The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Marcus Peters & Andy Reid are clearly not on the same page, and Adam Schefter says a deal is in place to move Peters to Los Angeles to be a member of the Rams. Al says there is no trade value for Talib if everyone knows the Broncos are going to cut him anyways.
Jonathan Martin posts a suspicious picture on his Instagram story & is subsequently detained, and Al talks about bullying with the coaches & players in the locker room. DMac is surprised more players don’t stand up for each other when it comes to being a good teammate & mental health. Marcus Peters & Andy Reid are clearly not on the same page, and Adam Schefter says a deal is in place to move Peters to Los Angeles to be a member of the Rams. Al says there is no trade value for Talib if everyone knows the Broncos are going to cut him anyways. Also, we hear Dick Vitale audio on corruption in college sports & paying players to play. Ian Rapoport says the Broncos want to keep Emmanuel Sanders, and DMac wonders how the Broncos can keep both Emmanuel & Demaryius. The boys break down the DT & Dez saga, and Emmanuel Sanders’ targets & YPC.
The guys compare the stats for DT & Emmanuel, and note the WR combo was nearly unstoppable in 2014 when they were putting up Star Wars numbers with Peyton. DMac says our receivers are not nearly the same athletes now, considering their age & injuries, and Al says we know there will be a passing camp this year even if it’s initiated by Paxton. Al & DMac talk about the women’s free-skate in the Olympics, and DMac says he’s not sure how to analyze the Broncos ’17 season. Also, Al says it should be obvious from the tape last year who can play & who can’t. The Rockies first spring training game goes into extra innings, and DMac checks up on Shohei Ohtani. Also, Al & DMac discuss the possibility of Nate Solder coming back to Colorado, and if he becomes the number one priority in free agency if the Broncos are also targeting a quarterback. Al & DMac find out how many athletes they can name in the Winter Olympics, and DMac says he can’t imagine why they would have a reason to talk about it again. Al is excited for the closing ceremonies & if they will use drones.
We hear audio from the final call of the Rockies first spring training matchup against the Diamondbacks from Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Al says spring training is for the pitchers to get in rhythm, and the guys find out how far back Jonathan Martin’s story of bullying & depression goes. The guys talk about the Broncos’ hits and misses in the NFL draft, and what’s been unfolding with the Pat Bowlen trust. DMac offers some advice on the best way to operate & speculate moving forward, and Big Al mentions Peanut Tillman the FBI agent. Also, DMac says expect Trevor to be traded, Emmanuel to return and Talib to end up as a 49er or a Cowboy. DMac checks in on Troy Terry & the DU Hockey team, and wonders how Terry got any of his homework done. Big Al is getting excited for tournament basketball in two weeks, and the guys wonder how the CU Buffs will fare in the PAC-12 tournament.
