Episode Description

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil preview the Broncos' final preseason game, and we debate what the defensive side of the ball will look like. We speculate why the Broncos are playing Jonathan Cooper but not many of the other starters on defense. Could Cooper start the season on the Commissioner's exempt list? Who are the guys expecting to make the Broncos' final 53-man roster? Zach, Phil, and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition against the morning show. We review the Morning Show's gripe with one of our questions and try to beat their 2-2 performance from earlier today. We pivot to the Avalanche as Cale Makar signed an NHL record-breaking contract extension for 8 years. Could Makar's huge contract upset the "cap culture" within the Avalanche locker room?
