let's play a little music shall we let's turn that Echo [Music] off we got the Reverb on the music we don't have the echo we don't want to have the echo of me talking and messing this up orange and blue today on a Saturday one day before the Broncos wrap up their preseason against the Arizona Cardinals I don't know if you were watching any pre-season football today I had my eyes on a little bit of it yes I'll admit I had my eyes on Russell Wilson and the Steelers Wilson one drive one touchdown and then done and Mike Tomlin not naming a starter but all signs pointing to Russell Wilson being the starting quarterback which means he'll be on the field in week two but that's not what we're concerned about here all that much Andrew Mason getting it started with you on a Saturday afternoon no what we're concerned with as we continue to hear the cned rock music letting it breathe a little bit today with Cecil Lamy On Assignment you'll hear from him post game after Sunday's game with the Cardinals but it's where the Broncos stand where do things stand in terms of the 53 player roster they have to be down to 53 by Tuesday and there are some tough decisions coming and the tough decisions I think start with quarterback because in a vacuum you might you you'd be advised to keep all three quarterbacks they do something different uh Zach Wilson certainly brings some potential bonick obviously the starter and Jarrett SS in his second year in the offense he knows what he's doing but you start looking around the roster and you and when you really kind of start carving down to 53 there are some tougher cuts for example tougher cuts of younger players perhaps we're going to get into that and that's why there's there is a legitimate question can the Broncos keep three quarterbacks I think they will and Shawn pton certainly is showing signs that he will do just that in fact he did talk about that on Friday I think we've studied 14 last year you know the 32 teams just under half the league and I know the rule recently changed where if in fact you do this came after the 49ers Eagles game um that third comes up without any count you know and so but but ultimately I think most importantly um you're really looking at your assets when we make that decision so of course Shawn payon talking about the third quarterback that's the rule that's changed in the wake of that uh January 23 NFC Championship game Philadelphia and San Francisco when it looked like the 49ers would be caught short at the quarterback position potentially so you can keep a a third quarterback and then there's a spot for him on the active roster that doesn't count against your to your regular total of game day active so you're you're covered that you're covered that way but man I mean you start looking at some Cuts I mean like I you I I brought I'll bring up kedon Smith for example the safety doing really well and as we get into the roster and I'm going to go through the roster position by position here over the next several minutes uh is there room for kedron Smith especially when you have someone like JL Skinner who they did like last year it's been up and down for him in Camp he's clearly behind Devin key in terms of the the safeties and of course those are the two behind uh PJ lock and Brandon Jones KRON Smith's playing better right now you could say than JL Skinner even though Smith has been on lower tier of the dep chart here's what Vance Joseph had to say on Thursday about KRON Smith back there at safety well we have a lot of young guys playing well you know he's one of them obviously he's had two good weeks he's a guy that's played some Corner nickel and safety for so he's got the traits that we like you know he gets the ball he's uh he's got man cover skills he can Blitz he can tackle that's been impressive you know watching him tackle and make calls because this this his first time playing safety at a full-time appointment so he's tackling he's making plays and he can surely cover so that's a skill set that you always want you know guys who can get the ball in the back end yeah two interceptions in two games for kedon Smith some of it is right place at the right time but being able to procure that ball when it's available that is a skill and you are looking for ball skills at the safety position some of the comments coming in Detroit Michigan control by the way I Gotta Throw This graphic up here because Detroit Mission Control did send me something earlier today and it sort of sums up theat era it sums up what the roster is going to look like what are we thinking we're nixing to find out ah you know what the best thing is I've got a I got a gift for that you can hear the rim shot in your mind can't you all right um elsewhere elsewhere in the comments we got um Tom checking in saying I'm reminded of eang bass's performance last season when I think of kedron Smith St and of course yeah eang Bassie was around the ball then got plenty of playing time early eang Bassie basically became the scapegoat in week three when the Broncos gave up 70 and he got cut so that is actually a pretty fair comparison and maybe also it shows that perhaps too much was asked of he Sayang Bassie the thing with Bassie though is you had him in for a few years by that point he bounced off and on on your On The Fringe of the roster really going all the way back to 2020 you knew who he was at that point KRON Smith coming in this year much more of the unknown