Arizona Cardinals vs Denver Broncos | 2024 Preseason Week 3 Game Highlights NFL Aug 25, 2024

construction will be built around this kickoff rule as well yes there's going to be new jobs Tiki that guys are going to have because of this kickoff and guys are going to make the team by how they do with special [Applause] teams AR and you saw Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison and B knck already none of them are and on the return it's Weaver crossing the 35 so immediately you're seeing in AJ Rosser you could call this youth movement with both these teams looking to rebuild with younger guys in fact half the Cardinals and just yet but Jonathan Ganon told us make no mistake these young guys they're built different and in fact last year the Cardinals had the second most naming B knck the starter in week one and he said this Broncos team has a lot of Youth and a lot of energy guys hey J a nice run by Tony Jones Jr he picks up 12 yards in a fight to make this roster at the running back spot between ton who was a fifth round pick out of Houston last year and Desmond Ritter who was acquired in a trade in the off seon second [Music] half two matthys is fighting to become the second corner on this Denver roster but right now it appears that yeah and you never want to see a player get hurt early or at least in the last preseason game early in again now he lost his job essentially to Riley moss and he's playing this game because he has to win a job back that's why this this third preseason game players but also some of these vets we will step aside and come right back to Denver in a moment difficult start here in Denver as deari Mattis who as we told you was fighting this today injured on the second play and he's going to make the tackle here and it goes down and is right they're going to make a one-on-one tackle then next thing you know your teammates pile on and now it's about 700 lb all on you at one time but you can see why DBS would go low on big running backs Vance Joseph who Cardinals fans remember he spent four here's Clayton tune looking to pass and the check down to Jones over the middle at the 45 yd line and uh the tackle was just Cody Barton doing a really good job and he was competing for that spot this this preseason as well coming over from Washington gener right easy plays easy completions to get yourself into a rhythm so far in the pre-season T completing passes at a 6 play action T chased from behind and taken down player out of Air Force making the play a loss of five yeah this is really just a coverage sack he takes his eyes off of what's potentially in front of him the only thing he can do is try to pick some yardage with his legs but great job by coordinator for the Arizona [Music] Cardinals second down at 14 to the 45 yd line and he'll set up third down and long sternard makes another tackle if you can say for the defensive side of the all Vance Joseph you're coming up with some of your best possibly blitzes to come and get after the quarter come up make a tackle and you're able to get off the field Yeah you mentioned some of these guys in the secondary tackling is going to be a big part of making this down and 10 T fires Chris Moore's got it but he's tripped up that's a nice Tackle by Levi seven yd pickup it's fourth down and that's just a really good job I said it on third down as long as you're able to tackle and he puts one foot in the ground chases after him yes it's a completion but you get him down before the stick so Matt Prader attempting a 55 yd field goal he spent seven years with the Broncos [Music] in tune at QB and now out comes Jared stum for the Denver Broncos of Zach Wilson today who's still in the conversation to back up o Knicks as well look for STM to P the rookie from Notre Dame picks up one that was what jar did him in New England when he first got Dred drafted coming to be the guy to take over he goes to the Raiders plays in Derek Carr's absence comes here plays in Russell he's a veteran guy that they know did in his first pass attempt and he located I know Jason McCord's rooting for rudri EST they grew up in the same town of nyak New York and also I'm trying not to be biased today Andrew and you called me out early on in the first quarter but this is just a really good job by Miss and is able to get right up the field yeah and this running back competition for the backup job is going to be really interesting here in Denver there's a lot of names and down to the 32 we know that Javonte Williams is the starting running back but Shawn pton really loved estimate gets to start here the last preseason games he's already caught a ball out of the back field he's running behind his pads getting hit going to be a situational back most likely the one thing we haven't seen yet is pass BR that's what a running back Sean off STM has time rolling right and now will just throw it away he was chased by injury update here's AJ Ross Andrew I'm hearing from the Broncos that corner deari mattisse has an ankle injury and he's officially questionable Shawn Payton now in his second year with Denver his 17th as an NFL head coach cut ties with Russell Wilson draft B Knicks 12th overall and he wins the starting QB job this summer on the move again and will throw it away good pressure by Phil Hoskins and now on fourth down in we see on this this wide view here Jared stms trying to get this ball out to uh to J s's not ready to throw the ball yet and as a result he gets to the sideline there's nowhere for him to go with it an opportunity here maybe to extend this opening drive and get Jared a little more time before going to Zack Wilson Sean pyton has been raving about this seventh round pick out of Utah he goes for in close proximity stacked together a little bit of confusion for Arizona coming out of it as you see it and right there just a and pick up a huge first down on fourth down yeah on third down we talked about the timing being off it's easier with three step drops right on from behind by Miles Murphy a pickup of two [Music] longterm starting quarterback since Payton Manning left there's been a lot of names we've used a lot of white out here yeah the first Denver Broncos rookie quarterback to start since John Elway think y i' played against a lot and Franklin's going to get enough for a first down four round pick out of Oregon who was Bo Knick's teammate with Fass and he's explosive and you're seeing here they're finding ways to get the ball in his hands yes as a rookie he's going to get better out of his short passes and he's able to show that speed it's only going to help his off you know we're not seeing the chemistry right now is sitting over there in Street Clos and go for the Broncos es up the middle inside the five and twisted down by n played three years in Notre Dame he was a fifth round draft pick ma was a bit of the emergence of es They Ride es here trying to get in the end zone do six [Music] [Applause] [Music] nothing drop step gets downhill steps into the hole to get the defender to commit and then steps out of it and comes right fixing it up he's fired up about a big block leading to a touchdown n New York in the house Jason my career show him some love T yes estim had 31 total yards on that he wanted all a return again for the Cardinals and does not get to the 25 dandre Tilman flying down the field and Shawn Payton's really high on this guy and there's one thing when I was playing against a Shawn pton Le offense it wasn't that they would go Tempo and happened so quickly and as a DB you felt like you were always chasing the game yeah I think one of the reasons that Sean loved both Nick so much half years old here's Jones the week the co college player playing five six seasons I mean V is 26 years old seen guys come out of college a lot more prepared and PR ready because of the extra time in school and he talked about the programs that these guys felt and a credit