1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: We are back. It is week sixteen of the NFL season.

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: Colts in forty nine ers Indiana Nights. I thought I

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: heard the red panda for the halftime show coming up

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: on Monday, Adam and Terry on the Anvil. I'm actually

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: a big fan of these jerseys, and I actually really

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: love the helmets as well. So, boy, it is such

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: a critical juncture of the season. We got a ton

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: to get to on today's podcast. First off, we are

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: coming to you Thursday afternoon. A little apology there, but

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, with the Monday night game, granted the first

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: time the Colts have played Monday night football in three years,

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: so we aren't really used to this. You push back

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: everything pretty much a day in the NFL calendar. So

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: just left the Colts practice field about an hour ago.

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: Their normal Wednesday through Friday cadence is now Thursday through

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: Saturday this week. So we'll come out your Tuesday next

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: week and recapping that one obviously. So, like I said,

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: a ton to get to. And we are back in

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: the bullpen. It's that time of year where we tend

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: to go to the bullpen a lot. Certainly nothing against

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison or Mark Dyton or Chris Presley or Jolly

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: mauln Arrow or Ross Lovers. But easily this is the

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: best arm we've got out of the bullpen, and certainly

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: the best looking, if I must say so myself. Prime

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Time very fitting. We have called on Matty Bowen to

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: try and get the Colts back on track. Mad's good afternoons,

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: You good afternoon.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: This is Nelly's here too, and this is the first

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: time she's hearing her dad's radio voice live.

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: And she just about jumped out of diaper when she start.

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, she did have a little startle there. It almost

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: looked like Philip Rivers, you know, hitting the old logo

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: at the fifty yard line last week in the Seattle game. Mads,

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: thank you for the time. This is a big, big

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: friction point in the cold season. So I think your

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: presence and your thoughts are needed overall twenty twenty five

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: seasons so far. What would you say, Well, I mean.

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: It's obviously been so fun and then so disappointing, And

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think a lot of people who are

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: fans just kind of have a pit in their stomach

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: right now.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: At least that's kind of how I feel.

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: So we need to win and but yeah, I mean

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: it's been it's been a really fun season obviously.

45
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Blake Groupy, I know caught your eye the other

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: day when that Colt's kicker came out there. One hundred

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: and forty eight pounds for Blake Groupie. Yeah, you know,

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: it's like a point guard on the you know, Bishop's

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Shatard girls basketball team from back in the day. But nonetheless,

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: big kick from Groupie and kicking boy. We'll get to

51
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: that with the forty nine ers. I think the forty

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: nine ers have some chinks in the armor. Ten and

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: four is wildly impressive considering their injuries, and I think

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan deserves Coach of the Year consideration. But really

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: so their special teams has just been absurdly good. So

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: we'll wait for the forty nine ers. Thoughts a lot

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: to get to quarterback wise, and Mad's let's just start there,

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: you know. From Afar, I guess should we start Richardson?

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Should start Rivers? Where do you want to go first?

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that people are wondering what in the

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: world was Anthony Richardson cleared for. I think there's some

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: confusion there and it's just so crazy. I mean, his

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: injury overall was such a crazy thing. I remember when

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: you told me about that, and I was like, he's cursed.

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding me.

66
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really unfortunate way, but probably an accurate

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: way to put it. Let's start here. You know, when

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Eddie and I recorded on Monday, we were waiting to

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: hear from Shane Steichen, and when he spoke in that

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon zoom. You know, I would say, probably the

71
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: fifteen ish questions I got asked for him, we're all

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: centered quarterback related, and you know, for the most part,

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I think Shane is very composed in these media settings.

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: I think he rarely, you know, breaks character or cracks

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: if you will, in a very demonstrative way. But I

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: did think one of the last questions it might have

77
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: been the last, now that I think about it, I

78
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: think Nathan Brown from The Star asked that By the way,

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Nathan Brown's wife made a Daniel Tiger birthday cake for

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: their four year old. Oh my god, no, so good.

81
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: No one loves Daniel Tiger more than you.

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I love Daniel Taiger. I love it and is one

83
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: of my favorites out there. And shout out to Max

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: and the Daniel Tiger episode there. But Nathan asked something

85
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: in relation to Riley Leonard, and you know in the

86
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: midst of answering that Shane Stykeen utters the phrase and

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: this is in relation to Philip Rivers. We didn't bring

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: him here to sit on the bench, I'll say that.

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: And in Shane Lingo, that to me really stood out.

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: That's like if anybody thought they were going to Riley Leonard,

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: if anybody thought they were going to Anthony Richardson anytime soon. No, no, no,

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: that's a wag of the finger from Shane Stikeen. This

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: is Philip Rivers football team on Monday night. I fully

94
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: expected to be Philip Rivers football team a week from Sunday.

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: And you know what, We'll see what happens Week eighteen

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: in Houston. Obviously. Could you imagine if the Colts were

97
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: playing for their playoff lives in Houston and it's Philip

98
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Rivers and that game gets flexed a la two years

99
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: ago when the exact reverse happened and C. J. Stroud

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: came to this city and won, And could you you

101
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: know full picture here Philip Rivers five years after you

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: were last in the playoffs and boom, He's got that opportunity. Now,

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: if you're eliminated, does that bring Anthony Richardson back into

104
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the picture. These are all things that certainly are on

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: my mind.

106
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: But like, what specifically has he been cleared for Anthony?

107
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, let's let's get there. I guess just one

108
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: final thought. This is Philip Rivers football team, and I

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: don't expect that to change anytime soon. So let me

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: start there now. In regards to Richardson, let's go over

111
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: the injury. Back on October twelfth, the bar with the

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: elastic band in the locker room before the game snaps

113
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: hits him under the right eye. It fractures his orbital.

114
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: The scar was pretty jarring to see up close today.

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean to see Anthony's scarr still so prevalent right

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: under that eye. And I think I've described the scene before,

117
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: you know on this podcast. I mean it was gruesome.

118
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean we are talking blood, significant amounts of blood.

119
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: We are talking him in an ambulance leaving the locker room,

120
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: leaving Lucas Oil Stadium.

121
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: Have they confirmed that his vision is okay?

122
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: Well? No, well, I guess they've confirmed that it's not okay.

123
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 3: Ohmed, his visions.

