Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playfake.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Winston throws in the in the end zone and throws
it to Cody Barton, and Barton's got a chance to
house call Barton down the east sideline. They catch him
at midfield. Cody Barton for Cody Barton. That's his second
interception of the season, and that will do it with
thirty four seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
By the way, I'm pretty sure it was Jerry Judy
that tackled Cody Barton.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Way, what did he not do in that game?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Bege would all right the Hall of Fame or Steve
at watagrast Smith here with you Broncos country tonight on
a victory tooth day, and my goodness, was that one
heck of a football game or a Monday night game
for the Denver Broncos. I thought it was gonna be
a tight, tough game. I did all week. I was
a little nervous. I said it was gonna be a tight,
tough game. I did not think it was gonna have
seventy three points scored, that we.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Were gonna see multiple pick sixes.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
On a house call.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was a game and Jerry Judy going off for
five and a toddy.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I did not foresee any of that. I definitely did.
I see that.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
And I've always thought ever since we had drafted Jeredy
and he was an extremely talented player. I hate that,
you know. I hate the way things kind of went
down with him here. And I also think that we
have never really, we never really fed him the ball
the way that they were feeding him the ball. Your
I don't know if you can do that, especially when
(01:23):
you got you know, the amount of receivers that we had.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But man, they got him the ball.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And he was he was, he showed out, he had
he had a really good game.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm gonna start it off and I'm gonna get this
out of the way because the fans screaming Jerry Judy sucks.
You guys gotta stop. Come on, We're not doing this
is never Broncos case. We're not that soft. Stop doing that.
Jerry Judy talked all that mess, and he came in
here and backed it up.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
What do we do.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We tipped the cap and say, hey, hold this hell
all the way back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But I gotta say this.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Too, It'll have been interesting if Roddy Muss would have
been healthy.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, and we'll get to that.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I mean, there's been a scenario where a white Broncos
been missed more.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Than that since so the last time they were out
looking for Al Colling's.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
But it was, I mean, it was it was something that,
it was something else. It was watching Jerry Judy do that.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I think there was a bitterness, maybe a little bit
on the on the side or on of Broncos fans
because they're like, where was this for us?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Where was Where was when Jerry Judy was here? Where
was this for us? And I have a statistic I'll
tell you what, though, there were a lot of places
he was open and we didn't give him a ball. Well,
there were places where he was up we did give
him a ball.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, there were a couple of instances where they tried
to feed him with Russ I think late that first
season after Courtland went down. But it's just, you know,
in the end, it just didn't work out. And I
think both teams are better for it. I think the
Broncos is a better for Jerry Judy been and Jerry's
having a career renaissance to wit. Yeah, Jerry Judy has
sixteen percent of his total NFL production over the last thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Six days that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Since Jameis Winston has become the quarterback of the Browns,
Jerry Judy is having a renaissance. Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And I know he's he's got to be on cloud
and I know, I know he's hate. He got to
hate that they're losing, but he's got to feel good
about his production. And at the end of the day,
you gotta, you gotta do your job. Every players gotta.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Do their job.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Windows draw, you gotta, you gotta do your job. Obviously
you prefer win.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But Jerry Judy had more receiving yards than Deshaun Watson
ever had passing yards you're talking about with brown with
the Browns one hundred serious, that's crazy. And more receiving
yards last night than Deshaun ever had.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
This is insane. That's insane. So I mean, look, I
tip my captain Jerry Judy.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it sucks that he that he roasted us and
all that kind of stuff, but you gotta you have
to And I'm a player. I gotta ask you this.
You have to admire because I I I you know me.
I love to spack you know, I am at there.
I love to smack talk.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I love it. But I also love getting it back.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And so you got an opposing player smack talk you
all week and then came in and did the thing. Hey, man,
I gotta tip the cap. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna
need to get by holding this hell. You know, it's
Cleveland for a reason, not Cleve. We've lan and so
you know you gotta hold this l But at the
same time, man, respect because if it were easy, even
if it's a backup corner, even if it's a Levi Wallace,
(04:10):
even if it's whatever, probably two thirty five, and if
it were easy to do it on a backup corner,
you'd see other people doing.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It on a backup corner. Yeah, yeah, no, I agree
with that.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And I think most of the guys, you know, they
congratulated him.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Definitely didn't like it, you know, and I know Levi
Wallace didn't like it. The rest of the DBS didn't
like it.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
But you know, hey, sometimes sometimes guys after day in
the end, don't think that matters?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is did you get the dumb it is? And now
that matters?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Now you've got the bye week going into arguably the
most important game in Denver. Man, this is the most
important game in Denver since probably the run to the
Super Bowl, because this team, this is the one team.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You've you've got to eliminate.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This is the one team you've got The Indianapolis Colts
schedule from here is super easy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, they have like the Titans and the Jags left.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You've got to get the leg up on them with
the tiebreaker because the rest of your schedule is the Chargers,
who'll put it to us in that last game.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The Bengals.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The Bengals, who's off it, by the way, have lost
thirty lost four games in which they've scored thirty plus points.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That's more than the rest of the league combined. That's crazy.
And the Kansas City Chiefs to end the season.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Now, the Chiefs may be resting starters, but that's still
you know, there's there's still something to that rivalry. So
the Broncos have a very difficult schedule down the stretch.
The Colts have a very easy schedule down the stretch.
You both have a bye week. You have to win
this game. This might be the most important game in Denver.
This might be the most important game for the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Since that run up to the Super Bowl. Fifty do you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Think the players attitude is that that this is our
biggest game. I think you have to start to get
to that this week.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I don't think you could do that until the Cleveland
game is behind you, because you had to check that box.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What a three win football team or better than a record.
But what I'm saying mentality.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Wise, do you think they should be more like this
is another game?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
We just gotta you gotta have no business like we
all know.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think you gotta put at a circle. Man, you
gotta circles. You got two weeks to sit there. You
gotta keep guys focus. You got a buy week. You
gotta do a players on a buy. You got to
keep them dialed in. You know, you know how it
is on a buy.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
But I've also been on teams when we've elevated the
competition and man, it just never worked. No, we we
gotta keep them just like this is another game.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Them. Yeah, yes, they're beatable.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
They took a two point conversion of quarterback sneak it
in at the end of the game to beat the Patriots.
Elevating that's the thing though, I'm elevating the moment, not
the team.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's the thing though. That's what I'm talking about elevating
the moment, like, oh man, this is like this, this
is the goodness for everything. Man, did you get a
let down after that?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh yeah, Okay, you can't do it because hey man,
we all go outred. We're gonna do what we've been doing.
We don't be stay consistent. We're gonna come to work,
we're gonna practice hard. We're gonna make sure we know
our defense is up. Offense first teams up and down, and.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
We'll go down and we just gonna let them line
well Lebron.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Because they've either got to get Riley Moss back or
figure something out of the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Because you can't continue to do what you were doing
in that game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
With all due respect to Levion Wallace, we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Later they went to Chris Abram drain.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, before things went down the drain and they turned
to the to Abrams drain. They look next, the next
game is against guys. We've got Alec Pierce, who has
old world speed. Jerry Judy's fast. Alec Pierce makes Jerry
Jude look slow, that's how fast he is. So you
can't you can't have that kind of stuff in this
coming game. You've got to win that game.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's the way I think we
feel going into every game.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Really, that's that's the mentality we're point now where we're
pushing for the playoffs. The Colts have a cake schedule
in front of them. We've got a tough schedule in
front of it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And that's the team.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
We're the ones fighting out for the seven seed.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, but again, I've been on teams where we elevated
this moment and it's just never it's just never worked.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, it's never worked for me. So you didn't use
like the eminem hype up.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You only get one shot, one opportunity, Mom spaghetti, Sure
did it work for you when you were in high school?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean no, we didn't have moments like that. We
were just good.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Okay, Okay, I didn't have Yeah, I got yeah, we
gonna beat these boys anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Pretty much, there was I mean there was one team
in our you know that it was a private school
that recruited the state and you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But yeah, what happened that we usually lost it. This
is hype.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The didn't even kick it even but you remember, you
know that you ever seen the coach that doesn't uh,
they didn't punt on a fourth down past it was
plastic kep that's who that was our big yeah. Oh man,
he went for it for down. Yeah, they went for whatever.
They didn't punt. They never, they don't ever. I think
you had three punts in the season. They don't punt.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
If they turned it over and down sometimes, okay, I mean,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Very very they ran a hurry up, no huddle on
offense and they don't punt.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh dang it was. I mean, you're just like you
by four down your gass, you know. I mean, like
you guys are just sitting there like yeah, and they deliberate.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
They do things deliberately like run you know, you run
the play to uh to their sideline on second or
third down so we can't get those petties across the
field and stuff like that, and be like man, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Ever since, like the coach his name.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Is Kevin Kelly, he now works for over Warren Sharp
and does he's done some college stuff everything else since
we've become friends since then.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But boy, we hated that, we hated them back in
the day, so he's become one of your insiders.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I mean, you know, not even like that, but I
guess he's a good football mind to talk to you
just outside the box type thinking. I mean, who doesn't punt?
