The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE from Sports Column! Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to break the news to DMac about DeAngelo Henderson being declared inactive, and explain why no fans are showing up for tonight’s game in Indy.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

Al tells DMac the home team has the advantage in these Thursday night games, and TNF games need both teams to have a BYE before they play to keep players fresh & the game entertaining. Al is giving VJ a pass on nearly everything, because his fingerprint has yet to be left on this team. Al wants guys that are coveted by other teams, and tells DMac the Broncos need a back that can dictate the pace & flow of the game. In the Big 3 @ 3:30 DMac asks Al if Eli Manning would make sense in Denver, and Al reviews John Dorsey’s full endorsement of Hugh Jackson. DMac says the Browns are a mess, and Al is looking for Zach Kerr & Shelby Harris to have an unexpected, big day. Al knows first-hand that it’s hard as hell to rush the passer when your team is losing, and gives props to Von Miller for his tenacity & ten sacks despite the poor offensive output by the Broncos.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

Big Al mentions Kevin Sumlin as a possible coaching candidate for the Broncos, and DMac explains how Gary Kubiak can work his way back into the head coaching fold. Al says the old ways of coaching have gone by the wayside, and DMac mentions the importance of John Elway finding a direction for this Broncos team. The guys continue to be baffled by DeAngelo Henderson & Kyle Sloter not getting a chance on this year’s Broncos team after clearly standing out as the top athletes in the preseason.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

Al says we need more playmakers like Kamara & Cook, and it’s time to find scrappy guys willing to put in the extra effort like Rod Smith. DMac asks how exciting it would be to see the Minnesota Vikings win the Super Bowl in their home arena & to watch Kyle Sloter get a Super Bowl ring. The guys no longer care about what happens in the preseason, after watching Denver’s most explosive playmakers land on the inactive list every week of the regular season. DMac says the preseason should be cut down to two games, and asks Al if he’s fine with Denver winning tonight. Al notes the rumblings about Andrew Luck wanting to get out of Indianapolis, and what he’s doing in Europe getting a second opinion on his shoulder. Cecil Lammey joins the show to say as long as Paxton is getting everyone water, he’s fine with it. Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to break the news to DMac about DeAngelo Henderson being declared inactive, and explain why no fans are showing up for tonight’s game in Indy. Listen to the interview HERE! Also, DMac says avoid the KISS CAM on the JUMBOTRON.
