The Drive | Hour 3 | 11.13.24

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil breakdown the “rookie wall” in the NFL. Phil walks us through what a whirlwind it is for rookies from the end of their college season to the end of their rookie season in the NFL. Which rookie Bronco is most likely to hit their “rookie wall”? The Broncos have a big decision to make for the future of the left tackle position in Denver. Will the Broncos bring back Garrett Bolles in free agency or draft his replacement in next year’s draft? Phil tells a funny story about his time in the locker room with Bolles. Coach Prime took a shot at the Broncos while defending his OC, Pat Shurmur. Phil respects Prime defending his guy but takes exception to blaming the Broncos offensive players. The guys give both coordinators at Colorado their flowers for doing a great job this season, despite being skeptical going into the year.