124
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know shames, I can use the phrase

125
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: today limitations with vision. Oh. From what I have gathered,

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: this is a he's got some scarring on the eye

127
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: and it's causing some impaired vision.

128
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

129
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: That could heal at some point, but there are some

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: questions about that healing, and that healing might not occur

131
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: until the calendar reads twenty twenty six. Now, the last

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: thing I try to do is compare myself to anybody

133
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: in a professional sports setting. What I have gathered is

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: and mads. You obviously see me wear glasses. You know

135
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: you know this full well. If I'm playing golf, could

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: I play golf without my contacts in?

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: I don't think.

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: That's a good comparison, though. I think you have to

139
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: think could you play golf with an eye patch on?

140
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: He has one good eye right?

141
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, no no, this is not like he's

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: blind in one eye. There is some impaired vision in

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: the other eye. So could you go out there and again,

144
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: could you play golf with whatever one contact in or

145
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: none in? Yes, it's not ideal. You're squinting for four hours.

146
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: Probably you're certainly squinting on the sea box of every

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: part three, but you could do it. Unfortunately, this isn't

148
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: a case where you just pop in a contact or

149
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: you do something with his visor. He said today, I'll

150
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: wear the same visor that I've always worn. So there

151
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: is some sort of impaired vision. Now again, we all

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: go through life and there's different levels of vision here,

153
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: and you're able to function at some level. Obviously, having

154
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: great vision as a quarterback is paramount, and you can

155
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: insert Anthony Richardson accuracy jokes here. I will choose not to,

156
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: but certainly you have questions, and I think that is

157
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: a key ingredient to him getting back to practice. How

158
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: much is your vision?

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: He would be back out there.

160
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: If I have gathered. If it wasn't for vision, he

161
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: would be cleared. From an orbital standpoint. Remember there's two

162
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: things here, and this is much more about vision than

163
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: it is orbital. The bone is healed. This is more

164
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: of can you function playing quarterback in the NFL with

165
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: whatever vision you are currently dealing with? Got So, I

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: think that's where we're at with Richardson, and that's what

167
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: he's about to find out. You know, if you want

168
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: to get technical, I believe that the the vision issues

169
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more peripheral vision, and it's not from

170
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the blind side, you know, from a right handed quarterback.

171
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: This is the right eye, so you know he is

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 1: looking in that general direction more so than it would

173
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: be you know, from the blind side. But I mean again,

174
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: this is a very serious injury. He easily could have

175
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: lost his vision in this And I think one thing

176
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: we have to keep in mind too, I am not

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: very familiarized with many quarterbacks dealing with this sort of injury,

178
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: particularly vision. You know, people have brought up before Reggie

179
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Miller actually suffered an orbital fracture back in the day.

180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: We've seen guys, you know, in a basketball set and

181
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: they just mask it up. But again, this is orbital

182
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: plus vision and vision more than orbital. If we're gonna

183
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: get technical on it, which that's not what you want.

184
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Bones heel right vision might not, retinas might not. You

185
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: know it Just so I think that covers everything Richardson related. Now,

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, does he get through a week of practice

187
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: and does all of a sudden they say, hey, he's

188
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: throwing the ball fine, and he's reading coverage is fine.

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: And you know how many team reps is he getting.

190
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: That's a question I have as well. You know, I

191
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: think in the NFL setting, Phillip's getting all the starting reps,

192
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: Ryley Leonard's getting all the scout team reps are at

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: least the majority, and then you're sprinkling Anthony n Again,

194
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: how much can you really judge here in these practice

195
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: settings over the next couple of weeks. I'd assume next week,

196
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: for example, they'd only have two practices coming off the

197
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Monday night game, short week going into that Jacksonville game.

198
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll go back to what I said earlier.

199
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: I Philip Rivers starting this week. Ryle Leonards the backup

200
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Anthony will not be dressed on Monday. And I have

201
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: continued skepticism about him, you know, pushing that one or

202
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: two in the depth chart. Now once he is clear,

203
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: to my opinion, and maybe the short the yardage package

204
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: doesn't need pristine twenty twenty vision, you know, can you

205
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: run it on third and one and fourth and one?

206
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Because remember the Colts on encountered that one time in

207
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Seattle and Jonathan Taylor got stuffed and it was a

208
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: false start. So for me, that is something that I

209
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: think they need to explore, whether it's Riley Leonard's legs,

210
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: whether it's Anthony Richardson's legs. You need someone that can move.

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 3: Not Philip.

212
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: He can't move. I mean, if you don't laugh, you're

213
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna cry. I know. I said, he's Tim Allen and

214
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Do you like that or no? Is that

215
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: a good analogy? What would how would you just what?

216
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: Well?

217
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: Based off his physique, Well, Tim.

218
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: Allen and Santa Claus Is physique really fluctuates. That's part

219
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: of the movie.

220
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm talking, you know, after he does the

221
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: little you know voice inflection with the old gut there

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: you Philip Rivers in the backyard right now, who's wonning

223
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: a foot race?

224
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, hopefully Philip Rivers. But that would be so

225
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: satify won that. But yeah, he I mean, there's just

226
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: I had this vision of him sort of fumbling backward,

227
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: not fumbling the wrong word, but just sort of stumbling

228
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: backwards at one point in one of the play's last game,

229
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: and I was just like, I looked at my dad

230
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my.

231
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Gosh, Yeah that was sad. Yeah, that was sad. But

232
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: all right, shout out to Philip Rivers. Let's transition a

233
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: little bit there to the River's side of it. You know,

234
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: obviously the big thing for me is just again, how

235
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: are you creating chunk plays? Particularly, you know, those plays

236
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: of fifteen yards or more. You know, I was crunching

237
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: some numbers earlier this week. If you look at the

238
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: Colts touchdown drives this season, and I took out all

239
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: the drives that started on the plus side of the fifty,

240
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Basically all those turnover drives you know, cam buying them

241
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: in in Germany or you know, a lot to tipping

242
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: the Mahomes pass up in the air in the Chiefs game.

243
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: Basically all the drives that were over fifty yards, every

244
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: single touchdown drive but one. I think it was like

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: thirty five to thirty six, thirty six to thirty seven.

