Not the spicy chicken sandwich. They have a new extra
spicy chicken sandwich. Yeah, turn the mic.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
There we go.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
It's been well, so why don't you have to go
so far to their left and get extra spicy?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I wanted to try it? Killing me?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I am man, is your mouth warm and spicy? Everything
is warm and spicy right now? I am on fire
on the inside.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
And I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried. It's gonna be
a long night. I'm just saying it's.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I am that it's got some I'm not a spice
wimple's got some heat to it.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It just seems as though when you go to the
bathroom tonight, it's gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Be a flame on Best Cameo in the Midpool. By
the way, isn't that out on?

Speaker 4 (01:18):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Can't? Can't we stream that?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I think so soon? I thought I saw a commercial
for that. Maybe I'm wrong. What is the Joker Movie?
And the Joker Movie out today? I think I thought
it came out last Friday? Did it come out last Friday?
Am I behind?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
It might be you might be behind? All right, well
go ahead, yeah with the with the flame that you
might be a.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Little further behind it just saying five six six nights.
It was a text line pivoting as quickly as we
can off of that. Timy all, I'm just all up
saying is if you want any spicy, extra spicy chicken sandwich,
is extra spicy?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Can confirm?

Speaker 4 (01:48):
I never understood that with some individuals who have this
desire to really push the on the looak.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
We were on Leland Conway's show and we had the
spicy cheese balls whatever. You don't remember that I do,
but I myself so the Wendy's Frosty trying to get
the heat out of my mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yes see that was that was that was heat.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
But it's not as hot as you're describing right now,
the spicy cheese ball.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yes, and the thing was insane. Well, maybe it didn't.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
All of us there, including yourself, were pouring sweat.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You look like Jordan Peel from that sketch where he's
pouring sweat. Oh, I don't think it was that hot.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Now, it made you perspire, but it wasn't something where
your eyes were watering, just like some people have the
desire to eat ghost peppers.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, I don't understand that. I don't want heat for
heat's sake, but I wanted to try this sandwich just see.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Because the spicy chicken sandwich, I don't think that's very
spicy like the one they have it the spicy chicken.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
I didn't think it was very spicy. So you you are,
and I think Brant may be the same way. Maybe
when it comes to tasting food of a certain caliber,
you guys have are very adventurous to me.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, I'm staying in my lane. Yeah, we got we got,
we got shark stakes to bring it on. Rattlesnake, I'm
trying it. Gatertail, I'm here for it. Gatortail here or done?
Y'all want some gatortail.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
Lived in Florida. How do you not have gatortail? Just
because I lived in Florida doesn't necessarily.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Mean I like to eat gatortail, just a dush you're
legally required.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, So it's a Florida.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
So if I am on that southern panhandle right in
North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida, Georgia, whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, to be fair, you're from Miami and that's a
different that's not even Florida.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's diet Cuba.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like it's not like North Florida where you read that country.
You know what I mean, I know what you mean.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
But still, at the same time, just because I'm from
that region, you would think that I eat squirrel, I
eat raccoon. These are things I don't eat.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
God, yes, I would have never assumed that. Now that
you've mentioned it, I'm like, who do you know that
eats raccoon?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I went to college with You're eating poor little Rockets
from the movie Listen. I know guys who are from
like mox Corner, South Carolina, and they used to tell
these stories about.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
The Rokill Cafe.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yes, shooting squirrels with slingshots and possum. Yeah, what no,
I mean, look, I mean the exotic meats. I mean venison.
That's the exotic exact meat. For me, it is I'm
not eating raccoon. Well, I'm not gonna eat ratcouo. That's
one I'm not I'm not doing that. I can't eat
a cuddly, cute little raccoon. I mean, okay, so what

