WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We go right after Kway Common Spirit Health Hotline to

2
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>bring on our guy, Ryan Harris.

3
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, how you doing this evening?

4
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Hellas doing great? Thanks for having me.

5
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely man, I always love having you on. We got

6
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>a tough game coming up here against a really injured

7
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Chargers team. But you look at the Chargers how they

8
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>played this year. They've been physical, They run the ball

9
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>incredibly well.

10
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>JK.

11
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Dobbins averaged in an absurd six yards per carry. As

12
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>we look at this, the Bronco has got a couple

13
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of injuries along that offensive line. It's set a position

14
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>at the right tackle position going into this division game.

15
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about about the lines for both

16
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>these teams?

17
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think the big challenge is going to be

18
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 3>on the Broncos defensive line. No question. The Broncos defense

19
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 3>has been able to get after the pass and being

20
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 3>able to defend against it with the secondary. But you

21
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 3>are going to get a consistent dose of run and JK.

22
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Dobbins has that high average because they will run the

23
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 3>ball thirty five thirty times a game and not a

24
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of players want to sit in there. Berg will

25
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 3>tell you not a lot of defenders want to sit

26
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and make so That's what the challenge is for the

27
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Broncos defensively, can they stop the run? And if I'm

28
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>the vance Joseph, now, I'm looking at this as a

29
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 3>huge opportunity to make up for last year's you know,

30
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 3>big loss against Miami by shutting down the Chargers and

31
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 3>getting a second consecutive divisional win based on the strength

32
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 3>of your defense and helping and helping your while you're off.

33
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we lost Ryan there. We'll see if we

34
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>can't get that connection back. But yeah, I mean he

35
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>was making a point there for one of the big things.

36
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>One of the one of the tough things about facing

37
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 1>a physical, smash mouth run team like.

38
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>That is having to be in there every play for

39
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 2>the run.

40
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, the one thing you want to do from a

41
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>defensive standpoint is make sure that everyone is on the

42
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 4>same page. And I am of a friend of mine

43
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 4>that defenders need to know where the run fits need

44
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 4>to be. You can figure out the past, though, but

45
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 4>if you can't fit up on the.

46
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Run even more, we saw that against Man. I think

47
00:01:59.079 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>we got Ryan back.

48
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Now, Ryan You're there, I'm here, you got me there, Yeah.

49
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, No no worries at all, Man, you were cut

50
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>off there or towards the end of your answer, do

51
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to finish that one out?

52
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm just saying that's you know, that defense, the

53
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>challenges on the defense to stop the run and really

54
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 3>put themselves on the map as one of the best

55
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 3>defenses in the league.

56
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's talk about the offensive line, because you have

57
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Luke Wattenberg who is injured, in Pochwski who has an

58
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 4>injury himself. As a guy that played on the offensive line,

59
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 4>how difficult is it to go into a game like

60
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 4>this with this magnitude. It's a divisional game we're talking about.

61
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 4>You're playing against a Chargers defensive line that's been playing

62
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 4>pretty well thus far this season.

63
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, don't play if you want to hide, that's the

64
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 3>first part, right, I mean, if you if you are

65
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 3>not looking for this opportunity, then you got the wrong

66
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 3>guys on your offensive line. So it's not good to

67
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>have injuries. I think Alex kel played fantastic while he

68
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 3>was in but that means that somebody else is gonna

69
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>get a opportun right. I Mean, we won the Super

70
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 3>Bowl and Matt Parodis hadn't started a game yet and

71
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 3>then ended up starting nineteen in a row and win

72
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 3>the Super Bowl. So offensive line is the easiest place

73
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 3>to make good players great if you have technique taught

74
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>at a consistent level. And so that's Zach Street's gonna

75
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>have his work cut out for him this week. And

76
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 3>if the players are being pros, they're going to ask questions.

77
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 3>That's the biggest thing any one of us can do

78
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>in a situation where we have opportunity is ask questions

79
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 3>to make sure you know it inside and out. Nobody's

80
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna get mad at you for trying to find out

81
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 3>as much information as you can so you can play,

82
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 3>or you can act, or you can do as fast

83
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 3>as you can to complete the objective.

84
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Broncos have started the season three and two. How surprised

85
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>are you by that?

86
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>And as you look ahead to the second quarter of

87
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the season, you don't want to overlook anybody, but this

88
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>thing is setting up pretty nice for the Broncos to

89
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>get to the halfway mark with a decent chance at

90
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>a winning record or better.

91
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm not surprised because I got to see bow

92
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 3>Knicks play last year at Oregon when USC was there,

93
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>and I saw he had all the talent, and I

94
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 3>know that you know coach Peyton has an offensive mind.

