The Hall of Famer the Hoff Steve Atwater on his phone,
busy texting important people, Text important people.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Man, hey, you're all you know your digital parts? Cool?
We locked in, You're right hard. I'm just making sure.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Five six, six nine zeros text a lot you guys
would to get involved the conversation.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Lots of stuff to get to.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
The Denver Broncos are out to ten and two after
a thrilling Sunday night football victory over the Washington Commanders
in overtime that came down to a two point conversion.
The defense came through yet again, Nick Benito doing his
best to Kimba Matumbo swatting that.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Ball into the stratosphere.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And I tell you, and Nick doesn't come through with
that big play, big play Benito there cosa Benito doesn't
come through with a big play like that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I don't know, man, it's always hands. But he was
wide open. Well, we had saying there's a lot of
his but we.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Came through again on top of there's no way they
could do this, and then they do it.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, yeah, I think that they had the momentum a
little bit too there.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
They drove down the field. I say, you gotta hand
you gotta hand it to Washington. You gotta tell you know,
you got to the cap.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You got They had nothing to play for at three
and eight, they got nothing to play for, and they
came out there and gave the den Broncos everything they wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But those teams are I think the most dangerous teams
to play, the teams that, hey, what the heck man?
And one day they just show up and they just
play lights on football, hum and uh and they'd be
good football teams. That's why on any game of sunning,
you cannot take anything for granted.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, a good reminder of that at this point in
the season for the for the Denver Broncos as well.
It's a fascinating sort of discussion out.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
There, uh is. Some people believe that the Broncos should
be ranked higher.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And all these these these power rankings and all the others.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Do you care about any of that stuff?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
No, I don't think rant last night about it, because
I like, if you don't care, if you don't care
about that person's approval, it's just putting the why do
you care?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Where they You know, none of.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
That matters is you just keep winning winning, And the
more people are gonna be quiet, and they're gonna and
they're gonna fall in line and be like, I want
to let them keep running their mouths and look dumb
every week.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah right, that happens every week on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm just saying, I've got a microphone.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
In front of me. For some reason, it's still employed.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, But I mean, like you look at you look
at all this stuff, and you look at all these
I'd rather be slept on, man, I'd rather.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'd rather have the national media out there hating.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'd rather be slept on all that kind of stuff
and then them telling, you know, setting up the gravy
train for us, and then we fall off a cliff,
you know, feeling ourselves as far as that kind of stuff.
Cause I just I don't I don't care what anybody
else thinks. And I don't care the guys do either.
I don't think the times that they either. I don't
get that vibe from them. You know, that's a pretty
tight locker room. That's pretty much got the you know,
we we haven't arrived yet mentality.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And I think they're pretty confident that they can win.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, I mean, when you're doing it the way you're
doing it. It's's funny because I sat here last night
and I was like, you know, I finally I don't
want to say I had a religious conversion to saw
the light whatever it is, but this is just like
that season with t Bow where I was.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Sitting there like, there's no way they do this again,
and then they would just do it again. That man,
that test was so crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So I told you the story, but I was sitting
there with an NFL coach, uh, you know, NFL head
coach after watching this game. Yeah, and I'm like, there's
absolutely no I said, here a hundred bucks, no way
Tim Tebow does this again, and he just looked at me.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He's like, you're on, got you?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And that the slant was like within six seconds of
that of that wager. There's six seconds of that wager,
Tim Tebow hits various Thomas the house calls it and
I'm just sitting there with my jaw drops like he's
there's owl owl.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But but it's also it's also fun to be in
the middle of, you know, because I wasn't in the
middle of that. I was on the outside of that.
I was in another city watching that go down and
it was baffling to me. It's just as it's equally
as baffling right now, but it's so much more fun
to be in the eye of the hurricane.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, you're you're in the mix because you're you're on
social media, you're talking noise, and you know everybody wants
to get back at you, but you can't get it.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Me right now.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Oh, I like, I don't care what you're right the
Broncos fourteenth and your power rankings.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I'd like to point you to this ten and two
slash scoreboard. Mother fluffer. Ooh dang. Grant was right close.