You know, so you know it's the stuf you gotta
you got to be confident, Yeah, to not toun well,
I mean yeah, players, well you gotta. Yeah, but you
gotta you got a system, you believe in a players
to execute it. But that's you know, that's Anyboddy. I
(09:49):
think this game for me really kind of did it.
I know it's against a team that nobody expects to
do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm like, okay, this is a playoff team. I'm a
boat leaver, he's a bulliegue blankets and the driver. I'm
just saying, like, this is a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Game where I come wrong. I needed to see the
offense do it right.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And because you can talk about Atlanta, but but the
defense held Atlanta to six points. It wasn't just the offense.
The defense held Atlanta to six points right. This was
a game where the offense was counter punching when they
needed to, They came up with plays when they needed to.
And yes, the defense got the pick six's and to
see the game stealer, they still held up their ends.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
The best question though, because this is on my mind
when you said that, are you a Broco fan?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, I don't know if I'm a Broncos fan.
I cover the team and I'm glad when they win
because it makes this job a lot more fun.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know if you're a fan, come on the
game of football. I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's not a it's not a team that you like.
I grew up a little in the city, but I don't.
I don't really root for that. It's not a root fan.
You didn't grow up with city man. You didn't chiefs man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Just because you just say that when they when they
were losing. Uh, well, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, I mean, but it's not a rooting I don't
have a rooting interest in Kansas City. I'm so far
disconnected from that. I mean that was when I was
twelve years old. I'm so far disconnected from I mean,
this's thirty years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, you know, like, I'm so far distant a team
that's a favorite team. No, damn, I mean, dang, No,
you're good. You head to right first time. No, I
mean I really don't.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I mean I root for my friends so like I'm
root for you know, I root for the Arizona Cardinals
because John Annon's coaching there.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I root for the Commanders because you know.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Dan Quinn and uh and coach Pagatana were out there,
you know, coaching for them.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's like I root for my friends to do well.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But like, I don't have a I don't have a
team that I'm like, I'm invested in them winning. I
love it when the Broncos win because it makes this
job a lot more fun than I've gone.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Through a lot of losing here over the last ten years. Yeah, yeah,
a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's funny because when I got into this market. I
was talking with Brian Edwards about this yesterday. When I
got into this market, one of the first things I
said was these fans are spoiled.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The Diver fans are spoiled.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Because when I got to this market was it was
it was during the Peyton Manning era. I was right
before Super and you know, you guys had fewer losing
seasons than championships under the.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Pat Bowling Yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I was like, you guys don't understand what losing is like.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And I was asking him.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I was like, does it make it sweeter where the
Broncos are now having gone through the valley of the
last ten years and finally understanding what being a loser is.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Hmm, yeah, I would imagine. So you have to appreciate it.
I feel like it was.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I feel like this fan base can appreciate this more
because of what they've been through.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This isn't a fan base that expects championships every year.
They'll get back to that if this thing continues, But.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
It isn't a It isn't a fan base that expects
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
In fact, they're expecting the shooters the other shooter drop
most of the time.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well, I think with all of the gambling, and you know,
with with so much emphasis on that, people are looking
and see and seeing what's the under, what's the over?
How many games are is the team expected to win?
And when the pundits or the specialists, well, what have
you wished?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Every one? You won't call.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Them when they say we're alway supposed to win five games?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
The sports books got to said five and a half six?
You know, I mean, what what, what what do you think?
I think, like a man, I think it stems back
from the Bonnicks draft pick because you had all these
people grading it, you know, grading, and I hate that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
What are you doing great in a draft?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
After it happened, these guys have played well, you know,
you can't grade this thing for twit three years, that's
a grading it because they gotta do it right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We gotta have instant grades on everything now.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And then they're calling it a D or a C
minus or whatever, all this kind of stuff. And to
make for and Sean Payton, to his credit, I don't
know if you remember the press conference with him and
Georgia up there, and because I was sitting right there
from a row for it, and and they were Sean Payton,
I can't believe he was cocky, believe he was arrogant.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He was.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He's like, we just do it better than we just
avaluate quarters better better than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Like he was just we tricked him to take a
JAJ McCard.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
He was arrogant, and I was like, bro, like if
this blows up in your face.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
But to his credit, to Sean Payton's credit, it has
really worked out. It has and uh, I've always said it.
Sound is a smart man. He's a very smart man.
He's a smart football guy. He's just wait forgotten more
about football than I'll ever know.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Whatever, my my axe to grind that i've you know,
and that's whatever, but bust of, that's for show. Whatever
my act to grind is there, which is you know,
I'm doing an air quotes here in the studio.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Guy knows more about football than I ever will. He's
this more guy. And did anybody think that it was
the other way around? What do you mean that you?
I hope not. Okay, I thought you were. I mean,
I'll get around the room my own thought, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Know, But I mean, like the point being is that,
you know, Sean Payton, I have you know, I mean,
how did you only win one Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Drew Brees?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You know if there are questions I have about that?
All the other quarterbacks you drafted, like none of them
ever did anything in the league, But you came into
this thing disconvicted about bone Ix, Like you know, why,
what what was the miss up with all this other stuff?
And so I have questions about that. But at this
point I don't want to get into that. I want
to celebrate the winning. I want to celebrate I want
to be positive about it and that kind of stuff.
The the Bonick stuff though, the the the absolute overflowing
(14:58):
arrogance that he had in that press conference.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Looks validated, now yeah, looks justified now yeah. And I think.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you've if you've played the game on any level, Yeah,
even guys who haven't played the game, if you look
at tape on bowt knicks from college, especially at Oregon
m you.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Know that this guy, he doesn't make a ton of mistakes.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He doesn't turn the ball over well, I mean every
now man, you know there's an interception.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Uh, he doesn't fumble the ball. It doesn't take sax.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
It doesn't think bad decisions because over and over and
over again, one of those interceptions was on the receiver,
the one that the first one that bounced up out
of the hands, so that wouldn't want to bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I hate that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In fact, I wish they would classify, would classify interception
that was hit receivers in the hands and bounce up.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You know, I wish.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, I feel like they hit the hit the receiver
in the hands too or something though, and then the
defender tipped it up or something.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, the defender got his hand in there. Yeah, that
was a good defense. Plate.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Oh I'm not I'm not trying to take anything away
from the defender. Want to try to say, is that
I mean that really went on the quarterback. He put
the ball, we're supposed to be the receiver, just did
not keep keep possession of it, did.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Not throwing get his hand on the ball that was
thrown't as brad as it should have been.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't know if you could even get it in there.
I mean we saw him get it in there.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
To Marvin, that was that was I was sitting there,
I read the whole way just watching.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That was in the corner covers. Yeah, it was inverted
to he's trying to play cover to them from bump Yep,
it's inverted. Yeah, it's inverted to. He's supposed to he's
supposed to ride the rails.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
All that.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's inverted to. And you see it coming the whole
way and I'm I'm looking at this, I'm like, oh
my god, the post is gonna end, missus on the.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Posts on the post, And I'm like, I should val
you almost got you almost timpted.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But I had shades of Drew Locke for a minute there,
because you know, Drew would have tried to squeeze that
ball in or two yeah, and it just wouldn't have
been as accurate.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So I was sitting there like, oh, I squeeze it,
and then.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Marvin takes off and I was for a minute there,
I was a fan Steve Mite, there was a film.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Fan of the game. Is still a fan A fan
of the bronc Now, I hope they win.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You weren't a fan of the Browns, And no, I'm
not a fan of the brown I mean, why would
it be a fan of the Browns?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well that means well, then I got any friends you
got on that staff.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
But you're not a fan of a fan of the
Browns and you're you're rooting for somebody.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, I'm a fan of the game. My job is
just more fun when the Broncos are winning. They lose,
like sitting here like, well, what are we gonna do
next to your kids? You know, like it sucks to
do that. After like five or six years, you're like,
well the draft it gets older for a while. It's
nice when you're like, okay, how can we tweet this
thing to make this thing better? You know, we need
a little bit stronger running game. We need to figure
that out. We got we got some players that we
need to sort of figure out the rotation. We need
(17:41):
a tight end weapon. You know, that's gonna be something
that's gonna have to be a circle priority. And on
the defensive side next year you're probably replacing DJ.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You don't need a nose.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You're gonna need a little more safety help back there,
a little more, you know something in the second But
overall you look at this thinking, you're like, you know this,
this is kind of an autopilot. You really don't have
that much you're gonna turn over.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That you're gonna have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, And you got players who want it, man, Guys
who enjoy playing with each other.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's a that's a big part of it too.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Teammates who get along and can be in the same
room and uh and work hard for each other.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Man, that's that's huge. You think it's uh do you
think it's big that this team is the third youngest
team in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do you think it's big that this team is so
young that they don't a lot of the players that
they got rid of. There's the losing culture almost doesn't
exist there anymore. I mean, you've got guys like Bowls
or Courtland who have been here through that, but there
aren't a lot of players really that have been here
for the losing portion of that.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
A lot of these guys are just too young to
know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Do you think that that's a big part of where
the success is now and not just getting mired in
when you lose games, that's here we go again.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yeah, it may be because that that certainly can prevail
in the locker room when you.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Have guys who just you know, not not one.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Over over the course of their careers and when things
start going bad, what do you what do they do?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Here we go again? So yeah, I definitely think that
it's good.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That it's it's it's a younger locker room there.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
We got a lot of those experience.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, we got we got a lot of stuff coming
in on the tax line five six six nine zero.
