The Drive with DMac & Nate Jackson LIVE IN STUDIO!!! Patrick Saunders with the Denver Post joins the show to talk about the Colorado Rockies’ Opening Day rotation, and if he feels comfortable about it. Nicki Jhabvala with The Athletic joins the show from the NFL Owners’ Meetings in Arizona to talk about the Broncos’ proposed rule-changes, including a 4th-and-15 from the 35-yard line instead of an onside kick.
DMac & Nate discuss Nate’s days on the Broncos practice squad, and how he stayed alive in the NFL. Nate makes DMac laugh when he talks about convincing people he played on the Broncos, and tells DMac he was proud to play against Champ Bailey every day & prepare the defense every week. Also, Nate talks about how it all ended in a flash.
Dmac wants to know if Joe Flacco’s family will be moving to Denver, and asks Nate about the struggles with relocating. Nate says Flacco’s move won’t be too hard on the kids, and location & stability in your personal life affect how you play on the field.
Patrick Saunders with the Denver Post joins the show to talk about the Colorado Rockies’ Opening Day rotation, and if he feels comfortable about it.

Nate Jackson says Case Keenum was serviceable, but not exciting. DMac mentions the Big 4 QBs the Broncos are bringing in this year, and DMac makes sure Daniel Jones doesn’t have an unfair advantage.