Grant was right there. Grant was right there that I
almost got Zach Seegers on that last night too. I
thought you were gonna say it was close. I came close.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
SEC ain't got nothing on me, FEC whatever, FCC, whoever
you are, all of them, Federal License Commission, Security Exchange Commission, whatever.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, they have nothing to do with I mean they might,
they might get me for something else, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But it's it's it's just it's it's baffling and fascinating,
but so much so much fun to watch. It would
be sports talk would be boring if we were blowing
them out forty five to nothing every week. What am
I gonna do?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I guess we're gonna blow them out again. This
was you know, this is so much more fun.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, they're the heart attack horse, and you said, I'm
gonna send them a bill for all all the medication
on my knee from my heart for the fourth quarter
every game.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
But this is so much more fun.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
This is the most fun I've You would have reinvigorated
me in a way that I can't explain, Like I'm
having more fun than I've had in years.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
But I would imagine that the team teams that they
played their opponents, when they look at some of the
games they played, they'll probably feel like some of the
fans like, oh man, we could get them, we could
do this.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Their conference level is super high.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But then the same things happen. The same things happens
when when it's time to make a play, somebody else
from the Bronco is gonna make a play, and they do.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They just there was never like, there wasn't a moment yesterday,
yesterday Sunday when I was sitting there thinking, man, we're
in trouble. There was never there wasn't any I've gotten
to the.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Point they were driving down. I was a little bit concerned,
which washers are driving.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm like, now I know what's gonna happen. He They're
going to get this, are gonna go for tw it.
I literally sat there to Nicke like they're gonna get this,
They're gonna go for two. They're not gonna get it. Yeah,
this is just the way these things go.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Like, this is just the way.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And part of that was because I had a six
and a half point bet and we're up seven.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I know it's gonna lose it. So I was like,
you know, this is exactly crazy. Thing is huff was
covering was back in the flat. Yeah he got picked.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, and well they kudos to Washington click Kingsbury for
picking up that these refts weren't calling big plays all
game and he and in the fourth quarter just kept
dialing them up, daring the refs to call him.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And they didn't. Yeah they did. They call what No.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And so that's that's the thing, Like, as long as
you're if the refts aren't gonna call it, start doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
They say they were calling false starts all night either.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We had started half a dozen times Larry Tunsils over there,
false started ever you have to play for the pipe
is going. Oh no, I was just looking at this
like one. If they're not gonna call it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Keep doing it. That's the that's that's the motto.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So kudos to you know, hats off to Click Kingsbury
for figuring that out and then and then double hats
off to the Broncos for being like for coming up with.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A play when they needed to.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, you know, this is this is a beautiful thing
where you can continue to find ways to win and
nobody and a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Of people aren't giving the Broncos credit even when they're winning.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Let them sleep, I said, let them I'm not I'm
not trying to convince anybody on social media. Keep the
Super Bowl odds long so everybody never can get their
tickets in and bet what they want to and get
the maximum return. I'm just saying, but is there something
too continuing to do that as a player that builds
a level of confidence that puts you playing on another
(07:10):
level because you know, somebody's got to step up. Maybe
it's gonna be me, maybe it's gonna be you, but
somebody's got to step up.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Oh yeah, I think definitely. You feel like, hey, we
got a squad and hopefully everybody's looking at themselves like
I'm gonna make the play.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I'm not gonna be got.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Let the guys who on the field like I'm about
to make this play and somebody's.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
But you can't have one one of two guys on
the on the field talking about they gonyeah have eleven
of them saying I'm about I'm about to make it
play right now?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Well, yeah, you can't have We're.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
About to get them right rightbody, you can't have And
you also can't have it the other way where you've
got two guys.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like please don't throw me, Please don't throw me, Please
don't throw me.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You know what I mean, Like you can't have you got,
you got eleven guys committed to the mission and all
of it of them looks like they're hungry.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
They're hungry to please throw it by way, please please
come on, let me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Make the play, you know, versus please don't throw my way,
don't let me make the mistake. And there's there's a
I know that sounds like two sides of the same coin,
but it's other sides of the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, and your playmakers usually are going to want the action,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, Yeah, we got a lot of playmakers on this team.
