Yeah, there, there’s some plexiglass principle involved with the Broncos here.

They rose so much last year on defense with Knicks that there almost has to be some pullback, I guess, but how could you not say this is a rise?

Like the Broncos, I was way too low on them last year.

I’ll be honest, because I didn’t really believe in Knicks coming in and The 6th quarterback drafted in his own draft class and and being a star right away, but he was, and the defense was far better than I thought it would be.

And the offensive line came together like crazy.

That’s one of the best offensive lines in football now.

So everything looks good on paper for the Broncos and again, it comes down to I underestimated Sean Payton.

I, I just As you pointed out, to Rob, like how, how many times have I ever gone under blankety blank wins, Sean Payton said.

So, uh, you just look and you say, yeah, Sean Payton is the floor to this team.

They’re never going to be bad with Sean Payton, and they’re probably going to be pretty good.

So everything on paper looks good for them.

You worry about a little bit of Pullback defense, especially improvement like that isn’t always sticky from year to year.

So you wonder, like Patrick Sertan’s not gonna win defensive player of the Year again, right?

Like that was a crazy season for that group.

Can they still be a top 10 unit though?

Yeah, probably.

And again, the offensive line gives that that that offense a really good foundation.

It’s a very good team.

And as long as you have Sean Payton, you’re gonna be pretty good.

So yeah, it’s a rise for me.

The Broncos are a good team and they should be for a while, especially if I don’t think and even if Bonis does regress a little bit, which could happen.

We’ve seen that sophomore slump.

I, I don’t think he’s going away.

I, I think this is the guy for the Broncos the next few years and he’s gonna be, he’s gonna have a really good career.

I, I, I might, I might be a repeat, by the way.

Now, I mean, I might be, cause they played over their head.

I kind of felt like they exceeded expectations last year.

Now that I hear Frank kind of walk through it again.

I’m kind of like maybe they’re just a repeat, you know, which is not bad.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing if they would be a repeat team.

Maybe that’s kind of where I am.

I think Frank talked me out of the rise and it’s the division like I can’t get them higher division.

I can’t.

I love the Chargers.

Everybody can be so to go.

Well, everybody can be because like, like, it’s the best defense in the division.

I, I, I, I can’t go down on the Broncos.

It’s the best defense in the division, so I’m, I’m rise on the Broncos.
