1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: It is not the Devil down in Georgia, but the Fever.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Are they take on the Atlanta Dream tonight. Eddie Garrison

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: will have the pregame on this radio station. That begins

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Eddie at seven fifteen. It is correct the quarter after

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: seven thirty, and then the re quarters becomes. When you

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: are doing the postgame show, will you be talking about

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: a continuation of the Fever season or will we begin

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: recapping the season because it is tonight a win? Or

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: come back home and then stay there for the Indiana

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Fever best of three and it is game three down

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Tony East joining us now to talk about that. Tony,

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: I'll begin with this. What was different other than the

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: fact the obvious, which was the score, But what did

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the Fever do in game number two where they really

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: controlled the vast majority of that game that had eluded

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: them in game number one.

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a simple thing, but still very significant.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: It was their point of attack defense right. Kelsey Mitchell

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: after Game one said that that was one of the

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: biggest thing she felt like was an issue. The Dream

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: players were getting wherever they wanted, able to set up

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: whatever action they wanted into the pain and while the

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Fever defense was okay in game one, they couldn't stop enough.

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: As my cat yells at me as you, I'm sure

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: you'll love to hear that.

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: What's the name of the kiddy.

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: This is Winston. He is now eight months old. So

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: in game two they were just way better doing that right.

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: Alicia Gray couldn't get into the lane. She was four

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: for nineteen or something. Jordan Canada struggled, Ryan Howard struggled,

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: they were missing free throws. Everything was going wrong for Atlanta.

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: That was huge. That changed their whole fortune defensively in

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: the game. And for a team that's supposed to be

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: so good at shooting, the Dream couldn't make anything. And

35
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: so you know carl s Mesko, Atlanta's head coach, after

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: the game. So yeah, their defense was way more aggressia.

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: We did not respond well to that, and I thought

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: that was the story of the difference of the game

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: and why the Fever were so much better.

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: I would like to know, by the way, musician World

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: World Leader, former Anderson Indiana guard cigarettes, I'd like to

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: know Winston's name for who.

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: I think my wife just thought it was cute if

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: we had to actually like pick a person. It's the

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: character from New Girl. I don't know if you ever

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: watched that show.

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I've not seen that. I kind of liked the cigarettes.

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: I like the thought of the cat smoking cigarettes because

49
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: it's Winston.

50
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: I don't call him Winston. I just call him Squeeze.

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: So that was pretty easy to follow. Yea, I was

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: very high pitched, fair enough.

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: All right? You know, I thought it was tony when

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: I looked at If you were to just look at

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: the box score, you would say to yourself, Okay, the

56
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Fever shot the ball better in game two than they

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: did game one.

58
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: What's happened much better?

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: Yep?

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so did they The question is that sometimes shooters

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: just need to get in rhythm, and then other times

62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: they they do things differently to set up shots to

63
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: get themselves better looks, and they come up with wrinkles

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: to get better looks. Was it just simply a matter

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: of there just wasn't touch in game one or did

66
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: they make wrinkles in the way that they were distributing

67
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: to get open looks?

68
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Some of both. I mean game one was their worst

69
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: shooting performance of the whole season, right like that is

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 2: clearly anomaly. Levels of bad not that Atlanta's defense isn't good,

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: but they made two threes the all game, Right, they

72
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: were dreadful with the jumpers that night, and that was it.

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: And so yes, they were generating better looks in game two,

74
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: and some of that is all season they've told us

75
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: in media sessions, and they've been right to do so.

76
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Our defense leads to our offense. If our defense is good,

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: will score better. When their defense was good in game two,

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: they turned that into you know, a ton of transition chances,

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: open threes, quick in the shot clock. Whatever that was.

80
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: So I think it was two things from these games

81
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: to games. And this is what the dream Will kind

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: of hang their hat on, honestly, is that they shot

83
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: so bad in game one that they were naturally going

84
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: to be a little better in game two. But they

85
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: focused so much on better defense and it led to

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: better offense for them. Like Kelsey Mitchell made as many

87
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: threes in just the first quarter of Game two that

88
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: the whole Fever team did in game one. Right, that

89
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: was such a big shift in their fortunes. And I

90
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: think they did a good job of actually working the

91
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: ball around to get those shots. That Lexi Hall three

92
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: was perfection to close the third quarter, but it came

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: in part because of his natural statistical progression and better defense.

94
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I thought, Tony, when you look at the situation, the

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: fever or and Tony East is our guest, and when

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: you look over the course of the season, they have

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: been so decimated by injury, and I think there was

98
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: a lot of thought from people of you know, whether

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: or not they would even get into the play You

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: know here they are right. I mean, there was certainly

101
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: that there was doubt. They kind of backpedaled their way

102
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: into the playoffs itself. But have you been impressed by

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the their ability to kind of plug in different playslayers

104
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: and still maintain at the level they have or does

105
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: that strictly speak to the fact that this is a

106
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: league that does not have the number of teams that

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the NBA does, and thus you have plenty of available

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: free agent players that are indeed capable starters right from

109
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the get go. Is it credit Indiana the way they

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: went about doing it, or is it credit just to

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: the league itself that there is that level of talent

112
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: that's out there.

113
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: I think it's some of both, because, yeah, on one hand,

114
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: it's very easy to say, you know, they get Chloe

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Bibby and Aerry McDonald midseason and they're both great, and Joe, well,

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: look at that. The league's too small. They're expanding, and

117
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: these expansion teams will be good, and there's a lot

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: of good free agents. Like Golden State just made the

119
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: playoffs as an expansion team, right Like that does show

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: what is possible with just players who are not on rosters.

