inadvertently because we we know. I mean, that's the that
play might have been catching.

You ain't no friends on the fidel. You got the
same jersey. Jersey on the field many yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
But now the running backs, you know, when you know,
what was it different for Shannon who played tight end.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But the running backs he was just like it was
all the running back.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Had the ball. Shannon didn't had the ball.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Oh so usually hit him on the way to the ball.
He's gating an extra. You know, I don't know why
I did it this, you do. I think I think
I was running over to the ball. I was running
over to get it. He was in a way, and
I think it was the ball was wa, you're throwing or something?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And he didn't say it before the play. What had
he been saying before?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It was like, I'm not saying the before and after
the game.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Of course while out there, all the crap talking is
coming from me, like a different uniform.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now you know you're on crap talk to your family.
That's that's that's fair. Well, I absolutely did. They call
you the Monopoly game at the all Bright household.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They call you the solid Assassin for a reason. They smiling.
I'm sorry, smiling.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm sorry. That's because he's smiling while he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Yeah, exactly, And I'm sure that Steve was smiling when
he ran in bertanly into I felt bad.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I believe there's the thing that is pfuddled, because I
believe that you felt bad. That's the thing. I would
not have felt bad at all.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
It didn't matter if it was my boy from from
way back, like we've got different uniforms.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well feel man, I know, man, there's no there's no
you know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We're family after the game.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
We're family before the game. Yeah, the game, you think.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Okay, when I came here from the Jets and we
played against Jets two years later and Curtis Martin was
my dude, and I would always get excused.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
With the Jets, yeah, none, that's why.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
What's he got to do with that?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He did? We won?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
We won.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, that's what he did.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's what he did.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Tell me that says.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Did that to me.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
He says, hit me.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
With the whole fame, super Bowl flat.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Jackets, jackets, you got it exactly.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
He hit me with Adam West batman, bend the face
the face. We winning together, man, yo, we want I
won games with Curtis Martin, right, And Curtis Martin even
gave me his shoes when he rushed for ten thousand yards. Right,
he gave me his shoes. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Okay, tide note you know what get on anyway right now,
right now?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
If you if you go back to the if you
go to the Jets facility behind the glass plate, they
have a pair of shoes, but they are the ones.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They're not the ones I thought it was saying, like
the Curtis Martin shoes and then in small print below
courtesy of Nick Ferguson, he signed.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Them and it still has a dirt in the grass
on the shoes.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
But my point is as great as the guy that
Curtis was when we played against him, he was just
another dude until after the game.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Okay, that's the way I looked at it.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
That's the way I am about stuff though, Like I'm
and I know you you we're both competitive people and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Like that as well. A nice guy. Come on, man,
that's the game the boys, man, my boys, take this
here right here.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Let's think about this. If Shannon called a pass over,
you think Shannon would care? He didn't care.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did look like that on the first plan game?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He did not. He dies.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm just saying, how many Super Bowls? How many do you.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
See next time he's bringing the rig?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
He just there's no comeback to that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
There s You just look at your eyes and then
let many go. Jackets.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
You got a fire I can say that because everybody
on our team gotta read that's fair.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Okay, all right, the gold dual jacket thing doesn't work. Still,
this dude's gonna show up. Heiod he's gonna have like
two cases. He's gonna slip one should directly open it up.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
It's different, man, when you when you when you've you've
been through the fire.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Bro, I can't.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I get that from every perspective in life, like I
get that from winning state championship, my.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
High I get it. But no, you're on the opposite
side of the field.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
You're on the opposite side of the field, so you
take it easy on it because he was a former teammate.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I don't know if I took it easy, but I
felt bad. He regretted having made that hit because I
could have avoided because he didn't have a ball. Did
he say something after you hit him? Was he like, damn,
he say anything? We got we boys?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Then there you go see, And he didn't say anything
to you.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I never said after the game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm like, twenty years later, he can call you up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
No, no, no, look look man, you talk about that.
It wouldn't make him hit or anything. But it was
like I could have. I didn't even have to do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It, So I remember, see it, hold on for.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Years, paying attention to how Steve is describing this. Steve
said he didn't have to, but at the end of
the day, he did, right.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
He did, he did.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There was something about you to say, you know what, Yeah,
I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm already make this play.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I'm already here.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I've been there, Steve, I've been there. You're already there,
so you might as well make your presence known.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
But did you feel bad? No?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
See, that's the difference between me and you. Right, you're
a nice guy and I'm not. I got a devil
on his shoulder and another worse right here.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Both like to make the hit it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's like that meme with the guy's sweat and he's
got the two red buttons, but both the buttons are
doing It's.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Not hard, man, Just pick one. Yeah, I look, we
got we got Broncos Ravens coming off this week.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I looking at the last couple of games, I'm a
little I want to buy in.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I'm not ready to buy in because we just beat
up on two bad teams. We beat all on two
underhanded teams. Yeah, they had a few injuries, but guess
what you gotta. I'm not gonna have at them for
beating the teams they put in front of them.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But I don't have the confidence going into the Baltimore
game that I should off two games like that.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah, I mean, I would imagine a whole bunch of
the Cleveland Browns fans felt the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I think they had a lot of confidence that they said,
so they saw Sean Watson down in that offense took
did not have confidence.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
They said they set a bad quarterback down and put
a good one in and you saw what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Maybe you said they were confident that Jamis Wists go
go in there and win. I think there was a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I saw a lot on socials.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't think I didn't ask this question a fantasy
team Cleveland. No you didn't. You got they can show you.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Instead instead of the Cleveland Browns your question being confident.
I think they were more or less hopeful, because I
don't think the Cleveland Browns fans thought that they were.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Going to play that The way that they hopeful is
probably bad way put because they.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Got back for the game and they got in James Winston.
So they had to feel that didn't renewed sense of optimism.
They felt hopeful, they knew they were going to eat
it up. They felt Yes, was the.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Cringiest speeches man one. I mean, I'm like, man, I
thought Russes were cording this. Dude's got some corny, corny speeches.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
But whatever it was, called it corny or not, it worked.
I guess yes, because it was dropped.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
The passes they made some.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
That I can't remember his name, real tall safety. Yes,
he dropped a clear interception the very next play.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It was a touchdown by cleaning ground. That's how quick
it can happen.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What I feeling?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Oh no, right, wait, we're off wanting somebody got a
touch tudy on your right.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I ain't get that forced me. I dropped one in
the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, but fortunately it's gone.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What would you what went through your mind at that
moment when you dropped it?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, i've seen the ring player is I dropped that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I look over and Ray Krockton look get right in
my face, like, man, what that?
Speaker 9 (10:31):
You better put twenty five grand in this movie right now?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Steve looking, it was over.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It was over for me.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Listen, Zach, you're behind the glass.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
If anything happened in here, we have plosible deniability.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
We didn't see your thing. Somehow, the wind, the weather
cut out the lights.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
We didn't see Steve that water through VisMin all right
through the glass.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Did not see a thing. Oh, you got me. I
put him on.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He stuffed you a lot of my chair. He had
that look on his face every detail, right, Oh, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I was.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I wouldn't even fake with the I would fake with
the money. I didn't realize that was okay.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
The look on Steve's face, it was like, who wants
to be a millionaire. He's had that millionaire.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Dollar question and he picks the road answer right, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Exactly what the US still got the wrong answer. Boy,
I don't even know what he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
The look is funny because the look he was doing
was the disgusted look on Y Crockett's face.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But then I saw the disgusted look on Steve. I
want his face looking changed.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Ray said, you couldn't invest him up.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Steve didn't expect that. He didn't expect that.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The audience probablydn't either. They're probably listening right there laughing.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
At dang, but go back for a second.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So Krogen looks at you, and then I'm like, damn,
when the Super Bowl, I dropped his pig and I
go through the sideline.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Mike Shanahan got that look. Okay, it's like the one
you just came.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Everyone is for a second. Tell tell me this. So
Mike didn't say a word. He just looked at you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, I'm sure he's saying something. I think he's saying something.
