Al agrees with DMac this loss to Baltimore will be the Broncos’ toughest road test all season, and Al says some comments he read over the weekend disturbed him. DMac thinks this would have been the perfect week to get Emmanuel Sanders the ball early & often, and Big Al is impressed by Justin Simmons.
Adam Schefter joins the show to talk about the Broncos’ secondary & if a trade for Patrick Peterson could be in the works. Adam asks DMac what other corners are available for the Broncos to trade for, and notes that the storyline in Denver after three weeks this season is similar to last year, but it’s about CB instead of QB. Also, Big Al finally gets a chance to read Schefter’s book, and Schefter says the Tampa Bay Bucs are for real, for now.
In the Big 3, Big Al thinks he’s found the best young QBs in the NFL in Jared Goff & Pat Mahomes, and wonders if drafting Mahomes was simply the ‘luck of the draw’ for Andy Reid & the Chiefs. Also, DMac mentions the great weekend in Arizona for the Rockies, and Al talks about Jon Gray’s development as a pitcher.
The guys talk about the Domata Peko play, and how to avoid ‘stupid’ mistakes. Big Al reviews the dangers of jumping into the pile, and notes that this is a new rule for most. DMac is concerned about Phillip Lindsay’s discipline, and Big Al goes over some things that would have helped Case Keenum, like a dome. Also, Al says the Broncos’ Special Teams were ‘off the chain.’