121
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: So in some ways it is a talent, but it's

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: not just that because both of those players were on

123
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: different teams this season. Right Donald was in LA for

124
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 2: training camp, Chloe Bibby was on the Valkyries earlier this season,

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Odyssey Sims was on the Sparks earlier this season, Aeriel

126
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: Powers on Golden State this season. Like all their players

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: that they've had on hardship deals, we're on different teams

128
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: at a different point in the season pre Haul two

129
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: and all of them, basically all of them, I would say,

130
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: are playing better for the Fever than their first team

131
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: for whatever reason that is volume, situation, comfortability, whatever, And

132
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: I think that is a testament to what their coaching

133
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: staff and style is able to do. Is they're able

134
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: to get players up to speed very quickly, now. Honestly,

135
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: some of that is that they've had a ton of

136
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: reps doing it right. They're so used to it now

137
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: on what that process should look like, how they get

138
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: the player of the playbook, keep a simple and all that.

139
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: But I think they have done better than other teams,

140
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: even as we've seen with players that they've had this year,

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: at getting those players up the speed and making them

142
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: look effective and helpful. Like they're playing four players right

143
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: now who weren't even on their team to start, three

144
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: or four players weren't another team to start the season,

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: real playoff rotation minutes, and none of them are bad.

146
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: They're certainly all being helpful in some way. So I

147
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: think that's been a huge part of their seasons. Their

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: ability to do that. It says a lot about like

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: the build that they've had, because last year, when players

150
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: came in and out, or even before last year, they

151
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: were just totally dead on arrival. So that is a

152
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: big part of our franchise growth.

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Have you been I'll use the term surprised for lack

154
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: of a better word, but what is I guess the

155
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: better way of saying it. Your assessment been of the

156
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: fact that I personally thought Tony, and feel free to

157
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: tell me that this is my own ignorance. When she

158
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: first entered the league, I was under the assumption or

159
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: just expectation, that Aliah Boston was going to be an

160
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: offensive centerpiece and that plays and offense were going to

161
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: run through her because she had been such a dominant

162
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: college player. But perhaps I was naive to just the

163
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: style of play in the W and kind of the

164
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: open style that it works with. Have you been surprised

165
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: at all that she has not been a look the

166
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: ball has to go through her on every repossession level

167
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: offensive player.

168
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really interesting. Two things. One is out of college.

169
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: I think actually her biggest selling point as a prospect

170
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: was her defense. She was like probably the best defensive

171
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: player in the country for last year at South Carolina,

172
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: and obviously was a good offensive player too, But the

173
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: fact that she was a two way player made her

174
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: show so valuable and such an obvious number one pick.

175
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: But I think what you're asking has honestly been like

176
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: a big story of the season Steppian White all the

177
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: time when they were going in and out of point

178
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: guard and everybody's hurt, they don't know what to do.

179
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: Is like we got to play through Lea Moore. We've

180
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: got to figure out how to do that. And so

181
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: some of it is, like I think, execution, Like they

182
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: want to use her as a fulcrum at the top

183
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: of the key or at the threat at the elbow

184
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: more often, and for some reason, whether that's because they've

185
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: had a turnstyle of point guards, whether that's just poor execution,

186
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: whether that's something else hasn't happened. Maybe that's on a

187
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: liah for not demanding the ball more. I would not

188
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: call that her personality or anything like that, So perhaps

189
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: that's a part of it, But yeah, I think they

190
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: do need to do that more. She is, you know,

191
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: outside of Kelsey Mitchell, their most potent offensive player certainly,

192
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: and is really talented and getting her involved has helped them.

193
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: She was much better in game two than Game one

194
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: and game one she was great at the start and

195
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: the people were winning and then that kind of faded away.

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: But the other part of this is the difference between

197
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 2: the college game. I got lucky that I interviewed Aleah

198
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: the first day she came to India after the draft,

199
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: and we happened to do the interview on the fever

200
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: Core And while we were talking, she kept looking down

201
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: and I couldn't figure out why, and it's because she

202
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: was looking at the paint and she was like, the

203
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: paint is this wide like in the pros. This is

204
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: how big it is? Like you catch father from the basket,

205
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: there's three in the key. There's all this different stuff

206
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: that changes your game and how impactful you can be.

207
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: And I think that is changed how she's had to

208
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: impact the game and what she's done in a way

209
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: that made her not quite the same player she was

210
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: in college.

211
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: Tony East is our guest at Tony R. East on

212
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: the ex post Twitter and of course locked on Pacers

213
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Forbes as well, where you can see and hear his

214
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: work Tony before we let you go, obviously before we

215
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: know what it's going to be here, which is hard

216
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: to believe. And that is just a pacer season. And

217
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: I still keep going back to in my mind, you know,

218
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the Halliburton injury, and it's like I almost forget that,

219
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that's right, he's not going to be there

220
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: this year, and then Myles Turner. But let's begin with Halliburton.

221
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Just in terms of what you hear or see, everything

222
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: seems to be that he is on timeline or maybe

223
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 1: even ahead of it, but will not play this year obviously.

224
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: But what do you hear an aspect of that in

225
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: terms of there have been no setbats, et cetera.

226
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: Correct, yep, nothing yet out of the boot. Sometimes I

227
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 2: think now, maybe always he told us it would be

228
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: about this time shooting free throws on his Instagram story.

229
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: I think that was a shoot promo and not actually

230
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: him being healthy, but good for him shooting some free

231
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: throws moving around. So yeah, certainly on the path, I

232
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: think we're going to see a lot of Tyree's Halliburton

233
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: arms stuff, shooting stand still jumpers, dribbling a ball but

234
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: not moving hardly at all. But yes, believe completely on

235
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: track to this point.

236
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: You know the other that I'm curious about, and you

237
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: tell me, do you believe that over the course of

238
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: a season. You know, Andrew Nemhart is a really good player.

239
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that and nem Hart has had

240
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: moments and flashes when Halliburton has been unavailable or where

241
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: they need that level of backcourt scoring, nem Hart has

242
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: been able to rise to those occasions. Do you believe

243
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: he can sustain that over the course of a season

244
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: when now all of a sudden, he is a microscope

245
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: guy from the other team's defense.

