Speaker 1: We can go right out of the Kaway Commons Perl
Speaker 1: hotline and bring on our friend romy Bean.
Speaker 2: Romy How you doing, guys.
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, uh, you know, but not some fires.
Speaker 3: But we're good.
Speaker 2: We're good now, Yes, firefighter romy Bean on the show.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: I know it's good to hear your voice.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously we had to snapoo earlier, but you know how
Speaker 1: it is. We we we are ready to roll. We
Speaker 1: were talking a little bit earlier about uh, just sports
Speaker 1: in Colorado over the over the weekend, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: was a bit of a disappointment.
Speaker 2: We'll start to see you a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, getting sort of shelaxed there by uh the
Speaker 1: Nebraska Cornhuskers, which I know the rivalry runs deep, and
Speaker 1: that's got to feel a little worse for Colorado fans.
Speaker 2: But is it is?
Speaker 1: Is Colorado souring on Coach Prime because the media coverage
Speaker 1: locally feels like it has taken a turn recently. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's just me observing it that way,
Speaker 1: or if that's the way that it's that it's really gone.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting.
Speaker 6: I think there's they say there was a lot that
Speaker 6: went on in the off season that had a lot
Speaker 6: of people.
Speaker 3: Kind of taking one side or another with the media situation.
Speaker 3: But I think the team's under such.
Speaker 5: A heavy microscope and they think what happened in the
Speaker 5: Nebraska game is where.
Speaker 7: Some people started to feel like a lot of the
Speaker 7: issues that were issued last year, you went into the portal,
Speaker 7: you got all these new guys, but they appear to
Speaker 7: be similar issues.
Speaker 3: And I think that is a thing where people now
Speaker 3: I think the verdict still out, have a lot of questions,
Speaker 3: but they're wondering, right, you brought into all these new.
Speaker 5: Alignment a lot of new players, and yet.
Speaker 3: It seems like a lot of the same problems are peasants.
Speaker 3: And that is something that I think is it is
Speaker 3: starting to share to be concerning.
Speaker 5: You look at the offensive line for example, right, the
Speaker 5: offensive line is.
Speaker 3: You brought up in a whole bunch of new guys,
Speaker 3: but it's still not the same offensive line problems.
Speaker 7: And so I think it's all gone on with the
Speaker 7: Deoganders experiment.
Speaker 3: Right, he's trying to do it the way.
Speaker 5: Nobody's done it, but something like an offense of blind
Speaker 5: you got to slow cook him, right, and he's.
Speaker 3: Trying to microwave it and I think people are maybe
Speaker 3: do have some doubts can it work?
Speaker 4: Bro I mean when you look at the fact that
Speaker 4: you know, CEEU for back to back weeks will be
Speaker 4: on the road in Houston territory again. Last week they
Speaker 4: were in Nebraska. This week they're planned against rival CSU.
Speaker 4: What are you expecting in this rivalry game? Because last year,
Speaker 4: remember there was a lot of talking back and forth
Speaker 4: and there was an issue with coach prom and his
Speaker 4: eyewear and his interviews. Do you think some of that
Speaker 4: be from last year has smolder enough to trickle into
Speaker 4: this Saturday's game.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that there is always heat, There
Speaker 5: is always tension with this rivalry. Gene Norvel talked today
Speaker 5: and he certainly tried to play it down.
Speaker 3: He didn't really talk about anything from last year. But
Speaker 3: when you look at the heat.
Speaker 2: Of the rivalry in general, it's always been hot.
Speaker 3: It's always been heated. It's one of those things that, honestly,
Speaker 3: it feels like.
Speaker 5: It's always meant a little more to the rail than
Speaker 5: it has to see you, you know, kind of.
Speaker 7: Historically if you look at it. But I think it's
Speaker 7: kind of a different layer going into this year. First
Speaker 7: of all the first I've been Fort Collins in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: Six, which is so it's going to be wild. But
Speaker 3: there's a lot of anger because there's extra stuff that
Speaker 3: happened last year.
Speaker 7: I think on both sides, and along with many people,
Speaker 7: I will tell you that based on.
Speaker 3: My social media comments, nobody wants you on Tendors to fail.
Speaker 7: More than ramspans. So there is added to.
Speaker 2: The rivalry this year.
Speaker 3: Whether they admit it or not, it is more intense
Speaker 3: and so it's going to be heated. It's going to
Speaker 3: be crazy, and it's I mean, that's how rivalry should
Speaker 3: be though, right they should bring a lot of.
Speaker 5: I don't want to say animosity all that stuff, but
Speaker 5: I do think there's a little bit added in with
Speaker 5: the state.
