1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: I we're back in another edition here of Colt's Corner 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: with myself Kevin Bowen. It is a week thirteen and massive. 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: That is the simplest way to describe what Sunday we'll 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: be inside of the Soil Stadium, and we'll probably say 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: the same thing next week with at Jacksonville playoff odds. 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: I was looking at some numbers and I get it 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: still a little early for that, but you know, if 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: you play around count that the Athletics Playoff simulator, two 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: wins for the Colts would push their divisional chances north 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: of ninety percent and two losses would drop it to 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: fifteen percent here right now, And if you split, you're 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: probably looking right out of a coin flip, and you 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: probably you know, set up some huge games to close 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: out the season when it's Jacksonville and Houston there the 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: final two weeks of the year. So lots to get 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: to on Today's Pod culture in that walkthrough season. So 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't have an injury report just yet, and didn't 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: have any practice availability like we usually do in person, 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: but Shane Sychem did ask them any other injuries out 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: out of that Chiefs game, and he said no outside 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: of Ashton dol them. But I guess let's start with 22 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: doing go to be an injured reserve. You know, when 23 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: you think about it from a special team standpoint, yeah, 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he's a 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: guy that creates two to three first downs a game, 26 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: and whether that is offensively like he did on Sunday, 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: or his ability to make a coverage tackle, punt or kick. 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: He's just a very very unique player. And you know, 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: he probably has three to four roles in this football 30 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: team that I don't think George Odom getting promoted all 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden checks all those boxes. Of course, to 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: those roles, Lakwon Treadwell is gonna have to do a 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: little bit more. And you know, one thing to point 34 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: out about their wide receiver depth chart right now, with 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: the trade of ad Mitchell and then Dolan going to 36 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: IR for a month, you really need Michael Pittman Junior 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: and Alec Pierce to stay healthy. And you know, those 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 1: guys have been pretty durable, you know, throughout their careers. 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: I know Pierce said couple concussions, but you know those 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: guys have pretty much been healthy, you know, in their 41 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: respective seasons. But right now, the backup outside wide out, 42 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: that third wide out would be treadwell. And I think 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: we've kind of yet to really see him offensively. Obviously, 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: he's a very decorated player, frankly going back to his 45 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: old miss days, and you know, former first round pick, 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: and you know, had a nice preseason finale there with 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: Riley Lennard. But you know, duland I are again, he 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: will be out four weeks and you look at these 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: four games, like your field goal favorite Sunday, you're it's 50 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: probably gonna be a field goal type spread next week 51 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, same thing in Seattle. You know, one way 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: or the other. You know, I have a feeling this 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: is kind of gonna be the coin flipping nature to 54 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. And guy like Doolan can 55 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: make a player too. That is the difference in the game. 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: So you know, I get from a contrastual standpoint or something, 57 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: or you know, he's listed as your fourth wide out. 58 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: But I think most fans, I think I'm speaking to 59 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: a pretty intelligent group here that knows full well what 60 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: Ashton Doolan can mean and does me to this football team. 61 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,679 Speaker 1: The Daniel Jones injury situation, I I mean there's not 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: really a whole lot there. I guess it's a bone bruise, 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: but you know, no one's really saying anything more on that. 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: I fibula again is the injury. They said the list 65 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: him is limited today for that Wednesday walk through, but 66 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: then he'll be good to go. And really, Shane Syck 67 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: can try to downplay it, you know, are you gonna 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: need to manage it through the rest of the season, 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: And you know he really downplayed that aspect to it. 70 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: You I'll go back to what I said on Monday. 71 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: I definitely thought there were some moments in Sunday's game 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: where you could see him favoring it. But then you know, 73 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: also there were times where I didn't necessarily think that, 74 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: And really actions speak louder than words, right, well, a 75 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: little bit of actions from dani Zelones in the game. 76 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: But also if the Colts had any concern over Jones 77 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: in that Kansas City game, wouldn't they have brought Brett 78 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Repping up for injury insurance just to have a third quarterback. 