The Drive Denver's Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Stokley on what he saw from Broncos’ training camp today. What caused Stoke to do a 180 on Cortland Sutton’s restructured contract? Zach predicts that this offensive line can be an elite group and possibly top 3 in the NFL. Is Bo Nix’s style of offense built to succeed in the NFL with the way offenses are being forced to play because of the conservative defenses teams are showing? How does Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham balance playing aggressively while trying not to lose the job by not making mistakes?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil discuss the Russell Westbrook fit in Denver now that he is officially a Nugget. Have they gotten better since the end of last season? Mike Klis, our 9News Broncos insider joins the show to breakdown the Broncos QB battle, how the reps are split up, the music at practice and much more. Today’s “Three Count” includes a Bronco on the NFL top 100 list, an inner AFC West rivalry, and the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. What can the Broncos do to add depth to the Broncos safeties group? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach gives Phil two hypotheticals with high upside, would Phil prefer a fully healthy Dulcich or a fully healthy Javonte Williams this season? We play “Phil in the blank” with Phillip Lindsay. Besides the offensive line, who is the best position group the Broncos have? With the Olympics getting underway, where are the guy’s allegiances fall when USA plays Serbia? Zach and Phil continue their debate on whether there should be music out at camp or not and recount Marquette King’s time in Denver. Now that Russell Westbrook is officially a Nugget, how do the guys feel about the singing? What will Westbrook’s role be?

In hour 4 of The Drive, the guys discuss the biggest story in Denver sports, the Broncos QB competition. Which QB took the reps with the first team? With not many reps to go around, when will Sean Payton whittle the competition down to two? Zach questions where the line between “winning” the competition and “not losing” the competition is? Will these QB’s be willing to drive the ball down field at the risk of making mistakes? The guys talk through a hypothetical of either Greg Dulcich or Javonte Williams being healthy the entire season. Who would Phil prefer to be on the field all 17 games? DenverSports.com’s Cecil Lammey joins the show to share what he observed at practice today.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and John Davis cross talking with Stokley and Mat Smith on what they saw from Broncos training camp today. What do we make of Bo Nix getting the most first team reps in day 2? Does a QB competition allow the quarterbacks to play their best? We have a resolution to the Cortland Sutton “hold in”, who won the negations or was it a “win-win”?  What were the vibes out at practice and will fans being in attendance tomorrow add some juice? What does Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham need to prove to become the starter?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Phillip Lindsay and John Davis dive into Sean Payton’s comments after practice today. Courtland Sutton and the Broncos have agreed to restructure his contract, is this the end of the problems between the two sides? The guys discuss the Broncos secondary and how they looked today.
