Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's in Grant Smith here with you five, six, six
(00:01):
to nine zero de text. I take you all the
way up to the bottom of the artrom Jack and
Zach on the call, Rockies taking on the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
With that, let's get to ANFL six pack. It's time
for the NFL six pad.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm gonna drink a lot of beer.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Insight and insight information you can't find anywhere else. No.
Six The Top six NFL headlines what.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
The NFL has revealed players one hundred to seventy seven
from their twenty twenty sixth list of the league's one
hundred best players. So far, zero Broncos have been named
to the list. How many Broncos will make the list
and how long will Broncos Country have to wait to
get some representation on the aforementioned list.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna be the real as y'all
for a minute. I don't pay attention to these lists
at all ever for any reason.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't care about somebody's arbitrary ranking. I do not
give a flying you know what where they rank Broncos
players and whatever else. These things are only designed to
run during the offseason and stir up the conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And there's that, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You'll see Patterer, Tan, Zach Allen, those guys will be
on there.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Quinn will be on there. You'll see these guys probably
in the top fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I would venture to guess that those are probably the
only three you'll see.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I don't know, maybe Benito gets on here. Two so
four total.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, I agree with Ben this is one of those
soft landings for the off season to give the NFL
network and a lot of fans a lot to talk
about who was on it, who wasn't on there, why
we should be upset?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Who's going to be on there this year? So that's
the way I look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
But I would like to think that obviously PS two
with out of doubt, he's gonna be up there. He's
got to be in the top five for sure. And
I would dare to say, you know, Boles is gonna
find his way on there too as well.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I would like to think Zach Allen and.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Nick Benito because of the seasons that both of those
guys had.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
No Garrett Bowles, I doubt he gets on that list,
although he probably should.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
What about Jalen Waddell. No, I doubt is not gonna
be No.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Listen, I can't wait till you see topics four and five.
Since you guys love these lists so much, we there
we go two. When I asked about missing twenty games
over the past two seasons, Saints center Eric McCoy said,
I'll self at it here.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Hope just happens he used a different four letter word.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
What do you make of that response to the injury
question and what are your expert expectations for this year's
Saints team?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Well, I think the Saints are arguably going to be
one of the better teams in that H division.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I mean, you just think about what teams are in
that division now.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Carolina Panthers shocked a lot of people, and they should
be much better.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But I would give the tip of the cap to
the new the same.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
So we've watched Sean Payne dominated that division for so
many different years, but now that team is now starting
to come along. Tyler Shuck now is in the second year.
He now has a lot of experience on his belt.
He's very mobile quarterback. So yeah, they're gonna do well.
But as far as the injuries concern, yeah, I mean
things do happen, grant and injuries can take place at
(03:24):
any moment. Look, once upon a time here Denver was
said that someone tripped and felled over their dog, which
prevent them from playing in the football game.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Things happen.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
You know what, you can slip in the shower, right,
Why are you looking at me like that day?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Because you know that what would happen?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I said. People have said that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, all right, all right, I know that is not
what happens. Yeah, I mean as as far as rest
that goes to me, yeah, I mean, stuff does happen.
I don't know. I mean, like, at the end of
the day, it's gonna fact. You can get hurt. People
gonna get hurt. Sometimes it's stuff you control. Sometimes stuff
you can't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Try to make the things that you can control the
things you can control, and don't get hurt during those
and if the other stuff happens, and just roll with.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
The bunch football man.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Were you surprised that Kellen Moore looks so formidable as
a head coach in his first year?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Honestly, yes, that was one of That was one because
I know about his early interviews for head coach and
they were disasters. I did not expect him to become
the guy. I didn't even like him really as an OC,
to be honest with you, which we took over psyching
with the Chargers, Herbert's numbers went down. Uh, he was
okay in Dallas, but.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They you know, I mean he made his bones and
made up for whatever early in the States. Yeah, with
the Eagles, I don't think I got him a job.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You're right, But did he with the Eagles are just
a loaded team?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like, hey, I don't care. He was called and play
someone was running them right.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But then he got to New Orleans and the Orleans
looking at my v something like they're showing flashes.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Like they might be a sleepy sneaker, sneaky sleeper team
this year bet the over on the win total, and
I saw, like that's one of those ones where I'm like, yeah,
that would call me off guard. I did not see
Kellen Moore turn from a middling offensive coordinator into you know,
pretty good looking head coach.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Early on three.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
This week, Texans running backs coach and assistant head coach
Danny Barrett told Aaron Wilson of KPRC two that the
team views David Montgomery has a three down back this season?
