1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: I certainly hope that Don Fisher is able to accumulate 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: frequent flyer miles. Now I realize, you know they probably 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: fly commercial, but if you are, excuse me, charter, but 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: if they're flying commercial, I hope he does, because Don's 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: going to have a busy week, and I have a 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: feeling he would want it no other way. 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: Wednesday at Maryland. 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: On the basketball side of things, Indiana winners last night 9 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: over Washington at the Assembly Hall, the Simon Scott Assembly Hall, 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: and then on Friday it is Oregon and the Peach 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: Bowl in Atlanta in the college football semi finals.

If you remember 25 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: back when we played for Due and then I had 26 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: a game the next morning at eleven a m. With 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 3: a pregame and noon for a tip off. So so 28 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 3: I'm going to try and do that again. I may 29 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: not be able to do it this time because I 30 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: may be out of gas. 31 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: Well listen, I mean it would be understood. But here's 32 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: don here's the thing. I'm going to make a prediction 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: for you. You ready, I'm going to predict that you're 34 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: able to do that game because you are running on 35 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: so much adrenaline over the fact that you've now seen 36 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Indiana one step away from the national championship after the 37 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: knockoff Oregon. Now, I'm not trying to jinx anything, but 38 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: that's what I'm telling is. 39 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: Going to happen. 40 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: Well, I don't like when you predict, because I don't 41 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: know how many times your predictions come true. 42 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 4: Do you know what I'm saying. 43 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Listen, I didn't predict that we're going to shock the 44 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: world in ann Arbor against Michigan Football a couple of 45 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: years ago and it didn't go so well. 46 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: That's what I'm That's what I'm pointing out right. 47 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: For a quarter. 48 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: I was right on it, man, I'm telling you right. 49 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: But DoD, let's let's listen. You know this is and 50 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: I know that at this point we're a broken record, 51 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: but that performance against Alabama was so fabulous that we 52 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: have to revisit it because and I mean, and let's 53 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: face it, everyone everyone not using a two h five 54 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: area code loved the Paul Fine bomb shout out that 55 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: you did during the broadcast itself, right, but that just, 56 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, the overall preparation. It looked to me don 57 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: like Indiana had a better idea of what Alabama was 58 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: trying to execute than did Alabama. You know, what is 59 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: it about the Signetti factor that just is so business 60 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: like and allows his guys to go out and have 61 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: that kind of laser focus. And I realized that's something 62 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: I've been asking you for like fourteen weeks. 63 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's all about the process, as you know, 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: that's the term that they use all the time. The 65 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: players use it, the coaches use it, uses it. It's 66 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: all about the process, and it's about getting better every 67 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: single day, and that's part of that process that they 68 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: talk about. I'm just I'm convinced that this guy is 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: the best football coach in the country right now. I 70 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: don't think there's much question about it. What he's done 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: with this football program in two years is remarkable, and 72 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: I think he probably said it best to the postgame celebration. 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 4: It'd be a pretty good. 74 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: Movie, wouldn't it. So all I can tell you at 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: this juncture to Jake is that this team is well 76 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: prepared for everything that they do, and they've been that 77 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: way all season long, as they did last year, with 78 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: the exception of obviously the two losses. But I'm not 79 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: saying that they should have won those two ball games, 80 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: but they made some mistakes in those games that they're 81 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: not making this year. That's the remarked thing. This team 82 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: makes very few mistakes on the field, and I'm not 83 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: talking about an individual plays. I'm talking about in general, 84 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: the kai stakes that get you beat, turnovers, those kinds 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: of things, and they just don't do that very often. 