Speaker 4 (01:23):
And again, want to thank our fantastic staff.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Out here Promotions, Anthony Rodd earlier, Shan Scott hanging out
with us tonight this afternoon enjoying.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Was that some mac and cheese I saw there earlier?
It looked pretty good. Oh mashpas a gravy. Oh boy,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
That's a good time right there, No doubt about that anyways.
All right, so come down and say hi to us.
Get Colorado and Yale here, King Soopers were here until
nine o'clock five six, six nine zers are kawe commas
per health text line before we get Because somebody's asked
about Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I do want to talk about that a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
We did to have that conversation earlier, and you could
find some of it right now or in a little
while on demand. KWA Colorado dot com or on the
iHeartRadio app. So the AFC for a moment here, and
I want to ask you first, why do you think
as we were talking about a moment ago about the Broncos, Colts, Patriots,
(02:16):
for example, sort of the changing of the guard, why.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Do you think that's happening. Is this a one off?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
This is just what the NFL is every so often,
teams are gonna come out of some somewhat of obscurity,
because both the Patriots and the Colts, of course, were
bad teams.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Last year.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
The Broncos made the playoffs, but I don't think a
lot of people expected them in Week twelve to be
leading the AFC.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So is this a one off?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Or is this a sign of the times and maybe
some teams are finally catching up to these elites.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It's a sounding time and teams are definitely catching up.
That's why every year there's a draft and this free
agency and as can you get the right players that
fit your scheme and then put them in position to
do well. Because let's think about what what it is
that we're talking about. Let's go with the Colts. First,
we knew that the Coats had one hell of a
(03:02):
running game, with John the Cooper. We saw it last year,
I mean Jonathan Taylor last year here against Brongos, and
if he doesn't drop the ball going into the end zone,
that's a different game.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
And that's when Anthony richardson.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
So they go out and they get a guy who
said who was a cast off who spent time in Minnesota,
and he sat back and.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
He watched and Daniel Jones.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Came back like like like revenge like it was like
diarrhea type of revenge right where where he was going
to make every point of that said, everything hold on,
just sad were reporting for a second?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Hear and now I'm gonna get to it. But making everyone.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Wait for that? Why why did it happen? You could
have gone like John Wick or something other. There's a
lot of revenge narratives.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Out there, but you know, but when diar reel, when
you get diaryea, that that that's montsouris okay, I'm.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Well yeah, because that.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
That's the the revenge of all revenge, right, yes it is,
trust me if you've ever been there.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
But the idea is.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Daniel Jones came back like like like return of the Jedi.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
If he was that's a better reference for you.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
I H.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
So that's what he was able to do as a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
And what we're seeing that took place or is taking place,
and uh in it New England is that you bring
in Mike Rabel, they bring back Josh mcdame's now you
have a coach who's not a great head coach, but
a great coordinator. And we're seeing the maturation process with
Drake may Now he's looking like now with the Patriots
what he looked like when he was at North Carolina,
(04:36):
right to validate his draft position.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
And then you look at the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
The defense has always been intact and you think about
bow Nicks was like, well, bow Nick showed a lot
of things in his first year, and it was like, well,
where can he get to in his second year?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Can he take it to another level? Now? Has the
offense gotten to that point? No? Have they shown signs
that they're capable of doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Absolutely, And that's the that makes them so dangerous because
they haven't really put four quarters a good football together
and they're still nine and two.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
That's the craziest part and that's what this is.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
The Broncos team is the most dangerous team in the NFL,
because it's a what if, it's a question mark, right,
you know what the defense is. You don't know what
the office is gonna give you. But if the office
starts to catch up, man, we about to catch fire.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
While I'm with you, to catch fire.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Hey, listen, that's the thing that probably doesn't get talked
about enough. And at some level I can understand because
you get to week twelve in the season and you
say in a lot of ways you are what you are,
but we've seen enough flashes to know they can be better, yes,
And that's I guess. That's what I continue to come
back to, is like they still haven't played their best
football yet.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
That will they ever get to their best football?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
That's a different discussion, But I'm inclined to believe in
a second year of development that they I would bet
on that happening more so than the regressing or being
what they are are, I guess into the future forever.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Well, let me ask you this question, based on what
we've seen so far the Broncos the season and every
other team, right, give me a number where you think
that this where you think they are now and where
do you think that they need to be from percentage
standpoint for this team to get to.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
The Super Bowl and win it, where do you think there.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Are now like as far as the percentage.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Offense production sixty to win it? This office needs to
get to where there's sixty now eighty.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You don't have to be perfect, That's right.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
You don't because here's what we've seen in the past.
And I guess this is why it gets I agree,
because we've seen in the past teams with lesser talent
at the quarterback position. Trent Dilferd right with the Baltimore Ravens,
Brad Brad Johnson with the Tempa Bit Buccaneers.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
They were not out of this.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
World quarterbacks, but they had great defense, They ran the ball,
they had great special teams and that's what.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Got them there. Right.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
But now you come and you, combined with the Broncos
have is I say world be the defense. You throw
Marvin Memes into the mix, and then you throw bow knicks.
And I would like to say the run game, just
give me a little if you can give me sixty
percent run game sixty asking for too much, right, give
(07:24):
me sixty percent.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Broncos won the Super Bowl, all right, Broncas win the
Super Bowl, and I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I'm not saying that to be a homer, but I'm
just looking at things from a statistical standpoint.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
But you also just sort of compared Bonis to so
I didn't no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
See I said, those guys didn't really have the athletics
athletic ability at the time, but they won because they
had other things.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Helped propelling them and pushing them forward.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Bow has a lot of ability if we get the
offense that you said they're at sixty, if we can
get them.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
At eighty right once again, we could grease.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, and this is a good and going back to
we heard that Buger McFarlane sound by earlier when he
was talking about where these teams and why he believes
in them because they're more team centric. They're built around
concepts that are not just the quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's why it.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Is so dangerous when you put it all on Josh
Allen or Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson because at the
moment they have a bad game, and we've seen Lamar
Jackson have bad games in the playoffs. We've seen Josh
Allen have bad games in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I haven't seen a lot of.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Patrick Mahomes bad games, but obviously the Super Bowl was
an example where he did not play a great game.
And so when you build around the quarterback that way,
and then it has to be on the quarterback, and then,
of course inevitably that's gonna be a flawed metric.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I'm gonna knock on some wood right now because I'm
saying that because I've.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Heard that over here. That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, yes, that's because it's real wood. That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well, I mean, I get but the microphone picked it up.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Those clubs absolutely we here for effects too as well.
