Speaker 1 (00:00):
Getting fired up for the Broncos and Steelers coming up
on Sunday, as well as a Rocky Mountain showdown tomorrow
night at Canvas Stadium up in Fort Collins. We've been
entering people for a chance to win Broncos Steelers tickets.
We've been playing the talkbacks throughout the course of the show.
Producer Coover says that we have until around five thirty,
so really, this is the last segment for you opportunity
(00:21):
to get in if you want to go to that game.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Here's another talkback for you.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hey, guys, this is my impersonation of rest bocking trash
after PS two interception.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Loving the poor down the peel that ball is Hey two,
hey too, you ain't so bad, you ain't so tough. Hey,
how many bathrooms you got? I bet you're living in
hacketts unfinished basement?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
All right, A little little shout out to Nathaniel Hacketts.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And unfinished basementing with us.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's right, talking a little trash, that would be That
would be a very Russell Wilson esque way to do it, Like, Hey,
how many bathrooms you got?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Huh right? Yeah, I got thirteen? How about you? Huh yeah?
Living in Nathaniel Hacks unfinished basement.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, that's a good all right, Well that's an early uh,
that's an early entry we might we might have found
on winter. But you guys got to keep sending those
in for the next twenty minutes or so. We'll be
giving that away. A couple of things that want to
get to you in this segment as we're continuing sort
of to break this thing down, we talked about kind
of the Steelers side of things for the Broncos right
coming up here. I'm I'm so fascinated to see because
(01:40):
a big storyline I guess for us in the off
season and training camp was about bo Nicks now making
the same mistake twice, right, and Joe Lobbardi was asked
about that very thing. So this is one thing that
I'm very very interested to see how much he was
able to clean up in one week course two passes.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So I guess he did make the same mistake twice.
But you know, obviously there's a figure of speech there.
You know, he'll obviously make some mistakes twice, but the
point is he learns from his mistakes, and so you know,
it's not like he'll never throw another interception again.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
He will.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
It's not like he'll never throw another errant pass again.
He will, all right, But he just gets better from
all the experience. And you know, I'm sure he was,
you know, really jazzed up on Sunday, and you know
he'll probably be a little bit more calm as every
game comes along, and he'll just keep getting better and better.
And that's I guess what I was encouraged with on
(02:33):
Monday is just how like quickly he figured out, you know, like, oh,
I need to do this next time. You know, he
was just you could just see the wheels turning and
the learning happening. So I think he'll just keep getting
better and better.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
How he thinks. Do you think he really can clean
up in one week?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I think he not throw too bad interceptions? Okay, that
that is you know those are who really really really
really really bad interceptions. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
JT. O.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Sullivan did a breakdown on bon Nicks and and he
talked about something on that second interception, the one where
he threw to triple coverage. He said, I think the
design of this, now this is again of his perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He doesn't know for sure what he's being kach.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Andiz, He's like, I think the design of this was
the rollout to the right and actually throw across to
the left. That's right, and there was a there was
gonna be a receiver coming open.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And uh no, the receiver was covered. It was covered.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But he was bending it out to the to he
was flattening out his route and there would have been
a space to throw.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The ball to and he was covered.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It wasn't like, no, he was not wide open, but
it was more open than Courtland Sutton on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean it was, yeah, I mean it was yeah. Man,
it was just a bad interception, dude. I mean you know,
it was a really really really really bad interception. Like
it's the interception that you know I wouldn't have thrown.
And I've never played a snap a quarterback at or
high school or pro level, Like, don't throw that one, like,
(04:04):
I mean, clearly you can see he's out the pocket
and just throw it away. It was a second down interception. Yeah,
it's a second down interception. You you got another play,
you know, those are the advanced thinking, Like somebody's got
to say, hey, second down, second down, second down.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, because the first was a third nine, right, I.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Mean third down and nine. But you were in scoring position,
you were in scoring range. You know what I'm saying, Like,
you don't have to force it there in a game
that was going to probably come down to one possession.
And you know what, you cannot throw the ball late
in this league.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, that's see. Okay, you're talking about things he can
clean up. That's a big one right there. You can't
throw late. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I mean you know his his clock was sped up.
His clock was sped up. So I don't believe it's
going to be sped up as much. Will it be
cloud in that it will be loud, stiller fans will
be there. It will be loud, So get used to it.
You know, like we we won't have a true road
I mean a true home game until the next game.
(05:04):
And who is that against.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The next game will be the Raiders. That'll be a
home game. That'll be a home game.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, this is almost like you're playing in a bowl game.
You know, you half the crowd to be yours, half
of be the Steelers. You're going to be at home
against the Raiders and then at home against the Chargers
back to back weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You gotta have those games, but you got to.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Have cooperation from the coaching staff as well, and they
got to do a better job of giving you a
better plan.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's a fascinating spot right here.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Right because the next two after this, not that we're
looking too far ahead, you got Tampa Bay on the roads,
you got the Jets on the road.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Those are two really good football teams, be really tough games.
You sort of feel like you need the momentum of
this one.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
We needed that game last week.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You needed that. But it's also the first week of a
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, I know. But that that I know, I know,
and I know what you're gonna say, Ryan, this is
the league. I get it. And that's why Sean Payton
was supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The X factor, right, He was supposed to be the
thing that steadies everything.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And the fact is he was out coached. The coach coached.
They were all coached. And so you know, and when
your defense does what they did, you know, like cause
because we we we we're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A game when a defense is gonna have a breakdown.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Okay, it's just it's just part of the we don't
have we don't have exceptional players at every level. We
just do not, you know, uh, like our linebacker crew,
like you know, listen, man, that's the matchup this week.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's gonna be. That is the matchup this week. That
is a fantastic point, you know, Like our linebacker and crew,
they have to play better and Arthur Smith's gonna target them.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I mean they will be Listen. No, when you
see teams throw swing passes and get seven and eight yards,
they're gonna throw them every week because you have to
make open field tackles for those, they're gonna scheme away
to get you in a situation where you have to
make an open field tackle. And running backs to getting
seven eight yards against us.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Can always be five yards downfield. Yet you know what
I'm saying, like a six is it a tackle? Yes?
