The Drive

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos as they get set to take on the Panthers in Carolina. What are the biggest keys to victory for the Broncos? Will Jonah Coleman be the starting running back, or will the Broncos try to keep JK Dobbins happy and let him carry the ball first? Do the Broncos need to trade for a running back regardless of how Coleman plays this week? Do the Broncos need to go all in for a guy like Jonathan Taylor, or would a Tony Pollard make more sense with the talent already in the Broncos' running back room? We preview the Nuggets and Avalanche as both teams are in action this weekend. How concerning was it that the Avs didn't bounce back after their 7-2 loss against Columbus and followed it up with another loss to Nashville? Will the Nuggets have the proper attitude to beat a bad Pacers team? We wrap up the show with the guys sharing their predictions for CSU, CU, Air Force, and the Broncos this weekend.

Who is to blame for Waddle's slow start to the season? We react to Ian Rapoport's latest reporting when it comes to Jonathan Taylor and the asking price for him in a trade. Will the Colts get a "Christian McCaffrey type of haul for Taylor? Will the Broncos go all in for Taylor or opt for a less pricey option like Tony Pollard?