So the hot whole idea.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
The reason I did that because if something happened to
Daniel Jones, a Josh Allen, a Lamar Jackson, and we've
seen this with Baltimore, they're done.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
If something happened to god.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Forbid, Bo Nick's knackle Wood yet again, so you can
hear it, the Broncos would be in good company because
you got Jerystidham. Yeah right, and we've seen Jervistidham move
the ball down the field.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
It's not going to be a panic.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
So this is probably one of the better built teams
or or playing from a team football standpoint.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
Right now, especially after the winner, we can't sit it.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Okay, So let's go back to this Brandon Cooks conversation
for a minute because we had some questions coming in
on this five six six nine zeros our Koe Commas
free health text line. You and I think disagree a
little bit on and again they have to claim him
off waivers or I guess if nobody claims him, then
signed wherever he wants to sign. So let's just for
argument sake, say nobody claims him. He has a choice
(09:54):
to go to amy team he cho chooses the Broncos. Now,
I believe this would be a good signing for the team.
And it's not because I think that the receiving core
is fundamentally flawed or that you absolutely have to have
it as a giant semi truck drives in front of us.
It's more about what the veteran leadership and the consistency.
(10:14):
That's the one thing I think that we are still
lacking at times now because a consistency from the quarterback.
Sure is a consistency from the play caller, absolutely, but
there's also as the team is tied for the league
in drops, right now the league lead and drops with
the Jacksonville Jaguars. I could see how Brandon Cooks could
(10:34):
help that cost.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So you want more reliable hands a true definition to
hands on philosophy. Right, I'm with you, and I totally
get that. But here is the only pushback. We saw
Trent Schiffield and I think you say that he signed
with Arizona Card. Correct if you were to bring in
Brandon Cooks, he clears waivers. Okay, fine, to sit someone
(11:00):
down who said, now, right.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, little Jordan Humphrey, well.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
He didn't he didn't really play. He didn't play on Sunday,
so so we can't even talk about him.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Well, I'm just saying you.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
You moved on from Transhuirfield for little Jordan Humphrey, and
then suddenly Brandon Cooks is available to you.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
So now we move on from the Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No, no, I'm keeping him.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You gotta keep him.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He's just gonna be my healthy scratch.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
He's gonna be a healthy scratch.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Okay, Now let's move the game day. There's a number
of guys that you can have. I think it can
be forty nine guys, right, and usually you know we
get screwed defensively because it's always extra lineber who don't
even play in the game. I mean, no, those are
real facts. No, no, no, no, no, no, Ryan, those are
real facts. If a team needs, say, well, what do
we need going into this game, we're gonna we're gonna
(11:42):
keep up too extra alignment, right because they're deemed more
important to skill players, because we'll get another Ryan. There
was just run around and just kind of make some
plays for us.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Now that's what everybody says.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
With that, Beings said, Brandon Cooks is added to this
team clearing waivers. We're on game day against the Commanders,
even against the Las Vegas Raiders. Which receiver you're sitting down?
You gotta sit down someone?
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Well, Jordan, No, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
He's not even on a game day active roster. He
was last week active rosters. He would get no touches, nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Like, but he was acting. He was active for the game,
all right, he was on eight.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Don't put up the stats from last game. Pull up
the stats from last game, but pull it up and tell.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Me which one of those receivers you're sitting down.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't have to sit down any of them. Acting.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
What's the use of happening? Brendon cooks on the roster,
hypothetically speaking if he's not gonna play. So we're talking
about playing, which one of those guys are you sitting down?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You don't have to, you just rotate him in.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
No no no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
In this exercise, ry you gotta sit someone down.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I really don't.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
No no no in this exercise.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
In this exercise, and I'm stopping my foot emphasis in
this particular exercise that I'm given to you, you have
to sit down, one wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I keep telling
you the yes or, and you keep telling me. I'm
not telling you what what?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
What? Take these crazy pills and shut them down your throat?
What's y'all? Are you too? Who you sitting now? Come on?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Nobody, no, no, nobody. I guess I guess if you're saying.
I think I understand what you're trying to say.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You you understood when I say to two minutes ago, well,
what you're.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Trying you understood it.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What you're trying to say is are you not going
to be targeting? I think that's what you're trying to say.
Are you not going to be targeting, say Troy Franklin
or Marvin Mimes or Pat Bryant's as much.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
That's what you're trying to say.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Someone's not getting targets.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Because Brandon Cooks comes here. We know the elevation of
plays behind the line of scrimmage are gonna happen on screenplays?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Listen, who know what's gonna happen if it means that
Troy Franklin and I'm just running through this exercise with
you because I feel like this, this is what you need.
So over the last let's say just three games, but
I could go to five because it would even I
prove my point more.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
But I'll just stay with three.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
So against Houston, four catches on ten targets, against the
Las Vegas Raiders, five catches on nine targets. Last week
against Kansas City, four catches on eight targets. So he's
catching like fifty percent of the targets. Why, I think
as you develop a more and by the way, there's
some drops in there, as you know, Yes, clearly, I
(14:36):
think as an exercise, if I'm going to say, well,
instead of eight targets to Troy Franklin, maybe it's only six,
and maybe those other two targets this week will go
to Brandon Cooks on the week that he had ten
targets towards him and he only caught four passes.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Well, guess what, I have four.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Targets now that are available to Brandon Cooks that I
otherwise wouldn't have. And guess what, Troy Franklin, You're gonna
have to be more efficient in your targets or I'm
not gonna be targeting you as much.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
How about this for a theory or idea. You're just good.
I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Give me about flowers because I just played your game.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
You played the game. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
We got some nice party and gives for Ryan Yarwoods. Yes,
thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Now, with that being said,
and all the numbers that you tossed out, wouldn't it
be great to give some of those or push some
of those targets towards.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I don't know, Court on a sudden number fourteen.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I mean, but you're not doing that. And if you
were gonna do that, you wouldn't do that already.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I mean, I know they're not doing that. That's why
I am talking about it. That you need to do it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I mean, he had eight targets in the game and
only cut four. That's another inefficient performers.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Would you not.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Say one of which I told you.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You can see the video at Nick ferguson und Score
at twenty five. It's that thirty fifteen play.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Why do I sign it? What do I feel like
I'm signing up for amoy.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Where Courtland Sutton on one of those eight targets, actually
made himself readily available and kind of make sure he.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Moved past the dB to clear him to.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Give bow an opportunity because guess what, no one else
was open, not a soul, not a damn soul.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
But that guy number fourteen, he created space.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
So I'm thinking, okay, critical third and fifteenth play, third
and long play.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Why not get that guy more touches? Why not?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Because over the past couple of weeks we've seen the
conservative effort to get Troy Franklin the ball, And I'm
not saying that that's a bad thing. I'm just saying
make it really difficult for opposing defense defenses to know
who you're going to give him the ball to a
feature and get everyone involved.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
That makes it harder.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I guess I'm arguing this from the other side, saying
that the inefficiencies that are happening with the offense are
in part because of the inconsistencies that exist with this
receiving cores, and if you added a more efficient wide
receiver into it, if you dropped one in. I'm not
asking to trade a first and a third for Jayalen Waeld,
though that would have been fun. Yeah, this is a
guy you don't have to do anything for other than
(17:11):
just bring in and pay, which already is a negotiated
down salary. He did that today so that he could
be received or released. That's my point is, you're you're
a very inefficient offense, but you could be much more
efficient if you had a receiver in there that.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Was Well, you're gonna sit one of those receivers now,
and you're none of those. It's not gonna be Call
of suddon because Call of Sudden isn't constantly dropping passes.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He does have drops.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Yeah, okay, I said, I'm not even going down. I said,
he not constantly dropped.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm not even down on Corland Sutton. In fact, I'm
barely even down on any of these guys.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
It's just to say that you are leading the league
in drops right now as a wide receiver and tight
end corps.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
That is a fact. That is not a speculation. This
is what you are.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
There are some things we just talked about it. There
are some things at this point in the season you
can say you are. There's some things you can say
I think we could get better at that's one of them.