Do you agree with the Texans assessment and well, the
Broncos regret not trading for David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I don't think the Broncos regret not trading for him.
At this point, you got Jona Coleman.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think that's that. You know, that's your thing.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
If Coleman doesn't pan out the.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Way they want. Maybe Montgomery is viewed as a work
horse back. I mean he's he's two hundred and thirty pounds,
you know. I mean, he's a big boy. As far
as the rest of that goes. I mean, you're talking
about a guy who has been over one hundred and
fifty carries every year of his career, although it's been
diminishing last year or four years, where he's gone from
two twenty down to like fifty eight last year in Detroit,
I just kept getting fewer and fewer. I would say
(05:52):
he's a little bit more of a specialized back at.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This point than a three down guy. I mean, he's
he's a guy you could use on early downs.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
He can pass pro, but he's been more specialized, especially
with short yards, goal line and power type stuff. I
think you definitely do need a guy that can come
in there and be receiving back change of pace, you know,
split it up things like that.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I disagree be you and you look over Montgomery's years
from with the Detroit Alliance in Chicago Bears, He's actually
filled up the step start except for one year when
he had twenty twenty two, but he only had five
rushing touchdowns. But what did we see with him and
Jamiir Gibbs being the one two punch and that's up
of the word one two punch. Because of that, he
(06:31):
wasn't getting a lot of touch It's not as much
as Jamiir Gibbs because Jamiir Gibbs was somewhat of a.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Home run hitter.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Now he gets a chance in the offense that really
needs to get a run game to take the.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Pressure off of CJ. Shaw because he's developed into a turnover.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Machine and they got they have to with Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I mean they're banking on his success because they did
not go out and get additional backups. It's what he
marks and Jahar Jordan behind him, they don't have anything
that he is a three down bellcal type guy. So
they're banking on Montgomery to stay healthy and be the guy.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Well what he mark seems like a good one two
punch guy, right, like he had some splashes.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Last splash plays. Yeah, but yeah, you don't want him to.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
He's an excellent change of pace type of guy, and
every team needs one or two of those.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Guys, right, But what you don't want is a situation
where Montgomery goes down and you're asking Julia McLoughlin to
carry the whole load.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Like you said, that's not what you want?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Are you suggesting little McLoughlin could be on a monkey?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What I'm saying he used the last thing like the JK.
Dobbs goes down situation, Like we saw what that. You
know what happens in those scenarios. So four.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
In ESPN's annual rankings of the top ten players at
each position source from NFL GM scouts and coaches, patser ten,
the second retained his title as the NFL's best CB.
Is anyone close to challenging PS two for the title
of best cornerback in the NFL? And could Riley Moss
or j mac crack the top ten this season?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Wow? I would say there's a possibility for Riley Moss
because you're playing opposite PS two, so we know you
gotta get a significant a monk targets. So if you
could turn those targets into PBUs.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But more importantly, I in T's turn some of the
dpi's well, seek old grit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I'm talking about interceptions and pass breakup.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Why did you have to go in that direction?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I'm just saying, man, I'm trying to be positive.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
TV's want to record every possible stat they can, right,
they're trying to stuff the sheet here with every possible
thing they can.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, I'm looking at these from the positive side of things.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
That Rodney Moss is gonna bounce back and those DPIs
that Gret's talking about it was gonna be a thing
in the past. So if he can do that, get
some people using iron T's Yes, now you can put
himself in that conversation.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
What is the exact question here if I remember the
original question, I hope if I turned on my mic, Yeah,
as anyone close to cracking the top ten for the
Broncos other than PS two j mac or Riley Moss,
and as anyone close to unseating PS two as the top.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Corner in the league.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, I know know to all the above that McMillan
would be the closest one to cracking that thing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And how do you do again, how do you do it?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Continue to make plays, continue show well.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Not just continue to make plays, Like I told Grant
this negativity in tees at well, yeah, in.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Pick sixes it's you know, if people use a great
and good that you create the turnovers, whether it's fumbles,
whether it's interceptions, whatever, you're creating turnovers. That that's that's
that's what you're there as a dB, right, don't give
up big plays, create turnovers. No, nobody's close to unseatings
or can or cracking the top ten five.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
In those same ESPN positional rankings, of course, JK, Dobbin
and D and Harvey fails to receive even a single
vote to be a top ten running back. Are you
surprised at all by that result? And why do you
think they were excluded from the top ten list?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, r J should be fairly obvious.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
As far as the JK situation, I think it's I
think there's a health component to it, right, I mean,
when's the last time he played more than more ten games?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know that that's one of those things I think
end of the.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Day that you're you're kind of looking at I think
JK finished what twenty fifth in the league and rushing
despite only playing ten games, nine starting nine and seventwo
yards four touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You putting that in the top ten, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I mean, the number seventeen running back in the league
at one thousand yards last year. So I don't know
how you're I don't know how you're going about that.
