WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.240 Welcome to it Broncos Country tonight, but with all bride, Nick Ferguson, 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:08.480 Grant Smith. I see noted Kansas State and Missouri basketball enthusiast Michael Cooper back 3 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.320 there as well somewhere. Yep, I'm getting both barrels, both barrels today. 4 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.279 Five six six nine Zero's the text line. I finally found my car, 5 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.559 all is well, I can go pick it up tomorrow. Dude, 6 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.760 been without a car for like almost a week at this point. You know 7 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.399 what the great thing about it is that years ago that would have been a 8 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.719 huge problem. Yeah. Today we have Uber we do, yes, we 9 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.799 do. We have a ride sharing services. We got our feet seats. 10 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.240 I could just go walking. Yes, people don't don't do enough walking anymore. 11 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.640 Apparently there's a whole fad out there where you just run for an extended 12 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.640 period of time. It's called it's typic called jogging or yogging soft shadow. 13 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.000 Yeah. I don't know, I don't know how it's pronounced. But yeah, 14 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.880 so that's that's good. Saturday. You and I got out there to 15 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.439 the Mattress Firm a Quebec Square. We had a great time with the miles 16 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.159 of mascot The Broncos cheerleaders. Rod Smith was out there. In fact, 17 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.560 we're gonna replay our interview with Rod in the third hour tonight, so if 18 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.719 you guys missed that on Saturday, we had like a big long interview with 19 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.519 Rod Smith. I said some interesting stuff. We're gonna get a chance to 20 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.760 get to that tonight in the in the third hour, We've got Roby Bean 21 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.480 joining us. Uh no one, Clark Kellogg. It's gonna be next week, 22 00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.760 I believe, yep, okay, but a big showy gree How was 23 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:41.519 your weekend? My weekend was great. It was interesting because Grant wasn't there, 24 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.920 and I wish she was because this past weekend we learned more about dead 25 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:53.680 innovations than I cared to learn. But all great information though. I mean, 26 00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.040 look, I'm a little nervous. Put this guy in net in the 27 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.560 beds is gonna trip somebody like me up at some point. Well, hey, 28 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.680 as they say, got to be more careful. I'm just saying, 29 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.599 like a Rod was making some valid points, very valid absolutely, because these 30 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.479 beds now, they're like there was a smart and then there was the smart 31 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:23.000 pro right super smart yes, meaning that your bed you could actually connect your 32 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.479 phone to interface with your bed, like, uh, Shannon did it? 33 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.439 Yeah right, Shannon was running running the end. He was running the show 34 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.439 through the bed. He was playing music like through one of the beds. 35 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.960 And apparently they've got like uh these these memory settings or whatever you know, 36 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.280 like like you know, they have the settings in your car, Like you 37 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.240 can push the button and it'll adjust your car to the driver one, driver 38 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:47.840 two or whatever. I'm like, man, this is this is begging to 39 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.879 get me in trouble. So yeah, you know, I'm getting there. 40 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.479 I'm getting ready to push the button, and the bed is like do you 41 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:59.759 want the other side for Kelly or Michelle? Am I fighting down? If 42 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:05.639 you have frequent visitors, these were not the bids for you because they had 43 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.479 USB ports, They had beds that elevate side to side, temper straight, 44 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.400 They could warm the bed up, cool it down, firm yes, and 45 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.240 after if you wanted the crackling sound of a fireplace without having a fireplace, 46 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.960 you can do it for you. Are they comfortable? That's all I really 47 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.840 care about. The Yeah, I mean the beds. What do you need? 48 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.120 This seems seems like a little too much for a match. Okay. 49 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.159 The first thing I asked. I said, wait a minute. With all 50 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.240 these features, at some point, you're gonna tell me there's a cup holder 51 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.000 somewhere. Actually there's seven. If you right here, you have to fold 52 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.319 out tray for breakfast and a mini fridge underneath exactly. And it had the 53 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.879 light illumination under the bottom you could turn off via remote control. Somebody was 54 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.280 I was like, you don't already have lights on your back? No, 55 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:03.199 no, see, so what I'm talking about. But Rod came up with 56 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:09.360 this idea about you know who your frequent visitors might be, and you know, 57 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.960 they had the beds where you have a certain temperature for each side, 58 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.199 the firmness, and then all of a sudden, the conversation just ran in 59 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.560 a different direction, like what if the bed somehow said the wrong name? 60 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.600 And I was like, yeah, you get in bed. And also the 61 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.519 other side is like way softer than it was before. Yes, And You're 62 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:34.040 like it's like Goldie locks. Your bed is not like Goldie locks. Temper 63 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.279 pedick straight, trying to dry stitch on me, and I don't need this. 64 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.519 I was like, man. At first, I was like, man, 65 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.000 this is a lot of cool features. And then I was like, 66 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.199 no, now this is going to come back to bite me. And see 67 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.120 that's the first thing my mind went to when the guys started telling me about 68 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.560 all these features. I was thinking, like, wait a minute, James 69 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.519 Karen made a movie about this. It's like Terminator right, what you say, 70 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.079 what happened to Ben Man? Yes, death by bed right, it's 71 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.639 smothering him to sleep. You haven't been home in three days, Benjamin. 