10-27-25 - Denver Destroys Dallas/Riley Moss: Yay or Nay, CU's debacle vs Utah/Nugs win, Avs lose 2x
October 27, 2025 • 43 mins
0:00 - HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!? Denver destroyed Dallas yesterday at Mile High and finally put on the offensive clinic we've been waiting for. Was this game more about Denver's offense going off, or Dallas' defensive issues?
14:23 - After 8 games, how do Broncos fans feel about Riley Moss? He drew a lot of criticism early in the season. Do those feeling still linger? Or are people a fan of his now?
After that, CU's game vs Utah was like a car crash. It was so awful and terrible, and yet we couldn't look away. How do you make sense of that horrible of a performance coming OFF A BYE WEEK!?
33:34 - The Avs went 0/2 on their east coast road trip, and lost back-to-back games in OT. So at least they get 2 points out of it. That's nice. But what's going on with the Avs? Why can't they win games in regulation?
On the flipside, the Nuggets had a DOMINANT performance against the Suns. Phoenix isn't good, but still, Denver took care of business and looked GOOD doin it.

This is Six in the Morning with Brett Caine on demand.
Check out Brett weekday mornings at six on Altitude Sports
Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio Act.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
You wanted a game to prove the Broncos were contenders.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You wanted a game to prove that they were going
to be in the mix, that they were going to
be a competitive team with higher aspirations than just being
okay or sneaking their way into the postseason. Well, a
game like that against the Cowboys does it. We knew
the things that the Cowboys couldn't do, but what could
(00:46):
they do?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They could score and.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Move the football and do a bunch of different things
that would make life difficult on a team that's struggling offensively.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
What the Broncos did.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Outside of I would say the first I don't know
five minutes of the game, because game starts and it's
like my nightmare fuel It's three plays into the game,
you throw an interception, Cowboys take over. They look like
(01:24):
they're just going to shove the ball down your throat
with Javonte Williams or four straight quarters they get to
the goal line to the Broncos defensive credit get a stop,
and then every moment after that was just like Broncos
in full control. Next two drives are touchdown drives, you
(01:46):
hold them to punts on two consecutive drives, you build
up a fourteen to three lead, and then it's just
kind of you take over. Ever since that moment, it
was all Broncos and they got whatever they wanted.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
On offense, bo Nicks.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Had a really good day, really good and outside that
first interception, where I'd love to hear if that first
pick on the throat to Bryant was a miss a
(02:30):
miscommunication if Bryant was supposed to sit down on that
route and instead he ran inside, or if Bo just
threw it behind him, because if both threw it behind him,
that's just a wildly terrible throw.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And whatever you think of bo.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Nicks, I don't think that he would make a throw
that bad. So I'm gonna believe that it was just
Rookie didn't do what bo Nicks thought he was going
to do, which was sit down and just.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Stay in that route.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Because if not, if that's the route he's supposed to
run and Bo just missed him, then Bo missed Pat
Bryant on what would have been a huge play now,
regardless of what the result of that play was, he
was lights out from there on out.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And Brett that interception. Do you remember what that play
call was?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
The RPO is frankly getting me. Yeah, I just are
it man? Okay?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Second that happened, I tweeted Andy Lindall and I said, Hey,
was that in RPO? Andy?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, Nelly, to Sean Payton's credit, all of the things
that were pissing us off early in the year about
RPOs and bubble screens and just are it man, they
worked in that game. The bubble screens even worked.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Now. I don't know about massive plays or what. Did
he say? How many big ones? How many big ones?
Tell me I'm good, tell me I'm good.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Hey count them?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How many big ones were there?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
If his definition of big plays in the screen game
are getting first downs, they had quite a few of those.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But there's not a lot to complain about today.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You did kind of everything. You ran the football well,
you had one hundred yard rusher again.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
JK.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Dobbins with an amazing game, and there were constant explosives
in the run game.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Dobbins had multiple twenty yard runs.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
R J.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Harvey had a forty yard er for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You had explosives in the pass game, and that game
was kind of spread around to multiple people. Troy Franklin
a big part of the past game. You got Pat
Bryant a couple of times involved Devin Ingram found the
football a few times.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You spread it around.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Defensively, You're still able to get after the quarterback. You
got two sacks and Dak Prescott, which is really difficult.
You made Dak Prescott look bad. And more than that,
you actually got turnovers, which is maybe the one big
criticism you could give the defense right at the course
of the years that they didn't actually get the football
(05:21):
back for their offense through turnovers. They forced plenty of puns,
but couldn't get that. And Javonte Williams. You know, I've
been very concerned about their run defense this year and
how they would hold up. You held Javonte was the
(05:43):
second leading rusher in the league heading into this weekend
thirteen carries for forty one yards. I think pretty much
everything went well. There's not a whole bunch of complaints,
nitpicks here and there, but that's it. The really great
(06:04):
thing about what happened over the weekend. And this is
what you want to see, is the season gets to
about the midway point or farther, you want to see
young players sort of stepping up and growing into the moment.
(06:26):
And in that case you had Pat Bryant with a
really good day, got his first touchdown, a couple of catches. Again,
I don't know if he had a miscommunication on that
first route or not when it was the third play
of the game, but he got involved.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
RJ.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Harvey with the big touchdown run for forty yards, also
got involved in the past game, got that touchdown that
late one which.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Was just.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
For Sean Payton. I think an f you touched out.
He just looked at the situation like, yeah, we're gonna win,
but I can punch one more in and f you
here you go.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So we got another one of those. John A.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Baron getting the interception. Was it like full extension jump
the route sort of pick? No, it was a bad throw,
but you know what, when it's there, make the catch. Yeah,
we finally got to use one of those. It's been
in the shadows. Point is you want sort of a
(07:38):
I don't know if I want to call this a
statement win, but it was. It reminds me a lot
of last year. You know, when you got a young quarterback.
Part of the issue is you just need to have
a game every once in a while that proves, yeah,
(07:58):
we can do this, and that's what it did. And
you can tell me worse defense than the league, don't care.
I do not care. You put up offense the way
that they did yesterday. Bad defense, Good defense, doesn't matter.
Four hundred and twenty six total yards, twenty five first downs,
(08:21):
and we're just in rhythm the entire game. It's one
of those rare ones where you dominated and time of
possession actually was in favor of the Cowboys because when
you had the football, you scored quick. First touchdown drive
was two minutes and twenty one seconds to go seventy
four yards. Second was two minutes and thirty nine seconds
(08:44):
to go sixty two. Third was sixty five yards in
three minutes and forty two seconds, and your fourth touchdown
drive was a minute thirty five to go seventy two yards.
Which the great thing about that is it proves that
you're capable of scoring in a hurry. And we kind
(09:05):
of knew that they they had the ability to hit
explosive plays and capitalize on them. But seeing it all
come together, like you guys know it just as well
as I do. If you have a defense that plays
(09:28):
to the level that the Broncos defense does, where I
don't know where they're at. You know, we're halfway through
the year. They've been mostly great, mixed in with some meth.
