Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

Ferguson Dave's not here, we usually play the drop, but he will be back with us on Monday.

Speaker 2

Dave's not here, it is he'll be.

Speaker 1

On the call of course Sunday for the Broncos and Chargers.

Very excited to here for Actually we will hear for him on the show coming back to five thirty with our Coach's Corner.

Got a voice to the Broncos Dave Logan along with Coach Peyton, and we do that at five thirty, So that's coming up here just a little bit, so we will hear from Dave and just a little bit.

So we texted and I really miss Dave.

We miss him too.

I'm excited to hav him back.

He's enjoying some vacation, which is pretty typical at this time of year for a lot of people, especially with his schedule over the course of the fall, when it's calling games and coaching games and hosting a show and all the.

Speaker 2

Thousand other things that he usually is involved in.

Speaker 1

So we're grateful when we get him in this time of year.

And like I said, he'll be back on Monday.

A couple of texts here.

Why is it called style points?

That is bull it is playing dominant, efficient, productive football consistently.

One thing we have had trouble with very inc assist it.

Every week I hear the coach say, we got to clean this up.

That up, better, get it cleaned up.

Now you look like you're taking some kind of victory lap on that.

Speaker 3

I choose not to take a victory lap.

I would just say this, I like that texture.

That texture actually gets it.

And the fact that they're choosing to take what I said from style points and just reve it up a little more and say, well, dominating.

Speaker 4

Performance, Yes, that's what you want to do.

The idea.

Speaker 3

And here's a metaphor.

I know you love my metaphors.

And I told young lad is a strong word.

Well, yeah, you know you tolerate.

There go, yeah, you tolerate, So sit back and tolerate this one.

So I said, well, in the Olympics, when there's a high jump, right, when someone clears six', one they don't move the bar, down, Right they moved the bar.

Up so what that text is saying is the same thing THAT i was.

Saying And i've been telling you it's the same thing that you said.

It you said it, yourself, right just a different.

Vessel but, yes it does matter because you want to know that you can go out and move the ball where you need to move, it how you need to move, it the way you want to move, it and if you want to slow it down and Poor li, back you have the ability to snow you.

Speaker 2

Down, well.

Speaker 4

What can you say about?

Speaker 1

That it's not LIKE i don't understand where you and this texture are coming.

From and then there's a couple others that came.

Up what you, do, well WHAT i do understand is that in THE, nfl the really matters is the.

Win and you, know, however by hook or crook you get, there that's What that's what.

Speaker 2

Counts that counts for.

Speaker 1

Me it's weird for me when you, know as a former nfler being in the studio, here that you're so hung up on the style points when if you are playing the game right now AND i had you, In, hey you're you're playing for The.

Broncos you guys are on the precipice of going to the.

Postseason they, say, hey that was a great.

Run you guys went on there eleven straight.

Wins you've won thirteen games this.

Year but people are concerned because you're not winning by, enough then what would your response be to?

Speaker 3

Me my response would, Be, yeah we're winning the games and that's what we take in our locker room is being really.

Important but at the same, TIME i would, SAY i would agree that we need to really show that we can press the button and we can.

Dominate Cir, well don't don't ask me right wait wait.

Speaker 5

Wait wait, wait don't ask me a question that you don't want me to, answer Because i'm not answering the way that you thought you would say that you thought you were gonna put me in the.

Speaker 4

Box you can't put baby in the.

Corner, now don't do.

That So i'm Just i'm.

Speaker 3

Telling you my response would, be and this is based on Coaches i've been, Around Bill, Parceales Mike, Shenahan Georgia.

Speaker 4

Olivia Georgia.

Tech the standard is a.

Standard, baby we don't we, don't we don't change.

That, yes dub is the most important.

Speaker 3

Thing but at the same, time you, say as a player and as a, coach and then what could we have done?

Speaker 4

Better like the text have just told.

Speaker 3

You it has been said from The broncos facility there are certain.

Speaker 4

Things that they need to do and they know they need to get better At.

Speaker 2

That's what you always, say though even after a.

Speaker 1

Win we Heard Vance joseph say it this, week, says whether we win by, thirty we win by, one we lose the processes the.

Process we are doing the same thing On, mondays we're doing the same thing On tuesdays And wednesdays we are we are going over the film and we're looking for ways to get.

Speaker 2

Better that doesn't matter where you win By and we're not talking about the.

Speaker 3

Process the process is always going to stay the same no matter.

Speaker 1

What so the small points are for famus.

Speaker 4

Discussing you, see we're not talking about the.

Speaker 2

Process players never discussed point the.

Speaker 4

Process but it all depends on who you.

Speaker 3

Are i'm gonna tell you that one of the reason major reasons that that that is my point of.

Emphasis back in two thousand and, five two thousand and, six we lost To pittsburgh at home with the right to go to Play seattle In detroit in The Super.

Bowl we did not play our best.

Game right, now we played our best game against The New England, patriots right but still there were still issues that we were suffered from offensively.

