"Okay, that, again, you're going to have to be in that middling area that 8 win 9 win. And he's going to have to play well. Because I think one of the things that we're starting to see is something that you and I have been on for a very long time where the chicken little mirror lags of the world and everybody else were like, no, this team is stacked. They've got courtland. They've got Jerry Judy and they've got KJ amler and they've got talent. They've got don't rise there's going to be a ten time pro born. They've got this and they've got that. And you and I are like pump your brakes this roster is not as good as you think it is. On and on. Have we not been as much as D Mac makes fun of us for never being for being optimistic. Have we not been the ones that have said this roster is not nearly as good as you think it is? Now they're trying to trade cordless sudden. So I think that Russ Wilson could play pretty good football and they still win 8 or 9 games. And if that's the case, then you're on the right track. But I think one thing that has been, I think one thing that has come to the light this season is, there are more holes on this roster than anybody wants to admit. Even with everybody coming back healthy, like who? Javonte Williams Tim Patrick, Garrett Bowles. Well, let's just start right there. Okay. Garibaldi, what is garibaldi? I'd say Garrett Bowles is a above average left tackle. Okay, above average. Meaning, but he's not top 15 left tackles. But he's not a top 5. No, okay. I mean, yeah, he was second team all pro in a year where there was no crowd noise and then. What is what is javonte Williams come back? Come back off ACL. I don't know what he is. What is any of our receiving core? I mean, we saw all of a sudden putting a different position, we saw a guy in Jerry Judy, take what looked to be the next step. Can he continue that progression? We've also seen Jerry Judy miss 5 or 6 games a year the last two years. Have we not? I'm just in like I've told you, I don't need good athletes. I need good football players. He still has to prove that he can be a nice, like not only he's a great athlete, he's got to prove that he can be a great football player. And he can do the dirty things. KJ hamler, I mean, I know everybody talks about KJ hamler and the slaw running fast. That dude is never available. Ever, Tim Patrick coming back, I think, is great because I think that dude's got some good dog in it. I think he's a dog. Can you tell me what this offensive line look? Who's gonna play right tackle for you? You sold on your center guard center. I'm not. So when it comes to all right, let me come back to the rust question. So you're saying that it simply will not come down to reaching certain number plateaus, meaning 8 9 wins, ten wins. It won't matter. It won't mean, hey, he's got to throw for at least 4000 yards. He's got to throw for at least 25 touchdowns. You're saying the eye test will tell you. I test amen, how efficient is he? How quick does he get rid of the ball? How many times does he continue to take sacks? Does he fix that issue? But if he does those things, though, shouldn't that translate to getting you to a win total that we should expect. No, that'll translate to getting you to 8 or 9 wins. You're going to have to, you're going to have Jerry Judy's going to have to be not only a top notch top flight wide receiver, but you're going to have to do the, you're going to have to do the dirty work to get other people open too. You're going to have to be able to do those things. All right, how about this? How about this then? Oh, this for compromise. All right. If Russell Wilson, a year from now, we are convinced is still the quarterback. To be the quarterback for the next few years, at least moving forward. Then if he makes the improvements necessary, that gets you to 8 or 9 wins. But if that's as far as you get, then it'll be more about where this roster is at or not at, that that's why you didn't get to 9 or ten. Yeah. All right. I think that's fair. Because if Ross is able to make let me improvements that he needs to make, then just simply by being a much better quarterback and because of the importance of the quarterback position because I don't suspect that this defense is going to fall off the cliff. You put that combination together. That better get you to 8 or 9 wins. Let me just tell you this. There was nothing wrong. As a matter of fact, he was a much better athlete at the time. With Drew Brees quarterbacking skills when they went 7 O 9 7 9 9 7 9. He was still on the lead level quarterback. The only one 7 games a year why because they were in salary gap purgatory and they had a revamp their entire roster. Then all of a sudden you get ram check, you get Armstead to book in your tackles, you get yourself a chimera, you use yourself a Michael Thomas, you know, you get yourself some big time players, you get yourself a defense that you get demario Davis and you get yourself a bunch of different tray Hendricks ins and David on your mates and you get yourself a. Roby was there, but I'm thinking about the guy that played nickel that ended up going to Philadelphia who was great. He had Malcolm Jenkins and, you know, then all of a sudden, guess what, now you're winning 12 games a year again. Did you quarterback all of a sudden get better? No. The roster around him got that. Animation again, writing about the free agent cornerback market. So, you got pats or tan, don't worry about him. If only you could play wide receiver, though. But so where do you feel about the rest of the corners? Like, do they have a clear cut number two? Darby, they would bring back. I don't think they'll bring back Ronald Barbie. That is a question. What do you think of demari math this last year? Rough start continue to battle continue to compete. Right. I thought, I thought they had some good young corners. The biggest thing to me with their young corners is guys made mistakes, but guys battled their butts off and they never were afraid. Like to be a corner man, you can't be afraid to get burnt. You can't play. You can not play,

"You weren't alone. Right. I'm just thinking, I didn't want it to garbage call. And I think the way the game was called for the entirety of the game, there wasn't one defensive holding call that I can remember. It wasn't a heavily penalized game. And so you set the parameters with guys, I mean, I'm not saying there was a bunch of fouls, but I'm saying, you know, there are a bunch of things that go on during the course of a game that, by the rule book, technically, could you call holding in goaling on every play? Someplace, can you call illegal contact pretty much on every play? You're telling me there wasn't one chuck beyond 5 yards. With the quarterback in the pocket, that's an illegal contact. But it wasn't called, all right? So how will all of a sudden that play, which is marginal at best, gets called, is ridiculous to me? So what are you going to do about it? Well, by the rules, call the game by the rules as the rumor. That's all. How did you get it? Okay. I'll give you guys one and a half Super Bowl victories. The last four years. You have won one and a half. So you've decided to take two hours of your valuable time today. You've got the exos thundercloud. I don't know how valuable my time is, but yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're kind of in the season's over. It's not landscaping time yet. No, it's not. So all I gotta do, you got a couple hours to fill. 24 hours to kill. What are you gonna do? I'm gonna go through the excess thunder cloud and just look at every pass play. 37 of them. That the Philadelphia Eagles ran. And there's a little tug on the very first blast play of the game. Not called. Should we call that? I guarantee you I can find 5 or 6 illegal contacts by the book. Should we call those? Make the Super Bowl 5 hour affair. A little hankey's all over the place. So you're gonna look at all the chiefs defensive plays on pass plays. Are you gonna find all the calls that weren't called, and you're gonna put them up on video on Twitter? Yes, this is great. This is next adventure. Yes, you are vengeance. You are vengeance. Oh man, chief, chiefs kingdom, man. Be careful what you wish for. Don't spit in the wind. Don't tug on Superman's cape. That's right. That's right. I mean, we call the mask off the old lone ranger. Don't mess around with stink. If I'm tired, again, maybe there's not that many. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would just say. Is it petty? Sure. Sure. That's what I'm all about. But is it beautiful? Absolutely. Here's the reaction. Cheese kingdom already irritated. Mark, you're jealousy of the chiefs is not a good look and frankly a little sad. Oh, he told you. But her complete bull. I just know, I just know after the Super Bowl. And I was room for the I'll be honest. I mean, I got some good sports hate vitriol. I was ruined hard for Philadelphia. I wanted to Philadelphia to win that game. And in the end, they didn't. Kansas City wanted. Kansas City dominated the second half. I mean, tip your cap to them. I'll tip my cap to them. The end of the day, I laid my head down on a pillow and fell fast asleep, knowing that I'm three and O one super bowls and you're not. Again, nobody does snark like martial art. By the way, can see chief fan. Let me know what it feels like to lose a Super Bowl. I never lost one. What does that feel like? Because it must be painful. Now let's give some credit. The chiefs put together a masterful second half. Oh my God, they were awesome. The justice were awesome. Incredibly clean second half, so it was a wildly entertaining game. As long as you can put aside the ending, it was still a very, very good football game. So what are the blueprints that we as Bronco fans can take from Kansas City from Philadelphia and apply it to this team? Because let me give you a little backdrop, okay? Okay? ESPN came out with their way too early power rankings for next season. Number there are people put it together. Where do you think the Broncos are ranked in their early 2023 power rankings? 32 teams. Where do you think they're ranked? I'm going to say 23. 27th. Out of 32. So they're not blown away by the Sean Payton hire. Well, not that where were they last year though? Where were those same people last year? They were saying, well, the talent on this team. Receiving power and blah blah blah. They bought into the Russell Wilson hype like everybody did. Right. Don't kid yourself. Nobody was out there saying this is going to blow up. But they were way over hyping. The Bronx is very Judy's in the world. And I'm never available KJ hamler. And the coral and sudden and all that, they were way over. They've been way over hyping that crew forever. So they've got them 27th. Cheerio D max saying that he thinks that, hey, Sean Payton's all that, they should win 11 or 12 this year. Folks, it's a thinly veiled agenda, okay? Let me just tell you what's going on here, okay? By saying things like that, it's like, well, they should win 11 or 12 games. If they don't, it all gets put on Russell Wilson. Get Russell Wilson out of here and go on and draft a quarterback in the top 5 so that ultimately, before his career is over, D max, not Russ's. He can say I told you so about the importance of drafting a top 5 quarterback. That's what this is all about. It's all about that. How long? Every time he says something, it is all it all comes back to his goal, his desire. To test his theory here. It's what it all is. All of it. How long? How long has he? Ever since I can remember going back to 2012. Because that's when the, although he did flip with the T Bo manifestation thing, whatever that was, what manifesto. Manifesto. Because TiVo was a 24th, which is just confusing because there was he can't draft a guy between 19 and 29. No, no, you can draft a guy at 19. He can't draft him at a 20 to 29. 29. But then 30 to 32, correct. And TiVo is like 24, correct. So but then how does all of a sudden you can win super bowls with Tebow if you drafted him in 24? Multiple. Like how does that I don't know. There are so many things. So many goal posts getting moved. It is just like, you got the manifesto, but you didn't get

