Let's set out to the KWA commasper Health Hotline and
bring on Garrett Bowles on k Sports presented by Kodiak
Building Partners and the Kodiak Foundation, together creating meaningful change
with seventy two to charity. Garrett, My friends, good stuff
man the postgame locker room?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I'm doing good? How are you guys doing good?
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Good?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Every time you bring me on? Every week I hear
Dave Logan's voice and then Broncs our world champions. It's
the best.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You know what you guys are.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Hey, stranger things have happened, my friend, Stranger things have happened.
I might be able to utter that phrase again. Hey,
let me ask you, what is I mean? You've been
in this league by NFL standards a long time. You've
seen upstowns whatever. Now you you guys are nine to
two and you have a bye week, so real talk.
What is the left tackle? The starting left tackle the
(00:48):
Broncos do during a bye week? What's that looks like
for you in terms of schedule?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That's a good question. I relaxed some Monday. I relaxed
today I go to California. I just want to get
my mind off of football to be honest, for a
couple of days, you know, make sure I'm doing a
couple of workouts this week. I probably have one or
between one and three workouts this week when I go
to California and just get away and take my family
with me and to be around them, and you know,
(01:20):
just enjoy it. You know, I don't I don't really
want to watch too much football. I just want to
clear my brain and and you know, reflect on the
good games and the bad games, and the things that
I did good and the things that I need to
clean up, and and then you know, obviously, you know,
I have a chart of the things of each game
that I think I can do better and then just
put them all on sort of a chart and then
make those my priorities as I go down the stretch.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Has that typically been the way you've approached by weeks
in the past, or is it sort of varied based
on situation of the season and the coaching staff you have?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well in the past, maybe like my first couple of years,
I think I was depressed because Broncos Country didn't like
me too much, which you know, I'll be the first
one in the day. I didn't like myself either, so
I would go home square, I'd go home back to Utah,
and you know, follow you have to rake your lawns
so that the dead draft can get up, And so
I'd rake my parents lawn and take all my anger
out on the lawn and then clean up that and
(02:12):
get back. So I guess it's definitely has changed over
the years. You know, I think I'm just more matured
and and know like what I did good and what
I haven't done good and so but and then you know,
just let my teammates get the rest they need and
talk with a little bit of them, and then just
sort of focus on myself and my mentalness and my
(02:34):
clarity that I need just to get ready to rock
and roll this final stretch. But that's what I used
to do. So it definitely has changed and been a
sort of a revolving door over the years. But I
think now the last couple of years where I feel
like I'm settled and confident, it's been the same bye
week every year after that.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
You know, you look at you look at that last
game against the Chiefs, and.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I thought the first drive was sort of a tone setter.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I know, you guys had to settle for three.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
But you come out of the first play they run.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
I think it was a safety, like a safety fire
to the backside sack, second down and sixteen.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But you on that.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Drive, you convert a third and eight, and you also
convert a third down and eleven. The third and eight
was to have Brian third and eleven I think was
to court. I just thought it settled down an offense
that had had the previous game struggled to find some
traction your head three nothing?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Did you guys? Did it feel that way to you?
Or is it just how the game sort of played out?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
N The one thing that I think people got to
realize when when Bow doesn't have a good game, the
following games unbelievable. That's just who he is. He He's
a winner, he's call him and confident, and I think,
you know, the bigger the game, I think all of
us played better if I say that up front. I
think we just take pride in that. You know, that's
just you know, Coach Street teaches about you know the
(03:58):
moment of truth and you know that blocked. You know,
obviously we watched that film of the last play of
the game when it was Bengals versus Rams and Aaron
Donald gave up that sack and over that left guard,
and you know, he talked about, you know, that's what
he prizes us as you know, making sure in the
biggest games and the biggest moments, what are our what
are we thinking, what are we doing? What's our brain doing?
(04:20):
Like go back to the basicsness, And you know, I
think we pride our stuff like that up front, and
so you know, the bigger the moment is, I think
we're just more confident and ready to rock and roll
and make sure that we convert those downs and give
both the time that he needs. And you know that's
both feels comfortable and our receivers are making big time catches.
And I felt like, you know, I wish we would
(04:41):
have scored more points. Obviously, you know, we shut ourselves
in the foot a couple of times, but when we
needed to score, coming out of the second half and
going down there and you know, you're a little punching
that in into the end zone was a different game
changing to us. So picking up those third downs early,
I felt like it was a big momentum shit for us.
And I felt like we did a really good job
all day.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
On third down, Ka Bowles joining us here. Take me
into that last drive.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You guys get the ball with about three minutes remaining
in the game, and you've played against the Kansas City
Chiefs enough time, played against Patrick Mahomes on the opposite side,
and know that if you know the ball goes back
to him, bad things tend to happen to the opponents.
