Speaker 1: Run right out to the KA Commas for the hotline
Speaker 1: and bring on a good friend from CBS, Roby Bean Romey.
Speaker 1: How you doing.
Speaker 2: I am doing great.
Speaker 3: You guys got you know, another win.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, let's let's go.
Speaker 1: The only streak we have to worry about now is
Speaker 1: the wind streak. Is Nick Ferguson so succinctly put it earlier,
Speaker 1: I thought it was all around a pretty good weekend
Speaker 1: for Dever Broncos fans. I thought the uniforms were hit.
Speaker 1: I thought the stadium, you know, kind of retro updates
Speaker 1: were a hit. And then you know, he got out
Speaker 1: there on the field and he didn't look like it
Speaker 1: from the from the starting snap, But once passer Tan
Speaker 1: got that one hundred yard pick six, the Broncos were
Speaker 1: off to the races.
Speaker 3: Oh you know, you know, as they say, it's not
Speaker 3: how you start, how you finished.
Speaker 4: But truly, like we talk about all the time in sports,
Speaker 4: how the momentum, the game changing plays, and sometimes a
Speaker 4: lot of times in games there's like a couple of moments.
Speaker 3: But that was the moment of the game.
Speaker 5: I mean, patter Tan for all intents and purposes one
Speaker 5: that game for.
Speaker 3: The Denver Broncos and the players.
Speaker 5: You know all said it in the locker room, both
Speaker 5: on offense and on defense, and it's it's a testament.
Speaker 2: To the impact player kind of players as that pat is.
Speaker 5: That was going off the rails quickly right and nothing
Speaker 5: You're like, oh no, and you just.
Speaker 2: Kind of kept saying, man, the defense has got to
Speaker 2: make a big play. And they came up as a
Speaker 2: big play.
Speaker 3: And I feel like.
Speaker 2: We're starting to sound make a broken record, but it's
Speaker 2: becoming a thing where we say, last year, two years ago,
Speaker 2: the Broncos wouldn't have come up with that play. They
Speaker 2: wouldn't have found.
Speaker 5: A way to win. And I think we're really seeing
Speaker 5: something really start to build here right where they they
Speaker 5: made that play and then they took hold of the
Speaker 5: game and they took charge.
Speaker 2: Of it after that and they didn't let it go.
Speaker 2: And that's significant when you look in like the growth right.
Speaker 5: Of a team and where they can go.
Speaker 6: Wells, speaking of growth, like Davonte Williams led all Broncos
Speaker 6: receivers in receptions yesterday. Is this more about the evolution
Speaker 6: of the Broncos office or more about the evolution of
Speaker 6: Javonte Williams.
Speaker 5: You know, I think the best part about Javonte Williams
Speaker 5: was that game looked like, you know, it was vintage
Speaker 5: of vintage day, vintage uniforms, vintage.
Speaker 2: Alumni there everybody, and it was.
Speaker 5: Like vintage Davante Williams.
Speaker 2: I think that's honestly the best he's looked since his surgery,
Speaker 2: where he was really pushing the pile and he was
Speaker 2: breaking those tackles, and we just haven't seen that.
Speaker 5: Kind of a game since he had a surgery. So
Speaker 5: I think that was significant for Javonte Williams in a
Speaker 5: big way, and also.
Speaker 2: Significant for the Broncos offense because I think the big
Speaker 2: plan was to have Javonte kind of be that big
Speaker 2: cruising back, and there were doubts. As one of those
Speaker 2: people that was definitely had my doubts after the first
Speaker 2: few weeks of the season of.
Speaker 5: Can they do this?
Speaker 2: So I think it is really big for.
Speaker 5: This offense that both can rely on Javonte now both
Speaker 5: in the past and the run game to make those
Speaker 5: cruising tackles, to push the pile like he was doing,
Speaker 5: because we really haven't seen that until now.
Speaker 2: I think it was significant for him, significant for the offense.
