Rick Lewison stew with me five six six nine zeros or Kae common spirit health text line.

We'll hear more from bo Nix in just a second.

I like this, Rick.

We all know you just ate the pepper to impress your man crushed Dave.

How do you know Dave doesn't have a man crush on me?

Exactly?

He was the first guy to eat the show pepper.

Okay, right, so I think Dave was trying to impress me, honestly.

And you did eat a pepper, I did, right, that's right, right.

We both got a big laugh out of it.

It just so happened that the first pepper you chose wasn't very spicy, that's all right.

And then and then he it was worth the laugh.

It wasn't worth paying for it.

Later on that did he dare This is the one thing I don't know if I heard.

Did he dare you to have that pepper?

Yes?

Okay, so he dared you, Like after he's listening, you shaid.

Go ahead and have one because I was teasing him, got it, yeah, that he was being a baby.

Well, this is another reason why for everybody listened to the show.

We appreciate you to continue to listen to us on countdown to kick offf because Rick and I do a segment and sometimes he brings us inside the booth.

Like that, we talked about the chair and how that was in New Orleans.

Dave was rying.

You could hear him laughing so hard in the background.

He was crying while you were describing this tiny little chair that they put you in that you couldn't even see the field over the desk.

So moments like that priceless.

You know, you just all want you tuned in the broadcast, get ye, So.

Listen to our segment.

What do we call that segment?

By the way you and I do your name, I.

Don't think we've ever named it.

We know it for years now, but yeah, I just checking in with color analyst Ric Lewis.

But that's not a very I don't know, it's not a very stimulating title.

Not a title, is it.

But yeah, make sure you listen to the pregame show because stuff like we we we just talked about this off the air.

That was a quick mention in the pregame show.

You and me and here we are Wednesday listeners texting it.

We got a whole bunch of text coming in on schow peppers and show food.

That's incredible.

Yeah, So we talked about it in the last hour about the speaking of spicy things, Bonis Sean Payton interaction on the sideline, So Boenix was asked about it and this was hit.

So this is his description of the event.

So I want you to tell me if this is what it looked like to you, and if you agree with this, well, I think for whatever reason, we're allowing conversations to become bigger than what they are.

We oftentimes forget that it's a big stadium and a lot of people are talking at the same time.

So you've got to be a little bit louder and more vocal.

So that was just something as simple as he asked me what happened when the play I.

Told him, I turned he couldn't quite hear, turned back and told him again and.

There was no issue.

So yeah, it's just a quick conversation with the head coach and I think pressing.

You know, that's exactly what it looked like to me as well.

Yeah, and nothing more than that.

With that perspective, I can I can see that, Yeah, people.

Like to you know, it's this a good talking point because we used to see Sean Payton and Russell Wilson get in to it.

Uh, and it's it got a lot of talk on sports talk radio that was nothing and bo is spicy bo Bo's got some heat and soda.

Sean Payton and you're in the midst of the battle.

Things are going to be said in a heated way.

And it's and they may have they may have talked to each other in a in a heated way, but it is.

It was really loud in that stadium, Ryan, And that's why I wonder why they keep the roof closed all the time.

I think that's part of it.

I think they want it closed because it's even louder.

It just keeps that sound in there.

So I wouldn't read too much into that there was nothing going on there.

So official practice report for the Broncos today.

Nate Adkins, Nick Bonito, Alex Singleton all full.

So it's good to see Nadik Adkins finally getting in some full practice.

Uh.

Talanoa Hufong was limited with a chest injury, but he finished the game.

So we'll just put a pin in that.

Evan Ingram, Dray green Law and Justin sirnad All to nonpractice boy, you don't want to be.

Down, man.

Can we talk about Alex Singleton, Let's do it.

I feel like he hasn't fully recovered from that ACL He kind of felt like that.

You feel the same.

He just doesn't look the same.

Uh.

He's been a tackling machine these last few years with the Denver Broncos and even before that, and now he's not getting into the right position.

He's trailing on all the past coverage that he's on.

He looks like he's lost half a step.

Now can that come back?

He's thirty two years old.

I think it will come back to a point this season.

I just don't think he's quite ready.

