[Music] oo yes hey now where was this one is this like Trans Siberian Orchestra oh this is my style of Christmas music this is very like NFL game holiday coverage type of music which is probably why it’s in our music library somewhere it was it was like the tnf 2017 like intro Blink 182 cover I was thinking the other day like I can’t believe that Fox is still doing football robot too like that has been a thing for so long football robot and it’s like a mascot oh people are attached to it maybe now that if they took it away they’d be mad they’re still doing the drawings you know the drawings that make you look like a superhero or just weird or way hotter than you actually are it’s like one of the one of the three um Justin Herbert not a guy who who needs to be made any better looking a fine looking young man who is going to be going up against B knck and this Broncos team the Chargers won the first time around so they could sweep them they would have the better seed in the AFC I think that could kind of matter uh because if you can get the best Wild Card seed here or even the second best you might avoid the bills who knows though it’s a lot of guesswork how how it will work out even I know how you do all of these like different combinations and you know all of the you go into the lab this time of season so I kind of rely on that that that is true and that’s why this this game is in a weird spot sometimes games like this happen where both teams are probably in but it’s a bigger game for the Chargers because they’re a game behind and if they lost it they would fall to eight and seven and suddenly they would be in a situation where they they would not be able uh to stumble down the stretch uh with with some easier games Broncos coming off a good one like they just seem like they’re a better team now than the Chargers yeah haven’t they won four straight cuz I I’m always kind of ruined for the Chargers but uh I have to admit the Broncos are just like when you’re better and I think about this every game for the Broncos is their offensive line better than the other teams defensive line in this game despite Joey Bose and CLE Mack the answer is yes like the Chargers just haven’t been rushing the pass well and then on the flip side is their pass rush better than the other team’s offensive line again the answer is yes when the answer to that is yes almost every week you win a lot of games one of the things I to that point is these are both units on either side of the ball that have gotten better and better and better and better as time has passed in Denver and the Chargers have either stayed the same or have deteriorated in some ways sometimes due to injury other times just due to like a lack of completeness or Dimension that exists within that team right now you know I’ve remained really impressed with what Jesse Minter has done with that defense considering what they entered the season with but the Broncos are just playing more complete and that’s how I kind of describe the Broncos right now this is the time of year where you want to be as complete a team as possible in in every phase the defense isn’t just solid they are attacking you know the Broncos and the Chargers defense are uh two of the three teams that are leading the league right now and limiting points per game what is the third team your favorite wait what the third team that’s the third team there it’s it’s a three-way tie in teams that are limiting scoring for Christmas I’d like to get Colleen like pay attention Colleen I don’t know I was trying to I was trying to tee up the Eagles for you well I was going to say the Eagles but I wasn’t actually di in defense Ren but but the difference though is that the Broncos are scoring they lead the league in scoring defense right now they they’ve accounted for 34 points between interception returns for Touchdown fumble recoveries for a touchdown and safeties and that’s the difference and the Chargers I think have scored once on defense this season I’d have to fact check I’m sure someone will tell me uh online at some point after this runs but this is that’s the difference is it’s not just the completeness but they also attack and they’re asserting and on the other side of the ball I don’t feel the Chargers attacking teams very effectively it’s like a banged up Justin Herbert throwing to a banged up lad makoni and that is really fun and exciting but they’re not running the ball effectively meanwhile the Broncos just seem to keep getting better as time passes or even if better is not exactly the right word completeness you feel this completeness with what they can do and the Broncos they had this late buy which is always helpful they’ve won four straight the Chargers have lost three of their last four and I like when you think about that game against the Chiefs how it came down to the very end Justin Herbert now he’s dealing with this ankle injury on a short week they need to fix things they don’t have time to fix things they don’t have time to heal I expect the pass rush to absolutely get after Justin Herbert he’s not going to be as mobile obviously and we saw what they were able to do against Anthony Richardson who is a lot more mobile and I just think that the Broncos pass rush the have time to get to Herbert because I saw that Patrick certan he was on the estimated practice report a full participant so the secondary I expect them to hold up and give the pass rush even more time I don’t think it’s really great for the Chargers okay I don’t either but I’m trying to make the case for it now the offensive line for the Chargers really struggled with the buck blitzes last week the Chargers are actually second in the league in terms of giving up unblocked pressures so just no one’s block there’s total confusion where to where to block the guy and yet they’re right in the middle of the pack in total pressures which to me is a Justin Herbert stat which he gets rid of the ball I do remember this first game they went on these long drives the Chargers did they got out to a huge lead in Denver it was probably their most impressive performance of the season to that point Herbert was finally healthy and moving around and I do think even though this wasn’t the case last week he’s such a smart player that I worry about blitzing him because I think sometimes that plays into his hands that he knows where to go with the ball and it gives him easier answers and his guys don’t get that open in general so if there’s less guys in the secondary they can be a little more open and he’s such a smart quarterback that it almost helps to find what he needs to do for an offense that’s struggling to create open receivers that said the the Bucks cooked him up pretty good last week especially after there was a play where they fell on his ankle his numbers before that injury 8 for 10 10 for 101 yards after he was 13 for 23 for 94 yards in an interception so they were shut out in the second half yeah so it got ugly and we’ll see like I do think like you just need Justin Herbert to be the best player in this game by a decent amount and that’s just the Chargers best hope that they have him and the Broncos don’t they have B Knicks who struggled the last