Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Cecil. The guys discuss the behind the scenes of play-by-play calling for sports and Zach shares the story of how he got hired to work at The Fan in Denver. Zach and Phil react to ESPN proposing Jonah Ellis as a trade candidate for the Broncos due to his lack of opportunity in Denver with all the great pass rushers on the roster. Should the Broncos try to flip Ellis for a draft pick or hold on to him as a rotational piece? We preview tonight's Nuggets and Clippers game as the Nuggets get back in action after the All-Star game. What are the guys looking for from Christian Braun as he steps into a bigger role without Peyton Watson? Zach says Jokic needs to return as the best player in the NBA and needs to stop the foul-baiting.
