It’s a great deal. Um I’m Henry Chisum. We’re joined by RK. We also, you know, we don’t give Dion enough shout outs. Dion behind the scenes grinding this morning because I gave him 64 screenshots to put in the iPad later. Wow. decided for all of you who wanted to see the play that Shawn drew up where they moved Garrett BS over to the right side outside Mike McGllini and putrum in and Mercedes Lewis. We we decided to cut that one for time. Um so you’ll have to tune in later in the week because I think we’ll talk about some other time. Dang. Yeah, I guess we’ll What do we have now? Still 64 or now we’re down. A little spoiler. We’re going to We got to start with the punt return. Okay, which takes a lot of screenshots cuz that was a long play. Sweet. We’re digging into the gunners. We got a lot to dig into though. that in segment three. Yep. Segment three. So stay tuned for segment three. All right. Other little BTS note behind the scenes for those who aren’t as cool as us. Um BTA note would be that the Broncos beat the Raiders, right? BTR beat the Raiders. Yes. Um Benny and Dave are taping their show right now. It’s actually Benny and Justin. Oh, really? Mhm. It’s Justin. Um so I’m just going to kind of keep my ears open. If one of them says anything smart, I might just repeat it here. Nice. Yeah. Is it possible to close your ears? Not without using my hands. Okay. All right. I wonder if that’s what they’re talking about. Got to be. Probably probably talking about closing ears. Um let’s see. Where do we even start here? Broncos win. Feels pretty good, right? Yeah, it feels great. Um any So, we got all three Denver teams winning. U and someone posted a stat that that that is the first time ever that the Broncos, Nuggets, and ABS have all won on the same day. They’ve only played on the same day 11 times ever. Yeah, I saw the same stat and when we both see it and it resonates with both of us, it means it was a really good tweet and we should really credit whoever it was. I just cannot remember who that was. Stats, man. I don’t know. Oh, we don’t. Okay. If it’s just some random account. No, no, no, no. It’s not. U but I’ll find it. I’ll find it during the show and we’ll give them their credit. Uh, it’s just like you don’t know you’re going to talk about that on the show or else you put it aside and be like, “All right, let’s talk about this.” Anyways, they all won and the Chiefs lost which and the Raiders lost, right? So, that’s about as good as a Sunday could possibly be except for if the Chargers were playing and they lost too, right? I know. I mean, it really is a special day. It You don’t get those very often. And some We’re How long have the Broncos Nuggets and ABS all been playing? since like 90 96 95 96. Yep. Um so it took 30 years for this to happen. That’s crazy. It it might take another 30. Now all all three teams are good. We’ll have to check the calendar to see if it’s possible again this year cuz you think about the math. Obviously any given day 50/50 the Nuggets play. Also 50/50 the ABS play. So 25% chance you get both. Then there’s the one in seven of the Broncos. And then you factor in that like you don’t always just win every game even though it kind of feels like it at this point. And all three teams are on the road, right? Which that’ll that might never happen again. Here’s another stat. So, the Broncos have won 10 in a row. Uhhuh. Have a home game in their underdogs. Very rare. Very rare. You would think that would almost never happen, right? Other than the fact that on Sunday, the Patriots with a 10-ame winning streak are at home against the Bills and they are also underdogs. Wow. Yeah. Makes me want to make a Broncos Patriots parlay, but I know I want the Patriots to lose, so I don’t know if I’ll be doing that. Right. Okay. Um, we got to talk about this game tonight, too. Let’s talk RJ Harvey. Yes. Because I think what he did yesterday alters the potential outcomes of this season for the Broncos. Right. Up until yesterday, I was starting to think like, okay, so they’re just going to need Bo to carry the team uh come playoff time. And that’s it’s not that I don’t want to see Bo do that. And it’s not that I don’t think that he could level up, which is a word we’ve used a lot over the last three weeks, maybe month, uh to do it, probably since Sierra got to town. It’s just not ideal. It’s just not ideal, right? Uh so for R.J. yesterday. This was my main thought when I rewatched the game this morning. Do you remember all off season when I was talking about how the Broncos should go offense in the first round? I thought that they should go wide receiver. And one of the things that I said a lot was, “Who do you have to plan for when you play the Broncos offense? Who do you have to plan for?” And the answer was really Courtland Sutton or nothing. Yeah, probably nothing. Well, yeah. I mean, you you probably don’t want to like leave Courtland on an island with your corner like he’s going to moss them, but that’s like the only thing that you were really thinking last season. This season, I think you’ve had to account a lot more for Troy Franklin, uh, which was a very nice kind of development because he was open down the field a lot early in the season. Um, you after last week have to start thinking about Evan Ingram a lot more. Yep. And now after yesterday, especially, I think you really have to think about R.J. Harvey when you’re playing against the Broncos. When I rewatched the game, the word that came to my mind was dynamic. He looked dynamic in that football game and he made several plays that weren’t just like, oh, like Shawn Payeyton got him the ball in a super advantageous spot and he just took advantage of that opportunity. like no, he was making plays out of nothing with his cuts, with his uh elusiveness, and with his contact balance, right? And I think those are those are the big things. I think where we saw RJ level up is just the ability to make guys miss. Um there were a lot of times where plays looked like they were going badly, and we’re going to talk about some of them in particular in in the third segment, but he was able to make a guy miss and all of a sudden it’s it’s a solid gain or, you know, it’s supposed to be a five yard gain. He makes a guy miss and it’s a eight yard gain. And I wonder if you’re a defensive player, so much of that was his speed where you say like, “Oh, we’re going to meet right here, but he changes the angle because he’s faster than the defense expects.” I wonder if defenses learn eventually like, “Oh, R.J. Harvey is one of those guys who you treat like a fast running back, which means you need to be more conservative with those angles.” um that could be like a development that comes, but the combination of the contact balance and making guys miss it, it just adds it adds upside like whenever you give him the ball there’s the upside for a big play. Um we’ve we’ve seen some big plays from him. There have been I think three big plays from him this year. Um but yesterday for the first time it was just consistent. You give him the ball 17 times. Um and and you found the formula like it’s it’s Shawn calling some really good run plays. It’s