He didn't play much in preseason.

He didn't he misspractice time because of the thumb.

And let's throw that in there too.

He does have two broken thumbs, the same thumb.

The same thumb broken twice.

He's been broken twice.

Yep, so there's that.

But I just feel like he's not the same player and they really need him to be the same player.

And it really showed Sunday against the Colts.

And let's hope he can get better and green Law comes back.

It'll make Singleton look better.

But you just Mentionedrenett out.

Is he questionable for Sunday?

No, we will not until Friday, So well, you could got two more days to even some practices.

I mean last week Evan Ingram did not I want to say, he didn't practice Wednesday and they went full full, So this might be just a way that they're managing it again.

These guys finished the game, So Wednesdays are a weird day.

Like lad mccaukee didn't practice today either for the Chargers.

But that's not one where I'm sitting here going lad mcconkee might not play this game.

I think right now, you just sort of wait, you see what tomorrow.

Tomorrow's a very telling day and then of course Friday's the official day where you really get the full marking of everything.

But it's more of indicative to your point of what the inside linebacker position not only looks like, but looks like if you even have less depth there.

Oh, they were thin to begin with.

Yes, going into the season, even with green Law and Singleton, we knew they were thin there and.

We talked about it a ton of this offseason and.

Green Law hasn't played yet.

Singleton I think is still playing with the acl of kind of hampering his mobility.

At least his mobility and his quickness and his cutting ability is lateral ability.

And Strena's a backup.

He's a special team flair.

He's played pretty well though.

He has he had the sack.

I mean, he fits with what they're looking for if he was in a more specific role, right, like the Drew Sanders role, where you have a guy that can come down hill.

He's got a lot of athleticism.

You like him in packages, you don't like him as a full time guy.

That's kind of the problem that you're at right now.

He needs to play a full time role.

And so we can come back and talk about this a little bit more because there's so many layers of this conversation, because once you show a bit of an achilles heel of what you are, every team is gonna come out.

I know you, yeah, you know the Chargers.

Oh my gosh, I can't wait to play this defense based on what we saw Sunday.

Right, Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren.

My goodness, yeah, yeah, the defense is better than what we saw Sunday.

Uh That being sad, they got to they got a rally, and I think this is a game that more odd study this game.

I think we're in for an upside on Sunday.

I want to I want to hear more about that.

Lad McConkie, Dan Henley, Elijah Molden and justin a bit, I'm gonna mess that up.

He's a defensive lineman.

He Dave Logan has to do this.

I know.

I so much respect for him to be able to do that.

But they're all not practicing, and cam Hart and Treeps still were limited.

So those are the practice.

They have five guys not practicing today, so once again they're all most of those guys.

Now, I did read somewhere that Elijah Molden with a hamstring that is one that bears monitoring.

There is some concern he will not play in this GUD.

So that of all of these injuries that I'm seeing on here, that's the one that I've heard from out there that they're most concerned with.

And of course Khalil Mack's not gonna play.

I'm gonna play.

Dislocated elbow, which seemed pretty obvious if you watch that or even saw a picture.

It was a pretty gruesome look and injury.

I feel better and better about this game as we here we are midweek.

I think maybe one reason why you saw some of those guys on the injury report today they had a late game on Monday and on the road and then had to fly back home.

I'm sure they probably got in it, maybe went to bed at four o'clock in the morning, because I know how that is, and that's a disadvantage.

Don't really understand that until you do it.

I mean, even as a broadcaster, you know, you get in you go to bed at four o'clock in the morning when you normally wake up at four.

You've completely flipped your schedule.

It takes a couple of days to recover, and so I think that works in the favor of the Broncos on Sunday.

I also think the fact that the Broncos lost a tough one on Sunday and they're a resilient team.

They've proven their resilient team.

You know, they've had some tough losses last year where they came back and won four games in a row twice last year.

So they are resilient, they're hungry, they have something to prove on Sunday, where the Chargers starting two to zero on a short week, we might catch them at just the right time.

So I'm feeling more optimistic about that game.

I'm inclined to agree with you, and I think we're just naturally optimistic people.

Anyway.

We say this every time, though, don't we.

