00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Check it in with our guy Ryan Michael at the

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Michael on Twitter? Ryan, how you doing this evening?

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Doing well? Then? Nick? How are you guys doing pretty well? Guys?

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Bon Nicks has.

5
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Done basically a complete one eighty from the first four

6
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>weeks of the season what looked like a bust to

7
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>some people after a couple of games to possible offensive

8
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Rookie of the Year candidate now through twelve games are Listen,

9
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>are you ready to apologize with Sean Payton hate that's

10
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>been sizzling out of your Twitter account?

11
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

12
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>My goodness, listen. I am the biggest Sean Payton fan

13
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>in the world and nothing would make me happier than

14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>to continue to see us winning football games, scoring points.

15
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I try to be fair and everything that

16
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I do. So we're a team that's trending upwards. Certainly,

17
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>seven and five is well above expectations. I think the

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>overunder before the season started with five and a half.

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>So doing well, super and is quickly developed into a

20
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>player showing signs of becoming a franchise quarterback. Even better,

21
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 2>he was the guy who I had second on my

22
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>draft board coming into the season. I think he's had

23
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>one of the most impressive college football resumes of any

24
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>quarterback prospect we've seen over the last decade. So he's

25
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 2>trending in the right direction, so much so that if

26
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>we shrink the windows that since Week three, he took

27
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 2>his per game average and put it over a seventeen

28
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>game pace, you'd be looking at four thou ninety total yards,

29
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 2>thirty four total touchdowns, only three picks, zero loss fumbles

30
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 2>all season. So sure it was spectacular the offense, though,

31
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Ben still ranks nineteenth in Portsberg game scored. And you

32
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>want to guess where we ranked last year.

33
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I know the answer to this would already, but I'll

34
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>let you dazzle us.

35
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 2>In ranked nineteenth in points per game scored last year.

36
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 2>So you know, if you look at what we're doing

37
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>this year with flooring points in very different ways. Both

38
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>accounted for twenty one of our twenty five offensive touchdowns

39
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and for the four supportive Russian touchdowns on the ground,

40
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>one was one yard, another was five, another was eight.

41
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Three of those four were you know, close in the

42
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>red area. So we're doing it a bit differently. And

43
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 2>I was talking on Twitter earlier today a little bit

44
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 2>about this. Russell Wilson was very underappreciated for what he

45
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>was able to accomplish our structure. Last year, he led

46
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>the AFC touchdown pass percentage of five point eight. That's

47
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>very high, and he produced just one fewer touchdown pass

48
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>and one hundred and fifty fewer attempts than Patrick Mahomes

49
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to trade off as I feel like we talked about

50
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>this third week, he finished twenty seventh in sack percentage,

51
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>so Bow is the antithesis of that. He's seventh in

52
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the league right now. He's technically third if you narrow

53
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>down the quarterbacks who started ten or more games, but

54
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>he's twenty first in the league in sack percentage. So

55
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>bo style is death by a thousand paper cuts, right timing,

56
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 2>rhythm efficiency, a Sean Payton offense, perhaps without the weapons

57
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>that we saw in New Orleans, and b Nix isn't

58
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>quite true abreziate. So he's showing great development. We're doing

59
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the best we can in salary cap held, but yet

60
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 2>was still nineteen from the league in scoring. Now.

61
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Coaches like people are creatures of habit, and what I

62
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 3>mean by that is when they live and die by

63
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 3>their system and they have players or they look for

64
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 3>players to kind of fit their previous system with their

65
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 3>current system. Now when you look at Courtland Sutton and

66
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 3>you look at Devon Belay, those two are now emerging,

67
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>in my opinion, as wide receiver number one and why

68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 3>receiver number two. Do you see how they're being deployed

69
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 3>similar to maybe what Sean Payton has done in the

70
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 3>past with other receivers.