Speaker 4

That proved to be.

Speaker 3

Problematic will be fast forward the week before when we played the number six seed in The Pittsburgh, steelers some of those same issues from the prior week started to show, up and.

Speaker 4

We cannot overcome.

Speaker 3

Him so Because i've been there And i've seen, it And i've been on the downside Of, Ryan i've been on the downside of, It that's Why i'm, saying you, know, yeah you want to get to, win but at some, point you want to show that you can build enough confidence in the entire group that we are capable of doing these types of.

Speaker 1

Things The patriots have been winning with a lot of style.

Points why does everybody want to play them in the?

Speaker 3

Postseason because their, defense, right their defense is somewhat of the.

Issue like if The patriots had And Will, anderson we wouldn't even Have there's no, conversation, right they would be able to perceive front runner right because they get an excellent quarterback play their quarterback in the second year he's getting he's in AN mvp conversation which is, bananas.

Speaker 4

And they run the ball.

Speaker 3

Right that's a recipe that The Pittsburgh steelers have made part of THEIR dna for so many.

Years so that's why people want to play The patriots because they're, like, well their pass russ can't really get to the, quarterbacks so you're don't have all the time all day to throw the.

Speaker 4

Ball that's.

Speaker 1

Why, okay so it's not because again they have a lot of style.

Points there's a lot to like about the way they're dominating teams and Playing let's see how not playing down to opponents or dominating.

Speaker 3

Is not the word to use because there hasn't really been a team in THE nfl this season that can say they dominated every single.

Speaker 4

Game of course.

Can't, no the idea is it's.

Efficiency how efficient can you?

Be because domination isn't a whole different.

Speaker 3

Strattusphere now The patriots have shown as though they can be really.

Efficient they show that Against Buffalo, bills where they were pushed to the brink And buffalo still beat.

Them but once once, again it goes back to being able to play solid games and knowing as though if you are in the match where you have to score forty points to win a.

Speaker 2

Ball, game you do.

It the team, can all, right do you believe the team?

Speaker 4

Can i'm not.

Sure i'm not.

Speaker 2

Sure, no.

Speaker 4

It's not, no it's not just BECAUSE i said do.

Speaker 3

You did you really want to go, There.

Speaker 4

Not to take anything.

Speaker 3

Away from, them since you want to have this, conversation but The broncos play The dallas Count.

Boys their, defense they were out without three of their starters and they were by far the worst defense in every statistical.

Category the best game that The broncos has played had played this season was against The Green Bay.

Packers, right they were great inside the red.

Zone the defense was even pressed because guess, What Jordan.

Speaker 4

Love and The packers moved the.

Speaker 3

Ball that's, right, Right so that was the best offensive output that we, saw and we could say when it was somewhat similars of a complete.

Game SO i don't think me saying, That, okay, well The broncos need to fine tune certain, things either on, defensive offense or even special.

Speaker 4

Teams that's not.

Speaker 3

Negative and for someone to perceive that to, me you know, what that's negative because it's like you can't point out anything to correct what did you watch this?

Speaker 1

Team did you just use THE i rubber in your glue?

Argument, WELL i didn't.

Speaker 5

Really say, that, RIGHT i didn't really put it in that context.

Speaker 2

Negative because of your positivity about the.

Team that's what that's what.

Speaker 5

Negative, Listen i've wanted the best for this, team and the one THING i.

Speaker 4

Can't, SAY.

Speaker 2

I can't believe.

That, well do you think that?

Speaker 4

Works did you think Even.

Speaker 2

Ben olbright would have called you on.

Speaker 3

THAT i mean maybe he, would BUT i didn't phrase it the way that you.

Speaker 4

Did All i'm saying is THAT i believe.

Speaker 3

In this, team AND i believe in this team from the very, beginning but as a person that played in coaches, GAME i just can't turn a blind eye to certain things THAT i feel as though are.

Correctible because idea is turning a team into a.

Jargonaut and all the way to do that what the.

Juggernaut, okay yes that's not what you.

Said by, This either, way you know WHAT i, meant, juggernaut jargonaut.

Whatever the whole idea is to get them to where they want to, be which is In Levi, stadium not just be a part of the, race but cross the finish.

Line in order to do, that there are some glaring things that need to be cleaned.

Speaker 1

Or to do, that there's some style points that you'd like to see in these.

Wins it's not just about the.

WINS i understand, that, however you want to phrase.

It whatever helps you?

Sleep, really what you just, said whatever you said it.

To, No i'm saying you said it.

Too i'm translating for the.

Audience you don't need to.

Speaker 4

Translate you said it.

Speaker 1

Too because you said a lot of words, there AND i wanted to narrow it all down talk for like six.

MINUTES i just wanted to narrow it down to what Is nick trying to say.

Here nick's trying to, say you know What i'm saying to look a certain.

Way you know What i'm.

Saying the wind would be, cool but it's got to look a certain.

Speaker 3

Way you know What i'm.

Saying AND i put it to you in.

