See, 39 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: iways used to know I was working the NFL Network radio. 40 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: I would just always use it more as prep as 41 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: a prep tool than anything. Man. 42 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: Nah, the thought of having to change my lineup every 43 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: week and like actually caring about it, and then also 44 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: losing to somebody who might not know a thing about 45 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: fantasy football. 46 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, not it, Kevin, You ready to go? You burning 47 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: the midnight oil. 48 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: I'm so bad at fantasy football. Yeah, it's it's unbelievable. 49 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: If something do you think that is? 50 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 5: Is? 51 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 3: I I don't know if someone had like a historic 52 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: track record of me and fantasy football. There's what twelve 53 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: teams in the league. I'm the Colts. I might be 54 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: worse than the Colts league. 55 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: You got to have a dub in there somewhere. 56 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: I think one time I won the regular season okay, 57 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: and then bowed out very quickly in the playoffs. So yeah, 58 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: I am. I am awful at fantasy football. 59 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: Yeah uh so'm I know Mark and I are looking 60 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: forward to it. It's the yearly exercise of thinking you 61 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: have a decent team at the beginning, or you hated 62 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: I usually hate my team at the draft and then 63 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: like working on it through the course of the season. 64 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: And whenever I really like my teams, it turns out 65 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: that maybe they weren't so good. Whenever I don't like 66 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 1: my teams and have to work hard all year long, 67 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: that seemed to work out. I don't know how that is. 68 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 4: All I know is I'm planning to snipe eighty mitchell 69 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 4: from you. 70 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: Okay, I did not take Adie Mitchell in a draft 71 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: I had last night, just throwing that out. 72 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: There, taking them don't key of little faith? 73 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Well, I was presented with better options. 74 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: What can I say, man, I'll tak it up with 75 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: eighty Mitchells today in the lockdown. 76 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: Got a lot of better options today than eighty catches. 77 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: He'll get there. Watch he's gonna be on track by 78 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: third fourth week of the season. I think he's going 79 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: to be the number one receiver. But we'll wait and 80 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: see and find out if he can actually make catches 81 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: in traffic. That's what it comes down to for him, right, 82 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: Can he actually just do the things he's supposed to do? 83 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 6: Well? 84 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that and just the amount of catches is probably 85 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: the bigger thing. 86 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: But I think he's a guy. I believe that he's 87 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: so talented and he once he puts it all together, 88 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that will be available to 89 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: throw the ball too quite a bit. That's what I 90 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: That's where I base that. Getting there and maybe he 91 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: doesn't mature, maybe he doesn't come into that, maybe he 92 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: never maybe always has that one or two drops a game. 93 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: Maybe he's always jumping off side once or twice a game. 94 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. But if you can clean that stuff up, 95 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: the talent is just man, it's just crazy. Jim irsay, 96 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: gonna have a day coming up on the seventh of September. Yeah, 97 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: going into the culture Ring of Honor looks. 98 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, he's an opener. 99 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that I know. A couple of people had 100 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: asked me about that and whether or not that that 101 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: was going to happen before or after he had passed away. 102 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he was if they were scheduling 103 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: to honor him regardless. I had heard some whispers and 104 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: rumors about that, but I don't know if you guys 105 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: had heard any of that. 106 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: No, I had not. So Yeah, going in the Ring 107 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: of Honor, I believe everybody attendance for the boss T 108 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: shirts coming up on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, that'll be the 109 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: halftime show. I think they will honor Forced Lucas coming 110 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: up at next week's home game. So agetting back to 111 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: back home games. Out of the gate here Colt step 112 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: chart came out yesterday and go over that, James. I 113 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: thought Zach Keeber's peace really good on the athletic. You 114 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: know generally why quarterbacks fail in the NFL, why high 115 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: draft picks fails, probably the better way to put it, 116 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: And certainly the Colts and Anthony Richardson had a big 117 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: focus within that piece. He talked to a lot of voices. 