The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Derek Wolfe joins the show brought to you by Ted’s Montana Grill to talk about the past couple games and if Brock Osweiler is a guy that can lead the locker room. Former Jacksonville Jaguar Tony Boselli joins the show to say the Broncos need better athletes, and are looking for a particular technical skill-set in their guys.
DMac says congrats to Brock Osweiler, and Big Al accepts the fact that Denver may eventually have to move on from Trevor Siemian. DMac declares that Brock Osweiler is not a fit here in Denver moving forward as the starter, and asks Al what about Chad Kelly. Al says the juice Brock provided to the offense last night is contrary to what Elway may be trying to do. Al is impressed with Connor McGovern & the Broncos O-Line, and tells DMac we may have some pieces to work with when looking ahead to the ’18 NFL Draft in hopes of repairing a broken Denver offense. CJ Anderson dominated with bell-cow numbers last night, and Al still notes that Anderson is no home-run hitter & we need to see more games like that before Anderson can be trusted as Denver’s RB1 next year. Derek Wolfe joins the show brought to you by Ted’s Montana Grill to talk about the past couple games and if Brock Osweiler is a guy that can lead the locker room. The guys ask Derek about Connor McGovern & the younger guys fitting in, and Derek discusses the problem with nobody on the team knowing who is supposed to lead the team. Listen to the interview HERE!
Former Jacksonville Jaguar Tony Boselli joins the show to say the Broncos need better athletes, and are looking for a particular technical skill-set in their guys. Boselli says it’s not just a Broncos issue, the problem has spread across the NFL. Boselli notes that the Broncos are an interesting case study, and Denver must continue to build the offensive line & find their identity, similar to the growing pains Jacksonville had to go through. Listen to the interview HERE! DMac highlights Mike McGlinchey of the Fighting Irish as a OT to look out for in the ’18 NFL Draft, and is still in awe from Devontae Booker’s hurdle play. Al notes that Denver played inspired football, and the guys try to figure out a formula. Al & DMac break down the Broncos quarterbacks, and Al is disappointed that they are even having the QB conversation at this point. Al tells DMac he is pissed, and what Denver is doing this year seems downright stupid. Al says something good could happen, but the Broncos can make it bad. Al says Denver messed up with starting Paxton Lynch, and should have made Paxton the starter Week 1. Al compares Brock Osweiler to Bubby Brister, and says it makes no sense to bench the guy that’s been winning you games, if your ultimate goal is to win.
In the Friday Fire Up! The guys hear the best calls from all the Denver sports, including Mutombo’s Nuggets & Sakic’s Avs. Callers try to get Al fired up, as he is still pissed about Denver’s QB situation. Al says anything can happen, and he’s just looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. DMac asks Al if he’s willing to pay Brock Osweiler free-agent money, and if Brock will have other suitors in the offseason in the $7 million range. Al says the Broncos have to figure out what they have in their first-round draft pick, and would like to see Paxton for at least one more game. The guys talk about SpiderCam, and if it added to or took away from the game. DMac says the vast majority of the game doesn’t need to be broadcasted from the same camera angle, and the callers ask if Denver should be interested in another receiver being added to the mix & moving on from Emmanuel Sanders.