Context nobody goes what you're.

Speaker 2

Saying it's just a.

Speaker 3

Versatility man doesn't doesn't really or what else would it speak up?

Speaker 2

THAT i really need to find some better.

REFERENCES i don't.

Speaker 4

Know, No, okay let's be totally honest.

Speaker 3

Now And i'm sure our loyal listeners would appreciate, this especially ones and on our you, know age group of the eighties and the nineties were, awesome, man.

Speaker 2

Pretty, Cool, yes, yeah, underrated very highly.

Speaker 3

Underrated soone so just think of there was this phenomenal show On netflix stranger things that what did they?

Speaker 2

Do the celebrated the?

Eighties enough, said And, brice who you?

Speaker 4

Are Ryan?

Speaker 2

Edwards the hair was really bad, though that was.

Speaker 4

That was eighties, hair big, bands you, know hair.

Makeup you.

Speaker 1

Know we got a lot of really good.

TEXTS i want to read a couple of.

These coming up here at the bottom of the.

Hour we're gonna hear From Joe, Lombardi Vance joseph once again after five thirty Our Coaches corner.

Segment we always look forward to the hair and from a Coach peyton along with voice The Broncos Dave.

Logan All, right some people did like, here don't put the baby in the corner.

Reference there has anyone ever Seen Ryan clark And Nick ferguson in the same room?

Speaker 4

Before not?

Speaker 2

Funny not, funny pretty.

FUNNY i think it's pretty.

Funny but of.

Speaker 6

Course you think it's funny because an Me nigga's been, Saying nick is saying exactly What i've been telling you for.

Speaker 2

Weeks he said a lot of THINGS i don't know which was Fay.

Speaker 4

Ryan thanks for that, Text.

Speaker 3

Texter ryan tries to uh kind of push What i'm saying aside, like like he doesn't, know like he.

Speaker 4

Needs A Nick ferguson translator or some sort it would be.

Speaker 2

Helpful why don't you just marry that?

Text?

Speaker 4

Nick that was pretty?

Munny why DID i?

Speaker 1

Marry, yeah the one that texted it about the style Points and you're, like that's exactly What i've been trying to.

Say i'm you're already, married though of course it actually might have been from your.

Wife she's, like, listen you know, What i'm tired of the style points.

Thing i'm gonna text it and tell you exactly WHAT i think about.

Speaker 4

IT i.

Speaker 7

Know.

Speaker 1

Gosh this conversation reminds me of a Certain Soda pop commercial where they show up at the coach's house complaining that they only scored twenty five points and the coach said that we won the, game and that yelled and they yelled, out bringing up the hot.

Seat, yeah, well that's that's kind of what it.

Is so, listen there's, like there's there's shades of us both kind of being right about this whole.

Speaker 4

Thing in my.

Speaker 1

Opinion, okay you don'tus agree with, this because you probably, won't but there's shames of us both being right about.

It because on one, hand you want to continue to improve and playing down to opponent or not playing up to your full potential in moments where you feel like you could do, better.

Speaker 2

Then, yeah there's something to be said about.

Speaker 1

That, also at the same, time stacking wins is really what it's all.

About and you, know and The chiefs game that you were so negative about in the, end why did you just say the Chief?

Speaker 3

Games you didn't have to add that extra part that was not needed that for the, record please.

Speaker 2

Do what it's designed.

Speaker 1

For what's most important about that game is to get you one more win closer to your.

Goal and that's WHERE i think most teams and most players come down.

On which is WHY i, Agree which is, why which is WHY i asked you the question, Earlier like what would you say if you were a current player AND i sat you down here and, said, hey you know you're you're not dominating, teams but you are finding ways to.

Speaker 2

Win you'd be, like, well they get paid played.

To that's WHAT i expected you to.

Speaker 1

Say like like when you call up The Dallas, cowboys for, example you would have at this time if you were a current, player, like you, Know Dallas, cowboys they're gonna be, Struggling but those are paid professionals on that side of the.

Speaker 3

Ball well you, see SEE i don't talk in, cliches and that's the typical cliche, saying, well they get they get paid To, no it's, not of, course you, know they get.

Paid they're not doing it for.

Free but they look with the ideas that when you face inferior, Teams, right what are you supposed to do when you face an inferior?

Team what Did Nick Saban Alabama Crimson tide would do to an inferior?

Opponent he beat, them and how he would beat.

Them but but come, on, now let's be.

Realistic you can say.

It he would demolish.

Them his whole idea is that we're going to break their.

Speaker 2

Will, well it's a little bit different game in college.

Football it's, not you, know it's.

Not it's extremely.

Different it's college.

Speaker 4

Football it's a pros, apparently BUT sec is still like THE.

Speaker 2

Nfl is it not wider?

Speaker 4

Hashes?

Whatever?

Speaker 1

Whatever, right hey, Guy, zach that would do so it's it's different because style points in college football do, matter because it's a subjective system that they are judged.

Speaker 2

By it's very.

