Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Pulkom in to it Broncos Country Tonight post See You

(00:02):
Buffs Men's Basketball edition. But it's been all right here
with you right in Solo five, six six nine zeros.
The text line Broncos coming off a pretty bad loss
to the Baltimore Ravens over the weekend. We've talked about
it kind of at nauseum, looking like this team needed
a reality check in terms of where it was and

(00:23):
where its place is in the pecking order in the NFL.
But as we've we've talked about a little bit yesterday
on Broncos React, today on Kai Sports, and on the
earlier portion of Broncos Country Tonight that was live at
the Sporty Pickle. I think that could be a good thing.
I think it can be a good thing to get

(00:44):
sort of rocked by a young team because it gives
you an idea of where you want to go. And
anytime that you have a young team like you do
with the Broncos of the third youngest team in the NFL,
and you can sort of have a team that's viewed
as a contender come in and punch in the mouth.
It goes sort of gives you an example of what

(01:05):
the roadmap is in a sense for where you want
to be. Now. The Broncos don't want to become the
Baltimore Ravens, and you can't. There's not other Lamar Jackson
or Derrick Henry that kind of thing. But in terms
of being able to execute at will and what they do,
the work ethic they you know, what they were putting
in during that game. And you know, we talked about

(01:26):
the interview that we had with with Mike Cliss last
week in his book The o Way Years, and the
Terrell Davis quotes that are in there about how they
used the loss in the AFC Championship came to Jacksonville's
a rallying cry the next year, how they used that
as a code word anytime somebody's having a bad day Jacksonville,
anytime somebody's having a bad practice or not feel it

(01:47):
up to the challenges of practice that day, Jacksonville. And
while the Baltimore Ravens loss is not a playoff loss,
it is one of those kind of losses that you
could look at it and you can say, Baltimore, that's
what we want to be, right. We want to be
where they are. We want to have the capabilities that
they have, and so I think that you can use

(02:11):
that as a bit of a rallying cry going forward.
You may or may not beat Kansas City this coming
week with that, You may or may not beat the
Falcons the following game with that, but it gives you
an idea on a philosophy and something to point toward,
an identity that you wish that you had, an achievement

(02:31):
that you can wrap your head around. This team's too
young to rapids head around the playoffs. The never Broncos
haven't been to the playoffs in ten years. This team
is too young to understand what a super Bowl is.
So knowing what Baltimore is is something that's tangential and
allows you to have something that you can hang your

(02:56):
hat on, something that you want to be, that you
can place as a tangible goal. And so I'm not
looking at this all. We get the breakspeat office, you
know that kind of thing. There's there's plenty of There's
plenty of things to jump into and dissect as far
as the manu shaw of why this thing went wrong,

(03:16):
the way that it went wrong, how it got off
the skids and and got sideways. But in a macro perspective.
I think you can look at this game and say, okay,
you can you can take something out of this and
carry it forward. There were moments where this team looked
like it belonged in the first half. I think the
problem was a combination of a lack of execution at

(03:40):
critical moments and what seemed like a game plan designed
to chase points entirely too early with fourth down, continuing
to go forward on fourth down, passing up opportunities to score,
and those fuddled me a little bit. I like to
play call on fourth down where they threw the ball deep.
Didn't like the execution of it. The ball was way

(04:01):
out in front of Troy Franklin, and to be honest
with you, I probably would have kicked the field goal
there rather than rather than that. But you know, is
what it is. I think for me, this team, the
margins are too thin to pass on points. At the
end of the day, I think that, you know, the
Denver Broncos is currently constructed, are not a consistent enough

(04:23):
and effective enough offense to pass on points. And I
think somewhere, somehow philosophically, they got it in their head
that they needed more points than perhaps even what they needed,
and that chasing points via going forth on fourth down,
et cetera was the way to go. And they did

(04:46):
ultimately get that Philly special play where Bonex caught the touchdown. Okay,
all right, but most of the things that they tried
in those scenarios were not effective. That's sort of the problem.
You don't have something you can hang your hat on.
You don't have something that you can look at as