"Do you think is the best team in the AFC north? Let's talk about the west. I got a drink for this one. Oh my goodness. Unfortunately, this is water not alcohol. This is the kind of question that almost demands alcohol. Who is the best team in the AFC west? How do you even answer that question? Because man, there's so much talent. The ASE west is kind of a bloodbath. The Raiders made the playoffs last year. But they have a new coach and a new GM. They've got Josh McDaniels at coach. But they also added a stud receiver Devante Adams, maybe the best receiver in the entire NFL. He is reuniting with his former college quarterback Derek Carr. They destroyed people at Fresno state. They got a running back I like Josh Jacobs, trying to rent for a receiver, Darren Waller at tight end. Max Crosby and Chandler Jones, a defensive end. I mean, the Raiders are good. And then you look at the Denver Broncos. They just add a new head coach and they know Hackett. They also added an incredible, probably Hall of Fame quarterback Russell Wilson, probably is he is Russell Wilson guaranteed Hall of Fame at this point. Let me know what you think. I don't know how to answer that. I think probably it's a little early in his career to be proclaiming that, but man, he's good. And it seems like Russell Wilson is the missing piece needed in Denver. They've got a solid offensive line. They've got a really, I don't think people realize how good the receiving core is in Denver, cortland Sutton, Jerry Judy, Tim Patrick, and KJ hamler, talent across the board that's going to be made to look even better with Russell Wilson throwing them the football. They've got a good defense. I mean, Denver looks like they're going to be really, really good. Then you look at Kansas City. By the way, Kansas City is one that division 6 years in a row. I don't think people realize how dominant Kansas City has been in this division. We're really quick to dismiss them, they've still got a legendary head coach, Andy Reid. And a legendary quarterback Patrick Holmes a stud star tight end Travis Kelce. I receiver, did you just miss Houston, Michael Hardman? Marquez valdes scantling who came over from Green Bay and I think could be even better utilized here in Kansas City. A good offensive line, some studs on defense. I mean, on the defensive line, by itself, Chris Jones, Frank Clark, and rookie George Carlos. Justin Reed is our new safety in Kansas City. There's a lot to be excited.

"Like you know, I was so hard on him last year. Like I mean, it was, you know, and rightfully so, because, like some of the stuff it was like I had watched one of my youth players run Dragon, and then we showed up and run Ran Dragon again. You know some of the best defense of mind and football, So it's like I'm not super impressed. But why shallow, special offered office see Ha is so sexy to a football to a football mind right? Like that's just good as it gets its red panty night is kinda McGregor would say. From an offensive coordinator perspective, So to me, it was like there was some stuff that he was doing. That is, so I just think it's awesome. And I do think the question. You know that everyone was saying on Twitter when I was talking about I really thought Pat Shurmur, the NDP today. The question. Everyone's saying, What does it continuously do it and Yeah, that's that's a valid question, right when we start to get Maybe, you know, more complex from a defensive. Look. Hey, do we keep having things dialed up perfectly for it? But listen, I just thought the timing of stuff that you know the play that Jerry Judy unfortunately, gets hurt on. Dover, like you couldn't have called that at a better time. You had too shallow to hold the inferior. You have the deep over behind it with the big with the big post from the other side, like there was just really good stuff on film. That, like, Listen, I'd love to be super critical of him like I was last year. It just he came out and it looked like a guy who spent an off season saying I need to catch up. What the NFL's doing now and it looks like he studied and he did like there's so many things. You know? Hey, They ran spear. They ripped that off a job, Grady. They ran over. They ripped that off of Sean Payton. You know, they ran the extended R P O, which they stole from BYU Like to me. There's so much stuff that it's like this is just He's literally sat there, reviewed everything and put the best of it into our system, and I think, and I think it's showing. Quick follow up. Do you think he would have done and we got about a minute? Do you think would have done the same thing withdrew luck. You see, That's a great question, right? I think What you saw from Teddy is probably what What you alluded to earlier in terms of the mic checks and everything else. Is when you then start feeling better about Hey, I've got this play designed that we need to hold the ball for 3.5 seconds. Right? You start to feel better. If you have a guy who consistently point to the right, Mike and get you Protected and training camp. So I do think would he have done it? Withdrew is a great question. I would probably say no if he didn't feel confident in the correct protection checks getting made. Yeah, That's kind of how I felt about it, too. Man. This is always good. It always goes so fast, Tim, We can't wait to watch your breakdown tomorrow. All things QB subscribed to his YouTube channel. Give a follow on Twitter as well at Jenkins believes going to do with some advanced recon on that jaguars. We'll call it defense because there was no D happening. Oh, yeah, I'll do some recon. And then maybe I'll jump on later this week. You guys tell me when you need me. All right, Make it happen. We'll tell you we'll make sure we do that, Tim. Thank you. 5000. Yeah. Appreciate attempt Jenkins at Jenkins Elite on Twitter. Great breakdowns there. That's that's kind of the thing. I came away from My third viewing this afternoon of the game is I was like, you know. That played two KJ Hamler through luck would make that we know he can make that right. But there are other plays that teddy made. I don't know if Drew makes those I'm trying to make those comparisons. I'm trying to celebrate what Teddy did without without the jury stuff and everything else. It will eventually Abou move on from that. I think in the very first moment of this game, it just flashed across my brain. It's not something that I'm going to be thinking about much. Going forward. And and certainly I I want to celebrate with Teddy Bridgewater did. I'm just saying for the people because we have people even on Twitter today, calling me a teddy apologised story, you know? And so I'm saying, Listen. I have Teddy Drew like making a chance at some point to play this year. How much will the play calling continue based on what they're doing? And how much will it change it Be interesting to see in the end? Um I just I really thought that there was a lot of great work done by Teddy in that one. I thought he you know, I'm just trying to celebrate that I did. I did say kg handler, play going back and watching it. It's more egregious that he under through him, the more you go back and watch it. I know you and I were just joking about that little at the studio, though. I mean, Yesterday or whatever, but you know it was was bad on the throw, and that bothered me more, but only because that I mean, he literally hit the guy in the back of the back and no offense was street. It was just screaming down the sideline right And it would have been a big chunk play. But the handler one bothers me more because that's six points. You know? Oh, yeah, I heard it bothers me because there's compound mistakes there. You know, You had an on the throne ball and a receiver didn't catch it, And it's tough catch. But you still you still gotta make that so He's got to make that and and K J Hammer's good. The guy that probably need to lean on the most right while Judy's out. Yeah, just, uh, we mentioned this at the outset of the show, but we've had some more people texting in on our K away..

