Speaker 1 (00:00):
This ball will be spotted far hash at the twenty
five yard line. Will Lutz backs up, takes two steps
to the side, says he's ready an attempt of thirty
five yards for the win. Snap placement kick on the
way it is blocked. I don't even know what to say.
(00:25):
I really am at a loss for words. Thirty five
yard field goal blocked with one second to go, and
Kansas City is going to get out of here with
a sixteen to fourteen win over the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You had to start with that grant.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You had to start with the doom in gloom Broncos
country and I bens But all right here with you
riding solo tonight, all the way, all the way through
five six sixty nine zero is the text, lin I'm
want to hear from you guys, what you guys think
of the game. That was a bit of a gut
punch there with the blocked field goal at the end.
I thought the Broncos showed some things in that game,
especially early. The offense appeared to be appeared to be
(01:02):
working pretty well early. Bo was Bo was mostly accurate.
There was a couple of couple of balls I know
he would want back mostly accurate. One thing we're not
going to do is complain about refereeing. We're just not
going to do it. I'm not Yes, it was a
bad call on Brennan Jones didn't decide the game. Sorry,
it didn't. Seventy percent of the game was still left
when that happened. Both teams could have scored. I'm not
(01:25):
doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I hated it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I said it yesterday on the Thing and on the
React Show, and I'll say it again today. We're not
is This is not what I'm doing on this show.
And if you don't like that, listen somewhere else. I
don't care. We're crying about refereeing, We're just not doing that.
That's loser talk, and that's you know, I'm not I'm
not getting into that. If you got real points you
want to make about the offense, the defense, how they
(01:48):
look good, I look bad, special teams, whatever, I'm here
for that.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm not distilling this game down to one bad call
the thirty percent of the way through the game. I'm
just not doing it. I just don't have I don't
have the patience or the energy to uh to deal
with that stuff. So if that's gonna be your take.
Send it somewhere else right, sat about it, any any
other fictitious character you want to write about it. They
(02:14):
feel free because they've got all the time in the
world for it. Five six six nine zero. I get
the time for your real points.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
That there were points, especially in the first half, where
this offense started a round into four, where it started
to look like what we imagined it could be. I
thought we had some moments there that we want back.
Two or three throws from bow we'd want back. And
he's got to when he gets pressure up to be gaps,
he's gotta. He's got to quit throwing off his back
(02:42):
foot because we've seen a little too much of that,
and a lot I saw it twice yesterday where I
just shook my head. We don't, we don't need to
see any more of that. He's gotta he's gotta get
that fixed. That's that's one thing he needs to get
nailed down.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
As far as the rest of it goes. Courtland's got
to quit being fifty to fifty guy.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Where he'll make a great catch, you know, and make
a great, great play and then have an easy catch
for a touchdown. And then come back and drop a
ball a little bit later. You got to be consistent.
And Cortland's, you know, the guaranteed money's about out of
his deal, which means he's probably not gonna be here
next year, probably.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Looking to hit the open market.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And if you want that, you know, another big contract,
you're gonna have to be the guy whose showcases that
they're reliable and able to be the guy worthy of
that kind of money. From the run game, we've got
to get more out of these running backs. We only
had two carries for Jaliel, who I thought looked all right.
(03:34):
You got eight and four on each of those carries.
John to take out one carry for one yard. We're
lined Marvin up in the backfield, which could good for
the fact that we're finally using him.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I don't like. I don't like putting him in.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The offset dot in the offset I and then we're
we're running out in your swing for him as the
only read on a play and everybody knows what was coming.
I got snuffed out. I'd like to see him running
more routes, typically over the middle of the field cella
cross or stuff like that, where you put the ball
in his hands let him create. But good for the
fact that we're getting some usage out of him. He
(04:08):
had seven touches caught all four balls thrown his way.
I'd like to see Marvin Mimms get some more usage.
Little Jordan Humphrey, I think still gets too much. But
you know whatever, he did have one. But you know
that's what happens. As soon as you could plain in
about three weeks of little Jordan Humphrey not delivering on
the targets that he gets that he comes through with
(04:29):
a big play at that what twenty yard rumbling you
know play that he's good for one of those every
four games nicks.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
In the shotgun quick throw right side, Little Jordan Murpree
has it, gets a block and nicely stays in bounds
and tiptoes down the sideline of the Chiefs four set
of bounds right at the Kansas City forty. And that
was Usama who hustled up to force him out of bounds.
But that's a quick screen route in a gain of twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I thought the defense looked good against the run. With
running backs.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The Chiefs had sixteen carries for thirty eight yards in
that game. They did lose Mahomes on one play that
they probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
They were running man on third.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Down, and you could see it when Mahomes started stepping
up and realized everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Was in man, their backs were turned just taking off
with it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's why you kind of want to play third You
finally want to play zone on third down against Patrick
Mahomes because you want some You want linebackers with their
eyes forward so that he doesn't do that. I thought
the defense looked good against the run. It wasn't terrible
against the pass. We did't give up two hundred sixty
sixty yards, but not exactly the most efficient day for
(05:37):
Patrick Mahomes, whose quarterback rating, by the way, was twenty
three points lower than bo Nix's. In that game, most
of the money went to Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelcey,
and they used Hunt with those little pass out of
the backfields of extension of the run game, and that's
(05:58):
sort of what Kansas City does so by JP Ryan
had a couple of catches for thirty seven yards.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The big one was thirty five.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But the difference in the game is Harrison Butker going
three from three on the field and Will that's going
over two and I've got people on Twitter trying to
distill this game down to a flag against Brandon Jones.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
When you say the well, you could just.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Say if the Broncos connect on either one of those
field goals, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's not in the hands of the referees. And I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I see you guys sending the text it We're not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You could do that. I'm not doing it. I'm not
entertaining it. I'm not giving it life. I'm not breathing
aaron to it. We're not doing it. We're not talking
about the referees. There's a bad call against Brandon Jones. Cool.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That's where that conversation ends. That's where it begins. It's
where it ends.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Kansas City Chiefs are the sixth.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Least benefice beneficiary of penalty calls in the NFL in
terms of penalty and disparity. They are the sixth most
penalized team in the fourth quarter dating back to twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I had a bunch of people trying to tell.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Me that situationally all on the fourth quarter that okay calls,
dude Kensadatey Chiefs the sixth most penalized team in the
fourth quarter in the NFL these higher NFL says twenty eighteen,
people are just hyper focused on them because they're always
in prime time. And this is why we keep hard
data instead of using anecdotal evidence as.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Claim, because your eyes do lie to you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I had so many people on social media earlier today, I.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Trust my eyes. Well, okay, there's a reason that we
keep data. It's because your eyes aren'trustworthy.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Ask anybody who's ever had to fill out a report
due to a car accident that a lot of people witnessed.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You'll have six wildly different stories, some of which won't
even get the color of the car. Right at the
end of the day, the referee is gonna make some
good calls. They're gonna make some bad calls. You just
got to live with that. Adjust.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There was seventy percent of the game left when Brandon
Jones got hit with that phantom call. Either the team
could have adjusted. The Broncos could have made either of
two field goals at that point. And I like Will Lutts.