rort checking in saying who's your biggest Riser and Faller of the off season oh wow biggest Riser well he was going to make the roster anyway but boy I've been impressed with how Jonah Ellis has taken to things especially during training camp he's probably my biggest Riser of training camp uh so far um biggest biggest Faller oh wow that's tough that's tough one um we'll see I I'll tell you what I've got uh as I go through the tackles for example I've got uh Matt perr not making the 53 and I think the plans were that he would make it seeing some of the things that have been done like they Alex paleski their trying him at guard as well and as well as being the swing tackle um I could see a a future where maybe the Broncos decide to go young with the backups behind Mike mcui and uh Mike Mike mcgi and Garrett BS perhaps Matt perrot is a guy they think they can slip through the practice squad because another thing that comes into play here there's a lot of mechanisms in regards to the roster a thing that comes into play is that if you are vested veteran more you know at least four years of service in the NFL you are released you're not waved so you can go to that player when he's released and say look this is the plan for you if we bring you back to the practice squad to maybe to active activate you so it's like we saw last year Thomas incum JL Skinner wen't among the best 53 but the Broncos didn't think they could expose them to waivers and so they cut other guys and brought them back look for some things like that and maybe someone like Matt par for example is a player that they cut bring back to the practice squad you could see that also happening with Lil Jordan Humphrey I think traymon Smith on the defensive side is another candidate misplaced Alaska I keep forgetting to thank you for replacing that let's ride Banner oh yeah I got a lot of feedback although there I know there's at least one viewer one regular viewer who wants to see the whole banner and right now you can only see like the orange Sun but um yeah that's one of those things where for a while I was determined and stubborn to leave it up to say hey let's learn from history and then I just I relented yeah I I I wimped out on that one I just I didn't want to I it was it was ticking people off I'm you know occasionally I tick people off but I'm not actively trying to tick people off although I probably ticked off a few people in buff Nation over the last uh 24 hours with my comments on a certain um football coach and his dealing with the media but we're not here to talk about that we're here to talk about the Denver Broncos and we're here to go through the 53 player roster so let's get started with the quarterback position that's obvious now the question and it let off the show is do you keep all three I've got the Broncos keeping all three even though if you listen to Shawn pyton and what he said to Diana and Chase Daniel last week There's you know there's some there could be something going on with Zack Wilson this freaking Zach Wilson now the last week and a half that's great I grabbed him and I said look I just want you to focus on having fun and playing my job is to make you Millions either with us or for another team wow his last two weeks have been been outstanding now certainly that would put Zack Wilson on the market but I think when when Shawn Payne is talking about that I think he's talking more about the notion having Zack Wilson around for the year and he keeps referring to all three quarterbacks and like using the future tents he will you know we will have them around he said that I believe three days ago uh when he was talking about the quarterback position so I read that is he wants all three around now could you slip Jarrett St him to the practice squad yes but you run a risk even though you can tell him hey we're going to bring bring you back we're going to promise you this if you're the Green Bay Packers and your backup quarterback situation is Sean Clifford and Michael Pratt and you just saw Jarrett STM and Jarett STM made some plays on you Jarett stum is an upgrade at backup quarterback behind Jordan love if they brought him in and the Packers could simply offer him a better opportunity than the Broncos could at that point so if you really want Jarry St him around I think you have to keep him on the 53 let's go to running back this is an interesting position it won't surprise you that I don't have samaj perine on the 53 and samaj perine we could be talking about on Sunday as being that guy who is showcased for a potential trade in fact he's one of the players that I identify as potential trade bait the others being Zack Wilson Jarett to him I don't I think to a much lesser degree if you get an offer that knocked your socks off and Brandon Johnson an experienced receiver I think the Broncos may try to dangle him out there but at the same time the thing with Brandon Johnson is every team's got wide receivers that they like right that's the thing it there's no shortage of wide receivers so I don't think Brandon Johnson ends up in the mix we've discussed Blake Watson a little bit I don't think he's shown enough and I think maybe the Broncos try to hide him on Sunday if they have him out there on Sunday it'll be fasting to see what call they make because if he goes out there and plays well well Blake Watson is a player that a lot of teams had drafted able grades on including the Broncos if alri