00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: sure what you call it, but it was buzzing no

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: pun intended this morning.

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun, Dominic. They're one of

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: the feel good stories early in the year, are they not?

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 4: Two and oh? They are surprised two and oh two

00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 4: and oh for the first.

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Time since the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season, and a

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: big one against another two and oh teams, Cacina tonight,

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: so we'll see. The football team was out here yet again.

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: I've unfortunately started a trend. I said I'm not liable.

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm not liable. If you're tired, if you're fatigued, taking

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: nap today, do what you need to do. Coach seemed

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: to be Coach Rex Mosely seemed to be pumped up

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: about He said they couldn't keep the guys away.

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: So we love hearing that. Love getting the guys fired up.

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 5: Just don't take the nap during third period, right, correct.

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, study hall, study.

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 5: Got it, got it man.

31
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 6: All I'm saying, Dominicque, if you've got any problems with

32
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 6: people with some parents that might have some problems, come

33
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 6: call me.

34
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 5: You know, you know you're my guy. We got to

35
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 5: keep you protected out here. I do want to love Javes.

36
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 6: I do want to focus a bit on Beach Grove

37
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 6: here for a second. Sophomore quarterback Bishop Moore is having

38
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 6: a pretty solid season. What can you tell us about

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 6: him and the role he's embracing Obviously is QB one.

40
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think guy saw four hundred and forty four

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: yards passing through two weeks.

42
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's no insignificant.

43
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 5: Amount of three touchdowns.

44
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's solid when you're talking about

45
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: high school, when you think about football success you don't.

46
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Your mind doesn't necessarily go to Beach Grove. But coach

47
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: Rex mosely Man, he was awesome this morning. By the way,

48
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: he just gave me a huge handshake, like I.

49
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: Thought he was gonna pick me up. Man, he was.

50
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: He got to be fired up. He had the guys

51
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: fired up.

52
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: And again, like there is no requirement having the football

53
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: guys out there, all right, but they want to and

54
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: they want to be involved with the community. And these

55
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: these guys were fired up about it, and this school

56
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: is pumped up. Okay to be two and oh. Like

57
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: I said, you don't, your your mind doesn't go to

58
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: Beech Grove when you're thinking high school football success in

59
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: the state of Indiana.

60
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: But they have a real shot opportunity tonight to go

61
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 4: three and oh.

62
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, that QB man, he's leading the way. I

63
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: mean that in high school. You know, if you're averaging

64
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: over two hundred yards passing through two weeks like that,

65
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: to me, that's pretty pretty dang solid, especially here in Indiana.

66
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm pulling for for Beach Grove here tonight.

67
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can get it done against the scene.

68
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: It'll be it'll be tough to see in a very

69
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: high store and win over Heritage Christian last week, So

70
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: we'll see. But it's the hornet's nest. It's gonna be busting,

71
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: It's gonna be awesome.

72
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 5: KB. Is this the fighting Mike Chapels the Hornets?

73
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: Indeed, the fighting Jason Hammers, the fighting Mike Chapels here

74
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: the Beach Grove Hornets. Yes, so I expect chap to,

75
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: you know, be running out of that the big sheet

76
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: that the cheerleaders make there to start our operation football here.

77
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 6: And then on the flip side, Dominic. I know for Secina,

78
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 6: Eric Montgomery's had a big year so far. What do

79
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 6: you know about him? And I know a little bit.

80
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 6: I know he's pretty good running back for them, but

81
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 6: what he can do to lead his offense try to

82
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 6: help them stayunefeeded.

83
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: Well, what I do know about Cecina is that they

84
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: have a lot of community involvement in school pride as well.

85
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: I'm not too familiar with mister Montgomery, but I was

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: talking to Nolan Ayres, noted Cecina football alumni and noted

87
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: DePaul football alumni, and he's very heavily invested in Cecina football. Okay,

88
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: the Crusaders, all right, and he was at the Harritage

89
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Christian game and he said it was one of the

90
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: best high school football games he's been to in a

91
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: long long time. So both of these offenses seem to

92
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: be really solid here in the early going of the season.

93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: So someone's gonna have to lose tonight. But Casina, like

94
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: if I had to go like historically, like, I feel

95
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: like Casina would pull it out here. But there's something

96
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: special brewing here at Beech Grove, Okay that they might

97
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: get it done here tonight, but not too familiar with

98
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: mister Montgomery. But that's why we have them on the

99
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: schedule here tonight. We're gonna watch Sanceina football play for

100
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: the first time this season. We try to spread the

101
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: love for our eleven o'clock slate every night, seven games

102
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 2: here tonight. We're down a photographer, so we had to

103
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: minimize our games. Gone to seven games live in studio

104
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: tonight and Beach Gross Casino. That's gonna be one of

105
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: the one of the big ones. But we got we

106
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: got a very nice slate and I gotta tell you guys,

107
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: the first two weeks here of India and high school football.

108
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: Have been really really telling and really talented stuff going

109
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: on on the field. Carmel comes to mind, HSC comes

110
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: to mind. Brownsburg's a buzzsaw, you know what I mean?

111
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: New pal Decater Central tough start, first year in six A.

112
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: All right, so we've we've made our way around the

113
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: classes and there's some really cool stuff going on. So

114
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: happy that you guys got to join set eleven.

115
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: It's all sorts of fun to be. We give you

116
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: the information you need to know.

117
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: Okay, well, I'll feel in a little bit about Eric Montgomery,

118
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 6: and I can't take credit for this is I was

119
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 6: a College Network indie star. He I guess the two

120
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 6: way player. A lot of that happens in the lower classes.

121
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: And he's had one hundred and sixty seven yards and

122
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 6: two touchdowns for the first two weeks. Also had fifteen

123
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: tackles last week, so you know, quite the player. And

124
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 6: when you're speaking of some of the matchups that you're

125
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 6: seeing so far, Dominic, I think, for me, when I

126
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 6: look at the way this is all kind of shaken out.

127
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 6: A lot of times, you don't really you know, one

128
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 6: of the best things by high school sports.

129
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 5: You don't really know how it will shake out, you

130
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 5: think you will.

131
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 6: And then you have those teams like you know a

132
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 6: Beach Grove who has some success there as well. But

133
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 6: I do know, you know, you know some more prominent

134
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 6: football players in the coast locker Roomho pulled up to

135
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 6: a high school game last week, So what can you

136
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 6: tell us about that?

137
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 5: And perhaps the reaction from the crowd?

138
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was wild.

139
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: I pulled up because we were we were live at

140
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: Brownsburg that had to get all the way up to

141
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: Carmel for Carmel Westfield, which was unbelievable environment. That was

142
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: a college football environment. No mind the construction and too

143
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 2: bad we couldn't get Rakestraw on the boogermobile by.

144
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: The boyrime, crime against humanity.

145
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: But I really want to talk about I want to

146
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 2: talk about the voice similarities and the speculating the heights,

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: all right, I did. I did not forget about that,

148
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: by the way. But look, Carmel Westfield was an awesome environment,

149
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: and I listened to Rake last Friday with you guys,

150
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: and I'm sure I have something to say about it

151
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: today as well. But you know, Carmel being down and

152
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Westfield kind of supplanting them as who comes out of

153
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: the North for six A.

154
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: Like Carmel is back.