(05:08):
this is what we do in this scenario, and we
do it well. The Philadelphia Eagles do have that the
you know, the push, the toush push that they do
or whatever they've They've got something in fourth and shorts.
They've got something. There's an identity there. You look at
you know at Baltimore and what they do. They've got
they have an identity. They know what they're doing on
certain scenarios. It just didn't feel like the Broncos have

(05:28):
or really had that in those scenarios. That's not to
say that they can't get there again. I don't want
to sit there and rain on the parade, but they're
not a team that belongs on that tier of football teams.
You know that, they're not a team that belongs in
the this team could compete for a Super Bowl tier
just yet, and a lot of that has to do
with the offensive side of the ball. The defense is there,

(05:49):
although the defense made its share of mistakes in that
game as well. Devin Key did not look ready to
step in and replace PJ. Lock, and they, you know,
they went after him, They picked on him a little
bit and it worked for him. But it does feel
like that you have a defense that is capable of
keeping you in games at times, and it felt like
that this team gave up on that premise too early.

(06:15):
It felt like the Broncos gave up on their players
too early going forward on fourth down, chasing points and
all that kind of stuff. And you know, there are
multiple aspects of how that seems to speak to getting
away from trusting your guys, and I think that's the
opposite of the message that you want to get across.

(06:36):
You know, I think that if you'd taken the points
in some of these scenarios, you could have kept it
within a one score game. Maybe maybe Baltimore plays a
little bit more conservatively at that point, doesn't push itself
to be aggressive because you're being aggressive. You know, there
are a lot of those decisions that can dictate decisions
by other teams, you know, and many times with an

(06:57):
offense like that, you want to try to keep them
in a concert of it a mindset because if you
if you can do that, you can kind of match
pace and then hope that something happens, you know, maybe
you get a turnover. You know, every play is another
opportunity to make something happen, and if you're that team,
you're you're capable of making that happen. We've seen the

(07:20):
Broncos do that. We've seen them be capable of, you know,
instigating turnovers and in those kinds of things. And I
really do feel like that it felt like that that
that plan of attack just did not It just wasn't
the right plan of attack for the team that they
were facing. Five six six n Zeros text line and

(07:42):
if you guys watched the Monday night countdown in advance
of the Buccaneers Chiefs game, but on Saturday, current ESPN
analyst Jason Kelsey, former Center gave a troll a little
more than that troll bargain for grabbing his phone and
smashing it after the troll did what trolls do and

(08:03):
instigated him. The video went viral. The instigation in this
case came from somebody videoing him and calling his brother
a homophobic slur. Overwhelmingly, what Kelsey did was defended and supported.
I don't think I saw any criticism of Jason Kelsey
from anyone, but nevertheless, he opted to publicly apologize for
the instance. In the opening moments of Monday Night Countdown,

(08:26):
he said, quote, I think everybody's seen on social media
everything that took place this week. I'm not happy with
anything that took place. I'm not proud of it. You know,
in a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate,
and I just don't think that's a productive thing. I
really don't. I don't think that, you know, it leads
to discourse that it's the right way to go about things,
and in that moment, I fell down to a level
I shouldn't have. So I think the bottom line is
I want to live my life or I try to

(08:47):
live my life by the golden rule. That's what I've
always been taught, and I tried to treat people with
common decency and respect. I want to keep moving forward,
even though this past, even though I fell short this week,
I'm going to keep moving forward to continue to do that.
And there's a doubtedly an interesting story to be told
regarding how that apology came to be, why or where
it even happened, who crafted and vetted it, But we'll

(09:09):
figure that out down the line. Again, no one was
calling for an apology. Many people who turned into Monday
Night Football probably didn't even know about it, and for
those the apology probably created a bit of confusion, but
still nonetheless a bit of an impressive gesture. We need
more redemption, forgiveness, reconciliation, those kinds of things, especially in
light of what is probably coming tomorrow and one of