EST had fallen off the board before they picked in round five Blake Watson May well have been the pick right then and there to tell you kind of where he stacked up in terms of uh draft prospects this year got the Broncos keeping a fullback that's Michael Burton I think he's a security blanket and we know Shawn pton likes his fullbacks onto the offensive line and it's pretty interesting here I've got them going with eight no surprise the first five Garrett BS Mike mlink she Quinn Miners Ben Powers Luke wattenberg Alex paleski he's kind of maybe be they're hoping to make him that Quinn Bailey Super Sub that can handle all four spots Calvin throck Morton that's a call I made based on what I saw last week I liked what he did particularly when you got out there and had him pulling uh out on some screen plays he looked pretty good filling it for Ben Powers and then powers of course if you're concerned about the injury going forward in into the short term of the regular season you definitely want to have an experienced interior presence around and then Alex foresight and this is more I think Sam muster they could potentially slip through the practice squad I think there's less of a chance on a young guy like Alex foresight slipping through so those are the eight uh that I've got there on the off on the offensive line with your depth coming from the practice squad could be a Matt parrot slipping in the practice squad could be Sam muster slipping in the practice squad you might see deontre Jacobs will Sherman although Sherman May kind of be in a little a little bit even on the outs practice squad wise and also Frank Crum and Frank Crum the Broncos kind of like Blake Watson a priority undrafted s earlier this year Blake Watson but like Blake Watson I think they'll try to find a way to keep Frank Crum around crum's clearly not in the best 53 and I don't think he's done enough to where he's going to be posted probably much less of a threat of him being posted than Blake Watson if he's out there but I think you'll see Crum on the pra on the practice squad let's see um Detroit Michigan trol talking about Devon V in the comments biggest Riser okay yeah that's probably a good choice for the for the biggest Riser and I would say he's going to be on the roster in fact let's get to the wide receiver position real fast I've got six courland Sutton Tim Patrick Josh rins Marvin Ms Jr Troy Franklin Devon V I don't see the Broncos trading any of the top four at this point Mims even though he's struggled on the offensive side Mims brings too much in the return game and as Ben kwika pointed out uh he's involved with the back end of the roster and as he says special teams really do matter so you know to the question as far as those final roster spots we have a vote and so when do I say we as coach westoff and Coach banjo and myself in regard to the impact that uh that player makes on special teams the cool thing about coach pton is there is an emphasis in that phase of the game and so it's just not you know lip service I mean it's backed up by action and so I would share with you that the value in the Special Teams phase of the game can move and it's not only the roster you know you're 53 but you're also talking practice squad I mean now the way the rules are that's really an extension of your of your roster with the elevations that you can make yeah and I think the practice squad that's where a name who's not on this list comes into play and that name I'm talking about is Lil Jordan Humphrey who the Broncos played the practice squad elevation game with last year used those elevations eventually moved him up to the 53 I think there's a very good chance if you cut L Jordan Humphrey he passes through he'd be a release not a waiver claim so you tell them hey we're going to use you on teams we're going to use you in with the elevations and eventually get you back on the 53 I think he's in a comfortable situation Shawn Payton trusts him I think he's incredibly valued by Ben kwika Mike westoff and Chris banjo on the special team side so you didn't see Lil Jordan Humphrey on that six what wide receiver list but I think you're going to see him on the Broncos over the course of the entire year tight ends I've had four Peg for this team pretty much all the way through haven't seen anything to change that Nate Atkins they like his versatility awful lot Lucas scroll hasn't been consistent but there's there the the dynamic moments with him and the other thing is Greg dolc he stayed healthy knock on wood or whatever surface you can find but at the same time do you really want to have him as the only viable pass catching downfield threat in that room that's why I think you keep Lucas croll as well and the N Troutman there at the top of the depth chart now we get to the defense and this is where it gets interesting there are two areas you'll see I've got an ore at the back end of the depth chart you see there defensive line I've got six Zack Allen Malcolm Roose John Franklin Myers DJ Jones Angelo blackon now Jones it's interesting because the Broncos could get some significant cap savings by cutting him but he's had a good camp and with what they've done to bolster that unit they're not going to rely on him to play as much I think you're going to get better work from him DJ Jones's body type unfortunately it's not the type that ages really well it's also not the type that lends itself to playing more than 40% of