Speaker 1: Bring on a good friend from CBS romy being ro
Speaker 1: on me. How you doing on this Broncos victory Monday.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, guys, I think that not all
Speaker 2: victory Mondays are created equal because this one, this one
Speaker 2: feels good. I'm feeling good today.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you uh you know, did you have the did
Speaker 1: you get a new broom for the sweep?
Speaker 2: You know what I was thinking about it. I didn't
Speaker 2: pack my groom for Vegas. Well, I mean, what a
Speaker 2: missed opportunity.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the first time that the Broncos have
Speaker 1: gotten sweep on the Raiders since two thy fourteen, first
Speaker 1: ever win in Las Vegas. Broncos winned twenty nine excuse me,
Speaker 1: twenty nine to nineteen. And you know this was a
Speaker 1: game I was telling Nick, you know, of all the
Speaker 1: things in this game, and you know, you could talk
Speaker 1: about the Raiders being shorthanded, the secondary and all this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: The thing that stood out to me, they can jumped
Speaker 3: out to me.
Speaker 1: Three of the top four pass catchers for the Broncos
Speaker 1: or his first or second year. The top three rushers
Speaker 1: for the Broncos were first or second year players. The
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the first year player. It it was something that says, hey,
Speaker 1: we got a youth movement here and it's working.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And it really is. We're seeing Sean and Peyton's
Speaker 2: vision come to fruition. Right last year it was like
Speaker 2: halfway there. This year, it's really his guys, this is
Speaker 2: these are his guys, this is who he wants it,
Speaker 2: and it's really come into fruition and it's kind of
Speaker 2: the best way to say it. But I think that
Speaker 2: what's been interesting about that too is I think at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, like I'm insufferable on game damn,
Speaker 2: like more devon more devon va. I've been saying it
Speaker 2: all season long. But realistically, you look at the way
Speaker 2: that Sean has worked these guys in and he has
Speaker 2: paced them in many ways. It's smarting a lot of
Speaker 2: He's won, right, so they get used to the game,
Speaker 2: the speed of the game. But also you think about
Speaker 2: these guys are coming from.
Speaker 4: Twelve game seasons and now they're just.
Speaker 2: Kind of starting to hit their stride here. This is
Speaker 2: perfect if you really feel like you can make a
Speaker 2: push with these guys in the playoffs, They're not going
Speaker 2: to be so overly exhausted if you had really run
Speaker 2: them down early in the year. So, I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't know if that plays into the way he has
Speaker 2: kind of started to use them more late or not,
Speaker 2: but either way, I think it benefits the Broncos and
Speaker 2: all the things. Maley Right. People have been and are
Speaker 2: still upset.
Speaker 5: About Tim Patrick, but we all knew that Veley was
Speaker 5: the eventual replacement.
Speaker 4: So to see him out there I think makes.
Speaker 2: Fans really excited as well, because you're like, oh, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: s Tom. We do know sm Right is the eventual
Speaker 2: replacement here here here. But what's kind of fun is
Speaker 2: that you're seeing this team being built from the ground up,
Speaker 2: and so where are they in you know, two five years.
Speaker 2: Who knows, but we can say, you know, we saw
Speaker 2: this the way it started, with the seeds kind of
Speaker 2: getting planted, and I think that's pretty cool.
Speaker 6: Well, Robbie, there have been some Bowl supporters and some
Speaker 6: Bowl haters, and some of those Bow haters have constantly
Speaker 6: said that this quarterback is just checking the ball down,
Speaker 6: he's not taking deep shots. Over the past two weeks,
Speaker 6: we go back to the Atlanta game. You had to
Speaker 6: seven guys with explosive plays for guys this week, an
Speaker 6: you make that statement that bow is not an explosive
Speaker 6: play waiting to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny because that was the whole
Speaker 2: knock on bow right at the combine, he wasn't making
Speaker 2: the long throws. But in game situations it's been different.
Speaker 2: He is. He's making those long throws. And what stands
Speaker 2: out to me the most is especially on third down,
Speaker 2: a lot of third and longs and he's been making
Speaker 2: big plays. And when you go through the games, you're
Speaker 2: having thirteen sometimes twenty four yard games coming on third.
Speaker 4: Downs, and it shows that bo was not afraid, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, we continue to talk.
Speaker 5: About that he's ready for the moment, but to.
Speaker 2: Be making those big throws on third down, third.
Speaker 5: And long, he gets out of a.
Speaker 2: Lot of third down situations by throws of ball downfield.
Speaker 2: I mean, and I think that part has been really impressive.
