They 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: will be taking your calls and breaking it down. Late 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: after tonight's game between the San Francisco forty nine Ers 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: and the Indianapolis Colts, one of the true nice guys 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: in football, Bill Brooks, joining me, Bill, how are you 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas? 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas? 12 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 3: How are you doing? 13 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: I am doing well. 14 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm good, And you know I keep going back, Bill 15 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: between with this game tonight. There's a magic about Mondeynt football, 16 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: and you hear me mention it every time I talk 17 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: to you about the magic of that Broncos game, and 18 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: you know I always go back to that. It reawakens 19 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: the kid and me when you have moneynet football. But 20 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: this particular matchup tonight comes with great intrigue because I 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: can't figure out whether or not I feel like I'm 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: just going through the motions to finish off the season, 23 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: or whether or not I'm invigorated with the Colts having 24 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: still control of their own destiny, do they realistically Bill, 25 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: Are they realistically still a potential playoff run team? 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: Yes they are. I mean they still have a chance. 27 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: I mean you saw how they start off the season 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: of course seven and one. Definitely things have turned not 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: in their favor lately, losing on the last five or 30 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: six games. So yes, things have hit a rough pass 31 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 2: right now for the Coat, But they still have an opportunity, 32 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: and that's what you want. You want opportunity as a player. 33 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: You just want an opportunity to have a chance to 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: make a playoffs. And they still have a chance to 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: make a playoff, So they need to go out today 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: and play well. They're playing against a good, good football 37 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: team and they have to score forty nine ers because 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: they're playing to position themselves and in the playoff, playoff 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: run themselves. They are in the playoffs, so as they 40 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: position themselves, they're going to be playing hard and playing 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: playing in order to get a better position. So we'll 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: see what happens. But I think, you know, we're getting 43 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: some guys back like the Forrest Buckner. I know that 44 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: should help the team out quite a bit, and we'll 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: see what happens come Monday night, but it should be exciting. 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: As you talked about earlier, this is the only game 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: of being played in the National Football League tonight, So 48 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: to me as exciting as a player, it was always 49 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: exciting to play on Monday night because you knew everyone 50 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: was watching you, your high school friends, your college friends, 51 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: and your family is watching everyone play. So it should 52 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: be exciting, and I'm sure the city be excited for it. 53 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: And uh, it'll be nice to see everyone downtown and 54 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: being excited for a game. 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 4: Bill. 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier, Bill Brooks, my guest job a 57 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: house peeling, poor guest line. I know that the Colts 58 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: did not win in Seattle, but the reality is, I 59 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: think people expected that game to go a lot differently 60 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: than it did, even though it was not a win. 61 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: And we take aside the result. It's a results league. 62 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: I get it. 63 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Did Shane Steiken coach his best game of the year 64 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: in Seattle? 65 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to say, you know what game 66 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: is the best games they but I thought he did 67 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: a great job of what he what they did out 68 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: there in Seattle. Not only Shane's like him, but the 69 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: defense as well. Louana Remo what they did and how 70 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: they kind of slowed down that thel Seahawks offense and 71 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: held them to nothing but field goals. And when you 72 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: do that, you figure, hey, you know what, you have 73 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: a shot to win the football game. And then having 74 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 2: Philip Rivers back, there's someone that has the command of 75 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: the offense, understanding the offense. And you know, he didn't 76 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: have any turnovers. He don't want turnover. I had a 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 2: turnablevose late in the game, so that really didn't count 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: because he's trying to get the team back but pushing 79 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: the ball downfield. But I thought he did a nice 80 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: job of having command of the offense. Now from a 81 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: standpoint of production, yes, definitely more production from the offense. 82 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: So hopefully hopefully put some more points on the board 83 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: and the Coast can get over that hump of scoring 84 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: twenty points, you know what they're gonna That gives him 85 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: a better chance of course winning football games because of 86 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: all the games they have office score twenty points or less. 87 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: So both of the offense could must some more points 88 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: and see what happened. But I thought, uh, Shane Stycken, 89 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: the game plan that had in regards to you know what, 90 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: some clock move the ball downfield, hopefully score and get 91 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: some points. Was a good idea and it is a 92 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: good game plan to go in and get a Seattle 93 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: team that was pretty good. 94 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: Bill, Do you believe that Philip Rivers from what you saw? 95 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: And you know, look, you've you've taken passes from a 96 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: lot of different quarterbacks, and I know that Philip Rivers, 97 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean the age, the the time off, 98 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean, all of it comes into play. 99 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: Right. 