Speaker 3

Different, well fans judge teams IN nfl fans.

Speaker 2

Are that's no different.

Speaker 1

Things the seating in college football has very little to do sometimes with just wins and.

Speaker 2

Losses it's the way you.

Speaker 1

Win so bringing up college football And Nick saban does very little to nothing for, Me, WELL i know it.

Speaker 4

Does nothing for.

Speaker 3

You but what it is is it's actual truth to, it because when you face an, opponent that's what you want to.

Speaker 4

Do do you you want to destroy?

Speaker 8

Them do you believe the worst coming out of your?

MOUTH i believe everything That i'm.

SAYING i don't believe they're getting through your ears.

Properly the translators are not working for.

You BUT i know you just don't want to admit.

It it's, okay it's.

Fine facts and facts, though facts are, facts all?

Speaker 1

Right when we come, Back Joe lombardi on THE uh preparing for The chargers knowing that they may not have all of their defensive players out.

There we'll get to that.

Next, Yeah Eddie murphy had a hit, too and.

Speaker 4

Just like those are two totally different.

Speaker 2

Things, Okay, WELL i appreciate the.

Confession and have you not seen the movie?

Speaker 9

Right, No, no as A pillar Of, Beacon and, honestly that pillar beacon of honesty and.

Speaker 2

TRUTH i have to, say, NO i have not seen the.

MOVIE i appreciate that we need we need more of that honesty and.

Speaker 3

Truth, well, yes it would be great to get more honesty and truth from One Ryan.

Edwards but you know, What hell hasn't frozen over, yet So i'm not going to hold my.

Speaker 4

Breath on that.

Speaker 1

One we're gonna pick some games coming up here a little.

Bit i'm just ignoring everything you just said, There thank, You.

Zach we'll bring you back on.

HERE i think we dumped.

That actually nobody heard.

That this Is this one was, perfect very, quick very, quick and we will move off this.

Speaker 2

TOPICS i want to hear From Joe.

Lombardy so this.

Speaker 1

One is By nick's, Logic denver should not be the number one seed no matter, what because the way they have won their games and it wasn't dominant, enough so therefore should Be New.

Speaker 4

England, see you could tell your cousin that he or she is not really, listening.

Speaker 3

And they are well they them, others we, them well how you want to phrase, It but that's not What i'm.

Speaker 4

Saying All i'm.

Speaker 3

Saying is that If i'm gonna have a, burger, RIGHT i JUST i may want Some swiss cheese on.

It you need some salita.

Speaker 4

Onions, spice spice it up just a little, Bit that's All i'm.

Saying do you have?

Speaker 1

Spice do you have like a deal with yourself that your analogies just get worse at the show wears?

On hey, man it's just like you start out like earlier in the show and you're Quoting Doctor seuss and you're going to THESE i mean that that was Entertaining swiss.

Cheese how does that reference The broncos style poids?

Speaker 3

Conversation because when you, can you can go out and get a regular, burger or you can get a more enhanced.

Speaker 2

Burger so you'd rather Have drake may.

Over that's not WHAT i.

Speaker 3

Said see you see those are the words that are coming out of your.

Speaker 2

Mouth right you, Say Mike rabel's a better coach Than Sean.

Speaker 4

Payton i'm.

Speaker 2

Trying i'm just trying to read the.

Speaker 3

Code, well, apparently Man Da vinci co you have not broken it yet because it's it's it's all over the, place right.

Speaker 1

Listen, Man Dan brown would struggle with what you're doing right.

Now i'm just letting you know hand wrote the.

Book some people.

STRUGGLE i can't help.

Speaker 2

That, okay you know who's not.

Speaker 1

Struggling Joe, lombardi the offense actually think has been playing.

Speaker 2

Better And Joe lombardi was asked a multitude.

Speaker 1

QUESTION i wanted to get through two of these This this first one was preparing for The, chargers not knowing who will necessarily be playing out.

Speaker 10

There every team evolves a little bit during the, season but same, structure and you, know obviously it's not knowing exactly who they're going to be.

Playing you, know Is Khalil mack going to be out?

There obviously we're planning on, it but you have to have a special plan for.

Speaker 7

Him the same way With Derwin.

Speaker 10

James SO i think, schematically you, know they've done a good job there AND i don't think they're veering off what's been working for him a whole.

Lot so you, know we'll just have to see who's playing and be ready for their.

Speaker 4

Best.

Speaker 1

Okay so you as a former, Player i'm just curious when it comes to teams and not necessarily knowing who's all going to be out.

Speaker 2

There what are you focusing on before the, game what are you?

Speaker 3

Studying, well you just study what the team does, well, right what kind of routes they run based on personnel groupings and down a distant the change of, personnel it would definitely change the way and how they.

Execute but you just, figure, okay, well what's some of the best run plays out of a certain personnel inside the red?

Speaker 4

Zone what do they like to?

Run backed?

Up what do they like to?

Speaker 3

Run so even though you can't prepare for players, specifically you just prepare for the system.

