Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Welcome to it broncos Country tonight.But with all Brian, Dick, Ferguson,
Grant Smith, some guy over hereI don't recognize you had some of
Mike Farm Oh never go what youmean some guy? Some guy already?
Look your friend in me? Issomeone not sitting in a seat mad like
the beard is gone and I don'tknow what to do with it. I

(00:20):
am the same person, are you? Though? Are you sure you out
of a light up right now?I'm not sure that I would. No,
Okay, So that means that Ihave been successful. For those that
don't know, Nick Ferguson has shavedthe beard seven years, seven years,
I'm still the same person. Howis it that you guys don't recognize that?

(00:44):
Dude? You just look different,like you look vastly different without a
beard. Okay. So I wasat broncos Ota practice today. Yeah,
you walked past me four times.Okay. So my teammate Nate Jackson he
know it was me. All theseother people who was like no, Cody
Rock he was just like, ohwow. Then Ryan walked up and he
didn't he didn't believe it was me. And then once you came and I

(01:07):
walked past you watching the special team'sdrills. You didn't even miss a beat.
You just continue to talk through conversationand didn't even know that. Ryan
was like, hey, did younotice Nick's face? And that's where you
looked and I'm looking around where isNick? Literally right in front of me?
Was what? Okay? So didyou here's my here's my thoughts on

(01:32):
this. You either had a BritneySpears mental breakdown moment you got way too
hot and your sleep last night,or you committed your committed a crime and
don't want to be recognized, likethe opening scene from White Collar, Take
It Escape. Wait, wait,of all things, of all things,

(01:53):
those are the three things you cameup with. That's the only thing that
I can wrap my mind around.Like Ryan said, hey, did you
lose a bet? I was like, well you should know if I'm listening
to the show. I don't gamble. I've tried man many a time.
Yes, I don't. I don'tgamble is just something I have been contemplating
for about two years, and everytime I stand in the mirror with the

(02:15):
clippers, I was just like,you know what, just give it one
more go, right, one morego, and then we'll be fine,
but it's terrifying my kids. It'sscared the crap out of her. I
see saying that. Those my nextquestions. So first of all, how
do the kids take it? Andthen second of all, the wife is
the wife pro beard or pro withoutthe beard? Well, okay, here's
a great thing. I'm married toa fantastic woman and she loves me with

(02:39):
or without it. Now, I'mhappy to be talking to a couple of
media types at practice. I willnot call their names out, but they
told me that they could not cuttheirs. Their wives would not allow them
to. I said, what doyou mean she won't allow you to.
You are man, but we doman type things. If you want to
grow out your beard, you can. If you want to cut it off,

(03:00):
you can. But they would not. Uh no to the white's not
listening, and I throwing it downfor minted. She's not listening. She's
guarding right now. Yes, youguys, tell yeah, months to work.

(03:21):
I know. I mean, Ijust I literally did not recognize you
walk past me like two three times? Did not. I looked in the
direction. I looked in your directionwhen I walked in, because you were
already there. I was a littleaking there. I just kept a stretching
because you know, I saw youtoo. You looked at me dead actually
did not recognize you not. AndI'm like, I'm like, I don't
know if the people listen at homeknow this, but like practice, like
I'm kind of a social butterfly,Like I'm like, hey, you know,
I'm you know, talking everybody,bounce around, all this kind of

(03:44):
stuff. Hey, you did not, like just flat out did not right.
You know what I did not realizeuntil today, how face you hair
really changes the structure and the featuresin your face and how people see you.
Yeah, that's like makeup for man. Yes, yeah, yes,
yes, m Someone that practiced toldme today was like, yeah, you

(04:05):
grow beers like a sports braw foryour face. I was like, what
what kind of analogy is that?A sports braw for your face? No,
wonder braw for your face, whateverit is. It's just like what
I just couldn't really get with thattype of a frame of thinking, but
cutting the hair off my face thatthere is a significant difference that that I