100 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: Did you feel like or did you see indication that 101 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: with more practice time this week there might be a 102 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: deeper area of the playbook you can go with Philip 103 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: Rivers Or is the physical limitations such that we saw 104 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: what you have to work with. 105 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: Well, I think when you look at Philip Rivers, you 106 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: have to kind of take Phil Rivers as what he 107 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: was before. In regards to Philip never was one of 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: those guys that had an overly strong arm to get 109 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: the ball downfield. He could throw the ball, he could 110 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: get the ball downfield, he could put it in tight 111 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: windows and tight spots, and he can get you in 112 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: the right place when needed. But I think he can 113 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: get the ball downfield. But I think what's going to 114 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: also happen is he's going to have to get those 115 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: short passes work over in the middle, and it's going 116 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: to be up to the receivers to actually make some 117 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: yards after the catch. I mean, that's one way you 118 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: can get some exposal plays. You have to make sure 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: that you complete the passes and get the ball downfield. 120 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: So I think he can get the ball downfield some, 121 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: but it's not going to be, you know, throwing the 122 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: ball seventy yards down the field. That's not Philip Rivers 123 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: and I don't think that was ever his game. But 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: they're going to have to find ways to get more 125 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: exposal plays. How they do that, I'm not exactly sure 126 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: how they do that, but I would like to see 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: the receivers make some yards up as catch, and that's 128 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: one way and get some exposive plays. 129 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 4: Bill. 130 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: I want to hypothetically here. Okay, Santa arrives at the 131 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Brooks house early today, so he comes down the chimney 132 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: this afternoon and you're startled. It goes without saying, right, 133 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: guy coming down the chimney, but Santa says to you, Bill, 134 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: you've been a good boy, and so I'm going to 135 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: deliver for you, Bill Brooks. I have the ability to 136 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: deliver one thing, and I want it to be Santa's 137 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: a Colts fan. So he says, Bill, I have the 138 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: ability right now to pick one area of this team 139 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: that is most confusing to Bill Brooks or most concerning 140 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: to Bill Brooks, and I Santa, I'm going to immediately 141 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: bolster that. And you can't say health from a schematic 142 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: or just an area of weakness of this team this year. 143 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: What is the one thing that Bill Brooks would want 144 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: Santa to take care of that would be a difference 145 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: maker for the Colts in these last three games. 146 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a that's a good question. I can I 147 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: can't say, Hell Tom. 148 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if we could just get a Daniel 149 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Jones back, because he was playing it a people forget. 150 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I know that he was starting to revert a little bit, 151 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: but he played at a very high level at the 152 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. 153 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 4: Obviously exactly he did. 154 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: I would say, more pressure in a quarterback and crucial situations. 155 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: I would like to see a little bit more pressure 156 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: from the front four, not even if the fund four, 157 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: but any anybody, if the's linebacker or whoever it may be, 158 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: if they want to send corners, can even more off 159 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: the slide or whatever. This legacy a little bit more 160 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: pressure on a quarterback, especially in a crucial situation, especially 161 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: when it gets down late in the game and they 162 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: need need a sack or need to force the quarterback 163 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: to make an errand throw something of that nature. That 164 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: that would be my choice if I had an opportunity 165 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: to ask Sannah for a birthday or there's a birthday 166 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: Christmas gift. 167 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: Okay, can you get Because the Colts have tried bill 168 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: a million different let me let me put it to 169 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: this way. You are a receiver, Okay. As a receiver, 170 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: you know the Colts have tried to get pass rush forever, 171 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: and DeForest Muckner is an elite level player, and Leatu 172 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Latu has his moments? Could he pay? I think is 173 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: just a guy. I don't dislike him, but he's just 174 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: a guy. Right When you have now the process of 175 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: getting Mooney Ward and getting Sauce Gardner and imagining those 176 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: two as healthy corners there, How, when you are a receiver, 177 