Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right to the right, Ertz McCaffrey, Noah Brown to
the left mclareny. And that's where Jaden Daniels's eyeball and
Jaded Daniels sipping back being pressured.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Jade and Daniels hemmed into.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
The pocket looking for blockers, looking for something. He's got
plenty of time, launches.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Deep pass into the area of the arth and it's
caught by Noah Brown. He was the tip man, and
this place is now gone into Bedlan mold Washington put
the miracle finish the breakup pass into the waiting arms
of Noah Brown. Nobody back there.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Crushing loss, absolutely devastating loss for the Chicago Bears. And
the part that I would have got to you on
that as we're back here at to Sporty Pickle live
half mile north of eight four seventy on Peoria myself,
they Fergus and Shannon scottsac see your smile profit stop by.
There is the how that play got set up, because
there is something very pacific that went wrong in that
(01:01):
play for that to have even occurred. And Noah Brown
catch that tip, just the tip, just to see how
it feels. H and there for the touchdown and trying
to get Nick to Krack and it's not working. I
the main thing is is if you look at the
defensive back, there is a defensive back in his play
who is talking and taunting the crowd the Bears to
(01:23):
be taunting the crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And his guy.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
He's supposed to be the guy who picks up Noah Brown,
and he fails to pick him up, ends up leaving
him open, and it was no Stevenson and he he
treaks the Tyreek Stevenson and he winds up having the
biggest mental gaff that I've seen in quite some time,
taunting the Washington fans, missing his guy, allowing him to
(01:47):
make the hail Mary catch for the touchdown and the win.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, there's so much to break down about this play.
It started with five seconds remaining, about five or six
seconds remaining in the game when they allowed Jayden Dames
to find a receiver running like a.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Five to eight yard out.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
And we practiced that all the time religiously playing for
Mike Shanahan, and especially on those days like that. Thursday
was kind of like a special category, so we did
a lot of those special cat type of plays. But
you get a three by one set and the play
(02:27):
before the hell mary was started it because if Jamee
Danius threw the hell Mary from where he was, he
wasn't gonna have enough armstrengt.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
To kind of get it into the end zone.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
So I thought it was an epic fail by Matt
Eberfrus to even put his team in a position where
they were already backed off.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Let me go even for that one.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Look at where those defensive linemen are lined up.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They're lined up in a contain.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
They're not lined up to rush the pastor what do
you run and contain on a hail mary play?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Well, here's the other thing that I thought was just idiotic.
You rush three, you leave one guy to spot, Yes,
what do you doing contain? What the hell is he
spying for? To me, it's like, okay, well you put
an edge on the defense having guys rush.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
If anything, you.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Kind of want the quarterback to somewhat step up, and
if he steps up, that guy who's the spy you
run and you ken and I mean Daydane Dames is
running around him, like at what point the guy.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Who's being the spy player, he's.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Gonna trigger and go Because even if they threw something
in the middle of the field. Time was gonna run
out before the guy can even run. It's just saying
there was no threat of a stramble in this play whatsoever.
So it's like, what are you spying? Once again, that
would have been one of my questions. Now would ask
Eba Fus why was he not just on the hell Mary?
But the play before was poorly designed and executed, which
(03:50):
allowed Jaydon Dames to even have an opportunity to take
the shot down the field and Tyreek Stevens looking over
at the fans, and the fans are pointing to him
that the players going to go Washington fans, guys need
be that the play is going on. The receivers are
already running towards. He's got three receivers running towards. And
by the time he started paying attention to what's going on,
(04:14):
and then he was late on the play and he
just saw the ball in flight, attempted to jump up
and didn't think about the back catcher because on that
particular play, the way that it works, every receiver needs
to have a defender on it, and most teams, just
like the Bears, wait to allow those receivers to get
down field to try to box him out. No, the
(04:36):
design or the perfect design is to be someone of
a disruption before the guys get down the field. Because
once again, here's what we're dealing with. Time, something that
all of us want but we don't have enough of.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, if I'm running, if I'm running a defense, I'm
calling three deep, man under You know, we got three
guys with heels on the goal line and I've got
man underneath that and we're propressing them. Let him get
off the line. We're not rushing three, rushing four like
we're not.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know why am I giving him the time to
do this? To make the throw out?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
How many times have we seen guys make that play?
And I know that's not a high percentage playing because
it is what it is. It's a hell mary. It
is the last ditch effort to make something happen. But
here's the other thing too, I would have told my
guys in all my years watching and coaching football, I've
never seen passive affair has called on that.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Particular play, have you No?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I mean by I think one time I've ever seen
a flag on that kind of stuff. They basically let
you play.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They let you play.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So with that being in mind, if I got to
box a guy out, I'm going to be in front
of you boxing you out, and if I need to,
I might grab your jersey to pull you down so
you can't I jump that move. But that wasn't executed
the way that it should have been by the players
on the field and knowingly as though before that helme
(05:59):
final Hell.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There was a time out.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yeah, there was a time out, right, so you had
the chance to talk to your players, but you let
the commanders run that speed out for eight yards to
put them closer.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And you knew that was coming because you knew jayde
Nadiers couldn't hit the you.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Know, he almost he barely had the arm strength to
get the second throw to where it was. I mean,
the improbability there is massive on its own, and as
a coach, you should you know you're telling incomfortable on
you to make your make sure your players are dialed
in and know the coaching points coming off of a
time out like that. Meanwhile, you got Tyrie Stevenson camp
down in the end zone dancing around and taunting commander's.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Fan like that guy gets caught tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
If I'm if it's me, Yes, if if if that charge,
if we were on the debts and Bill Parcells was
the head coach, he just fired.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's gonna have to find his way back to Chicago. Yeah,
own own his own die. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well we're not even getting you a ticket, man, No,
we'll mail your check. Yes, don't command key cards already canceled, Yeah, Catcher.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Uber that Yeah, send us overseat.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's like, there's there's no chance, like I like, I
cannot even fathom. Or you have one play and that's
what you're concentrated on. And it's funny to me because
it brings me to another thing that concentrated on. Did
you see Trademon Dicks?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yes, after the game.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The first thing that dude did was go check Twitter
and then come back out and talk to a reporter.
And I to k to be fair, the reporter was wrong.
You know the reporter, you know what was he doing?
He was in man coverage? What did you think he
was doing?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But like, what point do you be saying, like what
what are you guys concentrated on?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Okay, So that that tells you where the headspace is
for certain players in this generation and if it sounds
like I'm about to go with my get off my lawn. Well,
get the hell off my lawn then, because some of
the players in today's game, they're so concerned with me
(07:54):
themselves that they overlooked the whole concept of what team bodies.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And for someone to.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Do what Tyreek Stevenson did is utterly ridiculous. I mean,
they were the best furniture moving in our locker room
for sure. And for Dinks to do what he did.