86 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: And when they do do it, it seems like the 87 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: other side of the football they turn it over to 88 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: the other side. The defensive side makes up for it, 89 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: and that's what complimentary football is all about. And they've 90 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: talked about that at nauseum as well. So it's just 91 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: a football team that's so well put together. Number One, 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: It's constructed properly with character players and guys that have 93 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: had experience. And then on on top of that, they 94 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: just keep getting better. They work at it, getting better 95 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: each and every day, and that's where this all comes from. 96 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 3: And that's why I think this guy is the best. 97 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: Don He had said Kurt Signetti, Don Fisher, my guest 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: the voice of the Hoosiers on the Java House Peel 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: and Poor Guest line. Kurt Signetti had talked about with 100 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: this rematch with Oregon that and I think Indiana has 101 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: been very aware of, very respectful of. You know, hey, 102 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: Oregon is a great team. We had a great win 103 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: against them, but you know it's going to be tough, 104 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But he had said that teams 105 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: kind of morphed themselves over the course of the year 106 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: and therefore they are different than matchup. Number one, How 107 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: is this Indiana team, to your eye, different than it 108 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: was in Eugene. 109 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: I think just the one thing that strikes me right now, 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: Jake about this football team is their confidence level. And 111 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: it's not a cockiness, it's not that kind of thing. 112 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: It's their belief it's their belief in their ability number one, 113 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: in their coaching staff number two, and the buy in 114 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: that they've had of what kurtz Signetti teaches and preaches 115 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: almost on a daily basis. So I think that the 116 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: confidence level is that it is at an all time 117 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: high with these players. I think when you mold a 118 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: team like Kurt Signetti is done these guys. And here's 119 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 3: the other thing. I guess the easiest way to say 120 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: it is, these players buy what Kurtzignetti is selling and 121 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: they buy into it wholeheartedly, one hundred percent. They believe 122 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: in it. They've seen it work, and there's no reason 123 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: not to believe in it to this point because they're undefeated. 124 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: And I mean again, they are just so don what's 125 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: fascinating to me And I mentioned it before with you 126 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: and I've said it probably daily. It's like they go 127 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: out in the India. It's so they make it simple 128 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: and the simple aspect is we're just not going to 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: make mistakes. And then eventually even the best of the best, 130 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: the Alabamas of the world, the Ohio States of the world, 131 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: eventually make a mistake in Indiana then praise on it 132 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: like piranhas They're just all over it right after it. 133 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: It's it truly is remarkable. 134 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you can ploy the Oregon game the first 135 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: time they played. I mean, what happens they throw it, 136 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza throws an interception, and what do they do. 137 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: It's a pick six, so it goes for a touchdown, 138 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, all of them menim is 139 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: an Oregon's favor So what do they do. They came 140 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: back down to the field, went eighty plus yards on 141 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: that drive and scored a touchdown to retake the lead. 142 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: I mean, it was was remarkable in the sense you 143 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: make a mistake, you move on to the next play, 144 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: and you don't even think about what just happened. You're 145 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: thinking about what's going to happen next. They move on 146 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: from negatives very quickly. It just doesn't seem to affect them. 147 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: Even if it's a bad play or a mistake made 148 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: on a play or a turnover or whatever it may be. 149 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: They just move on to the next play and it 150 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to affect them negatively. And that's one of 151 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: the reasons I think this confident at the competence level 152 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: of this team is just as high as it can 153 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: possibly get. 154 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: Don. 155 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: I did have a basketball question, but before I get 156 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: to that, I simply wanted to ask you this. And 157 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: I know you've been asked a lot about your journey 158 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: of doing Indiana football, and we've talked about that. It's 159 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: well documented and you've been open about, you know, just 160 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: some of the bad football you saw over the course 161 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: of fifty years. But for you personally, how much fun 162 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 1: is this? How much fun are you having following this team, 163 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: this journey, this coach and these players. 