95
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I've seen that, that skill, that play calling. So it's

96
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 3>not as surprising, but surprising as they won two games

97
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>up to spending two weeks with each other. I mean,

98
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you guys could do that on

99
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 3>the show, right, if you had to lock yourselves away

100
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 3>for two weeks and then get together and do a

101
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 3>good show, you might be tired of each other as

102
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 3>they're up there in Virginia. But they put it together

103
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>and they're learning that to win, you have to play

104
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 3>together and for each other. And that's not a surprise

105
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 3>because the game of football teaches you to do that.

106
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 4>As a guy who is the number one receiver for

107
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 4>the Broncos and as Courtland said, we haven't really seen

108
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 4>Courtland involved in the offense that much. What do you

109
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 4>think is the reason as to want it that hasn't happened.

110
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 3>We'll say it again one more time. Sorry you talked

111
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 3>broke up there.

112
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Brother Corland sums supposed to be the number one wide

113
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 4>receiving for the Denver Broncos and we haven't really seen

114
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 4>him involved than the Broncos offense. Why do you think

115
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.040
<v Speaker 4>that is the case? And what do you think they

116
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 4>should do to change that.

117
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Their bracket coveraging him because they know that's where Bonis

118
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 3>wants to go with the football anytime he doesn't know

119
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 3>what he's looking at. And offensively, you got to be

120
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 3>prepared for that. And Josh Reynolds has to step up.

121
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 3>He did last week. Let's see it again. You know,

122
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>you got to find some production at the tight end position.

123
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>It has to happen for an offense. You can't shoot

124
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 3>yourself in the foot like that, and you got to

125
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>convert on third down. But Corland Sutton, you know, he

126
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 3>has turned a corner this year. His routes, his want to,

127
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 3>his willingness, all of the things that you want your

128
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 3>receiver to be he has. He just doesn't have anybody

129
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 3>anywhere else on the field that's a pass catching threat

130
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 3>that's consistent enough to get him to at least get

131
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>man coverage thirty percent of the time.

132
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Well to that end, and I completely agree with you.

133
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>In the tight end position, why are we not using

134
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>our perhaps most explosive athlete in Marvin Mims. More, We've

135
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>got Troy Franklin out there, guy who struggled a little

136
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>bit in the he sees it in Campbell with beating

137
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>the press in with you know, I with drops. So

138
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>we saw the drop of a well placed Bonix pass

139
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 1>a deep ball in the Raiders game. But Marvin Mims,

140
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 1>who is I don't think it's even debatable that he's

141
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 1>our most explosive athlete, can't find the field well.

142
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, I think it's a situation where you

143
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>have a very calm demeanor, soft spoken player, and sometimes

144
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>in an environment like the NFL, that's seen as maybe

145
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 3>disinterested board or with an attitude. But you know, Mims

146
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 3>is an amazing person in addition to being a great

147
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 3>player and with speed, but I think his demeanor makes

148
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 3>it so the coaches don't trust trust him as much

149
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 3>or know what to do with them in the same time,

150
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 3>So it's an opportunity for him to show up every

151
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 3>day at the right mindset and and show the coaches

152
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 3>that he wants to be there. And I think his

153
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 3>time's coming. You know, he's a little bit more straight

154
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 3>line speed than you need in an offense, but I

155
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 3>think he's willing to do the work to improve well.

156
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 4>Speaking of the guy who is stepping up to and

157
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 4>living up to the Bill, Riley Moss now Ben has

158
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 4>coined the difference a name for Roley Moss, and Ben,

159
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 4>you call.

160
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 2>You got ps two and next Moss three sixty.

161
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 4>So watching Riley come of age, what have you thought

162
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 4>about his style the play up to this point.

163
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I love that Riley Moss made the improvement week

164
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 3>after week, right, I mean the two weeks ago he's

165
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 3>against the Jets, he gives up the pass interference late

166
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 3>in the game, and then the very next week turns

167
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 3>around and gets a pick on the same play. Right,

168
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 3>So that willingness to learn, I mean, that's something that

169
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 3>you need from a corner. Yeah.

170
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

171
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 3>You know.

172
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the other things about this defense that's really

173
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuck with me as we watched this thing

174
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.439
<v Speaker 1>early in the season, like how well they're playing. But

175
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you have one first round pick and the starters that's

176
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 1>Patser ten. You've got six guys that are Day three

177
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>or undrafted picks that are out there starting on this

178
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>defense right now, and that.

179
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Really speaks to me. It talks a lot.

180
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>About first of all, the Broncos scouting staff and how

181
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>they're able to evaluate players, and then second of all,

182
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>how these players are making the most of opportunity.

183
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, and especially making the most of playing with Patrick Shirtam.

