1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Best of the Fan Morning Show

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Good Friday morning. For some folks, it's already back to

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: school time. I know you had your daughter's, your youngest

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: daughter's first day ever at preschool yesterday, Mark dyked and

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: how'd that go? How was the emotional roller coaster for

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: her and your wife and you? Yesterday?

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: I was told she loved it. A teacher said it

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: looked like she's been there forever because she just blended

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: right in, had fun and all that stuff. And she

11
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: said she made a lot of friends. She loves her teacher,

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: so can't complain there. So kids off to school, she

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: loves it. She just likes walking to school with her

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: sisters and everything. So she's excited to go kindergarten because

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: next year in kindergarten, all three of them will be

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: in the same school. They're very excited about.

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: So she's already not torn up by being away from

18
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: you and your wife all day long.

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: Well, my wife was actually working at the school. She's

20
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: working in a different class, but she's she's not going

21
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: to be with her, which I think is good. But yeah,

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: she's in the same school. So worst comes to the worst,

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: she needs her, she's there.

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's that time of year back school. We've got

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: footballs in the air pretty soon, Friday night footballs for

26
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: high school going to be starting out. Got college football

27
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: obviously week Zeros just a couple of weeks away. We

28
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: have weathered the summer, and what a summer it's been here,

29
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: from the Pacers run to all the other great things

30
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: that were going on here. The Fever have done a

31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: great job. We had the WNBA All Star Game, we

32
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: had the Brickyard four hundred. Now we're full into camp

33
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: and a pretty good scrimmage to talk about last night

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: as the Colts had a situational scrimmage up at Grand

35
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: Park and James Boyd. We've talked a lot about how

36
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: things look for Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones so far

37
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: this morning, But what about that defensive line that people

38
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: really want to see some improvement from this year.

39
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: Out two lotso I thought it stood out there throughout

40
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: the practice. He had a couple of pressures and actually

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: on the throw that Daniel Jones had to Tyler Warren,

42
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: which I believe was one of the best catches we'll

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: probably see in a setting like that. And like I said,

44
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: Coach Ventia was in my ear saying, that's the best

45
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: bleeping catch you'll see and that bleep bleed can play.

46
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 5: And so can I pause you right there?

47
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah?

48
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: Did you want? Okay, So let's dive deeper into this play.

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 5: I apologize for interrupting jails quick, but but I don't

50
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 5: know if I've seen a sideline react like that. Yes,

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: so a training can't play in quite some time. And

52
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: that's what I think I'm struck by. It's like when

53
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: his peers are reacting to that, it's like, you know,

54
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: it's a wow moment. And if you go back and

55
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: watch the play, I could not agree with you more.

56
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: When Daniel Jones throws the football, I thought, oh boy,

57
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 5: that's an overthrow, and for Daniel Jones' sake, you hope

58
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 5: it hits turf because that is a down the seam

59
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 5: overthrow and that runs risk. And Jalen Carlis had blanket

60
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: coverage on Tyler Warnah, exceptional coverage, and honestly, when Warren

61
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 5: stuck the left pauw up there, I thought, at the

62
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: very least he was just stopping the ball, Like, okay,

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 5: now it won't be an interception. He's not going to

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: catch it, but at least by the fact that he

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: gets his hand on it, it'll fall to the ground

66
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: and be fine. And when he stopped it enough to

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: almost tip it up to himself and then get the

68
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 5: right hand up there Austin and Jakie number fifty eight,

69
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 5: the linebacker in the background, he immediately goes hands to

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: the helmet, like, are you bleeping kidding me that they

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: did just did that? I guess to quote John Stark's

72
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 5: there it was. It's one of the greatest sketches I've

73
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 5: seen in training camp settings. So I apologize for interrupting,

74
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 5: but I just saw it. I thought the sideline reaction,

75
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: Jakie's reaction, all of it kind of told you of like,

76
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 5: this is not just a hey, we have a bigger

77
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: crowd here and it's a night practice and people are

78
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: naturally going to be a little bit more on edge.

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: Clearly the peers of Tyler Warren weren't all.

80
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, special stuff. And again that to me is sort

81
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: of summed up that play. But also on that play,

82
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: in the replay, you can see that it looks like

83
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: two lots who got around the edge there and when

84
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: I brought the playoff to sayin Stikeen after practice, he

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, the defense got on me. I probably

86
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 4: should have blew a dead or the referees probably I

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: should have called it a sack because in a real game,

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: that pass isn't getting off because LAO two is right

89
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: in Daniel Jones's grill. Now for our sakes and the

90
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: highlights takes. And I definitely thought about the Colts videographers

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 4: when when that play happened. I was thinking, somebody's gonna

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: clip this and it's gonna be very viral for them.

93
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: But nevertheless, I thought allot to lat too had pressure

94
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: not only on that play, but a few plays, and

95
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 4: the difference between obviously making a play and not making

96
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: a play at that position is just a ticker too,

97
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: you know, half a second or more. And for the

98
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: most part, I think that he's kind of come alive

99
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: Kevin over the last couple of days throughout training camp,

100
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: and certainly want to see him come alive throughout the

101
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: second season because he needs to be a dude. This year.

102
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: You get drafted as high as he is, those dudes

103
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: are expected to be game changers, and the Coats don't

104
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: have bad pass rushers they don't have right now, an

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: elite guy who you know, I think teams really have

106
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 4: to you know, scheme and scout for on the edge. Now,

107
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: you don't have that on the inside with the Forest

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: Buckner and Grover Stewart. But if he can get to

109
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: another level on the outside lot to then his defense

110
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: can be even that much more dangerous.

111
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 5: Well, and on that play, he had beaten Braiden Smith,

112
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: and he beat Braiden Smith a couple different times, yeah,

113
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: last night, and that's obviously a marquee matchup. So that

114
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: also stood out to me. I think about lots of

115
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 5: at UCLA that I think a lot of people felt

116
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 5: like he'd walk into the NFL and not be as

117
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: much of a I don't know project as some other

118
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: young rushers is. He did it from both sides of

119
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 5: the line at UCLA. This is not a dude that

120
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: just simply lined up on the right or the left

121
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 5: side and whatever feasted on you know, the equivalent of

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: IU's non conference schedule and then boom, you can pad

123
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: your stats that way, you get the conference play and

124
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: you kind of a quiet no, no, no. He had

125
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: some of his bigger games against some of the marque teams,

126
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 5: UCLA played and again did it on the right and

127
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: the left side. So I think it's been a quiet

128
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: start to camp for allow to a lot to in

129
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: the pass rush overall. But James, I did think on

130
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: a night where you're missing, to force Buckner to have

131
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 5: the amount of pressure that they did create was a

132
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: positive sign for that group that I thought in the

133
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 5: first two days with full pads, they're kind of quiet.

134
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: One more quick note on that play. If you watch

135
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 4: the replay Black and actually Kevin I think it was

136
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: Kemra mcgron in the replay, I can't tell because the

137
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: number is fiftuated, but I'm looking at like honestly skin

138
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: tones and I'm like, well, one guy's you know, a

139
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: little little darker. But after they kind of react, this

140
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 4: man gets up, Tyler Warren that is, and just shakes

141
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 4: somebody's hand and goes right back to the huddle. And

142
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 4: I'm like, he's just so he's chill, boring, but like

143
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: cool about it, you know what I mean. It's not

144
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: an act he was on with us. He's a very

145
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: chill guy. But I was thinking, my my goodness, to

146
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 4: guy makes the play of camp. I got you know,

147
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: coach Vcteria in my ear saying that's the best play

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: he's seen on that field the next amount of years.

149
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: And he gets up and shakes his teammate's hands and

150
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: basically just says, you know, it is what it is.

151
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 5: He didn't get a first down salute, no wa to

152
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 5: get any of that.

