In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their discussion on the Colorado Buffaloes and Juju Lewis. Does the coaching staff need to move on from Lewis, or is it too early to give up on the young quarterback? We pivot to the Broncos, and Zach shares the number for Bo Nix when seeing 4 or less rushers vs. when he gets blitzed. Will defenses start to blitz Nix more after how much success he's had with a clean pocket? We hear from Sean Payton on having a better sense of urgency and not falling behind so frequently in games. We hear from Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald on the "cold war" between him and Sean Payton after a filming practice dispute. Today's "Three Count" includes the guys giving Garrett Bolles necessary respect after not allowing any pressures during Sunday's game against the Jaguars, reaction to the Rams blowing out the Giants on Monday Night Football, and Cherry Creek's win streak being retroactively snapped after playing with an ineligible player in Week 0. With the Avalanche season kicking off in 8 days, we preview their season. Will the Avs put more of an emphasis on younger players? How important is the regular season to the Avs group?