79 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something they did. They haven't done since 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Richardson suffered the eye injury, but because something they did 81 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: all the time with Sam Ellinger, you know, having that 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: third quarterback there, and it's not like their roster is 83 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: in a dire injury situation. It's where they can't afford 84 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: to make such a roster move here. So I get 85 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: anthy Richardson's still out, so don't expect his return any 86 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: imminent nature on that aspect to it. You know, a 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: couple other items, just going back to Monday. I mean, 88 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 1: I do think not to rehash everything Jonathan Taylor related, 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: but you know, if I just had to kind of 90 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: summarize it, I would say, you just let Kansas City 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: off the hook a little bit. That's obviously my opinion. 92 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Chane Styke, and I don't think on the regret meter 93 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: has a whole lot of it. You know, maybe that 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: final drive there a midfield, which we talked about about 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: four or five minutes ago. I did think that was 96 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: kind of a clock opportunity for you to at least 97 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: make Kansas City's final drive have to respect the clock. 98 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: I never thought Kansas City had to respect it. Honestly, 99 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: the Colts had to respect it more than Kansas City did. 100 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: But you know, if you go back and you look 101 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: at Taylor in these one possession games, I mean, you 102 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: have rowed him a lot late, and you know it's 103 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: not like you know, when you look at it, it's 104 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, twelve carries against Atlanta and the fourth quarter 105 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: in overtime, and it's matt number against Denver and close 106 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: to that with Arizona. Even the Rams game was you know, 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: a good sized number there, and if you look at 108 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs was just three in the fourth quarter and 109 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: overtime there. The Steelers game, you were down by so much. 110 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: I think it's you know, you were pretty much in 111 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: the full kind of pass mode at that point of 112 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: the game there, and you know, to me, it's just 113 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: so much of a you were able to let them 114 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: dictate to your own player, to your best player. And 115 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: I get there's a little bit of that at the 116 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: running back position, but I still think you can't just 117 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: throw in the towel that quickly, you know, when you 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: have a player like his talent there. So again, I 119 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: don't want to hit too much more on it, because 120 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: we did talk a ton about it earlier in the week, 121 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: you know, I know Eddie and I mentioned it on Monday, 122 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: But there is a little bit of like, boy, if 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: Shane doesn't have a whole lot of regret if he 124 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: doesn't think there's any limitations to the play calling with 125 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: the fibula injury. You know, to me, he should have 126 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: some regret about the you know, backed up at your 127 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: own goal line. To me, the second and twelve and 128 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: the third and twelve was really playing with you know, 129 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: major major fire there. You know, does that mean that 130 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: he's just very frustrated with the Daniel Jones you got 131 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter or not. Not not that there's 132 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: anything you can do about it, but you know, just 133 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: from an evaluation standpoint, does you just feel like flat 134 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: out that their passing game and that quarterback didn't make 135 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: enough plays? Period? And I think that's probably you know, 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: a fair statement you could have there when it comes 137 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: to looking back on that on that fourth quarter. There 138 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: a couple other stichen items, just to go from earlier 139 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: in the week, he said replay assists told him to 140 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: know a great catch was good. I guess I should 141 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: say the official near the Colt sideline told Shane when 142 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Shane was asking him that replace assist said it was 143 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: a catch. There's no point in challenging at that point. 144 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: I think that's one of those where, you know, had 145 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: they called it and completed in the field, then it 146 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: probably doesn't get overturned. Had they called it a catch 147 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: on the field, which they did, it probably doesn't get overturned. 148 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: That's probably how I'd view it. I never got a great, 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: great angle that it had definitely hit the ground there, 150 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: and then I know a lot of debate on the 151 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: overtime decision, you know, Shane mentioned on Monday, it's kind 152 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: of a fifty to fifty split analytically to where people 153 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: are around the league right now and taking the ball 154 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: versus not taking the ball. So again, you have a 155 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: ten minute period. Each team gets a possession, even if 156 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: you score a touchdown to start. Obviously, the biggest con 157 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: in taking the ball is you lose the know what 158 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: you need to do on fourth down element to it. 159 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: That would be the advantage of going second. I know 160 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: what we have to do, et cetera, et cetera. Shane, 161 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: I think falls in a little bit more of the 162 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: boat of field position with the kickoff touchback rule going 163 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: