In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by veteran NFL reporter James Palmer to discuss his thoughts on the Broncos offense in week 1, Sean Payton's decision to go for it on 4th down at the end of the game, and previewing what we will see from the Colts in week 2. Zach shares all the details of the Broncos announcing their preferred location for the next stadium. How do the guys feel about a retractable roof, a stadium district, and all the new events that would come to Denver. We react to the Broncos signing former Cowboys running back, Deuce Vaughn. Could this be a move the Broncos make to replace Jaleel McLaughlin if they decide to part ways? We have news coming out of Boulder with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting that Ryan Staub will be the Buffs starting quarterback on Friday night vs Houston. We hear from Deion and his thoughts on not having a "solidified quarterback". Is the cold feud between Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets beginning to thaw out after we saw him thank Denver and the Nuggets in his Hall of Fame speech?