I'm not trying to dump on Will Lutts. I like
Will Lutts, so I think he's a good kicker.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But I just I don't. I'm not I'm not doing.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
This shift of the game or that shifted the game
or any of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
If the Broncos had.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Scored at any point in the second half, is would
he be a conversation?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's what we need to figure.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Out why this team can't seem to score in the
second half unless it's you know, like garbage time type stuff,
or you're playing against Carolina, which you know, by the way,
Caroline is getting better. They got wat them back on defense,
they looked sort of respectable. They sort of they almost
choked that game away against the Giants, but they looked
sort of respectable for us to the game.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Now, maybe that was playing the Giants in Munich, but
they looked they looked okay.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I mean they got boat raced by us, they got
drubbed by the Broncos. I think if they get a
respectable quarterback, they'll be all right. But our problem is
we've got to figure out why we're not scoring in
the second half of games. We scored when we beat
(09:43):
up on Carolina in New Orleans, that's what we scored
in the second half games. You go back and you
look at the Chargers game, we didn't score it all
until the fourth quarter. They get those sixteen points late
and what would have been garbage time as Chargers were
up twenty three nothing at that point, so we got
six team points, you know, late in that game. I just,
(10:09):
for life of me, I don't understand why this team
struggles late. And it's interesting because they were struggling early
in some of these other games, whether it was the
the aforementioned Chargers game.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
They didn't score early in the Jets game.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Although you can kind of chuck that one up to weather,
nobody was scoring in that game.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
What's interesting to me about it is they looked like
they couldn't do anything in the second half, and then
they have a six minute drive to wrap things up
in the fourth quarter before that blocks field go. I mean,
what were they doing so different on that last drive
that they couldn't have been doing?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Roar of the ball, So why weren't they doing that
the whole salers.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And you're we're circling the drain on it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They want to throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's almost like Sean Payton wants to prove he's smarter
than everybody with the bon Knicks thing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Dude, bon Nicks looks good. You were already smarter than
everybody on it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You don't have to do that win football games.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And the smart the the guy, the smarter than you.
Stuff takes care of itself.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And I you know, there's been some back and forth
on what they did there at the end of the game.
I fully supported milking the clock and making it a
one possession game.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I fully supported that across the board.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I wish they would have been Yeah, absolutely, you're not
giving Pama Homes time.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You give him ten seconds.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
He scored.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It was a Buffalo game a couple of years ago.
Oh give him time. I get it. I fully support that.
I'm with it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I wish they'd been a little bit more aggressive in
trying to run the ball rather than running between the
b gaps two times and then kneeling it on the
right hash try or reverse try it in around a
little bump pass.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Let Marvin Mims.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Touch the ball for a second, give yourself a chance
to score the touchdown, or at least be in position
to get it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And you know, that's just the way I would have done.
At the end of the game. You go to kick
the field goal, you.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Got a clear left side overload that doesn't get called out.
You have a kicker who looked like he was kicking
with a load trajectory on what should have been something
where you're using the nine iron and try and loft
it a little bit. It was just a fall apart
on special teams. Broncos twenty first and second half scoring
(12:31):
in the NFL bottom third the league.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Ryan Edwards has an interesting stat on KO Sports that
they have. They're averaging like three point one points in
the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, you can't win games on it. You're not gonna
win games like that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You talk and this team has talked about winning the
middle eight, the middle eight minutes, the last four minutes
of the first half, the first four minutes of the
second half, winning that, and they consistently don't do that.
That is a team priority that they have publicly stayed it,
and they're they're not executing that. Five six, six nine
(13:07):
zeros a text line seven two makes a good point.
Watch the block field goal in NFL Live. That tackle
was steamrolled on every attempts.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Matt part Now is Forsyth over there on the left side.
It got they got bull rushed and It's not the
first time that's happened. I started going back and look
at other field goal attempts. There have been teams that
have come close. Leo shand all came out and said
they noticed something on tape. He may not have been
He may have been telling the truth. Six eight two
(13:48):
says Patty got sacked by my Casa Banito. He got
sacked three times by Benito. Only one I'm counted. If
anybody has a right to be mad about that game
and mad about penalty flags, is Nick Benito.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mahomes playface with nobody but that with pressure and down.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
He goeslick Benito like a torpedo off the side. He
beat Kingsley Suama Taia right off the jump.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And Mahomes never had a chance.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
They were beating that left tackle like he stole something. Anyone,
just Benito.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Either Cooper was coming in there, they were getting they
were getting off on that side, and it was not
It was not a particularly uh impressive day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Let's on away.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Mahomes in the pocket, He's gonna be grabbed by Jonathan
Cooper and pulled down. Coop's got a sack back at
the thirty three.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And for Jonathan Cooper.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That represents six and a half sacks on the season,
a loss of two.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Five four one says, if you're blaming a loss on officiating.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You didn't win definitively enough.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In my position, it goes for the Brandon Jones situation
and all the noise everybody made about the field goal
line of scrimmage rules, which, by the way, I saw
this floating around on Twitter. The rule is you can't
have six people lied more than six people excuse.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Me, lined up on the line of scrimmage. Has to
be on the line of scrimmage. That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And if you look at the video, the people that
point out the seven, the other guy's not on the
last cribbage.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's like three feet back.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
There was no violation of the field goal line of
scrimmage rules. But you're right five four one.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
If either win definitively or you toss the dice.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Six point two says I'm all one to night because
I know the Chiefs got lucky.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The Chiefs did get lucky. I'm not saying they didn't get.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Lucky, although I guess I could say they didn't get lucky.
Takes skill to get in there and get the field
goal block takes an element of luck as well, but
the Broncos isn't familiar with luck.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We can go back to the Super Bowl year and
see how lucky.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
The Broncos got with some of that stuff. There's an
element of that in football. So he says the Chiefs
would have scored if it wasn't for the penalty on Jones, Well,
who's to say they wouldn't have scored the next drive?
Like I hate that. I hate that stuff. The end
of the day, the officials made a bad call. You
had seventy percent of the game, You had more than
plenty of time. Multiple drive attempts to make up for that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Seven Duo points out what I was talking about earlier
with the ocean all saying, according to the highlight, Kansas
City has seen this and actually concentrate on the left side.
That's what they did. It's actually that's absolutely what they did.
At the end of the day, this is a very
young team. The Never Broncos are the third youngest team
in the NFL. Okay, and this is a team that's
got to learn how to win. And this is one
of those games where at the end of the day,
(16:40):
you hope that they take this and make this a
rally and cry going forward.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Everybody remembers the sting of this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Loss and plugs that into the effort this week and
going up against the Atlanta Falcons, knowing that it takes
one hundred and fifty percent effort, not ninety nine percent.