153
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: And you know what's funny.

154
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: About in firm handshake as well?

155
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 4: We got yeah And actually I use it in my

156
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: story yesterday and you know, got a chance to cite

157
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: the show. We talked to talk to him about this.

158
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: We were able to get him on our show after

159
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: practice earlier this week, and one of the questions I

160
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: have was do you work on catching bad passes? And

161
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: he was saying not really. But the quote that he

162
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: gave us verbatim was quote, it's our job to make

163
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: them right. And boy did he make Dale Jones right

164
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: on that play.

165
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: And maybe Daniel Jones buy him a little dinner over

166
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: the weekend. Here for the first time we see a rookie.

167
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 5: Both quarterbacks have been bailed out by eighty four already.

168
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 5: I got it.

169
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: That's what you love about your guy, and that's the

170
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: guy that the Colts wanted. They got him and so far,

171
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: so good. Just a couple of weeks into his first camp,

172
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: but early returns are very positive. Right, we're getting back

173
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: to defense just a little bit. We had talked about

174
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: let too anybody else impress you last night along that

175
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: defensive front.

176
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: Not really. I mean there are a couple of nice

177
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: plays I thought made by Taekwon Lewis quit. He had

178
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: a couple of moments, as Kevin Bowen pointed out earlier,

179
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: I said, Kevin Bowen, like it was so formal. I'm sorry, Kevin,

180
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: speaking of disrespect.

181
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Do you.

182
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: Guys call famous people misters?

183
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: I don't. I never do.

184
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 5: That's always been awkward to me.

185
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Like I will say I did. I did use it

186
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: when I talked about Jim Ursay to him like I

187
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: wouldn't if everyone else in the room is calling him

188
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: mister Ersay. I didn't necessarily feel the need to always hear.

189
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 5: In a certain tax bracket, we then refer to you

190
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: as mister. I I I just use the mistress for

191
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: like my friend's dads and my neighbors growing up.

192
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: No. No, I meant like if I was sending an

193
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: email or something like that, I would say Jim and Honestly,

194
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: I probably say Jim to his face as well, but

195
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like it just depends if I get

196
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: to mister though, it's like, man, that's my dad. I

197
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: got a mister the other day from I think Stephen

198
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: Holder had a kid. Jonathan goes to HSC shout to Jonathan.

199
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 4: He's maybe a junior in high school going to his

200
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: junior or senior year, and he called me mister James

201
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: and I was like, WHOA, Like, I haven't heard you know,

202
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: mister attached to my mister boyd. I'm like, that's my dad.

203
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm getting up there in age a

204
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: little bit, but not that much.

205
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: Do you do you tell your son's friends to call you,

206
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 5: and I mean they're for you as mister A couple

207
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 5: of them do. Would you be a cool dad if

208
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,359
Speaker 5: you're like, hey, call me Jeff.

209
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: No, I think they they all just call me mister Rickard.

210
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: I've never really thought about it, but now that I

211
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: do think about that's what they call me. My kids,

212
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: if they're familiar with an older person because of their

213
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: Filipino heritage, they will say tito or tito. That's a

214
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: very that's a sign of respect. When you say they

215
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: maybe refer to you as you could be instead of

216
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: uncle James, you would be Tito James by them.

217
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need to be and I need to be

218
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: older brother. How do we say that?

219
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: Yeah?

220
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh Kuqueah James. Yeah, and then we do.

221
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: I tell all my kids friends to call me t Bone.

222
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: I will say, does it change when they get older?

223
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: Because all of my friends have heard of my dad

224
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 4: by his first name just because he's older now. And

225
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: then we're all adults and no one really cares. And

226
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: he also like not a big like title guy.

227
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 5: It's more like in the NFL. And again this is

228
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: it goes across all sports. Is like any owner world.

229
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: We refer to all these people as mister, And I'm like,

230
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: is it just because they're rich?

231
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: Is it kind of like calling somebody coach?

232
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Though?

233
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: Have we just conditioned ourselves that that's the what you

234
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: put in front of them?

235
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: The surname? I don't know.

236
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: I literally have no idea, probably a stupid thought that. No,

237
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: it's interesting on five and a half hours, I've never

238
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: really thought of my brain.

239
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've said coach before and I'm like, you're not

240
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: my coach? Why am I calling you that.

241
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't do that.

242
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: It's kind of like calling somebody doctor though too or

243
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean that's what they've achieved, that that's

244
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: the status they've achieved, the thing that's called like.

245
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: Rick Venturi coach because that's just how we do it,

246
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 4: and you know that's he's earned that title. I feel

247
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: like through fifty years of you know, NFL, CFL and

248
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: whatever else level football.

249
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: So well, it is interesting because my father in law

250
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: he was he's a retired surgeon, but everybody called him

251
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: doctor Tana. I just wonder if it's a sign of position.

252
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: To me, makes total sense. It's the mister. I'm like,

253
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: that's where I'm like, well, I guess technically aren't we

254
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: all misters?

255
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Right?

256
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 5: I mean, what defines mister? Once you get married, you.

257
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: Just don't want your mom calling you're a mister and missus.

258
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: The most honest answer I can give you, especially in

259
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: sports settings, and I've noticed this with a lot with

260
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 4: owners in uh players, they'll say mister Ballard or mister Ersa.

261
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: It probably comes down to, you know, I got a

262
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: lot of zeros on this contract that you allowed me

263
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: to sign, so I will just give you that sign

264
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: of respect.

265
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: So I need to be doing that more in this building,

266
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 5: is what.

267
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm just.

268
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: Record.

269
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: How about that old confusion older brother? Uh and die

270
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: is younger sister?

271
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: Things like that my confusion. I'm realizing now like with

272
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: school and stuff like you have to write to the

273
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 3: teachers on like you know, message boards and everything like that,

274
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you say, like their last name or

275
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: you just call them by their first name. Your your

276
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: kids teachers, You're you're a son of teachers.

277
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: How do you refer to them?

278
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

279
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: What's my mom? My dad? Always? Yeah, mister missus Smith.

280
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm trying to think of my own parents.

281
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 5: I think at times when they would run into their students,

282
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 5: the other parent would refer to them as, hey, missus Bowen,

283
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: Hey mister Bowen in front of your kids, in front

284
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 5: of the girls. Yeah, but I would say in a

285
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 5: personalized email or.

286
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Teacher conference or something like that, you're like, hey, what's up, Emily, Yeah,

287
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: how's my kid doing?

288
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 5: What's Emily? That's not my teacher, especially teacher's name stamping

289
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: up with Here's the other thing.

290
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: As I've started to get older with some of most

291
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: of the teachers, they're all like younger than they're all

292
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: your age, James, and so it'd be kind of weird

293
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: for me to start calling me calling people misters.

294
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: By the way, you mister missus. H I was listening

295
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: to uh Philip Rivers on Dan Patrick yesterday. I didn't

296
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: realize the man's a grandpa already he is. So I

297
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 5: guess you want when's the last time we've had a

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: grandpa playing in the NFL? George, that's a good one.

299
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 5: You know, it's not that crazy.

300
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: Oh, now he's forty three.

301
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 5: But you look at look at Philip Rivers said yesterday

302
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: with Dan Patrick. His two oldest daughters are both married,

303
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 5: and I believe the oldest as a child.

304
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: His oldest is twenty three years old. So that checks

305
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: that crazy.

306
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, I'm glad he's forty three year right now. Yeah,

307
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: he's forty three.

308
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 5: Say yeah, maybe we'll play this audio coming up next

309
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 5: week when it's a little quieter with no Colts practice

310
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: at Grand Park. But he also mentioned that in that

311
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one season, the Colts are one of the

312
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: teams that he has some interaction with late in the

313
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 5: year about potentially coming back and for those needing to

314
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 5: rerack their brain around that they probably don't want to.