the snaps I think they're going to get a good they're GNA get a good rep count out of DJ Jones for him and he'll be effective I love Malcolm roin there at John Franklin Myers or pardon me Zack Allen was talking earlier this week about kind of the how it's a good room and I think Malcolm roach's personality has brought something to that room angel black since have had a really good camp just keeps on flashing and then that last spot this you know Jordan Jackson and Matt hingson this may well come down to who are you more likely to pass through to the practice squad uh and while henningson has not had the flashes that he had in previous pre-seasons at least not yet there's time for him to change that on Sunday that type of player that plugger that guy who can play all three spots on the line he's a quick learner that and and even helps some of the younger guys you know get get things down pat that is something that does have value and so henningson is the type that if you put him on waivers and as a third-year veteran he's subject to the waiver Clan process I would not be surprised to see someone else pick him and so that may come into play with the final decision there at defensive line Edge rusher only got four Baron Brown and Jonathan coop for Nick Bonito Jon Ellis thought long and hard about Dandrea Tillman thought long and hard about Thomas inum inum had some flashes earlier in training camp that first week and a half with the pads he was dominating every day Thomas inun was making a play it's tailed off and certainly he hasn't had the same kind of flashes in preseason games so maybe that throttles him back to where you could pass him through the practice squad Jonah Ellis really coming on like that he's I mean he looks like if they had to start him he could do very well in there so that's that's been a promising sign for the Broncos on the edge he you know they rolled the dice on Jonah Ellis in round three basically saying okay he had that great four game stretch for Utah last year can't before he got injured can he channel that is that something that reflects what Jonah Ellis can be as a pro the reason why he dropped is because that was really it for him plus he had the injury so there are reasons why he lasted round three but if you went by the best sustained performance that he had last year that he' never had before and thought okay if we can we can replicate that this is a player that's the kind of dice role you take on the tion round three and I think so far it's working out at defensive line Sam asked about wazar thought about him as well I think it's more practice squad for him I think all the stuff that went on with um the the gambling charges that were dropped in ter because they were dropped because of improperly obtained evidence uh back in Iowa I think that's the kind of thing that may lead some teams to stay away if you're rolling the dice I think you've got a pretty good chance of getting a wazar to the pra to the to the practice squad back to tight end for a moment Phil says we need more hands tight ends uh you might be waiting until for agency in the draft next year on that one you may just be forced to write out with what you've got William calano says think you keep henningson because he knows VJ system at this point well I mean he does that that is certainly helpful you also have a new defensive line coach there in the room and so a new voice that can actually um that can that can change things a little bit Sam Parnell asking would Nate Atkins slide through the practice squad uh they didn't think he really they didn't uh think he would last year and I don't think they think he will this year the versatility he has running back fullback tight end uh special teamer as well he's a core special teamer that's something that I think will probably push him down uh would would would push him onto the 53 and would Ure that if you cut him you may not be bringing him back inside linebacker now I'm going with five not four at inside linebacker going with five and I have lvll Bailey there is your undrafted rookie on the 53 so I'm I'm projecting this the streak all but one year since I believe uh 200 2004 is uh when the streak started all but one year you've had at least one undrafted rookie on the initial 53 I think that'll be level Bailey Justin sternad I would actually say this on sternad versus Bailey baile haly may get on the field before sternad if there are injuries at inside linebacker sternad is back for special teams and as I noted and as I played in that clip from Special Teams coordinator Bena that's going to have a big play in the back end of the roster they're special teamers and there there are some maybe be practice squad like uh little Jordan Humphrey which I project for him for some guys that's going to be on the 53 although Justin sternad vested veteran so possible that you may be able to pass him through on to the secondary cornerback no surprises here I think I've got six Pat cang jayquan McMillan Riley Moss Levi Wallace although we're g to find out a little bit about where he stands with his hamstring assuming he plays on Sunday as expected deari matthysse and Chris abam drain Wallace a little interesting thing because if he can't stay healthy like if the hamstring flares up on Sunday and limits him there's a little thing that's changed this year in terms of injured reserve and the roster you can have two players that you designate on Tuesday