But at the end of the game, when the game's
on the line, you can't you can't do things wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Every second in an NFL game matters.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Especially against the best teams. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs
are one of the best teams.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I said yesterday when we were on Broncos React, I
thought there's plenty of positives to take away. Bo Nix
look good in that game. The Denver Broncos now know
that they can compete. This team has the has the ability,
has the pieces, and the ability to compete with the best.
There are things to take away from this that are positive.
(17:38):
So let's let's focus on that stuff. They got the quarterback.
I'm i'm, I'm on board. Now they got the quarterback.
They got some things they need to iron out. He's
got to quit throw off that back foot, quit air
mail and passes up the left side line at Troy Franklin.
But there's something to look forward to. This team can compete.
(17:59):
They're in almost every game. The Baltimore game not was standing.
They're in every game. That's the start, that's the stepping stone,
this is the floor. You went into Kansas City and
the only reason that you lost was a block field
(18:21):
goal in the last play of the game. You can
absolutely compete.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Take bride Net. It's gonna be a positive show tonight.
We got a big show.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Parker Gabriel, Cody Roar, Harrison Winn's gonna join us, Tuck
Little Nuggets. I want to get to see you. Paths
is paved. Had a good showing this weekend and some
help as well. Listen to Broncos Country named Kawe.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
First down at Tampa to forty nine quick throw and
it is intercepted by Colorado running up to your sideline.
Not Kai Hill Green the Transferadock Charlotte just picked off
the pass and snuffed out any idea of a comeback.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Somebody didn't need any officiating this weekend. Colorado buff's Seabuffs
and I got help too. Seabufs need a needed a
little bit of help to continue to pave the way
as they continue to try to head toward the Big
(19:18):
twelve championship game and hopefully on into the college football playoffs.
The Colorado Buffs have needed help throughout this season, right
number eighteen, by the way, and the eight people, they
(19:41):
don't need anybody's help anymore, don't need help anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Schedules paved, you went out. It's yours. You control your
destiny now.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Thanks to three straight wins at Arizona Cincinnati at home
and at Texas Tech forty one twenty.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Seven coming down from I believe it was a ten to.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Nothing lead early thirteen nothing leader, excuse me, Texas Tech
had things started getting little uh, little hot under the
collar at thirteen nothing, and then Colorado came back and
put up forty one points with Texas Teach only getting
fourteen more the rest of the way. And really they
(20:20):
had the game in control the uh about the eight
minute mark in.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
The second quarter.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
After that it was once they scored the first touchdown
was thirteen to seven, then it was just they just
had the game in control from there. Shoodo Sanders finishes
two hundred ninety one yards three touchdowns on sixty nine
percent passing.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Travis Hunter nine catches ninety nine yards on a touchdown.
By the way, Hunter's going to be.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I mean, he is the prohibitive favorite at this point
for the Heisman if he stays healthy and continues to
play the way he's been playing.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, he has a case.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
For the Heisman in either position, corner or wide receiver,
and you combine them both, and I don't think anybody's
closed at Jati out.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Of Boise State, probably number two.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And then whatever quarterback they decide to foist upon us
that week, whether it's cam Ward or Dylan Gabriel, usually
gets shoved into the conversation simply because they're a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, and cam Moore did not look great this week
against Georgia Tech did not did not.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Matter of fact, I didn't mind what he was sure
his best quarterback on the field. Haines King tackle.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Right game time decision, he comes through and gets a
big upset. But yeah, I mean, when you hear the
likes of Charles Woodson and some of the other greats
of college football pass talk about Travis Hunter, they just
say how unbelievable what he is doing is.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
So, I mean, he's got to be your favorite to
win the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I get that his offensive numbers aren't gaudy for a
wide receiver, but you got to put into play that
he's playing one hundred and thirty snaps a game, right,
he's doing he's just as dominant on the defensive side
as he is on the offensive side.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, they are good numbers on the offensive side. I mean,
he did have one hundred yards, but they spread the
ball around. Other guys just just spread around to you know,
other guys. They're just not gaudy numbers. They're a college
wide receiver, right, whereas Chanty has sort of gaudy numbers. Well,
come back down to earth. Over the last few weeks,
he's not averaging what ten yards of carry a first
down every time he touches the ball. But it's still
(22:08):
you know, when you look at you Anty, you don't
want to take anything away from that they broke.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The Buffs have a good test against Utah coming up
at home.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Utah is still a decent team, even though they're only
four and five this year. There's still a very formidable
football team. Then you're at Kansas, who has had the
worst luck this season. They're they're kind of the anti
Kansas City Chiefs. I guess and the worst luck this season,
although they won this past week and it had helped
out what the Buffs needed to uh to continue as
(22:35):
they go along and ultimately have a destiny date with BYU.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What happened? Did you see?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I just saw the the everything after the Utah BYU game,
But apparently the ad got fined for talking crap about
the officials. Did you see what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
With that game?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I did not see what happened as far as that
kind of stuff goes BYU who got the winning field goal,
the late field goal with what was it like nine
seconds left, I think, and that was that was what
did it? They were you know, Utah I had a
twenty one ten lead at the half. They had a
twenty one ten lead at the half, and Utah just
couldn't get a second half point, couldn't score, and they
(23:20):
let BYU chip away and chip away and chip away,
and nine seconds left, b YU gets field goal and that's,
you know, the end of day.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Here's the quote from Utah athletic director Mark Harlan, who
was fined forty thousand dollars by the Big twelve. He said,
we were excited about being in the Big twelve. But
tonight I am not we won this game. Someone else
stole it from us. Very disappointed. Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I didn't see the end of that.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Mostly it was the box scores in the highlights, so
I didn't see the controversy in that game.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I was looking at some other stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
But I you know, I mean that's where this thing
is headed BYU versus Colorado down in the Big twelve championship.
I think if you're Colorado, you want or potentially want
Kansas State to keep winning. Makes that makes that game
look tougher because they're ranked, you know, football team. So
I don't think, you know, in terms of help, you
(24:16):
don't need any, but there are some things here or
there that you might might hope sort of happen. And
then the k State, who again by the selection committee,
is actually one slot ahead of Colorado right now, I
think you want them to keep winning for your strength
to schedule to look a little bit stronger. B Why
(24:37):
you sitting in the nine spot one of three undefeated
teams four undefeated team excuse me, left in the top
twenty five.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
You think Big twelve only gets one team for sure? Though,
Well you get one.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's a lock, you know, and then after that, I mean,
this kind of depends on how a lot of these
other things shake out. Indiana looks pretty good this year.