Speaker 1: Speaking of relying on you know, a guy that Poe
Speaker 1: was able to rely on back in college was Troy Franklin. However,
Speaker 1: in that game, another drop from Troy Franklin, a guy
Speaker 1: who's you know, sort of struggled with that. Nick says
Speaker 1: it's a confidence thing, and I'm not disagreeing with that
Speaker 1: by any stretch, but it feels to me like we're
Speaker 1: wasting reps on Troy Franklin rather than using our most
Speaker 1: explosive weapon, Marvin Mims, in the way that we could.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that and are you disappointed
Speaker 1: we don't see more of Marvin Mims on the field? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, two parter, Let's start with Troy Franklin. I think
Speaker 2: I think it is a confidence thing and it's only
Speaker 2: getting worse. And I know he's both.
Speaker 3: Teammates, and we're being honest.
Speaker 2: I think the reason why he's probably getting reps.
Speaker 3: Is because of that Oregon connection.
Speaker 2: I'm not so sure Troy sees the field as much
Speaker 2: as he does if he didn't have this, if he
Speaker 2: wasn't both TV right, I think that the kind of relying.
Speaker 5: On that and there is when you looked at that play,
Speaker 5: there's a reason why they got him.
Speaker 2: I mean he's got like eight yards separation so that
Speaker 2: he can make the catch.
Speaker 5: The potential there, but like you said, the potential, it's
Speaker 5: also proven with Marvin Min.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why Marvin, who is a veteran at
Speaker 2: this point, is not getting more reps. I'm totally with you.
Speaker 5: I have been campaigning for more Marvin Min because every
Speaker 5: time he gets out there seems to make a really
Speaker 5: big play.
Speaker 2: And if we're looking for a seazer, I don't know
Speaker 2: why we're not given that Tomorrov as Troy Franklin develops
Speaker 2: more and maybe comes in when he's more ready, because
Speaker 2: Marvin Ben certainly seems like the more ready guy and
Speaker 2: he's going to get that separation as well. I completely
Speaker 2: agree with you.
Speaker 6: Well, we look at the Broncos defense. Another huge game
Speaker 6: for them, so I want to tip my cap to
Speaker 6: Vance Joseph. But let's talk about the depth of this team.
Speaker 6: So Alex Singleton is injured in the Tampa game. He
Speaker 6: plays that injury, but who most look at Justice Sernard
Speaker 6: as just being primarily a special teams guy. He's the
Speaker 6: guy in an off season that almost left Broncos and
Speaker 6: signed with someone else, but opted to come back. What
Speaker 6: are you liking about Justice Arnard and how he's feeling
Speaker 6: it in that middle linebacker position.
Speaker 2: I mean, and foremost, it's just really awesome when you
Speaker 2: see a guy get an opportunity, a guy like you said,
Speaker 2: has been relegated to a special teamers, and that's kind
Speaker 2: of what you thought he'd always be to get this
Speaker 2: opportunity and to step into that role, to be ready
Speaker 2: for it and to do a fantastic job.
Speaker 4: I mean in the.
Speaker 2: Jets game where the first play right, his first stab
Speaker 2: at it and he goes with Zack Aaron Rodgers, which
Speaker 2: is awesome and obviously huge confidence for him. But I
Speaker 2: just think that's really cool, like first and foremost to
Speaker 2: put that out there, and it's awesome to see him
Speaker 2: making the most of an opportunity. But he's also proving
Speaker 2: that he's totally ready.
Speaker 3: To Jets on.
Speaker 2: This defense is something that we're not talking as much about,
Speaker 2: but I would see thing goes out, who is arguably
Speaker 2: the heart and soul of that team, right and this
Speaker 2: it'll miss the steps, the leading tackler, they don't miss
Speaker 2: the steps, they're not comes in and he's absolutely ready
Speaker 2: and then speaks to him and being ready for his moment.