Speaker 4

Itself so the scheme is the team.

Itself, yeah, okay, yes so an.

Speaker 2

Understanding because Like Omarion hampson's.

Speaker 1

Already ruled out, here and the practice report for The chargers is quite lengthy here AS i, believe they have, one, two, three, four five five guys, questionable two ruled out and that's not even Including Justin, herbert who we know is not going to.

Play and then you have two doubtfuls In Elijah molden And Jamari.

Speaker 4

Salier So bdell is on that, listen, right, right all is.

Speaker 1

Questionable he got in a full practice yesterday and, today so we'll.

Speaker 2

See but he's another.

Speaker 1

One of those players that falls under the bumps and bruises category and that's what makes it so difficult to prepare.

For and so which based on that really, quickly which side of the ball has a bigger disadvantage of not?

Speaker 3

KNOWING i would say, DEFENSE i think so, too, right BECAUSE i, mean what you thought you were going to, face you're not going to FACE i either, Way, Ryan, well look at this is that this should be a.

Speaker 4

Route that's what this game should.

Be this should be what you call it a.

Route get right game pad.

Speaker 3

Stats hit your incentives because we Know Adam truman and these were like five six.

Speaker 4

Receptions right to hit that bonus that he.

Speaker 3

HAS i think it's one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars something like.

Speaker 4

That hit the.

Speaker 3

Bonus this is what this game is because you already know coming in it was announced earlier that they were not gonna Play herbert and some of their.

Starters, okay so what we're just gonna beat you into a bloody pole.

Speaker 4

Period i'm here for.

It i'm here for it.

Speaker 1

TOO i would like to not have it woulf you want you know where this season to have a fourth.

Quarter we're not stressing very much as a fan.

Speaker 4

BASE i don't like those at.

Speaker 1

All i'll Take i'll take this version of it versus the no hope version of the season because we've lived through that.

Speaker 2

Too we've lived through no.

Speaker 1

Hope it's it's a it's not interesting in the fourth quarter because The broncos are so.

Bad this one.

Is The broncos are.

Interesting The broncos are a good.

Team they're not a great.

Speaker 4

Team that's.

Speaker 1

Okay you can still win a lot of games as a good, team and you might even be able to go on a postseason run as a good team right a non dominant.

Team but the point of it, Is i'll take the heart attack of the fourth quarter over THE i don't even know if They're they're gonna need this other team to stub their toe at least ten times before The broncos can get back into.

Speaker 4

IT i get your.

POINT i feel a little different about.

THAT i know you.

DO i feel.

DIFFERENT i can see.

Speaker 2

It on your.

Face yes it's okay.

Speaker 3

Though YES i wear it like a scarlet.

Letter i'm proud of.

Speaker 2

It you'd rather be you'd rather the team be.

Either it's not WHAT i.

Speaker 4

Said it's.

Speaker 3

Terrible that is not What that's not WHAT i.

Said but, hey you know what you're gonna do what you're gonna do.

Speaker 1

Anyway Along, Okay Joe lobardi On boonick's progression from this time last.

Year this is a great, answer and it was a good question, too because it was framed in a way Of Sean payton doesn't want to give the weekly report card On, bonis which he has not, done even though the media tried to ask pretty, consistently like, hey how's he trend, in how's he?

Speaker 2

Doing and he's like, That i'm not going to give you.

Speaker 1

That but from last year to this, year how has Bon nix?

Improved here's What Joe lobarti said for.

Speaker 10

A, QUARTERBACK i think comfort level is always the thing that you want to see.

Speaker 7

Him.

Speaker 10

Uh you, knows he gets more experienced a young, quarterback just feeling more, confident calmer as he's breaking.

Speaker 7

The huddle thinking.

Less SO i think that's come a long.

Speaker 10

WAY i think he's, uh you, know his patience in the pocket has, improved keeping in his, base you, know not running early when he doesn't have.

Speaker 7

TO i think that's been a big.

Improvement and you, know.

Speaker 10

The the Last vegas game and The chiefs game where they were really you, know keeping a lid on it and forcing.

You you, KNOW i think we had four drives in The chiefs game that were thirteen, plays.

Speaker 7

Or even maybe three that were over.

Speaker 10

Fifteen and that's hard to do and you have to be really precise as a quarterback to do, that and you, know we'd like to be more.

Explosive but the fact that we're able to do THAT i think has, been you, know a credit to him in his.

Speaker 2

Progression, ah there's a lot of really good stuff.

Speaker 1

There i'm going to start first with SOMETHING i think we all actually want to see more.

Of he says he's keeping his, base he's not running early when he doesn't have.

To he's being patient in the, pocket and that has.

IMPROVED i think we're all excited about his patients in the.

Pocket i'd, say get your take on.

It i'd say that he has vastly improved from a year ago on his mechanics in the pocket and his.

Speaker 2

Footwork all of that is, very very.

Speaker 1

Good but there are times where we seem like we want him to run, more but he's.

Speaker 2

Not he's choosing not.

