The Drive | Hour 4 | 07.15.26

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and Bo Nix. Zach explains Bo Nix's struggles against zone coverage and how he needs to improve in this area of his game. How will Jaylen Waddle help Nix's zone coverage problems? We look into Sean Payton's history and how his offenses have always spread the ball around to all the playmakers on the team. Will we see a lopsided amount of production from any one individual? Could we see two Broncos go for 1,000 receiving yards? We react to Colin Cowherd's comments on wanting to have Bo Nix in a 4^th quarter rather than Lamar Jackson. We react to the impressive 2027 recruiting class Deion Sanders is building up in Boulder. How long will it take for this recruiting class to make a difference for CU, and does Deion have enough time to let them develop? We wrap up the show by recapping what we learned in Denver sports today, with Jonas Valanciunas leaving the NBA and signing with a EuroLeague team and the Avalanche's season-opening game being announced for September 30th.