We'll get to that here when we come back with
the Hall of Famer. Steve that Water, benmall By grand Smith.
He listen to Bbroncos Country and I.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
On KWA Cleveland first and ten aeth or thirty. Denver
had twenty eight to seventeen Winston playfake blitz on the way.
Barton's picked up deep ball and Judy is wide open.
Judy makes the catch and he's going to rop into
the north end zone, stop at the one, and fall
backwards into the end zone amidst a ton of booze.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I mean, everybody's trashing Lee by Wallace. They I don't
want to do. Uh, I don't want to do with that.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
But it did felt like he took two l's like
cool j because it was uh, it was crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It was it was a great day, you know. But
I thought up to not hey, I thought I thought
that he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I think he's not the same thing.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He's a good corner you can have trained camp.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He was the guy who's picking him off in red
zone work all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Uh so it's not the end of the league by Wallace.
Hut Hey. We got to play some things up though. Definitely.
We got a lot of texts that are coming in.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get to some of
these the seven two oh asking was it Judy being
good or Wallace sucking that bad? I mean, honestly, dude,
like I'll say this, it was Judy being good because
if it had been any other backup corner the league that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You still think he would have got two thirty five.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
The man got twenty yards on Patser Tann and while
that may not seem like something, most people are only
getting twenty yards on Patser Tana and Sir Tan covered
him sixty percent of the game. So you know, I
Judy was on one. I'm just gonna tip my cap
on back man.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And not only was he on one, Jameis Winston was
intensely looking for him.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Oh Jerry, Yeah, they were feeding him. I mean James
Jamis was like, look, I you know I are to
a tow is so here, let me feed you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah. It was oh man Jamis man kiddy game speeches.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I was, I went over to the brown was on
the brown sideline pregame or whatever, watching him with the
offensive lineman. He is something else that is just a character.
Man Like he is just a character?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
How are the rest of his teammate's looking at him when.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's he's edith w thing was kind of like a
little cringe before know that was back.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That was a little cringey. Oh and there was a
great somebody did a great sketch on that one one time.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I think a Spice Adams who was you know, you know,
doing his little sketch thing on it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was pretty funny. You guys can look that up.
But no, he was he was his offensive line like
he was, you know, getting.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Into it with each one individual, little motivational speech for
each one eat pottage and then you know, and it
was just I was like, this dude, like you see
some of the stuff and you're like, this gotta be
a joke, but then you see it like in person
and not on.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
TV, and no, that's who that dude is, Like that
cat is this guy and this is what he does.
So you know, it's funny. It's because.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
There's most locked rooms that I've been in, there would
be somebody that will say, might get out of my
face with that.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, but there wasn't.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Any of that like these guys like they they seemed
genuinely receptive to it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
There wasn't anybody who was like, man, you know you
could tell by the body language, right.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Was there anybody sitting on the base thought he was
doing it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well the offensive line because it was it was pretty
it was pretty game and they were doing it, you know,
and he was doing all this kind of stuff, and
he was coming up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
To each offensive line. Then he got mass to mask.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He was getting those little hype up speech and stuff,
and I'm like, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Mean all right, yeah, you know, you know, people you
can do that. But because some.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Guys on the team new, you know how it is,
how everybody prepares differently for games. You know, some guys,
you know, they listen to some guy me listening to
jazz music. Guys some guys hard you know, hip hop
or I gotta keep it loose.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I gotta keep it loose, keep it funny. Yeah you know,
I mean, you know me like, I gotta keep it loose.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I gotta keep it funny. So for me, you know,
if he's get up on my face.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Of the mat, I'm gonna reach around like like squeeze
pleeeze about the backside just to like make him laugh
up and crack, because that's what's gonna get me going,
Like I need. I need to be loose and funny,
you know, like they kind of thing. Otherwise I'm gonna
get tense and that's no good. Like but he was mad.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It was. It's intense I'll just say that he is
an intense dude. Before I'd be interested.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
It'll be interested in to know from somebody in that
locker room, what's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I mean, are they really into.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It like that?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I would imagine there are.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Some guys didn't watch whatever?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Not everybody? Is it? Not? Not everybody's in. I guarantee you.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
That probably, And that's part of the reason Mark Cooper's gone.
But I think that, like to be fair, I think
that I think that they after after Deshaun Watson, I
think having somebody who can throw the football down the field,
I think they're just like, you know what, what if this works,
then you.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Know what I'll get. I'll get with it. I'll get
with the program.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And that's what it feels like, uh to me, a
lot of questions coming in here. I'll try to get to,
like I said, get some of these defense almost cost
us the game, but also won us the game.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
That's fair, I mean, because they gave up.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
They were they were giving up the goodies to Jerry,
but the two pick sixties plus the game.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
SI, man, they made so many plays. Man, you gotta
you gotta kind of give it both.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You gotta give them their flowers and then kind of
take the flowers back, like we'll put these a hole
for next week.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
After this Jerry.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Judy fiasco, don't let this happen with Josh Downs or
Alec Pearce or Michael Pimman.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
A lot of it was Jerry good or wall Is bad.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No way Jerry makes the tackle on Barton if it
was against any other team, let's see what didn't he Yeah,
I mean kind of, But for me, I was just
like when Jerry made the tackle and I knew it
was over because Barton picked it. But I was like
with Jerry made the tackles, like, of course Jerry Jude
bade the tackle.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's that night where he's just like, you know, I
think somebody, I.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Think somebody in our fantasy league pointed out he's worth
like forty five points on the night, which is just
a third number.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So that's you know, that's fascinating. The two on four
speak the truth on Indy. Please.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Nobody seems to understand if we lose this game, it's
over for the Broncos against any That's the thing I'm
trying to tell you guys, Like you had to check
the box against Cleveland. But this one matters because it
is the only team. Like, it's you and Indy for
that last seed.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So you bumped them off. Then you're playing for seating.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
On the other thing, and you get the you get
the one game advantage with the tie breaker there. So
an Indye schedule down the stretch man, it's so easy, Yes,
so much easier the Broncos schedule we already know. Right,
you got a short week game against the Los Angeles Chargers,
who already kind of put it to us. Uh, you
got the Cincinnati Bengals who can't stop scoring, they can't
(24:55):
stop anybody. And then you've got to finish it off
with Kansas City. And like I said, they might be
resting starters. That's that is a possibility, but it's still
Kansas City and you still should.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Not take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
They'll obviously be playing to scout you at that if
they are resting starters, they'll be playing to scout you
for the for the playoffs. So that's something to keep
your eye. Meanwhile, you got Indy, who plays us. Then
they get Tennessee at home, they're at the New York
Giants and.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Jacksonville at home.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Wow, those teams have combined for less wins than the
Broncos have on the season.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, they got seven wins between the three of them,
so like that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But also but also, you know, and then the season,
a lot of those teams who don't have anything to lose, there.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Are some of the riskiest games to play too.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I mean, yeah, you don't want to overlook them, but
I mean, these guys they can't win. Like you get
a three win Tennessee team, a two win New York
Giants team on the road, and uh, a Jacksonville team
that indies.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Only one six games themselves though they like they're like,
you know ten and you know, ten and three, ten
and two. But they will be after that stretch, they're
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
They eat the Titans, the Giants and the Jacks. Hey,
they're going to win those three games.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You don't know that. I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
May have to assume it. Yeah, I mean, these are
those teams are terrible. I mean they are, They're just terrible.
