Speaker 1 (00:00):
Koa at Training Camp is powered by Chevron, committed to
our local communities and safely delivering affordable, reliable energy that
powers Colorado Forward. And joining us from the aforementioned training
camp is producer A Rod, he of the exceedingly reflective sunglasses,
although it is overcast today so.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
He might not be wearing them.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hi, A Rod, Hi Ross, I am not currently wearing them.
As you mentioned, the overcast has been nice pretty much
all morning long, since I've been out at here since
six am. It is fantastic weather sunglasses. Less A Rod
is talking to you now, you haven't gone full prime
and wearing them indoors. I have not, and I even
taken them off sometimes outdoors because, like Ryan Edwards is
sitting right next to me, we apparently are getting flak
(00:42):
for wearing them in our social media videos because you
really bugs people when you see the reflection of stuff
in the sun and sunglasses.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So so let me let me make this about me
for a second, A Rod, because I'm good at that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know your name is on the show.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So I'm I'm negotiating my own contract right now, and
I am about to sign what I think will be
a four year, ninety two hundred dollars contract, very specific. Yeah,
a four year, ninety two hundred dollars contract. It's a
little bit different from Courtland Sutton's new contract.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yes, it is very different from Courtland Sun's new contract.
But like Sutton, you're gonna have to find the radio
equivalent of having a thousand yard season. What would that
be in radio terminology? Do you just have to host
NonStop and no days off? You have to meet certain
benchmarks and certain ratings with our program director Dave Tepper.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Eventually have to win a CBA.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You eventually have to Mandy Hog, I've made a couple.
Mandy does Hog the ball? Are you considered our wide
receiver one ross?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, well, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
We got two.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
We got two good wide receivers. I mean Mandy and
I are the only two current events. You know curent
Event's talkos on KOA. So I think we're pretty uh
oh less than Mandy. I've been on KOA four years now.
Mandy's been on KOA what eight or ten or something?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The Manny might be more in the Sutton range because
now Courtland, having been here since twenty eighteen, Yeah, has
been nothing but productive. Obviously your teasing the fact that
Cortland Sutton now has agreed. Yesterday, by the way, just
an hour after Sean Payton said this literally in the
post trading camp press conference.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I'm not going to speak ahead of it, but we're
real close on a contract, and you know, I think
our goal when he and I met George all along
was was you know this coming Monday. So I think
there'll be something fairly soon.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Literally an hour after that, the extension was announced four years,
ninety two million, like you mentioned, and Ross, I know
this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Courtland Sutton has a chance to be.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
The number five all time leading receiver in Denver Broncos history.
If he repeats what he did last year and has
one thousand yards, he would then pass ed McCaffrey. WHI
who was sitting at sixty two hundred yards. Yeah, Corland's
at fifty three forty. He's already gonna pass Emanuel Sanders
may maybe like on the in the first game, twenty
one yards away from that. And if he has a
thousand yard seas and he's gonna be in the Ring
(03:04):
of Fame potentially because he's gonna pass ed McCaffrey at
the five spot. But It's awesome to see this guy
get locked up. He's a fan favorite, he's a team favorite.
The locker room loves him, and you know who really
loves him, and honestly, probably was the exclamation point to
get this contract done is his quarterback, Bo Nicks. He's
become a security blanket. They obviously have a really good connection.
He's got so many touchdowns and he has like eighteen
(03:25):
or something like that touchdowns in the last.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Couple of seasons.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
So getting him locked up was a no brainer and
maybe the first to come in terms of contracts.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So I did little math yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
A rod and obviously an NFL receiver does more than
just catch passes during a game, right, There's a lot
to do. But I did the math, and I figured
out that if he catches the same number of passes
each year for the next four years that he caught
last year, which was eighty six, including five in the playoffs,
and if he gets paid ninety two million dollars, then
(03:56):
he will have earned two hundred and sixty seven thousand
dollars per catch.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh my goodness, that's that's pretty darn good. Yeah, that's
pretty dark good. But he's been notorious for being darn
good at catching the ball, and I just mentioned security
blanking for bone Niggs and every single one of those
would be well earned, especially if the Broncos want to
do what they want to do on offense this year.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, give me an update on Alex Singleton, who we
missed a lot last year.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And what's going on with him.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
So Alex Singleton yesterday, First of all, I noted in
a picture I put out, I mean all smiles because
this guy's obviously coming off his torn acl and not
too long in the practice yesterday it was reported that
he was walking off the field with his trainers and
that he was looking at his hand, and then we
found out later in the day that he did in
fact break his thumb, which is obviously not good for
(04:43):
a linebacker who's trying to get his hands up in there.