What would you be putting r J?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Harvey?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Already Harvey was the fortieth ranked running back in yardage,
so you know, I don't know, I don't know how
either one of them would would make that list as
far as that kind of stuff goes. And RJ was
what twenty seventh in touchdowns I think amongst running backs.
So yeah, there's there's I mean, I don't see any
way you would look at that disrespectfully.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Dobbins would was.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
The better back, Yeah, I mean Dobbins was a better bag.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
But how once again proved to be somewhat of a
thrown in his backside.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And if he's healthy, maybe if he could have that conversation.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
But when you look at the top five back Cook
Henry Taylor, Bijon and von A jan to me, he
doesn't have those types of numbers, but if he is healthy,
he puts himself in the conversation. And know, by the way,
if he does become that dude with those types of
league top numbers, it changes the narratives for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean anything, You're not putting him a head
of Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henraye, Mr.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gibbs, Josh Jacobs, James Cook, you know, and then.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You start looking at a Macaffrey, Kyl Williams, Deadre Swift
and you get into the sharbon a argument.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You know, there's you're just not putting any of those
guys ahead of those guys.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Six miss Week, Taylor, Swift and Travis Kelsey reportedly got
married inside Madison Square Garden. If you were to get
married in a sports venue, what venue would you choose
and why? And how many people would you invite? You
had a sports arena to fill.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh, I would like to get married if I had
to do it all over.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It in Rome. I don't see him. Yeah, I mean
the original sporting what I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Saying, I.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Like the coliseum. I know the floors and the grounds
are all the trepid now. But yeah, I would think
that that would be a very majestic place to uh
get married, but really expensive.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, I have no attachment to getting married at any
sporting venue as far as that goes, the only.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
One sort you don't have attachment to getting married.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think if I if I were to do it
again the first time I got married on a golf course,
I'd probably do that again.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So Pebble Beach, like you know, the scenic view at
Pebble Beach like that in the ocean. That would be
why just the view, not not so much that it
was a sporting event or that I have any particular attachment.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
To Pebble Beach. I don't like that. That would be
why there's no.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Sebat like getting married at Madison Square Garden or whatever,
like I would just I wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And as far as inviting people, I've probably not invited anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Oh, no one was going to come in. Maybe your wife,
your future wife's family. Yeah, this owner after they knew.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Up to support that anyway. So that's you know, I mean,
it's one of those things that I I don't have
to have an open bar. I don't pay everybody's bar
tep just an open bar for you.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You know. It's a great place to as well, which
you mentioned Pebble Beach, Tory Pines.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's that would be great.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Like any place that scenic like that would probably be
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I don't understand why you would ever want to get
married in an indoor arena like that makes no.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Sense to me. Well, well, for them, it's the show.
