The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Adam Schefter joins the show to say he’s shocked Joe Thomas won’t be starting at tackle for the Browns in their next game. DMac asks Adam if the Broncos should be considering a trade for a tackle, and Adam notes the position is thin around the NFL & Denver has tried to make moves, they just haven’t worked out. Derek Wolfe joins the show to talk about his frustrations with the way things turned out on Sunday afternoon in California. Troy Renck joins the show to say Michael Schofield just needed a shot in a different uniform, and Garett Bolles still shows some inconsistencies.
Big Al says ‘told you so’ after Philip Rivers proves he’s a better quarterback than Trevor Siemian. Adam Schefter joins the show to say he’s shocked Joe Thomas won’t be starting at tackle for the Browns in their next game. DMac asks Adam if the Broncos should be considering a trade for a tackle, and Adam notes the position is thin around the NFL & Denver has tried to make moves, they just haven’t worked out. Schefter says since the Chargers transitioned to using Hunter Henry, they are 3-0, and the Chiefs are the favorite to win the AFC West now with Denver’s daunting schedule left remaining. Listen to the interview HERE! In the Big 3 @ 3:30, DT’s offensive pass interference call is debated, and Big Al notes DT’s unfair advantage if the play wasn’t called. Also, all the things wrong with Travis Benjamin’s punt return for a TD & why Trevor Siemian must play better on Monday night. Derek Wolfe joins the show to talk about his frustrations with the way things turned out on Sunday afternoon in California. Al asks Wolfe about how hot it was on the field, and Derek notes the problem with putting your life on the line every play for no reason in a shutout. Also, how Derek is going to start holding others accountable & stay focused through the toughest part of the Broncos schedule. Listen to the interview HERE!
Big Al says the kick & punt return game can be weapons for us, and DMac hammers Brendan Langley for running the ball out of the end-zone situationally. DMac says low-paid players are going to make dumb mistakes. The guys agree it’s a tough day, but they remain optimistic about the Broncos young players. DMac gasps at watching Trevor Siemian get hit the way he did by Melvin Ingram, and says get ready for Trevor to be ‘hurt’ and Brock Osweiler to enter the fold. Big Al is a fan of the boot, and says it shouldn’t be about the quarterback. Al is willing to run three TE sets in order to run the ball, and tells DMac Trevor Siemian is the Broncos best QB, so you must roll with him. Troy Renck joins the show to say Michael Schofield just needed a shot in a different uniform, and Garett Bolles still shows some inconsistencies. Al notes how Philip Rivers helps the rest of his team out, and Troy says Siemian & seeing ghosts & doesn’t look like the same QB he was at the beginning of the year. Siemian is always in the wrong spot when he scrambles, and Troy says he looks like a QB that’s taking too many hits & it’s a concern. Listen to the interview HERE!
DMac asks Al if it’s time to play DeAngelo Henderson, and Al says he doesn’t want to take that chance right now with Henderson’s fumble problems. We hear from Vance Joseph on why great weeks in practice are not translating to play on the field. VJ says the plays were there to make, the players are just missing assignments & not executing. Also, Al & DMac debate if Trevor Siemian has Kurt Warner potential, and if they have a chance at a comeback in this week’s Fan Football Pick ‘Em.