(09:29):
the most divisive elections in the history of this nation.
You can listen to election coverage right here on KA
part Night six. I'll be on there. Ryan Schuling will
be anchoring, and we'll have many other KOA personalities throughout
the evening bring you the best coverage and local and
national politics right here on KA. I didn't think that

(09:52):
Kelsey needed to apologize for that. I didn't think you
need to go out of his way to even say
anything about it. Really, some idiot was chasing down and
harassing him while he was walking somewhere and you know,
I don't talk about this a little bit earlier. We
got to stop doing this, We got to stop doing
this thing, or we're we feel like we're entitled to

(10:14):
other people. We feel like we're entitled to just say
whatever we want to other people. And I don't know
if it's internet culture, Twitter or whatever, but as a society,
we've become more and more okay with just popping off
the mouth about things that we probably shouldn't be and
feeling entitled to get a reaction from people, and feeling
entitled to publicly say things that A should never be

(10:37):
said or B shouldn't be said in that moment. And
it just it feels weird to me that this is
where we've gotten. And I mentioned something about it earlier,
and I get a lot of pushback. Well, free speech, Well, okay,
first of all, are you talking about free speech or
freedom of speech? Because freedom of speech means a government
can't prosecute you for what you say, which is not
something that's even in play here. The government isn't prosecuting

(10:58):
anyone for what they say. Say. If you talk about
free speech, well, your free speech, your right to say
whatever you want ends at the beginning of my ears.
And if I don't have the right to change the
channel because you're following me down and harassing me with stuff,
well then I've got to change the channel in a
different way. And so that's the thing I think that

(11:18):
it bugs me a little bit is sort of people's
sense of entitlement in saying things that either aren't true
or instigatory or provocative, and this entire attitude that the
entire world needs to hear what you have to say.
And I recognize the irity of it. Here I am
sitting in front of a microphone doing a job in

(11:39):
which I think that you need to hear what it
is that I have to say, or you know, there
has to be at least some element of that ego involved,
because if there's not, then what am I even doing here?
But by and large, I feel like we've gotten to
a place, or people have gotten to a place where
they have this attitude that they're entitled to make their

(12:00):
voice heard and even if there's not an audience, or
even if that audience doesn't want to hear it. And
in this particular case, it felt like somebody that's a
trolled it was just trying to get a reaction and
go viral, which what a stupid reward, right, what what
a what a stupid end game? I'm gonna come out
here and do something that's horrible or horrifying or dumb

(12:23):
or vulgar in an effort for a lot of people
to see it. What a stupid end game? You know, Like,
at least the I don't know if you guys remember
the Jackass videos or all that kind of stuff where
they did dumb stuff, but at least it was, you know,
the end the end game there was for a laugh,

(12:44):
and it predates, you know, going viral, which is where
we're at now. People will do anything for social media attention,
which isn't something that's real, even in quantifiable portions. Let
me think about it. You know, you get a hundred

(13:05):
likes on a tweet and you're like, okay, why did
this underperform? You have one hundred people come up to
you in a day and compliment you, and you're like,
bizarrely overwhelmed. Social media and the social media currencies are
not real. And the idea that going viral for doing

(13:26):
something dumb is the way to go is well to
be redundant dumb. I can't. I can't even begin to
fathom that mindset. And again, I work in an industry
where that's what you want. You want to reach the
maximum amount of people, You want the attention. That's why
there's so many people out there that say so many
stupid things. That hot takery exists in sports talk because

(13:51):
they feel like that's the way to reach the maxim
amount of people. Say something outlandish so I get the
maximum amount of reactions. What are we teaching people, What
are we teaching future generations that this is the way
to go about handling this that did say, then do
the most outlandish things because that's what gets the most attention.

(14:12):
Is attention really the currency? And for a third time,
again I recognize the irony. I'm sitting in front of
a microphone looking for the largest audience possible. Maybe I
just have different lines I draw on how to do that.