Why is the first thing you do when you come
off the field, you grab your phone? You check damn
social media? Yeah, well like that team just lost. Yeah,
well that's what I'm getting at.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I mean, you haven't even had time to absorb the loss,
and the first thing you sprinted in there to check social.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I mean that makes absolutely no sense, But that tells
you where some players, not all because there's always an
eighty twenty rule. Some players are because they are so
in love with their followers and what the what people
are saying in favor of them, but more importantly against them.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You need to put all your.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Time and your energy into making your team and yourself
better as a player.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, Like for me, think it's just weird, like watching
both those things. You watch a player with just a
brain lapse at the of a game, and then you
watch another player with what feels like a brain laps
after a game. Like is that what's important to you?
Is seeing what people say about you on Twitter?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What's important to you?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Because I, like, I'll be honest with you, you know,
I see what people say about me on Twitter. Sometimes
you used toll affect me a lot. That doesn't really
affect me anymore, but you USTI toll affect me a lot,
and so like I can understand, Like, if you know
that's gonna affect you, we even do it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, think about it this way.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I mean, there was some coaches at a point in
training camp a couple of years ago who wanted to
put rules or did have rules in place where when
the players win inside of meetings during training camp, when
you're competing for jobs, where the players would have to
put their phones in somewhat of a case to leave
it outside the.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Meeting rooms like in a comedy club.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yes, and then after they get out of the meeting rooms,
now they get their phone backs because they can't freaking
concentrate on what's going on on the film because they're
on ig Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Look at that Instagram model.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, and what a distraction all that kind of stuff
can be as well. One of the other and perhaps
the most perplexing thing that I saw this past weekend,
and I believe, great, you've got the audio, Yeah, I
got it. Go ahead and fire that up for me
real quick, because I'm still like absolutely flabbert flummoxed at
(10:14):
this plan tired. That was a lot of runner up there,
and I did, and I don't think I was gonna
be able to go that next place, so I just, uh,
you know, I just told was saying I didn't need
it a break right there to Anthony Richardson went to
the sideline and pulled himself out of a game because
he was too tired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm tired balls the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I went to the sideline and said, I was. It's
funny because I tweeted this out as it was happening,
because I was watching it live and I could not
believe it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And people are like, you're just he got the wind
knocked out of all this other stuff. No, No, I
didn't didn't get the wind knocked out him at all.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Hey, man, to hell with that fam You know how
difficult it is to get into this league, let alone
stay in this league. And you're talking about being tired. Man,
they had to pull me off the field. Yeah, if
even knowing is though, guys do get tired in games.
You can't say that as a starting quarterback for the Coats,
knowing as though they're looking for an opportunity to stick
(11:11):
Joy Butterflacco in instead of you. And now you decide, well,
I'm tired, Suck it up. Everyone else is sucking it up.
Suck it up and get out there and play your
butt off.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
The coaching staff already wants the other quarterback. They running
that guy because they're being told to run that guy
right now, knowing he's not ready. And then he comes.
You come to the sideline. He's telling me you're you're tired.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man. I don't I don't ever recall seeing something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And I've watched I've seen you know, Lamar Jackson run
it eighteen times in a game. I don't ever remember
seeing a quarterback being like, man, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Tired, and you come.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Well, first of all, the whole thing is even if
you were thinking it, Ben, And if even if that
were the case, you don't tell anyone. Yeah, I don't
come to the miket. I would tire ball.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
No, listen, grand I'm gonna sit out the next segment.
I'm a little tired, bud. No, I'll let you know.
Back there, neck's gonna carry it. Yes.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So for me as a teammate, I have no respect
for that, and profit is giving kind of like the
time out, like yeah, ok yes, yes, I mean okay,
that was the signal.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I missed that signal then.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
But the whole idea is that you can't be in
that situation where you have bailed on your teammates, because
that's how I would look at it. You bailed because
the condition, And I get it. Richardson was heard at
the point and Flacco had to come in, and someone
could use the justification to say, well, maybe he is
not where he needs to be from a condition and standpoint.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
All of that may be true, Ben, but you play quarterback.
Even though you were running quarterback. That is part of
what you do.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You're not boomer size where no one expects you to
run at he's like twenty two years old. Well, for me,
it has nothing to do with the fact of age.
But this is what allowed you to get to this
particular point in the NFL along with your other skill set.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But you are a running quarterback. People expect that you.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You had to know that game with Will Anderson humming
around the edge, you were gonna have to run right right.
So you ran, and then you got tired and you
looked to the sideline and call it t o Come on, man,
what are we doing even? And that's what I like
about guys like TiO because TiO is still out there,
like maybe I think t is like fifty one, fifty two, and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He is in great shape out there running forties. Yeah,
he's still bowling, can probably playing the lid. And Anthony
Risk is talking about he tired. You know what?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Here?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Guess what to get you? A pillow and a blanky, Boddy.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We'll put it down here on the sideline for you
rest while Joe Flacco takes your job.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
If I'm saying, Stigen, you know what you tired? Yeah,
sit right here, sit right here. All the rest that
you need exactly, I'm gonna put the guy on one
in there anyway. Yes, do you need a purple mattress
on the sideline If you need it, we'll put that
out here for you but you gonna sit your behind
right here in the observance.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Wal He's gonna be my favorite napper's favorite napper.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, you know what he said. Do in fact that
he said he was tired. Here's one way that Anthony
Richardson could flip this make some money on the yes
on the pillow circuit.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Have these people go talk to one of those sleep
number yes place places there you go, yeah, you want
Attica sleep that night. I'm Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the
Indianapolis coach. I get sleep all the time because I
get tired.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You go from a rich to hey, I'm rich from
making them endorsement deals for just saying.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's the way you can flip a negative and positive.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
That's what we do on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes, we're here for your marketing services. I don't make
that happen. We come back.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
We got Roby Bean get a join us. This is

Did he get in?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Touchdown Denver.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
When you see this roll by bone Knicks, he was
looking in the end zone, the north end zone. Jaliel
in the flat on the right, and he's side on
that thing.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't think he even looked at Jalil.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Shotgunsnap taking by Shador Tasu's arm rifles down, white, silence,
wide open, hit the four Travis. The gram spends.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Late to the inside. Touchdown, touchdown, Colorado.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Mark Johnson is so great on the call. I always
love the the the enthusiasm Mark Johnson Brigings. I always
bring up that David and Armondola story where he he
did a survey of like all the announcers of various
different sports and cities or whatever, and the softest spoken guy,
the Sacramento King's announcer.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You know, and he's like and there he goes with
the youd lip and leaves the bull in. And then
you've got Mark Johnson, who's a little bit of dougar,
you know, and it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
It's like a nuclear blast in your ears.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Every time we get a chance to Mark, to talk
to Mark's just just absolutely great. We're gonna go right
out to the Kway conspar of the hotline, the own
bring on a good friend. Romey Bean from CBS Rome.
How you doing this evening?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
You know what, I was just agreeing with you so much,
Like there's just nothing better than a Mark Johnson college,
like the Voice of God calling sports.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I need a cooking show.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I need nature documentaries narrated by Mark Johnson. I'm just saying,
like the you know when the Orca is going after
the seal and Mark Johnson.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
On the call right between the eyes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh, I'd paid money for that, so much money for that.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Uh, Rubber's a pretty good weekend for Colorado football.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Again.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You look at the see You Buffs getting it done.
You look at, obviously the Denver Broncos getting it done.
