In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the Athletic’s simulation for the NFL season and how it pertains to the Broncos and the AFC west. Has the hype surrounding the Broncos gone too far to where a 9-8 season would be looked at as very disappointing by many? Are we overlooking the many “green lights” the Broncos had last year? Can the Broncos have the same record as last season and lose in the first round of the playoffs but still have a good season? Today’s “Three Count” features if the Broncos are hiding Kyrese Rowan during preseason games to stache him on the practice squad, Shohei Ohtani hitting a homerun last night and starting on the mound tonight, and the Avalanche signing Victor Olofsson. We react to ESPN’s “way too early” NFL mock draft, in which the Broncos select, wide receiver, Jordan Tyson out of Arizona State.