to these guys is one thing to play a lot of college games it's another thing to play them well and come into this level and Excel right away hard line that's belli reeling it in for a gain of 16 [Music] has to pick up and learn this offense for clay and tun this is his second year with the offensive coordinator ping so he knows and he [Applause] can play fake Pursuit By Angelo blackon you know going back to that about is these quarterback coaches that these soon to be NFL young quarterbacks are hiring to get them ready down on the field anible man downfield offense number 63 Tristan cologne the guilty [Music] party at Houston 104 career touchdowns for the 25-year-old Nick Bonito came across and made the play for a loss of one able to do he's coming off the edge right here and he's going to make a huge play right now and this is just a to make the play and get this big runner back on the ground that's something Bonito has been working on he had eight sacks last year but stoping sure again and down he goes and once again it's Jordan Jackson the air his presence felt early in this game had to run stuff early here he is just doing a a TT game Outfield and just runs out of time it's that pick guy that always able to come off and get vertical and be able to make the play spent L to Michael Bandy who will let it fly over his head into the end zone for a Touchback 7 nothing Denver the game for the Broncos 23 touchdowns 2 through of four on that opening drive which resulted in the estim touchdown so Wilson will take over he said recently he feels rejuvenated here in Denver and he hands it off on first down to Tyler batty he's got s of the sideline AJ is with Pat ceran that's right two-time Pro Bowl Corner Pat certan we got to put some sprinkle some respect on your name has evolved with this team yeah um obviously a new year new growth um you know I'm taking on that leadership bro very well and I'm glad to take on that road I mean we just got a lot of young hungry guys in the room you know I mean a lot of young guys Lei Wallace Bama fellow Bama guy that joined you this year um speaking of your time at Bama you had some college battles with Bo Knick oh man he's very confident I mean he's came in with the right composure with the right attitude and honestly man I seen it you know obviously we played in and day out he takes control of the offense He commands the Huddle you know it's good to see you know young guys step in you know making plays making throws see you both thanks so much thank you there's always a little hesitation when an Alabama guy talks about an alurn gu roll tide in the [Music] back ready Wilson sees it gets rid of it and incomplete a dangerous pass and Krell Clark nearly had the inter good Lucas Crow here doing a great job of playing Defender cuz this is an ill-advised throw by Zack Wilson you should throw that one away or take the sack don't try to complete that one [Music] we're good ready we're good yeah we're good ready why didn't heet second down and 10 and five a couple of yards sh of a first down he talked about Zach Wilson and we asked Shawn pyton about him and he said look of all the guys that were Talent the most of any of them and he told Zach my job is to get you to play with joy again have some other team and John pyton pointed out how that worked out with Teddy Bridgewater in New in New Orleans he did get paid by Carolina and batty on Third and one and batty is not going to get there Shawn pyton has done a lot on this second drive with Zack Wilson in their run game you've seen some outside zones you seen some a little M on the edge and a really good job by the DBS right there you saw Krell Clark come flying in and then Jones finish up the tackle you got to be willing to step up and make a tackle on a big and physical running back and they did that right on third down Riley Dixon the newcomer Trenton Hill this is Dixon punting to Weaver for Denver that was a nice special teams play by JL Skinner a 41 yard punt a sting one half a c coming up here in a second but it makes us Twice As Nice that's why I there you go there you go on Hall the running back play action on first down T going to take a deep shot down the field for weer incomplet pick out of Missouri and Shan Peyton wants to get a closer look at him today as well and Abram dra is a guy so far in this preseason but he knows he has JL Skinner as his safety inside so he's playing outside leverage and behind knowing that he has help over the to they hoping to continue to build up Cardinals have 12 yards on their last four plays TR four before henningson makes the tackle you know both of these teams Jason are going to have defensive adjustments happening throughout being back in Denver as a defensive coordinator they struggled early Miami hung 70 on them but as the season went on they started over that stretch of time so this defense has coached really well and you're already seeing in this third preseason game with the backups in here right here on third [Applause] down ton gets rid of it to Hall Devon key was able to finish off Hall and that's the final play of the first quarter Jr is how he handles himself off the field the way he takes care of himself is like a 10 or 12 year vet him to stop doing so much extra work he wanted to run routes after practice and I don't know about true T but me as a rookie I was trying to do that Vandy on the return Blake whiteart makes the tackle after a return of 6 yard CB which house guess America voted to be the AI instigator on a new big tonight after tuls King on CBS and is going to ride Zack Wilson the rest of the way and Tiki certainly doing a Talk Radio Show in New York City you've talked a lot about positive and some negative about Zach Wilson over the years and it really comes down to decisions that he makes when he has the ball rid of the football but we saw it earlier in the game he made a terrible decision to try to flip that one out to croll and it was almost intercepted if it would have been he really needs to work on and Shawn pyton when we chatted with him he believes he can fix that in him pass inter interference first down that goes against David Sills the fifth year wi out yeah that's David Sills blocking downfield on that screen you could tell because the running back Blake Watson was out in no man's land all by himself the timing was not right on get drafted so high and the Jets you're thrusted into that starting lineup and it doesn't go well they get Aaron Rogers and you're like all right I'm going to take it back catalon Shawn PNE said I just want you to fall in love with the game of football again and being an athlete and hearing so much of what Tiki saying noise without listening to yeah but you got to ignore the noise you you can't listen to the opinion of other people you have to listen to the opinion of your teammates more important what the fan wants you to be you have to be what your team needs you to be second down this before and it works well for him a nice job turning it up field at the end Zack Wilson you know he gets pressure right right away Zach Wilson and so he knows that none of these routes are going to come I guess I should say Bronco gets on his Bronco a little bit into the open field at the end instead of going out of longest play of the day by either team here's Blake Watson undrafted so some new faces for the Broncos this year we've been talking about Zach Wilson acquiring a trade with the Jets Josh Reynold Trad with the Jets this one for John Franklin Myers and Brandon Jones free agent for my Miami who they brought in to be the starting safety he is and you were his teammate in Miami and know him well yes and expecting to see him maybe get a few snaps today in this final preseason game and Brandon Jones really good cut over the middle and gets out of bounds and for Brandon Jones though you're coming into a new situation we got to learn a new defense and at that