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, how long do you go into a play 178 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: and a set where you're continuing to try to work 179 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: yourself open before then a coverage sack becomes availability and 180 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: becomes available because everything collapses. In other words, if the 181 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: Colts can't get pass rush, can the corners take care 182 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: of that for them, where then eventually it collapses for 183 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: the defense anyway, Yes. 184 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 2: Definitely, you definitely can get that. I mean it can 185 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: happen if the corners are playing tight coverage and makes 186 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: it very difficult from the quarterback to feel comfortable and 187 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: throwing the ball to the receiver. And if they continue 188 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: to you know, hold the ball, hold the ball, hold 189 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: the ball, then yes, the pass rush can get there. 190 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 2: But a lot of times what happens is if the 191 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: if the receiver is open or don't have much pressure, 192 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 2: and the quarterback can hold the ball and feel comfortable 193 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: back there and then throw the ball to the receiver. 194 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: The receivers wide open, so it kind of works hand 195 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: in hand. You know, you got you got guys in 196 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: the back in there they play tight coverage, then it 197 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: gives the guys the front opportunity to get to the quarterback. 198 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: But then also sometimes if the guys in front get 199 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: there quick enough, it rushes the quarterback and the quarterback 200 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: has to throw the ball before the receiver is actually 201 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: into his route or at the top of the vout 202 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 2: or breaking out of his route and it goes incomplete, 203 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: or it might be an interception. 204 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: Who is the toughest corner you faced? 205 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: Ooh, there was. There was a number of guys that 206 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 2: were tough. Mike Haynes, who at the time was playing 207 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: for the Raiders. Uh, one guy that was I would 208 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: say my toughest want to go against you had? Let 209 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: me see you had Mini Field and Dixon, Uh, Private 210 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: dog Pounds or Cleveland Browns. Those are some of the 211 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: toughest guys that I say I faced. 212 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: As a receiver, Bill Bill Brooks, my guest Joba House 213 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: peeling for guest line as a as a receiver, was 214 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: a corner tougher for you of one that's playing man 215 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: on the line right away and is with you lock 216 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: and stock. Or was it tougher to go against the 217 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: guy that you thought you had space from but had 218 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: such collapse time that they then got in and disrupted 219 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: at the very end of the play as the ball 220 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: was being delivered. And that might be the dumbest question 221 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: I've ever asked, But does that make sense what I'm asking? 222 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. For me. I didn't like people. 223 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: I didn't like people up in my face or close 224 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 2: to me, so to speak, at the line of scrimmage, 225 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: because I like to get in my route as soon 226 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: as possible. But then they're impeding me for me to 227 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 2: get into my route by you know, playing bumping and 228 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: run and getting the hands on me and guys that 229 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: had long arms such as Mike Canes and another guy 230 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: that I didn't mention earlier was Albert Lewis, another defensive 231 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: back that had long arms, that could run and does 232 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: a good job at the line of scrimmage of impeding 233 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: your progress up the field. So those guys made it 234 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: more difficult for me to get into my route, which 235 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: made it harder for me to complete my route and 236 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: create some separation and create some space. So for me, 237 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: it was the guys that were up in my face 238 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: that gave me more problems. 239 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: We have very limited body of work to see as 240 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: a cult but from what you've been able to see, 241 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: when he is healthy and when we see him long term, 242 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: here Sauce Gardner is what kind of owner. 243 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: Oh, he's one of the top coins in the national 244 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: football which he's long, he can run, good feet, change 245 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 2: in the direction.

Not that me, but 250 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: you're talking about the corners that I have that gives 251 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: me trouble. He would give me a lot of trouble. 252 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: Okay, So he's not that. 253 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: I'm not that I'm an all pro or was a 254 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: pro whatever, but he's one of those guys that can 255 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: give why I receive the spits. 256 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: So he is a flank you from even pre snap 257 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: and never let you out of sight guy right as 258 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: opposed to a You think there's a window there, and 259 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: yet he closes that window instantly. He's more the first 260 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: guy right physical from the get go. 261 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: He can do both. 262 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 4: He can do both. 263 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 2: He can play off and break on the ball very well. 264 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: And he can also get in your face and you know, 265 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 2: run with you and not really hit you, but stay 266 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: with you.