Is it a game of six or seven?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It is. That's right.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So we're gonna we're gonna have to be better there.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
And I tell you what, time we open up the
stat sheet and we see bow Nicks as the leading rusher,
that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That that that's something we're gonna have to work on.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Would you would you but being that, would you open
things up to let him run the ball more in
this game.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
No, I would give the ball the Javonte Williams or
Jalil McLoughlin.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Make your mind up.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You know, between those two guys that were eighteen carries,
give give all, you know what, if you want to,
If you want to, if Estimate had two carries in
the game, if it told there were a total of
twenty rushes by the running backs. The way that I'd
like to see it is that the main running back,
I don't care which one you choose, gets fifteen or sixteen,
(07:54):
the other guy gets four. You know, it's hard to
get into a rhythm when you just get a carry
here or there. You know what I'm saying, Like, you gotta,
you gotta. But for some reason, man, this is what
we've been doing. We've been doing this now for two seasons.
Like this is not just happening this year. And the
philosophy I would imagine is that you attach players with packages.
(08:17):
But I'm telling you that every player that's in that
running back room knows their packages frontwards and backwards. So
let that guy stay in there and get a rhythm.
Not gonna happen, No, probably not. And that's the way
of doing things, and it's it doesn't it doesn't bode
well for you know, especially for Davante.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Why did it work so well for so long with
the Saints? Is that is that it? I mean because
and I guess that mark ingram you have Alvin, Yeah,
Drew Brees, that's it.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So so if at some point Vohnix becomes that guy,
maybe not even to that level, but just a guy
that threatens defenses at multiple levels, that's going to open
things up for the run game and.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The multiple levels mean in the passing game.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, because you got to know that he can push
the ball down the field. And he can, but I'm
just saying, like, you gotta know they're gonna gonna happen
down the field.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I was hoping and we get to that around November.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
That's that's that's what I was hoping.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
After watching this first game, I'm that's a hope. Now,
that's a hope.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You can expose them, you know, you kind of expose
them in game one. I think we're going to see
zone coverage the rest of the time. O Nicks is
playing here until he learns to get the ball out
quickly and just take a six yard game on first
down or on second down, you throw the ball.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Hey, it's okay to get a five yard game.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And you're a design you're the way you're describing this,
it feels like there's no there's no quick fix, there's
no answer.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's almost immediate. Everything is going to take.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
You to have cooperation from the guy that's calling them
play period, that's calling the play has to cooperate with
the defensive coordinator and the special teams coordinator so that
you don't have one minute and thirty second drives. You
can't do it. Your defense is gonna be out there
and expose more frequently. And you say, hey, but make
(10:16):
them go one thirty. Well, if we're in the league here,
you can't. You can't have seven three in outs Ryan,
like that is just that's ridiculous. And yeah, we got
a holding, we got outside, we got tackle, doesn't head,
doesn't break the.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Plane of the center, illegal formation, you go give what.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I don't know what the NFL was doing last weekend,
but I didn't like it. But there was some critical
moments in the game, but it worked for both teams
where both teams were penalized. But when you have seven
three in outs, man that is just a backbreaker.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's just not good for U. Yeah, they have they
have fifteen possessions in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah yeah, I mean if I told you had fifteen possessions.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I told you we're gonna lose.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Fifteen offensive possessions and you're, well, it told you because
that means that they had at least fourteen.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's true. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That means the other team had fourteen, right at least
and then that that's that's probably respect you.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It sounds possessions the Stellers and uh, you know't having
possessions of Steelers and the uh the Falcons had last week.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Was the seven race ten ten okay ten, Yeah, that
sounds about right now.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You look at that like I look see, I'm looking
at it strategically.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
The game was short. It was it was a short game.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, when you've had started talking about fifteen possessions, man,
that's a that's a you get to look at a
defense fifteen different times. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You see the time of possession disparity, by the way,
almost thirty six minutes for the Steelers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You know why, because the're running the ball sixty one
times for one thirty seven. I mean they also won
forty one times for one thirty seven, and they also
were plus three on the turnover metal. That's that's that's
what it feels not throw interceptions. Zero interceptions from Justin Fields,
two interceptions from us and one fumble and boy, that
fumble was two interceptions though, see.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What I'm saying. And then the one fumble is because.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The tight end was in motion. That I mean, you
work all off season and but.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They couldn't hit a count, right, They couldn't.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Count, that couldn't hit account. So I mean it was
all done inside. I don't know how many times they
worked that snap count in silent, but I'm just telling you, like,
when you really look at the game, the game plan
for the Falcons should have been B John Robinson run left,
B John Robinson run right, John Robinson run right. But you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Run left. You were just paying Kirk Cousins all this money,
you know what I mean, you know what?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And the crazy part of it is they were getting
like four and five yards of carry.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know you were right right now, average four and
a half for the game.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
The Stills average like three point one ended up with four.
But yeah, feels Rushes. That's right. But I'm telling you, man,
I'm telling you, if they would have just turned around
and handed the ball off the bej On Robinson and
say okay to today's your day, then they would have
won the game.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Were you surprised? How and again it was coming off
in Achilles? But how little mobility he had because they
had him in the pistol a lot in that game.
And usually Kirk Cousins the thing that sort of defines
him as a guy that can play under center and
run those those stretch plays and then run play action
off of it. They couldn't do any of that. And
(13:42):
by the way, Aaron Rodgers also looked a little slow.
Something to keep in mind here in a few weeks
when the Broncos play the Jets. But Kirk Cousins does not.
Whether he's one hundred percent or whatever, he just does
not look like that dude right now.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So they can't run that off. Oh they got so
much talent, man.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
They got Djon Robinson at running.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Back and Drake London is our first rounder receiver. List, man,
They all they had to do is turn around and
hand the ball off.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, they probably won the game even with the crowd,
and you know what people.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Were talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You know, there were only two three hundred yard passers
in Week one of the NFL. Usually you throw for
three hundred yards when you're losing, you know what I'm
saying now. One of those three hundred yard passers was
Matthew Stafford who lost.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He lost, That's right, okay, and one was they had
to come back? Yeah? Who was the other? But they won?