Yeah, right, Well, see, you know it's an analyst.

You try to find a way to win a game, of course, you know, like a coach would, and you do the same.

You analyze these games as well, and you and I are both optimistic, so maybe we slamt that way.

Anyways, it's a little bit of a slant there, but I can talk myself into the way the Broncos lost this game, and if they had the right kind of leadership, which I believe they do, this could sort of embolden them a bit to focus, you know, a refocus in on the details.

And it's not to say that if they would have lost.

Or if they would have won the Colts game, that they would be overlooking the Chargers, because that's obviously not the case.

Here there's a division game.

You're never overlooking a division game.

But there's there's an opportunity to refocus and to understand and when they lost the Chiefs game.

You know that they I know what that did to that locker room crush.

It was they won four in a row after that.

They went That's exactly what I'm saying, Like they run for four in a row after that, and you know, weird, weird things happen.

You know, the Broncos were the beneficiary of this just a couple of years ago.

We didn't talk about it.

I hadn't mentioned it yet, but remember the Bills game when the Broncos missed the field goal.

Will Let's miss the field goal in Buffalo and then they had too many men on the field.

Will Let's got a second chance and he made the field goal.

That's what the league is.

Stuff like this happens all the time.

And I think that if you're Sean Payton, those are the kind of messages you're trying to get across to the guys.

And I know he will, but just I mean, I would point out that example.

Guys, we got the benefit of this exact situation just a couple of years ago.

It wasn't that long ago, and we won that game in Buffalo that nobody thought we could win as a result of getting some boneheaded penalty and look, too many men on the field.

Are you kidding me?

For the special teams defense, like the field blocking unit, that's one of the I mean, that might even be worse than a leverage, honestly, because the leverage at least is an attempt.

To try to block.

It's too many men on the field does even worse.

As a head coach, you're also a part time psychologist.

That's right.

And I love the way he handled this, I really do.

I think Sean Payton handled it the right way.

You don't want to crush these guys after a crushing loss.

He was building them up.

He was lifting them back up immediately, and you know, you could feel it being around them.

I felt like I felt horrible after that game, but I didn't feel like the team necessarily did.

I think they know they're a really good team, and I think they know that was a game they should have won, and just a bad bounce in football, like you said, it happens.

I think they're going to be ready to play on Sunday.

For Wednesday, September twenty fourth.

That's coming up here in about twenty minutes, so be listening for that cue to call in about twenty minutes, we'll give you a chance to win a pair of tickets to Chris Brown a Course Field Wednesday, September twenty fourth.

Rick Lewis in studio with me five six six nine zero.

We're also gonna hear some of the sound around the league.

We like to kind of have some fun with that.

We are both radio guys.

Listening to the radio calls from around the league is a lot of fun for me, kind of get a geek out to listen to some of the touchdowns.

We're going to that coming up here in just a little bit.

But yeah, we're we're both leading a little more optimistic.

But I want to come back to a conversation we started at the beginning of this hour about the inside linebacker, because if there is something to maybe keep me up at night, it's probably what's going on with the inside linebacker.

But you brought up a good point about Alex Singleton, and it reminded me about Javonte Williams when he came back what we thought is maybe a little too early, and he looked like he lost a step and we all said, boy, he just doesn't quite have that explosion, doesn't have that breakaway speed.

That's what Alex Singleton reminded me of the other night.

Absolutely, and not too many guys come back from an ACL like that and look the same or better.

One guy comes to mind, Adrian Peterson.

When he came off his ACL.

It was like Wow.

But the unicorns like that.

That's a unicorn.

So we keep coming.

Back to that as the standard.

It's not the standard.

It's a unicorn.

Yes, that's true.

And he's thirty two years old, so right, it's already pushing it.

Yes, and he's thirty two coming off in ACL, didn't practice much.

Think about that.

Go back to preseason with the broken thumb.

Breaks his thumb again.

Now, yeah, that's not going to affect his mobility in that type of thing.

But he got a broken bone and I hope it comes around and it can.

We're only two games into the season.

We know what he can do when he's healthy.

He's a tackling machine.

Broncos tackling against the Colts needs to improve a lot.

