question of like, can
five touches be what gets you over the top on Sunday?
Maybe if they're in the right spot or if you
make a big play or whatever. But I just I
(05:34):
could be proven wrong on this. I'd be happy to
be wrong about it. I just think the bigger impact
for Dobbins lines up to be in a potential super
Bowl rather than this Sunday. But man, it would just
be a heck of a story if he was out there,
you know, playing thirty percent of the snatch or something
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh yeah, I completely agree with you there. I think
that is the thing, is like, because I keep getting
asked and I'm like, I don't know, man, he hasn't
practice yet. We don't know, we don't know how sore
it's gonna be. We don't know, you know how what
the performance is on it. So I think that's that's
kind of the thing. And I'm like, there's cautious optimism
with the team, but you know, I'm certainly not not
rolling the dice, you know, getting that third mortgage and
(06:11):
laying out a wager on him playing.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
As far as that kind of stuff goes.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
On the other side of the house, Broncos give up
their most rushing yards they've given up all year.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, it's Buffalo kind of expect that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That wasn't even like their top six rushing performances on
the season. But fans a little concerned about the defense
leaking oil, specifically in the run game.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Late in the season.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
You got a Patriots team that's got a great one
two punch in Remondre Stevenson treviont Henderson. What do we
think about the defense who did also get five turnovers
despite the fact that they gave up one hundred and
eighty yards on the ground.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, it's kind of funny because Sean Payton was like,
sax felt matter, we need takeaways, and then they got
a bunch of takeaways and won a game largely because
of the takeaways. And now that's sort of the handwringing about,
well what about the other stuff? And yeah, I mean,
they gave up a lot of yards to Buffalo, they
gave up a ton of first downs and all of that.
But at the end of the day, like they played
(07:03):
okay in the red zone and they took the ball
away five times. The real thing, like the one hundred
and eighty three yards or the one seventeen for James Cook,
doesn't like you can survive that. I think you can
survive Remandre Stevenson and Treyvon Henderson having one hundred and
forty combined over the course of the game as long
(07:26):
as you're not also giving up ten or fifteen out
there down again eleven of sixteen overall third and fourth
down like you teams can if you're running the ball
in the middle of the field, that's okay, you know, yeah,
up and down, But it comes down to the same things.
It always comes down to third down, red zone and
do you take the ball away? And the Broncos really
only did one of those things really well against Buffalo,
(07:47):
but they just they got five so they got away
with it. To me, it's like more about those sort
of situational you know, numbers and performance in those key
areas than whether New England has you know, ninety yards
or one hundred and thirty on the ground.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Ty would Parker Gabriel at Parker J. Gabriel on Twitter.
The Broncos bring back Ben Denucci, they bring back Brandon Johnson.
Is there anybody else from from from twenty twenty three?
We want to go out there and get put the
band back together? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Are there? I was wondering if there are any other
quarterbacks from that year that might be out there looking
for a job. Kidding, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Well let's see we could you know, I wonder we
could call up most of the people are still around.
Greg Golfitz she you know, he kind of touched on
late in Miami. So no, I mean, it is funny, like,
but this is the Sean Payton thing, and people have
asked about any number of you know, quarterbacks or just
(08:48):
players over the course of the season, and Sean you know,
I think sort of hilariously catches a lot of flak
for the New Orleans thing and all of that. But
like first comes to shove, when they need to add
a player, they oftentimes are going to prioritize familiarity over
someone who is very slightly more talented or accomplished. Like,
(09:11):
obviously there's a limit to that. You want to always
add talent and be getting better. But bringing in any
other quarterback or receiver this week, just who what good
is it going to do you if they don't know
the system and they have four days to try to
pick it up or whatever. At least, like if they
needed Brandon Johnson to go in the game, at least
he knows what he's doing to some degree. So Brandon
(09:35):
Johnson also just a seemingly nice dude. I have always
enjoyed covering him, so be interesting to catch up with
him this week. But yeah, he and the Nucci familiar faces.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Obviously they are.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Before they signed to Ducci, I said that the Broncos
have a chance to do the funniest thing ever for
the emergency thirty quarterback and bring Kendall hitting back, which,
by the way, is the opposing coach in that game
was Sean Payton.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, so I talked about several times. You know, he
always talked about being scared out of his mind on
the plane coming up to Denver because you just don't
know what you're good. He's like, you'd rather have a
game where you sort of know what it's going to
look like than something that weird. Obviously they were in.
