LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!

In the second hour, DMac tries to defend his new quarterback strategy against Tyler, Mike Evans and Chad Brown. The guys react to comments from Texans GM Nick Caserio and head coach David Culley regarding Deshaun Watson and argue how valuable first round picks are when stacked up against a franchise quarterback. Given the perceived lack of interest in Denver from Deshaun Watson and Matthew Stafford, what can the Broncos do in order to entice a free agent quarterback this offseason. Shawn Drotar joins the show to help sort out all of the roster decisions the Broncos are going to have to make in the near future.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!

In the fourth hour, Tyler and DMac recap the top stories of the day during the Top 6 at 6:00. Dr Eric France, Chief Medical Officer for the state of Colorado, joins the show to update the public on the latest information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and the likelihood that fans will be allowed in the stands this season. The guys discuss the harsh grade given to the Broncos’ 2020 rookie class by ESPN and PFF. Patrick Saunders, who covers the Rockies for the Denver Post, joins the show to discuss the latest on the trade talks between the Cardinals and Rockies surrounding Nolan Arenado.