to the thirty five, I'm probably going to start that 164 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: opening drive from the thirty of the thirty five and 165 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 1: as long as I get some yardage there if I punt, 166 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: like the Colts had to you're going to probably pin 167 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: them back. You know, I think it was out the ten. 168 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken of that Kansas City drive. Let's say, 169 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: even if it's the fifteen, let's just say the thirty 170 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: five yard line for the first team that gets the 171 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: ball versus the fifteen yard line for the second team 172 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: that gets the ball. That is a twenty yard difference. So, 173 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think that is notable. I can understand 174 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: where he's coming from on that. And then if you 175 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: get a third drive, which I get might be a 176 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: little bit far fetched, but you know, Kansas City's one, 177 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, third and seven is ever worthy away from 178 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: having that decision to make from their own twenty or 179 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: twenty four. I think it was, then you're going to 180 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: get the ball back for that third, third possession. Now, 181 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: you know, hearing his rationale, I still go back to 182 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: what I said on Monday. I would have been hesitant 183 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: to send my defense back out there after the fifteen 184 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: play ninety hoard drive. Yeah, at that point they've been 185 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: on the field for what eighty some plays, So at 186 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: that point, I yeah, that would have played into it. 187 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: But it doesn't sound like Shane necessarily you know, falls 188 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: into that boat with that rationale there in terms of 189 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: the overtime. Okay, let's focus a little bit more now, 190 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: Colts Texans again coming up one o'clock on Sunday, you'll 191 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: get Iron Eagle JJ Watt. I actually think the spread 192 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: has risen a little bit. I think it was four 193 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: and a half last I saw so a little bit 194 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: more here on the Colts side of it here as 195 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: a favorite. I went over those numbers earlier again to 196 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you know AFC south wise. Just it can change in 197 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 1: a hurry big time here. You know, one thing that 198 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: you know is kind of scheduling quirk with how the 199 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: Colts schedules played out this season. It's their first home 200 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: game now in a month, and then they won't be 201 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: home for another couple of weeks. So really, if you 202 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: look at about a six week span, seven week span, 203 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: it's the only Colt home game, and the Colts have 204 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: been better at home. You know, I don't act like 205 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: they've been bad on the road, but if you look 206 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: at it, I mean the point totals forty thirty eight, 207 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: thirty three, thirty one, thirty one, twenty nine as they're low. 208 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: That was Denver and that's obviously that Denver defense, and 209 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: then just flat out it'll be good on good on Sunday. 210 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: The most points Houston is allowed all season is twenty nine, 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: and you know, it's a second rank scoring defense against 212 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: the first rank scoring offense. It's the second rank totally 213 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: yardage offense against the first ranked total yardge defense. So 214 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: just so much good on good. But you know, again, 215 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: the Colts have been better at home. The yards per 216 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: carries about a yard and a half better, touchdown to 217 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: interceptions are better, the yards per attempt is a full 218 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: yard better. Now the schedule I don't think has been 219 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, menacing at home, but still I think those 220 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: are all things to point out. Let's start with the 221 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: Houston offense. You know, we'll continue to monitor the CJ. 222 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Stroud situation. Sounds like a few more things to clear, 223 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: but the thought is he will be clearing can Cushier 224 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: protocol and be out there. And Jalen Petrie for their 225 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: defense is another guy to mention as well in the 226 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: same boat. I mean, you know, I think Colts fans 227 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: know Petrie, but he is a great player for them, 228 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: very physical, very attacking, critical piece to their back end. 229 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: So that'll be a name to watch as well as 230 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: he's kind of in the same boat as Stroud, But 231 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, I I fall into kind of the same 232 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: boat as I usually do with Houston. Nico Collins is 233 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: Nico Collins. He's a flat out stud. But I just 234 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: don't trust the Texans offensive line, even though some of 235 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: the faces have changed a bit. You know, when you 236 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: look at Nico against the Colts over the last three meetings, 237 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: and the numbers are eye popping one one ninety five one. 238 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: Those are the receiving yardage numbers the last three games. 