Speaker 2: And I think you know, Tyler Gorse, who works with
Speaker 2: the Broncos, put out of stat right, most completions of
Speaker 2: twenty plus yards this season and bo Nix has the
Speaker 2: third most. So you know, I.
Speaker 5: Quoted it with the capitalized and uncapitalized letters, right, But he.
Speaker 2: Can't make the long round, Like, I think the narrative
Speaker 2: is just over now at this point that if you
Speaker 2: actually turn on the tape and you watch the ball,
Speaker 2: he's making big throws and he's making them, you know,
Speaker 2: a really crucial times during drives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is talking with romy Bean from CBS, romy
Speaker 1: from the Broncos, who look like they're lining up to
Speaker 1: have themselves a merry little Nix miss to the CU
Speaker 1: Buffs who did not get it done against Kansas. Deon
Speaker 1: Sanders remains one and six against ranked opponents over the
Speaker 1: past two seasons. Kansas probably the toughest game the Buffs
Speaker 1: had all year and certainly got it put to them there. Now,
Speaker 1: I know you're filling in for Mark Johnson right here,
Speaker 1: I believe on Wednesday on Bus Prime Time.
Speaker 3: Are you not?
Speaker 2: Oh I sure am. You guys are double duty of
Speaker 2: me with Prime and so I don't know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if Prime notes that yet. So he will find
Speaker 2: out this week.
Speaker 1: Well pleasantly surprised, I'm sure. As we look at the
Speaker 1: Buffs though, they need help to be.
Speaker 3: Able to make the Big twelve championship.
Speaker 1: Now, you got to have a combination of two losses
Speaker 1: I think from Iowa State byus on will state something
Speaker 1: like that, is it disappointing?
Speaker 3: Now do we build ourselves up?
Speaker 1: At first it was well to get over the absurdly
Speaker 1: low sportsbook total on wins for the season. Then it
Speaker 1: was hey, we're all the path paying for the big
Speaker 1: twel championship? Are we now set up for disappointment that
Speaker 1: now they don't control their destiny there?
Speaker 2: I think it's incredibly I think it can be both. Look,
Speaker 2: I think when you look at a.
Speaker 4: Big picture, is this season of success?
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, they doubled their win total, even if
Speaker 2: they don't beat Oklahoma State. So like big picture when
Speaker 2: you go back to again two years ago when it
Speaker 2: was a one win team and then Dion took it
Speaker 2: to four wins last year and then here in your two.
Speaker 5: Of coach front eight or nine wins in the season.
Speaker 2: Big picture, yet it is a success. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, it's incredibly disappointing because Colorado did control their
Speaker 2: own destiny and when you went there, and this is
Speaker 2: taking nothing away from Kansas because they are a dangerous
Speaker 2: team and their record really doesn't show how good they are.
Speaker 2: But you know, they weren't doing anything exotic, right, They
Speaker 2: were just running the ball down. Their throats were beating
Speaker 2: the defense of a line every single play. It was.
Speaker 2: The mistackles was insane. I mean, how many mistackles did
Speaker 2: we did you count there? So it was it wasn't like,
Speaker 2: oh they had that they.
Speaker 4: Were I don't know, getting schooled here and there.
Speaker 2: I mean they were just getting beat. And it's disappointing
Speaker 2: because the defense has kind of been the unit that
Speaker 2: you felt like you could rely on. You never really
Speaker 2: had to worry about it. I know people are talking
Speaker 2: about there's no run game, and they're and look, that's
Speaker 2: a problem, but there also hasn't been much of a
Speaker 2: run game all year. It was, you know, so that
Speaker 2: the offense looked pretty similar to what it often does,
Speaker 2: though the run game was even less.
Speaker 4: And they have to fix that for next year.
Speaker 2: But I think big picture, it's really disappointing because Colorado
Speaker 2: was in the driver's seat. Now look the Big twelve
Speaker 2: chaos they could get in, but you're depending on everybody else.
Speaker 2: And I think there was really high hopes for seeing
Speaker 2: this team and people were singing a little bit ahead
Speaker 2: myself included about this potential of being in the college football.
Speaker 5: Playoffs for the first time.
Speaker 2: Ever, right if they win the big twelve.
Speaker 4: So I think maybe, yeah, we got a little ahead
Speaker 4: of ourselves.
Speaker 2: But disappointing because it feels like they just they didn't
Speaker 2: seize that opportunity. And it was something where again, right,
Speaker 2: kids was running all these trick plays. They just they
Speaker 2: just played better. They played better at all phases, and.
Speaker 4: It's it's a really tough one to fall.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 6: Going into the Kansas game, we knew that the Jayhawks
Speaker 6: had two good corners and Kobe Bryant and Melo Johnson,
Speaker 6: but at the same time, to offset that, you look
Speaker 6: at the talented roster that the cu Buffs had as
Speaker 6: far as a number of wide receivers and Lejonte Western
Speaker 6: five receptions and Will Shephard one reception.