315
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 5: But that was the Carson Wentz collapse late in the year.

316
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 5: Could you imagine if they would have benched Carson Wentz

317
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 5: like three weeks ago in the season and brought out

318
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 5: Uncle Phil Rivers, a guy that you better call mister.

319
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 5: Do you want to Uncle Phil?

320
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: There has been a player that has been a grandfather

321
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: while playing in the NFL.

322
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 5: He got Is it recent?

323
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: I would say it's pretty recent. Yeah, oh, reason because

324
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: it's not. I mean it's not that crazy. I mean,

325
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: if you have a whatever, twenty five year old kid.

326
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, really correct.

327
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: Let's go Brett far Of his daughter was pregnant when

328
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: when he was playing in twenty ten, twenty one year

329
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 3: old daughter is pregnant.

330
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: And Farv's oldest year was what forty I'd have.

331
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: To look that up, forty two, forty three. Maybe.

332
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 5: Gosh, that's crazy.

333
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Because you look at Tom Brady's kids, they're still I think,

334
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: mostly like high school age, right, yeah.

335
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 5: Brady's kids. I thought we were always young, you know, but

336
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: the Rivers can't. I mean Phil Rivers was having kids

337
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 5: the moment he had armpit here.

338
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think him his wife been together like forever

339
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: and having kids seven girls, three boys. He said, I

340
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: could go to.

341
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: The grocery store. I don't understand how it works. Like

342
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: that's what I don't.

343
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 5: Understand what missus Rivers is not pushing the shopping card

344
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: up and down.

345
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: There's probably some deliveries going on there.

346
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I just don't understand, like I gotta go

347
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: run to the get some eggs, like you got to

348
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: pack up two cars.

349
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: You gotta go to Costco get those things in bulk.

350
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: Man, I guess.

351
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 5: But race for this. He thinks he could outrun Peyton

352
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 5: and Brady, which I think is a ludicrous I think

353
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: if you had a forty yard dash between Phil Rivers, Peyton,

354
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: Manny and Brady, isn't Brady winning that?

355
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: You think so?

356
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: He's probably still training every days. You'd think Brady's still training.

357
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 5: Get out of the starting blocks. Looks like me the

358
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 5: Monday after the race.

359
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: But you got to understand Philip is now going to

360
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: be chasing around the grand kid. He's got a little

361
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: more training in recent.

362
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 5: Day seeing what Brady's chasing around lately. I mean, come on, man,

363
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 5: fair enough, I've been looking at that Late People magazine.

364
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: That's right, It's Fan Morning Show with kb JB, Jeff,

365
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Mark Dyton, and uh. We are coming off a big

366
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: night practice situational scrimmage. They called it last night situational

367
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: scrimmage and it is that that the way he said

368
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: the tone situational scrimmage was very situational.

369
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: But more than anything.

370
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: And I'm listening to Shane Styken afterwards, he sounded pretty

371
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: pleased with the whole thing.

372
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it was you, Kevin, who threw it

373
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: at him when it came to the why did you

374
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: do this? When's the last time you did this? And

375
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: he basically said he wanted to just give his team

376
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: a little bit of energy, a little bit of life,

377
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: and just you know, I guess put them in a

378
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: scenario that they really haven't had and the three years

379
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: he's been here, and so I thought it was a

380
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: nice change of pace. Now, obviously for our purposes, I

381
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: would prefer any practice to be earlier in the day

382
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: because we had to get up kind of early for the show.

383
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: But for what he wanted it to be, I thought

384
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: that it probably went about as well as it could

385
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: Beyond just to play on the field, the opportunity to

386
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 4: have a bunch of different scenarios, a ton of eleven

387
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: on eleven reps. You know, you do have the crowd

388
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: in there. We got some field goal kicking in there

389
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: as well with some of the you know lights and

390
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: pressure of the fans, and we saw actually Maddox Rahio

391
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: the undrafted rookie struggle yesterday and Sincer Strader. I would

392
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: say it's definitely your you know kicker one and your

393
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: starter's upcoming season. He had a fairly solid performance yesterday.

394
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: I think he only missed one kick Kevin not mistake

395
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: out of the five mass Yeah. So I I thought

396
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 4: it was an overall cool environment. And then it ended

397
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: like you all heard on the Grover Stewart audio with

398
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: a lot of fireworks that h going off right, you

399
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: know as we were doing media, like legit fireworks.

400
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: I mean, this is not that was not a half

401
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 5: assed firework attempt there. So I don't know if they're.

402
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 2: Treaking those roosters out on that farm right behind them.

403
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: Good luck to the old animals sleeping around there. But

404
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: uh yeah, twenty seven passes for Daniel Jones in starting

405
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 5: work I think it was something yeah one of there.

406
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 5: Nineteen for Richardson, I mean, those are big numbers for

407
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: those unfamiliar with how practices work. And I guess we

408
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 5: should touch on Daniel Jones James because you know, I

409
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 5: know that Richardson with uncorking that deep ball last night,

410
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: there are a couple of highlights that stand out. But

411
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 5: I would say with Daniel Jones right now, much better

412
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 5: second week than the first week. And I would just

413
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 5: I'd probably add this, and this probably goes for both

414
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 5: quarterbacks James. When's the last time either of them have

415
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 5: thrown like a super interceptible ball. I don't remember last

416
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: time either has been picked ten eleven on eleven, you

417
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: go back to Saturday. Yeah, I think so three straight practices.

418
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're neither was picked.

419
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 5: I mean that's and yeah, again we'll throw in the

420
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: caveat that deserves to be said. Last night you were

421
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: missing three of your top five corners. We can't ignore that.

422
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 5: But the question they're going to have with Jones and Richardson,

423
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 5: and there was a sequence last night that I thought

424
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 5: played into it. Jones was with the starters. They were

425
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: trying to it was a move the ball drill. So

426
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 5: you know, you get at whatever that your own twenty

427
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: year own thirty and the thought is you've got to

428
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 5: move it like a real drive in a football game

429
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones and the offense stalls out. Maybe they got

430
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: one first down, but they stall out, so they go

431
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 5: off the field. Richardson in the second unit comes on

432
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 5: the field and Richardson a couple plays into it. That's

433
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 5: when he uncorks the deep ball to Ashton Doolan. And

434
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: it was just one of these reminders. And again, I

435
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: think the Colts have had a very internal struggle with

436
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: this of what do you want to quarterback the dink

437
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 5: and dunker or the man that's at least going to

438
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: try and attempt some stuff down the field. And that's

439
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: the difference in the two quarterbacks. Really, can you live

440
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 5: with trying to create twelve play eighty yard Daniel Jones

441
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 5: type drives or do you live with you know, Adam

442
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: Dunn in the batter's box or Kyle Schwarbur in the

443
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 5: batter's box of Anthony Richardson boom or bus. Now again,

444
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: seven practices in a camp, I would say, you know,

445
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 5: the egregious misses have been a little bit quieter, but

446
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: that's I think a big time struggle they've had and

447
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: Shane Steike, and I think would be the first one

448
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: to tell you that, Well.

449
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to watch because listening to Rick

450
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: Van Turi, he said, obviously, you can't have a passing

451
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: percentage completion percentage below fifty percent like you had last year.

452
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 4: And his thought was, if.

453
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: Anthony could get it into the mid fifties this year

454
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: and just take care of the football, which is what

455
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: they did last night, That's solves a lot of problems

456
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: right there.

457
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: Doesn't it.

458
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: James Just cutting down on turnovers and moving the chains.

459
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm always fascinated about how complicated football is, then

460
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 4: how simple it is as well. You look at teams

461
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: to turn the ball over, they lose. You look at

462
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: teams that don't pass the ball very well, they lose.