72 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.800 It's like a it's like a bed like of what is it? Five nights 73 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:14.720 of Freddy's right? Nder right? The ben gets hot. The bed's like 74 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.720 you didn't shower before you got on me? Yes, see changes the firmness, 75 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.600 the super hard so that you get out to go. Do you know 76 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.160 your second shower today? I know exactly. So it's like, man, 77 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.360 listen, I love technology. It has made our lives so much easier. 78 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.759 And when we look at sports, we get different angles, you get stopped 79 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.759 motion, like it's it's a scene out of the matrix. But at some 80 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.439 point, I mean, I draw the line in the sand when it comes 81 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.839 to having my bed equipped with so much technology, and even you know they 82 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:53.959 got smartphones, smart cars, smart homes, I'm like, no, we 83 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.560 got I got to draw the line somewhere right because your home may say, 84 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.519 you know what, you're not leaving today? Hi, robot, you can't 85 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.360 leave the house. Yes, you're gonna press the wrong button and it's just 86 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.439 going to fold you up in half and how thousand run your house? Hello? 87 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.839 Okay, I'm just saying, is it just me or do we have 88 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.199 too much technology in certain areas. It's supposed to make our lives easier, 89 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.680 too, but okay, really, really does it make our lives easier? 90 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:27.439 These smartphones? How many things that people have on their smartphones that they hope 91 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.680 that no one finds out? That someone always finds out. Hey, Grant, 92 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.680 I've been meaning to tell you if there is an untimely passing on my 93 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.839 part, I need you to speed over to my place and delete my browser 94 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.720 history immediately. I gotcha, Thank you, ID some screenshots and then like 95 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.040 a computer on fire. Oh good one man. It's technology is great, 96 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.040 man, but it's getting a little out of hand. I'm just saying, 97 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.680 that's just me. Cooover was giving me the Hawaiian Hello a little while ago. 98 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.319 I'll see it just because you were talking about his team. That's why 99 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.920 that's the middle thing. The seven pe nine says your mom gets both barrels. 100 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.879 Yeah, it just she does. We got a big show tonight, 101 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.480 Artie said, romey Bean's gonna be on seven thirty five. Got that Rod 102 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.000 Smith interview eight thirty five. The NFL six back a little bit later. 103 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.000 Some other surprising news to some I guess listeners to this show will know better. 104 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.959 Saturday, Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional sixth 105 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.240 round draft pick that would have the potential to become a fourth round draft pick 106 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.600 if he plays fifty one percent of snaps in the coming season. Pittsburgh Steelers 107 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.120 immediately announced that Russell Wilson will be the starter and Justin Fields is the backup. 108 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.800 I was not surprised. There were five total teams that called about Justin 109 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.240 Fields. The Broncos, We're not one of them. The teams that called 110 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.040 were in New England, the LA Chargers, the Indianapolis Colts, and the 111 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.319 Philadelphia Eagles. Of those teams, only the Eagles made an offer, and 112 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:59.800 it was a very similar offer to the one that the Steelers offered. Ultimately, 113 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.800 the Eagles ended up trading for Kenny Pickett instead. You know, I 114 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.720 liked, I rather like what Pittsburgh Steelers did. And I'll say this, 115 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.360 Ryan Poles, is something that he wanted to do because he said that, 116 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.000 Look, he wanted to put Justin Fields in a great position. Now, 117 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.560 for me, it's crazy because you could have done that when he was a 118 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.639 member of your team. And I know you're not one of those individuals who 119 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.040 are high on Justin Fields, but I feel as though this sets both the 120 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.679 Pittsburgh Steelers and both Russell and Justin up perfectly because when you look at how 121 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.639 both of those contracts are structured, it gives Pittsburgh an opportunity to kick the 122 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.120 tiers on both quarterbacks. Russ goes in as the starter. If things don't 123 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.799 work out, you have a younger version of Russell in the building, right, 124 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.759 And it's just like, okay, you turn over an entirely new leaf. 125 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.120 Every quarterback, Mister Trubisky, can he Pickett, Mason, Rudolph, 126 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.159 All of those guys are now being shipped off to other teams, even knat 127 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.240 Pickett has been placed in a great position with a team he's familiar with, 128 