Speaker 7: gonna be joining us all season long on Fridays.
Speaker 3: Pat, thanks so much for the time.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: How are you.
Speaker 8: I'm doing good.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. What a week, my friend?
Speaker 7: I mean, if you get the contract extension, you're named
Speaker 7: a team captain. What was your reaction to just an
Speaker 7: unbelievab roller coaster kind of weak?
Speaker 8: Oh man, your feeling was something I couldn't have ever imagined.
Speaker 9: Man, It's something that I've always dreamed of, you know,
Speaker 9: just happened a week like this.
Speaker 8: It doesn't come by so often, so I appreciate it every.
Speaker 9: Moment, every bit of it. Getting the contract done and
Speaker 9: obviously being the name team captain. Man, it's honestly a
Speaker 9: surreal feeling.
Speaker 8: It feels like I was dreaming through the most of it.
Speaker 8: But to see my dreams come into fruition.
Speaker 9: Man, it's honestly a blessing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a pretty grounded guy.
Speaker 7: So I was thinking this week before we were going
Speaker 7: to have you on, I was thinking about, like what
Speaker 7: you as a younger player, whether it was high school
Speaker 7: or college, imagining yourself as a pro based on what
Speaker 7: you imagined your career could look like the first few
Speaker 7: years of it. How has it matched up to that,
Speaker 7: especially when you put into context this week.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think when I was younger, First things first,
Speaker 9: I've always had a vision in mind, a vision and
Speaker 9: set to always be the best player I could be.
Speaker 8: Choice reached this level.
Speaker 9: And you know, at that stage early on in my career,
Speaker 9: I didn't never knew.
Speaker 8: What my potential could look like because I was so wrong.
Speaker 9: With God giving ability. But now sitting in here today,
Speaker 9: you know, just looking at my play now and seeing
Speaker 9: how far I come in, I'm just thankful for all
Speaker 9: the ups.
Speaker 8: And downs, all that first moments, you know.
Speaker 9: Through the wins and losses of my career, but I
Speaker 9: always stand tall and was able to you know, get
Speaker 9: better each and every year. And I'm honestly, you know,
Speaker 9: grateful for that, honestly because you know, in this league, man,
Speaker 9: you get so many opportunities to really you know, put
Speaker 9: your film out there, push your production out there.
Speaker 8: And each and every year, I realized, I've.
Speaker 9: Seen myself grow and get better.
Speaker 8: So looking where I was back then time now.
Speaker 9: Man, I just see, you know, light years better and you.
Speaker 8: Know, test steps ahead as far as.
Speaker 9: My mental randess.
Speaker 8: As you know, my career goes along the lines.
Speaker 7: That's awesome. Patzer Tan joining us here. Let's talk about
Speaker 7: the Seattle Seahawks. Obviously, you know what this talent is
Speaker 7: A wide receiver. You know Dk Metcalf, you know Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 7: Jackson Smith and Jigga a guy who was a rookie
Speaker 7: last year. He's going to be a factor in this
Speaker 7: When you look at that elite receiving cores and you
Speaker 7: think about the matchups for you, but even just for
Speaker 7: the secondary for you guys.
Speaker 3: But you got Riley Moss now on the opposite side.
Speaker 7: What what do they represent and how big of a
Speaker 7: deal is the communication for you guys when it comes
Speaker 7: to this game.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think communication is gonna be very vital. Obviously
Speaker 9: their receivers there, they all have special abilities to them.
Speaker 9: I think they all complement each other very well. I mean,
Speaker 9: uh DK, obviously he's a great player, you know. I
Speaker 9: mean is there a big time playmaker Tyler Lockett as well,
Speaker 9: a veteran and very savvy guy, and you got the rookie.
Speaker 9: The second year player is Jackson Smith who is a
Speaker 9: great player as well too, and he's been making plays,
Speaker 9: stepping in making play since last year. So I'm looking
Speaker 9: forward to the matchup. Obviously it's a test, but I
Speaker 9: think our second theary is very battle tested, just knowing.
Speaker 8: What we have to go through this year.
Speaker 9: Obviously with the departures of you know, Dressing and Kareem,
Speaker 9: so we started off as a very young group. I
Speaker 9: feel like this training camp, we've grown and we got better,
Speaker 9: and I just think we help each other each and
Speaker 9: every day to get better and strive for greatness.