118 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: I think a lot of interesting voices in there, so 119 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: maybe go over that as well here on this Wednesday morning, a. 120 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: Lot to get to. The fever had another rough one 121 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: last night while you were sleeping from any of you. 122 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: They go to the desert, they lose to Phoenix. They 123 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: are in a precarious position right now where the season 124 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: to end today they would be one of the eight 125 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: teams getting into the postseason. They've played two more games 126 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: than the Sparks, who are in ninth place, but just 127 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: one in the standings, just a one game advantage right now, 128 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: so they're sitting there on the edge. And if you're wondering, 129 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: they have lost two of three to the spark so 130 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: far this year, so they just need to win I 131 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: would think two of their last three and probably they 132 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: would be okay. And they returned to the floor on 133 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Wednesday night against Chicago here at the Fieldhouse, and nineteen 134 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: straight games now missed for Caitlin Clark. It's getting a 135 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: little dicey at this point. 136 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 5: KB. 137 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you are playing with a little bit 138 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: of fire certainly, and as you laid out there, three 139 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: to go for the Fever, five to go for the Sparks, 140 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: you are one game up. They have the head to 141 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: head tiebreaker, so you cannot have anything I would look 142 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: looking at the schedule, I think the Sparks have the 143 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: much more difficult schedule to Atlanta twice at starting tonight, 144 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 3: and then I think they go to Phoenix as well, 145 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 3: whereas the Fever don't have that dante A scheduled. And 146 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: I'm curious how much Minnesota would even play there, you know, 147 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: frontline players in that final game of the year, and 148 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: obviously Kaitlyn Clark status does she get out there at 149 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: all for a brief period here to end the season. 150 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: So I was deep in rems sleep, woke up about 151 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: two am and looked like Mercury for the most part, 152 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 3: we're in control the entire game, and looked like Dwana 153 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 3: Bonner and Kaitlyn Clark got a little chirpy. 154 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: Who surprising that that would happen? 155 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: I don't think too too surprising, given Caitlin Clarkson, ever, 156 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 3: won to back down from a verbal confrontation from the bench, 157 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: and to Wanna Bonner looked like she had a really 158 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: good night playing, So that you know, two and two 159 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: in the road trip not the end of the world 160 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: by any means, but again, you are playing with fire 161 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: in this going down. 162 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: To the wire, all right, So we'll check in on 163 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: that throughout the evening. We've got a lot of baseball 164 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: to talk about and more college football to get ready 165 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: for already. That's the thing about the football in today's world. 166 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: Like we had talked about it kind of off the 167 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: air yesterday, how far away do you think we are 168 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: from the NFL having six, maybe even seven days of 169 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: football throughout the course of the season. 170 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: James Boyd, I don't know legitimately how it would work, 171 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: but I just think at this point in time, no 172 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: matter what day Christmas falls on, you can expect the 173 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: game on that day going forward. So they'll work that out, 174 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: but we'll see. I don't know if it would make 175 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: it easier if you do pick up an eighteenth game 176 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: somewhere over the next five to ten years, Would that 177 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: make it easier logistically to schedule certain things out there's 178 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: a second bye weekend there perhaps, But yeah, it's not 179 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: what I grew up on. Let's just say that. I mean, 180 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: growing up it was always Christmas was NBA. But now, 181 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: even as an NBA guy, if you tell me a 182 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: football game is on on Christmas, that's probably what's going 183 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: to rule the viewing for me. 184 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and think at the time of the year too, 185 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: you're playing a Christmas Day game, there's pretty good chance 186 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: there are playoff implications, maybe gets goes forward, it gets 187 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: eliminated or whatnot. And as much fun as it is 188 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: and it was to watch NBA and used to just 189 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: when they started, it was just a triple header. Now 190 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: it's five games throughout the course of the day. It 191 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: was kind of fun and it was new, it was novel. 