It's the you know, they got all those people happy because,
you know.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And you have to kind of make it, you know,
really show with the red carpet and all that, and
keep it climate control because when women, you know, put
on their makeup is their day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
They don't want to sweat and sweat.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, nobody wants that mask like a red cool with
runny eyes and make up, you know what, like.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Clay face with this.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, you don't want that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
By the way, hot take, maybe not even a hot take,
just three dudes talking about this.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But wedding makeup is the worst. Yes, I think it
makes them look ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, well I beg it's a.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Different I would never tell them that. Alive on the air,
Smith only Grant Smith who are.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Doing the makeup beautiful, But we didn't have a professional
wedding makeup artist.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You see.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
That's what I was going to say, depending on who
is your makeup artist, because there's certain makeup that they
can put on that it doesn't run a certain powder.
But I've seen certain makeup done that that that buddy
looked like it was airbrushed on, right, and it looks
like a portal. Like, man, you don't want to mess
that up at all. Like if you say when when
(14:30):
they say, well you may kiss the Brian, You're like,
you know what, let me just kiss your hand, right,
because I want to mess it up.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yes, one bonus topic for you guys, Nick, you sent
us to the group chat this morning Christian Polistic after
the uh soft devastating down by Belgium today.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Ben, I thought that was your favorite player coming into
the world, man, I was.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That was not my favorite player coming into anything. And
I think we all know behind those scenes what I
said about that guy. Now it's getting set about him.
You know, he's whiny and titled and soft and he's
the fa US soccer unfortunately, and you saw what happened,
you know, you saw what happened to the game. He
came up, you know, limp it off the off the thing,
and then the presser was it today or whatever?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, he was asked about his ankle injury and he said, well,
now I get time to rest, so it'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, player to do with that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Because here's the way I thought about it, because you know,
my daughter plays soccer and we were kind of watching
this whole thing and hoping that team woul saying would
actually pull it out. And I told her, I say, look,
and the game that's a winner, go home. It's a winner,
go home. They only do this every four years. And
It's like, I'm gonna stay on the field no matter
what whatever you got to give me, I'm staying on
(15:41):
the field. I'm not just going to bow. I'm just
like throw my hands up. And I don't want to
say that, you know, he gave up.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But I don't know what to call it. I have
no idea what to call it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, I look, there were there we was two players
out there that were that were showing that were showing
some fiightiness. Sebastian Burholter at the game in for police,
came in for plage and and and Diego Loota, those
guys were, those guys were on it, and and those
guys or you should build around. And I think Burholz
is like applying for Canadian citizenship because he didn't want
to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Wow, I'm just saying Jack exact. Other call Colora Rockets
baseball next
Here's in Grant Smith here with you five, six, six
(00:01):
to nine zero de text. I take you all the
way up to the bottom of the artrom Jack and
Zach on the call, Rockies taking on the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
With that, let's get to ANFL six pack. It's time
for the NFL six pad.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm gonna drink a lot of beer.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Insight and insight information you can't find anywhere else. No.
Six The Top six NFL headlines what.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You'll see Patterer, Tan, Zach Allen, those guys will be
on there.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Quinn will be on there. You'll see these guys probably
in the top fifty.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I would venture to guess that those are probably the
only three you'll see.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I don't know, maybe Benito gets on here. Two so
four total.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, I agree with Ben this is one of those
soft landings for the off season to give the NFL
network and a lot of fans a lot to talk
about who was on it, who wasn't on there, why
we should be upset?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Who's going to be on there this year? So that's
the way I look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
But I would like to think that obviously PS two
with out of doubt, he's gonna be up there. He's
got to be in the top five for sure. And
I would dare to say, you know, Boles is gonna
find his way on there too as well.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I would like to think Zach Allen and.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Nick Benito because of the seasons that both of those
guys had.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
No Garrett Bowles, I doubt he gets on that list,
although he probably should.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
What about Jalen Waddell. No, I doubt is not gonna
be No.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Listen, I can't wait till you see topics four and five.
Since you guys love these lists so much, we there
we go two. When I asked about missing twenty games
over the past two seasons, Saints center Eric McCoy said,
I'll self at it here.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Hope just happens he used a different four letter word.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
What do you make of that response to the injury
question and what are your expert expectations for this year's
Saints team?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Well, I think the Saints are arguably going to be
one of the better teams in that H division.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I mean, you just think about what teams are in
that division now.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Carolina Panthers shocked a lot of people, and they should
be much better.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
But I would give the tip of the cap to
the new the same.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
So we've watched Sean Payne dominated that division for so
many different years, but now that team is now starting
to come along. Tyler Shuck now is in the second year.