You know, Oregon is tad and know, you know, there's
some for sure teams that are in there. You know,
Notre Dame's got a case right now. There's there's some
there's some teams that have a case that I think
you need to put this thing lay out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
My beloved Army Black Knights at nine to oh. They
were in a tough one this weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
They uh, well, I wound up winning fourteen three at
North Texas, but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
First time they've tray out all year.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well part of that was they had a thirteen minute
plus almost fourteen minute drive, ninety four yard thirteen minute
drive in that game that ate up an entire quarter.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I could not have been I thought that was just awesome.
The Benjamin Albright School of football, right oh.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I loved every every minute of it. Ate up an
entire an entire quarter running the football. They're not gaudy
offensive numbers, but they get it John, they get it done.
Rice and Daily went two of four for fifteen yards
and an interception. He did, however, run it six times
for one hundred and fifty three yards a two touchdowns
(26:02):
on the.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Ground, thirty six carries for your quarterback. That is wild.
It's bad. Man.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They were up against North Texas and you know they
but Armies playing really well for being a service academy
that has all the disadvantages that they.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Have, and what a great story for college football if
they make it in that would be so awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The fullback was the second leading carrier thirteen carries sixty
five yards only at Army.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, I just I'm.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Looking forward to They've got a date with Notre Dame
coming up here real soon and that's going to be
kind of the test November twenty third, So they got
a bye week to prep for Notre Dame and it's
at Notre Dame and that place.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
He is going to be hoppin'. Who's Notre Dame play
the week before that? Do you have their schedule in
front of you?
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Who does Notre Dame play this week? Off the top
of my head, I am not a hundred I do.
I can pull up their schedule, give me a second.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
They've got Virginia and there I'll see it pretty easy.
Went well, it's a home game for them too. They
got they had. They just beat Florida State fifty two
to three at home. God, Mike Norvell fired both the coordinators.
By the way, everyone to fire quarterback, Well, I've known
Mike Norvel since he was a wide receiver at Central Arkansas.
I've known him a long time, and I don't like
(27:22):
behind the scenes, DJ, you and his dad are the problem,
not anything else that's going on there, and they let
themselves get talked into taking him and it's it was
just it's just been a bad situation ever since.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He fired both coordinators. I don't know if that saves anything.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Virginia five and four at Notre Dame this week, and
then of course the showdown with Army looming on on
November twenty third.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
That'll be must watch television. So Army is a tough.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Team to prep for, man, especially if you don't have
any extra time. Yeah, it's surprising people in South Bend
just saying, and they get the bye week, maybe, you know,
maybe just maybe we'll see how it goes. It's you
play against the Army, You're you're getting into forty or
fifty car crashes a game, and you know, Speaking of which,
let's go out to the Kerrey Travick Center and see
how many car crashes are after.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The highway with Davile brance.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh, we got a couple Monday night football going on,
Miami Dolphins taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Miami up
seven to nothing with buck twenty two left in the
first quarter. Rams driving right now. Talked a lot about
the Broncos. We'll get back into that one a little
bit about CU three six old wonders do the Heisman
(28:26):
voters look for when voting and why wouldn't Travis Hunter
win it?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Well, we got two Heisman voters at this station.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Both Nick Ferguson and Ryant Edwards are Heisman voters. I've
consistently tried to lobby Riot Edwards for different things over
the years, to no avail. We'll see if I can
influence mister Ferguson. And I don't know why either one
of those two wouldn't vote for Travis Hunter. Three ZHO
(28:52):
three says they watched the Utah EYU game and says
Utah got hosed and they believe they have a legitimate gripe.
I'm gonna have to dig in during the break, can
take a look at the other game on that I
just one.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I just did.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I saw the stuff poured in on Twitter, but I
just didn't. I was too busy with some other things
at the time. We'll figure that one out. As far
as the Broncos go, though, I'm looking forward to talking
with to our guests tonight. Cody Roark and Parker Gabriel
both Gonda join us top of the next hour Cody
Roarke and then top of the eight o'clock hour will
have Parker Gabriel. Harrison Winn't gonna join us bottom of
(29:24):
the seven o'clock hour talk a little bit about the Nuggets.
I want to get into that because after a frankly
disastrous start, they've started to look much much better.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Five wins in a row, if I'm not mistaken, and
that seems odd.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
To me with the loss of Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Well, we'll get into it with him, see why exactly
they feel like that the Nuggets have found a spark
and how to keep that going. In terms of the Broncos,
I do want to ask both Cody and Parker about
this concerning lack of scoring in the second half half
from the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
What can we do to make sure that we're coming
out strong after the half?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Should Sean Payton script the second half because it feels
like this team comes out of the half a little
disjointed and then we don't see successful drives till the
very end of games. And to be fair, this isn't
a bon Nix problem because we saw it last year too.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
The Broncos couldn't get.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Anything going in the second and third quarter, where they're
one of the worst teams in the league in terms
of scoring, and then in the fourth quarter russ theatrics
would lead us to game winning drives and comebacks and
come back opportunities.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I don't believe it's a bow.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Knicks problem simply because it's a problem that has spanned
multiple quarterbacks. Maybe it happened to afflict both of those quarterbacks.
I just I just doubt it.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Before we get to the top of the hour break here,
I was trying to get Nick and Ryan to give
Russell Wilson some love during their show.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I'm gonna do it. They did not want to do it.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
But what do you think about how he's playing, how
he's come in, how he's dealt with the justin field
situation at the beginning of the year and how he's
looked overall with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Here's well, And to be honest with you, in that game,
if you watch that Comanders game, he looked fire up.
He didn't look like Cornball Russ anymore. He looked like
a dude who was showing passion on a field. All
the people that were griping about the replacement of Justin
fields when Russell Wilson came in fields with the Steelers,
the Steelers averaged twenty points a game. Was Russell Wilson,
They're averaging thirty two. We already knew that the Steelers
(31:49):
had a high quality defense. The question was whether or
not the offense could score enough. And they are scoring.
So I you know, I happened to know from conversations
with coaches on that staff that I happen to know
that Russell Wilson was always gonna be the guy as
soon as he got back. That the media was making
that competition and training camp out to be more than
(32:10):
it was. That Russ was clearly the better quarterback. And
we're seeing that now. Does Russ have issues? Sure, And
you have a fan base that more or less feels
like they got burnt by the guy, so they're rooting
against him. I'm not rooting against Russell Wilson. I wish
him success every game he plays, except the Denver Broncos.
(32:32):
That's fun to see him out there succeeding and what
you know, and kind of a what could have been
sort of scenario. You know that I'm okay with Russ
having success out there. I don't have anything against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's not Russell Wilson's fault that Nate Hackett couldn't coach
and that Sean Payton didn't want him. They were incompatible
with each other. We've got bo Nicks now, I'm not
worried about it. Bisham's success rocks Country a night back
after this
This ball will be spotted far hash at the twenty
five yard line. Will Lutz backs up, takes two steps
to the side, says he's ready an attempt of thirty
five yards for the win. Snap placement kick on the
way it is blocked. I don't even know what to say.