(14:32):
I just can't fathom the mindset where someone would chase
around a professional athlete insult his brother. I say insult,
but it's I mean trying to be derogatory about his brother,
and when his brother's dating one of the biggest pop
stars on the planet, like Travis Kelcey's dating Taylor Swift.

(14:53):
Is there a bigger, more recognizable name on the planet
right now? Probably not. I can't I can't understand, Like,
if your premise is wrong, your use of a slur
is stupid and gross, and what did you hope to

(15:15):
have happen here? Were you trying to provoke Jason Kelsey
to defend his brother's honor in a way that was
going to, you know, result in physicality so you could
bait someone into a lawsuit. I guess, I guess I
just don't understand the premise to begin with. And it
saddness me because I'm am I so out of touch

(15:37):
that the mindset is not something I can even relate
to anymore. I barely have the the the compunction to
t to stomach the Skip baylesses of the world. I
don't watch. I'd never watched any of those shows. I
didn't even know he was fired until recently, Like I,
I don't. I don't watch that kind of stuff just
because that's not that doesn't compute my world, but it

(16:01):
gets shoved down your throat on television in the same
way these political punditry shows do, where they make out
landish claims about politicians or whatever on the opposite side
of the aisle in order to maximize their exposure. And
I guess there's a relevance with an election coming up
tomorrow that I'm speaking on that. The reality is things

(16:24):
are probably much much closer to the center on both
sides of that than media pundits what have you believe?
I don't know. I'm just frustrated. We'll come back. I'm
gonna talk a little bit about some of the rumors
floating around trade deadline coming up tomorrow as well. It'll
be a busy day tomorrow for me one way or

(16:46):
the other guys. Listen to Broncos Country to Night right
here on Kaweaty Aam ninety four on FM News Talk Sports.
Welcome back to it, Broncos Country Tonight, post see you
Buff's men's basketball edition programming Note. Tomorrow night, we'll have

(17:07):
election coverage right here on KO all the local issues,
all the national issues. Ryan Schooling will be anchoring it
at the KWA News desk. I'll be involved, a lot
of the KO personalities be involved, doing our best to
bring you the best live in local election coverage. On Friday,

(17:27):
we will have a short show and then a post
see you Men's basketball edition show as well SeaBus Men's
basketball taking on Northern Colorado right here on Kowa. So
it is that time of the year where we'll have
start having basketball interrupting some of the shows, but full
shows Wednesday Thursday right here on Kosh. So looking forward

(17:49):
to that. I wanted to get into some of the
trade deadline stuff, So this coming up tomorrow got some Obviously,
the Broadcoast traded Baron Browning for a sixth round or today.
You know, there's still some rumors out there trying to
move Greg Dulcic. We've seen some reports out there about

(18:11):
Courtland Sutton, but I really have not heard anything as
far as moving him. We'll see. Talked a little bit
about Christian McCaffrey on the Insider segment on before the
Ravens game. The Niners opened the practice window for McCaffrey today,

(18:32):
increasing the possibility that he hits his target return date
of week ten. McCaffrey, course has not played this season,
went on ir September fourteenth with bilateral achilles tendonitis. General
manager John Lynch expressed optimism about McCaffrey's availability for Sunday's
game against the Bucks. Saying, I sure hope. So Christian's

(18:53):
passed every part of the test of our planned with
a bie week stated with trainers, you know, so he's
saying he looks he's responded well. McCaffrey's four practices this
week will ultimately determined. He's reading this for game action
in the last game he played, and of course being
the Super Bowl. Back in February, Lynch said, I will
say I saw him doing ir work off to the

(19:13):
side with their strength coaches and trainers. It's different than
actually getting on the field. There's a reactive element to it.
And so now we've got to put him through that
test responding to safety coming up, taking one side leverage away,
he's got to make a cut, those kinds of things.
How can he respond right away? Can he feel healthy enough.
I'm proud of our healthy performance team, proud of Christian
the way they've attacked rehab. It's been a long time.
It's been tough, but when you have a player of

(19:34):
that caliber to not have them, I think it's provided
opportunities for other players show what they can do. So
the Niners have definitely missed Christian McCaffrey, and I think
that they're definitely hoping to get him back. My fantasy
team certainly hope so I drafted a number one overall,

(19:56):
but sitting there without him all year, So we'll see
how that go. The Ravens have a quick turnaround Thursday
night against the Bengals, and it looks like Isaiah likely
status gonna be something to watch for the next couple
of days. Likely was a non participant estimated in practice
on Monday's injury report because of a hamstring injury. He
only played seventeen snaps in Sunday's big win over the Broncos.