So understanding the moment there with three minutes left, knowing
you really wanted to work the clock, you guys had
to get into field goal range.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
What was the mindset for the team at that time?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well, I think we had what we had a one down,
gave the ball back, our defense stopped and got the
ball back, and that was the drive that we went
down and scored and kicked the game winning to go. So,
you know, I think I brought the old line together
and I said this is what this is what makes
this who we are. And I gave him all this
bump and I said, this is this is the drive,
this is who we are, this is you know, this
(05:49):
is where we become the best allowed on football. And
we all looked at each other and that's what we practice.
And we practiced what we preached and those are the
different situations that we put in and what coaches's people
just in different situations, and we pride ourselves off in
a two minute situation, I feel like we're the best
online unit out there making sure that we're blocking for
(06:09):
bow and getting the ball into our playmakers to win.
I mean, I feel like our two minute conversion rate,
you know, you did we kick a field goal? We
score this year has been on point, and we all
had faith. We all knew we were going to go
down there and neither score kick a game winning field goal.
We knew the situation and we executed it. And the
feeling couldn't be even more better than you know, kicking
(06:30):
that game winning field goal and knocking off a you know,
a big time divisional opponent that's dominated this this division
for so many years. And you know, if you've noticed
the last couple of years, I feel like we've been
in all those games. You know, they blocked the field
goal to win it, and then we smacked them a
good one when they said they're started weren't playing. And
then last year it was the same thing. In the
(06:52):
year before that was the same thing. So it was
just a moment of time until we got our mojo,
and I felt like our owners and our you know,
our manager and coaches built a great team to be
able to perform the way that we performed on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So we've been I think, as the fan base and
people covering the team as long as we have. We've
sort of talked about not trying to be hyperbolic, but saying,
this is one of the biggest games that the team
has had as far as the standings, as far as
the implications.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Uh, in quite some time.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You guys, you have not had the benefit so far
of playing a home playoff game. But I got to
imagine from everybody else that has been there, that has
just covered this team in the.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Playoffs, they said it felt close to that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What was the vibe, what was the energy like in
that building on the game, it was it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Was a rocket environment. And you know, I think our
fans just give us that juice to go down and
score and you know, either the bad call and the
whole stadium erupts and let's you know, let the reps know,
or you know, when we score touchdown and that whole
South end zone just lighted up like before the July
(08:00):
and it's just it's just a cool time to be
a Denver Bronco. Really is. I feel like, you know,
we are becoming who you know what I thought we
would always become the last you know, eight years, I
mean I knew, I felt it. It was just a
moment in time, you know where we were going to
click and we're going to start winning these close games.
(08:21):
And you know, any championship team or any team that's
won a championship, even you know, Super Bowl fifty team,
you know, there was a lot of games where you
know they they won by you know, one possession or
you know one you know, twelve points or you know,
a game winning field goal, and so like the good
teams just find a way. And then you know when
the Chiefs were on their role, you know the last
(08:43):
year where they won eleven straight one possession games, and
so that's that's just the thing is like when you
get that it's a winning and you get that confidence level,
when you have a locker room that just believes in
each other, those are the type of games that you win,
and those are the moments and situations that you want
to be in. And having our fan base believe in
(09:03):
us and love us and show up and having the
largest sellout crowd and all of sports is who we are.
And I know they've been so patient over the years
of us losing those type of close games and us
not finishing, and now they're getting the opportunity to watch
what we can really do is and it's a special
time for them. And I couldn't be more happy for
our fan base and happy for this organization too.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well, keep playing like you are, and you guys are
gonna get another chance to have that feeling in the
playoffs coming up here hosting a playoff game.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Garrett.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
We appreciate you. Enjoy the rest of your bye week,
my friend.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Hey, I gotta have Dave. Who are you playing this week?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
We play Fairview?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Okay? Yeah, and that'll be a good game.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I know you guys. You guys play Valor. That's another
good game. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely good game. It's this time
of the year.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
We lost another player to an incident, so are our
kicker and punter and corner god? Oh no, so we
got a quarterback back, so that would be good. It'll
be a good game. Yeah, hopefully we see you guys
in the semis. Would be fun.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Well, I don't know if if you's so much fun
for us. But you know what if we do? We
do you rest up?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
And what can we not talk a little smack to
each other?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
No, No, listen, you know.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
When I see you, because you're you're constantly chattering. You're
like a magpie, big white magpie, and I will I
will chatter back to you.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
You've heard, you've heard.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Hey, listen, you know you have to you have to
have a little swag there, Dave. You know what I mean.
You can't be coaching that long. You got you have
the player in you when you coach, which that's why
I love technicality.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I got in, bro, I got, I got. I'll see
you out there.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Living sounds good, but a good one.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Appreciate your bowles, enjoy the rest of your you know what.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
I know you're supposed to be objective and all that.
I just really like him. I think he is just
a good hearted dude.