as injured reserve designated to return they don't have to be on the 53 for a day with two guys like in years past you have to put them on the 53 for a day and then put them on IR now this year you can do two players that are not on your 53 but go on ir and they can return after four weeks so let's say Levi Wallace the hamstring flares up that may get you an extra roster spot if you decide okay we're going to wait four weeks but also you may not want to wait four weeks because you want to have an experienced Reserve there uh beyond beyond what you have you've got you know Chris Abrams drain as a rookie Demari matthysse year three bch last year Riley Moss looks like he's the starter the punitive starter at CB2 but still not very experienced on the safety this is another or right there with JL Skinner or kedron Smith I'm sure PJ lock Brandon Jones Devin key no surprises there uh for the top three the question may come down to who is more likely to pass through to to the practice squad and pass through waivers delarian Turner Yale you're GNA get him back uh at some point likely uh October off of the pup list so he won't count to the 53 and real quick speaking of that I just want to touch on EDG rusher one more time because you'll notice only th You're Expecting Drew Sanders back in October or November from the torn Achilles there's your extra guy in there and yes Drew Sanders at this point probably appears to factor more as an edge than an inside linebacker in terms of the Broncos uh planning purposes going forward uh for this year and Beyond let's just check the comments real quick uh Conga Hydra keep Smith instead of key at safety that could be a practice squad type of move there in terms of manipulating it but Devin key getting some first team reps getting some Stars while Brandon Jones has been dealing with a hamstring injury does that mean there's less a chance of slipping him to the to the practice squad Jules making a good point that lavel Bailey has mentioned him uh he mentioned him in the um in the interview with Diana Rini Chase Daniel a week ago also was mentioned L Bailey all the way back in May during during rookie mini camp and OTAs as well L Bailey and in fact during otaa said levale Bailey is one of the guys in the mix even to start at that point now it's kind of gone away from that it does look like it's going to be Cody Barton and Alex Singleton as a starting tuome doesn't mean they're not high on LV lval Bailey um this group scares me outside of Singleton referring to the inside linebackers um yeah that's that's something the Broncos may want to address but let's see where Griffith is coming off of the injury of course he did get banged up last week but then was a you know has gotten back to work since then Conga Hydra saying I bet it was R doesn't make oh boy oh boy yeah yeah you yeah there's really only one thing I have for that I mean that's that's kind of low but yeah yeah you earned that one you really did oh man we're G have to let let that one go I guess yep indeed butum uh good afternoon Michael appreciate you and everyone writing with me Joey Jody with an interesting question do you anticipate as picking someone off another team yeah that's why I'm projecting the Tuesday 53 it may look different by Wednesday I think safety's in play I think backup offensive tackle is in play I could even see maybe inside linebacker in play as you get to a day later and maybe make a claim or two the Broncos they're sitting 12th in the waiver claim list just like the draft so no guarantee that they can pick up anybody they want I still think they should have taken that higher waiver claim number five last year for more than a ride appreciate the kind words alen appreciate all for you listening and watching I appreciate all of you joining me here on this uh Saturday afternoon this un relatively unplanned show well I shouldn't say I've been planning it I just didn't know when today I was going to do it that's why I didn't say oh we're doing a three oh we're doing a four I didn't know I was working on Graphics I had to go write a little Russell Wilson story because let's face it people click on Russell Wilson stories I mean yeah clickbait whatever I get it people click on it I wrote a bunch of stories last weekend couple from the game a couple on Todd Hilton you know being honored by the Rockies as he goes into the Baseball Hall of Fame pton Manning giving a great speech honoring Todd hton at corfield even wrote about Randy Gregory getting cut by the bucks he even wrote about Teddy brigwater with his preseason coaching debut by the way big big shout out to Teddy for winning his actual coaching debut at M Miami Northwestern High School uh this past week so yeah Teddy on moving on to what Chuck null would call his life's work looks like he's going to do very well giving back to the community uh that raised him he's a Miami Northwestern Alum the team even plays on Teddy Bridgwater field which I believe came from out of the big contract that he got in Carolina in 2020 which was made possible by the work he did for Shawn pyton as his fill in quarterback back in 2019 don't think that I've forgotten about special teams you know I would not forget about special teams in this roster equation and I've got Riley Dixon winning the punting battle Fon and will Lutz rounding out the specialist they Ben kwika did say a couple of days ago that the preseason games do weigh a little bit