WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.960 Finally, we've been talking about this for the last guys. 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.519 She feels like the last forever. I mean, it's finally, 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.359 it's finally here. So fellas, let's get right to it, 4 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:16.839 starting with the home opener. The opener this year is 5 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.760 at home September seventh against the Tennessee. 6 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.719 Titans, and I guess the question will. 7 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.039 Be Ryan, where we see cam Ward as the starting 8 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:26.280 quarterback of the Titans or not? 9 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.960 Well, I guess they could always go to Will Levis theoretically, 10 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:34.560 but yeah, you draft the guy first number one overall, 11 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.200 and you sort of think that he's going to be 12 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:37.960 the guy. They're not the Cleveland Browns who are benching 13 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.560 Baker Mayfield, so yeah, you think cam Ward is going 14 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.479 to be in there, and I don't know, it feels 15 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.880 like it lines up pretty nice for the Broncos. I mean, 16 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:46.840 you get too far ahead on this thing, but you 17 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.840 think about it in terms of facing a rookie quarterback 18 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.359 in his first start ever on the road and thinking 19 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.759 about how great this defense was last year getting after 20 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.719 the quarterback. I really like this as a setup for 21 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:57.880 the Broncos in Game one. 22 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.479 Without getting too disrespect full to an NFL franchise, is 23 00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.200 about as good as an opener as you could hope for. 24 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:04.640 It's a it's a as. 25 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.640 Good a warm up game, I think, as you possibly 26 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.439 could could want. Whether it's Cam Ord or whether it's 27 00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.120 it's Will Levis. The Tennessee Titans are not a great 28 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.920 football team. They're trying to get better, but they still 29 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.120 got holes to fill. And honestly, the first two weeks 30 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.280 in the season open up about as nice as you'd 31 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.439 like for the Broncos before it really starts to get 32 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:22.040 kind of weird. 33 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.959 Yeah, it gets kind of weirdt the next couple of weeks. 34 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.359 You know, last year the Broncos had their first two 35 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:30.760 regular season games. 36 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.040 On the road. 37 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.959 That was tough enough, and then two games excuse a 38 00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.040 game on the road, then coming home against the Steelers, 39 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.879 and then two more games on the road, so three 40 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.840 the first four. Even though the home opener this year 41 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.359 is going to be at Empower Field at Male High, 42 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.439 the next two games are both on the road. They'll 43 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.840 be in Indianapolis to face the Colts on September fourteenth, 44 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.840 and then the first Divisional game pops up in week 45 00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.319 number three, September twenty first, with a road game in 46 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.159 Los Angeles, to face the Chargers. 47 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.359 That's gonna be a challenge. 48 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.480 I mean, the Chargers last year were much they were 49 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.080 I a would say much improved, but they were improved 50 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.000 with Jim Harbaugh. And you sort of think because of 51 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.240 the expectations of that team, who again, we're a playoff team. 52 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.599 They got absolutely hammered in the postseason against Houston, they're 53 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.240 gonna have a bit of a chip on their shoulder 54 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.919 as well, and so that that's gonna be Again you're 55 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.840 talking about sort of a clash of two teams that 56 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.960 feel like they should be vying for the AFC West. 57 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.680 This is a weird division now, especially now that you've 58 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.199 added Pete Carroll with the Raiders. I don't see any walkovers. 59 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.479 There's no teams in this division. I think the Broncos 60 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.520 just added automatically are that much better. So they're gonna 61 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:41.800 have to earn it every single week. But I do 62 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.759 think that in the long run that's gonna be valuable 63 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.159 to them as they do make a put postseason push. 64 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.120 Yeah, you first home game against the Titans and you 65 00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.560 first Rode game against the Colts, those feel like games 66 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.439 that are eminently winnable for the Denver Broncos. 67 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.879 Based on what we see right now as we. 68 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.159 Sit here today, who's the starting quarterback for the Colts 69 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.199 Daniel Jones that second second game. 70 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.599 Daniel Jones. I think he's gonna be out a rich 71 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.719 In camp and I think he'll be the starter. He's 72 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.520 more consistent. You know, at the end of the day, 73 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.360 Richardson has better tools, but at the end of the day, 74 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.000 Jones is more consistent. And then you you know, you 75 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.280 on the road and what has been for many years 76 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.240 at a fact, a home game for the Broncos out 77 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.159 there against the Chargers, So he's certainly been a lot 78 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.879 more orange in the stands and there's been the powder blue, 79 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.879 although under horrible that may change. They're a physical football team, 80 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.800 and that kicks off a stretch of games there that 81 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.240 I think might kind of be brutally tough for the 82 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.360 Broncos because you're basically going to have a primetime game 83 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.120 against the the Bengals, a short week game on the 84 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.520 road at Philly, then you're on into London. 