What would be the question mark, 344 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: if you will, that still hangs for him? 345 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 5: Well, I think more than anything right now, they're still 346 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: trying to figure out the rebounding area, which has been 347 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 5: a trouble spot throughout the season in some respect, not 348 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 5: dramatically in Indiana's won their share of games that rebounding 349 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 5: with or better than the team that they're playing against. 350 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 5: But again, competition has something to do with that. But 351 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 5: I think the biggest concern that he has right now 352 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 5: is his ball club's ability to rebound the ball at 353 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 5: both ends of the floor, but specifically the offensive end 354 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 5: a little bit more so because they just haven't gotten 355 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 5: a lot of offensive rebounds throughout the year. And one 356 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 5: of the reasons they haven't they're an undersized basketball team 357 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 5: compared to a lot of these teams that they are 358 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 5: about to place face, especially in the Big Ten, and 359 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 5: so I know that that's one area that they're working on, 360 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 5: but they're working on a little bit of everything at 361 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 5: this juncture. This is a team still that's not one 362 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 5: hundred percent in the norm of having been around for 363 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 5: a long time, having all that kind of experience together 364 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 5: and so on. So which is a case for a 365 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 5: lot of teams these days, as we know, with the 366 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 5: rosters changing hands with nil and all those kinds of things. 367 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 5: But I think rebounding is the biggest area of concern 368 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 5: right now. And you know, when Sam Alexis went down 369 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 5: to that Kentucky game a little over a week ago, 370 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 5: there was a real holding of the breath by the 371 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 5: entire program because Sam, of course is an undersized post player, 372 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 5: but he's six', eight he's, athletic and he's one of 373 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 5: the two guys they count on in that post position 374 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: and Read bailey being the other and read out a 375 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 5: really good game Against sienna the other. Night but the 376 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 5: thing about it is they just don't have much depth. 377 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 5: There and if A lexus had gone down with a 378 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 5: serious knee, injury which could have, happened he got lucky 379 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 5: in the sense that it looked like there was going 380 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 5: to be AN acl tear there if it hadn't happened 381 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 5: the way it, did which was a turned ankle, first 382 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 5: and that apparently saved IS. Acl that's WHAT i was, 383 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 5: told so ALL i can tell you is they are light. 384 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 5: There they're definitely needing more, depth and that's hard to come. 385 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 5: By when you don't you can't change your. Roster, now 386 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 5: if you know WHAT i. 387 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 4: Mean sure. 388 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: Done i'll tell you what's to me comes intriguing is you, 389 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: know with the size of The Big ten now, RIGHT i, 390 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: mean with the fact of the number of different teams 391 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: that you, have theoretically you're going to see stylistically a 392 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: number of different ways that you've got to play within the. 393 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: CONFERENCE i, mean you have teams that want to play 394 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: in different. Fashion two ways to look at. That one 395 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: is to, say we have a, style this is how we, 396 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: play and we're going to push in on. That the 397 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: other is to develop a system where you can have 398 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: some versatility and kind of change the way that you. 399 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: Play which way do you see this particular team is 400 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: devrezemore of The Bob knight mold of this is how 401 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: we play and that's. It or do they have some 402 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: flexibility on different styles they can. 403 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 5: PLAY i don't think they've got a lot of flexibility 404 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 5: with this. TEAM i just. DON'T i think the talent 405 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 5: is good enough to be very competitive in The big. 406 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 5: TEN i don't think that they have the talent to 407 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 5: be a ball club that plays all half. Court in other, 408 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 5: words they like to get out and. Run they are 409 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 5: a transition. Team they try to get off a three 410 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 5: point shot in the first ten to twelve seconds of 411 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 5: the shot clock before they set up in a half court, 412 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 5: game and that's the modus operendi of their team most 413 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 5: of the. Time but they've had to play a lot 414 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 5: of half court this, year especially against some of these 415 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 5: better teams that they've, played and if they can speed 416 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 5: teams up and make them play the way they want, 417 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 5: to THEN i think they can be very. Successful it's 418 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 5: hard to do that, sometimes, however with some of the 419 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 5: teams that you play in this. League and you know 420 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 5: that a lot of these ball clubs like to play 421 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 5: the half court game first and not rely on a 422 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 5: three point shot all the. Time and that's What indiana. 423 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 5: Does they do rely on three point shooting a great. 424 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 5: Deal that's how this roster was. Constructed Darren debrees wanted 425 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 5: to get as many good three point shooters as he 426 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 5: could on this, team and he's gotten three of. Them. 427 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 5: Obviously his Son tucker's very. Good Lamar wilkerson has a 428 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 5: proven a three point, guy And Nick dorn has come 429 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 5: off the bench now the last several ball games is 430 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: really shot well from the three point line once he 431 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 5: got back from. Injury SO i just don't see a 432 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 5: lot of ability to change the way they want to. 433 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 5: Play and if you looked at the game Against Chicago 434 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 5: state On, Saturday indiana shot lights out fourteen to twenty 435 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 5: six in the first half of the three point. Line 436 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 5: that was in the first twenty. Minutes in the second, 437 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 5: half they couldn't. 438 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: Throw it in the. 439 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 5: Ocean they were one of twenty from the three point. 440 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 5: Line and then they relied on their bigs because the 441 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 5: team that they went up, Against Chicago, state didn't have 442 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 5: a great deal of strength in the front. Line so 443 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 5: they were able to succumb or to Make Chicago states 444 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 5: to come to their wishes in that contest Because Chicago 445 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 5: state just didn't have any size. 446 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: Themselves Don fisher is my guest voice of The Indiana, 447 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: hoosiers both on the basketball and football side of.