the offensive line creating push and creating running lanes. Um creating some wide openen running lanes so you’re not asking him to think. And then RJ on the other 30% whatever it was where he needed to to find something that didn’t look like it was there. He was able to go do that often enough to keep it consistent. You wind up 17 carries, 75 yards, 4.4 yards per carry. You know, that’s not the kind of line that generally gets people like insanely fired up. Like, oh, good game. But for RJ, the rookie, in his first game where he’s getting the ball that much to be able to produce in that way, it just opens opens up a door that we were wondering if it was going to open at any point the rest of the way. Yeah, I think the play that and and Zach mentioned this a little bit on the postgame show. The play that he made on the first third down of the game, I believe it was third and two. Um Bo just kind of bails out and throws it to him in the flat. He seemingly gets blown up by Jamal Adams of all people. doesn’t go down. Spins his way out of it. Um goes 0 to 60 like immediately. Gets across the first down line. Actually gets popped again and converts the first down. And I just think I sometimes think we underrate the the early going of a football game. It feels like everything happens at the end. Um especially in the NFL where it’s a almost a one-sore game. Actually, yesterday counts as a one-sore win for the Broncos. Yep. Uh it feels like it’s a one-sore game every single week. So it feels like the game boils down to the fourth quarter. I think so often you can trace back to something that happened in the first two drives of the game and that completely altered totally the shape of the football game and that’s what I think RJ did in that play. Like that’s a three and out for the Broncos. They’re punting to the Raiders. Raiders actually had a great script. So they maybe go up 70-0 Broncos or start the game chasing. It just changes everything. R.J. made that play. And then after that, I was just like when we when I was re-watching, knowing we were talking about this today, I’m just watching him make these types of plays throughout the game where it’s just like he is squeezing one or two extra yards out of a lot of plays, which is just not something we had seen from him yet. So, yes, it’s the Raiders. you do have to take quality of competition into it, but I just love seeing that for him cuz like you mentioned, it’s not something that we had like built into our RJ Harvey spectrum of thoughts yet. Oh, totally. Uh it’s it’s what we’ve been waiting for cuz I as I’d said this week, you know, you look at the last four games, you know, last week 2.7 per carry, before that 2.7 per carry, before that 4 for9, which is 2.3, 2.5. Even those small sample size games, he just hadn’t been able to find a way to be productive on the ground. still very productive as a receiver and that didn’t go away yesterday. Um, but again, it just you you had to wonder if this was possible. Again, it is the Raiders just because you’re able to get this run game going. A lot of it is like that offensive line just pushing guys back and Jeremy Chin refusing to put his nose down and get into a play. Um, but not to name names, but we’re going to talk about him later, too. Let’s name names. Yeah. Um it it makes you know you realize it’s possible and there’ll be a bigger challenge this week going up against a Packers front that is obviously more talented. Um although without Kenny Clark, they’re talented in areas that are a little bit different than they were talented before. And I think some of what they Broncos did this week might actually translate better than people realize. But it it’s just really exciting because that was the piece as we’ve been talking about that’s been missing since JK was gone. Um, and it’s nice to be able to see Bo go out there and be efficient this week after last week. They spend so much time in empty and he’s just carving up um the defense. They’re getting into the overtime and just letting him letting him cook essentially to know that he is capable of that if needed and there’s a chance that you could get into the playoff saying, “Well, you you probably want to get R.J. 20 touches in this game.” If you’re feeling both of those two things, there’s a chance to go on a run. Yeah. I I also just love the way that Shawn Payeyton sets these like I just know he went into yesterday being like I’m going to make R.J. have a game today. Yeah. We’re going to give him over 20 touches and he is going to be responsible for us winning. Yeah. And R.J. went and took took advantage of it. And I think that Sean probably spoke that into him throughout the week like, “Hey, this is your week.” Yeah. We need you moving forward. You’re going to break out this week. Right. Yeah. He had 18 touches against Cincinnati. Um that another one where it’s hey, let’s get the kid going. Absolutely. Then 23 this week, obviously a new career high. I think it’s just good for him to be out there that much because a game’s different when you’re out there for whatever it was, more than twothirds of the snaps versus when you’re in there for about a third of the snaps, which is the case coming into this game. uh just to get used to being hit on every play, to not going to the sideline after you get a touch, to just having those repeat reps over and over. And you hope that this is just the starting point and he kind of takes off. Absolutely. All right. Uh we got a lot more to talk about. Real quick though, want to give a shout out to our friends over at Toyota. We love Toyota. Um everybody here drives a Toyota for the most part. Um we got a nice little Toyota back there behind Brian.

All right, back in the DMBR Broncos podcast presented by Bet365 where we have so much fun. Big shout out to Bet365 today. Um, and shout out to Patrick Mahomes for all the money he made me. Yes, you deserved it too after that bad beat. Just thoughts and prayers with everyone who took the bad beat of of the Broncos yesterday. We are with you. Yes, Henry is especially with you. Yep, I’m very much with you. Um, some news. Broncos signed running back Sincere McCormack to their practice squad. Um he was during my draft pod era. Um UTAP running back. Um smaller back but bursty shifty. Um why do we need a bursty shifty small back? Champton has a type. I think there’s a reason why the Broncos chose him in particular though. So he was undrafted. Started his career with the Raiders 2022. didn’t see the field. 2023 didn’t see the field. 2024 he did get on the field. First game or first at least carries at least in NFL game were against the Broncos and he had five carries for 33 yards. Little pop. 6.6 per carry. Um what team was that? Raiders. So not a good team. Wow. 12 for 64 the next week. That’s 5.3 per carry. 