246
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: And required to be good, right, Like, if they're going

247
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: to be good and them hard has to be a

248
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: good player. Yeah. I've had a lot of trouble answering

249
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: that question, truly, because I mean, you know, you were

250
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: there at these games like Game three and four of

251
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,359
Speaker 2: the conference finals two years ago, and he was unguardable,

252
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: right the best events in League. Boston was like, we

253
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: can't stop this guy, right, And he's had many games

254
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: like that throughout his career, here and there, the legendary

255
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: Golden State game where he just destroys that furry great

256
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: playoff games all the time, but that's the thing, they're

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: legendary because they're like not frequent or like not consistently.

258
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: What he does do and that's what this season needs

259
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: to be about, is he has to be like all

260
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: the time, a good point guard, creating shots for others,

261
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: able to get in the lane, keep the ball moving,

262
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: stuff like that. We know he can do it. He

263
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: did it at Gonzaga, He's done it at times before,

264
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: but not with any sort of like consistency or Okay,

265
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: this is clearly a lead creator for a really good

266
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: team level. That's one of the biggest stories of the

267
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: season is can he do it? How much frequency can

268
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: he do it with? What's the right volume? How did

269
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: he keep other guys involved? Because the Flashes are crazy, right,

270
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: the Flashes are like, oh perfect, like they're gonna be

271
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: just fine and they could make the playoffs. 're playing

272
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: it again or whatever. But they're just that, they're flashes.

273
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: And I know the team believes that he can do it.

274
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: I know he believes he can do it, but canny

275
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: and that could be a huge question. And how much

276
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: do they have to change their system, if at all,

277
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: to make it possible, Because that's the other part of this.

278
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: They play so fast and move but all so much

279
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: because of Halburton. They don't have him this year. How

280
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: much are they going to be willing to change things

281
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: to make other guys better when it might not matter

282
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: that much in a year from.

283
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: Now, Tony, do you think considering that this year again,

284
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: it's it's just this weird year. It's probably the easiest

285
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: way to say it, right, this gap year a.

286
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: Year it will perfect, but I I know, I just

287
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: I can't weird.

288
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: Let's just say weird. It's gonna be weird.

289
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: When I heard somebody say that you would love because

290
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: specifically it's Halliburton who's out for the year, they should

291
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: call it a leap year. I thought that was pretty good.

292
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's solid for those that don't know Tyrey's Haliburton

293
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: born on leap here that that's pretty solid. Right, although, yeah,

294
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: although he can't leap, that's the only problem there, right,

295
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Right, you know what I mean.

296
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: So it's the non leap year basically. But so here's

297
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: the thing though, when you look at between Huff Wiseman

298
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: and Isaiah Jackson, and I do love Isaiah Jackson, but

299
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: he's also coming off the Achilles, So there's a big

300
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: question mark there. Do you believe that this year is

301
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: about grooming and auditioning those three to find out which

302
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: one is your long term answer there? Or are they

303
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: simply rotating through filling and warming that seat until they

304
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: go out next year through free agency and get the

305
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Miles Turner replacement.

306
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: I think they would hope that one of those guys

307
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: is the answer. And I think they clearly believe in

308
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: their you know, ability to heal these Achilles injuries because

309
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: they resigned two of them or both of them, right,

310
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: and it'll help them learn more about the process for Tyreech.

311
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think they got to hope it's one

312
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: of them, right, because it's really hard for them to

313
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: functionally get like a high paid, good starting center right now.

314
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: They could trade for a guy a rookie, still you

315
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: don't pay them more later. So figuring out their center

316
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: situation is really interesting. And I think that I did Jactual.

317
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: He's quite good, but who knows what he's going to

318
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: be like post Achilles, Like his whole thing is athleticism.

319
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: Is he going to have the same level? Huff looks

320
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: good last year He's played ninety five total NBA games.

321
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: The Pacers played more than that last year in total

322
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: between the playoffs, right, Like, you have no idea how

323
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: good these guys are going to be, And so that's

324
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: I think their hope. But I think you're right that

325
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: maybe like not stop gap or placement, but you know,

326
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: it is like a fill in, like hopefully it's one

327
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: of these guys. We'll see before they have to really

328
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: figure it out when Haliburn's back as they try to

329
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: compete again.

330
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, seven thirty tonight, it is the Fever and the

331
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta Dream down in Atlanta, Tony East, appreciate the time,

332
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and who knows, man, maybe we'll be talking to you

333
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: again about another round for the Fever, depending on what

334
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: happens tonight. But appreciate the time.

335
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: There's a chance we find out tonight that they're hosting

336
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: the second round.

337
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: Jakes could be crazy.

338
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I did see somebody. Yeah, they were talking about that, right.

339
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: It all depends on what happens between Las Vegas and Seattle,

340
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: but we will keep our eye on it. Tony appreciated

341
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: telling ya Nashville and it's an awesome city, but the

342
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: whole Vegas feel to it. It does feel like it

343
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: has become the bachelorette party capital of the world, and

344
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: it's almost more like a like Vegas is the has

345
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: the reputation of, you know, the guys weekend, even though

346
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: now it's become a more family friendly environment in Vegas.

347
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: But it does feel like Nashville is kind of the

348
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: girls like the girls weekend get away, right, I mean

349
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: literally any and you don't if you're driving there and

350
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: you have like a rental car with a blind spot,

351
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: and you don't have to necessarily worry about like accidentally

352
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: cutting off one of the bachelorette buses because you hear

353
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: him coming from three blocks away. That's what it sounds

354
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: like the whole time. That's not an ambulance, by the way,

355
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: that's right. Those are all the wool girls joining us

356
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: now and perhaps avoiding exactly that. He is from the

357
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: Nashville Post talking about the Titans and Colts this weekend.

358
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: He joins us on the guest line John Glennon on

359
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: the program, John, how are you?

360
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm doing well?

361
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: How were you guys? Was that a fair assessment of

362
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Broadway or am I over selling it?

