The Drive

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to discuss the Broncos' backup quarterback situation and if Sam Ehlinger is a threat to take Jarrett Stidham's spot. What do the guys make of Ehlinger's impressive performances the last two days? Is Sean Payton setting up Ehlinger to be successful elsewhere like he did with Zach Wilson? Who profiles better to be the backup behind Bo Nix? We hear from Payton and his lengthy compliments for Ehlinger. We pivot back to the Broncos as a whole, and the guys debate what their identity on offense is. Are the Broncos throwing the ball too much compared to running the ball at training camp? Does the trio of Bo Nix, Sean Payton and Davis Webb want to run the ball? Today's "Three Count" features what position group the guys are most concerned with the depth, Stephon Diggs set to sign with the Commanders on a one-year deal, and the Dodgers losing their 6th straight game today. With Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton missing most of today's practice, why was Evan Engram still not making a big impact? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil recapping their time out at Broncos training camp today. How concerned are the guys with the growing number of starters sitting out of practice due to injuries or tweaks to guys like Nik Bonitto, Jaylen Waddle, and Luke Wattenberg? What were the guys' biggest takeaways from today's practice? Who won the day between the offense and defense? How much of the lack of success in the run game has to do with the setting of training camp and not tackling to the ground? Is the Broncos defense showing they will be the strength of the team again? Do the Broncos have the depth on the defensive line to show they won't miss John Franklin Meyers this season? Are we seeing a real competition for the Broncos' backup quarterback spot between Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to take a deep dive into today's practice at Broncos training camp. How concerned are the guys with Nik Bonitto walking off the field gingerly before today's practice ended? Is Que Robinson in store for a big year two with the Broncos after showing out in training camp? Zach speaks to the chippiness out at practice today between the offensive line and defensive line, as well as Evan Engram getting into it with JaQuan McMillian. The guys speculate what could have led to Engram's frustration and debate if his future as a starter in the NFL is on the line this season. The guys speak to Jaylen Waddle and the impact he's made for the offense. We hear from him on going up against the Broncos defense and how difficult it can be to gain yards against them, and going up against his former teammate Pat Surtain. We wrap up the show debating how many stars and superstars are on the Broncos. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate if Pat Bryant is on track to become an emerging star for the Broncos. Will Bryant's consistency overshadow Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims' big-play ability with their speed? We pivot to the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. We hear from the Hoop Collective and their thoughts on how the Nuggets should not want Jokic's extension hanging in the balance. Is Jokic being selfish if he takes the most amount of money possible when we've seen stars like Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama take less recently? Zach and Phil recap their time out at Broncos training camp today. Is the Broncos defense showing they're a top defense again after a slow start to camp last week?

Will this be the season Drew Sanders gets right and can stay healthy throughout the year? Did Bo Nix give us a hint as to where Davis Webb will be calling plays from on gameday? Could we see drama between Sean Payton, Davis Webb, and Bo Nix when it comes to play calling for the Broncos? How much will Payton "meddle" throughout the game? The guys speak to Jaylen Waddle and the impact he's made for the offense. We hear from him on going up against the Broncos defense and how difficult it can be to gain yards against them. Today's "Three Count" includes Sean Payton's comments on the Jonathan Cooper situation going away sooner than later, and the Rockies not only keeping Mickey Moniak but signing him to a 2-year extension. The guys give Riley Moss his flowers for the impressive training camp he's having.

Zach explains his big takeaway of Greg Penner situating his office on the same floor as all the coaches. We pivot to Broncos President Damani Leech and his comments over the weekend about his frustration with the Burnham Yard plans for the next stadium and the timeline to move in in 2031. Will Denver politics stand in the way of the Broncos staying in Denver? We react to Leech saying PSL's are likely and debate if this is the right course of action. We react to the text line's thoughts on potential PSL's for the Broncos' new stadium. We hear from people who are pro-PSL's so they can have the opportunity to get season tickets to people who would have to give up their season tickets because they can't afford PSL's.
