The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE IN STUDIO!!! Adam Schefter joins the show to talk about Joe Flacco coming to Denver, and when Fangio & Elway might have fallen in love with Flacco.
Big Al tells DMac he’s happy with the move for Flacco, and Flacco knows this offense better than Nick Foles. Al says the Broncos can’t even have khaki pants Keenum as a backup, and DMac says going after Flacco is a very John Elway, win now thing to do.
Adam Schefter joins the show to talk about Joe Flacco coming to Denver, and when Fangio & Elway might have fallen in love with Flacco. Schefter tells Al & DMac there is no plan for Case Keenum right now, and the Broncos are waiting to see what happens with the QB market. Also, DMac asks Schefter if he can see a scenario where the Broncos keep both Flacco & Keenum. Listen to the interview HERE!!!
In the Big 3, DMac says trading for Flacco is the quickest way to get back to the playoffs, and Big Al wonders if Duke Basketball is must-see TV now. DMac talks about the remaining dominos that will fall in Denver, and Al marvels at Dwayne Haskins’ big arm.
Al says if Case Keenum was going to be under center in 2019, he would have been bombing on the Broncos all season. DMac reminds the listeners that the Broncos can still disappoint everyone, and we listen to a Barbra Streisand tribute to Case Keenum.
DMac says the cupboards could be bare for the Broncos in 2020, and the guys take a look at the Broncos updated playoff & Super Bowl odds for 2019. Big Al starts to wonder if Flacco has lost it, and DMac reminds Al that the Broncos once again raised ticket prices. The guys take calls asking thumbs up or thumbs down on the Flacco deal, audibles being made at the line and Bolles being considered a misfire.
DMac tells Al Herbert, Fromm & Tua give you a chance to win in 2020, but it looks like the Broncos are trying to win now with Joe Flacco. DMac says the Broncos are all-in with Emmanuel Sanders, and caught a break when Sanders tore his Achilles. Big Al says Case Keenum will go down as one of the worst free agent signings in Broncos history, Kyler Murray could be the truth and John Elway is easy to read.
The guys take calls on the optimism in Denver surrounding Flacco. Big Al talks about the hardest thing to do in football as a starting quarterback, and says we are now chasing the Chiefs.
DMac says the Broncos should have played Paxton Lynch instead of Case Keenum this year, and Al says we would have been set up nicely for the draft this year if Paxton was our quarterback. Al says Joe Flacco makes sense in Denver because he knows the offense.