164 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 3: Well, it's the highlight of my career at Indiana. I mean, 165 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: and I've got highlights because I'm got three national championships 166 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: I had a chance to broadcast, and each and every 167 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: one of those was for me. I really loved what 168 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: I was seeing. I enjoyed what I was seeing. I 169 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 3: delved into it like I was part of the program, 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: so to speak. And I did the same thing with 171 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: this football team. It's just so much fun to be 172 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: a part of something this special. And when you're part 173 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 3: of a national championship team that goes unbeaten back in 174 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, and I know that's a long time ago, 175 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: but that was fifty years ago, and went out question 176 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: that was one of the most remarkable things I'd ever 177 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: seen at that point in time. I'm kind of reliving 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 3: it again, you know, the same kind of thing with 179 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 3: the other two national championships and getting to the final 180 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: four and getting to a championship game. I've done that 181 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: several times, so it's just part of one of the 182 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: I've been. Like I said before, I've been the most 183 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: blessed broadcaster in this business. I've seen the highs and 184 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: I've seen the lows, and the highs of course outweigh 185 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: the lows dramatically, but it makes you appreciate those highs 186 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: too when you haven't had all that success. And what 187 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: these two seasons have done for me is it's reassured 188 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: me that I made the right choice when I decided 189 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: to become a sportscaster to play by play guy, and 190 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: I've loved every minute of it. 191 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: And it's hard to believe that it would be you know, 192 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess fitting that on the fifty year 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: anniversary of Indiana's unblemished college basketball season, the last of 194 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: them in college basketball, that Indiana could become the first 195 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: ever sixteen and unblemished college football national. 196 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: Champion basketball real quick. 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: Don I thought last night they shot in the ball 198 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: really well, especially from the outside. But I also I 199 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: noticed that after the game Coach Devrees, I think it 200 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: was to you he was talking about his pleasure in 201 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: their ability on the glass and finally getting a little 202 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: more active on the rebounding side of things. Was there 203 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: anything schematically different that Darren Derees did that facilitated for 204 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: either of those things. 205 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: I don't think schematically. I think that they just worked 206 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: on rebounding and emphasized it so much in that twelve 207 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: thirteen days that they had off. I mean, that's a 208 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: unique scenario in itself to have that much time off 209 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: during a Christmas holiday. And Darren talked to that about 210 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: that in our pregame show, and we'll talk more about 211 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: it tonight on the Coaches show that we have with 212 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: him this evening. But he was really he said, we 213 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: really worked on the rebounding aspect, really emphasized it in 214 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 3: our practices over the last couple of weeks. And he says, 215 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 3: that's the one thing I'm going to look for tonight 216 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: to see if it's better than it has been. Any 217 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: question that it was, and he was very pleased with 218 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: what he saw in that regard, And of course, the 219 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 3: other aspect of the last night's game that was so 220 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: impressive was they had four turnovers in the entire ballgame, 221 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 3: just four in that entire contest, So they took care 222 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: of the basketball. And I think they've been an underrated 223 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: defensive team all year long. I think this is a 224 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: really good defensive ball club. They really have honed in 225 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: on the defensive side of it. They are limited in 226 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 3: some areas because they're not the biggest team or anything 227 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: like that in that regard, and not the most physical 228 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: by any stretching imagination, but they play so hard and 229 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 3: they busted all the time, and that's one of the 230 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 3: reasons I think this defense is really good. So I 231 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: think that's ann heralded aspect of their ball club at 232 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 3: this point, but I think it's a real critical part 233 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: of why they're able to win some of these ball games. 234 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: And of course, last night, the offense played a big role, 235 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: scoring ninety points, and the three point shot is always 236 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 3: it's going to be a critical thing for this team. 237 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: But if your defense is playing well and keep you 238 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 3: a ball games and gives you a chance. 239 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: Indiana and Maryland Wednesday night, in basketball. You can hear 240 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: that game pregame coverage beginning at five thirty on our 241 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: sister station, WIBC, and then it is football Oregon Friday 242 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: night at six thirty in the National semi Finals, and 243 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: the coaches show of course tonight, and then I you 244 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: Nebraska on Saturday. So a busy week for Don Fisher. 