246
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: So basically all of them had to play of at

247
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: least fifteen yards in it. It is interesting line impossible

248
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: in today's NFL to grind out these seventy yard scoring

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: drives that are four yards here, three yards there, seven

250
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: yards there. You got to hit a chunk. Yeah, And ironically,

251
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: if you look at Sunday, the one touchdown drive they had,

252
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: they hit one of those two chunks. They only had

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: two of them the whole game season low by far.

254
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: One of them was Tyler Warren for seventeen that ended

255
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: in Josh Down's touchdown. By the way, do you remember

256
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,239
Speaker 1: the Pacer game when you didn't recognize Josh Downs. Yeah,

257
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: can you tell that story?

258
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: They were just sitting right behind us. It was Alec

259
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: Pearce and Josh Downs. And Alec is just so easy

260
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: to like. I just feel like people know what he

261
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: looks like. He has like a very unique look to him.

262
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: And so I recognized him and I asked you who

263
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: he was with, and you were like, are you serious?

264
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: No, you went selfie with Alec Pearce and Josh Downs

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: like had to get out of the way, like he

266
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: was like he was a nobody. That's right. I know

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: that might have been one of your lower moments.

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: It's hard when they always have their helmets on it.

269
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: I just feel like, I don't know Alec Pierce just

270
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: he just is such a unique looking guy. I just

271
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: always know what he looked like. But now I'll never

272
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: forget what Josh Towns looks like.

273
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Gosh, it probably sums up the season Josh Downs has

274
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: frankly had. By the way, I did not see Josh

275
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Downs at practice today, so that will be one injury.

276
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I think to keep an eye on moving forward. So again,

277
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: how can Rivers create that? You know?

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Is it that you should post that picture on your

279
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: Instagram for people who want to see it.

280
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. Josh Downen's a good quote in the

281
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: locker room. I need to stay on the good side

282
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: of him here.

283
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: I think eventually I got one with both of them.

284
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure Josh downs is really happy about that

285
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: over time. Is there anything more in the arm of Rivers?

286
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I just I'm just so skeptical of that. You know,

287
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: can you hit more of the downs you know double

288
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: moves that obviously he missed on Sunday one of those.

289
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like a broken record with Pierce,

290
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: But you know I've said it for years. Good things

291
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: happen when you target him. I would target him every quarter.

292
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: I would targeteers every quarter down the field. And let's

293
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: say it's four targets, he catches one of the two

294
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: and one of the other two goes to a pass

295
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: interference penalty and boom, that's a fifty success rate on

296
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: a thirty forty yard play. And that's because al Peers

297
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: is a special talent. So how do the Colts tap

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: into that a little bit more? I think those will

299
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: be things to watch. So, you know, that's probably everything

300
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Rivers related for me. You know, San Francisco is a

301
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: team that you know, we're talking Robert Sala, We're talking

302
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley, We're talking a very vanilla defense. They're the

303
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: worst sack team in the NFL. Tennessee gashed him on

304
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: the ground last week over six yards per carry. So

305
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot I think, to like on paper about

306
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: the Colts doing something a little bit more. Here the

307
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: question becomes with a banged up offensive line, which I

308
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: want to get to. You know, how much can you

309
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: do with Uncle Phil? Do you think he can throw

310
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: the ball more down the field? I? I do.

311
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: I mean there's just this big part of me that

312
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: trusts him for whatever reason, and I think it's super

313
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: cool that he, you know, is back and challenging himself.

314
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: And there's just okay, now you gotta separate yourself. Are

315
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: you talking the movie you're on the couch watching the

316
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: movie on Friday night, or are you talking an NFL

317
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: football game? Because those are two different things.

318
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think everyone here knows that I'm not an

319
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: NFL commentator and that I probably leave with my heart

320
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: more than my head.

321
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, because you gotta win games.

322
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that there's just something about a

323
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: person who is seasoned, who can, you know, trust themselves

324
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: and not take it too seriously.

325
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: I can't. I feel like it was one of the

326
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: who's the Cincinnati.

327
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Quarterback Joe Burrow?

328
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said something recently in some press conference like

329
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: or nos after a game, you know, we get to

330
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: go out there and play a kid's game for our

331
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: adult jobs or something, And you know, I think that

332
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: that's right, and I don't. I think there's like a

333
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: level of taking it seriously but also just having this

334
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: confidence and I think that translates to balls being thrown in.

335
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

336
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into a couple other injury items before

337
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: we talked forty nine ers. In transition to twitter questions,

338
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: we will see about Bernard Ryman. It was I tweeted

339
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: out a picture of Ryman today early in practice. By

340
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: the time we left practice, whatever was on his elbow

341
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: was even bigger. He had some sort of you know,

342
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: robo cop looking think he does not look like a

343
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: dude that's gonna play football on Monday night. I guess

344
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: that's probably how I would say it.

345
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: And you played last week.

346
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: He played last week, got hurt in the game. So

347
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: let's talk off as a line for a second. You

348
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: could continue to run out the same group you did

349
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: to end the game. That was Luke Tnuda left tackle,

350
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: filmed in for Ryman, Quentin Nelson at left guard, Tanner

351
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: bordolliniate center, and then the right side combination of Matt

352
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Gonzalvez in Jalen Travis. I am curious though, do they

353
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: opt for the best five? Now? I say that in

354
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: quotes best five, But is this where Dalton Tucker, who

355
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: started seven games at right guard for you last year,

356
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: could he slide into the starting I know, now that's

357
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot of musical chairs, which I think naturally probably

358
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: frightened some people. But is that Matt Gonzalez now back

359
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: over to right tackle where he started eight games last

360
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: year for Braden Smith, And then you'd switch Jalen Travis,

361
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: the rookie who didn't do a whole lot of left

362
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: tackle in the offseason, but you would put him on

363
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: the Rivers blind side. So that I think you're looking

364
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: at those two options, and part of me thinks the

365
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: musical chairs is a little bit more at play here

366
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: and maybe everyone realizes. So just something to keep an

367
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: eye on here.

368
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 3: Why don't people realize how at play the musical chairs is?