463
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 4: And so obviously it's not as cutting dry as that

464
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 4: when you're back there and you're actually facing that pressure

465
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: and trying to read all the options on the play.

466
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 4: But more or less, you just cannot be like you

467
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 4: were last year if youre Anthony Richardson when it comes

468
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: to an efficiency standpoint, and Kevin we were talking about

469
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 4: it last time on the sideline. I probably was a

470
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: little bit too much into this camp last year, and

471
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: I honestly feel like I'm maybe over calibrated at this point.

472
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 4: But still, nevertheless, I don't care how you slice it,

473
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: Forty seven point seven percent is never going to cut

474
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: it in the NFL. Now we can get into well,

475
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 4: his actual real percentage is, you know, sixty two percent

476
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: if it's the on target throw, right, whatever these I mean,

477
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 4: we can make up a staff for anything. I don't care.

478
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 4: Every other quarterback deal with drops, not the greatest pockets,

479
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: you know, not having the best skill pison players. Their

480
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: completion percentage was not the worst of the NFL. It

481
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: was not the worst in frontis history. So whatever way

482
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: you do it, it has to improve from there. And

483
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 4: if it doesn't, obviously he cannot be an NFL starting

484
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: quarterback at all. I mean, that's just the bottom line.

485
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: I mean, you go back to those numbers Jeff just

486
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 5: mentioned in regards to coach Ventury versus fifty five percent.

487
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: If we just did simple math from a fraction standpoint,

488
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 5: you're talking, let's says twenty passes in a game.

489
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: We'll get granted here for you.

490
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: You're asking him to go from nine of twenty in

491
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: a game to eleven of twenty. Like when you when

492
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 5: I say that out loud, you're not asking him to

493
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 5: climb ount Everest nine of twenty to eleven of twenty.

494
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: And you do it in chunks right each game.

495
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 5: So you're asking him to have one pass be completed

496
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 5: each half that he wasn't doing. Like on the surface,

497
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 5: doesn't that not sound like the craziest ask in the world.

498
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: If you can live with fifty five. Now again, when

499
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 5: you live with fifty five, I think you have to

500
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: throw in two quick items. You can't have the turnovers,

501
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 5: and you have to have the big plays. You can't

502
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: dicondunk your way with fifty five percent, and you can't

503
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: have again, eleven of twenty with nine incompletions nine in completions,

504
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 5: can't have two of those b interceptions. So again, we'll

505
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: play that psychon audio in a little bit because I

506
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 5: did think it was probably the most I don't know,

507
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 5: one of the more honest. I think psyching has been

508
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 5: about acknowledging improvement from a particular quarterback. I don't think

509
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 5: he's usually two two candid in those settings there. So yeah, again,

510
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 5: exiting week two of camp. If you want a label,

511
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: last night, maybe the end of week two, I do

512
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: think the quarterback arrow is in a better spot. But

513
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: next week and you know, the preseason games and all

514
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 5: of that are just such true evaluations because I was

515
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: looking at the roster a whole lot last night, being like,

516
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 5: who was that corner? Alex Johnson? There's got to be three.

517
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 5: Alex Johnson's at Carmel High School right now?

518
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: Are you going to give say it's not going to

519
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: call Monday. He did say he was going to come

520
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 4: to a decision him and his staff about the quarterback

521
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: splits and who plays and all that against the Ravens

522
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: on Monday, which conveniently is a travel day, no media.

523
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 5: Availability to discuss it tomorrow.

524
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah right, yeah, so meeting today. So I just figured,

525
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: you know, I would defer to you, Kevin, to give

526
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: him the call, and if it doesn't pick up from you,

527
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: hopefully you know, I can double back and kind of

528
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: get him ring.

529
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: Ring, you know, me a lot of you know, a

530
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 5: lot of late night phone calls me and Chainstyke and really,

531
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 5: you know, breaking things down. Everybody's got their thing. That's cool.

532
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 4: It's like it's like a height club. You know, if

533
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: you're a certain height, he might give you a little

534
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: grace there.

535
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny you talk about the percentages

536
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: and how wouldn't seem to be that much, But then

537
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: you I was watching some baseball highlights throw up in

538
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: the corner while you were saying that, and I'm thinking

539
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: that I think it was the famous Crash Davis speech

540
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 2: about the difference between or maybe it was for love

541
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: of the game, whatever it was, Kevin Costum was talking

542
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: about being a three hundred hitter just over the course

543
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: of a season. You get a seeing eye ground ball here,

544
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: you get one dribbler that the guy just can't make

545
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: a play on. But what's amazing about baseball players is

546
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: of the course of their long career, and a lot

547
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: of times with quarterbacks too, guys just kind of become

548
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: who they are at a certain point. And a two

549
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: eighty seven hitter might hit two ninety five one year,

550
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 2: but it'll hit two eighty the next year, and it

551
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: just kind of evens itself out. So you need to

552
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: see a healthy year from him and a consistently better year,

553
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: and I think it's possible because of his relative inexperience

554
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: and youth. That's what gives me hope that that can happen.

555
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 5: Well, I when you say health, now you're opening up

556
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: a different can of worms. Yeah, but that's part of

557
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: the equation for right, right, But that's one that I

558
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: cannot Like. I can sit here and tell you, guys,

559
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 5: I've seen better underneath accuracy in the first seven days,

560
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 5: and I'm pretty confident in saying that. Again, I won't

561
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 5: rehash the eye doctor analogy, but I'm pretty confident in that.

562
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: But I can't play the health game with you. The

563
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 5: health game is going to be a different animal. And

564
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 5: that's one where if there are fans out there that

565
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 5: are like, I don't care that he's shown improvement, the

566
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 5: man can't stay healthy. As sad as it is. I

567
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: don't think I can counter that. You would like to

568
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: turn off injuries, but you can't, like, he has proven

569
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 5: to have injury issues. So even if all this improvement

570
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 5: is there, unless the availability all of a sudden takes

571
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 5: in one to eighty, we're largely back to square one

572
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: with them.

573
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: Well, ask Greg Greg Straw his thoughts on all these

574
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: things coming up in a moment. As we get going

575
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,040

Speaker 2: jet setting all over the place, that is Greg Rakestraw,

590
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: who joined us now on the pay Less Lookers Hotline.

Speaker 1: And welcome home to you and same to you. And

594
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: again for some hosts, me being out of the country

595
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: does not preclude them either from a having me on

596
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the air or b me texting them about our annual

597
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: trip to see a Notre Dame basketball.

598
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: There you go, ready to go?

599
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 5: Okab Yeah, So this is I don't know, maybe last Thursday,

600
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 5: last Friday, next thing, and I looked down. I see

601
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 5: Greg Rakestraw text me. I go, I swear this man

602
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 5: is an Iceland for his wife's fiftieth birthday party. And

603
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: simply the text says Vandals question mark and it's a

604
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 5: notther name non conference schedule with the Idaho Vandals game,

605
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 5: and he's trying to plan ahead with that, and I break.

606
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 5: What did I even say to you? Did I just

607
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 5: say get back to vacation?

608
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: He basically said leave me alone? And there was a

609
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: string of exceltis after that.

610
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were literally one of a kind. Greg Gragshaw,

611
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 5: if I could, could I could I start with Rake

612
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 5: or sorry? Okay, Greg Greagshaw, the great. I believe you

613
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 5: had a little tech high school action last night. I

614
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: always love a visit to that campus. Is that correct?

615
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Correct? So I missed the the truest night practice since

616
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: the Anderson University days for the Indianapolis Colts because I

617
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: had the City League finals last night. So for those

618
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: of what the City League is, City League is is

619
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of the the pro am, one of the top

620
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: pro ams in town. It's been going for several years

621
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 1: on the women's side, five years on the med's side.