I don't know exactly what he said.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't know basically what he was saying.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You better catch that damn that ball, that darn ball. Yeah. Yeah,
but I was I was more disappointed than they were.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You know, I just remember, because I've seen that replay
a few times. I remember seeing you and how mad
you were.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
That I knew the play, I knew what was cap
I was was good something, the anticipation we all knew.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Just your hands didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
What.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm not catching this ball, man.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's it's it looks like a tough game.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I mean, the Baltimore does look like a football team
that's that's capable of challenging for a supper.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I know they lost to the Browns this week and
all that kind of stuff. And Labar.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Had a rest day to day. It wasn't really arrest day.
They're nursing a little something. We'll see if that affects.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Him going into the end of the game.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
But I I still look at this and I'm like, man,
even though Baltimore's secondary is bad, and it's bad, you know,
and and even if even if Lamar's a little tweaked.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Like I, I want to believe, but I can't let
my heart be broken against Steve.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, you know, they're.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
They're a good football team. You know, in a rezon
they they they're at the top league or the top three.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And there's number one in yards per play. We are
number one.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
We are number one defense against yards play. So it's
an unstoppable force against the immovable objects.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But I think if we look at both sides of
the ball, I mean, their front seven is still really
good even if their secondary is not that great.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And you know, I it's it's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
An early game. It's in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't know, don't. I mean the Brookers did win
in the early games in New York and and Tampa
this year.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Yeah, yeah, And you know, get out there and get
acclimated to the environment.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Man, and hey, guys, come out and lay it online.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And in order to be a great team, you're gonna
have to be some of these teams.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And hey, it starts this week. What if they do win?
If they do if the Brookers win this game, what
as I say, like, because.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I think that's where the switch flips for any petty
still straddling defense on this football.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And we all know that anything can happen. You know it, Ben,
I've seen it. I've seen it. Anything can happen. You
put your money, your mouth is.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
I have been known to do such things. Okay, all right,
I might have taken the Broncos and the points. Wasn't
confident enough to do the money line? Yeah, you know what,
I feel bad. I'm not a better anyway. I don't
even know what that means.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Okay, So you can take the Broncos to win outright, right,
You can take the Broncos to win outright, or you
can take the Broncos and that's called the money line,
and then you'll win outright.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
What's difference between winning outright and winning well?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Winning outright is just winning basically, or you could do
the spread where based on Vegas's perception of the game
and the betting thugty, then you get either get a
certain number of points or give a certain number of
points in the space like get ten points. So I
get the Broncos and if they lose by nine, I
still win.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Okay, Okay nine or less, Okay, I still win.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So here's an interesting thing about Sunny's matchup.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
When you look at Baltimore as far as points giving up,
they are somewhat at the bottom of the lead when
you look at points giving up, when you look at
how they played defensively against the run number one, and
when you think about what the Broncos have wanted to
do over the past couple of weeks, starting with the
(16:14):
Thursday nine game against the Saints, that's the first time
we saw Javonte have one of those Javonte.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Type of games, being able to run and run the ball.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I think he scored two rushing touchdowns in that game
up until that point. His only touchdown with the passing
touchdown I believe maybe in the Tampa game.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
So this is where the Broncos are going to be challenged.
So the situation for coach Payden. How creative can you
become with your passing game to free guys up. There
are going to be multiple opportunities and they don't even
try to run.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, yes, you run, but you got to be judicious
when you run, and you've got to you have to
have success with your brother. The Ravens are number one
against the run in the league and they're the worst
team against the past.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
And Rokwan Smith is one of I think, if not well,
he's number two in the league. As far as tackles
are concerned. That brother roams from sideline to sideline. When
he comes down here, he's come. He reminds you a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I mean it's it's a lesser version, but reminds you
a little bit of Patrick Willis.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You know a guy who's outside. Yeah, I watched Willis
back at college.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I watched him get twenty one tackles in the first
half of the football game one time. Twenty eight twenty
one in the first half of a football game.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
It was against Hogs twenty one tackles in the first
half because they just kept running and what they did
was aghast him.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They kept running.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Felix and Derek to the outside it run him by
the second half, he was just so gastic.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The Broncos are going to have to find a way
to keep Baltimore honors with the run game, because if
they don't, because of how active Rokwan is in the
passing game. I can see him getting in those passing windows,
the dig windows, the slant windows, and being impactful where
he can create turnovers.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And right now, Baltimore they're.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Plus two and turnover differential right now, the Broncos are
at zero right now, and that's.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Because we've had a lot of fumbles. You look at Courtland,
you look at Little Jordan. Last game, the running back
estimates had some fumble problems. That's the one area I'm
a little bit concerned about with this thing is especially
you cough it up early and Baltimore gets a lead,
they're going to run it down your throat and it's
it's over at that point.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Is Sean Payton you mentioned that at the press conference today,
just talking about we can't have those turnovers against a
really good tea.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
He said it was at the interview with Dave Logan
on the radio. He said, look, we got receiver.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
We can't be saying my bad anymore, we go find
new receivers if that's case.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And I was like, oh, okay, I mean yeah, I
mean you got to make the plays when they're there,
and you got to make sure, especially offensively, that you
hold on hold on to the ball.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Obviously the worst thing anybody wants to do is turn
the ball over.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, this is this is not the game with that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Yeah, so we gotta we gotta hold on the ball.
I'm a hold out of this chair. I hope that
Steve doesn't destroy me during the break.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Here we come back. Rocos Country Night came with.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
One person in Colorado in Mesa County, The Center's weeks
long investigation led to today's announcement McDonald's and Taylor Farms
of Colorado Springs removed the onions from their operations. Officials

homes threatened by the Highland Lakes Fire Divide.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Fire Chief JT.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
McCloud says they maintain a task force of fire crews
working on hotspots.
Speaker 14 (19:29):
We wanted to have that in place before we allowed
our residents back in, and now we are.

in Denver. Our next update at seven, I'm Kathy Walker
on Kowa News Talk Sports. Let's get a check now
on traffic with Dave o Brien.
Speaker 14 (20:17):
Traffic is moving a little better along I twenty five
as the afternoon rush hour starts to thin out a bit.
Traffic still very heavy and moving slower than normal on
northbound eight twenty five from a Rappahoe to Evans and
again from.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Broadway into downtown.
Speaker 14 (20:29):
Southbound E twenty five is heavy from Santa Fe to
Evans and again from Orchard all the way down to
Castle Rock. The left lane of westbound I seventy is
blocked at Washington.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Street for debris clean up.
Speaker 14 (20:38):
Traffic is moving pretty well by that, just move over
to the right to get beyond it, and it is
getting a little ugly in High Country. Eastbound I seventy
is closed approaching the Eisenhower Tunnel because of multiple jackknife semis.
Traffic is backed up all the way into Frisco. This

and ninety four one FM.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Come on, man, I went to the TVC news and
the tit come back, but time don't call it a coupback?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
What Broccos country tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I did survive the break. Steve held me in headlock
the entire time. That didn't happen. I didn't you didn't
see anything. I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
You can't snitch either, So I didn't see anything, you say,
I don't know which time.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Then you just heard I didn't hear it, playing star
did you hear you didn't hear it?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Snitch.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I don't myself want to become a snitch. See there,
you see say you can trust somebody? On the text
line asks.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
If Zach can even grow a mustache, not a good
one like Halffish City. This this nonsense right here. This
is this is a this is a good, solid two
weeks of growth. Here it is horrible.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Those are basic building blocks.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
This is this is the end of the story.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
You used to have had bring for hashtag bring Fergs
beard back.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Yes, I once upon a time I did have hair
on my face in a beard.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So what happened? Why did you do it? He got
tired of it.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
I decided it was it was time. I kept looking
at photos of me without it, and it was just like, man,
I remember a time when I was clean shaven.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I like that guy. Okay, Yes, so you feel better
when you look yourself in the morning.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yeah, I feel better every morning, but I just don't
have a beard.
Speaker 16 (22:54):
Yes, so you felt good even with well, I mean
I felt good with with with without the beer, but
I would just kind of looking back at those times
because but when you have a beard, I mean you
have to take care of it.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
You have to edge it up like like like Ben,
but he's growing on his face.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He is never on the.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I'm like, dude, if you're gonna grow it out, at
least make it look decent.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Beard hair left, Like, Okay, if you're gonna wear a suit,
which we've seen Ben wear suits right, elaborate colors, but
it's als.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
It's tailor. It's not like you exactly.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
You're not with with with your with your pants drooping,
with this, with the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Fat sides and all that. Just the same thing with
your face, right, I mean naturally does whatever. Man, you say,
my face is fatasy. I didn't say that feelings over here.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I just say I said no down here on the
bottom of the neck. Man, did you ever hear me
say any of that?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Steve here, it's teens, say Louis over there. He knows
the code. I don't hear it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
He knows the code.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Okay, five six sixty nine zero is a text line.