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.159 that's in his hometown, the Eagles swears backing up Jalen Hurstchy and usually when 129 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.840 guys are traded. You don't see guys put in position where they succeed, 130 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.080 Like when you think about what George Peyton has done with he did with Von 131 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.080 Miller and Bradley Chubb, that rarely happens that you would sit to teams that 132 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.279 set you up financially or from a winning perspective. So looking at how this 133 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:35.200 thing shapes out for everyone involved, everyone's gonna get what they needed. Well, 134 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.639 yeah, we'll see. I think, you know, I thought that 135 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.360 that was where he was gonna go. I think that for him, that 136 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.120 was probably the best setup. Obviously Arthur Smith the offensive coordinator there you know 137 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.519 in Pittsburgh, Now that's gonna be That's gonna be good for both of them 138 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.440 as well. Interestingly, only two quarterbacks in the NFL has combined over the 139 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.960 last two years for one hundred plus interceptions in sacks. You know who they 140 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:05.519 are, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields or do you know why, Let's put 141 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.679 some context on it, because that's one of those things that are often thrown 142 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.720 out there, that they both hold the ball too long in an attempt to 143 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.279 make plays. Right, But isn't that like you put Josh Allen in there? 144 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.519 Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, right, because sometimes that 145 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.480 phrase is just to be tossed out there. These guys lead the league in 146 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.039 sacks. But the other part is not added which you add it, which 147 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.600 the fact that they are mobile quarterbacks, which is different from your traditional pocket 148 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.440 passers. The two longest quarterbacks in the NFL in terms of time to throw, 149 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.159 Justin Fields by far holds the ball the longest in the NFL. It's 150 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.519 not even close. Russell Wilson is the second longest, and it's way behind 151 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.799 where Justin Fields is before he before he throws the ball. Now, some 152 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.200 of that number is elevated by the fact that they're scrambling around and that adds 153 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.440 to the amount of time they're holding the ball before they throw it. So 154 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.360 there's a buy die by with that. It is. The difference between the 155 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.840 two is that Russell Wilson historically has been a winning quarterback doing that, where 156 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.120 Justin Fields is ten and twenty eight as a starter in his career right, 157 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.320 and once again, to even talk about Fields in his situation even more, 158 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.440 I think you have to speak to as as to why a player like Fields 159 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.320 is doing that. They're not only trying to extend plays, but not having 160 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.399 adequate weapons around you and pass protection will force players who have that capability to 161 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.559 hit that button right now. It's almost like an eject button form. They're 162 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.399 sitting in the pocket, they're looking and looking, Okay, it's not there. 163 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:43.360 Bo't hit their escape patch. Let me get out to my right, 164 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.320 let me get out to my left. And I still feel as though that 165 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.720 is a key to centur for a lot of quarterbacks in this league. That's 166 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.960 why we have more quarterbacks who fit that kind of description. You look at 167 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.519 Josh Allen, you look at Patrick Mahomes. They hold the ball at the 168 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.559 high rate. Maybe not as high as maybe a Russell or Justin Simmons, 169 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.480 but they do hold the ball. And for me, if I am a 170 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.000 defender, those are the quarterbacks that make it really difficult to defend against because 171 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.919 they're going to break contain and you always hear dB coaches talk about plaster, 172 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.080 plaster, plaster, and that means you got to make sure that you grab 173 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.519 and latch onto a guy that's in your particular area, and that makes it 174 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.720 harder to defend because if that mobile quarterback starts to get outside the pocket, 175 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:35.240 frequently you now have to dedicate someone specifically with stopping them the one area they 176 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.799 diverge, because if you look at Russell Wilson, you look at Justin Fields, 177 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.879 some one area where they most of their stats are Apallo the one area 178 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.879 where they diverge in the fourth quarter. Russell Wilson let the NFL and fourth 179 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.919 quarter comebacks, game winning drives and had the number one scoring offense in the 180 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.320 NFL. Justin Fields was at the bottom or in the bottom three of every 181 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.039 statistical category in fourth quarter passing. Well, he is the way that without 182 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.360 me being in a room with Pittsburgh, so it was in their management. 