369
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Well? I think the five that ended last week, for

370
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: the most part, did a nice job. And I think

371
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: the thought is Jalen Travis has drilled a little bit

372
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: more at right tackle, keep him there. Gonzaldez has done

373
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: the right guard thing all year. Basically, do you replace

374
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: one spot which you kind of just you know, collateral damage. Okay,

375
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: it's one spot. It might not go very well, but

376
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: it's just one versus do you strive for a little

377
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: bit more? Hey, we think this is our best five,

378
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: but you're moving three people. You know they always say

379
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line's a fist, you know, it's like, you know,

380
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: it's more of that. Hey, we need every As soon

381
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: as one cracks, everyone's cracking. So I'll be interested to

382
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: see again San Francisco's front is. I mean, this San

383
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: Francisco defense, good luck naming people on it. Can you

384
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: name anybody on the forty nine ers?

385
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: Well, you know the wag? Do you do know what

386
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: WAG stands for?

387
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: No, you don't know what I mean.

388
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: Have you heard it?

389
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: No, this is the lag in a golf swing wag.

390
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's so surprising to me. It's wives and girlfriends.

391
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: Oh so, wives and girlfriends of sort of a cloaquial

392
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: term for the wives and girlfriends of athletes, of professional athletes.

393
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: All right, tell me more. And so.

394
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: You know the ultimate wag is Taylor Swift. But there's

395
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: a really popular wag who is attached to I think

396
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: a forty nine ers player. Yeah, Christian McCaffrey. Oh yeah, yeah,

397
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: uh he has a famous girlfriend.

398
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Yes, her name again, Olivia, Yeah, very attractive correct.

399
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and they just have they just had a

400
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: little baby too.

401
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: Really.

402
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I know Christian McCaffrey.

403
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Anybody else I'm the forty nine ers, Yeah no, but

404
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: I can name some more wags.

405
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: Now, what's the guy's name who barely is in the NFL,

406
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: But you've brought up his wife lately and she just

407
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: broke up with them.

408
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alex Earl. She's really famous. She was just one

409
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: dancing with the stars. Yeah, Barrios, right, yeah, she was

410
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: attached to Braxton Barrios.

411
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: Who is I think on Houston.

412
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: Any wags for the Colts.

413
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: No, I mean, yes, there are, like they're you're considered

414
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: a wag if you're attached to any Oh okay, but no.

415
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: No, any any upper quartile wags. To quote Jim Mercy,

416
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I don't think Mattie Bow and

417
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: find her on Instagram Colts wags and you can have

418
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: a word with her.

419
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, well not many, not many people want to

420
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: live in Indianapolis.

421
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: So well, come on now, tell that's a Sauce Gardner

422
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: and his significant other.

423
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: True, she's kind of famous, she's kind of a wag.

424
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's really famous. Right, yeah, yeah, all right, let's

425
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: transition forty nine Ers and Colts here coming up on

426
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: Monday night again six and a half. The spread here, like,

427
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: how good are they?

428
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: Like?

429
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: That is a legit question. Their defense, like I said,

430
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: very nondescript, awful stop in the run, awful getting out

431
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: of the passer. You know, if you look at their stats,

432
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: it's nothing eye popping offensively and defensively. The craziest stat

433
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: is special teams. I mean, if you look deep into

434
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: the analytics, they are absurdly better than their opponent on

435
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: special teams. They have not missed a field goal all

436
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: year and their opponents have missed not is that not

437
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: just luck? I mean, obviously having a good kicker is something,

438
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: but like your opponent missing nine field goals, I mean

439
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: that's just let's just luck, right, Yeah, Eddie Pinero is

440
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: their kicker. Colts injury report has come out for today.

441
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's long. What are they going this background?

442
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: That might be Indiana Knight's thing? Okay, the d NPS

443
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, Anthony Gould is still out. Jermaine Pratt personal, okay,

444
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: he was wantedn't catch there. Bernard Ryman, of course I

445
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: mentioned Josh Down's is also personal. Wow too personal. Hope

446
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: everything was good with the Downs family and the Pratt family.

447
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: Richardson was limited officially. Where's Buckner? Buckner was full? So

448
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: that yeah, so I think Buckner's gonna play wrist injury

449
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: for Quentin Nelson. But he was full, so nothing too bad.

450
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: They're a mire Abdullah on the injury report. That's gonna

451
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: be the first time all year he was full of

452
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the knee. So okay, So your DNPS Down's personal, Pratt personal,

453
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Gould does missed what two in a row? Probably, and

454
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: then Sauce Gardner remains out. You know again, tomorrow will

455
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: be the big day for Gardner. I just is two

456
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 1: practices enough November thirtieth. It is the last time we

457
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: saw him, you know, on the field of that strained calf.

458
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: I always felt Jags more than forty nine ers again

459
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: short week next week, but that would be something to

460
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. A couple other forty nine ers notes.

461
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: We'll see about Ricky Piersoll. Kyle Shanan said he was

462
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: not practicing Wednesday, could practice later this week. Hasn't ruled

463
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: him out yet, but again they have just been decimated

464
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: the injuries. Rock Party, that's their quarterback. Do you know

465
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: Rock Perty?

466
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: I totally know who that is.

467
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: How do you know him?

468
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: He's like kind of just in the zeitgeist, like he's

469
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: like a pretty devout Christian, right.

470
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I really don't know much about him. Yeah, seventh

471
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: round pick out. I will say that's about it, And

472
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: I think.

473
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: People think he's cute.

474
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: Who is the hottest dude in the NFL? Oh my gosh,

475
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea it was Travis Kelsey attractive?

476
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know who the hottest dude

477
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: in the NA I would have to think sort of

478
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: long and hard about I.

479
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: Got twenty minutes to go here, so I mean people

480
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: are listening here. I mean, I don't think you're coming

481
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: back on the pod anytime soon here, so I mean

482
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: you got to make sure you're able to provide an answer.

483
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: Perty Again, He's missed what eight games, seven games something

484
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: like that. Kittle missed five. Nick Bosa tears his ACL

485
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: in week three. Fred Warner, you know, awful looking injury

486
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: in week six. I mean, it is remarkable, the Brandon

487
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: Ayuk drama. It is remarkable how banged up they have been,

488
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: and yet here they are at ten and four. Again,

489
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: the defense very simplistic. It was funny. I was chatting

490
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: with an NFL assistant the other night, and you know,

491
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: he was mentioning if I was facing Rivers, I'd go

492
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: in the drop eight mode. And I think it's interesting

493
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: how people will view Rivers now after a week of tape.