That was not a good job tackling.

No, because when your guys in the secondary are leading your team in tackles.

I think four of their top five guys were all in the secondary.

That's telling you a lot.

Patrick Tan In particular, Patan led the team in tackles, so.

Typically they don't even throw his way.

That's right.

They were not afraid to throw at Patch or Tan.

Now, Patrick Tan, when you watch him in that game, I think he gave up seven catches.

I believe that's what they tagged him for.

Seven catches, seven catches, sixty three yards in a penalty.

But his coverage was tight on just about every Yeah, every route that he covered was tight.

But Daniel Jones impressed the heck out of me.

He was putting that ball on time and exactly where it had to be where even with tight coverage, those guys were catching the football.

Of course, side note, I'm glad he's not on the practice report Passer Tan.

Oh yeah, because of the ankle thing.

Yes, yeah, we got a little worried about that.

That was kind of weird too.

Yeah, it was in the tent for quite a long time.

Then they put him right back out on the field and he didn't look like it was bothering him.

I think he missed one snap like total, maybe for the game, like when they put up the numbers later.

I think he because he always plays one hundred percent of snaps, and I think when he came down to his one snap he missed and that was kind of it, which is remarkable just to say, like he had that where it looked like a bit of a scary ankle injury for a moment, but like we were watching for the practice sport today to see if he'd show up on it.

He didn't.

So that's that's fantastic news because we know what this defense looks like without passer Tan quite literally the last guy you can afford.

Oh yes, from the A two eight on the text line took Sutton a couple of years too.

Yeah it did.

Yeah, keep that in mind.

Very good point.

It just you don't see it too often where a guy bounces right back to the Levely was after an ACL and you pointed out Javonte Williams a great point.

Let's hope Singleton gets back.

I think Drake Greenlaw, once he gets out there, will make all of them look better, assuming he's healthy and ready to go.

I don't know what you do if if not, because Western had showing up on the injury report today.

He's played well, but he's a backup.

Where do you go from there, Lavell Bailey.

I guess Lavell Bailey Reed, and we.

Haven't seen we haven't seen Reed do anything.

No, there's been a lot of special teams.

Yeah, I don't think he's taking a snap at linebacker Rockets.

Yeah, so I would guess probably Lavelle Bailey would be guy's choice.

Wallow here, Wallas here.

I mean those are that's your option.

But the drop off is I mean the drop off from for your top two guys to your third with especially since Drew Sanders not available, was already steep, but then if you lose your third guy inster Nod and again, you don't want to go too far down this Wednesday, well, let's just we want I don't want to get too great, but it's just it's the one position, like we come out of this game.

And I was having a long conversation with Nick Ferguson yesterday about the defense and he thought the defense played great.

I thought that was great.

He used the word great, and I lit him up for basically two and a half hours on it great.

He said great.

Uh, based on what argument?

I'm interested because I really respect Nick.

I do too, and and I feel like he's.

Gotten into this.

I have to defend everything the defense does because too many people point out the flaws in them.

And I was like, no, we give them flowers when they play well.

We're all rooting for the defense to be the best in the league.

But if you're going to be held to the standard of being a top five defense, you can't get up a sixty eight yard run, a thirty wide open walk in touchdown for your running back, forty one yard pass play for the tight end.

I'm just going off the top of my head.

You I mean multiple big plays.

Their speed receiver Alec god I was basing his name right now, but he had a Yeah, Pierce had the forty four.

Yard reception down the right sideline, which was.

Also interfered with, but it didn't matter.

He made the catch.

Point it is, these are massive plays.

You didn't force a punch, you didn't force a turnover.

Now, Knick's argument was the two fourth down stops in midfield, those were big.

His argument also was the two for six in the red zone.

So his argument was like, well, all those things happened, and yet they only gave up two touchdowns, and you and I are optimists.

I want to be optimistic, but that feels like the if we're looking for that, that's that's on the far end of it.

Yeah, they seemed like they just were on a stake.

There was broken coverages, a lot of broken tackles.

The Colts broke a lot of tackles, and part of that, to me was like they just weren't in the right position.

They were always just like reaching out trying to make arm tackles.