15 for 78 the next week. Those are against Kansas City and Tampa. Uh so it’s 5.2 per carry. um then went to Atlanta 7 for8 and that was the last time he ever touched the ball in his career until now. Um so 22, three, four, five, this is his fourth NFL season. Um so far though, 4.7 per carry a couple games. Uh 0 and five in the games he’s played. Playing for the Raiders though, I do not put that on his shoulders. No, I I I don’t really believe in running back wins. No, you don’t. No. Okay. But the good news for sincere is that uh hopefully he’s going to be able to be a part of a win. So I thought you were gonna make a joke about his name. No, I was gonna say like the Broncos are sincerely taking a a look at, you know, giving him a chance, but Yeah. Um I was more thinking about his last name, which reminds me of the first vodka I ever drank. Oh, wow. Mccormix. Woo. Yeah, that is You could pour that. You could put that in your car and it’ll start. Fun little piece of Hank trivia. I don’t drink vodka anymore because of college. Oh, same. Yeah, hard. Same. I think that happens to people. Yeah, for me it’s because of high school, but hey. Okay, that makes sense. I high school basically. It took me until my 30s to even have it in like a like I’ll have like an espresso martini or something now. I very rarely do that. But me too. It’s right. It I really got there has to be like a weird menu. I don’t go to like cocktail bar. Last time I got invited to a cocktail bar and and so it’s all in there and everybody like they’re dressed way nicer than I am. I’m in my hoodie and stuff and the waitress comes over and I was like just you don’t happen to have a cool light, do you? That’s exactly what I was thinking in my head. Yep. And she was like, “No, we don’t have cool.” And everybody like laughed a little bit and I was like, “You guys are the worst.” Yeah, that’s I don’t give me a flower and a drink. That sounds like something I need. That is tough. Yeah, you could just have a C. I went to actually went to like a beer bar one time that like prided themselves upon having beers and they didn’t have Coors Light and I was like I need to be out of here. Okay. Um let’s just What other What are takes? What’s What’s on your mind after yesterday’s game? Okay. Um the easy games are over. Okay. Yep. uh thought about that quite a bit like okay like now like that game was so oralless. It just had nothing that like moved me in any way which is kind of sad just cuz you spend all week looking forward to the Broncos playing and then it’s like it’s not their fault. Like the Raiders didn’t make them do anything cool. They just like we talked about the RJ plays. That’s about the cool stuff that happened. Nick Bonito had two sacks. Um, but other than that, it was just like, okay, like let’s get in here and get out of here, which is just weird. Um, which then leads me to being mad at the Raiders. Um, I’m mad at Mark Davis for just ruining the Raiders. So weird. I should be happy. Like, someone commented on my post about this and was like, “Yeah, I love this. Like, I never want Raiders fans to feel any joy. That’s how deep this runs for me.” And I’m like, I get that. But at the same time, it’s actually peeling away from my joy of beating them, right? Like the more right, the the more hope that they have, the more fun it is to win, right? The more that their fans are in there like going crazy in the stadium, the more fun it is to win. Mark Davis moved them into the desert and gave them this stupid stadium that’s not even that cool, right? And now it’s just a Broncos home game that we have to travel for. And it’s just it’s kind of terrible. Like it used to mean something to beat the Raiders. I said this and I truly mean this. I felt no different feeling about beating the Raiders yesterday than I did about beating the Titans in week one, right? It feels the exact same. Just a just a crap team, crap franchise that didn’t that the Broncos had no business losing to and they didn’t. Yeah, it it really is a shame because as much as like we hate the Raiders and it’s like death to the Raiders all that like the the feeling has gone away and there’s a bunch of reasons for like rivalries feeling different today and all that players don’t stick around as long. There’s all sorts of things going into it but like like we said last week or I said last week you talk about like playing somebody in a game, you get to the end, do you want to win more or lose less? Like to me it’s I want the other person to lose. Like that’s the joy to me is like you lost to me and you are a loser now. Um and with the Raiders like who are you even telling that to? There was like the one guy in the gorilla costume. There was the only they only have one guy with a painted face there. They usually have idiots everywhere with their faces painted. They’re the Raiders and it’s just like I’m supposed to they can only cry so much, you know? They there there aren’t enough tears for all of us to enjoy and it just kind of what’s the point? I know it sucks. I was at the last Broncos game in the black hole and that was my first time there and I’m so glad that I went. It it had like a feeling about it where I was like, man, this is a this is like a nasty tough place to play. It was like a It was like a misty day in the Bay Area. Um I was walking into the stadium and like this is something that you don’t see like all the tailgates were were blasting hip-hop which is like not like you will not see that in Las Vegas. No, they have a live band. It’s so stupid. Um the the parking lot smelled like weed. I was like, damn, this is sick. Like this is like its own thing. I’ve been to a Dolphins game in Miami and I’ve been I’ve been to all these places. I’m like, no one is like this. No. And as much as I hated them and I wanted them to lose, I was like, I’m I appreciate that they have their thing. Now they just have nothing. That’s enough about the Raiders. Luckily, former NFL running back James Robinson says the Broncos are winning the Super Bowl in the chat. Okay, so that’s big news. Um, yeah, I’ll throw out there. You brought you brought up me being bringing it up before the show, but I’ll say it again. Oh, yeah. This is a good take. You should say it several more times. I know. I’m too excited to say it now. It’s not going to come off natural. Um, it’s weird for the Broncos to be at this point feeling like they can win a Super Bowl when in the past it’s always been the end of an era is when they win a Super Bowl. I think that’s why it’s been tough for Broncos fans to accept. Like for a lot of teams, Super Bowls just kind of come out of nowhere. Like that Rams team was good before they won a Super Bowl, but nobody was like, “Here it comes. They’re finally going to do it, you know?” And I think there obviously examples like Patrick Mahomes that wasn’t like the culmination of years and years of hard work. It was just like, “Oh, he showed up and he’s really good and now they win Super Bowls sometimes.” I think in Denver it’s just so different because you look through the Super Bowls we’ve won here. the first one being after 15 years of questioning whether John Elway can win the big game. It’s like you have the best quarterback alive, but can he do it? And you’re you finally get to that mountaintop and there’s this long journey to get there. Um and then they do it again the next year um to cap everything off. And obviously with Payton, it’s the the same thing where you have like this whole era of football where it’s, you know, it’s Payton Manning. Can