Denver Broncos Insane Wish Just Came TRUE...

Your Denver Broncos biggest wish just came true and it is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs for me to watch some of these guys who threw slings and arrows at Sean Payton have their face turn as red as a Kansas City Chiefs uniform because they were wrong and Sean Payton was right. And I hope our takeaway is we can trust Sean Payton because he makes the right move time and time and time again. So whatever happens at the NFL trade deadline, the spoiler alert is Sean Payton is going to make the right move because it's all he's done since he got to the Denver Broncos. We also have some We've got some other trade rumors around the NFL and we've got. We've got last-second injury updates before the Broncos play the Carolina Panthers. If you love the Denver Broncos, it helps me in the algorithm out a ton if you smash that like and subscribe button. The biggest criticism of Sean Payton and George Payton in this offseason was they brought back an unprecedented number of guys from last season. And you saw some of your favorite creators who cover the Denver Broncos criticize Sean Payton heavily for this, say, Oh, this is irresponsible. This is going to blow up in our face. Like this is not going to work. And I would clap back and be positive and say, Hey guys, well, what about the fact that if we go out and spend in free agency, we don't get the compensatory picks for losing JFM and losing PJ lock. That's two picks we're going to get by not spending. And they're like, Oh Ben, you don't know. We need, we need to go out and get into Kobe Dean. You don't know. You're just glazing this team up. And I'd be like, guys, what about the fact that like. Uh, by bringing back most of our roster from last year, we're going to be able to survive the first six games of the season, which are really hard and we need continuity. And I turned out being right about that. Like, Oh man, you don't know. We need to go out and get an inside linebacker. And I was like, well, what about the fact that like history proves that there's actually negative correlation between spending in the off season on free agency and wins. And if you take a look at it throughout, like NFL history, Warren sharp has this graph out that shows seven of the eight winningest teams actually spent the least amount in NFL free free agency and they're like, Oh, You don't know. you, Trust us. We need to go out and get this guy. We need to draft and upgrade at all of these positions. And you're seeing I'm not going to name names and try to embarrass people. But so many folks were calling out in particular Alex Singleton in the inside linebacker position and saying that he was hot garbage, despite the fact that Vance Joseph was glazing him up. And you saw people saying, hey, the Broncos undoubtedly need to upgrade at the inside linebacker position. We saw so many people saying. They were going to turn their Twitter handles into anti-Alex Singleton accounts, and Alex Singleton is easily one of the worst inside linebackers in all of football, and he's a garbage tackler, and time and time again. And so when Sean Payton went out and re-signed Alex Singleton, you could have seen an absolute riot erupt when you were scanning Broncos social media. Well, boy oh boy were they wrong, because the numbers do not lie, and Sean Payton was not wrong about this. I know people say that I'm like drinking all the orange and blue Kool-Aid, but show me a move that Sean Payton has been wrong on. Since he has gotten here, he has transformed this team from being a laughingstock of the NFL to when I started this channel, the Broncos are now the winningest team in professional football, have the best record at home. I could go on and on, and they've done it with the biggest dead cap hit in NFL history. It's just crazy that now if you look at who are the best inside linebackers in all of professional football, it was the guy that everyone in Broncos country said was garbage and was a turnstile, and he was so bad. It's not just that he's one of the best in all of professional football. I also would point out here that on this list, he's also played way better defenses than either Devin Lloyd or Blake Cashman have had to play. He has done this and been one of the top performing inside linebackers in all of football despite playing multiple Super Bowl MVPs already this season. Then he has now just awarded the defensive player of the month for the month of October. So just a. A complete example of Sean Payton making a gamble that he didn't feel like was a gamble. He was like, no, Alex Singleton is really good, and our biggest wish is coming true that, no, we didn't have to go out and pay top dollar to an inside linebacker. In fact, we didn't even address inside linebacker in the NFL draft until we got all the way to Mr. Irrelevant and Red Murdoch. And still. A lot of Broncos country was already pounding the table in the preseason that Red Murdoch should be the full-time starter over top of Alex Singleton. And this doesn't lie. You cannot fluke yourself into being a defensive player of the month here. And you're just looking. Already in this season, he's got 54 tackles. The snow hasn't even started falling yet, bro. It isn't even football season yet. I still want to go to the beach. It's so hot. The season hasn't even started. He already has 54 tackles, four tackles for a loss, hit the quarterback four times, one sack, and he's the defensive player of the week, defensive player of the month, and this was the craziest stat. Chris Thomason put this out here, that he already is on pace right now. Um, with 101 tackles in eight games to finish the season with 215 tackles. Uh, and the last Denver Broncos inside linebacker or last player in general who had that many tackles was the late great Randy. Actually, I don't think he's late yet. Uh, but the great Randy Gradishar who had 224 tackles all the way back before I was even born in the 1980s. So crazy here that, that Sean Payton was right about this. And I'm just really hoping that. Uh, in our heart of hearts, as we are watching the trade deadline, whether the Broncos go all in on Jonathan Taylor, whether they sit back and say, we're good with this, uh, what running back room, the Broncos make these moves correctly. And Vance Joseph, uh, came out today and said like, he is the best linebacker in football. And I've been saying that for a long time. And I love the fact that man, all of, uh, the, the narrative shift around Alex Singleton, it is real. And if you just take a look here. Alex Singleton has been a part of a resurgence here of this Broncos defense that has played Superbowl caliber teams time and time and time again, that we have not played a bad team all season long yet, which is crazy. Like even Arizona Cardinals just beat the Dallas Cowboys. Like we'll see how this Broncos team. It does when they go against the Miami Dolphins and actual bad teams, but