622
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: I think seven, eight or nine at this point. But

623
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: like for example, the women's game was won by a

624
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: team sponsored by the Horizon League that had the three

625
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Goss sisters from Ben Davis, including Bria, who you'll hear

626
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: later tonight here on the fan. And Bria turned down

627
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: the team charter so she could fly herself to Dallas

628
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: this morning. She told me she had to be at

629
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: the airport at three forty five this morning. It was

630
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: worth her while because her team won and we're playing

631
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: for straight cash homie in this tournament. So the Horizoning

632
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: team took home six K for last night's championship win.

633
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: And then on the men's side, a team that featured

634
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Trayvon Blewett who's now playing in France obviously, Park Tutor

635
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: and Xavier Legend, Robert Glenn that played at Iupui, and

636
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: from Ben Davis Tayshawn Johnson that played a pike. They

637
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: won eight K with their victory in the men's championship

638
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: game last night.

639
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 4: Rake, I'm glad you brought up Bria because I called

640
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 4: her Bria Buckets one day when I saw her at

641
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: a Fever game. She was like, not too much, James,

642
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: you know, I don't really get down like that. I'm like, yes,

643
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 4: you do. You're not fooling me. So I'm glad to

644
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: hear that she has success out there and she's a

645
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 4: pros pro going to do her job obviously on the

646
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: road with the fever. Pivoting back to the Colts for

647
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 4: a moment, obviously, the big talk this time of the

648
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: year is the quarterback competition, and so far, my take

649
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: on it, Rake, I think that it's pretty even, and

650
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 4: if it stays this way, who do you think they

651
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 4: will lean toward.

652
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Here is the golf analogy I thought for Kevin Bowen

653
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: at the other day and it finally hit me. So

654
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it finally did literally and I said,

655
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: I've got a golf analogy in it up and left

656
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: me and now it's back. So Kevin can explain this

657
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: everybody else. I want you to think of this like

658
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup, and if it's tied, the team that

659
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: has the cup gets to keep it. So the tie

660
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: goes to the incumbent. If it is even, Anthony Richardson

661
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: will be the starting quarterback. If Daniel Jones is better,

662
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: then I think he will be the starting quarterback. To

663
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I went into camp kind of

664
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: leaning a bit towards Daniel Jones. What we've seen the

665
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: first seven or eight days, I'm kind of switching that lean.

666
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards Anthony Richardson. Has it been perfect? No?

667
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: Has it been better? Yes? You can see progress that

668
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: is being made. So again, if it's even, you're gonna

669
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: stick with the guy that was your first round pick

670
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. But if it's not, this team knows

671
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: they need to win. There's massive changes coming up for

672
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So as of what eight nine days in,

673
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: I'd say it to Anthony Richardson, it's always subject to change.

674
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 5: I need to excuse myself to the bathroomf Arry, Greg

675
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: Shawan and allergy. Geez, I'll I'll let you guys take

676
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: this from here. I'm all hot and bothered right now.

677
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about that a little bit.

678
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: They've got obviously high hopes for Tyler Warren, who made

679
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: a spectacular play last night and has been great throughout camp.

680
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: They've got a very solid wide receiver corp. They're hoping

681
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: that ad Mitchell makes a big step up this year.

682
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: And you know, mister reliable Michael Pittman Junior. All in all,

683
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: they've you know, they still got a few questions on

684
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: the right side of that line, but they've put most

685
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: of their line back together again to this point. Is

686
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: it fair to say that they've had a pretty successful

687
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: offseason in early camp at this point so.

688
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: Far, But obviously we'll start judging that a little more,

689
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, by what happens in Baltimore now. Is it

690
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: not win or lose, but you know, how the ones play.

691
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: And again, I think we will see more of the

692
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: ones because of the quarterback competition during the preseason, whether

693
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: it's first two games, all three games, whatever the case

694
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: may be. But yeah, so far, so good. Obviously a

695
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: little concerned about injuries to Jalen Jones and Juju Brnch.

696
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: At the same time, I'm not sure either of those

697
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: two guys projected starters for you. The injury roulette wheel

698
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: spins for everybody in the National Football League. It has

699
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: not gotten there to a significant or serious point yet

700
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts, so let's hope it stays that way.

701
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: Greg Greg Shaal with us here Payless Slickers Hot Line, Rake,

702
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: will you be on my TV Thursday nights? Is that correct, I.

703
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Will be on your television Thursday night. I leave for

704
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore Wednesday morning.

705
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 5: Okay, and you is that with Joe Wrights. I'm trying

706
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: to think of what the cadence is here in the preseason.

707
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: I know coach Van Terry said road games are gonna

708
00:31:59,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: be tough for him.

709
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: Correct. Rickleb with me for the home game against the Packers.

710
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: Joe will be with me for the two road games

711
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati and Baltimore.

712
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 5: Speaking of TV, a news item that I think you

713
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 5: certainly could hit on was it really took place yesterday

714
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 5: during about the nine o'clock hour, and that was Fox

715
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 5: buying about a third of IndyCar. And you know, I

716
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 5: think the future of you know, the Colts with the

717
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: ersa family, the future of the Simons, the Pate Like

718
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 5: we've kind of debated this, and I guess what do

719
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 5: you make of really something I don't know if we've

720
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 5: seen across really any sort of American sports, maybe even

721
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 5: globally in a major TV entity like Fox Sports buying

722
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 5: just a third, but I mean it is a third

723
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 5: of IndyCar here. To me, it seems to potentially address

724
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 5: one of the biggest issues IndyCar has, and that is

725
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 5: finding consistent spots on a key network and also promotional

726
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 5: and marketing stuff.

727
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Correct. I think it's absolutely massive. I think it's a

728
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: wonderful thing for the series, and it shows you how

729
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: seriously Fox is taking this. You know, obviously this year

730
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: you've got every you know race on network television, and

731
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: to me, it is as much about the shoulder programming.

732
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna have f S one and

733
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: f S two, you need content to fill it. That's

734
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: why every IndyCar Series practice is there. It's why every

735
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know Indie Next race is on there.

736
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: It's why the one hundred Days to Indie shows get

737
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: rerun sometimes on both f S one and f S two,

738
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 1: and and so that is a wonderful thing for the series.

739
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm also curious in terms of sponsor integration, you know

740
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: what that means. You know, one of the best kind

741
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: of sponsor integrations that we have seen in Indy Cards

742
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: this year is the fact that Felix Rosenquis has a

743
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: different livery each week because it's serious XM promoting a

744
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: different channel. You know, this past week was the Grateful

745
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: Dead Channel. And so do you start to see things

746
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: like that where all of a sudden, teams and cars

747
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: have some different sponsors on them because somebody bought a

748
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar Fox TV package. And I'm not saying that's

749
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: a bad thing. I think that's a very good thing.

750
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: So the fact that your television partner is now truly

751
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: your partner, I think it's a wonderful thing for the

752
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: IndyCar series. Rake.

753
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: We had a debate the other day about who would

754
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 4: be on our mount russmore of Indiana athletes, and I

755
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: want to throw that question your way, but the only

756
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: caveat I have is that they have to have been

757
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 4: born in Indiana. O kay, putting you on the spot

758
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: a little bit, But throughout all of your knowledge, who

759
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 4: would you put on that list?

760
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: Well, obviously if they're not. If born in Indiana is

761
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: a thing, you take Oscar Robertson off the mountain because

762
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: he was born in Tennessee obviously grew up in Indiana

763
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: and it's associated with it Indiana. But if if that's

764
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: the rule, then you would take him off of the mountain.

765
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: That means Larry Bird and John Wooden are obviously on

766
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: it from both a playing standpoint, a coaching standpoint, and

767
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: people tend to forget how good of a player John

768
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: Wooden was in the early days.