71
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I mean we're right now New Orleans Saints light

72
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>and they mean that effextionllently. So you could say that

73
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Courtland Sutton is a poor man's Michael Thomas and Devon

74
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the comparisons this week from Marcus Coulston, I

75
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>could see that. You know what, we could used Nick As,

76
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>we could use Jimmy Graham, because right now, amongst the

77
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>tight end position, Lucas called the team of ten receptions

78
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Troutman just one hundred and fifty eight yards Nate Adkins,

79
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>who hadn't scored a touchdown even in college football and

80
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>longer than I can remember most touchdowns by a tight

81
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 2>end on Broncos this year with too So yeah, I mean,

82
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 2>there's this similar deployment and they're cut of the same

83
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>mold of Sean Payton kind of eyes. We're certainly seeing

84
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a roster that built in his image this year. So

85
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I like what I'm saying so far, and I believe

86
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I said this last week. We have arguably, if not

87
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the best rooky quarterback in the NFL, arguably the best

88
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>offensive line in the NFL, and arguably the best defense

89
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. So in salary cap hell, we're not

90
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>going to necessarily have assassins at the skill position. I

91
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like what I'm seeing with what.

92
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>We have with Ryan Michael at the Ryan Michael on Twitter.

93
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>The offense has been steadily growing, but the defense has

94
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 1>been consistently elite. How much credit do we give Sean

95
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Bayton for the fact that the defense is elite and

96
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 1>carrying this team.

97
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that, you know, we have to give him

98
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>credit for the change of culture beyond that this is

99
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>really vanced justice defense. And I think we have to

100
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>be fair then, because Sean Payton was also the overlord

101
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 2>of New Orleans Sames teams that produced defenses that finished

102
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 2>thirty to thirty first and thirty second in points per

103
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>game surrendered, And if you think back to that time,

104
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>nobody was typically critical of him for those awful defensive

105
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>finishes because on the offensive side of the ball, they

106
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>were top ten, often top five. So if we were

107
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be leaning on him when the defenses weren't

108
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>bad under his botch, can we really give him more

109
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 2>credit relative to the criticism that we gave him when

110
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 2>they were bad in New Orleans? I don't think so.

111
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I think at the end of the day, we need

112
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to give a lot more credit to Vance Joseph. And

113
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 2>what I'm seeing on that side of the ball is

114
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>an exotic aggressive defensive schemes were blitz heavy. I think

115
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>around forty five percent of the staffs or blitzes, and

116
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>our guys get to the quarterback even when we're not

117
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>sending experments of the personnel. This year has been very strong,

118
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and the unique thing about the Broncos pass defense is

119
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>they're winning in other ways, you know, compared to other

120
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>defenses that have been good. Take the Texans, for example,

121
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>they lead the league with seventy passes defended. We're down

122
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>to twentieth with only forty two. What we are are

123
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the NFL's leader in sacks. We have forty four. We're

124
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 2>sacking the quarterback on nine point six percent of the play,

125
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>so one out of every ten plays results in a sack.

126
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>You know that we're doing well. We're second only to

127
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore and quarterback hits we already have ninety, so we're

128
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>doing it in a very different way. We're second in

129
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the league in yards per attempt allowed on the positive

130
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 2>end of it, so we're only allowing six point four

131
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>yards per attempt. Our dbs aren't swatting down a lot

132
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>of houses. We're allowing completions. We're around league average. I

133
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 2>think we allow roughly sixty five percent completion percentage. But

134
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>they're tackling machines and they're not traveling very far distances.

135
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And at the end of the day, we can bend

136
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. We're not breaking. We're not giving up

137
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>points short of the league points per game surrendered. I

138
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>love what I'm seeing from the defense.

139
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, you may love what you're seeing from the defense

140
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 3>as much as I love what I'm seeing for the defense.

141
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 3>But my counterpart, you know, Benjamin Albright, he has this

142
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:20.560
<v Speaker 3>thing for clock management, and we've spent you know, some

143
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 3>time at nauseum talking about this, but I'll allow to

144
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>get you your take on the situation. Is three minutes

145
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 3>thirty eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, and the

146
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Broncos throw three passes. Do you feel the same way

147
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 3>about clock management as one Benjamin Albright?