(04:30):
noticed myself as far as my youthfulfeatures, you know, just kind of
coming through. I will say,like, like, you much younger than
you are. If I had torandomly, if I didn't know you and
I had to guess, I wouldguess you were younger than me, ye'd
say thirty five. Yes, likeyou look like you should be back out
on the field right now. Youknow what. Maybe that's what you say.
I looked at No. No,but you guys have seen me in

(04:53):
this studio. There's there's nothing aboutme the difficulties, the sitting, sitting
standing that say that I need tobe back on the field, none of
that. Here's it's only it's onlyyou know what. Here's what it is.
It's a facade, the appearance thatI can, but I know I
can't. I want you now thatyou shave the beard, you need to
join the mustache brotherhood. I thinkyou would look great with him. My

(05:17):
oldest son asked me about that,and I said, no, I can't
do that, not with those glasses. Why not with these glass really,
dude, like if you it rightnow and with those glasses, like you
gotta say, you're the sort ofthe same frame, like said, like
man with the hat on, andif you had the hat off, it'd

(05:38):
be different. But the hat onlooks like both finger you know what?
Grant. I might try that justto see what it looks out. Yeah,
just see what it looks like.It just looks I just think it
looks a little creepy on me.Well, it looks so creepy about me,
a lot creepy on me, Ben, Yes it is. I don't
know, grow like an actual mustache. What I grow is like the teenage

(05:59):
crustache. Yes, going on thereand just looks like there's dirt on my
upper lip. If you know,if if I wanted to, I could
do that. Did the soul passionhave the full pack to lynch look?
Yeah, yeah, it's it's bad. Nobody wants me to Nobody wants me
to get to that. That typeof ficial facial hair on me makes me
look like like a creeper. Yeah, but growing hair, it's kind of
like a write of passage to manhood, right, and when I was getting

(06:23):
there something, Yeah, but youstill get the five o'clock shadow where it
ends like this is this just likethree works of growth. The reason I
grew it initially was to test mylevel of patience and tolerance because I can't
stand that that new growth is fishingor whatever. And then also in my
twenties, I was still being carted. So it was just like, well,

(06:44):
I need to grow something to showthat I'm a I'm a man in
a room. So that's that's that'swhy I grew it. But yeah,
it was time for somewhat of achange. You have to put a for
the listeners that can't see you onso you got to put up a new
picture on it. We're gonna putside. We gotta throw something up on

(07:04):
Twitter because I can pull like,what's theick ferguson? Yes, AIRB,
I might do that, yeah,face or the real man? What are
you a real man? I meanyou were just saying the beard made you
feel like a real man. Ijust saying maybe facing. Now you're doing
that, Ryan, I didn't saythat, right, I say just a

(07:26):
rite of passage, right to showthat, hey, here's my masculinity.
That things have changed. I'm surethere's other listeners who are out there who
could grow a full beard in likefive days. And there's some other listeners
who they're in their forties and featslike can't, Yes, they can't.
I get three weeks and I barelygot to growth on the front. Now
right here on my neck, youknow, no problem, Jackie moon Frow.

(07:49):
But you know, yeah, it'sjust the older you get, the
more the hair creachs from the topof your head out of the back of
your Why don't you take the hairfrom the back and just put it on,
Yes to it here on my replacementfrom your next pet in your face.
Oh my goodness, five six sixtynine year olds a text a lot.
I can't read that one from thenineth to seven. Oh, but
that is absolutely fantastic. I appreciateit. We got a big show tonight.

(08:13):
B Kay's gonna join us at theseven o'clock hour talk a little bit
about to the city thoughts on theend of the Nuggets and Abs season.
We got Chris Thomason, who wasalso with us out there at OTA's at
eight oh seven from the Denver Getsset got to jump on. He finally
got his question answered after Sean Paytongave him the run around about fifteen times
when he's trying to talk about ZachWilson. So I love Chris thomasin mad
Nobody nobody make sure their question getsanswered, Like Chris Thomas know what.