Speaker 7: I know you guys had a change with your specific
Speaker 7: position coach in the offseason, but how much do the
Speaker 7: continuity of the overall defensive continuity with VJ coming back,
Speaker 7: How much did that help you guys?
Speaker 8: Yeah, helped a lot. You know, this is my first year.
Speaker 9: Wife was able to.
Speaker 8: Really have the same DC for two years.
Speaker 9: Now, So honestly that's a blessing.
Speaker 8: But I just think the defense as a whole, I
Speaker 8: think we meshed well. We're very confident this year.
Speaker 9: We're very eager and hungry.
Speaker 8: And VJ allows us to play soft fall potential because
Speaker 8: he trusted the abilities man and you know, we have
Speaker 8: a coach that thinks, you know, the defense like that,
Speaker 8: the potential is high, and I think throughout all season,
Speaker 8: training camp, not a season this year, I think we've
Speaker 8: grown each and every day, each.
Speaker 9: And every process, you know, getting our playbooks and implementing it.
Speaker 8: On to the field, and I think all confidence has grown.
Speaker 9: So I'm looking forward to a week.
Speaker 7: One for sure, last one year for you and again
Speaker 7: Patzertan joining us all season long on Fridays.
Speaker 3: Wanted to ask you about getting off to a fast start.
Speaker 7: Coach Payton has talked a lot about it, talked about
Speaker 7: it again in the press conference. I'd love to know
Speaker 7: for you, playing your position, what are the challenges of
Speaker 7: that knowing that, hey, you're one of eleven, but you're
Speaker 7: one of the most important on the defense and you
Speaker 7: sort of set a bit of a tone for that
Speaker 7: fast start.
Speaker 3: How did how do you Does that impact you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 8: The like I believe, cornerback is one of the premier
Speaker 8: positions in the NFL. I don't think you come around
Speaker 8: so often shut down corner so.
Speaker 9: Being able to be in that role, being able to
Speaker 9: be in that position, man, I think it speaks volumes.
Speaker 9: And obviously VJ has full grown trust to me to
Speaker 9: be able to fulfill my potential in that way.
Speaker 8: And I'm looking on each and every year, I'm.
Speaker 9: Looking to take a step forward and fulfilling that role
Speaker 9: in that process. So I think the cornerback position has
Speaker 9: becoming very vibe over the years, obviously with more and
Speaker 9: more Ey League corners coming in.
Speaker 8: I just think that the position itself speaks for itself.
Speaker 9: Just gods coming in, being on the island, having to
Speaker 9: shut down these talented receivers, elite receivers each and every week.
Speaker 9: I think that position itself hoes his own all.
Speaker 7: Right, Pat, It's now time for the Children's Hospital Colorado
Speaker 7: kid castor question is presented by your Colorado bu A
Speaker 7: GMC Dealers Colorado b A GMC, proud supporters of the
Speaker 7: Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation. This week's question is from Emma.
Speaker 3: I am Emma. I'm fifteen years old. I am a
Speaker 3: patient Children's Colorado. What is your favorite weird food combination?
Speaker 1: Emma.
Speaker 9: That's a very good question. Matter of fact, this might
Speaker 9: be a very popular food combination, and it's something that
Speaker 9: grew on me. At first, I wasn't very fond of it.
Speaker 9: I wasn't a fan of it, but I alway type
Speaker 9: to say pineapples on pieces.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, all right, okay, all right, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 3: is kind of underrated. I'm actually with you on that.
Speaker 1: It is underrated for sure.
Speaker 9: But I've had to really allow myself to try it
Speaker 9: over and over again, and I can say it's probably
Speaker 9: it's pretty good. I can say it's pretty tasty for sure.
Speaker 1: So I would have to.
Speaker 9: Say that pineapple on pizza is something that I've grown
Speaker 9: on over the years.
Speaker 7: That's a fantastic answer, Pat, Thank you so much of
Speaker 7: the time. Like I said, looking forward to doing this
Speaker 7: all season long. Best of luck on Sunday against Seattle Bud.
Speaker 8: Thank you appreciate you.
Speaker 4: I have a doctor Broncos six points of the game
Speaker 4: because he's Pineapple on pizza.