85 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.919 Like it's that's going to be a rough stretch of games. 86 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.120 Yeah, well, we'll talk about that next three game stretch 87 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.520 coming up. We invite you to watch and interact with 88 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.800 us on kiowa's Facebook page. Kowa Cast live Stream. We're 89 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.520 gonna be here for the next hour or so. And 90 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:50.879 by the way, we're gonna give you a chance to 91 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.840 win a pair of tickets to a Broncos home game 92 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.879 twenty twenty five Broncos home game that's coming up here 93 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:58.240 in the next few minutes as well. 94 00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.840 Okay, bent Ben kind of teased it. 95 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.159 The first prime time matchup of the twenty twenty five 96 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.000 regular season that comes on September twenty ninth. That is 97 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.639 the second home game of the season. So the first 98 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.400 four games, two at home, two on the road. The 99 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:17.560 home game on a Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. 100 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.839 Once again one of the best offenses in the league. 101 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.439 Whatever you think about Cincinnati's upcoming year, and of course 102 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.279 we'll have discussions about whether they improved it enough on defense, 103 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:27.319 they're gonna be good offense. 104 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.120 Joe Burrow. They brought back both their star wide receivers. 105 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.040 That brought back Mike Asiki, and that game was so 106 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.399 recent for Broncos fans, you're not gonna forget about it, 107 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.480 and I imagine the team won't forget about it as well. 108 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.959 This is a little bit of revenge opportunity. 109 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.560 Here at thing for the Broncos to take down the 110 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.600 Cincinnati Bengals in a game that they probably thought they 111 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.040 should have won last year when they went to overtime. 112 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.040 So that's gonna be a really interesting game. Obviously not division, 113 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.480 but in conference, and those games do matter when things 114 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.040 kind of get down the stretch. And for Cincinnati, you're thinking, 115 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.519 we got to get off to a faster start that 116 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.360 we did last year because that was part the reason 117 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.879 why they found themselves out of the postseason is they 118 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.040 got off to such a slow start. 119 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.000 So been more speculation. Obviously we don't know. But by 120 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.399 week four this fall is the Bengals roll into the town. 121 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.759 Do you think Trey Hendrickson will be part of the 122 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.639 Bengals team? 123 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.040 I don't. I don't think there's any way they can 124 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:16.720 pay him what. 125 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.519 He wants to pay on what he's demanding to be 126 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.439 and frankly rightfully so, but what he's demanding to be paid. 127 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.759 He's not going to play on a new contract. And 128 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.959 I don't know where the money's coming from here. I mean, 129 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.519 they have just powed so much money in that offense. 130 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:34.399 You made Jamar Chase the highest paid non quarterback in football, 131 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.199 a wide receiver making forty plus million dollars. 132 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.519 Then let's not for your t Higgins too, right, And 133 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.600 then you t Aggains. 134 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:41.680 You already got to Joe Burrow money. 135 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.439 And the Cowboys are going to get this Parsons thing 136 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.600 done fairly soon before the season. That's gonna put Hendrickson 137 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.319 in line for a forty five plus million dollars per 138 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.480 year pay day. I have no idea where Cincinnati would 139 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.680 even come up with that. They don't have the cash, 140 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.079 let alone the cap to make that happen, and so. 141 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.519 I don't believe it. I believe they'll trade him. 142 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.439 I know Washington had inquired previously about Hendrickson. I think 143 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.199 they'll try to Builo this summer and see if they 144 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.959 can't get Trey Hendrickson off the Bengals. 145 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.120 So the first four weeks they open do the Broncos 146 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.079 at home against the Tennessee Titans that game on September seventh, 147 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.839 and then two road games at Indianapolis, facing the Colts 148 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.240 on September fourteenth, then traveling to Los Angeles to play 149 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.000 it so far against the Los Angeles Chargers that game 150 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.839 on September twenty. First, we just mentioned. The first primetime 151 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.519 game is a Monday night home game September twenty ninth 152 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.079 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The next week before we get 153 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.839 to the London game. The next week, October fifth, the 154 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.759 Broncos travel to the city of Brotherly Love to face 155 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.759 the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and a rematch with 156 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.480 defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. 