The Drive with Big AL & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!!
Antonio Brown says it’s time to move on from the Steelers, and Big Al wonders if Brown would be a good fit in Denver. DMac suggests Chris Hogan as a FA WR instead, and the guys pick their rightful free agent QBs to lead the Broncos attack in 2019. Big Al goes with Nick Foles, DMac picks Flacco, and rips Mike Evans’ khaki pants strategy of drafting Will Grier or Ryan Finley as the starter & not as a backup. DMac says Mike Evans is now backing up instead of circling in.
In the Big 3, DMac asks Big Al about the players around the NFL recruiting Antonio Brown, and Big Al is proud of the Denver Nuggets & their home record. Jeffery Simmons tears his ACL ahead of the NFL Draft, and Al tells DMac Simmons can still help an NFL team. Also, Bill Belichick’s boat story, and Colorado Rockies pitchers & catchers report.
Al & DMac talk about little people playing well, and Big Al wonders why the Broncos don’t spread the field with small receivers like Emmanuel Sanders, DaeSean Hamilton & River Cracraft the way the Patriots use Edelman.
In Football @ 4, Big Al gives mad props to Eric Decker, and says DaeSean Hamilton is nothing like Eddie Royal. Big Al tells DMac what adding a player like Antonio Brown does to your team, and what being a big-time player in big-time games is like.
Big Al says it’s a problem when a WR thinks they can say anything they want like Antonio Brown, and DMac mentions the type of guy Ben Roethlisberger is. The guys decide if Pittsburgh is in big trouble with two of their top three athletes wanting out in Brown & Bell.
Big Al mentions underdog stories like ‘Rudy’ to DMac, and says sports agents remind him of the movies. Also, Al & DMac agree kickoffs are pointless in football now, and Big Al wants to adopt the college kickoff rules.
The guys talk about Zion Williamson & his Duke Basketball team, and why all the games are on television. DMac takes a look at the Colorado Rockies’ TV schedule, and Big Al remembers calling into Irv Brown’s show. Also, Big Al says watch out for the Texans if they land LeVeon Bell.
Al & DMac talk about Kyler Murray going to the Jags in Maurice Jones-Drew’s mock draft, and Big Al is high on D.K. Metcalf from Ole Miss. Also, DMac says there is no way Kyler Murray is coming to Denver.