(08:35):
He was standing right next to meand he was so excited that he was
coming on with us tonight. Andit's great when you're able to have other
people who cover this team come onbecause you get a different set of opinion
and a different set of eyes,because even though we might see the same
thing, your interpretation of what you'reseeing is entirely different. So I would

(08:58):
definitely won't want to get his thoughtson the quarterbacks because that is obviously the
biggest topic of conversation. How welldid those guys do? Who was the
front runner? Well, you andI haven't talked about our thoughts on that
yet. I do want to,you know, I thought how the quarterbacks
did today? I have some thoughts. I saw some things now. I
don't want to overanalyze. It's dayone, O t A s right.
I hate it when we we hadwe had instant draft report card grades,

(09:20):
we got all. I hate thatkind of stuff and I hate that from
ots. But I didn't noticed acouple of things today that I do I
do want to talk about with you. I do want to discuss uh we
got uh the I don't know ifyou saw it or not. The Beverly
Hills Cop four trailer dropped today.Man, I love Hugh Bevan's got four
axle f this is what it's uh, that's what it's called. Broughton Pinchell.

(09:43):
Yes, I mean I'm not eventalking about the Balky bar talking with
stuff like you know, great tweet, right, yeah, he's back to
this. It looks good. Itwas pretty good and actually it was pretty
good. Good drop on Netflix orwhatever. But it got me thinking about
like, what are the you know, the the Nuggets didn't have the sequel
that we wanted this year, butwhat are the greatest sequels of all time?
Whether that's a sports dynasty like thePatriots or movie franchise, what are

(10:05):
the greatest sequels of all time?If you say fashion the furist up,
shut your mic off right now.No, I'm thinking about the bulls,
right you think about yes? Uh? For me, you know, it's
it's Star Wars and when I'm letme Empire strikes back. Okay, all
right, all right, that's areally cool about to go prequels there and
shut your mic off again. Noyou said just to shut it off again?

(10:28):
Yes, yeah, I mean Ithink that was good. I thought
the Top Gun sequel was phenomenal.I thought that lived up you know a
lot of times obviously the Dark Knight. I think everybody would say that's one
of the greatest sequels on the topof the Beast Broncos. Back to back
there you go back, going backto back back and was it ninety seven
ninety eight? I was thinking ofKobe and Shack. Weren't they back to

(10:50):
back with the Lakers? Yeah?I think so, then two out of
three. You know, I can'tvery look at that, but I think
they were back to back in theearly two thousands. That sounds right.
I'm gonna I'm gonna say you're righton that, because uh, doing what
I'm doing well quickly? Can't canI was going to throw out the Harry

(11:11):
Potter movies, But can I throwthat out there as a sequel because that
was kind of a series of Yeah, that's a series. I feel like,
is there is that kind of adifference. I think that is a
difference because it was a book first, and there were seven books, so
you knew they were gonna be Butwhat was there was kind of a sequence
to order where one came first andthen the other game after. That's true,
like definitely Hollows one and two,right, I like those two?

(11:35):
Okay? Can I throw those in. I mean those are sequels to the
other ten Harry Potter. Harry ishe? How old is Harry Potter?
Now? Do we have to callhim Harold? No, he's still eating
Sarah Harry. Yes, to mykids, he's still Harry Potter. Yeah.
And Daniel Radcuff like thirty five,now we have to call him Harold
Potter. I think he might beolder than that now might be speaking of
which I think it's one of thereasons that Ratcliffe grew out of space you

(12:00):
here, because he wanted to growout of thirty five July. Yeah,
he wanted to grod roll of HarryPotter because for me, that's the one
thing about being tight cast. Well, right, that's what That's why Rob
Pattinson did. He did the onewith the movie Will Him to Follow,
and then he did the Chris Nolanmovie. And that's why I couldn't really
visualize him as you know, TheDark Knight, Yeah, because because I

(12:22):
was like I saw you as Isaw he was a sparkly vampire dude,
like I'm never gonna well in uh, what was the movie with Denzel's Kid
that he did with Chris Nolan.Oh, it's super weird. Yeah.
He was also in one of theHarry Potter movies Rough Pattins. Yes,
he was the Game, Yes,Tragic Death. Why you looked at me