But you are that as we sit here today now,
is that going to be an achilles heel as you're
making your playoff push and your push for the first
overall seed.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I certainly hope not. And if they decide not to
bring in Brandon Cooks or he gets claimed off waivers
and leving there, that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You still got to improve the run game. I still
probably think about adding somebody there too. But I do
believe because.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Of Brandon Cook's familiarity with Sean Payton and his ability,
He's got nearly ten thousand receiving yards bro like he.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
How many catches in yards does he have a go
to pass?
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Two seasons over the past two seasons.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
This year on a very bad Saints team, he's got
nineteen receptions on twenty five targets.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
By the way, talk about efficiency.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Blowing out of the water.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You say that, Look who's been throwing in the ball.
Nineteen receptions on twenty five targets.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You may tell you what Troy Franklin's is. What I'll
tell you a second.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
And then last last year with Dallas, he had twenty
six receptions on fifty four targets.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
And how many games did he play it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Ten? Most of all, See, he's played all year, so he.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Played in Dallas, what ten games?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
And it doesn't seem like his numbers were equal to
the times.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Look, he's on the tail end of his his career,
end his career, because it's like Vernon Davis, right, It's
like you bring in a guy that is is clearly
like last year or two of his career, but he
still has value and he can still have value for you.
You want to hear the productivity. Troy Franklin's got forty
(19:45):
six catches, which is nice. Hey, listen, I'm not even
down on I mean a lot of people after this
twenty eight catch season last year would probably be pretty
thrilled about forty six catches at this point and then
having a chance to get to sixty maybe even more
on eighty one targets. Forty six catches on eighty one targets.
That is insanely inefficient. And that is gonna be the thing,
(20:10):
whether you address it now or we talk about this
in the off season, that is gonna be one of
the biggest topics for this team.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Well, that means that the Broncos are throwing the ball
at a high level.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
And I'm not looking at the numbers, but.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
If I had to guess, bo Nick says leading the
league or near the top of the league one, maybe
one or two as far as passing attempts. So also too,
there's been a considerive effort, especially during that time when
Marvin Mains was out, a lot of those passes were
going to guess what, Troy Franklin. So when we look
at the Broncos situations and games, and I don't have
(20:45):
anything about against Brandon Cooks, but it's like, Okay, well
you got a bunch of young receivers, now, Cooks, you
need to get these guys ready for the long playoff
push and beyond.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, and a veteran receiver can help.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Only way you do that is getting those guys on
the field allowing.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Them to play, but you've done. It's continuation.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
And if you got guys who are not catching the ball,
which you stated etequently that the Broncos, I think you
said they leave the league and drops right, you focus
on that, you coach them up on that part of it.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I think you made more points about your Monazouma's revenge
than you did in the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Whatever you want to say, good, good response.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Yes, whatever, whatever that's that's that's the best way to
response to its. Like if my wife says something and
I disagree with it and I don't have a.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Quick come back whatever, Yes, though you how does that
usually work out for you?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
I'm not saying that it always ends up great for me,
but I just walk away mentally feeling as though, you
know what, I won one?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Do you feel you would?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yes, I'm not saying that like I actually won, but
I said I said I feel as though I I did.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
And then I'm as she said, like he probably thinks
he would that right. We are live here at King Supers,

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Out and Mandy Connle said, you're the most fashionable person
here at the station.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
And I appreciate that, but it's not something that I'm
constantly thinking about.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
I don't lie awake.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
A night like, oh man, well now I think you do?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
What am I gonna worry tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I really do think you think that?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
No, I really don't know. I okay, I already told
you my strategy.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No, you did tell me your strategy, but it doesn't
mean you weren't lying awake thinking about it. No, I
don't into your closet.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
It's not like I pull out my wardrobe lying on
the bed. Step back, take a look.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
At Actually, I think that's exactly what.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Take a picture of it, like I'm gonna hurt him
to with this. No, No, I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yourify yourself sleepwalking into your closet at night like you're
like standing there.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
No, those details were so specific, I'm gonna have to
I'm gonna have to call a foul.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
What do you mean you were?
Speaker 8 (24:43):
You were incredibly specific and nuanced with those details, almost
like it was something that you had been through before.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I've never done it, but well, based on what Ryan
was trying to set up right to lead the witness
as far as people coming in.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
To to think that, No, im, look look at the temper.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Right we are looking at him one of the most
incredibly handsome, well dressed, tomacturate.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
They put together people I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
They dress very fashionably and and he coordinates, so so
ask him if he lays the stuff out.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
It's like, no, you just have an idea of what
you want to wear. But they just put it to
game as a fashion Maybe he can just.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Reach in the closet come out like that. You've got
to lay it out. You've got a photo, you gotta.
I mean, you had some incredibly specific detail.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
In there that that led me to believe that this
was pretty planned. Well, I'm just.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Gonna say, my my teenage daughters, they follow you on
Pinterest and their good fans.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
That's a good one, Ryan, that's a good one. I
don't have a comeback for that. I know that's a
good one.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's too devastating. There's nothing you can say it devastated.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah, every night though, my teenage daughters, this is no joke.
They are on Pinterest picking out their outfits and figuring
out what fit they're gonna put for high school the
next day.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
So I'm just saying I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I just walk into closet, I turn around, boom, and
I go to it.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Click you here three times? All right.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
So there's an interesting sort of phenomenon that's happening right
now with the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't think people
are prepared for, or they haven't been prepared for, the
idea that this team might be coming to the end
of what they are what they have been, which is
the dominance of a team that has won the AFC
West for nine straight years, have been to well, won
(26:27):
the AFC Championship Game or been the AFC Championship Game
so many times, been to what five of the last
six Super Bowls. So I'm equating this in a lot
of ways to like Tiger Woods or maybe even Michael Jordan,
where like we here locally.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We want the Chiefs to be dead and.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Gone as soon as possible, Like we I'm so sick
of the Chiefs. Literally, any team in the AFC Championship
Game or Super Bowl than the Chiefs, I don't even
care at this point. And I don't like the Ravens
right for the history that the Broncos have with them.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I could kind of get behind.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Josh Allen and the Bills right because you kind of
feel bad for them at this point. But the cheese
I am done with. I think a lot of Broncos
fans are done with. But I listened to so many
sort of national podcasts and they are bending themselves into
knots and twisting and doing all these gymnastics into saying, well,
I still think this is the best team in the AFC.