Speaker 3: So five between them.
Speaker 6: When you watched the game, were you a little flabbergasset
Speaker 6: at that the creativity excuse me, the lack of creativity
Speaker 6: from Pat Trumper, because these wide receivers coming into this game,
Speaker 6: they were really explosive, but the game plan didn't the
Speaker 6: call for to the involvement of Wester or Shepherd.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know what, it.
Speaker 2: Felt like it almost what urtedac to I guess really
Speaker 2: when you look at a lot of their losses where
Speaker 2: it just came down to where it felt like it
Speaker 2: was our share door and Travis's gonna pull off the upset.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of right that we're kept waiting for
Speaker 2: the big play to happen. And that's one of those
Speaker 2: things where it doesn't have to be.
Speaker 4: As much as we love.
Speaker 2: The big play, everybody who doesn't love the big forty
Speaker 2: fifty yard touchdown, it doesn't have to be a big
Speaker 2: play every time. You know, you can gain a lot
Speaker 2: from some screens, right and have a little motion in
Speaker 2: the background in the back, and you can throw a
Speaker 2: little screen and get really good chunk yardage. And we
Speaker 2: didn't see any of that. They haven't seen that, you
Speaker 2: know a lot of the season as well. But it's
Speaker 2: something that you know, I don't know philosophically why that's
Speaker 2: never seems to necessarily be utilized, right. I think that
Speaker 2: there obviously is the desire for the big play, but
Speaker 2: you know, in games like that where you need it,
Speaker 2: you need a couple of screens, you need a couple
Speaker 2: chunks plays, and there was just no sign of any
Speaker 2: of that. It felt like there was one option, right,
Speaker 2: it was two to twelve and if we weren't going
Speaker 2: to get that, we weren't going to get anything. And
Speaker 2: and Kansas came out on the better side. Laughs.
Speaker 1: We did get to see two go to twelve in
Speaker 1: that one, and it was interesting that his odds at
Speaker 1: the sportsbooks exploded actually after that, became the prohibit favorite
Speaker 1: for the Heisman in a game that the that the
Speaker 1: cu Bus lost. Chanty they barely won, but they did win,
Speaker 1: and Janty continue to put up big numbers.
Speaker 3: It feels like a two person race there for the Heisman.
Speaker 3: Am I seeing that? Differently?
Speaker 1: I I personally would have Diego Pavia there third in
Speaker 1: the Heisman.
Speaker 3: I'm hinting at a Heisman voter right now.
Speaker 1: They're in Nick Ferguson, But I, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: have a vote, so I, you know, I have to
Speaker 1: live vicariously through voters like Ryan Edwards and Nick Ferguson.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know, it's crazy that we're kind
Speaker 2: of talking about the two main guys and we're not
Speaker 2: really talking about quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: When does that happen in the Heisman race?
Speaker 2: It's kind of absurd And and said, but look, I
Speaker 2: think Travis Hunter is the best player in college football
Speaker 2: on both sides of the ball. And a few weeks
Speaker 2: ago you were saying, well, he's not necessarily hit those
Speaker 2: ride receiver numbers, but he is. Now right, he's hit
Speaker 2: and he's got you know, over over a thousand yards.
Speaker 2: He's just so dynamic. The thing is that Travis Hunter,
Speaker 2: he's your two best player on the field every given game.
Speaker 2: I think people were waiting to see if he was
Speaker 2: really going to sustain being able to play as many
Speaker 2: snaps as he does, and he has, and he just
Speaker 2: continues to produce even when you know, see he loses.
Speaker 2: He has an absolutely stellar, stellar performance on both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball. For me, regard you if the Heisman
Speaker 2: is given to the most outstanding player in college football,
Speaker 2: he's the most outstanding player in college football in two
Speaker 2: positions really, and so it's just honestly, it's been incredible
Speaker 2: to watch. Can't wait to see what happens in the NFL. Like,
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see how that all evolves and
Speaker 2: how a team decides to utilize him. But he should,
Speaker 2: in New York be the one standing with that trophy,
Speaker 2: no doubt.
Speaker 6: Now, Ronie, I'm very curious to see how you answer
Speaker 6: this question. Let's just say that you yourself had a
Speaker 6: Heisman Vogue, what would be some of the most important
Speaker 6: criteria that you use to evaluate some of these talented
Speaker 6: young men who were seeking the most coveted trophy in
Speaker 6: college football.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great question. You know, I think
Speaker 2: you do have to factor in wins, right, But and
Speaker 2: then I think you have to factor in when you
Speaker 2: look at right. You look at Gent's numbers, right, and
Speaker 2: his ability to do that, even if it's in a
Speaker 2: group of five, I don't care. Right, what he's doing
Speaker 2: is absolutely incredible. There are way to impact a game.