Was it Baker Mayfield?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
May have been Patrick Mahoons maybe, but I know the
other three hundred yard passer?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
One? See, I'm so actually yeah they won. Yeah, yeah,
they won.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Kapa Bay Buccaneers y'ah against the Jacksonville Jaguars against.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Jacksonville twenty to seventeen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So, I mean, it's just not it's I know that
people getting in love with throwing the football, but really, man,
the formula to win in the NFL is to get
a league, control the league, and play keep away.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's how you win in the league.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know if we have that coach man, I
don't know, yst Listen, I don't know either.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I'm just being as honest as I can. Like, the
writing was clear, it was it was just clear. It was, Hey,
you know, I'm looking at I'm looking at Geno Smith's
stat line from last weekend, and this is the stat
line I was hoping for for our very own bow Knicks.
Eighteen of twenty five one seventy one, one touchdown, one interception.
(15:40):
I could have been okay with that. Gave up two sacks.
I could have been okay with that. But when you
look at bow Knick's that line twenty six of forty
two for one thirty eight and two interceptions. Yea, the
forty two says that you're gonna get at least one
or two, and that that doesn't tell the whole story
because there were next rushes and none of them will
(16:02):
call five rushes five rushes, which means that those were
passes as well. That he turned into a positive game.
So that's forty seven times dropping back. You don't want
to open it up and let him run some more?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Huh? You can let him run.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You realize he was the fastest non wide receiver over
the week. He topped over twenty miles per hour on
that three.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I want to let him run. Let him run, but
cause some run plays for him, then get so designed
run place. I mean what what do we why? Why not?
I'm with you, man, I want to see it. Listen,
if they're.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Not going to win, right, anything to win, anything to win?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is the emotion. Like I've seen people.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Discussing this week whether they, hey, if the Broncos score
thirty five points and still lose the game, which, by
the way, there's no way the Steelers give up that
many points.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But the conversation has been what do you want to see?
What's more important for you to see?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Do you want to see the offense get back on
track but they lose, or would you rather see a
low scoring game but they win?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Just win? Just what are we doing? I mean, what
are we? What are we talking about? I mean, you
know what what?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Literally? What do we? What are we talking? What's the
purpose of it? Is it? Hello? We played to win
the game? I mean, who wakes up in the morning
and say, let's see if we can get three hundred
yards passing the day? Why?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You know exactly who wakes up in the morning and says,
let's see if we get three hundred yards passing today
on this vaunted Steelers defense.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
You know, I used to talk to Kobyak when he
was offensive coordinator here and I told him, I said hey,
and he changed it, but I said, hey, cool, every
time you lift your fingers, you're gonna throw the football.
When he was a play caller, like everybody has a tail, right,
and then you just say okay. See, I really believe
(17:56):
that with Sean Payton, his tail is is that my
passing offense beats your pass defense. And I think with
Kyle Shanahan, he says, because I run the football, well
I will beat you with my play action.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah. That's the difference.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That's the difference between you know, philosophies, you know, and
when you look at the ceilers and how they call offense,
they don't care, don't care, they don't care. They just
want to get a win, you know. So it may
be ugly, it may be ugly. If we jump out
on them by fourteen, we may be able to get
(18:39):
what we need. But to get out on them by fourteen,
we need a turnover from the defense like we got
last week.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
We got two safeties. I mean, come on, man, two
safeties in a game, and you lost two safeties in
the first half. In the first half, you could have
buried them. You had a four point leader. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You could have buried them and we had a four
point lead because as a kid made a great backshow
to throw to get us in field goal position.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
So it wasn't it just wasn't a great game plan.
They just they beat us. They you know, the coaching
staff over there in Seattle are high five in the day. Yeah,
all week long, all week long, sage. If this is
the NFL, Oh we got this.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is nothing. I told you.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
This is gonna be the battle of the college coaches
versus the NFL coaches.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One to oh college coaches.
Speaker 1 (19:29):

Speaker 5 (20:30):
This is Russell Wilson, and I just want to let
Broncos Country know they better watch out because I'm flying
in on Atwater Airlines and they guarantee to get you there,
not win or hell, but they'll get you there. And
when I get there, Bronco's Country, I'm gonna put up
seventy five points on y'all.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Let's ride. See. That's great. That is a listener that's
been with us for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Because those are orange blue seven sixty references with Steve
Attwaterwater Airlines.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did you ever hear.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Steve Atlaar talking about his airline company if he had one,
no man he was. He made this point about like, hey,
when you take off in an airplane, you don't always
get to your destination the way that you're supposed to
get to your destination.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I was like, no, that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
That's quite literally, like you flog a light a flight plan, Steve,
and you take off and you want to get there.
He's like, nah, but they don't go the same way
every time. I'm like, what do you mean, what do
you think they're flying?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Oh, different weather patterns caused them to move around a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Come on, what do you mean what is this kim trails?
He goes, they go to the plane.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I mean yes, if if there's like a storm, But
generally speaking, you have a flight plan and there's a
lot of planes in the air, you can't just I
don't know, we'll get to where we're gonna go whenever
we get there.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I used to make fun of all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And then of course you made a movie seventy five
was called Dead Tone, but it's originally called seventy five.
You know about Steve's movie. He was and so was
Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Dead tone. Is it still out there? Absolutely? Man, it's
is it a really good movie? No, it's a slasher film.
It's it's he slasher films, really dead tone. Yeah and seven. Yes,
horror movie. It's a horror movie. And it last hour
and so I may have to go and uhude, it
(22:22):
is it is so oh it's not good. I mean
it's it's really not good.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
This movie so much first time watching it. See you
can see families. There's only been three reviews.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
That's so good. I love movie.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Terrible actors and what's the well, here's the one.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Here's a tiebreaker.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
This movie up to the end is good, but the
end is very bad, badly ridden.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, Steve will maintain that he just donated money to
the cause he didn't know what he was getting into.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
This movie is a good movie. Okay, there's like six reviews. Okay,
six reviews. Wow, I can't believe six other people watched it.
Have you seen it? Of course they saw it? What
you think?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I mean, it's like some of my genre is so like,
I'm not a horror film dude. Yeah, to be redone.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You know, that's an interesting question. I have for years
trying to talk to Stevens doing a dead tone two
like doubling down on the dead tone.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
How much was the movie? Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I think he said he sunk twenty five thousand into it.