Speaker 2: Ell speaks to Vance Joseph at his ability to put
Speaker 2: all of these guys in positions at succeed, I mean,
Speaker 2: guests everything on one of these guys. They talk about
Speaker 2: how much fun it is playing Vja's defense because he
Speaker 2: really gives everyone opportunity. He puts them all in the
Speaker 2: right position. It's really cool to see. And even the
Speaker 2: guys in the back, the young guys, everybody has really
Speaker 2: been stepping up and elevating their game. And when there's
Speaker 2: been some injuries that you thought, Okay, this is going
Speaker 2: to be a significant woe, and yet they haven't. They
Speaker 2: haven't give to be I know.
Speaker 3: I've just said that like four times, but it really is.
Speaker 2: Impressed us to see what.
Speaker 3: We've got going on with the depth on the defense.
Speaker 1: Talk about Roby being from CBS Romeo, I want a
Speaker 1: dovetail off of that because I you know, talk to
Speaker 1: some people around the league and they expect Vance Joseph
Speaker 1: get head coach. He interviews this cycle. It could be
Speaker 1: a better sweet thing. On the one hand, are we
Speaker 1: hoping that Advance gets a head coach job, because well,
Speaker 1: you root for people to succeed around here, but also
Speaker 1: the Broncos give two third round compensatory draft picks. If
Speaker 1: you were to get given a head coaching job and
Speaker 1: then b the next man up philosophy here, you would
Speaker 1: expect Jim Leonard would be the next defensive coordinator. Do
Speaker 1: you think that that may take away from the Broncos
Speaker 1: defense long term? So do we are we? Are we
Speaker 1: hoping that Advance gets a head coaching job of so season?
Speaker 2: Are we not hoping for that? I feel like here
Speaker 2: a mad person if you're like, I hope you don't
Speaker 2: get that job.
Speaker 5: But I feel like Vance has proven that he is
Speaker 5: just he's an excellent defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things he really he really
Speaker 2: relates to his players. You can do how much they
Speaker 2: love playing for him. You can see how much they
Speaker 2: just they enjoy it. He puts them all in good positions.
Speaker 2: He dials up all these you know, exotic looks that
Speaker 2: they love, they love playing, they love doing. You hope
Speaker 2: that right hypool comes in they pick up where they
Speaker 2: left off, and that often happens. So I think it's
Speaker 2: one of those things that it would be bittersweet though,
Speaker 2: because he's just doing such a good job with this team.
Speaker 2: And you just never know what you're going to get next.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think it would be
Speaker 2: great for Vance because I think we can all agree
Speaker 2: that his first time, his first head coaching job, he
Speaker 2: didn't get a fair shake, right, We kind of all
Speaker 2: do that there was a lot of dysfunction going on.
Speaker 2: I think he didn't have a lot of say and
Speaker 2: who was drafted during his tenure as head coach. I
Speaker 2: just don't think he really got a fair shake to
Speaker 2: really really give it as off as a head coach,
Speaker 2: and so I think it would be great to see
Speaker 2: him get to try again.
Speaker 5: And I think he learned a.
Speaker 2: Lot from that experience, the older, wiser, blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 7: So I think it would be great to see him
Speaker 7: take that second opportunity, take what he learned, and transform
Speaker 7: that to be a really successful head coach, because he
Speaker 7: certainly deserves it. He's a leader of men, as they say,
Speaker 7: I believe that was the line the kids getting used
Speaker 7: when they.
Speaker 2: Hired what he certainly is. So I'm pulling for him,
Speaker 2: you know. I hope he gets that opportunity, and I
Speaker 2: hope he's successful because it's the good guys.
Speaker 7: He's good.
Speaker 2: The best sive coordinator and he deserves it.
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about something that is one of the
Speaker 6: more talked about things that is not the PS two
Speaker 6: pick six, but the altercation or entanglement or discussion that
Speaker 6: took place between bow Knicks and Sean Payton. We all
Speaker 6: saw it. What were your immediate thoughts after you took
Speaker 6: a look at it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I love it, I love it, Give me it over
Speaker 2: and over again.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of reasons I love this. So I
Speaker 3: think that.
Speaker 2: One Chempayne likes this. I think he definitely absolutely likes it.