I'll be it against a team that, you know, I
think everyone expected them to get it done. You know,
as we're as we're nearing the midway point in both
these seasons, what is our what is our outlook on
these football teams?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I mean, we are having a good time, guys, we
are having a good time. But I think when you
start with the Bus, I think the Bus have proven
that they are a legitimately good football team. I think
there's a lot of questions with the way the season started.
Is it the same stuff from last year, But there
are legitimate playmakers on this team. They've gotten so much
better in the trenches, and you know they're committing to
(16:54):
the run nim all the things that you want to see.
And I just think obviously Travis Hunter too, it's just
I mean, he's.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Just he's ridiculous, He's spectacular.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
But this team is really showing that they're a lot
more well rounded. I think that people expected them to be,
and it's exciting to see what they could possibly do
the rest of the stretch. Four games to go boll
eligible for the first time in quite some time, and
it gives me a lot of hope. And then you
go to the Broncos and I think this is a
really exciting time for the Broncos, right because, as you mentioned,
(17:24):
it was Carolina. You were supposed to dog lost Carolina.
But the point is, you played the schedule, you're dealt,
and now we get to find out what this team's
really made of because you got three really tough matches,
two specifically on the road to Baltimore to Kansas City.
We're going to find out.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Now, what does this look like?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
What did the Broncos look like against teams that are
really good winning teams, because I guess you know, if
you do look at it right, everybody's been saying the
five teams that they won. I've seen keven, eleven, and
twenty nine record the three teams they'd lost to have
is it thirteen to nine? And then the next couple
teams obviously have very positive records. So I think I
think this is gonna be a really good litmus test
(18:01):
and we're gonna find out what the Broncos are made
of in the next couple of weeks. But they're at
a really good point with this five and three start.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Well, romee, I'm gonna back up for just a little
bit and hint on some things with the Broncos. What
do you think about the postgame comments from Broncos head
coach Sean Payton one when he was talking about his
wide receivers in two talking about his defense.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Which comment specifically, well, when he was.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Talking about the wide receivers idea of you know, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Dropping balls and just possibly.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Making some changes and wi receivers, but just kind of
alluding to that, but more importantly talking about this defense
and the fact that his defense actually gave up some
points in the fourth quarter. What do you think about
those specificallys?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
You know, I thought it was so interesting Nick that
if you listen to that postgame pressure with no knowledge
of what happened to the game, you'd be like, this,
did they lose?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Like that was one of those winning postgame pressures where
he was clearly unhappy and you could have almost assumed
that they lost the game based on what he was
talking about, and he was clearly not happy. Maybe that
was a game he thought they should have won more
soundly than twenty eight to fourteen. You know, obviously the fumble,
he was upset about the touchdown at the end. You know,
(19:20):
I think that I don't know, I don't know if
this is his way of keeping his guys motivated, knowing
that there's really tough tests ahead of them. But it
was interesting that it seems pretty negative about the win. Again,
maybe I think he feels like they should have won
even more soundly than they did, But I do think
that it was an interesting It was interesting that he
(19:42):
even said, too, you know, that the players have to
have higher expectations than I do. And I don't know,
I don't know if that was pointed towards the players.
I don't think it was. But I also thought that
was a bit of an interesting comment. Almost you could
allude as he's saying they don't have a high expectation.
Whether he meant that or or not, but it was
an interest, very interesting from that perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know, it was fascinating to me.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Jacy Horn comes up to Sean Payton accuses him of
running the ball, excuse me, running the score up, and
I just I could not, for the life of me,
fathom that the Broncos only had twenty eight points.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It finished twenty eight fourteen.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The Panthers are calling time out on the Broncos final
offensive drive. You know, the twenty eight points would be
the fewest points the Panthers have allowed almost all season,
dating back to Week two.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I don't to me, I didn't understand that. But you know,
I can understand Jacy's frustration.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I can't. Your team's losing a lot, you're giving up
a lot. I get that, but I didn't understand that.
And I also didn't understand going up to the coach
and saying that Nick. You know, and I discussed that
a little bit earlier. He's got a little bit of
a different opinion than me. But I you know, what
did you think about jac Horn going up there? Did
you think Sean Payton was trying to run it up? I.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
First of all, know I didn't think he was trying
to run it up, because, like you said, they had
twenty eight points. I mean, you want to talk about
running up a score. Let's not forget the Dolphins put
up seventy on the Broncos last year and McDaniels was like,
I'm not going to do the field goal for the record, right,
Like that's running up a score. Twenty eight points is
not running up a score in high school. It's the NFL.
(21:13):
I think that in general, I think it's really hard
to be at Panthers right now a Panthers player. We
were standing at the visitor tunnel waiting to go out
to do TV post game, and those guys walking into
the locker room, I mean it was this dead, sullen silence.
You can just tell they're so frustrated. That's a really,
really hard spot to be in. And so I do
(21:34):
think it was frustration boiling over for a lot of
those guys from how the season is going. But I
just I do think it's interesting too to come up
to a head coach as a player and say that
I know that his dad played for Sean, but I
don't really think that has one thing to do with
it or another. I don't think it was running up
a score. I really don't. And I think with those
(21:54):
trick plays and stuff, I think there's a couple of
you for ways for you to look at it. Maybe
Shawn's running those because he wants Baltimore Kansas City Now
to be on their toes a little bit more, and hey,
you got to prepare for this type of a thing.
I think it could have been that, But I did
not think it was running up the score at all.
And I did kind of think it was funny that
Jase Horn got so upset about it.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Listen, I said it last night. We're trying to finish
the game the right way. We're not trying to run
up the score on anyone. It's the National Football League.
Have been any games with the twenty eight point lead
in the fourth quarter and loss, So we're trying to finish.
The Burton throw from Sutton is trying to continue a
drive play better.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Well, even with those comments right there, I mean, I'm
with coach and the concept of playing better because I
pointed out a couple of things to ben defensively that
the Carolina Panthers couldn't really do, and they would have
done better if they communicate it. But from your standpoint,
when you look at the Broncos defense, and more specifically
(22:55):
a guy by the name of Nick Benito, how impressive
have you been with him best far this season?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I mean, this has been I've been incredibly impressed, obviously,
right six straight games with the fact he tied him.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Now to von Miller.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I mean, you're in the most elite of companies. But
I think with Nick there was a lot of expectations.
There's questions about the pass rush rushroom into this room
good enough, do they have enough firepower? And I think
the emergence of Nick, people almost were hoping that was
gonna come last year, and so to see where he's
come about, you know, he's become so fast and shifty,
(23:29):
and I'm very, very impressed with his play and how
he's playing.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
And you know, it's so funny in this league because
you can jump to conclusions really quickly, and I feel
like a lot of Broncos fans kind of were out
on Nick Bonito a little bit last year, like you
expect them to just get going so fast, So to
see what he's done and to know that he's so
young in his career, I think he's incredibly exciting the
production he's creating.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
And I also think you've got to give a lot
of credit right to Zach Allen. When he's bringing so
much pressure up the middle, it's freeing up these guys
on the edge a little bit more too, and so
that part is great to see. Just the defense in
general that the Friends of Front is just lethal. They
can tell they're having a good time. But also really
impressed with Jonathan Cooper. He's been really really aggressive as well.