By the way, they misspelled Break Crockett's name on the
those credits. Yeah, the executive producer, because that's what you
get an executive producer title for putting money in and
they spelled it with one tea. So we used to
often to say he needed to spend more money on
the movie to get the extra tea.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh my goodness, Well, that's got.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
To be our winner because because the fact is, you
tied in so many references and you you got Russell
Wilson talking trash about Steve Boutwater. What do you think
you feel up pretty good about that one. Let's do
it all right.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Congratulations, you are our winner for the pair of tickets
to the Broncos and Steelers game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's that, Gabriel?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Congratulations Gabriel, You're a winner for the Broncos and Steelers
game two twenty five this Sunday in the powerfield of
Mile High Monday. Listen for your chance to win Broncos
Raiders tickets. Every hour between three and six.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Good stuff. I'm fired up for this weekend, man, I am.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm looking forward to that CUCSU game tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I am looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I know Coach Norvale and the CSU rams are sitting
there waiting, and you know what's crazy is that, uh
you know the game?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
What is like five thirty? Five thirty? Okay, so five
thirty game? Yep.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You know. I don't know how you treat this. What
do you mean, well, you're not flying there? Do you
get a hotel room in Fort Collins? Or do you
stay in your team hotel? And then I think that
they're probably gonna stay in their team hotel, like tonight you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Mean yeah, and bust down? So do you go up
there tonight if you're see you not driving?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
No, I'm just saying I think they probably will stay
in their normal team hotel, okay, without having to tell
you what one it is, but stay in a team
hotel and then get up in the morning and get
a police escort down now for like an hour and
an hour and twenty minutes hour thirty minutes. I'm like,
how are you feeling? How you how are you proud?
(25:34):
Colorad of Buffalo feeling. I feel like it's gonna be
a dog fight. Yeah, but I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah. No, I feel like here for it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I feel like both teams see you historically, right, I mean,
obviously he's dominated this matchup, and see, you should be
the more talented team. You got two, maybe even three
first round picks that are going to be on the field, right,
CSU doesn't have any. I mean maybe Tory Horton, he's
gonna get drafted, but he is not going to be
a first rounder. Right, So you got three, two to
(26:03):
three bona fide first round picks, maybe even two top
ten picks. You should you should be handing CSU their lunch.
You should absolutely dominate this game. But yet for some reason, Man, you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Ever heard Nick Saban talk about losing to uh uh
subf not was it FCS or FCS, because there Yeah,
fb FCS's Division two.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, they lost to an FCS team.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
They had five first rounders on the field, and he said,
on that team it was like thirteen or fourteen guys
that ended up playing in the NFL and they lost.
You saw Notre Dame versus Northern Illinois. Oh, I saw
how they tried to cheat them too. At the end
of the game with the the the mark from the yes,
(26:49):
tried to try to make it even tougher for them
to get to win. So I'm just hey, listen, and
this is why I love football, right, this is why
I do love football. They're in the in there is
a chess match. It is about do you have the biggest, fastest,
strongest players like that.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That is a big part of it.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
But there's also a side of it that says that
there is a cerebral game that's being played that makes
everybody wonder, how in the world could that happen? Like,
you know, how could Notre Dame who goes in and
smashes A and M.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Right, yes, I mean smashes A and M. Yep.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
They're playing at home, playing at home, hosting Northern Illinois.
And guess what. Northern Illinois is a top twenty five
team this week?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Are they really?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yes, sir, No way, they are a top twenty five.
I think they're number twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wow, good for them.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Yeah, man, I mean when you go and beat the
team that's ranked number five, you gotta beat you gotta
get some love.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Right, No, you're right, You're right, I mean cool, I
didn't see that. Yeah, man, so I'm I'm looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, you're right, from like a tactician standpoint. Man, does
that Does that make you a little bit nervous because
coach Prime has not been the best tech so far.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That's what makes me nervous, I would imagine. So that's
what makes me nervous.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Like really, I mean on third down and one and
fourth down and one, Pat Truman, these are the two
best runs that you can think of to try to
get first downs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Like the we we have to have more, we have
to have more.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Creativity, Like you can't ask your team to overpower the
other teamgun. That could be okay at times too, But
I'm just saying, like, in a critical moment, your running
back is sitting outside. You know, he's he's he's he's
not a.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He's not a deep back. He's a he's a sideback.
A deep back is the guy.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
That's behind the running back and he gets a running start, right,
you know when when you're a half back or should
we call it, like a side back is a guy
who's standing to the side of the.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Running of the quarterback. Yeah, man, Like I mean, you
can do more.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
If the quarterback is under the center and you can
and you can go left or you can go right.
When well, when you're on the when you're on the
side of the quarterback, there's only so many things that
you can do to really affect the game. When it's
a third down and one or fourth down and one
situation got to be under center, and you know what,
the quarterback has to pull the ball and run sometime
as well. I mean, you put it out there and
(29:19):
show everybody that you could take it, but you haven't
taken it yet. So are we going to see that?
Are we going to see that some RPOs, some option?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, it'd be good. It's gonna be lit though.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'll tell you what man, Hey, look man, I'm we
can talk about all the tactical things that we want
to talk about, but I'm telling you emotionally, SeeU is
going to see one of the most hype teams that
they'll ever see in their life. I'm not telling you
the talent is going to be the same and Nebraska.
We won't see the same talent level as Nebraska, but
(29:55):
we'll see the exact same energy. And I do believe
that the good people are for coll will come out
and support CSU for this matchup.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It's going to be a blast.
Getting fired up for the Broncos and Steelers coming up
on Sunday, as well as a Rocky Mountain showdown tomorrow
night at Canvas Stadium up in Fort Collins. We've been
entering people for a chance to win Broncos Steelers tickets.
We've been playing the talkbacks throughout the course of the show.