192 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: But you know, it's one of eighty two games at 193 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: the end of the day, and it's also very early 194 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: in the season, so it doesn't seem consequential at the 195 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: end of the day, which is probably what separates those 196 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: two out. Ken. I think we've already figured out that 197 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: we pretty much have college football every day if you 198 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: count Sundays in the first zero week in week one, 199 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: in college football throughout the course of the year, you 200 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: will probably probably have a college football game on every 201 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: day of the week. 202 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know, IU, I think as a Friday night game, 203 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: I want to say, it's next week Indiana State on 204 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: a Friday night, and Mark, your bears are alone on 205 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: Monday Night, just them and the Vikings. Right, we don't 206 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: have the Monday night double header this year, right. 207 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 4: I think in the last couple of years, the Monday 208 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 4: night doubleheader has been like a Week two or something 209 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: like that. I can check. I don't know if that's 210 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 4: the case this year, but I believe they've kind of 211 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 4: gone away from the opening week doubleheader too. Later in 212 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 4: the season, there's been double double headers. 213 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: And again you have the full slate of teams obviously 214 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 3: playing early in the year. You're not doing a bye 215 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: week for teams, you know, weeks one, two, three, So 216 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 3: you know, that's part of why I think they try 217 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: to throw. Yeah, del Mark said, additional game Monday night. 218 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: Throw the game on Friday. Kansas City and LA here 219 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 3: coming up this Friday. 220 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 4: Week two, we have a Monday night double header. It's 221 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 4: Bucks Texans and Chargers Raiders. So yeah, next week. 222 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: And is that spread out like seven and ten o'clock. Uh, 223 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: that is a stager seven and ten. Yes, okay, some 224 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: years they've done like the staggered start like a half 225 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: hour forty five minutes there, so I like that. But yes, 226 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: Marks Bears and I want to say the Sunday night 227 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: game is great. This is it, Bills Ravens. 228 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah. 229 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 3: So some really really juicy Week one matchups abound. 230 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: All right, Steven holl are gonna stop by later on 231 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: today eight and o'clock. In the nine o'clock hour, Tony 232 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: East is gonna check in with us to uh, I 233 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: only talk about the Fever. Probably get the latest update 234 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: on Tyrese Haliburton, who was last seen on a video 235 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: shooting free throws right now, so we'll check all that 236 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: out as we roll through a Wednesday morning here. Thanks 237 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: for joining us here on the Fan Morning Show. We'll 238 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: talk to you in a moment on ninety three five 239 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: and one seven five Fan Happy Wednesday. Welcome into the 240 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: Fan Morning Show along with James Boyd, Kevin Bowen, Mark Dyke, 241 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: and I'm Jeff Rickard. The Indiana Fever struggling on the 242 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: road last night. They lose their fourth and sixth game 243 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: last night to the Phoenix Mercury eighty five seventy nine. 244 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell did score twenty nine points of leave Austin 245 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: had eleven points eight rebounds, but it just wasn't enough 246 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: at the end. Phoenix used a ten nothing run at 247 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,359 Speaker 1: the end of the first half to create the distance. Currently, 248 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: the Fever are tied for the eighth and final playoff 249 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: spot in the standings. They are one game up on 250 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: the Sparks in those standings, but they do have two 251 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: games in hand, so we'll see how it all plays out. 252 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: When they would turn home on Wednesday night to take 253 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: on the Chicago Wednesday Friday night, Sorry about that. Two 254 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: days from now, they'll be taking on Chicago at the Fieldhouse. 255 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: We're looking forward to that and we'll see what happens 256 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: as we go. I would think two out of three 257 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: would probably get it done, but they are, as we 258 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago, James starting to play with fire 259 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: just a little bit. 260 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. The Wanta Bonner certainly had a great 261 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: game last night against their former team to kind of 262 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: put them on the brink in a big one coming 263 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: up against the Sky who have played fairly well as 264 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: of late. And I believe Angel Reese is back in 265 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: the lineup and healthy again, so that'll be a factor 266 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: for them to try to control. 267 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep. 268 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 5: An eye on that. 269 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts back at work today over at 270 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: West fifty sixth. Then, Kevin, you had mentioned a moment ago. 271 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: First official injury report of the regular season comes out today. 