He now has a lot of experience on his belt.
He's very mobile quarterback. So yeah, they're gonna do well.
But as far as the injuries concern, yeah, I mean
things do happen, grant and injuries can take place at
(03:24):
any moment. Look, once upon a time here Denver was
said that someone tripped and felled over their dog, which
prevent them from playing in the football game.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Things happen.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
You know what, you can slip in the shower, right,
Why are you looking at me like that day?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Because you know that what would happen?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I said. People have said that, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, all right, all right, I know that is not
what happens. Yeah, I mean as as far as rest
that goes to me, yeah, I mean, stuff does happen.
I don't know. I mean, like, at the end of
the day, it's gonna fact. You can get hurt. People
gonna get hurt. Sometimes it's stuff you control. Sometimes stuff
you can't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Try to make the things that you can control the
things you can control, and don't get hurt during those
and if the other stuff happens, and just roll with.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
The bunch football man.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Were you surprised that Kellen Moore looks so formidable as
a head coach in his first year?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Honestly, yes, that was one of That was one because
I know about his early interviews for head coach and
they were disasters. I did not expect him to become
the guy. I didn't even like him really as an OC,
to be honest with you, which we took over psyching
with the Chargers, Herbert's numbers went down. Uh, he was
okay in Dallas, but.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They you know, I mean he made his bones and
made up for whatever early in the States. Yeah, with
the Eagles, I don't think I got him a job.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
You're right, But did he with the Eagles are just
a loaded team?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Like, hey, I don't care. He was called and play
someone was running them right.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But then he got to New Orleans and the Orleans
looking at my v something like they're showing flashes.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Like they might be a sleepy sneaker, sneaky sleeper team
this year bet the over on the win total, and
I saw, like that's one of those ones where I'm like, yeah,
that would call me off guard. I did not see
Kellen Moore turn from a middling offensive coordinator into you know,
pretty good looking head coach.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Early on three.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
This week, Texans running backs coach and assistant head coach
Danny Barrett told Aaron Wilson of KPRC two that the
team views David Montgomery has a three down back this season?
Do you agree with the Texans assessment and well, the
Broncos regret not trading for David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I don't think the Broncos regret not trading for him.
At this point, you got Jona Coleman.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think that's that. You know, that's your thing.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
If Coleman doesn't pan out the.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Way they want. Maybe Montgomery is viewed as a work
horse back. I mean he's he's two hundred and thirty pounds,
you know. I mean, he's a big boy. As far
as the rest of that goes. I mean, you're talking
about a guy who has been over one hundred and
fifty carries every year of his career, although it's been
diminishing last year or four years, where he's gone from
two twenty down to like fifty eight last year in Detroit,
I just kept getting fewer and fewer. I would say
(05:52):
he's a little bit more of a specialized back at.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This point than a three down guy. I mean, he's
he's a guy you could use on early downs.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
He can pass pro, but he's been more specialized, especially
with short yards, goal line and power type stuff. I
think you definitely do need a guy that can come
in there and be receiving back change of pace, you know,
split it up things like that.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I disagree be you and you look over Montgomery's years
from with the Detroit Alliance in Chicago Bears, He's actually
filled up the step start except for one year when
he had twenty twenty two, but he only had five
rushing touchdowns. But what did we see with him and
Jamiir Gibbs being the one two punch and that's up
of the word one two punch. Because of that, he
(06:31):
wasn't getting a lot of touch It's not as much
as Jamiir Gibbs because Jamiir Gibbs was somewhat of a.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Home run hitter.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Now he gets a chance in the offense that really
needs to get a run game to take the.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Pressure off of CJ. Shaw because he's developed into a turnover.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Machine and they got they have to with Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I mean they're banking on his success because they did
not go out and get additional backups. It's what he
marks and Jahar Jordan behind him, they don't have anything
that he is a three down bellcal type guy. So
they're banking on Montgomery to stay healthy and be the guy.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Well what he mark seems like a good one two
punch guy, right, like he had some splashes.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Last splash plays. Yeah, but yeah, you don't want him to.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
He's an excellent change of pace type of guy, and
every team needs one or two of those.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Guys, right, But what you don't want is a situation
where Montgomery goes down and you're asking Julia McLoughlin to
carry the whole load.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Like you said, that's not what you want?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Are you suggesting little McLoughlin could be on a monkey?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
What I'm saying he used the last thing like the JK.
