DMac asks Big Al who Case Keenum is to him now, and Al says he no longer has interest in Keenum as Denver’s QB.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter joins the show brought to you by Laborers Local Seven Two Zero, and the guys decide who can be an upgrade in Denver and if Jacksonville plans to commit to Blake Bortles. Schefter says maybe Denver will make Cousins feel wanted, and asks who doesn’t like being wined & dined. Listen to the interview HERE! DMac asks what happened to the Jags, and Big Al laughs that the Patriots dared Blake Bortles to beat them. Big Al tells DMac Teddy Bridgewater sees himself as a starter, and the guys wonder who the Vikings will designate as their returning QBs next season. Also, Al agrees with DMac it’s hard not to get caught up in the Colorado Avalanche buzz. FAN Broncos, NFL Draft & Senior Bowl Insider Cecil Lammey joins the show to say Michael Gallup is spending some time with the NY Jets staff, and he’s got WRs on the brain. Cecil says Mason Rudolph has dropped out of the Senior Bowl, and he is doing some research on why Baker Mayfield has not arrived yet. Listen to the interview HERE!
Big Al wants to know why everyone is so dismissive of Lamar Jackson, and wants the Broncos to give him a look in Denver. The guys compare Jackson’s body type to that of Josh Allen, and Big Al says he wants a leader at the QB position. Big Al states that it’s the big moments that define guys, and DMac highlights the QBs in the draft that can throw a beautiful deep ball. Also, the guys decide if anyone in the ’18 NFL Draft is inspirational like Tim Tebow. The guys discuss the refs allegedly helping out the Patriots on their road to the Super Bowl, and conspiracy vs jealousy as Tom Brady starts to develop his own rules similar to how Michael Jordan did. Al & DMac take a look at backup QBs throughout the league like Nick Foles, and figure out if they would be suitable in Denver’s system.
Big Al says there’s trouble in New York, with Eli Apple causing problems, and DMac takes a look at Miami & if they can rebound with a healthy Ryan Tannehill. The guys agree Denver doesn’t have progressive play-calling & draft strategies like the Patriots & Steelers do. Also, DMac asks Al who the face of the Broncos is. DMac’s dad, Peter McKee joins the show to talk about lobster fishing & if he was scared at any point in the game that New England would not be able to pull off the comeback against the Jags. Peter says he was afraid the entire game, and he doesn’t feel good about New England winning the Super Bowl yet. Also, DMac pitches Peter’s paintings & how to purchase one. Listen to the interview HERE! The guys touch base with Cecil Lammey, to help get a grip on Josh Allen’s flaws, and the path he’s trying to take to get better. Al gets Cecil’s early impressions on Allen, and Cecil notes that despite his 6’5” frame, Allen is not as tall as some of the QBs we’re used to here in Denver. Also, how the Colorado Avalanche keep it rolling against the Maple Leafs.