Producer Coover says that we have until around five thirty,
so really, this is the last segment for you opportunity
(00:21):
to get in if you want to go to that game.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Here's another talkback for you.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hey, guys, this is my impersonation of rest bocking trash
after PS two interception.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Loving the poor down the peel that ball is Hey two,
hey too, you ain't so bad, you ain't so tough. Hey,
how many bathrooms you got? I bet you're living in
hacketts unfinished basement?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
All right, A little little shout out to Nathaniel Hacketts.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And unfinished basementing with us.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
That's right, talking a little trash, that would be That
would be a very Russell Wilson esque way to do it, Like, Hey,
how many bathrooms you got?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Huh right? Yeah, I got thirteen? How about you? Huh yeah?
Living in Nathaniel Hacks unfinished basement.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, that's a good all right, Well that's an early uh,
that's an early entry we might we might have found
on winter. But you guys got to keep sending those
in for the next twenty minutes or so. We'll be
giving that away. A couple of things that want to
get to you in this segment as we're continuing sort
of to break this thing down, we talked about kind
of the Steelers side of things for the Broncos right
coming up here. I'm I'm so fascinated to see because
(01:40):
a big storyline I guess for us in the off
season and training camp was about bo Nicks now making
the same mistake twice, right, and Joe Lobbardi was asked
about that very thing. So this is one thing that
I'm very very interested to see how much he was
able to clean up in one week course two passes.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
So I guess he did make the same mistake twice.
But you know, obviously there's a figure of speech there.
You know, he'll obviously make some mistakes twice, but the
point is he learns from his mistakes, and so you know,
it's not like he'll never throw another interception again.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
He will.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
It's not like he'll never throw another errant pass again.
He will, all right, But he just gets better from
all the experience. And you know, I'm sure he was,
you know, really jazzed up on Sunday, and you know
he'll probably be a little bit more calm as every
game comes along, and he'll just keep getting better and better.
And that's I guess what I was encouraged with on
(02:33):
Monday is just how like quickly he figured out, you know, like, oh,
I need to do this next time. You know, he
was just you could just see the wheels turning and
the learning happening. So I think he'll just keep getting
better and better.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
How he thinks. Do you think he really can clean
up in one week?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I think he not throw too bad interceptions? Okay, that
that is you know those are who really really really
really really bad interceptions. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It's interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
JT. O.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Sullivan did a breakdown on bon Nicks and and he
talked about something on that second interception, the one where
he threw to triple coverage. He said, I think the
design of this, now this is again of his perspective.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
He doesn't know for sure what he's being kach.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Andiz, He's like, I think the design of this was
the rollout to the right and actually throw across to
the left. That's right, and there was a there was
gonna be a receiver coming open.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And uh no, the receiver was covered. It was covered.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But he was bending it out to the to he
was flattening out his route and there would have been
a space to throw.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The ball to and he was covered.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
It wasn't like, no, he was not wide open, but
it was more open than Courtland Sutton on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean it was, yeah, I mean it was yeah. Man,
it was just a bad interception, dude. I mean you know,
it was a really really really really bad interception. Like
it's the interception that you know I wouldn't have thrown.
And I've never played a snap a quarterback at or
high school or pro level, Like, don't throw that one, like,
(04:04):
I mean, clearly you can see he's out the pocket
and just throw it away. It was a second down interception. Yeah,
it's a second down interception. You you got another play,
you know, those are the advanced thinking, Like somebody's got
to say, hey, second down, second down, second down.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, because the first was a third nine, right, I.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Mean third down and nine. But you were in scoring position,
you were in scoring range. You know what I'm saying, Like,
you don't have to force it there in a game
that was going to probably come down to one possession.
And you know what, you cannot throw the ball late
in this league.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, that's see. Okay, you're talking about things he can
clean up. That's a big one right there. You can't
throw late. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I mean you know his his clock was sped up.
His clock was sped up. So I don't believe it's
going to be sped up as much. Will it be
cloud in that it will be loud, stiller fans will
be there. It will be loud, So get used to it.
You know, like we we won't have a true road
I mean a true home game until the next game.
(05:04):
And who is that against.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The next game will be the Raiders. That'll be a
home game. That'll be a home game.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, this is almost like you're playing in a bowl game.
You know, you half the crowd to be yours, half
of be the Steelers. You're going to be at home
against the Raiders and then at home against the Chargers
back to back weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You gotta have those games, but you got to.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Have cooperation from the coaching staff as well, and they
got to do a better job of giving you a
better plan.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's a fascinating spot right here.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Right because the next two after this, not that we're
looking too far ahead, you got Tampa Bay on the roads,
you got the Jets on the road.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Those are two really good football teams, be really tough games.
You sort of feel like you need the momentum of
this one.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
We needed that game last week.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You needed that. But it's also the first week of a
rookie quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, I know. But that that I know, I know,
and I know what you're gonna say, Ryan, this is
the league. I get it. And that's why Sean Payton
was supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The X factor, right, He was supposed to be the
thing that steadies everything.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And the fact is he was out coached. The coach coached.
They were all coached. And so you know, and when
your defense does what they did, you know, like cause
because we we we we're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A game when a defense is gonna have a breakdown.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Okay, it's just it's just part of the we don't
have we don't have exceptional players at every level. We
just do not, you know, uh, like our linebacker crew,
like you know, listen, man, that's the matchup this week.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's gonna be. That is the matchup this week. That
is a fantastic point, you know, Like our linebacker and crew,
they have to play better and Arthur Smith's gonna target them.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, I mean they will be Listen. No, when you
see teams throw swing passes and get seven and eight yards,
they're gonna throw them every week because you have to
make open field tackles for those, they're gonna scheme away
to get you in a situation where you have to
make an open field tackle. And running backs to getting
seven eight yards against us.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Can always be five yards downfield. Yet you know what
I'm saying, like a six is it a tackle? Yes?
