In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil preview the Broncos' second preseason game tomorrow night. Besides Bo Nix, what is the biggest storyline heading into the game? How will the young linebackers of Red Murdock and Taurean York look? We react to the Broncos bringing in former Bills safety Taylor Rapp. We look back at his collegiate career, Bills career, and debate what he could be for the Broncos. Could he find success in a new home? We react to Deion Sanders and former CU Buff Chad Brown being at odds, which led to Sanders allegedly blocking Brown on Twitter. Phil shares about accidentally ordering chicken wings to work last night instead of ordering them to his house. We debate how real of a quarterback competition the Broncos are having for the backup position. Which quarterback between Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger will come in directly after Bo Nix on Friday?
For the second hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they try to ease some of Stoke's anxiety about some weed-eating he's got to do later today. They guys get some advice from the 7am listeners before they explain why winning in the preseason still matters. Stoke breaks down Jarrett Stidham's scoring drives in the Broncos' preseason debut in his Telestrator Tuesday film breakdown. The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where Sutton takes advantage of his big body, Jahdae Barron has some real bad PR, and If Man has a cheerleader.
For the fourth and final hour of the day on Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they update the fans about today's camp being closed to the public. They lament the lack of joint practices before t they discuss if Jarrett Stidham has played himself back into the good graces of Broncos fans. The guys point out who flashed to them in the Broncos' first preseason game. There are a lot of people who are pouring cold water over the Broncos' sterling performance against the Falcons in their first preseason game, Stink and Stoke tell everybody why we should still be excited about the performance regardless of their opponent. The Morning Crew cap off today's show on the Stiddy Soapbox.
In the first hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they usher in the first Reaction Monday of the season. They recap what and who stood out in Atlanta on offense and defense. They highlight the improvement we saw from the Broncos' running backs against the Falcons, led by the rookie Jonah Coleman. Mike and Stoke discuss the new-look offense from Davis Webb. The guys wrap up the first hour highlighting Evan Engram, RJ Harvey, and Jarrett Stidham getting back in the good graces of Broncos fans.
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the breaking news that the Broncos have closed on a deal with SRM Concrete that gives them 10 more acres in Burnham yards, the biggest outstanding plot of land in the area. We pivot back to today's practice at training camp. Is Pat Bryant carving out a role as the number three receiver? Could he be taking some targets away from Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle? Today's "Three Count" features Teddy Bridgewater retiring from the Lions and the NFL, if the Broncos could trade Jarrett Stidham or Sam Ehlinger to Indianapolis, and a Greek basketball team wanting to sign Nikola Jokic after this season if he becomes a free agent. We debate if there is a real competition for the backup quarterback position. Did last year's AFC championship game performance scare Stidham and ruin his confidence?
In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they recap the ups and downs of Bo's performance in yesterday's practice. Mike Sando from The Athletic put together his annual QB tier list, where did he rank Bo in it? They hear Sean Payton praising Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant. They discuss the chances that Sam Ehlinger actually manages to supplant Jarrett Stidham for the backup QB job this season.
In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to break down everything they saw out at Broncos training camp today. The guys debate what the Broncos' identity on offense is. Are the Broncos throwing the ball too much compared to running the ball at training camp? Does the trio of Bo Nix, Sean Payton and Davis Webb want to run the ball? Are we seeing a real competition for the Broncos backup quarterback spot between Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger? We hear from Payton and his lengthy compliments for Ehlinger. DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joins the show to defend his horrible take that we can't enjoy the Rockies for being competitive and competent this season. We wrap up the show continuing our debate on the current state of the Rockies.
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil recapping their time out at Broncos training camp today. How concerned are the guys with the growing number of starters sitting out of practice due to injuries or tweaks to guys like Nik Bonitto, Jaylen Waddle, and Luke Wattenberg? What were the guys' biggest takeaways from today's practice? Who won the day between the offense and defense? How much of the lack of success in the run game has to do with the setting of training camp and not tackling to the ground? Is the Broncos defense showing they will be the strength of the team again? Do the Broncos have the depth on the defensive line to show they won't miss John Franklin Meyers this season? Are we seeing a real competition for the Broncos' backup quarterback spot between Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger?