155
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: They look solid. They're fun to watch that that those

156
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: stamps were packed. And to your point, James, we had

157
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard and Daniel Jones pull up. They were walking

158
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: up when I got out of the car. I'm like,

159
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: I'm in a hurry, but I'm clocking you guys.

160
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: That you're here right now.

161
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: And then they went on the sideline and they were

162
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: watching and they were they were being really gracious taking

163
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of pictures.

164
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: With the people there.

165
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: But what an environment and what a win for Carmel

166
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: A statement win. Now they got Centerville out of Ohio tonight.

167
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: See they can keep this train rolling. But Kevin Wright

168
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: just picking up right where he left off there at Carmel. Man,

169
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: It's really impressive to see. But it was really cool

170
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: to see Ryle enterd and Daniel Jones there. I think

171
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: I saw Gary Brackett there also, So it was just

172
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: like star studded on the sideline for the Battle of

173
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: the North Side and the Greyhounds they're back, made a statement.

174
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: It was awesome.

175
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I love it. People can tune in all night tonight

176
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: once the games are over to Operation Football on Channel thirteen.

177
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: Do Dominic Moranda doing a terrific job there. Hey, we

178
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: got news late night, late last night, late in the

179
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: day anyway, that Caitlyn Clark is not going to play

180
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: again this year. I know that you had had a

181
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: very extensive conversation with her early in the year. What

182
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: are your just what were you thinking when you saw

183
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: that statement come out? What came to your mind?

184
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: It sucks. It just sucks.

185
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: Like she's such a competitor, she wants to be out there,

186
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: and I.

187
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: Just feel like she's really dejected.

188
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: And I remember we caught up with her again before

189
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, and even then, I mean, she

190
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: was playing right, but it just it just felt like

191
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: she wasn't herself. And growings, man, they are nothing to

192
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: trifle with, Like those linger. If you do not rest that,

193
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: that will linger. And if she's not going to be

194
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: the explosive player that we've all grown accustomed to her

195
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: being when she's out there, then I don't I don't

196
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: blame herself. I don't blame the Fever for, you know,

197
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: sidelining her. But it just is so disappointed to think

198
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: of the adversity this team is faced. I mean, it's

199
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: not just her. I mean, the slew of season ending

200
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: injuries is remarkable, truly, and for them to be over

201
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: five hundred still and clinging to that playoff spot, I

202
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: mean that would be.

203
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: No insignificant feat just making the playoffs.

204
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: Without her, But yeah, catching up with her before the season,

205
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: like she had a lot of goals and I mean,

206
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: you can call a sophomore slump if you want.

207
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: When she was out there, it.

208
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: Wasn't the greatest start to the season by her state

209
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: her lofty standards. Okay, but this team, it's just it's

210
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: interesting to see all the hype and everything surround I mean,

211
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: this team heading into the season and then just to

212
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: be ravaged by injuries. And you've got to give credit

213
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: to Stephanie White the adjustments made that. I mean, how

214
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: many times was this starting five even healthy together? I mean,

215
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: truly it was. It stinks that it went this way,

216
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's crazy to say they probably

217
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: won't make an extended run of the playoffs. I hope

218
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I hope I'm dead wrong, and then make

219
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: a crazy run to the WNBA championship. But it just stinks.

220
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: I think that was my prevailing emotion that the WNBA

221
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: is better when Kaitlyn Clark is playing. Basketball is better

222
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: when Kaylyn Clark is playing. And I'm sure it's just

223
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: eight r up inside to not be out there. But

224
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: if you're not going to be one hundred percent, then

225
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: you know you got to play the long game. It

226
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: sucks to say, but I understand the logic and everything.

227
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: It just stinks that it had to it's officially official.

228
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: Now we won't hear because it was day to day,

229
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: you know, technically from the team. I don't know, maybe

230
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: that designation was too hopeful or misleading.

231
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure. I'm not going to.

232
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: Speculate or anything, but it was day to day and

233
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: I remember catching up with the fever, you know, pr

234
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: around the All Star breaker. All right, she's gonna be

235
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: out expended period of time this time, right, Like, no, no,

236
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: it's day of day and anyway, here we are. But

237
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: it's disappointing. It stinks, but I just hope he's healthy.

238
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: Her and Tyrs Salbert both Man we got we gotta

239
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: get over this injury bug.

240
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 6: So Dominic Tandon were On a more positive note, I

241
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 6: know that Brownsburg, where I receiver Brendan Sharp, is a stud.

242
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: He bought out last week.

243
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 6: You know, this is a kid who has multiple Division

244
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 6: one offers right now. Had two hundred and thirty seven

245
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 6: yard and two touchdowns against the fighting Kevin Bowens last

246
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 6: week in Cathedral and a shoutout went over them. Another

247
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 6: big game tonight against Franklin Central was also undefeated. But

248
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 6: what can you tell us about him and how he's

249
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 6: kind of making his stamp on the Central Indiana high

250
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 6: school football.

251
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: Comfy young man? All right?

252
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: I do know a lot about Brandon sharp Man. He's

253
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: he's extremely well spoken to. We caught up with him

254
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: in our high school football preview, which is still on

255
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: Wtjr Plus. By the way, Brownsburg's a buzzsaw. I mean goodness,

256
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: gracious Coach Hart got those boys just absolutely clicking on

257
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: all cylinders to blank. Look, it's not the most talented

258
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Cathedral team that's ever walks through the door, but to

259
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: blank them twenty nine to nothing following up and out

260
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: of state win the.

261
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: Week before, it's got to clicking every.

262
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: Single throw, it's the and it's the yards after is

263
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: eight receptions. It wasn't that many receptions. Eight receptions, two

264
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven yards and two touchdowns. That's just

265
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: that's bonkers right there. That's that's banana cakes, is what

266
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: my high school basketball used to call it. But he's

267
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: he's super confident. He's like, look, give me the ball

268
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: and I'll do the rest. Their offense is clicking and

269
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: Oscar Fry there back there, slinging it. Good connection with

270
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: Brandon Sharp and he just gets open super easily, and

271
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: then he's in. He's slippery, he's impossible to tackle. It

272
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: was a school record, by the way, after I don't

273
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: know if you said that that's off the top, but

274
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: it was a school record. And receiving her I mean

275
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: I should hope.

276
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: So two, yeah, are you kidding me? But yeah, I've

277
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 4: talked before the season. He's undecided.

278
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: He said it was funny the day I did the

279
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: preseason one on one sit down with Kurt Signetti. He

280
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: told me, oh, that's funny because like I love Kurt

281
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: Signetti and like I used definitely in you know, front

282
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: Runner here.

283
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: So I was like, all, hight, well, that would be awesome.

284
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you think feels like you would fit right

285
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: in there in Bloomington. So undecided, but man, someone's gonna

286
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: get a steal that guy. That guy Rocks and Brownsburg

287

323
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: I still vividly remember him going down non contact in

324
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,080

00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,560

00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 6: we'll see all that shakes out.

405
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: When do the Halloween costumes come into focus in your household?

406
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,040

Speaker 3: something along those.

410
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 5: Actually, I think she said you want to be a cheerleader.

411
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: Okay.

412
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 7: My daughters want to be a girl from The Descendants,

413
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 7: the Disney movie. And then my oldest is on the

414
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 7: costume from Costco. It's an inflatable Mario costume with Yoshi.

415
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: Attached to like that respect.

416
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,560

417
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,560

418
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 7: What she wants to be yet, which is unsurprising, whatever

419
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 7: it is, she's gonna rocket we know that.