363
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: I think you nailed it. I think you hit it

364
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: right on the head there. There's little doubt that we

365
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: are the national capital of bachelorette parties. And kind of

366
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: the fascinating thing is that they travel in every manner

367
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: of vehicle now too. Like you mentioned the bus, sometimes

368
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: we see tractor pulls with with loads of bachelorette in

369
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: the background. You know, we've got other you know, like

370
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: vans or open bed trucks with pools in the back

371
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: and hot tubs. So yeah, if you come to Nashville

372
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: and you're around downtown on a weekend, you are you're

373
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: going to see a few bachelor at parties, without question.

374
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would necessarily want to like

375
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: be running around telling everybody that my fiance is away

376
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: on a tractor pole, right, you know what I mean?

377
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: Like the sawed off top of the school bus is passable,

378
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: but the tractor poll seems to be a little condescending.

379
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: It's me, I don't know, Yeah, I.

380
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 3: Just I don't see that and think, you know, hey boy,

381
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 3: yeah you know I got to get on one of

382
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: those tractors and ride around Tad just now that that

383
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: doesn't strike me as a must do either. But apparently

384
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: they're doing pretty well because they've been around for a while.

385
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to be before we get into

386
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: the nuances and x's and o's of this game, John,

387
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: I want it for anybody that's listening that may be

388
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: going down to Nashville for this game this weekend, and

389
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: it is a great spot to go down for, you know,

390
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: for Colts fans over the years to go for away

391
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: games just because it's a great city. But I know

392
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: that they are building the new stadium right next door.

393
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: How much has that made it difficult in terms of

394
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: parking and getting in and out of the stadium or

395
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: is it relatively unaffected from what people have done in

396
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: the past.

397
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: You know, the last couple of years have have been

398
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: you know, there's been construction there and and some people

399
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: certainly have had to alter their usual strategies of getting

400
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: there that you know, there's a lot more buses, a

401
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: lot more parking areas around town that you can park

402
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: and take bottle buses or shuttles in there. You know.

403
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: Of course, we being the lucky few that still get

404
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 3: the media parking, so it hasn't really affected us too much.

405
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: And you know, I guess sad to say the Titans

406
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: have been kind of poor enough the last couple of

407
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: years that crowds haven't exactly you know, been filling up

408
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: Nissan stadiums. So from that standpoint, you know that the

409
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: traffic hasn't been too bad even with all that new

410
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: construction going on.

411
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: Okay, that construction includes the team itself obviously, because they're

412
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: in a makeover period with cam Ward at quarterback. It

413
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: is very early. It goes without saying and being I mean,

414
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: I think we now know in Indianapolis how long it

415
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: takes to determine whether a guy's the guy or not.

416
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: But when you have a quarterback like that, Tennessee has

417
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: offensively come up with, what sort of a scheme or

418
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: what sort of looks that Indianapolis should anticipate seeing on Sunday.

419
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's not necessarily a wealth of offensive

420
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: options with this team right now. You know, I think

421
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: we're seeing some promise that maybe, you know, Colts fans,

422
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: we'll get a look at some young receivers that will

423
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 3: be around for a while. Two rookies, elk Iomanor and

424
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: Chim ray d Ka both have impressed in the first

425
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. I am man Or was on the

426
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: receiving end of that that crazy cam Ward touchdown pass

427
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: last week where he held the ball for eight seconds.

428
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: So those guys, you know, keep an eye on them.

429
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: Of course, Calvin Ridley is a talented veteran, but you know, yeah,

430
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: you will see some things that cam Ward did pretty

431
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: well in college here. And of course one of the

432
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: things that he excelled at at in Miami was was

433
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: downfield passing. Uh, that hasn't gone so well, I would

434
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: say in the first couple of weeks. And and you know,

435
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 3: I think it's something that the most quarterbacks have to

436
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: learn when they come from the college game, especially when

437
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: they're big play kind of guys that occasionally, you know,

438
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 3: you have to take that checkdown pass, that that moved

439
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: the chains kind of pass as opposed to taking you know,

440
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: kind of one big shot downfield after another. And I

441
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: think that's one of the first lessons that that cam

442
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: Ward is learning.

443
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: How have they done in terms of just protection of

444
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: cam Ward?

445
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: Not well, well, not too well. You know, eleven sacks

446
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: in the first two weeks, which is you know, kind

447
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: of all the more disappointing because of the money they

448
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: invested in that offensive line this year. You know, they

449
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: went out. First thing they did in free agency was

450
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 3: they got Dan Moore, their new starting left tackle, to

451
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: have you know, signed him to a like a four year,

452
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: eighty two million dollar deal. You know, they got a

453
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: veteran right guard from Detroit and Kevin Zeitler, you know,

454
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: brought him at nine million per year. They moved J. C.

455
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: Latham the tackle from left to right where he'd played

456
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: in college. They figured that would be a good move.

457
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: And you know, at center, you've got a high price

458
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: free agent from twenty twenty four in Lloyd Cushionberry, but

459
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 3: the end result so far has not been good. You know,

460
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: probably have those eleven sacks, I think three have been

461
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: attributed to cam Ord, you know, maybe holding the ball

462
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: a little bit too long. That still leaves you with

463
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: eight sacks, you know, are that are attributed to offensive

464
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: line or running back situations. So it's not been a

465
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: start from that standpoint for the Titans, and that was

466
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: something that certainly bothered this team quite a bit last year.

467
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: You know.

468
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: One of the things John, I've always felt John Glenn

469
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: and our guests from the Nashville Post talking about the

470
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Titans and Colts this Sunday one aspect that I've always

471
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: felt is really underrated, and we've talked about it a

472
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: lot on this show, but I want to get your

473
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on it. You can go out and accumulate five

474
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that are all a seven and a half

475
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: or hire in terms of their skill set, but if

476
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: they're not used to playing with one another, oftentimes that's

477
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: almost an inferior line to a group that might be

478
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: all sixes but are used to one another's tendencies, especially

479
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: when you're moving guys from left to right. It just

480
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: seems to me like an offensive line takes literally a

481
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: half a year for guys to understand what's around them

482
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 1: and then kind of gel together as a line itself.

