Hour 1 C.J. filling in for Sandy Clough with Brandon Stokley in studio. The guys start off the show talking about May 4th being Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you!
C.J. and Stokley talk about Leicester City winning the Premier League Title against all odds. Leicester City was a 5000-to-1 odd to win the championship. C.J. and Stokley look at what comparisons they can draw from in other sports, that are the equivalent to Leicester City winning.
C.J. and Stokley also break down what would have been the best case scenario for the Broncos at quarterback this year. Brandon Stokley thinks the best case scenario would have been having Brock Osweiler as the starter. Brandon goes with the logic that Brock played with Denver for close to four years. C.J.s best case scenario would have been having Colin Kaepernick in town. Paxton Lynch is C.J.s second choice with Brock Osweiler sitting at third. Brandon Stokley would have still liked to have seen Brian Hoyer come in and compete.
The fellas wrap up the hour discussing if Paxton Lynch this season, would be ready to lead the Broncos to a Super Bowl. Brandon Stokley thinks that with a great defense Lynch can win this year. C.J. is unsure if a rookie quarterback can take over and lead a team to a championship. C.J. and Stokley look at other rookie quarterbacks that took over their first year. Should Lynch start this year?
Hour 2 C.J. and Stokley continue their conversation about if Paxton Lynch should start. Another factor the guys talk about is possible better protection this season. The Broncos last year had a good enough offensive line to win championship. Could the Broncos’ protect their quarterback even better this season? If so the guys think maybe theirs a chance he could. Brandon sticks with the theory that Mark Sanchez should be the Broncos’ starter.
C.J. and Stokley were joined by Broncos’ quarterback Trevor Siemian. Trevor talks about his first year in the NFL in Denver last season. Trevor discusses getting reps making the most of them when he gets them. Trevor weighs in on if he thinks he could lead the Broncos to another Super Bowl, if he’s chosen to start this season. Plus. Trevor gives his thoughts on Mark Sanchez and Paxton Lynch as teammates. Listen to the full interview HERE.
The guys wrap up the hour talking about other roster spots on the team. Which positions are C.J. and Stokley worried about? A couple of them are at wide receiver and edge rushers on the defensive line.
Hour 3 started off with more position concerns on the Broncos’ roster. C.J. and Stokley dive a little more into some concerns at the wide receiver position. Is Demaryius Thomas in line for a rebound season? C.J. and Stokley weigh in on how that might be the key at wide receiver. Also, C.J. thinks Jordan Norwood might have himself a slight breakout season.
Matt Moore from CBS Sports joined C.J. and Stokley to talk about the NBA playoffs. Matt gives his opinion on if any of his predictions have changed so far. Matt goes into what happened the other night between San Antonio and Oklahoma City. How did the referees miss a foul late in the game? Matt says “It’s never happened.” Matt also discusses what’s happening in Miami between the Heat and player Chris Bosh. Listen to the full interview HERE.
At the end of the show, C.J. and Stokley discuss more about wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. C.J. explains how DT didn’t have as bad of a season as some people think he had. Brandon Stokley explains how things tend snowball on wide receivers and that’s what happened with DT last year.