Speaker 3: Sean Payne, as we know, as a tough coach, he's
Speaker 3: gonna push and push and pushes players, and frankly, there's
Speaker 3: just not a lot of guys that have the authority
Speaker 3: to push back and for bone Nicks as a rookie
Speaker 3: to be like, no, man, I'm pushing back.
Speaker 2: I don't like whatever happened here.
Speaker 3: You love that.
Speaker 2: As a player, you gotta love that this Bonis is
Speaker 2: making it known that this is his team and he
Speaker 2: wants his team to succeed, that there's something he doesn't
Speaker 2: agree with. Just because he's a rookie, He's not gonna
Speaker 2: sit back. This shows why he's heem voted him captain.
Speaker 2: I think he loves to see it.
Speaker 5: I think in general, probably in that building guys, there's
Speaker 5: not a lot of people that.
Speaker 2: Push back on Chom Paytin. Right the a rookie's doing
Speaker 2: it is really impressive, and I think it speaks the
Speaker 2: goo nixt. I think talking to a lot of the
Speaker 2: guys in the locker room last night, they loved it.
Speaker 2: They all said, he that's a CHRISTI competitor. He's so
Speaker 2: confident and that's really important, right to have their stocks
Speaker 2: behind a guy that they truly believe in that he's
Speaker 2: their captain for a reason. So I think great, and
Speaker 2: I think that if there are things that are not
Speaker 2: working in this offense, you now have the confidence that
Speaker 2: both's going to be local enough to be like I
Speaker 2: don't like that. Does that mean chem Payton's gonna change it?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but maybe the evolution is both starts
Speaker 3: out of the league a little bit more as a
Speaker 3: lot of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I love what I saw.
Speaker 3: I love that he didn't care and that he's not
Speaker 3: a cratish.
Speaker 2: Once, and I think that's really important for the quarterback
Speaker 2: dynamic when Tom Hayton's your head.
Speaker 3: Coach, right.
Speaker 4: We all know.
Speaker 2: Obviously Drew Brees is that way we all saw last
Speaker 2: year him just chewing out Russ, and.
Speaker 5: Russ didn't say anything, and obviously there's a lot more
Speaker 5: that went into into that relationship.
Speaker 2: But to see this and to see a guy.
Speaker 3: That pushes back, I think it's fantastic.
Speaker 2: And I think that fans and players alike have got
Speaker 2: in love with the thaw. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: Talking with CBS as romy Bean, it was kind of
Speaker 1: a stark juxtaposition to what happened last year.
Speaker 2: And in Detroit.
Speaker 1: Want to shift gears here a little bit. We get
Speaker 1: the Nuggets and av seasons or getting ready to start.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of preseason stuff going on right now,
Speaker 1: the new look Nuggets. What have you? What have you
Speaker 1: thought so far?
Speaker 5: You know, what I think is so interesting about the
Speaker 5: Nuggets is that this the national narrative is Nuggets got worse,
Speaker 5: and primarily just because they lost GCP.
Speaker 3: But I'm a little bit confused what everybody's talking about,
Speaker 3: because I.
Speaker 2: Don't think the Nuggets got I do think Christian Brown
Speaker 2: is ready for this opportunity. You do, miss KCP, you
Speaker 2: wish they could have kept KCP, but I think Christian
Speaker 2: Brown is ready and he's a really fierce defender. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna lose a step on.
Speaker 5: Defense with Christian Brown in that role and bringing in
Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook. I like a lot of people kind of
Speaker 5: said this, this is a gamble, right, this is either.
Speaker 2: Are really going to pay off for It's not, but
Speaker 2: it's early days. But I love the.
Speaker 5: Tenacity and the ferocity and the competitiveness that he needs.
Speaker 4: I think one thing about the Nuggets that makes them
Speaker 4: so great.
Speaker 3: It's like kind of a mellow locker room in many ways.
Speaker 2: I think he brings a totally different energy that they
Speaker 2: don't have.
Speaker 5: And I think it's going to be really, really great.
Speaker 3: And so I feel good about it. I think that
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see the dynamic of how.