483
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: Does your observation of the NFL tell you the same thing?

484
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're accurate there. And you know, you

485
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: look at the five man front, and three of those

486
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 3: five guys are new. Two are absolutely new to the team.

487
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: And then, as I mentioned, Latham moves from left tackle

488
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: to right tackle this year. So yeah, a lot of

489
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: newness there. And you know, because some of these guys

490
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: are veterans, like a Zeitler and Cushion Berry was coming

491
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: back from injury, they didn't get a chance, you know,

492
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: in any of the preseason games to play all five

493
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: of them together in any of the preseason contests either.

494
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: And then we've already seen a couple of injuries, you know,

495
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 3: to the offensive line in the first two games. In fact,

496
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 3: you know, there's a chance basically the right side of

497
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 3: the lines Zeitler and Latham Hight both miss you know,

498
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 3: Sunday's game. We'll have to see how things play out.

499
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: But yeah, so they really haven't had that great amount

500
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: of time together yet to kind of form that chemistry

501
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: and as of right now, as I say it's not

502
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: a it's not off to a good start. You could

503
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: sort of say, Okay, they've gone up against two very

504
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 3: good defensive fronts, and that's true. Denver led the league

505
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: in sacks last year and the Rams have a you know,

506
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: a pretty outstanding front seven as well. But nonetheless, at

507
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: some point, especially when you have you know, the future

508
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: of the franchise presumably playing quarterback, you know things have

509
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: to things have to get better in that department.

510
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: Okay, John, We're going to pretend that Shane Styken calls

511
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: you on the phone, right and he says, John, Shane Styken,

512
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: head coach Inniapolis Colts. And then he speaks really fast

513
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: and typically in very short cliches, but in this case

514
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: he's going to have a conversation with you, and he says, look,

515
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: you cover the Tennessee Titans. I got a quarterback in

516
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones that has just been excellent for me through

517
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: two games. I've got a tight end and Tyler Warren

518
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: that is exactly as advertised. Got a good running back

519
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: in Johnathan Taylor. I've got a bevy of receivers for

520
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones to throw around too. But I want to

521
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: make sure that we're keeping on stride with what we've

522
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: done through two games. Can you, John Glennam, please tell

523
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: me what it is that Tennessee shows defensively that is

524
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: their biggest vulnerability that I need to scheme to take

525
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: advantage of to keep Daniel Jones confident and rolling.

526
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: Well.

527
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: I would say, Shane, you've got a few options so far,

528
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: you know, I might not limit it to just one

529
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 3: thing that you're gonna have to. You know, that is

530
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: a deficiency on the Titan side of the ball, because

531
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: they really haven't done a good job, you know, for

532
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: several years. They were at least very good at stopping

533
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: the run. Last year was not a good you know

534
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: season for stopping the run. And so far the first

535
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: two games about one hundred and fifty yards average against

536
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: on the ground, and they've given up, you know, two

537
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: big chunk carries of over forty yards, one in each

538
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: of the two games. So that is troublesome for the Titan,

539
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 3: you know. And I would also say the pass rush

540
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: is a deficien city for the Titans. You know, you

541
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: can certainly bank on Daniel Jones probably having a little

542
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: bit more time than usual the Titans have all of

543
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: two sacks in the first two games, and really, Jeffrey

544
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: Simmons is the only guy that's been bringing consistent pressure

545
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: in there. The Titans just don't have much on the

546
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: on the edges right now. So you know, when you're

547
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 3: kind of having a hard time stopping the run and

548
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: you're having a hard time getting after the passer, that

549
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily bode too well for the defense.

550
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: This is season number John, I'm trying to guess here,

551
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: would this be what season twenty seven in Nashville for

552
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: the Titans? Somewhere in there.

553
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: That sounds about right. I think that is accurate.

554
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Out of curiosity, and I'm always I call this the

555
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: Willie McGhee factor. Willie McGee is the player that in

556
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, he is a beloved figure. But I think

557
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: people outside of Saint Louis would be surprised to know

558
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: that Willie McGee is. You know, Jeff Foster's that way

559
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: here right, Like, I don't know, you know, Jeff Foster

560
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: was a super popular pacer and people outside Indiana probably

561
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: be like, really, Jeff Foster was a beloved guy. Uh,

562
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: give me the player for the Titans overall, that is

563
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: a beloved figure that perhaps is not thought of outside

564
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: of Nashville as being a long term Titan.

565
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 3: Hmm, that's a good question. You know. I might think

566
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: of one who unfortunately, you know, passed away, you know,

567
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: not all that long ago, and that would be Frank Whitechek,

568
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: the tight end you know, who played for so many years.

569
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 1: He had a pretty big pass completion in his career.

570
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: Yes he did, Yes, he did. Uh. He was part

571
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: of the Music City miracle of course, through that pass

572
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: all the way across the field to Kevin Dison against

573
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills and the playoffs, and Dison scored on

574
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: the last second, seventy five yard touchdown return. But yeah,

575
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: you know, he he made maybe you know, one or

576
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: two Pro Bowls potentially. But because of the kind of person, well,

577
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 3: he wasn't an uber talented, skilled, you know type player,

578
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 3: and and you know, I believe was originally a UDFA.

579
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: You know, he became a very much beloved type of

580
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: player here in Nashville. Was a great uh you know

581
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: target for Steve McNair over the years. Uh and afterwards too.

582
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: You know, he remained very much a part of the

583
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: community for several years so that one comes to mind.

584
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: I would say, uh, top of the top of the

585
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: charts as a person that maybe around the country, you know,

586
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: doesn't get as much notice, but certainly here again, I

587
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: would say a beloved type character.

588
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to guess the foremost popular players in

589
00:28:51,040 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Titan's history. You ready, all right? McNair, Yeah, Eddie George, Yeah,

590
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: I'll go. I'm gonna go Curveball here, Javon Curse.