Dobbs goes down situation, Like we saw what that. You
know what happens in those scenarios. So four.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
In ESPN's annual rankings of the top ten players at
each position source from NFL GM scouts and coaches, patser ten,
the second retained his title as the NFL's best CB.
Is anyone close to challenging PS two for the title
of best cornerback in the NFL? And could Riley Moss
or j mac crack the top ten this season?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Wow? I would say there's a possibility for Riley Moss
because you're playing opposite PS two, so we know you
gotta get a significant a monk targets. So if you
could turn those targets into PBUs.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But more importantly, I in T's turn some of the
dpi's well, seek old grit.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I'm talking about interceptions and pass breakup.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Why did you have to go in that direction?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I'm just saying, man, I'm trying to be positive.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
TV's want to record every possible stat they can, right,
they're trying to stuff the sheet here with every possible
thing they can.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, I'm looking at these from the positive side of things.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
That Rodney Moss is gonna bounce back and those DPIs
that Gret's talking about it was gonna be a thing
in the past. So if he can do that, get
some people using iron T's Yes, now you can put
himself in that conversation.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
What is the exact question here if I remember the
original question, I hope if I turned on my mic, Yeah,
as anyone close to cracking the top ten for the
Broncos other than PS two j mac or Riley Moss,
and as anyone close to unseating PS two as the top.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Corner in the league.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, I know know to all the above that McMillan
would be the closest one to cracking that thing.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And how do you do again, how do you do it?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Continue to make plays, continue show well.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Not just continue to make plays, Like I told Grant
this negativity in tees at well, yeah, in.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Pick sixes it's you know, if people use a great
and good that you create the turnovers, whether it's fumbles,
whether it's interceptions, whatever, you're creating turnovers. That that's that's
that's what you're there as a dB, right, don't give
up big plays, create turnovers. No, nobody's close to unseatings
or can or cracking the top ten five.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
In those same ESPN positional rankings, of course, JK, Dobbin
and D and Harvey fails to receive even a single
vote to be a top ten running back. Are you
surprised at all by that result? And why do you
think they were excluded from the top ten list?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, r J should be fairly obvious.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
As far as the JK situation, I think it's I
think there's a health component to it, right, I mean,
when's the last time he played more than more ten games?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know that that's one of those things I think
end of the.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Day that you're you're kind of looking at I think
JK finished what twenty fifth in the league and rushing
despite only playing ten games, nine starting nine and seventwo
yards four touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You putting that in the top ten, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I mean, the number seventeen running back in the league
at one thousand yards last year. So I don't know
how you're I don't know how you're going about that.
What would you be putting r J?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Harvey?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Already Harvey was the fortieth ranked running back in yardage,
so you know, I don't know, I don't know how
either one of them would would make that list as
far as that kind of stuff goes. And RJ was
what twenty seventh in touchdowns I think amongst running backs.