420
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah probably. Yeah. One of my favorites. Several years ago,

421
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: kids were probably eight nine, All of us went as Ghostbusters,

422
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: had the little little uh slime guns and everything. Man,

423
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: it was fun.

424
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 7: I have the old Yeah, we had the old Ghostbuster

425
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 7: stuff in the nineties.

426
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 4: That was outstanding.

427
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, football does come to the area tonight. High

428
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: school football. We just got done talking about that. Uh,

429
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: the college as Kevin was talking about just a minute ago.

430
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: You really worried about Notre Dame.

431
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: Well, I again, I don't know wish.

432
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you got a whole week before you play again, but.

433
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 5: We should probably transition to little colts Dolphins.

434
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 4: We'll get there.

435
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: But I just can't gloss right over that. I saw

436
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: the I mean, I don't know why they're gonna be

437
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: fine by the end of the year.

438
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: Bye week for a Notre Dame.

439
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna be fine.

440
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 5: Refocused on that. Yeah, gotta sea it over coming up

441
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 5: keys of the game. James Boyd, what do you got

442
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: Sunday one o'clock?

443
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 6: You should probably contain to a degree Tyreek Hill and

444
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 6: Jayleen Waddle. I said, I'll keep looking at that secondary

445
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: and I'm like, you sure you want to put Zamon

446
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 6: Howard out there on either of those guys, Cause if

447
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 6: I am the play caller, I don't know nothing about

448
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 6: play calls. I'm just saying, run straight and run fast

449
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: right past him. I gott to see if he can

450
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: hold up. They had him on their team and they

451
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 6: chose to not bring him back. So I'm curious about that.

452
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 6: I think getting pressure on too will be key as well,

453
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 6: you know, to kind of counter some of that speed.

454
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 6: You want to get pressure on the quarterback. And then offensively,

455
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 6: what they've been telling us all year, you said you

456
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 6: want to maximize consistency.

457
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 5: Well, let's see that.

458
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 6: Let's see some drives where you're able to get up

459
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 6: and down the field and you're not having these starts

460
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: and stops that you know held you back last year

461
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 6: with Anthony Ritson and Joe Flacco. So I'm excited for

462
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 6: the game and we will certainly have some predictions for

463
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 6: you all. I would assume later throughout the show.

464
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Well, that secondary that's been rebuilt in the offseason certainly

465
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: getting to get a test when you start looking to

466
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle. And I don't think Darren

467
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Waller is He's probably not gonna play, is he. I

468
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: know he's been battling some injuries. Do we have any

469
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: latest on his comeback attempt with the Dolphins at tight end.

470
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: I don't know much about what his availabil ability will

471
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 6: be be, what a status will be he'll do, But I.

472
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: Mean, if he's out there again, he just played football

473
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: and quite a while. The opposite of.

474
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 6: What I just said about Exam and how I'm running right,

475
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 6: I'm doing everything to make sure he's involved in the action.

476
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 5: I don't think he's practiced all week.

477
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then of course the speed out of the backfield.

478
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean he catches passes and he turns the corner

479
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: eight chance.

480
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

481
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 8: Me.

482
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: Tackling is going to be a premium. You know, when

483
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: you're facing a team like this. You know, the Colts,

484
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: I thought one of the poor tackling teams in the

485
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: league last year. You know, you cannot let yards after

486
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: catch because Tua does want to get the ball out quick.

487
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: And you know, this is where I think the disrupting

488
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: of timing comes into play so much. A big reason

489
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: why you change defensive coordinators, in my opinion, is I

490
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: don't think you did enough disrupting from a coverage standpoint,

491
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: particularly playing You know some press, so you know, yes,

492
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: you can disrupt timing with your front but you can

493
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: also do it from a coverage standpoint. So it's gonna

494
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: be a great challenge. And again it's a unique challenge.

495
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: I thought to a pointed this out earlier this week. Oftentimes,

496
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: how defenses choose to play the Dolphins is a bit

497
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: different than how they used to play ninety percent of

498
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL. So, you know, what does

499
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: lou Ana Room. There's not a lot of Anna Rumo

500
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: against Miami here the last couple of years, so I

501
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: think that's a little bit of a different twist. And

502
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: you know, when you look back at last year's game,

503
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 3: just not a lot of takeaway Two didn't play in

504
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: the game, Jonathan Taylor didn't play in the game, Deforce

505
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: Buckner didn't play in the game. So there's just not

506
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: a lot to point to last year in that matchup,

507
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: low scoring game, ugly game. Again, Taylor to me is

508
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: just such a huge, huge aspect to playing the ball,

509
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: control and trying to grind out methodical drives and with uncertainty.

510
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: I think behind him and how they'll utilize those running

511
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: backs healthy Jonathan Taylor based off how he ended last season,

512
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they gave him the ball a ton late

513
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: last year. I assume that'll be a big, big onus

514
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: for them coming up on Sunday.

515
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dolphins last year they were mid against the run,

516
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of ranked right in the middle, and I would

517
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: think that that's gonna be the big focal point offensively.

518
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: I know Daniel Jones going to try to hit all

519
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: those receivers, but if the Colts can get it going

520
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: with JT, that could be a problem for the Dolphins. Yeah.

521
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 6: Like Shane Stiken said, j T will be the backbone

522
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 6: of their offense, and I know people are kind of outraged

523
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 6: about that. Oh my gosh, why would he give away

524
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 6: the game plan? Jona Taylor is not a trojan horse.

525
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: He won of the best running backs in the league.

526
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 6: For this to work, he has to have a great

527
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: season at running back. And honestly, if you look back

528
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 6: at the last time Dale Jones had success in the

529
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: NFL in twenty twenty two, he had one sa Kwon Barkley,

530
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 6: who had a great season alongside him. So you need

531
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 6: a dynamic back. I think John Taylor is that, and

532
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 6: he'll have a chance to kind of prove himself too.

533
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 6: I think some of these guys won't really talk about it.

534
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 6: I think the Forest Buckner went there a little bit yesterday,

535
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 6: but just he called it scars, the scars of getting closed,

536
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 6: being disappointed and looking up after seventeen eighteen weeks and going, man,

537
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 6: I did all that for nothing, because we're not even

538
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 6: in the mix. We don't even have a chance to

539
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 6: have going a run because we didn't get a chance

540
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 6: to get into the dan And so I am excited

541
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 6: to see how they come out and ultimately, can you

542
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 6: exercise and demons here.

543
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: You have not won.

544
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 6: You're a season opener to in twenty thirteen, and that

545
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: needs to change in order for you to make the

546
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 6: playoffs the first time it since twenty twenty.

547
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Kevin, I'm really fascinated to see what kind of pass

548
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: rush the Colts put together this year. I know that

549
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: a lat two's coming on. They obviously are really stout

550
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of that defensive line, but getting a

551
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the quarterback has been tough for

552
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: them the last couple of years. They addressed that a

553
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: little bit in the draft this year, right out of

554
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: the gate, how they're going to get pressure with lou

555
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Ana Roumo's new new scheme, what's the plan to get

556
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: pressure onto it?

