The Drive with Big Al & Cecil LIVE in studio! The guys talk bargains with a twist for Black Friday, slashing prices on Demaryius Thomas and CJ Anderson. Al says drafting Garett Bolles may have been a bad decision, due to his age and contract situation. Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to say Paxton starting is a bi-product of the season, and the Broncos need to walk away from this six-week audition knowing for certain if Paxton is the future.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

Big Al & Cecil agree it needs to be screens and boots all day, and Paxton will have the opportunity to control the pace & set the tone. Al talks about making defensive ends nervous, and notes that Paxton can make a difference by slowing it down & taking what Oakland gives him. Cecil says Paxton is out of time, and Al says recently Broncos games haven’t even been entertaining. In his heart, Al wanted Brock to succeed, but thinks Mike McCoy’s gameplan stunk. In the Big 3 @ 3:30, Cecil asks Al about Chris Harris Jr.’s Thanksgiving skirmish with Isaiah McKenzie, and Al wants to know what ‘respect the vets’ means. Al asks Cecil why everyone is upset that we’re having a bad season, if we clearly have the worst QB play. Cecil says Paxton finally seems to be taking things seriously, and Al says you’d think with these players’ salary, they would be more focused. The guys talk bargains with a twist for Black Friday, slashing prices on Demaryius Thomas and CJ Anderson. Al says drafting Garett Bolles may have been a bad decision, due to his age and contract situation.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

Al wants one of these Vikings QBs, and Cecil says Case Keenum has captured lightning in a bottle. Cecil thinks we should trample the crowd to get Kirk Cousins, and Al says don’t forget Rich Gannon could run. Cecil says Pat Shurmur makes Keenum look good, and Big Al sticks up for Virgil Green, pointing out how the coordinating has kept Green down here in Denver. The guys figure out who should be the blocking TE in Denver, and who should be the pass catcher. Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to say Paxton starting is a bi-product of the season, and the Broncos need to walk away from this six-week audition knowing for certain if Paxton is the future. Troy says there has been no indication that DT is the best player on the field, and the regression this year was alarming. Also, why three QBs and two different coordinators are signs of a 3-7 record. Listen to the interview HERE!

 

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

In the Friday Fire Up, Al says we need to get Devontae Booker rolling early & often, and Cecil points out that if you’ve got the running game going, the skies will open up for DT and Emmanuel. Al mentions the added pressure on Derek Carr, and Cecil says we must keep Paxton Lynch upright. Al asks Cecil if we have the right offensive coordinator in Bill Musgrave, and tells Cecil if the offense doesn’t produce, it leaves the defense on the field too long. Also, why there is no love lost between John Elway & Jack Del Rio. In the Fan Football Pick ‘Em, the guys decide between the Bills & Chiefs, Panthers & JETS, Dolphins & Pats, and Raiders or Broncos. Al & Cecil are two of The Fan’s best pickers when it comes to NFL games. Also, bold predictions for the Broncos game on Sunday.
