We hear from Dre Greenlaw and his thoughts on being compared to Mike Tyson and why he chose to come to Denver. Zach and Phil react to Deion Sanders’ emotional press conference today in which he revealed his health scares this off season. We hear from Deion and others involved in his health journey over the summer on how they found his cancer, hiding his problems from his kids and much more. How close were we to seeing Deion retire from coaching today?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the news of the day in Courtland Sutton’s new contract extension. At the end of Sutton’s contract, where will he rank among the top wide receivers in Broncos history? Zach shares the stats to back up how effective Sutton was on third down last season, especially compared to the other Broncos wide receivers. The guys debate if Sutton being fairly compensated now or overpaid. Now with Sutton paid, which Broncos will be next to get a contract extension? What do we make of John Franklin-Meyers commenting on his contract situation on Twitter? We wrap up the show by revisiting Sean Payton getting after some local media over the weekend.

In hour 1 of The Drive Zach and Phil kick things off with chapter 3 of training camp.  Courtland Sutton has the guys attention early on.  There was a standout at the WR position.  Which second year WR caught the guys attention?  Which rookie is also standing out? 

In hour 2 of The Drive Zach and Phil discuss who could be the potential #2 receiver for the Broncos this season.    The Broncos new TE spoke today, and the guys react to some of his comments.  In the Three Count Phil caught up with Greg and George, the Rockies make a trade, and Ralphie was ranked.  Mike Klis joins the guys with his takes from camp.

In hour 3 of The Drive down a man, can Zach and Phil match the Morning show in trivia?  The guys wonder about what’s going on behind closed doors with some of the looming contracts. The guys take a deeper look into the CB room for the Broncos.  Did today reveal any of the future plans opposite PS2?  Who has gone from frustration to flashing?

In hour 4 of The Drive the guys discuss who had the best day at Broncos camp today.  How is the culture in Denver different from other places?  Who had the play of the day? Does that play give the guys a glimpse at the Broncos offensive future?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the ongoing contract situations for the Broncos with Courtland Sutton and Nik Bonitto and who their agents are impacting the negotiations. Zach and Phil share what they saw out at Broncos training camp today. How much did Courtland Sutton participate after only partially participating yesterday? How much is Sutton risking by playing without a new contract? What was the running back rotation today after JK Dobbins ran with the starters yesterday? We saw first round pick, Jahdae Barron on the outside at corner back yesterday, did that continue? Where will Barron fit into this vaunted Broncos defense?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix’s day today. Zach speaks to how different the Broncos are with Nix at the helm compared to when Paxton Lynch was “the guy”. Will the Broncos offense be able to catch up to their defense, as defenses usually have the upper hand early in the season? How will Bo be able to take a leap with him in full control of the offense and the Broncos being “his team”? We react to Nix coming at number 64 on the NFL’s top 100 players. Today’s “Three Count” includes the Morris twins being open to challenging the Jokic brothers to a boxing match and Nathaniel Hackett re-joining the Packers as a defensive analyst. The guys reflect on Hulk Hogan and how he transformed wrestling, as he passed away this morning.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Mike McGlinchy leaving practice today after being dressed for practice and participating in walk throughs.

Zach and Phil share an update on Courtland Sutton’s participation in practice today after yesterday's “hybrid hold in”. With Phil’s birthday today, he tells the sad story of no one showing up to his birthday as a child. Zach and Phil share more of their observations from training camp and dive into the Broncos running back rotations.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil breakdown Bo Nix’s day at Broncos practice today. How has the Broncos offense competed vs their dominant defense? We react to Nix coming at number 64 on the NFL’s top 100 players. What does Bo’s ranking say about his standing in the league after only one season? How many Broncos are we expecting to make the top 100 now? We go on a tangent about q-tips and cleaning our ears and belly buttons before pivoting to Wil Lutz and how consistent he has been for the Broncos. We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss Michael Porter Jr.’s video where he claims to be working ‘as hard as he ever has”.