148
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I do? And at this level, Nick, it really is

149
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful There are season Madden players better. So you

150
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>have three minutes thirty eight seconds on the clock, you

151
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>hear us three times in a row, so you shaved

152
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>a few seconds. That got him down to three minutes

153
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty three seconds. So the fact that we won the

154
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 2>game means that we're going to overlook that kind of

155
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>clock management completely. But it's the kind of decision making

156
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>and a competitive, somewhat competitive game, at least towards the end,

157
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>they shot that could cost you a football game. So

158
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>just because we win doesn't mean that we should overlook

159
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>bad clock management. It makes my head, well.

160
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 3>You know what, It's very interesting because not often do

161
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 3>you come on and you agree with Ben on end.

162
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Because Ben was celebrating, he threw his hands up like

163
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 3>he's on the steps of Philadelphia and he was Rocky Balboa.

164
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 3>And then you mentioned, you know, Madden Football, all the

165
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 3>things that Ben loves to play. And I told him

166
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 3>immediately when he had his comments, he was reverting back

167
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 3>to his Madden days where he just loves to run

168
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 3>the ball. But here's what I would say. I said

169
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 3>this to Band, and you tell me what you think.

170
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that coach Payton did what he did

171
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 3>knowing is though he has one of the top defensive

172
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 3>units in the league, you can.

173
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Take more chances when you have an elite defense on

174
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the other end of the football. But this kind of

175
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>brings me back Nick to Ben's question a few minutes ago.

176
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>How much credit do we give Sean Payton for the

177
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>elite defensive performance if you are now taking irresponsible shots

178
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 2>on offense, the kind of chances that could lead you

179
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.639
<v Speaker 2>to losing a football game that shouldn't have even been

180
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>as close as it was. And if your excuse for

181
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 2>that is that vance Joseph from the defensive side of

182
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the ball has us lockdown, I still think that that's inexcusable.

183
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I understand the personnel that we have to work with

184
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>in the ground game, it's not strong, but you've got

185
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to at least give it to a running back on

186
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>one of those three plays.

187
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to me, And at the end of the day,

188
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not about gaining yardage or anything. You want to

189
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 1>get a first down, but even three negative rushes would

190
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>have been better than three incompletions. Agreed, at least you're

191
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 1>taking time off the clock or taking time outs away

192
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>from your opponent. I do want to give Sean Baks

193
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>some credit, though we can't just sit here a bag

194
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.879
<v Speaker 1>on that, especially after a win. We can all see

195
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the offense approving what specifically has impressed you about what

196
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Sean has done the let's sell the ball.

197
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm seeing with bone Nicks is we're

198
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 2>continuing to tailor the offense to his strength, so that

199
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>would be quick, complete, structured yards after the catch. And

200
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 2>as he's becoming more comfortable, he's opening up the playbooks.

201
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 2>He's been able to more efficiently attack the middle of

202
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the field. These are the kind of things that we

203
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>saw at Oregon, and we knew that we weren't going

204
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to see instant success. I believe I said before the

205
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 2>season even started, the twenty twenty four should be about

206
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>getting bone Nicks acclimated to the system. So here we

207
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 2>are two thirds through the season and he's already playing

208
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the position at an elite level, hitting some highs. We

209
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>put up one hundred and forty five passer riding the

210
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>week before last second highest in the history of the

211
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>franchise higher than John Elway ever hit, although we've got

212
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to adjust for eras, so take it with a grand salt.

213
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I love what I'm seeing and as bone, it's a

214
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.639
<v Speaker 2>quarterback driven offense, and I don't say that to take

215
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 2>any credit away from what Sean Payton is doing. We

216
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 2>understand that he doesn't have Campa Bay twenty twenty roster,

217
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't have the two thousand and seven Patriots, so

218
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>none of us should have or have expectations for the

219
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.080
<v Speaker 2>offense to be a top three, top five offense. We

220
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.039
<v Speaker 2>still want to produce more points, and slowly but surely

221
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 2>we're doing that. We have to be patient. We're rooting

222
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 2>for him every week again and not trying to sell

223
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 2>short the progress that he's made with bo Nicks. But

224
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, guys, when you see these issues

225
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>with clock management and you see the lack of points

226
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>produced over the grand sample size of here we are

227
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>at seven and five, twelve games in, there's still plenty

228
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 2>of room for improvement.