They were in. No you know, there's no threat of
New Orleans losing that game.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Right right, just just a chance to do the most
hilarious thing though for the emergency quarterback, you know, especially
for an AFC championship or a Super Bowl. But in
the end they go out get BENDINUCI. You know, we
talked about the New Orleans connection there. There's there's a
potential for an exodus of a lot of coaches this offseason,
Davis web One you mentioned already. You know, Vance Joseph
is in the running for a lot of these head
(10:36):
coach spots, specifically Arizona, UH and then you've you know
Jim Leonard, who's in the running for a lot of
these defensive coordinator jobs in addition to Denver, there's a
possibility we lose all three and then you're looking.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
For somebody on defense.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The idea has been floated out there about Dennis Allen,
the defensive coordinator of the Bears, maybe maybe doing the
first coordinator trade in NFL history. What do you think
about that and what other names did you think would
possibly be in the mix there.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yeah, it's funny, we were talking about that the other day.
I just you know the thing, it's like advanced Joseph
gets the head coaching job, obviously, you get the you know,
a third round picking each of the next two drafts,
and if you win the Super Bowl, maybe you know
Stidham's commanding of picking off that and you could just
imagine Sean saying, hey, listen, we got the extra Ammo,
We're going to go trade for for Dennis Allen. I
(11:23):
you know, there's a lot of names out there. It
would depend on sort of what you're you know, what
you're in the market for. We'll see. I mean there's
guys that there's guys that are accomplished, obviously, like Sean's
been complimentary of a guy like Raheem Morris before he
you know, he could end up in Green Bay. Obviously
he's really close with with Matt Lafleur and that that
kind of tree. There. There's gonna be options, I think,
(11:46):
And that's one of the things like sometimes when you're
playing to the end, there's just a lot of uh,
there's a lot of consternation about other teams not being
able to interview your coaches, or you behind on hiring candidate.
It's all of that. Like I just I don't know that.
It always seems like it sort of shakes out, so
I'd be interested, Like it's a little bit of a
different style, different front. But you know, there's a there's
(12:09):
a Jonathan Gannon, like Sean was complimentary of his defensive
chops this summer, even though he tripped on his way
up to the podium before that practice. So yeah, I mean,
you've got you've got options, and we'll see just how
how far the exodus goes. But I'm with you, I
think it's had a chance to be substantial.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, does Parker last one for you here?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Because it's the last chance I get to talk to
you on the air before the game.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm I'm pretty bullish.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I'm predicting a Denver win against the New England Patriots.
What's your confidence level going into this one.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Yeah, I'd say it's higher than I thought it was
going to be in the hours after bo Nix got hurt.
I just it's one of those games where the defense
has a chance to put it on their shoulders. And
that's not to say Stidham's incapable or anything like that.
I just think it's like, I don't know if you
can get two, but I know, like in hoops and
(13:03):
another sports, when you have a key player get hurt,
guys rally around and normally the first one looks pretty good.
And I think, just on that principle alone, to say
nothing of the fact that I don't think they match
up all that poorly and all that all of this
other stuff, Like, I just think I'm that principle alone,
there's going to be a lot of you know, get
one for bo, let's figure out a way to get
(13:25):
this one, and I just the home field advantage, all
the other stuff that goes into it. I just I
don't know, it's sort of a toss up to me,
which if you're saying toss up playing without your starting
quarterback in the SEC championship game.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That seems pretty good that it does. Parker Gabriel at
Parker J. Gabriel The Denver Post appreciates as always, brother, Yeah,
all right, take care, park Gabriel The Denver Post. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It's it's just a weird spot for me to be
in where I'm I'm not saying I'm sitting here the
full head of steam confidence in a Broncos win, but
I kind of I'm not sweat it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm not sitting here. This isn't like Buffalo or I
was like, man, I don't know, I don't know how
we're gonna pull this out.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I believe they can win this, and for whatever reason,
all the weirdo's on social media they hate me.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You're like, oh, this is a slight to bow Nicks.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
It hates Bow because he's pumping Jarrett's Stidham up, which
of course is stupid. But I mean, like, Jarrett Stidham
is actually not that big a drop off.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's not a knock on Bow. That's a plus on
Jarrett Stidham.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
He doesn't have the mobility Bow does, and he doesn't
get rid of his quick he'll take more sacks, but
he also hangs in there, he steps up in the pocket,
he'll make big throws. Go back and watch the Raiders
tape when he quarterbacked against the San Francisco forty nine ers,
and remember that the Niners with a number one defense
in the league that year.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Go back and look at the preseason tape on Jarrett Sidham.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Look at him dissecting you making those big, big deep
throws that he's making in those games rather than than
dumping it down all the time. And again, I'm not
trying to knock bow by saying that, but Bo does
have some some things about him. Mean, he kind of
has that hyper sped up clock, wants to get rid
of it quick, and so that's sort of the trap
that he falls into at times, is that maybe he
(15:02):
doesn't let some plays develop down the field.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Like you should. I also think that Jared's got a
better deep ball and more accurate deeple.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
I'm feeling weirdly confident as well. Like I think it
would be a different story if you were facing that
Texans defense who'll get after the quarterback like crazy with
only four But the fact that we're playing the Patriots, who,
like you said earlier, have not really beaten anybody other
than the Texans last week on their schedule this year.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I think.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I mean, this is why you kept a guy like
jareded Stidham was for a situation like this. If you're
getting into a big game, it's not going to be
too big for him, and he's going to be ready.