But if you have a defense that looks like they're
gonna finish top three in the league, and you mix
that with an offense that is capable of things like
(09:50):
this again a little bit of an anomaly because the
Cowboys defense is so bad. I mean, so many guys
were wide open in that game, wide open. But if
you're capable of this, you mix those two things together,
(10:11):
that's the kind of team that can mess around in
win a few playoff games and who knows what happens.
That's the kind of team that can win the AFC West.
That's the kind of team that can challenge for an
AFC championship. Now, consistency level needs to rise, has to
get better. But for a week, as I have over
(10:36):
and over again discussed the idea of this thing not
doing or this team not doing the little things right,
they had a week where they were outside of the
third play of the game, damn you a perfect So
(10:59):
three zero, five, four nine five. There's a ton more
to discuss with this game.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And also because it is a Rally House Victory Monday,
every show has a one hundred and fifty dollars Rally
House gift card to give away. Let's go, oh, we
got one keyword every hour. You know the drill. If
you don't know to listen on the twenties at this point,
what are we even doing here? So we do have
a keyword coming up next that I will give you
so you know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Very true, even if I don't say anything, just listen
on the twenties of every hour just in case because
I might throw something out there. But in this case,
Rally House Football Monday got a gift card Rally House
that will have with keywords on the twenties every hour
on every show. So it's that time of the year
(11:46):
where it's Broncos, it's Nuggets, it's Avs, it's college football,
it's everything. So we're gonna do our best to try
and filter through as much as we can because the
unemployment list in college football is rising quickly as you
got another huge name that joined the list yesterday as
Brian Kelly was let go from LSU. I have to
(12:09):
discuss what I watched on Saturday against Utah. It was
I'm not kidding when I say this, Nelly, when your
team gets their butt kicked, it's very easy just to
(12:29):
turn the television off and be like, all right, that's
enough for today. I get it. They lost. I couldn't
look away, And Nelly and people listening right now, you
know as well as I do. You get those games
that have eight fifteen, eight thirty starts, they're tough to
stay awake for the entire time. When I tell you,
(12:49):
I watched the all of the first three quarters of
that game before I finally said, all right, I'm good.
I just had to see what was going to continue.
So we'll get to that in a little bit. But
the main thing here is the Broncos win a football
game in which have felt like a little bit of,
(13:10):
if nothing else in offensive statement.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That we can do this for all four quarters.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
They scored fourteen in the first, thirteen in the second,
three in the third, and fourteen the fourth. Pretty damn consistent.
Now there are some other details that we have to
get to from that game. First of all, the hell's
going Oficer tan Is. I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
He is.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
That magic sort of thing that makes that defense go.
And the fact that he didn't return to the game.
I mean he did initially after that lower leg thing,
but then left with the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Thing didn't emerge from halftime.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We'll get to that in just a little bit, because
that's a big deal. But a lot to discuss in
this Rally House Football money. We have keywords on the
hour or on the twenties every hour for your chance
to win a rally House gift card. Get yourself all
geared up for whatever shop every team.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
In town and the Rams, Nuggets, Rockies and that exactly right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So we'll give you the first keyword in just a
minute Instagram.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Yeah. Forward, And I think the biggest thing. I thought
the work week was uniquely different, and I thought they
handled that challenge of that coming off of a crazy
comeback challenge. The numbers are awful and so I'm glad
we addressed it at the start of the week. Leaving
(14:46):
the stadium Sunday last week, you know, I remember reaching
out to Tony and I said I want the I
want the analytics, five minutes, you know, the whole and
then Joe Harrington literally put it in a sixty second
film every one of those events. And then the following week,
you know, the other team taking a knee, and so
(15:06):
our guys saw that right away, and they met the
challenge and they played well.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Sean Payton after the game. So a few details am.
We'll get to.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The the sort of nitty gritty of this in a second.
But because it is a rally house Victory Monday, we're
celebrating all day with keywords on the twenties. Every hour
we're giving away one hundred and fifty dollars gift card
on every show with those keywords and this word's key
how keyword is victory. Very simple, text victory in your
(15:45):
first and last name to three O three five four
O nine two five and stay tuned all day for
those keywords every hour. Again, the keyword for this hour
is victory. So text that in your first and last name.
The three oh three five oh four oh nine two
five will give away our first gift card at nine
fifty five this morning, as the Broncos totally dismantled the Cowboys,
(16:07):
and this is always what's nice. Are the Cowboys a
great football team? Probably not, But are they a bad one?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They are a decent, too good football team. Their offense
will give a lot of teams fits this year, and
you were able to hold.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Them in check.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Because your defense is also insanely talented. And here's one
of the names that I think is really interesting to
see what the reaction on this guy's going to be.
So I'm gonna give this a couple of like thirty seconds.
(16:50):
I'm gonna say a name, and I just want everybody
on the text line. This isn't necessarily a straw poll,
but this is like the Pavlov's Dog response here, So
and hit me with the the hotkeys, turn those hotkeeys
on real quick, just for me.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Thank you, straw Pa. It's not exactly a straw poll.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
But what I want is the first thing that comes
to your mind when I say this name, Riley Moss.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
What do you got for me? Because I'll give you.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
My exact thoughts on Riley Moss, but I feel like
there is a confusion in understanding him, and I also
feel like the fan base is split on what they
believe this guy to be so I say, Riley Moss,
you say what because there is a wild variance in
(17:57):
the things that I've seen from him. Whenever I open
up Twitter and something happens, he could make a great
pass breakup and people would say, yeah, this guy's great.
He gets called for PI and people think that guy's
a bum. So I want to know which side of
(18:18):
the fence you land on, and again in about ten seconds,
I'm gonna tell you which side I am. But I
want these to kind of come through Newy. Do me
a favor, just kind of. I know you're busy back
there because it's a mundane we're cutting up body, we're
doing this a whole bunch of stuff. Look at the
text line for me and just tally up just mentally.
Don't got to go through everyone, but just give me
(18:39):
a rough estimate of what people are saying, because a
lot of people are texting in right now.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Because here's my thought, Riley Moss is a good corner.
How's that he's good? He is very much worthy of.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
A starting roster spot, opposite of Patzertan. He's a competitor
and he's also going to get flagged. He entered the
game as the most flagged corner in the league. He
exited probably with a wider margin on that. But the
reason why bring this up is because I feel like
(19:28):
Riley Moss makes life difficult for the guy that he
is defending. And that's the point. Do the pis get
annoying at times? Yes, now in some ways. So he
gets called for his first PI. I think it was
his first PI of the game that was near the
goal line. Two plays later they go back at I
(19:53):
think it was Pickings as who he was covering, and
he goes up and I think he makes a great
play at the back pylon, like I think, perfectly defended
right in front of him, gets the hand up at
the right time, knocks the ball away, and they throw
another flag on him. And I feel like that's happened
to him multiple times this year, where he's just played
good defense.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And he is flagged for it.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The text line, it's looking like it's it's pretty overwhelmingly
positive reception to him. It's is maybe eighty twenty. There's
still some people that don't like what they saw from him,
but I mean, it's it's pretty it's pretty overwhelmingly positive.
