The Drive | Hour 1 | 05.07.25
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Cecil and Richie. The guys debate who will be the x-factor for the Nuggets tonight. Has interim coach David Adelman proved he deserves to be the next head coach of the Nuggets? Was Michael Malone holding Jokic back from being a leader? Zach and Phil react to ESPN’s Mike Clay projections for Bo Nix’s 2025 passing stats. If Bo put’s up similar stats to his rookie year, would that be a successful season? We also react to an AI projection of Bo Nix’s 2025 stats and Phil explains why he wouldn’t like to see Nix air the ball out for 4,000 yards and prefers the Broncos to be a running team and that will lead to more wins. There are two specific Broncos looking for a pay-day, how should the Broncos proceed with Nik Bonitto and John Franklin Meyers? Should the Broncos give them an extension now or wait till they prove it again this upcoming season and risk having to pay even more?