That's the reason you have a quality backup on your
roster behind bo Nicks. And I think I think they
really could pull it out. I think it helps a
lot that the game is at home. I think that's
a huge deal. But I think they could go out
(15:53):
and win this game. I really do. I believe it too.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
I and you know, in the interest of full disclosure, right,
I don't believe. I don't believe either team can beat
either team from the NFC. I think see I think
you can well. I think you could very much see
a Broncos Seattle rematch. I think it is very much
in play, and I think we I think we probably
ge smoked. That Seattle team is something else. We'll talk
(16:17):
about that this game first. That's me with this game first,
not to look too far ahead. We'll talk a little
bit more about that Broncos country. Now we get hit
a break we'll be back. I gonna do uh an
abbreviated NFL sex back here in just a just a moment,
but we're gonna do a weekend recap here.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
A rewind if you will rewind, I should have said rewind.
I knew I got the wrong word there.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Starting with the Rams taking down the Chicago Bears fourth
down and.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Four fourteen of the Rams makes a shotgun. Staff goes
back for four man rush. He's chased, he's pushed, he's
holding the way back to the porta. He's back pedaling
and throws the pass and truck stop touchdown.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Chicago's got a touchdown.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Pass let hole come in open in the corner. If
you hadn't seen it, you will not believe it's shotgunsnap.
It's a four man rush. William six looks there's a
long Passchalvaner's side. Then it's kicked off on a dive
in the twenty two on a time by cam col
(17:24):
Talvianer's sideline. Another interception of Williams.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
W wanna play forty two yard trive with the wind
in his back.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
The snap is good, the ball is down, the kickers away,
the kick is god.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
End of the end.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
The Rams are going to Championship weekend.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
The legendary Kevin Harlan on the call and the thicker
kicker sending the Rams to the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, I on the Harland on the call, SA if
you didn't see it, you you wouldn't believe it. Well,
I did see it, and I almost didn't believe it.
It was kind of funny. You look at the faces
of the coaches on the sideline there, you would have
thought it was the other coaches player that actually did
at Ben Johnson was there, stone face looking like he
had just h smelled somebody and ripped one.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And and Sean McVay was over there.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
With jenuine shock and surprise, like did I just see
that happen?
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You know it was?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
It was a phenomenal throw.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Reminds you ryding me of a Russ making that Courtland
Sutton throw up there in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You know, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It was just it was just a phenomenal, phenomenal throw
by Kayleb Williams. Alsotly the Bears lose, but Ben Johnson's
first year pretty much you got to consider that a success.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
There in Chicago, Rams move on and it's an all
NFC West NFC championship.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No surprise there, yeah, no, no real surprise there.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
And then we had, of course, the Patriots taken down
the Texans in large part into CJ.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Stroud struggles. Stroud under center against the blitz.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Today's three or four with his touchdown without a blitz
five pro eleven play fake go to the near left.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
He is, hey, is he problems a dig duck that
is kicked up?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Here's twenty five, twenty five.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Tough time to liter the sas no arcas Jones.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
Stroud out of the gun play fake to march roll
into his left. He puts dangers off second brought in
Tod Davis fo he brought a tight to her shoulder
pad and he settled at.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Clean before he went out of Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Another critical giveaway for Stroud.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
Blitz comes near side May feeling it, he steps into way.