he come to Denver? Can he is he the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams? Yep. Yeah. So, like, can he do it? Eventually, it’s the broken down. You know, it’s coming to an end and he finally does it. It’s like a stamp at the end and the book is closed. That’s the weird thing. I think it’s why Broncos fans think that that’s how Super Bowls come is after like you build toward it and build, build toward it, and eventually you earn it and then you turn the page and it’s on to whatever is next. And the Broncos are just in a situation where you could go win the Super Bowl and then just if you decide you want to pay John Franklin Myers, run it back with the same team, add some draft picks, and just you’re you’re the exact same team as you were the year before. Yeah, this I mean it does kind of feel like like we’re ahead of schedule and like everything that’s happening is kind of like found money, right? Uh eventually that’s going to switch in our brains. It will. Like I don’t know if it’s the first playoff game or like winning like at at some point during this season I think it’s going to stop feeling like oh wow like here we here we are we’re just 11 and two like this is pretty cool and start to feel like hey we should probably win the Super Bowl this year right because opportunities like this just don’t just because you get it once doesn’t mean you get it a bunch of times and I actually remember talking to Steve Atwater because um they went to the Super Bowl I don’t remember these years Um, but in the 80s, yep, the Broncos make a trip to the Super Bowl and I think it was Steve’s rookie year and he was just like, “Cool, like this is just what we do.” Yeah. And then they there was a long drought before even Elway got back to another one. And I’d be interested to talk to a Broncos fan about like what they felt like after that first one. I’m sure everyone kind of felt like, okay, we got there. Yep. I think it would they uh run into the 49ers in that one. Was that the first one? At least that’s that’s might not be the first one, but it’s the one that Steve was telling me about, so it would have been his first one. Um, and I I just remember him being like, “Okay, like we’re way behind them. Like they got smacked, but like we’re really close compared to everyone else.” Yep. So, this has to be like eventually has to stop feeling like it’s just a free year, right? And start feeling like, hey, we should probably capitalize on this opportunity. I know. And I saw like there was a Chargers fan who had a tweet. I can’t remember what exactly it was, but it’s like we’d kick any of these teams asses looking at like the entire AFC playoff picture. I was like, “Wow, imagine if you were the Bills.” Like you’re the Bills knowing we are the Buffalo Bills, a proud team that every single year is near the top. And you look at the other six teams in the playoffs and you’re just like, “Oh, Patriots may be fool’s gold.” You look at the Broncos the same way because they haven’t proven it. You look through obviously the Jags. You look through the Steelers. If you look at like every one of those teams and say it’s right there. Same thing for the Broncos. Like the Broncos just go and win those games. And that’s why this next four game stretch is. I mean, we’re past the point where learning really matters. Like it it’s fun early in the year to be like, “Oh, you’re five and one. This team might be good, but we’ll see. Like, we just got to keep watching. See if they keep showing signs.” You’re to the point now where it’s like, “Yeah, you are good. It’s just are you going to go win all these playoff games?” Um, but still you get to watch what happens when you play the Packers who probably have about as good of a chance of winning the Super Bowl as anybody. Like what happens when you play the Jags who, you know, nobody really believes in them, but they’re finding ways to win games and they have some defensive pieces. Like you get to go through the the ghost of the Chiefs, which we got to talk about the game last night, too. Okay, just real quick because watching Andy Reid panic and go for it in the fourth quarter after like what it probably been like 90 minutes of real time since the Texans were able to put points on the board like we got to go for it on fourth down here and if we don’t get it we just give them the ball in field goal range in a tie game. Insane. Insane. Just handed them the game. Oh, if if he didn’t hand the game then Travis Kelce did. just desperate and honestly like looking like a team that didn’t belong there. Yeah. You know, like the the moves that they were making and the decisions that were just like Yeah. Not that of a team that has been there a lot recently. Like a team that was like, “Oh god, we’re here. Like what do we do?” I was kind of thinking like might wake up to a notification that Travis Kelce decided to call it quits. Call it quits. Like cuz he knew this was the last year. Like they’re basically out of it. He just handed him the ball twice at the end of the game. Like it was it’s so fun to watch. I love watching it. And like I just yell expletives at the screen every time they screw up. Yep. It’s great. It really is great. It really is special. Um you know what else is special? What is our great friends over Monarch. Uh we love Monarch here at DNVR. Um, between Monarch and a couple of our betting partners, I am in a very good place financially. You’re telling me?

Celebrate responsibly. Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado bear. Back into the DMBR Broncos podcast presented by Bet365. Uh, heard they might be picking up a farm here pretty soon. So, so good, good for them. Davey goes, “I bet the farm on the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl this morning.” And Matthew goes, “You’re about to lose your farm, friend.” That’s true. Oh, don’t bet on the Chiefs. Okay. Fun fact about the Chiefs right now. Yep. Uh the Broncos have a fivegame lead on the Chiefs. Is that right? That is fun. Um Yep. Broncos have a fivegame lead on the Chiefs plus a tiebreaker. That is a larger lead on the Chiefs than the Chiefs have on the Titans. Ooh, Chiefs are closer to the Titans than the Broncos. Chiefs are closer to the Titans than the Broncos. The Chiefs have a fourame lead on the Titans for last place in the division or last place in the conference. That feels good. You know what else feels good? All these plays that we get to watch. Um, shout out to Dion for putting them all together. Um, presented by N Credit Credit Union. Uh, our favorite. Inside scoop. Yes, the inside scoop. They’re the best. We’re the best. It’s a perfect partnership. Um, we got to start with the punt return. Um, okay. Cuz how could you not? Sure. So, this is what made it an easy game for the Broncos. Absolutely. So, first interesting decision the Broncos made. So, a lot of the time you think punters backed up, we might try to block this. Mhm. And so, you put everybody up on the line of scrimmage to try to rush. Not the Broncos, though. They leave two jammers on the outside. They’re trying to set up a return because they’ve got the backtoback allpro punt returner. We’re gonna focus in on