245 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: Don enjoy it, soak it in and I certainly appreciate it. 246 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: All right, thanks all that, guys, appreciate it. 247 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: Don Fisher, the voice of the Indiana Hoosiers, appreciate it. 248 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: On the Java House, Peel and Poor Guest Line, joining 249 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: us to talk about that and more. Now he is 250 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: on the Java House Peel and Poor Guest Line. Mike 251 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: Chappell of CBS four and wxin box fifty nine joining us. 252 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: Chap We've been. 253 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: Talking a lot over the course of today of I 254 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: don't think a big surprise about Chris Ballard and Shane 255 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: Steiken being retained. We will hear from Carly Ursa Gordon 256 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: coming up a little over an hour from now. Was 257 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: there anything today that has come out in discussion from 258 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: players or coaches that has been of so prize to you? 259 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: Not really, I mean you talked about Jones and Pierce. 260 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 5: People should understand those are priorities one and two as 261 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 5: far as retaining their own the rest of them. I mean, 262 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 5: there's some good players in there, but they're going to 263 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 5: do everything they can to resign those two guys. And 264 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 5: as Chris Powler knows, if he if he lets Alec 265 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 5: Pierce get to free agency, he's gone. So this is 266 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 5: going to be one where Chris ask him up with 267 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 5: a deal that that is probably overpaying what they would 268 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 5: normally want to pay because because Pierce knows if he 269 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 5: gets out there Buffalo, Kansas City, Holy smokes, I mean, 270 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 5: there will be major suitors for him and they'll pay 271 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 5: top dollar more than what the Colts would pay, probably, 272 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 5: and Jones is going to get done. It's the only 273 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 5: difference now was going to be will they mess with 274 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 5: the guaranteed money? You know, I've been looking, you know, 275 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: you look at the Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield three years, 276 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 5: one hundred million and whatever the guarantees were, fifty million. 277 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 4: I don't know. 278 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 5: Those two guys are part of the future. They in 279 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 5: my mind, they will be back to me. In my mind, 280 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 5: there's really no question in that because I think the 281 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 5: Colts will do whatever they have to to get Pierced done. 282 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 5: The only thing that struck us in the lot in 283 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 5: the locker room too, they really, at least me, is 284 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 5: we talked to Mooney Warbs coming back from he's had 285 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 5: the three concussions this year. He was one of their 286 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 5: big off season signings and and he he just kind 287 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 5: of waffled on coming back. And you know, he he's 288 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 5: won a Super Bowl, he's played in three sup three 289 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 5: super Bowls. He's All Pro, he's Pro Bowl, he's made 290 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 5: sixty nine million dollars. Uh, and and he's had these 291 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 5: migraines and headaches from the from the concussions. And you know, 292 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 5: he said he bumped his head, you know, was it 293 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 5: last week or recently, and he said they had a 294 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 5: crazy headache for it. Well, that's and and that's going 295 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 5: to be a concern, he said. He said, he told 296 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 5: us that his dad's already told him to retire. 297 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 4: Uh. 298 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 5: He said, I don't think I'm going to do that. 299 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 5: But but but but then the more that he talked, 300 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 5: you wondered, Uh, you know, he said, I've done all this, 301 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 5: I've had a great career, I've had the money and 302 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 5: all this. He wants to be a good father, he 303 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 5: wants to be a good man to his fiance. So 304 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 5: whenever I hear players talking like that, it just gives 305 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 5: me pause. I remember Marve leaving the great Mark Leieve. 306 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 5: He said, I, if you're thinking about retiring, you've already retired. 307 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 5: And Mooney Ward told us he after the second concussion 308 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 5: that he was having cause of retirement because because of 309 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 5: how it might impact his life. And this is the 310 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 5: third one, so he he needs to make a decision 311 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 5: in the next two months because Baller needs to know 312 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 5: what he's got moving forward and how they're going to 313 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 5: have to deal with with Wards garranteed money. I think 314 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 5: he counts I can't win the water the numbers in 315 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: front of me, but he had count like eighteen million 316 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 5: dollars in dead money if he moves on, so it matters. 317 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 5: That's the one that's struct him more than anything is 318 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 5: when one of your major off season acquisitions is considering 319 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 5: his long term future that does not include football. So 320 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 5: other than that, it was a bunch of guys saying, 321 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 5: you know, we were close, we just didn't get it done, 322 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 5: which we've had way too many of those Extit interviews 323 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 5: in the last I don't know eight ten. 324 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: Years, chap I'm going to mention some individuals we now 325 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: know Chris Ballard, Shanstike and will be back in the 326 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: twenty six NFL season for the Indianapolis Colts.