(20:19):
The participation levels obviously an estimate because the Ravens only
had a walk through today, so something to keep your
eye on. Quarterback Lamar Jackson not on the report after
missing two practices last week, so it looks like he's
good to go. There. The one of the more interesting
things that happened over the weekend, Bear's wide receiver Dj

(20:43):
Moore walked off the field during a play, and head
coach Matt Eberflus is not exactly sure why. Bears wide
receiver Dj Moore did a pretty strange thing in the
first quarter of Sunday's game, walking off the field during
a play and taking a seat on the bench while
Kayleb Williams was still scram im'bling around looking for a receiver.
Bearris coach Matti Everflus isn't sure why I asked about

(21:04):
the play today, said he wasn't aware of it, but
guess that More might have stepped out of bounds accidentally
and then just decided to stay out, saying quote, I'm
not sure the exact play, but I didn't know the
one play he stepped out of bounds. I think side
judged to his hat he was out, so I believe
that's what happened. I have to watch the play specifically,
but I think that might be the play you're talking about.
I don't know the exact play, but I'll have to
go back and look at it. Moore might have thought

(21:26):
he had become an illeligible receiver by stepping out of bounds,
but he could have re established himself in bounds and
continued participating in the play rather than just walking off
and leaving his teammates to compete ten on eleven. Pretty
a bizarre situation, and we're interested to see what Eberflus is.
A head coach addrests with that I'm fascinated to see

(21:49):
what comes of that, you know, I just I don't.
I don't know how you address that you had a
player walk off in the middle of a play. I mean,
this is last week we thought it was bizarre that
Anthony Richardson pulls himself out after a play. How do

(22:10):
you put yourself off the field in the middle of
a play unless you have an injury and Moore did
not appear to have an injury since he asked, you know,
he played the rest of the game. I don't. Uh,
that's one of the ones. I just I you know,
I don't understand. Some other news going on the after

(22:34):
Sunday has lost the Bengals, the Raiders fired offensive cordnator
Luke Getzi. They also fired offensive line coach James Craig
and quarterbacks coach former Broncos offensive coordinator rich S Gangarello.
Tom Brady is one of the newest owners of the
Raider and then was probably kept in a loop about
the deliberations and the decision. Brady was multitasking between calling

(22:55):
Lions Packers game and reading and sending texts partial owner
for the Raiders. It'll be interesting to see if that
affects Tom Brady at all. I wonder how much input
he'll have on the new offensive staff going forward. Chicago
Bears are sticking with Shane Waldron as a play caller

(23:20):
entering the buy. The Bears are flying high at four
and two now after twenty nine to nine loss to
the Cardinals, not so much. Matt Eberflus won't be making
a major change via cording any cronin of ESPN. Eberflus
set offensive coordinator Shane Waldron will continue to cold plays,

(23:43):
say quote, we're looking to find answers. That's where we'reck
collectively is a group offensive defense. We'll go through that
process here today tomorrow implement that plan. On Wednesday, Bears
failed to score a touchdown in Arizona for the first
time this season. Eberflus never fortheless set his faith in
will is high. Loss to the Commanders on a Hail
Mary pass increased the pressure on Eviluvous to turn it around.

