The Drive | Hour 4 | 10.07.26

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos. With the team reaching the 4-week mark in the season, we hand out progress reports for the coaching staff, the offense, defense, and more. At what point will Sean Payton take back play calling if the offense continues to struggle? Has Payton already taken back more responsibilities on the offense? We hear from Sean Payton on the outside criticism of Bo Nix and how to fix their slow-starting problem. Has Bo Nix been going out of his way to avoid running the ball to avoid contact following his ankle injury last year? We hear from Bo Nix on why he isn't running the ball as much this season. Are the guys buying that Nix is seeing the field so well he doesn't need to run? Is Nix trying to avoid "the big mistake" to a detriment where he's afraid to push the ball downfield? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to summarize everything we learned in Denver sports today.