those right here this is just a really good job at the top of the route going against the rookie Elijah Jones a slight push off that receivers do really well cat yeah I got to give a little love to my former teammate Amman tumor he was the best at that sub just I'm pushing you away from from me and I'm going to get worked over because the protection was available for him and he didn't feel Rush seconds on the play clock thank you slowly walks off the field and we be looked at by the Arizona training staff the blue medical tent coming up wonder how hot it is in that medical tent it's like a greenhouse maybe 91° right now Wilson good protection by the off that was a seed from Zach Wilson and a first down for the Broncos just a really good job by to see him look there he pump FES it's not open he doesn't like it goes to the middle Works himself all the way across the field and comes all the way back to the right a really good job of him understanding the offense and understanding his progression to get there inside the 20 and you saw n Atkins lined up fullback on that last play he's been playing he putting fullback Michael Burton's job in Jeopardy now you mentioned Michael Burton former ruers guy like like Jason over here he's been a fullback in the league because it's too hard to populate the the roster if you have a pure fullback that's only doing fullback stuff so Nate Atkins is being asked for linebacker but Wilson firing he's got SS at the six but Zach walk Wilson they've been moving the pocket and he's looked pretty good he 14 he has he's doing a good job to Europe all the way across the field his first option was taken away a short route and he's able to go to that second level really good job by Zach Wilson back this time it's Dad Wilson Who's down on a knee Wilson a firste and the Cardinals have a battle going on at the cornerback position as well Shawn Murphy bunting coming over from 10 of the field you have the rookie they drafted another Ruckers guy and Max Melton who shown well but then they also have Starling Thomas who's own and trying to give them guys a reason to keep him not only playing on the outside but playing in the slot as well I don't think rut Watson up the middle down to the [Music] two and they're going to go quickly to the line ninth play of the TJ Carter came across for Arizona let's see see if he was drawn offside Defense number 94 have to to the goal second down [Music] Carter I don't even think that was a hard count oh he just saw you know what it is sometimes it's a deac Wilson stick his leg back that trigger hand off to Watson [Music] Thomas really good job by that front shooting the gaps and making sure he's go low and knock them back and not give them an opportunity to just walk into the endzone we would always say it forced him to have to throw [Music] the Sills and Franklin are the wide receivers play and he does not get in so Zack Johan Bon is keeping the offense on the field of course why not Z Wilson trying his hardest I mean almost quite get to the py line brry and Maddox Williams on the tackle I I don't love quarterbacks doing that yeah first but also exposing your head fourth and goal Wilson to the end [Applause] zone that's holding on the Cardinals this touchdown stand Defense number 26 that penalty has declined result the running back is going to go cut fullback just leaks out into the flat nobody's taking him because it looks so much like run it's an easy pitch and catch the extra point from will L is good n Atkins trying to get back on this season and he finds the end zone to put the Broncos with the beard that's Davis web the court former NFL QB he said they had a 4-Hour interview in the offseason and as soon as Davis got in the car to go called the driver and said come back and he offered Davis web the job on the spot he thinks that this guy that web will work with Bo Nicks and the other quarterbacks is a big part of this Broncos season and you see him right there sitting right next to Zach Wilson during that interview he had all of his game plans from high school all the way through college and the NFL Davis W went right from oh those are two totally different Lifestyles it's a different work takes a different work ethic you're there all night sometimes and is it feels like he's a peer in that quarterback room and that's important I think especially with some young quarterbacks that are going to get a lot of playing so with that kickoff down in the end zone they take the ball out to the 30 yard line here's Jones from the pile is reys Taylor the firste corner out of Purdue you said it Andrew Ball kicked into the body still getting used to it figuring it out where the ball lands where exactly it goes Ball kicked in the end zone or throw a Touchback pressure's coming by inum tun escapes savier Weaver the undrafted rookie from Colorado goes for 43 yard say it's a great job you know in coming untouched off the edge so Klay tun's got an escape immediately and it'll make this great timing to get that thing right where it needed to be Weaver penol roster as Jones pushes forward you go back to the kickoff though Jason and whether it goes in the end zone at the 35 or the 30 they've decided on the 30 you may have some teams to see a look at the 30 we haven't seen a lot in the preseason teams have been vanilla what will they do in the regular season starts turn kicks you want to see who can block who can get off a block on the kickoff team do they change that because where the ball comes back if it's all about the Touchback teams may say you know what why try to figure this thing out right away and give up a few home run plays let's just kick it through the end zone put our defense season stats that we've seen comparing against last year obviously the amount of returns has increased dramatically 50 or so points but the play the game it wasn't a lot creating seconds after the play please put 25 seconds on the game clock or the bills head coach say you think about the bottom thing here if you're starting at the 29 okay and you get eight of thinking about going for it on fourth down and you're looking the pass those three extra yards could make a difference we thought once this becomes like a scrimmage play it's not but once it becomes like a scrimmage play you're going to see some misdirect Jas alluding to special teams coaches are going to do once the preseason once the preseason is [Music] over tuned to Weaver again beautiful route on the outside of first down with Weaver is running just a deep out of pitch route here Clayton ton lets this ball go right about now and then it gets to exactly where it needed to be without even accounting for the receiver being at this break already and we was a guy that's flash out TR ever too bright he doesn't flch and he showed up with him Jones stood up yeah a lot to like about Xavier weer weer only spent one year in Colorado but led the team with certainly you look at what happened this week with Arizona Zade Jones was suspended the first five games of the NFL regular spot at the beginning of the year at the wide receiver position for Arizona two on chased by dandre Tilman that's a great point about Z Jones because you look at their wide receiver room and you know who the they have a veteran and Chris Moore who's a special teams guy as well Zack pasel to John Palmer certain guys this is an opportunity where there's a few washer spots that are still off the grass that guys are out here trying to earn tuned to Jones at the eight and Jones Lost the football for now [Music] there's Justin sternard forc the fumble that was a shot by jard I I mean I mean you it's like a missile coming in right on the football great play by [Music] chard of the things you can do and you surprise a few teams coming off your record last year you're not going against the top teams across the league so I think and Kyler you know he's had so much success almost every