Speaker 3: Guy, I love pineapple. I love pineapple and I love pizza.
Speaker 4: But they do not go together, sir, oh Man, Ham
Speaker 4: and pineapple.
Speaker 3: Oh pizza.
Speaker 6: Oh, they have this one at winter Park. Whenever I
Speaker 6: go skiing, I get ham and pineapple pizza time.
Speaker 3: I'm so good on that.
Speaker 6: I had a little onion on there from time, the
Speaker 6: onion and pineapple.
Speaker 4: By the way, if you ever make tacos, substitute the
Speaker 4: tomato with pineapple.
Speaker 3: And the onion and the red onion in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, best combo you'll have ben, especially like Alpa store title.
Speaker 3: Oh Man Delicious, It's so good. Jampack Show Tonight.
Speaker 4: Nick Ferguson is going to join us by phone here
Speaker 4: just a few minutes of seven thirty five. Got Ryan,
Speaker 4: Michael Edido five, Curtis Crabtree. We're up there in Seatol
Speaker 4: is going to join us in the bottom of the
Speaker 4: eight o'clock hour. Get a little preview of the Seahawks.
Speaker 4: Can't wait to talk to Nick about all the football
Speaker 4: action that's happening this weekend. We've got the Broncos taken
Speaker 4: on the Seattle Seahawks. We've got the CU Buffs taken
Speaker 4: on the Brasket corn Huskers, and Wet Blanket. Albright is
Speaker 4: in the house because he's picking against the home team
Speaker 4: in both of them.
Speaker 6: I think I gets the home team at both of
Speaker 6: them as well. Yeah, so I'm joining you in the
Speaker 6: Wet Blanket.
Speaker 4: By the way, if I got logged in on the
Speaker 4: pro pick them and I am in there just for
Speaker 4: whatever reason.
Speaker 3: Not in the iHeart group. I'm in the regular people group.
Speaker 3: I think I am too.
Speaker 4: So he needs to somebody needs to move me when
Speaker 4: it comes to that, and we'll we'll try and figure
Speaker 4: all that out.
Speaker 6: But well, you know, wh Jeff Johnson is in charge
Speaker 6: of things, there's sometimes some missing pieces.
Speaker 3: I can see him turning his truck around like that
Speaker 3: five six six nine Zeros text line. You guys want
Speaker 3: to get involved the conversation.
Speaker 4: I want to hear what you guys think about the
Speaker 4: games this week and who are you more confident in?
Speaker 4: Are you more confident in the See You Buffs, You're
Speaker 4: more confident even the Denver Broncos. You're not confident in
Speaker 4: either one. If you look at me, I'm I'm not
Speaker 4: particularly confident in either one. I think Nebraska is a
Speaker 4: better team than people think, although they beat up on
Speaker 4: a pretty poor appointment in Week one. I think the
Speaker 4: Colorado obviously had the tougher opportent with North Coast State.
Speaker 4: And then you've got the Broncos flying up to Seattle
Speaker 4: to take on the Seahawks on Sunday. Both those games
Speaker 4: right here on KOA obviously, but it is it is
Speaker 4: a tough task. I mean, a rookie quarterback on the
Speaker 4: road in Seattle, one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Seattle's defense, the style of defense they play, it's it's
Speaker 4: pretty complex. That may play in the broncos favor And
Speaker 4: I want to ask Nick Ferguson about this, and we
Speaker 4: dial them up in the next segment. Is catching a
Speaker 4: defense in their first game? Because Nick loves to talk
Speaker 4: about communication and how that's vital, noting where everybody is.
Speaker 3: But you ever really play together.
Speaker 4: You know, you've been playing a different style of defense
Speaker 4: for a decade under Pete Carroll. Now Michael McDonald comes in,
Speaker 4: you're switching things up. You're not running that cover three
Speaker 4: base anymore. Now you're you're mostly in cover two, Cover four.
Speaker 4: It's a lot closer to what Vic Fangio runs, except
Speaker 4: that there's a lot more disguise and they will bring
Speaker 4: dB blitzes on some of this stuff.
Speaker 3: So it's it's sort of it's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be real fascinating to see who has the edge there.