183 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.600 They were probably taking what you said into consideration. And usually when you hear 184 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.440 that, it all depends on what side of the fence you sit on. 185 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.320 Ben. When you hear a quarterback has so many fourth quarter comebacks, someone 186 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.000 say, well, that means that you were trailing and you had to get 187 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.399 back in the game, which is true because not every quarterback and every team 188 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.399 you're not going to lead for seventeen games all four quarters. It's not going 189 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.519 to happen. But they're thinking, okay, but with their defense and the 190 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.120 move that they're making defensively and Russell's ability to do that and have those fourth 191 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.000 quarter comebacks, that is going to bowl well for them because they know that. 192 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.440 Hey, listen, you're in the tough AFC North with some great quarterbacks 193 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.080 Burrow, Lamar Watson. You're going to be in some tough divisional games, 194 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.200 and when you look at the remaining of the AFC, those games are going 195 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.200 to be tighter. So you need someone who has experience and doing that, 196 00:13:54.240 --> 00:14:00.320 and you hope maybe through osmosis it rubs off on j Justin Field. I 197 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.240 feel like that that's the best situation for Justin Fields in the end. I'm 198 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.159 not a big Justin Fields guy. I'm just not. I thought he was 199 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.039 kind of slow at processing the field. I thought he got himself in trouble 200 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.759 sometimes. I think he's an old world athlete, a top one percent of 201 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.320 the top one percent athlete. But as a quarterback. I'm not building my 202 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.360 team around that, you know. I mean, I'm building my team around 203 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.519 in Alan. I'm building my team around in my home. So I'm building 204 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.360 my team around guys who absolutely can pass the football at any level, accurately, 205 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.879 on time and consistently. And the mobility is a big plus. It 206 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.759 would have been out. Now, Josh Allen wasn't always that guy. He 207 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.759 wasn't, right, he developed into that guy. But that's the old Bill 208 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.639 Walsh rool. If they don't have it by three year three, they're not 209 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.320 going to get it. Alan had it by year three. Malves had it 210 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.639 by year one. Yeah, but Alan, to his credit, had some 211 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.120 weapons around him, which made the first two years. I mean, those 212 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.600 firstw years we pretty good. They got digs in the third year, right, 213 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.600 and that's when it started to take off. Yes, And I'll give 214 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:03.399 Joe Brady some credit for a little for that. And what's the ken Dorsey 215 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.240 was fired out? Listen, even though Dorsey was fired you have to give 216 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.639 Dorsey a little credit. He developed him exactly. So once again, when 217 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.320 we when we discuss this about any quarterback, even these quarterbacks currently coming out, 218 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.360 these are the things that we have to make sure that we discussed and 219 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.799 put in context because it is not just the player by himself. That player 220 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.240 has a unique skill set, don't get me wrong, But can you, 221 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.679 as a coordinator, signal caller, can you enhance what that guy brings to 222 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:41.919 the table? Yes, upgrade exactly. That's that's basically what it is. 223 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.879 And that's the question that we should have or maybe that to context which we 224 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.840 should speak in. Can you, as an offensive coordinator upgrade this guy from 225 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.639 what he is to what you were projecting him to be? And if the 226 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.960 Steelers do that with Russ and Justin, they look like geniuses. If they 227 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.039 don't, they were low cost flyers that didn't cost them. It cost him 228 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:08.720 one point two million dollars and a six round draft pick. Still, I 229 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.919 mean, either way, they looked like they looked like steel And that's I 230 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.720 mean, like Kudo bron I didn't want fields here, but I'll and and 231 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.960 the Broncos did not call. But that that is a I that is a 232 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.080 steal. I don't already say the teams are called. They can't remember if 233 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.720 I told your nun no, no, you did not, that that is 234 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.720 information. I will tell that you can seal. The Eagles and the Colts 235 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.360 both called. The Eagles were the only other team to offer. Then they 236 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.080 offered a similar deal. Uh, the New England Patriots called, and they 237 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.960 were hanging around there. They hadn't they hadn't offered, but they were hanging 238 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.440 around to you know, up until he was dealt to the Steelers. And 239 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.159 he was dealt to the Steelers because he told his representation Dave, I'll geta 240 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.399 told uh Ryan Poles he would rather go to the Steelers than the Patriots. 241 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:56.879 Uh. And then the other team was the Los Angeles Chargers. Interesting put 242 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.080 uh put Jim Harball, let him. Let him get another with Greg Roman. 