we've had a gauntlet of a schedule. And as Chris Collinsworth comes out and shows us here, the Broncos defense is still first when it comes to the pass rush win rate, first in total pressures, first in the pass rush grade, and they're tied for fourth when it comes to sacks. And it's just crazy that all the love seems to be going to the Vikings or the Seattle Seahawks defense. And this is your Broncos up here right now, even playing great offensive lines. And all playoff teams outside of the Cardinals and the Chargers, your Broncos are leading the team when it comes to quarterback hits and when it comes to sacks. So phenomenal, phenomenal stat there. And you just compare how the Broncos have done this roster building to any other team in the NFL, teams who went to the Super Bowl last season, and I cannot help but look at all this news surrounding the New England Patriots. And this is great for us as we play the Patriots later this year. They're going to be standing in our way to get to the Super Bowl this season. And they went all in to go out and trade A.J. Brown. And they pacified the New England Patriot community who were clamoring for them to go out and make this big trade. And they were applauding the trade. While our fans were just like lambasting Sean Payton for keeping Alex Singleton, you have Patriots fans losing their mind like we got A.J. Brown. We're going to the Super Bowl. We're so good. Well, it turns out that A.J. Brown has degenerative knee condition so bad that the Rams, who were set to actually trade for him, they backed out of it and they like made a trade for Miles Garrett, who also had to miss because of knees. Um, and, and that, you know, if, if the Rams are backing out of a trade because of bad knees, you know, it is really bad. And it has gotten so bad that even the New England Patriots right now are actually looking to go out and make another trade for a wide receiver. So they already don't have a first round draft pick this upcoming season. Their offensive line is decimated. Their running back is, is not with the team right now. And then in addition to that, they're probably going to have to give up more draft capital because the New England Patriots don't have a wide receiver on that team. So you just look at how the Broncos have built this team and the gamble they made that we all hated on like, Oh, we don't want Alex. And it turns out Sean Payton was right. And even just everyone like, you know, in Raiders Nation kind of really applauding the drafting of Ashton Gentry. And it is looking like he is an absolute bust. Like they had to basically soft bench him as a wake up call. They ended up giving all of the snaps to his backup, this guy named Washington, who we loved going into the draft. He got so bad that Rex Ryan himself came out and said that he is one of the worst draft picks in the past 20 years. And that's saying something because they, they obviously drafted, uh, that one quarterback who was an absolute bust there. And we know all the busts of first round draft picks, but take a look at this. This is the number of rushing attempts per game that Ashton Gentry has had over his last, uh, what five games here. And you see him go from 23 rushes, uh, in the first game of the season. And in this last game, he had eight rushing attempts. And could you imagine? Using a top draft pick on someone like that. And so the, the spoiler alert here is Sean Payton is going to be right. And it might not be like the move we all see right away, but he is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. They're getting guys with degenerative knee issues. They're getting guys who are going to end up being the, the worst, the worst draft of, of a first round draft pick you could possibly have. And yet even their own creators, they're in Raider nation are saying Mike Washington, a guy that they scraped towards the end of the draft is a better. running back than their first round draft pick who what they got him at the sixth overall pick so many amazing talents in that draft they could have traded back and and had two or three great players instead they get Ashton Gentry who looks like he's a bust so trust Sean Payton and so as we are really awaiting this news around Jonathan Taylor you've got Broncos country divided on like team Brees Hall team Tony Pollard team give all the carries to Jonah team trade whatever it takes for JT and Jonathan Taylor. And in my mind, I'm just saying... I have my preferences, but the second I hear what Sean Payton chooses to do, that's going to be the one that I'm hyped about and excited about because all we've seen since Sean Payton has gotten here are just strikes straight down the middle because that's who he is as a team builder. And I think that the numbers speak for themselves with how the Broncos are. So it does sound as if the Broncos do have a trade offer into the Indianapolis Colts that they're going to play through this week and the Colts are going to make their decision early next week. As the Denver Broncos are on their by, so make sure you're subbed up here so you don't miss a second of that. We do also get the Broncos injury report today and we get phenomenal news because I was going into this game with the idea that we're going to be missing both Brandon Jones and Tolanoa Hufanga, but Hufanga actually practiced in a limited role, but obviously he'd been at practices and then was missing and was a DNP by his name. And that was not the sign today as we see him out there. Um, looking very, very svelte, um, which seems awesome, like doing those back pedal and explosion drills. So if the Broncos have one of their two safeties, that makes me feel way, way better. Although I'm also feeling good about Skinner feeling good about, um, obviously, uh, Devon key and the options that Broncos have there. But I think we'd all feel way more comfortable about this team. If Talanoa Hufanga is suited up, uh, for this week, um, and, and obviously this game against the Carolina Panthers, a must-win game for them. Really, you couldn't be at this point like a game out of your by and be more hyped about this injury report. Pat Bryant activated multiple days in a row that he was a full participant in practice and really just seeing that it is Chris Abrams' drain who we don't need when we got Pat Sertan back and we don't need when we got a healthy Riley Moss. And then Brandon Jones, obviously, that's a little bit of a bummer. But as long as we have one of those two guys, I'll be feeling absolutely phenomenal about the Broncos' chances against the Carolina Panthers. So let me know in the comments, do you agree with me that like all Sean Payton does is like put out absolute bangers? He's on like a generational run and that generational run is taking us all the way till February 14th. So clear your calendars because your Denver Broncos are winning a Super Bowl and we got a ton to believe in. I'm so lined up. Come on. I'm on a cold streak.