That's the other.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Thing too, I mean, and we can we can do that,
and we can pay guys we can afford to right
now because bo Nix is on that rookie deal, right
But we do. On the defensive side of the ball,
there's playmakers. It's a playmaker in every position. Bro, did
you playmakers in the depth? Evan Ingram's reception and run?
Oh you tell, but you tell? Bow checked him to
the eye, Bow checked to the check to the whip
(08:40):
route on the the io with his iod on.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But Wagoner, they saw, they saw cover FOURD.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
He said, Yeah, I just Bo, you saw bow Dicks
grow grow it up in real time, man, in real time.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You saw him growing up. And and Bobby look back
at the quarterback. Can't look back at QB.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And uh, well, ev't got him with the double movie.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
He did, and Bobby been napping because they hadn't double
moved he and he got He got caught napping because
he'd been watching the quarterback all game and got that
pick earlier when he was lurking underneath on that you know,
on that en route, and uh, it's just so Yeah,
it's almost like they I don't wost say they baited
him with that, but they kind of used his confidence
and they had to come back and hit him with
the you know, hit him with the pivot and there
you go.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, and everyone's off to the races. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Takes a snap, four man pressure, go in the pocket,
stands tall, throws the ball.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Wide, opening Ingram's not the loose having An.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Ingram stepped out of the tackle inside to ten hav
An Ingram with a catch and run of.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Forty two yards.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
We've got a first down in goal saying we're still on.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Harris saved the touchdown first in gold Denver.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Nobody doesn't call it like Dave Logan first ball. Ye
my god, but I mean that's.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What it was. You saw it, You saw it growing
up in real time.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
He saw this team starting to and it's getting there,
like you're watching this every week, and there's still things
to iron out.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
They got to fix that run game, Arsey.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Harvey was running hard, but he's still only getting two
points seven.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I know.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm just saying, though he looked a little bit different
to me in this game, he looked he looked better
to me.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Maybe maybe it's starting to get there for him. I mean,
I just need to see it to see it, you
know what I mean. Like those two touchdowns were walking.
I mean, you could have driven an ocean liner through
the hole he had for the second touch.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I mean they.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Gotta do some as you as you start to watch this,
the complaints, they are kind of like, is this a
complaint or a nitpick?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now? Am I nitpicking? Because I kind of am Is
this point? Is this to do that? Though? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But I mean that's there's there's a difference between earlier
the season where you're looking at something and saying, Okay,
this is not this looks gross, you know, versus you're
at the point now we're like they're starting, they're figuring
it out, they're growing up. These young bucks are growing
up in real time here and they're starting to figure
out there's a few things they got to fix. And
for the love of God, we got to have Sean
Payton quit stall in the offense, dialing up some bizarre
(10:45):
mission impossible asque trick play on you know, second and
short that never works when we had the double, the
double reverse flea flicker or whatever it was this.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Time second one.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I even tweeted about it, like it reminds you the
scene from from Mission Impossible too, with the bad guys
that we're talking about Eathon Hunt here, so in Tourist,
instead of just walking through the front door and blasting away,
he's going to try some insane acrobatic maneuver. That's what
it reminds me of every time, Like Second one, Coach,
but there's a ill right down the center right. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no no. We got wrestle dazzle. We gonna put
(11:18):
Garrett Bowles on a route.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, we got RJ throwing.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
The ball back across the field the Bonnicks.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He said once the game we try something that You're
just like, man, what do we what?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What was that? Come on? Man? Would be expected I throw?