level of sport from high school to college when the Heisman Trophy we we keep talking about the receiving cor for the Arizona C they're going to run the football oh time report tii sits down with Kyler Murray to discuss the upcoming season you not want to miss their chat together halime report Ki all the way out to Arizona took the red eye did Evan and Tiki on WF here's Wilson get trying to crashing down on Wilson and it's third down yeah this is another example of Zack Wilson I mean it's it's right between the numbers that is a bad decision and those are the type of decision but now a full off seon in the Jonathan Ganon Drew ping system and you got to imagine that'll certainly and one of the things that we you'll hear it is we talk about his maturity growing up and becoming more of a leader for this team it's what they need him to be receivers out Wilson is now hit on eight of his last n passes but this one is time [Applause] out well punt will'll be back in 30 seconds after this from Progressive Insurance all right protected from The Unexpected Beetlejuice call is quite a Ruckus huh Jamie don't say his name Beetlejuice saying his name three times is how you summon him right up into two parts like someone said what's your favorite bug beetle what's your favorite morning beverage there's Syracuse product Riley Dixon the Cardinals Weaver awaiting the punt at his own 20 yd High SP down at the 21 yd line a 50yd for Clayton tune to work with and Jonathan Ganon told us that was pretty pretty much going to be tuned for the first half his final chance to prove that he deserves to be the backup to Kyler Murray and he hasn't it shows you can see him feeling very comfortable so far in this game pass is batted down at the line in a two-minute situation you only get with so many of those throughout the preseason so for clay and opportunity to kind of rep it cuz in two weeks it's go time and you don't get any more audition so this is a great opportunity for them to try to pass for the players tune over the middle and that pass is c big hit on the play who made the catch and Denver will now call a timeout 30 after this from State Bar Eric Henry hey Auto okay and bundling just another way to save with the personal price plan the dog isn't allowed on the couch Derek like a good neighbor third down and four coming for the Arizona Cardinals trying to get on the scoreboard before [Applause] halftime and a flag down actually two flags on the field it's a 5yd penalty first down aazar ran out late and I think that was to be out there coming off a timeout you hate to have a subtitution especially when it leads first down it's all right there first down and 10 they run up with h coming up and henningson as well they're not playing with bad intentions this afternoon with some big hits over to tun completes this one but then the ball kedron Smith had the hit and they say the ruling on the field is a catch and then that's a close one third down and two Hall trying to pick up the first down he does oh let's go back and look at this this catch or if it is a catch so one two yeah it's a catch for sure 5 Seconds To Go tun steps up in the pocket he's going to try to keep it himself across Midfield timeouts and they're going to use one here stopping the clock with 34 seconds to play good decision by him right there with two timeouts you can go down in bounds use that timeout 34 seconds here Arizona still can work then can pick up a chunk play and still be able to use their timeout and be able to kick a field goal or a shorter pass get R back on the ball and can Jonathan gon told us that tune was just a touch ahead of Desmond Ritter in the backup quarterback in one Paul makes the catch he's got the first down sternard on the tackle and they're going to try they can 20 seconds to go a 58 yd field goal from here middle and it is incomplete dangerous pass Abrams train drain does a really good job here he has safety help over the top and was able to undercut the route and break that pass up ends up in a defender's hand and he's returning and trying to put one in the end zone for his own team yeah you've been doing that tip drill since you were eight whatever [Applause] reason still have the one timeout so they can complete a pass inbounds and now Ganon will use his final timeout so good decision there by Clayton ton and now Matt well done and well executed two-minute drill one thing we used to talk about as a team is you have the ball at the end of the two minute you want to go down there and score and then give the ball back to the other team's offense so this is a really good job by Clayton ton of driving his team down the field if this was end of game they would have much more urgency but because it's half he just want to get some points on the board before who missed earlier in the first half from 55 who owns the NFL record for the most field goals of 50 yards or longer with 80 [Music] underway down and taken out to the 30 yd line let's go out to AJ Ross Andrew Jonathan Ganon told me he liked what he saw from Clayton T in there quite frankly they need to put points on the board he also said he loved the way they were generating pressure the Cardinals defense was generating pressure with five guys all right AJ thank you very much in the NFL here in the second preseason game is going to have for the second half this is done just in case of an emergency if during a regular season game the referee was not able to Le here the final weekend of the pre-season here's Brian it's huge you get an opportunity you got to step up and show out when you turn your microphone on be ready to go that's the toughest challenge I got to imagine batty picked up three yards on first down it's second and seven [Applause] C moer on the reception is Fourth of the pre-season and Darren Hall makes the tackle a gain of 13 it's plays like goes through his reads right left comes back hits his Crosser coming across the middle perfectly thrown ball and gets up a big first down Wilson but certain times potential becomes a bad World never realized tight coverage on the play by dad Wilson I think that's what the Broncos are hoping you bring them here you give them consistent Jets so it's a little bit tougher and we've seen that with plenty of quarterbacks that have come into this league where you come in you're a high round draft Pi it doesn't go Wilson depend upon how this game goes in this season where he may end up if it's here in Denver on another team's got it and that's a first down in Arizona territory a gain of 14 tackled by luk used so much I got it it annoyed me y but this is what we're talking about this throw is slightly off of right to where it needs to be before the defender can make a move on it right between the numbers we're going here 39 hey hold up hold on yeah we're going to 39 right okay I want to go to 58 here ready 8 to 58 why 37 yd line you heard all that dialogue happening in the line of scrimmage talking to 39 calling out the mic I want toide Zone run know who they're comboing to got Joe Lombardi as his offensive coordinator also brought be carmichel over from the saint Quick Pass BTY out of the back field stays inbounds picks up and then goes out of bounds an unintentional Pig play almost right there opens up batty and the flat you're going to see right here Phil dores running an in route and just that contact either way it opens up baiting he's able to make a nice catch and get up the field d said hobbles off after the 990 players on the roster and Batty's got his jersey up so he can't see his uniform number the former Bronco Michael OJ mudia had the coverage and let's see what the call is we're going to hear from it is on OJ mudia who spent his first three seasons here in Denver yeah you see this context it just and put that thing right where it needed to be right there DB he just gets caught peeking break on Angel turns it up and he's not able to