The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!! JT The Brick joins the show to talk about the Raiders signing Clinton McDonald & Martavis Bryant, and Oakland’s plan of attack as they get set to take on the Broncos. Cecil Lammey joins the show to say Phillip Lindsay reminds him of Warrick Dunn, and he thinks Lindsay is for real.
DMac says we have a much smarter team this year, and it starts with Special Teams. DMac tells Al who cares if we let a couple big play opportunities go by, he’d rather play it safe. Al says Jon Gruden’s vanilla gameplan is boring, the Raiders are playing for Vegas, and Derek Carr is not Gruden’s type of QB.
In the Big 3, Big Al can’t get enough of Aaron Rodgers postgame, and says Rodgers had some help on Sunday. DMac notes how the Boston Red Sox celebrated clinching a playoff spot, and we hear audio from Jon Gruden on building the Raiders up again & winning at the same time.
JT The Brick joins the show to talk about the Raiders signing Clinton McDonald & Martavis Bryant, and Oakland’s plan of attack as they get set to take on the Broncos. Big Al asks JT why the Raiders let Khalil Mack go, and The Brick says Jon Gruden has money to spend on other holes now that Oakland didn’t pay Mack quarterback money. Listen to the interview HERE!!!
In Football @ Four, DMac says he feels for John Elway after Elway’s shoulder surgery, and Big Al is impressed with Denver’s O-Line. DMac tells Al he needs to slow his role before he thinks something special is happening in the Mile High.
Cecil Lammey joins the show to say Phillip Lindsay reminds him of Warrick Dunn, and he thinks Lindsay is for real. Al explains to Cecil why he’s not excited about playing the Raiders, and Cecil mentions the additions of Jordy Nelson & Martavis Bryant, as well as the death of ‘Raider Week.’ Listen to the interview HERE!!!
DMac says it’s good news that Phillip Lindsay & Royce Freeman will play major minutes, and Al starts gearing up for Thursday Night Football. Al tells DMac he’s not allowed to call the Raiders game an automatic win.
We hear from Case Keenum on Jon Gruden’s QB Camp, and DMac laughs at Gruden’s knowledge of quarterbacks. Big Al wonders why Jon Gruden gets to work so early, and DMac thinks it’s to check the light bulbs.
Big Al says Marshawn Lynch is in Adrian Peterson’s league, and DMac is growing tired of VJ’s clichés. Al talks about Case Keenum going to the supermarket, and laughs about Bruce Arians cursing on LIVE television. Also, Big Al has to do The Fan Pick ‘Em Shame Game & he’s not happy about what the winner ‘Ashley’ makes him repeat.
The boys take calls on Devontae Booker as the third-down running back, and Dmac tells Al to respect Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Also, DMac tells a story about his rafting guide at Fort Lewis & how Fort Lewis compares to CU Boulder, and a caller says Gruden goes in early to count his cash.
DMac gives it up for CSU after their big win over Arkansas, and Big Al gloats about the Buffs beating the Huskers on Saturday.