They beat Tennessee already earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now, they did lose to the.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Jags way way way back in the first week of
October by a field goal at thirty seven to thirty four,
the most team either one of those teams have scored
all year. But uh yeah, it look these are three
games you got to anticipate them winning. So if you're
the Broncos, you need this game to have the leg up.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
So like the Chiefs played the Raiders nineteen seventeen, they
almost lost.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Their game almost counting the horseshoes and as buddy, it
does not count in in final scores. Just saying five six,
six nine zero is the text line two one forces
Browns should have kicked the field goal much earlier on
that last drive and give them time for an onside kick.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
In hindsight, probably and probably more teams should do that.
But a lot of coaches feel like if.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
The drive is being successful and they're getting down there,
it's easier to get the touchdown and then hope because
the feudal is easier to get right, you know, than
the touchdowns. It says down first, ye right. So you
know that's one of those things that that you have
to kind of you kind of look out for something.
I don't think Indy is very good, but I'm nervous
if we don't play Riley Moss. That's d Yan Monument yeah,
(27:12):
the four, one, three, and this is I'm gonna give
myself a little pat on the back here, but I'm
not sure if it's been discussed yet, but bo is
only eight yards shive hitting the over on a season
long passing yardage total prop. So you remember the sportsbook
said the bronc is only get five and a half wins, ye,
And I was like, over, bet you over on that. Well,
the other one was like, I have personally have a
ticket on boneckx passing yardage because they only Yeah, that's
(27:33):
a that's what you get a betting ticket bet, So
that's you know. I went, bet, I bet on Bonix's
passing yardage over. As soon as he gets eight more yards,
he's over. And we're we have how many games left
in the season, but four games left, so that yeah,
that one's gonna cash very easy. But he mentions that
he was like, uh, after listening to the show, I
put that ticket in back in June. I hope to
(27:54):
enjoy watching that cash. Hope you all have a good
holiday season. That's from Colin in New Hampshire, Share we
go and making people mindy. I'm just we just trying
to I hope everybody gets a bag the nine to
seven zero. The most irritating thing about last night was
all the three and outs. I despise those. That's some
nocnam there.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Were there were some of those.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I mean in like forty five seconds, I mean quick,
and it's been a problem, right, We've talked about that
at the end of the Raiders game there where I
was like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know you got to put one run in there somewhere? Yeah,
so weak and half that I thought I thought would
job and at least to.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
This question, real quick, we'll get this one in before
traffic here, real quick says if the four, one seven,
if you could change one thing that would immediately make
the run game better or more effective, what would it
be play calling this cution personnel. There has to be
something it can be done to give the run game
an immediate boost. Maybe not a permanent fix, but make
it a reliable piece of the arsenal.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
For me, it'd be just sticking with it. I don't
think we're consistent. I think we get away from it
too much. Sean Payton goes back to the pass because
he's used to Drew Brees and throwing it fifty times
a game.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And I think offensive linemen.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
When you when when you go away from it, I
think it takes something away from them because they feel
like when they can establish that dominance on the offensive
line early, that they can keep it going throughout the game.
But when it's kind of spotty, you know, it may
not feel they may not feel.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
As confident about it. It may not.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Let's find out the confident you should be in your
drive is the spot here night with traffic with Devil
Bryant five six sixty nine zero is the text line
seven one nine says those teams are not very good,
but they did manage a few wins. I'm assuming he's
talking about the cult schedule down a stretch, which is
very very easy. I feel on paper, it's the Titans
at the Giants and Jack. You get the Titans and
(29:34):
Jags at home and the Giants on a road, all
on Sunday games.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So yeah, Meanwhile, we.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Get a short week against the Chargers and we got
to turn around playing Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bengals in Cincinnati. Grant Smith's Cincinnati Bengals. If you
want to know who he's a fan of, By the way,
he got a Denver Broncos shirt. Been a tough year, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, you put a bag over it for Cincinnati and
you take it off for Denver. He read in the
Broncos right now, so he's good. Is it gonna be
a house divided when they play? No, we're all on
the Broncos. He gets a playoff.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
He didn't even give me a hood as if I
mentioned the Bengels.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
It's an instant who you didn't even give me one.
I see that. Man, that's a rough year. I'll feel
bad for him now. Ull in on the Broncos. He
turned on the team. He's turned on just just not really.
He just jumped off the bandwagon, lit it on a
fire on the way off. Hey, we've got plenty of years.
Joe Burrows championship window is his whole career.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
As he said before that the Broncos are on one
this year and the Bengals are pretty much out of it.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I'm rolling with the Broncos this year. Okay, Hey,
you're getting this train. You may not, Baby, get off
because I hope. I believe, Baby, I like it. I'm believing.
There we go, all right. I feel like, uh, I
feel like we're capitalizing on this. But I hope everybody
has a married little nix miss this summer, so we'll see.
You see, we got a lot of things. We're putting
(30:52):
all the slogans in.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
We're trying to get to I'm trying to get to
Dave Temper to start using that for the marketing stuff.
I figure if I say it off, he'll just you know,
acquiesce and do it anyway. No'm not gonna switch it up,
but I'm gonna do the other slogan too. See what
he need toke me off the air. They're not gonna
switch up.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
That's oh my goodness. Five six zeros a tax line
two or four?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
How is Jaliel so successful running the ball with his
mere presence on the fields?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Ten's about to run the ball. He has no fear
and he has heart.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, And it was good to see them using him
between the tackles because it felt like you brought him
in and it was gonna be a picture toss play.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then I'm like, but there's no surprise to this.
If you bring him in, you're tipping and they let him.
They let him run it up to say, and he
can do it. He's he's been doing it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He's doing You're small, doesn't mean.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You can't run between the tackles as war done. Yeah,
that's a good point. That's a good point. And Jalil
has done that his entire rid. Do you do in college? Yeah,
you know, I mean, give give the guy an opportunity.
Phil Lindsay was fine between the tackles. You know, he's
tough man. He's a tough kid.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I like it. He was a tough, tough young man.
Well he was, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I mean, he's tough, Yeah, he was. I mean he
went from sleeping in his car in high school. They
were holmeless. He was sleeping on a car and you know,
trying to make things work and all that kind of
stuff to you know, to where he is now.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He really worked himself to where he is. It's a
great story if you have a chance to read.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Our friend Mike Kaye works for the Charlotte Observer, wrote
up a great, great piece on him a couple of
weeks back when we're playing the Panthers, and I managed
to tweet that out.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You go back and find it. I'll try to dig
it back up. Great piece on Julil.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Yeah, and like you heard what Sean Payton says, He's
normally the first person in the building.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And many times I'll leave my office and he's down
in the practice facility, running, stretching.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
We're all types of extra stuff. Nobody else is there. Yeah,
and Steve's the last one out. So I say, Steve's
like taking notes on who said.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
He's reporting back to the the Walt peedtigre of Actually
Sean Payne cut out early tonight out here in nine thirty.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I don't get that kidding, I'm kidding, no, But that's
just that's impressive though, And that just goes to show
his work ethic.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And when you watch him practice, you see but you
see it. He's running.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's a good dude, good story. The guy who knows
what it takes to succeed as willing to put the
extra work in. You always root for the extra effort guy. Absolutely,
that's a that's a big thing, Steve. We got the
bye week this week.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What is the most difficult thing about keeping guys focused
during the bye Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Well, I think that, Uh one, you gotta make sure
you guys no party too hard. You want to have
some fun, but don't go overboard. Listen, Well, don't go overboard.
He got waved today, but otherwise we listen Josh Reynolds.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Uh he got waved. Yeah you didn't know. Yeah, we
wave Josh Reynel's today. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well, I mean back in the day, that would have
happened probably sooner than you know, she had.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
The I R and everything else to Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I hate to see that for him because I think
he's a player. I thought he was gonna contribute. He
was contributing Priyer's injury. Yeah, so uh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Want to keep kids that, you want to keep people
out of the club. You want to keep you knows
as a as a call. You mean you're just sitting
there a crossing your fingers. But it's a player, Like,
how do you keep yourself dial in?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, I mean you got to look at the example
right there. I mean they made an example out of
just Reynolds. I mean, if you don't take care of
your business, it's what you're not. You're not gonna be here.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know. You got to make sure that you're a
professional in every environment.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And I think that's more so I think the guys
are in shape.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Now, the guys, you know that they know the workout routines.
They I think they're pretty familiar with the with the
playbook and all that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So I don't think that's an issue.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
The issue is get into something that you're not supposed
to get into, right, So uh, I think it's.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Been a good break for them.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
It's perfect timing and the guy is gonna come back
ready to finish off strong.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Hopefully we needed Indianapolis currents. Hopefully. Man, it's happening.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Facts okay, all right, well the facts, not a facts
like Eli Stuberville that we don't guess, not an fax, okay,
just making sure we gotta.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Be we gotta we gotta hit a break here, Steve.