769
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 4: I reminded him yesterday because you know me, I grew

770
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: up watching this guy, so I had to let him know.

771
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: You know, he was also a very very good player

772
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: back in the day. I'll let you continue. You know,

773
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 4: I'm a historian, so I'm followed in your footsteps a

774
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: little bit.

775
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: Rake. All right, So now I have to think about

776
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: other people. I mean, would Don Maddingly be on there potentially?

777
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, I'm not mad at that. Now was the

778
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 4: day we hadn't thought of yesterday.

779
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: I think Randy Johnson was brought up, but again not born.

780
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: I that's true, technically born, yeah.

781
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: Correct, just just played here for a couple of years

782
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: with the Indianapolis Indians. Who else did you guys put

783
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: on there?

784
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: So I had Lauren Holliday, I went to soccer route.

785
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 4: I think you would appreciate that. Yeah, I'm trying to

786
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 4: think of some other ones. Uh was George mca he

787
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 4: was born here? Yes, he was on my list, you

788
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 4: know of people. I had Damon Bailey just because I'm

789
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 4: a high school basketball lover and I was like the guy,

790
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I've seen the stories. I've seen the video

791
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 4: over at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame that they

792
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: show you, and the fact that he got forty plus

793
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: thousand people to come watch his high school game. It's

794
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: just nuts to me. I can't even fathom that in

795
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: real life, because I was Yeah, I attended some huge

796
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 4: games recently in recent years, and obviously the Boys Final

797
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: this past year was basically standing room only over at

798
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 4: game Bridge and that's only seventeen thousand plus maybe, So, yeah,

799
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 4: that was a few that I had on my list.

800
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: KB, who do you have?

801
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'm trying to think because Mark initially, did you

802
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 5: not say Born it was you?

803
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: No, he just said Indiana period, which was a little

804
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: bit easier. Honestly, we couldn't have coaches.

805
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 3: No coaches.

806
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 5: I thought the four was rather obvious. I went Reggie Payton,

807
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 5: Oscar Larry for the four. I'm trying to think who

808
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 5: else I would have thrown in there. I thought Jeff

809
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: mentioned rick Mount. I mean, you get into the rick

810
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 5: Mount dam Bailey thing, and it's like, okay, from a

811
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 5: purely high school angle, you could go there.

812
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: The only thing I said rick Mouth is every guy

813
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: that I talked to in my age group that was

814
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: around then, that's from Indiana, lived here all life. They

815
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: all just rave about.

816
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 5: Really, I'm the first high school ever on the front

817
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: covers s.

818
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: I Rake, correct? That is correct? Yeah?

819
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know people threw again not born but

820
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 5: you know, Blake, people threw from a Mark Spitz standpoint

821
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 5: in there, just from historical standpoint. I mean, you could

822
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 5: go Gretzky if you want to get, you know, away

823
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 5: from born in Indiana.

824
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 4: I throw Jackie Young in there, Rake, just because I mean,

825
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 4: all time leady scorer for girls of boys basketball. I

826
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: believe she's a two time WNBA champion, two time gold medalists.

827
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 4: I mean, her resume is pretty incredible.

828
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: So you get if you throw in the Peyton Manning,

829
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller types because of playing here but not being

830
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: born here, then when you have to say A J.

831
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: Foyd would be part of that group too.

832
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: Yeah someone did Internet. Yeah, someone did mention aj Folly

833
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 5: to us at all. Yeah, we're gonna need him out more.

834
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 5: That's like, you know, heybut ten faces on there quickly too.

835
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: Wasn't Rod Woodson the Fort Wayne guy?

836
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: Correct? Absolutely? Absolutely? Fort Waynsnider High School?

837
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 5: Rake, Before we let you go the news cycle. I

838
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 5: don't know if it's been top of mind here lately

839
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 5: for but it's something we've definitely discussed over the last

840
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 5: like six to eight months. It was just curious where

841
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 5: we are if there are any updates on it. Where

842
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 5: are we at from like a MLS pitch with the city.

843
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: Nothing new yet, you know. I think the city has

844
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: basically said, hey, you we're gonna have a team. We'll

845
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: find a way to build you a stadium. I think

846
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: this is on the MLS side of things because I

847
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: don't think they're in a big hurry to expand. It

848
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: is already as expansive of a league as any top

849
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: flight soccer division on the planet in terms of number

850
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: of teams that play in the first division. But nothing

851
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: new and well I saw kind of a blurb in

852
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: the Star about hey, it's been fifteen months, you know

853
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: what's going on. I really think this is almost as much,

854
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: if not more so, from the Major League Soccer side,

855
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: because I think they're I think they will expand again,

856
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: but I think it's going to be at least a

857
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: couple of years down the road. So I think we're

858
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: kind of in a holding pattern there.

859
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: What is the team, tell is it thirty is.

860
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: Either twenty eight or thirty one of the two. And again,

861
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: if you give people an example, Premier League has twenty teams,

862
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: Bundesliga has eighteen teams. That's the German top flight for

863
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: those that don't know. And we're sitting at twenty eight

864
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: to thirty. So you know, our league looks like NFL, NHL, MLB,

865
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: but doesn't look like any other soccer league in the

866
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: world in terms of number of teams to play in

867
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: the first division.

868
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: Greg, always good to talk to you, Welcome back home,

869
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: and it's good to run into you again, and we'll

870
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: do it again very soon.

871
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure I see you guys.

872
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: Fantastic Friday here as we creep closer and closer to

873
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: football season, not just practices. We had a night scrimmage

874
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 2: last night for the Indianapolis Colts. Had a great discussion

875
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: earlier about the now sold out game Indiana and Illinois

876
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 2: coming up, and oh yeah, when your boys get started,

877
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: when's Notre Dame kickoff?

878
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: They the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, which I think

879
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: they've NFL or e seuse me, college Football's kind of

880

Speaker 5: turned that into a primetime weekend. Yes, so Notre Dame Miami.

00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 5: I want to say the Monday night, so the Labor

882

Speaker 5: Day game. I think that's Belichick's debut. I believe that's

883
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 5: North Carolina team. For got you went there? Yeah, so yeah,

884
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 5: I've really enjoyed our college football's kind of overtaken that

885
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 5: Labor Day weekend. The NFL has let that be, And

886
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 5: so yes, Notre Dame at the U Sunday night.

887
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: All right.

888
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: The Colt's getting ready for their first preseason game will

889
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: take place Thursday night in Baltimore. And when you turn

00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: on the radio after our pregame show, you'll hear the

891
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: next voice calling the play by play. Matt Taylor of

892
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: the Colts joins us on the Payless Liquors Hotline this morning.

893
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Matt Taylor. We had a pretty nice nighttime

894
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: scrimmage last night. What did you think of that whole thing?

895
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: Oh, indeed, we did. I thought it was awesome, I

896
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: really did. I thought it was incredibly cool idea by

897
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: Shane Stiken, great execution by the entire Cults marketing team.

898
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you went up there, you had the

899
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: sensory overload, especially at the end of practice with the

900
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: fireworks on the field, great quarterback play, eleven on eleven,

901
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: scrimmage for basically an hour and a half, you had

902
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: the occasional special teams period, and then you had a

903
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty minute fireworks show afterwards, you had the drone show overhead,

904
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: you had the cheerleaders out there. I just I thought

905
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: it was really cool. I mean, there was something up

906
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: there last night for everybody. If you're a diehard football fan,

907
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: obviously you're watching the field, if you're bringing up a family,

908
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: you've got the other stuff going on. I mean, it

909
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: was just great idea. It was wonderful. The weather cooperated,

910
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: it was cool, didn't rain. I think it's going to

911
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: become a training camp staple going forward. I thought it

912
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: was awesome.