I believe that means they could 344 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: tag him that would have to be done. He becomes 345 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: an unrestricted in March Alec. 346 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: Pierce nine and a half. 347 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: Okay, Anthony richardson final year of his deal, well, one. 348 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: To ten a half two, because I don't wan't say zero, 349 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 5: and in my head I'm thinking of zero, but I'll 350 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 5: say two. 351 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: Well. 352 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: I noticed that when you asked Shane Steichen almost directly 353 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: that question to a stich and immediately mentioned the eye injury. 354 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: And I don't mean not to make light of that, 355 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: but it agrees, right. 356 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 5: I just think they in their mind somehow or another, 357 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 5: and the fact that their banking on Jones being their 358 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 5: starter next year. I see no role for riches on 359 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 5: hair and he probably he didn't say at the other 360 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 5: the day when we talked to him, but he probably 361 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 5: wants to He probably wants to be gone more than 362 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: they want him gone. And I think this is a 363 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 5: case where it will do both sides very well to 364 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 5: move on. And I hope he goes somewhere else and 365 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: has Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold's success. I don't see 366 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 5: that ever happening here. 367 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner, oh sticks. 368 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 5: And it's only because the last couple times we've talked 369 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 5: to him, he's been he's been a little more cautionary 370 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 5: area about his career and when you're dealing this is, 371 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 5: this is not the same. I've had fusion surgery my 372 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 5: my lower back and it just it just changes things. 373 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 5: And this is this is a high end athlete, and 374 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 5: he had surgery on an ernie, a disk in his nick. 375 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 5: We si himed it in the locker room briefly, and 376 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: I think he will give serious consideration to retirement. But 377 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 5: knowing how much he wants to play, maybe he tries it, 378 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 5: but there will be some long call or some wrong 379 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 5: late discussions with the wife and the family when when 380 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 5: the time comes, this is not the time for him 381 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 5: to decide, you know, as soon as the surgery and all, 382 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 5: you gotta lot, you gotta get away from it. But 383 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 5: six and I wish I could be more optimistic with 384 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 5: than a sixth, but I can't. 385 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: Okay, the following players that I'm going to mention, like 386 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, are unrestricted free agents when the new season 387 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: begins in March. Okay, Taekwon lewis. 388 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 4: Two. 389 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: Because you think he they've just moved on, or you 390 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: think he will get a better offer elsewhere. 391 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 5: I think they'll they'll try to get younger at that 392 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 5: rotational defensive line position, the zero one because I'm not 393 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 5: going to go zero or ten one. I just think 394 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 5: that they've seen him for five years and he is 395 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 5: what he is, which isn't a bad player, but it's 396 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 5: not what you want from a front draft pick. 397 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 2: So I'll say one, moo Ali Cox. 398 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 4: Five. 399 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 5: How many times we've tried to say, well, he's done 400 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 5: here and maybe always thinking back because he's, like darned, 401 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 5: he's a good player, he serves a good purpose, he 402 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 5: knows his role, so you know, maybe they try to 403 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 5: replace that tight end room. 404 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 4: But now I come back to them. But five. 405 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: But you know the other thing about him too, Chap 406 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: and I don't listen, I don't know him personally, right, 407 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: but but I've always felt this way. There are certain 408 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: guys that always are going to get that benefit of 409 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: out just because they they're not locker room disruptors at all, 410 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: and they you know what I mean, they're they're good 411 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: guys there. They do what's asked. He strikes me as 412 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: that type Moley Cox. 413 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: That fair, yeah, but you still have to do something. 414 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: I know, I get that. But what I'm saying is 415 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: what you're saying. 416 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 5: No, it's it's and I don't mean as a backhanding compliment. 