He swings a deep rite one on one to the
end to.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Touchdown Patriots by bray Man swit Stingley walk in the
pants up them.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Me too, yard touchdown strike me another bet left thee
and that's it. They spill out on the field. They're
gonna party in Boston. The new England Patriots. The last
time they went worst to first, they won the Super Bowl.
They're onto the AFC Championship.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
John Saddock with West one one on the calls, and
hopefully the partying ends in New England after this weekend.
They'll be taking on the Broncos and in power Field
at Mile High on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But that they will, and I'm kind of glad we
got New England in stead of Houston. Houston I think
would have been a much tougher opponent, even with C. J.
Stroud's playoffs struggles. Four interceptions in that game, took three sacks,
look shell shock the whole game what he marks.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Fumbled away as well.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
On the Patriots side of things, Drake May had the
interception of four fumbles of his own, losing two of them.
So not exactly the best day for any quarterbacks. Out
of all that, the Patriots were able to get the
ground game going with overshot vermondra excuse me, Stevenson sixteen
carries seventy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yards and he had four catches for eleven as well.
His big weapon for them, Booty's the one. You gotta
watch out four though, man a lot of catch he
made on that touchdown. Yeah he is.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
He's somebody you got to watch out for there in
New England. His catches tend to always go for first downs,
highly successful when they do throwing the ball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Stiggs and Stephan Diggs and Hunter and Henry of the primaries.
But he's the next option there in New England.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, And seemed like there were no options for success
for the San Francisco forty nine ers on Saturday night.
Started with the kick off and was all downhill from there.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
And we are.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Underway in Seattle.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Rashid Shaheed drifting to his right, He'll feel the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Of the four Shaky to the fifteen, across the twenty
guers left to the twenty final hole to thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Step two at tackle.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
The forty stumbles across midfield, down the right sideline.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Of the thirty Shahey to the twenty. He's all the
way home. A Seattle touchdown.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
On the opening kickoff, six nothing.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Seahawks second in goal, barner in motion, Donald under center
play action, rolls to the left, Darnald looking at the
end zone.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Pressure coming late, throws back.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Of the in zone in the corner.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
Jackson Smith then Chickma with a dive in two hand
catch for six.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The Niners do not have to snap it again, and
they will not. The Seahawks are superb in.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
Seattle, total dominance in a forty one to six win
over San Francisco. The NFC Championship game is in Seattle.
The road to Super Bowl sixty will stay through the
Pacific Northwest in the NFC.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Kevin Coogler of Westwood one on the call, and like
he said, certainly superb in Seattle, and man, they look.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Like a juggernaut right now.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, but if you're you know, you're counting on Charbonna,
you might need a Chardonnay. Is looks like he's done
for the year, obviously, So Kenth Walker will have to
take the rest loads going forward.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Certainly did in that game.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nineteen carries, one hundred and sixty and three rushing touchdowns.
Sam Darld didn't have to do much anything between the
special teams in the ground game.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
The Niners, on the other hand, couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
One hundred and forty passing yards at a pick for
Rock Party, eleven carries for thirty five yards for Christian
McCaffrey toan just was their leading receiver at fifty nine
yards he.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Had a fumble loss.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
He was just a disaster class for the San Francisco
forty Niners. As the Seattle Sea Chickens continue to cruise
on into the NFC Championship, and of course the first.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Game of the weekend when we remember well here in Denver,
the Broncos beating the Bills and overtime.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Nixon's under sooner Bo with a Playthache rolls to his right,
dumps it in the flat, pick Frank Crown.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
With the catch and a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Denver had a boy, Frank Frank Crumb, the second year
tackle out of Wyoming Huple, who head out on their
Bengo card. Frank Crumb breaks conteam out over the thirty
runs out of the thirty five out of.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
The forty, he fumbles the ball. The ball is free, Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Recovered, Nest still free and Denver's got it.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
With two seconds to go in.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
The half, Phil's rush five fall in the pocket hit
as he froze, throws, the ball fades deep corner, Tad touchdown,
Marvin Mimes.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Twenty six yards strike. Oo nicks to Marvin.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Mems who's still down deep ball down the field.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
The ball is intercepting a Kwon McMillen.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Oh my goodness, the Bill sideline thought that Brandon Cooks