(00:25):
I really am at a loss for words. Thirty five
yard field goal blocked with one second to go, and
Kansas City is going to get out of here with
a sixteen to fourteen win over the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You had to start with that grant.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You had to start with the doom in gloom Broncos
country and I bens But all right here with you
riding solo tonight, all the way, all the way through
five six sixty nine zero is the text, lin I'm
want to hear from you guys, what you guys think
of the game. That was a bit of a gut
punch there with the blocked field goal at the end.
I thought the Broncos showed some things in that game,
especially early. The offense appeared to be appeared to be
(01:02):
working pretty well early. Bo was Bo was mostly accurate.
There was a couple of couple of balls I know
he would want back mostly accurate. One thing we're not
going to do is complain about refereeing. We're just not
going to do it. I'm not Yes, it was a
bad call on Brennan Jones didn't decide the game. Sorry,
it didn't. Seventy percent of the game was still left
when that happened. Both teams could have scored. I'm not
(01:25):
doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I hated it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I said it yesterday on the Thing and on the
React Show, and I'll say it again today. We're not
is This is not what I'm doing on this show.
And if you don't like that, listen somewhere else. I
don't care. We're crying about refereeing, We're just not doing that.
That's loser talk, and that's you know, I'm not I'm
not getting into that. If you got real points you
want to make about the offense, the defense, how they
(01:48):
look good, I look bad, special teams, whatever, I'm here
for that.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm not distilling this game down to one bad call
the thirty percent of the way through the game. I'm
just not doing it. I just don't have I don't
have the patience or the energy to uh to deal
with that stuff. So if that's gonna be your take.
Send it somewhere else right, sat about it, any any
other fictitious character you want to write about it. They
(02:14):
feel free because they've got all the time in the
world for it. Five six six nine zero. I get
the time for your real points.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I thought.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
That there were points, especially in the first half, where
this offense started a round into four, where it started
to look like what we imagined it could be. I
thought we had some moments there that we want back.
Two or three throws from bow we'd want back. And
he's got to when he gets pressure up to be gaps,
he's gotta. He's got to quit throwing off his back
(02:42):
foot because we've seen a little too much of that,
and a lot I saw it twice yesterday where I
just shook my head. We don't, we don't need to
see any more of that. He's gotta he's gotta get
that fixed. That's that's one thing he needs to get
nailed down.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
As far as the rest of it goes. Courtland's got
to quit being fifty to fifty guy.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Where he'll make a great catch, you know, and make
a great, great play and then have an easy catch
for a touchdown. And then come back and drop a
ball a little bit later. You got to be consistent.
And Cortland's, you know, the guaranteed money's about out of
his deal, which means he's probably not gonna be here
next year, probably.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Looking to hit the open market.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
And if you want that, you know, another big contract,
you're gonna have to be the guy whose showcases that
they're reliable and able to be the guy worthy of
that kind of money. From the run game, we've got
to get more out of these running backs. We only
had two carries for Jaliel, who I thought looked all right.
(03:34):
You got eight and four on each of those carries.
John to take out one carry for one yard. We're
lined Marvin up in the backfield, which could good for
the fact that we're finally using him.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I don't like. I don't like putting him in.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The offset dot in the offset I and then we're
we're running out in your swing for him as the
only read on a play and everybody knows what was coming.
I got snuffed out. I'd like to see him running
more routes, typically over the middle of the field cella
cross or stuff like that, where you put the ball
in his hands let him create. But good for the
fact that we're getting some usage out of him. He
(04:08):
had seven touches caught all four balls thrown his way.
I'd like to see Marvin Mimms get some more usage.
Little Jordan Humphrey, I think still gets too much. But
you know whatever, he did have one. But you know
that's what happens. As soon as you could plain in
about three weeks of little Jordan Humphrey not delivering on
the targets that he gets that he comes through with
(04:29):
a big play at that what twenty yard rumbling you
know play that he's good for one of those every
four games nicks.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
In the shotgun quick throw right side, Little Jordan Murpree
has it, gets a block and nicely stays in bounds
and tiptoes down the sideline of the Chiefs four set
of bounds right at the Kansas City forty. And that
was Usama who hustled up to force him out of bounds.
But that's a quick screen route in a gain of twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I thought the defense looked good against the run. With
running backs.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The Chiefs had sixteen carries for thirty eight yards in
that game. They did lose Mahomes on one play that
they probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
They were running man on third.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Down, and you could see it when Mahomes started stepping
up and realized everybody.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Was in man, their backs were turned just taking off
with it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's why you kind of want to play third You
finally want to play zone on third down against Patrick
Mahomes because you want some You want linebackers with their
eyes forward so that he doesn't do that. I thought
the defense looked good against the run. It wasn't terrible
against the pass. We did't give up two hundred sixty
sixty yards, but not exactly the most efficient day for
(05:37):
Patrick Mahomes, whose quarterback rating, by the way, was twenty
three points lower than bo Nix's. In that game, most
of the money went to Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelcey,
and they used Hunt with those little pass out of
the backfields of extension of the run game, and that's
(05:58):
sort of what Kansas City does so by JP Ryan
had a couple of catches for thirty seven yards.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The big one was thirty five.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
But the difference in the game is Harrison Butker going
three from three on the field and Will that's going
over two and I've got people on Twitter trying to
distill this game down to a flag against Brandon Jones.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
When you say the well, you could just.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Say if the Broncos connect on either one of those
field goals, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's not in the hands of the referees. And I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I see you guys sending the text it We're not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You could do that. I'm not doing it. I'm not
entertaining it. I'm not giving it life. I'm not breathing
aaron to it. We're not doing it. We're not talking
about the referees. There's a bad call against Brandon Jones. Cool.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That's where that conversation ends. That's where it begins. It's
where it ends.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Kansas City Chiefs are the sixth.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Least benefice beneficiary of penalty calls in the NFL in
terms of penalty and disparity. They are the sixth most
penalized team in the fourth quarter dating back to twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I had a bunch of people trying to tell.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Me that situationally all on the fourth quarter that okay calls,
dude Kensadatey Chiefs the sixth most penalized team in the
fourth quarter in the NFL these higher NFL says twenty eighteen,
people are just hyper focused on them because they're always
in prime time. And this is why we keep hard
data instead of using anecdotal evidence as.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Claim, because your eyes do lie to you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I had so many people on social media earlier today, I.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Trust my eyes. Well, okay, there's a reason that we
keep data. It's because your eyes aren'trustworthy.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Ask anybody who's ever had to fill out a report
due to a car accident that a lot of people witnessed.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You'll have six wildly different stories, some of which won't
even get the color of the car. Right at the
end of the day, the referee is gonna make some
good calls. They're gonna make some bad calls. You just
got to live with that. Adjust.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There was seventy percent of the game left when Brandon
Jones got hit with that phantom call. Either the team
could have adjusted. The Broncos could have made either of
two field goals at that point. And I like Will Lutts.