I literally heard a podcast say that today I did,
(27:23):
this is the best team in the AFC and they
will win and be representative in the Super Bowl, even
though as we sit here today they are the nine seeds.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
So I think, and that's why I keep coming back
to the whole Tiger Woods thing.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I think that it equates to when it's one of
the greatest of all time, which Patrick Mahomes is in
that conversation as far as quarterbacks go, and you're talking
about dynasties in large parts.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
You end up kind of rooting for those. On a
national scale, you.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Root for the elite of the elite at their position,
and it's a tough realization when it's coming to an end.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
So I just I it blows my mind.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Listening to it because we here in Denver are done
with it. We've been done with we wanted to end
as soon as possible. But from a national perspective, I
think I can kind of wrap my head around why
Team White whit analysts are out there saying I don't
want it to end, and this is why I think
they are the best team still in the AFL.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Soll Ryan, when you're speaking of is the same thing
that we've seen in every sport, Like look at the
Patriots on their twenty year run. No one could believe
that their dynasty was coming to an end, and the
marriage between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady was finally science delivered.
Tom Brady was in a different uniform. He won a
Super Bowl away from New England with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
(28:44):
No one ever saw that one coming. So and even
with that, Tom had to pass the torch to someone.
In every single sport we see it happen. We saw
doctor j pass it to you want to say bird
and magic Bird, and Magic passed to Jordan. Jordan handed
over to Kobe. Cobe handed over to Lebron right. So
(29:07):
it's kind of an evolution in sports. And people don't
want to see Kansas City fall because they've seen them
so consistently. But it's the same reason why people hate
Kansas City, the same reason why people hated the Bulls,
they hated the Pistons, they hated the Yankees, right hated
the Boston's breasts because it was like, we're seeing them
too much. It was great that they got here, but
(29:28):
then now it's we're overrun with that situation, and that's
why fans are upset. But when we look at Kansas City,
just like all the great teams sports, teams that.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Have had epic collapse, why right, you start.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
To lose pieces of your team as players either retire
or they join other teams.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
That's what's happening with Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
But there are the Nick Rights of the world, who
feels as though, as long as you have fifteen and
Andy Reid, you're okay. You're always in the conversation. And
I know, by the way, let's not forget this. The
NFL has done a great job and they're one of
the better professional leagues in all sports of branding and
marketing because without Kansas City.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
There's no Travis Kelcey and guess who else?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
There is no tell Us wife, right, and that that
was a huge bump for the NFL. So you have
to figure that there's certain people in Park Avenue. They
want to find a way to get them back.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
And they keep saying, like you keep saying that there's
people are sick of it, and I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
We think that that's the case, but I think we're
projecting a little bit, I think they actually want the
Chiefs in.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
When you say they they being who would you say.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
I'm saying the GP. I'm saying that, I'm saying the
general public.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
They want the elite of the elite, and they still
view the Chiefs as that kind of team.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They still view Mahomes is that kind of guy.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
And well, they're they're they're not, they're not ready, they're
not elite like they want work.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I know, individually, it's going to come to an end,
and maybe it's it's right now. But listening to all
of these reading these think pieces and listening to all
these podcasts and national people sort of twist themselves around
and say.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
No, no, no. In fact, last week this is the perfect example.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Last week before the Broncos and the Chiefs played, the Chiefs,
who are on the outside looking in, were the favorite
to win the Super Bowl like in that.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Moment because I because the idea was that they have
the baby.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Go go back to the Madden cover where you had
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes on the cover. People don't
want to see the fact that things may be coming
to an end with Kansas City not not saying completely
like they're done.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
They're not gonna compete.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
No, no, no, Because everyone was comparing Tom Brady and
Patrick Mahomes and saying that the Kancity Chiefs were the next.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Big dynasty like the forty nine.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Ers were when I was growing up, and when the
Patriots became in a twenty year run with Tom Brady,
and the idea was like, well, Tom has more rings
on his fingers than any you know, most NFL franchises.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
So that's why they keep saying.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
That, because they want Holmes to project to be where
Brady is and that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Live from King Supers on Colorado and Yale till nine pm.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
It's the fifth anue Old KOA Holiday food drive benefiting
Food Bank of the Rockies.
Speaker 3 (32:19):

Speaker 5 (32:25):
We are live here from King Supers at Colorado and Yale.
It's been a really fantastic day so far. Here a
lot of great listener interactions. Again, can't think our promotion
staff enough. Shannon Scott out here with us. Anthony Rodd
was producing earlier as well. Of course, Grant back in
the studio doing a wonderful job as he always does.
Broncos Country Tonight coming up at the top of the
(32:46):
hour with Benjamin Albright and Zach Seegers.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Hi, Ben, how's it going. It's good. It's good.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You know one thing I do want to ask you,
and I heard the tail end of you Nick talking
to Anthony Rodd during Mandy Show about the Chiefs Cults
game this weekend, and I get, you.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Know, rooting interest is whatever. I don't.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
I don't even know really where to begin in some
part of course, I can never really root for the Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
You guys do this mental gymnastics twister stuff into pretzels,
stuff about who he can root for.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
This is just for fun. Just this is just for fun.
This isn't twisting myself in knots.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I honestly.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
This was what you guys were talking about at the
end of that show. I'm just gonna bring it to this.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's just more of what is the rooting interest for
the Broncos.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
Rooting interests of the Broncos would be Kansas City because
you'd want the Cults to lose, and you have the way.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
But you've already beat Kansas City, right, You've already They're
not gonna catch you.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
So the rooting interest would be you want Kansas City,
which is what Anthony the math by the math. Now,
if you have some convoluted reason for I hate the
Chiefs more than I hate trying to be a full
number one seed, than sure than you can root the
other way, I guess.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
But well, this is more.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Of like this is like the vampire thing right where
it's like until they're dead, they're not dead, or like
like Freddy Krueer or Jason or whatever. It's like you
want the Chiefs not in the playoffs, like and so
if the Colts can.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
I'm already you're already at pretzel.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
No, that's the other side of it. I'm not telling
you what I'm saying. I'm saying this is what the
others argument.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
What you want that you want in this case.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Thank you for dismissing the topic. I mean, we're one
rolled gold away from here from.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
Well, when you think about the Colts have already beaten
the Broncos, right, so you want in essence, they can't
say the Chiefs to go and win.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
A game against the Colts.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And I know here in Broncos country, I can't wear red.
I can't root for that team. You're only rooting for
them for four quarters just to beat that team, you, Yes,
to make things easier for you. Yeah, a mechanical outcome, Yes,
because the Colts have already defeated you're not gonna play
them again in the season, right, so that the chiefs
in essence would be helping you out.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
It's like the elf on the shelf.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
It's just basic, man, I'm dismissing the president. So I
was just like, we can solve this real quick. It's
your rooting for the Colts or you're an idiot. I mean,
there's not you know, or you hate the Broncos.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I mean, and somehow you don't think that's dismissive.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Somehow you think whatever you just said right there, you.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Guys can line or get out of the way.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
There it is. Yeah, that's been all right.