(04:32):
are they eating it in Arkansas? What are they eating
in Arkansas?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Chicken? They eat yardbird, chicken? What kind of chicken?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Because you know that, you know, every time someone eats something,
they always say what it tastes like chicken? So you
have to specify with context what chicken you're talking about?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Chicken, chicken, yardbird? Well, an, how many different types of
chicken are they?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
I only know one, but I talk to a lot
of people who eat different types of food, and it's.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Like, well, what does that taste like? Oh, it tastes
like chicken. Can tell taste like chicken? Though, I remember
we had to get a tail down and uh, you
didn't need it, I.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Know, I need no get to tell sure I made
edwards in the mace and everybody else you didn't need it, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
No, oh. And they were laughing at it because I was.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I was so tired that my my southern accent came
out like I normally I.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Keep my accent on. But I was like, yeah, y'all
give me some getter tail, right, see my wife cheese
like that. I don't know. I don't what's around?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
You know?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I well saw so because I had I had a
ridiculously spicy sandwich. I went to Wendy's on the way
and I had the extra spicy chicken sandwich, some new sandwich.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
E okay, I no, not okay, I'm hurting Steve. See
what he's about to experience.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
If you see me throw the headphones down, to the
mic off and do the bottle a boogie for the
for the bathroom, you know what happens.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You see what Ben is about to experience.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
It's the same thing that everyone experienced when they eat corn.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
The same way. It goes in the same way. He
comes out. Yeah, I don't. I'm worried. All I'm saying,
I'm worried about later. We're not there yet, but I'm
worried about later.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Five say six nine zeros A text line for let's
talk about literally anything else here.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Welcome in Steve, you don't thank you back in the
studio here, hold.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
On, man, I mean you you're going to just kind
of avoid the the dress.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I didn't realize it was Ryan Edwards day. It's I
didn't realize Ryan ever.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
He you know that shirt the collections right now, right now, Yes,
that would be Ryan.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That you get that down the deer just ask for
the Edwards. This is a nice shirt. I'm just saying, Wait,
I know Ryan has ten of that shirt. Yeah, here's
the difference.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
There's a difference between your shirt and Ryan shirt.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Right.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
See your your shirt has a punch of color. Right,
Ryan's shirts more or less lean towards really all like
really fall like brown leaves and greens or whatever. That's
a little punch. So I wasn't trying to, you know,
disparage you, but I would just say this is unexpected.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah I didn't just seeing broncos were you have a
button down?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
You have to get the plan. I'm saying trying to
just yes, but I hate and we appreciated thats exactly.
And wait a minute, you trying to make it sound good.
Steve added a little sophistication to it, right, because he
went from business.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
To party that's got one, but he doesn't relaxing.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I thought we were tired. That's why knowledging the style.
I know what you're doing. Man, What am I doing?
I know what you do? That's that?

Speaker 4 (07:46):
That's that Hollywood look right there, Yes, casual real salt.
I have a shirt just like that. But the colors
are green, orange and brown, green, orange and brown.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know if I want to see that one.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's like the can spice of shirts.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yes, kind of trust me. It blends perfectly, ok with
what anything? Those are earth tones? Why are you finding
orange in earth tones? I mean Georgia orange clay dirt.
There a god to George.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
That's not orange. It's like red. No, it's not. It's orange.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Bro.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
You know it's time I spend it for Gordon. You
know what that's saying in my shoes. That stuff is red? Well,
it's orange to me. So you got a color wheel
out here and check you guys. Five six, six nine other.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Shows already off the rail, says someone says an orchestra
to eat squirrels.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
H I told us they cooked right. It's pretty good
if you cooked right. I don't know. I've never had
squirrel I don't know. I can't tell you grant. Grant
had a squirrel. Squirrels delicious. M yeah, definitely had squirrel before.
What part of the squirrel is any part of the squirrel?
How much meat is that? That's like eating crawfish. It's like, yeah, yeah,

(08:58):
crawfie exactly.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
I don't eat crawl fish because there's no meat on it.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Is like shrimp.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
The dark turkey meat Okay, it's delicious, gamy but little
but delicious turkeys.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You guys eats.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
Rattlesnake is delicious, y'all do tried some rattlesnake, No.

Speaker 3 (09:21):