A lot of people like him. I like somebody said
he's a dog with a short memory.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well, he said that after the game, he's like I,
I was blessed with a short memory, which you need
to have as a corner.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But he's gotta be like I just think, you know,
we've we've been through this before.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You play opposite, it's certan you're gonna be the guy
who gets picked on. So you're gonna have like the
big play come against you. You're gonna have the flags
come your way. You're gonna be You're gonna be guilt
of a lot of those things because you're the guy
after the guy, and it's always a difficult position to
(21:12):
be in. You know, I've talked about this in this
sense of Calin de boor over at Alabama seems like
a terrible like it's not a terrible job to take,
but as far as perception about your coaching acumen, you're
not gonna be Nick Saban, which automatically makes you a
bum in a lot of people's eyes. But when I
(21:33):
tell you he also he entered the game as the
most flag corner in the league. He also entered the
game as the number one corner in the NFL as
far as completion percentage against when his side is targeted,
when his guy is targeted, he held them before that game.
(21:57):
I don't know what the number is now to under
forty percent completion. That's not a bad corner. He's just
a very physical, handsy sort of cornerback that every once
in a while will get flagged. Can you take that?
(22:18):
Because I can. I will live with that every single day.
For a guy that wants to compete, I will live
with that every single day. Texter says, what's the update
on certain I don't think there is one yet. He
left the game with a shoulder problem and he's set
(22:39):
for tests, I believe today, or maybe it was last night,
but I don't think it was last night.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Probably today. He has a left shoulder injury.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
And he's gonna undergo tests, including an MRI to determine
the severity.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Of the injury. But yeah, I don't know. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
But I say this to tell you if Sir Tan
has to miss time, am I comfortable with Riley Moss
being the number one?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Look, it's not ideal.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
You want your number one corner to be Pats or
Tan because everything starts with him. You saw what they
were doing yesterday. They were doing the old Patriots thing,
doubling Ceedee Lamb and leaving your number one corner on
the number two wide out on an island, and the
second he left you to change some things up. But
I think that Riley Moss filled in really well. It's
(23:44):
gonna take time, so it's a hard position to learn.
But I am a Riley Moss fan in a big way.
I think that he's always sticky in coverage. When he
does get beat, like he's getting burnt. For the most part,
he's always in position. It's just a matter of can
(24:05):
I get my hand in the right spot or not.
And I accept that he's gonna get, you know, a
flag or two because of the nature of how he
plays the position, which is something that I prefer. I
don't think any wide receiver looks forward to going up
against him.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I think those guys get upset.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Then.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
One of the funniest things is when you're up thirty
points or whatever it was against the Cowboys and George
Pickens catches a first down and then he starts.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I saw this in a few games over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But George Pickens gets up and he starts jumping around
and celebrating as if you know, he got the game
tying touchdown. I still don't understand how they do that.
I watched it in the CU game, by the way,
I forget who it was.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Somebody got a.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Sack when they're down forty three to nothing at a
half time and started jumping around and beating his chest.
I was like, all right, you're down forty three points.
Don't think this is the time for it, which actually
leads me. You know, I was gonna say this for later,
but let's just get to it. I have to talk
about the CU game for a second because I want
to relay sort of a message here, So before we
(25:34):
do that, the keyword for this hour for a chance
to win one hundred and fifty bucks to rally house.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Is victory.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Text victory in your first and last name to three
oh three five, four nine two five will give away
that one hundred and fifty dollars gift card at nine
to fifty five this morning. Keyword every hour on the twenties.
I couldn't take my eyes off the CU game.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
And there's a couple of reasons as to why Utah
is not that much better than you. I don't care
what anybody says they are not. What's really concerning is that, Nelly,
that happened the week after a bye. You had two
weeks to prepare for that game to know what that
(26:20):
team was gonna throw at you, and that happened like
something I've never seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Do you guys remember what the halftime totals were?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Three hundred and eighty six total yards and forty three
points for Utah in a half to negative eighteen. Never happen,
not to my knowledge, never happened. I don't think I've
ever seen that before.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, did you see?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Coach Sandford was tweeting about that game because his last
game as interim head coach filling in before Dion was hired,
was at CU and it was it was brutal. It
was what like sixty three to twenty one. Yeah, And
he said that they actually had a better first half
in that game than say, you did on Saturday. Utah
(27:17):
scored fewer points and that game ended with see you
getting twenty one points on the board in the second half,
Coach Sanford got the boys rolling.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
So allow me to make just a quick comparison, and
I don't mean this to be a history lesson. This
will only take a second, but it's going to accentuate the.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
There was a German born soldier by the name of
Siegfried Mueller. He did a whole bunch of things. He
served in World War Two for the bad guys. He
immigrated to South Africa and then he made his way
(27:59):
up to the Congo. Congo had this crisis back in
the sixties in which there was turmoil within the country.
Christians were being killed a whole bunch of different things.
Siegfried Mueller Nelly was the leader of a mercenary mercenary
military group, so they were hired to help out, and
(28:20):
in nineteen sixty four it's coined as the Congo Mutiny
that the mercenaries no longer believed in Siegfried Mueller, who
was there the leader of their group, and they protested
against him and refused to fight. Here's the point I'm
trying to make. Mercenaries do this. Do you want to
(28:43):
know why? Because they have no real connection to the
cause that they're fighting for. What do mercenaries fight for?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Money?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Please? Money?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
It's one of the concerns that you have, and I
think it's one of the reasons why the Utah game
got to where it was. See you has hired mercenaries.
You go in the transfer portal, you offer a guy
a few bucks, they come over, they play for you.
But when a game gets out of hand, do they
(29:19):
care about the look that that has for the university
or are they out there just trying to get their checks?
And I'll tell you this much, Nelly, I saw a
clip in which Dion kind of referenced that after the game, saying,
guys are concerned about how they look and how much
(29:40):
they're getting paid, but you need to play well to
earn the paycheck. I'm paraphrasing because they don't have the
quote in front of me, but he said something like that.
Mercenaries don't care about your cause or the way it
makes you look. They care about getting stuff themselves. I'm
(30:01):
not saying that's the case for all of these guys
on CEO's roster, but I'll tell you this much, there's
a personal pride that comes to getting your butt kicked
that way, and it ain't just about yourself, it's about
your team.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
When you don't feel that connection, things can get out
of hand in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
You know, there's a really good documentary show I'm sure
you guys have watched it before, called Last Chance You
on Netflix where all these guys are cast off from
D one programs. They go to some junior college in
Kansas and they transfer there with the entire idea is
(30:47):
I'm gonna get back to D one. But when a
season gets out of hand, they don't care how it
looks for the school.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
They're only concerned about themselves and all around. That was
embarrassing because if you're Chad Brown, if you're.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Uh, Tyler Columbus, Tyler Columbus, if you're my boy Mark
is Washington, if you're any one of these guys that's
watching your alma mater get beat that way, they feel
something about that. It makes them hurt. But I don't
(31:26):
think it bothers the guys that transferred in and again,
to a certain extent, it's what CU has to do.