157 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.240 Yeah, that's going to be a tough game. 158 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.600 I mean, I think that we sometimes look at these games, 159 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.040 especially on paper, and say, I feel like that could 160 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.480 be a win, like we talked about with the Titans 161 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.360 and the Colts, and then you look at this game, 162 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.439 you're like, that's at Philadelphia against a team that, again 163 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.959 is pretty complete. 164 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.399 I know they lost some guys. 165 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.199 In free agency and there's expectations and maybe a bit 166 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.839 of a step back, but at this point they're not. 167 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.519 As we sitting here had this conversation today, That's not 168 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.399 how I'm feeling about this game. This feels like one 169 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.600 of those you go in, you compee, you do the 170 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.279 best you can, Hopefully you come out of that thing relatively. 171 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.680 Unscathed, and you get ready for the New York Jets. 172 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.560 Yeah, you don't ever want to dismiss a game as 173 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.079 far as like, you know, putting it in your head that 174 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.160 it'd be a loss, but on paper, you're talking about 175 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.519 playing prior to this, you got to beat them up 176 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:31.560 game against the Chargers. 177 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.439 You know that's going to be physical. You've got to a. 178 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.480 Shootout on a Monday night, probably against the Cincinnati Bengals, 179 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.399 a short week, early East Coast game against the reigning 180 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.160 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and looks like a pretty 181 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.079 tough ask for anybody. 182 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.160 Yeah, I would agree. And the game is at eleven 183 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.519 am Denver time, right. 184 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.600 Which early morning is always tough. 185 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:51.920 I think for the teams that are traveling back East. 186 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.600 I would suspect based on where the next game is, 187 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.279 that the Broncos will stay in Philadelphia, more than likely 188 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.920 leave from Philadelphia flying to London because the next game 189 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.800 the following Sunday, October twelfth, the Broncos and the New 190 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.399 York Jets from Toddingham Stadium. That is a seven point 191 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:15.839 thirty am Denver time on Sunday, and the Jets, a 192 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.600 team that nobody fellows really knows too much about except 193 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.639 justin fields, more than likely will be the starting quarterback 194 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.439 and they have a new head coach. 195 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.240 Yeah, Aaron Glynn's now the head coach, and we've always 196 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:28.920 liked Aaron Glynn. I think that we have a lot 197 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.519 of respect for Aeron Glynn, but it's tough to know 198 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.320 what when he's a rookie head coach, what they're going 199 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.720 to look like. And that is Week six, so we'll 200 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.039 have a little more information about that team by then. 201 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.519 They've got some offensive talent, for sure. They've always had 202 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.559 a really good defense. 203 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.240 I mean, the last several years are really good defense. 204 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.519 It's not going to be I think that you oftentimes 205 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.840 look at this game and you say, well, the Jets 206 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.840 have historically just been a bad team of the last 207 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.519 decade plus. This is a game that the Broncos should 208 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.960 absolutely win, and they should, but there's the unknown factor, 209 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:57.759 especially with Justin Fields and no, Ben, you're not a 210 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.080 big Justin Fields guy, but he offers a lot as 211 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.360 athleticism with his legs that that's not going to be 212 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.679 a walk in the park in my opinion. 213 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.919 Yeah, I mean anytime, I mean, looking at the schedule, 214 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.120 you're just coming off of already, you're coming off of again. 215 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.960 You get that physical game against the Chargers, you got 216 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:15.960 the Monday night game against the Bengals, a short week 217 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.559 game against the Eagles, and you're flying overseas to London 218 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.399 to take on the Jets. That's a brutal stretch of 219 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.600 football right there. I don't think the Jets are going 220 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.279 to be particularly good on offense. Justin fields is hashtag 221 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.360 not good. So you know, I don't know. I don't 222 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.440 think they're going to be particularly effective on offense. I'm 223 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.240 not a big fan of the offensive coordator and is 224 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.759 a first time offensive coordinator they got too, But beyond that, 225 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.279 that defense is plug and play. Aaron Glenn's a great motivator. 226 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.080 You know, you never know overseas what you're going to 227 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.720 get as far as that stuff goes. I think on paper, 228 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.120 on a neutral field, you say probably a Broncos win here, 229 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.000 but in London, you know who knows? 230 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.639 Yeah, I agree with you. 231 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.879 All right, let's recap the first six games. I'm gonna 232 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.559 ask you, guys, what you think the record will be 233 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.600 at that point. The Broncos open at home against the 234 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.960 Tennessee Titans, followed by two can say becutive road games 235 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.879 in Indianapolis to face the Colts, and also the next 236 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:08.720 weekend on the road against the LA Chargers in La. 237 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.200 Monday Night football comes to the Mile High City the 238 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.559 fourth game of the regular season, as the Cincinnati Bengals 239 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.320 rolled to town. The next weekend, the Broncos on the 240 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.960 road against the world champion Philadelphia Eagles, followed by a 241 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.399 trip across the Pond to face the New York Jets 242 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.720 that game at Tottenham Stadium on October twelfth. 