The season opener of the Postgame Podcast is here, and Kevin, John and Adam waste no time getting into it. The Broncos dropped their second preseason game 33-13 to Green Bay at Empower Field, but the box score buries the actual story: Bo Nix looked healthy, sharp, and completely unbothered by the ankle.
Nix opened with a touchdown drive, hit Jaylen Waddle on a 35-yard strike, and put 10 points on the board in two drives before handing it off. RJ Harvey took a wheel route to the house. The offense, for two possessions, looked exactly like what you'd hoped.
Then came everything else. Missed open-field tackles. Penalties that killed drives. A second quarter Green Bay owned 16-3. The guys don't sugarcoat it — this was sloppy, undisciplined football, and Sean Payton's standard doesn't allow for it.
Also in this episode:
- Jahdae Barron vs. Kris Abrams-Draine filling in for Riley Moss (ribs — not serious, out for preseason game three)
- Jonah Coleman carving into a J.K. Dobbins / RJ Harvey timeshare
- The roster bubble at running back: Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie, Cody Schrader
- Davis Webb's play-calling and what it tells us about the offense
- The QB2 "battle" that isn't a battle — Jarrett Stidham is Payton's guy, full stop
- Patrick Mahomes in a knee brace and the very real odds Kansas City finishes last in the AFC West (John says 3%, Adam says 10%, Kevin says 30%)
- Why the Chargers still don't pass the smell test
- The Payton standard vs. the nice-guy Nathaniel Hackett era
- 21 days until Broncos-Chiefs. Riley Moss days.
Plus your comments all show long — Ken, Jeremy, Angelo, Michael, Sean and Jose all get airtime, and Richie from Orange and Blue Network takes comment of the night with "Riley Moss equals the Eminem of cornerbacks."