But luckily with a broken thumb, they're going to wrap
that thing up in those clubs that you've seen defensive
players have.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
You know, it's not it's not impossible.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
We were talking earlier in terms of like catching you know,
maybe in an interception with that think it makes it
more difficult, but he's going to be out probably about
seven to eight days, which for that inside linebacking corps
after already losing Drew Sanders, this is a light inside
linebacking corps I personally thought was one of the deepest
we've seen in many years. And now it's already down
two guys. Drew Sander's gonna broably be out until the
least of the star of the season Alex Singleton now
(05:16):
and now out for a week. So it's gonna be
a lot of Drake Greenlaw the free agent signing. It's
going to be Justin Sternaud who continues to just have
these opportunities with injury. Lavelle Bailey and then undrafted Kareean
Reid are going to get a lot of opportunities as well.
But Singleton should be back in a week ahead of
that first preseason I got to.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Say, And it might just be because he's one of
the few Broncos I've interviewed, But I'm a big Justin
Sternad fan. I like him, I like I love him
as a player, and I like interviewing him. He seems
like a really decent human and he actually, you know,
a lot of times, I don't do a lot of
sports interviews, but I watch a lot of sports interviews
and a lot of the players they just sort of
(05:53):
are sounds like they're talking from talking points and you
could almost write their answer for them, right, And I
don't get that from it sounds like he actually listens
to the question and answers. But you've probably talked to
him way more than I have.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I have. And then Brian Edwards you referenced in the
interview did with him yesterday. Yeah, Justin Surnatt's probably one
of the better interviews that we have on this squad.
And he's a guy you want to continue having in
the locker room, both for how good he is as
an interview and also just how his usefulness over the
last couple of years because he continues to come back
to the Denver Broncos because these opportunities and he I
mean he said yesterday, he comes back because he wants
to play with Sean for Sean Payton, and he wants
(06:26):
a chance to win a Super Bowl, and these opportunities
he keeps having them because of these injuries at the position,
and now he's thrust into really being that's that starter
alongside Dray Green live if Alex Ingleton misses any more time,
than we expect, and then along with Drew Sanders too,
So he's a fantastic interview. And I know, I remember
that interview you referenced with you and Mandy last year.
You can find on our social channels. It's it's still
(06:47):
a good one, still stands pat and it's still evergreen
because you guys had so much fun with him that
I don't even know how much football you talk. You
don't need to with a guy like that. He's a great,
great guy.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, I remember in that interview.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It was it during the summer Olympics and we were
asking him what Olympic event he would like to participate in.
I don't remember what the answer was, but it was
a fun conversation. All right, Ay, Rod, you want to
drop anything else on us before you get going and
catch up on the rest of the stuff you need
to do today.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well, I will say, we're gonna be hopefully getting these live.
They are wearing pads again today, so hopefully some of
these more live periods are going to see once again.
And I really try. I'm an offense guy. I really
like the I keep my eyes on the offense. I
want to watch the invites inside linebacking corps. But as
I'm literally staring at him right now rise about to
talk about him, I can't keep my eyes off of RJ.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Harvey.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I really think that this guy is going to be special.
He's potentially gonna go down as one of the steels
in the draft.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
JK.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Dobbins is obviously a veteran Champaygn's noted that we have
the footage on tape. We know what Dobbits can do.
I think he's going to red really good in this
offense too.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
The ross.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I am stupid excited about the potential of r. J.
Harvey in this offense. He that crazy burst, that speed
that he's got, He's built like a bowling ball, but
it's just so wicked fast. So I'm gonna be watching
a lot of him and hopefully hopefully his rise continues.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Very quick follow up just on that, and I realize
there hasn't been a ton of chance to watch this,
But what are you seeing in terms of RJ. Harvey's
ability to catch the ball? If you've had a chance
to see any of that.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Oh my goodness, well I have seen some of it.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
He's already caught quite a few out of the backfield
and made special with I think there was a play
if I remember correctly, I think yesterday he caught a
ball out of the backfield and gassed the heck out
of dra Greenlaw, who who I've been referencing is the
new inside linebacker dation for the Broncos. This is a
guy that catches the ball and makes something with it.
I think his last his two seasons in college. The
guy averages over like ten yards to catch, So every
(08:37):
time he catches this thing, he.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Does something special with it.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He is wicket in space and people have mentioned I
know the Broncos were really high on the fact that
they think that R. J. Harvey had also the best
vision in this draft. So not only does he catch
the ball, but he's not afraid to go of the middle.
But when he has the ball, whether it's via the
catch or via in space running it, he knows what
to do with it and there's no second guessing.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
He's not going to get caught up in the backfield.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He's gonna either get downhill or get to the outside
via catch and do something special with it. So there's
gonna be a lot of first downs courtesy of R. J.
Harvey If they give him the opportunities.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's producer A Rod without his sunglasses, reporting from training
camp for now, for now, Thanks so much, A Rod.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's great. We'll talk with you again tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Sounds good, Thanks Rod.