heavier in terms of that the thing with Raleigh Dixon versus Trent and Gil you know me I've been checking the Hang times charting the distances Etc most days Trent and Gil will have the single best punt he's got a cannon the consistency isn't there and as you saw in his first couple of punts last Sunday the hang time wasn't there like you'd like I mean I had a couple of hang times that were sub40 which is a coverage nightmare if you if you kick it out of Bounds at least you're minimizing the damage but if that thing is 3.85 seconds and it's down the middle you're in trouble you're allowing a big return so I think Riley Dixon a little bit more of a security blanket at this point for the Special Teams that's why I think he's going to make it I mentioned the trade bait earli I'm we going talk about some young players on the bubble just to kind of get into them um mentioned you know kedron Smith JL Skinner I think they're fighting for one spot LVL Bailey on the bubble Thomas incum even though I don't have him on the 53 very much on the bubble right now uh Tyler batty and Blake Watson and this is where if you go light at another position and you go heavy at a running back now then the question becomes okay who is more likely to pass through waivers it's batty batty being in his third year out from college very good chance that even with his strong preseason play he isn't going to be picked up Blake Watson you're closer to the draft he's still kind of the newer shinier toy basically as teams do their evaluation and look into that you know a running back who like batty who respectfully to him he was out there for rookie mini camp heading into his third off season that's not a good sign that's why I think someone like batty I I I think it's likely batty is on the practice squad I think Blake Watson he's around one way or the other but you may run the risk of losing him if you expose him to waivers that's something to keep an eye on it Blake Watson might end up being this year's JL Skinner perhaps uh Troy Franklin could also be another JL Skinner uh for for this year as for what's going to happen with the roster got to bring that up again we're Nixon to find out oh man I actually had a went a little crazy on streamyard today so we add a few gifts didn't get a chance to use this one because sometimes my head is spinning didn't get a chance to use this one that's Brock oivo when he's asked about Andy Janovich by the way it's it's nice to always feel that way about somebody find somebody who sees you the way brocko Leo sees Andy janovic right there Sean pton with a shrug from the draft press conference uh and then this is an oldie but goodie you know if i' if I'd had a chance I think I would have worked one of those in today so anyway that's what I add to it let's go to the comment section real quick I love love hearing for you this is H from Jules love seeing mace having fun and getting more comfortable with the system yeah there's a lot to process here like um doing a show writing solo the video the gifts all that thanks for bearing with me this is this is something new for me here being able to run it like this uh but it's appreciated you know Virginia Hernandez representing Chief's Kingdom hey thank you for watching I don't care if you're a Chiefs fan thank you for watching like we appreciate the audience yes maybe you're going to come and mess up the comment section but Chiefs fans Raiders fans you know what you can watch this show it's okay you might be hate watching it I am not offended by anyone hate watching this that's fine thank you Dom Jero thank you for your football knowledge on this this Saturday afternoon yes I'm gonna exchange this for the other football as soon as I wrap this up head down and watch uh some USL Championship switchbacks versus New Mexico United the I25 Derby coming up uh uh tonight uh three Peak coming Virginia Hernandez says for the Chiefs all right yeah whatever they're not going to get three repeat I'm going to pick it right now jwes are you streamyard myself I know the pain haha yeah it's it's a little bit Kyle Elijah Garcia oh you know what he's still here he exploded last summer like one of my favorite players during the preseason and then got out there got a sack and then went back to being inactive in the regular season and looking at how they're utilizing players I think he's just somebody that unfortunately looks like he's fallen out of favor maybe he sticks on the practice squad he have 16 spots um but I don't think it's a guarantee that he sticks it's it's it's not been as explosive of Summer unfortunately for Elijah Garcia which is too bad I really like the guy so Daniel Jay hey you're doing great thank you and for some reason I have this uh vision of the I wish I had the gift of the Ned Flanders in child uh stay the course big Ned you're doing super yeah like that that's kind of what I think cona Hydra is Jano still in the league Andy janovic is not in the league unfortunately um I'm trying to think when was the last time you know what I'm gonna cheat I'm gonna look it up here when was Andy jovic's last game let's see he's a former American football fullback according to Wikipedia and his oh bounc the Texans in 20222 and that was it so yeah love Jano always love Jano around here Robert Johnson asking how do you think bonus will play at Seattle one of the toughest NFL Road environments and against a kick and sink a defense that'll throw