BRONCOS

A wise man once said: “How’d that work out?” The Drive: 4/23/19

Apr 23, 2019, 6:02 PM

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!

In the first hour, D-Mac and Tom react to what Elway called “The Most Irrelevant Press Conference of the Year”. The guys discuss Elway’s comments regarding Vic Fangio’s role on Draft Day, Chris Harris Jr.’s contract situation and more! Tom says Von Miller’s comments on SIRIUS XM about dropping back in coverage are very contradictory. Fan Nuggets Insider Earl Boykins joins the program to break down the state of the Denver Nuggets ahead of Game 5 against the Spurs at Pepsi Center tonight.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!

In the second hour, D-Mac and Tom run through this year’s quarterback draft class. Which quarterbacks are for real and which ones will come up short at the next level? The guys discuss which quarterbacks may be a good fit for the Broncos. What do Elway’s comments on Chris Harris Jr. say about the direction the team is looking to move? D-Mac and Tom agree that Von Miller not being prosecuted for his hammerhead shark incident last year is the right decision. Tom says it would be difficult for him to sign players like Frank Clark, who was just traded to the Chiefs, if he ran a team.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!

In the third hour, D-Mac and Tom discuss what is on the horizon for the red-hot Colorado Avalanche as they wait to find out who they will face in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. What must the Nuggets to in order to take care of business at home tonight in Game 5? The guys break down John Elway’s comments from Dove Valley today.