"You're a Broncos, saying about his performance there, too, plays this stand out to me, and I want to ask If they were under throws. If they were mistakes by Teddy, the first one he mentioned there with the KJ Hamler deep pass that Ben said that that he thought that was not only a bad spot for Teddy to throw the ball to. It was also under thrown. KJ should have come up with it. It hit him in the stomach, but we'll get to that. The other one was a pass down the sideline to Noah Fant. That was super short. Hit the defender in the back, basically, so I wanted to know based on what those two were. What did you know? This and what is what are we going to see the breakdown? Yeah, well, I mean, listen, I'm going to nerd out about the one that he under throws the thing because it's what we call Why shallow special, but it's also their deep pain or their Seahawk. Which they run. So much of So to me, This is like this is the you know, High five to Pat Shurmur, because it's like, dude recognize. Hey, we lead the league and running Cuba too deep, You know, Seahawk. Let's go ahead and throw shallows special off of it. And by God, it was wide open, right? We've got to hit that one. You thought, Teddy? I mean, you know he was picked right? Like He knows being well that he under through it, and that you know, should be a chunk play. The other one is the same exact play for Minnesota. Right? Everyone in the league. Run that right now It's easy. Read where both those guys Are really on. Hey, go ahead and take the roof off. But if you can't sit at 16 to 20 yards Well, we just so happen to have the one dude in the NFL outside of Tyreek Hill, who doesn't have to sit right? You have KJ Hamler like there's two people consistently on film who don't sit on the read, and it's KJ Hamler and Tyreek Hill. That's it. That's the only two guys in the NFL right now that have proven you know what I can just run by you. No matter what coverage you're in. And then bend 100%. Right, Heidi just under through that, right? That's not like, you know, when you have KJ hamler out there, go ahead and let it rip. But you better let that being referred early. I think You know again. I don't want to start like, Oh, Drew would have done this. But that is the one that drew hit in Minnesota. Right? And I think in terms of what does Teddy need to do? He just needs to get the ball out a little sooner And then obviously, KJ still needs to make that play. But when you're talking about It's not like a little under thrown to where I can slow down and still being tried and the receiver has to do the full 1 80 back pedal and then try to catch it while someone's closing on me. It's a lot more difficult than That people are going to make it out to be. No. Yes, it hit him in the stomach. But there were a couple like Mike Evans had on Thursday night. It ended up hitting him a stomach. But You know if you were to ask Brady after he'd say, Yeah, I threw it way too late. So that's you know, why would the window the way it was? It hit him in the stomach. But that's a heck of a. You know, we've all done distraction Drill. That's a Hard cast in reality. Yeah, I think that's the thing most people don't realize they're turning your body around like that. The ball gets in on the inside in on your chest like that. It makes that catch a lot more difficult. Teddy should have put it up and outside. You know, KJ was Wide open. I mean, wide open on that play, but you know, you got to hang on to that as a receiver to I mean, that's on your hands, ball hitting the hands ball, which gets catchable like that. You've got to catch those. And so you know, I don't want to nitpick teddy down because I don't want to Teddy hater guy, but that was that was a ball that, you know, looking in looking for things to criticize. That was one that jumped out. Um, overall, I felt like the offensive line held up pretty well, Um, I just didn't like the way they didn't get much push in the run game. Yeah. I mean, they really didn't I I ate I don't want to say that that was by design because you never design a run, play and not be successful. I do think that the Giants and this is like I haven't seen this since I've broken down like You know holy oak not to not to take a shot at Holyoke. But like you could literally get the Giants to auto check in the bear like just running 12 personnel out there, And I do think Pat Shurmur was running 12 personnel out there to get this single high coverage. And that they are front and then he should have just thrown out of it. Right. If you know a team's going to auto check you into something that stops the run. You should probably not run the ball. I don't want to say like, Hey, I don't want to fully bailout the line because there's situations where Hey, listen, we're big on big and we still need to get a push right? Like when you're talking like just team mentality and offensive mentality. You want to talk about that without being said as a coach when they spend a single high coverage. We need to throw the ball and I think You know, I really after watching the film and Washington the makeup of the game. I really wonder if we're going to see a transition. To a Broncos off and it is the first in 10 more traditional drop back or play action team because I do think what Teddy showed in terms of his decision making and traditional drop back quick game. And the play action, not the run action stuff with the play action that I think he just made enough Good decision to where you could really say you know what? I'm 1st and 10. Let's go ahead and throw the ball. Right, Let's turn into a team that we're gonna we're gonna, you know, have a modified running game by getting it to the perimeter earlier and I do think that we have to do to do it and listen. K. J. Hammond got to play a little bit more, put him in the slot and just throw a bubble. There's some stuff that you can do. To really alleviate if you start seeing these heavy fronts, and then, of course, like you guys know the second, they spin back and play too high. That was just run the ball because we have the numbers. That's exactly right. Actually thought overall, Teddy did a pretty good job, and I would love to. You know your perspective on it of of checking things out, getting his protections and, of course, Monitoring what they were doing with the box. But the question I want to ask you more specifically because you tend to be fairly critical of Pat Shurmur and some of your breakdowns. What do you think about the play calling? The past the man I mean, there's like tonight..

Celebrating a Broncos win over the New York Giants to learn more about how the Broncos quarterback played in this game. Teddy Bridgewater looking pretty sharp out there. 28 to 36 to 64 2 touchdowns. We head out to the hotline and bring in a very good friend of the program. Tim Jenkins at Jenkins lead on Twitter makes you subscribed to his YouTube channel All things QB And it's always fantastic.

I saw you've been making the media rounds of this very, very exciting stuff. Very busy, man, And we definitely appreciate the time. So Teddy Bridgewater looks pretty sharp out there.

So I think You know, Honestly, he did a great job He competed. He I think there were two or three real big misses. When you look at the tape in terms of okay, The ball should have gone here inside the structure of this offense, and it really makes no sense for it to go here. Um, I think one of them is completely out of character and the ball that he throws on the early third down. He just throws to go and you really should read that one shallow, deep paying. So that was kind of weird. Teddy, normally Does the opposite. And then I think on the boot. He misses a wide open corner route when he's trying to throw it to the flat that ends up going off the D and helmet. Um, I mean, other than that, though, I think you know, I don't think there's a lot to Really hate. I think there's some big plays that he made when Vic decided to go for it, which was probably Another kind of shocking thing to Broncos fans. But I do think, teddy overall, I don't know if there could have been a better start for him when you really compare it to kind of what he's done throughout the league. Yeah, I think watching this game you were talking about? Not a lot to hate. There isn't a lot to hate You like it. I don't think anybody expected Teddy to go out and have the best game of his career, which he did. But, you know, I think that there was there was a lot like there's some things that you know the A J. Hammer drop us a little under thrown. There was there was a couple things here there, but it's just nit pick. And I think when you know when all said and done, uh, you know the highlight play, I think for most people is going to be where he stiff armed disease of gallery through the Earth. As he was running to the sideline there and then threw back across his body to the middle of the field and every coach on Earth and anybody who's ever coached or played quarterback is saying No, no, Do not throw that back. And then And then, as soon as he's Yes, great throw great throw The one that he stiff armed the guy like you're talking about. That's the one. We're in the quarterback room like you're in there watching on Monday because everybody else has the day off, and you're watching film and you're sitting in there and you all start laughing because you're like there's no shot in hell that you thought you were going to do that. Everybody dying, laughing because it just happens, right? Your eyes are downfield color. You know, Jersey color flashes and you put your arm out and then you end up just Stone and somebody and everybody in the quarterback room just loved it. So I think it's one of those things that if you're an asked Eddie, obviously, that's you know, not something we're going to count on for 17 games that you make that play, But I think He did a good job in terms of creating with his legs and not, you know, I'm no confusion with Russell Wilson, right? Or the guy playing right now for the raven Derek Carr for those guys, but I do think You know, I do think you did a good job creating, and I think you know, strategically wearing his helmet as loose as he did with such an advantage. Because then we got the worst 15 yards unnecessary roughness I've ever seen just because we had an elusive helmet, so I You know Teddy's laying on the ground smiling. I don't know how you throw 15 yards when the guys laying on the ground looking at you laughing, but, uh, you know, I just think, yeah, Like like you're saying it was You know, I don't you would know you guys would know better than me in terms of hey, his whole entire career. But I would say this probably is up there in terms of the most efficient game that he's played. And then also, you know, calm. Pounding that efficiency was he was driving the ball down the field, so I think there's a lot to really love. If you're Bronco's saying about his performance there, two plays that stand out to me and I want to ask If they were under throws. If they were mistakes by Teddy, the first one he mentioned there with the KJ Hamler deep pass that Ben said that that he thought that was not only a bad spot for Teddy to throw the ball to, but it was also under thrown. Should have come up with it. It hit him in the stomach, but we'll get to that. The other one was passed down the sidelines and Noah Fant that was super short. Hit the defender in the back, basically, so I wanted to know based on what those two were. What did you notice? And what is? What are we gonna see in the breakdown? Yeah, well, I mean, listen, I'm going to nerd out about the one that he under throws the fan because it's what we call Why shallow special, but it's off of their deep pain or their Seahawk, which they run. So much of So to me, This is like the this is the you know, High five to Pat Shurmur, because it's like, dude recognize. Hey, we leave the league and running two by two. You know, Seahawk, let's go ahead and throw shallow special off of it. And by God, it was wide open, right? We've got to hit that one. You thought, Teddy, I mean, You know, he was pissed right? Like he knows being well that he under through it, And that you know, should be a chunk play. The other one is the same exact play for Minnesota. Right? Everyone in the league. Run that right now It's easy. Read where both those guys Are really on. Hey, go ahead and take the roof off. But if you can't sit at 16 to 20 yards Well, we just so happen to have the one doing the NFL outside of Tyreek Hill, who doesn't have to sit right? You have KJ Hamler like there's two people consistently on film who don't sit on that easy read, and it's KJ Hamler and Tyreek Hill. That's it. That's the only two guys in the NFL right now that have proven you know what I can just run by you. No matter what coverage you're in. And then bend 100%. Right, Teddy just under through that, right? That's not like, you know, when you have KJ hamler out there, go ahead and let it rip. But you better let that thing refer early, I think You know again. I don't want to start like hello. Drew would have done this. But that is the one that drew hit in Minnesota. Right? And I think in terms of what does Teddy need to do?.