get his head around fast enough to get a tug of that Jersey and that leads to a pass interference go his way inside the 10 Now using some Force to get to the five you talk about it now but Andrew mentioned it earlier that's a nightmare in the preseason that thing is to protect your lower spine and you are going to Cur you're going to hurt something back there Bandy could not hold on and tight coverage by jayen Davis what a really good job by Davis right here and you always hear people say as a DB get your head around he's in a position right there where he's saying watch how he instantly puts his hands up there and we call that breaking the pocket pulling the receiver's arms off of the ball just a really good so third and goal oh has it but it was Jesse Letta who comes up with the sack coming on the backs side against Frank Crum Frank Crum just gets B out overbalanced over TOA and the ball does come out here luckily Zack Wilson pressing enough to jump on it so here's will Lutz to attempt a good so Wilson leads Denver to more points this time it's three and it's seven 14 to3 Denver the the rest of the receiving team is lined up in the setup zone between the 30 and 35 yd Lines no movement allowed until the ball is touch touch back and the ball is placed at the 30 yd line any kick hitting the landing Zone must be returned and any kick that goes short of the landing zone or his kick out of bounds the ball like it did in the past goes to the 40 yard to the end zone and is down that goes to the 20 and what you just saw right there is what could happen in the regular season team line and that cuts down on the returns yeah and we don't know exactly what it's going to be I went around I was giv their guys rules because they weren't sure how they were going to have to adjust after the preseason I think there's still so many questions that happs decide to deploy once the regular season starts and Tiki you mentioned change of Direction plays reverses and misdirection if you as a kickoff team are you see the ball caught you are screaming towards whoever caught it all of a sudden you get a return going the other one that might lead to what Andrew was alluding to the ball just flying through the back of the end zone give it to him on the 30 was a nice run before he slammed down there is a flag down on the play a gain of 12 you saw double pullers on this on this run it's a great play design a fantastic play design 15 yard penalty will be added to the end of the Run automatic first that goes against Tanner mallister yeah Tanner mower went down M that's a dangerous play it is and it's a scary play for the DV as well when you have this big guy coming at you o Ritter was acquired in a trade with the Falcons just his third year he was a third round pick by Atlanta man he's got a first down that's Bernhard pikovit from Austria he's a part of the NFL's internet really good ball placement by rder right here was just seeing psycho Bitz come in Works himself inside and then gets back to the outside to get it and coming down with a nice catch right there first and goal Ritter to the who was just signed to the roster on Wednesday picks up four yards we talk about them if we were playing Green Bay and I remember how important how nervous I played Dar there that entire game as a six round draft piit and I other teams that I belonged in the NFL and right now at this point in the game we're seeing guys like that ankle who was on this team I still belong on this team yeah it's always a fight even if even when you're a veteran it becomes a fight you know this Jason when you love me like the team that drafted me it becomes a completely different scenario to make the team as a veteran somewhere else here's an injur and values of the game Desmond Ritter on this drive three out of three for 38 yards and now he's looking at third down and goal Ritter on the Move looking looking looking throwing incomplete it's Fourth [Music] Down Smith has made two interceptions in the preseason playing manto man and Arizona Cardinals had three receivers on one side and one backside I thought Ritter was going to try to isol side forced to run and just throw the ball out of bounds and result in a prer field go 10 and former Bronco from 24 Y is good each team with a field goal to open up the second half and it's 17 next Saturday as his Buckey take on akan here on CBS B and to the 30 yd line we go and there's another one all it takes is for one kickoff coverage team member to get out of get out of his line get we might start seeing a lot of what we just have seen these last two kickoffs do you think it would be different if this ball was at difference that's one less first down you have to get to get to scoring range Wilson face it out of bounds good pressure and pursuit by Cameron Thomas you were able to run and build up you would place people on your kickoff team and you'd have it designated by speed so so you'd almost do it as a defense where first line of defense then you had linebackers then you'd have designated players who were safety so there were three levels to your kickoff team in the field here's Watson on the screen and he picks up seven yards on the play Marcus Bailey on the tackle clever arm angle to get that ball out to his running back it's that improvisational skill that he developing some consistency honestly I really believe that Shawn P can bring that out of him he's such a good coach he's such a good spot he sticks with his team Sean is giv us the indication he's going to keep through third down and three that's the third sack of the summer for Thomas the third-year linebacker out of San Diego State out and right there watch him with a chop down bends the angle Zach Wilson was looking for a slant and he was completely blanketed by the ATT and Frank Chrome's having a tough time over there right tackle that's the second pressure that one was a sack but he's given up first three DJ Dallas at the 19 and SP out at the 23 yd line year gives them some confidence that they can play with anyone and he said he's optimistic about the continuity they have the Murray is about to Happ and he said since they got there Kyler Murray has been awesome he's Bal into everything they've asked him to do and a really Don Gon was a defensive quality control coach I was back in 2013 and the same energy and the juice that he brings every dressed coach in the building there in Arizona and he took offense to it and told me I'm the best dress coach in the entire NFL so he's declined to go suit on the sideline like Tom L which is a wise move today because we're sweating through our suit let's go down to the sideline AJ is with Quinn Miners yeah you guys are sweating up there Quinn and I we're cool here on the sideline from from Wisconsin White Water now just getting your four-year extension here with the Broncos how amazing has this Journey been through yeah I mean well first to uh get me to where I'm at today um you know I've been playing well um you know our team's been playing well every moment that I can you started nine games as a rookie what has been your advice to some of these young guys on this team this year col you got to play discipline that was something I learned um from my uh former head coach coach Kevin Bullis at Whitewater well thank you Quinn looking forward to watching signed a big contract and he'll be here with the Broncos hope is a very long long time as belli Andre belli a third-year wide receiver has played in 13 games with the Cardinals over the last two seasons Ritter know big moments for him he's trying to make this team even though he was acquired in a trade that does not guarantee Ritter's chance on third down and six high pass that one is caught by Palmer and Palmer's going to be tackled to the first down for Arizona this is a really good job by this Denver Broncos defense they have everybody up making it look like a BL coming I'm going to throw a