I appreciate you coming in here and
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Joining us as always, Broncos Country Tonight, Rosal after this
Playfake.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Winston throws in the in the end zone and throws
it to Cody Barton, and Barton's got a chance to
house call Barton down the east sideline. They catch him
at midfield. Cody Barton for Cody Barton. That's his second
interception of the season, and that will do it with
thirty four seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
By the way, I'm pretty sure it was Jerry Judy
that tackled Cody Barton.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Way, what did he not do in that game?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Bege would all right the Hall of Fame or Steve
at watagrast Smith here with you Broncos country tonight on
a victory tooth day, and my goodness, was that one
heck of a football game or a Monday night game
for the Denver Broncos. I thought it was gonna be
a tight, tough game. I did all week. I was
a little nervous. I said it was gonna be a tight,
tough game. I did not think it was gonna have
seventy three points scored, that we.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Were gonna see multiple pick sixes.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It was.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
On a house call.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It was a game and Jerry Judy going off for
five and a toddy.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I did not foresee any of that. I definitely did.
I see that.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
And I've always thought ever since we had drafted Jeredy
and he was an extremely talented player. I hate that,
you know. I hate the way things kind of went
down with him here. And I also think that we
have never really, we never really fed him the ball
the way that they were feeding him the ball. Your
I don't know if you can do that, especially when
(01:23):
you got you know, the amount of receivers that we had.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But man, they got him the ball.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And he was he was, he showed out, he had
he had a really good game.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm gonna start it off and I'm gonna get this
out of the way because the fans screaming Jerry Judy sucks.
You guys gotta stop. Come on, We're not doing this
is never Broncos case. We're not that soft. Stop doing that.
Jerry Judy talked all that mess, and he came in
here and backed it up.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
What do we do.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We tipped the cap and say, hey, hold this hell
all the way back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But I gotta say this.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Too, It'll have been interesting if Roddy Muss would have
been healthy.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, and we'll get to that.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I mean, there's been a scenario where a white Broncos
been missed more.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Than that since so the last time they were out
looking for Al Colling's.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
But it was, I mean, it was it was something that,
it was something else. It was watching Jerry Judy do that.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I think there was a bitterness, maybe a little bit
on the on the side or on of Broncos fans
because they're like, where was this for us?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Where was Where was when Jerry Judy was here? Where
was this for us? And I have a statistic I'll
tell you what, though, there were a lot of places
he was open and we didn't give him a ball. Well,
there were places where he was up we did give
him a ball.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, there were a couple of instances where they tried
to feed him with Russ I think late that first
season after Courtland went down. But it's just, you know,
in the end, it just didn't work out. And I
think both teams are better for it. I think the
Broncos is a better for Jerry Judy been and Jerry's
having a career renaissance to wit. Yeah, Jerry Judy has
sixteen percent of his total NFL production over the last thirty.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Six days that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Since Jameis Winston has become the quarterback of the Browns,
Jerry Judy is having a renaissance. Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
And I know he's he's got to be on cloud
and I know, I know he's hate. He got to
hate that they're losing, but he's got to feel good
about his production. And at the end of the day,
you gotta, you gotta do your job. Every players gotta.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Do their job.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Windows draw, you gotta, you gotta do your job. Obviously
you prefer win.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But Jerry Judy had more receiving yards than Deshaun Watson
ever had passing yards you're talking about with brown with
the Browns one hundred serious, that's crazy. And more receiving
yards last night than Deshaun ever had.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
This is insane. That's insane. So I mean, look, I
tip my captain Jerry Judy.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, it sucks that he that he roasted us and
all that kind of stuff, but you gotta you have
to And I'm a player. I gotta ask you this.
You have to admire because I I I you know me.
I love to spack you know, I am at there.
I love to smack talk.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I love it. But I also love getting it back.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And so you got an opposing player smack talk you
all week and then came in and did the thing. Hey, man,
I gotta tip the cap. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna
need to get by holding this hell. You know, it's
Cleveland for a reason, not Cleve. We've lan and so
you know you gotta hold this l But at the
same time, man, respect because if it were easy, even
if it's a backup corner, even if it's a Levi Wallace,
(04:10):
even if it's whatever, probably two thirty five, and if
it were easy to do it on a backup corner,
you'd see other people doing.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It on a backup corner. Yeah, yeah, no, I agree
with that.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And I think most of the guys, you know, they
congratulated him.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Definitely didn't like it, you know, and I know Levi
Wallace didn't like it. The rest of the DBS didn't
like it.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
But you know, hey, sometimes sometimes guys after day in
the end, don't think that matters?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is did you get the dumb it is? And now
that matters?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Now you've got the bye week going into arguably the
most important game in Denver. Man, this is the most
important game in Denver since probably the run to the
Super Bowl, because this team, this is the one team.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You've you've got to eliminate.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This is the one team you've got The Indianapolis Colts
schedule from here is super easy.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, they have like the Titans and the Jags left.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
You've got to get the leg up on them with
the tiebreaker because the rest of your schedule is the Chargers,
who'll put it to us in that last game.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The Bengals.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
The Bengals, who's off it, by the way, have lost
thirty lost four games in which they've scored thirty plus points.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That's more than the rest of the league combined. That's crazy.
And the Kansas City Chiefs to end the season.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Now, the Chiefs may be resting starters, but that's still
you know, there's there's still something to that rivalry. So
the Broncos have a very difficult schedule down the stretch.
The Colts have a very easy schedule down the stretch.
You both have a bye week. You have to win
this game. This might be the most important game in Denver.
This might be the most important game for the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Since that run up to the Super Bowl. Fifty do you.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Think the players attitude is that that this is our
biggest game. I think you have to start to get
to that this week.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I don't think you could do that until the Cleveland
game is behind you, because you had to check that box.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What a three win football team or better than a record.
But what I'm saying mentality.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Wise, do you think they should be more like this
is another game?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
We just gotta you gotta have no business like we
all know.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think you gotta put at a circle. Man, you
gotta circles. You got two weeks to sit there. You
gotta keep guys focus. You got a buy week. You
gotta do a players on a buy. You got to
keep them dialed in. You know, you know how it
is on a buy.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
But I've also been on teams when we've elevated the
competition and man, it just never worked. No, we we
gotta keep them just like this is another game.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Them. Yeah, yes, they're beatable.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
They took a two point conversion of quarterback sneak it
in at the end of the game to beat the Patriots.
Elevating that's the thing though, I'm elevating the moment, not
the team.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's the thing though. That's what I'm talking about elevating
the moment, like, oh man, this is like this, this
is the goodness for everything. Man, did you get a
let down after that?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh yeah, Okay, you can't do it because hey man,
we all go outred. We're gonna do what we've been doing.
We don't be stay consistent. We're gonna come to work,
we're gonna practice hard. We're gonna make sure we know
our defense is up. Offense first teams up and down, and.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
We'll go down and we just gonna let them line
well Lebron.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Because they've either got to get Riley Moss back or
figure something out of the corner.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Because you can't continue to do what you were doing
in that game.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
With all due respect to Levion Wallace, we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Later they went to Chris Abram drain.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, before things went down the drain and they turned
to the to Abrams drain. They look next, the next
game is against guys. We've got Alec Pierce, who has
old world speed. Jerry Judy's fast. Alec Pierce makes Jerry
Jude look slow, that's how fast he is. So you
can't you can't have that kind of stuff in this
coming game. You've got to win that game.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's the way I think we
feel going into every game.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Really, that's that's the mentality we're point now where we're
pushing for the playoffs. The Colts have a cake schedule
in front of them. We've got a tough schedule in
front of it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And that's the team.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
We're the ones fighting out for the seven seed.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, but again, I've been on teams where we elevated
this moment and it's just never it's just never worked.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, it's never worked for me. So you didn't use
like the eminem hype up.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You only get one shot, one opportunity, Mom spaghetti, Sure
did it work for you when you were in high school?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I mean no, we didn't have moments like that. We
were just good.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Okay, Okay, I didn't have Yeah, I got yeah, we
gonna beat these boys anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Pretty much, there was I mean there was one team
in our you know that it was a private school
that recruited the state and you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But yeah, what happened that we usually lost it. This
is hype.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The didn't even kick it even but you remember, you
know that you ever seen the coach that doesn't uh,
they didn't punt on a fourth down past it was
plastic kep that's who that was our big yeah. Oh man,
he went for it for down. Yeah, they went for whatever.
They didn't punt. They never, they don't ever. I think
you had three punts in the season. They don't punt.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
If they turned it over and down sometimes, okay, I mean,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Very very they ran a hurry up, no huddle on
offense and they don't punt.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh dang it was. I mean, you're just like you
by four down your gass, you know. I mean, like
you guys are just sitting there like yeah, and they deliberate.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
They do things deliberately like run you know, you run
the play to uh to their sideline on second or
third down so we can't get those petties across the
field and stuff like that, and be like man, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Ever since, like the coach his name.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Is Kevin Kelly, he now works for over Warren Sharp
and does he's done some college stuff everything else since
we've become friends since then.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But boy, we hated that, we hated them back in
the day, so he's become one of your insiders.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I mean, you know, not even like that, but I
guess he's a good football mind to talk to you
just outside the box type thinking. I mean, who doesn't punt?