184
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean. He allows you to put

185
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 3>a baseball shift on against the offense. And I mean

186
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 3>to think that justin Sanad is starting at linebacker and

187
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 3>they really haven't skipped the beat is something that only

188
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 3>anybody expects to have happened. But I think there's a

189
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.519
<v Speaker 3>I think to your point, Ben, I think the GMS

190
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 3>wanted to get guys in there who are willing to

191
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 3>study the game and who want to learn the game.

192
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 3>You can have talented, talented players who do not want

193
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.159
<v Speaker 3>to pay attention to x's and o's, and it might

194
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 3>work for them, but you get five to six hack

195
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 3>eleven guys that are willing to put in that work,

196
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 3>you win many games, and not only that, you improve

197
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.559
<v Speaker 3>while winning, which is a sign of great players and

198
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>great character in those players. Right.

199
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 4>Is there something schematically that you would like to see

200
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 4>the Broncos explore on Sunday that we haven't seen thus far?

201
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>Berg. I want them to use the tight end. I

202
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.000
<v Speaker 3>want to put that defense in a grinder. I want

203
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 3>two tight ends, and I want to put them in

204
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>a wing formation on the week side twice. You know

205
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 3>what I mean? I just you have to have not

206
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 3>only do you have to have the tight ends to

207
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 3>do it, but you need your offense to know how

208
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 3>confident they can be when you have that tight end position,

209
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 3>not just blocking on all, especially against the blitz, which

210
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that's coming. For Bonick, he faked a little bit of blitz.

211
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>But with the Vikings and Vance Joseph's defense doing so

212
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>well in blitzing, I mean, these teams, the defenses want

213
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 3>to be talked about too, So the blitzer are coming

214
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>and I'd love to see something. I'd love to see

215
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 3>a six yard pass over the middle on second to eight,

216
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, and then run it for

217
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 3>a first down and on third down. So that's the

218
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of place that the players have to be willing

219
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 3>to work in. And to be honest, there's thirty percent

220
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 3>of the NFL teams this year they don't got rosters

221
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 3>that are willing to grind it out like that. And

222
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 3>that's what you need to do. If you're the Broncos,

223
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 3>you need to teach the young players and inexperienced players

224
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 3>on your team how hard it is to work and

225
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.480
<v Speaker 3>win every single week. And I think they have a

226
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 3>great They're on the right path and they're doing things

227
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 3>the right way, and they're and they're being patient and

228
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.440
<v Speaker 3>creating urgency at the same time.

229
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you mentioned the Broncos and the Vikings, you know,

230
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.919
<v Speaker 1>with the high blitz numbers, and they are Is that

231
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 1>the modern is that.

232
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>The new blueprint?

233
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>We've seen the league basically pivot to the Vic Fangio defense,

234
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 1>which is, you know, that tight front and quarters match

235
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on the back end, and it's dropping everybody back and

236
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 1>hoping your pressure gets home with three or four.

237
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>And now we're.

238
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Seeing success with guys like Vance Joseph and Brian Flores

239
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.919
<v Speaker 1>who are blitzing on Dvance's case forty plus percent of

240
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the time, putting the corners on an island playing center

241
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>field back. There is the league pivoting back to perhaps

242
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the Wade Phillips style of defense.

243
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's how bad quarterbacks are right now in the NFL.

244
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, let's be clear. You can blitz your face

245
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.240
<v Speaker 3>off against Tom Brady and you'll lose by fifty. Right,

246
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 3>do you blitz your face off against Patrick Mahomes, You're

247
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 3>gonna lose by fifty. You do it to Josh Allen,

248
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna lose by fifty so I think that is

249
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 3>I think what people miss is it's great for defenses,

250
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 3>right because it forces offenses to communicate and to study

251
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 3>and to pay attention to meetings, and if you don't

252
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 3>do that, you're gonna get beat, especially in key moments.

253
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>But it's also indicative of the fact that there are

254
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 3>about five quarterbacks in the NFL that can change the

255
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 3>play at the line of scrimmage and or change a

256
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 3>route to get the guy open against the blitz. So

257
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 3>defenses are having their heyday because they don't have the

258
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 3>same quality across the board as maybe ten years ago

259
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 3>or even five years ago in the NFL.

260
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 4>If you're are offensive lineman on the Broncos roster right now,

261
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 4>what would be your words to bow Knick's pro or coon?

262
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 4>What would you say to him with him being your

263
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 4>starting quarterback?

264
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 3>I love the social media video, Let's make one in January.

265
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'd say to him, you know, And I

266
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 3>think that it's so easy, and for you've been there too.

267
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's so hard to explain to people when

268
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>you are in the NFL and you're winning games, and

269
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 3>you win your first game at home in front of fans,

270
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 3>you're on a little streak and go to the I mean,

271
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 3>it's so hard to pay attention to the bigger goal

272
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 3>because it feels so good in the moment for that week.