Now they expect the trick play. They're sitting there on
second down and everybody's.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Like, Okay, this is gonna be something dumb. It's a
statue of liberty play coming up. I'm just it's it's
but the thing is just like I can't even get
mad anymore because I expect it now and I just
laugh at it when it doesn't work, and then I'm like,
all right, how can we go back to the regular
football and start.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Start winning again? At one time? When it works, it's
gonna be like one.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Out of a dozen, and then you're gonna be walking
around like Mick Jagger dancing at a concert doing the
peacock or whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And I'm like, you are from twelve on these they
don't you don't like though you're not a fan of the.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm just not a fan of taking your guys and
putting them in a position where they're not at their best.
And we got I get it that r J was
a was a was a quarterback in high school. But
let me let me be the first one to point
out the dudes that were just a quarterback in high
school probably aren't the best guys that you know, if
not necessarily gonna make quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
School the people in.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
High school strongly emphasized because they're probably not making that
throw in the pros.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You could have made that thrown back across my body, well,
I think it would have been picked sixth. I'm sure they
practiced it though.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm sure they had a practice in the world is
not gonna turn me into I'm not gonna spathetical.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
We already had this hypothetical.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And we settled this thing once and for all in
the Kendall Hitting game. If some dude could come in
and just play quarterback. We settled it on that game.
That dude, that dude had a had a three thout
or twenty five hundred yard season at wake Forest, and
that dude could barely complete a pass in the NFL. Yeah,
that was That was gag every dude that was sitting
at home on her couch at fort living room talking
about how could have need that throw? Shut every one
(13:23):
of them up permanently. We already did this. We did
this experience. It settled.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I played quarterback in high school and I thought that, hey,
in a pinch, maybe I could.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't think I could. You know what it is.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's why I had to play safety and college.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Because I threw a few picks. Brought in to be
a quarterback, didn't It was a kiddy halfield.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
No, no, no, that was that was the That was
the lure. Okay, we want to play quarterback?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well practice yeah, see let's come off. Yeah, we're gon
We're gonna move you sa safety. You're gonna let you
travel with the team. You know, YEH want to, but
I still want you to travel teams. He put the
locker room is like and speed like all right, coach,
Yeah I changed.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
In my house. But he was no, no, no, we
go try you. Yeah yeah yeah, because they ran with
a happy renoflex bow. Did he oh wishbone all day long? Boy? Yeah?
And I could not run the wishbone at all. No.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I couldn't make the pitch. I couldn't make the pitch.
I couldn't throw I couldn't I didn't even understand the offense. Man,
I wasn't the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah. I was a quarterback in high school, but that's it.
I was not a college quarterback. But that's what I'm
getting at is there's a there's a significant.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Jump, like there's no way I didn't belong And you know,
there's no way I'm making that r J. Harvey trying
to make that throw back across the field while putting
his quarterback at risk as a receiver with a hospital.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Ball, And I'm like, what do we do on it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm all for every once in a while, you know,
once twice a season. Gustin Austin, Oh wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Every game though we do this every game. We could
call up with some hair bringing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
But you want like, I've never seen that play Rent
in practice, and I don't you know when I'm I
don't really watch to see what plays that run anyway,
but I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But maybe practice he just put it on the money. Man,
that could happen. He probably was throwing dimes and he
got in the game to get the game.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Man, we've got a lot of fans out there, there's
a lot of people watching now on.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
There's something to you know, nerves out of the lights
in all, something to that. But man, come on, now,
like Sean, everybody knows like you're you're good.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It's fine, or what are you like?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Now?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You know, if Sean would have seen that past the
way it was in practice, if he's seen that in practice, wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Have called that play.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I don't know, man doing this since he was in
the Organs, what do you think? Hell, now, you had
you had Drew Brees go to the office.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You the Ferrari is out there just.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Racing and you pull it out to put Taysom Hill
in there at quarterback and put a boat anchor on
the Ferrari. I mean, this has been stuff he's been
doing since New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Change up, man, change up.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I'm just saying even that, Like I'm not even mad anymore.
