The Drive | Hour 2 | 08.31.26

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on the Avalanche and failing to meet expectations last postseason. We pivot to the Broncos and break down the cuts they made over the weekend. What do the guys make of the Broncos cutting Justin Joly and Red Murdock? Could Joly have been the Broncos' tight end of the future if he didn't burn bridges in the building? Should Jaleel McLaughlin have made the final roster over Tyler Badie? Today's "Three Count" features Peyton Watson's comments on Michael Porter Jr's podcast following his absence in the playoffs, reacting to Week 0 in college football, and reacting to how empty USC's stadium was when hosting San Jose State. With the Broncos being one of the oldest teams in the NFL, we debate if there is an added level of urgency to win a Super Bowl now.