913
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 4: So, Matt Taylor, did you feel like Eric Taylor coach

914
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: Taylor from Friday Night Lights last night when you were

915
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 4: walking out there on the field, Because I was thinking

916
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 4: to myself, this is what Matt Syrison felt like back

917
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 4: in the day.

918
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was. There was definitely like the seventeen or

919
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: eighteen year old version of myself somewhere like this, pumping,

920
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: like this is what it's all about. You, like the

921
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: student body in the stands. You know, you're looking to

922
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: see if your girlfriend's paying attention, making sure she's not

923
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: talking to another guy. You know, you're, you're, you're, you're

924
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: engaged on the sideline. Okay, what package are we in?

925
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: You know we're going to be doing the special teams

926
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: play here coming up? All right, I need to rotate

927
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: in on offense or rotating in on defense. Like, there

928
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: was a lot going on socially football wise on a

929
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: Friday night, Like it was the epicenter of your high school,

930
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, existence if you will so, it definitely reminded

931
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: me of that and all seriousness too.

932
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: Me.

933
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: I bet if you go back and talk to a

934
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 1: lot of the guys you know, in the locker room

935
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: or in this case, up at Graham Park, you know,

936
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: what was the most fun you ever had playing football?

937
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them would say under lights

938
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: Friday nights. Again, it's just a huge social setting. It's

939
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: just like the most fun you have, right, It's just

940
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: all your best friends are out there. They're either on

941
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: the field with you or they're in the stands. You know,

942
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: you're representing your school. It's just a really magical time.

943
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: And I thought last night sort of brought those vibes

944
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: back out for a lot of guys.

945
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 4: I'll throw one more your way. On a more serious note,

946
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 4: may say, but when you look at the quarterback play yesterday,

947
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 4: and I know all of our eyes gravitated toward in

948
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson's case, the downfield throws, the big time plays.

949
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: But what have you thought about his progression into in

950
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 4: the intermediate area and sort of the layup throws that

951
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 4: have I think kind of played his career through the

952
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 4: first two years.

953
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question, and I have been so

954
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: encouraged by Anthony's I don't know what the right word is,

955
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: just his presence, his maturity, his growth on the field,

956
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: off the field, I mean, he's lost the way to me.

957
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: Talked Cannon Lee the Open the other day about Hey,

958
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean I had to take myself more seriously in everything,

959
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: and that included even the diet. And he's lost ten

960
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: to fifteen pounds and he just looks slimmer in the face,

961
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: looks more trimor body wise. I think that's helping him

962
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: obviously with mobility, and I think it's playing into his

963
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: accuracy too. But what I love were the comments dating

964
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: back to the spring and then he's doubled down on

965
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: those comments that we've heard so far here in the

966
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: summertime in training camp, had I started, I had to

967
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: start taking things more seriously. I had become more intentional.

968
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: I had to do way more. And that all stemmed

969
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: from the binging last year and having to be more

970
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: intentional about what it means to play quarterback in the

971
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: NFL and become a franchise quarterback. So everything that he's

972
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: been working on is translating so far in training camp.

973
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: Now it's camp, right, you haven't played a regular season game.

974
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: There's still a lot more that he has to prove,

975
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 1: but the dividends are there. They're starting to pay off

976
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: because he's wildly more accurate this year in training camp

977
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: than he was in his first two years. In the

978
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: intermediate part of the passing game that you're alluding to,

979
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: he completing more passes over the middle to guys like Pittman,

980
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: and I think Ashton Doolan is feasting. Tyler Warren is

981
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly helping him out. But those passes are way more

982
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: on target now, and that's his biggest problem. You know,

983
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't that he couldn't run the ball or he

984
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: couldn't throw the deep ball. He was really good at

985
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: those two things, but it's just completing the passes that

986
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, ninety five percent of the other quarterbacks in

987
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: the NFL were making. That's where he needed to improve

988
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: upon his forty seven point seven completion percentage from a

989
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: year ago. So everything that he is doing to himself

990
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: mentally physically in the off season is showing up here

991
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: in training camp, and it's really good to see his maturity,

992
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: his growth, the steps that he's taking to be the

993
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback for this team and turn into the guy

994
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: that they wanted him to be when they drafted him.

995
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 5: Forth overall your seven Matt Taylor Year eight? What are

1000
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,360

1001
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 5: baby as I headed over.

1002
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,000

Speaker 1: just trying to bring people into camp and you know

1013
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,799

1017
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: It's at the end of the day, I'm trying to

Speaker 4: Well, give yourself some some promo here.

1026
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: Uh? Well, list, I'm dipping my waters into Instagram. I

1027
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: need a complete tutorial on Instagram. Instagram might as well

1028
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: be like the wild, Wild Western me, you know, like

1029
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: that's that's probably like what Lewis and Clark felt like

1030
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: when they know the CIPPI River did this this great frontier.

1031
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I'm doing. I have in

1032
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. I have a much better

1033
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: handle on Twitter. I think Twitter is pretty basic, pretty easy,

1034
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of concentrating, you know, the ex Twitter

1035
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: X stuff. But you know, yeah, Instagram is is more

1036
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: for like, you know, my fourteen year old niece. She

1037
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: she needs to give me a tutorial on what's going

1038
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: on there.

1039
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 4: You know what, Maytay I can relate. I have a

1040
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 4: god daughter who I believe is about seven years old now,

1041
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 4: and every time I see her, she is asking me, James,

1042
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 4: you know, uncle JB, can we basically do some TikTok

1043
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 4: dances and have you practiced? And I'm like, I have

1044
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: practice nothing, And so we'll go through like a ten

1045
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 4: minute tutorial of her telling me to swing my hips

1046
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 4: a certain way and she gets a kick out of

1047
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 4: me posting it on my TikTok page.

1048
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: All I know is I see mate after dark here

1049
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: it's after dark.

1050
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 5: Well it sounds like sounds like an OnlyFans account, honestly, there.

1051
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what everybody wants to see. Yeah, Dan, I mean, like,

1052
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: what the difference is between a story and a reel

1053
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: and a post and a news black what what are

1054
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: we doing? So yeah, I try to I just try

1055
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: to take take screenshots on Twitter and then just repost them,

1056
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: and even that I don't even know if I'm doing

1057
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: that right. So it's yeah, it's got a forty a

1058
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: forty year old white male, is you know starting from

1059
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: scratch here?

1060
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: Well, you've just added a new follower because I have.

1061
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 3: I have added Matt Taylor to my followers rights.

1062
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 5: Right, maye hardest position to cut down? Let's go one offense,

1063
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 5: one defense.

1064
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: Uh, that's a good question. I mean, at the beginning

1065
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: of camp, I definitely would have said corner just because

1066
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: of the depth there. You've got some really good players,

1067
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: guys that had regular season experience with other teams and

1068
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: certainly with the Colts that you might have had to cut.

1069
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 1: But now with the injuries and the uncertainty of these hamstrings,

1070
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: with Juju Prince and Jalen Jones, there's just no timeline

1071
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: on those guys coming back. So you know, hopefully with

1072
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: with Brents, for his sake individually, he's able to come

1073
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: back and just be more available for this team. That's

1074
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: been his biggest problem. And you know I've said this

1075
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, when when it comes to Juju,

1076
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: he's actually played less games than Anthony Richardson has, you know,

1077
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,959
Speaker 1: the same draft class. He's played in eleven, Anthony's played

1078
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: in fifteen. So you know, Juju only played in two

1079
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: games last year and so you know, like a lot

1080
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: of that stuff's out of his control. But you know,

1081
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like this, this train

1082
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: stops for nobody. You got to stay on the field,

1083
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: and so like that's the last thing he needed, even

1084
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 1: if it is hopefully just a little bit of a blip,

1085
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, hamstring injury, and he's able to come back.