I'm not trying to dump on Will Lutts. I like
Will Lutts, so I think he's a good kicker.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But I just I don't. I'm not I'm not doing.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
This shift of the game or that shifted the game
or any of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
If the Broncos had.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Scored at any point in the second half, is would
he be a conversation?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's what we need to figure.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Out why this team can't seem to score in the
second half unless it's you know, like garbage time type stuff,
or you're playing against Carolina, which you know, by the way,
Caroline is getting better. They got wat them back on defense,
they looked sort of respectable. They sort of they almost
choked that game away against the Giants, but they looked
sort of respectable for us to the game.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Now, maybe that was playing the Giants in Munich, but
they looked they looked okay.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I mean they got boat raced by us, they got
drubbed by the Broncos. I think if they get a
respectable quarterback, they'll be all right. But our problem is
we've got to figure out why we're not scoring in
the second half of games. We scored when we beat
(09:43):
up on Carolina in New Orleans, that's what we scored
in the second half games. You go back and you
look at the Chargers game, we didn't score it all
until the fourth quarter. They get those sixteen points late
and what would have been garbage time as Chargers were
up twenty three nothing at that point, so we got
six team points, you know, late in that game. I just,
(10:09):
for life of me, I don't understand why this team
struggles late. And it's interesting because they were struggling early
in some of these other games, whether it was the
the aforementioned Chargers game.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
They didn't score early in the Jets game.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Although you can kind of chuck that one up to weather,
nobody was scoring in that game.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
What's interesting to me about it is they looked like
they couldn't do anything in the second half, and then
they have a six minute drive to wrap things up
in the fourth quarter before that blocks field go. I mean,
what were they doing so different on that last drive
that they couldn't have been doing?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Roar of the ball, So why weren't they doing that
the whole salers.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
And you're we're circling the drain on it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They want to throw the ball.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's almost like Sean Payton wants to prove he's smarter
than everybody with the bon Knicks thing.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Dude, bon Nicks looks good. You were already smarter than
everybody on it.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You don't have to do that win football games.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
And the smart the the guy, the smarter than you.
Stuff takes care of itself.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And I you know, there's been some back and forth
on what they did there at the end of the game.
I fully supported milking the clock and making it a
one possession game.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I fully supported that across the board.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I wish they would have been Yeah, absolutely, you're not
giving Pama Homes time.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You give him ten seconds.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
He scored.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It was a Buffalo game a couple of years ago.
Oh give him time. I get it. I fully support that.
I'm with it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I wish they'd been a little bit more aggressive in
trying to run the ball rather than running between the
b gaps two times and then kneeling it on the
right hash try or reverse try it in around a
little bump pass.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Let Marvin Mims.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Touch the ball for a second, give yourself a chance
to score the touchdown, or at least be in position
to get it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And you know, that's just the way I would have done.
At the end of the game. You go to kick
the field goal, you.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Got a clear left side overload that doesn't get called out.
You have a kicker who looked like he was kicking
with a load trajectory on what should have been something
where you're using the nine iron and try and loft
it a little bit. It was just a fall apart
on special teams. Broncos twenty first and second half scoring
(12:31):
in the NFL bottom third the league.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Ryan Edwards has an interesting stat on KO Sports that
they have. They're averaging like three point one points in
the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, you can't win games on it. You're not gonna
win games like that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You talk and this team has talked about winning the
middle eight, the middle eight minutes, the last four minutes
of the first half, the first four minutes of the
second half, winning that, and they consistently don't do that.
That is a team priority that they have publicly stayed it,
and they're they're not executing that. Five six, six nine
(13:07):
zeros a text line seven two makes a good point.
Watch the block field goal in NFL Live. That tackle
was steamrolled on every attempts.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah he was.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Matt part Now is Forsyth over there on the left side.
It got they got bull rushed and It's not the
first time that's happened. I started going back and look
at other field goal attempts. There have been teams that
have come close. Leo shand all came out and said
they noticed something on tape. He may not have been
He may have been telling the truth. Six eight two
(13:48):
says Patty got sacked by my Casa Banito. He got
sacked three times by Benito. Only one I'm counted. If
anybody has a right to be mad about that game
and mad about penalty flags, is Nick Benito.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Mahomes playface with nobody but that with pressure and down.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
He goeslick Benito like a torpedo off the side. He
beat Kingsley Suama Taia right off the jump.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And Mahomes never had a chance.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
They were beating that left tackle like he stole something. Anyone,
just Benito.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Either Cooper was coming in there, they were getting they
were getting off on that side, and it was not
It was not a particularly uh impressive day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Let's on away.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Mahomes in the pocket, He's gonna be grabbed by Jonathan
Cooper and pulled down. Coop's got a sack back at
the thirty three.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And for Jonathan Cooper.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That represents six and a half sacks on the season,
a loss of two.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Five four one says, if you're blaming a loss on officiating.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You didn't win definitively enough.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In my position, it goes for the Brandon Jones situation
and all the noise everybody made about the field goal
line of scrimmage rules, which, by the way, I saw
this floating around on Twitter. The rule is you can't
have six people lied more than six people excuse.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Me, lined up on the line of scrimmage. Has to
be on the line of scrimmage. That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
And if you look at the video, the people that
point out the seven, the other guy's not on the
last cribbage.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's like three feet back.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
There was no violation of the field goal line of
scrimmage rules. But you're right five four one.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
If either win definitively or you toss the dice.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Six point two says I'm all one to night because
I know the Chiefs got lucky.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The Chiefs did get lucky. I'm not saying they didn't get.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Lucky, although I guess I could say they didn't get lucky.
Takes skill to get in there and get the field
goal block takes an element of luck as well, but
the Broncos isn't familiar with luck.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We can go back to the Super Bowl year and
see how lucky.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
The Broncos got with some of that stuff. There's an
element of that in football. So he says the Chiefs
would have scored if it wasn't for the penalty on Jones, Well,
who's to say they wouldn't have scored the next drive?
Like I hate that. I hate that stuff. The end
of the day, the officials made a bad call. You
had seventy percent of the game, You had more than
plenty of time. Multiple drive attempts to make up for that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Seven Duo points out what I was talking about earlier
with the ocean all saying, according to the highlight, Kansas
City has seen this and actually concentrate on the left side.
That's what they did. It's actually that's absolutely what they did.
At the end of the day, this is a very
young team. The Never Broncos are the third youngest team
in the NFL. Okay, and this is a team that's
got to learn how to win. And this is one
of those games where at the end of the day,
(16:40):
you hope that they take this and make this a
rally and cry going forward.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Everybody remembers the sting of this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Loss and plugs that into the effort this week and
going up against the Atlanta Falcons, knowing that it takes
one hundred and fifty percent effort, not ninety nine percent.
