This is the DNVR Broncos Podcast from the Xfinity Studio. We're back.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:36)
We are so back. Yaya recorded me.

**Henry Chisholm** (0:39)
I was spinning around in my chair.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:40)
Isn't that fun?

**Henry Chisholm** (0:40)
I was a little bit dizzy, but apparently Yaya was taping the whole thing. You missed most of it.

**Andre Simone** (0:45)
You're turning ad reads into like an X game style thing. In 20 years, my daughter HJ., your son, might be competing in the Olympics doing similar tricks. So you might. This might be.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:07)
Can you hear us right now? Good work, Yaya.

**Andre Simone** (1:12)
Oh, wow.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:14)
He's really.

**Andre Simone** (1:16)
That's that's bait right there. Yeah, it is. Yeah, that's bait.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:20)
That's bait. He wants it to happen.

**Andre Simone** (1:23)
He does. He does.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:24)
Yeah, I. Indeed. We should probably dig into these power rankings because I think we fear 16 teams is too many for one hour.

**Andre Simone** (1:34)
Over, under us getting through the so setting the odds of us getting through all 16 plus 250 for yes and a strong like minus 320 on the no.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:50)
Wow, you're taking a pretty big cut there.

**Andre Simone** (1:51)
If I were.

**Henry Chisholm** (1:52)
Yeah.

**Andre Simone** (1:52)
Well, that's over some on over under. How many we get through? What would you set the line at like 12, 12 and a half?

**Henry Chisholm** (2:02)
I'll say to see the thing is, I feel like if we get to like 13, we can power through the last few. But if we get stuck around 11, then we're just going to wind up having to say we're finishing this tomorrow.

**Andre Simone** (2:13)
I have hot takes for the bottom of the conference.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:16)
Good news, that's where we're starting. That's where we start.

**Henry Chisholm** (2:18)
We are going from bottom to top, or some people would say Raiders to Broncos. The Raiders probably aren't the worst team in AFC.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:27)
Let's talk about it. Let's talk about who is the worst.

**Henry Chisholm** (2:29)
Who do you think is the worst?

**Andre Simone** (2:32)
I feel strongly about the Tennessee Titans.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:34)
Oh, okay.

**Henry Chisholm** (2:35)
Okay. See, I feel like the easy answer is the Dolphins.

**Andre Simone** (2:39)
I also think that's the most likely coach to not make it through the season. I believe in Malik Willis significantly more than I do Cam Ward.

**Henry Chisholm** (2:48)
Okay, I can't go that far for this year or in general.

**Andre Simone** (2:53)
This year and in general.

**Henry Chisholm** (2:54)
Okay. See, I think long term, I think Cam Ward looked pretty good last year. People get mad about it. But even going back to the game against the Broncos, week one.
Remember when he was hitting receivers, going down the field, doing all that sort of stuff? And then you wind up with a fumble instead of the game winning touchdown drive.

**Andre Simone** (3:11)
I remember him hardly stringing together one decent drive and us having to freak out about it. Yeah, I remember that.

**Henry Chisholm** (3:16)
I guess I thought I think I think he's got some tools there. I think the supporting cash just needed to be better. I think the defense is functional might be too big of a word.
But with JFM and Jeffrey Simmons in the middle, there's something happening there.

**Andre Simone** (3:35)
And I'm not a JFM hater by any means.

**Henry Chisholm** (3:37)
But also, I mean, every team has one good player, you know? Yeah, correct. There's nobody who doesn't have X. I mean, who else are we nominating? The Dolphins. They've got A-chan is probably their best player.

**Andre Simone** (3:48)
Yeah, yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:50)
Right.

**Henry Chisholm** (3:51)
Do the Jets have a good player? Garrett Wilson?

**SPEAKER_1** (3:53)
David Bailey, man.

**Henry Chisholm** (3:54)
David Bailey already. Okay. Okay.

**Andre Simone** (3:56)
And they get Gino. They might be half decent this year.

**Henry Chisholm** (4:00)
Okay.

**Andre Simone** (4:01)