Speaker 5 (35:12):

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Was that some mac and cheese I saw there earlier?
It looked pretty good. Oh mashpas a gravy. Oh boy,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
That's a good time right there, No doubt about that anyways.
All right, so come down and say hi to us.
Get Colorado and Yale here, King Soopers were here until
nine o'clock five six, six nine zers are kawe commas
per health text line before we get Because somebody's asked
about Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I do want to talk about that a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
We did to have that conversation earlier, and you could
find some of it right now or in a little
while on demand. KWA Colorado dot com or on the
iHeartRadio app. So the AFC for a moment here, and
I want to ask you first, why do you think
as we were talking about a moment ago about the Broncos, Colts, Patriots,
(02:16):
for example, sort of the changing of the guard, why.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Do you think that's happening. Is this a one off?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
This is just what the NFL is every so often,
teams are gonna come out of some somewhat of obscurity,
because both the Patriots and the Colts, of course, were
bad teams.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Last year.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
The Broncos made the playoffs, but I don't think a
lot of people expected them in Week twelve to be
leading the AFC.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So is this a one off?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Or is this a sign of the times and maybe
some teams are finally catching up to these elites.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
It's a sounding time and teams are definitely catching up.
That's why every year there's a draft and this free
agency and as can you get the right players that
fit your scheme and then put them in position to
do well. Because let's think about what what it is
that we're talking about. Let's go with the Colts. First,
we knew that the Coats had one hell of a
(03:02):
running game, with John the Cooper. We saw it last year,
I mean Jonathan Taylor last year here against Brongos, and
if he doesn't drop the ball going into the end zone,
that's a different game.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
And that's when Anthony richardson.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
So they go out and they get a guy who
said who was a cast off who spent time in Minnesota,
and he sat back and.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
He watched and Daniel Jones.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Came back like like like revenge like it was like
diarrhea type of revenge right where where he was going
to make every point of that said, everything hold on,
just sad were reporting for a second?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Hear and now I'm gonna get to it. But making everyone.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Wait for that? Why why did it happen? You could
have gone like John Wick or something other. There's a
lot of revenge narratives.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Out there, but you know, but when diar reel, when
you get diaryea, that that that's montsouris okay, I'm.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Well yeah, because that.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
That's the the revenge of all revenge, right, yes it is,
trust me if you've ever been there.
Speaker 7 (04:02):
But the idea is.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Daniel Jones came back like like like return of the Jedi.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
If he was that's a better reference for you.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
I H.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
So that's what he was able to do as a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
And what we're seeing that took place or is taking place,
and uh in it New England is that you bring
in Mike Rabel, they bring back Josh mcdame's now you
have a coach who's not a great head coach, but
a great coordinator. And we're seeing the maturation process with
Drake may Now he's looking like now with the Patriots
what he looked like when he was at North Carolina,
(04:36):
right to validate his draft position.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
And then you look at the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
The defense has always been intact and you think about
bow Nicks was like, well, bow Nick showed a lot
of things in his first year, and it was like, well,
where can he get to in his second year?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Can he take it to another level? Now? Has the
offense gotten to that point? No? Have they shown signs
that they're capable of doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Absolutely, And that's the that makes them so dangerous because
they haven't really put four quarters a good football together
and they're still nine and two.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
That's the craziest part and that's what this is.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
The Broncos team is the most dangerous team in the NFL,
because it's a what if, it's a question mark, right,
you know what the defense is. You don't know what
the office is gonna give you. But if the office
starts to catch up, man, we about to catch fire.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
While I'm with you, to catch fire.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Hey, listen, that's the thing that probably doesn't get talked
about enough. And at some level I can understand because
you get to week twelve in the season and you
say in a lot of ways you are what you are,
but we've seen enough flashes to know they can be better, yes,
And that's I guess. That's what I continue to come
back to, is like they still haven't played their best
football yet.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
That will they ever get to their best football?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
That's a different discussion, But I'm inclined to believe in
a second year of development that they I would bet
on that happening more so than the regressing or being
what they are are, I guess into the future forever.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Well, let me ask you this question, based on what
we've seen so far the Broncos the season and every
other team, right, give me a number where you think
that this where you think they are now and where
do you think that they need to be from percentage
standpoint for this team to get to.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
The Super Bowl and win it, where do you think there.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Are now like as far as the percentage.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Offense production sixty to win it? This office needs to
get to where there's sixty now eighty.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You don't have to be perfect, That's right.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
You don't because here's what we've seen in the past.
And I guess this is why it gets I agree,
because we've seen in the past teams with lesser talent
at the quarterback position. Trent Dilferd right with the Baltimore Ravens,
Brad Brad Johnson with the Tempa Bit Buccaneers.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
They were not out of this.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
World quarterbacks, but they had great defense, They ran the ball,
they had great special teams and that's what.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Got them there. Right.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
But now you come and you, combined with the Broncos
have is I say world be the defense. You throw
Marvin Memes into the mix, and then you throw bow knicks.
And I would like to say the run game, just
give me a little if you can give me sixty
percent run game sixty asking for too much, right, give
(07:24):
me sixty percent.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Broncos won the Super Bowl, all right, Broncas win the
Super Bowl, and I'm not sure.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I'm not saying that to be a homer, but I'm
just looking at things from a statistical standpoint.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
But you also just sort of compared Bonis to so
I didn't no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
See I said, those guys didn't really have the athletics
athletic ability at the time, but they won because they
had other things.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Helped propelling them and pushing them forward.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Bow has a lot of ability if we get the
offense that you said they're at sixty, if we can
get them.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
At eighty right once again, we could grease.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, and this is a good and going back to
we heard that Buger McFarlane sound by earlier when he
was talking about where these teams and why he believes
in them because they're more team centric. They're built around
concepts that are not just the quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's why it.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Is so dangerous when you put it all on Josh
Allen or Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson because at the
moment they have a bad game, and we've seen Lamar
Jackson have bad games in the playoffs. We've seen Josh
Allen have bad games in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I haven't seen a lot of.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Patrick Mahomes bad games, but obviously the Super Bowl was
an example where he did not play a great game.
And so when you build around the quarterback that way,
and then it has to be on the quarterback, and then,
of course inevitably that's gonna be a flawed metric.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I'm gonna knock on some wood right now because I'm
saying that because I've.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Heard that over here. That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, yes, that's because it's real wood. That's right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well, I mean, I get but the microphone picked it up.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Those clubs absolutely we here for effects too as well.