I'm not criticizing the process of it. I'm just letting
you know that's how it can get to a place
like this.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I gotta give you credit, by the way, Brett, when
you started pulling out World War Two mercenaries like everybody
knows you never go full moje.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
You just went full moje, but to your credit, you
actually landed the plane. I see where you're going.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
But it's just when you hire mercenaries. Mercenaries don't care
about your cause.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
They care about the money and they care about their
own Like what are they most concerned with? More than
anything else? Beyond the money, They're concerned with getting out
of their live. They don't want to die for something
they don't believe in, So let's do the job, get
out of here, and get paid.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's the concerns.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And I just felt like I watched a lot of
that against Utah there didn't feel like there was a
personal connection to the way they were getting beat. So anyway,
that's my two cents and see you. And by the way,
(32:35):
anybody questioning is Dion going to be like yo, you're insane.
He's not going to be let go. It would take
about fifteen more of those games for Dion to be
let go. But Dion has I mean that game is
a coaching thing. I mean, you were woefully unprepared off
of a bye week against a team that you knew
(32:57):
was going to be physical against you.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So a lot more to discuss with that game as well.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Three O three five oh four O nine two five
One more reminder, the keywords for this hour is victory,
So tech set in your first and last name the
three oh three five four O nine to two five
for a chance to win one hundred and fifty dollars
gift card to rally House. A lot more to discuss
from the NFL weekend. I do want to get to
the Avs and Nuggets as well as the Avs.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I hate games to go to overtime because you just
you lose all the time, and the Nuggets, with a
huge bounce back, gets all that in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Instagram kill a.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Car knocked down by natchus oh back door turnover they score,
Jack Hues Tavalanchern absolute mess in overtime, a ton of
turnovers and they just can't get the second point they
get one could have in two. It's a four to
(33:56):
three win and overtime for the New Jersey Devils.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Off over to Christian Brown top of the key. Now
it's Jokich.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Jokich over to Camp.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Johnson goes baseline, great pass to Gordon.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
Stop right handed Tamaha the Nuggets lead at one twenty
one to ninety nine with four o five left to
go in the game on an eleven nothing wrong And
for the first time this year.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
This thing is OVA.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's a rally house Football Monday and Altitude Sports Radio

Speaker 4 (34:54):
So, and by the way, how long are we still
able to say that that's the Stanley Cuver rematch game?
Because it's been three years? Are we still allowed to say? Oh,
Stanley Cup? So not too much time going down? Okay,
So the statute of limitations is passed.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
So it's not a rematch, it's a you could say
the how did they do it?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Hey, this is.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
A rematch of the twenty twenty two you know what
I mean? Like you can do that the year Yes,
you gotta do the year now to the Avs and Nuggets.
We'll start with the Avs. They get to overtime, they lose.
That's just it's it's a sign from God. Now is
that if you don't win the game and regulation, you're
(35:37):
done for. There are certainly issues that the Avs have
right now that they need to get fixed. They had
this great start to the year and it's kind of
dwindled over the last few games. The problem becomes this,
(35:59):
fix the power play. You fix your issues. Their power
play has just been atrocious throughout this entire stretch of games,
and it was a problem even at the beginning of
the year when you were winning, but it's even more
highlighted in the losses. The AVS power play is one
for its last twenty four and for something that we
(36:21):
identified as maybe the main problem from last year, to
have that continue to be a problem is an even
bigger problem.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
So that needs to get fixed the second that does.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All of these games, like I think all of them
would all be w's if your power play's fixed. They're
all one goal losses, with only one of them being
in regulation, the rest of those being in a shootout.
There's no question that I think that solves a multitude
of problems. Still waiting for McKenzie Blackwood to get healthy too.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
That matters.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Fix the power play and you fix this issue now
when it comes to actual overtimes. I don't know you
guys feel about it like I'm I know there's an
extra point that's involved in ots, and they've had an
odd number of overtime games already to start this year.
I don't want to get too bogged down in the
overtime sort of strategy stuff because I don't think it's
(37:22):
it's very common, despite what's happened early in the season.
The one thing I will say is for Nate McKinnon
being one of, if not the best players in the world,
I think he gets way too risky in a game
that's just about puck possession in OT like, he gets
(37:44):
too antsy, like he tried to go it looked like
between the legs of the defender in OT, which led
to the breakout going the other direction. And I think
he just takes chances where they don't have to. Really
good overtime teams are teams that aren't trying to make
(38:05):
a great play. They're just trying to wear you out
and find one little open slot for a shot, try
and get you on a two on one. Like the
teams that are really good at it are teams that
like to keep possession of the puck for most of
the period. It's annoying to watch, but it's the proper strategy,
(38:27):
and I just don't think McKennon has a patience for it.
He's not going to take a puck in the zone
and then take it back out. He is going to
find a way to weave between three guys for a shot,
and I just think sometimes that leads to breakouts which
are not good for you. So that's just a quick
sort of excerpt.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
On the Avs part of things.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
To the Nuggets, that win against the Suns was exactly
what you hoped for and basically every single way everybody
in the starting five was involved. Jamal through the first
couple of games looks awesome. Christian Brown was involved in
the scoring. Cam Johnson was involved in the scoring. But
(39:08):
more than anything else, guys, here's the best part of it.
You have a legitimate bench. Now, God is it good
to see Brucey be back here? As he poured it,
excuse me, poured in eleven points in that game. Jonas
Valanciunas is a legitimate center in this league that is
(39:30):
now a backup for you. And again, it's a game
where you only got thirteen minutes. I want those minutes
to tick up for him. I still want to see
like the the Twin Towers look with both him and
Jokic on the floor. But he looks great. Peyton Watson,
to me, looks like he's trying to take another step
(39:53):
in the evolution of his game where he's taking the
ball up the floor sometimes, which is an interesting little wrinkle.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
There's just everything that.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
I was hoping for I got from the Sun's game,
and everybody's pointing to the Jokics triple double where he
only put up eight shots in the game. I think
only won in the first half. I think that style
of play is exactly what you want. How many times
have we seen the Yokic game where he is a
sixty point triple double and you lose the ideal way
(40:26):
for this team to play.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
And this is what I said before the season started.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
If Jokic's numbers, especially in the point category, take a dip,
it's a good thing for this team because he's not
going to be asked to carry that much of a
load for them to get a win. Now, do you
want him shooting one time and a half? No, But
we've all seen Yokic early in the season. He has
a game like this every year where he's just like,
(40:50):
I'm not shooting today, so I'm just gonna keep passing
and hopefully you guys knock down shots.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
And here's the good news. They did. Let's go one
hundred and thirty three.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
And the super nit picker is gonna tell me, oh, well,
they only took thirty one threes and they only made
nine of them. They scored one hundred and thirty three points.
Not concerned, and they were a better three point shooting
team this year. That will get figured out. What did
ag not go ten of eleven from three in this game?
