0:00.0 | Preseason watch list time and AFC West Time, starting with the Denver Broncos. It is a Broncos show. And what does Bo Nix do for an encore in year two after a year one that had not been for Jane Daniels? Everybody would have been talking about Bo Nix, a historic season where I've said it on the local airwaves bloom. Y'all don't even know Bo Nicks. You saw Bo Nix last year as a rookie. He didn't know what? |
0:00.7 | He had one touchdown in the first four games. And he had one weapon in Cortland Sutton. Now, multiple weapons. So do we know, Bo? My answer is no, not yet. Is Sean Payton going to cheer up this year? Is this going to be the year that we see happy Sean Payton return? He's been sick almost all offseason. So I think maybe a little, you know, a little Nyquil Sean or whatever. He'll be a little happy, right? He should be happy. He should be happy because this is his team now, right? I mean, can we say that now we're finally going to see the Sean Payton Broncos really for the first time? Yeah, well, he didn't have sale concepts or counters. And counters are back with J.K. Dobbins and sale concepts are back because they actually have more receivers than just Bo Nix. Or excuse me, more receivers than just Cortland Sutton. Right. So I think we all have to give a nod to Sean Payton, getting his guy, backpack Bo Nix, who shares a brain with him as far as just being hardcore football minds. And for fantasy football, Bo Nix is going around the 9th, 11th quarterback. And like you said, C's, if you look at the second half of the year, that might be a bargain. Now, Bo Nix is not going to turn into an elite fantasy quarterback, but he could absolutely be, you know, top five, six, seven, the best of the rest in his second year. Like you said, CIS, they add some reinforcements to the passing game offensive line has some continuity |
1:44.4 | and this is going to work out this is going to work out for the broncos just a question of how |
1:49.1 | good it can be it can be very good as again at this point cease i think we have to say even though |
1:55.3 | he's frustrating for fantasy football as far as building a good team and building a good offense |
1:59.1 | we have to be deferential to sean payton means we need to believe in Bo Nix. And do not forget about that rushing ability. I know he stopped running basically after the Saints game last year. We had 10 carries for 75 yards, but it's still there. So if they spread you out with all those weapons, Bo can take off to run. And I want to go back to Bo because, well, I don't really want to talk about Jared Stiddy. Well, yeah. Stay healthy, Bo, Nix. Yeah, there you go. And now stay healthy, J.K. Dobbins, really. And I'll get eyes on everybody at training camp. So, you know, maybe we'll put a pin in this conversation. Of course, we'll be talking about it nonstop. |
2:35.0 | But I believe that J.K. Dobbins is the lead back. |
2:40.3 | And I believe that R.J. Harvey is the reserve to work his way, you know, more into the mix. |
2:48.2 | Now, it could be totally wrong. |
2:49.7 | And Harvey's the best runner ever and all that. Sean Payton saw him and then made a mental note to himself to shut up. Sean Payton said it. He said as much. He's like, okay, now be quiet. He told himself to be quiet once he, quote, unquote, discovered R.J. Harvey. |
3:08.7 | So I don't know about you, but I believe Sean Payton will want to prove everyone right or prove himself right and prove everyone wrong about R.J. Harvey. |
3:17.9 | I was talking to a college football analyst last year before the CU game against UCF and said, |
3:22.3 | he told me R.J. Harvey's one of the most underrated backs |
3:24.8 | in the country. Well, it's all about fit and college football is just different. Okay, but he was greater to Ohio State. And, no, no, okay, okay, college football is just different. When they get to the NFL, is it a fit? Well, with Sean Payton, we know it's a fit. I don't think it's Alvin Kamara fit. I think it might be Darren Sproles' fit, but Darren Sproles' fit is still, you know, 80 catches. |
3:45.1 | Not projecting that for RJ Harvey this year, but he certainly could be involved in that. |
3:49.2 | We just don't know yet, you know, in pass protection is a thing. |
3:54.0 | There were concerns early about the mental side of pass protection with RJ Harvey. |
4:00.1 | Those concerns are not there now, a little behind the scenes info, no concerns about them |
4:04.8 | and past protection now when it comes to understanding where to pick up those blitzes. |
4:09.7 | I did ask Sean Payton at rookie minicamp. |
4:12.6 | I was like, when can you trust a rookie runner and pass |
4:15.6 | protection? He goes, I know what you mean. Is he a three down back? Yes, he's a three down |