You know, so you know it's the stuf you gotta
you got to be confident, Yeah, to not toun well,
I mean yeah, players, well you gotta. Yeah, but you
gotta you got a system, you believe in a players
to execute it. But that's you know, that's Anyboddy. I
(09:49):
think this game for me really kind of did it.
I know it's against a team that nobody expects to
do anything.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm like, okay, this is a playoff team. I'm a
boat leaver, he's a bulliegue blankets and the driver. I'm
just saying, like, this is a.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Game where I come wrong. I needed to see the
offense do it right.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
And because you can talk about Atlanta, but but the
defense held Atlanta to six points. It wasn't just the offense.
The defense held Atlanta to six points right. This was
a game where the offense was counter punching when they
needed to, They came up with plays when they needed to.
And yes, the defense got the pick six's and to
see the game stealer, they still held up their ends.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
The best question though, because this is on my mind
when you said that, are you a Broco fan?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I mean, I don't know if I'm a Broncos fan.
I cover the team and I'm glad when they win
because it makes this job a lot more fun.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know if you're a fan, come on the
game of football. I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's not a it's not a team that you like.
I grew up a little in the city, but I don't.
I don't really root for that. It's not a root fan.
You didn't grow up with city man. You didn't chiefs man.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Just because you just say that when they when they
were losing. Uh, well, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, I mean, but it's not a rooting I don't
have a rooting interest in Kansas City. I'm so far
disconnected from that. I mean that was when I was
twelve years old. I'm so far disconnected from I mean,
this's thirty years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, you know, like, I'm so far distant a team
that's a favorite team. No, damn, I mean, dang, No,
you're good. You head to right first time. No, I
mean I really don't.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I mean I root for my friends so like I'm
root for you know, I root for the Arizona Cardinals
because John Annon's coaching there.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I root for the Commanders because you know.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Dan Quinn and uh and coach Pagatana were out there,
you know, coaching for them.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's like I root for my friends to do well.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But like, I don't have a I don't have a
team that I'm like, I'm invested in them winning. I
love it when the Broncos win because it makes this
job a lot more fun than I've gone.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Through a lot of losing here over the last ten years. Yeah, yeah,
a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's funny because when I got into this market. I
was talking with Brian Edwards about this yesterday. When I
got into this market, one of the first things I
said was these fans are spoiled.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The Diver fans are spoiled.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Because when I got to this market was it was
it was during the Peyton Manning era. I was right
before Super and you know, you guys had fewer losing
seasons than championships under the.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Pat Bowling Yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I was like, you guys don't understand what losing is like.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
And I was asking him.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I was like, does it make it sweeter where the
Broncos are now having gone through the valley of the
last ten years and finally understanding what being a loser is.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Hmm, yeah, I would imagine. So you have to appreciate it.
I feel like it was.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I feel like this fan base can appreciate this more
because of what they've been through.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
They don't.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This isn't a fan base that expects championships every year.
They'll get back to that if this thing continues, But.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
It isn't a It isn't a fan base that expects
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
In fact, they're expecting the shooters the other shooter drop
most of the time.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Well, I think with all of the gambling, and you know,
with with so much emphasis on that, people are looking
and see and seeing what's the under, what's the over?
How many games are is the team expected to win?
And when the pundits or the specialists, well, what have
you wished?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Every one? You won't call.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Them when they say we're alway supposed to win five games?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
The sports books got to said five and a half six?
You know, I mean, what what, what what do you think?
I think, like a man, I think it stems back
from the Bonnicks draft pick because you had all these
people grading it, you know, grading, and I hate that.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
What are you doing great in a draft?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
After it happened, these guys have played well, you know,
you can't grade this thing for twit three years, that's
a grading it because they gotta do it right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We gotta have instant grades on everything now.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
And then they're calling it a D or a C
minus or whatever, all this kind of stuff. And to
make for and Sean Payton, to his credit, I don't
know if you remember the press conference with him and
Georgia up there, and because I was sitting right there
from a row for it, and and they were Sean Payton,
I can't believe he was cocky, believe he was arrogant.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He was.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
He's like, we just do it better than we just
avaluate quarters better better than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Like he was just we tricked him to take a
JAJ McCard.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
He was arrogant, and I was like, bro, like if
this blows up in your face.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
But to his credit, to Sean Payton's credit, it has
really worked out. It has and uh, I've always said it.
Sound is a smart man. He's a very smart man.
He's a smart football guy. He's just wait forgotten more
about football than I'll ever know.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Whatever, my my axe to grind that i've you know,
and that's whatever, but bust of, that's for show. Whatever
my act to grind is there, which is you know,
I'm doing an air quotes here in the studio.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Guy knows more about football than I ever will. He's
this more guy. And did anybody think that it was
the other way around? What do you mean that you?
I hope not. Okay, I thought you were. I mean,
I'll get around the room my own thought, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Know, But I mean, like the point being is that,
you know, Sean Payton, I have you know, I mean,
how did you only win one Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Drew Brees?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You know if there are questions I have about that?
All the other quarterbacks you drafted, like none of them
ever did anything in the league, But you came into
this thing disconvicted about bone Ix, Like you know, why,
what what was the miss up with all this other stuff?
And so I have questions about that. But at this
point I don't want to get into that. I want
to celebrate the winning. I want to celebrate I want
to be positive about it and that kind of stuff.
The the Bonick stuff though, the the the absolute overflowing
(14:58):
arrogance that he had in that press conference.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Looks validated, now yeah, looks justified now yeah. And I think.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
If you've if you've played the game on any level, Yeah,
even guys who haven't played the game, if you look
at tape on bowt knicks from college, especially at Oregon
m you.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Know that this guy, he doesn't make a ton of mistakes.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
He doesn't turn the ball over well, I mean every
now man, you know there's an interception.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Uh, he doesn't fumble the ball. It doesn't take sax.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
It doesn't think bad decisions because over and over and
over again, one of those interceptions was on the receiver,
the one that the first one that bounced up out
of the hands, so that wouldn't want to bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I hate that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
In fact, I wish they would classify, would classify interception
that was hit receivers in the hands and bounce up.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You know, I wish.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, I feel like they hit the hit the receiver
in the hands too or something though, and then the
defender tipped it up or something.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, the defender got his hand in there. Yeah, that
was a good defense. Plate.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Oh I'm not I'm not trying to take anything away
from the defender. Want to try to say, is that
I mean that really went on the quarterback. He put
the ball, we're supposed to be the receiver, just did
not keep keep possession of it, did.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Not throwing get his hand on the ball that was
thrown't as brad as it should have been.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't know if you could even get it in there.
I mean we saw him get it in there.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
To Marvin, that was that was I was sitting there,
I read the whole way just watching.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That was in the corner covers. Yeah, it was inverted
to he's trying to play cover to them from bump Yep,
it's inverted. Yeah, it's inverted to. He's supposed to he's
supposed to ride the rails.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
All that.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It's inverted to. And you see it coming the whole
way and I'm I'm looking at this, I'm like, oh
my god, the post is gonna end, missus on the.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Posts on the post, And I'm like, I should val
you almost got you almost timpted.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
But I had shades of Drew Locke for a minute there,
because you know, Drew would have tried to squeeze that
ball in or two yeah, and it just wouldn't have
been as accurate.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So I was sitting there like, oh, I squeeze it,
and then.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Marvin takes off and I was for a minute there,
I was a fan Steve Mite, there was a film.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Fan of the game. Is still a fan A fan
of the bronc Now, I hope they win.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
You weren't a fan of the Browns, And no, I'm
not a fan of the brown I mean, why would
it be a fan of the Browns?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well that means well, then I got any friends you
got on that staff.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
But you're not a fan of a fan of the
Browns and you're you're rooting for somebody.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Well, I'm a fan of the game. My job is
just more fun when the Broncos are winning. They lose,
like sitting here like, well, what are we gonna do
next to your kids? You know, like it sucks to
do that. After like five or six years, you're like,
well the draft it gets older for a while. It's
nice when you're like, okay, how can we tweet this
thing to make this thing better? You know, we need
a little bit stronger running game. We need to figure
that out. We got we got some players that we
need to sort of figure out the rotation. We need
(17:41):
a tight end weapon. You know, that's gonna be something
that's gonna have to be a circle priority. And on
the defensive side next year you're probably replacing DJ.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You don't need a nose.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You're gonna need a little more safety help back there,
a little more, you know something in the second But
overall you look at this thinking, you're like, you know this,
this is kind of an autopilot. You really don't have
that much you're gonna turn over.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That you're gonna have to deal with.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, And you got players who want it, man, Guys
who enjoy playing with each other.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's a that's a big part of it too.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Teammates who get along and can be in the same
room and uh and work hard for each other.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Man, that's that's huge. You think it's uh do you
think it's big that this team is the third youngest
team in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do you think it's big that this team is so
young that they don't a lot of the players that
they got rid of. There's the losing culture almost doesn't
exist there anymore. I mean, you've got guys like Bowls
or Courtland who have been here through that, but there
aren't a lot of players really that have been here
for the losing portion of that.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
A lot of these guys are just too young to
know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Do you think that that's a big part of where
the success is now and not just getting mired in
when you lose games, that's here we go again.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yeah, it may be because that that certainly can prevail
in the locker room when you.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Have guys who just you know, not not one.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Over over the course of their careers and when things
start going bad, what do you what do they do?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Here we go again? So yeah, I definitely think that
it's good.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
That it's it's it's a younger locker room there.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
We got a lot of those experience.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, we got we got a lot of stuff coming
in on the tax line five six six nine zero.
