Big Al & CJ Podcast

Big Al and CJ kick things off with the weather and a huge Broncos-Chiefs matchup at Mile High. They debate which team needs the win more and whether Denver’s defense gives them a real shot against Patrick Mahomes. The conversation turns to Bo Nix and Sean Payton’s offense — is it too complicated, or just underperforming? Then they tackle the Colorado Buffaloes’ loss at West Virginia and the rise of freshman QB Juju Lewis, with Al arguing to protect his redshirt while CJ insists it’s time to hand him the keys. They also discuss Travis Hunter’s injury, Amarion Miller’s breakout, and how CU’s future is shaping up under Coach Prime. The show closes with a heartfelt tribute to Michael Ray Richardson and a salute to all veterans.

Big Al and CJ dive into a tale of two programs — one surviving on defense, the other trying to find its future on offense. The Broncos’ 8–2 record may look good on paper, but their double-pass fiasco, missed field goals, and lack of offensive rhythm have fans uneasy. CJ argues it’s time for Sean Payton to embrace the run game and stop overcomplicating things, while Al questions if the Bo Nix experiment is already plateauing.

Then it’s on to the Buffs, where all eyes are on five-star freshman Julian Lewis as he takes over at quarterback. The guys break down what to expect against West Virginia, the risks of starting him on the road, and why this game could define not just the season — but the next era under Coach Prime.

Big Al & CJ open with some light-hearted banter about Colorado’s sunshine and Daylight Saving Time before jumping into the Broncos’ latest statement win — a road victory over the Texans that pushes Denver to 7–2. They question how much better this offense can get, while praising a defense that’s playing “as good as any Broncos front ever.” The conversation shifts to Bo Nix’s consistency, a fiery “redraft” of the 2023 QB class, and what separates the Broncos from the true title contenders. In the back half, they turn to college football and examine the Buffs’ freefall, debating whether JuJu Lewis can revive the program and what Deion Sanders must change heading into next year. They close by previewing the upcoming Raiders game, warning Denver not to fall into a trap before a massive Thursday night showdown with the Chiefs.

In this episode of The Big Al & CJ Podcast, the guys break down a tale of two weekends in Colorado football. They start with Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes getting embarrassed in Salt Lake City — their most lopsided loss under Coach Prime — and why the team seemed completely unprepared after the bye. Then the conversation turns to the Broncos, who dismantled Dallas with balance, execution, and swagger. Al shares how ownership, coaching, and player development have made Denver one of the NFL’s most complete teams, while CJ pushes back on whether that’s sustainable without Pat Surtain. They also dive into Riley Moss’ performance stepping in at cornerback and a spirited debate over race and opportunity in the NFL that only Big Al & CJ could have.

Big Al and CJ are back — lotion jokes and all — breaking down a big weekend for Colorado football.

The Buffs head to Salt Lake City to face Utah after a bye week, and the guys debate whether Caden Solder can take the next step against a physical Utes team. They talk injuries on both sides, what Pat Shurmur’s offense needs to do to stay balanced, and why turnovers are the key to pulling off a road win.

Al also reacts to Coach Prime’s bold “portal scrimmage,” calling it a trendsetting move that shows real compassion for players entering the transfer portal. That sparks a deeper conversation about loyalty, leadership, and what makes Prime’s staff different from the rest of college football.

Then it’s back to the NFL — the No. 1 offense meets the No. 1 defense as the Cowboys come to Denver. Can Vance Joseph’s defense get pressure on Dak Prescott? Will Sean Payton finally commit to the run game with Javonte Williams? And yes, Al really does compare J.K. Dobbins to Eric Dickerson.

Alfred Williams and Charles Johnson relive one of the wildest Broncos comebacks ever — the 33-point fourth quarter eruption against the Giants. Al admits he was already “bottoms up” when the magic started, while CJ wonders if this was just luck or the return of true Mile High Magic with Bo Nix leading the way.

The guys debate whether this win means Denver can actually challenge the Chiefs, and discuss what Max Crosby to Dallas could mean for the NFC. Then they take a nostalgic turn, revisiting Colorado’s infamous Fifth Down Game against Missouri — from slick fields to stolen goalposts — before pivoting to this week’s Buffs matchup at Utah.

Things get heated when the conversation turns to Penn State firing James Franklin, the fallout from the Sandusky scandal, and the changing values of college football. Al opens up about recruiting visits, etiquette lessons at CU, and the “$900 gas money” story that still cracks him up.

It’s a wild one from start to finish on this week’s Big Al & CJ Podcast. Former CU Buffs legend and NFL trailblazer Kordell “Slash” Stewart joins the show for an unfiltered, emotional, and funny conversation about his career, the evolution of the modern quarterback, and what it means to truly be ahead of your time.

CJ opens the show solo as Al battles a hilarious off-field mishap — involving a moving truck, a rogue mattress, and a near-disaster on the road — before joining the episode and immediately running into tech problems of his own. Once connected, the guys dive into Stewart’s legacy at Colorado, his role in shaping the dual-threat era, his AFC Player of the Year season, and his candid reflections on being misunderstood in Pittsburgh.

Kordell also talks about coaching, life in Atlanta, and his hopes for the next generation of quarterbacks who finally play the way he did decades ago.

Big Al and CJ dive into a massive weekend for Colorado football — starting with the Buffs’ upset win over No. 22 Iowa State. Kaidon Salter was exactly what the team needed him to be, leading the offense with confidence while the Buffs’ defense clamped down in the second half to seal the statement victory. The guys debate how much this win reshapes the Buffs’ season and what it says about Salter’s emergence as the real deal in Boulder.

Then it’s across the pond to London, where the Broncos’ defense dominated the Jets in one of the most complete defensive efforts of the Sean Payton era. From Nik Bonitto’s relentless pursuit to Pat Surtain II’s lockdown coverage, Al and CJ break down what makes this unit special — and whether it’s time to start mentioning Denver’s defense among the league’s elite.