273
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 3>But you've got to pay attention to the fact that

274
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>it's a seventeen game regular season and that if you

275
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 3>want to win, you got to win nineteen of them.

276
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 3>And it's just such a monstrous haul that that's what

277
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I would say. I would say, Hey, I'm so thrilled

278
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 3>we're winning. Let's make sure we're winning so that we

279
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 3>can win in January too.

280
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 1>That was Ryan Harris, former Broncos offensive tackle, Super Bowl

281
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>champion alumnus of Notre Dame, as switch gears to the

282
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 1>college football ranks. I get, first of all, an eyeball question.

283
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>See if you know anything about this. You know about

284
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback from UNLV who with the nil agreements and

285
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>decided to take a red shirt.

286
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look like.

287
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>UNLV's missed a beat because they have forty something points

288
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first half against Utah State right now. As

289
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, they've been put up points ever

290
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.519
<v Speaker 1>since he did that. That situation perfected me a little bit, because,

291
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 1>on the one hand, I want everybody to get the money.

292
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I want a kid to get his money. Anything that

293
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 2>was promised, I want to get that.

294
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.759
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, it felt sort of like he

295
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.519
<v Speaker 1>was quitting on his team, and I didn't really know

296
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>what to do with that. I guess it's the old

297
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>school of me that doesn't know what to do with

298
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>some of this new school in IL money.

299
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, lesson learned for the player, right. I mean, look,

300
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 3>there's all kinds of ways to go about business, but

301
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 3>we all understand what it's like to be human. And

302
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>clearly that coach told this player that he was going

303
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 3>to get more money than he was. They were winning

304
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 3>players stepped out to renegotiate. Now the player knows his

305
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 3>value went down. The price just went down, right, So

306
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I love that NIL holds coaches responsible and more enshrines

307
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 3>the individual rights of players, right, because now you can

308
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.360
<v Speaker 3>transfer if your coach lies to you. I I know who,

309
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 3>and Berg's got stories too. We know people who they

310
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.559
<v Speaker 3>commit to a school, and one kid I know they

311
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 3>after he committed, they told him to cut all his hair.

312
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.279
<v Speaker 3>He couldn't show up on campus with it, and he

313
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 3>couldn't study for the degree he wanted. It was literally

314
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 3>the week later. So nil is great. Get young people

315
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 3>introduced to money and contracts as early as possible so

316
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 3>that they make their mistakes as young as possible. And

317
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.440
<v Speaker 3>that quarterback just learned that he's going to be known

318
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 3>for whatever people's opinions are of him stepping out on

319
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 3>this team versus head. He kept playing and been the

320
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>starting quarterback of a four and oh or five and

321
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>oh UNLV team in Las Vegas and shock in the

322
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 3>world and maybe transferring somewhere next year where he's going

323
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 3>to get some shine as.

324
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.360
<v Speaker 4>An offensive lineman. I got to ask this question, which

325
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.840
<v Speaker 4>quarterback would you love to play for or play with?

326
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.879
<v Speaker 4>A guy who is your premier pocket passer or that

327
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 4>guy who has the ability to manipulate the pocket wants

328
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 4>to starts to break down.

329
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Which which guy did you rather block? Four?

330
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 3>The third guy, the one who can do both, and

331
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about Jayden Daniels and or Patrick Mahomes. I mean,

332
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.080
<v Speaker 3>you need both, you need the What people fail to

333
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 3>remember is that when you have a quarterback that's a

334
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 3>dual threat quarterback that everybody knows what they're gonna do.

335
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 3>They want to run early like a Lamar Jackson, even

336
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>though he is a great pocket passer. Let's not get

337
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.360
<v Speaker 3>it twisted. However, when you sing in the pocket, you

338
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 3>force the defense to play its natural pass defense. And

339
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.159
<v Speaker 3>the more you can sit in the pocket, even eight

340
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 3>nine times in a row, the more that they're gonna

341
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 3>start doing drop coverages, especially if you're getting some yards

342
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 3>and first down through the pass. But if you don't

343
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.080
<v Speaker 3>have a guy that can break out in those team

344
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.679
<v Speaker 3>moments and still get it downfield, you're gonna lose a

345
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.360
<v Speaker 3>lot of football games. So I'll take the guys that

346
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 3>can do both. I'm gonna throw I'm gonna throw Josh

347
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 3>Allen on that list too. Now. I won't put it.

348
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 3>He's earned that too. So the three guys in the

349
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 3>NFL who can do it right now, I'll take those

350
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 3>three because they can do both.

351
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, man Ay Ryan. We really appreciate you

352
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>taking some time out for us tonight and join us.

353
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>We always appreciate having you on the show.

354

<v Speaker 3>Brother fell as fun as always, peace YEP, take care, right,

355
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:04.679