494
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: He does look a little, you know, and he's always

495
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: been this way, but he's a little jittery back there.

496
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: It's a little I got to get rid of this ball. Well,

497
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: if you're only rushing three, is he naturally going to

498
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: be like that? And yet if you have eight now again,

499
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: you drop eight in his own I have a feeling

500
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: he'll pick you apart. But still I think it'll be

501
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 1: really interesting how a team with some familiarity with them

502
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: and Gus Bradley, how they do go about attacking him.

503
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Anything else? Forty nine ers wise, Mads, you've got before

504
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: we transition here to Twitter questions. Nope, ready one other

505
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: note playoff chances. So I believe if I had this right,

506
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: I don't think the Colts can be eliminated from the

507
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: playoffs until Week eighteen. And I think I've hinted at

508
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: this the last couple of weeks. The Colts are in

509
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: a much better playoff situation than I think people realize.

510
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: When you see these percentages that they pop up there

511
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: a lot of times they are factoring in the Colts situation,

512
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: i e. Their third quarterback. You just purely went off record,

513
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: and how the opponents schedules look the rest of the way.

514
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: I really think the Colts have a chance to make it. Now.

515
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: You gotta win two, that's probably the biggest question. You

516
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: gotta win two or three, and again, if you really

517
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: want to win two of them, those would be the

518
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: final two games Jacksonville and Houston. Here and they have one.

519
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: I think multiple games in a row. I guess games

520
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: in a row should say in the Stike and era

521
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: in December January. I think they could be eliminated from

522
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: the AFC South this weekend. I believe that would be

523
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: a Jacksonville win over Denver, which obviously is no guarantee,

524
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: and then the Colts would also lose your cheering interest

525
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: for this weekend. You want Cowboys over Chargers, you want

526
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: Raiders over Texans, you want Broncos over Jags. You want

527
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: Browns over Bills. So you know on paper, Brown's over Bills,

528
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Raiders over time, I mean Raiders over Texas is the

529
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: one you want. You want black Hole Unite. You need

530
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: the big time cults nation here, So I think that

531
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: probably covers everything. We got a big playoff article up

532
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: on the website, one of seven fivethan dot com, so

533
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: check that out.

534
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: I texted a pod listener, a devout pod listener.

535
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: Also you cared to name dropper?

536
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, my sister, and okay about there you go about

537
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: the hottest guy in the NFL, because she's just more

538
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: plugged into that, and I and I also googled it,

539
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: and she and Google said the same thing.

540
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: Which is Jalen Hurts.

541
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Really yeah, wow, I did not know that is Is

542
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: there any wag with mister Hurts.

543
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: I believe he's married, but I don't. I don't know

544
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: that she's She's not like famous in her own right.

545
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 2: She also said a lot of people would probably say

546
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: justin Herbert and then.

547
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Oh, when I've seen his significant other, she definitely can

548
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: draw some eyes.

549
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I also agree with Jimmy Garoppolo. Really yeah,

550
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: he just looks hot in this picture.

551
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: I just giggled. Yeah, yeah, he's always been out there,

552
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy g Matthew Stafford's backup right with with with the

553
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: rams h. I think it was a rumor, you know,

554
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe the Colts had some interest in him. Now you

555
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: you always like matt Ryan, didn't You always felt like

556
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: he was attractive?

557
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I don't know.

558
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: Oh really changed? Well, you saw him play quarterback for

559
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: the Colts and then you changed.

560
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: Probably he also just seems kind of old now, although

561
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: he's probably is he our age?

562
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 3: Is he younger than us?

563
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: He's not younger. No, he's not younger. And now he's

564
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: got to be close to forty. Yeah, we're getting we

565
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: got Twitter questions. Can you pull those up. I know

566
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: we got a couple here. Then we'll give a Colts

567
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: forty nine ers picks out there here. I think we're

568
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: done talking about the attractiveness of the NFL players.

569
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what you get when you bring me on

570
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: the pod. Okay from John? With QB uncertain for next

571
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: year and beyond, is it possible that Anthony Richardson gets

572
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: the fifth year option as a hedge that one AR

573
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: might still develop and two DJ may not recover. How

574
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: could you see this problem working out here? I can't

575
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: recall a single running capable QB that has come back

576
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: and played to prior level year one?

577
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: Can you, well, John? I hear you out. Boy, that's

578
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: an expensive hedge. I mean the fifth year option I

579
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: want to say, is twenty two million. Till again, just

580
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: go over everything with Richardson, He's under contract for next year.

581
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: The fifth year option you have to pick up sometime

582
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: this offseason. And boy, are you doing that with no

583
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: first round pick? I don't. I just can't see the

584
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: Colts doing it. And I think the Colts really feel

585
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: like which one says the chance to be ready week one?

586
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: I do? I mean, I get the Achilles recovery history,

587
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I get maybe some skepticism there, but

588
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know this Richardson marriage. It seems just like

589
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: a just like a junior high relationship. Not only have

590
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: the fan base views Richardson, but almost how the colts

591
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: field It's like, you know, you just never really know,

592
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: and it just seems so volatile and so up and down.

593
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: So I don't see it, John, So I'd be surprised

594
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: if the fifth year option was was picked up again.

595
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: Top five pick, former quarterback. That's expensive. So I'm gonna

596
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: say no on that.

597
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: This is something you touched on already a little bit.

598
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: This is from Salvador. If Sauce Gardner is not available

599
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: again for this forty nine Ers game, who do you think.

600
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: Should be the CB two for the team? Jonathan Edwards

601
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: Cameron Mitchell?

602
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: What is CB two?

603
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: Don't ask me questions, you know, I don't know answers.

604
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's important, you know, anytime we have

605
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: the cornerback. I mean you asked me wags earlier. I

606
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: think it's fine to ask cornerback to cornerback to.

607
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: Jonathan Edwards Cameron Mitchell. Can they activate Mike Hilton because

608
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: I think Jalen Jones will not be keep up the

609
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: great work. Soludos from Monterey, Mexico to you and all

610
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: your team. And also I missed that John earlier said

611
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: thanks again and Mery Christmas.

612
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: A little mexicoll action there.

613
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: You love to see it.

614
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: You've been in Mexico much? Well, we went, Yeah, we

615
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: went Jack Lupo's wedding, right mm hmmm.

