It is Colorado's morning news. We have a five in three Broncos, five in three Ravens. However, the Ravens are still highly favored in this game. Why is that when we're even for the record so far? Well, I mean, I think they have been one of the kingpins of the AFC for the last handful plus years and they're playing at home. And I think there's still are people that are maybe surprised with what the Broncos have done. But they say they haven't played a team like the Ravens. The Ravens are a tough matchup for anybody. I mean, with the Mark Jackson and Derek Henry, and they can throw the ball. They've got good receivers, Mark Andrews have tied in. I mean, this is a team that if you had to stay right now, hey, pick a couple of teams that you think would be most likely to get into the AFC Championship game. And I know it's only early November, the Ravens would be one of them for me. So it doesn't mean the Broncos can't win, but they're going to have to play their best game of the season back there, I think, to give them a chance. Assuming when Mark Jackson's healthy, this is going to be the best offense that the Broncos have faced all season? Without a doubt. And I don't even think it's close. Because you've got the quarterback designed game with a Mark Jackson. You've got Derek Henry, who has really resurrected his career. And I think Lamar Jackson is a bit, at least in the regular season, underrated in terms of how he throws from the pocket. He can extend plays as good as anybody in the league. He has improved his game over the last couple of years from the pocket. So yes, I mean, explosive offense, it starts with trying to figure out a way to get a hold of that running game. I mean, yeah. And that's easier said than done, for sure. But yes, yes, by far the best offense the Broncos will see. Dave, do you think Lamar Jackson will play on Sunday? Because when we had Rick Lewis on earlier, he wondered if they might sit him out because they then play again against Cincinnati coming up on Thursday. The Ravens got a quick turnaround time. Yeah, they do. Gina, I don't think there's any question he plays. Now, you know, maybe there's something going on in the ball the more he didn't practice. And there is a little bit of something the Broncos are aware of because when you don't practice a couple of days, that would tend to make you believe that he's not going to play. And maybe that happens. But as we sit here today on Friday morning, if I had to wager harder money, whether or not Lamar Jackson plays or not, I'm absolutely saying he's going to play. So you don't want to get ahead of yourselves because we got Baltimore this week. We've got Kansas City, the next of course, focusing on this. If you're Sean Payton and you're looking at these next two games, what does he hope to? Where does he hope to see the Broncos in that next step, that next evolution? This is the next test to show really where the Broncos are in the hierarchy. The AFC. Is it not? Well, yeah, Marty. I think it is. I think, how would I describe it, you're going from maybe sitting at a five dollar table playing blackjack. Now all of a sudden somebody invites you to sit at a hundred dollar table. I mean, you're getting into the really difficult part and the Broncos and the coaches would say the whole season is difficult and it is to a certain degree. If you're stepping up into the operational on of AFC title contenders, I mean, you can make the case the Broncos on Sunday and then the next game in Kansas City, they're playing the two favorites in the AFC Buffalo, probably would be in there somewhere, but you can make the case that Kansas City and Baltimore are the two best teams in the AFC. So to me, I think it's an opportunity to gauge where your team is, your young team. It's a barometer to see, okay, here's where we are after this game in the next week. Here's where we match up. Here's where we've got to get a lot better, but you'll have an idea certainly after Sunday. Dave, the KOA newsroom is obviously looking at Tuesday as election day, but our sports experts here are probably looking at Tuesday as the NFL trade deadline. Do you see the Broncos making any moves? That's a tough one. I don't see him making what I would say any major moves. I think there will be teams that will acquire about two or three players. I mean, everybody who's talked about Baron Browning and I think teams would have an interest in him. I'm not sure teams would not have an interest in a guy like Greg Dulcich, who was still very young, very athletic and presumably healthy at this point. With the dearth of quarterback playing the league, wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody picked up the opponent today. Where are you with Zach Wilson or Jared Stidham? So I don't know if the Broncos make any of those moves, but I think there will be teams that inquire about those players from the Broncos. And I'll follow up that question to be the last question. Dave, do you think the Broncos, based on what you see right now about halfway through the season, do you think the Broncos need to make any moves to bolster their chances? Here's what I think, Marty, they don't do. I don't think they expend any, what I would call, significant draft capital in order to bring somebody in. I think that this is a team that, I mean, you look at how they feel about this year's draft class, and I think they really feel like they hit on this year's draft class. So what they want to do, I believe, is put together another draft class last year and start from a foundational standpoint to build this team back with young pieces that are homegrown. So maybe they go out and test the waters, but I don't think you'll see the Broncos giving up a second or third round pick and next year's draft for anybody that might be available.