A sixty two says Ben, you don't give the Broncos
credit for beating on weak teams.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know, Bat and I.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
When the Ravens have loss against the Browns and Raiders,
come on, Benjamin, a wet blanket, all bright, that's fair,
that's a fair crisis.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I did not.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I still I've seen the Ravens and how they win,
and I look at that and I'm like, they are
capable of winning every game, even if they do drop
some dumbins.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So they lose their game. You don't even bad nine.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I still think they're Super Bowl contenders, just because I've
looked at him and seen that. Now that said, and
I recognize the I recognize the sort of double standard there.
I look at the Broncos and I'm like, I don't
know if they're capable of winning every game because they
do it on defense. And that's that's the thing, you know, Like,
that's that's that's where the disconnect comes from. I'm not
saying it's fair, right, I'm saying that I can. I
can under it's the perception.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I can understand that because if you look at any team,
whether it's Baltimore where there's it's the Bills, Kansas City, right,
you're looking at well, I even throw Washington out there
can the score? How are they winning? And every game
is going to be ugly. You're gonna have to win
some ugly games. Like Kansas City beat the Raiders. That
(25:16):
wasn't their best performance the game they should have lost.
But guess what they did. They now the way to win.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And I think that's I think that's the thing. I
just don't have that confidence in Denver yet.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Plus we're a defensive football team, so it's more difficult
on offense. You just need one thing to go right.
On defense, you need one thing to go wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Do you think that our offense is lacking the consistency?
We beat up on some bad team? I mean, yeah,
we hung it on.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
We hung it on a New Orleans team's missing you
know what, twenty players. We hung it on on a
Carolina team that's missing fifteen players that wasn't good to
begin with. We hung it on a Bucks team that
was missing six defensive starters.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Like, okay, so we need Baltimore. I'm changing my tune.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
We changed to them.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Say oh lot, I mean that depends on how they
do it.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But you can't is that Baltimore with the Jackson or
Josh Johnson.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, if it's Josh Johnson, that's a different story. If
it's Lamarg, if it's a if it's a full Baltimore KOs. Okay,
all right, you got me, Yeah you did.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You were like, you know what, And I'm confident going
into Kansas City only.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Waiting to get my heart crushed again.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
But you know, at that point, I have something that tangile,
tangible to hang it on, like the flukey both kickers
missing field goals against the Jets thing.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
You know, I think what it comes down to what
we're implying, it's every single team needs a marquee win, right, win.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
That's what I need, A signature win, not beating up
three bet three depleted teams and having a fluky kicker.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
O me. I'm gonna take away anything from the Broncos
because you play who you have to play, take away
from the right, but you need that that mark he
meant win that signifies to the organization and the players.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You are right there.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm sure you're.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, And I'm sure one of those wins.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
And I'm sure the players are are looking forward to
that as well, you know, because they hear what everybody
saying hear. Oh yeah, man, all the team they've beating.
Everybody's hurt. Okay, we're going to beat a team that's
one hundred percent Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
And I don't want to take away because you still
beat the Saints on the road on Thursday night, you
still beat the Carroll, You check the boxes. I'm gonna
try to take away from that. And what I'm trying
to say is like, I just there. I haven't had
the win that.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I have confidence in yet. I'll tell you when that
win on.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Super Bowl fifty was that when Kansas City when they
fumbled the ball, Yeah, and they picked it up. At
that moment, I was like, Okay, this team is special.
Even though it's defensive. It's making things happen on defense,
and I have the confidence that even if it comes down, they'll.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Find a way to make a play. I don't have
that yet in this team.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You see. That takes me back to Super Bowl fifty teen.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
That's what's talking about because because you knew that at
some point, regardless of the also was making on defense,
was going to make a play. You didn't know who
and when it was coming, but you knew that someone
was going to make a play, and you typically it did,
so someone did.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
It was at Kansas City game where it was like,
this team had this team if they're if they stay healthy,
this team is capable. This team has plenty of talent.
They've got a great defense.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I got you know, we've got talent, But I don't
have that confidence yet because I don't have that moment that.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I'm like that.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
If you saw more from our officeive guys who have potential.
We have a lot of guys on office on office
side who but I know what you're saying, you got
you want to see them show me.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I'm just saying, like, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
It's it's not, it's not you know, some people categorize
that it's hating.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Or whatever else.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But at the end of the day, I just like
I need.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That that moment has a click.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Maybe it's a clicked for some people in the fan base,
it isn't like, let me tell me honest about the
fan base.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Sometimes sometimes individually the fan base because they want something
so much so they so they're not being you know,
looking things at things from a reality standpoint, and that's
what they need. Because if the Broncos go to Baltimore
East Coast trip and continue to win like they've done
on the road so far, and you beat a healthy
(28:59):
Baltimore rate his team, that's going to change a lot
of the talking.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Part as the country and now you're gonna take a
lot and now you've got expectation on you too, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Okay, the other part of this is Broncos.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
That's the second part, right, That's the other thing the
Broncos been, you know, I mean, nobody expects anything out
of them, So if they get wins, they snuck up
on somebody, which I think is dumb because you look
at this defense and the defense they sneak it up
on anybody and not anymore. But at the same time,
like there's two things. I need consistency out of the offense,
a signature win, right, and then I need them to
push through the expectations portion of it, which is the
(29:31):
second part of it. Now that you know you're the
team with the expectations on you, how do you handle
that pressure Because there's no pressure on this team right now.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
There were a five and a half point team in Vegas.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
But that's the great part of being the underdog in
any sport. No one is expecting you to do what
you're doing. But the moment that you flip the script
and you get to that point, there's a heavy burden.
I mean, look, you know all about it, the teams
that you were on, and you played on because of
the legendary players that were on the team. You when
(30:00):
you guys start winning, the expectations.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Didn't go down. No, no, no, he continued to soar
out of the room.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
But the expectations they were highest in the locker room
and amongst our coaches, and you know, everybody expected us
to be great.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You know we did too, but that's the culture. Yeah,
that's what the organization.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Trying to get back.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah. Absolutely, one hundred percent, hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
But I did.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
The one thing I did love about last week's game
is I know it was tight ends weekend, but we
need to bring tight ends the weekend back more.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Off the.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Wood player that I was whatever it is, I could
not stop laughing with Adam Trout. We caught that ball
and he was running as fast as he possibly could,
and it looked like it was in slow It looked
like a scene from Baywatch.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Because man, I was like, bless, it's hard, but you
don't have to have blazing speed. No, you don't.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But I mean it was just comical to me because
I'm like, man, that guy's slower than the molasses in January.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
But he got open and he caught the wall and
he is running.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
John Carlos Stanton, Yeah, Carlo stats trying to around a
based on third Pnecarlo, what's it?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Troubon would call him?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Caught him right now? He would have stiffed for me
through the but I would.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Have caught up.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
The utilization of the tit ends. Uh, could we have
been doing that sooner?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yes? I should we have been doing that sooner?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
And it was all without Greg Dulsig, by the way,
healthy scrats right right right, They got everybody involved to.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, Na Adkins catching kas first touchdown since high school.
By the way, I believe Lucas.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Crow had to catch.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
But that's the things the trout that could have taken
place at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It could have I'm like, dang, where's this band? Yes?
This is nice, which leads me.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
To the question, was it playing against a depleted Carolina
defense I depleted and frankly not talented Carolina.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Defense or was this all along what could have been happening.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I'm going to say that it was part of what
could have been taking place.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I think it's both.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I think it could have been taking place, and I
think we took advantage of a defense that frankly wasn't
very good.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Well hopefully, Hey, it's just a little warm up. Hopefully
we're going to see more of it. Here gets the
Ravens man.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
We'll see five, six, six, nine zeros. The text line
sixty eight two says.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
The offense has put up twenty one plus points in
five games this season, where that's fair. However, the offense
is averaging twenty one point six points total and they
are twentieth in the league in scoring.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That's bottom third. So we can hit Dave O'Brien with traffic.