239 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: And honestly, what's most impressive to me is the catches 240 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: versus targets. You know, for a wide out, you usually 241 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: don't see that number being super consistent, but he had 242 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: twenty six targets in these three games and twenty two catches, 243 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: So you know, he's easily, you know, outside of Pukinakua, 244 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: right up there with any wide I I think the 245 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: Colts are gonna play this season. You know, we'll see 246 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: what he's at healthwise. He took quite the shot I 247 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: thought on Thursday night against Buffalo. But I mean, this 248 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: is why you have Sauce Gardner and Shaveri's Award. And 249 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the cornerback duos that 250 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: the Colts have started the outside cornerback duos in those games. 251 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: You know, the list is Juju Brents and Jalen Jones 252 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: and you know, Dallas Flowers and Darryl Baker. I mean, 253 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: that's not Sauce Gardner and it's not Javerious Ward. And 254 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: I think people are really torn on well, actually I 255 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: shouldn't say that. I would say mostly people feel like 256 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: the Colts defense played pretty well on Sunday, which again, 257 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: you know, it took me thirty minutes to get into 258 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: on the Monday Pod. I think I'm there, but there 259 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: is a lot of stuff that kind of gives me pause. 260 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: And you know, I heard Mattel saying, Cults Round Table Live. 261 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: It is one of the wilder stats i'd heard. It's, 262 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, the biggest yard differential the Colts have had 263 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: in a game since twenty seventeen, which I'm like, damn. 264 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Colts have had a lot of bad teams 265 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of bad games in the last whatever 266 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: eight years, nine years, and for a two hundred and 267 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: forty yard differential to be the most was surprising. Mean, 268 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City still had you know, the most yards they've 269 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: produced all season long against you. But you know, again, 270 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I firmly believe the Mahomes of Blueprint is the Mahomes 271 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: of Blueprint. And you know, for the most part in 272 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: the Stroud era, they have done a good job in 273 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: pressuring him and getting after him. And you know the 274 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: anar Arumo history. I think it's just one game. Don't 275 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: believe Nicol Collins played in that game. He actually threw 276 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: for about three fifty against ant Arumo. So we'll see 277 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: how he comes back after missing about a month. Obviously, 278 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: the defensive end duo is is everything. It's they are 279 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: a and Will Anderson Junior and Daniel Hunter. They can 280 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: go wreck a game. They can do what TJ. Watt 281 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: did again, they had that aspect to him. They're third 282 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: and fourth individually in sacks right now. They've been particularly 283 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: good in this wind streak, you know, the Davis Mills 284 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: three star win streak. I want to say they've combined 285 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: for an eleven and a half sacks in these three games. 286 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, again they are just a great, great duo. 287 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: And you know, how much do you chip how much 288 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: do you leave Warren and how much do you put 289 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: Taylor over there? You know, then does that limit what 290 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: your route tree looks like? And for a quarterback right 291 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: now that's having some questions and some struggles, how much 292 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: does that impact him? So all of that is very 293 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: much at play. You know, Tamiko Ryans is kind of 294 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: handed the defensive coordinator play calling duties to Matt Burke, 295 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: So it's a little different there than what it has 296 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: been in some of these past meetings here. So you know, 297 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: we'll get into the predictions after Twitter questions. But so 298 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: much of the game I think centers for Houston to 299 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: come into your building and be victorious, one of those 300 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: guys has to wreck the game period. I think if 301 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: you are looking at a quiet ish and by record, 302 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean like not just a sack or a sack 303 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: and a half, I mean like they take the ball away, 304 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: they directly make a play or two that leads to 305 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: a turnover. What you know a lot too, did you 306 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: know on that opening series there in Kansas City. Okay, 307 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: let's get to a little Twitter time here. We got 308 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: a few questions to get to and certainly safe travels 309 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: to everybody out there on this Thanksgiving Eve. As I 310 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: record this and hopefully this will quench a little bit 311 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: of your commutes. Or I don't know, maybe you just 312 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: need to lock yourself in the bathroom and act like 313 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: you're going number two for a while and want to 314 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: get away from your family. Zero judgment here, This from 315 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Ryan KB make me feel better about Daniel Jones and 316 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: his quarterback ceiling. Tell me it's play calling. Tell me 317 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: it's a white out, it's not getting separation. Tell me 318 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: that Jones is a legit top ten guy. We always 319 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: have seen eye to eye in the QB situation. I 320 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: don't want a game manager. I don't want to depend 321 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: on my play action. I want a quarterback that we 322 00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: can one hundred percent lean on as a play make. 323 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: When you have an MVP candidate and Taylor downfield, success 324 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: should be off the charts. I should be locked up 325 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: in an institution for this next comment. But I'm one 326 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: more bad QB game away from wanting to see Anthony 327 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: Richardson of this revamped old line and Tyler Warren. Well. 328 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: As far as that last part is, Ryan, I wouldn't 329 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: hold your breath on Anthony Richardson, you know, even be 330 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: healthy enough to necessarily cause such a question to be asked. 