The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Vikings play-by-play man Paul Allen of KFAN 100.3 in Minneapolis joins the show to say Broncos fans should be excited about landing Case Keenum, and Kirk Cousins is likely not the one running his twitter.
DMac gets Al’s thoughts on all the news of the day, including Case Keenum & picking up Demaryius Thomas’ contract option. Al says Denver landed their Minnesota QB any way they could, and picking up DT’s option makes no sense when guys like Jordy Nelson would be a cheaper option at a cheaper price. Al is looking for players with a chip on their shoulder, and he’s not sure DT is that guy. DMac gauges interest in Cody Latimer, and Al wonders about the Broncos’ front office moves. Al says Musgrave & Lynch are like oil & water, and Denver has gotten more wrong than right. In the Big 3, Big Al & DMac discuss Sam Bradford’s deal, Jimmy Graham’s signing, the Nuggets & Avs’ shot at making the playoffs and who they’ve got in the NCAA tournament. Vikings play-by-play man Paul Allen of KFAN 100.3 in Minneapolis joins the show to say Broncos fans should be excited about landing Case Keenum, and Kirk Cousins is likely not the one running his twitter. Also, Allen says Cousins seems to be mild-mannered for the most part & the Vikings still have a few spots to fill. Listen to the interview HERE!
DMac says Case Keenum buys you time to get a young QB ready, and Al plays hypotheticals about skipping a QB in the draft. DMac says Paxton is scared to be ‘one of the guys’ and Big Al says it’s not that big of a deal. Al tells DMac a contract like Kirk Cousins wants fits better in the NBA or MLB, and DMac still has no interest in what Kirk Cousins is up to. Also, Al tells DMac when he would finally be okay with bringing Cousins to Denver. The latest with Tebow & the Mets is discussed, and Big Al laughs about Terrell Davis’ latest business venture. DMac says the Broncos are likely out on Nate Solder, and Al laughs as DMac decides Elway may have some regrets about hiring Mike McCoy. DMac wants nothing to do with Paxton Lynch, and the guys find out when the young QBs pro days will be as the NFL draft approaches. The boys discuss high school football for Lamar Jackson & Baker Mayfield, and DMac tells Al there are more Broncos connections with Mayfield & Rosen than with Jackson.
Big Al says we’ve already seen DT’s best years, why pay him now, and the pick of Garett Bolles didn’t make sense. Al wants the Broncos to consider age, and tells DMac the Pats, Browns & Texans are still trying to land Nate Solder. Al says the Broncos were never in the discussion for Kirk Cousins, and DMac says cutting Sloter was our worst nightmare. Dmac asks Al what kind of quarterback Case Keenum is, and how much influence Gary Kubiak had in getting Keenum to Denver. Al draws comparisons between Case Keenum & Kurt Warner, and says the coordinator counts when it comes to Keenum’s progression. Vikings play-by-play man Paul Allen of KFAN 100.3 in Minneapolis joins the show to say Broncos fans should be excited about landing Case Keenum, and Kirk Cousins is likely not the one running his twitter.