But at the end of the game, when the game's
on the line, you can't you can't do things wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Every second in an NFL game matters.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
Especially against the best teams. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs
are one of the best teams.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I said yesterday when we were on Broncos React, I
thought there's plenty of positives to take away. Bo Nix
look good in that game. The Denver Broncos now know
that they can compete. This team has the has the ability,
has the pieces, and the ability to compete with the best.
There are things to take away from this that are positive.
(17:38):
So let's let's focus on that stuff. They got the quarterback.
I'm i'm, I'm on board. Now they got the quarterback.
They got some things they need to iron out. He's
got to quit throw off that back foot, quit air
mail and passes up the left side line at Troy Franklin.
But there's something to look forward to. This team can compete.
(17:59):
They're in almost every game. The Baltimore game not was standing.
They're in every game. That's the start, that's the stepping stone,
this is the floor. You went into Kansas City and
the only reason that you lost was a block field
(18:21):
goal in the last play of the game. You can
absolutely compete.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Take bride Net. It's gonna be a positive show tonight.
We got a big show.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Parker Gabriel, Cody Roar, Harrison Winn's gonna join us, Tuck
Little Nuggets. I want to get to see you. Paths
is paved. Had a good showing this weekend and some
help as well. Listen to Broncos Country named Kawe.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
First down at Tampa to forty nine quick throw and
it is intercepted by Colorado running up to your sideline.
Not Kai Hill Green the Transferadock Charlotte just picked off
the pass and snuffed out any idea of a comeback.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Somebody didn't need any officiating this weekend. Colorado buff's Seabuffs
and I got help too. Seabufs need a needed a
little bit of help to continue to pave the way
as they continue to try to head toward the Big
(19:18):
twelve championship game and hopefully on into the college football playoffs.
The Colorado Buffs have needed help throughout this season, right
number eighteen, by the way, and the eight people, they
(19:41):
don't need anybody's help anymore, don't need help anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Schedules paved, you went out. It's yours. You control your
destiny now.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Thanks to three straight wins at Arizona Cincinnati at home
and at Texas Tech forty one twenty.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Seven coming down from I believe it was a ten to.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Nothing lead early thirteen nothing leader, excuse me, Texas Tech
had things started getting little uh, little hot under the
collar at thirteen nothing, and then Colorado came back and
put up forty one points with Texas Teach only getting
fourteen more the rest of the way. And really they
(20:20):
had the game in control the uh about the eight
minute mark in.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
The second quarter.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
After that it was once they scored the first touchdown
was thirteen to seven, then it was just they just
had the game in control from there. Shoodo Sanders finishes
two hundred ninety one yards three touchdowns on sixty nine
percent passing.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Travis Hunter nine catches ninety nine yards on a touchdown.
By the way, Hunter's going to be.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I mean, he is the prohibitive favorite at this point
for the Heisman if he stays healthy and continues to
play the way he's been playing.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, he has a case.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
For the Heisman in either position, corner or wide receiver,
and you combine them both, and I don't think anybody's
closed at Jati out.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Of Boise State, probably number two.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
And then whatever quarterback they decide to foist upon us
that week, whether it's cam Ward or Dylan Gabriel, usually
gets shoved into the conversation simply because they're a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, and cam Moore did not look great this week
against Georgia Tech did not did not.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Matter of fact, I didn't mind what he was sure
his best quarterback on the field. Haines King tackle.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
Right game time decision, he comes through and gets a
big upset. But yeah, I mean, when you hear the
likes of Charles Woodson and some of the other greats
of college football pass talk about Travis Hunter, they just
say how unbelievable what he is doing is.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
So, I mean, he's got to be your favorite to
win the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
I get that his offensive numbers aren't gaudy for a
wide receiver, but you got to put into play that
he's playing one hundred and thirty snaps a game, right,
he's doing he's just as dominant on the defensive side
as he is on the offensive side.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, they are good numbers on the offensive side. I mean,
he did have one hundred yards, but they spread the
ball around. Other guys just just spread around to you know,
other guys. They're just not gaudy numbers. They're a college
wide receiver, right, whereas Chanty has sort of gaudy numbers. Well,
come back down to earth. Over the last few weeks,
he's not averaging what ten yards of carry a first
down every time he touches the ball. But it's still
(22:08):
you know, when you look at you Anty, you don't
want to take anything away from that they broke.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
The Buffs have a good test against Utah coming up
at home.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Utah is still a decent team, even though they're only
four and five this year. There's still a very formidable
football team. Then you're at Kansas, who has had the
worst luck this season. They're they're kind of the anti
Kansas City Chiefs. I guess and the worst luck this season,
although they won this past week and it had helped
out what the Buffs needed to uh to continue as
(22:35):
they go along and ultimately have a destiny date with BYU.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
What happened? Did you see?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
I just saw the the everything after the Utah BYU game,
But apparently the ad got fined for talking crap about
the officials. Did you see what happened.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
With that game?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
I did not see what happened as far as that
kind of stuff goes BYU who got the winning field goal,
the late field goal with what was it like nine
seconds left, I think, and that was that was what
did it? They were you know, Utah I had a
twenty one ten lead at the half. They had a
twenty one ten lead at the half, and Utah just
couldn't get a second half point, couldn't score, and they
(23:20):
let BYU chip away and chip away and chip away,
and nine seconds left, b YU gets field goal and that's,
you know, the end of day.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Here's the quote from Utah athletic director Mark Harlan, who
was fined forty thousand dollars by the Big twelve. He said,
we were excited about being in the Big twelve. But
tonight I am not we won this game. Someone else
stole it from us. Very disappointed. Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I didn't see the end of that.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Mostly it was the box scores in the highlights, so
I didn't see the controversy in that game.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I was looking at some other stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
But I you know, I mean that's where this thing
is headed BYU versus Colorado down in the Big twelve championship.
I think if you're Colorado, you want or potentially want
Kansas State to keep winning. Makes that makes that game
look tougher because they're ranked, you know, football team. So
I don't think, you know, in terms of help, you
(24:16):
don't need any, but there are some things here or
there that you might might hope sort of happen. And
then the k State, who again by the selection committee,
is actually one slot ahead of Colorado right now, I
think you want them to keep winning for your strength
to schedule to look a little bit stronger. B Why
(24:37):
you sitting in the nine spot one of three undefeated
teams four undefeated team excuse me, left in the top
twenty five.
Speaker 6 (24:47):
You think Big twelve only gets one team for sure? Though,
Well you get one.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's a lock, you know, and then after that, I mean,
this kind of depends on how a lot of these
other things shake out. Indiana looks pretty good this year.