272 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: Anything you're expecting to see or interested in the most. 273 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, James, feel free to chime in. I mean, Tyler Goodson, 274 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: you know, has missed a little bit of time, and 275 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: if you look at the depth chart right now, it's 276 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: either him or DJ Goodins. They actually threw out a 277 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: little or designation still in the depth chart, could be 278 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 3: the backup to Jonathan Taylor to pain how you look 279 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 3: at it. But I think the expectation, right James, is 280 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 3: guys like Josh Downs, guys like Nick Cross, guys like 281 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: Braydon Smith at the Forest Buckner. You guys that have 282 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: missed time here lately, they either have returned or should 283 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: be out there today in their first official practice. So 284 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: I think the Cults are in a pretty good health state, 285 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: and probably a little bit of better health state than 286 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins. 287 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: Frankly, absolutely, and sometimes that's what it comes down to 288 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 2: in the NFL, and it's always interesting to hear or 289 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: see that first injury report just because we don't have 290 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: to necessarily guess or remember to ask Shane, because for 291 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: those listening throughout training camp in the preseason, there is 292 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 2: no official injury report, so we are we have to ask, 293 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: and sometimes it's like, well, we can't ask, or we could. 294 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: It was just kind of weird. Okay, we have ten 295 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: guys we want to know about, can you list them 296 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: all off? Whereas now we'll just get there ferm a 297 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: straight from the source and then we can take it 298 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: from there and. 299 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 3: It's totally Again. I think one thing too, to keep 300 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 3: in mind about James's point right there, it's not who 301 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: you play, it's when you play him. And look at Miami. 302 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: Last year, you played them without Tua. This year you don't. 303 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: You play them with Tua. So you know that was 304 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 3: a benefit for your schedule in twenty twenty four you 305 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: took advantage of it and now it's the reverse of that. 306 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 3: And again Miami is a totally totally different team with 307 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 3: under center versus without him. 308 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also it'll be interesting for Miami to see 309 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: what the status of Devon a chain is. I know 310 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: he's been battling an injury off camp. That would be 311 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: the only one I think they'd be really worried about. 312 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 6: It. 313 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: Seems like tyild about three straight weeks in camp as well. 314 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: Don't you think that was Tyree pulling kind of a 315 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: veteran move a little bit? 316 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 5: Then? 317 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 3: Well still, I mean, anytime a guy misses three weeks, 318 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: you know, you can't overlook that. And their secondary has 319 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: been really banged up, so those would be some things 320 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 3: to watch again. They will have a new kicker as well. 321 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 3: They're starting kicker is going to miss this game due 322 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 3: to injury. 323 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: All right, first NFL game of the year, we'll be 324 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday night, the Dallas Cowboys taking on the defending 325 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. That one will be at 326 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: eight to twenty on Thursday night. Meanwhile, college football schedule 327 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: for the week number twenty three. Indiana plays at noon 328 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: against Kennesaw State. They'll be at home down in Bloomington. 329 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: Purdue will host Southern Illinois and Notre Dame. Has that 330 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: a little more time to get things together, I guess 331 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: is the best way to say it, Kevin. 332 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, theyk felt a nine. I believe in the polls, Yes, 333 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 3: they will not play. Coming out this week, I saw 334 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: Indian NFL a little bit there, you know, Texas falling 335 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: one to six. More of me is like, man, you 336 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: know Texas goes on the road, flaze. Ohio State loses 337 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: by a touchdown, they fall five spots. 338 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: I mean, do you think that's a product of just 339 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: us having more spots now in the playoff and feeling 340 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: like you don't necessarily have to I don't know, keep 341 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: teams as high or them is and as little as 342 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: you did before. 343 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, like preseason rankings are probably largely entertainment 344 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: rankings more than anything like something to talk about. 345 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: Use Alabama, for example, was no way then I'm eighteen. 346 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: They got smoked in week one. 347 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: People have said like we should just have a blank slate, 348 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: and then week one we dial it up, and then 349 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: week two and week three and so and so there. 