Speaker 3: You've got a Rooie quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 4: You've got a defense that's still learning the concepts of
Speaker 4: a complex defense and pivoting away from what they had before.
Speaker 4: They've also got to do offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. We'll
Speaker 4: see how Gino and the offense adapts to that. He
Speaker 4: of course was running the show up there at Washington
Speaker 4: for Michael Pennox in college last year.
Speaker 3: So there's that. Any other games you guys want to
Speaker 3: talk about as well.
Speaker 4: Good friend, coach Pagano, They're they're gonna be scaring off
Speaker 4: against Tampa Bay Bucks this weekend, So I already sent
Speaker 4: him a good luck message.
Speaker 6: He actually called me the other day and said he's
Speaker 6: gonna come on the show at some point during the season.
Speaker 6: So I just got to reach out to the Commander's
Speaker 6: pr and we'll get him on the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to make We got to make that happen.
Speaker 4: We've got several texts coming in and we'll get to
Speaker 4: we'll get to all that stuff here in a little
Speaker 4: bit five six, six ninees or whatever you want to ask.
Speaker 4: It's it's an open show tonight. We got a bunch
Speaker 4: of guests, but it is an open show tonight as well.
Speaker 4: Full show on Monday right here on KOA. And then
Speaker 4: of course we've got that programming note. We've got the
Speaker 4: presidential debate, the ABC News presidential debate on Tuesday that
Speaker 4: will be joined in progress here on KOA immediately following
Speaker 4: the Rockies baseball game. Myself, Mayby Connell Ross Kaminsky will
Speaker 4: be doing the the webcast whatever we calla cast KA cast.
Speaker 3: Sure, and you guys will be doing it straight from
Speaker 3: the beginning. Well, yeah, we'll be doing that from the beginning.
Speaker 4: So if you you know, you could have that on
Speaker 4: and see the Rockies on the you know, or watching.
Speaker 3: He listened to the Rockies baseball whatever, however you want
Speaker 3: to do it, you can do both. Are you bringing
Speaker 3: the whiskey in again? Do you want me to?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6: My mother in law was in town a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago, huh, And she's a big bourbon whiskey fan.
Speaker 3: She saw the bottle and thought you were a cut
Speaker 3: of story. Oh my gosh, this is so good over
Speaker 3: on the ocean. This is amazing.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I brought it a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean, so you
Speaker 4: guys could say that was a that's a good it
Speaker 4: was a good voyage too.
Speaker 3: That would have a little assault on the back end
Speaker 3: of the that's what it was called.
Speaker 4: I could not remember the the Jefferson's Ocean stuff.
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's a gimmick, but that's aw it does.
Speaker 3: It makes it hit different.
Speaker 4: So I brought that in for Ross to try, because
Speaker 4: you know, he's a big bourbon guy and you know
Speaker 4: the gimmick and all that.
Speaker 3: I think I've got. Let's see, I gotta I kind
Speaker 3: of bottle the balvet. He's sitting up there, double cask
Speaker 3: fifteen year.
Speaker 4: I think I could bring. I'm trying to think it
Speaker 4: was open there at the house right now that I
Speaker 4: could bring. I gotta tell you, I got a promotional
Speaker 4: bottle of whiskey from this company down there in Austin
Speaker 4: called Still Austin.
Speaker 3: It's this musician group got together.
Speaker 4: They make their own whiskey or whatever, and so maybe
Speaker 4: I'll bring that and we could try that up.
Speaker 6: Hey, anything to get me through a presidential debate, I'll
Speaker 6: try it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I might. I might need to bring two you
Speaker 3: mention it. So five six six nine zeros in text line.
Speaker 4: Nick Ferguson coming up next right here on KOA. We
Speaker 4: got Ryan Michael top of the hour and Curtis Crametree
Speaker 4: bottom of the eight o'clock hour to preview the Seattle Seahawks.

Speaker 4: it's good. Good to your voice.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: It's it's been a minute.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 4: We had a live showed a couple of weeks. It'd
Speaker 4: be good to have a full live show on Monday.