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to discuss the Broncos' backup quarterback situation and if Sam Ehlinger is a threat to take Jarrett Stidham's spot. What do the guys make of Ehlinger's impressive performances the last two days? Is Sean Payton setting up Ehlinger to be successful elsewhere like he did with Zach Wilson? Who profiles better to be the backup behind Bo Nix? We hear from Payton and his lengthy compliments for Ehlinger. We pivot back to the Broncos as a whole, and the guys debate what their identity on offense is. Are the Broncos throwing the ball too much compared to running the ball at training camp? Does the trio of Bo Nix, Sean Payton and Davis want to run the ball? Today's "Three Count" features what position group the guys are most concerned with the depth, Stephon Diggs set to sign with the Commanders on a one-year deal, and the Dodgers losing their 6th straight game today. With Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton missing most of today's practice, why was Evan Engram still not making a big impact?
For the second hour of Stokely and Evans without Mark Schlereth, they hear about Strink's experience at the FOX seminar. They promote Mike's new twitter account. The guys discuss the difference it makes for a player in their 3rd year after hearing it from Bo Nix. What is the difference between having Davis Webb in your ear compared to Sean Payton? Bo Nix explains. There is another bold prediction regarding the backup QB's, will Sam Ehlinger fulfil Dover & Cecil's greatest wish and supplant Jarrett Stidham? The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where Bo's experience is already showing, JK Dobbins keeps a positive attitude, and the defense is perfecting themselves.
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Will and Cecil. The guys discuss what questions they have for the Broncos brass next week when training camp starts. What is the timeline for the Broncos' decision on their next stadium? Will the Broncos bring in a better option at backup quarterback? Zach and Phil continue to debate Jarrett Stidham and if he was set up for success in the AFC Championship. We react to ESPN's article in which they rank all 32 NFL teams by their under-25 talent. How long will the Broncos' Super Bowl window be open, as they came in at number 31, with no major impact players under the age of 25? With training camp starting next week, we debate who the Broncos' third wide receiver will be. Who will return to relevance first, the Rockies or the Colorado Buffaloes? Which will have a chance to make the playoffs first?
In the third hour of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the hour by looking at what awards the Denver Broncos could bring home next season. Is there a realistic chance that Bo Nix could achieve his goal and win an MVP? What would that season look like for Bo, and is it more likely than some believe? What about Defensive Player of the Year? Which Broncos is more likely to win it, PS2 or Nik Bonitto? Could Sean Payton win Coach of the Year? What would he have to do to earn those honors? Is there a Broncos rookie that may be getting too much hype? The Back QB conversation keeps going! Do we still think Jarrett Stidham should be the Broncos backup, or is it a big mistake if they keep him? Can the Broncos do something they haven’t done since the Sheriff was their QB? How can the hurry-up offense help Bo Nix next season?
On a Tuesday episode of Hot Takes, Eric Goodman and Troy Renck get into training camp mode as Broncos rookies report to camp today. Which rookie are the guys most excited to see? Who could possibly break out and have a big season? The biggest position battles at training camp are discussed. Will Harvey or Coleman be RB2? Which rookie tight end will have the upper hand? And will Sam Ehlinger give Jarrett Stidham a run for the Broncos backup QB job? Tune in to a Tuesday episode of Hot Takes! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil, Will and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition against the morning show. Will we top their 3-1 performance from earlier today? We react to the report the Nuggets are looking for a "Walker Kessler-type return" in a Payton Watson sign-and-trade. How should the Nuggets prioritize either signing Watson to a long-term contract or trying to bring in assets to let him go to another team? The guys debate who could be a surprise cut for the Broncos this training camp. Phil shares about his time getting cut from the Colts and the process of signing with the practice squad. Will the legal issues be too much to keep Jonathan Cooper in the building? Could veterans like Ben Powers or Evan Engram be on the chopping block? Is there a legitimate option that could take Jarrett Stidham's backup quarterback position?
