LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

Donald Stephenson agrees to a pay-cut to remain friendly with the team, and DMac mentions how contract situations can be tough on the team. DMac fears Andy Janovich is more of a specialist than a four-phaser, and says the Broncos don’t have roster room for any more specialists. Cecil Lammey joins the show with some surprise cuts he sees coming, including what’s going to happen at the TE position. Cecil notes that Derby has been banged up & Heuerman has stayed healthy but has been unable to take the job & run with it. Big Al is worried about getting our highest-paid players hurt, and asks Cecil what the preseason is for besides getting a look at young Paxton. Listen to the interview HERE!

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

Al tells you how to get your mind right for four quarters, and hates watching Broncos Top-10 players like Talib, Harris, DT & Emmanuel risking a preseason injury. DMac throws out an idea to solve the NFL’s issue with preseason schedules, practices and scrimmages. The guys debate the Broncos quarterback of the future and how things change depending on the record Trevor Siemian leads the team to, similar to the year we had Tim Tebow. Also, what veteran QBs could the Broncos bring in to turn things around & make them playoff contenders once again, including Cousins & Brees.