Speaker 4: But you and I gonna be out at Scooters in
Speaker 4: Aurora on Sunday eleven to one doing the Orange Blue Brunch.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Get people qualified for the the The City Chiefs game
Speaker 4: as well. I want to jump right into it because
Speaker 4: there's two games this weekend and I'm losing faith. But
Speaker 4: I'm losing faith, I'm blanke can albright his back. I
Speaker 4: picked the Seahawks and the corn Huskers. I'm a terrible
Speaker 4: human being. Talk me down off this ledge, I can't.
Speaker 1: I would love to talk to you down, but I
Speaker 1: really can't. So to start with the CEEU game, and
Speaker 1: it's always tough playing on a roll, but especially known
Speaker 1: as though Matt Rul still harbor some ill roll fillings
Speaker 1: from last year when I know he made some comments
Speaker 1: before going up the boulder, you are able to pull
Speaker 1: out the game. But it looks different now because the
Speaker 1: Nebraska quarterback. You tell me if I'm losing my mind,
Speaker 1: but they have a number fifteen that looks eerily similar
Speaker 1: to the fifteen thiss in Kansas City, from the haircut
Speaker 1: to the number, to the mannerism, all of those things
Speaker 1: that u bus defense will have to find a way
Speaker 1: to deal with. And last week against North Dakota State
Speaker 1: they had their hands full, so it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what they're able to do. But moving to
Speaker 1: that Seattle game, to me, I am not giving the
Speaker 1: Broncos that particular game. I'm gonna say that it's gonna
Speaker 1: be competitive, and it's gonna be a close game to
Speaker 1: the bitter end. And the reason I'm saying that even
Speaker 1: though some may just say, well the cloud noise in Seattle,
Speaker 1: they may try to dismiss it because usually the way
Speaker 1: you handle it ben you try to attack it with
Speaker 1: hard account, quick count, styling count. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: what's going to count. It's that noise. I was there
Speaker 1: as a player, and I was there even as a
Speaker 1: coach in San Francisco and we were behind the glass.
Speaker 8: And it was still loud. So asking a rookie quarterback
Speaker 8: to deal with.
Speaker 1: That, and then also asking your offensive line to deal
Speaker 1: with that, I'll give you some numbers because I I
Speaker 1: know you like numbers, and I would say, check the
Speaker 1: over and over and under on this particular numbers. What's
Speaker 1: the over under on false starts and holding? And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying.
Speaker 8: That because I think the Broncos offensive line is incapable of.
Speaker 1: Doing their job. But I know how crowd noise impacts you.
Speaker 8: And here's the other thing to.
Speaker 1: Double down on that, once you make your first mistake
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman, it's in the back of your head.
Speaker 1: So Garrett bos and Mike mcgritchy and the Hall offensive line,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do a great job communicating in
Speaker 1: a loud environment.
Speaker 3: I talked about.
Speaker 4: Keys to the game in this one and two things
Speaker 4: came down to defensive backs. I said, the Broncos ground
Speaker 4: and pound of being able to run the football is
Speaker 4: gonna be huge, gonna be critical for that rookie quarterback
Speaker 4: and in that loud environment. But there are two things
Speaker 4: that jump out at me from the d backs. One,
Speaker 4: Riley Moss, he's gonna get targeted early and often because
Speaker 4: he's a fresh face on that defense and everybody knows
Speaker 4: Certann and j Qua McMillan. And Two, anytime you've got
Speaker 4: a defense that's adjusting to a new de that's a
Speaker 4: quartered after doing something for a long time, you sometimes
Speaker 4: get communication issues in that secondary early in the season
Speaker 4: when Michael McDonald run the defense there and they're switching
Speaker 4: from that cover three to a lot more two deep
Speaker 4: and forty covered shells. Do you think that the Broncos
Speaker 4: could potentially get a gift in a defense that might
Speaker 4: not be fully up to where they need to be
Speaker 4: in terms of communication as they learned that new defense.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Man, Look if you watch the game last night
Speaker 1: between Baltimore and Kansas City, I mean there are some
Speaker 1: brown coverages on both sides of the ball, so we
Speaker 1: know game one there's going to be a lot of
Speaker 1: issues as far as communicating, and this is where both
Speaker 1: teams will be able to exploit it. But for me,
Speaker 1: I'm giving an advantage to Seattle because they're playing at home.
Speaker 1: They got their crowd to their favor, and this is
Speaker 1: where your defense beat Seattle. Your crowd could impact you
Speaker 1: from a communication standpoint because when you're at home, your
Speaker 1: crowd is.