0:00 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-camp is underway, and all eyes are on Bo Nix...'s ankle. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and explained the whole AnkleGate saga, including his clean-up procedure and recovery process/timeline.17:23 - If LeBron decides to leave LA (which he probably won't), the Golden State Warriors want him. Really? That team isn't old enough already?After that, we heard Kreckman and Lindahl the other day. Andy was freaking out about Jarrett Stidham and said he can no longer be the backup QB of this team. He blew his audition in the AFC Championship game. Does that REALLY matter? Does your backup QB really matter THAT much?35:56 - The US Open begins tomorrow at Shinnecock. If you put the average person on that golf course, what would they score? Could any of us shoot less than 100? 150?
In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the massive number of viewers Game 3 had in the NBA Finals and Zach points out how great of a place the NBA is in now with all the young talent in the league. Will we ever call Nikola Jokic the best player in the NBA again? Does Victor Wembanyama currently hold the title as best in the league at the age of only 22? How much of Jokic's lack of defense impact his ability to be the best player in the world? We react to the conflicting reports of Jaquan McMillian and the Broncos working towards a contract extension. Will McMillian get a fair shot at being the nickel corner again this season or will Jahdae Barron take over the position in his second season after being a first-round pick? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to discuss if Mason Rudolph would be a better backup quarterback in Denver than Jarrett Stidham.
For the second hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Stoke sends out birthday wishes before he holds Stink accountable for ditching him. Mike asks a question: are the Avs and Nuggets close to title contention based on what we’ve seen from the NAB and Stanley Cup Finals so far? The guys have a serious discussion about how a locker room and team handle an incident like Jonathan Cooper’s alleged domestic violence case. They recap a bad weekend from the Rockies before they discuss RJ’s Harvey heading into year 2. Can the sophomore RB break out in his second year? They wonder if Jarrett Stidham needs to look over his shoulder for Sam Ehlinger. They wrap up the second hour previewing tonight’s Game 3 in the NBA Finals.
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos OTA practice they were in attendance for today. How involved or not involved was Sean Payton as his role has changed to no longer being the play-caller? What did the guys make of Jaylen Waddle's first public practice with the Broncos? Is there a specific vision for how Waddle fits into this offense? We hear from Sean Payton on his initial thoughts on Jonah Coleman. Will Coleman's short and stout body frame translate well to the NFL? Is there a competition for the backup quarterback position, or is it Jarrett Stidham's job to lose? Today's "Three Count" includes the reports that the Broncos will not have a joint practice this preseason, the Knicks going into San Antonio and stealing Game 1, and discussing the Nuggets' paths forward to being competitive again. We break down Jonah Ellis' time at inside linebacker as the Broncos potentially change his position on the defense.
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Jake. The guys do a full deep dive into the Western Conference Finals and preview Game 7 tomorrow night. Is the Thunder's championship window already closing with many contributors being free agents heading into the offseason? Zach and Phil react to the lack of news on Jared Bednar and debate if the silence around the situation means Bednar will be returning to the Avalanche. Zach re-pitches the idea of the Broncos trading for Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson. How much would it cost the Broncos to bring in Richardson? Would Richardson be able to take work off Bo Nix's plate in running situations? Are the Broncos in a position to "rehab" Richardson, or do they need a win-now backup quarterback? Does Sean Payton still feel the same way about Jarrett Stidham after the AFC Championship? We react to a trade idea that involves the Nuggets sending out Aaron Gordon in return for Derrick Jones Jr. and a first-round pick. Could the Nuggets take a step back financially and competitively to reset the organization moving forward?