I'm just at the point where I'm like, all right,
here we go with this one. Now we got that
out of the way, we can go back to winning football.
Come on, man, I'm just not a fan of putting
guys like Garret Bolls a great blocker.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Gary Bowles is not a wide receiver, or he would
be a wide receiver.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
But you see the Office of Liman all of time,
they gives them a chance to have a little bit
of fun. Man, That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
All right. In addition to a lot of times they.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Score a lot of time, would we would we say
a lot you sees.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Touchdowns, You've seen a lot office touchdowns. We remember when
they score. We don't remember the ones they didn't score on.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That's the thing, like we get to we get this
memory bias where we remember the cool plays where.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You know that all the big fella gets in or whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We remever that we don't ever remember the disasters when
you know, yeah, like the Chiefs used to buy a
pecko for then you know that thing, or Petty Sewel
will caught a you know, cut the ball for the line.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We remember the cool stuff. We just forget about it
and move on sort of the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm like, man like, I don't know what kind of
hair brains stump we're about to try in his next game.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
I'm telling you, man, I think that that all adds
to the entertainment level too, though maybe sometimes fans want
to see some fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Man, when leaf first supposed to touchdown, they do the greedy.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Or they do it look and fans like, there's entertainment.
Bro's entertainment. After you put points on the board. The
point put points on.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
The board first day will come back from the style
points the boys GB got hands anyway, you know g
b GP is a great lacrosse player. Gv's a great
you know, come on, g had hands. If he had
that kind of he'd be playing tight end right now.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm just a right man. But you can slim down
a little bit, it'll put way a lot. Originally you're
not gonna make the money. Didn't make it trying to
catch some checks. I get it. I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Steve can talk me into it. During a break. We
hated a break here you guys, listen to Broncos Country
to Night. You're okay, way Broncos Country to Die, Benjamin
all Right, the Hall of Famer, Steve at Water here,
Gret Smith back there behind the glass. I'd love to, uh,
I'd love to have a moment like that with the
Broncos this year.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You know, nobody doubting them.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You open around of the playoffs, sitting there at the
at you at your at your home. Maybe second round
of the playoffs, you get that first round by you
know what I'm talking about, everybody doubt you and you
just you walk off, you know, last play of the.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Game, home run ball.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Love to have that moment again, Love to be a
part of that moment because I you know again, I
was on the outside looking in for that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So would you.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Want it to be a blowout win or do you
want to be.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Like, oh, I'd rather have the magic moment that like
how you yourself as you commends you, I'd rather for
pure selfish reasons, I'd love to be a part of
a magic moment like that. Yeah, I was here for
the Super Bowl fifty win, and I expected Denver to
win that. In fact, I bet that thing huge. I'd uh,
I had sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
For you to say that, because I like working with
the Broncos. I can't. I don't even I wouldn't even
on the beat. Okay, So a couple years earlier, when they.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Played the Seahawks, I bet against the Broncos and I
had a bunch of Denver fans coming at me sideways.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Oh, you don't believe, you don't believe in Peyton.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Manning and this, that and the other. And I bet
the Seahawks. And I was like, and I bet that
one pretty big. And I once I came back, when
I came back, and I was like, all right, Broncos fans,
here's your chance to be on the same team. I'm
betting Denver against Carolina than this one. Mass says, Denver,
go and win this thing. We'll see, we'll see what happens.
And uh, oh, you know, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You were one guy.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, they're like, oh, that's the one guy who was
with us everybody else Piak of Carolina, you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Know that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So but yeah, I but I didn't feel a part
of it, because I mean I wasn't on the beat
at that time. You know, it wasn't any that I
sutly wasn't here k yet any of that kind of stuff.
So I didn't feel like a part of that. And
so I guess for a minute there, I mean, I
was happy for the city of Denver. It was happy
from a wallet, but I didn't I didn't really feel
a part of that. I would feel a part of that,
just like you know, like if that's if this is
(20:12):
that team, if this is that destiny And I don't
want to get too far out over my skis on it,
but yeah, i'd love to I'd love to have a
magic moment like that, you know, just just one that's
etched into you that you get to remember forever.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Mm yeah no, no, never remember where you were when.
