Mike Klis

Today on Stokley and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the longest show title of all time, Brandon Stokley picked the Seattle Seahawks.

I do believe Mike Evans picked the Denver Broncos.

Congrats, Mike.

And of course, on Dover and Cecil, we picked the Denver Broncos to win.

I had the score quite a bit higher.

We know that Sean Payton's here to fix it.

Whatever.

Like, to me, before we dive into the, "Man, why does the offense continue to struggle?" Lots there, but I want everyone to know, like, hey, you're four and two after six, man, and this, this six-game schedule before the season, and when the schedule came out, both Andrew Mason and myself, Mike Klis said it, repeated it plenty on Dover and Cecil, like, hey, if you're three and three after six, you're right on schedule.

Today, a couple hours before the injury report dropped, Jeremy Fowler reported that Talanoa Hufanga, per sources, is expected to miss two to three games with his ankle.

I did take note, Zach, later, that Mike Klis said, "Per my source, Broncos are thinking that he'll miss this game and then maybe the week seven game, but he'll be back for week eight against the Chiefs." So there's gonna be no Hufanga.

He's ruled out, Zach.

Final injury report, you had the story for us at, uh, milehighhuddle.com. Surtain is out, but what about Riley Moss?

And you, and they want us to ignore the issues.

I, I think, I don't know about you, Mike, but I think people don't wanna think that Bo Nix isn't the guy.

Bingo.

That is 100% what it is.

He's in a crisis.

Now, how do you fix it?

Mike, I, like-

How do you fix it?

So why? Why?

That's the million dollar question, Mike.

Why?

I mean, who...

Stoke, it's a fair question, absolutely, but that still doesn't explain to me the loss of swagger, the loss of confidence out there, the tended- tentativeness that I'm watching from him right now.

That, that, that doesn't explain... 'Cause that quarterback that had those questions coming out of college, I don't, I don't think anybody felt that they were watching a quarterback that a lot of times would look-

... flat out, d- dare I say it, flat out scared out there.

You got some... get some things fixed, learn from it, and, and hopefully play better.

All right, we got Mike Klis, our 9News Bronco insider will join us coming up at, uh, 6:45.

We'll get the latest on all those key injuries, Patrick Surtain, Pat Bryant, Riley Moss.

Also, an hour from, well, a little over an hour from now, 7:30, it's Telestrator Tuesday with one Brandon Stokley.

It's Stokley and Evans with Mark Schlereth on Denver Sports 1043, The Fan.

Can you take me higher.

Mike Klis joining us in about a half hour.

Mark, of course, coming along at 7:00.

Did not wanna see Pat Surtain walking gingerly, assisted off the field, back up the tunnel into the locker room.

The good news is, according to our 9News Bronco insider, Mike Klis, it would appear that he has avoided serious, like season-ending injury.

Same for Pat Bryant.

Riley Moss, severity still to be determined.

One, you know, the need to run the ball, all those sorts of things.

Two, talked to Mike Klis earlier today, and Klis had suggested something.

'Cause I said, "Hey, listen, either J.K. Dobbins is hurt, or he's just the compilation of injuries have made him into this back today." And essentially, Klis told me, he's like, "He's trying to get his sea legs back." I'm like, "Okay, that's fair," but also at the same time it's like, it's week four, I don't have time to wait for somebody to get their sea legs back.

This may just be who J.K. Dobbins is now.
