The Drive

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and recap our time out at training camp today. We debate how big of a weapon the back shoulder throw to Courtland Sutton will be this season. Who had the catch of the day? Will an undrafted rookie make the Broncos' 53-man roster this season? Today's "Three Count" includes the guys questioning if Lucas Krull should be punting the ball after scoring a touchdown at practice, Roger Goodell saying there is "no doubt" the NFL will have teams outside of the US, and the Rockies breaking some losing streaks in San Francisco and Arizona. We debate if the Broncos are lacking depth at inside linebacker. We hear from Vance Joseph on multiple players getting opportunities at inside linebacker and what he's seen from rookie Red Murdock so far. 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss their time out at Broncos training camp today. Zach and Phil disagree on which side of the ball "won the day" between the offense and defense. We go in depth into all the chippiness we saw at practice today, which featured Nik Bonitto, Mike McGlinchy, Bo Nix, and more, all getting into skirmishes. We do a full breakdown of Nik Bonitto getting thrown out of a drill at practice and then later running on the field during a fight between the offensive and defensive lines. Did the guys appreciate the feisty nature at practice, or did it cross the line? What were the guys' biggest takeaways from practice as far as the football went? Is the offense fighting back against the Broncos' elite defense for the first time in years? Was today Bo Nix's worst practice during this year's training camp? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Broncos' first preseason game. We break down the Broncos' impressive defensive performance in which they only allowed one drive of over 20 yards throughout the game. Were the guys impressed with Jahdae Barron's pick-6, or was it more of a case of bad quarterback play from Atlanta? Is Riley Moss on his way to earning a contract extension this season? Will the Broncos be able to pay guys like Bo Nix, Riley Moss, and Jaquan McMillian? We hear from Sean Payton on Davis Webb's first game as the Broncos' offensive coordinator, how much they wanted to show offensively during the game, and much more. We wrap up the show discussing Courtland Sutton's reminder to Broncos Country that he is still a number one wide receiver. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by the Denver Post's city government reporter, Elliot Wenzler. We discuss the neighborhood being in opposition to converting "Lot M" into a new area for Denver Water. What is the Denver Mayor's role in the Broncos' goal of building a new stadium at Burnham Yards? We react to our time with Elliot Wenzler and debate if the Broncos' 2031 timeline is in jeopardy. We recap the Broncos' 27-7 beatdown over the Falcons. Did the Broncos prove they have one of the best rosters in football, top to bottom, with the wealth of depth they have? What did the guys make of the Broncos' run game on Friday? Did Jaleel McLaughlin lose all his momentum of a solid camp with his fumble in the Broncos' first preseason game? 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Riley Moss and debate if the Broncos should give him a big-time contract extension. Will the Broncos be able to pay guys like Bo Nix, Riley Moss, and Jaquan McMillian? Were the guys impressed with Jahdae Barron's pick-6, or was it more of a case of bad quarterback play from Atlanta? Did Courtland Sutton give Broncos Country a reminder that he is a legitimate number one wide receiver in the NFL? Is having Jaylen Waddle in the building only pushing Sutton to be a better version of himself? Today's "Three Count" features Von Miller signing with the Cowboys for a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million, SRM Concrete being named as the official concrete company for the Broncos and supplying all the concrete for the Broncos' new stadium, and the Rockies going 5-4 over their 9-game road trip while beating Arizona and San Francisco in series. What did the guys make of the Broncos quarterbacks on Friday? Did Jarrett Stidham silence the noise around a "quarterback competition" between the backups? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss Pat McAfee's album and debate who at The Fan would be the best singer or rapper. Zach and Phil recap their time out at Broncos training camp today, in which Zach brought his son, who got to meet all kinds of Broncos stars and go on the field after practice. We recap the Broncos' 27-7 beatdown over the Falcons. Did the Broncos prove they have one of the best rosters in football, top to bottom with the wealth of depth they have? What did the guys make of the Broncos' run game on Friday? Is Jonah Coleman proving he will be a major part of this run game? We break down the Broncos' impressive defensive performance. Is Riley Moss on his way to earning a contract extension this season? 

For the fourth and final hour of the Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay, after a lengthy preseason pregame in the first three hours the guys finally play trivia!  The morning show went a dismal 1-3 giving the Drive guys a low bar to clear, but that doesn't mean they had a clean sweep themselves.  And Mike Rice closes out the show for Zach, breaking down the preseason game so far and talking some Nuggs.   

In hour three of the Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay, Zach and Phil dive heavily into the Broncos stadium situation which has gotten significantly more complicated with the news about Denver Water.  The guys also get ready for preseason game one against the Atlanta Falcons.

For the second hour of the Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay, the fellas start getting more excited about the Broncos first preseason game and welcome in 9News insider, Mike Klis to talk about it and what they think might happen with the new Broncos stadium.  Zach and Phil each give a dark horse candidate to have a big game and talk about who they think should be the backup quarterback to Bo Nix.  

In the first hour of the Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay, the guys start out with cross-talk between Dover and Cecil and the Drive getting ready for preseason game one.  Zach and Phil get into what they want to see out of the running backs tonight and how they see the backup quarterback competition going.
