Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're joined by Ryan Edwards, co host of KOA Sports
and Broncos react as well. And did someone say CSU
grad Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That's correct? Right, I'm correct.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Curious about the new head coach? Your thoughts with that?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, I like to hire. It's a little better than
I thought, so would get to be honest, and again,
maybe I'm just set up for disappointment all the time
as a CSU fan, But yeah, you know, Jim Moore
is a good I mean, he's a good coach, has
both experienced in the NFL as well as college, really
good at u c l A. He's had a couple
of nine win seasons there at Yukon. So yeah, like
(00:41):
I said, the resume is pretty impressive. I mean, he's
he's a name like and that's I think that's more
than anything. I just you know, for CSU, it's kind
of like, I don't know where they're going to go there.
Rumors were kind of flying all over the place, and
you sort of thought it was going to be some
an up and coming coordinator, somebody that is just trying
to up their teeth and use this as a stepping
(01:02):
stone for a bigger job later. Instead, they got a
guy that's a bonafly coach. He's the guys that's just
been doing this a long time and he's going to
bring a certain standard to the program. I'm pretty excited
about it.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It is interesting to see these folks who must have
grown up with football since the time they were zero. Right,
you got Maura son of Moura, and you've got Shanahan,
son of Shanahan, and you've got uh what Wade Phillips
on a bum Phillips And I know there's a there's
what's the other big big name right now that I'm
that I'm missing, Uh there's another one though anyway, And
(01:35):
you know it does it does say something. They must
have grown up watching their dads do and just kind
of soaking it in their whole lives.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Right, Well, it doesn't always work, and they say, you know, Hacket,
there's another example of one that uh didn't quite Hacket,
if you will. But but yeah, you know, most of
the time you've been arounding Pat Sherver's another guy. I mean,
there's there's guys. You know a lot of these guys
that are just around around the game their entire life.
And yeah, most of the time when they get that
(02:02):
opportunity to be a head coach. You know, they tend
to be pretty successful. I said that there are a
few misses in there, but even those guys that you
know sometimes are coordinators or that they're around the game.
So but like I said, when I saw that last night,
I was kind of like, huh, I'm really into that
because I more or less expected it would be somebody
that was just going to use this as a jumping
(02:23):
off point for a bigger job later.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
What do you what are you thinking as we head
into the Sunday night game against the team that I
used to know as the Washington Redskins.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, you know, I mean, he's really liked the Broncos'
chances in that game. Especially it sounds like J Daniels
is not going to play, so it's gonna be Marcus
Murriotta a quarterbacking Washington, and that's that's definitely an advantage
I think for the Broncos. He still got a lot
of mobility left at this point. But he's definitely not
He's not one of the premier quarterbacks that he's pretty
(02:54):
high end backup. And the problem for them is even
if you say okay on offensive Bee they'll be able
to do maybe a few things, even if it's against
this defense. But their defense is in a really bad way,
bottom tier, bottom third, if not worse than the elite.
It crossed almost every statistical category. They're really banged up there.
(03:17):
There's underperforming. So this hopefully is an opportunity for the
Broncos offense to really do some things. You know, of
course we said that before we had the Raiders game,
the Jets game. Those are examples of the games where
they struggled. So I don't want to bank on anything,
but coming out of the bye week, I'd like to
see the offense kind of get on track.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Ryan, Sunday feels so far off when we think of
all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving holiday and the
Thanksgiving games that we'll be seeing as well. What should
Broncos fans maybe keep an eye on leading up to
our Sunday game. Maybe some wins or losses that we
want to see from some of those other games.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well, I mean, of course you're paying attention to the Patriots,
who right now ahead of the Broncos and standings at
the one seed, so that you know that's that's going
to be I think I think any games right and
around there. Of course, we're all paying attention tomorrow to
the Chiefs, even though they're the ten seed. Right now,
everybody seems to be pretty worried about what will happen
(04:13):
if they can find their way into the playoff mix.
