The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!! Troy Renck with Denver 7 joins the show to talk about Jared Veldheer being cleared to play after his concussion, and Josey Jewell stepping up in case Brandon Marshall is hobbled.
Big Al says the Cleveland Browns will be fighting for the AFC North division lead all year, and DMac thinks Sam Darnold will be just fine & is simply a lot younger than Baker Mayfield. The guys agree there’s no debating Mayfield’s talent, and Baker is now the hero in Cleveland with accurate passing. Also, DMac explains the ‘Chubbaholic’ mentality & why Mike Evans is petty, and says it might be the best QB class since ’83.
In the Big 3, DMac asks Big Al if Chad Kelly is the Broncos’ version of Baker Mayfield, and Big Al wonders what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to do with Ryan Fitzpatrick & Jameis Winston. Also, Big Al says Pete Carroll & Mike McCoy might be the first coaches fired.
Big Al talks about Brent Musberger’s Vegas gambling advantage, and we hear from Baker Mayfield regarding the Browns’ building blocks. Also, DMac explains to Al why Case Keenum is like Rudy & Von Miller is like a summer blockbuster.
The guys talk coaching records for 11:00am kickoffs, and DMac remembers when John Fox didn’t know what time zone he was in. DMac has trouble remembering the Colts game that Denver won on the road last year.
Al & DMac discuss the Broncos road record, and why they struggle in the mornings when they head east. Al remembers the ‘Suck for Luck’ campaign, and DMac questions some playcalling & field position last year.
The boys get into their King Soopers Fan Football Pick ‘Em, and Big Al says beware of Tyreek Hill & Jimmy G. DMac points out that he and Al agree on every pick but one, and that’s the Broncos vs Ravens game. Al notices how outstanding the Broncos have been on third down, and is afraid of the Ravens’ average PPG.
Troy Renck with Denver 7 joins the show to talk about Jared Veldheer being cleared to play after his concussion, and Josey Jewell stepping up in case Brandon Marshall is hobbled. Al asks Troy if we will see more of Vance Joseph’s style of coaching, and Troy says there’s no way we will see press coverage on the Ravens’ receivers the whole game. Listen to the interview HERE!!!
Big Al & DMac get everybody fired up for the Broncos vs Ravens game in Week 3, and the fans respond on the hotline. We hear highlights of the Broncos defense, and Al expects some sacks to come on Sunday. Also, Al expects a big day from the Broncos playmakers in Baltimore. Also, Dmac plays a game of Over/Under with Big Al regarding Case Keenum’s yards passing & Phillip Lindsay’s yards rushing.
The guys talk about things being different in the 2018 NFL Draft, and DMac plays some audio of Mike Evans talking about the quarterbacks in the draft being a disaster. Big Al is worried about trick plays with Lamar Jackson after the Ravens had ten days of preparation for the Broncos game on Sunday.
DMac mentions what an important series this is for the Colorado Rockies as they prepare to take on the Diamondbacks in Arizona, and Big Al is ready to party as we head into the fall season.