350 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: I wonder if I don't know that, I kind of 351 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: like building up the heights. 352 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: Trust me, it's not going to happen because it is 353 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: an entertainment business at the end of the day. But 354 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: that did kind of stand out of me again, Iu fell, 355 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: I want to say, twenty one to one, maybe a 356 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: little bit lower than the other one. So I guess 357 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: that again is a product of teams behind them having 358 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 3: some marquee wins on their schedule. 359 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: In week one in the coaches Poll, number twelve for 360 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: your ALIGNI, James, They're right there knocking on the door. 361 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: Hey, May is gonna look outstanding after we smoke IU 362 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. 363 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's check out Major League Baseball. Cubs have 364 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: pulled it within five games the Milwaukee Brewers in the 365 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: National League Central with a four to three win over 366 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. They got twenty two games to play. 367 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: I believe twenty two or twenty three. No, all it 368 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: takes is a couple one on one big hot streak 369 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: and one cold streak, and they're right back in it. 370 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 4: I feel like Joseph Gordon Levitt and Angels in the outfield. 371 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: I'm flapping the wings. I'm believing. I'm believing it could 372 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 4: be possible. 373 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: I think it happen. 374 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 6: Uh. 375 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: Cincinnati is five games out of the wild Card, but 376 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: they lost last night to the Toronto Blue Jays twelve 377 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: to nine. You want me to just quit teasing you 378 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: with that right, correct. 379 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: As I've said for weeks now, I've told you they 380 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: are dead. You have tried to create optimism around them. 381 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 3: That's commendable, but it's not reality. 382 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: I was in an auction draft yesterday with a bunch 383 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: of Reds fans like, this team stinks, it stinks. 384 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: I haven't just curious who had the highest price in 385 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: that auction? 386 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 4: Well, we also it's a keeper, it's a dynasty Keeper 387 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 4: auction league. So I think Jamar Chase went the most. 388 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: I think he went for like sixty eight dollars or 389 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 4: something like that. 390 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: What was your original pot. 391 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 6: Ye? 392 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 3: By the way, if you guys ever thought about or 393 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: heard about a NFL Calcutta at like the start of 394 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: the year, so basically what you'd be doing is bidding 395 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 3: on teams. 396 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, the members of my country couple I used to 397 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 4: work at, they would do that annually where they would 398 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: have the guys would be in the locker room and 399 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: they'd have like a Calcutta for NFL tea. 400 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 3: I hadn't really thought about it, but then I had 401 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: heard about it over the weekend, and yeah, I mean 402 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: payouts for last for the first overall pick as well, 403 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 3: So like a very wide range of thinking here and 404 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: how you would you know, how much money would the 405 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 3: Chiefs go for, how much money would Eagles go for, 406 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 3: et cetera. How much money would the Saints go for? 407 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: You know, if you think they're gonna be the first 408 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 3: overall pick. So it's very degenerating, but I did enjoy 409 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: hearing about it. 410 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 4: Mark and I are aware that every year I got 411 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 4: to see that happen. I'm like, I wish I had 412 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: this kind of disposable income to be throwing this much money. 413 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: At the Chargers or something. 414 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: Marks in the back of the room. 415 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: Mark and I only know about you simp, your bartender. 416 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Mark and I only know about these things through word 417 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: of mouth, right Mark, That's the only reason we're familiar 418 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: with them. Kevin, I've just talked to a lot of 419 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: people that have done those things. Anything else, I did 420 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: see that the Indianapolis Indians got a road win last night. 421 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: They beat the Clippers five to three. They'll play again 422 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: tonight at six fifteen in Columbus. 423 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: Anything else you got, Yeah, some major IndyCar news. Will 424 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 3: Power and Team Penske not reupping for an eighteenth year. 425 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: So Will Power makes it very clear that he still 426 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: feels like and again he finished the highest of y 427 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: dry Ron Tipenski this year in the points statings that 428 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 3: he still has some juice left. So we'll see what 429 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: happens there. Rena's VK not returning to Dale Coyn. So 430 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: listen a little bit of track sid last night. Very entertaining, 431 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 3: I mean, and it's not stopping there.