Speaker 7: Of the program.
Speaker 1: Roby being from CBS, roly how big a letdown was
Speaker 1: the Bonis premiere because there was a lot of hype
Speaker 1: that was surrounding that, and I, you know, I felt
Speaker 1: bad for it because the hype had reached a crescendo
Speaker 1: based on some preseason games which they'd scheme things up
Speaker 1: with the starters against backups from other teams and all.
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I felt bad because I didn't think that Bowl was
Speaker 1: going to get a fair shake based on the amount
Speaker 1: of hype that has come into this thing.
Speaker 2: Now we've seen the first game out there.
Speaker 1: Was it as bad or as big a disappointment as
Speaker 1: people making it out to be or is this just
Speaker 1: a byproduct of the preseason hype?
Speaker 3: You know, it's so funny. I'm not disappointed.
Speaker 7: But what I think it is is you hit the nail.
Speaker 5: On the head.
Speaker 7: The expectations were way too high, Like all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: he's going to run out and he's going to be incredible.
Speaker 5: From the jump, and it didn't matter that he played against.
Speaker 3: Twos and threes and first whatever reason.
Speaker 1: The hype got.
Speaker 3: You know, maybe I think it's just the hope of everything.
Speaker 5: That franspires the last eight years for Broncos fans.
Speaker 3: They got so excited.
Speaker 6: I think that this man is the chosen one.
Speaker 2: That then then for him to come out.
Speaker 5: What I expected to be a rookie performance, among other things,
Speaker 5: in Sea of all places, which is hard for any
Speaker 5: quarterback to play, let alone a rookie.
Speaker 7: You even Baul went into a thing.
Speaker 5: I played in loud places, not like that, right, There
Speaker 5: was so many things that kind of going against him,
Speaker 5: and you look at the other rookie quarterback numbers, right,
Speaker 5: it's not like anybody else.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how the Bear got to win.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's be honest, so one that one of
Speaker 3: the three rookies walks away with the win. None of
Speaker 3: them have great numbers.
Speaker 7: Obviously you can go you know exs and know there's
Speaker 7: lots of ficks. But for me, it wasn't a disappointment.
Speaker 7: I think the fact that he stayed poised, that he
Speaker 7: led that drive towards the end, that the Broncos actually.
Speaker 5: Had a chance to possibly go for the win late
Speaker 5: in the game, after all that he had been through.
Speaker 7: Didn't look rattled.
Speaker 3: You know, you talked to him postgame. I think he's
Speaker 3: got the mental fortitude to deal with the adversity of
Speaker 3: a rookie season. And I think people just need to
Speaker 3: practice patience, which I know that's fellow fans do.
Speaker 7: But but you got for me, I wasn't disappointed.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you mentioned something about you know, bo
Speaker 4: Nicks and probably the hide catching up, but last season
Speaker 4: when Russell.
Speaker 2: Wilson came here, that was kind of the same thing.
Speaker 4: And the Broncos seem to be victimized by that, but
Speaker 4: Russell expected to play here in Denver. This hopefully that
Speaker 4: he does and it's not a cat injury. But fast
Speaker 4: forward into that game just a little. Do you think
Speaker 4: that the crowd or better yet, his former teammates are
Speaker 4: going to be impacted by the fact of him coming back,
Speaker 4: but now in a different uniforms.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think so as much.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's one of those things that
Speaker 6: the players, Yeah, le Broncos want to get the.
Speaker 2: Better end of it.
Speaker 3: The players, especially those are the ones that played with.
Speaker 2: And they want to be the ones that come out
Speaker 2: and win.
Speaker 5: I think that's natural.
Speaker 3: I think that's normal.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's like vitriol or hate for him.
Speaker 7: Do I think the fans are going to boot?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because that's what fans do, you know? And I
Speaker 5: think that that you know, there's anger fans are you know,
Speaker 5: angry at Russ?
Speaker 3: But I think it's sure. I think I think the defense.
Speaker 1: Will be excited.
Speaker 3: Right, you get to go against the guy that you
Speaker 3: practiced against a lot of his tendencies.
Speaker 5: I feel like it'll mean a lot to the defense.
Speaker 5: And I also think I want to win for bo
Speaker 5: right now. That he's this quarterback and Russell was the
Speaker 5: quarterback of old and these are all the things that
Speaker 5: I think are gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But what I will say is I do not think
Speaker 3: the booze will be as loud as they were in
Speaker 3: Seattle two years ago.
Speaker 5: I've never heard somebody get food so loud in my
Speaker 5: entire life.