And another guy that you kind of was hoping was
(24:16):
going to elevate some a guy that some people were
saying was just a guy, and he's certainly leveled up
tremendously this year. So it really is great to see
that entire room really start to make a name for themselves.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, yeah, I'll speaking of.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
That entire room, I mean, you've got what looks like
an odd man out a trade deadline approaching here. We've
heard the rumors about the team, you know, potentially trying
to shop Greg Dulci and Baron Browning.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Where do you come down on those two?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
You know what's so crazy about Baron is you would
have never thought that Baron Browning would be the odd
man out in that room. He's kind of always been
the leader is that room. Injury is tough, you know,
and you get maybe a little bit wally pipped. But
when you look at it with him, him and Cooper,
I believe are both coming up right on contract. Cooper
so you can only keep one. Cooper might be a
(25:03):
little bit cheaper, honestly, but I do think that Baron's
a guy that could garner interests from other teams in
the league as well. Had a little bit of injury
history which has certainly hampered him. But it's just it
is a little bit crazy because I never thought Baron
would be the odd man out, and I think he's
a great, great leader in that room. But if you
could get some value for him, I think that'd be great.
(25:25):
When it comes to Greg Dulca, I don't know what
value you get for him.
Speaker 10 (25:27):
I think they do need to get to part rays
with him because this he's been a healthy scratch yet again,
and yet another game on Sunday, and it's unfortunate, another
guy that had so much potential but.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
Has certainly not lived up to it lived up to
it also has some injury, a lot of injury history actually,
But yeah, I think Dulpha has just kind of been
a real big disappointment. But you were at the point
where just get trying get something for him. Again, I'm
not quite sure how much you could get for him,
but I would certainly shop him because you got some
other tight ends that as we saw yesterday tight End
(25:59):
National tight End Day, we're stepping up and Dultich unfortunately
has really done nothing for this team in quite a
few years.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Well to see you Buffs have definitely done something for Denver, Colorado,
but more importantly Boulder. But from your standpoint, with the
team now being six and two only with four games remaining,
and the team right now is ranked twenty third, what
does that mean for the team you think now, not
just being the fact that you have six wins, but
(26:29):
you're finally ranked in the top twenty five.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Yeah, I think it's great. I think it's now you
see how they handle that next level of success because
this is a team that last year to this year,
you can see the mentality the focus is very different,
and they liked being slept on this year that nobody
was talking or not nobody're talking about them. They weren't
talking about them as much. They weren't getting ranked. You know,
(26:54):
there was a few weeks where they thought maybe they
should get ranked, and I think they really embraced that,
like all right, you know, last year is so different
from this year and people are sleeping on us. So
now we see how they handle that layer of success
where you are ranked and where you have a lot
on the line. Because now you've achieved something in a
bowl game, which was certainly at least one benchmark, that
(27:14):
was a really big deal for this team. Now you
got four games left. How do you handle that success?
How you you're a little bit of an outside shot
at the big twelve, you know, championship. But if you
went out, if you get a little help from teams.
You got to get help from other teams. But can
you do your job and do what you're supposed to
do and see if things fallow your way. I think
(27:36):
it's going to be really interesting to see. I think
that they'll be fine. This team has a really different
mentality than they did last year, and they're really focused
and squared in, squared away, squared in whatever on winning.
So I don't think getting ranked twenty third is going
to kind of mess with any of that by any means,
but it is going to be a great test to
see how they handle that moving forward.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Talbould Roby Bee from CBS.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, well, it's nice to end up talking about Colorado
for something other than off the field. You know, they're
talking about on the field, the wins and all that
kind of stuff. Broncos have a tough three game stretch
coming up. You've got two road games Baltimore, Kansas City,
got a home game against the Falcons. Teams sitting right
now at you know, at five wins.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Where are they going to be after those three games?
Speaker 7 (28:19):
This is going to be great, great tests, Like we said,
from them. I think they can match up pretty fairly
well against Atlanta. I know that's the third one we're
talking about, but these top two, I think it's just
again it's going to be really interesting. Obviously with the
Broncos defense has been fantastic. Now you get Lamar and
Dereck Henry. I mean, that feels like the ultimate test
(28:41):
to see how they handle that. I think it's gonna
be a really challenging environment. Kansas City is a team
that this is so hard because you know, the Mahomes
thus is the worst start of his career. YadA YadA, yaddy. Cool,
they're seven it out, but they really haven't been scoring
a ton of points. So I think that that one
is going to be really interesting in terms of a
battle of defense. In the City's defense has been really solid.
(29:02):
But I think if the Broncos can steal one of
those two on the road, they have done really well
on the road. I think that would it would be tremendous,
tremendous for them. There's an absolute possibility they lose those
next two. But even if you do, you set yourself
up now you've done your job to this point that
say you drop both on the road, and then you're
five hundred and you could still really squarely be in
(29:24):
the sick of things. Best case scenario you went in
two or three. Worst case I think they I think
they at least beat Atlanta one, well, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
One and two in there. That sounds fair.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
But it's going to be very interesting to see what
the next three games light look like for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But the one thing that could help them out is
Courtland Sunnon.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
A week ago, Courtland Sun had no yards, no receptions,
but one hundred yards on Sunday. Do you expect this
trend to continue? With Corley said being more involved with
the offense.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
I mean, I certainly hope so.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It was.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
And you know, it wasn't just that Saints game. Several
games leading up to that, it was we didn't see
court get involved till the second quarter, the third quarter.
I think a lot of people were clamoring to just
get him involved early, and so it was so great
to see him get involved, be involved early in the
game plan from the jump. And so I do certainly
(30:27):
hope that continues.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
For it, your wide.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Receiver one should be making plays like that, should be
that involved in the game plan. And when I look
at this Carolina game, and I know, you know, Carolina's
defense wasn't good, Dad Law, but I think that this
was great for the confidence that this team could have
in the passing game. I talked to Adam Feltman in
the locker room last night and he said that he
(30:49):
feels like this team is still figuring out their offensive identity,
but a game like this where they're able to sling
it around, makes them kind of settle in a little
bit more into wanting feeling confident about making those big
plays and having a lot of big plays. And he
even said he didn't expect them maybe to be flinging
around that much as much as we saw in the
Panthers game, but it was something that he really liked
(31:11):
to see and that obviously they all said off of.
So I hope that we continue to see they can
build off what they did, especially in the past game,
specifically in that Panthers game. Again, we're going to be
seeing much tougher defenses, but can you elevate and can
you lean on a guy like Courtland especially early in games?
But I feel like it's really important early in games
to get Courtland involved and kind of get them momentum
(31:32):
going well.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Roby, we always appreciate the time, and yeah, Brocko is
going to need to throw the ball against the Baltimore Ravens.
Their secondary not very good, you know, and they're going
to need to be able to do that to win.
