Speaker 1 (00:00):
Voice of the Denver Broncos, along with his broadcast partner
Rick Lewis, who was in studio with us earlier this morning.
And so, Dave, obviously we need to start with the
most important question of the day. If it were up
to you, would you have a plate full of sides
on Thanksgiving? Or would you still have turkey if you
had a choice.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Wow, really.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Succing answer. Turkey.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Very okay, yesterday's game, Dave, was not a turkey. Tell
us your key takeaways, and then I'm sure we'll have
some other random questions for you.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
My key takeaways, Well, they won the game, right, They
are three and a half games in the lost column
ahead of the Chiefs. There are two games ahead and
the lost column on the Chargers. And I mean I
thought this was probably as good an overall team win. Defensively,
(00:56):
excuse me, we've seen them play really excellent foot all
most of the year. I thought they got a big,
big lift and the special teams blocked an extra point,
MIMS had a couple of one really great punt return,
and then I thought offensively, that first drive of the
(01:17):
game sort of set the tone. They converted twice on
third down, one a third and eight one the other
I think a third and eleven for a team that
had struggled really to kind of gain some traction offensively
to be able to move that down now. They had
to settle for a field goal, obviously, but that was
an important drive, and I thought the offense took some steps,
(01:39):
some positive steps in the right direction yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Dave.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I do love how you prefaced.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I'm not even going to say it before that final
will will Let's field goal because we all remember what
happened last time and we didn't want to repeat of
what happened last year. But when you're looking at some
of the other things that we really need to focus on.
First off, I was at the game yesterday just as
loud as can be. I saw video from somebody in
the press box where their water was literally like vibrating
(02:07):
because they could just feel it, maybe not hear it,
but feel it. I'm curious if you felt or saw
anything that made it more electric than what we've seen
in past games.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Oh yeah, no, Geene, I think I think that that crowd.
I mean, listen, Denver, the Broncos in general, they've got
really smart fans, so they understood the magnitude of that game.
I mean, they understood that Casey would come in. It
was I called it the Waterloo game for them. You
knew you were going to get absolutely Casey's best. They
(02:37):
were healthy, healthier than the Broncos for sure. And so yeah,
I thought it had I thought it had a playoff
atmosphere with respect to the crowd, and I think players,
I think players build on that and feed off that.
I mean they really do, even even NFL guys. You
can feel that in an NFL stadium when there's just
(02:59):
an electricity the too a game that may be a
tad bit unusual, and I thought it was that way
for the fans yesterday, Dave.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
There were a couple of things I want to ask
you that relate directly or indirectly to Riley Moss. First,
the past interference, his first pass interference penalty that was
forty or forty one yards or whatever that was. That
looked to me like a terrible call, And especially for
much of the first half of that game, I was
yelling at the TV, like, are these guys, these refs
(03:27):
betting on Kansas City?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Did you think?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And but you know, you're a little better even though
you're a partisan like I am.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
You're better at sort of being objective at these things.
Did you think the officiating was was okay or not
so much?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I think the first roster one you mentioned to me,
that's not a penalty, that's that's not past interference. And
I think a couple of things have happened. Riley has earned,
I believe, the scrutiny of NFL officials because he said
a number of number of those calls right, so to
(04:02):
suggest that NFL officials are not aware of guys that
they get a list before the game as they study
for the upcoming game in terms of guys that have
committed what fouls. Really, so, the first pass interference call
to me is an absolute no call. I just, I
(04:23):
just I wouldn't have thrown that flag. The second one,
he got handsy and got put in a difficult situation
because you know, when a receiver is stopping, we're not
running full speed, and the ball is underthrown and that
receiver is putting on the brakes and trying to fight
his way back to the ball. I mean, your your
inclination as you're running as fast as you can is
(04:43):
to try to put your hands in there and impede
him from getting back. So the second one, I think,
being completely honest, I probably would have called. But the
first one, there's no way in the world as past interference.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I agree with you on that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So one more from me and I Gen's got another
question for you. So we used to say that they
keep throwing at Riley Moss because Patzertan is on the
field and nobody wants to challenge pats er Tan. But
yesterday Patzertan wasn't on the field and they kept throwing
at Riley Moss. And I wonder if you know the
other teams, are you know, seeing the same tape that
(05:17):
you're saying, or that you're saying.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The officials are getting in their list and they're.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Going after him, either because they think he's vulnerable they
could a truly throw against him, or he's going to
commit these penalties, or maybe he doesn't commit the penalties.
Actually more than anybody else, but the rest are going
to call it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
More on him than anybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So what can and must Riley Moss do to be
less of a liability to the team from time to time?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That God, that's a multifaceted question. There's like that was
like a multiple choice question for me ABC, and I
can't remember what A and B were picked.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
One just picked anything.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I would say this, I think you know the second
pass interference call. I mean, that's a bailout call. That's
Patrick Mahomes realizing it's third and nineteen getting out of
the pocket and seeing a receiver run down the sideline.
I don't imagine at that point he's absolutely certain that
number twenty one is the defensive back. But in the
(06:17):
league today, you're going to see three or four times
a game where quarterbacks are just going to chuck the
ball up on a deep route and hope that their
guy makes an adjustment like we saw, like we saw
Franklin make on the last drive, an adjustment on a
corner route or on a go route where the ball
(06:41):
is underthrown and the chances are you're going to get
some sort of pass interference call. So I don't like it.
I don't like that part of the game, but I
think it's a smart play by offensive guys to try
to chuck it up and then hope that you get
a little little action with the hands.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Even wrapping up with you.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I don't want to put the cart in front of
the horse, But I am going to put the cart
in front of their horse. I think you even mentioned
it on the broadcast yesterday. What are the main things
that we need to see for the Broncos to really
like secure a home field advantage if we're already looking
at playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think honestly, I'm not sure that you know
the Broncos coaching staff will feel this way, at least
not publicly, but I think it's fine to start thinking about, Hey,
this is the season's got a little magic to it. Right.
They're nine to two. They would if the season into
right now, the number one seed in the AFC. The
Patriots are nine to two as well, But I think
it's okay to sort of set your sights on not
(07:36):
only winning the West, but having the best record in
the AFC. Therefore, everything has to come through Denver, and
that's an important that's an important part. One of the
biggest reasons I think the Broncos have been able to
have this kind of season is that they have reclaimed
their home field magic. When this team has been great
in the past, they have been a dominant team at home,
(07:58):
and this club twenty five, has not lost a game
at home. So yeah, I think I think not only
setting your sights one in the AFC West, but it's
okay to think about what do we have to do
to have the best overall record in the AFC when
the regular season's done.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Boys, the Broncos, it's Dave Logan. Dave, appreciate your time
as always. Hopefully you get a little bit of time
off this weekend, but I know you're a busy guy,
so I don't know if you have even more that
you have to deal with next weekend, but we appreciate
you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Guys.