1086
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: He's got to come back, and he's got to prove

1087
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: that he can stay consistent and again available is the

1088
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: most important thing for him. And then Jalen is a

1089
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: little bit more severe to the point where I don't

1090
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: know if they're related or not, but the Colts brought

1091
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: in a couple of veteran cornerbacks, Trey Herndon and Duke

1092
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: Shelley off the street yesterday, so you know that kind

1093
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: of complicates it a little bit more on defense. So

1094
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: still your deep, but that that depth is being tested

1095
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: right now at least because of these injuries, either minor

1096
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 1: or major. And then offensively, you know, I think wide

1097
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: receiver is still pretty pretty deep, and I still think

1098
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: you're going to be getting rid of some really good

1099
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: players that can help you. I mean, Pimman's gonna make

1100
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: the team, Pierce is gonna make the team. Down's gonna

1101
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 1: make the team. I think Mitchell's gonna make the team.

1102
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Gould's gonna make the team for special

1103
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: teams reasons. I don't know how in the world you

1104
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 1: cut Ashton Doling.

1105
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 5: As the players in the field last night, Ashton doing.

1106
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: No doubt about it, and he's had a really consistent camp.

1107
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's showing up in every way and in

1108
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, you know, for Anthony Richardson,

1109
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: like we just talked about, but he's making contested catches

1110
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: down the field and those chunk plays too. And then

1111
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: you've got some guys who I think are really good

1112
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: veterans DJ Montgomery, Lakwan Treadwell can play. They have some

1113
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: intriguing undrafted free agent guys that I think, you know,

1114
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: in the right system, maybe not with the Colts, but

1115
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: they have some upside. There's no doubt about it. They

1116
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: have really big, stocky, tall receivers. The Colts definitely have

1117
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: a type there, you know, Blaine Taylor. They have Palmer,

1118
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: the Palmer Kid out of Troy Land and excuse me,

1119
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: Landing Parker from Troy, I beg your pardon. They've got

1120
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: a kid named a Joe, a Joe from from South

1121
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: Florida who's an undrafted free agent. He's huge, So I

1122
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough to whittle that down. But

1123
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, regardless, the Cults are going to

1124
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: have a stocked receiver covered both on the active roster

1125
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: and on the practice squad based on what you're seeing

1126
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: so far from that group. And sure, I want to.

1127
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: Go back to Ashton Dueling real quick?

1128
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: Is it?

1129
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: Because I was talking about him earlier today. He's just

1130
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: always been dependable, like he's every time some of the

1131
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 2: guys get injured, he seems to step up. He's always

1132
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 2: been a plus on special teams like I just like

1133
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:14,760
Speaker 2: having guys like that around.

1134
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: No, without question, I mean, he's always been a special

1135
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: team's ace. He was All Pro a couple of years

1136
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: ago on special teams. He had that one year that

1137
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: he that he missed, and I thought the Colts felt

1138
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: that because he can do everything he can, you know,

1139
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: give you that that you know, substitution outside, inside, at

1140
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: the wide receiver spot. He can play. He's a core

1141
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: special teams guy, covering kicks, covering punts. You know, he

1142
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: had that big play Week one last year against the Texans,

1143
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: and then we just never really heard much of him

1144
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: or from him the rest of the year on offense.

1145
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: But I've always been a huge Ashton Doulan fan. He

1146
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: was a free agent at the end of the season.

1147
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: I was really glad to see the Colts bring him

1148
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: back because he's just one of those glue guys on

1149
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: the team. He's been here since twenty nineteen, one of

1150
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: the longest tenured players on offense. He's just like a

1151
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: core guy. You want to have a guy like him

1152
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: on your team. Leadership, stability, but just a jack of

1153
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: all trades, of versatility, Swiss army knife that gives you

1154
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: great value on special teams, in on offense.

1155
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 4: Last one for me and I'll let you get out

1156
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 4: of here, may say. But I had a chance to

1157
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 4: obviously follow around coach Rick Venturi the other day of practice,

1158
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 4: and it's become an annual piece that we do with

1159
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 4: the athletic where we basically watch practice with coach and

1160
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 4: let him go all out on the team, give his

1161
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 4: opinions and share stories. From someone who only does that

1162
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 4: for maybe, you know, once or twice a year, what

1163
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 4: is your life from your perspective, to work with him

1164
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 4: on a regular basis and to see his love of

1165
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 4: the game never ever, ever dissipate despite being in this

1166
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 4: almost you know, fifty plus years.

1167
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rick, I mean just he loves football, and that's

1168
00:53:54,400 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: putting it so mildly. He just eat, eats, sleeps, and

1169
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: breathe watching tape and he still attacks this job that

1170
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: he has with us, with the colet says an analyst.

1171
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: He still attacks it like he's a coach. He doesn't

1172
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: know how to do it any differently, and we wouldn't

1173
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: want him to do it any differently. So I learned

1174
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: so much about the game from him. And it's funny

1175
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: because you know, I played the game. Obviously didn't play

1176
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: anywhere near the NFL level. You know, it was a

1177
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: Division three guy, but I did. I did play the game, right,

1178
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was four year guy at the D

1179
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 1: three level. But so I have a really good understanding

1180
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: of everything that he's talking about. And I think that's

1181
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: why we get along so well, is that we see

1182
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: the game pretty much through the same prism, and it's

1183
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: just fun to have our little like inside jokes during

1184
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: the course of the game. We have our little things

1185
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: that just go back years where something will happen, either

1186
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: positively or negatively during the game, and he and I

1187
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: will just look at each other, either between a play

1188
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: or during a commercial break, We'll just give each other

1189
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: a look, and we know exactly what we're talking about

1190
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: based on you know, our excitement or our frustrations, you know,

1191
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: like things we'd like to see change, or things you

1192
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: know that are going well that we've been asking for

1193
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: for a while, just stuff like that. It's just it's

1194
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: fun to experience game day through him because of his

1195
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, forty plus years of NFL experience and covering

1196
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: all these training camps and you know, a mountain of

1197
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: research when it comes to scoring points in the red

1198
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: zone or how to get pressure on third down. He

1199
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: just he knows all of that stuff. And again, he

1200
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,479
Speaker 1: and I just kind of see the game the same

1201
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: way for for most of for most of the times,

1202
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: and it's just so fun to be with him and

1203
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: experience his frustrations. He's going to give you that that

1204
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: rictionary like we call it. You know, he's got his insight.

1205
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 1: The words that he uses that only thing I think

1206
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: sometimes I understand just as I've been working with them

1207
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: for so long, you know, like as little catchphrases. I

1208
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: pick up on those. So it's it's definitely fun to

1209
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: work with. Uh. You know, such a you know, a

1210
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 1: guy that has such great respect for the game and

1211
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: what it takes to you know, put in the Tennant.

1212
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 2: May tell you real quickly before we go, you must

1213
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 2: have road trip snack.

1214
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, shoot, I mean I'm I'm I'm a good

1215
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty easy on the road. Like I

1216
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 1: don't have to have like on the plane. Give me

1217
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: a bag of chips. Uh, you know, that'll kind of

1218
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: get me to wherever we're going.

1219
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: You know, like I had to separate I had to

1220
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 2: separate these two over Skittles earlier today.

1221
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 5: Well, let's just go Matt, are skittles overrated? Underrated or

1222
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 5: properly rated?

1223
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: Skittles are very overrated? I'm not a guy.

1224
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. You know what makes a lot take everything,

1225
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 4: everything nice you I lie.

1226
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: I guess if I do have one weakness, it's like

1227
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,720
Speaker 1: a fruit snack. And that's the problem having two kids,

1228
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 1: with an eight year old and a five year old,

1229
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: the fruit snacks are abound in my house. There are

1230
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: a plenty, and so I'm really susceptible to like the

1231
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,280
