Monday July 31st, 2017

The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Adam Schefter joins the show to tell Big Al & DMac why everyone needs to cool it on the speculation regarding the ownership of the Denver Broncos, because its not fair to Pat Bowlen. Kasim Edebali joins the show to tell the guys the story of making it to the NFL & how his German accent is confused for Jamaican. Kasim tells DMac he was born & grew up in Germany, but has his green card, so we’re good.

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

DMac is back from Toronto, and gets Al’s thoughts on what he noticed when the pads came on at Broncos training camp out at Dove Valley.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

The pressure on Max Garcia is growing, and the guys debate if he can find what it takes to make the 53-man roster. Al says it’s time to start looking at the Broncos running game as a weapon, and not just as a tool to keep defenses honest. The boys are impressed with Bolles & Watson, and are leaning towards those to as the starting book-ends. The pros & cons with Kasim Edebali are discussed, and DMac wonders why VJ would even play Von Miller in the preseason. Kasim Edebali joins the show to tell the guys the story of making it to the NFL & how his German accent is confused for Jamaican.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

The poll results are out for the day, and Paxton Lynch leads by one single vote. The guys debate what this Broncos offense will look like if they develop a consistent running game. Al & DMac laugh after Brock Olivo calls Andy Janovich a four-phaser, and talk Iso plays that could open up & take Jamaal Charles to the house. Al says he knew the Broncos loved Cody Latimer, and he’s going to find out about Bennie Fowler. The guys agree this is the best DT has looked in years, and Al says Max Garcia is a slam dunk to make the team. Also, the Rockies trend up, Siemian trends down & an NCAA kicker calls it quits to make paid YouTube videos.