331 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: You know, right there, Ryan, you say yourself, I want 332 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback that we can lean on as a playmaker. 333 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: If anyone who's listening to this podcast for longer than 334 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: a month, that has always been my you know, Mantram, 335 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: I've been such a draft and developed believer. You've got 336 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: to find a guy, particularly in MAFC. You got to 337 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: have that guy, et cetera, et cetera. So you know, 338 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: tell me that Jones is a legit top ten guy. 339 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: And there's no way I can sit here and tell 340 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: you that whatsoever? You know, does this recent play lead 341 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: more towards franchise tag versus long term deal? What about 342 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: the tag? You know, this cap hit all being absorbed 343 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: in that twenty twenty cap. Is that an ideal situation 344 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: for you after you just traded for sauce? And these 345 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: are all very difficult questions, all of it, But right 346 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: now I think there was real Daniel Jones concern. And 347 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: I go back to those Blitz numbers. You know, when 348 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: the pressure has been around him, Like a lot of quarterbacks, 349 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's either good play for you or it's 350 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: good play for us. Well, early in the season, the 351 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: Colts were producing some of that, but in Jones's career 352 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: he hasn't been that, and now lately those situations are 353 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: continuing to arise. And I really think for Jones and 354 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more Stiching Era, just again, what a 355 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: massive game coming up on Sunday. You know, when you're 356 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: in that first year and you get that Week eighteen 357 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: winning get in that, it's kind of a honeymoon phase 358 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: still Denver last year, Yes, I mean that was a pivotal, 359 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: pivotal game, but like this is a game in next 360 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: week as well to where all of a sudden, now 361 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: you play from ahead in Jacksonville, they have to come 362 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: and get you, and they need two things to happen. 363 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: And I think that is why I look at Sunday 364 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: in just such a critical, critical game, especially two on 365 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: the road right after that. But yeah, I mean, as 366 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: far as Jones is concerned, I cannot you know, I'd 367 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: be lying to you if I said, oh yeah, let 368 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: me talk you off the ledge. Everything is golden here, 369 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, the lack of shots deep You know again, 370 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: I hated just two targets to Alec Peerce. I just 371 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: think there are to me and I say this to 372 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Eddie on Monday and see you guys given the cold 373 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: skill group right now, like naturally, Tyler Warren's going to 374 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: fall into his touches. But for me, you have to 375 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: dial up multiple downfield shots to Alec Pierce's game and 376 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: let Jonathan Taylor touch the ball a little bit more 377 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, especially, I have a one possession 378 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: game where you have the lead and you're on the road, 379 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: and you know, even go back those numbers I mentioned 380 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: to you earlier in the podcast are the one possession 381 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: games and how much you were touching it, how much 382 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: Taylor was touching it, you know, and a lot of 383 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: those wins there. All right, let's go to King. He 384 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: goes fit. Should let go of my super Bowl dreams 385 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Don't think Shane Steichen is a super Bowl 386 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: caliber head coach. He makes blunders that we think he 387 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: learns from, but your averts back often like not running 388 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: getting past crazy when Daniel Jones is shaky. We got 389 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: a pretty decent line of questionable decisions from him. I 390 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: think he is an advantage. He is an advantage against 391 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: good coaches, but against great coaches, I don't think he 392 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: can hang. So my question is, can you please tell 393 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: me why I'm wrong. I want to be so bad. Well, 394 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: you know, it is kind of funny when you look 395 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: at it. The Colts have lost to three Hall of 396 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks and probably three Hall of Fame coaches. Right, 397 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I assume Sean McVay is on that trajectory, and my 398 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Tomlin and Andy Reider at ethinitely hall of Fame coaches. 