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Four six. Rattlesnake is delicious.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Where my dinners? I went to the dentist today and
got a two. Poorness, pretty painful right now. He told
me that he ate zebra, zero zebra. He said it
was the best meat he ever had.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
He must have been in Africa, Africa. Man, I don't
know if I could do it, eat a horse. I
don't know if I could eat a zebra. I know, man,
so many wild animals. Yeah, I'm not that risky, man,
I'm like you, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I mean, I am, But that's there's a line and
that That's where I think the line is.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
For me.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's like those like those billboards you see from Peter
and they're like they got get the ducks, the chicken,
the cow, and then it's like the dog the horse,
like which one's the pet?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Which one? See?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm like the lines right here, it's literally right here
between the cow and the horse.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Those to the left of food, those to the right
of pets. And I I am not that adventurous.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I know people who live in Canada and the Midwest
part of the State of the Constant who eat.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
The exact stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
It is like like, no, I can't do it if
you if you cook it and put it in a
stew and you don't tell me.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh yeah, I want to know before. Yeah, I want
to know before if I find out that.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
We had we used to have EMU all the time
they had an emu when the architel they had em
Is that like an Ostrich, right, It's a kind.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Of like a smaller Ostrich. Yeah, we said os tastes
really good. Yeah, it's it was good. That was that
was good, like sword fish and all that kind of stuff.
I mean it's different.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Though, so sore fish like me eating I he tuna
something I would never eat.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's adventurous to me. But aduros, Yes, why you wouldn't
need it? Wraw are you saying you wouldn't need it?
I wouldn't eat it? Wrong? Okay, Oh yeah, I'm not
eating wrong. I was like, I'm not a sushi guy.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I can just it's not my I had when I
was I had puffer fish one time and I got one.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Wait, that's poison it is.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I got super sick off it because it was not
completely done the way it was, and so that cured
me of sushi forever.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Why would you want to eat that? That's dangerous?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
See there it is. See that's always that saying before
someone does something like watch this. Yeah, everything that comes back.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
This wat was this? Check this out? Oh I have
six six?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Let's getting so Broncos talk. We were about a quarterway
through the season. What do you think about bick so far?
I mean, I look at him and I'm like, I
can see why they drafted him. I see I see
sort of what the what the goal is here?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
But I also see a guy's not ready yet. I
see a guy games just too fast for him right now.
I don't think so, I don't think. I don't think
that's the case.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
I think that what we saw in the preseason, they.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Got us hyped up.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
But he's played the way he played in the preseason,
I believe. One game, and hearing the number of people
who were there for the game in New York, the
rain was crazy and all the both teams, both offices struggled.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers struggled. Aaron Rodgers struggled to two hundred
and twenty five yards. So Bonick's got I'm looking at
my notes here, sixty. Yeah, but Rogers you gonna do that.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
See so both would have had three hundred, and would
have had six hundred, and.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Then there are that's ty of rod But I'm trying
to take it.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
As a report card of the first four games as
a whole.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, you look at you look at these There
are times like, for instance, even the touchdown pass court
and said, I'm glad it was a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Glad he finally got that monkey off his back.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
But if you're looking at this thing, the pole should
have been thrown to the pilon, not the post.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was behind the receiver.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Courtland made a great play on it to make it
a touchdown?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
How can we settle Bonnicks down. I disagree with that.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Because when I've seen players run that back of the
line over deep over route. Yeah, sometimes you could throw
it to the furthest parl on depending on where the
defender is.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
But you throw like you throw out the go post.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Like when I played and I was playing against Tony Gonzales,
that route was always thrown at the go bo.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, but in this particular case, I mean like you adjusted.
I mean like, for me, I'm looking at this and
if you go look at it from the twenty two
acre you can really see how far behind him it was.
I'm looking at this, and I'm like, why wouldn't you
had nobody there? I know what it's supposed to be,
but there's nobody there. You just lob it out into
empty space and let them go get it.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I want to go back to Lulu.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
What Steve said, and I don't want to make you
know excuses, but well, let's keep it a buck. Let's
keep it one hundred because when that football, and I
told this, when you and I were sitting down watching
the game on Sunday, anytime that football get as soaked
as it does, it makes it really slick.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
On the surface to grip it.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
And that's why fans were asking me, well, yes, that's