Bear 507 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 5: they hadn't had the long spell off Like indiana's having 508 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 5: right now to get ready for the ball, game and 509 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 5: they played each other. BEFORE i was just kind of 510 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 5: surprised by the number of mistakes that both those teams 511 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 5: made in that. Contest BUT i was rooting That alabama 512 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 5: would win BECAUSE i felt like that's the opponent THAT 513 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 5: i want TO i want to see our football team play. 514 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 5: Against they are the icon of THE. Sec everyone knows 515 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: they've struggled a little bit here in the last couple of. 516 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 5: YEARS i Think caylen De, boor who's their, coach is 517 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 5: a guy WHO i revere as a guy that came 518 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 5: To indiana for the twenty twenty season as the offensive. 519 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 5: Coordinator he got ruined BY, covid but it didn't Ruin 520 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 5: indiana season because they went six and through that, year 521 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 5: and it was Because caitlin De boer was such a 522 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 5: good innovator from an offensive, standpoint and of course he 523 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: had control Of Michael, pennix who went with him To 524 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 5: washington later, on and obviously they went to The National championship. 525 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 5: Game SO i just have a lot of respect For 526 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 5: calen De. BOER i Love Kane, wamick who's their defensive. 527 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 5: Coordinator he was also here in that twenty twenty year 528 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 5: With Tom allen and was great at devising the defenses 529 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 5: For indiana in that. Period so there are a lot of. 530 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 5: Impact Nick, SHERIDAN i, think also is another guy that's 531 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 5: went the program down there FROM. Iu he was a 532 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 5: quarterbacks coach at the same. Time so this is a 533 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 5: staff that we know from a personal, standpoint AND i 534 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 5: just wanted to Play. Alabama there are a number of, 535 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 5: reasons but not the least of which is the fact 536 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 5: THAT i just want to see If indiana can knock 537 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 5: them off and then Have paul feinebomb shut. 538 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: Up we'll do whatever it takes for the ladder, there, Right, 539 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: yeah don you mentioned. Something it's it's funny because. Tonight 540 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: Philip rivers for, example you, know quarterback and The colts 541 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: and coming back To, indianapolis and yet it's not like 542 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: we really got to know. Him And i'm using air quotes, there, 543 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: well because he was here during THAT covid season and 544 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: everything was just so weird, then, right in terms of 545 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: contact and how much you could be around people and 546 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: zoom calls and everything. Else the coaches of which you, 547 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: mentioned did you get a chance to know them much 548 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: or did all of those factors kind of come in 549 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: where you were aware of them but you didn't get 550 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: a lot of interaction with. 551 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 5: Them, well we had decent interaction with them, because let's face, 552 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 5: it there were no crowds to worry. About there were 553 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 5: nobody was coming to games except for. Parents we had 554 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: a chance to get out to watch practices and things 555 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 5: like that because everything was so shut down at the 556 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 5: time and you were looking for ways to get outside 557 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 5: and do. Things and so we did have a chance 558 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 5: to Watch indiana football a little bit closer maybe than 559 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 5: we would, otherwise and get to know some of these 560 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 5: guys a little bit better in a very short period of. Time, so, 561 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 5: yeah those guys were really good. PEOPLE i like. Them a. 562 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 5: LOT i think they've taken over This alabama program and 563 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 5: struggled just a, hair but it's Still, alabama as everybody. 564 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 5: Knows AND i just look forward to seeing these guys 565 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 5: and shaking their hand and congratulating them on making the, 566 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 5: playoffs just Like indiana. 567 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: Has do you have concerned on or intrigue maybe is 568 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: the better word about the layoff from An indiana, Standpoint 569 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: not because Of, indiana but if you, look you know 570 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: by president a year, ago what happened to the teams 571 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: that had time? Off it did not go well in 572 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: the college football. Playoff how do you Think indiana handles that? 573 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 5: Well the REASON i think they can handle it is 574 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 5: because their coach Is Kurt. Signetti he just doesn't let 575 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 5: things go by the, wayside OR i, mean their practices 576 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 5: have been light at this point in time of, year 577 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 5: so he's given these guys a lot of time to 578 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 5: get healed, up to get the bumps and bruises and 579 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 5: scrapes and all those kinds of things healed. Over but 580 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 5: at the same, time he works his team and when 581 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 5: they get out, there they may not go, long but 582 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 5: they go hard when they get on the football. Field 583 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 5: AND i just HAVE. A i know he knows how 584 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 5: to handle this to some, degree Although i'm not sure 585 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 5: anybody's ever had a three and a half week layoff 586 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 5: before their first game after finishing out a regular, Season 587 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 5: so from that perspective it is. Different it concerns, EVERYBODY 588 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 5: i think a little, bit but of all the people 589 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 5: THAT i think can handle, IT i Think kurtzing that 590 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 5: he can don For. 591 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: Christmas aside from An indiana win Over, Alabama i'm going 592 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: to Ask santa to give me an ability to pitch 593 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: and chip from forty yards in ONCE i get to 594 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: the cup in golf That consanta deliver that kind of a. 595 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 5: Miracle UNFORTUNATELY i doubt, it and if he, could that 596 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 5: would be the first THING i would ask, for even 597 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 5: over a win Over.