this little battle up here. where you’ve got Jade Baron and Devin Key going up against some random Raider guy. Next play. So you’ll see he goes for the outside release. They know they’re punting it off to the right, which is why you get the inside release from this guy and they’ll kind of leak around this way, too. Um, but we’re watching this battle up here. So Jade gets hands on him and actually kind of grabs him and just tosses him out of bounds, which is a great start. And you’ll see he’s right here in bounds as he’s being tossed. Winds up four or five steps out of bounds. Um, now he’s trying to get back in here and he’s able to get back in past Devin Key. Um, but you kind of want two of the three. Like he get the jam off the line, toss him out of bounds, he’s able to get in three, but what that means is he’s still way up here and there’s no way he’s forcing the fair catch because you did such a good job between Devin Key and Jade Baron just sticking him out there. Then the other thing you can kind of notice here is where all the leverage is. So, if you look at these two, you kind of got, look, it’s the white, the Broncos on the outside. You got the Broncos on the outside, got the Bronco on the outside, Bronco on the outside, Bronco on the outside with this guy, these two on the outside, which means if Marvin can get to the Bronco side of all those guys, you got a big return. Now, everything gets a little bit congested here. We’re changing angles a bit, but you can see all three of these guys are blocked up pretty well. That’s Jade with that gunner we were talking about. Um, again, this is the guy who kind of gets hands on Marvin, but he’s not he’s not able to get like a clean hit on Marvin because Chris Abrams drain. This is the gunner from the other side. Chris Abrams drain’s able to like push on him enough to make it not clean. You’re going to get the pursuit from these two to make it a little bit tougher. Um, so there’s the attempted tackle right in here. Marvin gets through and then like we said, you got leverage all the way and all you need Jail Skinner make the block. He makes the block and you’re into the end zone with the mile high salute. Marvin said the reason he goes for the mile high salute because his nickname in the receivers room mile high Marv. Mile High Marv. That’s pretty good. It is pretty good. And I love this by the way. Something uh what’s the thing they’re saying? Hashtag noticing. Oh yeah, something I’m noticing. Oh boy. Marvin Mims in December. Mimsmber. Marvin Mim. Marv Simber. Marv Marv Simber. Marv Simber could be on the table because he balled out in December last year. He did. Uh to the point where everyone was like, you don’t even need a draft a wide receiver. You know, Marvin Miz, he was on pace for,200 yards 48. Yeah. Uh yeah, right. Who would say that? Um so not me, I’ll tell you that. But Marv Sber could be a thing. Maybe Shawn just saves his Marvin Mims plays until December. Mile High Marv. Mile High Marv. Mile High Marv. not just Mark Sunbury. All right. Um we’re gonna we’re gonna dig into some R.J. Harvey stuff here because that’s kind of the story of the day. Um this is the pass. This is the first drive when he breaks the tackle. You see there’s Jamal Adams right here. Um RJ Harvey right here. Broncos do a fun little thing. They put him out in like this little fake motion. Motion him out. But look, Jamal doesn’t follow. So what does that mean? It’s not man coverage. You’ve got all figured out. You got numbers out here. Bo sees it. Uh but what actually happens is So now he’s back in there. They runs out there. Bo’s throwing it because of the pre- snap read. Jamal’s coming. Jamal knew that the motion was a fake. Wow. He knew that that was just like they aren’t actually like throwing this right here. They’re just testing it. I’m not going to show him. And because he’s a veteran in the NFL, he knows to do something like that. And that’s fantastic. It’s football is such a chess match, man. It’s beautiful. It really is great when you break it down at this level. By the way, it’s also to the boundary, uh, which gives him the ability to do that because he’s like, even if they go throw over there right now, I I have a defender over there, which is the sideline, right? Um, so now you can see here’s the ball in the air right there. Um, you’ve got R.J. trying to make the catch. You’ve got Jamal Adams, one of the scariest men in the NFL three years ago, coming bearing down on him. Not ideal. This is the kind of play where it’s like, ah, this might be the last we see of R.J. today. And then you see he gets blasted by Jamal. He’s like he’s turning sideways here. Like he is on his way to the ground before somehow he’s able to throw him off. Uh you’ll see he’s what he’s at the 34 there. Gets all the way up to the 40. Picks up an extra six yards after that. Converts it. Broncos go down the field, score an opening drive touchdown. Game changer right there. Yes. Literal game changer. Literal game changer. And it’s like you see these running backs do these drills of like putting their hands on the ground and like pivot around with their feet. Uh and then you just like see it in actual action like the ability to just contact balance. The ability to keep your balance through contact uh and get a low center of gravity so you don’t go to the ground is a very good ability that he has at a high level in spades as some would say. In spades. I wouldn’t understand what that means exactly but right. Um so Broncos obviously a shotgun. You got a bunch of guys up at the line of scrimmage. Don’t know who’s coming, who’s going, but you kind of do because the guys who are going are actually standing up right there. Um, so you’ll look at Jeremy Chin. So he’s got Bale out of here. He’s responsible for the flat. So he’s just sprinting all the way out here with his back turned because he has to get to the flat. He’s still going out there. He’s still looking this way trying to get to the flat. Um, and why is he trying to get to the flat? Because that’s where R.J. Harvey is going to be. So, you’d think maybe if you’re Jeremy Chin, just maybe take a peek at the guy who is the reason why you’re sprinting so hard out there. Um Bo gets the ball to RJ. Plenty of space. Uh he goes up there, makes Jeremy Chin miss. Um you’ll see a sticks right here at second down. So, we don’t need to get there. He does it though. He gets to the sticks because he will make a guy miss. A lot of like R.J. getting to the sticks plays in this game. He always gets to the sticks. Yeah, R.J. sticks Harvey. Maybe. Maybe we’ll work on it. I don’t know if that’s going to stick. Uh, it might not stick. Uh, okay. Under center now. More RJ Harvey. We’re getting into some runs. Um, you see this is just so easy. Everybody’s just blocked, blocked. He’s going to be blocked. Blocked. Blocked. Blocked. Blocked. Blocked. Jeremy Chin up here. Not a threat. Uh, cuz he’s always way back there and just washed at this point. Um, maybe, maybe. Um, but it’s just so easy like what you you are more talented than the other team in every one of these matchups. And so you just go win if you’re RJ. You have a lead blocker. You don’t even