Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Ehlinger

For the 2nd hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they point out a double standard when it comes to the folks outraged about losing Justin Joly. They hear Cale Makar talking about his shiny new deal. Mike does a deep dive on 5th round TE’s and how improbable it was that Justin Joly would turn out in the first place. Stoke breaks down Sam Ehlinger’s performance in the Broncos’ preseason finale in his Telestrator Tuesday film breakdown. The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where the Broncos’ practice squad is rounding out, Jonathan Cooper may be on double secret probation, and the NFL has a new monster heel.  

In the 3rd hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the players make Mike eat crow before they talk about the chances that Tayson Hill is a Denver Bronco very soon. They discuss the fallout from the Broncos’ rosters cuts between the ILB group, the consequences of keeping 3 QB’s on the final roster, and the Broncos’ continued struggles to find a TE. They take texts from the 8am listeners to get their takes on Singleton, Sam Ehlinger, and Tyler Badie. Our Senior Editor at Denver Sports.com, James Merilatt, joins us live in studio to give his take on the Broncos’ roster and the big cuts.

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 fourth and final hour of the day on Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Stoke is distracted by the chores in store for him later today. They give the 9am listeners a chance to hear what our 9News Broncos Insider, Mike Klis, had to say about the backup QB competition. They debate what they should do with the logjam in the WR room after hearing Mike Klis' info on the Broncos' plan. They get clarification on Sam Ehlinger's status to determine what the Broncos should do with their QB3. The guys highlight the young ILB's on the roster and how encouraged they are by their first NFL action. The Morning Crew cap off today's show heaping praise on Jonah Coleman. 

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.  

0:00 - Normally, he joins us live from his kitchen. Love seeing those cabinets. But today, he joined the fellas live at camp! What has our Broncos Insider ESPN's Jeff Legwold seen from the Broncos through 5 days at camp?20:08 - We convinced Leggy to stick around for another segment. Such a good guy! What's Leggy's read on Sam Ehlinger? Does he have a chance to become the backup QB at pass Stiddy? Even though Sean Payton told us not to start counting.33:46 - Today should be a nice relaxed day at camp. It's been 5 straight days of camp, a couple in full pads, guys are getting a little dinged up (nothing to worry about though, says Coach), so we're probably taking it easy today. Tomorrow will also be a chill day, most likely, since Saturday is the scripted practice.

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.  

In the third hour of Dover and Cecil, the guys start LIVE from training camp! What are we seeing in day two of training camp? What did we learn from camp? What did we see out of some players battling for spots on this roster? Sean spoke about Taysom Hill and if the Broncos have “kicked the tires” on him as a backup in Denver. What is the backup quarterback battle looking like? What did Sean have to say about Sam Ehlinger? JK Dobbins made a big promise over the weekend? Will it be something he can keep, or will he end up looking like a liar in a few months?

In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys start LIVE from training camp! What did we learn over the weekend? How did the offense look on Saturday? What are some big takeaways from that day? Sean spoke about Taysom Hill and if the Broncos have “kicked the tires” on him as a backup in Denver. What is the backup quarterback battle looking like? What did Sean have to say about Sam Ehlinger? JK Dobbins made a big promise over the weekend? Will it be something he can keep, or will he end up looking like a liar in a few months? The MLB trade deadline is later today. What do we think the Rockies are planning on doing? With this being Paul DePodesta's first real test, what do we expect from the Rockies? Could some players already be on the move before the 4 p.m deadline?

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 4 of The Drive, Phil and Will continue their conversation on if Sam Ehlinger could be the Broncos backup quarterback. We pivot to the NBA and debate if the LeBron James to Denver dream is dead or still on life support. How desirable would the Nuggets be to LeBron? We look at the major headlines in the NBA, which include Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro getting in an altercation in Las Vegas, as well as Victor Wembanyama signing a 5-year max extension with the Spurs. Could we see Jokic take less than a max contract to help the Nuggets field a more competitive team around him? Phil shares about fights he's seen in the NFL between teammates. We preview the Colorado Buffaloes schedule and debate if this could be Deion Sanders' final season in Boulder. How much will we learn about the Buffs in their first game of the season at Georgia Tech? We wrap up the show with Justin Adams joining the show to discuss what a successful season would look like for Jaylen Waddle this season. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil dive into Bo Nix and Sam Ehlinger hosting a throwing camp in Austin, Texas, after minicamp. We break down who we saw in the photos from the throwing session and, more importantly, who was absent. We react to the Nuggets' approach in the first round of the NBA Draft last night, in which they traded their number 26 pick for 2 second round picks. Zach shares his concerns about the Nuggets' ability to move off the bad contracts they have on the team. Are there no bidders for guys like Cam Johnson or Aaron Gordon in today's strict CBA in the NBA? Could the Nuggets have used a guy like Tarris Reed, whom the Spurs picked with the Nuggets' pick? After discussing Wyndham Clark's achievements on Monday, we debate who makes up the Mount Rushmore of Colorado-born athletes. 