We always appreciate the time, though, All right, take care
romy Vian CBS.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We come back, We get back into this.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Broccolds Panthers matchup with Thick ferguson this he's watching the Yankees, who,
by the way, stanton to slower the molasses in January
should have scored that run. We'll get into that in
a minute. Brocles Country, not Kawa.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Right between the eyes
All right to the right, Ertz McCaffrey, Noah Brown to
the left mclareny. And that's where Jaden Daniels's eyeball and
Jaded Daniels sipping back being pressured.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Jade and Daniels hemmed into.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
The pocket looking for blockers, looking for something. He's got
plenty of time, launches.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Deep pass into the area of the arth and it's
caught by Noah Brown. He was the tip man, and
this place is now gone into Bedlan mold Washington put
the miracle finish the breakup pass into the waiting arms
of Noah Brown. Nobody back there.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Crushing loss, absolutely devastating loss for the Chicago Bears. And
the part that I would have got to you on
that as we're back here at to Sporty Pickle live
half mile north of eight four seventy on Peoria myself,
they Fergus and Shannon scottsac see your smile profit stop by.
There is the how that play got set up, because
there is something very pacific that went wrong in that
(01:01):
play for that to have even occurred. And Noah Brown
catch that tip, just the tip, just to see how
it feels. H and there for the touchdown and trying
to get Nick to Krack and it's not working. I
the main thing is is if you look at the
defensive back, there is a defensive back in his play
who is talking and taunting the crowd the Bears to
(01:23):
be taunting the crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And his guy.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
He's supposed to be the guy who picks up Noah Brown,
and he fails to pick him up, ends up leaving
him open, and it was no Stevenson and he he
treaks the Tyreek Stevenson and he winds up having the
biggest mental gaff that I've seen in quite some time,
taunting the Washington fans, missing his guy, allowing him to
(01:47):
make the hail Mary catch for the touchdown and the win.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, there's so much to break down about this play.
It started with five seconds remaining, about five or six
seconds remaining in the game when they allowed Jayden Dames
to find a receiver running like a.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Five to eight yard out.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
And we practiced that all the time religiously playing for
Mike Shanahan, and especially on those days like that. Thursday
was kind of like a special category, so we did
a lot of those special cat type of plays. But
you get a three by one set and the play
(02:27):
before the hell mary was started it because if Jamee
Danius threw the hell Mary from where he was, he
wasn't gonna have enough armstrengt.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
To kind of get it into the end zone.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
So I thought it was an epic fail by Matt
Eberfrus to even put his team in a position where
they were already backed off.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Let me go even for that one.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Look at where those defensive linemen are lined up.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
They're lined up in a contain.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
They're not lined up to rush the pastor what do
you run and contain on a hail mary play?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Well, here's the other thing that I thought was just idiotic.
You rush three, you leave one guy to spot, Yes,
what do you doing contain? What the hell is he
spying for? To me, it's like, okay, well you put
an edge on the defense having guys rush.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
If anything, you.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Kind of want the quarterback to somewhat step up, and
if he steps up, that guy who's the spy you
run and you ken and I mean Daydane Dames is
running around him, like at what point the guy.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Who's being the spy player, he's.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Gonna trigger and go Because even if they threw something
in the middle of the field. Time was gonna run
out before the guy can even run. It's just saying
there was no threat of a stramble in this play whatsoever.
So it's like, what are you spying? Once again, that
would have been one of my questions. Now would ask
Eba Fus why was he not just on the hell Mary?
But the play before was poorly designed and executed, which
(03:50):
allowed Jaydon Dames to even have an opportunity to take
the shot down the field and Tyreek Stevens looking over
at the fans, and the fans are pointing to him
that the players going to go Washington fans, guys need
be that the play is going on. The receivers are
already running towards. He's got three receivers running towards. And
by the time he started paying attention to what's going on,
(04:14):
and then he was late on the play and he
just saw the ball in flight, attempted to jump up
and didn't think about the back catcher because on that
particular play, the way that it works, every receiver needs
to have a defender on it, and most teams, just
like the Bears, wait to allow those receivers to get
down field to try to box him out. No, the
(04:36):
design or the perfect design is to be someone of
a disruption before the guys get down the field. Because
once again, here's what we're dealing with. Time, something that
all of us want but we don't have enough of.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, if I'm running, if I'm running a defense, I'm
calling three deep, man under You know, we got three
guys with heels on the goal line and I've got
man underneath that and we're propressing them. Let him get
off the line. We're not rushing three, rushing four like
we're not.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You know why am I giving him the time to
do this? To make the throw out?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
How many times have we seen guys make that play?
And I know that's not a high percentage playing because
it is what it is. It's a hell mary. It
is the last ditch effort to make something happen. But
here's the other thing too, I would have told my
guys in all my years watching and coaching football, I've
never seen passive affair has called on that.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Particular play, have you No?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I mean by I think one time I've ever seen
a flag on that kind of stuff. They basically let
you play.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They let you play.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So with that being in mind, if I got to
box a guy out, I'm going to be in front
of you boxing you out, and if I need to,
I might grab your jersey to pull you down so
you can't I jump that move. But that wasn't executed
the way that it should have been by the players
on the field and knowingly as though before that helme
(05:59):
final Hell.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There was a time out.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Yeah, there was a time out, right, so you had
the chance to talk to your players, but you let
the commanders run that speed out for eight yards to
put them closer.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And you knew that was coming because you knew jayde
Nadiers couldn't hit the you.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Know, he almost he barely had the arm strength to
get the second throw to where it was. I mean,
the improbability there is massive on its own, and as
a coach, you should you know you're telling incomfortable on
you to make your make sure your players are dialed
in and know the coaching points coming off of a
time out like that. Meanwhile, you got Tyrie Stevenson camp
down in the end zone dancing around and taunting commander's.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Fan like that guy gets caught tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
If I'm if it's me, Yes, if if if that charge,
if we were on the debts and Bill Parcells was
the head coach, he just fired.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's gonna have to find his way back to Chicago. Yeah,
own own his own die. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Well we're not even getting you a ticket, man, No,
we'll mail your check. Yes, don't command key cards already canceled, Yeah, Catcher.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Uber that Yeah, send us overseat.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's like, there's there's no chance, like I like, I
cannot even fathom. Or you have one play and that's
what you're concentrated on. And it's funny to me because
it brings me to another thing that concentrated on. Did
you see Trademon Dicks?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yes, after the game.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The first thing that dude did was go check Twitter
and then come back out and talk to a reporter.
And I to k to be fair, the reporter was wrong.
You know the reporter, you know what was he doing?
He was in man coverage? What did you think he
was doing?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
But like, what point do you be saying, like what
what are you guys concentrated on?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Okay, So that that tells you where the headspace is
for certain players in this generation and if it sounds
like I'm about to go with my get off my lawn. Well,
get the hell off my lawn then, because some of
the players in today's game, they're so concerned with me
(07:54):
themselves that they overlooked the whole concept of what team bodies.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And for someone to.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Do what Tyreek Stevenson did is utterly ridiculous. I mean,
they were the best furniture moving in our locker room
for sure. And for Dinks to do what he did.