591
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: Possibly, yeah, yeah, possibly.

592
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: I would say carry Collins.

593
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can give you carry Collins

594
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: on the on the on the Mount Rushmore, if you will.

595
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Okay, certainly very popular. Chris Johnson, Chris Johnson's Johnson.

596
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: Uh would certainly be a good one.

597
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

598
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Well, Kevin Dyson, Kevin Dyson for for what he did.

599
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: Sure, I would say, you know, here's another one that

600
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: doesn't get too much national attention. But Derek Mason was tremendous,

601
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, tremendous wide receiver.

602
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: Just because he's an Indie native. We're gonna throw Blaine

603
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: Bishop in there.

604
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: There you go. That's another good one too.

605
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

606
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: He you know, he started in in Houston, but certainly

607
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: had some great years, some Pro Bowl years for the

608
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: for the Titans here as well.

609
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: Okay, John, before we let you go, I'm curious of

610
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: this and just being on the beat in Nashville, that

611
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: is such a growing city and such a great city,

612
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: and this is both of these leagues. I'm kind of

613
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: fascinated that, you know, Baseball has been one that's been rumored.

614
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean, when the White Sox, it seems like Naphville

615
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: always comes up in conversation between the NBA and MLB,

616
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: which one is more likely to eventually land themselves a

617
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: franchise in Nashville.

618
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: That's a good quote. I suspect it would be MLB,

619
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: you know, and you know, maybe one of the main

620
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: reasons I think, you know, you've got an NBA franchise

621
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: in Memphis on the other side of the state, and

622
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: you know it's only three hours three three and a

623
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 3: half hours away, So maybe the league would probably steer

624
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: clear of that, I would think. And there's a tremendous

625
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: amount of enthusiasm for MLB here, there's no doubt about.

626
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 3: You know, a ton of Atlanta fans here, of Saint

627
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 3: Louis fans, both those cities within driving distance. The one

628
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: thing they don't have, right now is that huge walleted,

629
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: deep pocketed guy that's going to say, yeah, here's the money,

630
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: you know, for for an expansion team if that's you know,

631
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: if that is indeed the case. So you know a

632
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: lot of people say maybe it's going to start stretching

633
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: the sports dollar too thin. You know, Nashville is not

634
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 3: a massive city, and you well you got.

635
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: The Predators there too, which are I mean, the Predators

636
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: are a huge sell right.

637
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they sure are. They've they've been selling out

638
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: for a while. So that that is kind of one

639
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: of the big questions if there's enough sports dollar to

640
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: go around, especially with MLB. You know, obviously you've got

641
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: the eighty two home games. Uh so, yeah, that's a

642
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: that's a question mark. But I know the the enthusiasm

643
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: certainly is there for a for an expansion team.

644
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Well, John, we appreciate the time. As always, we will

645
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: probably reach out to you again here coming up just

646
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: before Halloween as a matter of fact, when the Titan

647
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: step to come up here and we'll see where things

648
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: stand there. But certainly look forward to this Sunday and

649
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the time and the perspective on the game.

650
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 3: Sounds good, all right, thanks for having me, guys.

651
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: John Glennon joining us from the Nashville Post. You probably

652
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: heard Eddie in the background. Did you hear one of

653
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: the bachelortt parties in the background that sounds like Zeppelin,

654
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: doesn't it? It's a good song. Yeah, I can hear.

655
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: And they put on a good show, great van fleet.

656
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: But but there was definitely part of it where I

657
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: was like, is this a led Zeppelin tribute band joining us?

658
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 4: Now?

659
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: He is the Robert Plant of NFL play by play announcers.

660
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: I was thinking about this Jake because he goes on

661
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: the morning show on Fridays and he has this little

662
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: section of their conversation where it's Taylor's tidbits. I was

663
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 4: thinking maybe we were phrases, you know, in some way

664
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: or form to where it it's time to get tailored,

665
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: or it's time to visit the tailor.

666
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: It's time to get tailored. Typically, if you get tailored,

667
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: you're getting an orange fluffcake from Taylor's Bakery. And I

668
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: think Taylor'd be cool with that, right if I said

669
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: that that's what that should be. Getting tailored should be

670
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: reserved for Let's ask Matt what what he'd like to

671
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: be our Thursday visit to be known as Matt Taylor

672
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: joins us. Now, any thoughts on that?

673
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 5: Matt, Hey, listen, it's your show. You can do whatever

674
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 5: you want. Those are the rules they put when they

675
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 5: put your name on it.

676
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 3: You can do whatever you want.

677
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 5: Listen, we can visit, we can visit the tailor and

678
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 5: I'll do your end them and I'll make sure you

679
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: got you know, the proper length and it's it's cut

680
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 5: and trim. And that's good too, looking good.

681
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, And I do like the fact

682
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: that I don't agree with you necessarily on the fact

683
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: that if my name's on it, I can do what

684
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: I want. But you know, I am. I do have

685
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: my feet up on the desk right now for what that's.

686
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 5: Well, well, it's not my show. I can tell you that.

687
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: All right, Well it is now at least when you're

688
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: on Okay, let's get to this. And that is the

689
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: good news is when it comes to the Coltons and Titans,

690
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: the Colts, excuse me, and Titans on Sunday, looks like

691
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: from the Indianapolis standpoint, the health report is good, or

692
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: at least better today than yesterday.

693
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: Correct, Yeah, the non contact Jersey you know, the the

694
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 5: red jersey that guys in the concussion protocol where to

695
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 5: make sure that they can get through all the different

696
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: five steps of the process of the concussion protocol. You know.

697
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 5: Tarvarius Ward is out of that are those steps, I

698
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 5: should say. So he's back at practice in full yesterday.

699
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: I would think that his designation today would be similar.