Three or four ons on some of these runs, like three or four guys would get an arm out.

Nobody put a solid hit on a guy.

And that seemed like that was going on all day long.

The broken coverage.

The Broncos blitzed a lot in that game.

They just couldn't get home.

And so when you're gonna do that, when you're gonna blitz and you can't get any pressure on the quarterback, he's going to find an open receiver.

And he did that the whole game.

And I was super impressed with Daniel Jones, and I was impressed with this Colt football team.

I noticed they just popped up in a lot of power rankings now as maybe a top ten team.

Why not, They've had like five hundred total yards two games in a row on offense, and their defense is playing pretty good.

I think the Cults are better than people thought.

They have a couple of big time play It's on that team both sides of the ball.

And then Daniel Jones.

This is Daniel Jones two point zero.

This isn't the guy we saw with the Giants.

This guy is delivering the ball right on time and with no hesitation.

You're just getting rid of it quickly.

He can run.

He I think Daniel Jones maybe turned this entire Colts franchise around where they have a legit shot to be a playoff team this year after just two games.

I'm willing to say that there's.

No doubt about it.

You got the Houston Texans who are zero and two.

I think the Jacksonville Jaguars are also zero to two.

Tes He Titans roll.

I mean that.

Division, that's a horrible division.

It's a bad division, but that doesn't surprise anybody.

Like the division being what it is doesn't shock anybody.

It's just to.

Say that because it's so wide open and there seem to be a good team, not only can they win that division, but they could potentially make some noise I mean, that's that's what they look like.

And this was always an on paper conversation, like all everything is until the league starts.

It's an on paper converce station.

It was like, well, if he can sort of rediscover what made him a draftable player in the first round by the giant sixth overall pick, then And it also goes back to the whole point we talk about all the time about how much coaching matters, and it really really.

Does talent around a player.

If you can drop a good quarterback, maybe not a great quarterback, but let's just call him a good quarterback into a situation where you have a good offensive line, you have a great running game, you've established receivers, and then of course you added Tyler Warren who's only going to continue to make them better.

You also have a pretty good defense on the other side, and you have good coaching.

That's the formula.

And this is what I think the NFL misses on so many times when they draft these high rookie quarterbacks, is they drop him into bad situations.

Well, first of all, that's why you're drafting at the top of the draft anyways, right, But it's a bad situation.

Maybe not a great offensive line, and they think these guys are going to fix everything.

Oh, we drafted a first round quarterback.

This guy's got to fix everything.

He was a stud in college.

Well what are you giving him?

I think cam Ward is a chase to be really good, But he's got receivers dropping the ball left and right.

That offensive line has been struggling, and they're also banged up to and then the coaching I don't know.

I just don't know yet about Brian Callahan.

Their defense also, maybe their front seven is pretty good.

For the secondary's got some problems.

So you're asking cam Ward to suddenly lift up everything around him, and that just seems impossible.

Everything we just said about the Colts is another reason why I'm optimistic about the Chargers.

On Sunday, we just both agreed that the Colts are probably a playoff team, and I think the rest of the league is looking at them that way as well.

So you factor that in.

Broncos didn't play their best game by any stretch, and they should have won the game on the road in a hostile environment against what is going to be a playoff team.

So factor that in makes you feel a little bit better about a gut punch of a loss and you move on.

And the Chargers, to me, this feels like a letdown game for them.

It just feels that way and everything.

When you look at it through that prism, you'll start thinking, Okay, I think the Broncos are going to show up Sunday in a divisional game and they're gonna play their best game of the year.

So far, they haven't put it together yet.

They have not where you were, both sides of the ball really all three phases or three phases special teams have been a big problem.

But even if they just put it together on both sides of the ball Sunday, I think they beat the Chargers.

I think they have the better team, the better talent than the Chargers do, and.

They're not is injured either, right.

I think that does play a factor because with the Chargers coming into the season, they lost for Shawn Slater before this even started, and so we said that offensive line and the running game hasn't gone track.

Maybe there's a correlation, maybe there isn't.

But they're twenty fifth in the league right now.

They're averaging like eighty four yards rushing per game.

That is not a John Harbaugh team.