(24:06):
Sunday's lackluster performance cranks it up even higher. Good news
is Patriots are coming to town. Bad news is that
the Patriots win. The Bears might have to start thinking
about who's going to be coaching in twenty twenty five,
we mentioned Luke Getzi obviously being fired by the Raiders

(24:27):
along with James Craig and Rich Gangarello. Kevin Stefanski said
no major changes coming during the by Saints, however, made
their decision firing head coach Dennis Allen after a loss
to the Carolina Panthers. Team dropped at two and seven
was Sunday's loss. There's seventh straight loss after starting two

(24:49):
and zero. Rizzy Darren Rizzy, who had been the special
teams coordinated since twenty nineteen, said his first act is
going to be to take a look at the entire
operation of the team in order to see what needs
to change. Rizzy, in his first press conference it's becoming
the interim head coach of the Saints, said no one
should be happy about anything that's happened to the team

(25:09):
this season. As I told the team this morning, everybody
and everything is going to get reevaluated, evaluated, and reevaluated
because right now, the product's not acceptable. Everything down from
the schedule to how we do things, to the active
players to the daily schedule. We're going to look at everything.
The one change Rizzy does not anticipate making is involving
the starting quarterback. He said he expects Derek Carr to

(25:31):
be under center against the Falcons. He promised the team
around and will be full of passion and full of fighters.
Dennis Allen was expected to be fired at the end
of the year last year. Wasn't I think we all

(25:58):
saw the Jamis Winston go rogue run a touchdown in
last year. Part of the reason Jamis is no longer
New Orleans. Dennis Allen, of course no longer the head
coach there in New Orleans. Whoever's going to be the
next head coach there has got major work in front

(26:19):
of them. The Saints are sixty million dollars over the cap.
They don't have any contracts that offer him anything more
than like three million dollars in gain cap relief. They're
gonna have to have some players retire, and Derek Carr
cut him a break on his fifty plus million dollar
balloon payment next year. And this is a part of
the problem with the way the Saints have done business
over the last decade. They kept running up the credit

(26:41):
card and using voidable years on the back end to
kind of kite the process. And now they're coming up
with huge balloon payments that are due and unable to
field a team off the amount of money that they're
gonna have available. There's sixty million dollars over the cap
with with no relief in sight. That was a concern

(27:07):
when the Denver Broncos hired Sean Payton, because that's part
of the reason Sean Payton quit in New Orleans. He'd
run the credit card all the way up, had no
relief coming, decided to bail. Broncos have used voidable years
on contracts for some of the players that they have now,

(27:31):
but they're not anywhere near the Saints situation. Broncos traded
one outside linebacker today. Marion Browning got a six back
from Arizona. Signed another one to a long term deal
over the weekend. Jonathan Cooper got a four year extension
deal is worth about sixty million dollars with thirty three

(27:53):
million in guaranteed money. Cooper was a twenty twenty one
seventh round pick. Had four and a half sacks over
his first two seasons, broke out with eight and a
half sacks while starting every game for defensive coordinator Advanced
Joseph last season, and has five and a half sacks
in the first nine weeks this year. In addition to

(28:17):
the eighteen and a half sacks, Cooper has one hundred
and ninety three tackles, twenty four lost, thirty eight quarterback
hits in interception, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and
a fumble recovery for a touchdown over the course of
his career. Cooper now has going to be a mainstay
the rotation of Nick, Benito and Janan ellis the draft

(28:37):
pick from this year at the edge, and I imagine
they'll draft another one this coming year. As for Baron Browning,
who was a third round pick the same year and
a college teammate of Jonathan Cooper's, He's registered nine and
a half career sacks. Appeared in five games with two

(28:59):
starts this season, recording seven total tackles, won for a loss.
Last season picked up four and a half sacks and
ten games. Browning will get familiarity is the Cardinals host
the Jets in Week ten. Having already played the Jets
this season, Cowboys are going to have to play without

(29:21):
their starting quarterback for the near future. Dak Prescott's hamstring
injury will sideline him for at least multiple weeks. Prescott
is set to seek a second opinion, but it does
not appear to be a short term injury. Prescott went
down to the third quarter of Sunday's loss to Atlanta
after injuring his right leg on an incomplete pass. He

