The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE from Radio Row in Atlanta for the Super Bowl!!!
Big Al & DMac are LIVE from Radio Row at Super Bowl 53! Big Al talks about TC McCartney making the jump to the 49ers, and the guys discuss the influx of brilliant young coaches. DMac backs Al on his idea to bring in Sean Mannion, and Al doesn’t want to give anything up for Nick Mullens. Big Al & DMac plan to go to the College Football Hall of Fame, and DMac says there can be multiple right answers when it comes to finding the right personnel.
In the Big 3, the guys talk about the Nuggets big comeback victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, and Big Al says Brandin Cooks won’t be traded after this season. Also, the idea of quarterbacks consuming Denver, and DMac asks Al what kind of guy Jared Goff is.
DMac talks about Bill Belichick’s beautiful suit, and Big Al says he knows what a NFL edge rusher looks like. The guys debate what factors tip people off as to whether a guy can play in the NFL or not.
The guys talk about the brutal temperatures at the Super Bowl, and DMac says it helps Jared Goff & Tom Brady that they are 6’5. Al mentions the College Hall of Fame, and the Pro Football Hall of fame, and why it took Terrell Owens a few years to get into the Hall.
Al & DMac go over what they learned from last night, including how new this Super Bowl experience is for the Rams. Also, DMac addresses John Elway’s presser after Vance Joseph was fired, and says any other GM would have lost their job after a performance like Elway’s.
DMac says the Broncos have to dump Case Keenum, and Big Al guarantees the Broncos are deep into the process of finding out who their quarterback for 2019 will be. Also, Big Al says the Patriots should draft whoever Tom Brady needs to get back to the Super Bowl.
DMac reminds Al that many of the Broncos’ coaches are in positions they’ve never been in before, besides Munchak. Al mentions that the Broncos went in a different direction when they had the chance to bring back experienced coaches in Gary Kubiak & Bill Musgrave. DMac says the Broncos got lucky when they landed Mike Munchak & Phillip Lindsay, but there is work to be done at the QB position.
The guys talk about the Broncos being a young team that’s going through a growth period. Al finds a place for Emmanuel Sanders on an evolving Broncos roster, and wonders if the Nuggets have hit their peak when considering their potential.