417 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 5: But it's like Jack Doyle, man, you need two or 418 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 5: three Jack Doyles on your team, but you can't have 419 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 5: too many players at that level for those guys serves 420 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 5: such a purpose. He's you know, he's essentially an extra 421 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 5: an extra tackle, but he'll make some players for you. 422 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 4: So got to have those guys. 423 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 5: But I five, and I think it either way, probably 424 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 5: more so than he won't be back. 425 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 4: But if he's back, I won't I won't be surprised. 426 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, the uh A couple others real quick, Nick Cross, 427 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: who I think started to play really well. 428 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 5: For him UH six, and he bea a casualty of 429 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 5: when you have to pay Jones and he had to 430 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 5: pay Pierce that may and you're already paying can't bine 431 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 5: them big money. I don't know that you can sink 432 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 5: another big contract into your other safety. And he's played well, 433 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 5: he really has. He may be one of those guys 434 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: that he simply can't afford to keep. 435 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 2: Okay. 436 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: The kicker situation is an interesting one because we know 437 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: obviously it's easy to forget this. You know, Spencer Schrader 438 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: got hurt at the beginning of the year in that 439 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: Raiders game. Pete Carroll, by the way, fired today in 440 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, not because of that, but because they interperformed. 441 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: But Blake Grupi, who I thought kicked well for them 442 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Is he gone or do they create 443 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: a competition there? 444 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 5: Probably two or three only because I think when teams 445 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 5: start lining up their kickers for next year, maybe he 446 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 5: gets a look see from somebody. That won't surprise me. 447 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 5: Talk to Spencer Strader today and he's on target, he's 448 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 5: ahead of schedule, and he he will be their kicker, 449 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 5: you know, not by default, but he'll be the front 450 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 5: runner a kicker. And I just don't think the group 451 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 5: he will be available to him in the camp competition 452 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 5: because he proved, he proved when he was here that 453 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 5: in the right circumstances he's pretty good. 454 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: You know. 455 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: The Eddie points out Michael Pittman Junior twenty nine million 456 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: next year, largest payroll on the team. It would be 457 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: a five million dollar dead cap hit if they were 458 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: to release him. In other words, they would still go 459 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: against their cap for what they're not getting in return 460 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: at five million. Is there a cost that he would 461 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: be willing to come back if there was a restructure. 462 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 5: Probably it would depend on a Normally, restructures don't mean 463 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 5: you're taking a pay cut, pushing money forward maybe in 464 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 5: an extension. 465 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: Backload here right. 466 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm not sure you can go to pitt 467 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 5: and say well, instead of twenty nine, how about fifteen? 468 00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 5: He'd tell you the pound saying so. But it would 469 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 5: be detrimental to re sign Piers and let Pittman go. 470 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 5: I know we all wish Pittman was a little more 471 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 5: of something, but he's really he's dependent on he. I 472 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 5: know he hadn't he didn't finish the season strong. But 473 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 5: if you get rid of you get rid of pitt 474 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 5: you better have somebody in mind to bring in, because 475 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 5: then that puts too much of a load on Pierce 476 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 5: to do more than what he's been, and he's been 477 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 5: really good at what he does. I would think there's 478 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 5: playing more of a chance of a restructure, of maybe 479 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: a some kind of restructure hit to where he still 480 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 5: gets most of his money and you're not asking him 481 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 5: to take a massive pay because I don't think he 482 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 5: would take a pay cut, a massive pay cut. 483 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: The obvious question for Carl Ter say Gordon later that 484 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: we're going to hear is going to be you know 485 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: what went into the decision to retain Chris Ballard and 486 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: Shane Stike? 487 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: And what's the second most burning question. 488 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 5: I guess say, and what do you see the future 489 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 5: of the team? 490 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 4: Is this? 491 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 5: Well, no, the second one would be it is twenty 492 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 5: twenty six winner? Else is the playoffs? 