(29:43):
told reporters after the game that he felt something pull
and that was something he'd never felt. Prescott was also
shown on the Fox broadcast with an injury. It was
right hand. Team owner Jerry Jones said postgame that it
was not an issue. Backup Cooper Rush came into play
after Prescott on Sunday, completing thirteen of twenty five passes

(30:04):
for under fifteen yards of a touchdown. Cowboys are still
technically in the playoff hunt at three and five, although
it seems likely Rush will start while Prescott is out.
Dallas also has twenty one, number three overall pick Trey
Lance on his roster. He has not appeared in a
regular season game since twenty twenty two. Dallas hosts the

(30:28):
six and two Eagles next Sunday. Dak Prescott was caught
by a camera on the sideline after that injury, mouthing
to Trey Lance that we bleeping suck that shots from

(30:49):
about less than four minutes to go in the fourth
quarter of that game. That's just fascinating. I mean, that's
a bluntly, brutally honest assessment. Nobody has reported anything further

(31:11):
on it just yet. The Bengals are dealing with several
injury concerns. There's a chance they could have two key
offensive players back for Thursday nights divisional matchup against the Ravens.
Receiver t Higgins has not played since the club's Week
seven victory over the Browns. Offensive tackle Orlando Brown Junior

(31:32):
has been out since Week eight loss to the Eagles.
Both players could return in a couple of days. We'll see.
Head coach Zach Taylor said his Monday press conference. We're
limited in our field work, but both these guys have
the right attitude about it. So that's step one. They
both want to do it now, just physically. We'll put
them through everything, see what we can over the next
couple of days, see where they help us. Taylor noted

(31:55):
the team got better news than expected on defensive tackle
BJ Hill's rib injury, but running Bass Moss role will
remain not indefinitely with a neck injury. Bengals will be
open to everything if it comes to potentially adding a
player with running back Moss out. Additionally, rookie tight end
Eric All suffered a torn acl he'll be out the

(32:16):
rest of the season. Horrible for him, Taylor said, he
obviously rehab put himself in a position from the previous
win a year ago, did all the things he could
to help us win. Just a guy you love being
around and appreciate. All had twenty receptions for one hundred
and fifty eight yards and nine games this season. Daniel

(32:37):
Jones remains the Giant starter. No change to practice reps
at quarterback. Daniel Jones will be the starting quarterback in
Germany this week. Giants head coach Brian Dable confirmed that
the team will not be making a quarterback change in
the wake of their twenty seven to twenty two home
loss to the Commanders on Sunday. They've also said it
to his presser today that there would be no move
to give Drew Locke reps with the first team in

(32:58):
practice leading up to their Week ten overseas game against
the Panthers. Jones was four of six for zero yards
with a touchdown pass and a lost fumble in the
first half of the loss. Of the Commanders. Dabele said
the run heavy approach on offense was not due to
a lack of confidence in Jones. He was sixteen to

(33:19):
twenty for one to seventy four in the second half,
had a rushing touchdown along with the second passing score
lost John dropped the Giants to two and seven on
the season. I'll love a bye after they return from Germany.
Extra time off might make that point a likelier spot
for significant changes, especially if they lose to Carolina there

(33:41):
in Munich. Could potentially see Brian Dabele getting fired, although
I don't think that's going to be the case, at
least not right away. Could see a quarterback change switched
to Drew Locke if given the extra time, try to
get him ready. Daniel Jones just not beneffective, and I

(34:06):
think part of that is the offensive line that they
have there, the lack of the run game since they
moved on from Saquon Barkley. The Giants have some pieces,
but that offensive line has just been brutally bad for years. Honestly,
I'd like to see Daboll get another year with a
different quarterback. I think he's a good coach. I think

(34:27):
he can be a good coach. I just don't know
what the patience level looks like at this point. And
of course Drew Locke, the former Broncos the backup there
would be the next player in line, along with Tommy DeVito,
who was a sensation last year. You listen to Broncos
country tonight right here on Kawa SAVE fifty AM ninety four,