Speaker 8: Going to be really loud when.
Speaker 1: The Broncos have the ball. So guys in our communicating
Speaker 1: on coverage in the back end where it's cover two,
Speaker 1: cover three with the middle hole safety for more important
Speaker 1: and man coverage, it can prove problematic. And what we
Speaker 1: saw from both Knicks in the preseason, knowing as though
Speaker 1: his mobility to get it, get himself outside the pocket,
Speaker 1: he can make all the throws. So this is where
Speaker 1: the Broncos will have to take advantage of it. But
Speaker 1: you still kneed your receivers to run Chris routes. But
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me where I need to see
Speaker 1: a change from this year opposed to last year. When
Speaker 1: you are a wide receiver knowing is oh your quarterback
Speaker 1: it's mobile, and both Knicks like Ussel was last year,
Speaker 1: don't just run the date route at twelve yards and go, hey,
Speaker 1: flash five numbers. I'm here. No, your quarterback is.
Speaker 3: Going to move now.
Speaker 1: You either got to come short or you got to
Speaker 1: go vertical to give your quarterback somewhat of an option.
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a hell of a game.
Speaker 1: And you talked about something, I want to make sure
Speaker 1: I bring it up when you talk about the secondary.
Speaker 1: When you look at the Broncos secondary within.
Speaker 8: Itself, you're have to say, okay, well those cases.
Speaker 1: You have PJ. Locket is back there for the first time,
Speaker 1: and Brandon Jones we haven't seen him all preseason, so
Speaker 1: we don't know what we're gonna get. So Sunday is
Speaker 1: gonna be that first action of them communicating. It is
Speaker 1: one thing to do it in practice, but it's another
Speaker 1: thing to do it in the game.
Speaker 4: Well, and that's one of the big things that you
Speaker 4: always harp on, is that communication, your nonverbals, having all
Speaker 4: that down.
Speaker 3: And I just I was looking at.
Speaker 4: This and I'm like, you know, one area of the
Speaker 4: Broncos might catch Seattle slipping is in that area. Because
Speaker 4: you're talking about the defense is played primarily Cover three
Speaker 4: for that's been their identity for the better part of
Speaker 4: the decade when Pete Carroll's there.
Speaker 3: Now you've got Michael McDonald there.
Speaker 4: He runs something a lot closer to what Vic Fangio runs,
Speaker 4: except that they tend to disguise it a lot more
Speaker 4: and they tend to they will blitz defensive backs where
Speaker 4: Vic generally doesn't do that. But it's you know, I
Speaker 4: think for a rookie quarterback, maybe you might get a
Speaker 4: busted coverage or two, and he's going to have to
Speaker 4: take advantage of those opportunities when they present himself.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you definitely want to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: But here's when you look at you know, threeque Morland
Speaker 1: and Devin Widerspool, Like when you look at Seattle's corners,
Speaker 1: man they always had even though Pete Carroll is no
Speaker 1: over there. They want long rangy corners and jack Granted
Speaker 1: they play a mixture of man match coverage and the
Speaker 1: lower cover three coup before. But the thing is going
Speaker 1: to help those guys out in the back end is
Speaker 1: you look at what they what Seattle has up front.
Speaker 8: Jaron Reeve, Lynda Williams who comes home from playing with
Speaker 8: the Giants in.
Speaker 1: The Jets, and Demond Jones. I know most Fancier, But
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos may not like Draymond. But here's what I
Speaker 1: do know. When you play against your former team, I
Speaker 1: mean there may be seventeen games that may be the
Speaker 1: best game that you play. So I know both he
Speaker 1: and No. A fan are looking their chops. But there
Speaker 1: are some will be some opportunities for the Broncos to
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. But once those home run plays
Speaker 1: are there, you have to strike. You have to strike early.
Speaker 1: This is a team and the Broncos they have to
Speaker 1: get off to the fast.
Speaker 8: Start and the biggest part of getting off to.
Speaker 1: The fast art is getting that run game on track.