screen out there to Palmer to my receiver all of those guys on the snap they drop out of it and they play zone a like [Applause] that a 47 yd Punt and a 12yd return from 35 10yd penalty from the end of the kick first out Shan Peyton is not agree double header coming your way it begins at two Eastern with North Carolina taking on Kansas City and that's followed by Angel streaming on Paramount Plus so the drive for STM today he did lead them to a touchdown this will be the sixth drive up coming for Wilson 12 out of [Applause] 18 and off to Watson on first down Tri the Back Field that was Jaden Davis making the play yeah this is the nickel will when you get penetration on these midzone run a Defender Miss right as you're getting the hand off cuz the last thing you want to do is move out of the way before the ball is [Applause] SEC third down after a pick up of five miles Murphy the first to greet Blake Watson the undrafted rookie from Memphis question I have how big of a difference was it for you understanding the system understanding the game in your second year compared to your rookie year offense or defense that's being installed it's also getting acclimated to a brand new city for a lot of guys guys you might not have went away for college and also time to explore City so I think for guys when you get into year two you show to the offse program the expectations of the coaches so that jump that guys make year one and year two is often a big one because of that personal foul unnecessary roughness Defense number 94 15yd penalty will be added to the end of the Run speed of the game is what was hard to get acclimated to for me and I came in as a rookie Rie and I ended up starting right away because Rodney he was kind of getting towards the end of his career and I got a chance to play immediately and had some success but the speed starts to catch up with my fourth or fifth game and my career was kind of on the slide for a few a few weeks couple years actually but I think to answer your question specifically about an offensive system once you start getting familiarity and you can have what the desired outcome is it makes it so much easier I think as as as some of the teams that I was on got really good you weren't standing around looking at each other hey what's going on I don't I don't know I I don't know can't be the answer why well Tiki it was 2000 when Shawn Peyton the offensive coordinator of the giants made you the start as a springboard in your career he really was great for me and to me you know he come came up with this scheme the game he would call lightning Personnel lightning 21 lightning 12 when he wanted Ron it was Thunder but he also started to put in a lot of misdirection one side we'll start out that way but we'll do a scissors back the other way and we had our conversation with him I said where are sissors siss spread out offenses and tight ends who aren't as used to blocking as how Dan Campbell now the head coach the the game has evolved but Shawn has evolved with it Tikki I look at those that video why were your shoulder pads so B I should have been playing DB The Barbers and the McCord should have all been defense back there you go I defied logic 140 to go in the third quarter Wilson Quick Pass and the catch is made Dorset now in his 10th year at the age of 31 to negate or mitigate at least the hit and so he goes down too quickly instead of getting the ball in his gut where the ball was thrown a fast ball off your shoulder pad is much harder than it is out of your gut he go Wilson deep and Johnson SS at the and is down there seven yd pick up for Brandon Johnson I love what I'm seeing out of Zack Wilson Jason I mean he has both receivers up top door sets open because the safe's leaned over to the middle right there and that's just a really good decision and good throw by Zach Wilson still going get the whistle great effort by Blake Watson the a hand off he's got pressure right away he goes with the stiffy Nails it tries to you know jump through a tackle get into the end zone but what an effort they really like this kid I mean he 275,000 it's why he's getting a lot of burn letting him prove [Applause] himself himself good for Zack he deserves that another touchdown scoring Drive led by Zack Wilson yeah this is that cover two get him down to the two yd line and call your own number or Sean Peyton called your number either way it works touchdown and the extra point by Will Lutz is good with 13 seconds left in the quarter Zack Wilson smiling well he's he's achieving right now and he's being celebrated and he should a couple of since those he's been exceptional and to your point Tiki in New York and you saw glimpses where he'd have a really moments in practice this preseason though it's been consistent of him being able to move this offense and pton has said that as receptions one went off of samj perine's hands into a Colts Defender second one was tipped up by a defensive lineman it was intercepted that put points on the board and as an offensive coordinator head coach that's what you're asking these guys to do score points and they've been able to do that and and you think about Zack Wilson he is 6 months older than Bo Knicks I mean you think about Zach Wilson he's been in the 5 years old yeah it's kind of crazy you think about him Jared STS only 28 big decisions comeing rostered together remember Tuesday 4:00 Eastern Time rosters have to get down to 53 and then the next day you can start filling two or three quarterbacks do you risk cutting a Zack Wilson and if you do keep Wilson what other is an incompletion was behind the intended target Palmer and as you talk about that cut down day and it's such a and you mentioned the practice squad the crazy thing is that'll happen on Tuesday and then there will be guys that get released that other teams decide you know what now a guy who int initially thought he made the 53 man roster will now be released because another guy was claimed to fighting for their livelihood and to fulfill a lifelong dream that they've had since they were young kids dalen Baldwin one of those players foul face mask Defense number 28 15 y penalty will be add to the of the run first slips out of his break and he comes in he's just trying to make a tackle and that's one of those reasons to avoid penalties like that when a guy's playing hard it happens that's the end of the third quarter Demis season football right here on [Music] CBS your challenge lot of people are talking about the Texans this year no doubt about they have two quarterbacks in that game Anthony Richardson and CJ stra will be in their second year unbelievable as a rookie can he follow out up and get even better in year two we'll find out pretty soon here quarter a Ticky just mentioned it Richardson stad you look around the AFC and the quarterbacks are unbelievable yeah but then they don't so it just tells you how advanced the preparation for these young players has come both in college and in that for the NFL and it's happening quicker than ever Ritter to Palmer great adjustment on the sideline that's I think the other thing with these young quarterbacks is that offenses are getting um simplified a little bit more so it's similar to what they're doing in college you know re flipping formations or or pass protections of that nature like we would see pton Manning do or like you go with not use your legs create something impr improv oh with some room on the left side and then tackled by thing you said that cuz during the break we were talking about me playing against Aaron Rogers and him making calls at the line of scrimmage and laughing at see as much of that and one of the all-time great quarterbacks just went viral of him saying the game was being dumbed down for these young quarterbacks you're making plays point maybe that's more of a challenge to the defense where it's just like if it is being D down why can't you