Is it a game of six or seven?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It is. That's right.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
You know.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So we're gonna we're gonna have to be better there.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
And I tell you what, time we open up the
stat sheet and we see bow Nicks as the leading rusher,
that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
That that that's something we're gonna have to work on.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Would you would you but being that, would you open
things up to let him run the ball more in
this game.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
No, I would give the ball the Javonte Williams or
Jalil McLoughlin.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Make your mind up.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
You know, between those two guys that were eighteen carries,
give give all, you know what, if you want to,
If you want to, if Estimate had two carries in
the game, if it told there were a total of
twenty rushes by the running backs. The way that I'd
like to see it is that the main running back,
I don't care which one you choose, gets fifteen or sixteen,
(07:54):
the other guy gets four. You know, it's hard to
get into a rhythm when you just get a carry
here or there. You know what I'm saying, Like, you gotta,
you gotta. But for some reason, man, this is what
we've been doing. We've been doing this now for two seasons.
Like this is not just happening this year. And the
philosophy I would imagine is that you attach players with packages.
(08:17):
But I'm telling you that every player that's in that
running back room knows their packages frontwards and backwards. So
let that guy stay in there and get a rhythm.
Not gonna happen, No, probably not. And that's the way
of doing things, and it's it doesn't it doesn't bode
well for you know, especially for Davante.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Why did it work so well for so long with
the Saints? Is that is that it? I mean because
and I guess that mark ingram you have Alvin, Yeah,
Drew Brees, that's it.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So so if at some point Vohnix becomes that guy,
maybe not even to that level, but just a guy
that threatens defenses at multiple levels, that's going to open
things up for the run game and.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The multiple levels mean in the passing game.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, because you got to know that he can push
the ball down the field. And he can, but I'm
just saying, like, you gotta know they're gonna gonna happen
down the field.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I was hoping and we get to that around November.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
That's that's that's what I was hoping.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
After watching this first game, I'm that's a hope. Now,
that's a hope.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
You can expose them, you know, you kind of expose
them in game one. I think we're going to see
zone coverage the rest of the time. O Nicks is
playing here until he learns to get the ball out
quickly and just take a six yard game on first
down or on second down, you throw the ball.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Hey, it's okay to get a five yard game.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And you're a design you're the way you're describing this,
it feels like there's no there's no quick fix, there's
no answer.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's almost immediate. Everything is going to take.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
You to have cooperation from the guy that's calling them
play period, that's calling the play has to cooperate with
the defensive coordinator and the special teams coordinator so that
you don't have one minute and thirty second drives. You
can't do it. Your defense is gonna be out there
and expose more frequently. And you say, hey, but make
(10:16):
them go one thirty. Well, if we're in the league here,
you can't. You can't have seven three in outs Ryan,
like that is just that's ridiculous. And yeah, we got
a holding, we got outside, we got tackle, doesn't head,
doesn't break the.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Plane of the center, illegal formation, you go give what.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I don't know what the NFL was doing last weekend,
but I didn't like it. But there was some critical
moments in the game, but it worked for both teams
where both teams were penalized. But when you have seven
three in outs, man that is just a backbreaker.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's just not good for U. Yeah, they have they
have fifteen possessions in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah yeah, I mean if I told you had fifteen possessions.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I told you we're gonna lose.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Fifteen offensive possessions and you're, well, it told you because
that means that they had at least fourteen.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's true. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That means the other team had fourteen, right at least
and then that that's that's probably respect you.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It sounds possessions the Stellers and uh, you know't having
possessions of Steelers and the uh the Falcons had last week.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Was the seven race ten ten okay ten, Yeah, that
sounds about right now.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You look at that like I look see, I'm looking
at it strategically.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
The game was short. It was it was a short game.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, when you've had started talking about fifteen possessions, man,
that's a that's a you get to look at a
defense fifteen different times. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
You see the time of possession disparity, by the way,
almost thirty six minutes for the Steelers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
You know why, because the're running the ball sixty one
times for one thirty seven. I mean they also won
forty one times for one thirty seven, and they also
were plus three on the turnover metal. That's that's that's
what it feels not throw interceptions. Zero interceptions from Justin Fields,
two interceptions from us and one fumble and boy, that
fumble was two interceptions though, see.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
What I'm saying. And then the one fumble is because.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The tight end was in motion. That I mean, you
work all off season and but.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
They couldn't hit a count, right, They couldn't.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Count, that couldn't hit account. So I mean it was
all done inside. I don't know how many times they
worked that snap count in silent, but I'm just telling you, like,
when you really look at the game, the game plan
for the Falcons should have been B John Robinson run left,
B John Robinson run right, John Robinson run right. But you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Run left. You were just paying Kirk Cousins all this money,
you know what I mean, you know what?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And the crazy part of it is they were getting
like four and five yards of carry.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know you were right right now, average four and
a half for the game.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
The Stills average like three point one ended up with four.
But yeah, feels Rushes. That's right. But I'm telling you, man,
I'm telling you, if they would have just turned around
and handed the ball off the bej On Robinson and
say okay to today's your day, then they would have
won the game.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Were you surprised? How and again it was coming off
in Achilles? But how little mobility he had because they
had him in the pistol a lot in that game.
And usually Kirk Cousins the thing that sort of defines
him as a guy that can play under center and
run those those stretch plays and then run play action
off of it. They couldn't do any of that. And
(13:42):
by the way, Aaron Rodgers also looked a little slow.
Something to keep in mind here in a few weeks
when the Broncos play the Jets. But Kirk Cousins does not.
Whether he's one hundred percent or whatever, he just does
not look like that dude right now.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
So they can't run that off. Oh they got so
much talent, man.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
They got Djon Robinson at running.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Back and Drake London is our first rounder receiver. List, man,
They all they had to do is turn around and
hand the ball off.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, they probably won the game even with the crowd,
and you know what people.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Were talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
You know, there were only two three hundred yard passers
in Week one of the NFL. Usually you throw for
three hundred yards when you're losing, you know what I'm
saying now. One of those three hundred yard passers was
Matthew Stafford who lost.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He lost, That's right, okay, and one was they had
to come back? Yeah? Who was the other? But they won?
Was it Baker Mayfield?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
May have been Patrick Mahoons maybe, but I know the
other three hundred yard passer?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
One? See, I'm so actually yeah they won. Yeah, yeah,
they won.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Kapa Bay Buccaneers y'ah against the Jacksonville Jaguars against.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Jacksonville twenty to seventeen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So, I mean, it's just not it's I know that
people getting in love with throwing the football, but really, man,
the formula to win in the NFL is to get
a league, control the league, and play keep away.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's how you win in the league.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't know if we have that coach man, I
don't know, yst Listen, I don't know either.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
I'm just being as honest as I can. Like, the
writing was clear, it was it was just clear. It was, Hey,
you know, I'm looking at I'm looking at Geno Smith's
stat line from last weekend, and this is the stat
line I was hoping for for our very own bow Knicks.