Speaker 1

To so it's an interesting sort of way that he dissected.

That he's, like, Well i'm really happy with how he's being and he's not running as much as he used to at least last.

Speaker 3

Year, YEAH i, mean that's one way to kind of look at, It, Ryan but there's growth in Bo nicks and listening to Coach lombardi talk about for, me the more important part is, patience, right being able to.

Speaker 4

Process a lot.

Speaker 3

More and then in The i'm, light he referenced The raiders game because The, Raiders Patrick, graham they did a great job making sure that The Broncos we're not going to beat him deep and quarterbacks who are you.

Speaker 4

Know they're.

Speaker 3

Pressed everyone wants to look at their stats at the end of the.

Game they want to throw the.

Ball so when when the team is taken that away from.

You sometimes when we see young quarterbacks do they press and they make.

Mistakes so he, decided you know, what they're not going to allow me to get any.

Speaker 4

Explosives i'm just gonna dink him.

Done but still at the same, time there are people who.

Speaker 3

Have Criticized bo and other, quarterbacks well that's.

Speaker 4

Too many damn.

Checkdowns i'm, like, uh did it equal a first?

Speaker 3

Down so if it, did set the hell, Up, right, said hello, up because that's what you want because that's WHY i know Young Zach seger said that, game he mentioned dominance in that.

Game when The broncos played The ragers second, GAME i, said, no what happened was it was.

Efficiency we saw The broncos controlled the time of possession because they moved the ball down the field very.

Speaker 4

Methodically AND i know, everyone just like.

Speaker 3

Baseball they want home, runs so they're looking for an explosive like you can win games and not have that many explosives like forty.

Yards but in that, game The broncos had a couple of, explosives which.

Speaker 6

Is any run or any pass over ten yards and.

More one more thing from this before we picked some.

Games he pointed out some of the longer drives you mentioned The raiders.

Game The chiefs game is another example where they just weren't giving up.

Speaker 1

The deep opportunities and you had to take what was, underneath and you had multiple.

Drives obviously The chiefs game they had four drives of fourteen players or.

More they had at LEAST i think two or three versus The.

Raiders and he, POINTED i, said that's hard to, do and you have to be really precise as a.

Quarterback he, said of, course we'd like to be more, explosive but the fact that we're able to do THAT i think has been a credit to his.

Progression people have been so interesting when it comes To bonix and sort of the checkdowns or some of the short route concepts of the, offense because they think that's what he wants to, do right because of what he did in, College, like, oh this Is bonix is only doing this because that's more comfortable for him than pushing the ball down the, field which DON'T i don't know if that's completely.

True there have been times we've seen him be very aggressive downfield versus The, packers versus The.

Jaguars there have been plenty of games this year where he has absolutely been.

Aggressive The colts was another.

Game they were pushing the ball down the.

Field but if teams are only gonna give you what's, UNDERNEATH i do think there's a credit to that of being patient and not losing losing that like losing your, nerve because there's so many TIMES i would think, that you, know if you're nickeling and diming all the way down the, field people would be, like, yeah, well eventually that you're gonna face the third and long And you're not gonna bible to convert.

Speaker 2

That but then he Do they keep doing.

Speaker 1

That SO i agree with coach here where he's Framing bonix's ability to stay patient under those circumstances.

Speaker 2

And not lose his cool as a good.

Speaker 3

Thing, well this is where the the positives about this team, offensively Both nicks are not really talked about as frequently as they should, because like you, said it is AND i can tell you it is very difficult to move the ball down the field ninety yards on timing and on.

Rhythm there's going to be some third and long situations and can you progress through those third and long?

Situations and that's pretty Much ryan with this game is For Bo nicks or any.

Quarterback season quarterback is can you make those?

Plays but it starts with The broncos winning on first and second, down staying.

Speaker 4

Out of the third and long.

Speaker 3

SITUATIONS a lot of coaches don't have a lot of plays on their play sheet for third and, twelve third and.

Eighteen, no to, me that's kind of a punning situation and you're just trying.

Speaker 4

To survive the.

Down but we're Seeing bo progressively get.

Speaker 3

Better BUT i will say his ability to manipulate the, pocket avoid the pressure because on the nineteen, SACKS i believe this offensive line is given up to.

Me that kudos that should go and that pray should go to the quarterback because he avoids a lot of.

Speaker 1

Sacks well said on the top of the, HOUR i want to go to the defensive side of the.

Ball Vance joseph defining the cage.

Rush you AND i were disagreeing or debating.

Speaker 7

That On.

Speaker 2

Monday we'll hear FROM vj on that very.

Topic right, now we want to pick some.

Cannons man fire the cannons is.

GREAT i think The panthers are going to.

Win over the last two months or so or a month and a, half The bucks look like one.

Of the worst teams in THE.

NFL i think.

Speaker 9

We're gonna get another lackluster effort from, them and The panthers squeak it.

Speaker 2

Out, wow.

Incredible what about?

You MAYBE i don't agree with.