why people make fun of two gloves.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, but I see this is I don't mind playing
with the glove. Some people hate it. I don't mind
putting glove on, and some.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
People can't when they when they put the glove on
and you know how it sticks it, they can't get
the right grip on it, and they hate that.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I don't mind it, but some people, some people do
mind it. Baby Bow doesn't like it, Well, he may
not like it.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
But also someone was saying, well, maybe that was an issue,
and why during the evaluation of quarterbacks they look.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
For guys who were larger hand, which has larger Okay, but.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
This is why if you watch the game, you said,
right next to me, Aaron Rodgers gave a toss sweep
and guess what, he used both hands for bold security
and he's.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Got rather you know, large hand quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Right, So so to me, he had nothing to do
with that. But as it comes to the evaluation of Bow,
I still think.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And I believe most quarterbacks you to the pitch it.
Some guys don't.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
They pitched with like maybe you see that underhand, Like
I've a lot of the new kids us that under
underhanded flip, yeah, using the referee toss, you know what
I'm talking like that.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
But I still feel as though the Broncos made the
right decision selecting bo Nicks. There's a lot of other
things going on within the offense that you just can't
designate and say, Okay, well it is just this one particular.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Thing as the reason.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
I'm with you on that, And I'm not trying to
second guess the selection about we drafted him.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's the second guessing at this point is fudial.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
What I'm saying is just said, what can we do
to set him up for success? Because to me, it
still seems like it's a little fast form. I still
see the wheels kind of spinning on some of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I think that whenever we can get the run game
going we did.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
In the second half, I know, but but but I'm
talking about from the start, getting it going, getting a
run game going, getting him a chance to settle down
protective from it.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
The Office of Mind did a good job this game.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yes, they did, absolutely, Yeah, because considering uh, you know,
the weather and everything, thought they did a nice job.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Man. Sometimes you're just gonna have close games like this
that you just gotta slug it out. Nobody, no, no
offense is going to do good.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Both defense are dominating, and hey, the best man win
win the game.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
At the end.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
I think what happened, what's happened in the league is
since everyone's pushed all their chips at the center the table.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's a quarterback driven league.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Every single week, you're expecting a certain amount of points, right,
even sometimes a certain performance from.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
A young quarterback. But there are defensive units in this
league that are going to play like that. Got one
of them here.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yes, whether it was it's it's indoors, outdoors, raining, snow
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
But for meet, let's give the defense credit.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Let's not just try to you know, this man to
boat as a player, but let's just give the Jets
defense credit.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Is though, we should give the Broncos defense credit, right.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I mean, and I do want to give the Jets
defense credit. But I you know, now we've got bo
Nicks going up against uh. We got a couple of
home games. You got a bang up Raiders team coming
into town. You gotta bang up Chargers team come to
Town a.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Week after that.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I mean, you don't want to count your whatever
brand of chicken you have before it happens, but extra
spicy as it were. But I like, you do kind
of look at this and like, hey, wait a minute.
We got two winnable games sitting here in front of
us before a primetime game down there in New Orleans.
This thing is shaping up real tasty all of a
sudden for the Denver Broncos going forward into the season.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, and I love it that.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Hey, the fans, we can say that, but in that
locker room they can't say that.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Ahead killed go ahead one game, right right? But Broncos
told you, like, yeah boy, But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
These upcoming games they are now become the big tests.
You pass the test against Tampa Bay and the Jets
on the East Coast trip. Now you're coming home to
play two teams in your division that the idea is
that you should beat both of those teams.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
You should.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Now the pressure is on the Broncos to now fulfill
that and see if they can get.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Those two w's.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
There it is, and the Raiders figure to be without
DeVante Adams.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
He's holding me out to be traded.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
What I will say is that Jacobs, Yeah, well he's gone.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, they got they get some mere white. And what
is Madison?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, Madison's probably the better of those. Yeah, but there, Well,
that's what I was gonna say. You've got physical backs
the next two weeks. You do have strong run games
the next two weeks, you know, and uh, and that's
gonna be a different sort of test than what they've
what they've had so far. Raiders on defense. Uh, we'll
break that down and we come back. I think the
little banged up Crosby, I think he'll be out there,
but we'll see. He's a little banged up. He was
Brockos Country day right here on k take a gam

