Cecil Lammey joins the show to talk about why the staff didn’t like Paxton Lynch in his first year, and if he’s ready & willing to put in the work this off-season to lead the Broncos offense in ’17. Nate Solder joins the show & says he learned on the run, and by the time he was a first-rounder the technique had not come overnight. Charlie Taaffe joins the show to talk about Paxton Lynch and his progress this off-season. What is different now for Paxton than before the 2016 NFL Draft, and what coming out of the Memphis system did for Lynch.
Al asks Dmac if he’s seen LeBron play live before, and DMac mentions how truly special King James is. The guys debate if Marshawn Lynch or Adrian Peterson would be the better option in Denver, and think of the most extreme athletes in sports history and try to remember what forced them to retire. Earl Boykins joins the show to talk about James Harden’s straight-line five dribbles and shutting up Lavar Ball before he gets a reality TV deal. Free publicity, and the difference in the Ball Bros. and Seth & Steph Curry. Earl says the marketing-first, sports-second mentality has changed the game, and the guys debate what influenced Melo to go to NY & Jameer to take the last shot. Also, what makes Vince Carter ageless & how to watch Earl Boykins’ basketball tournament on T.V.
Cecil Lammey joins the show to talk about why the staff didn’t like Paxton Lynch in his first year, and if he’s ready & willing to put in the work this off-season to lead the Broncos offense in ’17. The guys debate if Paxton is even comfy being a backup, and how much working with Charlie Taaffe is helping his game. Listen to the interview HERE! Nate Solder joins the show & says he learned on the run, and by the time he was a first-rounder the technique had not come overnight. Nate tells DMac the Broncos LT situation is not an inevitable disaster, and it’s also not an easy position. Nate talks about his ability to watch & pick out things a player can improve on in 10 minutes or less, like footwork, quickness, and getting your hands inside. Nate says it’s imperative to remember the people you had success with, and Brady’s missing jersey was like watching an episode of Narcos, he couldn’t even find a pair of Cutters gloves at the time. Also, Solder says bottom line: NFL is a business. Listen to the interview HERE!
Charlie Taaffe joins the show to talk about Paxton Lynch and his progress this off-season. What is different now for Paxton than before the 2016 NFL Draft, and what coming out of the Memphis system did for Lynch. Charlie says Paxton has been spending time working under center, quick release & throwing motion, and feels when his strides are too long. Preparation has been important, and Charlie says timing between these green QBs and their receivers is critical. Paxton knew nothing when he came to Denver, and Charlie gives some insight on where he is now and how far he’s come in his development. Listen to the interview HERE! Also, bracket-busting upsets, Jay Cutler left with no options, and the chances the Denver Nuggets miss the playoffs entirely.