You know, Oregon is tad and know, you know, there's
some for sure teams that are in there. You know,
Notre Dame's got a case right now. There's there's some
there's some teams that have a case that I think
you need to put this thing lay out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
My beloved Army Black Knights at nine to oh. They
were in a tough one this weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
They uh, well, I wound up winning fourteen three at
North Texas, but.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
First time they've tray out all year.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well part of that was they had a thirteen minute
plus almost fourteen minute drive, ninety four yard thirteen minute
drive in that game that ate up an entire quarter.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I could not have been I thought that was just awesome.
The Benjamin Albright School of football, right oh.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I loved every every minute of it. Ate up an
entire an entire quarter running the football. They're not gaudy
offensive numbers, but they get it John, they get it done.
Rice and Daily went two of four for fifteen yards
and an interception. He did, however, run it six times
for one hundred and fifty three yards a two touchdowns
(26:02):
on the.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Ground, thirty six carries for your quarterback. That is wild.
It's bad. Man.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
They were up against North Texas and you know they
but Armies playing really well for being a service academy
that has all the disadvantages that they.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Have, and what a great story for college football if
they make it in that would be so awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
The fullback was the second leading carrier thirteen carries sixty
five yards only at Army.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, I just I'm.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Looking forward to They've got a date with Notre Dame
coming up here real soon and that's going to be
kind of the test November twenty third, So they got
a bye week to prep for Notre Dame and it's
at Notre Dame and that place.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
He is going to be hoppin'. Who's Notre Dame play
the week before that? Do you have their schedule in
front of you?
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Who does Notre Dame play this week? Off the top
of my head, I am not a hundred I do.
I can pull up their schedule, give me a second.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
They've got Virginia and there I'll see it pretty easy.
Went well, it's a home game for them too. They
got they had. They just beat Florida State fifty two
to three at home. God, Mike Norvell fired both the coordinators.
By the way, everyone to fire quarterback, Well, I've known
Mike Norvel since he was a wide receiver at Central Arkansas.
I've known him a long time, and I don't like
(27:22):
behind the scenes, DJ, you and his dad are the problem,
not anything else that's going on there, and they let
themselves get talked into taking him and it's it was
just it's just been a bad situation ever since.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
He fired both coordinators. I don't know if that saves anything.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Virginia five and four at Notre Dame this week, and
then of course the showdown with Army looming on on
November twenty third.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
That'll be must watch television. So Army is a tough.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Team to prep for, man, especially if you don't have
any extra time. Yeah, it's surprising people in South Bend
just saying, and they get the bye week, maybe, you know,
maybe just maybe we'll see how it goes. It's you
play against the Army, You're you're getting into forty or
fifty car crashes a game, and you know, Speaking of which,
let's go out to the Kerrey Travick Center and see
how many car crashes are after.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The highway with Davile brance.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh, we got a couple Monday night football going on,
Miami Dolphins taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Miami up
seven to nothing with buck twenty two left in the
first quarter. Rams driving right now. Talked a lot about
the Broncos. We'll get back into that one a little
bit about CU three six old wonders do the Heisman
(28:26):
voters look for when voting and why wouldn't Travis Hunter
win it?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Well, we got two Heisman voters at this station.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Both Nick Ferguson and Ryant Edwards are Heisman voters. I've
consistently tried to lobby Riot Edwards for different things over
the years, to no avail. We'll see if I can
influence mister Ferguson. And I don't know why either one
of those two wouldn't vote for Travis Hunter. Three ZHO
(28:52):
three says they watched the Utah EYU game and says
Utah got hosed and they believe they have a legitimate gripe.
I'm gonna have to dig in during the break, can
take a look at the other game on that I
just one.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I just did.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
I saw the stuff poured in on Twitter, but I
just didn't. I was too busy with some other things
at the time. We'll figure that one out. As far
as the Broncos go, though, I'm looking forward to talking
with to our guests tonight. Cody Roark and Parker Gabriel
both Gonda join us top of the next hour Cody
Roarke and then top of the eight o'clock hour will
have Parker Gabriel. Harrison Winn't gonna join us bottom of
(29:24):
the seven o'clock hour talk a little bit about the Nuggets.
I want to get into that because after a frankly
disastrous start, they've started to look much much better.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Five wins in a row, if I'm not mistaken, and
that seems odd.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
To me with the loss of Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Well, we'll get into it with him, see why exactly
they feel like that the Nuggets have found a spark
and how to keep that going. In terms of the Broncos,
I do want to ask both Cody and Parker about
this concerning lack of scoring in the second half half
from the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
What can we do to make sure that we're coming
out strong after the half?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Should Sean Payton script the second half because it feels
like this team comes out of the half a little
disjointed and then we don't see successful drives till the
very end of games. And to be fair, this isn't
a bon Nix problem because we saw it last year too.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
The Broncos couldn't get.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Anything going in the second and third quarter, where they're
one of the worst teams in the league in terms
of scoring, and then in the fourth quarter russ theatrics
would lead us to game winning drives and comebacks and
come back opportunities.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I don't believe it's a bow.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Knicks problem simply because it's a problem that has spanned
multiple quarterbacks. Maybe it happened to afflict both of those quarterbacks.
I just I just doubt it.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Before we get to the top of the hour break here,
I was trying to get Nick and Ryan to give
Russell Wilson some love during their show.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I'm gonna do it. They did not want to do it.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
But what do you think about how he's playing, how
he's come in, how he's dealt with the justin field
situation at the beginning of the year and how he's
looked overall with the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Here's well, And to be honest with you, in that game,
if you watch that Comanders game, he looked fire up.
He didn't look like Cornball Russ anymore. He looked like
a dude who was showing passion on a field. All
the people that were griping about the replacement of Justin
fields when Russell Wilson came in fields with the Steelers,
the Steelers averaged twenty points a game. Was Russell Wilson,
They're averaging thirty two. We already knew that the Steelers
(31:49):
had a high quality defense. The question was whether or
not the offense could score enough. And they are scoring.
So I you know, I happened to know from conversations
with coaches on that staff that I happen to know
that Russell Wilson was always gonna be the guy as
soon as he got back. That the media was making
that competition and training camp out to be more than
(32:10):
it was. That Russ was clearly the better quarterback. And
we're seeing that now. Does Russ have issues? Sure, And
you have a fan base that more or less feels
like they got burnt by the guy, so they're rooting
against him. I'm not rooting against Russell Wilson. I wish
him success every game he plays, except the Denver Broncos.
(32:32):
That's fun to see him out there succeeding and what
you know, and kind of a what could have been
sort of scenario. You know that I'm okay with Russ
having success out there. I don't have anything against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's not Russell Wilson's fault that Nate Hackett couldn't coach
and that Sean Payton didn't want him. They were incompatible
with each other. We've got bo Nicks now, I'm not
worried about it. Bisham's success rocks Country a night back
after this
