The Drive

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Will Petersen cross talking with Stokley and Josh. The guys discuss if the Broncos could get involved in a Jameis Winston trade to be the backup QB in Denver? Zach shares a “hot pick” for week 1 of the college football season and exclaims how excited he is for the college season to start. The guys break down their fears with the Broncos’ running backs if they will be able to be successful running the ball. We react to Coach Prime’s comments from a podcast with RGIII on Paul Finebaum’s criticism of Deion. Will CU commit to running the ball this season? Did Colorado and Coach Prime actually help Sean Keeler by publicly banning him from asking questions to the CU Buffs football program?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Will debate what is most likely to happen for the Broncos this season: a player to record double digit sacks, a 1,000-yard rusher, a 1,000-yard receiver, or a 4,000-yard passer? Will explains why he thinks it will be the pass rushers hitting 10+ sacks and thinks there’s potential for multiple guys to do it. Could Greg Dulcich be a candidate to hit the 1,000 yards mark? Today’s “Three Count” includes Russell Wilson being named the starter in Pittsburgh, Broncos from training camp signing with other teams, and a heavy amount of bets on the Broncos to over on their season win total. Should the Broncos trade Zach Wilson now before letting him walk out the door at the end of the season?

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Will dive into the Coach Prime noise around the country and the Buffaloes becoming a “villain” in college football. Did Deion treat Paul Finebaum’s criticism the right way? Zach “gets something off his chest” with his defense of Josh Allen and the slander he receives across the nation while guys like Lamar Jackson get a pass. We hear from Sean Payton on what went behind the decision to waive Tim Patrick. Which college football game are we most looking forward to this weekend? Can the Broncos running back room break out and surprise people this season? Which running back will rise to the top of the room?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Will debate which of the following is most likely to happen for the Broncos in 2024: double digit sacks by a player, a 1,000-yard rusher, a 1,000-yard receiver, or a 4,000-yard passer? Will shares why he thinks a Bronco will reach the 10+ sack mark this season and a few have the potential to. Zach goes in a different direction and chooses Nix to hit the 4,000 yard mark. Should the Broncos trade Zach Wilson or sign him to an extension before letting him become a free agent at the end of the season? We wrap up the show with looking around the league at Broncos that were waived in the last week. Will these players have success with heir new teams?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Cecil cross talking with Stokley and Josh. The guys break down the Broncos roster cuts and share their projections for what surprises we will be in store for today as the official cut time nears. We look around the league at other NFL team’s cuts and question if another team’s “trash” could be the Broncos “treasure”. Has Sean Payton turned Zach Wilson into a desirable asset? Could the Broncos turn around Zach Wilson as an asset and sell high on the quarterback? The guys react in real time to breaking news as the Broncos 53-man roster comes into focus. What surprises did and did not make the final roster?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Cecil take a deep dive into the Broncos official 53-man roster as it is now finalized. We go position by position to see who makes up each side of the ball. What undrafted rookies made the team? Were there any major surprises? Today’s “Three Count” includes a jersey controversy for the Denver Nuggets, betting action on the opening weekend of college football, and the Kelce podcast, “New Heights” selling out. The guys react to the many national media member’s takes on the Deion Sanders situation. Did Coach Prime fumble this situation by taking it from a local story to a national story?

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Cecil react to the breaking news of former Bronco, Tim Patrick signing with the Detroit Lions. Will the Broncos come out on top of choosing Josh Reynolds over Tim Patrick? The guys hear from Broncos GM George Paton, as he comments on the final roster after cut day. Zach makes the case for the Broncos to “sell high” on Zach Wilson and regain better assets than what the Broncos gave up to bring Wilson in. Is the Zach Wilson “rehab” process complete? Zach and Cecil share their thoughts on the anonymous poll of NFL players and the question of which rookie QB will have the most success.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Cecil break down the Broncos 53-man roster now that it is official. Did rookie running back, Blake Watson, deserve his spot on this team? With the news of Tim Patrick getting released, the guys ask if the receivers on the team are talented and proven enough to help Bo Nix during his rookie season. Can the Broncos get a return on their investment on Zach Wilson by selling high on Wilson? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss only 5 wide receivers making the final roster and the praise GM George Paton had for Zach Wilson.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Cecil Lammey cross talking with Stokley and Josh as the guys recap the BMW Championship from over the weekend, Zach and Stoke’s stories from the event and much more. We buckle into Broncos talk and review the Broncos final preseason game. What were Cecil’s takeaways from Zach Wilson’s performance? PFF projected the rookie QB’s passing yards for the season, where did Nix rank among his rookie class? Will the Broncos be a more run-heavy offense? We have breaking news live on the show as we hear Semaje Perine will not be a Bronco this season and is expected to be traded.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Cecil react to more breaking news from the Broncos as Tim Patrick is reported to not return to the Broncos. Will a Tim Patrick-less WR room hurt Bo Nix’s growth? Did Patrick deserve a roster spot over other receivers with a less productive training camp and preseason? Today’s “Three Count” includes a new note on the 53-man emergency quarterback rule, CeeDee Lamb’s extension with the Cowboys, and Zach’s thoughts from the BMW Championship. Zach and Cecil preview one of the biggest “grudge matches” in NFL history as Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers head to Denver in week 2. Zach lays out the reasons he is not a fan of Russell Wilson, the man and football player.