stop it yeah I think it's in bounds and it's not just you know it's almost everybody every college does this in some capacity the rpos the Run pass just straight up QB powers or QB draws that are called in the Huddle that you might say that's being dumbed down but it's allowing very high level and you only have four or five years third and three for r has him enough for a first down another tackle for mallister Caleb Hayes well Desmond Ritter 44 wins at Cincinnati the third most taken in the 2022 draft behind keny picket but 17 starts in two years for the Falcons down by Omar Brown [Music] again no gain on the play it was interesting in Atlanta and he asked why are we got to ask why are we picking high he was very simple because our quarterback you see but then going to drafting Michael PN they address the quarterb position you have the sense that in a a little bit weaker they're trying to win the NFC flag down on this play defense number 59 after this to the goal automatic first down Thomas enum called for so first and goal for Ritter and the Cardinals seventh penalty against Shawn pyton in the Broncos Assan Hall Remains the running back and gets to the three h the first year running back out of Georgia Tech he signed in mid Antonio this Broncos defense has been really good against a run into the regular season but it's been impressive from the starters on down to the reserves these guys have taken pride of not allowing anyone to run the B intended for whiteart and that was Tilman who got his hand up because if he doesn't tip that ball they walk into the end zone a good job by him he always used to tell those big defensive linemen hey and right there tman does that and comes away with a big pass break up yeah you were right Alec ma the linebacker was late getting over touchdown so after spending over 3 minutes in the Red Zone on this drive Hassan Hall as we'll see we see the replay of this run this fantastic jump cut and sort of powers his way lifts and Powers his way into the end zone and Arizona is going to go rder and it's Bren that's a really nice play by Quint so the Cardinals get in the end zone but they do not convert on the two-point conversion and here in the a two-time first team all proo congratulations to the Broncos Legend partake in an orange crush after this game is over you know what that is right it's a grand Mar we've officially hit the fourth quarter of the preseason that took a left to be down in the end zone and Zack Wilson coming back out you look at Wilson's numbers today 15 out of 23 205 yards and a touchdown touchdown Jared did him played just the one drive Bo Knicks not playing today was named the starter on in 1983 and Sean Peyton told us that during this week of practice they worked on crowd noise with the Seattle Seahawks and you know it'll be rocking up in Seattle yeah that stadium is as loud as any Stadium down back onto the field and times we played there I couldn't even hear the quarterback in the Huddle and they're good each other just to communicate in between steers there's a reason why they call him the 12 there yep wison in trouble he is sacked Phil Hoskins picks up the sack his second year with the 12 on the play Phil Hoskin just bull rushes Alex foresight there Zack Wilson man Rush right there no speed no moves I'm just going to run through you and go introduce myself to your quarterback Arizona defense and now third and long and that was Miles Murphy who got his big paw up there so a quick three it out forced by see miles Murphy just throwing his hands up in the air good awareness of reading Zach's slight [Applause] path DJ Dallas is back deep to receive the punt from [Applause] Tren Gil booms one and bounces 53 yd punt a net of 53 but that Kil doesn't care 73 yards and he's in that's my bro he's great player I'm very excited for him to have another great year we continue to get better continue to be great and uh he's just a changeable at positions so there's sometimes he wants to play certain positions sometimes I want to play certain positions it's it it doesn't matter and uh you know that's my little bro it's no secret that you know opposing offenses will key in on you how much do you appreciate that as a sign of respect and how do you end of the day you know it's control what you can control and um you know I just try to play the game at a high level take one play at a time and you know they kind of just tell me tell me what it is so I understand but um you know I'm I'm trying to get near the football and uh AJ thank you and he'll be another huge part of this defense like he always is and it's a defense that lost BJ o we also need to mention that their firstr pick Darius Robinson the 27th overall selection at of in practice on Thursday and he is out multiple weeks that's a big loss for Jonathan Ganon and the Cardinals it is because he said D that defensive line they were going to be able to move him around and play other people off of him but that was the one thing John Ganon say but he knew there were going to be other ones that came up in this season he probably was hoping it wouldn't come so soon but they're going to have to kill that Gap and that's broken up getting a hand on it was Art green and on fourth down the C just really good coverage by Arc Green in his back pedal and how he stays Square now he gets away with a little tug at the top end was excellent excellent technique for green to Come Away with a pass break up on third [Applause] down Bandy from the 28 Ryan he's our guy we LED working with him last year he's off to the NFL today in the studio but it is nice to hear someone talk about defense there's the other side of the field oh yeah we got to count for them as well Matt would have been saying he got away with passing the correct you hear I described it just a SL our DB coach would be saying in the meeting room that's partun of because he did he did get away with the push so it goes both counter that tug low a little bit Watson finds a hole and takes it seven for the rookie out of Memphis after that last punt from the Denver Broncos that we saw 73 y the football is still a game of field position as much as we want to talk about big plays and yada y yada field positional so far have done a good job with managing field and dominating a little bit of field position in this preseason last preseason game Jones so we mentioned that Denver opens up on the road in their schedule week one at Buffalo and then three straight home games for Jonathan Ganon they host the Rams home in his second year they're a confident team feel like they can surprise a few a few teams well it's going to start early on cuz you look at those first three games going to have to come play and then at the very bottom of that list is the San Francisco 49ers and a commanders team that's hoping to get things going so that's a like they won't have Darius Robinson first round pick won't have Zade Jones suspended going to have to come out [Applause] touchdown Brandon Johnson look we could talk about this throw but Veron McKinley the third had a chance for a big [Applause] hit Jaden Davidson just completely whipped on it didn't make a play at the ball didn't make a play on the receiver practice this rep where you're coming out the middle and you're breaking and you want to show the coach I'm here and had this been a game situation over top of Johnson which allows him to catch the ball very just weird sequence of not going in making a hit right there through that ball I'm just in visually tracking the intersection I'm like all right where's this going to it looks like it's too close to the number as you'll see it here Jaden Davis just what's he doing oh that Denver has to make in their wide receiver room by Tuesday it's a happy problem but they've got guys that other teams are and they're going to have to let some go and guys who have played little Jordan Humphrey played a lot last year we