It is quite possible that I was very, very, very wrong. Very wrong. And if it's going to look like that every single week Oh, my goodness. The Broncos are in good, good hands.

Why'd open all day long? Oh, you want to take away? Uh, Jerry? Judy, Okay. We're going to take KJ hamler and flip your entire defense around. And you know what? We're going to blow the top off your defense, and I couldn't believe that he dropped that ball. I know them all. By the way that we should just see. Like Drew like you complete that exact same pass. Oh, my goodness. Right down the same of your entire defense. And he dropped it right on KJ Hamlet, and he dropped the ball. Good thing we scored on that drive, but oh, my goodness does Oh, and he threw it. He taught me been, though more perfect than it was. I didn't know. I'll I did was like, Oh, you gotta be kidding me, man. That play was one of what? That was one of the players yesterday that we got to talk about. I mean, that was just That was crazy. But Jerry Judy, man, you know, good news. Good news about Jerry. Judy is Jerry Judy and, uh, you know, hopefully he'll be back this year. Uh, sometimes you know, we saw early We saw early, um, indications that it's 4 to 6 weeks. Uh, high ankle sprain. You know, we we We talked to, uh Dr Schneider. Dr Snyder, who said it may be a little longer than that, but good news. He's coming back. He's going to make his way back. This football season. You did point out, though, that every it seems like the most Common answer You get injuries in the National Football League is Hey 46 Weeks 4 to 6 weeks, six weeks, but on that Jerry Judy on that Jerry Judy Injury. You know, I got to take you to the play man because it was one of the best plays of the entire game because it was a third down play. It was a third down and seven play. And of course, uh, when you go back and you look at it Jerry Judy was putting guys in the blender all day long. But on this play in particular Jerry Judy man playing number 14 3rd down and seven the cushion that he is receiving from defensive backs. And ability to get open, man. You just can't beat this kind of movement along seven. Now Bridgewater in the gun.

"They were pretty high yesterday, but I Look, I said that they could have lost yesterday. And still been relevant in November and December. So a loss against the Giants doesn't depending on how they lost. They got blown out if they got You know if they lost to the Giants the way the Packers lost to the Saints, maybe I still think that the Packers Are going to bounce back. I don't think I would say that about the Broncos, certainly if they would have lost in that manner. To the New York Giants. It was a bit as big of a game as a week. One could be But even if they lost it, I still think that they had an opportunity with the way their schedule set up to be relevant late in the season. To have A much better year record wise than they had the year before. I hope that Vic Fangio continues. This way. I mean, what? What economy Or what a role reversal. From what you've come to expect. The Broncos on Sunday played a game think about this. The Broncos played a game where they had the less turnover prone quarterback. And the coach. That was less prone to making ridiculously Dumb decisions. In terms of challenges like Joe Judge threw a challenge flag on a touchdown. They're all reviewed. What do you throwing a flag for? He's burning timeouts said. Wrong time. What kind of freaky Friday alternate reality. Were we living in yesterday? That the Denver Broncos go into football game with the less turnover prone quarterback. In the More aggressive. But in the same way smarter Coach like even the Giants late in that game. It's like, why are you running the football and Barkley was averaging and look, say Kwan Barkley is not back to 100%. He's got he was on the pitch count. Broncos old friend Devontae Booker was in there for a lot of the game, like, Look, they didn't get the full power of, say, Kwan Barkley. But After three quarters of not getting it did Joe judge think? That all of a sudden, say Kwan Barkley was going to come alive and start running roughshod over the Denver Broncos. So I I even thought that the Giants lacked urgency when they needed to be urgent. The Broncos had urgency when they didn't have to be. URGENT. But just like I talked about to start the show with Teddy Bridgewater going back to Alberto going back to KJ Hamler showing that confidence in them Big Fangio, no matter is reasons. Whether he feels like he's got nothing to lose whether He? He's punch drunk. Whatever. Uh, whatever the whatever the reason why He chose to go for it on fourth down when he did it manifests itself in the eyes of the players. This guy has our back. This guy believes in us. And you thought during the preseason that maybe, and I know because I heard from Drew lock supporters. Oh, well, He just wants Teddy Bridgewater to win the job. That's why he's letting him go for it on fourth down against the Rams. Regular season game week one. He's letting Teddy Bridgewater go for it on fourth down. He has confidence in Teddy Bridgewater. Somewhere in there is a lot of confidence in him. Certainly more than the last guy. Hat. I'd love to see it for the entirety of the season. I don't think that we will. But really the only thing That you come away from that game. And and are disappointed about is that Jerry Judy injury and even then you got better news. Then you thought It looked bad. But look, it's a high ankle sprain and they're going to be they're not going to have him. For a while. And that's a that's a big loss. There's no two ways about that. But even the injury report on Jerry Judy, the prognosis was better than maybe you initially thought it was He didn't I didn't love the running game. I thought that Javonte Williams had flashes. But overall just wasn't consistent enough. Got bottled up quite a bit. Melvin Gordon the same thing and then all of a sudden, Melvin Gordon, but the 70 yard run and you feel much better about the running game. So even the things that didn't go that well for the Denver Broncos in the end, or actually better. We're actually turned out better. Then you thought they would two quarters in three quarters into that football game yesterday. Continue to take your thoughts on the Broncos. You could call or text into 522987 to. Of course, there are a whole bunch of other teams playing. On Sunday heard from Jason and how he feels about his New Orleans Saints deserves to feel the way he does. How about your favorite team? If you don't align with the Denver Broncos? How do you feel about your team? Yesterday. Open up the conversation, but Coming up. Next. I do want to talk about The other college football teams that call Colorado home. We talked about Air Force. Get back to them a little bit later. I want to talk about CEO and I definitely want to talk about CSU. On the bus front. Not a big moral victory guy, but Another day.

"Good. Yeah, I've got to give back, uh, Teddy's performance of beat up today, and it's just a shame that gambler couldn't come down with that deep balls. For this, and I was just impressed overall, um with performance, the long goals and parts of short stuff. All the people that you know we're through lock and his long ball. I thought, you know, Jedi put it right in there Now. He did, Steve, I'm with you on that. Thanks for the call that past two KJ Hamler was was definitely catchable. Was it a perfect pass? No. And he had the past. No fan down the right sideline that was under thrown to But again, That's the story gonna happen. You know, there was an underrated moment and we're gonna talk to Tim Jenkins tomorrow with Tim Jenkins on Mondays on Broncos Country tonight. There was a pass to Courtland Sutton, that was was a slant. A threat low And that's not an arm strength thing. I think that was an appropriate placement. I think he was putting in a place where Cortland sudden could shield his body. And maybe make a play on the ball, because if you would put it up, I think Courtland Sutton was going to get rocked. Teddy Bridgewater does a pretty good job with that anticipation. That's that's the thing that he does. I'd say extremely better than drew lock. Not a dig on Drew lock. It's just Drew luck has this Athletic arrogance that we often say or he believes he can throw the ball whenever he wants to. And because of that arm strength will throw the ball late. Sometimes. He gets there. But not necessarily with the anticipation that can always set your receiver up with the best possible salute as possible. Opportunity. Teddy Bridgewater, though meanwhile It doesn't really great job with anticipation, but they're on that past the deep 12 KJ hamler. That's probably one where you would want to put that out in front of him just a little bit. And let him run underneath it. And get the touchdown. Kid. You hammer had the steps he he was. He was running wide open. It's a past that Shouldn't be dropped. It's a past that shouldn't be missed at the pro level. 56690. It's okay. Waste into our health text line. 33713 85 85 great show.