If you 439 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 3: lose that game, your season might be over in the 440 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: regular season as opposed to the postseason. So you have 441 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 3: a matchup against one of your quote unquote rivals, you 442 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: have their number all year.

I know 447 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: that they got Minnesota in the Cup game, but other 448 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: than that, Minnesota's just been lights out. 449 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 450 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, at this point of season, you probably hoped that 451 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: that or wish that that would count, but it doesn't. 452 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 2: So it's all about the last three games he got left. 453 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 3: I'll throw in one more as well.

Coming up next, we'll talk a little bit 509 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: about the cults as they get ready for the Miami 510 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins roar piece to Zach Keither wrote in The Athletic 511 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: Too about being a Boston quarterback and what goes into 512 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: all that and how it works out. If you haven't 513 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: seen that, I would recommend that you go read that 514 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: good stuff. And we'll talk about some of that as 515 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: we continue. Next. It's the Fan Morning Show at ninety 516 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: three to five and one seven five The Fan James 517 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: Boy with the seven o'clock James BOYD move. I like it. 518 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: I guess you say, what can make me feel that way? 519 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: I was going to join you right there, a little harmony. 520 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, dropped out. 521 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: You shout out to the temptation to pay copyright. 522 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: Feez, you guys keep going. 523 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 3: No, they won't claim that James had some great notes 524 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: there at seven thirty three in the morning. 525 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: We're more likely, but. 526 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: Hey, that has some good music. 527 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: James and I keep singing to people are going to 528 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: likely hit us with a cease and desist more than anything. 529 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: And I almost had an exit stage right there. 530 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: Uh, but no, we are. We're all optimistic because everybody 531 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: is zero and zero in the NFL. Of course, Indian 532 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: and Purdue have both won a game. We'll leave it 533 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: at that right now, KB, But we got the Colts 534 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: getting ready for Week one against the Miami Dolphins. Obviously 535 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: a lot of things different from the last time the 536 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: two teams played. But we've been talking about this kind 537 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: of ad nauseum. But but I'll bring it up again 538 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: for those just shoining us this morning, those first three games. 539 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: I can't underscore the importance of this schedule for those Colts. Again, 540 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: with Miami and Denver out of the game, the two 541 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: teams that you were battling nailed to nail with for 542 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: the final playoff spot in the AFC last year. You 543 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: get them right out of the gate, and you got 544 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: to make something happen. And then you go into You're 545 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: only playing Tennessee twice in the first I think eight weeks, 546 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: and then you play everybody else in the division in 547 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: the last six or seven. They got to get out 548 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: to this decent start here. It's gonna be a long season. 549 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I remember the night this schedule came 550 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 3: out back in May. I came in here the next morning. 551 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 3: I felt a little foolish to distress it, but I 552 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: was like, you know, weeks one and two Miami and Denver. 553 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 3: It might be foolish to say the word like playoff 554 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 3: implications on September third, but on December third or January third, 555 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: it could very well look like that. And so yes, 556 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: I would agree. I think outside of Houston, the two matchups, 557 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: which are both late in the year, I think these 558 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 3: are the two biggest games on the schedule, and largely 559 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 3: the Colt schedule in twenty twenty five is backloaded, which 560 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 3: I get that you have a new starting quarterback and 561 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 3: you have a new defense, but you've got to get 562 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 3: these games early because I think the schedule carries much 563 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: more challenging, whether it's road trips, whether it's just games 564 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: in general. Late in the year. You know, it's at 565 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: Kansas City, it's at Seattle, you know, both those Houston 566 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: games are late in the year. We'll see what San 567 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: Francisco is come late December. But right now, you look 568 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 3: at the schedule, guys, I mean, the Cults are probably 569 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 3: going to be favored and what for their first six 570 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 3: which is kind of wild to say, but if you 571 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 3: look at that schedule, there are some very very on 572 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 3: paper manageable opportunities for you early in the season. 