And once again, you know, mathematically it's going to be
a challenge for them not only even just to get
to make the playoffs, but even win the division. But
because of the Chiefs, and we've seen this, it's kind
of like you know, Freddy Krueger movie. You know, you
just like they keep coming back. So I think you
just you're you're constantly kind of one eye on them
(04:36):
Chargers coming off thereby. That's another team that obviously is
in division. They're they're kind nipping on the heels of
the Broncos, and then of course the Colts as well.
They're they're playing a division game over the weekends against Houston,
which is a really big game really for both of
those teams. So you know, you're just kind of, you know, score,
we're watching a little bit. The Broncos control their own
destiny in a lot of ways, though, because I think
if they win out they will be the one seed
(04:58):
based on tie breakers, so on and so forth. But
the fact is that that's something that you know, you
can't really expect them to do necessarily, So in the meantime,
we're all going to be paying attention to those games.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I was looking ryan at some betting lines over on ESPN,
the betting lines to win the Super Bowl, and the
leading team right now is the Rams. They've passed the Eagles.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs are still in third place,
which I find kind of fascinating. But anyway, the Broncos
are at thirteen to one to win the Super Bowl,
(05:31):
which is actually really strong odds. You got lots of
other teams that are fifty one, five hundred to one,
one thousand to one. How are is this a little
too optimistic to think of the Broncos. I don't want
to go crazy and say winning the Super Bowl, but like,
how deep into the playoffs do you think this team
can go?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well? Honestly, I think that the one seed would give
us an indication of that, because, I mean, the road
to the Super Bowl goes through Denver, and this is
a team that is on eleven game home winning streak.
They're undefeated this year, and so if they're going to
be that good at home, yeah, you can be very optimistic. Now, again,
that's that's the one seed. If there are two seeds,
(06:12):
you still feel pretty good about it. But what if
the seventh seed is say Kansas City or Buffalo, you know,
or the Baltimore Ravens somehow, I mean, that's golly, you know,
those are some really tough teams. Of course, you like
the fact that the Broncos would be hosting, but the
road to the Super Bowl now ultimately goes through whoever's
the one seed in that point, I would imagine it
would be New England, so you have to go to Foxborough.
(06:34):
So I see, right now, if you can somehow find
a way to maybe not win out, but do a
you know, close strong get to thirteen fourteen wins, then
you're really positioned well because you're going to have the
one seed, which means you're gonna have a buy a
lot of these teams that are kind of vying for
and getting into the wild card, they're going to be
(06:54):
knocked out, and then you're going to have an opportunity
to host two games before you go to the Super Bowl.
So I I think that the optimism could be there
if you're in position to get that seat.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
We got about one minute left, Ryan, and I want
to ask you about injuries. You talked about the Washington Commanders.
It's still hard for me to call them that, being
very very banged up on defense. By the way, I
say that because I grew up out there. They were
my hometown team for many years, and so is Alex Singleton.
Let's just focus on defense. Is Alex Singleton likely to play?
(07:24):
Is Patzertan likely to play?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I think both are likely to play. We'll see that
the practices were ultimately warrants this week. But Alex Singleton
did an interview yesterday Good Morning America and he intimated
that he expects the practice this week. And yeah, there's
optimism last week that they could have potentially gone. Of
course that there was a game, but the part of
the reason they didn't put Pasertan on IR is because
(07:48):
they were eyeing in return right after the bye week,
and so there's been optimism building for both of those players.
They might have Nate Atkins back, They're hoping to maybe
have Jonah Ellis back. So you know, good news that
buy came in a good time. They had a couple
of guys that were kind of on the fence about
whether they'd be available. That extra week really did pay off.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Ryan Edwards, his host of KOA Sports and Broncos React
right here on KOA the Broncos versus Commanders. It's a
Sunday night game with a six twenty pm kick PM kickoff.
Koa's coverage begins at nine a m. Ryan, thanks for
your time as always, anytime.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I sure hope, uh I sure hope they kick them,
but I think they will