557
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think he's one of the hardest quarterbacks too,

558
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: pressure because it gets a ball out so quick, I

559
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: mean as quick as any quarterback in the league. So

560
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: it goes back to kind of what I was saying

561
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: a few minutes ago. To me, you can disrupt timing

562
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 3: and again a couple of different manners. If you're disrupting

563
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: on the back end with coverage and you know, sticky

564
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: press and boom to see you know, having the pump

565
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: and go to a second read or go to his

566
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: third read. That's what I think you're trying to do

567
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: with Tua. And you know, they've had a lot of

568
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: discussions in the offseason where as a big play of

569
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: an offense as they've been with Tua and Tyreek Hill

570
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: and Jalen Waddle. They didn't tap into a lot of

571
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 3: that last year. So I do think on paper there

572
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 3: is an advantage for the Colts D line against Miami's

573
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: O line.

574
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: But you know they're gonna dial up some shots. So

575
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 5: when those.

576
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: Plays happen, can the rush get home? Can you make

577
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: some competitive plays in the back end? Those gonna be

578
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 3: absolutely vital.

579
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: What's Daniel Jones line look like if the Colts are

580
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: effective offensively, like if they win and they throw up

581
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: twenty four points or twenty seven points on the Dolphins,

582
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: what does his line look like? James, That's a good question.

583
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: I'll talk back at you first. Let's see where.

584
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking seventeen to twenty five for about two hundred

585
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: and twenty yards and at least a touchdown, and then

586
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: you lean on the ground game.

587
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: Definitely lean in the ground game.

588
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 6: I don't know if I would go that high with

589
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 6: the past attempts there, Jeff, but I do think the efficiency, yeah,

590
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 6: along those lines which you just laid out will probably

591
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: be what they want to see.

592
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe six and a half seven yard

593
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: probably seven yards of pass the tent if they're somewhat successful.

594
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, but this is a guy who doesn't push it

595
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 6: down the field, so we'll see if that changes at all.

596
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 6: But I don't know I predict stat lines, man, I mean,

597
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 6: I haven't seen the guy in the offense, but I

598
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 6: would assume that if they win the game, he's probably

599
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 6: getting the end zone twice, whether that's two passing touchdowns

600
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 6: or passing in a running touchdown that's short yarded.

601
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 5: So we will see.

602
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 6: We did have Jonatailor talking about speeds yesterday and how

603
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: fast Daniel Jones is twenty one miles per hour and whatnot.

604
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 6: I want to see that on the gun on miles

605
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 6: per hour is very fast.

606
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: Remember early in his career though that twenty twenty two year,

607
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: he had some long runs where he was out running

608
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: defensive back.

609
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 5: I know, I know.

610
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: I just want to see it again in the local

611
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 3: street where they have the police speed limits sign out

612
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: and just run by and see how fast you are.

613
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: They always have that at the combine, don't they for

614
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: like the kids. The little little indoor twenty twenty five yard.

615
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: Dash Vegas has Daniel Jones's day as nineteen for twenty

616
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: eight for one ninety nine and one and a half touchdowns.

617
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: That's you're over under for Daniel Jones coming up tomorrow Earth.

618
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 5: Like Jeff will be slightly over that day. I think

619
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: it is which would be accessful day. I think it

620
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: is absolutely vital.

621
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: As horizontal as the Colts want to be, as Dink

622
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 3: and Duncan's methodical as they want to be, you have

623
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 3: to take shots down the field. You just it's a

624
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: disserviced Alet Pierce probably more than anything if you don't

625
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: do that, and you just you have to say to

626
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: Mika Fitzpatrick and company, Hey, you might not think we're

627
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: gonna do it, but we have to put that seated.

628
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: Doubt into your mind. You don't do that.

629
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: NFL is too good and they're gonna suffocate you underneath.

630
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: So I think that is a huge, huge aspect to

631
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: the Colts trying to establish some balance offensively. I know

632
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 3: a lot of people will probably be tonguing cheek at this,

633
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: but some people actually care about it. I did see

634
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: the Colts announced that any roof announcements it used to

635
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: come from the Twitter of one Jim Ersay, Uh, Colts

636
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: Life on Twitter will be announcing the roof update. My

637
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: amateur retractable roof thoughts. If it's seventy one and sunny

638
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: and you can't have the roof open on Sunday, then

639
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: why do you have the retractable roof?

640
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna guess say, open roof coming up on Sunday.

641
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: If nothing else, can we at least get Carly ERSA

642
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: Gordon to have a Twitter account to only announce what's

643
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen with the roof before each ome get it.

644
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: Seems to be pretty quiet on the old Twitter, But

645
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 5: I mean that that's all I'm looking for.

646
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Just tell me what the roof. Just tell me what

647
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: the roof is gonna be.

648
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 5: At Colts Life.

649
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: That's where you need to go on Twitter for your

650
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: Roof updates coming up on Sunday.

651
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk more about the Colts and the Dolphins.

652
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: We'll stop in with our regular Friday morning chat with

653
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: the one and only Greg Raake Straw. In a moment.

654
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: As we continue it ninety three five one o seven

655
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: for all things in the and football and everything else,

656
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: we bring in our next guest every Friday morning at

657
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: eight am, the one the only Indiana legend, Greg rag Straw.

658
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg Rake Straw. Did you catch any of

659
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: that NFL game last night?

660
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 8: I did, but I am hitting an age where the

661
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 8: rain delay tapped me out. I was locked in, especially

662
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 8: after I said Jalen Hurts was an MVP candidate on

663
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 8: your show yesterday and he maybe look smart, But at

664
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 8: like eleven o'clock, I'm like, all right, it's bourbon time

665
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 8: and time to go to bed. And that's exactly what happened.

666
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Bourbon time.

667
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: I like that.

668
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 5: Good for you, Greg, saw.

669
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 8: The best sake sleeping pills. I do a little Woodford reserve.

670
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: There you go, and then to that battle the West

671
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 5: side for you tonight.

672
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 8: Correct Pike and Ben Davis both teams coming to zero

673
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 8: and two. Uh, It's it's a really young Ben Davis team,

674
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 8: especially a quarterback. They're playing a freshman. You know, both

675
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 8: these teams have played good teams so far to get

676
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 8: to zero and two. Both teams have struggled to score.

677
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 8: I think both teams are probably better than a record indicate.

678
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 8: I expect a very competitive game at b D tonight.

679
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 3: One thought six A rake in Brownsburg. What they've done

680
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: in the first two weeks darn impressive. I think, you know,

681
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: Carmels had it obviously a really nice start under Kevin Wright.

682
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 5: I don't come end of the year we thought six

683
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 5: A was wide wide open.

684
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: Are we starting to tear things out at the top

685
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: there with the Bulldogs and I guess maybe the Greyhounds

686
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: or how do you view the top of six A?

687
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: Right now?

688
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 8: They are the early favorites in each of the two

689
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 8: respective haves. You know, it's through two ninths of the

690
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 8: regular season, so that should probably tell you, you know,

691
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 8: how much stock to put in it. You can't sleep

692
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 8: on Center Grove. They have won a couple of games,

693
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 8: again kind of like most teams that they trash. People know,

694
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 8: but are they clearly the winner of the two games

695
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 8: they have played. Yes, in terms of both Warren Central

696
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 8: and Carol of Fort Wayne. So you know, don't sleep

697
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: on them either. The way I've been phrasing people this week,

698
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 8: Kevin is this, I think Brownsburg is the best team

699
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 8: in six A, but I also don't think it is

700
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 8: a gap where they are an unbeatable team come the

701
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 8: post season or in terms of the regular season. So

702
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 8: Brownsburg is the early favorite, but a lot of ground

703
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 8: left to cover.

