Al & DMac put an end to the Bowlen trust conversation for now, and Al makes sure DMac is being a good teammate & not trying to advance Beth Bowlen’s agenda. The guys talk about Game 1 of the NBA Finals and the refs’ decision to change their call near the end of the game after review of LeBron James trying to take a charge. In the Big 3, the guys continue their conversation about the NBA Finals and give their opinions on Steph Curry & LeBron James’ pressers. Also, Big Al talks about Cleveland’s surprise pick of Baker Mayfield, and how Denver got lucky with Bradley Chubb due to Cleveland’s choices. DMac finds out from Al who the Broncos’ three-down lineman are along the defensive front, and Al explains how defensive players feel when the offense is not performing well. Derek Wolfe and Shelby Harris’ futures are deliberated.

Also, news about David Dahl breaking his foot & preparing to hit the DL for 6 to 8 weeks. The fellas break down the Broncos new-look Special Teams, and how Denver can continue to produce on the punt team with effort. We hear audio from new Special Teams Coach Tom McMahon.