couple weeks that’s part of the reason I think they’re going to try to throw stuff at him and and get him not just um in a vulnerable position physically for you know taking hits or or whatever but in a vulnerable position where they’re going to see how well he can move on that leg which is going to be harder to do as the game goes on because you can treat it up the way that you you know you do before a game but as time passes through that game if a team keeps attacking attacking attacking like I almost wonder if they really get after him early the problem too with the Chargers right now is the lack of dimension in the ways that they can protect him one of the ways that you can protect a quarterback who is banged up is with a run game and they haven’t been running the ball effectively and again part of that is is due to injury but the other part is they just have not been executing very effectively and then the most effective and efficient play becomes put the ball in Justin Herbert’s hands they didn’t even try to run last week yeah because he’s the best player on the team so put the ball in his hands and on the one hand you can understand the logic but then on the other hand it opens them up to get killed out there so they’re in a tough spot though the line to walk for an effective game plan when you do have a superstar quarterback but he is hurt in this way and banged up in this way is so so thin in terms of what kind of a plan and I just believe because I’ve seen the Broncos especially their defense and now their offense win in a couple of different ways this season that they’ll be able to adjust to what the Chargers try to do I think because they can’t establish the Run they’re going to just be forced into obvious passing situations and if Herbert’s ankle is still a a real issue the Broncos are going to win this and they’ll clinch their first playoff spot since 2015 on the flip side the Chargers defense got cooked by Tampa in the second half of that game look they were they were head by four at halftime it was 1713 and there are some similarities I think between the Bucks and the Broncos in terms of they their quarterbacks get the ball out really quickly their coordinators can really scheme up open receivers that both teams are really good blocking for their receivers on the perimeter and just kind of creating first read football and that’s what Bo Knicks needs when when you take away his first read he is just not nearly as effective that is the Chargers best hope in this game is that b Nick’s slump if you want to call it that continues now last week he was two for eight for 33 yards and three picks uh when throwing over 10 yards he struggled he he it was the first time since September he looked like the bow Knicks from September and they closed out the game okay and people were like oh yeah he bounced back and had a couple touchdown passes and it was like just a swing pass to you know a wide receiver that got blocked up and then two other guys that are wide open we know he can hit the first read so if they can open up plays like that but he he just seemed a little stuck in his head he was at three or four yards per attempt and remember the game before that thereby he threw three interceptions in that game as well so that’s that’s five picks in the last couple weeks that that would be the hope for the Chargers I do wonder if the Broncos try to get his pocket moving a little bit but also get him moving a little bit um picking up gimme yards different things you know this late down the season you obviously you don’t want to put your quarterback in danger but what you said about you know the Broncos and the Bucks reminding you of each other like Baker and B Knicks remind me of each other a lot in that regard where some of these games that baker has won for the bucks and Shawn Payton certainly has an eye on this tape is you know he’s picking up some of the got to Havoc yards by himself that way extending the Run game out to the flats extending the Run game into into what the quarterback can actually do and that’ll change the way a defense has to play you you might be able to open up some of that short stuff because you’re sending one extra Defender maybe out into the side or the flat area to try to counter the potential that the quarterback can pick it up with his legs I’m amazed that Chargers are favored in this game by two and a half it’s a home is it not it’s a home game I know it’s at home but it really just feels like the Broncos have been a better team lately and even though I’ll wear my biases like I want the Chargers to win this game I’m picking the Broncos just cuz you got to pick the team that you think is the better team I do think they’re the better team yeah I think the Broncos win I am picking the Broncos I actually do think it will be very low scoring between both teams because I I think Jesse minter’s defense will Rebound in a little bit of a love that and uh the Bron Broncos don’t have much of a running game either and if when you’re making bonick and and their passing game a little onedimensional you’re right that could be that could be a low-scoring game and shout out to Nick Bonito I love watching him play the Broncos fans are pushing like the Defensive Player of the Year stuff and it is you know it’s got it’s a tough ass cuz the first five or six weeks of the Season like he had a extremely low pressure rate like he was by the Numbers a below average pass rusher for five six weeks of the season but awards are funny sometime if you do something crazy in this game after having these backto back pick sixes and you have 11 sacks if he ends up leading the league in sacks like he gets to 15 in sacks and he has one more like like really crazy memorable play he’s going to have a chance so go out there and be special Nick Bonito cuz you’re pretty fun to watch I know it his Ascension since week seven NextGen has him the seventh highest pressure rate among you know all Edge rushers with at least 150 rushes so it’s not exactly like if you start the season hot it’s ascending it’s kind of like he is kind of to me embodies what a lot of this team has done over this year is they’ve started to ascend figure things out and really go from um reacting and responding to what teams try to do them to asserting in different ways and Nick Bonito I think embodies a lot of that he’s a microcosm of the team and he’s there’s actually not an obvious defensive player of the year right now so maybe go a little crazy uh that was it this was fun this was the last Christmas themed episode until our next one which will be on Christmas Eve morning no I don’t know if that’ll be Christmas Eve I don’t have any more themed no I’m just say I can come up with something okay you’re not even going to be here yeah but maybe I’ll just throw some ideas out we just need we’re just going to do an isolated fan cam on Colleen as she celebrates her family Christmas hey it’ll be entertaining I promise Christmas carols may get your brother uh Tim on the show hey finally give him some pop right all right enough all right look uh when we’re breaking down NFL Network got a triple header with with Colleen in the mix you know football is back see you