Goal and then 668 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 3: two plays That Sam dartle made that if you stop 669 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 3: either one have been, bounds you probably win the. Game 670 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 3: SO i thought considering, Everything, yes it was his best, 671 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 3: game but there's got to be. More it's just you. 672 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 3: Can't and they know. That they you, know that was 673 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 3: so specific to, well he's been here three days and 674 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: you know he hasn't played for five. Years they really 675 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 3: had to have a dumbed down game. Plan they just. 676 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 3: Did and but having said, that it's got to be 677 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 3: there's got to be. More he averaged four point four 678 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: yards and an attempt like six yards of, completion and 679 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 3: all that does when you've got to run the ball 680 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: With Jonathan, taylor all that does is make it harder 681 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 3: to run the ball With john jon And. Taylor so 682 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 3: you've got you've got you, Know Alex, pears who leads 683 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,719 Speaker 3: the league in yards for. Catch you've got to stretch 684 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 3: the field some at least at least pose the, threat 685 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 3: WHICH i think they. Will but they're still Gonna they 686 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 3: ran more than they threw last week by a. FEW 687 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 3: i think they still run more this. Week they have. 688 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: To but and this is A niners, defense that's that's 689 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 3: gettable that they're they're not strong against the. Run and 690 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 3: again the pass rush should be not super bad with 691 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 3: perhaps you know not not perhaps the two backup. Tackles but, 692 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 3: yes and and and we've talked To shane enough to 693 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 3: know that there has to be. MORE i Think rivers 694 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: will be. More you, know this was a normal week 695 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 3: For Philip rivers to where you come, in you get 696 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: all these days for. Pared last week was not. Normal 697 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 3: r he comes, in he's. Cramming so, yes there there 698 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 3: needs to be, more AND i think there there will be. 699 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: More did you see did you See Ann rivers chap 700 00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: more that could be? 701 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 4: There in other, words did you know WHAT i? 702 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: Mean, LIKE i understand that they had to kind of 703 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: simple it down because of exactly, that, right you're just 704 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: throwing it out. There but but now that he's had that, 705 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: week and now that maybe they can ent you, know 706 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: look at more, film go over some. Differ do you 707 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: feel that from a physical standpoint or a skill set 708 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: standpoint in twenty twenty five that there is more there 709 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: that can tap into With Philip? 710 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 3: Rivers? Boy and if it's a yes or, No i'd say. 711 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 3: NO i mean it's the same. Guy it's the same 712 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 3: forty four year old Arm maybe he recognizes things, quicker 713 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: but as far as getting the ball from POINT a 714 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 3: to POINT b quicker with more. VELOCITY i think getting it, 715 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 3: there quicker would be recognizing the. Play, QUICKER i don't 716 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 3: think all of a sudden he's going to start throwing 717 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 3: lasers all over the. Field AND i just, that's first 718 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 3: of that's not who he was when he, played you, 719 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 3: know at the right. Age so that that but that's 720 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 3: a that's a great. Question and you can devise all 721 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: the game plans you, want and if the quarterback can't carry, 722 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 3: that can't make the. Throw if you, can't you can 723 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 3: block it up to where you've got time to get 724 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 3: the ball sixty yards fifty yards downfield the. Piers but 725 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 3: the quarterback back can't do, it then what are you? 726 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 3: Doing that's a really good. Point we'll find. OUT i 727 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 3: think that whether he can or, not they're going to. 728 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 3: Try they