Speaker 4

That nika and the boys get it.

Done the last time The.

Speaker 3

Sue teams, met The panthers beat them by three, points and Like ciccu said, that we've seen This tabos team not performing, well but they know this is the last opportunity to get it.

Speaker 4

Done all the money's on the.

Table The bucks get it.

Speaker 1

Done vibes are better for The panthers With zach on, that but you feel like the home and field advantage will.

Help So i'll Lean buccaneers, here BUT i don't feel good about.

It tomorrow, night forty nine, ers your forty nine ers taking on The.

Speaker 12

Seahawks berty get a shot done since huge checking motion with the left takes the step back to pass party looking throws detail the field by Jennicks engle's right to the, fifteenth down to the tim turn to the five into the episode touchdown forty nine.

Speaker 2

Ers that's how West wood One Ryan raky on the.

Speaker 1

Call interestingly, enough WHEN i saw, This seattle's actually favored in this.

Speaker 2

Game they're favored by two and a.

Speaker 1

Half on the road At Levi.

STADIUM i like the forty nine ers, Here.

Speaker 4

NICK i like the forty nine ers as.

Well.

Speaker 3

Stunner Thus stunnard is the battle of The, Koubiaks Kind kubiak Versus Quint.

KUBIAK i wonder Who garrett's going to roof for Kach kubyaks and Rufol.

Speaker 9

Son you know This kelsey family had like the Split.

Jersey he's gonna have the split polo right down the.

Speaker 2

Middle, OH i got the forty nine ers in this.

Speaker 4

ONE i think what they've done this season is.

Speaker 9

AMAZING i remember when they lost to The buccaneers and Lost Fred werner in that, game and like week six or so when everyone wrote them.

Off here they are playing for the one.

Seed it's one of the most remarkable Stories i've ever.

SEEN i Hope Kyle shanahan Wins coach of.

Speaker 4

The Year Web cherry on top.

Year he really, should.

Speaker 3

As his father should be in Approach Football hall Of.

Fame BUT i.

Speaker 2

DIGRESS i digress as.

Speaker 1

Well we all, Three no, LISTEN I i liked the forty nineers are phenomenal story And i'll be rooting, like, hey, WHATEVER i want the forty nine ers to win this, game AND i.

Don't there's nothing about The seattle's a very complete.

Team they're a very good.

Team but imagine winning one sege with it just it's it's just some of your.

Speaker 2

Tops, yes.

Speaker 1

Amazing this one is a weird.

Game Minnesota Green.

Speaker 13

Bay the Motion addison to the slot, left snap, Handoff addison off the most at thirty five forty outside the number forty five to.

Fifty, oh the gospital tell the simeline fifteen to.

Speaker 11

Ten plus play the pilod ten times pushed him.

Speaker 1

In so that Is Jason bennetti With Westwood.

One vikings are favored by nine and a half versus The.

Packers down before you think the system is, broken, well The packers already announced they're going to be wresting players short And love's not gonna play in.

This So vikings have a chance to actually get a winning record, Here, zach they're eight and.

Speaker 2

EIGHT i can't believe it's with everything that's gone on for.

Them BUT jj McCarthy is playing in this.

GAME i don't.

Know vikings with a winning, record do we feel better about their?

Speaker 9

SEASON i think you might almost feel worse about it because they're getting here because the defense is playing like maybe the best defense In East football over the last month or.

So and it's not gonna be enough despite that, defense despite still having maybe the best receiver in, football because the quarterback's been that.

Lackluster, NONETHELESS i think they'll put some lipstick on the pig of their season and win this.

Speaker 2

GAME i feel the same, Way.

Speaker 3

Nick i'm going to lean towards The vikings on this one right just because when you look at The, packers, look they're not really playing a lot of their players as GIVE jj, McCarthy and that Vaulted vik's defense and.

Opportunity once, again we close out the, season we're looking at incentives and how can we pat our.

Speaker 1

Stats Houston texas is one to The broncos playing The.

Speaker 12

Colts here's the snap scrap back to the throw for the first top hastime look At golick deep got a man down the nose top By higgins at the thirty twenty five to twenty Fifteen tenny's.

Speaker 4

Gone all the way to the end zone.

Speaker 12

Touchdown texans shaded The higgins got.

Behy the defense had scrout dropped.

Speaker 2

It In Ryan Rayky westwood.

Speaker 1

Won texans are favored by ten in this game against The colts because they're playing who's the quarterback they're playing this week for The colts and so The Roley.

Speaker 2

Leonard, yeah that's, Right Philip.

Rivers that was.

Fun that was a fun.

Speaker 1

Little footnote story for the twenty twenty five.

Season texas probably win this, one Right, Nick oh, not.

Speaker 4

Probably they run away with this.

Speaker 1

One you have just win the, Division, yes they legitim now in Text hidens have to beat The.

Speaker 4

Jags well, yeah and just.