(12:43):
like that because I don't know whatthat means. Yeah, that's his character's
name, that's his Yes, Lordkills him. Yes, well spoiler alert.
Well you haven't seen Harry Man.It's been like years. I don't
feel bad for you. It's notlike Ben is actually going to either one
read the book, to read allthe books. You read all the books,

(13:05):
never saw the movies. I doknow. I' mess with you.
I never saw the I never sawthe movies. I read the books because
when I was in I Rack,you would literally read anything. You got
so bored, you'd literally read anythingexcept Twilight. I read any of those.
Would not do it, couldn't doit. I've seen the Twilight movies
and I was pleasantly entertained. Yeahthey are. Lord of the Rings just
came over the text like, ohyes, absolutely. The Matrix. See

(13:30):
I liked the Matrix sequels. Noteverybody did. I liked them. Greg.
It's just hard for any of thosemovies to live up to how great
the first one was tough for me, that's what again, it's tough to
deliver up to the original like Anchormantwo, Blue Chunks, Zoolander two.
What were you doing mane? Idid think you mentioned Fast and Furious.
Don't come at me with that.But I think the first two movies are

(13:52):
great, and the Fastes first moviewas as bad the second one. Yeah,
it was okay, and the TokyoDrift wasn't bad. It was after
that that they got and and andI'm gonna borrow something from you here because
Luda was in it. Ludicrous,you know, they had we had cars
ramping from tower to tower and Dubaiand I'm like, we're we're like,
we're a half of a frame awayfrom Transformers here. I'm pretty sure they
went to the moon and what reason. I made a joke, that's the

(14:16):
thing. I made a joke aboutthat, like a decade ago, because
they were when they were on like, what's the next one for Fast and
the Furious Drive to the moons?And then they did, and I'm like,
we're level here, what do wedo? Yes? So yeah,
I don't. I don't really,I don't really care to care for those
Somebody wants to cut my mic offI don't know why. I don't really
care for for a lot of those, but I thought those sequels were interesting.

(14:37):
Somebody in Kansas City back to backit hurts you are well, come
on, man, chief whoever youare. Man, you know it happened.
But you can't toss that out here. We don't want to do that.
It's it's Broncos country tonight. Well, this is a geographical footprint.
We even welcome the Chiefs fans.Listen, listen to this show, right,
That's gonna be a three peat probably, And it hurts to say so

(14:58):
great. I wouldn't say that forif I were you, especially with your
love of your skyline Chile and yourCincinnati Bay. Yes, because that would
mean that your team has now beenbounced again. Yeah, and probably their
last chance to make a real runwith T Higgins and Jamar Chase both on
the team. F T Higgins everreports to camp, which I think he
will eventually for twenty two million guaranteed, but we'll see. Keith Orlando says

(15:22):
Godfather to Empire Strikes Back, Rockytwo and Lethal Weapon two best four sequels.
Legal Every two was a fantastic sequel, was better than the original,
and better than anything that came afterit. That is the penultimate in the
in the series of movie. Whywas you ever watched the Lethal up and
TV show? Yes? I did, you know? After they killed off
because the wayans and the actors didn'tget along the end up killed off the
character and all that. But man, that was good for like two seasons.

(15:43):
No, it crazily it was.And here's something that's crazy. There
was one of the writers on theshow. I used to date her.
Oh, okay, which was madeit really uncomfortab okay. Yes, you
know. One of the scenes thatthey used stock footage a lot of the
times. One of the scenes fromthat show, Uh, they actually are.

(16:04):
They're supposed to be in La butit's them at a diner and it
shows the outside of the old Denverdiner. Oh, go back and watch
that. You can see it.They made a goofairs and it says Denver
Diner right there. You can't missit before for it flashed inside of them
at a diner they're supposed to anell. Yeah. I just thought it
was being like Superman two better thanSuperman one. I think that's fair.
Okay. By the way, theLakers won three in a row with Kobe.