Speaker 1: That was that was I talk with somebody up in
Speaker 1: Seattle this week and they said, that's sort of the
Speaker 1: animosity for Russell Wilson that Seattle had in that return
Speaker 1: game has sort of faded.
Speaker 2: Is they've watched him not succeed.
Speaker 1: You know, if the one thing if you went out
Speaker 1: there and blew the doors off, and then you're mad
Speaker 1: he left you and you know, jilted you and improved,
Speaker 1: but when you go you go out there and you
Speaker 1: don't play all that well for a couple of seasons,
Speaker 1: there's kind of a soft spot. Now he's one of us,
Speaker 1: you know, he's got that kind of thing. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like Broncos fans will will have that animosity if
Speaker 1: for us, you know, comes out there, if he if
Speaker 1: he plays well, or do you feel like that Bronco
Speaker 1: fans largely don't care they're invested the Bonnicks thing and
Speaker 1: they don't really care anymore.
Speaker 5: I think the fact that you've got bo Nicks and
Speaker 5: there's this hype this fite week one that softens the blow.
Speaker 7: And I think they're all in on bow Nicks and
Speaker 7: so that makes a difference, Right if.
Speaker 5: You're rolling out city, maybe we've got a different situation here.
Speaker 3: So I do think that helps. But I do think,
Speaker 3: you know, fans are fans.
Speaker 7: I think you will get foods.
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna get food all game, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's going to be like it was.
Speaker 5: In Seattle, because at the end of the day, I
Speaker 5: think a lot of Broncos fans don't feel like Brussell.
Speaker 3: Wilson is going to have a resurrection in Pittsburgh either.
Speaker 3: The fact that he had to really battle with Justin
Speaker 3: Fields for the whole off season to win it. It's
Speaker 3: like I think, I think Barbo.
Speaker 7: Fans are okay with it because they were ready to
Speaker 7: move on.
Speaker 4: Well, let's kind of move to a more positive knowing
Speaker 4: what I mean by that. Even though the Broncos did
Speaker 4: not win yesterday, there was some negativity coming into the
Speaker 4: season as far as what would the defense look like
Speaker 4: for a second year in a row.
Speaker 2: On DC's a coordinat Advanced Joseph Me and myself.
Speaker 4: I was impressed with the defense overall after watching the game,
Speaker 4: probably multiple times, Like Vin and I, what's your impression
Speaker 4: on how the defense played in Week one?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I loved how they played, and when
Speaker 7: I went back in Washington.
Speaker 5: Today, especially in the first half, obviously kind of a
Speaker 5: little bit of tail to have there.
Speaker 3: And I know they said, no, it doesn't matter how
Speaker 3: long we were out.
Speaker 7: There for that, and they were out there for a
Speaker 7: long time. But what I liked was that there were
Speaker 7: areas we talked about how to improve, and they have.
Speaker 3: The pass rush looks.
Speaker 2: A lot better.
Speaker 5: That front looks a lot meaner.
Speaker 3: Obviously, Seattle really.
Speaker 7: Gash them on the ground in the second half.
Speaker 3: So it's something that you that you got to go
Speaker 3: from and you got to learn from and get better.
Speaker 5: And we'll see how they progressed it to come out
Speaker 5: that way, especially for a unit that was pretty determined
Speaker 5: to come out and not have a slow go.
Speaker 3: I like, I loved how they started. I liked what
Speaker 3: we saw from Riley Moss across the utan. You know,
Speaker 3: obviously he's going to have a tough test and some
Speaker 3: of the other young guys.
Speaker 7: So I was impressed with how they played.
Speaker 3: The front for me looks a lot better. Is their
Speaker 3: room to grow?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think that first half especially was fantastic.
Speaker 5: And special teams, I mean two years ago, this is
Speaker 5: the worst special teams unit in the league.
Speaker 3: So to do everything that they've been doing, special teams
Speaker 3: continues to get better. I think that's just been huge
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Talking with CBS, is romy being robby shifting gears a
Speaker 1: little bit here the Broncos got Jamal Murray extended what
Speaker 1: do we think of the Nuggets and where they're at
Speaker 1: right now? Do we feel optimistic about them going forward?
Speaker 1: Is the window for Nicola Yokich remains open?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I feel like right now that the
Speaker 3: window is open.
Speaker 5: And with all these things like Jamal's contract, I assume
Speaker 5: you know, Nicole is like, these are the guys I
Speaker 5: want around me, so pay them their money so that
Speaker 5: they have one of the most unstoppable two man games.
Speaker 5: So it makes sense to lock down Jamal Murray.
