Veteran NFL reporter, James Palmer joins the show to share his thoughts on the QB play from the Broncos, will we see any difference in how the reps are split, and the Broncos RB’s having success. Will the Broncos be able to hit the over on their expected win total this season? We revisit Zach’s “beef” with Mark Schlereth, after Mark went after Zach on the Morning Show.

The guys question if the Broncos have a true number 1 receiver and if that is necessary for them to win games. We look at the comparisons CU’s Shedeur Sanders is drawing to NFL quarterbacks.

In hour 3 of The Drive, John Davis and Kyle Reese react to Coach Prime’s press conference from today. Was Deion being disrespectful to the media? We play “Phil in the blank” and wonder if Tim Patrick will be on the Broncos, who were rooting for in the Olympics basketball Gold Medal game, and what were most excited to watch this weekend. We take a more in depth look at the Broncos defense. Who will be starting opposite of Patrick Surtain? After Sterns getting released, how is the safety group shaking out? If the Buffs win 8 games, will that be enough to “shut the haters up”? Where do the guy’s see the wins on the season for CU?

Today’s “Three Count” includes a recently cut Bronco getting waived again due to injury, Broncos throwback jerseys flying off the shelf, and a viral trend based on a video CU posted.