had it. K Kwan took it away from him. Both
players went airborne snap placement, kick on the way.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
And Denver's going to the FC Championship game.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Let's from twenty four yards out in an epic battle
from at power field at mile high. The Broncos have
climbed higher and they have found a way to win again,
coming from behind.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
They beat the Buffalo Bills this afternoon, thirty three to thirty.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Dave Logan, Rick Lewis and those calls courtesy of us
KWA Broncos Radio Network.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What a fun game to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was Marvin Mims, the leading receiver for the playoffs
in that round or that round of playoffs, eight catches
ninety three yards in a touchdown called all eat of
his tar.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's five of them went for first downs.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And as we've been talking about the show for several months, hey,
maybe we remember we got a Marvin Mims out there.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
He can he can do good things with that. Let's
get to an abbreviate in an NFL six pack. It's
time for the NFL six pack.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
I'm gonna trade here insighted insight information you can't find
anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
No. Six the top six NFL headline.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
What Mike McDaniel withdrawal from Brown's coaching search raises obvious
questions and the answers.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
May be clearer than we thought. Where do you think
Mike McDaniels ends up.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, it's uh, Mike McDaniel will end up as the
offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Charges.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
We held out of that one a little bit. We've
known about it for about a half hour. We had
a lot of for the for the six pack.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Mike McDaniel will be the OC of the charge, pending
uh that he doesn't get the Ravens or Raiders gigs.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
But I will tell you he's not the favorite for
the one.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
But he's still in play those two head coaching jobs,
but he is going to take the offensive coordinating job
with the LLI Chargers. And man, it's kind of interesting
because everybody had those too, justin Herbert comparisons.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Well, now you've got to coordinate it. It's going from
one to the other. Also, by the way, I.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Mean, Mike McDaniel getting getting to have that that one
two punch with O Marion Hampton to come ony with
dow Man. It's Chargers. I'm telling you, they get that
offensive line healthy. I'm sweating next year.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Let's hope he takes one of those head coaching jobs.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
If he said, yeah, well hope, I don't think he's
going hope one of them is the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
That's better than him as the OC with Harball with
the Chargers. Do you want him? You really want him
coordinated Ashton Chanty. It's not like it's solos. I appreciate
it's better too well.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
And if he took that Raiders job, he could end
up coaching the Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza. Indiana Kurt Signetti
and Fernando Mendoza bring home the perfect season sixteen to
zero and win the College Football Playoff National Championship. Did
you think Miami had a chance in that game? It
was closer than I think, but Indiana found a way
to win in the end.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, I'm you know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
The worries that I had were what played themselves out
in the end. And that was the liability for Miami
was the quarterback Carson Beck. He wound up throwing that
interception there at the end, and in that seal that
I thought, you know, Miami, it felt like there were
some times they were a little bit more worried about
being physical than actually trying to win that football game.
On the offensive side. I wish they would have done
(27:24):
There's a few things they could have done better.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I think we all had.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I had picked Indiana and they showed me the money,
and I believe they would win. Yeah, Mendoza run was
awkward looking, but somehow managed to find the end zone.
It was kind of like watch you remember watching Drew
Locke run where you like, it looks like a wood
at giraffe out there, but you would get yardage.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You got the job done, got the job done at
the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So somebody was trying to say it was the most
iconic run in college football history. I'm like, bro, do
you don't even remember the Rose Bowl with Vince Young?
Just I mean, I'm honestly doing here, That's not even
the most iconic play in the last decade, let alone,
you know.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Ever, So people short memories.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Three someone who does not have a short memory, Baker
Mayfield spicing up the Bucks Falcons rivalry as Kevin Sefanski
was just hired as the Falcons next head coach started
when deal Orlando led Better of the Atlanta Journal Constitution
posted a surprisingly aggressive tweet Falcons coach Kevin Sefanski had
(28:21):
a dumpster fire at quarterback in Cleveland. Baker Mayfield and
Deshaun Watson failed, which started a chain reaction to eleven
other starters. Mayfield saw it and responded failed is quite
the reach.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Fal still waiting on a.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
Text call from Stefanski after I got shipped off like
a piece of garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Can't wait to see you twice a year, coach. If
you like this comment from Baker Mayfield, I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, I do too, And he's not wrong. I mean,
you know, he kind of got run out of there.