We'll get more to them. We come back.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Benjamin al Brightnick Fergus, Steve at Waters, act secres back
there behind the glass. A lot of people in text
understand I'm moving the goal posts. The night saved, Oh says, wow,
the goal posts of negativity been moved. Benji is a
truly horrible human being.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, Benji was a dog. I'm Benjamin, but either that.
Later sixty eight two says, move the goal post. All bright.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
So, waiting on that college twenty five football match, I
did not realize that we had one. But I tell
you what, if you've got my you already have my
user name six eight two. If you don't, I'll send
it to you. We'll get that match. We'll get that
match going. And uh, I promise I won't throw the
ball more than five times in the game.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Will see what happens.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But you don't pass.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
No, he doesn't, bro I said, I sit in the
box the option.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I send the box scores to him, and he's like,
you're setting football back one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's like like sixty six rushes greasses.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
It's like being back at Georgia Tech and Paul Johnson
running the ball.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
There's a triple option. It's like he's exhaustive. It's like, man,
pass the damn ball.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Do something, No, sir, a whole line, pump me a
third lug and make me see.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Ben is that type of person if you're playing with
him in the game and I don't play, but just
listening to him, and it's arrogance not to say that
you would do it.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You want to throw the control at it.
Speaker 14 (33:55):
Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
You know what's my goal? People to raise points to me.
That's that's my goal, is to get you to rage
quit on me. I got to get the lead.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
But like which you got what you got to say?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
There's only going to be three possessions in the game
because I'm gonna milk the clock right.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
All the way down. So I'm gonna get the ball either.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I'm gonna get the ball first, and I'm gonna you know,
the entire first half and get a field goal or touchdown.
Then you're gonna get the ball to start the second
half and you get whatever you get, and then I'm
gonna have the ball the rest of the game, and
I'm gonna have the final score and that'll be it.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
So we used to call that star ball in high
school and basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
The team just looks at the clock and he just
driggled it out and just pass it and take a
shot right before the shot clock expires.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Man, get the ball from me, get the ball from
find a way to beat him. I'm here. I'm here
for some of the players after the game from from
the Panthers. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Yeah, a years ago when coach I think was coach
Fanjoe was here when Baltimore with.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
The I'm like, bro, you can't do that. Don't be mad.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I get better.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Nick Eyes don't must feel a certain way about that.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No, listen, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He's just.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
It's just like in college football, or even like when
I played for the Texans, there was this whole media
thing because there was a school in Texas that beat
another high school, right, and they the one high school
scored one hundred points. The other team scored like ten points.
And the controversy was why did the one coach who
(35:33):
scored was coaching the team that was very talented?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Why did they keep scoring?
Speaker 6 (35:37):
He was like, look, I took out my starters, I
put the backups in.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
What do you want me to do? Football?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Disrespectful at that point? No, no, no, not not not
you in the third quarter and you kneel in the football. Oh,
nowadays it's not many that's acceptable.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Nowadays running it up there, it's a lot more acceptable
it used to be.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I mean even back when I running up acceptable Now.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Part of it, it's part of the game.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Shot.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
We shused to take these on this boy back when
my kids don't run, nigga, don't run this car up.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
You know, well, I mean it's different if it's like
twelve year olds. But you once you get to high school, man,
like I.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Grew up in Miami.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Saying no, no, it wasn't different.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
When it's the same way.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Man, it wasn't different. Man, I'm saying it's different now.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Talk about well the pop warning kids and they only
like twelve years old and nine years old.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
You gotta let them kind of build up the conference shoe.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I'm like then, now now it is like that though,
now they got like score caps on that stuff. You
can only you know, you get to that they we're
just calling at halftime. If you get to a certain.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
That's difficult then because where I grew up, there were
a lot of street pharmaceutical reps who used to be
familiar with this, who used to make wagers.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
On the game. So you're allowing someone to score. Guess
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
There's money, lie as alf understand this, Tlly Steve.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
In my high school, they used to bet on who's
gonna win the opening tip and whether it was gonna
be a dunk. Yes, street pharmaceut sutical reps were real,
and the players knew them.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Were the players.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I was in the playing a JV game at Northwestern
High School, the school where Teddy Bridgewater coaches right now,
and I was playing for High Level High and there
was some street pharmaceutical reps standing right outside the fence,
and they were telling guys on the offense, you better
not catch those certain balls and make touchdowns because you're
not You're not gonna get back on the bus.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Guess what happened to our offense. No one was catching passes.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
That was real.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
That's exactly how I grew up.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Before you get out of here, Steve, what you show that?
Anthony Richardson checking himself out of the game.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You saw that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but he ever what
he do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I need to come out. I'm winning, I'm tired. Come on, bro,
you can't do that. Yeah, that's the That's the first
time I've ever seen that. Okay, that's where I was
going with that. I'm like, yeah, the quarterback was.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
How much running are you doing? Bro?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Stop running so much? Then you don't have to do
all that running.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Well, it was gonna. It's hard never in my life
seeing that before.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
That's what I was gonna.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
That's the reason I was asking so it's like I've
never seen it. I've never seen somebody. I saw somebody
do that when I get that bell wrong, But id dude,
Jared Lorenzen was out here at four hundred pounds running around,
you know, make a play.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Dude never tapped out.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
From that.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You had coaches that you try to come out right now,
chop like it's arrow head, you know.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Put it back over the liddle.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Do you think there's a possibility that Anthony Richardson is
able to win back his locker room at some point
based on what he did?
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Yeah, I mean with with his play and uh, you know,
his leadership, he can definitely winning back.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
He's a young guy. You know, it's early in his.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Career, but people will always remember this, I've never seen
that before.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Well I see that he got that.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
There wasn't just this like it's it's been growing in
that locker room for a while. He's just I think
he's too young to be an NFL quarterback, at least mentally,
Like he's not mature enough to handle the leadership aspect
of it.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
And I think that's I think at.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
A large part of what's going on there right now,
Like he'll get there someday, I hope, but I think
right now he's not.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
He's not ready to be a leader.
Speaker 17 (39:28):
He may get there on another team maybe, but you know,
that's I think based on some people that I talked
to up there, I think that there was a growing concern.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
And want to be there.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Well he yeah, but he doesn't understand what it takes
to be an NFL quarterback, you know. I mean, he
was the best athlete on the field in college, you know,
when he played, and now everybody's the best athlete on
the field in the pros.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And you know, how does he learn though? I mean
that's the question. But that that's a question that is
the lestion ship. I mean, who's who Flaco is the
other guy?
Speaker 4 (39:59):
He teach him how to be a back up? I mean,
come on, man, let's be remember.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Remember Joe was here.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I remember he didn't want to mentor.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Finished my job.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
So Anthony riches him with the troubles that he's having,
He's not going to be mentor.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
By Joe Joe Flacco. I think he may have.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Had a change of heart on it, I think there.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Yeah, and especially since he's been to the Jets and
the Yeah, I think I think when it comes in
we got a hit break. But I think when it
comes to that situation, I think that the main thing
they're hoping that he's learning by emulating that he sees
what Joe Flacco does and recognizes there are some things
that he needs, some checkboxes he needs to be doing
because I think he I don't say he lost the
locker room, but I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
You know, there were some people that were unhappy with
the way he was running.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
He's lost the locker room. I wouldn't try to say it.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Then you can say I would.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
We appreciate it as always, Brocos Country to Night's got
any better debt when we come back
Broncos to help receive us on the official home of
the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (00:13):

You didn't didn't even great, didn't even leave the stash
for him.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
That's need to wear a fake stash in here, just
to make it make it seem like it's grand five.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Six six nights. The text one. You guys wanna get
involved the conversation.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Any been at detO Gonna join us top of the
next hour, talk a little bit about the nuggets and
they start there off too. Scotty Barnes, by the way,
has a out three weeks. They fractured orbital socket after
you should have caught him with the elbow.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Why do you why did you preface it by saying
inadvertently because we we know. I mean, that's the that
play might have been catching.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That might be catching that elbow. He was over pedals back.