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Boohoo? One hundred and thirty three points. But it's always
funny to.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Me, Nelly, when I watched the discourse from people outside
of Denver talking about Nicola Jokic, and it's the fans
that I hate on NBA Twitter because they're all about
highlight reels and they're like, what's.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
This little game that Jokic is playing? What is only
scoring fourteen points. Somebody called the FBI cash PTTEL. I
don't know who that person is.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
That sounds like that, by the way, but that's what
I imagine in my head. I'm like, you just do
you guys not understand Yokic's game? Like he's been the
league for over a decade. He always does this when
the team is operating at its peak. Jokic doesn't shoot
and he distributes. That's how it's always been. So a
(42:13):
lot more to discussed for that game as well, Gow,
we got a million things to talk about. Didn't even
talk about Scattapoo and his leg being backwards in the
middle of that game in New York.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
The Jets, Hey Bretty and his bets.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
What I call for the underdog of the week, Nelly,
Did I say that the Jets had a chance to
get their first dub this weekend?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You're welcome. Oh what was the Brett coin lock of

got lucky anyway.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You wanted a game to prove the Broncos were contenders.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You wanted a game to prove that they were going
to be in the mix, that they were going to
be a competitive team with higher aspirations than just being
okay or sneaking their way into the postseason. Well, a
game like that against the Cowboys does it. We knew
the things that the Cowboys couldn't do, but what could
(00:46):
they do?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They could score and.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Move the football and do a bunch of different things
that would make life difficult on a team that's struggling offensively.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
What the Broncos did.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Outside of I would say the first I don't know
five minutes of the game, because game starts and it's
like my nightmare fuel It's three plays into the game,
you throw an interception, Cowboys take over. They look like
(01:24):
they're just going to shove the ball down your throat
with Javonte Williams or four straight quarters they get to
the goal line to the Broncos defensive credit get a stop,
and then every moment after that was just like Broncos
in full control. Next two drives are touchdown drives, you
(01:46):
hold them to punts on two consecutive drives, you build
up a fourteen to three lead, and then it's just
kind of you take over. Ever since that moment, it
was all Broncos and they got whatever they wanted.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
On offense, bo Nicks.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Had a really good day, really good and outside that
first interception, where I'd love to hear if that first
pick on the throat to Bryant was a miss a
(02:30):
miscommunication if Bryant was supposed to sit down on that
route and instead he ran inside, or if Bo just
threw it behind him, because if both threw it behind him,
that's just a wildly terrible throw.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And whatever you think of bo.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Nicks, I don't think that he would make a throw
that bad. So I'm gonna believe that it was just
Rookie didn't do what bo Nicks thought he was going
to do, which was sit down and just.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Stay in that route.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Because if not, if that's the route he's supposed to
run and Bo just missed him, then Bo missed Pat
Bryant on what would have been a huge play now,
regardless of what the result of that play was, he
was lights out from there on out.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
And Brett that interception. Do you remember what that play
call was?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
The RPO is frankly getting me. Yeah, I just are
it man? Okay?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Second that happened, I tweeted Andy Lindall and I said, Hey,
was that in RPO? Andy?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, Nelly, to Sean Payton's credit, all of the things
that were pissing us off early in the year about
RPOs and bubble screens and just are it man, they
worked in that game. The bubble screens even worked.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Now. I don't know about massive plays or what. Did
he say? How many big ones? How many big ones?
Tell me I'm good, tell me I'm good.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Hey count them?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How many big ones were there?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
If his definition of big plays in the screen game
are getting first downs, they had quite a few of those.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But there's not a lot to complain about today.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You did kind of everything. You ran the football well,
you had one hundred yard rusher again.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
JK.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Dobbins with an amazing game, and there were constant explosives
in the run game.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Dobbins had multiple twenty yard runs.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
R J.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Harvey had a forty yard er for a touchdown.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You had explosives in the pass game, and that game
was kind of spread around to multiple people. Troy Franklin
a big part of the past game. You got Pat
Bryant a couple of times involved Devin Ingram found the
football a few times.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You spread it around.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Defensively, You're still able to get after the quarterback. You
got two sacks and Dak Prescott, which is really difficult.
You made Dak Prescott look bad. And more than that,
you actually got turnovers, which is maybe the one big
criticism you could give the defense right at the course
of the years that they didn't actually get the football
(05:21):
back for their offense through turnovers. They forced plenty of puns,
but couldn't get that. And Javonte Williams. You know, I've
been very concerned about their run defense this year and
how they would hold up. You held Javonte was the
(05:43):
second leading rusher in the league heading into this weekend
thirteen carries for forty one yards. I think pretty much
everything went well. There's not a whole bunch of complaints,
nitpicks here and there, but that's it. The really great
(06:04):
thing about what happened over the weekend. And this is
what you want to see, is the season gets to
about the midway point or farther, you want to see
young players sort of stepping up and growing into the moment.
(06:26):
And in that case you had Pat Bryant with a
really good day, got his first touchdown, a couple of catches. Again,
I don't know if he had a miscommunication on that
first route or not when it was the third play
of the game, but he got involved.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
RJ.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Harvey with the big touchdown run for forty yards, also
got involved in the past game, got that touchdown that
late one which.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Was just.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
For Sean Payton. I think an f you touched out.
He just looked at the situation like, yeah, we're gonna win,
but I can punch one more in and f you
here you go.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So we got another one of those. John A.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Baron getting the interception. Was it like full extension jump
the route sort of pick? No, it was a bad throw,
but you know what, when it's there, make the catch. Yeah,
we finally got to use one of those. It's been
in the shadows. Point is you want sort of a
(07:38):
I don't know if I want to call this a
statement win, but it was. It reminds me a lot
of last year. You know, when you got a young quarterback.
Part of the issue is you just need to have
a game every once in a while that proves, yeah,
(07:58):
we can do this, and that's what it did. And
you can tell me worse defense than the league, don't care.
I do not care. You put up offense the way
that they did yesterday. Bad defense, Good defense, doesn't matter.
Four hundred and twenty six total yards, twenty five first downs,
(08:21):
and we're just in rhythm the entire game. It's one
of those rare ones where you dominated and time of
possession actually was in favor of the Cowboys because when
you had the football, you scored quick. First touchdown drive
was two minutes and twenty one seconds to go seventy
four yards. Second was two minutes and thirty nine seconds
(08:44):
to go sixty two. Third was sixty five yards in
three minutes and forty two seconds, and your fourth touchdown
drive was a minute thirty five to go seventy two yards.
Which the great thing about that is it proves that
you're capable of scoring in a hurry. And we kind
(09:05):
of knew that they they had the ability to hit
explosive plays and capitalize on them. But seeing it all
come together, like you guys know it just as well
as I do. If you have a defense that plays
(09:28):
to the level that the Broncos defense does, where I
don't know where they're at. You know, we're halfway through
the year. They've been mostly great, mixed in with some meth.
But if you have a defense that looks like they're
gonna finish top three in the league, and you mix
that with an offense that is capable of things like
(09:50):
this again a little bit of an anomaly because the
Cowboys defense is so bad. I mean, so many guys
were wide open in that game, wide open. But if
you're capable of this, you mix those two things together,
(10:11):
that's the kind of team that can mess around in
win a few playoff games and who knows what happens.
That's the kind of team that can win the AFC West.