There are some There was some you know, Baker wasn't
entirely immune to criticism for that, but you know, I
mean it's one of those things that I think we
talked about people finding way used to create motivation or whatever,
and I think Baker's doing Baker things with that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Normally, I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I would if I got let go from somewhere, I
would expect everybody there.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
To kiss the ring on the way out. You know,
I'm gone from there. Cool, But the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, I mean he did get Baker got done dirty
by the Browns. So fair having Stefanski in the division.
If that's what you need to motivate yourself, get yourself
up for that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
The Bucks are going to need that with a redone
coaching lineup this this coming year.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Or Joe Burrow says the officials got the calls right,
but people don't understand what he catches. His retirement from
Twitter has officially been ended. He doesn't tweet much, but
he came out and said that the amount of people
that don't understand what he catches and the Roebuck flabbergasted me.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
And it's not the officials.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls and they
got both of them right.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Do you agree with Joe Burrow? Of course you did.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Well.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I mean, it's not even quarterback in the NFL, I
would say.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And how about Joe coming out of retirement from Twitter
year to come out and call everybody stupid for trying
to pretend that one Yeah, both were officiated correctly, the
two weren't the same thing. And I had I've wasted
so much of my life trying to explain this to
people on.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Twitter.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
When you're a receiver, you have to complete the process
of the catch. That's that's for the rest of those
conditions don't come into play. The going to the ground
fifty to fifty, know that it can't be a fifty
to fifty fall if there's no complete catch. Going to
the graph, can't go to the graph there's not a
completed catch.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So with the Cooks thing, you have to complete the
process of the catch first.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
It theoretically or fundamentally, it's the same as the ball
being batted around in the air. It's still a live ball,
which is why Jake Quaan McMillan was able to just
kind of grab the ball off the top of him
and then go, uh, you know, get the interception. It
was a correct call. It was officiated correctly, and then
the call in the Rams game was a little bit different.
He had secured the process of the catch with the
need down. So to me, it's it's fascinating to watch,
(30:59):
you know, people don't know what they're talking about, wolfing
and pretending because you get that all the time. I
got a guyut of the text line right now that's pretended.
Neil's what he's talking about and the head of block
him he love, Yeah, I know, apparently I had to blocking.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Uh, you know it. Guy's an idiot. He doesn't know
what he's talking about, and that's that's what happens. And
so you get this.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
You get this sometimes from people that get the bridges,
you know, all twisted up thinking they know things they don't,
and that's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
What an idiot? Oh what a loser? Five your boy?
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Former Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has completed his interview
with the Cowboys hear Josina Anderson, and now he's on
a flight to the Packers. Where do you think Jonathan
Gannon ends up next year? And mostly most likely as
a DC somewhere right.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I think it'll be one of those.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Two jobs we'll see, you know, Jim Leonard and John
Gannon very much in play for the Dallas jobs. John's
got friends up there some of these other places, so
I think it'll be.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
One of those two. We'll kind of see you again.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
There's still some musical chairs shuffling going around with some
of these head coaching hires, so I don't exactly know
where he's gonna land yet, but I believe those two
are very much in play.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Would be surprised with either one of those two.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Six.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Patriots owner Robert Kraft earlier today on ninety eight point
five the Sports Hub said that they he thinks that
they will be going to an eighteen game season sooner
rather than later, said, I want to tell you guys
that we're going to push like the Dickens now to
make international games more important with us. Every team will
go to eighteen regular season games and two preseason games
(32:32):
and eliminate one of the preseason games, and every team
every year will play one game overseas.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
How soon do you think this could actually happen the
next CBA? That's what they've been gunning for this whole time.
There was a whole impetus by going to seventeen games
and getting the players to give up a.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Few things like the weed testing and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
The impetus was to store to steer towards the eighteen
game season with two preseason games, an international game every year,
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
We've known.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I mean, this is not new news.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
We knew that was coming since what twenty seventeen, I
think it was twenty sixteen. We've we've kind of known
that this was the direction they always wanted to go,
and they're gonna get that, and that additional game will
allow them to jack up the broadcasting contracts and that
you know, they add additional game, get more money out
of that, which is by far the biggest revenue that
the NFL gets, And so that's that's going to be
(33:24):
the plan.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
As far as the rest of that goes and spoil overt,
they're going to get it past when's the CBA UP,
I think twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
They've got some broadcasting deals that got to opt out
of first, and you know, there's there's some mechanisms to
all that, but at the end of the day, that's
where that's headed.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Broccos Country Tonight, get a break. We'll be back.