229
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>When you look at the Broncos run game, and we

230
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 3>haven't really talked about it in great detail because it

231
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 3>hasn't really been that explosive. Now we're moving into the

232
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 3>back half of the season, colder months. What can we

233
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.799
<v Speaker 3>anticipate from the Broncos offense from a run game standpoint,

234
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 3>You think.

235
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Channing out so far through twelve games, like Toronte Williams,

236
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>who is at one hundred and twenty carries only averaging

237
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>three point seven yards per rush, that's not great success percentage,

238
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 2>which is an efficiency metric for Pro Football Reference, very

239
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>six point seven percent not tremendous. I do like what

240
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing out of all your estimains, averaging four point

241
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>seven yards per carry equal to that of Bonix, and

242
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I believe I said this a few weeks ago when

243
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>we were trying to predict what the second half of

244
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>the season would look like for Bonnicks, I had a

245
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>feeling they would take him out of harms when we

246
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.519
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't see as much of the quarterback design runs as

247
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 2>we saw in the first half of the season. I

248
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 2>think that's smart. We need to keep Bonius healthy. But

249
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, the more that we can rotate these running

250
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>backs in and generate momentum, I feel frustrated saying the

251
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>same thing week after week after we because we don't

252
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 2>have Derrick Henry in the backfield. We don't have shake

253
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>on bar play in the backfield. If we did with

254
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.559
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line that we have, you'd be saying much

255
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>better games. So I don't think the objective should be

256
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 2>for us to become a run first team or to

257
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>have any crazy sort of expectations. We just want to

258
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>get better, and slowly, but surely we're getting inner. Tyler R.

259
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Michael at the Ryan Michael on Twitter, Ryan, Pat Mahomes

260
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 1>didn't look like a scrub versus Carolina. Are you ready

261
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to eat some crow on your Mahomes criticism from a

262
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks back.

263
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean he played Carolina, the second to loss in

264
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the league. They give up one hundred and five point

265
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>six passer rating nearly seventy percent completion percentage, their second

266
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 2>to last in the league and SAT League fifteen sixteen

267
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>seventeen something like that, and their last in the NFC

268
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>in terms of touchdown passes surrendered was twenty one. So

269
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Pat Mahomes is trending upward as bo Nicks has been.

270
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day here he is.

271
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Eleven games in his season, he ranked twenty first in

272
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the league in the just Vate yards per tenth after

273
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>last year he was fifteen in the league, so right

274
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 2>around league average, from the moment he started his first

275
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>game against less than twenty seventeen. All the way through

276
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the end of twenty twenty two Hiss MVP campaign, he

277
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>ranked number one in the NFL. So when you look

278
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>at one of the best overall efficiency metrics to go

279
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.200
<v Speaker 2>from it half decade running number one in the league,

280
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 2>dropping down the fifteenth last year, and he's twenty first

281
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>this year despite playing really well against Carolina. Well, I

282
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>love Pat mahons, he's the future first ballot Hall of Famber.

283
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 2>But if we're pretending that the totality of his value

284
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>of work our last two season is gonna comparable to

285
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 2>just do the best runs we've seen in the history

286
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>of the position from twenty eighteen twenty twenty two, I

287
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>think what we're doing is we're unintentionally selling short how

288
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 2>great he was for that first half decade. Don't do that.

289
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, we don't want Understell. We've got Cleveland Browns

290
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>coming up on Monday night.

291
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

292
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>What's your prediction?

293
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Real quick? Twenty eight to seventeen Denver.

294
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, Okay, I'm a little concerned about this one.

295
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>He's he's confident though he comes out to twenty eight

296
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to seventeen. Well, we'll certainly I'll hold you to that,

297
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and if it doesn't happen, we'll weill mercilessly roast you

298
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>for twenty minutes next week immediately following the game. For

299
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>those are the rules, so I don't make that much

300