704
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 6: Rag When you look at what Center Grove has done

705
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 6: over the last X amount of years, do you think

706
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 6: there's a certain degree of we shouldn't take this for

707
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 6: granted because I'm looking at them every year and it's

708
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 6: gotten to the point where no matter who lines up

709
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 6: for them, who suits up, or who they lose to graduation,

710
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 6: I expect them to be in the thick of things,

711
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 6: winning matters the most.

712
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 8: I was there at the beginning of the Eric More days.

713
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 8: This is his twenty seventh year as the head coach

714
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 8: at Center Grove, and that was not viewed as a

715
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 8: good job to take. That was kind of like Barry

716
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 8: Alvarez when he got to Wisconsin thirtieth years ago in

717
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 8: terms of played to the right league, but were like

718
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 8: the smallest school and did not have exactly a great

719
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 8: winning tradition in football. Have an occasional good year, but

720
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 8: not a place where you thought you were going to

721
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 8: be competitive with the Warrens, with the Carmels, with the

722
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 8: Ben Davises of the world. And by Eric's second season,

723
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 8: they were playing in the state championship game. Now they

724
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 8: lost that game, depend but they had to beat Ben

725
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 8: Davis to get to that point. And more often than not,

726
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 8: there was kind of a brief dip a handful of

727
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 8: years after that, but more often than not, you simply

728
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 8: gonna listen, they're gonna be in the semi state of worst.

729
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 8: Part of that is geography, but part of that is

730
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 8: and you hear this from coaches a lot. This for first,

731
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 8: the Center Grove community is buying. You know, they have

732
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 8: modified their offense a little bit over the years to

733
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 8: kind of throw the ball a little bit more. Probably

734
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 8: the keep some top level quarterback recruits that don't want

735
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 8: to just hand the ball off in terms of the

736
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 8: wing tea. But it is very much like a cyo

737
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 8: version of a public school program. Everybody at the thirty fours,

738
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 8: the fifty six's middle school football, you run the Center

739
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 8: Drove offense. That's what you do. If not, you are

740
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 8: going to play someplace else, or you're gonna be routed

741
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 8: to a different high school. And so everybody kind of

742
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 8: knows the system knows what to expect. And then there's

743
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 8: the whole you know, success break success in terms of

744
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 8: the atmosphere of the stadium. Let's say it's a good

745
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 8: amount of money down there that's really been hurt, but no,

746
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 8: it is. It is remarkable what Eric did at a

747
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 8: short amount of time and then has sustained down there

748
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 8: for the last quarter century.

749
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Greg rig Shaw joining us on the Paylist Lookers Hotline

750
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: this morning. A lot of high school football around the

751
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: region tonight. We've seen the early success of Karma, which

752
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: a few folks are surprised by, but anything else over

753
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks that's kind of raised your eyebrows.

754
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 8: No, I mean, Carmel is the one to talk about.

755
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 8: And again, you shouldn't be surprised that Carmel wins. You

756
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 8: shouldn't be surprised that Kevin Wright is successful. It is

757
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 8: something to be said that they can match last year's

758
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 8: win total tonight, because they were three and seven and

759
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 8: that was on the heels of a five and five season,

760
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 8: where frankly they had a couple of games bounced their

761
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 8: way later they would have been three and seven the

762
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 8: year before as well. And so again, Kevin Wright is

763
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 8: so good at this level. He's just a good football

764
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 8: coach period. But I think everybody thought that maybe there

765
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 8: is kind of like a building year, but no, there's not. Now,

766
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 8: it helps that you've got multiple D one kids on

767
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 8: the team. Quarterback Anthony Colmer's heading for Troy helps when

768
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 8: you haven't move in. Young man named Dane Bathurst is

769
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 8: their defensive end and he's a D one level kid,

770
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 8: and he had three sacks against Westfield last week. But

771
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 8: the fact that they beat Fishers and Westfield soundly, and

772
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 8: then Fisher's last week after losing to Carmel in Week one,

773
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 8: Fishers goes and beats Lawrence North, who is thought to

774
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 8: be one of the top four or five teams in

775
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 8: the state this year. That kind of tells you how

776
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 8: quickly Kevin has kind of flipped the switch at Carmels.

777
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 8: So now, I mean, there's obviously multiple storylines, but in

778
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 8: terms of the ones that are on my radar and

779
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 8: the schools I see on the regular basis, that's the

780
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 8: storyline so far this year is the fact that they

781
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 8: are two to zero and have been pretty dominant in

782
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 8: those two wins as well.

783
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: Greg Rickshaw joining us here on the playoffs liquors hotline,

784
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 6: always gracious with his time. The last one I have

785
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 6: on the high school scene is the backstory kind of

786
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 6: leading Kevin Wright back to Carmewall.

787
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 5: I'm not familiar, so if you want to.

788
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 6: Fill me and the listeners in, you know, his last

789
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 6: game with that program prior to this season was the

790
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 6: twenty fourteen state championship. You finished as the runner up

791
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 6: to Ben Davis. And you know, you look up eleven

792
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 6: years later and he's back in the saddle. So what

793
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 6: had led him back home?

794
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 4: So to speak?

795
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 8: One to be home? I mean, that's it, you know.

796
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 8: And again he is the son of the legendary and

797
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 8: now retired Bud Wright that was the head coach since

798
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 8: the dawn of Western civilization Sheridan until the end of

799
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 8: last year. You know, his brother was the head coach

800
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 8: eleven and through a few years. But Kevin, you know,

801
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 8: started at Frankfurt, the Noblesville I'm gonna miss a step

802
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 8: or two along the way, Trinity High School. Warren Central

803
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 8: were he one multi state championships. Kevin and and a

804
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 8: lot of high school coaches are just like players want

805
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 8: to test themselves at a at a bigger level. Well,

806
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 8: there's coaches that you know, you know what, I want

807
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 8: to give this a try in terms of being a

808
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 8: college coach. And so you know, Kevin did that at

809
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 8: Western Kentucky. He took a job down at at at

810
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 8: Union High School on the east side of Tulsa. Uh

811
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 8: and and that place is crazy for many reasons.

812
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 9: Uh.

813
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 8: But but in terms of like facilities, expectations, et cetera.

814
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 8: Kevin then was on the staff and you know it

815
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 8: was it was at IMG and helped run that program.

816
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

817
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 8: Then went to Indiana University with Tom Allen, and I

818
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 8: think finally got to a point where he's like, you

819
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 8: know what, maybe it's okay just to be a great

820
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 8: high school coach and let me go home. Uh and

821
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 8: and so kind of when when this job opened up,

822
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 8: when John Hebert wasn't gonna be brought back after the

823
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 8: struggles of the last couple of years, uh, Kevin was

824
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 8: a pretty obvious choice that Kevin was interested in the job.

825
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 8: And clearly you can tell that it's paying off immediately

826
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 8: for the Carmel Grand Great.

827
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: Because that's also you and home of the old Summit

828
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: League tournament, that.

829
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 8: Is correct, And so I spent four more parts of

830
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 8: marches down there as the home of the seventh League tournament.

