The Drive with Big Al and DMac gets going with the fellas saying they need to see something out of these Broncos this Sunday in LA. Alfred thinks the Broncos will run the ball a minimum of 25 times this game against the Chargers on Sunday. The Big Three brings up Kirk Cousins’ play last week, the Cubs winning a token game in the NLCS vs the Dodgers and LeBron James’ jersey ripped on opening night that’s caused Nike to stress over why the jersey ripped. Los Angeles Chargers Running Back Austin Ekeler joins the show for our second conversation with him this season. The pride of Eaton, CO and Western State tells us about how his season has went so far and what it’s like to hear Philip Rivers talk trash, when he doesn’t curse. Listen to the conversation HERE!
It’s Football at Four on The Drive as the fellas talk about some of the comments made by Broncos Defensive Coordinator Joe Woods about how his defense played against the Giants on Sunday. Alfred thinks there is something to say about the layoff that the Broncos had when it comes to the Bye Week. DMac thinks one of the biggest changes that was made that’s making a big impact is the release of TJ Ward. TJ was a leader on Defense that could’ve caused some ripples in the locker room. It is his presence that is missed. Troy Renck, Denver 7’s Bronco Insider joins the show to tell us what he thinks the Broncos record will be heading into the Philadelphia Eagles game in two weeks. Good teams find a way to play well after a game like they had on Sunday vs the Giants. Troy says it all starts with takeaways on Defense. We also ask Troy who the 53rd guy is on the Broncos roster heading into Sunday’s game vs the Chargers as we await the return of Shane Ray and Jake Butt. Listen to the talk with Troy HERE!
The third and final hour of the show gets going with calls from the fellas asking if you would be willing to give up two first round picks for an injured Andrew Luck. A caller brings up Kirk Cousins, who will be a free agent after this season, as well as the fact that the Broncos need to upgrade their offensive line before they bring in a franchise QB. A reminder is thrown out there that the Broncos were once in the Tony Romo sweepstakes no only 6 months ago as for an argument for the Broncos being willing to pay a price for an injured, or oft-injured QB. The show wraps up with the guys going over their picks for tonight’s Chiefs/Raiders game in Oakland.