So the hot whole idea.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
The reason I did that because if something happened to
Daniel Jones, a Josh Allen, a Lamar Jackson, and we've
seen this with Baltimore, they're done.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
If something happened to god.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Forbid, Bo Nick's knackle Wood yet again, so you can
hear it, the Broncos would be in good company because
you got Jerystidham. Yeah right, and we've seen Jervistidham move
the ball down the field.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
It's not going to be a panic.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
So this is probably one of the better built teams
or or playing from a team football standpoint.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
Right now, especially after the winner, we can't sit it.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Okay, So let's go back to this Brandon Cooks conversation
for a minute because we had some questions coming in
on this five six six nine zeros our Koe Commas
free health text line. You and I think disagree a
little bit on and again they have to claim him
off waivers or I guess if nobody claims him, then
signed wherever he wants to sign. So let's just for
argument sake, say nobody claims him. He has a choice
(09:54):
to go to amy team he cho chooses the Broncos. Now,
I believe this would be a good signing for the team.
And it's not because I think that the receiving core
is fundamentally flawed or that you absolutely have to have
it as a giant semi truck drives in front of us.
It's more about what the veteran leadership and the consistency.
(10:14):
That's the one thing I think that we are still
lacking at times now because a consistency from the quarterback.
Sure is a consistency from the play caller, absolutely, but
there's also as the team is tied for the league
in drops, right now the league lead and drops with
the Jacksonville Jaguars. I could see how Brandon Cooks could
(10:34):
help that cost.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So you want more reliable hands a true definition to
hands on philosophy. Right, I'm with you, and I totally
get that. But here is the only pushback. We saw
Trent Schiffield and I think you say that he signed
with Arizona Card. Correct if you were to bring in
Brandon Cooks, he clears waivers. Okay, fine, to sit someone
(11:00):
down who said, now, right.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Well, little Jordan Humphrey, well.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
He didn't he didn't really play. He didn't play on Sunday,
so so we can't even talk about him.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Well, I'm just saying you.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
You moved on from Transhuirfield for little Jordan Humphrey, and
then suddenly Brandon Cooks is available to you.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
So now we move on from the Joe.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
No, no, I'm keeping him.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
You gotta keep him.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
He's just gonna be my healthy scratch.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
He's gonna be a healthy scratch.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Okay, Now let's move the game day. There's a number
of guys that you can have. I think it can
be forty nine guys, right, and usually you know we
get screwed defensively because it's always extra lineber who don't
even play in the game. I mean, no, those are
real facts. No, no, no, no, no, no, Ryan, those are
real facts. If a team needs, say, well, what do
we need going into this game, we're gonna we're gonna
(11:42):
keep up too extra alignment, right because they're deemed more
important to skill players, because we'll get another Ryan. There
was just run around and just kind of make some
plays for us.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Now that's what everybody says.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
With that, Beings said, Brandon Cooks is added to this
team clearing waivers. We're on game day against the Commanders,
even against the Las Vegas Raiders. Which receiver you're sitting down?
You gotta sit down someone?
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Well, Jordan, No, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
He's not even on a game day active roster. He
was last week active rosters. He would get no touches, nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Like, but he was acting. He was active for the game,
all right, he was on eight.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Don't put up the stats from last game. Pull up
the stats from last game, but pull it up and tell.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Me which one of those receivers you're sitting down.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I don't have to sit down any of them. Acting.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
What's the use of happening? Brendon cooks on the roster,
hypothetically speaking if he's not gonna play. So we're talking
about playing, which one of those guys are you sitting down?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You don't have to, you just rotate him in.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
No no no, no, no no no no.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
In this exercise, ry you gotta sit someone down.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I really don't.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
No no no in this exercise.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
In this exercise, and I'm stopping my foot emphasis in
this particular exercise that I'm given to you, you have
to sit down, one wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I keep telling
you the yes or, and you keep telling me. I'm
not telling you what what?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
What? Take these crazy pills and shut them down your throat?
What's y'all? Are you too? Who you sitting now? Come on?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Nobody, no, no, nobody. I guess I guess if you're saying.
I think I understand what you're trying to say.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
You you understood when I say to two minutes ago, well,
what you're.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Trying you understood it.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What you're trying to say is are you not going
to be targeting? I think that's what you're trying to say.
Are you not going to be targeting, say Troy Franklin
or Marvin Mimes or Pat Bryant's as much.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
That's what you're trying to say.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Someone's not getting targets.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Because Brandon Cooks comes here. We know the elevation of
plays behind the line of scrimmage are gonna happen on screenplays?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Listen, who know what's gonna happen if it means that
Troy Franklin and I'm just running through this exercise with
you because I feel like this, this is what you need.
So over the last let's say just three games, but
I could go to five because it would even I
prove my point more.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
But I'll just stay with three.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
So against Houston, four catches on ten targets, against the
Las Vegas Raiders, five catches on nine targets. Last week
against Kansas City, four catches on eight targets. So he's
catching like fifty percent of the targets. Why, I think
as you develop a more and by the way, there's
some drops in there, as you know, Yes, clearly, I
(14:36):
think as an exercise, if I'm going to say, well,
instead of eight targets to Troy Franklin, maybe it's only six,
and maybe those other two targets this week will go
to Brandon Cooks on the week that he had ten
targets towards him and he only caught four passes.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Well, guess what, I have four.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Targets now that are available to Brandon Cooks that I
otherwise wouldn't have. And guess what, Troy Franklin, You're gonna
have to be more efficient in your targets or I'm
not gonna be targeting you as much.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
How about this for a theory or idea. You're just good.
I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Give me about flowers because I just played your game.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
You played the game. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
We got some nice party and gives for Ryan Yarwoods. Yes,
thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Now, with that being said,
and all the numbers that you tossed out, wouldn't it
be great to give some of those or push some
of those targets towards.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I don't know, Court on a sudden number fourteen.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I mean, but you're not doing that. And if you
were gonna do that, you wouldn't do that already.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I mean, I know they're not doing that. That's why
I am talking about it. That you need to do it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I mean, he had eight targets in the game and
only cut four. That's another inefficient performers.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Would you not.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
Say one of which I told you.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You can see the video at Nick ferguson und Score
at twenty five. It's that thirty fifteen play.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Why do I sign it? What do I feel like
I'm signing up for amoy.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Where Courtland Sutton on one of those eight targets, actually
made himself readily available and kind of make sure he.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
Moved past the dB to clear him to.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Give bow an opportunity because guess what, no one else
was open, not a soul, not a damn soul.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
But that guy number fourteen, he created space.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
So I'm thinking, okay, critical third and fifteenth play, third
and long play.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Why not get that guy more touches? Why not?