Speaker 3

Think about how The texans started the season and everyone was kind of kind of, hey pushing them to the, side and they made this resurgence at the right time and once the, game, man when you both are a defense like they have bagging, turnovers get out the.

Quarterback of, course this should be a dominating performance against The.

Speaker 1

Colts texas can can they cover the, Ten, ZACH i think they.

Speaker 9

WILL i think they are playing their best ball of the season right.

NOW i think this is a motivated team that's looking to make a statement going into the.

PLAYOFFS i Think Namiko ryans has that dominating mindset Like Nick.

Speaker 2

FERGUSON i think the row dominating.

Mindset.

Speaker 4

Dominating that's your, Thing.

Speaker 2

Prussia, yeah The Buffalo bills is an important game.

Speaker 4

Too they'red in goal from the.

Speaker 2

Fourteen here's the, snap four man.

Speaker 14

Rush allen steps, up, fires and he's Got knocks in the end zone for a.

Touchdown Josh allen with a laser To Dawson knocks for his second touchdown reception of the.

Speaker 1

Game Chris BROWN wgr sports forty five to fifty In Buffalo bills hosting The.

Speaker 2

Jets bills in a weird, way only.

Speaker 1

Favored by seven and a half, HERE i got it feels like they should be favored by.

More but maybe this is an indication that The bills are not playing up to their.

Speaker 2

Standards i'll start with you, Here.

Speaker 9

ZACH i think they are expected to be sitting some.

STARTERS i think they'll just beat The jets even without those.

Speaker 4

STARTERS i don't know if they'll.

Speaker 9

COVER i think that might be a lot to, ask you, know going back to the cliche of these are.

PROFESSIONALS i don't know if The bills backups are more than a touchdown better than The jets.

Starters but STILL i think The bills will to just enough to get this one.

Speaker 3

Done, yeah because when you look at where The jets, are they're preparing for twenty twenty six in the.

Draft they're just trying to get through and the players are just trying to get some offseason as quickly as they.

Can and The Buffalo bills are saying a lot of us to get you there.

Speaker 1

Faster last couple, here we got The New England.

Patriots they're playing a game against The.

Dolphins, ostensibly offset.

Speaker 12

Eye behind, me takes the, step he's.

Speaker 2

Back you'll hand it Off.

Speaker 12

Stevens it breaks out to the right, side to the fifteenth.

Speaker 2

Down to the, ten picks.

Speaker 12

It o'clock to the Pop STEVENSON mc goal of it Touchdown patriots Roblond Ray stevenson twenty one yard.

Speaker 2

Touchdown.

Speaker 1

Run, man we really Love Ryan radkey.

Today Ryan radkey Is westwood.

One he's on the call of all these.

Games Patriots, Dolphins patriots favored by eleven and a.

Speaker 2

Half, Here, nick you get it?

Speaker 3

Done Uh, no this is sad.

NEWS i have to tell my dad is just, like, okay well you know Your.

Dolphins that's.

Seventeen no season is not gonna.

Happen but, Uh drake May, man these guys are rolling in and The dolphins is still trying to.

Figures crappy NOW i means scrappy you, like but somehows scrappy doesn't get it.

Speaker 2

Done, hmmm what about?

You what do you think.

Speaker 4

Things never go as?

PLANNED i think this is the.

Speaker 9

UPSET i maybe feel best About reatriots as long As, wow the great golden years that The Bill belichick era have struggled going down To, MIAMI i think this could be much the.

Speaker 4

Same and The dolphins are playing.

Speaker 1

Great, okay finally The Baltimore ravens they win.

Speaker 2

And to get.

In our favorite on the rolling is The steelers boss.

Speaker 7

Left To Derrick.

Speaker 11

Henry ricarda big block and even puts it up the left side head sprints easily into the end, zone Touchdown Terrick henry six.

Yards he has broken two hundred on the.

Day he has tied his career high.

Speaker 4

With four t.

Speaker 2

Ds great is forty to twenty.

Speaker 11

Four On derek henvery day And Lembo field in the west ward.

Speaker 1

One John sadak there on the, Call So ravens are favored by four and a.

Speaker 2

Half Zach seekers on the.

Road who wins The battle of The.

Speaker 9

NORTH i think The ravens win this.

One the football gods have a sense of.

Humor and you take a team like The browns unseriously last week because you think you can handle the division, anyways AND i think they will smite the.

Speaker 6

Might.

Speaker 3

Work i'm gonna go with The ravens because when you look at The Pittsburgh still as they were built to a llegedly build this offseason to Stop Derrick, henry but The packers couldn't stop, him and The Pittsburgh stills are not going to stop.

Speaker 4

Him AND i Think lamar expected.

Speaker 3

To, Like, yeah, Yes Jim, harbaugh so much for firing him and Trading Lamar.

Speaker 1

Huh, yeah so much for.

That although although if you listen To, ben there will be no way That harball And Lamar jackson will coexist next.

Year So harbon might boos moved into some front office, position but they will not Be they will not be working together if you listen To.

Speaker 4

BEN i don't listen To.