573 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: James Boyd Kevin brought this up just a minute ago. 574 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: One of the things you do going into the first 575 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: week and over the last couple of a week, week, 576 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: ten days something like that, final roster cuts and then 577 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: they turn into waiver wire pickups and the other guys 578 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: get released. And now we come to a head where 579 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: we actually have a real too deep what's it look 580 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: like right now? And any surprises for you as the 581 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: Colts have their their roster and positional ranking set at 582 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: this point in time. 583 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: No, no surprises, I guess my biggest question mark outside 584 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: of quarterback obviously would be the other starting cornerback spot. 585 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: I believe Xavin Howard is listed as a starter on 586 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 2: the unofficial depth chart as of right now, and that 587 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 2: is quite the task for a guy who has not 588 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: played football since twenty twenty three. And for me, I 589 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 2: would like to think that he can play, but I 590 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: got to see it. I am probably a pessimist of 591 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 2: the highest order. When you're out of the league for 592 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: a year, somebody didn't sign you, and I know he 593 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: mentioned that some of they had to do with perhaps 594 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: the lawsuit he had against him. However, it's still a 595 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 2: long time to be out of the league, and we 596 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 2: know the NFL. Let's not pretend like they're going to be, 597 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: you know, hiring only people that are of the highest 598 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 2: you know, moral standing or whatever legal standing. Things like that. 599 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 2: If you can play, you play. So I am curious 600 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: to see what he looks like in his first game 601 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: in you know what twenty something months. 602 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 3: Well, James, I would add two. Not only did he 603 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 3: not play last year, but now he's trying to play 604 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 3: as a thirty two year old cornerback, which those just 605 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 3: don't grow on trees and so and he's facing his 606 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 3: former team, and you know, not that we watched a 607 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: lot of practice because he didn't get here until after 608 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 3: training camp was over. But you know when we were 609 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 3: out there, Alec Pierce did just cook him on one, 610 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 3: just simple go route, and I would think Mike McDaniel 611 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 3: was not born yesterday. I think he will dial up 612 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,479 Speaker 3: one or two to try and isolate Tyreek Hill and 613 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: or Jalen waddle on Xavion Howard. So yeah, that stands 614 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: out to me as a big Week one story line. 615 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 3: You know, how do your corners hold up against you know, 616 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 3: as lou Anroumo described the Miami offense yesterday, he could 617 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: carry the baton and close out a four by one 618 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 3: hundred race and he'd be pretty said with Devin ah Chain, 619 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell. So I mean they can 620 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 3: track meet you. The question is can you limit that 621 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: as best you can? They did a great job of 622 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 3: it last year, but again Toole was not operating under center. 623 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 3: And this is the guy that led the NFL and 624 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 3: competion percentage last year and it's just a much different quarterback. 625 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: So you know, that's really I think are a lot 626 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 3: of areas the Colts have advantages in this matchup. But 627 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: that is one that I have some concern. Can your 628 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 3: corners new corners hold up against a passing attack that 629 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 3: has guys that you better not get lulled asleep on 630 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: because if you do, you know, six can turn into 631 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 3: sixty pretty quick. 632 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've seen many a game where Jalen Waddle 633 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: is the guy that ends up having eight catches for 634 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen yards and two touchdowns because people 635 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: sometimes get overly concerned about Tyreek Hill and then another 636 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: speed merchant you talked about just a moment ago, you 637 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: better not let James Boyd Devon Chen get the corner 638 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: or you're gonna be waving goodbye. 