That's the kind of team that can challenge for an
AFC championship. Now, consistency level needs to rise, has to
get better. But for a week, as I have over
(10:36):
and over again discussed the idea of this thing not
doing or this team not doing the little things right,
they had a week where they were outside of the
third play of the game, damn you a perfect So
(10:59):
three zero, five, four nine five. There's a ton more
to discuss with this game.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And also because it is a Rally House Victory Monday,
every show has a one hundred and fifty dollars Rally
House gift card to give away. Let's go, oh, we
got one keyword every hour. You know the drill. If
you don't know to listen on the twenties at this point,
what are we even doing here? So we do have
a keyword coming up next that I will give you
so you know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Very true, even if I don't say anything, just listen
on the twenties of every hour just in case because
I might throw something out there. But in this case,
Rally House Football Monday got a gift card Rally House
that will have with keywords on the twenties every hour
on every show. So it's that time of the year
(11:46):
where it's Broncos, it's Nuggets, it's Avs, it's college football,
it's everything. So we're gonna do our best to try
and filter through as much as we can because the
unemployment list in college football is rising quickly as you
got another huge name that joined the list yesterday as
Brian Kelly was let go from LSU. I have to
(12:09):
discuss what I watched on Saturday against Utah. It was
I'm not kidding when I say this, Nelly, when your
team gets their butt kicked, it's very easy just to
(12:29):
turn the television off and be like, all right, that's
enough for today. I get it. They lost. I couldn't
look away, And Nelly and people listening right now, you
know as well as I do. You get those games
that have eight fifteen, eight thirty starts, they're tough to
stay awake for the entire time. When I tell you,
(12:49):
I watched the all of the first three quarters of
that game before I finally said, all right, I'm good.
I just had to see what was going to continue.
So we'll get to that in a little bit. But
the main thing here is the Broncos win a football
game in which have felt like a little bit of,
(13:10):
if nothing else in offensive statement.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
That we can do this for all four quarters.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
They scored fourteen in the first, thirteen in the second,
three in the third, and fourteen the fourth. Pretty damn consistent.
Now there are some other details that we have to
get to from that game. First of all, the hell's
going Oficer tan Is. I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
He is.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
That magic sort of thing that makes that defense go.
And the fact that he didn't return to the game.
I mean he did initially after that lower leg thing,
but then left with the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Thing didn't emerge from halftime.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
We'll get to that in just a little bit, because
that's a big deal. But a lot to discuss in
this Rally House Football money. We have keywords on the
hour or on the twenties every hour for your chance
to win a rally House gift card. Get yourself all
geared up for whatever shop every team.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
In town and the Rams, Nuggets, Rockies and that exactly right.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So we'll give you the first keyword in just a
minute Instagram.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Yeah. Forward, And I think the biggest thing. I thought
the work week was uniquely different, and I thought they
handled that challenge of that coming off of a crazy
comeback challenge. The numbers are awful and so I'm glad
we addressed it at the start of the week. Leaving
(14:46):
the stadium Sunday last week, you know, I remember reaching
out to Tony and I said I want the I
want the analytics, five minutes, you know, the whole and
then Joe Harrington literally put it in a sixty second
film every one of those events. And then the following week,
you know, the other team taking a knee, and so
(15:06):
our guys saw that right away, and they met the
challenge and they played well.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Sean Payton after the game. So a few details am.
We'll get to.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The the sort of nitty gritty of this in a second.
But because it is a rally house Victory Monday, we're
celebrating all day with keywords on the twenties. Every hour
we're giving away one hundred and fifty dollars gift card
on every show with those keywords and this word's key
how keyword is victory. Very simple, text victory in your
(15:45):
first and last name to three O three five four
O nine two five and stay tuned all day for
those keywords every hour. Again, the keyword for this hour
is victory. So text that in your first and last name.
The three oh three five oh four oh nine two
five will give away our first gift card at nine
fifty five this morning, as the Broncos totally dismantled the Cowboys,
(16:07):
and this is always what's nice. Are the Cowboys a
great football team? Probably not, But are they a bad one?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They are a decent, too good football team. Their offense
will give a lot of teams fits this year, and
you were able to hold.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Them in check.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Because your defense is also insanely talented. And here's one
of the names that I think is really interesting to
see what the reaction on this guy's going to be.
So I'm gonna give this a couple of like thirty seconds.
(16:50):
I'm gonna say a name, and I just want everybody
on the text line. This isn't necessarily a straw poll,
but this is like the Pavlov's Dog response here, So
and hit me with the the hotkeys, turn those hotkeeys
on real quick, just for me.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Thank you, straw Pa. It's not exactly a straw poll.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
But what I want is the first thing that comes
to your mind when I say this name, Riley Moss.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
What do you got for me? Because I'll give you.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
My exact thoughts on Riley Moss, but I feel like
there is a confusion in understanding him, and I also
feel like the fan base is split on what they
believe this guy to be so I say, Riley Moss,
you say what because there is a wild variance in
(17:57):
the things that I've seen from him. Whenever I open
up Twitter and something happens, he could make a great
pass breakup and people would say, yeah, this guy's great.
He gets called for PI and people think that guy's
a bum. So I want to know which side of
(18:18):
the fence you land on, and again in about ten seconds,
I'm gonna tell you which side I am. But I
want these to kind of come through Newy. Do me
a favor, just kind of. I know you're busy back
there because it's a mundane we're cutting up body, we're
doing this a whole bunch of stuff. Look at the
text line for me and just tally up just mentally.
Don't got to go through everyone, but just give me
(18:39):
a rough estimate of what people are saying, because a
lot of people are texting in right now.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Because here's my thought, Riley Moss is a good corner.
How's that he's good? He is very much worthy of.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
A starting roster spot, opposite of Patzertan. He's a competitor
and he's also going to get flagged. He entered the
game as the most flagged corner in the league. He
exited probably with a wider margin on that. But the
reason why bring this up is because I feel like
(19:28):
Riley Moss makes life difficult for the guy that he
is defending. And that's the point. Do the pis get
annoying at times? Yes, now in some ways. So he
gets called for his first PI. I think it was
his first PI of the game that was near the
goal line. Two plays later they go back at I
(19:53):
think it was Pickings as who he was covering, and
he goes up and I think he makes a great
play at the back pylon, like I think, perfectly defended
right in front of him, gets the hand up at
the right time, knocks the ball away, and they throw
another flag on him. And I feel like that's happened
to him multiple times this year, where he's just played
good defense.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
And he is flagged for it.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
The text line, it's looking like it's it's pretty overwhelmingly
positive reception to him. It's is maybe eighty twenty. There's
still some people that don't like what they saw from him,
but I mean, it's it's pretty it's pretty overwhelmingly positive.
A lot of people like him. I like somebody said
he's a dog with a short memory.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Well, he said that after the game, he's like I,
I was blessed with a short memory, which you need
to have as a corner.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But he's gotta be like I just think, you know,
we've we've been through this before.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You play opposite, it's certan you're gonna be the guy
who gets picked on. So you're gonna have like the
big play come against you. You're gonna have the flags
come your way. You're gonna be You're gonna be guilt
of a lot of those things because you're the guy
after the guy, and it's always a difficult position to
(21:12):
be in. You know, I've talked about this in this
sense of Calin de boor over at Alabama seems like
a terrible like it's not a terrible job to take,
but as far as perception about your coaching acumen, you're
not gonna be Nick Saban, which automatically makes you a
bum in a lot of people's eyes. But when I
(21:33):
tell you he also he entered the game as the
most flag corner in the league. He also entered the
game as the number one corner in the NFL as
far as completion percentage against when his side is targeted,
when his guy is targeted, he held them before that game.
