The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE from Mobile, Al for Senior Bowl practice! Washington State QB Luke Falk joins the show to tell Big Al & DMac he got some good shots in during team period, and it’s fun getting the opportunity to play during the day, after he was starting to get used to all the late games in college. The guys are joined by Ian Rapoport, as Rapoport says his focus today was on the sidelines, and he noticed some up-and-down performances. Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to talk about incorporating the run-pass option for Baker Mayfield, and how Mayfield’s accuracy is breathtaking at times. FAN Insider Cecil Lammey joins the show to say Baker Mayfield stole the thunder from Josh Allen on Day 1, and today wasn’t the most exciting practice.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

Big Al says we will see the QBs in shotgun & they should start to feel comfortable with their practice reps. Al thinks it’s time to make a transition away from our QBs in Denver and just move on, and DMac takes a look at Josh Allen’s measurements, noting that Allen likes playing in the cold. Also, Al says he’s not judging Baker Mayfield just yet, and DMac takes a look at the Broncos advantages watching drills first-hand. DMac notes that Josh Allen is living in the same house as Sam Darnold, and Al notes that each of the QBs today have fumbled a snap. Also, none of the Senior QBs are standing out besides Baker Mayfield and his height. Big Al says it’s fun to see stars on college teams be role players for the Senior Bowl, and the guys dive into 7v7 drills as practice wraps up for the day.

 

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

DMac gauges Big Al’s impressions on the QBs, and Al says Baker Mayfield won the day despite his height. After an unimpressive first day, Big Al is hoping Luke Falk is the guy that plays well & stands out above the rest. We hear from Baker Mayfield, who says ‘family first’ is just the type of guy he is, and he’s still learning the game & mentally testing himself. Washington State QB Luke Falk joins the show to tell Big Al & DMac he got some good shots in during team period, and it’s fun getting the opportunity to play during the day, after he was starting to get used to all the late games in college. Also, Big Al & DMac offer up their sympathy to the Washington State family after their major loss of Tyler Hilinsky to suicide. Listen to the interview HERE! The guys are joined by Ian Rapoport, as Rapoport says his focus today was on the sidelines, and he noticed some up-and-down performances. Rapoport notes his surprise at some of the throws Josh Allen was missing on, and that the Senior Bowl has become the NFL’s biggest gossip circle. Also, impressions on the overall environment in Mobile. Listen to the interview HERE! Denver7 Broncos Insider Troy Renck joins the show to talk about incorporating the run-pass option for Baker Mayfield, and how Mayfield’s accuracy is breathtaking at times. Renck says Mayfield’s height shouldn’t matter, and Baker is nearly a surefire first-round pick in the ’18 NFL Draft. DMac mentions Mayfield’s mother’s health problems, and Troy says its family first when it comes to Mayfield. Also, Troy says it would be awful nice to have an offense with an identity, and Josh Allen & Baker Mayfield would help the Broncos in that aspect. Listen to the interview HERE!

 

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

Big Al says it’s becoming more and more obvious Gary Kubiak had nothing to do with the Paxton Lynch pick, and DMac says since we don’t see the meetings, it’s possible we missed the Broncos falling out of love with Paxton. Also, how obvious these Senior QBs personalities have become. FAN Insider Cecil Lammey joins the show to say Baker Mayfield stole the thunder from Josh Allen on Day 1, and today wasn’t the most exciting practice. Also, why the Texans got a more productive practice in, and why it’s time to harvest the relationships forged in Mobile. Listen to the interview HERE! Al says the Broncos held a more traditional practice today, and says he wants to see the practice fit the prospect. Also, Al notes that it looked like today’s practice was geared toward the QBs. DMac notes how impressed he was with the big play to Michael Gallup from Baker Mayfield, and Al says it’s all about touch & timing. Al says tomorrow should be better, and the defense won the day today. Also, why we should look for Luke Falk to take steps forward in the next practice.