243 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.640 But he is saying, I get it. But here is what essentially 244 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.160 has happened with what you're suggesting in the moves that were made. Look at 245 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:19.200 what Doug Peterson did down in Jacksonville. You already have Trevor Lawrence. So 246 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:26.240 you know that the Patriots with the new head coach and Gerro Mayo, wanted 247 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.119 out from under Mac Jones. So you trade for him. You give him 248 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.240 a six round pick. Form that's nothing, but you essentially have two quarterbacks 249 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.759 who were drafted in the same draft, right in the first round, one 250 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.640 number one overall, one fifteenth. They're now on the same squad. And 251 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:49.079 what we're saying is teams are now starting to understand not how valuable the starting 252 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:55.240 position is been, but the guy in waiting is. Because I think last 253 00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:00.480 year we saw sixty different quarterbacks started the NFL game. So we know either 254 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.720 a guy's going the backup is going to get in either because the starter was 255 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.119 either injured or did not play productive enough. So you have to have that 256 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.359 guy in waiting. If you don't, you're in trouble. In the fact 257 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.640 that Ryan Poles tried to set Justin Fields up and Phil's had an opportunity to 258 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:26.880 choose where he wanted to go. That finally, the Pittsburgh not to excuse 259 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:33.759 me, finally the Chicago Bears did something favorable for Justin Fields to succeed, 260 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.759 and they did it on his way out. I think they did things. 261 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.880 I mean, they had a DJ Moore last year who would be a top 262 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.680 five wide orceive with anybody else that's last year. And then even with what 263 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.440 he was doing last year with DJ Moore, he still wasn't getting credit for 264 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:51.759 that. So outside of DJ Moore and Cole Comet when he was healthy, 265 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.799 where else was he going with the vault? Well, Darl Mooney, and 266 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.000 then they had the two backs that he mostly threw it to as well. 267 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.079 Well. I mean, it's it's six and one half does the other. 268 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:03.839 We'll figure it out. We'll see. Time will tell on that five six, 269 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.079 six times of text line. Russ is a fumbler. According to the 270 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.160 seven one nine. Well, if you think he's a fumbler, he fumbled 271 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.079 sixteen times over the last two seasons in thirty games. Justin Field's fumbled twenty 272 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.720 six times into fewer games in twenty games. If there was something that I 273 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.960 would say I would love to see Russ do a lot better is bass security. 274 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.279 It's almost similar to a running back. A running back is taught like 275 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.079 once you get around several bodies, yep, the first team, you have 276 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.960 points content, you have to cover it up. That's where he needs to 277 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.799 get better. And sometimes we've seen running backs do it some Miiji p Rhyd 278 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.119 did it this year. When you're fighting for extra yards, you're trying to 279 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.119 get that stiff farm out there to get those defenders off of you, and 280 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.519 sometimes you become relaxed with that eight point suppressure. Like Bobby Turner, you 281 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:55.160 should talk about you need the eight point sup pressure and Russ has the ability 282 00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:57.240 to do that. So that that is the one thing that I would say 283 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.559 I did not like about his game, that he he needs to get better 284 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.799 moving forward. Well, he does. But fields, on the other hand, 285 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.880 like I said, Russ had sixteen fumbles, he recovered I believe six 286 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:11.119 of them in thirty games. Justin Fields had twenty six fumbles in twenty eight 287 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.319 games. So Justin Field had ten more fumbles in two fewer games. That's 288 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.119 carrying the ball away from your body. Got it. If you're going to 289 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:19.799 be a quarterback, run on the ball, you gotta wrap it up. 290 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.119 We gotta wrap the segment up. We'll be back on the other side after 291 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.480 this. Welcome back to it, Broncos Country tonight. Benjamin ol Brighten, 292 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.400 Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you. Five six six nine zero four 293 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.240 one ols. So what are we doing a quarterback? Well, that's a 294 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:36.759 good question. Right now, we got Jared stead Of, Ben de Nucci, 295 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.960 the nuts, the nuts. I think the Broncos are obviously going to 296 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.799 draft the quarterback. The question is where and how I think more or less 297 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.680 who, Well, that's the who we want to get to those yes, 298 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.880 I I mean we know Sean Payton likes JJ McCarthy. I just man, 299 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.880 I don't think the Broncos have the amo to get there based on what the 300 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.440 Vikings did, an acquisition of another first round pick, and you know, 301 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.880 hearing things out of Minnesota that Quasy Dofo Mensa, their GM. They're gonna 302 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.960 be at the workout of McCarthy. They really, they really like it and 303 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.680 maybe a head fake though it's either may or McCarthy for them, I just 304 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.799 don't know which one. Well, you know what, that's a crazy thing 305 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.759 about this time too, because we get pumped fake a lot because they were 306 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.559 a couple of years ago. Everybody was trying to tell you it was Mac 307 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.640 Jones at three and I'm like, no, this is Trey Lance. I 308 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.880 knew it was Trey Lance because people on both sides started telling I don't want 309 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.440 to say lies, well, let's call them have truths. And this information 310 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.440 gets out there and it circulates and it comes from different sources and idea, 311 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.000 since it's coming from different sources, then it must be true. But we 312 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.160 eventually find out. But Minnesota is positioning themselves if they wanted to, if 313 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.960 they wanted to move up and make JJ McCarthy their guide to add with another 314 