We'll get to that here when we come back with
the Hall of Famer. Steve that Water, benmall By grand Smith.
He listen to Bbroncos Country and I.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
On KWA Cleveland first and ten aeth or thirty. Denver
had twenty eight to seventeen Winston playfake blitz on the way.
Barton's picked up deep ball and Judy is wide open.
Judy makes the catch and he's going to rop into
the north end zone, stop at the one, and fall
backwards into the end zone amidst a ton of booze.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I mean, everybody's trashing Lee by Wallace. They I don't
want to do. Uh, I don't want to do with that.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
But it did felt like he took two l's like
cool j because it was uh, it was crazy.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It was it was a great day, you know. But
I thought up to not hey, I thought I thought
that he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I think he's not the same thing.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He's a good corner you can have trained camp.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
He was the guy who's picking him off in red
zone work all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Uh so it's not the end of the league by Wallace.
Hut Hey. We got to play some things up though. Definitely.
We got a lot of texts that are coming in.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get to some of
these the seven two oh asking was it Judy being
good or Wallace sucking that bad? I mean, honestly, dude,
like I'll say this, it was Judy being good because
if it had been any other backup corner the league that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You still think he would have got two thirty five.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
The man got twenty yards on Patser Tann and while
that may not seem like something, most people are only
getting twenty yards on Patser Tana and Sir Tan covered
him sixty percent of the game. So you know, I
Judy was on one. I'm just gonna tip my cap
on back man.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And not only was he on one, Jameis Winston was
intensely looking for him.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Oh Jerry, Yeah, they were feeding him. I mean James
Jamis was like, look, I you know I are to
a tow is so here, let me feed you.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Yeah. It was oh man Jamis man kiddy game speeches.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I was, I went over to the brown was on
the brown sideline pregame or whatever, watching him with the
offensive lineman. He is something else that is just a character.
Man Like he is just a character?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
How are the rest of his teammate's looking at him when.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
He's he's edith w thing was kind of like a
little cringe before know that was back.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
That was a little cringey. Oh and there was a
great somebody did a great sketch on that one one time.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I think a Spice Adams who was you know, you know,
doing his little sketch thing on it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was pretty funny. You guys can look that up.
But no, he was he was his offensive line like
he was, you know, getting.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Into it with each one individual, little motivational speech for
each one eat pottage and then you know, and it
was just I was like, this dude, like you see
some of the stuff and you're like, this gotta be
a joke, but then you see it like in person
and not on.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
TV, and no, that's who that dude is, Like that
cat is this guy and this is what he does.
So you know, it's funny. It's because.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
There's most locked rooms that I've been in, there would
be somebody that will say, might get out of my
face with that.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, but there wasn't.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Any of that like these guys like they they seemed
genuinely receptive to it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
There wasn't anybody who was like, man, you know you
could tell by the body language, right.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Was there anybody sitting on the base thought he was
doing it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well the offensive line because it was it was pretty
it was pretty game and they were doing it, you know,
and he was doing all this kind of stuff, and
he was coming up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
To each offensive line. Then he got mass to mask.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He was getting those little hype up speech and stuff,
and I'm like, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Mean all right, yeah, you know, you know, people you
can do that. But because some.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Guys on the team new, you know how it is,
how everybody prepares differently for games. You know, some guys,
you know, they listen to some guy me listening to
jazz music. Guys some guys hard you know, hip hop
or I gotta keep it loose.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I gotta keep it loose, keep it funny. Yeah you know,
I mean, you know me like, I gotta keep it loose.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I gotta keep it funny. So for me, you know,
if he's get up on my face.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Of the mat, I'm gonna reach around like like squeeze
pleeeze about the backside just to like make him laugh
up and crack, because that's what's gonna get me going,
Like I need. I need to be loose and funny,
you know, like they kind of thing. Otherwise I'm gonna
get tense and that's no good. Like but he was mad.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
It was. It's intense I'll just say that he is
an intense dude. Before I'd be interested.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
It'll be interested in to know from somebody in that
locker room, what's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I mean, are they really into.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It like that?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I would imagine there are.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Some guys didn't watch whatever?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Not everybody? Is it? Not? Not everybody's in. I guarantee you.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
That probably, And that's part of the reason Mark Cooper's gone.
But I think that, like to be fair, I think
that I think that they after after Deshaun Watson, I
think having somebody who can throw the football down the field,
I think they're just like, you know what, what if this works,
then you.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Know what I'll get. I'll get with it. I'll get
with the program.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
And that's what it feels like, uh to me, a
lot of questions coming in here. I'll try to get to,
like I said, get some of these defense almost cost
us the game, but also won us the game.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
That's fair, I mean, because they gave up.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
They were they were giving up the goodies to Jerry,
but the two pick sixties plus the game.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
SI, man, they made so many plays. Man, you gotta
you gotta kind of give it both.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You gotta give them their flowers and then kind of
take the flowers back, like we'll put these a hole
for next week.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
After this Jerry.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Judy fiasco, don't let this happen with Josh Downs or
Alec Pearce or Michael Pimman.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
A lot of it was Jerry good or wall Is bad.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No way Jerry makes the tackle on Barton if it
was against any other team, let's see what didn't he Yeah,
I mean kind of, But for me, I was just
like when Jerry made the tackle and I knew it
was over because Barton picked it. But I was like
with Jerry made the tackles, like, of course Jerry Jude
bade the tackle.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
It's that night where he's just like, you know, I
think somebody, I.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Think somebody in our fantasy league pointed out he's worth
like forty five points on the night, which is just
a third number.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So that's you know, that's fascinating. The two on four
speak the truth on Indy. Please.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Nobody seems to understand if we lose this game, it's
over for the Broncos against any That's the thing I'm
trying to tell you guys, Like you had to check
the box against Cleveland. But this one matters because it
is the only team. Like, it's you and Indy for
that last seed.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So you bumped them off. Then you're playing for seating.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
On the other thing, and you get the you get
the one game advantage with the tie breaker there. So
an Indye schedule down the stretch man, it's so easy, Yes,
so much easier the Broncos schedule we already know. Right,
you got a short week game against the Los Angeles Chargers,
who already kind of put it to us. Uh, you
got the Cincinnati Bengals who can't stop scoring, they can't
(24:55):
stop anybody. And then you've got to finish it off
with Kansas City. And like I said, they might be
resting starters. That's that is a possibility, but it's still
Kansas City and you still should.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Not take that for granted.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
They'll obviously be playing to scout you at that if
they are resting starters, they'll be playing to scout you
for the for the playoffs. So that's something to keep
your eye. Meanwhile, you got Indy, who plays us. Then
they get Tennessee at home, they're at the New York
Giants and.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Jacksonville at home.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Wow, those teams have combined for less wins than the
Broncos have on the season.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, they got seven wins between the three of them,
so like that.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But also but also, you know, and then the season,
a lot of those teams who don't have anything to lose, there.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Are some of the riskiest games to play too.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I mean, yeah, you don't want to overlook them, but
I mean, these guys they can't win. Like you get
a three win Tennessee team, a two win New York
Giants team on the road, and uh, a Jacksonville team
that indies.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Only one six games themselves though they like they're like,
you know ten and you know, ten and three, ten
and two. But they will be after that stretch, they're
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
They eat the Titans, the Giants and the Jacks. Hey,
they're going to win those three games.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You don't know that. I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
May have to assume it. Yeah, I mean, these are
those teams are terrible. I mean they are, They're just terrible.