493 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 4: Or else? 494 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 5: Did you did you do this with the idea that 495 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 5: you know? Cause remember she told us last in June that, 496 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 5: like her dad said, you know the things you have 497 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 5: to fix, is it you fix them or we're going 498 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 5: to blow it up next year? And we've all talked 499 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 5: about how it's going to be an easier It's never easy, 500 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 5: but it'll be an easier reset for somebody next year 501 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 5: if this coming season doesn't go well. Because you got 502 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of significant contracts up, you know, 503 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 5: the Quenton Nelson's and people like that, Pittman and Jonathan 504 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 5: Taylor and on and on. So uh, yeah, it's okay 505 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 5: you brought them back. And again the first question is why. 506 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 5: I mean, it's pretty simple, just why. But but then 507 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: it's did it come back with with a with the 508 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 5: cave at caveat that and you better make the playoffs? 509 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 5: Just just doing nine and eight. It's not going to 510 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 5: cut it. So that's and again, if I'm not mistaken, 511 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 5: Crystal will be in the last yervice contract. 512 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 4: It's never great to have a lame duck. 513 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 5: Anything seconds under contract for three more years. So why 514 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 5: and then are there is everybody back with a win 515 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 5: or else? 516 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 4: H demand? 517 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: Okay, here's the big one, chap in terms of those 518 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: we're talking with, Mike Chapel of CBS four and WXA 519 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: and Fox fifty nine.

He was giving out pacer tickets earlier. We're 561 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: talking about Chris Ballard, Shane Steichen returning with the Indianapolis 562 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: Colts and AMP. You and I were just talking. We 563 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: were just talking during the break about this. One of 564 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: the things that I have thought about and I don't know. 565 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, some of these central players probably 566 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: on a different level than do I, but I can 567 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: understand and respect if Carlie orse Gordon right now, as 568 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: in a new position, wanted familiarity until she has better understanding, 569 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: and I mean that is no knock on her. 570 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: You and I would be in the same spot if you're. 571 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: Has better under standing of everything that goes into running 572 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: a franchise. You think there's any you seem to think 573 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: that there could be some truth to that. 574 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 7: I think it's truth with anybody that walks into a 575 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 7: new situation, especially the way that Carly was presented with 576 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 7: this unexpectedly. You got to think about the familiarity is 577 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 7: really important. So imagine if you to the way the 578 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 7: fans will say, just clean house and give it to everybody. 579 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 7: So then you have a new owner, then that new 580 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 7: owner has to come in with a new coach, new 581 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 7: general manager, completely new system, and based off of the 582 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 7: way that our season started, why would one think that 583 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 7: we couldn't duplicate that and replicate that minus the injuries? 584 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 8: Where would we be? 585 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 7: We know we would be in the playoffs minus Daniel 586 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 7: Jones going down. I mean, you think about the injuries 587 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 7: and the way that they happened. 588 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: Do you think Jones' intertality of season was going to 589 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: be the player that he started out or did we 590 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: buy into a little bit of a superman that was 591 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: starting to come back come down to where still a 592 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: good player, but not to the level that we saw 593 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: in like say weeks you know one through six. 594 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 8: Now, what I think is the system yeah worked for him. 595 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: I think when notably Shane Styken, right, absolutely. 596 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 7: He's a quarterback coach and you know it's it's not 597 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 7: and I'm gonna say this because I've been having these 598 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 7: kind of conversations with players and different people. It's not 599 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 7: an indictment against Anthony Richardson, But when you think about 600 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 7: the system that Shane built, I think Daniel Jones was 601 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 7: built better for that system than Anthony Richardson was. 602 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: Okay, showcasing which aspect. 603 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 7: First and foremost up top the mental capacity? You know, 604 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 7: once it's like the Michael Jordan theory at some point 605 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 7: the game is ninety percent mental, ten percent physical. Anthony Richardson, 606 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 7: it was ninety percent physical percent men. 607 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: Right now, do you now by that? Do you mean 608 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: that in your estimation Anthony Richardson? And this is not 609 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: met as a knock the lack of intellectual capability to 610 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: quickly process or the overall just maturity of understanding. 611 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 7: I think it's a combination of the two. You know, 612 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 7: when you when And again it's not just that there 613 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 7: are there. 