I mean, because I remember where I was when that
play happens. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But I wouldn't endeavor a reason. I remember that because
I run my mouth off and lost Hunter bucks. Ye,
I had just slide that honey over to somebody who
did not need that money. I give it to me,
I don't need it, give it the double you know,
the bow tie double tap right there. Just give me
(20:49):
my money, slide it across to somebody who didn't need it,
and yeah it was. You know, it was one of
those things. Broncos sign wide receiver Eligi Moore. It's the
practice squad today. Okay, fascinating signing more. I think it
was like a year ago, wasn't it when he had
that big game against US?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah? Last year, isn't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It to the day, Like, I'm pretty sure if you
check my math on this, I'm pretty sure to the day.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I hope I'm not wrong on that.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm pretty sure to the day he had that big
game with UH with James throwing the ball and it
was a little overshadowed by was it Judy? Yeah, Judy,
maybe I'm wrong on that. Well, gratswell of our crack
research team back there. He's putting on a lab coat.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's weird. I don't know what's going on anyway. He'll
let me know if I'm right wrong on that, but
he But I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it was
almost like to the exact date. Somebody tell me I'm
wrong on that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
He had eight receptions for even Yep, Jerry Jude had
nine for two thirty five.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, Jerry had Amber second.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Right, well, you had to look that up, you know
you didn't. Just remember.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I literally have a done and Dragons thing up on
my screen right now.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's crazy. Yeah, I am a nerd and it's fine.
I started. I was born in December. Side, December trivia
comes easy to me.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I got birthday coming up twelve twelve, just saying, oh,
December trivia comes easy to me.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just happen to remember it. Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
So Elijah More, Yeah, yeah, So the Broncos signed in
the practice squad today, and I you know, as soon
as I saw this, I'm like, oh cool.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sean Payton's never met the project receiver that he wants
to stash on the practice squad and then forget he
has looking at you at Perry. But you know, I'm
just saying like like I don't know, and he sidelized
More and it's it's cool, Like I don't know where.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
He fits, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like cool, we got a guy who's who's showing some
flashes of production before. I'm not against this signing by
any means. I just kind of question like where does
he fit? And why didn't we sign a running back?
The running backs. I'm just saying, man like, we got
to get somebody with some some girth. That's one way
to put it. Uh, somebody's got a little weight on
(23:02):
the back end, you know what I mean. We got
some quads and uh you know built it. We got
three guys that are two hundred five pounds. Well one
of them two a five too. Well that was with
two of six and the other guys won seventy eight,
sexty one, seventy eight.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't know him buying nothing. Hey, McLoughlin runs hard man.
I I'm not I'm not disputing that.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I'm just saying, like the sheer physics of of of
you know, uh, force equals mass times acceleration.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
How much did uh ms Smith way back when he
played uh what two twenty five?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, it was twenty five? Was it to twenty two
fifteen something?
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Like Toddy and he was two twenty five.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I don't know he was at the beginning, Like when
he was at Arizona, he was like two twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah, he was twenty one. I'm saying he was.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He was a big old dude man like Barry was smaller,
but he was. He was a big dude back then
to play running back. He was like two twenty to
two forty to play running back back down, I think
smalling backs, that's a new phenomenon over the last couple
of years. Well, you got guys like you know, you
saw Warick done and they would say they were saying
he was too light to play in the league. And
then he goes for seventy five hundred scrimma yards of
two different franchises and war was he wasn't that heavy.
(24:07):
He was I know, he's like a buck ninety. Yeah,
that was the thing. Everybody kept saying work was too
small to play in the league. And now you've got
these guys like Jaleel who was like a hundred and seventy.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
But you saying that, uh r j is too small.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
No, I'm just saying, like, there's he's he's squatty, like
he's he's build is like Marice Jones Drew. But you
gotta find somebody who's got some I mean, at some
point you got to have a little bit more weight
than that because you go and need a battering ram.