Speaker 4: Well that's one of the things that I've said was
Speaker 4: the biggest key to getting this thing going. It is
Speaker 4: going to be getting Javonte Williams going getting some explosive
Speaker 4: play out of Joel's McLoughlin, and then Odrick Estimate, you know,
Speaker 4: the rookie who's going to vulture up some of the
Speaker 4: short yardage stuff, making sure that he is getting pushed,
Speaker 4: that offensive line is getting pushed and he's getting pushed
Speaker 4: and getting those situations because this is a schedule offense.
Speaker 3: But it's going to be really a schedule.
Speaker 4: Offense this year as bo nicks as a rookies get
Speaker 4: rid of it, quick guy and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: You have an offense that's set up for him to
Speaker 4: succeed within the confines of it. That said, if you
Speaker 4: do get in a hole, and we've seen a ton
Speaker 4: of penalties through the first two games of the season
Speaker 4: so far, if you get in a hole, this is
Speaker 4: not really the quarterback at this juncture in his career
Speaker 4: to pull you out of those first and fifteen, second
Speaker 4: and fifteen that kind of stuff, those kind of holes.
Speaker 1: No, this is where you know McDonagh for Seattle can
Speaker 1: kind of play around with his defensive scheme. I mean,
Speaker 1: Boe is a very experienced quarterback from the collegiate standpoint,
Speaker 1: and although he has a lot of skills that could
Speaker 1: make him, you know, the quarterback for the Broncos moving forward,
Speaker 1: he is still a bona fide rookie. So playing with
Speaker 1: your coverage, showing him one thing pre snap and forcing
Speaker 1: him to make an adjustment and the receivers to make
Speaker 1: adjustment on the fly, with the crowd noise, this is
Speaker 1: where you want to add difficulties for him. But once again,
Speaker 1: going back to the run game. That is going to
Speaker 1: be really key because when you establish the run game early,
Speaker 1: it takes the pressure off both of your tackles because
Speaker 1: now you establish that they can fire it off and
Speaker 1: hit people in the mouth and they don't have to
Speaker 1: be being in position where they're dirty the law and
Speaker 1: now they're playing catching as far as the edge rush
Speaker 1: from Seattle. But this is what the Broncos have to
Speaker 1: be able to get those five yard types of plays.
Speaker 1: And know, by the way, for the past couple of years,
Speaker 1: we really haven't seen the Broncos those tight ends be
Speaker 1: real effective.
Speaker 8: This is one of.
Speaker 1: Those games where down the middle between the hasses, if
Speaker 1: the Broncos can actually get a couple of passes here
Speaker 1: and there, whether it's Lucas Crow or it is Greg Dolfish,
Speaker 1: it is going to back off that defense and create
Speaker 1: some favorable running lanes for Javonte.
Speaker 4: It's segue perfectly into what I wanted to ask you
Speaker 4: next talk with Nick Ferguson.
Speaker 3: You guys can check us out.
Speaker 4: Sunday morning from eleven am to one pm at the
Speaker 4: Brons and Blue Brunch over there at Scooters in Aurora,
Speaker 4: and then of course full our show on Monday here
Speaker 4: Broncos Country tonight. It segues perfectly to what I wanted
Speaker 4: to talk about because it's the tight end position. Sean
Speaker 4: Payton is a guy who has had four All Pro
Speaker 4: tight end seasons in his coaching career with three different
Speaker 4: tight ends.
Speaker 3: Is Greg Dulsich the hidden X factor in this game?
Speaker 1: I would definitely say, because once again, we really haven't
Speaker 1: really seen one of those massive reception games from Greg
Speaker 1: doses if you watched him in training camp. So to me,
Speaker 1: he looks like he's back and form, but you got
Speaker 1: to keep him healthy. But even for him, for a
Speaker 1: guy who has sustained a lot of injuries, getting get
Speaker 1: him into somewhat of a rhythm and usually you see
Speaker 1: that same things with receivers and running back. But that's
Speaker 1: definitely a guy you.
Speaker 8: Want to make sure that his confidence level.