have to think. Follow the lead blocker. Uh can kind of watch Watenberg just watch this guy out. Kind of fun. Kicks him all the way out here. Gets the cut back. Uh Jeremy Chin decides he’s going to be involved now. Good for him. Um a little narrow with the hole, but again, it just we got numbers. We’re pretty good. We’ve got a running back who can push forward for another yard and it turns out to an easy gain of five. You just do it over and over and over again. I’m going to think more about the sticks nickname. Yeah, because sticks is usually something that uh a nickname for someone with like who has like skinny legs. So then it would also be funny because R.J. has the opposite of legs. He does. He’s one of the many Quadzillas. Yes. Everybody’s Quadzilla. If you combine that with the fact that he always gets the sticks, it might actually be a good nickname. Harvey kind of goes crazy. It might be. I kind of like it. Um here’s another one. It’s just it’s just well blocked. Um get the hand off this way. You got the double team here. He’s going to get off onto the linebacker. RJ’s going to do a good job pressing this hole though. So, so that Deon White doesn’t know. You can kind of cheat outside. Again, there is somebody who could help. Our friend Jeremy Chin. Um, just happened to be as I was going through. It’s like, oh, there’s that number 11 again. Uh, but yeah, just I mean, good blocks across the board. RJ presses the hole. So, Deon has to step up. Just cuts off the back hip. That’s really close. Don’t go fill fill the hole. And then next thing you know, he’s just off and running. Almost. Yeah. So, he changes changes the angle a bit on these guys because just the speed. So, he’s able to get whatever was 17 yards, I think, on that one. Just being ankle tackle away from being to the crib, too. Yep. Um here’s Okay, so we we had some good plays. Here’s one that actually is a good play, but it just wasn’t necessarily good for the right reasons. So you’ll look another eye formation. Um got the kick out block from the fullback. You kind of got blocks all across the board. Um and RJ does what he sometimes does. I you don’t mind him pressing outside. You kind of see this little space developing. But this is one where Devin White’s already in this hole. You’ve got safety helping. This guy’s got your edge set here. So there’s there’s nothing going on out here. Meanwhile, you look back this way. I wouldn’t say there’s a huge lane, but this is one where JK Dobbins back in the day kind of bounces and bounces and bounces and then hits something and goes. RJ just kind of follows that big space. Turns out not a good look cuz you you got the one-on-one right there and it’s actually kind of a twoon-one. Eventually, this guy’s going to come help. He is RJ Harvey though, which means that he makes that guy miss and uh then you kind of split these two and wind up with a solid four-yard gain from buried back there. That’s That’s exactly what we need to see. I know. It’s It’d be nice if you were like finding these little gaps and and making guys miss at the end of plays and it was turning like five yards into eight yards. But hey, if you’re going to make a mistake and it’s going to turn zero into four. Not bad. Could have been a lot worse. Yeah. Um just goes to show it’s not perfect. And then here’s the touchdown. This was my favorite of the day. U more eye formation again. Like oh, you kind of see a space here. So what’s he going to do? You kind of have these two holes, right? like you’re not really able to bounce it this way cuz you got help and some leverage and some leverage. The edge is kind of set. Um so you kind of could go this way. Maybe you try to get all the way out here, but this guy’s right here to help this guy’s right here help. So what do you do? Take that step toward the hole. Look, he’s dead to rights. Unless you just kind of nuzzle your way up into this tiny little crease that nobody would ever see except for JK Dobbins. Um look at that. Just gets so skinny to get up through there. Um it gets what is it the one and a half or so? um as he kind of buries convoy though and everybody pushes and there he is getting into the end zone. So good. That’s vision. That’s vision. You’re right. Um and then last one. That was it for RJ, but we got we got to see the no look. Um ah yes. Yeah. Have to see the no look. Uh so that’s Bon Knicks. Ever heard of him? Um he’s going to take the snap. He’s going to look to the left. There’s nothing there. It’s all It’s all all ugly. So what does he do? He looks over to the right. And uh I think we actually might have one more shot. But as you can see, linebacker Devin White is moving this way because he sees the eyes going this way. Um Bo throws it. There’s the ball. It’s coming out this way. But you can look at the little Bronco logo. He’s looking over here. And then what happens? There’s the catch from Courtland Sutton. No one in the area. He just cleared the whole thing out with a no look pass. Oh, it’s so good. Um, that’s the inside scoop presented by our friends over at Ant Credit Union.

Back into the DMV Broncos podcast presented by our friends over at Bet 365. Um, speaking of bet 365, uh, game tonight. Yeah. Slight underdog Chargers. Yeah. At home. Yeah. Yeah, for whatever that’s worth against against the Eagles on the road against the Eagles essentially. Essentially, I I’ve decided we are cheering for the Eagles obviously. But there was a moment where I was thinking, do you just want the Chargers to get the win so that they can stay in the playoff race? Like make it make it even harder for the Chiefs, make it harder for the Ravens. Bills probably don’t drop out, but part of them dropping out would be obviously staying behind the Chargers because that’s a team you kind of want in the playoffs. But again, then you narrow the lead to two games and so if the Chargers beat you, then it’s down to one game and they have the tiebreers. So all it takes is one more. So you do you do want the Eagles to win basically? Not quite. But you almost clinch the division if they lose. Almost because that’d be a three-game lead. Yeah. With four games to play, right? So you’d have to you wouldn’t have to lose out. If you went one and three and they won out, then they would get it. Yep. Yep. So we’re rooting for the Eagles. I mean, I’m already rooting for the Eagles in my house. Um, yeah. My girlfriend’s going with your wife to watch the Eagles potentially. I heard they were. Yeah, I heard that, too. Okay. Um, I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know. Okay. Well, that’s an off air conversation. Yes. Uh, anyways, I’ll be pulling for the Eagles. I really, there’s very few situations where I’d ever pull for the Chargers. You mentioned uh during the break Adam. I always mention Adam Prrentice. Two very conflicting thoughts about Adam Prrentice this morning. Um the first thought I had was wow he’s playing really well. Like when he first came in for Michael Burton I was like this is a huge downgrade. Yeah. Uh and then he’s just gotten better throughout the entire season and now he’s like equal if not better. Right. Valuable doing all the things Burton did. like using