My voice I've been going since nine o'clock this morning, so we'll see. My voice hangs in there. This one. Hey, the bills look like crap today. What's your thoughts It builds did look bad today. They were off. You knew the Steelers defense was really good. I thought it was a questionable decision to Make Zack Moss healthy scratch. I think he's their best running back. But they kind of went out as a you know, Josh Allen is the best running back kind of deal. And that could be effective. Josh Allen is the best player. I think Zack Boss has a lot more to off Russell. Surprised by that move today, to be honest. But they just really had a tough time getting on track, didn't they? The bills? Josh Allen 30 of 51 for 2 70. That's not the numbers were used to seeing Stefan Diggs. Nine catches for 69 Yards is that's well under what he should be doing, but you really couldn't get the run game going now, interestingly enough, but I didn't see this until now. Devin Singletary 11 carries for 72 yards 6.5 per carry. In the 25 yard or in there that helped that But there's something to be said about least those two guys. Josh Allen, Devin Singletary kind of holding up there into the bargain on the running game. Just they just seemed out of sorts. Wasn't wasn't one of those games. Josh Allen had a couple of fumbles, including one lost. Singletary at a couple fumbles. Didn't lose them, but Certainly not not good. So that's something that that the bills are going to build on. And you thought Because they were at home. They were taking a Pittsburgh Steelers game. I I don't I don't think that Roethlisberger has all that much left. I don't know. Maybe you guys see something else. They couldn't really get Nagy Harris Kony has 16 carries for 45 yards. Not good enough. Only one catch for four yards. That was supposed to be the change. We're supposed to see Pittsburgh reestablished the run. They're going to have some better matchups down the world. But then Roethlisberger checked the stat line out. 18 for 32 for 1 88. Yeah. That bubble is a good defense. But that is hardly What we come to expect from the Pittsburgh Steelers as an offensive unit. They skated by on the skin of their teeth today and in part because Josh Allen had an off day. That's not gonna happen very often. 33713 85 85 56690 is R K away Sin Tour health text line.

"To every Broncos game. All season Long Ko Way back with Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. I'm Dave Logan, the Broncos getting ready for their season opener on the road against the New York Giants. We talked about the Giants defense. Let's talk a little bit about your offense and you you have and you and I've talked about in the preseason some of your thoughts on some of the Some of the dudes you have on this Bronco's offense, but you look at let's just talk a little bit about since it's the first game of the wide receiver spot. Then I see Courtland back from that A CEO injury Jerry Judy, ready to take a step after a good rookie season and KJ Hamler talk a little bit about the receivers and sort of the mindset you have as that quarterback and what you expect from them. Yeah, I really I really just expect those guys that go out play with us Swagger that that you see you know it and practice and throughout the preseason. Those guys who Have so much confidence in themselves as as a whole and we have so much confidence in them as well. Um, those guys like you said a girl like Jerry, who's coming off of a good season. He wants to make this a great season. You know, season to remember, you got a guy like court was returning from injury. You know, I want to get him back to that Probo caliber player that We know he is, um, KJ guy who you know can do so much. He's extremely smart. He has a good feel for the game. Then you got Tim. Uh, Tim does all the dirty work, man. You know, sometimes, you know, he's in there blocking safeties blocking linebackers and It was good to, you know, turn on the tape and watch them how the success that he had last year, So no, we weren't. Those guys are just continue to build off the momentum that they had last season. It really just, you know, get things going. A lot of our energy comes from those guys when they break the huddle. You know, you still runs a lot of fromage would confidence with energy, and that's a sight to see. Uh, same question for the running backs. You know, Melvin Gordon looks like He's ready to have a big season. He was better in the second half of last year than the first half. And then you have, you know, a brand new running back in Javonte Williams, who looks like he's got the goods. I one of the preseason games, went back and looked at. I was really impressed with his blitz pickup. I mean, he stuck his helmet under the chin of one of the linebackers, which is an important component, obviously to just being in the game and that position but talk about both of those running backs. Both of those guys who work is fairly hard and it's been an emphasis on those guys and just being on the same page with the offensive line in the passing game, when it when it comes to protections, things like that, Like you said, you turn on the tape procedure, Vontae. Picking up pressure in the preseason throughout the course of training. Melbourne has been doing a good job with that as well, Um, we know that they're screaming, gifted runners, Um and You know, those guys do a great job of just, you know, finding the lane and making one cut not doing too much. And you know, critics opposed runs for us. So, um, no, they expect. You know those guys to huge parties. Office know whether it's running the ball catching ball out of the backfield. Both of those guys are versatile, and we're glad that they're on our team. Teddy Bronco fans are excited about this. I know you are as well. I certainly am appreciate the time and good luck against the Giants Problem. Thanks day. That's Teddy Bridgewater, sponsored by the law offices of Dan Caplis is serious law firm for serious cases.

"Part of Centauri Health. I'm Ryan Edwards were walking you up to Broncos giants at 2 25 from MetLife Stadium and Boy It's exciting to have regular season football back to help me preview the game. We head out to the stadium and check in with color analyst Rick Lewis. Rick. It's a good to be talking about regular season football again, my friend. How are you? Yes, sir. It is. We got through three preseason games and we're ready to kick off the season. 2021 With your Denver Broncos. And, you know, I think a lot of people feeling pretty optimistic about this year. Certainly I want to know about your optimism, though, for the new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, because that has been a little bit of a mixed bag for some fans. Considering some of the mixed bag performances we've seen over the course of his career. So what are your expectations for him in this offense? Well, Teddy is going to be the fifth Broncos quarterback to start week one in five seasons, and Dave and I were just talking about it. I think that Teddy Bridgewater will bring us the best quarterback play that we've seen here. Since Peyton Manning left. I also think it's worth noting that Teddy will be the first black quarterback to start for Denver in franchise history, and we'll probably get into that a little bit more later. But the two primary reasons that he won the job in preseason was his pocket presence and his ability to work the pocket and buy time. He's one of the most accurate passers in the National Football League. Since he came into the league. He's cool. He's calm. He's confident I would expect them to be rock solid today makes them throws when they need them to and play a clean, efficient game. I think that's what you'll see from him and you know to help him out on offense. Get Courtland Sutton back, and that's just going to be so big. I don't think we can really Overstate his importance to the offense is certainly seemed like last year, we saw his impact not being out there on the field. Courtland made the Pro Bowl. Of course, 2019. He was poised to have a monster year last year with rookie Jerry Judy on the other side of losing him. I think definitely put a lot more pressure on not only drew lock at quarterback. But the rest of this young receiver corps having him back and healthy, I predict Jerry Judy is going to take a big step this season from last season and put up Pro Bowl numbers. No offense to do the same. And we should see more production from KJ Hamler as well Healthy Courtland Sutton Man. He brings a lot to that wide receiver room and not only as a player, but also as a leader on the team. It seems like Corton Is the leader of this offense, and I think he was really missed last year 100%. I'm glad you brought up the leadership portion because even Jerry Judy KJ hammer. Those guys brought that up How much they really missed that they could have used his presence in the locker room doesn't mean that Tim Patrick didn't have some impressive moments. Don't have a single drop last year, but Corland sudden is just a game changing wide receiver will stay in the office for one more question here. I just want to ask you about Melvin Gordon and rookie Javonte Williams. I mean, people are pretty fired up about this 12 punch. So you have this this first game here against the Giants? What do you think, is the value of having to kind of similar style running back that like that physical style play? Well, number one. I don't think you could have enough quality running backs in the Broncos have two big, versatile backs and Gordon and Williams. I expect Melvin Gordon to carry the bulk of the load in this game. He really is a quality three down back. I think the same could be said for Javonte Williams. He's just yet to show it in the National Football League. So you know what you're getting with Melvin Gordon. So I think they'll lean heavy on him here today, Williams could be the hammer on short yardage situations down near the goal line. Although Gordon has shown he's got a nose for the goal line as well in his career, I just love having both of these guys on the team. It can't wait to see what Williams can do, man. He he was just a monster running back in every way. At North Carolina last year, and I would expect him to bring that same level of play to the National Football League, agreed. Let's go to the defensive side. Great to have Von Miller back. You get Shelby Harris, Mike Purcell and you know what? The Giants were the second most sacked team in the NFL last season. We know about Daniel Jones propensity with fumble issues so I guess is we're ranking this thing. What level of importance to put on the pass rush dictating the outcome of the game today? Well, the weakest link of this Giants team as their offensive line. They've been awful the last couple of seasons and Daniel Jones sacked 45 times in 2020. And we're all hoping to see health. Yvonne and Chub, starting together in 2021 against the Giants will see about Chubb is going to be a game time decision. But we know what Malik read can do. He had a good year last year. He's What? Eight sacks last year. So Alec Reid is nobody to sleep on. If Chuck can't go here today, and we've seen in inspired in fresh energy from von Miller In camp. I'm sure you guys have noticed it as well. He says he wants to be the best pass rusher in NFL history. I'm motivated. Von Miller is bad news for opposing teams. I think the pass rush today will be the difference in winning this football game. 100% with you last one. Here, let's go. One key player on offense. One key player on defense for the Broncos to win. On defense. As I just said Von Miller can wreck the season opener for the Giants. Offensively, all eyes are on Teddy Bridgewater to see what he can do with a very talented core. Of young receivers in an approved offensive line, So I'll say von Miller on defense and Teddy on offense. Alright. Love it, Rick. Always great to have a great call. Appreciate the time man. Art Ryan. Thanks. All right. There is color analyst Rick Lewis joining me from the stadium and, yeah, I mean, you need your quarterback to be a key player and then your best player on defense. I mean, I think that the opportunity for state Justin Simmons interception today would also be something that the Broncos are looking forward to. I mean, Hey, you got to be a team that puts that pressure on the front. It's the turnovers on the back end, and that's certainly away. Vic Fangio is hoping to attack the New York Giants today. Alright when we come back or voice of the Broncos Dave Logan sits down with our insider Benjamin Albright. That is going to be next. Right here on the Broncos radio network, introducing.