831
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 8: So yes, this was a high school that had a

832
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 8: fifty six hundred chair back seat arena on its campus

833
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 8: that doubled at the home of a Division one college

834
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 8: basketball tournament. And no one would have known that was

835
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 8: a high school facility when you tuned into ESPN to

836
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 8: watch the championship game. So to some degree, it was

837
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 8: kind of the caramel of Tulsa, Oklahoma's And I'll put

838
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 8: this in Kevin Bowen terms. It's not far from Southern Hills,

839
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 8: so which is where they have major golf events and

840
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 8: things go along that line. So flush with cash down there,

841
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 8: and one of the years that I was doing the

842
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 8: tournament is the year that Kevin was down there as

843
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 8: the head coach. So I kind of around the course

844
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 8: and I think he just kind of surprised you from

845
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 8: their face, and I'm like, you sure you know what

846
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 8: you're getting into down here, buddy, And I think it

847
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 8: was seven and four, and I think I'll go someplace else,

848
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 8: Thank you very much.

849
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: Sounds like a car ride up US thirty one for

850
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: you and I here before Notre Dame basketball game, shifting

851
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: gears to the Colts. He is, of course, the postgame

852
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 3: show host. He is Greg great Straw Week one coming

853
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: up Sunday one o'clock Colts a one and a half

854
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 3: point favorite currently over the Miami Dolphins. The most sure

855
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: thing in the positive development that you believe for the

856
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five Colts and the most unknown concern you

857
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: have for the twenty twenty five Colts.

858
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 8: The unknown is is Daniel Jones truly a playoff level quarterback?

859
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 8: You know? Again, he did it in twenty twenty two.

860
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 8: Do I believe that he has better pieces around him

861
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 8: in Indianapolis than he did in New York? Yes, I

862
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 8: believe that to be the case. The most sure thing

863
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 8: for this Colts football team, and again this is the

864
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 8: you know, barring injury, is the guy that will line

865
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 8: up next with Daniel Jones in the backfield and Jonathan Taylor.

866
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 8: I do firmly believe that the Colts have been a

867
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 8: good job of building their roster around the ultimate question,

868
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 8: and that being the quarterback position. But as as it

869
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 8: often does. What's the kiss theory? Keep it simple, stupid?

870
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 8: Is the quarterback enough for this team to be a

871
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 8: playoff team? And that has been the conversation for about

872
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 8: twenty nineteen on and that continues to be the conversation

873
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty five. Is Daniel Jones good enough to

874
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 8: make this a ten win team that gets into the

875
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 8: playoffs for the first time since twenty twenty Yeah, that's.

876
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: Really what everybody's looking at, and we want to see

877
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: what that rebuilt defense looks like. What do you expect

878
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: against the speed demon Miami Dolphins?

879
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 8: Good question. I think the defense is better. I mean,

880
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 8: you spend money on guys like Warren and bying them,

881
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 8: you're going to make your defense better. You know, they

882
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 8: have depth in terms of the pass rush game. You know,

883
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 8: from a schematic standpoint, how does a more restler style

884
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 8: of lou Ana Rumo I just translate for the entire season,

885
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 8: but again translates to what Miami has to offer. So,

886
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 8: you know, is this going to be a bigger play defense?

887
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 8: But maybe gives up a few more big plays. That

888
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 8: might be the case. But honestly, again, I think the

889
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 8: defense is going to be good, But I think it

890
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 8: all comes down to is this going to be an

891
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 8: offense that can produce twenty twenty five thirty points we

892
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 8: needed on a regular basis, And I think someday will

893
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 8: be another example of that. So not to shirk your

894
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 8: question on defense, I think it all comes down to

895
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 8: what this team does offensively, week in week.

896
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: Out, Greg, I do have one random one before we

897
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: close it out, and as always, we appreciate your time.

898
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: We saw and we talked about this a little bit earlier,

899
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard making an appearance at the

900
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: Carmel Westfield game last week. Certainly Westfield, you know plenty

901
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: of Colts ties on their roster.

902
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 4: There.

903
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 3: Does Anthony Richardson's little brother play at all? I kind

904
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: of forget what here he is, but I was curious

905
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: he would be.

906
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 8: I think it'd be a junior now and I was

907
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 8: kind of scanning the roster for him last week, but

908
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 8: but didn't recognize or make the connection. So not sure,

909
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 8: to be honest with you.

910
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 5: And they have Cato June's sun right, he's a pretty

911
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 5: good d one.

912
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 8: And he is going to Sam Houston State. And then

913
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 8: Chris Ballard's son is the starting center. And then Justin

914
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 8: Snow's son Got is getting reps as a tied end

915
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 8: as a freshman at Westfield.

916
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 5: Wow, geez, yeah, is that cash Ballard?

917
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 8: I believe so, yes, because because that's because because his

918
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 8: oldest is older boy. But now Kansas right, Yeah, I

919
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 8: got right quite the name.

920
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 5: That's a good name for a center, I think so.

921
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 8: More importantly, he's got pretty good size, about sixty three.

922
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, he is certainly a football player.

923
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 4: Rack.

924
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,600

00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, one of my favorite people, Matt Taylor, joining

937
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: us on the Payless Liquors hotline. Good Friday morning, are

938
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: you ready for some football. Matt Taylor.

939
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 9: I was up at four point thirty this morning, fellas

940
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 9: uh I drove down to the stadium, was hyping everything

941
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 9: up on some local TV stations now talking to you guys.

942
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 9: Were Blue in the Canal later on this morning, Downtown

943
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 9: Blue is gonna be there and then I don't know

944
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 9: what the hell I'm doing this afternoon to calm myself down.

945
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 10: Good morning.

946
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 9: I am hyped, I am ready to go. I am

947
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 9: a Colts machine. I am a We have a tornado

948
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 9: of optimism right now for this team and I cannot

949
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 9: wait for seventy thousand packs strong at Lucas Oil Stadium

950
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 9: on Sunday. I am chomping at the bit.

951
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 10: Let's go.

952
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 6: I'd love to hear that, Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts,

953
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 6: And we just had this discussion on the show. If

954
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 6: you're selling the fans on optimism, what are you telling

955
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 6: them to have them hyped up for this year, which

956
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 6: again they've been in the thick of it every year

957
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 6: in this AFC South. What can help this team get

958
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 6: over the hump and get into the dance.

959
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 9: It's a great question, and I've said this so many

960
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 9: times over the offseason. The Colts know what time it is, right,

961
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 9: they missed the playoffs four years in a row, and

962
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 9: in three of those four seasons they've won at least

963
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 9: eight games, And so they're banging on the door. They're

964
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 9: knocking on the door, but they're on the outside looking in, right,

965
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 9: whatever analogy you want to use on the other side

966
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 9: of the fence, NFL purgatory. But that's why you know,

967
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 9: they made such a sense of urgency about this quarter

968
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 9: back competition, you know, dating back to the combine when

969
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 9: they announced their playing to bring somebody in to push

970
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson, to give them some more consistency at the

971
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 9: quarterback position. I think Daniel Jones definitely does that, especially

972
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 9: if you get the high end version of Daniel Jones,

973
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 9: you know, that twenty twenty two version of him, And

974
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 9: you know, I think it's very objective to say that.

975
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 9: You know, his weaponry here with the Colts is way

976
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 9: more powerful than he ever had consistently with the Giants. Right,

977
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 9: He's got Jonathan Taylor in an offensive line, he's got

978
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 9: three receivers last year who went over eight hundred yards,

979
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 9: and they drafted Tyler Warren and then defensively, a new scheme,

980
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 9: and I mean just going going all out, you know,

981
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 9: to make sure that that side of the ball works

982
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 9: the way it needs to work under Luis Arumo from

983
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 9: you know, the back to the front and the secondary

984
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 9: Tarvarius Ward and Cam bye them and even when the

985
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 9: depth does get tested in the offseason and training camp.