700
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 5: And then of course Tyler Warren and Josh Dowens were

701
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 5: back at practice today, which was good. I think it

702
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 5: was more of a precaution rest day, you know, for

703
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 5: both guys. It's a long season. You know, Warren played

704
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 5: over sixty snaps, which is a lot for a tight

705
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 5: end in week two, so you know, just kind of

706
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 5: monitoring things, you know, just keeping an eye on guys's

707
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 5: usage and you know, just the wear and tear in

708
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: their body. So kind of a normal thing to be,

709
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: you know, on Wednesday. But good to see them back

710
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 5: out today and trending towards you know, being fully available

711
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 5: for Sunday. And same thing with Layatsu Latsu. I think

712
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 5: it was limited yesterday. We'll see what that says today,

713
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 5: but it'd be big on the defensive side of the

714
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: ball to get both Ward and Latsu back to difference makers,

715
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 5: you know, within their respective layers of that defense.

716
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Matt, let me give you an observation from afar and

717
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: then you tell me, as somebody who is much closer

718
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: to it, if I'm even within the ballpark of accurate,

719
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: because I think this may be completely inaccurate. Okay, but

720
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: the my outside observation is that Daniel Jones is kind

721
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: of one of those leaders that you know, the quarterback

722
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: naturally is the leader of the team. I mean there's

723
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: just by you just are and when you're the quarterback,

724
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: and leadership comes in a lot of different forms. I've

725
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: always said that in Matt, I think you were around

726
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: it when Peyton Manning would turn the corner on the

727
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: locker room, it was like, I mean that was he

728
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: was the alpha and there was no question everything.

729
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 5: Everybody shut up right totally.

730
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: Like it was like what and he didn't have to

731
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: say anything. I mean, he wasn't asking that of people.

732
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: It just happened that way, right.

733
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

734
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones to me, and we don't know him well,

735
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: but he strikes me as the kind of guy that

736
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: isn't a push to chest out an overly vociferous like

737
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: raw rop pat On the back lifting up teammates kind

738
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: of guy, but rather a I've just got my playbook,

739
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: and I keep my nose down and I do what's

740
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: asked of me, and I turned my homework in on time,

741
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: and therefore guys have learned to respect that I've gone

742
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: about it that way and that's my form of leadership.

743
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Any accuracy to that.

744
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he nailed it spot on, to be

745
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: honest with you, because that's exactly what I see too.

746
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 5: And when i'm you know, noticing the vibe and the

747
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 5: energy in the locker room, I pick up on the

748
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 5: same thing where guys, you know, Daniel's not You're right,

749
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 5: I mean, Daniel's not like a you know, he's not

750
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: going to point at guys and screaming guy's face when

751
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 5: they make a mistake. But he is he's not going

752
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,959
Speaker 5: to just let those things go too. I think there's

753
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 5: a good little balance there of of you know, you know,

754
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 5: lifting guys up, but also holding guys accountable to And

755
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 5: it's all the stuff that he that he does for

756
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 5: himself because he is, you know, to your point, very

757
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 5: much a you know, first guy in, last guy out,

758
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 5: very professional, cares deeply about uh, you know, wanting to

759
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 5: be good. And I also think that he has a

760
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 5: chip on his shoulder, you know, to change the perception

761
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 5: of his his you know, ability to play quarterback in

762
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 5: the NFL. And I mean through two games, he is

763
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 5: the next version of you know, whatever you want to say,

764
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 5: Geno Smith or Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield career resurgence,

765
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 5: you know, guys, it goes to a different you know,

766
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 5: setting a new team. You know, seems to be fitting

767
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: in greatly with Shane Steichen. So far, so good, absolutely

768
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 5: through two games. But he's a quiet guy, but also

769
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 5: is very intentional about everything that he does. I mean

770
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 5: you're hearing stories about how he's inviting guys to go

771
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 5: to dinner and you know they're going to go bowling.

772
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 5: And I mean if you just walk down to the cafeteria,

773
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: you know, five days a week, Monday through Friday, you

774
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 5: see him sitting with a different guy or a different

775
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 5: group of guys every single day because he's just trying

776
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 5: to be intentional about connecting with everybody on the team.

777
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 5: And I think you're right. I think you hit on

778
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 5: something that's really important. It's really the way that we,

779
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, how we've gotten here as a football society,

780
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 5: how we judge quarterbacks and how we put so much

781
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 5: on their plate. It's it's really unfair. I mean, we

782
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: have quarterback power rankings that come out every week, and

783
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 5: you know we scrutinize every throw that they make. You know,

784
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 5: one week they're great, the next week they're a bum.

785
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: I mean, we're just so fickle about it. But you know,

786
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 5: the way Daniel Jones has been able to come in

787
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 5: here and you know, really provide the the culture of

788
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 5: the team, and I think that's something that you know,

789
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 5: the Colts were interested in too, to see how that

790
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 5: played out when they named him as the starting quarterback,

791
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 5: because that's something else. I mean, not only do you

792
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 5: have to know the playbook and you have to know

793
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 5: all the guys, and you have to know all the

794
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 5: little interacies of the offense. But you know, it's unfair

795
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 5: for the quarterback to sort of be in charge of

796
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 5: the culture in the atmosphere of the locker room. But

797
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 5: you know, that's what he's done and in short order

798
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 5: as well. So again I've said this a million times

799
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 5: that the biggest compliment I can give Daniel Jones is

800
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: that he does not at all look like a guy

801
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 5: that's only been here since March. He looks like he's

802
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 5: been a part of this team now for three to

803
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 5: four years, based on the level of respect that you know,

804
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: all the guys have for him. And certainly you you

805
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 5: get more respect when you know you put in all

806
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 5: the work and then you just ball out the way

807
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 5: that he's done in the first two games of the

808
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 5: season for Colts.

809
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: You know, Matt you talk about you know, just like

810
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: the in the cafeteria, like in the facility, or you know,

811
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: in the downtime, and there is downtime that does take

812
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: place when these guys are around each other as much

813
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: as they are, even though there's meetings and films and

814
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: all that. And I've asked this before, I think, but

815
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: to players. But I'm curious if you have observed this.