So yeah, there's there's I mean, I don't see any
way you would look at that disrespectfully.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Dobbins would was.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
The better back, Yeah, I mean Dobbins was a better bag.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
But how once again proved to be somewhat of a
thrown in his backside.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And if he's healthy, maybe if he could have that conversation.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
But when you look at the top five back Cook
Henry Taylor, Bijon and von A jan to me, he
doesn't have those types of numbers, but if he is healthy,
he puts himself in the conversation. And know, by the way,
if he does become that dude with those types of
league top numbers, it changes the narratives for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, I mean anything, You're not putting him a head
of Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henraye, Mr.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Gibbs, Josh Jacobs, James Cook, you know, and then.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You start looking at a Macaffrey, Kyl Williams, Deadre Swift
and you get into the sharbon a argument.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You know, there's you're just not putting any of those
guys ahead of those guys.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Six miss Week, Taylor, Swift and Travis Kelsey reportedly got
married inside Madison Square Garden. If you were to get
married in a sports venue, what venue would you choose
and why? And how many people would you invite? You
had a sports arena to fill.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh, I would like to get married if I had
to do it all over.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It in Rome. I don't see him. Yeah, I mean
the original sporting what I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Saying, I.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Like the coliseum. I know the floors and the grounds
are all the trepid now. But yeah, I would think
that that would be a very majestic place to uh
get married, but really expensive.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, I have no attachment to getting married at any
sporting venue as far as that goes, the only.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
One sort you don't have attachment to getting married.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I think if I if I were to do it
again the first time I got married on a golf course,
I'd probably do that again.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So Pebble Beach, like you know, the scenic view at
Pebble Beach like that in the ocean. That would be
why just the view, not not so much that it
was a sporting event or that I have any particular attachment.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
To Pebble Beach. I don't like that. That would be
why there's no.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Sebat like getting married at Madison Square Garden or whatever,
like I would just I wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And as far as inviting people, I've probably not invited anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Oh, no one was going to come in. Maybe your wife,
your future wife's family. Yeah, this owner after they knew.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Up to support that anyway. So that's you know, I mean,
it's one of those things that I I don't have
to have an open bar. I don't pay everybody's bar
tep just an open bar for you.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You know. It's a great place to as well, which
you mentioned Pebble Beach, Tory Pines.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's that would be great.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Like any place that scenic like that would probably be
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I don't understand why you would ever want to get
married in an indoor arena like that makes no.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Sense to me. Well, well, for them, it's the show.
It's the you know, they got all those people happy because,
you know.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
And you have to kind of make it, you know,
really show with the red carpet and all that, and
keep it climate control because when women, you know, put
on their makeup is their day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
They don't want to sweat and sweat.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yeah, nobody wants that mask like a red cool with
runny eyes and make up, you know what, like.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Clay face with this.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, you don't want that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
By the way, hot take, maybe not even a hot take,
just three dudes talking about this.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
But wedding makeup is the worst. Yes, I think it
makes them look ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yes, well I beg it's a.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Different I would never tell them that. Alive on the air,
Smith only Grant Smith who are.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Doing the makeup beautiful, But we didn't have a professional
wedding makeup artist.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
You see.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
That's what I was going to say, depending on who
is your makeup artist, because there's certain makeup that they
can put on that it doesn't run a certain powder.
But I've seen certain makeup done that that that buddy
looked like it was airbrushed on, right, and it looks
like a portal. Like, man, you don't want to mess
that up at all. Like if you say when when
(14:30):
they say, well you may kiss the Brian, You're like,
you know what, let me just kiss your hand, right,
because I want to mess it up.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yes, one bonus topic for you guys, Nick, you sent
us to the group chat this morning Christian Polistic after
the uh soft devastating down by Belgium today.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Ben, I thought that was your favorite player coming into
the world, man, I was.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That was not my favorite player coming into anything. And
I think we all know behind those scenes what I
said about that guy. Now it's getting set about him.
You know, he's whiny and titled and soft and he's
the fa US soccer unfortunately, and you saw what happened,
you know, you saw what happened to the game. He
came up, you know, limp it off the off the thing,
and then the presser was it today or whatever?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, he was asked about his ankle injury and he said, well,
now I get time to rest, so it'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, player to do with that.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Because here's the way I thought about it, because you know,
my daughter plays soccer and we were kind of watching
this whole thing and hoping that team woul saying would
actually pull it out. And I told her, I say, look,
and the game that's a winner, go home. It's a winner,
go home. They only do this every four years. And
It's like, I'm gonna stay on the field no matter
what whatever you got to give me, I'm staying on
(15:41):
the field. I'm not just going to bow. I'm just
like throw my hands up. And I don't want to
say that, you know, he gave up.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But I don't know what to call it. I have
no idea what to call it.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, I look, there were there we was two players
out there that were that were showing that were showing
some fiightiness. Sebastian Burholter at the game in for police,
came in for plage and and and Diego Loota, those
guys were, those guys were on it, and and those
guys or you should build around. And I think Burholz
is like applying for Canadian citizenship because he didn't want
to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Wow, I'm just saying Jack exact. Other call Colora Rockets
baseball next