616
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: And then yeah I went a couple times before that

617
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: for work stuff.

618
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Would you do the would you let your would you

619
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: let Rosie Bowen go there for a high school screen break?

620
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: That's a huge conversation.

621
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: But well, for the record, yeah, I'm with you. It

622
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: frightens me, honestly, keeps me up and night makes me

623
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: think I need a second hair transplant. Boy, that's a

624
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: great question, salvad Or. You know, when you look at

625
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: the cornerback group. I was really surprised to see how

626
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: the snap count played out in Seattle. First off, I

627
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: know I've said this before, but why isn't Kenny Moore

628
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: just playing every snap like like what? I don't know.

629
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: I honestly I probably should ask Leuan Romo that, Like,

630
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I get he's maybe a better nickel than outside,

631
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: But I just think he's a better outside option than

632
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: some of these other guys that you just list. It

633
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: was I think it was Black Minu at sixty Snaps

634
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Edwards had forty five, and I want to say Mitchell

635
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: had a good amount as well, and Jayalen Jones didn't

636
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: have that many. And I get Jalen Jones got torched

637
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: a couple times in Jacksonville, and I've been more of

638
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: a Jalen Jones guy certainly here. But I boy, I

639
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: guess if there's good news, San Francisco's wide out core

640
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: is not very dynamic. We'll see about pearsall, you know. Obviously,

641
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: Nico Collins awaits in week eighteen. You would hope Sauce

642
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: Gardner is back for that. Mike Hilton, Yeah, I don't

643
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: get the no he's not. I think Daniel Scott they've

644
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: opened up his window as safety, but Mike Hilton's still

645
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: an injured reserve from Mason.

646
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're getting a million ar pod questions, but

647
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: by not playing him these next three games, it feels

648
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: like the organization is telling us they already have Because

649
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: if they truly believe there's still something there, why wouldn't

650
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: you get him reps right now once he's cleared. At

651
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: this point, it's suggest one of two things. One they

652
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: genuinely don't think Richardson is an upgrade over a forty

653
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: four year old off the street quarterback who physically can't

654
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: push the ball more than twenty years twenty yards anymore. Two,

655
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: they're actively avoiding the risks of Richardson making one or

656
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: two off platform.

657
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: Back foot eighty yard.

658
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: I like place that suck the front office or fan

659
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: base back into believing again. To me, the whole thing

660
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: gives off major break up with your girlfriend and immediately

661
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: blocker numbers so you don't get tempted after a few

662
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: beers vibes if you're really done.

663
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: This is exactly how you'd act. Mason has some feelings.

664
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you like Mason, I can tell right, you

665
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: enjoy the expression of feelings, correct. Yeah. The blocking of

666
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: a number, I don't know if I've ever resorted that.

667
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: Do you think anyone has my number block? Do you

668
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: think anyone's ever viewed me in that light?

669
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure all of us are blocked by someone.

670
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Uh. It is interesting how I think Steichen has overall

671
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: had this change, and I get you know, injuries that

672
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: played into this of like the shift from must create

673
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: big plays, must find someone that can do that, do

674
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: it on his own, et cetera, et cetera. You know,

675
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: that was a general thought with Richardson too. I want

676
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: someone that speaks my language. I want someone that I

677
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more in control with. And again,

678
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: you sacrifice some of the big plays, but you probably

679
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: gain methodical you gain higher floor. Are you more higher floor, higher.

680
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: Ceiling, higher ceiling.

681
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, which, again that's the debate right now, is that

682
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: the best option with with Rivers? So I you know,

683
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: I think I laid out Richard, it's health. Let's start there.

684
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: I think there's legitimate questions about again where he's at

685
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: from a health standpoint, but I think right here, right now,

686
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Shane is all in on this. I want someone that

687
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, can speak when I'm speaking Monday through Saturday

688
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: and do it Sunday.

689
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, there was.

690
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: Even a part of that that was said when he

691
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: you know, picked Jones for QB one.

692
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I I think that is a great point. Yeah, certainly.

693
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Garrett, I've told people I don't watch regular TV

694
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: shows that much because I watch sports. Sounds like you,

695
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: but the last few seasons of Colts football have felt

696
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: like a soapbox drama. Is there another team that has

697
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: dealt with more events internally to make their franchise feel

698
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: like reality TV show more than the Colts Since twenty eighteen,

699
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: Whether it be Jeff Saturday, rivers, the QB carousel, or

700
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: backward passes from rookie wide receivers, it feels like nothing

701
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 2: is ever normal.

702
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and Eddie.

703
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: I like wonder this too. I mean, I think maybe

704
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 2: I said like that. Sports have come across my desk

705
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 2: more in the last couple of years since I've done

706
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: the pod, which is why it's exciting to be back here.

707
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, I agree with Garrett. It feels like

708
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: there's always something to talk about to Other people feel

709
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: like this if they're fans of their own teams, yeah,

710
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: if you're like more in it.

711
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. I do feel like when you're in

712
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: the bubble. There's a level of it across the NFL,

713
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think back to I think it was

714
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: Listener Sean last week that did send us in the

715
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: message of all I want from my fan, all I

716
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: want from the teams that I root for is for

717
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: them to not embarrass me. And I feel like that's

718
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 1: the only thing the Colts have done for the last decade. Yeah,

719
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: and that's obviously jarring. And you know, again we're not

720
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: used to it. I mean, Mads, you and I grew

721
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: up in this market. You and I are the same age.

722
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: Our formative years began at whatever, eight or nine years

723
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: old and Peyton Manning was drafted and we were nine. Yeah,

724
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: so think about that. I mean, we are only used

725
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: to really into our you know, post college years, consistent winning.

726
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean two or three seasons that weren't January football,

727
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: which is unusual. That is not the norm now since

728
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: then again, the Colts are in what I think there's

729
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: only like three teams in the NFL that have a

730
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: longer playoff drought than the Colts currently, and obviously the

731
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: division title drought is you know, well documented. So I

732
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: think there's an element of there is some level of

733
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: drama everywhere. I do think the Colts probably rank a

734
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: little bit more up there than most recently, but I

735
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: think some of it is bubble related. Would you rather watch?

736
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: I think the NFL is the greatest reality series. Would

737
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: you rather watch the NFL? Or watch Mormon Wives.