(18:36):
that for NFL News, Talk Sports five six, six nights
and texts. I got a lot of questions about see
you will get to those top of the hour.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
That's the use.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Uh I was wrong on that one, boy, I thought, Uh,
I read that one entirely wrong. I thought Central Florida
was gonna put it to him on the ground.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
They did not. They thought they were going to get
their run game going with the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah kJ Jefferson and coming a little diet cam there
six five, two hundred and fifty pounds.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Hey, he was was a argusas old boy. Yeah, yeah,
he's he got a little bigger, yeah, thicker than a
snicker man, he's yeah, man, it was. He's a big boy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
They didn't have anything for sea. We'll get to that
top of the hour though. Uh talk with Steve Atwater
Nick Ferguson here. But the Denver Broncos got the Raiders
coming up, and Raiders are trying to trade DeVante Adams
right now. The leaders in the clubhouse, the Saints and
the Jets. As far as that goes, I think it
gets done with the Jets.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
We'll see.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think the Jets want to offload the Hassan Reddick deal,
who's been holding out the entire time.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
So all of a.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Sudden, the Raiders defense, you get Hassan Reddick opposite Max Crosby.
They're on the defensive line. Also, that defensive line starts
to look a little nasty.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
They already nasty. Yeah, I got it, Max Crosby.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, somebody else over on the side now though you
can't triple up Crosby.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, and like.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Doubling him ain't even you know, that's just like trying
to double Aaron Donald. They're doll just laughing at it,
you know, yeah, from well from his couch now, but.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Used to laugh at it.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Uh, you know that that might that might be a
case where that just works out for everybody in terms
of in terms of a trade.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
As it says right now.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Though Adam's is not expected to play against the Broncos
even if he doesn't get dealt before the n Max
Crosby's kind of his status is up in the air.
There's a lot of guys eleven guys did not practice
for the Raiders today, hobbling into Denver banged up.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
This could be a situation.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Where if I'm if I'm the Broncos, I'm looking at
this is Hey, we're gonna we're gonna try and game
plan this to get a big lead, and then we're
gonna start trying and work on stuff that we've been
that we hadn't had a chance to really start working
on in games, because if we can get up and
get a lead to start doing that, we could start
labbing some of this stuff to get some of these
players that are not working and figure out why they're
not working and get them working.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Down the road, the one thing the Broncos can't go
into this week thinking because this is a big week, right,
because this is a rivalry game, it's alumni weekend. You
had a couple of guys going into the Ring of Fame.
Don't let that overhype. And the fact that the Raiders
are banged up not prepare you for the week.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you don't want to overlook this team.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
And the Broncos had played well, especially on the defensive
side of the ball, and we're talking about the Raiders
defense man less.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
They got a lot of players injured. But this is
a game that you can go out and send.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
A message to the rest of the league because there
were not too many people who actually thought the Broncos
were going to finish the first quarter of the season
two and two.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I didn't. I had I didn't won the three. You
have a lot of confidence, huh. I mean I was
a missed field goal from being.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Right wet blanket all right?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Football all right too, I know, I mean I didn't.
It's a rookie quarterback. You know, you have three road games.
I did not expect that to be uh, that to
be something that they came out of you're coming out
of that too. You got to be proud of coming
out of that too. And so you gotta be crowded
coming out of a first quarter of the season with
a rookie quarterback, three games on the road, to of
them on the East Coast.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
You got to be pretty pretty okay with that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
You know.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
The thing that I keep thinking back to was training camp.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, and what I saw on training from both Nicks
and I'm longing to see that on a weekly basis.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
And have we Did we see it last week?