(21:57):
I don't know what the number is now to under
forty percent completion. That's not a bad corner. He's just
a very physical, handsy sort of cornerback that every once
in a while will get flagged. Can you take that?
(22:18):
Because I can. I will live with that every single day.
For a guy that wants to compete, I will live
with that every single day. Texter says, what's the update
on certain I don't think there is one yet. He
left the game with a shoulder problem and he's set
(22:39):
for tests, I believe today, or maybe it was last night,
but I don't think it was last night.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Probably today. He has a left shoulder injury.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
And he's gonna undergo tests, including an MRI to determine
the severity.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Of the injury. But yeah, I don't know. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
But I say this to tell you if Sir Tan
has to miss time, am I comfortable with Riley Moss
being the number one?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Look, it's not ideal.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
You want your number one corner to be Pats or
Tan because everything starts with him. You saw what they
were doing yesterday. They were doing the old Patriots thing,
doubling Ceedee Lamb and leaving your number one corner on
the number two wide out on an island, and the
second he left you to change some things up. But
I think that Riley Moss filled in really well. It's
(23:44):
gonna take time, so it's a hard position to learn.
But I am a Riley Moss fan in a big way.
I think that he's always sticky in coverage. When he
does get beat, like he's getting burnt. For the most part,
he's always in position. It's just a matter of can
(24:05):
I get my hand in the right spot or not.
And I accept that he's gonna get, you know, a
flag or two because of the nature of how he
plays the position, which is something that I prefer. I
don't think any wide receiver looks forward to going up
against him.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I think those guys get upset.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Then.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
One of the funniest things is when you're up thirty
points or whatever it was against the Cowboys and George
Pickens catches a first down and then he starts.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I saw this in a few games over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
But George Pickens gets up and he starts jumping around
and celebrating as if you know, he got the game
tying touchdown. I still don't understand how they do that.
I watched it in the CU game, by the way,
I forget who it was.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Somebody got a.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Sack when they're down forty three to nothing at a
half time and started jumping around and beating his chest.
I was like, all right, you're down forty three points.
Don't think this is the time for it, which actually
leads me. You know, I was gonna say this for later,
but let's just get to it. I have to talk
about the CU game for a second because I want
to relay sort of a message here, So before we
(25:34):
do that, the keyword for this hour for a chance
to win one hundred and fifty bucks to rally house.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Is victory.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Text victory in your first and last name to three
oh three five, four nine two five will give away
that one hundred and fifty dollars gift card at nine
to fifty five this morning. Keyword every hour on the twenties.
I couldn't take my eyes off the CU game.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
And there's a couple of reasons as to why Utah
is not that much better than you. I don't care
what anybody says they are not. What's really concerning is that, Nelly,
that happened the week after a bye. You had two
weeks to prepare for that game to know what that
(26:20):
team was gonna throw at you, and that happened like
something I've never seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Do you guys remember what the halftime totals were?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Three hundred and eighty six total yards and forty three
points for Utah in a half to negative eighteen. Never happen,
not to my knowledge, never happened. I don't think I've
ever seen that before.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, did you see?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Coach Sandford was tweeting about that game because his last
game as interim head coach filling in before Dion was hired,
was at CU and it was it was brutal. It
was what like sixty three to twenty one. Yeah, And
he said that they actually had a better first half
in that game than say, you did on Saturday. Utah
(27:17):
scored fewer points and that game ended with see you
getting twenty one points on the board in the second half,
Coach Sanford got the boys rolling.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
So allow me to make just a quick comparison, and
I don't mean this to be a history lesson. This
will only take a second, but it's going to accentuate the.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
There was a German born soldier by the name of
Siegfried Mueller. He did a whole bunch of things. He
served in World War Two for the bad guys. He
immigrated to South Africa and then he made his way
(27:59):
up to the Congo. Congo had this crisis back in
the sixties in which there was turmoil within the country.
Christians were being killed a whole bunch of different things.
Siegfried Mueller Nelly was the leader of a mercenary mercenary
military group, so they were hired to help out, and
(28:20):
in nineteen sixty four it's coined as the Congo Mutiny
that the mercenaries no longer believed in Siegfried Mueller, who
was there the leader of their group, and they protested
against him and refused to fight. Here's the point I'm
trying to make. Mercenaries do this. Do you want to
(28:43):
know why? Because they have no real connection to the
cause that they're fighting for. What do mercenaries fight for?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Money?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Please? Money?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
It's one of the concerns that you have, and I
think it's one of the reasons why the Utah game
got to where it was. See you has hired mercenaries.
You go in the transfer portal, you offer a guy
a few bucks, they come over, they play for you.
But when a game gets out of hand, do they
(29:19):
care about the look that that has for the university
or are they out there just trying to get their checks?
And I'll tell you this much, Nelly, I saw a
clip in which Dion kind of referenced that after the game, saying,
guys are concerned about how they look and how much
(29:40):
they're getting paid, but you need to play well to
earn the paycheck. I'm paraphrasing because they don't have the
quote in front of me, but he said something like that.
Mercenaries don't care about your cause or the way it
makes you look. They care about getting stuff themselves. I'm
(30:01):
not saying that's the case for all of these guys
on CEO's roster, but I'll tell you this much, there's
a personal pride that comes to getting your butt kicked
that way, and it ain't just about yourself, it's about
your team.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
When you don't feel that connection, things can get out
of hand in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
You know, there's a really good documentary show I'm sure
you guys have watched it before, called Last Chance You
on Netflix where all these guys are cast off from
D one programs. They go to some junior college in
Kansas and they transfer there with the entire idea is
(30:47):
I'm gonna get back to D one. But when a
season gets out of hand, they don't care how it
looks for the school.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
They're only concerned about themselves and all around. That was
embarrassing because if you're Chad Brown, if you're.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Uh, Tyler Columbus, Tyler Columbus, if you're my boy Mark
is Washington, if you're any one of these guys that's
watching your alma mater get beat that way, they feel
something about that. It makes them hurt. But I don't
(31:26):
think it bothers the guys that transferred in and again,
to a certain extent, it's what CU has to do.
I'm not criticizing the process of it. I'm just letting
you know that's how it can get to a place
like this.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
I gotta give you credit, by the way, Brett, when
you started pulling out World War Two mercenaries like everybody
knows you never go full moje.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
You just went full moje, but to your credit, you
actually landed the plane. I see where you're going.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
But it's just when you hire mercenaries. Mercenaries don't care
about your cause.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
They care about the money and they care about their
own Like what are they most concerned with? More than
anything else? Beyond the money, They're concerned with getting out
of their live. They don't want to die for something
they don't believe in, So let's do the job, get
out of here, and get paid.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's the concerns.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And I just felt like I watched a lot of
that against Utah there didn't feel like there was a
personal connection to the way they were getting beat. So anyway,
that's my two cents and see you. And by the way,
(32:35):
anybody questioning is Dion going to be like yo, you're insane.