399 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's there are times where I am as 400 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: confused as you are. King. He's a smart, smart dude. 401 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that I like. I mean, 402 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: the good news is you're at eight and three. You're 403 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna have more of these moments to prove yourself and 404 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: to rewrite what you know last week's chapter at least 405 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: is you know, to me specifically with the whole you know, 406 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: players not plays getting away from Taylor, I don't consider this. 407 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people will be like, Shane's 408 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: done this twice this season. I really don't. I mean, 409 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: I know Taylor didn't touch on the fourth court of 410 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers game, but at that point you were legitimately down. 411 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh had done a really nice job. I 412 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: don't even think you had like the twenty seven yard 413 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: spark in there like he had on Sunday, and again 414 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: scoreboard dictated you to probably get away from him Sunday. 415 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: I don't think his apples to apples. The Kansas City game, 416 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: to me, is not the same as a Pittsburgh game. 417 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: So I understand we can kind of get into this 418 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: narrative a little bit here of like, oh my gosh, 419 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: you know he did it again. Well, I mean, you 420 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: go back and listen to what I said after Pittsburgh game. 421 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: I just don't feel it in that same light. But 422 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: I just, yeah, that's kind of I guess how I 423 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: view things right now with Shane. A couple of questions 424 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: about Anthony Richardson Walter old Dayner, thank you for those. 425 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: Will Anthony Richton play in a game again this year? 426 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: He was in the locker room again doing a little 427 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: Papa shot action with this Florida sweatshirt on us all 428 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: earlier today. You know, I asked the question right after 429 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: the injury happened, either that Monday pot or Wednesday pot. 430 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: After the Arizona game, will Anthony Richardson put on a 431 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: cold uniform again? And I sit here, now, what are 432 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: we a month and a half removed from it? And 433 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: that question to me has zero clarity in a positive 434 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: direction on it. I did get a question or two 435 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: about Riley Leonard. No, this is a I I assume 436 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: this is a Daniel Jones ship one way the other. 437 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: One way or the other. This is where things are going. 438 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: That's how I would view it. This is a Daniel 439 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: Jones ship for the rest of the season. And you know, 440 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: there is part of me that thinks Jones is earned 441 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: earned that. But your your depth chart plays into I mean, 442 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: you're really gonna throw Riley Leonard out there like a 443 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: I think we're premature on that for Jones's own play, 444 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: to be clear. But also it's not like you know, 445 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: you have backup sitting there that have a proven themselves, 446 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: b been in NFL games, C are healthy Craig As 447 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: with the Colts exposed against the Chiefs, Colts played man 448 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: coverage and forty seven percent of the snaps because they 449 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: have stud corners. But you have the Chiefs to beat 450 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: them on big plays in the fourth quarter when it 451 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: mattered the most. Are we hyping Ward and Sauce up 452 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: too much? Again, I think the Mahomes blueprint is different. Now. Granted, 453 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: I do hold this defense to a very high standard. 454 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: And that's where I look at Sunday. I'm like, yes, 455 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: you got zero complimentary help when the game was on 456 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: the line, but damn three fifty two ninety play drive 457 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: in the games on the line. That's where I am 458 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: at a little bit of boy, I just can't all 459 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, tell you to have deserved 460 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: after all you did was eat one bit of your day. 461 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: I no more young parent commet than that one right there. 462 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: But again, Sunday is I mean Sunday, I feel very 463 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: confident in the Colts defense, like it is a to me, 464 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: it's a very Nico Collins or what from Houston? Offensively, Hey, 465 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: he's Woody, Mark's gonna get going on the ground. Here 466 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: is Christian Kirk gonna have a notable day. Dalton Schultz 467 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: gonna death buy a thousand paper cuts on you. Here, 468 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: let's go to Neil. Can you give my girlfriend Heather 469 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: a shout out? How about that, Neil? I'm taking her 470 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: to her first NFL game in Jacksonville? Oh boy, week fourteen, man, Neil, 471 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: how about that? I Heather shout out to you. Let 472 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: me start there. I hope you're having a great Thanksgiving 473 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: and let's just say, I hope the Colt's history is not. 474 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: You're the indicator of your relationship turning out history there, Heather. 475 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: If you don't fully comprehend that, Neil can explain it. 476 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: But yeah, that should be at least a great weather game. 477 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe that's what's needed, Neil and Heather. 478 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: Neil get on any of the fifty yard line, maybe 479 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: that'll make the difference in the Colts. Do it by 480 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: that pool up there in the upper deck, Maybe that'll 481 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: make the difference and the Colts finally winning down there, 482 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: He goes, do you think the Colts are running out 483 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: of steam lately? Or do you think we were playing 484 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: better competition? Yeah? I largely think it's a better competition. 