In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they put themselves in the role of the Avalanche front office and sort through the possible reasons why Jared Bednar is currently hanging onto his job and why the Avs could still let him go. Mike advocates for the Ball Arena teams to blow up their cores. They revel in the greatness of Shohei Ohtani. The former players take Mike to task about his take that Jarrett Stidham needs more live game reps. The Avalanche had “Cup or Bust” expectations heading into the season. Do the Broncos have “Super Bowl or Bust” expectations heading into the 2026 season?
In the first hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Jared Bednar is still the head coach of the Avalanche and the guys wonder if this means he’s here to stay. Mike marvels at Shohei Ohtani’s performance against the Rockies last night. Are we witnessing the GOAT? The guys discuss how important Jarrett Stidham’s relationship with Bo is to the Broncos as Mike makes a crazy pitch for the Broncos’ backup. News is coming out about the severity of Cale Makar’s shoulder injury but is it any excuse for how the Avalanche lost in the Western Conference Finals? Mike and Stoke wrap up the first hour by losing a bet and talking about Bat Boy.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate if the Broncos could be looking to add a quarterback in the NFL draft to backup Bo Nix, after they met with Athan Kaliakmanis from Rutgers. Has Nix's health been a concern for the guys? Could the Broncos trade their veteran backup QB in Jarrett Stidham to get a cheaper option? We pivot to the Nuggets and hear from Jamal Murray after his historic night. Could the Nuggets have a rematch with the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs? Today's "Three Count" includes Patrick Surtain telling Julian Edelman about the game Sean Payton got the team all oxygen tanks and previewing the Sweet Sixteen which kicks off tonight with four games. We react to the Broncos using a top-30 visit with a running back from Washinton. Could the Broncos be looking to add more depth in the running back room?

Could the Broncos trade Riley Moss or JaQuan McMillian to make room for Jahdae Barron to get more snaps? With the contract extension of Alex Palczewski, will the Broncos trade Ben Powers to save money against the cap?

We react to multiple mock drafts in which the Broncos select a safety out of Toledo. Do the Broncos need to make a splashier pick and take an offensive weapon?

The Patriots and the Seahawks are the winners of the AFC and NFC Conference Championships this season and will meet in Santa Clara for Super Bowl LX. Chris and the fellas breakdown the action from Sunday's conference championships and determine why the chips fell where they did. The New England Patriots went into Denver, in a blizzard, and knocked off the #1 seed Denver Broncos. Sean Payton and Jarrett Stidham missed a couple opportunities and Drake Maye delivered the knockout punch with a QB rollout. The Seattle Seahawks and LA Rams clashsed in one of the best playoff games in history, with the Sam Darnold-Jaxon Smith-Njigba connection proving the driving force to send the Seahawks to the final game of the 2025 NFL Season.

Recorded: January 26th 2026 | On this weeks Monday NFL Recap, Taylor is hitting this one by himself with help from the boys in the back. The boys recap the NFC and AFC Championship games from this past weekend. The first game was the New England Patriots traveling out to the Denver Broncos. The biggest question going into this game was how backup quarterback, Jarrett Stidham, was going to play. He ended up not playing that bad but the weather became more of an issue. The snow had a massive factor in that game which may have been why Drake Maye only threw for 86 yards. Taylor breaks down the game and how Mike Vrabel's coaching was an x-factor. Then the boys get into the NFC Championship where the Los Angeles Rams traveled up to the Seattle Seahawks for a rubber match between the division foes. This game was high flying with points being scored everywhere. Taylor believes that Sam Darnold has officially put the haters to rest as he threw for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a massive game is basically unstoppable. Finally the boys give their Super Bowl predictions, the bus is divided on who they are riding with. Le us know in the comments who you are taking. Enjoy fellas.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens break down why the Seahawks enter the NFC Championship Game in a stronger position than either previous matchup with the Rams, pointing to rest, home-field advantage, and a run game that has fully come alive. They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.