Sorry, Jim Harbor, Yeah, that is not a Jim Harbond team.

John Harbon tea, Yeah, I mean that's not what they're That's not the signature of that team.

So I'm inclined to agree.

But once again, he just you want to slow that down because they do look good, like you don't want to discredit how well Justin Herbert's playing, how well Keenan Allen is playing.

Lad McConkie hasn't.

Quentin Johnson has the three touchdowns already, he hasn't.

They haven't even thrown a touchdown to Lad McConkie yet he's their number one guy, So they haven't even really realized their full potential.

And so understanding that all these conversations are like, well they caught maybe they caught the chief snap in a little bit in Week one.

Chiefs also seem very impacted by the loss of Xavier Worthy at the very beginning of that game, like offensively, they were out of rhythm and they still haven't found their rhythm just yet.

And then the Raiders, i mean, Gino Smith was an abject disaster.

So what do we really know about the Chargers other than just playing those two teams, and those two teams really struggling.

I don't know.

Justin Herbert's been almost flawless.

He's been amazing in the first two games.

He's been amazing.

So all of that that we just talked about does make you feel a little bit better.

Broncos Country five six nine zero, Yeah, let us know.

Let us know, and then if it doesn't go as well as I think it's gonna go Sunday, you can at me when I come back on next week.

It sounds good.

I love that I'm going out on.

The limb here.

I totally understand that because a lot of people think the Chargers are one of the best teams in the NFL, and they may be, but I think we'll get the best effort from Denver this week.

All Right, we're gonna come back to the Broncos here at the top of the hour, but you want to hear some highlights, just for some fun, Let's let's take a tour around the NFL.

We'll start with your Detroit Lions getting a big one over the Bears.

Fourth and goal for the Lions from the four golf takes, the snap fakes, the rolls right, gott a man wide, open.

I'm in Ross Saint Brown one two, three times today touch down Detroit Lions, Dan Miller, almost Brown and Troy Lyons Radio Network on the call.

Yeah, three touchdowns for I'm on Ross Saint Brown.

Yeah.

There's all sorts of discussion about are the Lions good?

I mean well without their coordinators Ben Johnson, without their DC?

Are the same team?

Struggled against the Packers a week one?

And oh my gosh, what did emphatic win over the Bears in week two?

I knew they bounced back in that game.

Did you know you're no?

Because of Dan Campbell Okay and what he's built there, I knew they would bounce back.

And did you notice the color analyst talking all over that that touchdown play?

No, I want to do it, but that's a big no.

No, you can't do it.

You just don't do that.

As the color analyst.

I know Dave Logan would not appreciate that, but that's why that stood out to me, that call right there.

Yeah, you get so excited sometimes you maybe can't help it.

But I'm guessing Lomas Brown probably does it a lot.

But you know who doesn't who?

My god?

Yeah, Dallas, I know what Dave wantson doesn't want and he doesn't want his touchdown calls messed up with me talking all over it.

Now, you do a wonderful job, you know I you don't give back, man, I appreciate it.

The Dallas Cowboys surviving overtime.

The inside hand off, Jamonte Williams and.

Haye break Frank and Williams hands on a head of state and Williams pretty answer and Ponte Williams running hard took it home thirty yards.

But Japonte william brad Sham one of five to three of the fans Dallas Cowboys Radio Network on the call and going tip to overtime.

What a weird game.

I gotta be honest of the ones that were happening in the earlier slate, I wouldn't say I had a ton of interest in this one overall.

And it's not even an anti Russell Wilson thing.

It's just Giants and Cowboys, two winless teams.

And it was a great game though, Oh my gosh, it was an amazing game.

And Russell Wilson four hundred and fifty passing yards, three touchdowns.

We did throw a key interception at the end that led to the Cowboys winning that game.

But what a game and Dravante eighteen carries for a night seven yards in a touchdown.

He looks great.

Yeah, Russ was cooking.

And did Davonte ever have a thirty yard touchdown run for the Broncos in his career?

Oh?

Boy, that's how life knows that.

But I don't remember.

If I don't remember him having a long touchdown run, I don't know.

I don't think so.

Certainly not the last couple of years.