I think it was like it was hit bar. But
he said that I was trying to get you. I
don't even trying to get you. Man.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
That's pretty you know that basketball like we would never say, well,
I inadvertently hit someone.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, it was intense all those shots at the bottom
of the pile too.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
You know, sometimes you play against so some of your
boys you played with. I remember when I was with
the Jets who came back and we played the.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Broncos and Shannon.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Him.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
But yeah, like, dang man, I shouldn't even did that.
Did you tell him that's my guy?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Did you tell him that? No? No, no, I didn't even
talk about it. But I didn't I shouldn't have.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Wait, Steve, what do you mean you shouldn't have He's
running a different uniform.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I know, but I just that's my boy.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You ain't no friends on the fidel. You got the
same jersey. Jersey on the field many yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
But now the running backs, you know, when you know,
what was it different for Shannon who played tight end.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
But the running backs he was just like it was
all the running back.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Had the ball. Shannon didn't had the ball.
Speaker 8 (02:25):
Oh so usually hit him on the way to the ball.
He's gating an extra. You know, I don't know why
I did it this, you do. I think I think
I was running over to the ball. I was running
over to get it. He was in a way, and
I think it was the ball was wa, you're throwing or something?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And he didn't say it before the play. What had
he been saying before?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It was like, I'm not saying the before and after
the game.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Of course while out there, all the crap talking is
coming from me, like a different uniform.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Now you know you're on crap talk to your family.
That's that's that's fair. Well, I absolutely did. They call
you the Monopoly game at the all Bright household.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They call you the solid Assassin for a reason. They smiling.
I'm sorry, smiling.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm sorry. That's because he's smiling while he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Yeah, exactly, And I'm sure that Steve was smiling when
he ran in bertanly into I felt bad.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I believe there's the thing that is pfuddled, because I
believe that you felt bad. That's the thing. I would
not have felt bad at all.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
It didn't matter if it was my boy from from
way back, like we've got different uniforms.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well feel man, I know, man, there's no there's no
you know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We're family after the game.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
We're family before the game. Yeah, the game, you think.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Okay, when I came here from the Jets and we
played against Jets two years later and Curtis Martin was
my dude, and I would always get excused.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
With the Jets, yeah, none, that's why.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
What's he got to do with that?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He did? We won?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
We won.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yeah, that's what he did.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That's what he did.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Tell me that says.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Did that to me.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
He says, hit me.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
With the whole fame, super Bowl flat.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Jackets, jackets, you got it exactly.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
He hit me with Adam West batman, bend the face
the face. We winning together, man, yo, we want I
won games with Curtis Martin, right, And Curtis Martin even
gave me his shoes when he rushed for ten thousand yards. Right,
he gave me his shoes. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Okay, tide note you know what get on anyway right now,
right now?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
If you if you go back to the if you
go to the Jets facility behind the glass plate, they
have a pair of shoes, but they are the ones.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They're not the ones I thought it was saying, like
the Curtis Martin shoes and then in small print below
courtesy of Nick Ferguson, he signed.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Them and it still has a dirt in the grass
on the shoes.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
But my point is as great as the guy that
Curtis was when we played against him, he was just
another dude until after the game.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Okay, that's the way I looked at it.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
That's the way I am about stuff though, Like I'm
and I know you you we're both competitive people and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Like that as well. A nice guy. Come on, man,
that's the game the boys, man, my boys, take this
here right here.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Let's think about this. If Shannon called a pass over,
you think Shannon would care? He didn't care.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Did look like that on the first plan game?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
He did not. He dies.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'm just saying, how many Super Bowls? How many do you.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
See next time he's bringing the rig?
Speaker 6 (05:50):
He just there's no comeback to that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
There s You just look at your eyes and then
let many go. Jackets.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
You got a fire I can say that because everybody
on our team gotta read that's fair.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Okay, all right, the gold dual jacket thing doesn't work. Still,
this dude's gonna show up. Heiod he's gonna have like
two cases. He's gonna slip one should directly open it up.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
It's different, man, when you when you when you've you've
been through the fire.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Bro, I can't.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
I get that from every perspective in life, like I
get that from winning state championship, my.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
High I get it. But no, you're on the opposite
side of the field.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
You're on the opposite side of the field, so you
take it easy on it because he was a former teammate.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I don't know if I took it easy, but I
felt bad. He regretted having made that hit because I
could have avoided because he didn't have a ball. Did
he say something after you hit him? Was he like, damn,
he say anything? We got we boys?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Then there you go see, And he didn't say anything
to you.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I never said after the game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm like, twenty years later, he can call you up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
No, no, no, look look man, you talk about that.
It wouldn't make him hit or anything. But it was
like I could have. I didn't even have to do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It, So I remember, see it, hold on for.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Years, paying attention to how Steve is describing this. Steve
said he didn't have to, but at the end of
the day, he did, right.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
He did, he did.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There was something about you to say, you know what, Yeah,
I shouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm already make this play.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I'm already here.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I've been there, Steve, I've been there. You're already there,
so you might as well make your presence known.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
But did you feel bad? No?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
See, that's the difference between me and you. Right, you're
a nice guy and I'm not. I got a devil
on his shoulder and another worse right here.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Both like to make the hit it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's like that meme with the guy's sweat and he's
got the two red buttons, but both the buttons are
doing It's.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Not hard, man, Just pick one. Yeah, I look, we
got we got Broncos Ravens coming off this week.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I looking at the last couple of games, I'm a
little I want to buy in.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I'm not ready to buy in because we just beat
up on two bad teams. We beat all on two
underhanded teams. Yeah, they had a few injuries, but guess
what you gotta. I'm not gonna have at them for
beating the teams they put in front of them.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But I don't have the confidence going into the Baltimore
game that I should off two games like that.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah, I mean, I would imagine a whole bunch of
the Cleveland Browns fans felt the same way.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I think they had a lot of confidence that they said,
so they saw Sean Watson down in that offense took
did not have confidence.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
They said they set a bad quarterback down and put
a good one in and you saw what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Maybe you said they were confident that Jamis Wists go
go in there and win. I think there was a lot.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I saw a lot on socials.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't think I didn't ask this question a fantasy
team Cleveland. No you didn't. You got they can show you.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
Instead instead of the Cleveland Browns your question being confident.
I think they were more or less hopeful, because I
don't think the Cleveland Browns fans thought that they were.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Going to play that The way that they hopeful is
probably bad way put because they.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Got back for the game and they got in James Winston.
So they had to feel that didn't renewed sense of optimism.
They felt hopeful, they knew they were going to eat
it up. They felt Yes, was the.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Cringiest speeches man one. I mean, I'm like, man, I
thought Russes were cording this. Dude's got some corny, corny speeches.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
But whatever it was, called it corny or not, it worked.
I guess yes, because it was dropped.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
The passes they made some.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
That I can't remember his name, real tall safety. Yes,
he dropped a clear interception the very next play.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It was a touchdown by cleaning ground. That's how quick
it can happen.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
What I feeling?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Oh no, right, wait, we're off wanting somebody got a
touch tudy on your right.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I ain't get that forced me. I dropped one in
the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, but fortunately it's gone.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What would you what went through your mind at that
moment when you dropped it?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, i've seen the ring player is I dropped that?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I look over and Ray Krockton look get right in
my face, like, man, what that?
Speaker 9 (10:31):
You better put twenty five grand in this movie right now?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Steve looking, it was over.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
It was over for me.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Listen, Zach, you're behind the glass.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
If anything happened in here, we have plosible deniability.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
We didn't see your thing. Somehow, the wind, the weather
cut out the lights.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
We didn't see Steve that water through VisMin all right
through the glass.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Did not see a thing. Oh, you got me. I
put him on.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He stuffed you a lot of my chair. He had
that look on his face every detail, right, Oh, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I was.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I wouldn't even fake with the I would fake with
the money. I didn't realize that was okay.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
The look on Steve's face, it was like, who wants
to be a millionaire. He's had that millionaire.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Dollar question and he picks the road answer right, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Exactly what the US still got the wrong answer. Boy,
I don't even know what he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
The look is funny because the look he was doing
was the disgusted look on Y Crockett's face.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But then I saw the disgusted look on Steve. I
want his face looking changed.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Ray said, you couldn't invest him up.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Steve didn't expect that. He didn't expect that.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The audience probablydn't either. They're probably listening right there laughing.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
At dang, but go back for a second.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
So Krogen looks at you, and then I'm like, damn,
when the Super Bowl, I dropped his pig and I
go through the sideline.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Mike Shanahan got that look. Okay, it's like the one
you just came.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Everyone is for a second. Tell tell me this. So
Mike didn't say a word. He just looked at you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, I'm sure he's saying something. I think he's saying something.