Why is the first thing you do when you come
off the field, you grab your phone? You check damn
social media? Yeah, well like that team just lost. Yeah,
well that's what I'm getting at.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I mean, you haven't even had time to absorb the loss,
and the first thing you sprinted in there to check social.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I mean that makes absolutely no sense, But that tells
you where some players, not all because there's always an
eighty twenty rule. Some players are because they are so
in love with their followers and what the what people
are saying in favor of them, but more importantly against them.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You need to put all your.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Time and your energy into making your team and yourself
better as a player.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, Like for me, think it's just weird, like watching
both those things. You watch a player with just a
brain lapse at the of a game, and then you
watch another player with what feels like a brain laps
after a game. Like is that what's important to you?
Is seeing what people say about you on Twitter?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What's important to you?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Because I, like, I'll be honest with you, you know,
I see what people say about me on Twitter. Sometimes
you used toll affect me a lot. That doesn't really
affect me anymore, but you USTI toll affect me a lot,
and so like I can understand, Like, if you know
that's gonna affect you, we even do it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, think about it this way.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I mean, there was some coaches at a point in
training camp a couple of years ago who wanted to
put rules or did have rules in place where when
the players win inside of meetings during training camp, when
you're competing for jobs, where the players would have to
put their phones in somewhat of a case to leave
it outside the.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Meeting rooms like in a comedy club.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yes, and then after they get out of the meeting rooms,
now they get their phone backs because they can't freaking
concentrate on what's going on on the film because they're
on ig Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Look at that Instagram model.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, and what a distraction all that kind of stuff
can be as well. One of the other and perhaps
the most perplexing thing that I saw this past weekend,
and I believe, great, you've got the audio, Yeah, I
got it. Go ahead and fire that up for me
real quick, because I'm still like absolutely flabbert flummoxed at
(10:14):
this plan tired. That was a lot of runner up there,
and I did, and I don't think I was gonna
be able to go that next place, so I just, uh,
you know, I just told was saying I didn't need
it a break right there to Anthony Richardson went to
the sideline and pulled himself out of a game because
he was too tired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm tired balls the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I went to the sideline and said, I was. It's
funny because I tweeted this out as it was happening,
because I was watching it live and I could not
believe it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And people are like, you're just he got the wind
knocked out of all this other stuff. No, No, I
didn't didn't get the wind knocked out him at all.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Hey, man, to hell with that fam You know how
difficult it is to get into this league, let alone
stay in this league. And you're talking about being tired. Man,
they had to pull me off the field. Yeah, if
even knowing is though, guys do get tired in games.
You can't say that as a starting quarterback for the Coats,
knowing as though they're looking for an opportunity to stick
(11:11):
Joy Butterflacco in instead of you. And now you decide, well,
I'm tired, Suck it up. Everyone else is sucking it up.
Suck it up and get out there and play your
butt off.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
The coaching staff already wants the other quarterback. They running
that guy because they're being told to run that guy
right now, knowing he's not ready. And then he comes.
You come to the sideline. He's telling me you're you're tired.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man. I don't I don't ever recall seeing something like that.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And I've watched I've seen you know, Lamar Jackson run
it eighteen times in a game. I don't ever remember
seeing a quarterback being like, man, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Tired, and you come.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Well, first of all, the whole thing is even if
you were thinking it, Ben, And if even if that
were the case, you don't tell anyone. Yeah, I don't
come to the miket. I would tire ball.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
No, listen, grand I'm gonna sit out the next segment.
I'm a little tired, bud. No, I'll let you know.
Back there, neck's gonna carry it. Yes.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So for me as a teammate, I have no respect
for that, and profit is giving kind of like the
time out, like yeah, ok yes, yes, I mean okay,
that was the signal.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I missed that signal then.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
But the whole idea is that you can't be in
that situation where you have bailed on your teammates, because
that's how I would look at it. You bailed because
the condition, And I get it. Richardson was heard at
the point and Flacco had to come in, and someone
could use the justification to say, well, maybe he is
not where he needs to be from a condition and standpoint.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
All of that may be true, Ben, but you play quarterback.
Even though you were running quarterback. That is part of
what you do.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You're not boomer size where no one expects you to
run at he's like twenty two years old. Well, for me,
it has nothing to do with the fact of age.
But this is what allowed you to get to this
particular point in the NFL along with your other skill set.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But you are a running quarterback. People expect that you.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
You had to know that game with Will Anderson humming
around the edge, you were gonna have to run right right.
So you ran, and then you got tired and you
looked to the sideline and call it t o Come on, man,
what are we doing even? And that's what I like
about guys like TiO because TiO is still out there,
like maybe I think t is like fifty one, fifty two, and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He is in great shape out there running forties. Yeah,
he's still bowling, can probably playing the lid. And Anthony
Risk is talking about he tired. You know what?
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Here?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Guess what to get you? A pillow and a blanky, Boddy.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
We'll put it down here on the sideline for you
rest while Joe Flacco takes your job.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
If I'm saying, Stigen, you know what you tired? Yeah,
sit right here, sit right here. All the rest that
you need exactly, I'm gonna put the guy on one
in there anyway. Yes, do you need a purple mattress
on the sideline If you need it, we'll put that
out here for you but you gonna sit your behind
right here in the observance.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Wal He's gonna be my favorite napper's favorite napper.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, you know what he said. Do in fact that
he said he was tired. Here's one way that Anthony
Richardson could flip this make some money on the yes
on the pillow circuit.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Have these people go talk to one of those sleep
number yes place places there you go, yeah, you want
Attica sleep that night. I'm Anthony Richardson, quarterback for the
Indianapolis coach. I get sleep all the time because I
get tired.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You go from a rich to hey, I'm rich from
making them endorsement deals for just saying.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's the way you can flip a negative and positive.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
That's what we do on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes, we're here for your marketing services. I don't make
that happen. We come back.
Speaker 4 (14:35):

When you see this roll by bone Knicks, he was
looking in the end zone, the north end zone. Jaliel
in the flat on the right, and he's side on

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I don't think he even looked at Jalil.

bring up that David and Armondola story where he he
did a survey of like all the announcers of various
different sports and cities or whatever, and the softest spoken guy,
the Sacramento King's announcer.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
You know, and he's like and there he goes with
the youd lip and leaves the bull in. And then
you've got Mark Johnson, who's a little bit of dougar,
you know, and it's it's.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
It's like a nuclear blast in your ears.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Every time we get a chance to Mark, to talk
to Mark's just just absolutely great. We're gonna go right
out to the Kway conspar of the hotline, the own
bring on a good friend. Romey Bean from CBS Rome.
How you doing this evening?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
You know what, I was just agreeing with you so much,
Like there's just nothing better than a Mark Johnson college,
like the Voice of God calling sports.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I need a cooking show.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I need nature documentaries narrated by Mark Johnson. I'm just saying,
like the you know when the Orca is going after
the seal and Mark Johnson.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
On the call right between the eyes.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh, I'd paid money for that, so much money for that.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Uh, Rubber's a pretty good weekend for Colorado football.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Again.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You look at the see You Buffs getting it done.
You look at, obviously the Denver Broncos getting it done.
