The Drive with DMac & Tyler Polumbus LIVE in studio. DMac is upset with the Broncos after receiving some news about their starting QB. Troy Renck joins the guys to help ease their minds about Trevor Siemian’s shoulder injury after talking to Trevor himself. Denver’s compensatory picks are in & it’s ugly.

Troy Renck joins the guys to help ease their minds about Trevor Siemian’s shoulder injury after talking to Trevor himself. Troy highlights the little confidence the Broncos must have had in Lynch last season, and says Trevor is excited about the new offense & it will be fascinating to see him take the field. Listen to the interview HERE! Siemian is set to fight an uphill battle, but DMac & Tyler know that’s nothing different for him. Cecil Lammey joins the show & agrees with DMac right away about the Broncos meaningless Week 17 game & not starting Paxton. The fallout from losing Malik Jackson hits the guys harder every day. Tyler talks about going against Malik & what makes him unique as a 3-4 DT. Listen to the interview HERE!
DMac asks Tyler about the percentage of players in the NFL compelled to hide injuries, fearful of losing their jobs. The amount of excuses Trevor Siemian gets & how tough he really must be. Tyler talks about his experience with concussions, and the guys remember Peyton’s passing camp at Duke in April. DMac says what an opportunity this presents for Paxton Lynch this off-season. Calls are taken regarding Stokley’s breaking news about Siemian’s shoulder. Tyler says this team wants Paxton to take the reigns.
What would have happened if Bennie Fowler went down at the one-yard-line. DMac’s take on long FG’s in desperate situations being too risky. The guys remember the crazy classic with Ed Hochuli & Jay Cutler and decide more teams should go for two. Doubts about Paxton & Trevor make the thought of Tony Romo in Denver sound better, but there are still hurdles to jump. Ben Simmons shut down for the year in Philly & Jags show signs of giving up on Blake Bortles.
