The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!! Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post joins the show to talk about how Jon Gray is feeling after his last start, and Patrick says the Rockies will do anything to see Gray realize his full potential.
DMac opens with the Rockies, and Big Al gives a big shout-out to the Dodgers. Al notices the blocking Emmanuel Sanders got on his touchdown run, and DMac says Pat Mahomes is the truth. Also, the guys agree Marquette King’s music is better than his punting ability as Denver signed punter Colby Wadman to their practice squad today. Al says its pressure-cooker Showdown Tuesday & Big Ben was something else in the MNF game last night.
In the Big 3, DMac says there have been too many penalties in the NFL for landing on QBs, and Big Al agrees, saying it’s slowed games down, and even lost a game for the Packers.
DMac wonders if it’s time for Marquette King to hit the road, and Big Al says there is a different standard that players must meet here in Denver.
DMac dives into trade scenarios involving Patrick Peterson, and Big Al thinks Peterson is just too good for the Cardinals to give up & would cost the Broncos too much in return.
The guys are disappointed that Aqib Talib will no longer be playing against the Broncos when the LA Rams come to Denver, due to surgery on his ankle. Big Al tells DMac Talib was always one of his favorite players.
Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post joins the show to talk about how Jon Gray is feeling after his last start, and Patrick says the Rockies will do anything to see Gray realize his full potential. Patrick agrees with DMac that starting Adam Ottavino seems compelling, and Al wants to know if Kyle Freeland should receive Cy Young consideration. Listen to the interview HERE!!!
DMac gets into the Chad Kelly morning show beef with Case Keenum, and opening our minds to starting a different QB than Keenum here in Denver. DMac says any argument for another QB besides Keenum is dumb & all the chips are on the table.
DMac mentions Marquette King’s punting of late, and Big Al says coaches should never take a job in the NFL if that team doesn’t have a QB already in place. Also, DMac explains his ‘khaki pants theory.’
The guys figure out what NFL teams will be looking for a QB in the 2019 NFL Draft, including the Broncos, and Al makes DMac sick when he says Denver is looking for one. Also, Al compares Bradley Roby to Aqib Talib.
Big Al is pumped for the Rockies, and DMac notices all the rookie QBs in place around the NFL, and starts to get worried about the Bradley Chubb pick & Bill Cosby.