Speaker 5: They're kind of rotating Russ and kind of you know,
Speaker 5: staggering him.
Speaker 2: With Yo kitchen. He even said he's here to push
Speaker 2: them all. I think that's going to be great. So
Speaker 2: I think right now I feel good about the Nuggets.
Speaker 2: And again, and I know we say this all the time,
Speaker 2: but it's simple and true. When Nicola Jokich is on
Speaker 2: the court, do you have a chance always to.
Speaker 3: Win because he's.
Speaker 2: Just the best player on the planet. I love the
Speaker 2: means of him, like partying all summer, and then he
Speaker 2: comes in his first preseason game he casually dropped like
Speaker 2: what was it, twenty six eighteen and something.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was, but it's just great.
Speaker 2: So I feel good about where they're going I think they're.
Speaker 3: Going to be really hungry again.
Speaker 2: Now it's fatigued, and again it comes down to how
Speaker 2: do you manage the players?
Speaker 3: Because that was the biggest thing last year.
Speaker 2: It will be the biggest thing again. Can the bench
Speaker 2: outside of left book really step up? And that's going
Speaker 2: to be the big question rather you know, Peyton Watson,
Speaker 2: But time will help if these young kids already.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, as far as managing is concerned, you
Speaker 6: have Cavin Booth who has one clear vision and coach
Speaker 6: Malone was his clear vision. And for me, when I
Speaker 6: look at him's like, well, what's one of these guys
Speaker 6: are going to win at the end of the day,
Speaker 6: because Nikola Jokic his window is shrinking by the year
Speaker 6: and wanting to keep that window open. When you look
Speaker 6: at both Kevin Booth and coach Malone and how they
Speaker 6: look at the game of basketball and how they approach it.
Speaker 6: Who do you think is probably going to win at
Speaker 6: the end of the day and get their way as
Speaker 6: far as incorporating their philosophy within a Nuggets organization.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's Calvin mooseuse at the end of
Speaker 5: the day, Calvin Moose controls that of Michael alone.
Speaker 1: Had the job or not.
Speaker 2: But I also think that I would say on.
Speaker 3: That team, no, A lot of that team and a
Speaker 3: lot of discussion that goes on with that team is
Speaker 3: what Nikoliokis wants. And Michael Malone is there because Nikoliokich
Speaker 3: wants him to be his side coach.
Speaker 2: So they're I guess they're both pretty pretty secure. But
Speaker 2: I do think that Malone's very open right at the
Speaker 2: end of last season about realizing that he overworked his players.
Speaker 3: So now we see.
Speaker 2: Does he really listen to that?
Speaker 3: And I do think there will be pressure on him.
Speaker 2: I think Calvin Booth is not afraid the book pressure
Speaker 2: on him and to demand that, you know, things look
Speaker 2: a little different, and so I think there will be
Speaker 2: a concerted effort because everybody is fully aware that if
Speaker 2: you waste fully Yokichen yours, and that's just an abject failure.
Speaker 2: You just simply.
Speaker 4: Cannot do that.
Speaker 2: And I think Malone knows that, and Calvin Booth knows that,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna do whatever they can.
Speaker 5: They look at last year and realize maybe one got
Speaker 5: away last year.
Speaker 2: I think it was a good moment for everybody to
Speaker 2: be like we we simply can't waste the opportunity because
Speaker 2: when is gone, he's gone and it will never be recaptured.
Speaker 1: Robbi Bean from CBS wore we always appreciate it, Robbie,
Speaker 1: when you get a chance.
Speaker 3: To join us, Oh guys, it's always a tree.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll be talking about more wins.
Speaker 1: Yes after the Chargers game this weekend, fully expected. Look
Speaker 1: forward to hearing from you.
Speaker 2: Then, don't work, don't forget to wear your kaki pans
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I will, I will wear I'm gonna work.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, you can't wait.
Speaker 6: Wait, don't tell me you got a khaki suit.
Speaker 2: I mean I could find one between bromy just for you.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Khaki suit