haven't seen him today Brandon Johnson the better part really the entir two full season was likely on the bubble but then he scores his first touchdown last week and emotionally how you think about the construction of your team when so many guys were so happy to see Tim B Patrick back now he's one of years go and third down conversion receptions so you know there's a value to them but they've been a lot of draft and free agency and Sean loves those guys well you think about the wide receiver room courland Sutton's a lock Tim Patrick probably going to make it Marvin Mims is definitely on the team that's four Troy Franklin who they drafted Franklin was a fourth round pick they're not going to cut him that's five those guys are on the team then Brandon Johnson isn't David Sills isn't Michael Bandy isn't Jaylen Virgil isn't Philip d that the Broncos unfortunately are not going to be able to keep in that same breath we have to give Shawn Peyton and problem to have we always said you put the competition in the room the cream always Rises to the top it works itself out and all of these guys are con certain situations that teams have and you start to say hey this guy's released we're going to get him and we're claiming him and we have a spot for him on our L he rumbles into Denver territory before Caleb Hayes makes the tackle a 21 it's interesting for we having the conversation about wide receivers for the Denver Broncos for the Arizona Cardinals their running back room is on the sideline earlier in the broadcast but Trey Benson who they drafted from Florida State de makado who was good last course of his first 45 years coming over from Seattle and now Hassan Hall is just trying to make a team and it just feels like he's going to be an let go and not knowing if you can get him back on your practice squad is a big fear for all general managers across the league and final preseason game and if you make a mistake and you're thinking well that could be it if you make a play you're thinking well maybe that got me on the team as where sometimes you're sitting in a hotel room all day or you're sitting around your family and you're hoping your phone doesn't ring and you're not getting a call you're on the football team just a roller coaster of emotions for these players young and old we mentioned Philip Dorset as a 10-year veteran humble us all at some point that was a 27 yd run for Ritter trying to make something a four yd pickup for Hassan Hall you think about in this second half we're watching Desmond rder and Zack Wilson two guys who started a lot in these last few years fought on the Rost yeah good point Denver calls it timeout with 4:15 to play and we talked about the after that week one matchup on the road in Seattle they have a very intriguing week two game which you'll see H to take on Shawn pyton and the Broncos I know that the NFL uses a computer algorithm to make the schedule talk about it but that's be story line LVL Bailey got his hand on that one and there is a fifth round pick out of Texas personal foul ruffy the passer Defense number 15 that's the second correction number 92 okay it was on dandre Tilman not Thomas incon but Jones the off hitting Ritter so hard right into Jones Tilman called for the penalty and now Ritter struck around the head you lose your helmet it's almost automatic you're going to get tested for concussion thought his day was done now comes back in the game to be the Arizona quarterback two inter picked off by lville Bailey a cut back of the go the wrong tune there and LVL Bailey the undrafted rookie at of Fresno State a 94 yd pick six exceptionally done but got coming off the bench drinking Gatorade for 34s now has to get right back into back is picked and gone the [Applause] distance sea pyton has talked about that Denver locker room and then he makes a play like that you see everyone celebrate around him those are the types of plays that search for point is good 38-2 in favor of Denver the Bailey he's right there jamed and now he's just reading the eyes of playay and T and right there he's trying to F just takes advantage of it and what I love right there when you see that head point to the sky he is giving it everything he got he almost intercepted by two guys right there on the Broncos just a bad throw byon t no you know what that mean when your head is up that means your hamstrings well tonight on CBS begins with 60 minutes and Tennis Novak jokovic then that's tonight on CBS Sunday you mentioned Clayton tun he was done at the half feeling pretty good about his perform point of that is that's exactly what he's needed to do if for some reason Kyler Murray goes down for a play and he's got to come in on Clayton tun's part it was way inside of the attended wide receiver on the field it's Alec mock the rookie linebacker out of Air Force yeah it looks like he's got a cramp when they going to extend that calf hamstring area so you can let that KN kind at all when I was in high school I'd cramp just about every game and it just couldn't work but there's so many different things you saw right there they gave him mat and Desmond Ritter seem to be walking into the locker room after taking that big hit from Tillman on the series before the locker room mock walks back to the Denver sideline Andrew I should have been with turn into yeah I don't think we have to worry about that if I ever cramp I'll just take a cart instead of walk on that side here's [Applause] Hall gets a yard on the guys that I thought we might see today we didn't and you wonder if that's are the GMS trying to hide these guys so other defense we did not see s Peron for Denver a guy that is on the bubble to make the roster and you wonder what's behind who started this game it's also trying to get a look at Blake Watson but s Peron was the third down back for this young group of running backs one thing that you don't want to do is put them in a position where they mess up pass protection and get your qu leaves that he has someone who can feel that role that's younger and make it maybe more Dynamic and be samaj on on the verge of likely not making this team and Tiki how important is that a veteran or a guy that can pick up we said it you're going on the road Seattle week one you may want to have a Sam P line in there two-minute drill third down situation you know as a quarterback you can there's a couple of ways to fix pressure or you know pressure is coming one is just to throw it high right I know who's coming also going to be young they have to know you can try to fix it right get up there and move the move the protection Rocko Leo or you can get up and change the play but as a rookie quarterback how much how much leeway you going to give a rookie to change the play First Sunday of the regular season you take a look at the CBS lineup for week one and our crew the Colts take on the Houston Texas can't wait to get it going two weeks from today feel like all of my moves right here in the booth can we roll that in we have video of that that's a great Point Tiki we're still figuring Jason out but I I don't know if I feel that way either I think like Tiki said he was going to get an orange crush the world right we all be dancing waiting for the red eye back three hours well we didn't know much about you coming into today but we've learned a lot over the last few third down and six and it looks like Jonathan Ganon and the Cardinals content with trying to run out the clock to S halls and that's good enough for a first down and that could be it one more play and it will be it Broncos offense five touchdowns by five different players at [Applause] three himself up and the preseason will come to a close for both the Cardinals and Thea finishes 0 and three but the real thing is just two weeks away boys that was a fantastic trial run I look forward to working with you it was we were live 38 to 12 Broncos beat the Cardinals a reminder tonight