Eighteen of twenty five one seventy one, one touchdown, one interception.
(15:40):
I could have been okay with that. Gave up two sacks.
I could have been okay with that. But when you
look at bow Knick's that line twenty six of forty
two for one thirty eight and two interceptions. Yea, the
forty two says that you're gonna get at least one
or two, and that that doesn't tell the whole story
because there were next rushes and none of them will
(16:02):
call five rushes five rushes, which means that those were
passes as well. That he turned into a positive game.
So that's forty seven times dropping back. You don't want
to open it up and let him run some more?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Huh? You can let him run.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
You realize he was the fastest non wide receiver over
the week. He topped over twenty miles per hour on
that three.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I want to let him run. Let him run, but
cause some run plays for him, then get so designed
run place. I mean what what do we why? Why not?
I'm with you, man, I want to see it. Listen,
if they're.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Not going to win, right, anything to win, anything to win?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is the emotion. Like I've seen people.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Discussing this week whether they, hey, if the Broncos score
thirty five points and still lose the game, which, by
the way, there's no way the Steelers give up that
many points.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But the conversation has been what do you want to see?
What's more important for you to see?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Do you want to see the offense get back on
track but they lose, or would you rather see a
low scoring game but they win?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Just win? Just what are we doing? I mean, what
are we? What are we talking about? I mean, you
know what what?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Literally? What do we? What are we talking? What's the
purpose of it? Is it? Hello? We played to win
the game? I mean, who wakes up in the morning
and say, let's see if we can get three hundred
yards passing the day? Why?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You know exactly who wakes up in the morning and says,
let's see if we get three hundred yards passing today
on this vaunted Steelers defense.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
You know, I used to talk to Kobyak when he
was offensive coordinator here and I told him, I said hey,
and he changed it, but I said, hey, cool, every
time you lift your fingers, you're gonna throw the football.
When he was a play caller, like everybody has a tail, right,
and then you just say okay. See, I really believe
(17:56):
that with Sean Payton, his tail is is that my
passing offense beats your pass defense. And I think with
Kyle Shanahan, he says, because I run the football, well
I will beat you with my play action.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah. That's the difference.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That's the difference between you know, philosophies, you know, and
when you look at the ceilers and how they call offense,
they don't care, don't care, they don't care. They just
want to get a win, you know. So it may
be ugly, it may be ugly. If we jump out
on them by fourteen, we may be able to get
(18:39):
what we need. But to get out on them by fourteen,
we need a turnover from the defense like we got
last week.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
We got two safeties. I mean, come on, man, two
safeties in a game, and you lost two safeties in
the first half. In the first half, you could have
buried them. You had a four point leader. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
You could have buried them and we had a four
point lead because as a kid made a great backshow
to throw to get us in field goal position.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
So it wasn't it just wasn't a great game plan.
They just they beat us. They you know, the coaching
staff over there in Seattle are high five in the day. Yeah,
all week long, all week long, sage. If this is
the NFL, Oh we got this.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is nothing. I told you.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
This is gonna be the battle of the college coaches
versus the NFL coaches.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One to oh college coaches.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, last call send, We'll play whatever's left when
we come back. Send us a talk back on the
iHeartRadio app entertain us.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
We want to be entertained.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
There's a couple of good entries Broncos Steelers tickets on
the line. Will give those away coming up next. Also again,
remember listen on Monday for your chance to win Broncos
Raiders tickets every hour between three and six. We'll come

We'll get you ready for the weekend. We got Rockies

(19:59):
off to the rock He's at the top of the hour.
Speaker 2 (20:01):

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Should be a good game, good beautiful Friday night here
in the Mile High City again. We got the CSUCU
games of our Rocky Mountain Showdown.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
And of course our coverage starts.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
At eight am on Sunday for Broncos and Steelers.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Been doing this all afternoon.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So coover, you said, you've got another talkback for us.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It's a final entrees here.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We're gonna be giving away our winner in a matter
of moments. But here's one more talkback that you can
send in on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
This is Russell Wilson, and I just want to let
Broncos Country know they better watch out because I'm flying
in on Atwater Airlines and they guarantee to get you there,
not win or hell, but they'll get you there. And
when I get there, Bronco's Country, I'm gonna put up
seventy five points on y'all.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Let's ride. See. That's great. That is a listener that's
been with us for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Because those are orange blue seven sixty references with Steve
Attwaterwater Airlines.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Did you ever hear.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Steve Atlaar talking about his airline company if he had one,
no man he was. He made this point about like, hey,
when you take off in an airplane, you don't always
get to your destination the way that you're supposed to
get to your destination.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I was like, no, that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
That's quite literally, like you flog a light a flight plan, Steve,
and you take off and you want to get there.
He's like, nah, but they don't go the same way
every time. I'm like, what do you mean, what do
you think they're flying?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Oh, different weather patterns caused them to move around a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Come on, what do you mean what is this kim trails?
He goes, they go to the plane.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I mean yes, if if there's like a storm, But
generally speaking, you have a flight plan and there's a
lot of planes in the air, you can't just I
don't know, we'll get to where we're gonna go whenever
we get there.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I used to make fun of all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And then of course you made a movie seventy five
was called Dead Tone, but it's originally called seventy five.
You know about Steve's movie. He was and so was
Magic Johnson.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Dead tone. Is it still out there? Absolutely? Man, it's
is it a really good movie? No, it's a slasher film.
It's it's he slasher films, really dead tone. Yeah and seven. Yes,
horror movie. It's a horror movie. And it last hour
and so I may have to go and uhude, it
(22:22):
is it is so oh it's not good. I mean
it's it's really not good.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
This movie so much first time watching it. See you
can see families. There's only been three reviews.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
That's so good. I love movie.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Terrible actors and what's the well, here's the one.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Here's a tiebreaker.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
This movie up to the end is good, but the
end is very bad, badly ridden.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, Steve will maintain that he just donated money to
the cause he didn't know what he was getting into.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
This movie is a good movie. Okay, there's like six reviews. Okay,
six reviews. Wow, I can't believe six other people watched it.