(16:26):
I thought it was two thousand andtwo thousand and one. Two thousand
and two sounded right. I justdidn't want to say it, and then
I want to sound like, yep, I'm gonna say this, and that's
gonna be wrong. You know,it was a bad sequel though, because
there there some good ones, there'ssome bad ones. But Saturday Night Fever,
the sequel was Staying Alive. Therewas a sequel. I don't even
remember that. Yes, that's that'sthe one where where you know he was

(16:48):
dancing. John Travolta character was inthe city. Now he was dancing for
like a Broadway company. I don'tremember the story. I'm not I know,
I'm not a little I'm literally learningsomething right now. I'm the movie
for you guy. But yeah,I'm learning something right now. Marks down
Grant. I tossed something out thatBen did not know. For fun facts.

(17:08):
I did not know that there wasa sequel to Saturday Night Fever and
to Stand Alive. I did notknow that. And yes, and he
did the strut once again like theopening scene of Saturday Fever. Yeah,
at the end of Stand Alive,he did destruck. Okay, well,
I didn't know. I'm just tryingto think of, like if I had

(17:30):
to put a best sequel out theirOld Time Godfather to he Batman Returns.
Nobody said that one. Oh that'sright, you know, I thought that
was I thought that was something thatAliens Terminator two, both those were I
thought were up there. Captain AmericaWinter Soldier. Does that count as a
sequel? Yeah, I mean becausethe first Avenger that was that was the

(17:52):
first movie. Yeah, yes,and then that Batman series are as good
as the ones with Christian Bale,right, I mean Batman two like that.
The second Batman Returns was was asa sequel was on part of the
Michael Keaton right, yeah, notnearly as Val Kilmer and George Cloney.
Nonsense, I don't want to hearyou that. But and then Back to
the Future three. I didn't likeBack to the Future too, but I

(18:14):
thought Back to the Future that theone when they went back to the West,
the Old West one. Yeah,okay, I hate the woman that
went to the future, but Ilove the one where they went back to
the back to the Old West.Well you brought up another one, Aliens,
Yeah, the more the first Alienwas great, but Aliens. The
second movie was awesome. Yeah,and he did John Paxton character in that
movie fantastic. Maybe love the movie. Yeah, it was great, James

(18:37):
Cameron did. It's probably one ofthe best sequels of all times. Did
anyone say Blade two, No,that probably belongs on that one. Toy
Story two. Yeah, Toy Story. Toy Story three was was really good,
I thought, but most people didn'tlike it because it made them cry.
But I'm like, but that agood movie. But we all love

(19:00):
Ted Lasso and that makes us cryright well? Whoa speak for yourself?
Cried on Ted Last? All youget choked up for what? I think?
I cried almost every episode seas whoa, whoa Wait a minute, she
was two and three. There werea bunch of bunch of them save my
face. But you guys are sayingthat you cried on episodes of Ted Last.

(19:21):
Real man cry Nick and they growbeards. I had a beard.
Give cancer the finger, guys.We got a four pack of tickets to
give away to the Philadelphia Phillies herein town on Saturday. We'll give those
away in the next segment. StickRide. This is Broncos Country Night k
Wait, Welcome back to It.Broncos Country tonight, Benjamin Albright, Nick
Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you, Buff Football's eighty nine ninety Sea Bus

(19:45):
Football. That ninety that's a goodone. Yeah, it hasn't been that
way in a while. So that'sfrom the three. Yeah, A lot
of good a lot of good stuffthere. Matt Mats got some uh mad
Max and mad Max beyond the Thunderdome. Yeah, yes, yeah, that's
good. That's good. I tookme minute there. I'm like, wait

(20:07):
a minute, which one Matt Maxis a sequel Thunderdome? Duh uh?
Five six six text that we willhave those tickets to get away here in
just a few minutes. What itgets your thoughts today on what you saw
on the quarterbacks and know what's theywon, you know a week one rather
OTA's all that kind of stuff.You know how people are they want the
instant reactions and all all that kindof stuff. I what I saw out
there, I saw Stidham look likea guy who did in the system for