He's not going to be let go. It would take
about fifteen more of those games for Dion to be
let go. But Dion has I mean that game is
a coaching thing. I mean, you were woefully unprepared off
of a bye week against a team that you knew
(32:57):
was going to be physical against you.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
So a lot more to discuss with that game as well.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Three O three five oh four O nine two five
One more reminder, the keywords for this hour is victory,
So tech set in your first and last name the
three oh three five four O nine to two five
for a chance to win one hundred and fifty dollars
gift card to rally House. A lot more to discuss
from the NFL weekend. I do want to get to
the Avs and Nuggets as well as the Avs.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I hate games to go to overtime because you just
you lose all the time, and the Nuggets, with a
huge bounce back, gets all that in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Instagram kill a.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Car knocked down by natchus oh back door turnover they score,
Jack Hues Tavalanchern absolute mess in overtime, a ton of
turnovers and they just can't get the second point they
get one could have in two. It's a four to
(33:56):
three win and overtime for the New Jersey Devils.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Off over to Christian Brown top of the key. Now
it's Jokich.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Jokich over to Camp.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Johnson goes baseline, great pass to Gordon.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
Stop right handed Tamaha the Nuggets lead at one twenty
one to ninety nine with four o five left to
go in the game on an eleven nothing wrong And
for the first time this year.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
This thing is OVA.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
It's a rally house Football Monday and Altitude Sports Radio
rally house shop every team in town. We'll have keywords
every hour on the twenties for that rally house gift card.
Keep in mind tomorrow's other Avs ticket Tuesday. So on
the twenties of tomorrow, every hour on the twenties of
tomorrow's shows, your chance to win a pair of tickets
(34:48):
to the Avs and Lightning on your home of Avs
Hockey Altitude Sports Radio ninety two to five.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
So, and by the way, how long are we still
able to say that that's the Stanley Cuver rematch game?
Because it's been three years? Are we still allowed to say? Oh,
Stanley Cup? So not too much time going down? Okay,
So the statute of limitations is passed.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
So it's not a rematch, it's a you could say
the how did they do it?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Hey, this is.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
A rematch of the twenty twenty two you know what
I mean? Like you can do that the year Yes,
you gotta do the year now to the Avs and Nuggets.
We'll start with the Avs. They get to overtime, they lose.
That's just it's it's a sign from God. Now is
that if you don't win the game and regulation, you're
(35:37):
done for. There are certainly issues that the Avs have
right now that they need to get fixed. They had
this great start to the year and it's kind of
dwindled over the last few games. The problem becomes this,
(35:59):
fix the power play. You fix your issues. Their power
play has just been atrocious throughout this entire stretch of games,
and it was a problem even at the beginning of
the year when you were winning, but it's even more
highlighted in the losses. The AVS power play is one
for its last twenty four and for something that we
(36:21):
identified as maybe the main problem from last year, to
have that continue to be a problem is an even
bigger problem.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
So that needs to get fixed the second that does.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All of these games, like I think all of them
would all be w's if your power play's fixed. They're
all one goal losses, with only one of them being
in regulation, the rest of those being in a shootout.
There's no question that I think that solves a multitude
of problems. Still waiting for McKenzie Blackwood to get healthy too.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
That matters.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Fix the power play and you fix this issue now
when it comes to actual overtimes. I don't know you
guys feel about it like I'm I know there's an
extra point that's involved in ots, and they've had an
odd number of overtime games already to start this year.
I don't want to get too bogged down in the
overtime sort of strategy stuff because I don't think it's
(37:22):
it's very common, despite what's happened early in the season.
The one thing I will say is for Nate McKinnon
being one of, if not the best players in the world,
I think he gets way too risky in a game
that's just about puck possession in OT like, he gets
(37:44):
too antsy, like he tried to go it looked like
between the legs of the defender in OT, which led
to the breakout going the other direction. And I think
he just takes chances where they don't have to. Really
good overtime teams are teams that aren't trying to make
(38:05):
a great play. They're just trying to wear you out
and find one little open slot for a shot, try
and get you on a two on one. Like the
teams that are really good at it are teams that
like to keep possession of the puck for most of
the period. It's annoying to watch, but it's the proper strategy,
(38:27):
and I just don't think McKennon has a patience for it.
He's not going to take a puck in the zone
and then take it back out. He is going to
find a way to weave between three guys for a shot,
and I just think sometimes that leads to breakouts which
are not good for you. So that's just a quick
sort of excerpt.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
On the Avs part of things.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
To the Nuggets, that win against the Suns was exactly
what you hoped for and basically every single way everybody
in the starting five was involved. Jamal through the first
couple of games looks awesome. Christian Brown was involved in
the scoring. Cam Johnson was involved in the scoring. But
(39:08):
more than anything else, guys, here's the best part of it.
You have a legitimate bench. Now, God is it good
to see Brucey be back here? As he poured it,
excuse me, poured in eleven points in that game. Jonas
Valanciunas is a legitimate center in this league that is
(39:30):
now a backup for you. And again, it's a game
where you only got thirteen minutes. I want those minutes
to tick up for him. I still want to see
like the the Twin Towers look with both him and
Jokic on the floor. But he looks great. Peyton Watson,
to me, looks like he's trying to take another step
(39:53):
in the evolution of his game where he's taking the
ball up the floor sometimes, which is an interesting little wrinkle.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
There's just everything that.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
I was hoping for I got from the Sun's game,
and everybody's pointing to the Jokics triple double where he
only put up eight shots in the game. I think
only won in the first half. I think that style
of play is exactly what you want. How many times
have we seen the Yokic game where he is a
sixty point triple double and you lose the ideal way
(40:26):
for this team to play.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
And this is what I said before the season started.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
If Jokic's numbers, especially in the point category, take a dip,
it's a good thing for this team because he's not
going to be asked to carry that much of a
load for them to get a win. Now, do you
want him shooting one time and a half? No, But
we've all seen Yokic early in the season. He has
a game like this every year where he's just like,
(40:50):
I'm not shooting today, so I'm just gonna keep passing
and hopefully you guys knock down shots.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
And here's the good news. They did. Let's go one
hundred and thirty three.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
And the super nit picker is gonna tell me, oh, well,
they only took thirty one threes and they only made
nine of them. They scored one hundred and thirty three points.
Not concerned, and they were a better three point shooting
team this year. That will get figured out. What did
ag not go ten of eleven from three in this game?
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Boohoo? One hundred and thirty three points. But it's always
funny to.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Me, Nelly, when I watched the discourse from people outside
of Denver talking about Nicola Jokic, and it's the fans
that I hate on NBA Twitter because they're all about
highlight reels and they're like, what's.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
This little game that Jokic is playing? What is only
scoring fourteen points. Somebody called the FBI cash PTTEL. I
don't know who that person is.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
That sounds like that, by the way, but that's what
I imagine in my head. I'm like, you just do
you guys not understand Yokic's game? Like he's been the
league for over a decade. He always does this when
the team is operating at its peak. Jokic doesn't shoot
and he distributes. That's how it's always been. So a
(42:13):
lot more to discussed for that game as well, Gow,
we got a million things to talk about. Didn't even
talk about Scattapoo and his leg being backwards in the
middle of that game in New York.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
The Jets, Hey Bretty and his bets.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
What I call for the underdog of the week, Nelly,
Did I say that the Jets had a chance to
get their first dub this weekend?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You're welcome. Oh what was the Brett coin lock of
the week? Texas A and M. That was money? I
got lucky anyway.