Have you seen it? Of course they saw it? What
you think?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I mean, it's like some of my genre is so like,
I'm not a horror film dude. Yeah, to be redone.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
You know, that's an interesting question. I have for years
trying to talk to Stevens doing a dead tone two
like doubling down on the dead tone.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
How much was the movie? Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I think he said he sunk twenty five thousand into it.
By the way, they misspelled Break Crockett's name on the
those credits. Yeah, the executive producer, because that's what you
get an executive producer title for putting money in and
they spelled it with one tea. So we used to
often to say he needed to spend more money on
the movie to get the extra tea.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh my goodness, Well, that's got.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
To be our winner because because the fact is, you
tied in so many references and you you got Russell
Wilson talking trash about Steve Boutwater. What do you think
you feel up pretty good about that one. Let's do
it all right.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Congratulations, you are our winner for the pair of tickets
to the Broncos and Steelers game.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's that, Gabriel?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Congratulations Gabriel, You're a winner for the Broncos and Steelers
game two twenty five this Sunday in the powerfield of
Mile High Monday. Listen for your chance to win Broncos
Raiders tickets. Every hour between three and six.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Good stuff. I'm fired up for this weekend, man, I am.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I'm looking forward to that CUCSU game tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I am looking forward to it.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
I know Coach Norvale and the CSU rams are sitting
there waiting, and you know what's crazy is that, uh
you know the game?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
What is like five thirty? Five thirty? Okay, so five
thirty game? Yep.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
You know. I don't know how you treat this. What
do you mean, well, you're not flying there? Do you
get a hotel room in Fort Collins? Or do you
stay in your team hotel? And then I think that
they're probably gonna stay in their team hotel, like tonight you.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Mean yeah, and bust down? So do you go up
there tonight if you're see you not driving?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
No, I'm just saying I think they probably will stay
in their normal team hotel, okay, without having to tell
you what one it is, but stay in a team
hotel and then get up in the morning and get
a police escort down now for like an hour and
an hour and twenty minutes hour thirty minutes. I'm like,
how are you feeling? How you how are you proud?
(25:34):
Colorad of Buffalo feeling. I feel like it's gonna be
a dog fight. Yeah, but I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah. No, I feel like here for it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I feel like both teams see you historically, right, I mean,
obviously he's dominated this matchup, and see, you should be
the more talented team. You got two, maybe even three
first round picks that are going to be on the field, right,
CSU doesn't have any. I mean maybe Tory Horton, he's
gonna get drafted, but he is not going to be
a first rounder. Right, So you got three, two to
(26:03):
three bona fide first round picks, maybe even two top
ten picks. You should you should be handing CSU their lunch.
You should absolutely dominate this game. But yet for some reason, Man, you.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Ever heard Nick Saban talk about losing to uh uh
subf not was it FCS or FCS, because there Yeah,
fb FCS's Division two.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Okay, they lost to an FCS team.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
They had five first rounders on the field, and he said,
on that team it was like thirteen or fourteen guys
that ended up playing in the NFL and they lost.
You saw Notre Dame versus Northern Illinois. Oh, I saw
how they tried to cheat them too. At the end
of the game with the the the mark from the yes,
(26:49):
tried to try to make it even tougher for them
to get to win. So I'm just hey, listen, and
this is why I love football, right, this is why
I do love football. They're in the in there is
a chess match. It is about do you have the biggest, fastest,
strongest players like that.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That is a big part of it.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
But there's also a side of it that says that
there is a cerebral game that's being played that makes
everybody wonder, how in the world could that happen? Like,
you know, how could Notre Dame who goes in and
smashes A and M.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Right, yes, I mean smashes A and M. Yep.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
They're playing at home, playing at home, hosting Northern Illinois.
And guess what. Northern Illinois is a top twenty five
team this week?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Are they really?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yes, sir, No way, they are a top twenty five.
I think they're number twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wow, good for them.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Yeah, man, I mean when you go and beat the
team that's ranked number five, you gotta beat you gotta
get some love.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Right, No, you're right, You're right, I mean cool, I
didn't see that. Yeah, man, so I'm I'm looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, you're right, from like a tactician standpoint. Man, does
that Does that make you a little bit nervous because
coach Prime has not been the best tech so far.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That's what makes me nervous, I would imagine. So that's
what makes me nervous.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Like really, I mean on third down and one and
fourth down and one, Pat Truman, these are the two
best runs that you can think of to try to
get first downs.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Like the we we have to have more, we have
to have more.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Creativity, Like you can't ask your team to overpower the
other teamgun. That could be okay at times too, But
I'm just saying, like, in a critical moment, your running
back is sitting outside. You know, he's he's he's he's
not a.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
He's not a deep back. He's a he's a sideback.
A deep back is the guy.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
That's behind the running back and he gets a running start, right,
you know when when you're a half back or should
we call it, like a side back is a guy
who's standing to the side of the.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Running of the quarterback. Yeah, man, Like I mean, you
can do more.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
If the quarterback is under the center and you can
and you can go left or you can go right.
When well, when you're on the when you're on the
side of the quarterback, there's only so many things that
you can do to really affect the game. When it's
a third down and one or fourth down and one
situation got to be under center, and you know what,
the quarterback has to pull the ball and run sometime
as well. I mean, you put it out there and
(29:19):
show everybody that you could take it, but you haven't
taken it yet. So are we going to see that?
Are we going to see that some RPOs, some option?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, it'd be good. It's gonna be lit though.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'll tell you what man, Hey, look man, I'm we
can talk about all the tactical things that we want
to talk about, but I'm telling you emotionally, SeeU is
going to see one of the most hype teams that
they'll ever see in their life. I'm not telling you
the talent is going to be the same and Nebraska.
We won't see the same talent level as Nebraska, but
(29:55):
we'll see the exact same energy. And I do believe
that the good people are for coll will come out
and support CSU for this matchup.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It's going to be a blast.
