In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos as they get set to take on the Panthers. Are the Panthers to be taken seriously? Could this be a letdown spot for the Broncos after their big win over Kansas City and the bye week the following week? Do the Broncos have a veteran group that will have the right attitude going into this game? We go through the stats for the Panthers' defense when it comes to points allowed, rushing yards allowed, and passing yards allowed. We hear from Sean Payton on liking what he's seen from Jonah Coleman and if JK Dobbins is on a "pitch count". How will the Broncos split up carries between Coleman and Dobbins? Would the Broncos be better off with Cody Schrader as the backup running back? We preview the Nuggets and Raptors game tonight in Ball Arena. Have we seen the best of Nikola Jokic after his struggles to start this season and to end last season? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to discuss the dynamics with JK Dobbins and the Broncos.