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.440 JJ and justin Jefferson, it is something that they could do. And then 315 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.960 if some of the roomors say are what they say they are, and once 316 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.279 again you got to take them with a grain of salt. That McCarthy is 317 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:11.519 beloved by one Sean Payton, then he could be off the board, which 318 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.680 therefore believe bo Nicks. Yeah, so it's gonna be interesting to see what 319 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.519 they do. I again, I just do not believe that the Broncos had 320 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.680 the ammunition to get up and get one of the Big four. And they're 321 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.359 all gonna be gone by six. All four of those quarterbacks are gonna be 322 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.920 gone by six, which means if the Broncos want to get involved, they 323 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.000 have to hope that their guy is there at either four or five and then 324 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.079 mortgage in their next three drafts in order to get there. And I just 325 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.640 I can't see the fan base being okay. I can't see the Sean Payton 326 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.680 being okay with that. I know he's been aggressive in the draft of the 327 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:52.279 past, but you're really gonna mortgage everything. Some fans would be happy about 328 00:22:52.279 --> 00:23:00.440 that because now the team has finally had their quarterback of the future sort of 329 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.480 speak. You have a quarterback. Only three years from now will we be 330 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.519 able to tell if that panned out or not. So, in the mind 331 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:17.000 of certain individuals, give up whatever you need to give up to get that 332 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:22.160 guy that you want, because obviously the headache that has been for the past 333 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.640 couple of years, the Bronco's not having a quarterback that they can truly call 334 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:32.440 their own, not someone else's guy, right that it was, you know, 335 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.279 I guess regifted and given to you. No, no, no, 336 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:38.240 no, you want your own present, someone that you can get behind, 337 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.759 not someone that another fan base has rooted for. No, you want your 338 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:47.920 own I'm not gonna say homegrown talent, but essentially a guy that's coming in 339 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.319 day one that's been drafted by this particular franchise. Yeah, and I think 340 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.640 that's you know, that's the thing. I think the fan base is clamoring 341 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.359 for the guy. They want to get behind the guy. That kind of 342 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.519 thing. But it's it's tough because you're in a tough spot. You're picking 343 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.559 at twelve. You've got Minnesota who has the ammunition to leap frog you. 344 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:15.599 They've got a fort extra first this year, and you know it's tough to 345 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:22.279 You've got a Raiders team that might even move up. It's just a it's 346 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.680 just a tough ask. You're already I mean, the Niners move from twelve 347 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.680 to three a couple of years ago for Trey Lance, and it cost them 348 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.559 three first rounders and a third that's what the that's what the going rate is. 349 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.680 This year's first, next year's first, the year after that's first and 350 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.039 a third rounder. The Broncos already don't have a second rounder, So you're 351 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.559 mortgaging everything if you're gonna do that, literally everything. I get that, 352 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:55.279 But where Broncos fans are now in this organization is now that's what you may 353 00:24:55.319 --> 00:25:00.039 have to do if you think that what whichever quarterback that's out there, he 354 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:07.240 is the guy in that Peyton can actually make that guy anything, or let's 355 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.160 just say even sixty percent of what Drew Brees was with him in New Orleans. 356 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:17.240 They're willing to take that risk. That's sixty percent of Drew Brees, 357 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.519 is why. I mean, yeah, last year, Okay, well that 358 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:26.079 that's better than not having anything at all. Because keep this in mind, 359 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:32.319 most fans would take sixty percent of Drew Brees. If Sean Payton could create 360 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:37.640 that with whomever he drafts over what they they've seen of Jeffstonman and finding two 361 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.279 games of the season, you not. I would not. It's not with 362 00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.920 what it would take to do that. I'm not mortgaging three first cent a 363 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.960 third to go get sixty percent of Drew Brees. If I'm trading that it 364 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:52.000 better before Drew Brees, Well, that that ships unless you know a cryo 365 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:56.920 chamber somewhere. We got the cloning technology at cloning Sheep. I can't, 366 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:02.799 but they can't. They can't clothe and I pone in Hall of Fame quarterbacks. 367 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.960 If that was the case, we'll go out there callin John Elway or 368 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.400 Peyton Medding again five six six nine zeros in tex last six four to six 369 00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.640 says I think Peyton did the right thing, not citing one of the retreats. 370 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.960 If he's rebuilding, which clearly he is, rollerstin them draft someone in 371 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:21.319 mid rounds and next year started attempting to be competitive. I'm not posting someone 372 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.000 night say. Ben said the Broncos would have a new quarterback last week. 373 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:26.200 What didn't happen, I said, I thought they would have a new quarterback 374 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.359 last week. And what didn't happen was Minnesota output them for San Darnald. 