The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!! Adam Schefter joins the show to talk about the Broncos’ secondary & if a trade for Patrick Peterson could be in the works. Troy Renck of Denver 7 joins the show to talk about Todd Davis & the defense becoming mentally tough, and Big Al asks Troy if he’s concerned about Case Keenum’s struggles in the weather.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

Al agrees with DMac this loss to Baltimore will be the Broncos’ toughest road test all season, and Al says some comments he read over the weekend disturbed him. DMac thinks this would have been the perfect week to get Emmanuel Sanders the ball early & often, and Big Al is impressed by Justin Simmons.

Adam Schefter joins the show to talk about the Broncos’ secondary & if a trade for Patrick Peterson could be in the works. Adam asks DMac what other corners are available for the Broncos to trade for, and notes that the storyline in Denver after three weeks this season is similar to last year, but it’s about CB instead of QB. Also, Big Al finally gets a chance to read Schefter’s book, and Schefter says the Tampa Bay Bucs are for real, for now. Listen to the interview HERE!!!

In the Big 3, Big Al thinks he’s found the best young QBs in the NFL in Jared Goff & Pat Mahomes, and wonders if drafting Mahomes was simply the ‘luck of the draw’ for Andy Reid & the Chiefs. Also, DMac mentions the great weekend in Arizona for the Rockies, and Al talks about Jon Gray’s development as a pitcher.

The guys talk about the Domata Peko play, and how to avoid ‘stupid’ mistakes. Big Al reviews the dangers of jumping into the pile, and notes that this is a new rule for most. DMac is concerned about Phillip Lindsay’s discipline, and Big Al goes over some things that would have helped Case Keenum, like a dome. Also, Al says the Broncos’ Special Teams were ‘off the chain.’

 

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

Big Al thought Demaryius Thomas & Emmanuel Sanders were outstanding, as well as the Broncos’ Special Teams. DMac has had enough of Isaac Yiadom already, and Big Al takes a look at Yiadom as our new punt returner.

Big Al says a dome would have helped Case Keenum out yesterday, and DMac reviews Keenum’s biggest mistakes on Sunday. Big Al is concerned about the weather affecting Keenum’s delivery in games later this year, and DMac points out Big Al’s issues are ‘unsolvable’ with no controlled environment.

Al says the players don’t care about turnovers & interceptions, and DMac says Case Keenum needs to ‘blame it on the rain.’

Troy Renck of Denver 7 joins the show to talk about Todd Davis & the defense becoming mentally tough, and Big Al asks Troy if he’s concerned about Case Keenum’s struggles in the weather. Troy says the weather wasn’t even a factor in the second half, and Keenum simply looked rattled. Listen to the interview HERE!!!

 

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

The guys begin the final hour by DMac asking Al if it’s time for the Broncos to bench Garett Bolles. Big Al said that Von Miller would have had six sacks last game if he was going up against Bolles. Al also explains why Case Keenum didn’t have a good game yesterday.

With Keenum getting paid, shouldn’t he just go out and play and not worry about anything else? The guys tell each other who the most confident players they’ve ever been around.

The guys wonder if Case Keenum has the excitement for the Broncos in the 4th quarter.
