The Drive | Hour 3 | 08.19.25

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by veteran NFL reporter James Palmer to discuss the latest on Nik Bonitto after he posted a cryptic message and spoke to the media today for the first time all season, where Jahdae Barron slots on the corner back depth chart, and if Dillion Gabriel was taking a shot at Shedeur Sanders over the weekend with his “competitors and entertainers” comment. Zach calls his shot and predicts Nik Bonitto and the Broncos will sign a contract extension this week. We have news coming out of Indianapolis with the Colts announcing their starting quarterback, Daniel Jones. Have weeks 1 and 2 for the Broncos become “must-win” games? We react to Coach Prime calling out his team and telling them they are not ready to play next Friday in their season opener.