816
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: It would be my feeling that if you were running

817
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: an NFL franchise, your defensive backs and your receivers. I

818
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: know that they go into different rooms and they're you know,

819
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: they're they're different units with different coaches. But it seems

820
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: as though it would be who of your organization to

821
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: have those guys interact a lot together because of the

822
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: fact that a receiver when he's lining. You know, if

823
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: he's talking to the defensive backs on his roster, he

824
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: can get an idea of what's in the head of

825
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: a dB and like and vice versa, right, so that

826
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: they are getting an idea of what the opposition that's

827
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: trying to shut them down on a Sunday has in mind,

828
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: and vice versa. Do you see any of that at

829
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: all in terms of guys talking to their own teammates

830
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: to get an idea of what the opposition would be

831
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: doing for them.

832
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, great point. All the time. It happens all the time.

833
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 5: You know, you see those guys talking to each other

834
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 5: in the locker room. You know, they're sitting next to

835
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: each other, and you know at their locker stalls, you know,

836
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 5: going through their iPad and watching film and breaking down

837
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 5: the playbook. And you also see it too. And I

838
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 5: think this is really important. And I don't know if

839
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: this happens everywhere, but I have seen it happen here

840
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 5: multiple times over the years, where the defensive coordinator or

841
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 5: at the very least a secondary coach, you know, guy

842
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 5: that's overseeing both cornerbacks and safeties, will sit down with

843
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 5: the quarterback and say, this is like if we saw

844
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 5: this play from the Colts offense, this is how we

845
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 5: would we would attack it. Or you know, if you're

846
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 5: a young quarterback, it's like, you know, teach me your

847
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 5: way of interpreting defense. You know, when I see you know,

848
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 5: the second just throwing out just you know, random examples.

849
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 5: Right if you see, you know, a safety drop in

850
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 5: the box in this coverage or in this situation in

851
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 5: the red zone, this is more likely than not what

852
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 5: they're trying to do here. So you know, even though

853
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 5: they're on different sides of the ball, there's a lot

854
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 5: of crossover and a lot of help between you know,

855
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 5: offense and defense, players and coaches throughout the course of

856
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 5: a seventeen game season in the NFL.

857
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard it, Matt, but but

858
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: I think it was to the beginning of this week.

859
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: I played some audio and look, I know in Indianapolis,

860
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: the you know, playing quotes from Tom Brady, you know,

861
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: isn't exactly the most probably a popular thing, but Brady

862
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: was on I think it was I'm Not Show. He

863
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: was on colic OUH heard, yeah, and he was talking

864
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: about when he was a young quarterback, when he first

865
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: took over for Drew Bledsoe. Unfortunately, tragically, the quarterbacks coach

866
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: for the Patriots at the time, passed away of an

867
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: unexpectedly during camp, so Bill Belichick overtook the quarterback coach

868
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: role even though he was the head coach. So Brady

869
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: talked about how, basically the first year that he was

870
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: learning the quarterbacking position, he was learning it by Belichick

871
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: saying to him, look, I can't tell you about footwork

872
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: in rotation or whatever else, but I can tell you

873
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: about every defense you're going to see. And you know

874
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. And so he was learning it from

875
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: the outside in and as a result of that, and

876
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: you could see it, and I think you can see

877
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: it with Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck in the fact

878
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: that those guys were human computers that could look over

879
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: a defense and their biggest strength was in looking at

880
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: an alignment and figuring out what the best play was

881
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: or how to get out of a bad play. And

882
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones strikes me as the kind of guy that

883
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: has a similar process, may not go as deep into

884
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: his checks, but is able to determine and quickly figure

885
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: out in process us what's going to work. Has that

886
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: been your assessment through two games.

887
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and you know, just to piggyback off the Tom

888
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 5: Brady thing. I mean it's that famous you know video

889
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 5: footage of him, you know, in that droopy, you know,

890
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 5: long collared you know, white T shirt at the combine.

891
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 5: I mean, he looks like my neighbor. Very physically unimpressive, right,

892
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 5: But I mean that was Tom Brady's superpower was he

893
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 5: was an average quarterback in terms of athleticism, but the

894
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 5: super computer part that you just brought up, that's where

895
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 5: he was just different. And then you took that mental

896
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 5: ability and you paired that with a guy like Bill

897
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 5: Belichick to bring the best out of him with a

898
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 5: football IQ, and then he was just off the charts

899
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: as he continued to grow and develop, you know physically

900
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 5: in the NFL. But yeah, Daniel Jones has that too,

901
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: and I think he's even probably well, I know, definitively

902
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 5: way more athletics than Tom Brady ever was at any

903
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 5: point in his career. So you pair the mental part

904
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 5: of the game with Daniel Jones and his deceptive running

905
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 5: ability and you know, being able to get out of

906
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 5: the pocket and extend plays and get first downs, and

907
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 5: I think you really have something and you know, truth

908
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 5: be told, That's where I think he won the job.

909
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 5: That's how I think he won the job over Anthony

910
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 5: Richardson is that at this stage in their careers, you know,

911
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 5: presently speaking, Daniel Jones is just further along with pre

912
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 5: snap recognition and being able to get the Colts into

913
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 5: good plays and out of bad plays. I mean, obviously

914
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson has all of the physical tools, but it

915
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 5: was just the mental side where I think Daniel Jones

916
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 5: had the leg up. And again through two games, the

917
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 5: Colts have been completely validated in making that choice.

918
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: I noticed that when you wanted to give the stereotype

919
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: of just your average non athletic guy, you went with

920
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: your neighbor and not yourself.

921
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 5: Right.

922
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: He looked like a fat guy like my neighbor.

923
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 5: Right, we'll just insert cliche here. You know, you can

924
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 5: do the What was it is that, Bill Toby? You know,

925
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 5: my my postman knows more about football than melt Kiper.

926
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 5: You know I could have said my mom or postman

927
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,280