I'll be it against a team that, you know, I
think everyone expected them to get it done. You know,
as we're as we're nearing the midway point in both
these seasons, what is our what is our outlook on
these football teams?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I mean, we are having a good time, guys, we
are having a good time. But I think when you
start with the Bus, I think the Bus have proven
that they are a legitimately good football team. I think
there's a lot of questions with the way the season started.
Is it the same stuff from last year, But there
are legitimate playmakers on this team. They've gotten so much
better in the trenches, and you know they're committing to
(16:54):
the run nim all the things that you want to see.
And I just think obviously Travis Hunter too, it's just
I mean, he's.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Just he's ridiculous, He's spectacular.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
But this team is really showing that they're a lot
more well rounded. I think that people expected them to be,
and it's exciting to see what they could possibly do
the rest of the stretch. Four games to go boll
eligible for the first time in quite some time, and
it gives me a lot of hope. And then you
go to the Broncos and I think this is a
really exciting time for the Broncos, right because, as you mentioned,
(17:24):
it was Carolina. You were supposed to dog lost Carolina.
But the point is, you played the schedule, you're dealt,
and now we get to find out what this team's
really made of because you got three really tough matches,
two specifically on the road to Baltimore to Kansas City.
We're going to find out.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Now, what does this look like?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
What did the Broncos look like against teams that are
really good winning teams, because I guess you know, if
you do look at it right, everybody's been saying the
five teams that they won. I've seen keven, eleven, and
twenty nine record the three teams they'd lost to have
is it thirteen to nine? And then the next couple
teams obviously have very positive records. So I think I
think this is gonna be a really good litmus test
(18:01):
and we're gonna find out what the Broncos are made
of in the next couple of weeks. But they're at
a really good point with this five and three start.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Well, romee, I'm gonna back up for just a little
bit and hint on some things with the Broncos. What
do you think about the postgame comments from Broncos head
coach Sean Payton one when he was talking about his
wide receivers in two talking about his defense.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Which comment specifically, well, when he was.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Talking about the wide receivers idea of you know, guys.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Dropping balls and just possibly.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Making some changes and wi receivers, but just kind of
alluding to that, but more importantly talking about this defense
and the fact that his defense actually gave up some
points in the fourth quarter. What do you think about
those specificallys?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
You know, I thought it was so interesting Nick that
if you listen to that postgame pressure with no knowledge
of what happened to the game, you'd be like, this,
did they lose?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Right?
Speaker 7 (18:57):
Like that was one of those winning postgame pressures where
he was clearly unhappy and you could have almost assumed
that they lost the game based on what he was
talking about, and he was clearly not happy. Maybe that
was a game he thought they should have won more
soundly than twenty eight to fourteen. You know, obviously the fumble,
he was upset about the touchdown at the end. You know,
(19:20):
I think that I don't know, I don't know if
this is his way of keeping his guys motivated, knowing
that there's really tough tests ahead of them. But it
was interesting that it seems pretty negative about the win. Again,
maybe I think he feels like they should have won
even more soundly than they did, But I do think
that it was an interesting It was interesting that he
(19:42):
even said, too, you know, that the players have to
have higher expectations than I do. And I don't know,
I don't know if that was pointed towards the players.
I don't think it was. But I also thought that
was a bit of an interesting comment. Almost you could
allude as he's saying they don't have a high expectation.
Whether he meant that or or not, but it was
an interest, very interesting from that perspective.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know, it was fascinating to me.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Jacy Horn comes up to Sean Payton accuses him of
running the ball, excuse me, running the score up, and
I just I could not, for the life of me,
fathom that the Broncos only had twenty eight points.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It finished twenty eight fourteen.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The Panthers are calling time out on the Broncos final
offensive drive. You know, the twenty eight points would be
the fewest points the Panthers have allowed almost all season,
dating back to Week two.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I don't to me, I didn't understand that. But you know,
I can understand Jacy's frustration.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I can't. Your team's losing a lot, you're giving up
a lot. I get that, but I didn't understand that.
And I also didn't understand going up to the coach
and saying that Nick. You know, and I discussed that
a little bit earlier. He's got a little bit of
a different opinion than me. But I you know, what
did you think about jac Horn going up there? Did
you think Sean Payton was trying to run it up? I.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
First of all, know I didn't think he was trying
to run it up, because, like you said, they had
twenty eight points. I mean, you want to talk about
running up a score. Let's not forget the Dolphins put
up seventy on the Broncos last year and McDaniels was like,
I'm not going to do the field goal for the record, right,
Like that's running up a score. Twenty eight points is
not running up a score in high school. It's the NFL.
(21:13):
I think that in general, I think it's really hard
to be at Panthers right now a Panthers player. We
were standing at the visitor tunnel waiting to go out
to do TV post game, and those guys walking into
the locker room, I mean it was this dead, sullen silence.
You can just tell they're so frustrated. That's a really,
really hard spot to be in. And so I do
(21:34):
think it was frustration boiling over for a lot of
those guys from how the season is going. But I
just I do think it's interesting too to come up
to a head coach as a player and say that
I know that his dad played for Sean, but I
don't really think that has one thing to do with
it or another. I don't think it was running up
a score. I really don't. And I think with those
(21:54):
trick plays and stuff, I think there's a couple of
you for ways for you to look at it. Maybe
Shawn's running those because he wants Baltimore Kansas City Now
to be on their toes a little bit more, and hey,
you got to prepare for this type of a thing.
I think it could have been that, But I did
not think it was running up the score at all.
And I did kind of think it was funny that
Jase Horn got so upset about it.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Listen, I said it last night. We're trying to finish
the game the right way. We're not trying to run
up the score on anyone. It's the National Football League.
Have been any games with the twenty eight point lead
in the fourth quarter and loss, So we're trying to finish.
The Burton throw from Sutton is trying to continue a
drive play better.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Well, even with those comments right there, I mean, I'm
with coach and the concept of playing better because I
pointed out a couple of things to ben defensively that
the Carolina Panthers couldn't really do, and they would have
done better if they communicate it. But from your standpoint,
when you look at the Broncos defense, and more specifically
(22:55):
a guy by the name of Nick Benito, how impressive
have you been with him best far this season?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
I mean, this has been I've been incredibly impressed, obviously,
right six straight games with the fact he tied him.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Now to von Miller.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I mean, you're in the most elite of companies. But
I think with Nick there was a lot of expectations.
There's questions about the pass rush rushroom into this room
good enough, do they have enough firepower? And I think
the emergence of Nick, people almost were hoping that was
gonna come last year, and so to see where he's
come about, you know, he's become so fast and shifty,
(23:29):
and I'm very, very impressed with his play and how
he's playing.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
And you know, it's so funny in this league because
you can jump to conclusions really quickly, and I feel
like a lot of Broncos fans kind of were out
on Nick Bonito a little bit last year, like you
expect them to just get going so fast, So to
see what he's done and to know that he's so
young in his career, I think he's incredibly exciting the
production he's creating.
Speaker 7 (23:54):
And I also think you've got to give a lot
of credit right to Zach Allen. When he's bringing so
much pressure up the middle, it's freeing up these guys
on the edge a little bit more too, and so
that part is great to see. Just the defense in
general that the Friends of Front is just lethal. They
can tell they're having a good time. But also really
impressed with Jonathan Cooper. He's been really really aggressive as well.
