Thursday December 28th, 2017

The Drive with DMac & Chad Brown LIVE in studio! Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to help answer questions surrounding Paxton being brought back as the starter, and keeping things the same with the current coaching staff.

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

Chad mentions Joe Woods’ uphill climb replacing Wade Phillips, and DMac says VJ was feeling good about himself to begin the season, but it takes a couple of games for all 32 teams to get up to speed & the preseason is useless. DMac wants a statue of John Elway built in front of the stadium. In the Big 3 @ 3:30, DMac asks Chad if the Broncos should be giving Mason Rudolph a look, and the guys review Baker Mayfield’s swag and the layout so far of the College Football Playoff. DMac wonders about the possibility of a Broncos blowout, and Chad thinks it’s unlikely. Also, upcoming Broncos unrestricted free-agents. Chad tells DMac James Harrison is both a good & bad teammate, and DMac says Jamaal Charles should be gone already so why would the Broncos bring him back. Also, Broncos upcoming free-agents and if they should stay or go.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

The boys talk Broncos restricted free-agents Denver should keep, including Matt Paradis & some other bargain-bin players. The guys talk about offseason workout programs to build strength, such as hill workouts & rehab facilities. Also, the big problem with Chad Kelly. Chad asks DMac what he thinks the Broncos will do with their top pick, and DMac marvels at Shanahan & Lynch being on the same page. Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to help answer questions surrounding Paxton being brought back as the starter, and keeping things the same with the current coaching staff. Troy wants Denver to look for long-term answers, and wonders what the Broncos will do about their island of misfit toys. Listen to the interview HERE!

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

DMac asks Chad if Paxton will finish the game, and if this week’s starting job is Paxton’s death sentence. The guys talk about Trevor playing through injury, and the importance of knowing a complex offense. Also, DMac can’t imagine a world in which the Broncos keep Paxton & cut Chad Kelly. The guys laugh about a calendar contest between Brady Quinn & Kyle Orton, and what Tim Tebow would do when there’s nothing to do. Also, figuring out who the anti-Paxton is in this year’s NFL Draft. Also, how the Broncos can trade up to the No. 1 pick overall in the NFL Draft.