(20:29):
a while, took it easy,he made the safe place, you know,
did that kind of stuff. ZachWilson kind of a train wreck who
gets hot at times, is probablythe best way to describe that, uh
he gets he. I mean,it's not deniable arm talent, but you
can see like there's something that's justnot right with that dude. And then
all of a sudden, a switchwill flip and he's lasered at four or
five throws in a row, andyou're like, oh, oh there it

(20:49):
is okay. The way that Ilook at it, depending on who you
are and depending on what narratives thatyou have when you went out to today's
practice, those narratives or you foundsomething to fit where it's so it's to
fit whatever that narrative was. Forme, I'm like, okay, let's

(21:11):
hearbro breaks. It's entirely too earlyto kind of give a proper evaluation because
things are not set up right.The environment is not set up for anyone
to give their pre perceived, youknow, evaluations on what this quarterback room
is going to look like. Andmore importantly, the guy's skills per se,

(21:32):
because when you look at Zach Wilson, Zach threw I believe the loane
interception today, yes, And shouldhe have kept that ball in his hands?
Absolutely no business right, And thebiggest thing that conversation today was there
are people walking around saying, Okay, listen, it's it's seven oh seven,
right, and you got to getthe ball out of your hand on
seven o seven. But here's thething that I remember, Ben, is

(21:56):
that we're all preachers of habit andwhat but we saw from Zach Wilson was
similar to what we saw from WissellWilson. If you're part of your skill
set in your game was mobility andmoving around, that's going to be that
it's gonna manifest itself right in onthat seven oh seven. He's like,
yes, you want him to throwthe ball. But also what I saw
was okay, him showing his athletics, athleticism to get outside the pocket and

(22:21):
had the ability to make things happen. But from a coaching standpoint, maybe
you do want him to throw theball, right, you get one of
those, you get one, youknow, you get one of those scram
Okay, I see your athleticism nowon now make that throw now. Yeah.
As far as the rest of it, like bo Nicks, you know,
he was throwing balls. There weresome balls that were that were well
placed. There were some balls thatwere a little bit behind the receivers.

(22:41):
They had to turn around to kindof make catches on them. Again,
I'm I said that on Twitter.If I started rushing to judgment, I'm
like, oh, wait a minute. I don't mean this in the sense
that it was bad. I meanthis in the sense that it's it's week
one of OTAs. This guy's notused to NFL speed and receivers used to
it's just college guys and where toput the ball and you know, and
so he's still adjusting to that.It's going to be a few weeks before

(23:03):
he gets that timing down with theseguys, and maybe even more than a
few weeks. And so I'm notjudging bow Knicks for having a couple of
balls that we're behind. It lookslike week one OTA's It's not a bad
thing. Well, I would cautionboth fans in those in the media watching
practice to just kind of look atthis situation as it progresses, because once

(23:29):
again, it's not about pushing agender right wrong or indifferent. But we're
dealing with a small sample size here, and granted guys are trying to fill
out their teammates. Now. Theonly guy who has I would say a
little familiarity with some of his teammatesin the system. That is gerristidam I
mean from Zach Wilson to bow Knicks. They don't. I mean over a

(23:52):
week ago there was a rookie minicamp and bo was just throwing to rookies
and Troy Franklin. So now percentof the guys that worked at mini campus
sell insurance. Now not if there'sanything wrong with you, right, but
now you're dealing with guys who arein practice. But here is also the
other thing to consider. Guys arein shorts in jerseys, they're not in

(24:14):
past. And then there are certainplayers who for whatever reason did not participate
in practice and you have to figureif those guys are in practice. It
changed a lot of things on bothsides. So just air on the side
of caution as far as what we'reseeing and how we're judging. The idea
is that seeing how guys moved aroundit at the first glance, what was
it like to see Zach Wilson inthe Broncos uniform, both Nick's competing and

(24:40):
being in that starting lineup against youknow, with the starting offensive line and
going through you know things and cadenceand all those things. To me put
all the attension on those things,and come training camp, we will have
enough to evaluate. Because in myyears being back here, I've stood all

(25:00):
all on the burm and I've watchedindividual's chart throws who won the day based
on completion two uh incompletion interception ratio, and I'm just like, that's one
way to do it. But thisthis graded on an overall scale once we
get to a game, because youcan manipulate things in practice. Well yeah,

