Eric TrickleHOST
And then when you break it down to an individual standpoint for it, with these blockers, with their success rate, with the run blocks on these man concepts, well, you have Luke Wattenberg and Mike McGlinchey, who are both over 15% of that drop from their individual success rates on their executing their blocks from last year to this year.
Eric TrickleHOST
Ben Powers is doing slightly better.
Eric TrickleHOST
It's about, it's like 4.6, 4.7%.
Eric TrickleHOST
And then Quinn Miners and Garrett Bowles are about even with what they were last year.
George StoiaHOST
Yeah.
Josh McCuistionHOST
Like this guy, like Drew Semien, Ben Powers, like they might kill somebody, and you don't see any of that.
Kerry MurdockHOST
Yeah, there was that one game, I think it was against West Virginia that one year when Drew Semien just like attacked a guy.
Kerry MurdockHOST
Like it was, it was like intentional-
Cameron ParkerHOST
So to get a little offensive, let's look into it.
Cameron ParkerHOST
The Broncos offensive line has some issues of Ben Powers and Luke Wattenberg and also Mike McGlinchey as well when you look specifically at some of their issues on that O-line.
Cameron ParkerHOST
I think some of the problems I think can be easily corrected because based on the history with what we've seen for that offensive line, they are a relatively well-structured unit.
Cameron ParkerHOST
They were considered one of the best O-lines in football the last two years for all intents and purposes and all statistics.

For more information, please visit kalshi.com. Well, as we talked about that right at the very end, what can the Denver Broncos do to address the issues of this offensive line? Ben Powers, you know, when he has been healthy, he is shown to be a really good guard.
Cameron ParkerHOST
Unfortunately, he's just been battling so many different injuries and it feels like he's not the same guard that he used to be even at the early days of the Broncos and frankly when he was with the Baltimore Ravens.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
Um, listen man, uh, Cody, I, I feel what you're saying because I watched the run by Bijan last night, and I said, "You know what? The Broncos had a similar run to it, if you go back and watch the game against the Rams, when R.J.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
Harvey, on a pin and pull play, they were trying to get both Ben Powers and Garrett Bolles out, but the play never really hit the way that it was supposed to.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
Now it went for, like, maybe 10 yards, but it was called back due to holding.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
And for me, I go back as I watch these games, there's a little schematic issues, but it comes down to execution.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
And on the particular play that I'm talking about, you saw both Pat Bryan and Ben Powers run right into one another.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
And if Powers is able to get around the edge, Bolles already got the kick out for Ben Powers, climb up to the linebacker, punch him with his right hand, and then climb up to the safety.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
The explosive play that you're talking about, that we saw Bijan Robinson hit his head on the goalpost last night, those plays are available.
Nick FergusonPANELIST
But you're having issues up front and at the wide receiver position when it comes down to execution.
Cody RoarkHOST
Like, once again, I, I feel like, not to be drastic or dramatic, but if you're the Broncos, if you're Sean Payton, you know what I'm doing? I'm challenging guys.
Cody RoarkHOST
I'm challenging Ben Powers.
Cody RoarkHOST
I'm challenging Mike McGlinchey a little bit, and I'm saying, "You know what? I'm gonna put different guys in there.
Cody RoarkHOST
We're gonna rotate guys this week, at least in practice." Gotta make these guys feel the flame a little bit.
Zack KelbermanHOST
Maybe like Throck Morton would hold up for a game or two, but they have interior problems that span beyond Wattenberg.
Zack KelbermanHOST
Ben Powers has been pretty bad as well.
Zack KelbermanHOST
We saw Garrett Bowles have a penalty-filled game yesterday, and you mentioned, Michaela, and you're right, that McGlinchey has not been good.
Zack KelbermanHOST
They're pretty much stuck with this five until next year.

Chad JensenHOST
Yeah.
Chad JensenHOST
And Matt Pert too, but Matt Pert's a left side only guy.
Chad JensenHOST
But if something were to happen to Ben Powers or they chose to bench him, Cage Casey's probably the first guy they put in there, not Alex Palcheski.
Chad JensenHOST
Remember, Alex Palcheski was not their preferred choice to step in for Powers last season at left guard.
Nick FergusonHOST
But guess what? Bo couldn't really throw it to me.
Nick FergusonHOST
If you remember, there was pressure over Ben Powers.
Nick FergusonHOST
Then Byron Young got around Mike McGlitchie.
Nick FergusonHOST
It forced...
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
If you're going to cover three or cover one, you're going to hit the seam.
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
If you're going to have two or four or six, you're going to run the post in the middle.
Nick FergusonHOST
But, Ben, you give it away because you put that inside slot receiver on the ball.
Nick FergusonHOST
You're right.
Grant SmithPANELIST
Okay.
Grant SmithPANELIST
Germaphobe Benjamin Allbright.
Grant SmithPANELIST
Right.
Grant SmithPANELIST
On your side.
Cecil LammeyHOST
I don't have the answers, Mace, so I'm merely asking the question.
Cecil LammeyHOST
But do you bench Ben Powers? I can't pinpoint one lineman exactly and say, like, it's his fault.
Cecil LammeyHOST
But we know that Powers, again, an older player, may not be quite what he used to be, restructured to stay with the team.
Cecil LammeyHOST
I mean, not saying there needs to be a scapegoat, but you can't keep doing the same thing and having it struggle and then be like, yep, do it again, guys.
Sarah BenningerHOST
I mean, take these things personal, guys.
Sarah BenningerHOST
Like Ben Powers, Luke Wattenberg, Mike McGlinchey, you guys are now being perceived as the weak link on the offensive line, and i- it's, like take this stuff personally.
Sarah BenningerHOST
Go out there-
Cody RoarkHOST
Yeah