986
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 10: You don't just sit around. You don't just hope.

987
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 9: Now you go out, man, you you bang that door

988
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 9: down again. You can bring in Xavian Howard, you make

989
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 9: a trade, you get in Makai Blackman. So they definitely

990
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 9: understand how that side of the ball is supposed to

991
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 9: work and they need the horses no pun intended to

992
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 9: make that happen. But also too, I'm just you know,

993
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 9: it's time. I think everybody understands like the core group

994
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 9: of these players have underperformed, especially on defense, Like there's

995
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 9: too much individual talent on that side of the ball,

996
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 9: even if it is a new scheme, right, I mean

997
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 9: the Gus Bradley version compared to that elumin in a room.

998
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 9: I think the guys on defense have held themselves accountable

999
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 9: for their failures the last couple of years on that

1000
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 9: side of the ball. Again, pro Bowl players, pro Bowl

1001
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 9: caliber players and all three levels of that defense. Just

1002
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 9: way too much talent on that side of the ball.

1003
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 9: I don't care what scheme you're running. They shouldn't be

1004
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 9: finished in twenty fifth and scoring and you know thirtieth

1005
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 9: and opponent completion percentage and all of these different metrics

1006
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 9: that you need to be good in to have a

1007
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 9: good defense, and just haven't been able to do that

1008
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 9: the last couple of years. So I think guys are

1009
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 9: coming in with a chip on their shoulder the lack

1010
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 9: of a better term, get the dump button, dump button ready.

1011
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 9: I think they're pissed off, and I'm excited to see

1012
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 9: how it kind of manifests itself. Coming up on Sunday.

1013
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 3: That is Voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor. He's with

1014
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: us here on the Payless Slickers hotline. Matt, I have

1015
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 3: been out in public a lot lately, and I cannot

1016
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: tell you how many people have come up to me

1017
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 3: and said, I am looking forward to Matt Taylor's Tidbits

1018
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: when we get to Fridays at nine o'clock season.

1019
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 5: So with that, you hear it in.

1020
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: The background, Taylor's Tidbits, the encyclopedia. He will give us

1021
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 3: all of it coming up on Sunday at one o'clock,

1022
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: actually probably pregame starting in noon.

1023
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: But love it.

1024
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: What tidbits do we have for a week?

1025
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: One from the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor, Colts

1026
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 3: and Dolphins.

1027
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 9: That music is back, baby, music to my ears. Let's

1028
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 9: get a rolling.

1029
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 8: Taylor's tidbit Number one.

1030
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 9: We know about the focal point of this offense this year,

1031
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 9: It's going to be Jonathan Taylor. Shansteiken said that there's

1032
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 9: still going to run the offense through the ground game.

1033
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 9: Jonathan Taylor last year over fourteen hundred yards, but he

1034
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 9: averaged over twenty one carries per game, and that workhorse

1035
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 9: status was really accentuated down the stretch last year. The

1036
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 9: final eight games of the year, he had two hundred

1037
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 9: and six total touches and basically the last half of

1038
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 9: the season. Now, the other two backs on the roster

1039
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 9: at the time in that stretch, those guys would be

1040
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 9: Tray Sermon and Tyler Goodson, and the last eight games

1041
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 9: of the season, those guys handled the ball just twenty

1042
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 9: three times total, fifteen touches for Sermon, eight for Goodson.

1043
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 9: Taylor's workload and the final eight games of last year

1044
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 9: if you extrapolate that over the course of seventeen games

1045
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty five, that would equal, based off my mass,

1046
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 9: four hundred.

1047
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 10: And thirty eight carries for the season.

1048
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 9: Yikes, boys, yikes, that is not good. I mean, Jonathan

1049
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 9: Taylor is obviously top five in the league, but I

1050
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 9: don't think you want to be given the ball any

1051
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 9: to anybody four hundred plus times.

1052
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 8: In a season.

1053
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 9: So I'm really eager to see what the role is

1054
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 9: right out of the gate for a guy like DJ Hidden.

1055
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 9: What's Tyler Goodson's going to give you on offense from

1056
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 9: a percentage of the pie standpoint, And you know, you

1057
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 9: just got to be able to I mean, Johnathan Taylor's

1058
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 9: got to be the.

1059
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 10: Focal point, there's no question about it. But you can't

1060
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 10: be the only focal points, right. There's got to be

1061
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 10: more balanced with than this offense. You guys have talked

1062
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 10: about it. I've talked about it.

1063
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 9: You got to exploit the middle of the field better.

1064
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 9: You've got to be able to get your shots or

1065
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 9: have the threats of the shots and the chunks deatball

1066
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 9: game in the passing game to spread out that defense sideline.

1067
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: The sideline then I think you really got something.

1068
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 9: With Johnathan Taylor being able to reach his full potential

1069
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 9: while balancing out in the past, and the big playability

1070
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 9: that you have on the outside, specifically the guys like

1071
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 9: ad Mitchell and Alex Pierce.

1072
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 10: Last year he led in the NFL on yards per catch.

1073
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 3: Are you thinking DJ Giddens as the first man up

1074
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 3: or what a Tyler, a healthy Tyler Goodson be first

1075
00:47:58,719 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: man up?

1076
00:47:59,120 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 4: There?

1077
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 9: You know, I'm gonna sit here and I'm going to

1078
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 9: say I don't know, and I might just be contradicting

1079
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 9: myself because again, I think over the course of seventeen games,

1080
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 9: you want to focus on Jonathan Taylor, but you also

1081
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 9: need to balance out the passing game too. But in

1082
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 9: this game with so many unknowns, with goods and bangs

1083
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 9: up with the elbow, although he has been practicing this week,

1084
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 9: but still a little bit of a question mark for

1085
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 9: Sunday's game. And then with Giddens, you know, he's a rookies.

1086
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 9: He's never playing the game, so you don't know what

1087
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 9: to expect. I'm just assuming here that it would be

1088
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 9: a little bit of a stretch to say that the

1089
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 9: Colts are going to give him, you know, eight to

1090
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 9: ten carries right out of the gate, so I wouldn't

1091
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 9: be shocked to see Jonathan Taylor get you know, twenty

1092
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 9: twenty two to twenty three carries on Sunday. But then

1093
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 9: over the course of the early season, I think that

1094
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 9: number could go down based on the amount of trust

1095
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 9: that the coaching staff and the the guys on offense

1096
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 9: would continue to have and see from what they get

1097
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 9: out of DJ Giddens based on his productivity.

1098
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 5: All right, that was quite the tease.

1099
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 3: I know, Taylor tidbit number two will even exceed our expectations.

1100
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 9: All right, here we go. We got the Dolphins coming

1101
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 9: up to a tongue of viola. He's back on offense.

