The Drive

Hour one of The Drive kicks off with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay praising the Broncos offense! This was the best they looked all camp and practice, but some fans are already coming at the guys! Have they been bashing on the Broncos offense or are they just calling it as they see it? How did Bo Nix look in the 7 on 7s? Does Pat Bryant have a higher ceiling than many of us realized? With a lot of receivers looking serviceable how many do the Broncos plan on keeping? What did the running backs look like as many of them continue to fight for a roster spot. An update on Nik Bonitto and Sean confirmed the starters will not be playing this weekend. Which players need to show something special to keep their chance of a roster spot alive?

In hour two Zach and Phil break down the great play from the offense. Which players shined and is this final the look Broncos Country needs to see to feel better about this team? Which player is emerging as receiver two and which other receivers are making big splashes in these practices? In the Three Count which wide receiver is most likely to end up on a different 53 man roster at the end of camp?

Which receiver is making a strong case to end up on the 53 man roster despite the room being so full? The Associated Press celebrated 100 years of publication, and they put out a list of the all-time all American football players. Which teams made the roster and who should have?

The Broncos offense showed out for the first time this camp. What looked good, what stood out during this great practice? The running back conversation continues. Which players need to put on good tape to land on a 53 man roster, and which ones are on the verge of being Broncos? Could it be that we are somehow over analyzing this roster? Could coach Sean Payton already have his roster ready to go?

In the fourth and final hour of the Drive we take a deep dive at the offense. Bo Nix finally had a good outing! Which player directly benefited from it and is that the sign of life Broncos Country needed to feel better about this offense? A receiver may have stamped himself as the number two in the locker room, but is there still a competition at large to determine the pecking order at wide receiver? Sean was asked a very loaded question today, how did he handle it and is there any truth to the question that was asked? Will Petersen and Aniello Piro join from Denver Sports Tonight to debate which running backs are making the Broncos roster.

How much will we see Nik Bonitto play in preseason game 2 after he “tweaked” something this week?

Is Tyler Badie on his way of earning the Broncos third running back position? We react to Nik Bonitto making the NFL’s top 100 list, coming in at number 38. Has this honor earned Bonitto even more money on his future contract extension with the Broncos?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Phil and Richie look back at previous draft classes under George Paton and debate who is most likely to have a “coming out party” this season.