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Because over the past couple of weeks we've seen the
conservative effort to get Troy Franklin the ball, And I'm
not saying that that's a bad thing. I'm just saying
make it really difficult for opposing defense defenses to know
who you're going to give him the ball to a
feature and get everyone involved.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
That makes it harder.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
I guess I'm arguing this from the other side, saying
that the inefficiencies that are happening with the offense are
in part because of the inconsistencies that exist with this
receiving cores, and if you added a more efficient wide
receiver into it, if you dropped one in. I'm not
asking to trade a first and a third for Jayalen Waeld,
though that would have been fun. Yeah, this is a
guy you don't have to do anything for other than
(17:11):
just bring in and pay, which already is a negotiated
down salary. He did that today so that he could
be received or released. That's my point is, you're you're
a very inefficient offense, but you could be much more
efficient if you had a receiver in there that.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Was Well, you're gonna sit one of those receivers now,
and you're none of those. It's not gonna be Call
of suddon because Call of Sudden isn't constantly dropping passes.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
He does have drops.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Yeah, okay, I said, I'm not even going down. I said,
he not constantly dropped.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
I'm not even down on Corland Sutton. In fact, I'm
barely even down on any of these guys.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
It's just to say that you are leading the league
in drops right now as a wide receiver and tight
end corps.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
That is a fact. That is not a speculation. This
is what you are.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
There are some things we just talked about it. There
are some things at this point in the season you
can say you are. There's some things you can say
I think we could get better at that's one of them.
But you are that as we sit here today now,
is that going to be an achilles heel as you're
making your playoff push and your push for the first
overall seed.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I certainly hope not. And if they decide not to
bring in Brandon Cooks or he gets claimed off waivers
and leving there, that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You still got to improve the run game. I still
probably think about adding somebody there too. But I do
believe because.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Of Brandon Cook's familiarity with Sean Payton and his ability,
He's got nearly ten thousand receiving yards bro like he.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
How many catches in yards does he have a go
to pass?
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Two seasons over the past two seasons.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
This year on a very bad Saints team, he's got
nineteen receptions on twenty five targets.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
By the way, talk about efficiency.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Blowing out of the water.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You say that, Look who's been throwing in the ball.
Nineteen receptions on twenty five targets.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You may tell you what Troy Franklin's is. What I'll
tell you a second.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
And then last last year with Dallas, he had twenty
six receptions on fifty four targets.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
And how many games did he play it?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Ten? Most of all, See, he's played all year, so he.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Played in Dallas, what ten games?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
And it doesn't seem like his numbers were equal to
the times.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Look, he's on the tail end of his his career,
end his career, because it's like Vernon Davis, right, It's
like you bring in a guy that is is clearly
like last year or two of his career, but he
still has value and he can still have value for you.
You want to hear the productivity. Troy Franklin's got forty
(19:45):
six catches, which is nice. Hey, listen, I'm not even
down on I mean a lot of people after this
twenty eight catch season last year would probably be pretty
thrilled about forty six catches at this point and then
having a chance to get to sixty maybe even more
on eighty one targets. Forty six catches on eighty one targets.
That is insanely inefficient. And that is gonna be the thing,
(20:10):
whether you address it now or we talk about this
in the off season, that is gonna be one of
the biggest topics for this team.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Well, that means that the Broncos are throwing the ball
at a high level.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
And I'm not looking at the numbers, but.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
If I had to guess, bo Nick says leading the
league or near the top of the league one, maybe
one or two as far as passing attempts. So also too,
there's been a considerive effort, especially during that time when
Marvin Mains was out, a lot of those passes were
going to guess what, Troy Franklin. So when we look
at the Broncos situations and games, and I don't have
(20:45):
anything about against Brandon Cooks, but it's like, Okay, well
you got a bunch of young receivers, now, Cooks, you
need to get these guys ready for the long playoff
push and beyond.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, and a veteran receiver can help.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Only way you do that is getting those guys on
the field allowing.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Them to play, but you've done. It's continuation.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
And if you got guys who are not catching the ball,
which you stated etequently that the Broncos, I think you
said they leave the league and drops right, you focus
on that, you coach them up on that part of it.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I think you made more points about your Monazouma's revenge
than you did in the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Whatever you want to say, good, good response.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Yes, whatever, whatever that's that's that's the best way to
response to its. Like if my wife says something and
I disagree with it and I don't have a.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Quick come back whatever, Yes, though you how does that
usually work out for you?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
I'm not saying that it always ends up great for me,
but I just walk away mentally feeling as though, you
know what, I won one?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Do you feel you would?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Yes, I'm not saying that like I actually won, but
I said I said I feel as though I I did.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
And then I'm as she said, like he probably thinks
he would that right. We are live here at King Supers,

Out and Mandy Connle said, you're the most fashionable person
here at the station.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
And I appreciate that, but it's not something that I'm
constantly thinking about.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
I don't lie awake.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
A night like, oh man, well now I think you do?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
What am I gonna worry tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
I really do think you think that?
Speaker 7 (24:09):
No, I really don't know. I okay, I already told
you my strategy.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No, you did tell me your strategy, but it doesn't
mean you weren't lying awake thinking about it. No, I
don't into your closet.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
It's not like I pull out my wardrobe lying on
the bed. Step back, take a look.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
At Actually, I think that's exactly what.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Take a picture of it, like I'm gonna hurt him
to with this. No, No, I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yourify yourself sleepwalking into your closet at night like you're
like standing there.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
No, those details were so specific, I'm gonna have to
I'm gonna have to call a foul.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
What do you mean you were?
Speaker 8 (24:43):
You were incredibly specific and nuanced with those details, almost
like it was something that you had been through before.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I've never done it, but well, based on what Ryan
was trying to set up right to lead the witness
as far as people coming in.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
To to think that, No, im, look look at the temper.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Right we are looking at him one of the most
incredibly handsome, well dressed, tomacturate.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
They put together people I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
They dress very fashionably and and he coordinates, so so
ask him if he lays the stuff out.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
It's like, no, you just have an idea of what
you want to wear. But they just put it to
game as a fashion Maybe he can just.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Reach in the closet come out like that. You've got
to lay it out. You've got a photo, you gotta.
I mean, you had some incredibly specific detail.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
In there that that led me to believe that this
was pretty planned. Well, I'm just.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Gonna say, my my teenage daughters, they follow you on
Pinterest and their good fans.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
That's a good one, Ryan, that's a good one. I
don't have a comeback for that. I know that's a
good one.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's too devastating. There's nothing you can say it devastated.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Yeah, every night though, my teenage daughters, this is no joke.
They are on Pinterest picking out their outfits and figuring
out what fit they're gonna put for high school the
next day.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
So I'm just saying I like that.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
I just walk into closet, I turn around, boom, and
I go to it.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Click you here three times? All right.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
So there's an interesting sort of phenomenon that's happening right
now with the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't think people
are prepared for, or they haven't been prepared for, the
idea that this team might be coming to the end
of what they are what they have been, which is
the dominance of a team that has won the AFC
West for nine straight years, have been to well, won
(26:27):
the AFC Championship Game or been the AFC Championship Game
so many times, been to what five of the last
six Super Bowls. So I'm equating this in a lot
of ways to like Tiger Woods or maybe even Michael Jordan,
where like we here locally.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
We want the Chiefs to be dead and.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Gone as soon as possible, Like we I'm so sick
of the Chiefs. Literally, any team in the AFC Championship
Game or Super Bowl than the Chiefs, I don't even
care at this point. And I don't like the Ravens
right for the history that the Broncos have with them.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I could kind of get behind.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Josh Allen and the Bills right because you kind of
feel bad for them at this point. But the cheese
I am done with. I think a lot of Broncos
fans are done with. But I listened to so many
sort of national podcasts and they are bending themselves into
knots and twisting and doing all these gymnastics into saying, well,
I still think this is the best team in the AFC.