I don't know exactly what he said.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I don't know basically what he was saying.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You better catch that damn that ball, that darn ball. Yeah. Yeah,
but I was I was more disappointed than they were.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You know, I just remember, because I've seen that replay
a few times. I remember seeing you and how mad
you were.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
That I knew the play, I knew what was cap
I was was good something, the anticipation we all knew.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Just your hands didn't.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
What.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm not catching this ball, man.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's it's it looks like a tough game.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I mean, the Baltimore does look like a football team
that's that's capable of challenging for a supper.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I know they lost to the Browns this week and
all that kind of stuff. And Labar.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Had a rest day to day. It wasn't really arrest day.
They're nursing a little something. We'll see if that affects.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Him going into the end of the game.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
But I I still look at this and I'm like, man,
even though Baltimore's secondary is bad, and it's bad, you know,
and and even if even if Lamar's a little tweaked.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Like I, I want to believe, but I can't let
my heart be broken against Steve.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I can't.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, you know, they're.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
They're a good football team. You know, in a rezon
they they they're at the top league or the top three.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And there's number one in yards per play. We are
number one.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
We are number one defense against yards play. So it's
an unstoppable force against the immovable objects.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And I love that.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But I think if we look at both sides of
the ball, I mean, their front seven is still really
good even if their secondary is not that great.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And you know, I it's it's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
An early game. It's in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I don't know, don't. I mean the Brookers did win
in the early games in New York and and Tampa
this year.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Yeah, yeah, And you know, get out there and get
acclimated to the environment.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Man, and hey, guys, come out and lay it online.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And in order to be a great team, you're gonna
have to be some of these teams.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And hey, it starts this week. What if they do win?
If they do if the Brookers win this game, what
as I say, like, because.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I think that's where the switch flips for any petty
still straddling defense on this football.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And we all know that anything can happen. You know it, Ben,
I've seen it. I've seen it. Anything can happen. You
put your money, your mouth is.
Speaker 11 (15:00):
I have been known to do such things. Okay, all right,
I might have taken the Broncos and the points. Wasn't
confident enough to do the money line? Yeah, you know what,
I feel bad. I'm not a better anyway. I don't
even know what that means.
Speaker 12 (15:13):
Okay, So you can take the Broncos to win outright, right,
You can take the Broncos to win outright, or you
can take the Broncos and that's called the money line,
and then you'll win outright.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
What's difference between winning outright and winning well?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Winning outright is just winning basically, or you could do
the spread where based on Vegas's perception of the game
and the betting thugty, then you get either get a
certain number of points or give a certain number of
points in the space like get ten points. So I
get the Broncos and if they lose by nine, I
still win.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Okay, Okay nine or less, Okay, I still win.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So here's an interesting thing about Sunny's matchup.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
When you look at Baltimore as far as points giving up,
they are somewhat at the bottom of the lead when
you look at points giving up, when you look at
how they played defensively against the run number one, and
when you think about what the Broncos have wanted to
do over the past couple of weeks, starting with the
(16:14):
Thursday nine game against the Saints, that's the first time
we saw Javonte have one of those Javonte.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Type of games, being able to run and run the ball.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I think he scored two rushing touchdowns in that game
up until that point. His only touchdown with the passing
touchdown I believe maybe in the Tampa game.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
So this is where the Broncos are going to be challenged.
So the situation for coach Payden. How creative can you
become with your passing game to free guys up. There
are going to be multiple opportunities and they don't even
try to run.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Well, yes, you run, but you got to be judicious
when you run, and you've got to you have to
have success with your brother. The Ravens are number one
against the run in the league and they're the worst
team against the past.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
And Rokwan Smith is one of I think, if not well,
he's number two in the league. As far as tackles
are concerned. That brother roams from sideline to sideline. When
he comes down here, he's come. He reminds you a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I mean it's it's a lesser version, but reminds you
a little bit of Patrick Willis.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You know a guy who's outside. Yeah, I watched Willis
back at college.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I watched him get twenty one tackles in the first
half of the football game one time. Twenty eight twenty
one in the first half of a football game.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
It was against Hogs twenty one tackles in the first
half because they just kept running and what they did
was aghast him.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They kept running.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Felix and Derek to the outside it run him by
the second half, he was just so gastic.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The Broncos are going to have to find a way
to keep Baltimore honors with the run game, because if
they don't, because of how active Rokwan is in the
passing game. I can see him getting in those passing windows,
the dig windows, the slant windows, and being impactful where
he can create turnovers.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And right now, Baltimore they're.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Plus two and turnover differential right now, the Broncos are
at zero right now, and that's.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Because we've had a lot of fumbles. You look at Courtland,
you look at Little Jordan. Last game, the running back
estimates had some fumble problems. That's the one area I'm
a little bit concerned about with this thing is especially
you cough it up early and Baltimore gets a lead,
they're going to run it down your throat and it's
it's over at that point.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
Is Sean Payton you mentioned that at the press conference today,
just talking about we can't have those turnovers against a
really good tea.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
He said it was at the interview with Dave Logan
on the radio. He said, look, we got receiver.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
We can't be saying my bad anymore, we go find
new receivers if that's case.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And I was like, oh, okay, I mean yeah, I
mean you got to make the plays when they're there,
and you got to make sure, especially offensively, that you
hold on hold on to the ball.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Obviously the worst thing anybody wants to do is turn
the ball over.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, this is this is not the game with that. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Yeah, so we gotta we gotta hold on the ball.
I'm a hold out of this chair. I hope that
Steve doesn't destroy me during the break.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Here we come back. Rocos Country Night came with.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
One person in Colorado in Mesa County, The Center's weeks
long investigation led to today's announcement McDonald's and Taylor Farms
of Colorado Springs removed the onions from their operations. Officials
in Taller County have lifted evacuation orders for seven hundred
homes threatened by the Highland Lakes Fire Divide.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Fire Chief JT.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
McCloud says they maintain a task force of fire crews
working on hotspots.
Speaker 14 (19:29):
We wanted to have that in place before we allowed
our residents back in, and now we are.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Very confident that we were at the eighty percent containment.
Speaker 13 (19:38):
The Highland Lakes wildfire has burned one hundred and sixty
six acres and destroyed one home. Fox thirty one pinpoint weather.
Scattered showers continuing through this evening of freeze warning overnight
with a low of twenty five.
Speaker 15 (19:51):
With the freeze warning, this is a killing freeze, So
any remaining plant you want to protect have to be
covered or brought in. You got to disconnect the hoses
and of course drain those external pipes, the feedure sprinkler system.
Speaker 13 (20:02):
That's Fox thirty one Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser. Sunny in

Speaker 14 (20:38):
Traffic is moving pretty well by that, just move over
to the right to get beyond it, and it is
getting a little ugly in High Country. Eastbound I seventy

I'm Dave O'Brien on k o A eight fifty AM
and ninety four one FM.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Come on, man, I went to the TVC news and
the tit come back, but time don't call it a coupback?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
What Broccos country tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I did survive the break. Steve held me in headlock
the entire time. That didn't happen. I didn't you didn't
see anything. I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
You can't snitch either, So I didn't see anything, you say,
I don't know which time.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Then you just heard I didn't hear it, playing star
did you hear you didn't hear it?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Snitch.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I don't myself want to become a snitch. See there,
you see say you can trust somebody? On the text
line asks.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
If Zach can even grow a mustache, not a good
one like Halffish City. This this nonsense right here. This
is this is a this is a good, solid two
weeks of growth. Here it is horrible.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Those are basic building blocks.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
This is this is the end of the story.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
You used to have had bring for hashtag bring Fergs
beard back.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Yes, I once upon a time I did have hair
on my face in a beard.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
So what happened? Why did you do it? He got
tired of it.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
I decided it was it was time. I kept looking
at photos of me without it, and it was just like, man,
I remember a time when I was clean shaven.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I like that guy. Okay, Yes, so you feel better
when you look yourself in the morning.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Yeah, I feel better every morning, but I just don't
have a beard.