375 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.640 I thought they were gonna get the the San Donald thing done. I really 376 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:34.119 did. I think they thought that too. I know the pr out there 377 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.599 now is so they weren't really in and all this stuff, which is crap. 378 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.880 But I thought they were gonna get sand Donald don After watching so many 379 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:49.680 quarterbacks go off the board in free agency, I was thinking that Donald would 380 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:55.640 be that guy. And we'll we'll never know the true story, and I 381 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.519 wish that I can call it Donald and ask him, like, did the 382 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.319 Broncos pursue you? And was it the fact that Minnesota gave you an offer 383 00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:10.319 you couldn't refuse or it was just like you just in view the Broncos as 384 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:15.519 a team where you felt as though you can live out your best years you 385 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.359 have remaining statistically in the league. Well, he'signed a one year deal with 386 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:22.720 Minnesota, and the reason that he did that is because it gave him a 387 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.400 clearer path to start. Even with a trade up for a rookie, gave 388 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.920 him a clearer path to start. He doesn't have to battle anybody. It's 389 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.559 gonna be him until the rookie takes over. So all he has to do 390 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.599 is hold the rookie off for one year. He bet on himself and he 391 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.480 has kind of the Mayfield situation. Oh, by the way, he gets 392 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.160 to throw to Addison and Jefferson. That's not a bad life. That's not 393 00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.000 a bad life. And you have Aaron Jones if Aaron Jones out of the 394 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:48.359 backfield, and let's not take anything away from Coominson, yes, from the 395 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:55.440 Minnesota Vikings defense, and you're going to a system that you know familiar to 396 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:57.839 you, right, So I think that there was a for Sam Donald. 397 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:00.839 Sam Donald viewed minnesot it was a much much better landing spot. And by 398 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.839 the way, it ended up being a de facto trade in Minnesota because Josh 399 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:10.119 Dobbs today. So I with the forty nine ers, see, I don't 400 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.960 get that one. I really don't very interesting. You don't. You don't 401 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.839 think that Josh Dobbs and San Francisco the reason I as or not. Listen, 402 00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.359 Josh is a smart guy. So I know that he's smart enough. 403 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.079 I think he was what is it astrophysicist, yeah, astrophysicist, yes, 404 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.880 so he can get he can grasp the concepts of any system. But I 405 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.680 just look at his athleticism. It is not something that fits traditionally what Kyle 406 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:45.279 Shanahan wants to do, unless you're telling me after watching Pat Mahomes run the 407 00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.440 ball on them and he didn't run wild on him, he run it a 408 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:53.640 couple of times that Kyle is willing to make an adjustment that would be interesting. 409 00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.400 I'm I'm here, sad. I think Dobb's look bigger in that system. 410 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.839 We'll see. Uh. We got Roby Bean coming up seventh thirty five. 411 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.079 You guys gonna stick around for that. The six pack EO five Rod 412 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.079 Smith interview from this weekend eight thirty five, that's gonna be going up as 413 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:12.000 well. Let's check in with Travick Dave O'Brien. Welcome back to it Broncos 414 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.160 Country tonight. Benjamin Olbriden, Nick Ferguson, Grant Smith here with you, 415 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.559 seveone nine. Ask where the Broncos have interest in Malik Willis, to which 416 00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:25.960 I would ask why, and I would follow that with no, they don't, 417 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.119 But why would they? I don't. I mean, you're talk about 418 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.200 a guy who couldn't beat out will Levis. Well, first of all, 419 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.440 he didn't look like he belonged on the field. The skill set does not. 420 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:45.799 Despite what you may think of Malik Willas as a quarterback, his skill 421 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:52.599 set itself does not fit what Sean Payton was exactly. So wants the elastic 422 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.200 pocket passing play in structure quarterback if they have a little mobility, cool, 423 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:02.920 But I get tired of people who and and every time I say that, 424 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:06.039 the first thing that what about Taysom Hill. He thought he was gonna turn 425 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.079 Taysom Hill into that, well the back. If you look at the quarterbacks 426 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:14.200 as Sean Payton's drafted Taysom Hill, Nick Stevens, they're all Tony Romo clones. 427 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:17.119 He all thinks, wait, wait, no, no, no, 428 00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.519 no, no, both. Taysom Hill was not a Romo clone at all. 429 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:25.240 He was just like kind of a same body type, same passing structure, 430 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.039 the same same mobility. He was a souped up version of Tim Tebow. 431 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.519 But these guys are all like He's looking at him, like, that's 432 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.240 my new Tony Romo. Sean Payton's looking at all these guys like Nick Stevens, 433 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.079 who wound up turning into a full back by the way out of Mississippi 434 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:45.200 State. They are souped up Tebos because the scale here is Tebow to Romo, 435 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.480 right, and Babe thinks he's gonna turn him into into Romo, and 436 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.319 more often than not they turned into Tebo. You take that Toyota super Room, 437 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.799 right, and no, no, Toyota Supra super yes, and then 438 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.359 you just kind of soup it up with some Uh No, no, no 439 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.640 we're not. We're not putting the soup can exhaust. No, no, 440 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.160 we're not put the giant the giant t bag spoiler on it. Yes, 441 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.920 by the fast quarterback. No, that's exactly what it was. That idea 442 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.599 needs to die. Like never mind, I mean taysm was the quintessential gadget 443 00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:22.480 guy. That was not why he was drafted. He was drafted to be 444 00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.200 the next quarterback job. Buten was going to develop and turned him into The 445 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:34.039 idea might have been there initially, but the skill set wasn't all there completely. 