The Drive

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Cecil and Aniello. The guys discuss their concerns with the Nuggets, missing key players with injuries, and how out of sorts Jokic has looked since returning from injury. Zach and Phil go in depth into the Broncos cap situation as we head into the NFL offseason. How will the Broncos use their limited cap space? Is it a myth that the Broncos have more money to spend now that Russell Wilson's contract is off the books? Zach pitches why the Broncos should bring in Anothny Richardson to be Denver's Taysom Hill. Would Sean Payton be able to use Richardson's athleticism in creative ways to win games on Sundays? We have an update from Christian Fauria and his criticism for Deion Sanders. Is it fair to criticize Sanders' lack of attention to detail and retiring his son's jersey? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate if the Broncos should pursue Tyreek Hill after he was cut by the Dolphins. Would Greg Penner step in for a football decision if it meant prohibiting a "bad egg" from joining the Broncos? We go through and re-evaluate the quarterback class from 2024. How much of these guys' success comes from the situations they are in? Where does Bo Nix fit in the guy's rankings? Are Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix's injuries concerning? Was last year the final year we will see Ben Powers in a Broncos uniform? Zach shares all the details on how cutting Ben Powers would impact the Broncos cap. We wrap up the show previewing the presumed USA and Canada gold medal game this weekend and remembering legendary Nuggets head coach Doug Moe after his passing today. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil discuss the Broncos offensive line and if Ben Powers will be back with the team in 2026. How has Powers been as a Bronco? Did the Broncos look ok when Powers missed multiple weeks last week? Should the Broncos sign Alex Palczewski to a long-term contract? We react to ESPN's trade proposal of the Broncos adding AJ Brown for Riley Moss and a second-round pick. Would Jahdae Barron be able to step up without Riley Moss in the secondary? Would AJ Brown be a distraction in the Broncos locker room? Is Brown's first priority himself or winning football games? Phil makes the case for why now is the time for the Broncos to sign a big-name wide receiver, while Nix is on a rookie contract. Are there other positions of need the Broncos need to prioritize over wide receiver? 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil go through and re-rank the quarterback class from 2024. Which quarterback has the most natural talent? How much of these guys' success comes from the situations they are in? Two years later, who is the best quarterback from the class? Where does Bo Nix fit in the guy's rankings? Are Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix's injuries concerning? Today's "Three Count" includes if the Broncos will be interested in Kenneth Walker after Seattle chose not to franchise tag him, Anthony Edwards calling out Jokic and Luka for being some of the best players in the world and not wanting to play in the All-Star game, and Ronda Rousey coming out of retirement to fight after 10 years. Does all the success the Avalanche players are having in the Olympics, putting more pressure on the Avs to win a championship this season? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Cecil and Aniello. The guys discuss the success we are seeing from Avalanche players in the Winter Olympics and Zach's trip up to Fort Collins to watch CSU basketball with his son. Zach and Phil react to ESPN's trade proposal of the Broncos adding AJ Brown for Riley Moss and a second-round pick. Would Jahdae Barron be able to step up without Riley Moss in the secondary? Would AJ Brown be a distraction in the Broncos locker room? Is Brown's first priority himself or winning football games? What did the guys make of the new format for the NBA All-Star game? Should Jokic have showed more effort in the All-Star game? Did Kawhi Leonard show he still belongs with the best basketball players in the world? 

John Davis and Chad Andrus are in for today's President's Day edition of The Drive. In hour 4 of The Drive, John and Chad continue their conversation on the Broncos positions of need this off season. We rank the four major position groups that need upgrades and debate how we would design those rooms for 2026. Should the Broncos bring back Dre Greenlaw and Alex Singleton? Do the Broncos need to address tight end with their first-round draft pick? How will the Broncos stack the running back room around RJ Harvey? Will the Broncos bring an elite number one receiver? We wrap up the show debating if the Broncos will re-shape their wide receiver room or round out the edges and bring back most of what they already have. 

John Davis and Chad Andrus are in for today's President's Day edition of The Drive. In hour 3 of The Drive, John and Chad debate if the Broncos should have interest in bringing in Tyreek Hill or Bradley Chubb after they were released from Miami. How big of a concern are Hill's injuries from last season? We react to NFL.com's rankings of the starting quarterbacks in 2026. Was tier 3 and a ranking of 18 fair for Bo Nix? What can Nix do in 2026 to move into tier 2 in the NFL? How concerned are the guys in the Nuggets and Avalanche's ability to win a championship this year? How will both of these teams' health factor into their playoff success? We analyze and debate what the Broncos biggest positions of need are as they head into the NFL offseason. 

John Davis and Chad Andrus are in for today's President's Day edition of The Drive. In hour 2 of The Drive, John and Chad react to Jim Leonard leaving the Broncos coaching staff to become the defensive coordinator for the Bills. How big of a loss will Leonard be to this elite defense? Would the Broncos be better off with Leonard at DC instead of Vance Joseph? Today's "Three Count" features our thoughts on the Winter Olympics and the wide-ranging sports we see during this time of the year and Chris Paul calling it a career after 21 seasons. Was Paul underappreciated during his time in the NBA? What did we make of Jamal Murray's first All-Star game appearance? Were we surprised from Jokic's fun interaction with Boogie Cousins of All-Star break?

John Davis and Chad Andrus are in for today's President's Day edition of The Drive. Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with the guys cross talking with Dan Jacobs and Richie Carni about the possibility of the Broncos adding a "bad egg" but talented wide receiver in Tyreek Hill. John and Chad share their thoughts on the promotion of Davis Webb within the Broncos organization and debate if Webb will take over play calling in 2026? Could the Broncos see Webb as a future head coach option? We react to all the Avalanche players playing in the Olympics and the success they are having. Is the NBA All-Star game fixed after the new format we saw this weekend? What do we make of Anthony Edwards and Kevin Durant calling out Jokic and Luka for not showing effort in All-Star games? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray participating in the all-star game this weekend. Will Murray and Jokic get the proper rest they need over this break? We hear from Kevin Durant and him questioning if the Euro players will play hard in the all-star game. We pivot to the Broncos and question why the Broncos have not named Burnham Yards as the official site of their new stadium yet. We react to NFL.com's ranking of quarterbacks and where Bo Nix landed on the list. Should Broncos Country be upset with Nix's low ranking? What tier should Nix be ranked in after having such a successful season? How can Bo Nix be more consistent in 2026? We wrap up the show previewing Zach and Phil's Valentine's Day weekend as well as the NBA's all-star game festivities this weekend. How will Jamal Murray fare in the three-point contest and his first all-star game?