Speaker 3: I know some fans had mixed emotions on that, but
Speaker 3: the biggest question mark for the Nuggets has been and
Speaker 3: will continue to.
Speaker 5: Be the bench.
Speaker 3: And so now you got Russell Westbrook and what does
Speaker 3: that do?
Speaker 5: I think it definitely gives them a huge playmaker on
Speaker 5: off the bench, which they need, uh oh tremendously, And
Speaker 5: I think it's just going to be I think Christian
Speaker 5: Brown's ready to step up.
Speaker 3: In that role and step in for KCP.
Speaker 6: But that's I guess a little.
Speaker 7: Bit of a question mark as well. But the window
Speaker 7: is very much so wide open, and you know, I
Speaker 7: think that they have all the pieces.
Speaker 3: You just got to arrest them.
Speaker 5: You hope that having Westbrook and there means you're not
Speaker 5: playing your starters as much, because I really think that's
Speaker 5: the most significant thing for the Nuggets to seed and
Speaker 5: you just cannot wear down your starters because we saw
Speaker 5: what happen when you do well. Rommy.
Speaker 4: That's really interesting because it's always with the championship team,
Speaker 4: is the window open or is it closing? And in
Speaker 4: this case for the different Nuggets, but you mentioned a
Speaker 4: very important part right for that window to remain open,
Speaker 4: and that means that you you need quality minutes, quality
Speaker 4: production from your bench, and the Nuggets didn't really do
Speaker 4: that much to help their bitch. Do you think that
Speaker 4: they there's somehow, this massive plan that coach Malone could
Speaker 4: come up with some things scheme wise to get that
Speaker 4: bench to play better this year collectively than they played
Speaker 4: last year.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean simply, but they have to, Nick.
Speaker 5: I mean, this team is very, very Their culture.
Speaker 7: Has always been drafted and development, and they believe in
Speaker 7: their young guys.
Speaker 5: And they believe in Peyton Watson and a lot of
Speaker 5: these young guys.
Speaker 2: To step up.
Speaker 7: But it, you know, it goes back to what you're saying,
Speaker 7: you cannot waste the Colaoka just windows.
Speaker 5: So if you're gonna believe in the young guys that
Speaker 5: they got to step up, and they got to step
Speaker 5: up quick, there's no.
Speaker 3: Way to there's no waiting on them, you know. And
Speaker 3: if not, then you got to go out and get playmakers.
Speaker 5: And so I think that they feel like bringing in
Speaker 5: Westbrook will really help them.
Speaker 3: The way Westbrook can, you know, control the game. And
Speaker 3: I think said he's also a big guy on defense.
Speaker 3: I think they's got Watson take a big step up
Speaker 3: on defense as well.
Speaker 5: Now you've got a lot more power offensively and defensively
Speaker 5: on the bench.
Speaker 3: But they simply have to be at that production. Christian
Speaker 3: Brown has to step up, you know, ready or not.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I think he's ready, but.
Speaker 5: He has to be.
Speaker 7: There's no choice because you can't waste the window of
Speaker 7: an all time player.
Speaker 1: So Romby the last question for me, I think we
Speaker 1: all had this game circle this Sunday and you know,
Speaker 1: Russ's return and all that kind of stuff. Soon Asie
Speaker 1: stied with the Steelers, do we care anymore? Do we
Speaker 1: care if Russell Wilson even plays in this or if
Speaker 1: it's justin field.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like you hope Russell Wilson plays.
Speaker 3: I know the NFL helps Russell Wilson.
Speaker 7: Plays, right, It certainly brings more hype, But big picture,
Speaker 7: do you really care now?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 5: Does it matter? Maybe it matters too Bron the fans
Speaker 5: a little bit to beat Russell Wilson, But I.
Speaker 7: Don't know if it matters all that much.
Speaker 3: You're paying him thirty eight million to sit on the
Speaker 3: bench or to play in the game.
Speaker 6: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I think the fact that you have bone Nicks and
Speaker 3: you have.
Speaker 5: A direction and people are really invested in where this.
Speaker 3: Young team is going to go. But I think I
Speaker 3: can totally matter.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, I think it'd be more fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Russelly certainly more fun.
Speaker 2: Storyline, Well, we mean we always a prettypreciate you joining us.
Speaker 1: Uh, we'll catch you tonight on on CBS and uh
Speaker 1: look forward to the next chance we get to talk
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 5: Thank you guys for having me. I'm so sorry about earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to come out in a sporty pickup
Speaker 1: telling you you can play pickup ball out here, but
Speaker 1: we'll be being CBS.
Speaker 2: We always love having her on the show.