Speaker 2: How much better do they make a team? And when
Speaker 2: you look.
Speaker 5: At Travis Hunter, to me, he makes Colorado exponentially better
Speaker 5: on both sides of.
Speaker 2: The ball, right, And with Travis.
Speaker 5: I think that you do take into account how many snaps.
Speaker 2: He plays, because it's it's crazy, but that's something that
Speaker 2: I think overall you have to look at their You
Speaker 2: can look obviously there's the traditional stats, right, the yards,
Speaker 2: the touchdowns, interceptions, pass breakups, whichever way.
Speaker 5: That you're going, But how does that player?
Speaker 2: What is that team with or without that player? And
Speaker 2: I think if you look at both Colorado and Boise State.
Speaker 2: I mean, you maybe make a bigger argument for Boise
Speaker 2: State that without Gen that they are nowhere where they
Speaker 2: are with him. But I think the same stands for
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. And we've seen when he has, you know,
Speaker 2: been out of a game, it's you lose your best
Speaker 2: corner and your best wide receiver. So I think it's
Speaker 2: a look at traditional stats, but you almost have to
Speaker 2: take that like thirty thousand foot view of how does.
Speaker 4: This How do they impact the entire team?
Speaker 2: How do they impact the entire game every time they're
Speaker 2: in there? And to me, every time Travis is in
Speaker 2: there is a massive impact on the game. His feel
Speaker 2: for the game, the way the game just kind of
Speaker 2: moves so slow for him, his ability to make plays.
Speaker 2: You can get a look at all of that.
Speaker 1: Well, Travis Hunter not the only one who's odds exploded
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I guess we're all a little bow
Speaker 1: curious as bo Nick's He was in the second place
Speaker 1: for the Offensive Rookie of the Year and gets closer
Speaker 1: and closer to Jaydon Daniels. What do you think is
Speaker 1: more likely to come away.
Speaker 3: With the hardware? Bow Nicks or Travis Are?
Speaker 2: You know, Oh, oh ooo oooh, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna say bo or Jaydon Daniels. Gosh,
Speaker 2: that's a real toughy because I mean, look for me,
Speaker 2: Bow continues to get better each week. That is what's
Speaker 2: been incredible. I think his progress from week one to
Speaker 2: week twelve. If anybody tells you, oh yeah, I saw
Speaker 2: this coming there lying to you, nobody thought he would
Speaker 2: have been this much progress at this point. It's just
Speaker 2: it's pretty incredible to me. He continues to get better.
Speaker 2: And the big thing that stands out to me about
Speaker 2: Bo less his touchdowns and more his lack of turnovers.
Speaker 4: He doesn't take stack. I think, oh gosh, you mean.
Speaker 2: A tough one here. I'm gonna have to go with
Speaker 2: Travis for who I think is more likely.
Speaker 4: Can I call it a tie? That's tough.
Speaker 3: We'll let you off the hook on that one with
Speaker 3: a tie.
Speaker 1: And uh, we appreciate you obviously spend some time CBS
Speaker 1: is romy bean. Uh, I'll put you on the spot
Speaker 1: next week. We'll see, but I hope you have a
Speaker 1: good Thanksgiving. We look forward to hearing you doing prime
Speaker 1: time this year. Not that we don't like Mark Johnson,
Speaker 1: but it'll be a refreshing change, and maybe Mark can
Speaker 1: record some of those lines we've been waiting for, Grant.
Speaker 1: We've been we've been reading these lines because we want
Speaker 1: Mark's aggressive style.
Speaker 3: But you know what, maybe we need a romy Bean
Speaker 3: soundboard too.
Speaker 2: Grant, I'm gonna procres my best Mark for the show.
Speaker 3: Gosh every time, that's that's my favorite. I love Mark Johnson,
Speaker 3: but we do need we need a Roby Bean sound
Speaker 3: We'll get on. We'll get to work on that real soon.
Speaker 2: I have to say before you let me go, like
Speaker 2: and I don't mean this, it's.
Speaker 5: Not blasphemous at all, but I feel like it's God
Speaker 5: had a voice.
Speaker 2: It would be Mark Johnson's voice. You know what.
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that. I'm not pay If the
Speaker 1: devil had a voice would be me. So that that
Speaker 1: works out.
Speaker 5: There, You got it, Koa.
Speaker 3: See, this is what we do, Robbie. We appreciate the.