485 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: I do you know the conversation we had a few 486 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Have the Colts answered all the questions? No, 487 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: they hadn't answered all the questions. They had answered the 488 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: questions presented to them at that point. But now the 489 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: new test is here. You'll go back to what I 490 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: said earlier about these you know, Vegas lines the rest 491 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: of the season, whether it's environment, you know, more road games, 492 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: whether it's better defenses, whether it's teams in you know, 493 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: playoff competition. Has said on the last week's podcast by Record, 494 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City is the easiest team you'll play the rest 495 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, starting on Sunday. Every team 496 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: you play the rest of the season, the final six 497 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: games are better than five hundred. So I think it's 498 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of better competition. Yeah, you know, maybe 499 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: some of it again, is you know, running out of steam? 500 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: Is that another way to say, you know, seventeen week 501 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: grind all of a sudden, the teams have seen you 502 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: on film, Maybe more of a blueprint there. There's probably 503 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: some truth to that as well. Let's down with the 504 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: wake spy k guys, if Forced Buckner was healthy and 505 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: in the Kansas City game, would we have won? Do 506 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: you agree? Also, I personally can't stand Chris collins Worth 507 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: or Tony Romo's announcers. Do you have any announcers whose 508 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: style you don't particularly care for? You know, one thing 509 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: again to mention about Buckner is you know, the fact 510 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: that they're optimistic he's going to return this year. I 511 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: think it's very big news. And yeah, I mean I 512 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: do think that game, given how your defense couldn't get 513 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: off the field, had a definite feel of it that 514 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, Buckner would have made a difference in that game. 515 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, all you needed was one play, you know, 516 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: one play, and you're probably doomed enough to win that game. 517 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: So I would say yes. But you know, again, the 518 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: fact that he sounds like you're Optimisity's gonna come back 519 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: is great, great news. Yeah. I you know again, I'm 520 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: not a big I'm not a big ref fan. I'm 521 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: not a big announcer fan. I know there are a 522 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: lot of people out there that just despise officiating cruise 523 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 1: and despise announcing cruise. That's why I mentioned the announcing 524 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: cruise on the podcast. I know a lot of people 525 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: care about him. You know, there's definitely ones that I 526 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: like or enjoy, you know, for example, from a Big 527 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: ten standpoint, I'm not a big Stephen Bardo guy. Yeah, 528 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: I can get why hearing Romo every week would probably 529 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: wear on you. There's part of me that's like being 530 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: in the game. You know, he like he made a 531 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: huge deal. For example, out of that Josh downs miss 532 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: on third and four and like in a vacuum, You're like, man, 533 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: you're really reacting like that on a you know, late 534 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: third quarter, third and four of a game. It's whatever 535 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: two scores. But I think he know, you know, having 536 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: played the game at such a high level. I think 537 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, against an opponent like that, you play with fire, 538 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: you know. Is it a little too full throttle? Again? 539 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: Is Gus Johnson going voice crack in the first quarter? Yeah? 540 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: I can get that, but I don't know. There's part 541 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: of me that I would rather have that passionate insight 542 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: than than not, to be honest with you, But again, 543 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: I've never really been a huge announcer guy or official guy. Okay, 544 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: let's give a pick here, Colts four and a half 545 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: point favorite, coming up forty four and a half the 546 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: over under. You know, make sure those game breakers do 547 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: not wreck it. And that would be Collins, I would 548 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: be Hunter, that'd be Anderson Junior. But ultimately I'm gonna 549 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: go Colts twenty sixteen. I'll go Colts. I know, a 550 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: low scoring game, maybe it's too low scoring there. I 551 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 1: just don't trust Houston's run defense, and I'll they've done 552 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: decent job against Henry and McCaffrey, but still I don't 553 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: fully trust it. I and I definitely don't trust their 554 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: offensive line. Now do I trust the colts pass rush. 555 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: That's a fair counter. I think I'd like to see 556 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: if few more resources contributed that from a blitzing standpoint, 557 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: and just again make Strout uncomfortable in his first game 558 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: in a month. But I'll say the cults get this 559 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: done here twenty sixteen, A sincere safe travels in a happy, 560 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: happy Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for and grateful 561 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: for this time of year. Hopefully you can relish in 562 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: that and spend some really quality time with family and friends, 563 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: and we will recap it all coming up on Monday. 564 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: Cults and Texans, Happy Thanksgiving, everybody, Thanks for listening.