1102
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 9: He's missed the last two games with the Colts, or

1103
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 9: his first two opportunities to play against the Colts with concussions,

1104
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 9: so this is going to be his first start ever

1105
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 9: against the Colts. And last year the Dolphins went six

1106
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 9: and five with two in the lineup, they averaged twenty

1107
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 9: four points per game. But Miami was two and four

1108
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 9: without him in the lineup, and they averaged only thirteen

1109
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 9: points per game. And they've really struggled over the course

1110
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 9: of time. I mean to his concussion. You know, his

1111
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 9: problems staying on the field in terms of head injuries

1112
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 9: have been well chronicled. He's missed fifteen games the last

1113
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 9: couple of years. But the thing that really stands out

1114
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 9: to me is that, you know, the playmakers just really

1115
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 9: struggle when he's not in there. I mean, he's a

1116
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 9: great quarterback, but there's a big time drop off. So

1117
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 9: you've got Tyreek hill Is Jalen Waddle. Neither of those

1118
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 9: guys has scored a receiving touchdown without two a tongue

1119
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 9: of viola as the starting quarterback since the twenty twenty

1120
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 9: two seasons, So there's a drastic impact when that.

1121
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Might be the craziest thing You've said for a while.

1122
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I'm full of them boys. I'm full of

1123
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 9: crazy stuff.

1124
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 4: You know.

1125
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 5: You just got to talk to Matt Taylor more often, Jeff.

1126
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the deal.

1127
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 9: I mean, Tua is he's statistically one of the best

1128
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 9: quarterbacks in the game. He's a quick, timing, in rhythm quarterback.

1129
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 10: He likes to get those completions that keep.

1130
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 9: You on schedule down in distance wise, you know, second

1131
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 9: and four, third and two in the last three years

1132
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 9: in consecutive order. He's led the NFL in passer rating,

1133
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 9: passing yards, and completion percentage. A quarterback like Tua in

1134
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 9: years pass against this Colts defense would have been the

1135
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 9: Colts defense nightmares. But now they've got a new scheme,

1136
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 9: You're going to be playing a little bit more aggressive,

1137
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 9: especially on the outside, maybe.

1138
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 4: Some press man.

1139
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 9: I don't know if you're going to see a shadow

1140
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 9: job tomorrow with Tarvarius Ward on Jalen Waddle, but this

1141
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 9: is going to be a huge test for just like

1142
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 9: how different and how aesthetically different this Colts defense looks

1143
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 9: going up against a premier quarterback in Tua who's healthy.

1144
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 10: You see him right out of the gate.

1145
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 9: And again, in years past, this would have been the

1146
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 9: kryptonite offense against the Colts defense.

1147
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 6: How much do you think laatu Latsu will factor into

1148
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 6: that timing when it comes to just putting some pressure

1149
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 6: on Tua because we know a lot too. He's a

1150
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 6: first round pick and the next sessions are high.

1151
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it's a great question.

1152
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 10: I think obviously he has to have I mean not

1153
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 10: only on Sunday, but just for the season.

1154
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 9: He's got to have a big season. The Colts needs

1155
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 9: someone desperately to turn into a scud if they need

1156
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 9: somebody of that group that when the game's on the

1157
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 9: line and the double team and the focus of the

1158
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 9: offensive line is you know, shifting or shading towards that

1159
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 9: one guy in a huge moment, that one guy still

1160
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 9: needs to go out there and make a play and

1161
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 9: disrupt the timing. And so you know, for this game though,

1162
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 9: it's going to be tough because Tua, like I said,

1163
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 9: he's a quick rhythm, balls out quick type of a quarterback,

1164
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 9: high contention percentage guy. It's more on this game. I

1165
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 9: think it's more on the disruption responsibility of the secondary,

1166
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 9: you know, to disrupt timing on route and route combinations.

1167
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 9: And we used to call it in college when I play,

1168
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 9: we used to call reroute guys right and make them

1169
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 9: get off their path on a reroute by you know,

1170
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 9: one or two steps to disrupt the timing of the

1171
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 9: play in the vision of to Atungueo viola. So that's

1172
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 9: what I think is huge on Sunday. Yes, the pass

1173
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 9: rush has to be there, but with the ball getting

1174
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 9: out so quickly from Tuas, the secondary has to do

1175
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 9: their part and maybe then some to disrupt the timing

1176
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 9: from the passing games in Miami.

1177
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, voice of the Indianapolis Colts on the Payless

1178
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: Lakers hotline player not named the new player not named

1179
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren that will make Colts fans the happiest.

1180
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 9: Ooh, I think it's got to be Daniel Jones. I mean,

1181
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones has to make everybody happy in order to

1182
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 9: be happy on Sunday. I mean, I heard you guys

1183
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 9: earlier talking about the stat line.

1184
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 10: For him, he just needs to go out there and

1185
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 10: be himself.

1186
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 9: And he also understands that, you know, he needs to

1187
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 9: complete sixty to sixty five percent of his passes, you know,

1188
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 9: stay within the offense. And that's why he's there. It's

1189
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 9: to be, you know, the consistent quarterback in terms of

1190
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 9: ball placement, overall accuracy. Pre snap recognition is the biggest thing.

1191
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 9: They love his ability to do that, to be able

1192
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 9: to get out of bad plays into good plays at

1193
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 9: the line of scrimmage, interpret what the secondary is doing.

1194
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 9: But he also understands too, He's been doing this a

1195
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 9: long time and he is, uh, you know, going into

1196
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 9: I think what the Sunday his seventy first career starts.

1197
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 9: Inevitably in any NFL game when the stakes are high,

1198
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 9: any quarterback has to win from the pocket. Right, you

1199
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 9: can ride Jonathan Taylor and he can go you know,

1200
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 9: over one hundred and fifty yards in this game potentially,

1201
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 9: but inevitably, he's got to make four to five throws

1202
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 9: on Sunday that flat out win game. And those are

1203
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 9: kind of sprinkled throughout the course of a sixty minute game.

1204
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 9: They might be in the first quarter when you need

1205
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 9: a big third down conversion, or they might come in

1206
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 9: the second half when you need to needle the ball

1207
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 9: on a tight window inside the red zone or get

1208
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 9: a big play down the sideline to Alec Pierce to

1209
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 9: set you up for a scoring opportunity. Those are the

1210
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 9: big plays of the crunch time, clutch throws in completions

1211
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 9: that every quarterback in the NFL has to make to

1212
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 9: win a football a game. And so that's the responsibility

1213
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 9: of a quarterback. Try to stay within himself, but also no,

1214
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 9: when those moments are there, Daniel Jones has to step up,

1215
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 9: has to deliver for this offense.

1216
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: Always good to talk to may Tayo. We're welcome here

1217
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: every Friday, and even beyond and two through nine, ten

1218
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: seventy the text line what would your textan let? What

1219
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: would your text line name be? I'm just curious.

1220
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 9: Oh man, Well, I've probably try to stay under the

1221
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 9: radar and the weeds a little bit.

1222
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1223
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 9: I might go with Colts Grimlin five or something, you

1224
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 9: know that was great off the top of your head,

1225
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 9: I know, the Kevin Bowen trolling eater. I don't know.

1226
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, I.

1227
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 9: Try to stay above the fray a little bit.

1228
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 4: When you you talk about you know.

1229
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 9: YouTube chat responses and Twitter, Twitter dms, it's uh.

1230
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 8: It can bring out.

1231
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 9: The worst in people, but we try to have fun

1232
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 9: with them.

1233
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 8: We don't, Yeah, we don't.

1234
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 9: We don't take ourselves too seriously. We're not digging ditches.

1235
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 9: We're very fortunate to be able to do what we

1236
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 9: do and have fun with it, and so really excited

1237
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 9: for Sunday.

1238
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you, mate, Thank you so much,

1239
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: and have a great game on Sunday afternoon.

1240
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 4: Matt, all right, guys, be well.