need to. Try but that's we're going to 729 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 3: see one another. Week and, again maybe part of it 730 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 3: with the throwing is that his legs weren't under him 731 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 3: as they shouldn't have been as far you, know the 732 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 3: quarterbacks need their legs to throw off of and really 733 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 3: push off. Of and maybe he's a lot better this, 734 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: week but they simply have To they've got to do 735 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 3: more than they did him throwing for one hundred and 736 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 3: twenty yards isn't going to cut. It it's NOT jt 737 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: averaging six three point six might be okay running the 738 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 3: ball if you're getting overrom the past, game that'll be 739 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: a really interesting thing to Watch. Sniders one one will 740 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 3: they try? It and? Two Can rivers do it? 741 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: Well AND i, thought you, know obviously they went with 742 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: a Mere abdullah out of the backfield with the passing, 743 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: game which IS i would assume that part of that 744 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: was just to Allow rivers kind of the comfort, level 745 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: the familiarity with the. 746 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 4: Layups do we? Continue do you believe to See abdullah 747 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 4: at that? 748 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 3: LEVEL i think, so because, again you, know IF jt 749 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,320 Speaker 3: runs about twenty five, times you, know AND i realized 750 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 3: he's he prepares for this and all, this but at 751 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 3: some point you do need to give him a. Breather 752 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 3: And abdullah is a better receiver out of the. Backuld 753 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 3: he simply. 754 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,279 Speaker 4: Is and that's. 755 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: It And rivers has always had a guy like, that, 756 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: Right he's always had a bailout out of backfield, Guy Darren. 757 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: SPROLES i, mean, goodness. Crations how many times did he 758 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 3: Tormented colts With? Rivers so, yeah no question. Again if 759 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 3: there's thirty rushes again this, week twenty five need to BE. 760 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 3: Jt but Get abdulla involved the past game and hit 761 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 3: those underneath crossers and then you, know but you gotta 762 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 3: get eybody more. Involved Tyler warren has disappeared in the 763 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 3: last three or four, games and that's not a reflection on. 764 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 3: Him it's a reflection on the rest of or how 765 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 3: the quarterback play has has declined with the injuries To 766 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 3: jones and Then rivers coming. In they've got to get 767 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 3: back to the players who carry, them who have carried, 768 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 3: them which IS jt And Tyler warren for the most. 769 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 3: Part hopefully they. Can they can scratch into that tonight 770 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 3: because they're Gonna you. Can't you can't win, sixteen, eighteen, 771 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 3: nineteen but they're one six this. Year when they don't 772 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 3: when they score twenty or, fewer and they've lost. IT 773 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 3: i THINK i looked it. Up they've lost eleven straight 774 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 3: and twenty four twenty seven when they don't score more than. 775 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 3: Twenty so in TODAY'S, nfl And i'm telling you that 776 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 3: The niners are going to score twenty. Points they just. 777 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 3: Are so you got to score and hopefully they. Can 778 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 3: they can get the quarterback first in the position to do, 779 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 3: that and then he's able to execute the game. 780 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: Plan Chap here's a question That Mike chapel's my GUEST 781 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: cbs FOUR wxa On fox fifty nine where you see. 782 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: Him he's on The Java house peeling poor guest.

Good they're probably maybe a 864 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 3: year ahead of schedule on maybe where people thought they 865 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 3: might be with. Everything but you don't win that many 866 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 3: games and put yourself in that position to win the 867 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 3: division just by, luck by falling into. It so, yeah 868 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 3: they're pretty. GOOD i still Like buffalo because of the. 869 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 3: QUARTERBACK i just.