Speaker 6 (22:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think the weather had a lot to do with that.
I think we're going to see it again. I think
we're going to see more of that over these next
what thirteen games? Then we're going to see the first
two games. You're saying upper trajectory, then yeah, listen, I'm
right there, you know with Steve.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
And this is why I think by the NFROS trade
deadline the NFL that the team should be looking to.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Be buyers that would see that. That's the question I've
been asking.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I mean, is this team just a piece or two
kind of away for this quarterback? I think we all
agree the buying should be on the offensive side. I'm
if Kyle Pitts is available, I'm all over it.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
I'm all over and listen, I'm right there. Because all
the draft picks you can not really but I'm not.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Going that far.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
But the reason I say that the Broncos should be
buyers because looking at some of the things that bo
Nicks has done well. We could talk about everything he's
done wrong, but let's took a look at the things
that he's done well. He's shown that he has great
pocket presence, he can run with the ball. He's throwing
touchdowns and hit receivers and targets downfield on the move,

(23:16):
which is very hard for a lot of quarterbacks to do.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Now, you can.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Say some of that has been inaccurate as far as
being in front but behind the receiver. They can fix
that with footwork. But then now we saw against the
Jets when the Broncos needed to run the ball, they
ran the ball well. And it was about time that
Javonte Williams stayed in and there wasn't this rotation of backs.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
He was able to get into a rhythm.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
But the biggest thing is the Broncos defense are playing
the way that they're playing.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
If you're able to go. Go get maybe a Kyle
Pitt or.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Another wide receiver that can boast of that unit. Now
you're really talking about competing maybe with Buffalo in Kansas City.
Not for the Super Bowl, but you can make an
interesting down the stretch.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
I agree with that, but I also think that office
we gotta we've got to be able to put more
points up.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
And I know I.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Made the I made the excuse or I gave justification
because of the rain. I still think that was a
huge factor because both teams had a big problem holding
on to the ball, so we got to put some
points on the board. And cow Pits, hey, he can help.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Listen, man, look, sweet, sweet dear lord, sweet baby Jesus
Talladega Knights eight pound, two ounces.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
You know what I'm talking about. Will Farell plays to
like the baby.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
He only praise to the baby Jesus from the major
and not the adultres. You're eleven power, eight pound, seven ounce,
sweet baby Jesus. I saw with this head coach did
for Jimmy Graham, and I want it for me.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yes, because when you think about the tight ends that
have played for Sean Payton, Jason Witness played for Sean Payton, right.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
You had Jeremy Sharby shocking Jimmy Graham. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
So so this office was built to take advantage of
the middle of the field, where they're not taking advantage
of the middlefield, and based on where the tight ends
or how the tight ends are playing.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Right now, Kyle pits fitting this office? Well, what what's
the deal with Greg Daols? Why? Why is he not
featured enough far? He's just he's not making the most
I mean, like he's been injured for a couple of years,
he's not making the most opportunities. The athleticism is there,
We've seen it.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
The athleticism is there, but he's not blocking the effort
and and the execution aren't there on the blocks and
then you you know, you watch about.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That he's not he's not.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
He doesn't have a natural knack for finding the soft
spot in zone, which the Broncos what three of the
three or four teams they played off the batle zone teams?
He had the Jets playing cover three at Michael McDonald.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
You know the quarters? Uh uh did they play up
there at Tampa?

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Was it was a bit of a mix. And then
of course you know the students played with but he
just he just doesn't have that knack for gliding through
and finding that soft spot and zone, and that's a skill,
like they just said, is his skill.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
I think what's happening Himcgray is a combination of a
couple of things. I think it's confidence, execution, and scheme
right because a guy like that, you have to get
involved with the offense earlier in the down because he
hasn't really had them with success because you talk about
over the past couple of years he's been injured and

(26:05):
this was the year. I know, coming into the off season,
I was like, yes, he's gonna be much better because
I go back to my visual of him at UCLA
Tip Kelly hadn't opened up and he's catching He's running
down a scene that was my visual of Bregdos's.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
He hasn't lived up to that. But get him.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Involved a little earlier in the game plan to kind
of settle him down.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
No, and you know he does have the skill set
to do what you what.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Sean Payton wants to do it tight a movie we saw,
I think we all saw when Peyton used to split
Jimmy Graham out wide. You know, I mean, he's an
off the line why you see him, but you see
him split out wide or moving him around. We wish
haven't really seen that with Dulcis either we haven't seen
him do that or take advantage of those situations. I'm
with you, you got to get his confidence up all
that kind of stuff. But I mean, you know, Kyle

(26:50):
Pitts is a guy you can buy low. Right now,
they're just not using him in Atlanta. He hadn't been
the same since a rookie season. The guy's only twenty
three years old right now. Twenty three years old, Kyle Pitts,
Let's be totally honest. When we watched him at floor.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
I know he had a title being a tight end,
but let's call him what he is. He's a big ass.
Well I received br right, that's what he is. So
bringing the guy in like a Kyle Pitts now evens
the playing field for bowl who show him that he
is elusive and he works better in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Outside the pocket instead of being forced to be a pocket.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
Passers got brothers to the South, call you zeus.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
We got Donald Parham on the practice squad.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
What do you guys think of He's a red zone
weapon though Parm's not a between the twenties tight ends.