(25:21):
what what what? What sessions areyou paying attention to? Like there's
no way like it was. It'sfunny to me. One of the things
I noticed a couple of years ago, somebody was charting seven on sevens.
How do you how do you dothat? There's no pass rush, there's
no pass rush? What are youdoing? I said, you're charting game
conditions? So like like for me, like if I was actually if I
was charting practice, which i II kind of find to be a bit

(25:44):
foolish anway, unless you're coaching andyou're trying to do something like as immediate
person to find that to be alittle follish. If you're trying then then
then all eleven on eleven in afull you know, in a full padded
practice. Okay, I could seemaybe trying to chart that, yeah,
but not seven oh seven, notone on ones and yeah when you do
one on ones, see what arewe doing here? This is why I

(26:06):
have a huge problem with that aspectof it, and even when I played,
because one on ones that's an offensivedrill. Usually the offense is trying
to work something or the defense istrying to work something. What are you
doing? Like? But now thetimes out of ten been the it's offensive
drill. So the offensive side ofthe ball they're going to win. The
drill is predicated to them to winbecause guess what you're supposed to Yes,

(26:30):
there's no pass rush, there areno linebackers sitting for shallow routes. The
idea is just to get the receiverscomfortable with with you know, defender out
there. Yes, the steps,the timing and older by the way,
there's somebody out there, so you'vegot a full mental plate. That's why
you do one on ones out inthe field, and then you do one
on ones inside the rezone, rightbecause you want to work on certain patterns.

(26:51):
And then sometimes it gets a pointyou do one on ones with two
receivers and two DB's because you're tryingto work on como rounds, you're trying
to work on communication with TV.So it's just like pump out breaks.
And if you want to be realistic, because I've seen this couple times on
social media where you have all theseone on one type of videos and people
high five and and all that,if you want to really make it one

(27:11):
on ones, put a stop watchon the quarterback. I'll make it more
realistic. Yeah, because if he'snot getting out in two point eight,
then what are you doing? Yeah, because I see these videos on the
SOCII five seconds, so he's runninglike three boles. Man, this is
like your quarterback will not have thatmuch time. Yeah. We had a
drill today where Bo you know,was holding the ball and he was like,
you're sacked. You're sacked again,You're sacked a third time, and
like you saw, you know somethinglike my bro, we're at seven seconds

(27:34):
here, like really quickly. I'mglad you rode the ball, but yes,
really quickly. When you look atNick Benito, the speed coming I
know he's looking better better, nopads, but the speed coming off the
edge, pay attention to it.Yeah, he's looking he's look good.
I promise you guys wild get awaysome tickets for giving them away. Now,
four pack of tickets to Rockies Philliesseven to ten Saturday at Course Field.

(27:59):
He called her right now, threeor three seven three eighty five eighty
five. It is three or threeseven through five. Excuse me, three
or three seven, three eighty fiveeighty five, and as a four pack,
it take us to the Rockies andgets Philadelphia Phillies on the twenty fifth
e color four. Right now,let's go ahead and check in with traffic
Withping O'Brien. They come from differentsystems. One's coming from college, one's
coming from two or three NFL systems, and the others coming from one system.

(28:23):
They're all in a race to learnthis system. And I would say,
you guys watched the practice, man, they're doing well. You know,
it's it's kind of the orphan group. You know, all of them
have they're all orphan dogs, youknow, they they they've come from somewhere,
but they're doing good and it's agood room. I needed to clarify
the orphan dogs thing because what followingthat up by just saying they come from

(28:45):
somewhere. Yeah, everyone comes fromsomewhere. Okay, then maybe you and
a handful of individuals may have wantedCoast to expand on it. What but
here's the way to look at whenyou think about orphaned dogs, right,
and you think about a dog that'skind of moved around, been in shelters
or whatever. When you walk intothat shelter, that dog is just a

(29:08):
wave in his tail. It isready, get me up out of here's
the one, yes, pick me. And because of that, there's a
general a kind of like a generalfeel of love and admiration because that person
chose you. So that dog wantsto do whatever is possible to protect that