Speaker 16 (22:54):
Yes, so you felt good even with well, I mean
I felt good with with with without the beer, but
I would just kind of looking back at those times
because but when you have a beard, I mean you
have to take care of it.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
You have to edge it up like like like Ben,
but he's growing on his face.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He is never on the.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I'm like, dude, if you're gonna grow it out, at
least make it look decent.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Beard hair left, Like, Okay, if you're gonna wear a suit,
which we've seen Ben wear suits right, elaborate colors, but
it's als.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
It's tailor. It's not like you exactly.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
You're not with with with your with your pants drooping,
with this, with the.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Fat sides and all that. Just the same thing with
your face, right, I mean naturally does whatever. Man, you say,
my face is fatasy. I didn't say that feelings over here.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I just say I said no down here on the
bottom of the neck. Man, did you ever hear me
say any of that?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Steve here, it's teens, say Louis over there. He knows
the code. I don't hear it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
He knows the code.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Okay, five six sixty nine zero is a text line.
A sixty two says Ben, you don't give the Broncos
credit for beating on weak teams.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know, Bat and I.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
When the Ravens have loss against the Browns and Raiders,
come on, Benjamin, a wet blanket, all bright, that's fair,
that's a fair crisis.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I did not.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I still I've seen the Ravens and how they win,
and I look at that and I'm like, they are
capable of winning every game, even if they do drop
some dumbins.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
So they lose their game. You don't even bad nine.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I still think they're Super Bowl contenders, just because I've
looked at him and seen that. Now that said, and
I recognize the I recognize the sort of double standard there.
I look at the Broncos and I'm like, I don't
know if they're capable of winning every game because they
do it on defense. And that's that's the thing, you know, Like,
that's that's that's where the disconnect comes from. I'm not
saying it's fair, right, I'm saying that I can. I
can under it's the perception.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
I can understand that because if you look at any team,
whether it's Baltimore where there's it's the Bills, Kansas City, right,
you're looking at well, I even throw Washington out there
can the score? How are they winning? And every game
is going to be ugly. You're gonna have to win
some ugly games. Like Kansas City beat the Raiders. That
(25:16):
wasn't their best performance the game they should have lost.
But guess what they did. They now the way to win.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And I think that's I think that's the thing. I
just don't have that confidence in Denver yet.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Plus we're a defensive football team, so it's more difficult
on offense. You just need one thing to go right.
On defense, you need one thing to go wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Do you think that our offense is lacking the consistency?
We beat up on some bad team? I mean, yeah,
we hung it on.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
We hung it on a New Orleans team's missing you
know what, twenty players. We hung it on on a
Carolina team that's missing fifteen players that wasn't good to
begin with. We hung it on a Bucks team that
was missing six defensive starters.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Like, okay, so we need Baltimore. I'm changing my tune.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
We changed to them.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Say oh lot, I mean that depends on how they
do it.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But you can't is that Baltimore with the Jackson or
Josh Johnson.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah, if it's Josh Johnson, that's a different story. If
it's Lamarg, if it's a if it's a full Baltimore KOs. Okay,
all right, you got me, Yeah you did.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You were like, you know what, And I'm confident going
into Kansas City only.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Waiting to get my heart crushed again.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
But you know, at that point, I have something that tangile,
tangible to hang it on, like the flukey both kickers
missing field goals against the Jets thing.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
You know, I think what it comes down to what
we're implying, it's every single team needs a marquee win, right, win.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
That's what I need, A signature win, not beating up
three bet three depleted teams and having a fluky kicker.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
O me. I'm gonna take away anything from the Broncos
because you play who you have to play, take away
from the right, but you need that that mark he
meant win that signifies to the organization and the players.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You are right there.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I'm sure you're.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, And I'm sure one of those wins.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
And I'm sure the players are are looking forward to
that as well, you know, because they hear what everybody
saying hear. Oh yeah, man, all the team they've beating.
Everybody's hurt. Okay, we're going to beat a team that's
one hundred percent Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
And I don't want to take away because you still
beat the Saints on the road on Thursday night, you
still beat the Carroll, You check the boxes. I'm gonna
try to take away from that. And what I'm trying
to say is like, I just there. I haven't had
the win that.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I have confidence in yet. I'll tell you when that
win on.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Super Bowl fifty was that when Kansas City when they
fumbled the ball, Yeah, and they picked it up. At
that moment, I was like, Okay, this team is special.
Even though it's defensive. It's making things happen on defense,
and I have the confidence that even if it comes down, they'll.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Find a way to make a play. I don't have
that yet in this team.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You see. That takes me back to Super Bowl fifty teen.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
That's what's talking about because because you knew that at
some point, regardless of the also was making on defense,
was going to make a play. You didn't know who
and when it was coming, but you knew that someone
was going to make a play, and you typically it did,
so someone did.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
It was at Kansas City game where it was like,
this team had this team if they're if they stay healthy,
this team is capable. This team has plenty of talent.
They've got a great defense.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I got you know, we've got talent, But I don't
have that confidence yet because I don't have that moment that.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I'm like that.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
If you saw more from our officeive guys who have potential.
We have a lot of guys on office on office
side who but I know what you're saying, you got
you want to see them show me.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
I'm just saying, like, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
It's it's not, it's not you know, some people categorize
that it's hating.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Or whatever else.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But at the end of the day, I just like
I need.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
That that moment has a click.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Maybe it's a clicked for some people in the fan base,
it isn't like, let me tell me honest about the
fan base.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Sometimes sometimes individually the fan base because they want something
so much so they so they're not being you know,
looking things at things from a reality standpoint, and that's
what they need. Because if the Broncos go to Baltimore
East Coast trip and continue to win like they've done
on the road so far, and you beat a healthy
(28:59):
Baltimore rate his team, that's going to change a lot
of the talking.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Part as the country and now you're gonna take a
lot and now you've got expectation on you too, you know.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Okay, the other part of this is Broncos.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
That's the second part, right, That's the other thing the
Broncos been, you know, I mean, nobody expects anything out
of them, So if they get wins, they snuck up
on somebody, which I think is dumb because you look
at this defense and the defense they sneak it up
on anybody and not anymore. But at the same time,
like there's two things. I need consistency out of the offense,
a signature win, right, and then I need them to
push through the expectations portion of it, which is the
(29:31):
second part of it. Now that you know you're the
team with the expectations on you, how do you handle
that pressure Because there's no pressure on this team right now.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
There were a five and a half point team in Vegas.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
But that's the great part of being the underdog in
any sport. No one is expecting you to do what
you're doing. But the moment that you flip the script
and you get to that point, there's a heavy burden.
I mean, look, you know all about it, the teams
that you were on, and you played on because of
the legendary players that were on the team. You when
(30:00):
you guys start winning, the expectations.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Didn't go down. No, no, no, he continued to soar
out of the room.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
But the expectations they were highest in the locker room
and amongst our coaches, and you know, everybody expected us
to be great.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You know we did too, but that's the culture. Yeah,
that's what the organization.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Trying to get back.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah. Absolutely, one hundred percent, hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
But I did.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
The one thing I did love about last week's game
is I know it was tight ends weekend, but we
need to bring tight ends the weekend back more.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Off the.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Wood player that I was whatever it is, I could
not stop laughing with Adam Trout. We caught that ball
and he was running as fast as he possibly could,
and it looked like it was in slow It looked
like a scene from Baywatch.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Because man, I was like, bless, it's hard, but you
don't have to have blazing speed. No, you don't.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But I mean it was just comical to me because
I'm like, man, that guy's slower than the molasses in January.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
But he got open and he caught the wall and
he is running.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
John Carlos Stanton, Yeah, Carlo stats trying to around a
based on third Pnecarlo, what's it?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Troubon would call him?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Caught him right now? He would have stiffed for me
through the but I would.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Have caught up.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
The utilization of the tit ends. Uh, could we have
been doing that sooner?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yes? I should we have been doing that sooner?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
And it was all without Greg Dulsig, by the way,
healthy scrats right right right, They got everybody involved to.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, Na Adkins catching kas first touchdown since high school.
By the way, I believe Lucas.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Crow had to catch.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
But that's the things the trout that could have taken
place at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It could have I'm like, dang, where's this band? Yes?