him in shotgun and pass protection when it’s third and long. Like those are things that you didn’t see him do early in the year, but now the trust is building. He’s actually getting the ball. He’s I think he’s more productive with the ball in his hands than Burton is. Burton just had all the other stuff that was like maybe more important for a fullback. Kind of has like a little bit of acceleration, right? There’s a little dare I say juice. A little bit. And speaking of juice, it’s funny you say that. My next thought was, is there any like sick fullbacks the Broncos could draft? Because not that I’m trying to replace Adam Prentice, I was just thinking about how cool it would be to be like one of the teams that has like the really dope fullback like Kyle used check juice when he was younger, right? Um, but I just don’t think there are I think the the fullback pipeline has completely dried up. I know Hunter Lepki from North Dakota State was the last one that I was just in love with. I think I think he’s still playing well for the Cowboys there. It’s tough. You kind of gota watch the tape to know because I don’t think I guess he had a 36 yard rushing game this season which is pretty good. Oh no, receiving which is also but I I it seems like every couple years there’s one. This year there was like the Bama guy whose name I don’t know because Dre kept saying it wrong. Um classic D, right? He was saying Oats. So there’s something that’s similar to the name Oats but certainly isn’t. Um yeah, I don’t know. draft season. We should talk about it. Yeah, it is interesting that we take, oh, your fullback looks really good, which is fun, and turn it into we should draft a fullback. That’s what I mean. There couldn’t be unfair to Adam Apprentice. But I was thinking like, what if we had just like one of those really sick fullbacks, right? It would be awesome. And I’ve had that thought like usech check would be unbelievable. Like it’s just so hard to put a value on that though. It’s like what do you trade for a Kyle use, right? Well, it’s very similar to it’s actually this has kind of changed, but like early days of fantasy football, there was like three elite tight ends. Yep. And then no one else was like a fantasy guy. And it was just like if you have one, you’re set and if you don’t, you’re kind of screwed, right? It’s like the Broncos did a pretty good job of finding Adam apprentice once Michael Burton got injured because totally he’s I would say above a replacement player at this point, but be sick if you had the the Tony Gonzalez of a fullback. A fullbacks. Yeah, it would. I I’m curious to see how that plays out because like Michael Burton is the oldest player on your team, so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if you turn the page there. Yeah. Um he was also what PFF had him as the best fullback in the NFL last year. And so those are offseason conversations for people who watched every single fullback snap and know what’s going on there, right? Instead of us just saying like, “Wow, that fullback sure does look nice.” Um, yeah. I I’m curious to see what they do moving forward cuz one of the things Sean said yesterday is that it wasn’t like an identity shift in them going so heavy. You know, you didn’t see a lot of Troy Franklin out there. Um, didn’t see a lot of Marvin Mims there. Was a lot of Lil Jordan Humphrey. It was a lot of Adam Troutman. Not much Evan Ingram. A lot of Mercedes Lewis, right? A lot of Mercedes Lewis. He had a couple one-on-one matchups with Max Crosby. I know. And a couple of them didn’t look so good. No, but a couple of them did. Right. And so it’s one of those you really have to figure out what ratio you’re looking for. Um but yeah, so to see that after they were a lot more open offensively the week before is interesting. Um especially because I think both worked for them like the offensive back weeks and two very different styles looked very good. And I don’t know whether down the stretch, I’m sure you you obviously game plan and figure out what you think is going to work best each week, but in some ways you kind of just want to have some sort of identity and say, “Here’s here’s who we are and here’s what we do and we’re going to be able to lean on this.” Yeah. I think the identity of Shawn Payeyton teams is that they are malible, right? And it’s it’s a it it it’s a blessing and a curse, I think, but I look at it much more of a blessing than just like this is what we do and then you run into a team who’s really good at stopping what you do and then you lose. Um I think the way that the reason one of the reasons why the Broncos, everyone says, “Oh, they’ve won so many different ways is because of Shawn Peyton.” Yep. He knows how to scheme to what you don’t do well. Um the Buffs just hired a new offensive coordinator. They did. Who I’m incredibly excited about. And I watched every video on YouTube that he’s been in for like the last eight years. And uh one of the things that he said, which is just such a sicko thing to say, but he said, “If anytime we go up against a team, I look up their defensive coordinator and I watch every touchdown they’ve ever given up as a defensive coordinator.” I like it. And then I create stuff that’s going to work against that. That’s what Sean’s Pton Sean Payeyton does. He looks at what you do poorly and finds ways to exploit it with his guys. And that’s better to me than just being like, we’re smashmouth. We’re going to put Mercedes Lewis and Adam Troutman and Lil Jordan Humphrey out there and we’re just going to beat you at it because it sounds really good until you like I don’t know if that’s going to work against the Packers, right? Until you might have to air it out a little bit, right? And the bar for working is also just lower in a game like that. You know, like in this game, the expectation was, you know, you should you should be pushing for 30 points. Like you should be putting up five yards every play. You know, against the Packers, a very, very good defense with a pretty good offense, too, which is why they’re so tough to beat. You know, they’re you’re not going to totally avoid the three-andouts, you know, like those those will come back. It’s just limiting them. Mhm. Um I’m curious to see how that all plays out. Uh let’s let’s do some super chats before we get out of here. Absolutely. Super chats from Mile High Singh. Uh fellas, the name for this defense should be the butchers of Mile High. Shout out Omaha Stakes. Go MVR. Go Broncos and LFB. I kind of like it. Again, like meat packing history in Denver. That’s kind of like what we’re all about here. That was that was an era. Yeah. I’m not in. No, not to butchers them. I’m just going to be honest. Like I appreciate the super chat, but I’m not in. Uh to me, it comes down to Orange Rush or Supermax. Uh and as much as I think the Supermax defense is a sick name, I don’t envision it catching it on catching on. So, I just I want to go with like yes, it’s a it’s a branch off an existing tree, but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s the Broncos tree, so it’s the orange rush. So, here’s here’s how we make supermax defense a thing. Yaya, if you’re