(29:30):
person who took them out of aplace of uncertainty. So I can easily
see the metaphor how these quarterbacks fitinto that role. Because when you look
at Jared Stiddel, what was hecoming out of college? Right? And
then where has he been? TheBroncos gave him an opportunity last year?
So why de Sean Payton only likequarterbacks and went to Auburn. No,
that's not the case, because BoeNicks went to and I mean that was

(29:56):
that's right. He didn't go tobe he went to be yu. But
the idea is that you give someoneopportunity, that person is going to be
as moy you as a dog wouldbe. Because a dog is said to
be what man's best friend? Butthis in this case, it's Sean Payton's
best friend. I told you whenothers didn't choose you, Ben, all

(30:17):
right, Yes, we'll see.Sometimes that dog goes to the bathroom on
the rug and then you get badat him. Do you have a dog?
No, I had a lot ofdogs as a kid growing up.
I was just gonna say, becauseI probably wouldn't even recognize you today,
So I walk into that if Ihad a dog, So you said,
now walk into the house and thedog attacks me, because my god,

(30:47):
dog, Well that's not gonna betop your sal coming on the top of
the hour here in just a fewOh man, that's funny. That was
good. The other things we sawthere, I thought, I thought,
look cro looked looked all right outthere today. Let me tell you.
Getting that guy Lucas kroll in ittwined into the fabric of the scheme.

(31:07):
It changes so much because I lookat Krawl as being one of the possibility
of being like a George Kittle,who I spent time around in my time
in San Francisco, right, Andall the reason I'm making that comparison because
Kittle was one of those guys thatyou can flex out and he was a
matchup nightmare because of his speed.Krawl can do the same thing. Thinking

(31:29):
about how he was utilized today,and that was only a small temple size
of number eighty five, and thatwould change a lot as far as how
the Broncos want to run their offense. Because when you think about the tight
ends that Sean Payne has had inthe past, Jimmy Graham he had,
I guess, Jeremy Shockley was there, Jerry Cook, Ben Watson was there.

(31:53):
Some of those guys were inline blockers, but some of the other guys
I name, you can flex thoseguys out. That's a big flex And
when you do that, you takethe linebacker outside of the box, which
is using quarterbacks as far as yourun the ball, especially being around Alex
Gibbs, is creating a favorable boxso you can run the ball. And
if now a defense has to thinkabout, Okay, well, what are

(32:15):
we gonna do. Are we gonnatreat Crawled as a true tight end or
a big wide receiver. Are wegonna be in our nickel or we're gonna
be in our base So it makesthings easier for whomever the starting quarterback is
for the Broncos now, based onflexing them out, you get a favorite
box and that play action is rightthere. Kroller has an interesting backstory and

(32:37):
that I always use the Croll theWarrior King thing from You've ember that the
Huddle was a guy in Ten Dayswhere she gets Matthew McConaughey that tiny dog
and he's like, no, man, what's a real Kroll the Warrior King?
He needs a man name. Youknow. It's because the Croll the
Warrior King. That's that little tinylike Pomeranian or whatever. Was that Goldie
Hans's daughter. Yes, I can'tthink her name right now, but yeah,
yeah, she's in that something,Okay, yeah Hudson, Yeah yeah,

(33:00):
but uh anyway, that's that's whatI always think of when I hear
his name. But he was hewas originally a baseball player. He committed
to play baseball in Arkansas, andthen he went to junior college for football
and then worked his way out ofFlorida and then Pittsburgh. But yeah,
he had when he was a JeffersonCollege. He had twenty seven strikeouts in
sixteen and two thirds innings. Likehe was a lefty pitcher and he threw

(33:22):
some smoke. He is two hundredand sixty pounds at a four to six
forty really quickly. Would you thinkthat maybe Sean Payton would throw something in
for Lucas Crow like he did forit takes him hill like a left handed
throw kind of deal. I'm justsaying, hey, I am at A.
We got a head break and wecome back. BK