738
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, you know, probably Mormon Wives if I'm alone.

739
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: But the NFL, if it's like the family's around, there's

740
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: like it's very viby. I like having I like having

741
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: sports on in the in the background always. But yeah,

742
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: I like that that question, Garrett, And if you have kids.

743
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: The only thing that gets me through when I think

744
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: about how this big drought is that the law of

745
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: averages means that it'll be really fun for our kids

746
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: when they start caring about sports.

747
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: What about the kids of the Cleveland Browns or the

748
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets? Have they always been pernial losers?

749
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 3: Really?

750
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, well, I guess that disproves my theory. Okay

751
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: from Gary and Craig or Gary slash Craig. If we

752
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: don't win this week, what could possibly be the purpose

753
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: of playing Rivers after that?

754
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a popular question, and Gary Craig both

755
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: Cynthi's in. I got several of these. Again, you are

756
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: not eliminated this week even with the loss, so that

757
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: means you will at least play two of your final

758
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: three games without elimination. I don't think they turned to

759
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: someone other than Rivers until they're eliminated, and maybe not

760
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: even then. As crazy as that sounds, I didn't bring

761
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: him here to send them on the bench. Let's go

762
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: back to that quote. But having said that, boy, if

763
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: Rivers does struggle or there is a lack of just

764
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: more of the dinosaur offense, was that a Nelly burp?

765
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: Dear Lord, dear Lord, we'll spit up here from Nelly Bowen.

766
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: Nelly has seen what one Colts win in her six year,

767
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: six weeks.

768
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 3: Yes, but she's seen a lot of IU wins.

769
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Matty Bowen tears in the eyes ten seconds

770
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: into the Mendoza Heisman speech the other night. There, you know,

771
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to temper my expectations quarterback wise. I would

772
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: like to see again some short yardist wrinkles. Let's just

773
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: start there. Even if you're going to do the Rivers thing,

774
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: I think some short yardist wrinkles is needed, would be

775
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: healthy for this offense, would offer a little bit more

776
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: of a dynamic element. Frankly, I think when you do

777
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: that and you're successful, it brings a little juice to

778
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: the football team, like when you I think Richardson did

779
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: provide that. Obviously, he had other issues as as as

780
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But like when you're able to pick those

781
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: plays up, particularly when you do it with the quarterback,

782
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: I think it brings a little life and and and

783
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: bring some of that to the to the table. Here.

784
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: It looks like we got a few more questions we'll

785
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: get to and then we'll give our picks.

786
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 2: Okay, this is from Jamie another interpersonal question. I'm loving

787
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 2: these questions. Do you believe Shane's friendship with Rivers would

788
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: make it impossible to make a change at QB?

789
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 3: Say, if ar is healthy?

790
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, friendship is certainly there, but I think it's

791
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: an insane belief and he will do what I want,

792
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: and I think there's just some some scarness from Anthony Richards.

793
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: I asked that question today to Shane. If healthy, will

794
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Anthony be the starter? Shane. Shane got in the hypothetical

795
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: mode today. I don't know if that was on the

796
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: old talking points, but yeah, he doesn't use that very often.

797
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals. But

798
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: he then said, right now, Philip is our quarterback. So

799
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, had Shane Stiken coached the Commanders and not

800
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers, would Philip Rivers here, be here, No, I

801
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: don't think so. By the way, how wild is it

802
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: that Philip Rivers has a one year old son and

803
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: a one year old grandson. It's the most wild thing son,

804
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: So theoretically son will throw a touchdown past her grandson

805
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: one day with grandpa coaching.

806
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just making generations quickly, switching generations quickly.

807
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: Young, you imagine, and then just keep it rolling. Ten

808
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: babies for the river? Do you think they're done? Should

809
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: I ask Philip that? Or is that not that?

810
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: People that have that many don't really think about it

811
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: as a concept of being done.

812
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: They just kind of keep rolling until nature takes over.

813
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: It's some elite Michael Philips swimming by the old Rivers clan. Okay,

814
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: what have we got here from?

815
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 2: Isaac Ballard always values high character guys. Has that nice

816
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: guy element contributed to the constant late season collapses? Maybe

817
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: they lack the mental tenacity or grit to get through

818
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: a season?

819
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: Goodness, boy man, you got some thoughts that you don't

820
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:40,479
Speaker 1: like the tone of the question.

821
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: No, I just think it's I think it's interesting.

822
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: I've always felt like you need a couple crazies in

823
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: a locker room I think it's healthy. I think it's

824
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: healthy to have a few of them. Yeah, you have

825
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: a lot of them. It's going to be hard to corral.

826
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: But I think a little edge, Yeah, a little nuts

827
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: is good.

828
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: And we don't have so is Isaac saying we don't

829
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 3: have enough of it?

830
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Sounds like that. You know, I've always said this about

831
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: Ballard in the big high character stress that he has

832
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: had here, I have grown to get that. Like, I

833
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: think the thought there with the high character individual is

834
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: when things get tough, the self motivation will win out. Yeah,

835
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: and I do think there's a lot of truth to that.

836
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: But you know, I go back to him ranton back

837
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: in January. Remember late in that season, any press conference, Hey,

838
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: I gotta go get more tough guys. We're not winning

839
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: enough games late in the season when it matters. Oh shit,

840
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: here we are in December and it's been lost, lost loss. Yeah.

841
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't say Philip Rivers is a tough guy.

842
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think you got to isolate Rivers. The the

843
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: Rivers thing is notwithstanding, I mean, you can evaluate the

844
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: fifty two other guys a little bit more. You know.

845
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: The River's thing was obviously, you know, kind of an

846
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: awful situation you.

847
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: Were in and yea, yeah it is Isaac send in

848
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: this question if if Rivers is not hired, well another

849
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: high it is another like character guy.

850
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: Yes, but again Isaac puts in here collapses plurally. Frankly,

851
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: if you want to look at the best December January

852
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: the Colts have had under Ballard, it's with Rivers at

853
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in twenty twenty. I guess you go to twenty

854
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: eighteen with luck, but twenty twenty with Rivers you won.

855
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: I think it was your final four or five games

856
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: and then's great.

857
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 3: I like that.

858
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, again, I think we have to isolate Rivers.