Maybe's rookie, maybe your rookie year.

Yeah, to go back and look.

That would be the case.

The Eagles they beat up on the Chiefs.

There's still plenty of time blift.

Yeah, but this cook the game right here?

Big us play hurts other.

Center, they push, they shove, and he's dow May the Courts Radio ninety four IP and again you know for a play by standpoint, you gotta wait, right, you gotta wait until the arms go up and on a tourch Bush especially, boy, that Chiefs.

Chiefs are so upset about that.

Oh, they were losing their minds.

I don't know.

If you caught after the game, you had a who is there their defensive tackle going off Jalen Hurts yelling at him.

Chris Jones, Yeah, right.

They caught a Michael with him, you know, yelling at Jalen Hurts about his stat line.

And Jalen Hurts say, we won the game, you shut up.

The twitch brush is an unstoppable play.

Yeah, I'm a little surprised all the smart guys in the NFL couldn't come up with anything to stop the touch prushure.

Pretty amazing to men't everybody do it?

That's a good you know, because the thing is is after Kelsey left right their center, you sort of thought, well, maybe that's the end of it.

And it said this sort of like culture, this is this is who they are.

They've they've built this thing in I don't know if you caught Adam Schefter.

I think it was on Monday, he said when he was asked about the Chiefs losing.

He said, the Chiefs lost this game when they when the NFL decided not to ban the Toush push, and it's like, hmm, maybe maybe.

I don't know.

I I don't want to see it banned because for me, it's still a football play.

We don't know, if we've talked about it, a ton.

What about you.

I don't say you need to fan it.

You might want to take a look at a couple of aspects of it and maybe say, hey, you can do it, but you can't do that, or you can't do that.

But it's so deflating for a defense that you cannot stop that play from one yard off the goal line.

You can't.

It's impossible.

It's impossible.

They're gonna get it every time.

The Bronco's next opponent the Cincinnati Bengals, where they lose their quarterback Joe Burrow in the second quarter, but they do get the win.

Drowning will be under center, how sample goes behind the quarterback and shuts up, hits a touchdown fishake clowning with eighteen seconds look in regulation.

It's at Horton Dave Lapham.

That's ESPN fifteen thirty in the Bengals radio networked out.

Dave has been doing that for years.

Yea, Lapham's been doing that for years.

It's his thing inesting and that's yeah.

If I don't even know what it would be like to listen to a Cincinnati Bingles highlight without Dave going uh in the background.

I'm not criticizing it.

I'm just I just pointed it out that it's just something we just don't do.

You just don't do.

Is there no reason it's an unwritten rule in our books?

Last one here the Broncos next topponent of the Chargers.

They just beat up on the Raiders.

Herbert and the gun gets the shotgun step back, pep sets the throw, wants to go deep open, Clinton Chun said, with the.

Catch at the pad.

High stepping in put the touchdown sixty yards strike.

That was west Wood one Kevin Cooler.

That game was basically over in the third quarter.

Chargers didn't score another points after the third.

In fact, actually that touchdown came in the second quarter, now that I think about it.

That was they were up seventeen to six at halftime and that game was basically over at that point.

Yep.

Would they get three picks off of Gino Samanth three picks?

That's concerned about the Raiders this year.

At the beginning of the year, I thought maybe they might have something here, but I'm starting to think maybe the Chargers are the ones you need to focus on.

And if you get a win this week, you're now two to one and theoretically at the top of the AFC.

West, that's exactly what's gonna happen.

So I want to talk some more about that.

On the other side, we'll also hear from bow Nicks and speaking of the Raiders, I gotta get your thoughts on this Tom Brady thing, him in the coaches booth with the headset on also calling games talking again, right, it is bizarre, so I want to get your thoughts.

We'll get into all that coming up next.

But right now, caller number five three or three seven one three eighty five eighty five.

Caller five three or three seven one three eighty five eighty five is gonna win a pair of tickets to Chris Brown at Corsefield Wednesday, September twenty fourth.

Calor five three or three seven one three eighty five eighty five will win those tickets to Chris Brown at Corsefield Wednesday, September twenty fourth.

We'll be right back on Kowa