"Why is he now they're starting quarterback? The only explanation for what's going on in Denver. Not drafting Mac Jones or Justin Fields, not committing to drew lock, they must just believe that Aaron Rodgers is going to be their quarterback connector. They must have this plan in their head that they're going to trade for Aaron Rodgers. Nothing else makes sense. Now I want to talk about their defense. I got sidetracked there. Adding Ronald Darby was a good move for their secondary. He's a good corner. They have two good safeties, Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson. It's a good secondary. Up front Denver has von Miller, Bradley Chubb, both are studs. With this roster is incredible. Take a listen to this Bronco's offense and how much better, by the way it would be if Aaron Rodgers was throwing them in the ball. They have running back Melvin Gordon. They have four great receivers, Jerry Judy, coral and Sutton, Tim Patrick, and KJ hamler. They have a star tight end know a fantasy about to have a breakout year, then we're also as a good offensive line. Look, I would love to see teddy Bridgewater lead this team to a Super Bowl. That would be fantastic. And this is the best team that he's ever been on. And it'd be a magical story. It'd be fantastic. But I don't believe it's going to happen. I'm not holding that hope. I have the Broncos going 9 and 8, and underachieving having a disappointing year. And unfortunately, man, I look at the number of Bronco season. I think we're always going to look back and go dude. They passed on Mac Jones. Dude, they passed on Justin Fields, and the fact that Patrick sartan, the guy they passed on Mac Jones and Justin Fields for, isn't even starting is so frustrating. And it's crazy how one position can make all the impact on their team. I've never going 9 and a underachieving not winning Super Bowl not making the playoffs, even though they're capable of that, unfortunately, their quarterback is going to hold them back. Guys, I did it. Holy flip, man. I'm done. All my predictions are now recorded. You know what sucks? Really hard. I recorded like 20 minutes of recording that last it's probably gonna have to chop it up. It's gonna be a bunch of weird cuts and everything. I recorded for 20 minutes and my audio wasn't even recording. And I'm like, are you sleeping kidding me? I was so upset, but now we're done, officially. What time is it? It is. 9 25 p.m., the night before sports start. And then we're in a week one begins. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go edit this stuff, put it out. I love you. I appreciate you. I will see you tomorrow night for reactions to NFL week one guys, until next time, but bam, we are done..

"Broncos country tonight. Ryan Atwood, Benjamin Albright, Let's head out to the hotline and bring on Russell Brown Rust NFL draft on Twitter. He's with cover one, and he's going to help us preview the Broncos season especially what you expect from the rookies as well as what are some early observations from college football. Russell Thank you for joining us. How worried tonight? I am doing awesome. I appreciate you guys always letting me come on and talk a little football and maybe talk a little nonsense. Um, when whenever we get the chance, so I appreciate it. Well, I'm here for the nonsense so definitely well, let's let's start with the Broncos rookie class. I think everybody is kind of excited to see what some of these guys can do. They definitely shown some nice flashes. During training camp in the pre season will start at the top with patch or tan. What did you think about Pastor Tim coming out of Alabama? And what can Broncos fans expect this year from that rookie cornerback? Well, there's certainly being a crowded cornerback room as we all kind of extract them, and it's very deep secondary in Denver. Ultimately, I think when he does get an opportunity to play, and I think again, he will. He will play quite frequently being that he is the first round pick. I think you're going to see a lot of good things. I mean, he's a natural athlete. He's got great athleticism. With good length in that length is what really separates and I think from a lot of the other corners is, uh, last year's class. I had him as my top right corner and I just love the skill set. He comes from that NFL background that had agreed with his dad playing in the league for so long, So I think the Apple will not fall too far from the tree with caiman. He's going to be really can't again. I love the length. I like that He can play in zone. He can play a man and you trust that lengthen and when he does get beat, I mean, there are times that he's not the past this guy when he's when he's lined up across that, let's say it could Darius Tony or something like that. They blow by it, but he recovers incredibly well, and he closes that gap. So I think he's going to be a long time player for the prompt to be very successful, and ultimately this rookie season. There might be some office. There might be some downs. But again, I think the long term is going to be really good for him in Denver. You know Vic Fangio's talk the last couple of years about wanting to go to almost, you know, four that dime is base four corner set up as base, and this year he's going to get to get the opportunity to do that. Pastor Tans is a bigger corner, and it gives him kind of the opportunity to be a bit more versatile. Line him up against tight ends like their Waller. Travis Kelsey, how big a thing do you think that's going to be And do you think that defense will hold up against, you know, rushing attacks? That they're going to have to face throughout the year. They certainly can. I mean, the skill set is there up front, and I love the idea of it. I mean, I think when you can run those those multiple defensive packages in your secondary from a nickel and a dime base, uh, more frequently than most teams, I think it gives you again a lot of versatility as you kind of mentioned there, as you can do a lot of different things of lining up with slot receivers tight ends running back out of the backfield. When you have Bradley job and bomb Miller, you're able to do that. If they can stay healthy, you're able to do a lot of different things. So I think it makes a lot of sense before big wants to do And I really like the idea of it, and it works with the help. I think you're gonna see a lot of success. So I'm all for for the Broncos on doing there's been a lot of conversation about what the Broncos are going to look like what? Their running backs and we've seen Melvin Gordon, these running back one out here He's getting paid. The most money makes a lot of sense. Plus gives you an opportunity to bring around. Bring along your second rounder Javonte Williams. But John T. Williams talent is kind of unmistakable. It's pretty amazing to watch and I I liked watching that U. N c last year. Certainly an electric player. He might even be better in person. What do you think about Javonte? I'll be honest. I'm quite jealous that you guys get to interview him, probably a little bit more frequently than I get a chance to and he was one of my favorite players. Last year. I thought he was a part five. Back from the moment I laid my eyes on him. He just kind of has that it factor not maybe the same type of it factor that a child it's might bring to an offence. But again, I think it's just a different type of dynamic with him running the football because you can catch passes out of the box field, But he's incredibly elusive for a player of his size, and when he can, he gets into the open field. It's just it's different. I mean, he does. He doesn't look like he would move that well for a player of his size, but he's physical. Is again a lot more quicker than you. Can you give them credit for and I love it that skill set that he provides for Denver. Now that Philip wins, he has gone. Rice remains gone. You bring in this kid and Melvin Gordon goes down. You have a solid option behind him. But also again, you have a nice 12 punch as we're seeing teams across the league really trying to establish that, I think A little bit more frequently, even though you know you take Green Bay. For example, even though they've got Erin Jones. They've had plenty of running back from the last couple of years. You look at Detroit. They have the android Swift. But they added, you know Jamal Williams this past off season, so I think it's very common across the league for teams to do that, and I love that. Denver is doing it with some uncertainty at the quarterback position. Whether it's You know Teddy Bridgewater one week and drew up the next whatever it might be, I think the most frequent the most consistent thing that is going to be able to run the football whether it's Melbourne border Devante Williams, So I loved Evan Williams for from Denver and what he provides You know, there's a question about running the footballs question about throwing the football. You've got some talented receivers in Denver. In addition to the tight ends, you get the Courtland Sutton, Jerry, Judy, Tim, Patrick and KJ Hamler just a breakout year for for the speedster KJ Hammer. It feels like right. I mean, I feel like that's what we've all been waiting on. Is this guy just to come out and kind of break out with 70 80 receptions close to 1000 yards receiving, but also, maybe have 50 60, Russia's as well because you can use them in a variety of ways that it feels like all purpose yards. This guy could be one of the top in the league. It hasn't necessarily happened yet, but you know when you get the ball in his hands, he's a difference Maker. And when you mention all these names from Patrick Sutton, Judy One of those guys is probably going to get double teamed. Maybe not all the time. But a J Hammer is going to have a lot of one on one situations. He's going to have a lot of success. I think in the short and intermediate areas of the field, so can he break out? Absolutely. But if the quarterback plays is inconsistent, which I think at times it will that will limit him a little bit again. If they are run first offense. It's tough to say exactly what they're going to be. But If they are run first office that might take some targets and shares away from him. But if somebody goes down like, you know, God forbid, Courtland, something goes down again. Or Jerry Judy or something. Yeah, handles where the talent is there, and I think he can certainly break out. But it's really more so wait and see with him because he's been around for a little bit of time. And we haven't necessarily seen it. Come all together for you. Russell Brown joining us at Rust NFL draft on Twitters and National Scout Recover one. Let's talk about a couple of Ohio State guys. The Broncos drafted In barren browning and, uh, Jonathan Cooper..