Speaker 8 (27:38):
Why not he's not. He's I mean, he's tall, and
he's tall. That's his skill Like he's he's tall, he's
not particularly fast. He doesn't get off the block square. Wait,
first of all, you watched basketball, right.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Why is it hard to guard the Kola Yoic Because.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
He's very athletic and he's tall. Let parm post guys up.
He's in the red zone. That's what I'm saying. Get
him out in the field. You can think of working
minifil You're gonna have run curls in the middlefield. I
don't care. Okay, you still gotta fight around him. I'm
not I'm not opposed to that.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
I'm just saying, like, he's best skill set, he's he's
really built to be a red zone pogo stick kind
of guy.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Guess what, First of all, you got to get there.
You got to get to the red zone to make
him a threat.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I'm looking at right Edwards just leaving now, and I'm
looking at his shirt, the Edwards collection. I'm just just saying,
if you guys got that from the same rack, or
did you steal it off the mannekin of Ryan or
he's here to count right now, and before Steve kills me,
let's go in and check with Dave O'Brien at traffic.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Takes a shotgun, snap now steps over in the pocket,
and we'll be sacked outside the twenty. And that is
John Franklin Myers. We were talking during the break there.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
But the defense and how Vance is uh, he's diloaded
up the Broncos pressure at the highest highest rate.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
It blits at the highest rate in the NFL by far,
it's not even close. And getting home and getting home,
But on tape you do see some guys running for
you a little bit in there.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Would it behoove them to maybe dial back a little
bit of that, maybe maybe show some blitz and then
drop them back a game or two in an effort
to make sure they.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Don't bait used to go after their deal.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
No, what I think it is has been some missed assignments.
But the pressure is getting home. It's doing exactly what
it's designed to do. But when you have guys who
don't know what they're doing or or or they're unsure
prior to the play, that's where the problems come in.
And we've seen a few times guys get home, but man,

(29:34):
if somebody's wild. A couple of passes that Aaron Rodgers threw,
they asked some guys open, but guess what, Aaron Rodger
couldn't see him because pressure was in his face.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
To me, you don't want to stop yourself from being
aggressive because here's what we're seeing. Even with what we're
putting out, with what is happening in the secondary, the
guys up front, they're getting home. They're creating a different
line of scrimmers. So you don't want to take the
edge off of those guys. All you have to do
sit in the meeting room, take all those plays that
were almost plays, show your guys in the secondary, and said, well,

(30:06):
we need to clean this up.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
And your question, the answer to the question is how
do you do it. The way you do it is communicate.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
I want to see every single guy communicating on every
single play. I don't just want guys running and then stopping. No,
I want you talking before the play because when there's
a huddle, you see the personnel coming on, you know
that down and distance. Talk which guy is it closed?

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Right?

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Close? Left? Are we in eleven? Are we in eleven? Okay?

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Are the guys in cut splits inside the numbers or
the outside.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, so you got to talk and I think that
that is a is a big portion of it that
and as that it'll grow as the season goes along.
I mean you'll you'll get you'll get more of that
because I mean if you don't, you'll get toasted. And
then you'll then it will come up on and you'll
definitely get to get to talking to you on that.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
One of the things that I wanted to ask you, Steve.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
The Broncos need to pay John Cooper now like they
made a mistake not already paying him because he continues
to produce and the price tag.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Only goes up. Yeah. Well, I think.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Cooper is going to be a vite apart of this
team for for quite a while. You know, he's a
guy that's a great leader. He works his tailoff, man,
And you want those type of players on your team,
Guys who are going to set a good example. You
know they're going to do everything the right way. And man,
he works and he makes plays. Man, I love this
is the guy from day one, former seven.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Round pick, which, by the way, this defense is doing
this with one first round draft pick on it.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
He has two.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
You have six starters right now who are Day three
or undrafted free agents that are doing that on this defense.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, hey, that's that's special. That's special. You got some
special guys on that team.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I think that that's to me, that's a testament to
the scouting department being able to find some of these
guys and then a testament to I think, and Nick
brings it up it undrafted guys and guys that are
drafted later tend to.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Have a little edge to them because they know they
got a scrap for everything there there isn't a second chance.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
So having that attitude injected into your defense by multiple players,
I feel like that's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
It is a good thing.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
But I will caution what you're saying because you don't
want to do it too prematurely. It's still a little
early in the season, and who's to say that the
Broncos can't do it by either trade deadline or by
the bye week.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
But give a couple of more.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Games to get the sample size and then decide.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
What you want to do. Yeah, I'm with and he's
been available. That's the most important thing. Yeah, that is Steve.
We always appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Got to hit the gotta break time always goes too fast,
But just look forward to getting me a back in
studio here next week and see how many more of
those average collection.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Shirts you've you got stuck back there. Brocco's Country Knight
rolls on it for this so Bronco
