Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off today’s show reacting to the big news that Sean Payton has given up play calling to Davis Webb and the implications the move will have this season and beyond. A faithful listener takes a very unflattering screencap of Stoke before the guys speculate about the relationship between Bo Nix and Sean Payton being the reason for Davis Webb taking over play calling. Did Greg Penner play the role of Jerry Jones with the move to Davis Webb as the play caller? Our own Zach Bye thinks so, but is he on the mark? Mike and Stoke discuss. The 6am Duo wrap up the first hour digging into the other big news of yesterday: the Girard-Kulak trade and what it is setting up ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline.

What do the Broncos see in Davis Webb to trust him with play calling in Bo Nix’s all-important 3rd season? How will the offense be different to Sean Payton's? Will Webb help the young players develop? The Morning Crew wrap up the second hour in 4 Down Territory where they react to a very salty Sean Payton. 

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth open the fourth hour with a question: Why would Sean Payton give up his play calling duties now? The guys try to get a read on the Broncos’ head coach. Is Sean Payton laying out the groundwork for his exit strategy by handing off play calling duties to Davis Webb? What will the Broncos do with the coaching staff if Davis Webb is as advertised as the offensive coordinator? Would it put the Broncos into a Catch-22 where they’ll have to pick between Sean Payton and Davis Webb?  

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Sean Payton and the Broncos offense, a day after Davis Webb was announced as the Broncos play caller. Should the Broncos trust a 14-3 team with a young quarterback to a first time play caller in Webb? What will Webb be able to bring that Sean Payton was lacking in?

How would the guys feel about taking a player that is not a position of need?

Is this a sign of bad things to come from the football team up in Boulder? 

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Sean Payton and the Broncos offense, a day after Davis Webb was announced as the Broncos play caller. Should we trust a 14-3 team with a young quarterback to a first time play caller in Webb? Are the Broncos entering a championship or bust window after the success they had last season? We hear from Sean Payton and his thoughts on if the Broncos needed a new player caller. Will Webb's and Payton's offensive philosophies align? Will Sean Payton take back play calling duties at any point this season?

On Bo's Board, the fellas explained why they like a certain Vikings WR. The guys reacted to the breaking news of CU football landing a new defensive coordinator to replace Robert Livingston who is getting hired by the Broncos. 

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to Sean Payton announcing that Davis Webb will take over play calling this season for the Broncos. Cecil says that Webb could become the next Klint Kubiak. If Webb works out, would coaches want to learn under Payton in the future? On Bo's Birthday Board, the fellas name a Vikings WR that the Broncos should target this offseason. 

0:00 - Yesterday at the NFL Combine, Sean Payton announced that Broncos Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb will be calling plays next year. Wow...it finally happened! Good for Davis. Sean's presser felt very open and honest. A tiny bit of Snarky Sean escaped when he was asked about Bo Nix and Predisposed AnkleGate 2K26 (where were you?), but aside from that, it felt like a very natural conversation about this changing of the guard.16:01 - Happy Trails, Sammy G! La Tornade is now touching down in Pittsburgh, PA with the Penguins. Two things can be true. Thing one: Brett's been the biggest defender of Sammy G there is. Poor guy has caught TONS of unnecessary arrows over the years, and he's made a big impact on his team. Thing two: it was time to move on. This trade will be better for everyone involved in the long run. 33:27 - Kaner doesn't think the Avs are done wheeling and dealing yet. Trading Sammy G freed up a good chunk of cap space, so he thinks other moves are on the horizon. After that, Broncos fans are over the moon about Davis Webb taking over offensive playcalling! They're acting like the Broncos offense will suddenly turn into that prolific 2013 offense overnight. It's good that everyone has complete faith! But maybe ease off the gas a bit. We have no idea how Davis Webb truly will look as a playcaller. 

s the Eagles' new look on offense already winning over the locker room? We break down Saquon Barkley's recent comments expressing total confidence in Offensive Coordinator Sean Mannion as they gear up for the new campaign. Then, we shift gears to the coaching ranks where Sean Payton is reportedly fighting a one-man war to save the "Tush-Push" from being banned. We discuss why Payton is so protective of the play and if his influence can keep the league's most effective short-yardage weapon in the playbook.

The NFL Combine is officially here, and the Philadelphia Eagles are at the center of the storm. In this episode, Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio break down the massive ripples coming out of Indy and what they mean for the future of the Birds. We start by reacting to Howie Roseman and Nick Sirianni's combine presser—was there a hidden message in Howie's roster philosophy? Plus, we're looking at the offensive identity for 2026. Saquon Barkley has gone on the record saying he is confident in Sean Mannion taking over the reigns as OC, but will that offense still include the league's most polarizing play? We discuss why Sean Payton wants to save the Tush-Push and if he has the clout to keep it in the game.

00:00 Reaction to Sean Payton press conference and him giving up play calling.21:40 Andy's problems.

00:00 Avalanche trade Sam Girard.12:15 Sean Payton asked about what he said about Bo Nix's ankle.31:20 Jets will tag Breece Hall.

Sean Payton will be giving up play calling to new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Should Payton have given up play calling at midseason—and if so, how different would the offense have looked? How much will Webb calling plays help Bo Nix? Payton also said running back, linebacker and tight end are positions the Broncos need to address in the offseason because they have free agents at those positions. What position should be the top priority? Plus, the Avalanche traded Sam Girard and a 2nd round pick to the Penguins for veteran defenseman Brett Kulak. Are the Avalanche with Kulak, a better team?