I literally heard a podcast say that today I did,
(27:23):
this is the best team in the AFC and they
will win and be representative in the Super Bowl, even
though as we sit here today they are the nine seeds.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
So I think, and that's why I keep coming back
to the whole Tiger Woods thing.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I think that it equates to when it's one of
the greatest of all time, which Patrick Mahomes is in
that conversation as far as quarterbacks go, and you're talking
about dynasties in large parts.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
You end up kind of rooting for those. On a
national scale, you.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Root for the elite of the elite at their position,
and it's a tough realization when it's coming to an end.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
So I just I it blows my mind.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Listening to it because we here in Denver are done
with it. We've been done with we wanted to end
as soon as possible. But from a national perspective, I
think I can kind of wrap my head around why
Team White whit analysts are out there saying I don't
want it to end, and this is why I think
they are the best team still in the AFL.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
Soll Ryan, when you're speaking of is the same thing
that we've seen in every sport, Like look at the
Patriots on their twenty year run. No one could believe
that their dynasty was coming to an end, and the
marriage between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady was finally science delivered.
Tom Brady was in a different uniform. He won a
Super Bowl away from New England with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
(28:44):
No one ever saw that one coming. So and even
with that, Tom had to pass the torch to someone.
In every single sport we see it happen. We saw
doctor j pass it to you want to say bird
and magic Bird, and Magic passed to Jordan. Jordan handed
over to Kobe. Cobe handed over to Lebron right. So
(29:07):
it's kind of an evolution in sports. And people don't
want to see Kansas City fall because they've seen them
so consistently. But it's the same reason why people hate
Kansas City, the same reason why people hated the Bulls,
they hated the Pistons, they hated the Yankees, right hated
the Boston's breasts because it was like, we're seeing them
too much. It was great that they got here, but
(29:28):
then now it's we're overrun with that situation, and that's
why fans are upset. But when we look at Kansas City,
just like all the great teams sports, teams that.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Have had epic collapse, why right, you start.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
To lose pieces of your team as players either retire
or they join other teams.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
That's what's happening with Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
But there are the Nick Rights of the world, who
feels as though, as long as you have fifteen and
Andy Reid, you're okay. You're always in the conversation. And
I know, by the way, let's not forget this. The
NFL has done a great job and they're one of
the better professional leagues in all sports of branding and
marketing because without Kansas City.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
There's no Travis Kelcey and guess who else?
Speaker 6 (30:15):
There is no tell Us wife, right, and that that
was a huge bump for the NFL. So you have
to figure that there's certain people in Park Avenue. They
want to find a way to get them back.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
And they keep saying, like you keep saying that there's
people are sick of it, and I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I don't think that's the case.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
We think that that's the case, but I think we're
projecting a little bit, I think they actually want the
Chiefs in.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
When you say they they being who would you say.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
I'm saying the GP. I'm saying that, I'm saying the
general public.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
They want the elite of the elite, and they still
view the Chiefs as that kind of team.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
They still view Mahomes is that kind of guy.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
And well, they're they're they're not, they're not ready, they're
not elite like they want work.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I know, individually, it's going to come to an end,
and maybe it's it's right now. But listening to all
of these reading these think pieces and listening to all
these podcasts and national people sort of twist themselves around
and say.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
No, no, no. In fact, last week this is the perfect example.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Last week before the Broncos and the Chiefs played, the Chiefs,
who are on the outside looking in, were the favorite
to win the Super Bowl like in that.
Speaker 7 (31:19):
Moment because I because the idea was that they have
the baby.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Go go back to the Madden cover where you had
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes on the cover. People don't
want to see the fact that things may be coming
to an end with Kansas City not not saying completely
like they're done.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
They're not gonna compete.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
No, no, no, Because everyone was comparing Tom Brady and
Patrick Mahomes and saying that the Kancity Chiefs were the next.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
Big dynasty like the forty nine.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Ers were when I was growing up, and when the
Patriots became in a twenty year run with Tom Brady,
and the idea was like, well, Tom has more rings
on his fingers than any you know, most NFL franchises.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
So that's why they keep saying.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
That, because they want Holmes to project to be where
Brady is and that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (32:08):

Broncos Country Tonight coming up at the top of the
(32:46):
hour with Benjamin Albright and Zach Seegers.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Hi, Ben, how's it going. It's good. It's good.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
You know one thing I do want to ask you,
and I heard the tail end of you Nick talking
to Anthony Rodd during Mandy Show about the Chiefs Cults
game this weekend, and I get, you.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Know, rooting interest is whatever. I don't.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
I don't even know really where to begin in some
part of course, I can never really root for the Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
You guys do this mental gymnastics twister stuff into pretzels,
stuff about who he can root for.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
You can't.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
This is just for fun. Just this is just for fun.
This isn't twisting myself in knots.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
I honestly.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
This was what you guys were talking about at the
end of that show. I'm just gonna bring it to this.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's just more of what is the rooting interest for
the Broncos.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
Rooting interests of the Broncos would be Kansas City because
you'd want the Cults to lose, and you have the way.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
But you've already beat Kansas City, right, You've already They're
not gonna catch you.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
So the rooting interest would be you want Kansas City,
which is what Anthony the math by the math. Now,
if you have some convoluted reason for I hate the
Chiefs more than I hate trying to be a full
number one seed, than sure than you can root the
other way, I guess.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
But well, this is more.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Of like this is like the vampire thing right where
it's like until they're dead, they're not dead, or like
like Freddy Krueer or Jason or whatever. It's like you
want the Chiefs not in the playoffs, like and so
if the Colts can.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
I'm already you're already at pretzel.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
No, that's the other side of it. I'm not telling
you what I'm saying. I'm saying this is what the
others argument.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
What you want that you want in this case.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Thank you for dismissing the topic. I mean, we're one
rolled gold away from here from.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
Well, when you think about the Colts have already beaten
the Broncos, right, so you want in essence, they can't
say the Chiefs to go and win.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
A game against the Colts.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
And I know here in Broncos country, I can't wear red.
I can't root for that team. You're only rooting for
them for four quarters just to beat that team, you, Yes,
to make things easier for you. Yeah, a mechanical outcome, Yes,
because the Colts have already defeated you're not gonna play
them again in the season, right, so that the chiefs
in essence would be helping you out.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
It's like the elf on the shelf.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
It's just basic, man, I'm dismissing the president. So I
was just like, we can solve this real quick. It's
your rooting for the Colts or you're an idiot. I mean,
there's not you know, or you hate the Broncos.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I mean, and somehow you don't think that's dismissive.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
Somehow you think whatever you just said right there, you.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Guys can line or get out of the way.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
There it is. Yeah, that's been all right.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