There's some players you're just gonna need a battering ram
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, like you wanna put ad On.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Prentis back there, because that's all we got, Like Tyler
Banda's two o five, r J's like two o six,
and then you got you know, Jaleel who's like a
buck seventy and he's claiming like a buck eighty.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
But an't nobody buying that? Said? Maybe are yea? I
mean JK might be back, but super Bowl does a
long super.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Bowl or baby, I'm like, I'm not counting on that.
I mean, if that happens, than cool, that's a bonus.
But in the meantime and in between.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Time, yeah, I'm sure there's a reason for I don't
know what the reason he is.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
What do you guys think of how Adam Prentiss is
being used? So he had that big catch out in
the Backie give me more, man, I'm here for more.
An apprentice. He making plays that means you are in
the ball more. And he did. He gave They gave
him two plays. He did well on both of them.
I am totally fine.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
We're putting out of Prenice back there two hundred and
forty pounds and letting him run run the rock for
a minute.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, guy, the secondary, I don't want to That's what
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You gotta Yeah, you got a corner coming around your edgeit,
you know, a buck eighty buck, ninety corners just sitting there.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
With eyes like saucers. You got, you got guard pulling,
You got guard pull it in front of him.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You know, you see Quinn Miners coming and you olay that,
you turn around.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You got two forty right behind him. No, bro, I'm good. Yeah,
it's funny, Nick, you know Nicki's Nick. He's like, you
want to seek out cause he want to hit somebody
or whatever. I'm like, no, man, I ain't.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Huh uh oh, I need to find another day. I'm
putting the sword back in the sheath. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah,
I want to get knocked on my head. You'll get
nothing ever in some anyway. Well, but I'm just saying
like I had the most, the utmost respect of Bryce Callahan.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Bryce callow is exactly my size, exactly my side. Oh yeah,
exactly my size.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He squared up on Derrick Henry and stopped him. Told
I was like, oh, oh that's a dog. Yeah, that
dude is my that's my size. Stopping that I would
not stop Derrick Henry. Derek Henry would not even feel
me on his way to the end zone. I would
be he I would But even if he didn't like
the physics of that, unless I hit him at the
(26:36):
exact right angle and stuck my leg up and tripped
him on the way by, can't you do it? I
guess if Bryce could do it, I guess I can.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
There's physically possible for me to do it somehow.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But I'm just saying, one hundred and ninety nine times
out of a thousand, I am a mosquito on the
wingshield of Derrick Henry on the way to the end zone.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Because you're futory what it would be like to tackle him,
no and here, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm picturing what it would be like to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah that because I do not have the chutcha vision
his knee hitting you right in your head. Be a
runaway fighting man.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That' funny highways with part the seas with part riding
from the cruising down.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I twenty five. I speaking of I twenty five, let's
check in with Dave o'brice. How traffic is. We had
Singleton back in that game. We had certain tan back
in that game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I thought it was kind of funny because we're talking
about I was talking with some radio hosts out there
in Washington during the week to a you know, a
behind an Enemy Lines feature or whatever, and they were
talking about that. I was like, you know, it's it's
funny because I'm just now realizing this. But Defense did,
like those were great players. We didn't even notice they
were gone.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
That was the crazy thing about it too. That was
a crazy Yeah, exactly, we didn't even notice he was gone,
like we.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Would Defense, wouldn't He and Oil Chris Adens Drake came
in and played admirably. Justice Surnad came in and played
a you know, I don't arnive yourself a big enough
contract they can't afford to keep him.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, everybody, everybody stepped up. Guys stepped up, next man up.