the kick and sink at him it's like you've been listening to our show we've been talking about we're gonna get more into this in in week one I expect Mike McDonald to throw everything at bonck not just because he's a rookie but he's a defensive-minded coach coming over from Baltimore Seattle as an organization usually is defined by its defense that's their identity typically it's an atypical Seahawks defense in terms of talent although they've got some interesting pieces but struggled mightily last year on that side of the ball I think he's going to want to shake things up and and make some moves I think we'll see a lot from Seattle on on that game and it may be a challenge for bonck but here's the thing if they Blitz you know what if you you just got to find the open man Blitz means somebody is open coverage is being sacrificed when you Blitz bonix has got to get comfortable with that and understand that they're going to try to confuse him hopefully he'll handle it well Germaine torren I think Skinner is safe just the way Shawn was talking about his progress yeah I've asked Sean about Skinner's progress a couple of times over the last few months I'm kind of you know Skinner it's it he's a guy I root for um last year was kind of rough for him at times he had the support of teammates like one of the guys who really had his back in the meeting room was Justin Simmons but that's that's just the kind of guy Justin is like you know that's that's the thing but rport third quarterback sacrific is one of these young players yeah and I've seen the argument that this team being young looking ahead of the future maybe that's a reason to go light at quarterback uh ra you know rather than keeping three you know again what's more valuable to you Zach Wilson Jarett did him or kedon Smith might even come to that Alan Anderson I wish we have picked at Mat Risa yeah all the charges were were cleared um he had that legal that civil case against him and that uh was a was I believe not not just uh settled but dropped outright um and when that happened the Chiefs pounced they let Tommy Townsen walk mat Arisa who earned the nickname punt God at San Diego State had some of those punts that went viral you may have even seen them on my feeds uh he's going to be with Kansas City and you know what dude's got field flipping ability practice squad slots Tim ask about them 16 practice squad predition Sam Parnell I'm gonna say Blake Watson I'm gonna say Frank Crum I'm gonna say uh Thomas Yasmin now thing about Yasmin if he passes through waivers he's a 17th so because he's an international player so ordinarily practice squad is 16 with Yasmin it would be 17 having that dispensation uh over the course of the year so ah keeping three quarterbacks not a smart move in my opinion says D dh3 yeah I get that Michael does the safety position concern you yeah it does the depth concerns me uh PJ lock becoming a full-time starter for the first time I'm not really worried about him I I I want to see Brandon Jones though we haven't seen him with the hamstring injury and this is a this is a pro it year for Brandon Jones he was he was a basically going back and forth between the between the between rotational role and the starting lineup last year in Miami so yeah he's not a sure thing right now playoffs don't talk about playoffs that's from the can I'll get that comment in there hey show yeah my technical difficulties here rule number one make other teams plan for you okay yep rule number two uh be be adaptable uh that's one of the the genius of New England under Bill belich you'd see a running back get 20 touches one week two touches the next day adapted to the matchups you're hoping that um jwes are the roster bubble guys who could bet traded have a small Market I think samage P may have a sixth or seventh round Market more likely a seventh round Market um as for who they bring in for be a trade I'd have to dive into the rosters around the league I haven't heard any I haven't heard anything really percolating just yet about the Broncos on the market but these things really don't start cranking up until after the preseason ends and the Broncos they're lending the preseason late there's only one preseason game after their game with Arizona on on on on Sunday afternoon uh the A3 should have drafted buser placement this year where um that's the problem you didn't have a second round pick you had uh obviously B Knicks in the first I mean are you not picking B Knicks because that's more most likely where you're going to get potential tackle so I think that's one of those things that this year you just had to punt he's in he's in good spirits good health looks good out there right now um who knows he might even be back next year wouldn't surprise me I think the Broncos if I'm if I'm Looking Over the Horizon right before we go here I think the Broncos are going to pick Edge or tackle round one next year and I think what they do is going to likely depend on how the market looks if the market looks good for draft in a tackle based on where they're selecting I think they move on from Garrett Bulls if it doesn't look like they're going to get an immediate game changing tackle I think they pick Edge and resign Garett Bulls that's not out of the realm of possibility here so anyway it's been fun been fun riding with gosh 41 minutes holy cow thanks for joining me thanks for all the questions by the way I mean I see like 1500 people