"That's that's kind of my gut based on and then see how he responds for Friday, right? Some conversations that were had today But tomorrow is gonna be the pivotal day for Bradley Chip. I think no offense going to play But you know Bradley Child is that's the one that's the gigantic question mark, and then I'll field stuff occurring at that's just one extra headache on top of it. Also, how does this impact the game? I mean, Because we know Von Miller is good. He's full participant. Good to go. The the offensive tackles for the Giants, Andrew Thomas and Nate Solder, actually playing right tackle. So we know what Malik read is we know Malik read is a serviceable Spot starter. He's a good player is a guy you need on your team. In the event of either rotation or an injury. But it's certainly not the Von Miller Bradley Chubb Show that we've all been anxiously anticipating this entire off season. Is it right hands? Von Miller will be up against solder and Matt Peart on the right side there. Um, if I don't know, Perch plan or not, but He was the the starter last year. Solder doesn't really have a lot. He's not the same player he used to be. And that's a mismatch in bonds favor on the other side, Andrew Thomas, That's where you need somebody who like a Bradley Chubb. I don't think Malik readers got enough power to be the guy to beat Andrew Thomas consistently. Andrew Thomas is not impressed Me. He didn't impress me coming out of the draft, and certainly last year in his first year, I thought he struggled, but You'd also save the entire offensive line struck their offensive line is bad. And they got Shane Lemieux. There is a serviceable left guard. Um, I would call him die Adult Horizon. Er will Hernandez Hernandez is okay at the right guard. Their centers is Nick Gates, and he's not very good in his backup is Billy Price, who was terrible. And in Cincinnati. Oh, that's right. They did get Billy Price right. And so you know, you've got an offensive line. That's just not that good. Overall, It's a bottom six or seven offensive line in the league, which is great news for the Broncos, who, maybe even without Bradley Chubb have basically the full complement of defensive line back. Expectations of Draymond to be up expectations with Mike Purcell, along with Shelby Harris back at the defensive line. Plus again, you know, McAlpin a game had I mean, depending on if he's a healthy scratch or not, but he had a really nice off season training camp. So I mean, I think there's some reasons to be excited about the matchups here. It just feels like a bit of a letdown, not having Bradley Chubb out there and again. I'm not saying that he's not. I'm just saying that he's not going to 100%. I think we know that for certain and there may be limitations on how much they'll actually use them in game. Based on the fact that we're still at this point now in game week on Wednesday, and he still can't get a full practice. Yeah, I'm wondering if we're gonna get to see a little bit of coop. I wonder if we're gonna get a little see. Let me go to Jonathan Cooper. Yeah. Um you know, I I He he put on a show in training camp, and I wonder if we're gonna get to see a little bit out of him. Platooning because I don't know Malik is more the other side. You know, Malik is better, Uh, when? When going up against the right tackle. That was where he made most of his living last year. And so I kind of think that they want to keep him over there. And so I I wanted to ask that question. I didn't really get a chance to today because with the practice, but I didn't go to the pressers which were before right up after like, they usually are. So I my my plan is to kind of slip that question in tomorrow. Certainly, and you're you're right. Tomorrow is going to be a pivotal day for for a lot of reasons, But specifically, those two players know a fan being out in the field and I need an argument. It was it was that you were off. But I made an argument that Alberto Cola Bernam might end up being the Broncos best. Tight end by the end of this season is a better blocker. He is he can be a complete receiver. The drops are something that we're gonna have to monitor. But no fan had drops to. We saw that even in training camp, so I made kind of the point of like, Hey, listen, If we're really having a conversation about this, I don't think it's outlandish. By the end of the year. We're saying that Alberto Cuevas I was actually the Broncos best tight end. It's possible. It's possible. Um, it's possible. I wouldn't say it probable, but it's possible. No if no fans really worked on quite a bit to get himself worried, super talented, he's just limited right now, and it's certainly an on field weapon like, Don't go. No Internet advantage, tight end sets to see Oh, get out there, and that's a question. I want to get into a little bit later on, because Jackson right, a guy Ted win, actually put in an article talking about the teams. I have the best. Uh, they went he went through. Hold on. Let me pull this up right now. He went through the best personnel groupings. And and how each team across the NFL Broncos showed up on this, By the way the best personnel groupings in the NFL. The Broncos showed up on this list. And I want to ask you a little bit later on specifically about that, Like what's the Broncos Best personnel grouping? I don't think it's an automatic 11 personnel even with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick. I don't know. If 11 is best suited for what this team wants to do, So I want to have that conversation with you a little later on, and I'll tell you where the Broncos showed up on this. Okay? Okay. So we'll get to that Ted Ted Wind crushes it over the athletic. This is a really good article, but We'll get into that a little bit later on like, so we're gonna hear from Teddy Bridgewater Broncos are tired of losing man. It's palpable. It comes up every single press conference. They're sick of being asked about it. They're sick of talking about these things to think about. I loved Melvin Gordon's answer today. About it. We We don't have enough time right now. But he talked about being tired of losing and tired of watching Patrick Mahomes lift up Championship trophies. We great answer. Yeah, it is. I got some stuff I want to get into in the next segment. Actually, we got George, okay. Real quick and I have had some conversations with some players over the last two days, some off the record private on background, you know, kind of stuff..