614 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: Are veteran quarterbacks have been around a long time that 615 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: never grasped the intellectual So I'm not That's not to 616 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: say he's not an intellectual guy. It's to say football 617 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: intellect is not there yet. 618 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I mean you got to think about it. 619 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 7: That comes with years of experience, that comes with coaching, 620 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 7: that comes with this kid basically played what two years 621 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 7: of organized football at that level, So you can't expect 622 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 7: was he given too much too soon? That was always 623 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 7: my thing, right, like the handed them the keys right 624 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 7: out the gate. So we don't know what we were builting. 625 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 7: And that's what I'm saying. When you think about Carly 626 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 7: and what she has to deal with for next season, 627 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 7: do you walk into a situation and you just make 628 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 7: all of these subtle changes. 629 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 8: It would be one thing if we started. 630 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 7: A season two and eight, then I understand, okay, blow 631 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 7: it all up, but you could see the promise in 632 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 7: what this team can do. 633 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: Is it fair to say that a quality general manager 634 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: would have had depth at positions to sustain the injuries 635 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: they had. 636 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 8: You know what's so crazy? 637 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 4: I kid you not. 638 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 7: I think that is not just a situation. It's almost 639 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 7: like an Indiana thing in sports. With me, I think 640 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 7: the Pacers suffered from the same thing. You have backup 641 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 7: players that are similar to the starters. There is no 642 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 7: shift and when you change a backup to the starter. 643 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 7: For example, when Allen Iverson was who he was, we 644 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 7: know the style of play that he plays with reckless abandonment. 645 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 7: But then when they needed to slow the game down 646 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 7: based on play a more polished team, Eric snow got 647 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 7: the ball right. 648 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 8: We didn't have that. 649 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 7: We went in at From the coach perspective, I thought, 650 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 7: and I you know, Reggie and I would have these 651 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 7: conversations as well as other. 652 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 8: Players, So I got again, I got a little bit. 653 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 7: You know, when we're talking about the defensive side of 654 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 7: the ball, I could ask Robert Mathison, Dwight Freeedy, like 655 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 7: why did this particular lineman, this this this safety or 656 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 7: this cornerback or this d lineman, why did he take 657 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 7: that route? 658 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 8: And so I can get that institutional knowledge. 659 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 7: But being around the game as long as I have, 660 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 7: and that's why I said, from a business side, we 661 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 7: operate off emotions as fans, So the first thing we 662 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 7: do is it's not going our way. 663 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 8: Blow it up. 664 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 7: But eight and two everybody was like coach, coach, coats, 665 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 7: So I don't want them to blow it up. I 666 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 7: think Carly is doing herself a justice by keeping that 667 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 7: familiar ality. 668 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 8: Going back to that so that you know what you 669 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 8: are walking into. 670 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Do you believe that they have been given another year 671 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: and more christ than Shane? But do you believe that's 672 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: because Carlier said go and truly believes that he is 673 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: the long term operator that she wants, or because she 674 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: needs someone to strictly keep in the same lane for 675 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: right now until she can then further dive into it. 676 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 7: I believe, as like anybody that has taken over anything 677 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 7: brand new, you have to really understand and fully engage 678 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 7: yourself to learn all of those because all of it is. 679 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 7: All of this is new. Going eight and two was 680 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 7: new for her. The energy that the nation was given 681 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 7: and putting around our team. Uh, you know, when you 682 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 7: think about our running back. At one point he was 683 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 7: an MVP candidate, then all of a sudden, nobody's talking 684 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 7: about him anymore. All of it is an adjustment period, 685 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 7: and I don't know if we have the infrastructure on 686 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 7: and in the players, the the the the I think 687 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 7: we have the coaching staff to get us where we 688 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 7: need to go. 689 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 8: I think, you know, player wise, do we. 690 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 7: Have the players all of those positions? 691 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 8: You know, again, going to Daniel Jones, we did. 692 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 7: He was the best available when we got him, so 693 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 7: we didn't know what we were. 694 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: And he's the best available in free agents this year too, 695 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, But it's. 696 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 7: All based off of how he started the season at 697 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 7: eight and two.