Times the player THAT i was convinced 882 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: was A Peyton manning era apparent Is Trevor lawrence when 883 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: he came. 884 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 4: OUT i watched him every snap in. 885 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 1: College the, size the, poise the ball, placement all of it, 886 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: Right AND i know that you, know you have the 887 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 1: Erbin meyer experiment and all, that and there's been a 888 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 1: lot of more bumps than road at. All The LATIN 889 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: i don't knock on. WOOD i guess for The colts 890 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 1: fans is a bad. Thing the last five, weeks no 891 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: one is talking about the fact that it seems to 892 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: have come together For Trevor lawrence and he is playing 893 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: at a very high. Level and don't look, NOW i 894 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody mentioned, this But jacksonville now has taken 895 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: over THE Afc south and very quietly and off radar 896 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: is you, know they're firmly in control and maybe even 897 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: to put themselves in placement for THE. Afc but my 898 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: question for, You Mike, chappel is this is this a 899 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: mirage or Has jacksonville finally gone through? 900 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 3: Puberty i've been through. This how many times have we 901 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 3: have we Been? Jacksonville, yes right, By and it's a. 902 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 3: Fact it's, like, oh you know back in six years. Ago, 903 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,879 Speaker 3: no it's been like three or four times where you, think, 904 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 3: man they finally got it. Together and even With Trevor, 905 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 3: lawrence you, think, man this is who everyone thought he would. 906 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,799 Speaker 3: Be you, know he's past The Urban meyer. Nightmare and but, 907 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 3: no you're right right. NOW i, mean there's probably good 908 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 3: as bad as anybody for the number one. SEED i 909 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 3: Just i've just been burned too many times by The, 910 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 3: jaguars and having said, that they they're probably a play 911 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 3: as well as. Anybody it's just that nobody outside of 912 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 3: jag outside Of New, ball wants to believe in, them 913 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 3: and they've given you too many reasons to not believe in. 914 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 3: Them and all they're going to do is say we don't, 915 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 3: care and they're taking care of business. Again The colts 916 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 3: had a firm grip on the division until the second 917 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 3: half of the, season and right now The jaggs are 918 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 3: taking care of their second half of the. Season so, 919 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 3: YEAH i won't be surprised if they're the number one. 920 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 3: SEED i won't be surprised if they slip and they're 921 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,399 Speaker 3: playing in the last week of the season to win 922 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 3: the division because, something you, know they mucked something up. 923 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: And that MUCKs up that up could be. That who, 924 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: knows can The, colts you, know do The colts get? 925 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: THEM i, mean it's going to be a must win 926 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: chap one in with, this you, KNOW i, mean you 927 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: AND i have talked about this a thousand.

Cetera and the year has gone south on 938 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: them a little.

MATCHUP a because this is a 942 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,240 Speaker 1: city that has built itself up from AN nfl, standpoint 943 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 1: and we have seen the mountaintop so many times that 944 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: now it's old hat or b because of the THINGS 945 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 1: i just mentioned of viewership is just different than it 946 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: used to. Be or See, jake you're out of your. 947 00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: Mind it's just as big a deal as it was 948 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 1: in eighty. 949 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 3: SEVEN i think it's IT'S i think it's nearly as 950 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 3: big of a deal because, again you're, You're, You're you're 951 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 3: the only game. ON i realized you can say that 952 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,439 Speaker 3: About thursday, night but that's totally. Different, NO i still 953 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 3: think there's that BUZZ i, do. Uh and part of 954 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 3: that is Why i'm ingrained is all the times that 955 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 3: The colts were On Monday night during that great two. 956 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 3: Thousand it's a couple of times a year and great 957 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 3: games and special. Games you, know they've but they've they've. 958 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 3: LOST i think they've lost four or five in a 959 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 3: row On Monday, night and some of them haven't been very. 960 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 3: Attractive but, still and this is WHERE i think you 961 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 3: AND i, agree but a lot of the fan base may, 962 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 3: not is is the value that the community value of 963 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 3: Having Monday night with all the cut, up you, know 964 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 3: the lead ins and breakouts of the, broadcast with with 965 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: with sites From. Indianapolis The chamber Of commerce can't pay 966 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 3: for that kind of advertisement in, Visibility SO i think it's. 967 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 3: COOL i still think it's a big. DEAL i think 968 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 3: it's still as, big maybe not as big of a, 969 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 3: deal but but but nothing is as big as it 970 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 3: used to, be just because there's so much. MORE i 971 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 3: think if you go back and look at viewership and 972 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 3: all That Monday night still near the. TOP i do 973 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,240 Speaker 3: sometimes it. Doesn't most of the, times it doesn't matter 974 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 3: who's playing unless you got two really really crappy teams 975 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 3: and then maybe people watch something. Else BUT i think 976 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 3: it's a big. Deal i've always enjoyed it back at 977 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 3: The paper when we actually had serious. DEADLINES i, mean 978 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 3: you had to have your story done at a certain. 979 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 3: Time monday night games where a painter are. In The 980 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 3: tampa game was horrific in one regard because it went so, 981 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 3: long but it made you really work your tail, off 982 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 3: and all of us at the start put out a 983 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 3: great product the next day in a historic. GAME i 984 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,800 Speaker 3: still think it's got that buzz to. It AND i 985 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 3: hope again We're i'm not involved with The. Coles we cover, 986 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: them but we're not. INVOLVED i hope they play well 987 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 3: and find a way to, win just because it would 988 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 3: do something for the. Franchise it's right now stuck in 989 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 3: a bad way for a lot of.