"Receivers and one tight end. So you go 11. That is the best. There is the best most function. There are matchups where 12 works better. There are matchups where 10 works better for them. I mean, can you imagine a get on the field and having to defend Tim Patrick Courtland, sudden KJ Hamler and Jerry Judy and Melvin Gordon the same time? So what would you run more of, uh, we would probably have 11 is our base, but we go 12 and you know in certain short yardage situations and run off play action. For that for that back in tight end on a drag, and then we'll probably go. Uh, we we could split out the four wide where the field is longer than it is wide and really messing people up. The thing that I wanted to hear from you that I was interested to hear from you is I'd love to see some gun to back to see that's no. There it is. That's it. That's what I got right there. It's me. I knew it. I knew you were going to get there. The problem is just taking people off the field. So you have to go to where the field is wider than it is long. Alright, Right. Take KJ hamler off the field. Okay? And then you run a three wide No tight end set. Talk to me, Goose. Come on with Melvin Gordon and Labonte Williams in the backfield lined up, you know? Yeah. And lined up back in the T. Now you're feeling it and, uh And you know, they need to use Jerry Judy on the post. You use, uh Courtland. You can even get a slap behind it. You can run a square in behind it. And then Tim Patrick's gonna run something like a slant on the backside. When you put those running backs out the flat home on man and get vertical dude, come on now. And and it fits your quarterback. See, That's what that this whole thing is a round about way to talk about what this offense needs to be, not what we think It's going to be what it needs to be, because we think it's going to be. It's gonna be 11 personnel because that's what Pat Shurmur does. It's just what he is. But what is better for Teddy Bridgewater? Heck, I have conversations about multiple tight ends. You talked about 12 personnel. What about 22 personnel? Uh, not for the I mean, if you'd run in that you've got to run some kind of shotgun, too tight ends one receiver to back in the T kind of said because the Broncos already have a fullback. I mean, you're you're you're talking about putting Andrew back on the field. You gotta pull Jerry Judy off the field. To put Andrew back on it. I'm not saying predominantly, I'm saying he doesn't really like as a baggage is a goal line sub package thing, Okay, but I mean, are you really telling you're gonna pull either Jerry Junior Kordell sent off the field so she could put Andrew Beck on it? No, no disrespecting respect, But let's be honest here. That's not putting your best personnel out there to try school. That's fair. That's fair enough. I mean, we're having an open conversation here, but the point that I wanted to get to Was about having both running backs on the field and the value of that, knowing that Teddy Bridgewater with check downs with the designed Czech towns that sometimes leaves in his head. As you have opportunities there to get those guys involved. These guys are very, very good catching passes out of the backfield and you're going to be using the tight ends. You're gonna be hitting those drags with the wide receivers. Man. I'm telling you what Efficiency sometimes gets knocked as boring. In this case that efficiency could mean some pretty special performances out there. Well, yeah, You know, you've got to have people created after the catch. If you're gonna talk about being an efficiency based quarterback and doing that kind of thing you've got to have guys that can create after the catch in Devante, Melvin Alberto fan, Judy, Those girls guys can give you that Cortland really isn't a creator after the catch guy. But the other guys, the other guys can do that. And so I think you've got to run packages where you got those guys on the field. Who are your best? This is an interesting question, because I don't know. I don't think there's a wrong answer. Here are your best. Offensive weapons. Well, I mean, like, rank them one through five. It depends on what you're looking for, though, because everybody brings something different to the table If you're asking for me, who's uh, who's the third down? Um, who's Who's a third down guy? You know, in the mid game that almost eight Tim Patrick, he doesn't drop the football is a reliable target. If you're asking me, uh, you know who is going to be the slant back shoulder curl and come back guy. I'm telling you this popcorn, Sutton. If you're asking me who's the, uh you know, the mid route guy that you put the ball in his hands. Let them create after the catch This pride Jerry Judy. You're asking me who? The who The vertical weapon is bright KJ handler. If you're asking me who? The off the pick. Uh, you know, you run, you know y stick or you running some kind of pick play. I'm saying no offense, Er or Alberto. So there's all kinds of there's all kinds of different options. There just depends on what you're trying to do. I don't know. They have a best offensive weapon. I think they have best situational weapons. Okay, So is that Do you see that as a strength then? Best situational weapons. What? I I guess I'm kind of getting at is we know who this corner the starters are. We know the guys. They're going to be out there the most right sudden, Judy. Tim Patrick KJ hamler To a certain extent, they're probably be alternating a little bit. We know no fans could see the field as long as he's healthy, Albert Okay, Bottom gets chance to be mixed in, or Sal Bert, some version of Andrew Beck. And then, of course, you're running backs Melvin Gordon and Davante Williams and I, I'm wondering based on what they're trying to accomplish. What we think their identity is going to be who are there? Five. Most effective Weapons were the five most effective offensive players that tape Bridgewater can involve. I think Jerry Judy is probably the top of the list. And I'd say the running backs are somewhere around. Maybe three and four. If you want to put Courtland Sutton in their number two so that if you get through those four Then I guess five would be maybe KJ Hamler because he stretches the field. But then what about the tight end? See that? That's where I think this is kind of a intriguing conversation. Because this list would be different with Drew luck, It would not be the same list. The five most important offensive players to Teddy Bridgewater are Sharon Bowles, Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushion, Barry Graham Class, Kyle and so boring. Don't Don't be boring. Those are the one he daddy Bridgewater has to have protection in order to to work effectively. Of course he does, because otherwise he won't go vertical any better, but that those are the weapon like that. You know who you a skill position player? Yes, that's it. Uh, well, then, you know We already listed them. Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, No fan. And then take your I didn't. I didn't listen to it. And then KJ Hamler and Alberto. I mean, Tim quarterbacks, Great woman, but I mean, yes, but you can be interchangeable. He's gonna dump it down to the running backs. You know all the time anyway. Those other guys need to be able to clear things out. They need to be able to creative to catch.

"Has been in the past and what drew lock has been in the past. Absolutely. Wait on this. And it was the reason why I thought Vic Fangio going into it wanted Teddy Bridgewater. With his job on the line. He did not want to trust drew lock. In that situation. But that's just based on the stuff that we knew about. Now we know about this that clearly Vic Fangio knew about. They weren't going to leak this. They weren't going to try to embarrass anybody by doing this. But now that this has come to light You do have to wonder a little bit. How that affected Not only the way that drew lock was perceived by his head coach. By the way, he was Perceived by his teammates. After that. You know one thing that I said The shift happened. With Teddy Bridgewater. The shift that happened was now the Broncos had a quarterback that was there to make his teammates better and not the other way around. The sole purpose. For the existence of Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy. KJ Hamler Noah Fant. Was to make drew lock better. That's why the Denver Broncos when Jerry Judy, followed by KJ Hamler in that draft a couple years ago or last year. That's why they did that. To make drew lock better. Teddy Bridgewater becomes the quarterback in his job is to make his teammates better. It's not about Kao Tao ng to drew lock. And that's One of the many reasons why Vic Fangio made the right decision. Because now it's time to look At Hamler and Judy and Fant and Sutton. And and now Javonte Williams. How are we going to get them better? We did everything to make drew lock better. And it didn't work out. It didn't at least work out to the extent that it needed to And he said Drew lock couldn't simply Edge out Teddy Bridgewater. He had to beat him by Fairly sizable margin. Because of all the other stuff. That I mentioned..
Patriots Beat
Patriots at Dolphins: Alain Poupart breaks down Miami's running game
"The Houston was really the only team I would say that actually through on the Patriots effectively this year and DeShaun Watson besides Russell Wilson all the way back in week two thousand. I am curious, you know, the Dolphins do they have a running game. Do you think that they can do that with because I don't see it, but I don't want to I don't want to be biased over here. Either way. I mean, there are 30 second in the league in rushing yards per attempt. They were missing their top three rushing leaders last Sunday against the Chiefs. What's a be perfectly blunt? None of them are impact players Matt breida came off the covid-19. Wednesday obviously he'll be back. When he hasn't made much of an impact after coming over from the 49ers in the in the trade Myles Gaskin is on the Cove in list and he's a nice story as a second-year seventh-round pick who laughs basically got a cup of coffee in terms of playing time this year and he basically became their feature back and he's got some ability. But in a in an Ideal World Cup gasket is your backup is now your future back in this is what the Dolphins are dealing with our offensive line. Also a good story much better than was last year. They're starting three rookies with Austin Jackson am handsome in kinloch. but when you start three rookies pretty much ninety-nine percent of the time you're going to go through some growing pains and their offensive line while again exponentially better than what last year is still not great. Let's say it's worked in like but they're not a whole lot of big old being open in the running game and you don't have running backs off will make a lot of things happen on their own. So there's a reason again there there are thirty-second in the NFL in rushing yards per attempt and complicating matters. This week is they have injury issue is that wide receiver position where they also have a lot of players but not a whole lot of impact players. So you mentioned might get sick you earlier I believe and now he's got a shoulder injury where we can't get any Clarity from Ryan Flores as to his status for this week. It's all we'll see is working on all that. But if you saw the injury really really hard to Envision him playing cards Devante Port Parker pulled a hamstring or had a hamstring injury against the Chiefs you came out in the first app did not return. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, so hopefully play it but then if he plays this carrying a hamstring injury. And then so who else do you have left after that now you're looking at your team Grant who is more of a return specialist and and then their shuttle pass receiver gadget Play type of player on offense. He's also got a hamstring injury that knocked him out of Chiefs game. And then the rest of the wide receiver Corps is rookie limbo Junior who played multiple positions at Kentucky. You have a Mack Hollins who want to sign as a special-teams standout, which he is. He's very going to special teams but more so than the receiver and then you have one of the guys being talked up being able to make a major contribution as Isaiah Ford who you may remember from his three weeks with the Patriots after the acquired immune to trade in his office. I knew he was he didn't play it down for the Patriots. I knew how long is not going to last year when he got up here and he said it is freezing. I need a winter coat, you know, what am I going to do? And I just said look, I'm sure he's a fine football player. I'm sure he could make an impact on the team that needs wide receiver help but this guy does not seem like he wants to be in New England right now. Well, no, but he plays at Virginia Tech. So I'm so he's not like dead. He's from Jacksonville plant in Virginia tag, so it's not like he's not he's never been the call before and the thing about Isaiah Ford and then it was often friends are thinking. Well, Isaiah Ford is going to come and rescue the the passing game and that like life. He's a really really really nice good. And he might be in the league for ten years because he's got a great attitude. He works hard doesn't see anything. He's not an impact player. And right now this is what they have their wide receiver Corps. If she doesn't play they have nobody who's going to really scare the Patriots defense and if you you throughout the city also doesn't play. I mean who makes things happen on this office on Sunday? So that that's a big