243 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.639 So after six games with three being. 244 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.200 On the road, actually four if you count the road 245 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.240 game in London, so two home games and four road 246 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.519 games of the first six, Ryan, what do you have 247 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:47.759 the Broncos record? 248 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:53.039 I feel like you would accept three and three. You'd 249 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.320 probably like to be four and two, I think ideally. 250 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.120 I mean, you obviously want to win all of them. 251 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.639 That goes without saying, but you'd be looking at that 252 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.200 as an opportunity to go for into knowing that maybe 253 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.120 the Eagles and Chargers games is gonna be the toughest 254 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.399 ones in that group. But you feel like the home 255 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.000 games you definitely should have. You should have that Indianapolis, 256 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.039 you imagine again taking on Daniel Jones, Jones or Anthony Richardson. 257 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.120 You feel like you're a better team than that. And 258 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.399 then once again. The Jets game. It's a little bit 259 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.320 of a wild card because it's out there in London, 260 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.840 but that's a game on paper today, I feel like 261 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.919 you're gonna want to have so four and two three 262 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.120 and three is acceptable, knowing that you're to probably have 263 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.360 to get a game later on the season and win 264 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:29.679 that bat. 265 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.159 I'm pretty much with you on that. 266 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.480 I think that anything less than three and three you're 267 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.360 you're very disappointed. I think three and three and four 268 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.039 and two are realistic numbers. I think that Chargers game, man, 269 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.960 you're gonna have a physical football team. They struggled with 270 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.840 that last year. They struggled with it, so hopefully they 271 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.639 got some of that shorn up. That Eagles game looks tough. 272 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.559 I just you know, on paper right now, not seeing 273 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.159 that as a win. So I think four and two 274 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:52.279 is probably what you come out of this. 275 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.559 I don't disagree with any of that. 276 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.279 I think back to last year's Chargers game, and the 277 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.440 Broncos had every chance to win that game last year 278 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.919 in Los Angeles and early the second half, well at 279 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.600 the end of the first half, and then the second 280 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.960 half kind of got away from them, and there were 281 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.159 some things that were exposed on the Broncos defense for sure, 282 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.960 but I'm not ready to say that that will be 283 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:23.120 a game that the Broncos. I mean to me, that 284 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.320 game doesn't feel like the game in Philadelphia when you're 285 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.720 playing the Eagles run. As you said, we're not saying 286 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.039 it's not a winnable game, but I would say four 287 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.600 and two, and maybe the optimistic side of me says 288 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:37.320 five to one. 289 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.120 We'll see either way. 290 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.440 I think the Broncos would probably take that record. 291 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:43.879 Again. 292 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.399 We invite you to watch and interact on Ko's Facebook page, 293 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.600 koa cast live stream and we're going to be given 294 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.320 a lucky caller. We'll give you the number here. We'll 295 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.200 do that coming up here in the next few minutes. 296 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.759 But do you have a chance to win a pair 297 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.879 of tickets to a twenty twenty five Broncos home game 298 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.240 of your choice. So there are some really good games 299 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.360 in terms of home games this year for the Broncos. 300 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.559 Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards and Benjamin Albright with you. All right, 301 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.919 we're through six games. So after the game in London 302 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.679 and the game and the team more than likely flies 303 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.519 back immediately following that game, the Broncos, you would think 304 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:25.200 would have a. 305 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.480 Bye week, but they do not. They come back home. 306 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.799 They'll have a home game the following Sunday, which is 307 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:38.879 October nineteenth, against the New York Football Giants and possibly 308 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.399 Russell Wilson. 309 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.759 Yeah, that's the question, right, Is it gonna be Russ 310 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.600 this time? Didn't get a chance to see him last 311 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.200 year and he's with the Steelers. He was hurt at 312 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.840 that time. I say hurt air quotes maybe, but he 313 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.159 was hurt last year. Now it's going to be Russell Wilson, 314 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.240 Jameis Winston who's also there, and of course they traded 315 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.799 up for a rookie quarterback in Jackson Dart. 316 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.279 So it could be one of those three. I don't know. 317 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.720 I don't know if I freak out about any of 318 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.120 the quarterback matchups in that I think more than anything, 319 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.639 I'm excited to see Milik Neighbors versus Patzer Tan. That 320 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.039 for me is gonna be one of the like the 321 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.120 matchups in the game that I'm most excited about. 