They beat Tennessee already earlier this year.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now, they did lose to the.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Jags way way way back in the first week of
October by a field goal at thirty seven to thirty four,
the most team either one of those teams have scored
all year. But uh yeah, it look these are three
games you got to anticipate them winning. So if you're
the Broncos, you need this game to have the leg up.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
So like the Chiefs played the Raiders nineteen seventeen, they
almost lost.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Their game almost counting the horseshoes and as buddy, it
does not count in in final scores. Just saying five six,
six nine zero is the text line two one forces
Browns should have kicked the field goal much earlier on
that last drive and give them time for an onside kick.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
In hindsight, probably and probably more teams should do that.
But a lot of coaches feel like if.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
The drive is being successful and they're getting down there,
it's easier to get the touchdown and then hope because
the feudal is easier to get right, you know, than
the touchdowns. It says down first, ye right. So you
know that's one of those things that that you have
to kind of you kind of look out for something.
I don't think Indy is very good, but I'm nervous
if we don't play Riley Moss. That's d Yan Monument yeah,
(27:12):
the four, one, three, and this is I'm gonna give
myself a little pat on the back here, but I'm
not sure if it's been discussed yet, but bo is
only eight yards shive hitting the over on a season
long passing yardage total prop. So you remember the sportsbook
said the bronc is only get five and a half wins, ye,
And I was like, over, bet you over on that. Well,
the other one was like, I have personally have a
ticket on boneckx passing yardage because they only Yeah, that's
(27:33):
a that's what you get a betting ticket bet, So
that's you know. I went, bet, I bet on Bonix's
passing yardage over. As soon as he gets eight more yards,
he's over. And we're we have how many games left
in the season, but four games left, so that yeah,
that one's gonna cash very easy. But he mentions that
he was like, uh, after listening to the show, I
put that ticket in back in June. I hope to
(27:54):
enjoy watching that cash. Hope you all have a good
holiday season. That's from Colin in New Hampshire, Share we
go and making people mindy. I'm just we just trying
to I hope everybody gets a bag the nine to
seven zero. The most irritating thing about last night was
all the three and outs. I despise those. That's some
nocnam there.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Were there were some of those.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I mean in like forty five seconds, I mean quick,
and it's been a problem, right, We've talked about that
at the end of the Raiders game there where I
was like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know you got to put one run in there somewhere? Yeah,
so weak and half that I thought I thought would
job and at least to.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
This question, real quick, we'll get this one in before
traffic here, real quick says if the four, one seven,
if you could change one thing that would immediately make
the run game better or more effective, what would it
be play calling this cution personnel. There has to be
something it can be done to give the run game
an immediate boost. Maybe not a permanent fix, but make
it a reliable piece of the arsenal.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
For me, it'd be just sticking with it. I don't
think we're consistent. I think we get away from it
too much. Sean Payton goes back to the pass because
he's used to Drew Brees and throwing it fifty times
a game.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And I think offensive linemen.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
When you when when you go away from it, I
think it takes something away from them because they feel
like when they can establish that dominance on the offensive
line early, that they can keep it going throughout the game.
But when it's kind of spotty, you know, it may
not feel they may not feel.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
As confident about it. It may not.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Let's find out the confident you should be in your
drive is the spot here night with traffic with Devil
Bryant five six sixty nine zero is the text line
seven one nine says those teams are not very good,
but they did manage a few wins. I'm assuming he's
talking about the cult schedule down a stretch, which is
very very easy. I feel on paper, it's the Titans
at the Giants and Jack. You get the Titans and
(29:34):
Jags at home and the Giants on a road, all
on Sunday games.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
So yeah, Meanwhile, we.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Get a short week against the Chargers and we got
to turn around playing Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bengals in Cincinnati. Grant Smith's Cincinnati Bengals. If you
want to know who he's a fan of, By the way,
he got a Denver Broncos shirt. Been a tough year, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, you put a bag over it for Cincinnati and
you take it off for Denver. He read in the
Broncos right now, so he's good. Is it gonna be
a house divided when they play? No, we're all on
the Broncos. He gets a playoff.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
He didn't even give me a hood as if I
mentioned the Bengels.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
It's an instant who you didn't even give me one.
I see that. Man, that's a rough year. I'll feel
bad for him now. Ull in on the Broncos. He
turned on the team. He's turned on just just not really.
He just jumped off the bandwagon, lit it on a
fire on the way off. Hey, we've got plenty of years.
Joe Burrows championship window is his whole career.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
As he said before that the Broncos are on one
this year and the Bengals are pretty much out of it.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So I'm rolling with the Broncos this year. Okay, Hey,
you're getting this train. You may not, Baby, get off
because I hope. I believe, Baby, I like it. I'm believing.
There we go, all right. I feel like, uh, I
feel like we're capitalizing on this. But I hope everybody
has a married little nix miss this summer, so we'll see.
You see, we got a lot of things. We're putting
(30:52):
all the slogans in.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
We're trying to get to I'm trying to get to
Dave Temper to start using that for the marketing stuff.
I figure if I say it off, he'll just you know,
acquiesce and do it anyway. No'm not gonna switch it up,
but I'm gonna do the other slogan too. See what
he need toke me off the air. They're not gonna
switch up.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
That's oh my goodness. Five six zeros a tax line
two or four?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
How is Jaliel so successful running the ball with his
mere presence on the fields?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Ten's about to run the ball. He has no fear
and he has heart.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, And it was good to see them using him
between the tackles because it felt like you brought him
in and it was gonna be a picture toss play.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then I'm like, but there's no surprise to this.
If you bring him in, you're tipping and they let him.
They let him run it up to say, and he
can do it. He's he's been doing it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
He's doing You're small, doesn't mean.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
You can't run between the tackles as war done. Yeah,
that's a good point. That's a good point. And Jalil
has done that his entire rid. Do you do in college? Yeah,
you know, I mean, give give the guy an opportunity.
Phil Lindsay was fine between the tackles. You know, he's
tough man. He's a tough kid.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I like it. He was a tough, tough young man.
Well he was, he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
I mean, he's tough, Yeah, he was. I mean he
went from sleeping in his car in high school. They
were holmeless. He was sleeping on a car and you know,
trying to make things work and all that kind of
stuff to you know, to where he is now.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He really worked himself to where he is. It's a
great story if you have a chance to read.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Our friend Mike Kaye works for the Charlotte Observer, wrote
up a great, great piece on him a couple of
weeks back when we're playing the Panthers, and I managed
to tweet that out.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
You go back and find it. I'll try to dig
it back up. Great piece on Julil.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Yeah, and like you heard what Sean Payton says, He's
normally the first person in the building.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
And many times I'll leave my office and he's down
in the practice facility, running, stretching.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
We're all types of extra stuff. Nobody else is there. Yeah,
and Steve's the last one out. So I say, Steve's
like taking notes on who said.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
He's reporting back to the the Walt peedtigre of Actually
Sean Payne cut out early tonight out here in nine thirty.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
I don't get that kidding, I'm kidding, no, But that's
just that's impressive though, And that just goes to show
his work ethic.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
And when you watch him practice, you see but you
see it. He's running.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's a good dude, good story. The guy who knows
what it takes to succeed as willing to put the
extra work in. You always root for the extra effort guy. Absolutely,
that's a that's a big thing, Steve. We got the
bye week this week.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What is the most difficult thing about keeping guys focused
during the bye Uh?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Well, I think that, Uh one, you gotta make sure
you guys no party too hard. You want to have
some fun, but don't go overboard. Listen, Well, don't go overboard.
He got waved today, but otherwise we listen Josh Reynolds.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Uh he got waved. Yeah you didn't know. Yeah, we
wave Josh Reynel's today. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well, I mean back in the day, that would have
happened probably sooner than you know, she had.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
The I R and everything else to Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I hate to see that for him because I think
he's a player. I thought he was gonna contribute. He
was contributing Priyer's injury. Yeah, so uh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Want to keep kids that, you want to keep people
out of the club. You want to keep you knows
as a as a call. You mean you're just sitting
there a crossing your fingers. But it's a player, Like,
how do you keep yourself dial in?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, I mean you got to look at the example
right there. I mean they made an example out of
just Reynolds. I mean, if you don't take care of
your business, it's what you're not. You're not gonna be here.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
You know. You got to make sure that you're a
professional in every environment.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And I think that's more so I think the guys
are in shape.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Now, the guys, you know that they know the workout routines.
They I think they're pretty familiar with the with the
playbook and all that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So I don't think that's an issue.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
The issue is get into something that you're not supposed
to get into, right, So uh, I think it's.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Been a good break for them.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
It's perfect timing and the guy is gonna come back
ready to finish off strong.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Hopefully we needed Indianapolis currents. Hopefully. Man, it's happening.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Facts okay, all right, well the facts, not a facts
like Eli Stuberville that we don't guess, not an fax, okay,
just making sure we gotta.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Be we gotta we gotta hit a break here, Steve.
I appreciate you coming in here and