446 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:40.759 Like, if we're talking about a fantasy guy, you're not using Taysom 447 00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.079 Hill and putting him as your backup quarterback. You're gonna put him as maybe 448 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.359 you're tight end because most likely he's going to be in that position a lot 449 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.279 as long as being a quarterback. No, that's that's not who he is. 450 00:31:55.319 --> 00:32:00.000 Even though he did get paid as though he was a quarterback. Yeah, 451 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.039 they signed it. He wasn't drafting, he was undrafted, but they 452 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.960 signed it. He signed He signed him to be that. He signed him 453 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.240 to be that guy. Well, he's the first one with Green Bay. 454 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.359 That was the thing. He was on the what was it like the practice 455 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:10.720 squad or whatever they were training camp, and then Sean Payton sided to be 456 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.400 the guy. He was six foot two, two thirties, built thick, 457 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.240 and he was like, Okay, he's this guy who can be my next 458 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:20.640 Tony Romo and he's not. And then you go back and you look, 459 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.480 Nick Stevens was the same build like they like, Sean Payton has a type. 460 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.160 Well, I guess we all have types, don't we. Wait? 461 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:34.759 I look, no, Grant makes a lot. Had a type? Yeah, 462 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:37.880 yeah, yes, so it makes a lot. Did have the type? 463 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.200 I don't know that I have a type, but we all looked the 464 00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:44.519 same with the lights off. Well, look, man, Sean has a 465 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:49.200 type. We all have a type. And right now he's sticking to his 466 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.039 type because he in his mind, his type is going to get him to 467 00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.920 where he wants to be and for him, that's the only thing that matters. 468 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.720 And I'm okay with that? Did you just you bet a damn sure? 469 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.240 Get so tight? Well? But what I'm what I'm trying to get 470 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:08.559 at here is that Sean Payton is who was there when Tony Romo was brought 471 00:33:08.599 --> 00:33:14.519 in, never played thoroughman didn't play while Sean pap was there, but he 472 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.119 was. He was there in the quarterback room and I feel like that and 473 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.240 by the way, that was who Sean Payton wanted to be his quarterback, 474 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.519 but Dallas wouldn't give him up. Back then, they I think they were 475 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:30.920 playing Quincy Carter at the time and Anthony Wright. I think Ryan Leaf even 476 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.359 played a couple of games there. My boy Cletch Stterner played a game, 477 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:39.680 but at the time Tony Romo hadn't played. Nobody knew what he was yet, 478 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.279 and Sean Payton wanted to bring him to once that was going to be 479 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.279 his guy. They Dallas wouldn't let him go, so they shopped around the 480 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:51.640 free agent market. They struck out on the first choice, and when Miami 481 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:55.200 failed Drew Brees due to physical they failed him on his neck. The doctor's 482 00:33:55.200 --> 00:34:00.119 there because Nick Saban wanted Drew Brees. Pete Carmichael, who had been the 483 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:06.519 quarterbacks assistant quarterbacks coach with the Chargers, convince Sean Payton to bring Drew Brees 484 00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.440 in and the rest, of course is history. But Sean Payton hasn't gone 485 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.199 out and tried to draft Drew Brees. Look at the guys he's drafted. 486 00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:22.199 Those guys are aren't Drew Brees archetypes. But what he's recognizing is the skill 487 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:29.039 set that he feels as though these quarterbacks possess, and the hopes is developing 488 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:35.800 them into something as close to what Drew Brees was, because those are the 489 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:40.000 qualities you have to identify first when you're bringing someone in at a quarterback. 490 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:45.960 And for me, look, I like Vanella ben Do I stray too far 491 00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:50.559 off the path? I either right or left? Not so much because I 492 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.280 know what I like and I know what I like has worked for me. 493 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:59.679 Now for Sean Payton, he now has to prove that after all these years, 494 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:07.239 he can finally find that guy that has a couple of those characteristics that 495 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.639 Breeze might have possessed. And I know his biggest thing, Like a lot 496 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.199 of individuals who are OC's, you go back to how quickly can a player 497 00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.519 process information? See, that's a bigger topic. I want to save that 498 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:27.079 one for tomorrow because there's so much to explore there. But that's what he's 499 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:34.559 looking for, skill set size processing. Hopefully you can get it, because 500 00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.760 if he does, everything's happy around here. If he doesn't, then I 501 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.840 got to look at your sad face every day. It's a very sad face, 502 00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:45.039 very sad face. Somebody deserves that. Broncos Country Night, We'll be back.