listening, um, we’re going to make a well, if he’s maybe there was a down there. Um, maybe uh maybe we make a graphic and so like let’s just say they shut down Jordan Love in the offense. So, graphic is he was this big prison. It’s like dark and it’s like that and in front you’ve got uh like the guards leading Josh Jacobs and Jordan Love and all them like into the prison, but you can see in the windows of the prison that Patrick Mahomes is in the prison and like uh Justin No, you lost to Justin Herbert. Uh Cam Ward’s in the prison. Um and yeah, Jaylen Herz is in the prison. Yeah, this is uh it could be a good graphic. It could be. and it could really catch on and then we’re the supermax defense. It could be. So, yeah. Yeah, if you’re listening, wherever you may be. Um, that’s that’s the plan here. Yeah. RIP or whichever way we’re looking. Is good. Yeah. Okay. Um, more super chats. Wild Cowboy, shout out Wyoming. We’re big fans of that state. R.J. Harvey was like locked up by the supermax defense. Locked up. Yeah. Uh, RJ Harvey was getting his pads low and hitting the gaps with power. It was successful. Good job, coaches. Yeah, there’s he has after contact juice, whether it’s like ankle contact, whether it’s shoulder, like he’s finding ways to get extra yards, which is a big part of the job. And it’s what we loved about him coming out of college. It’s like, okay, he’s quote unquote small, but he’s not built small, right? I mean, Shawn Peyton said last last night, you know, we drafted the runner, not the receiver. Like, we wanted him because of his ability to run the football, not because of what he can do. He brought Alvin Chimera, they drafted as a receiver um for those skill sets. and we all offseason got to say no, he’s really good. Like he has this pitching, he has this balance, he has the burst. Um, and we’re just kind of waiting and waiting for it to show up. Uh, when he just gets handed the ball in the back field and to finally see it just feels so good. It’s crazy that they drafted the runner, not the receiver, and now I believe them. Um, but the receiver is like elite pushing elite at least. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you wonder I just the catches that he makes like like Bo is not afraid to put some speed on the ball when he throws it to RJ, right? And it hasn’t hurt them at all. No. And that mean big games are all about making big plays and I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these playoff games you see RJ Harvey catch a wheel route that winds up. Same thing with Marvin Mims. Yeah. Like there’s you have a bunch of these guys. It’s just finding ways to make them pop. David Robinson, absolute legend. Wow. Um, wow. The whole Robinson family in the chat, right? Yes. Yeah. Uh, at what point can we really start to look at Troy Franklin’s drops and see them as a problem? I kind of think that they brought in Elijah Moore as insurance in case it continues. Your thoughts? Um, they are a problem. It felt like he was past it and then now like yesterday it was ugly. He was fighting the football. He was. And I even like his catches were like un uncomfortable catches. I agree. And I think that that’s something that you know it’s it’s who he is until it isn’t you know and I think that as of now you look at him and say what does he bring to the table? He’s very fast which means can stretch the field opens things up for other guys. He can make plays downfield on screens. He’s electric. Um drags get on the catch and run. a lot of things that you can do with him, but there are downsides like, you know, the route running still coming along and the drops. You hope that that scouting report changes, but if you’re Shawn Peyton, figuring out how you want to use him, that’s factored in. And there might be plays where you go to Marvin. There might be plays where you go somewhere else because of it, but he’s also what your second leading receiver at this point. So, I know it’s it’s weird. The the hard part is just that you you he’s open, right? So, you have to throw it to him. Yep. Overtime. Because we have two more super chats. got hit. Um, including from Neem Dog. Love the performance from Adam Apprentice. Who didn’t? I I was actually I can’t remember who I was talking to this about. Oh, Scotty J. Scotty Gange. That’s who I was talking to it about. Uh, I think um I’m of the belief that everybody thinks they like a fullback until the team actually uses the fullback and then you’re like, why are we always out there and 22 personnel running for three yards over and over and over again? They like the idea of the fullback. After yesterday, I’m kind of shifting a little bit where I think people actually really did enjoy fullback football yesterday because people don’t enjoy it as much as they say they do. You just reminded me my third Adam apprentice thought from this one. Oh, good. Um, which was I hope people remember all the times it works. It worked. The one time the fullback dive doesn’t work. Yes. Because people are going to lose their minds. What are you doing? What are you calling? But like fullback dive with Adam apprentice, I think, is like four for four this year. Yeah. Uh other in short yardage. Yeah, in short yardage. That third and nine when they gave it to the fullback was a little crazy. That wasn’t really in London. That more recent I think. No, I think it was in London back draw. I think it was. Yeah, I actually do think it was. Not my favorite. Um Neem Dog, the rivalry is over for us, but Raiders fans would burn down the city if they beat the Broncos. Also, triple Denver parlor yesterday. Hit like a truck. Yeah, I included AB as minus one and a half like an absolute sucker cuz I didn’t like the juice. Um, they didn’t get the empty netter. Real bummer. You reminded me I had another football dream a few nights ago that I was going to bring up on a watch along because I thought it’s more like watchalong content than actual important podcast content. But Champ hatton gave me the play and I was playing quarterback. Um, and it it was so it’s like kind of like fun seven on seven just meet up playing in a park. Um, and actually actually I didn’t know the play was calling plays in the park. Yeah. And so it’s like all these loves ball, right? and it’s like the Broncos receivers and all that. And so this I rotate in for whoever the quarterback is and they’re like, “Okay.” Um, and they expect me to call play is what it was. And I turned around and I was like, “I don’t know any of the plays.” He’s like, “You’re the quarterback and you don’t know the plays.” Um, damn. And then I woke up. It’s always never happy ending in my football dreams. Um, that’s just like in real life. Actually, that one I feel like I can diagnose the psychology. I think so. I also had We don’t need my dreams. That’s going to do it for today. We’re going to be back tomorrow with more. Um, shout out to Dion. We really put him through the ringer. By we, I mean me. Um, but he he really held up. That’s why we call this company Dion VR. A shout RK. Shout out Bet 365, our presenting sponsor. I’m Henry. And we’ll see you tomorrow. God bless Boon. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