859
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: I think it's more of if you look at so

860
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: much of this core, they have been together for quite

861
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: a while, and the inability to win some of these

862
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: late season games has been there. Yeah, you know, I

863
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: mentioned this early early on, you know, when the Colts

864
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: got this start five and one, six and one, seven

865
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: and one, and the question was again, can you sustain it?

866
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Do you see this? You know, going off the rails.

867
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: I think this season for the Colts has been another

868
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: reminder of a seventeen game NFL grind is a freaking grind. Yeah,

869
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, the Houston Texans started zero and

870
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: three and now look at them. Some people would say

871
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: that's the team I wouldn't want to play in the

872
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: AFC right now. The Jags have won six in a row.

873
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, Houston's won five in a row,

874
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's won six in a row, and the Colts have

875
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: lost five to six. It's just, I mean, a seventeen

876
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: week grind when you only play one game a week.

877
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it's like that, but it truly is,

878
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: and it's like a good fortune. The cults are living

879
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: it right now.

880
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: Okay, Joel feels crazy to ask this question, But if

881
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: we assume Daniel Jones stays a cult and comes back

882
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 2: at some point next season, and Rivers maybe goes two

883
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: and two and gets us to the playoffs, do you

884
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: bring Rivers back next year to help be a stopgap.

885
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: Assuming he goes out there and does not look like

886
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: he's forty four years old, obviously he would want to

887
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: come back to wild question?

888
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 3: I know, but we live in wild times. Ain't that

889
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: the truth?

890
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: Amen to that, Joel, I really think they believe Daniel

891
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: Jones will be ready week one now. Again, how effective

892
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: is he? How he looks? I don't know. Would you

893
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: want to see Philip Rivers quarterback at for the first

894
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: three weeks and go join his high school football team

895
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: next year?

896
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 2: You imagine how many games did Daniel James lose before

897
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: he got injured?

898
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: The Colts wore eight and well, technically last week was

899
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: the first game without him, right, Okay, you know he

900
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: got hurt midway through the Jacksonville game. First half of

901
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game. Okay, so one or one and a

902
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: half is probably the best way to put it.

903
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: One and a half without him? How many was that with?

904
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: How many did they lose with him?

905
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: They were eight and five? He was eight and five

906
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: as a starter. Yeah, Daniel Jones on the hot meter?

907
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Is there a wag in Daniel Jones's life?

908
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: Not that I'm aware of, But if he's listening, I

909
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: set you off, my sister.

910
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 3: Do you think he listens to the pod?

911
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: What do you think? I think there's a better chance

912
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: Nelly becomes the next Katie Leducky than Daniel Jones is

913
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast.

914
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: The face you just gave me, But I think it

915
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 3: depends on what what picture you're looking at mister Johnson.

916
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: Jeez boy boy, that's quite the critique. Okay, Colts forty

917
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: nine ers, here we go, coming up Monday night, six

918
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: and a half point spread in this one. Again, the

919
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: Pearce all injury will be one to watch the rest

920
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: of the week. We'll see about Sauce Gardner and that availability. Mads.

921
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: You want to go first or you want.

922
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: Me to I'm gonna go with I'm just gonna put

923
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: it in the universe. I'm gonna go with Colts.

924
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: WHOA, what did Max pick yet? Max is not picked yet? No,

925
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: he's not.

926
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 3: Gosh, yeah, we do feel behind on stuff.

927
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: But again, it's a Monday game. We got some time.

928
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go with Colts just because I

929
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 3: want them to win and if they lose, I feel

930
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,959
Speaker 3: like Isaac's question is gonna live rent free in my head?

931
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: Okay, any football convicted thoughts on the.

932
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 3: Game, not really, No, I'm just I mean.

933
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: Not like Jonathan Taylor is gonna break one or Tyler

934
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: Warren could be critical in the red zone. I believe

935
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: you got a score.

936
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 3: I I don't have anything.

937
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Dear lord. There are some people that probably like has

938
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: been the worst podcasting in the history of Colt Scorner

939
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: with Kevin Bowen.

940
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, I'm a little rusty, but I figured, you know,

941
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna shut up now because if I said anything,

942
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: it would be not based on anything.

943
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: I'll go twenty three, nineteen forty nine ers. I really

944
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: worry about tackling Christian McCaffrey, really really worry about that.

945
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: I think I've shared this before, but when McCaffrey and

946
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: the Panthers came here for joint practices a handful of

947
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: years ago, watching him up close in person at Grand Park,

948
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen an athlete move like that. The lateral quickness,

949
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: the fluidity, the ease at which he catches the football.

950
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: I mean that dude is a special, special talent. So

951
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: the Colts tackling him, and you know, Party's ability to

952
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: extend a little also has me worried. But again, San

953
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: Francisco has just lived in from a special team standpoint

954
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: so much this season, so uh. I do like the

955
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: Colts covering uh. And I think it's such a vital

956
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: that you do not play from behind, try to play

957
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: from ahead, you know, again, stay on schedule as much

958
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 1: as they were able to do in Seattle and see

959
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: what happens. Okay, we'll close to this. Your Super Bowl picks? Who?

960
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to say.

961
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 2: To the pod listeners that usually I am right when

962
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: it comes to you know, between you and I.

963
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 3: So that's good news.

964
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, speak for yourself. Boy. It should be

965
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: a fun Christmas season in the bow and Householder.

966
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 3: And then Super Bowl?

967
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who you got? Take the Colts off the board.

968
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 2: Oh man, I've not done a good job of following Patriots.

969
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 3: I guess they're like.

970
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: Oh my pick of the Patriots as someone that grew

971
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: up in Indiana. Wow, No, no, I don't want them.

972
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: I thought you liked the Bills quarterback.

973
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 3: Who I'm sorry, I thought you ask them who? I

974
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 3: think it's actually going.

975
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: To be right. I mean, the Bills just beat the

976
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: Patriots last week. Okay, the Bills Bills. There you go.

977
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: Maddie Bowen first, everybody, we'll talk to you on Tuesday.

978
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: Safe travels if you're making the holiday commute. Eddie and

979
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: I will be back Tuesday. Probably that'll be the only

980
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: one next week as we look ahead to Colts and Jaggs.

981
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: Colts Corner with Kevin Bowen and thank you, Matt.

982
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Sorry guys, that was terrible.

983
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: I love you, great work, see you