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 the words of the great(ish) Sam Ehlinger, "We're baaaaaack!!!"Well, Jason is back. WARNING: this is not a real episode.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to react to NFL free agency and the lack of moves the Broncos have made to this point. We examine all the Broncos moves to bring back players from their team last year including Sam Ehlinger, JK Dobbins and more. Zach shares the details on Paxton Lynch playing indoor football for the Colorado Spartans. We react to the moves made within the AFC west with the Raiders spending big on their new center Tyler Linderbaum, adding linebackers, and more. Will the Raiders be a bigger challenge in 2026 than many assumed? Zach asks if the Nuggets are not meant to be after Jamal Murray went down with an injury in the same game Aaron Gordon finally returned from missing extended time. We hear from David Adelman and his thoughts on getting blown out by the Knicks on Friday. What did the guys make of the Avs' power play while going 0-5 in Sunday's game vs the Wild? 

According to CBS Sports, Denver is the reason why the Jets used the franchise tag on Breece Hall rather than the transition tag, making sure the Broncos wouldn't get the opportunity to make an offer the NYJ would refuse to match. Will the Broncos possibly overspend to get Kenneth Walker or Travis Etienne Jr.? Could Jarrett Stidham be traded and does Sam Ehlinger feel like the right choice as the new backup? Also, could Denver make a trade for Eagles WR AJ Brown, who has tons of talent, but can carry a bad attitude with him? Finally, Aaron Gordon is nearing his return to the court, as he is targeting a return vs. the Knicks tomorrow night. Is AG the savior the Nuggets need?

Send us a textThe ground shakes before you even see the sky. That's how Chris “Nelly” Nelson describes the Red River tunnel—eye to eye with your rival, breath tight, and the urge to start the game right there between the gates. We bring you into that moment, then trace the line from Golden Hat glory to the craft of coaching, as Nelly shares what Texas–OU taught him about pressure, leadership, and earning confidence the hard way.We revisit 2018's marathon versus Kyler Murray, the double teams that turned into a Defensive Player of the Game honor, and the celebration that followed—hat on head, cigar in hand, heartbeat finally slowing. Nelly opens up about the leaders who changed the temperature of a room—Breckyn Hager's spark, Trey Watson's energy, and Sam Ehlinger's steady, team-first backbone—and why chemistry beats volume when the lights are hottest. Then we pivot to UTSA, where Nelly serves as a graduate assistant under Jeff Traylor, detailing how a young, hungry roster learns to “slow the game down,” sync their reads, and make complementary football more than a slogan. He addresses Texas' recent talent drain to the NFL, the truth about “no rebuild” expectations, and why this year's showdown could be decided by defense and discipline more than fireworks.You'll hear why rivalry weeks force growth, how coaches translate chaos into clarity, and what it means to give players a balanced life—because football ends, but the habits don't. If you love the Red River Rivalry, leadership under pressure, or a behind-the-scenes look at UTSA's culture, this one delivers the texture and honesty you crave. Listen, share with a Longhorn or a Sooner, and drop your prediction—who takes the Hat, and why?

Sam Ehlinger cannot take a spot on the 53-man roster - as a practice squad QB can dress as the emergency quarterback, so why keep him over someone the Colts might need. Keeping five TEs would be malpractice for the Colts. IU Football presented by Curt Cignetti premieres Saturday - and fans of accountability should feel very good about the Hoosiers!

Sam Ehlinger seems to stick for the Colts year after year, and Chris Ballard IS a creature of habit. Does that mean he will keep Sam over a guy like Darrell Baker Jr? What about the potentially great Jelani Woods? Center Grove HS alum and Chiefs rookie Carson Steele is turning head in Kansas City. Will he stick? Sure did not look like the Chicago Bears wanted any part of him last night. Is accountability lacking within the Colts organization? I sure hope not, so I'm willing to roll through the 2024 season before assessing that critical part of a winning formula! https://mybookie.website/joinwithKENT Promocode: KENT Here is the link for my book: https://www.amazon.com/Oops-Art-Learning-Mistakes-Adventures/dp/173420740X Learn more about your ad choices.