They had the next man up mentality.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
And to me, that's gonna be like one of the
biggest confidence boosters out there too. When you know, like
when your best players go down, your best player is
going to be out for a little bit, and you
still like your green dot and your best player out
and you didn't even notice, Yeah, I mean you do,
but you know what I mean, like performance wise, you
didn't even like next guy up just.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
And I'm sure they made some adjustments to account for,
especially some of the younger guys playing, to maybe give
them a little help in that. But yeah, it was
crazy too to see. And I thought that they would
try to. I thought teams would try to attack them more,
but it didn't look they could, but they knew like
(28:57):
they did.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Brother, Yeah, do you see that catch my trailer on Burks?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yeah that was another OBJ well speaking of which, so
talking about anniversary dates, right, obij made that same catch
in that same spot.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Was it ten years to the week earlier? And they
both wore number thirteen. That's crazy. I was like, oh,
we need pat Riot to get involved here, right, just
make this. Hey, that was a snag. And Riley Riley
hen any better.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I felt bad for because Nick and I were sitting
there and I was like, why is it always Riley? Though,
Like it sucks that dude's.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
On everybody's poster even though he's like playing, like hello, great,
like that was any It was great that you could
not have defended that any better.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
And yeah, merg made he made a heck of a catcher. Now,
that was that was the only catch of the night.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
He's old catcher. The night was at five yard TD.
That was like, oh my goodness, where did that come from? Yeah?
That was uh that was nice. But everybody's got a name.
One night he's playing him. I don't I showed you
when that one showed you a highlight. I showed you
a low light clips one nasty play. Yeah, I don't
like the offensive system that you're like running. No, I'm
not even talking about that. I was talking about me
playing defensive. Clip. I showed you this is the tackle
(30:10):
I took the wrong angle. I showed you that clip
too bad angle, horrible. You weren't even going for though.
I get second guessing myself all away. This isn't natural
to me because you're in office. But what are we
doing here? This is a natural away from this guy.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
You can see you can see like shoves slowed it
down when Nick and he's like you can see that
that just running back just looking for you, just.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
You like, I don't want to go there.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
I kind of made a divings like sort of made
an effort. So when you pull the when you pull
the tape up on. You know, right, let's take a
look here. Yeah, I don't coach. I don't for it.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He just hurtled me. I don't know. Sometimes people don't
want to make tackle.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I didn't want to get hurt. Hey, there's some people
that play the game now like too. Yeah, that's U
didn't want to get up in there.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
There's some business decisions being made out of there, but
you don't see that from this team. You don't see
that anywhere from this team. Defensively, often you don't see
business decisions. After fact, you kind of wish you saw
him a little bit more from both.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Sometimes he gets out there in the open fields. Some
times I'm like, get out, get out, get out. Yeah,
he's taking a couple of a couple of his he
saw it having to Jackson Dart. Uh when Joan Alis's
brother hit him last night. Yeah, else, that was illegal.
That was completely legal here, man, That dude's got to
learn to get down.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And that's what I've been saying since him and Scantibo
got there, before they even started playing. I'm like, dude, like,
these two dudes are exciting, but both of them are contact.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Out, like their careers are gonna be like three years.
Was that a helmet to have it?
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Well, it's sort of incidentally he hit the shoulder and
then and then his helmet attacked him on the side.
I thought yeah, But then darkly pop right right up,
you know, and I was like, all right, I know.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I was like, I know that, I know that feeling.
That dude is hurting right now, but he's.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Not going to show it at all, like you're you're
sitting really no, man, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
And then you get this hold me up he broke
my neck. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not gonna show it
out there, but I get it. I get it. A
hold up, hold me up, propably up, prop me up.
Oh yeah, we should do that now somebody busy with me.
You know, we can't go to see her. I'll let
him see you bleed. Uh. Steves always goes too fast, man.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I just uh, I love sitting down when you get
a chance talk to and man, this team's gotta be hype, dude,
I'm just reinvigorating they are.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
We gotta keep it going, gotta keep it going, gotta
handle this. It's get them raiders. Yeah, Raider haters on.
I appreciate you jumping in here. Broath states your night
back after this