322 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.679 Yeah, this is. 323 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.759 Interesting because the Giants are coming off into fact oh buy, 324 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:18.840 they'll have Thursday Night football, so they have ten days 325 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.080 stretch there where they're off to get rested up. While 326 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.240 the Broncos are coming off that whole that brutal series 327 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.279 back to back where you had the short week against Philly, 328 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.320 you went to London, and then you come back home. 329 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.879 Thankfully a home game for Denver. But again you're catching 330 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.080 a Giants team that you may not think is that good. 331 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.519 But they'll be plenty of rested up and have the 332 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:36.960 extra days to prepare, So this game might be a 333 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.559 trap game for the Denver Broncos. 334 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.639 You want to keep your eye on that. 335 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.440 I'm not too scared about the you know, the Russ 336 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.440 or Jamis, whatever little we do see Jameis throw for 337 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.759 a million miles on that game than when he was 338 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.320 at the Browns last year. I'm not too concerned about it. 339 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.799 I do think the Broncos pull out a win here. 340 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:51.399 It's the next game. 341 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.080 I'm worried about. 342 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:52.759 Next game. 343 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.039 That bit is referring to following Sunday, another home game 344 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.120 October twenty sixth, as the Dallas. 345 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.000 Cowboys roll to town. You're worried about the Dallas game. 346 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.919 Dallas is going to catch people naping this year. They're 347 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.960 going to be a good football team. 348 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.840 You're really high on Brian Schottenheimer, not just that They've 349 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.480 made some personnel moves that you know in that offensive line, 350 00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.360 the run game. I mean, I think they're going to 351 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.759 be a much better team that The coordinator they hired 352 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.360 as an offensive line coach, he used to be with 353 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.279 the Arizona Cardinals. The stuff he did over there I 354 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.480 thought was pretty good as well. I think Dallas is. 355 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.720 Going to catch people napping this year. 356 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.279 Who's going to carry the ball for him? 357 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.639 Well, it'll be a platoon. 358 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.399 I mean, Javonte will be involved in that, although he's 359 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.039 probably going to be more of the pass catching back 360 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.360 for him. 361 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.679 They'll use a platoon in a rotation there. 362 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.840 You know, it's not going to be if you've ever 363 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.639 seen a Brian Schottenheimer offense, it's a three. 364 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:38.039 Headed rushing attack. I don't share your concern. 365 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.360 At least done on paper, and we get closer to 366 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:41.960 the game, maybe you feel a little bit different. 367 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.080 But for the Dallas Cowboys, they've got a lot to 368 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.720 prove this year. 369 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.320 Right now, I think a lot of people are thinking 370 00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.840 about them as a team that really hasn't done a 371 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.039 lot this offseason. They didn't spend a lot in free agency. 372 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.519 Once again, some mixed reviews on how they felt about 373 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.799 the draft. That took a really good interior offensive line 374 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.279 in the first round that we all like. But you know, 375 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.840 more than anything for the Dallas Cowboys, this is an 376 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:05.440 interesting year for Dak Prescott. 377 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.240 Ceede Lam's always going to be Cee Lamb. 378 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.919 He's a really good player, but interesting kind of prove 379 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:11.879 it year on the defensive side of the ball too. 380 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.879 I don't know there's such a don't forget George Pickens. 381 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.440 Yeah, they had they added George Pickens, So if he doesn't, 382 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:20.159 that wide receiver room, by the way, he's just on 383 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.960 his face, just the personality of that wide receiver room 384 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.759 is very vintage Dallas Cowboys. Dave, I imagine you would agree 385 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.039 with that. 386 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.919 Yeah, I think it's going to be interesting to see really. 387 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:34.240 Because you know, Ceedee Lamb's going to get the ball 388 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:39.200 and rightfully so, so how do they fit George Pickens 389 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.320 in that offense? You we all know that Brian Schottenheimer 390 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.399 is a guy that wants to run the ball and 391 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.960 then develop the play action passing game. So I you know, 392 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.159 I don't think it's going to be chuck the ball 393 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.240 forty five times and when Pickens has gotten in the 394 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.360 first two or three weeks twelve to fifteen targets total. 395 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.399 I just want how that room will be and how 396 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:02.000 he'll act. 397 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.480 Well, I'll say this, Brian shot Imer was the offensive 398 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.680 coordinator of the Seahawks during the let Russ Cook year, 399 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.799 the near MVP year he had, and they did throw 400 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.119 the ball a little bit there. They built off the run, 401 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.039