Speaker 1: Is at an all time high because once again, if
Speaker 1: you're attacking down the middle of the field, it gives
Speaker 1: the defensive guys both the underneath linebackers on the second
Speaker 1: level in the safety is something to contend with. Now
Speaker 1: you can really work those underneath routes and you can
Speaker 1: work those fifty to fifty balls with a guy like
Speaker 1: Cortland Sutton. But establishing you are tight end, there's something
Speaker 1: if you look back at Jimmy Graham, you look at
Speaker 1: Jerry Cook, all guys who have played for Coach Payton
Speaker 1: and that offense down in New Wallance, they've always had
Speaker 1: a guy that can stressed stress the field from a
Speaker 1: vertical standpoint, but also run those cell routes that Now,
Speaker 1: when the quarterback throws ball, now either my guy's gonna
Speaker 1: catch it or no one's gonna catch it. If they
Speaker 1: can find a way to implement and insert great doltage
Speaker 1: in the lineup, that's gonna be another two of them,
Speaker 1: the two box.
Speaker 4: Defensively, I've called the key to the game Riley Moss.
Speaker 4: Circling back around to that he's gonna get peppered with targets.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about a guy who isn't a
Speaker 4: known commodity. You've got known commodities out there in guys
Speaker 4: like Patzertan who got the bag this week. You've got
Speaker 4: Jaquan McMillian the in the slot. You have known commodities there.
Speaker 4: Riley Moss is not the known commodity. You're probably going
Speaker 4: to see Seattle get Smith and Jigba up there on
Speaker 4: on Riley Moss and see if they can take advantage
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 3: Who's got the advantage in that matchup?
Speaker 1: Well, I have to go with Seattle because of everything
Speaker 1: you just said. And that's not to say that I
Speaker 1: believe Riley Moss is incapable.
Speaker 8: Of holding his own.
Speaker 1: But once again, this is first time being a full
Speaker 1: time starter, not at IOWA but in the league. And
Speaker 1: we know DJ Maycalf is a it's a massive guy.
Speaker 1: You figured that maybe PS two is going to shadow him.
Speaker 1: But here's what Yeah is going to do. They're going
Speaker 1: to try to change things up. They're going to get
Speaker 1: their receivers off the line so they can't be pressed.
Speaker 1: They're going to get those guys on the move and
Speaker 1: try to create favorable matchups so Gino Smith can actually
Speaker 1: actually take advantage of it. But once again, it's not
Speaker 1: just winning at the line of scrimmage. You had to
Speaker 1: win down the field. And I played with the guy
Speaker 1: by the name of Champ Bailey, and the one thing
Speaker 1: he would always say, if you want to win down
Speaker 1: the seld, you win at the line of scrimmags. Sir
Speaker 1: Roley can win a lot of those battles no matter
Speaker 1: who he's matched up on at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: It's going to make it easier for him and the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos pass rush as well.
Speaker 4: All Right, Nick, the Broncos win if once they lose.
Speaker 3: If what.
Speaker 1: Well, if they cannot establish the run and there is
Speaker 1: a penalties that we saw last night with the Baltimore
Speaker 1: rapid game, then they lose. Now they win if they
Speaker 1: can establish the run, keep the offense on schedule, establish
Speaker 1: to pass the game early and build some confidence. And
Speaker 1: Greg Dofish and boat Nicks there's a possibility they come out.
Speaker 1: Oh I believe they called Seattle.
Speaker 8: M Rue City with the win.
Speaker 4: Well, looking forward to the game, you can catch that
Speaker 4: game right here on KOA at H I believe kickoffs
Speaker 4: two l five on Sunday right here on KOA. Grant
Speaker 4: has a question for you. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: remember him or not. He's the fellow with the glorious mustache.
Speaker 4: He's got a question for.
Speaker 1: You, sir.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Nick, speaking of facial hair, fans want to know,
Speaker 6: have you been growing out your beer during this hiatus
Speaker 6: or what?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have, but by the time I see Ben
Speaker 1: on Sunday, it would be not non existent by then.
Speaker 3: No, you're getting rid of it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean I rolled in there one time
Speaker 1: shaving it off, so I got to keep the energy going. Man.
Speaker 4: All right, Aaron, all right, we're going to see if
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what though, the Broncos start losing a
Speaker 4: bunch of games, you're growing that thing back out, thinks
Speaker 4: in this team?
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, who made that wager?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Was just sounding like Ryan Edwards.
Speaker 3: You know what? It might have been him. It might
Speaker 3: have been Dan Eddie Vedder. I think you just need
Speaker 3: to join the mustache gang. Ben Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 3: don't know.