This is nice, which leads me.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
To the question, was it playing against a depleted Carolina
defense I depleted and frankly not talented Carolina.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Defense or was this all along what could have been happening.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I'm going to say that it was part of what
could have been taking place.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I think it's both.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
I think it could have been taking place, and I
think we took advantage of a defense that frankly wasn't
very good.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Well hopefully, Hey, it's just a little warm up. Hopefully
we're going to see more of it. Here gets the
Ravens man.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
We'll see five, six, six, nine zeros. The text line
sixty eight two says.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
The offense has put up twenty one plus points in
five games this season, where that's fair. However, the offense
is averaging twenty one point six points total and they
are twentieth in the league in scoring.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That's bottom third. So we can hit Dave O'Brien with traffic.
We'll get more to them. We come back.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Benjamin al Brightnick Fergus, Steve at Waters, act secres back
there behind the glass. A lot of people in text
understand I'm moving the goal posts. The night saved, Oh says, wow,
the goal posts of negativity been moved. Benji is a
truly horrible human being.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Well, Benji was a dog. I'm Benjamin, but either that.
Later sixty eight two says, move the goal post. All bright.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
So, waiting on that college twenty five football match, I
did not realize that we had one. But I tell
you what, if you've got my you already have my
user name six eight two. If you don't, I'll send
it to you. We'll get that match. We'll get that
match going. And uh, I promise I won't throw the
ball more than five times in the game.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Will see what happens.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
But you don't pass.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
No, he doesn't, bro I said, I sit in the
box the option.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
I send the box scores to him, and he's like,
you're setting football back one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's like like sixty six rushes greasses.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
It's like being back at Georgia Tech and Paul Johnson
running the ball.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
There's a triple option. It's like he's exhaustive. It's like, man,
pass the damn ball.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Do something, No, sir, a whole line, pump me a
third lug and make me see.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Ben is that type of person if you're playing with
him in the game and I don't play, but just
listening to him, and it's arrogance not to say that
you would do it.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You want to throw the control at it.
Speaker 14 (33:55):
Oh, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
You know what's my goal? People to raise points to me.
That's that's my goal, is to get you to rage
quit on me. I got to get the lead.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
But like which you got what you got to say?
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
There's only going to be three possessions in the game
because I'm gonna milk the clock right.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
All the way down. So I'm gonna get the ball either.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
I'm gonna get the ball first, and I'm gonna you know,
the entire first half and get a field goal or touchdown.
Then you're gonna get the ball to start the second
half and you get whatever you get, and then I'm
gonna have the ball the rest of the game, and
I'm gonna have the final score and that'll be it.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
So we used to call that star ball in high
school and basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
The team just looks at the clock and he just
driggled it out and just pass it and take a
shot right before the shot clock expires.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Man, get the ball from me, get the ball from
find a way to beat him. I'm here. I'm here
for some of the players after the game from from
the Panthers. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Yeah, a years ago when coach I think was coach
Fanjoe was here when Baltimore with.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
The I'm like, bro, you can't do that. Don't be mad.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
I get better.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Nick Eyes don't must feel a certain way about that.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No, listen, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
He's just.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
It's just like in college football, or even like when
I played for the Texans, there was this whole media
thing because there was a school in Texas that beat
another high school, right, and they the one high school
scored one hundred points. The other team scored like ten points.
And the controversy was why did the one coach who
(35:33):
scored was coaching the team that was very talented?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Why did they keep scoring?
Speaker 6 (35:37):
He was like, look, I took out my starters, I
put the backups in.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
What do you want me to do? Football?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Disrespectful at that point? No, no, no, not not not
you in the third quarter and you kneel in the football. Oh,
nowadays it's not many that's acceptable.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Nowadays running it up there, it's a lot more acceptable
it used to be.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I mean even back when I running up acceptable Now.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Part of it, it's part of the game.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Shot.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
We shused to take these on this boy back when
my kids don't run, nigga, don't run this car up.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
You know, well, I mean it's different if it's like
twelve year olds. But you once you get to high school, man,
like I.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Grew up in Miami.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Saying no, no, it wasn't different.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
When it's the same way.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Man, it wasn't different. Man, I'm saying it's different now.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Talk about well the pop warning kids and they only
like twelve years old and nine years old.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
You gotta let them kind of build up the conference shoe.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
I'm like then, now now it is like that though,
now they got like score caps on that stuff. You
can only you know, you get to that they we're
just calling at halftime. If you get to a certain.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
That's difficult then because where I grew up, there were
a lot of street pharmaceutical reps who used to be
familiar with this, who used to make wagers.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
On the game. So you're allowing someone to score. Guess
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
There's money, lie as alf understand this, Tlly Steve.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
In my high school, they used to bet on who's
gonna win the opening tip and whether it was gonna
be a dunk. Yes, street pharmaceut sutical reps were real,
and the players knew them.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Were the players.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
I was in the playing a JV game at Northwestern
High School, the school where Teddy Bridgewater coaches right now,
and I was playing for High Level High and there
was some street pharmaceutical reps standing right outside the fence,
and they were telling guys on the offense, you better
not catch those certain balls and make touchdowns because you're
not You're not gonna get back on the bus.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
Guess what happened to our offense. No one was catching passes.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
That was real.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
That's exactly how I grew up.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Before you get out of here, Steve, what you show that?
Anthony Richardson checking himself out of the game.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
You saw that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but he ever what
he do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I need to come out. I'm winning, I'm tired. Come on, bro,
you can't do that. Yeah, that's the That's the first
time I've ever seen that. Okay, that's where I was
going with that. I'm like, yeah, the quarterback was.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
How much running are you doing? Bro?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Stop running so much? Then you don't have to do
all that running.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Well, it was gonna. It's hard never in my life
seeing that before.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
That's what I was gonna.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
That's the reason I was asking so it's like I've
never seen it. I've never seen somebody. I saw somebody
do that when I get that bell wrong, But id dude,
Jared Lorenzen was out here at four hundred pounds running around,
you know, make a play.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Dude never tapped out.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
From that.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You had coaches that you try to come out right now,
chop like it's arrow head, you know.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Put it back over the liddle.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Do you think there's a possibility that Anthony Richardson is
able to win back his locker room at some point
based on what he did?
Speaker 7 (38:55):
Yeah, I mean with with his play and uh, you know,
his leadership, he can definitely winning back.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
He's a young guy. You know, it's early in his.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Career, but people will always remember this, I've never seen
that before.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Well I see that he got that.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
There wasn't just this like it's it's been growing in
that locker room for a while. He's just I think
he's too young to be an NFL quarterback, at least mentally,
Like he's not mature enough to handle the leadership aspect
of it.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
And I think that's I think at.
Speaker 5 (39:21):
A large part of what's going on there right now,
Like he'll get there someday, I hope, but I think
right now he's not.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
He's not ready to be a leader.
Speaker 17 (39:28):
He may get there on another team maybe, but you know,
that's I think based on some people that I talked
to up there, I think that there was a growing concern.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
And want to be there.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Well he yeah, but he doesn't understand what it takes
to be an NFL quarterback, you know. I mean, he
was the best athlete on the field in college, you know,
when he played, and now everybody's the best athlete on
the field in the pros.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And you know, how does he learn though? I mean
that's the question. But that that's a question that is
the lestion ship. I mean, who's who Flaco is the
other guy?
Speaker 4 (39:59):
He teach him how to be a back up? I mean,
come on, man, let's be remember.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Remember Joe was here.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I remember he didn't want to mentor.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Finished my job.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
So Anthony riches him with the troubles that he's having,
He's not going to be mentor.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
By Joe Joe Flacco. I think he may have.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Had a change of heart on it, I think there.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Yeah, and especially since he's been to the Jets and
the Yeah, I think I think when it comes in
we got a hit break. But I think when it
comes to that situation, I think that the main thing
they're hoping that he's learning by emulating that he sees
what Joe Flacco does and recognizes there are some things
that he needs, some checkboxes he needs to be doing
because I think he I don't say he lost the
locker room, but I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
You know, there were some people that were unhappy with
the way he was running.
Speaker 4 (40:42):
He's lost the locker room. I wouldn't try to say it.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Then you can say I would.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
We appreciate it as always, Brocos Country to Night's got
any better debt when we come back