And another guy that you kind of was hoping was
(24:16):
going to elevate some a guy that some people were
saying was just a guy, and he's certainly leveled up
tremendously this year. So it really is great to see
that entire room really start to make a name for themselves.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Well, yeah, I'll speaking of.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
That entire room, I mean, you've got what looks like
an odd man out a trade deadline approaching here. We've
heard the rumors about the team, you know, potentially trying
to shop Greg Dulci and Baron Browning.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Where do you come down on those two?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
You know what's so crazy about Baron is you would
have never thought that Baron Browning would be the odd
man out in that room. He's kind of always been
the leader is that room. Injury is tough, you know,
and you get maybe a little bit wally pipped. But
when you look at it with him, him and Cooper,
I believe are both coming up right on contract. Cooper
so you can only keep one. Cooper might be a
(25:03):
little bit cheaper, honestly, but I do think that Baron's
a guy that could garner interests from other teams in
the league as well. Had a little bit of injury
history which has certainly hampered him. But it's just it
is a little bit crazy because I never thought Baron
would be the odd man out, and I think he's
a great, great leader in that room. But if you
could get some value for him, I think that'd be great.
(25:25):
When it comes to Greg Dulca, I don't know what
value you get for him.
Speaker 10 (25:27):
I think they do need to get to part rays
with him because this he's been a healthy scratch yet again,
and yet another game on Sunday, and it's unfortunate, another
guy that had so much potential but.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
Has certainly not lived up to it lived up to
it also has some injury, a lot of injury history actually,
But yeah, I think Dulpha has just kind of been
a real big disappointment. But you were at the point
where just get trying get something for him. Again, I'm
not quite sure how much you could get for him,
but I would certainly shop him because you got some
other tight ends that as we saw yesterday tight End
(25:59):
National tight End Day, we're stepping up and Dultich unfortunately
has really done nothing for this team in quite a
few years.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Well to see you Buffs have definitely done something for Denver, Colorado,
but more importantly Boulder. But from your standpoint, with the
team now being six and two only with four games remaining,
and the team right now is ranked twenty third, what
does that mean for the team you think now, not
just being the fact that you have six wins, but
(26:29):
you're finally ranked in the top twenty five.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Yeah, I think it's great. I think it's now you
see how they handle that next level of success because
this is a team that last year to this year,
you can see the mentality the focus is very different,
and they liked being slept on this year that nobody
was talking or not nobody're talking about them. They weren't
talking about them as much. They weren't getting ranked. You know,
(26:54):
there was a few weeks where they thought maybe they
should get ranked, and I think they really embraced that,
like all right, you know, last year is so different
from this year and people are sleeping on us. So
now we see how they handle that layer of success
where you are ranked and where you have a lot
on the line. Because now you've achieved something in a
bowl game, which was certainly at least one benchmark, that
(27:14):
was a really big deal for this team. Now you
got four games left. How do you handle that success?
How you you're a little bit of an outside shot
at the big twelve, you know, championship. But if you
went out, if you get a little help from teams.
You got to get help from other teams. But can
you do your job and do what you're supposed to
do and see if things fallow your way. I think
(27:36):
it's going to be really interesting to see. I think
that they'll be fine. This team has a really different
mentality than they did last year, and they're really focused
and squared in, squared away, squared in whatever on winning.
So I don't think getting ranked twenty third is going
to kind of mess with any of that by any means,
but it is going to be a great test to
see how they handle that moving forward.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Talbould Roby Bee from CBS.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, well, it's nice to end up talking about Colorado
for something other than off the field. You know, they're
talking about on the field, the wins and all that
kind of stuff. Broncos have a tough three game stretch
coming up. You've got two road games Baltimore, Kansas City,
got a home game against the Falcons. Teams sitting right
now at you know, at five wins.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Where are they going to be after those three games?
Speaker 7 (28:19):
This is going to be great, great tests, Like we said,
from them. I think they can match up pretty fairly
well against Atlanta. I know that's the third one we're
talking about, but these top two, I think it's just
again it's going to be really interesting. Obviously with the
Broncos defense has been fantastic. Now you get Lamar and
Dereck Henry. I mean, that feels like the ultimate test
(28:41):
to see how they handle that. I think it's gonna
be a really challenging environment. Kansas City is a team
that this is so hard because you know, the Mahomes
thus is the worst start of his career. YadA YadA, yaddy. Cool,
they're seven it out, but they really haven't been scoring
a ton of points. So I think that that one
is going to be really interesting in terms of a
battle of defense. In the City's defense has been really solid.
(29:02):
But I think if the Broncos can steal one of
those two on the road, they have done really well
on the road. I think that would it would be tremendous,
tremendous for them. There's an absolute possibility they lose those
next two. But even if you do, you set yourself
up now you've done your job to this point that
say you drop both on the road, and then you're
five hundred and you could still really squarely be in
(29:24):
the sick of things. Best case scenario you went in
two or three. Worst case I think they I think
they at least beat Atlanta one, well, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
One and two in there. That sounds fair.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
But it's going to be very interesting to see what
the next three games light look like for the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
But the one thing that could help them out is
Courtland Sunnon.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
A week ago, Courtland Sun had no yards, no receptions,
but one hundred yards on Sunday. Do you expect this
trend to continue? With Corley said being more involved with
the offense.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
I mean, I certainly hope so.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It was.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
And you know, it wasn't just that Saints game. Several
games leading up to that, it was we didn't see
court get involved till the second quarter, the third quarter.
I think a lot of people were clamoring to just
get him involved early, and so it was so great
to see him get involved, be involved early in the
game plan from the jump. And so I do certainly
(30:27):
hope that continues.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
For it, your wide.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
Receiver one should be making plays like that, should be
that involved in the game plan. And when I look
at this Carolina game, and I know, you know, Carolina's
defense wasn't good, Dad Law, but I think that this
was great for the confidence that this team could have
in the passing game. I talked to Adam Feltman in
the locker room last night and he said that he
(30:49):
feels like this team is still figuring out their offensive identity,
but a game like this where they're able to sling
it around, makes them kind of settle in a little
bit more into wanting feeling confident about making those big
plays and having a lot of big plays. And he
even said he didn't expect them maybe to be flinging
around that much as much as we saw in the
Panthers game, but it was something that he really liked
(31:11):
to see and that obviously they all said off of.
So I hope that we continue to see they can
build off what they did, especially in the past game,
specifically in that Panthers game. Again, we're going to be
seeing much tougher defenses, but can you elevate and can
you lean on a guy like Courtland especially early in games?
But I feel like it's really important early in games
to get Courtland involved and kind of get them momentum
(31:32):
going well.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Roby, we always appreciate the time, and yeah, Brocko is
going to need to throw the ball against the Baltimore Ravens.
Their secondary not very good, you know, and they're going
to need to be able to do that to win.
We always appreciate the time, though, All right, take care
romy Vian CBS.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
We come back, We get back into this.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Broccolds Panthers matchup with Thick ferguson this he's watching the Yankees, who,
by the way, stanton to slower the molasses in January
should have scored that run. We'll get into that in