639 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean a lot of it will have to 640 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: do with containment and making sure that you, like Kevin say, 641 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 2: you don't let those you know, little plays are into 642 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 2: huge plays. But that's kind of what the Dolphins have 643 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 2: been known for. And the math will be a little 644 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: a little bit different. We have two out there versus 645 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: some of the quarterbacks we saw last year or so. 646 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm just excited to see something that matters, something that counts, 647 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: and so we can get away from you know, what 648 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: could be what might be, look at what is and 649 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: then regroup from there depending on how things go. But yeah, 650 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: I'm also shout out to Alex Lover in our YouTube chat, 651 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: he was telling me he was not confusing the temptations 652 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: with me. I just like David Ruffan, you all anybody 653 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: coming to see you otis So I. 654 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 3: Thought you met the moment quite well. 655 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 2: You know, it's always a hater out there. But you know, 656 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm doing something right. But getting back to 657 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: the Colts, in all seriousness, I do think they have 658 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: everything sort of set up for them to win this 659 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: week one matchup. You know, the Dolphins are banged up up. 660 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: You know they're not I believe at the peak of 661 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: the powers like they were a couple of years ago 662 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 2: when they won eleven games. I believe and kind of 663 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 2: set all these records for points. I think they put 664 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: up seventy on somebody a couple of years ago. And 665 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: then now when you look at what the Colts are doing, 666 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: you do have I believe, a better defense. It might 667 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: be revamped, it might be different, but I mean it's 668 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: hard to get worse than what you had. And then offensively, 669 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: the belief again is that if you get steady quarterback play, 670 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 2: you should be able to you know, sustain enough offense 671 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 2: to put up some points. 672 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: Is Miami a team defensively that the Colts can play 673 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: ball control against? Can they just run the ball? I 674 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 1: don't know, thirty five times, keep the ball away from 675 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: Miami's offense and just wear them down? Is that? Is 676 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: that something that the Colts could do here? 677 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Miami's round evens I think a little better than 678 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 3: what people would think. And they remember they drafted Kenneth Grant, 679 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: the Merrillville product. 680 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: Just shout out to my god, Kenneth Grant. 681 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, just before the Colts took Tyler Warren and James 682 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: you know this full well, wouldn't that have been quite 683 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 3: the debate for Chris Ballard If Kenneth Grant was on 684 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: the board with Tyler Warren their pick, he. 685 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 2: Probably, you know, loved him because he loves all the 686 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: big guys. 687 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: And I don't know if the Colts fans would have 688 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: gotten answer they would have hoped for in all honesty, 689 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: had those two been on the board. So that's a 690 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 3: big body there. 691 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 5: You know. 692 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: They actually have a lot of names on the edge. 693 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: You know, Bradley Chubb, you know, Jalen Phillips missed last 694 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: year's matchup a former first round pick. They signed Matthew 695 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: Judon just a couple of weeks ago, so again they 696 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: have some of these names. It's like, all right, what's 697 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: left in the tank for some of these guys. Remember 698 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 3: they're very banged up corner wise. But they did trade, 699 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: you know, they traded Jalen Ramsey for Mika Fitzpatrick back 700 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 3: in the spring, and we've seen Minka, of course, you know, 701 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 3: have some huge moments in his career against the Colts. 702 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 3: So definitely an ability I think to, yeah, try and 703 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 3: play the ball control and you know that's how you know, 704 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 3: the Colts are going to largely be built on managing it, 705 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: on you know, living in more than the audical nature. 706 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: I think this Colts offense is going to have to 707 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 3: be more of the ten play eighty R drives than 708 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 3: the other aspect to it of you know, hey, we're 709 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 3: gonna sprinkle in some big plays here. It's gonna have 710 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 3: to be more of a methodical moving offense with Daniel 711 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 3: Jones operating things and certainly Jonathan Taylor will be a 712 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: big big part of it. 713 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 2: Was Week one last year, was that the game that 714 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: Anthony had the three completions of at least fifty yards. 715 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: I remember that correctly, Kevin, because yeah, yeah, the moonshot 716 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: to Alec Pierce. 717 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Doolan had a big one, right, Yeah, that was one. 718 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: Of the best roles, probably the best role I've ever 719 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: seen in my life. In person. 720 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: We were all in on Anthony Richards at the end 721 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: of that game, weren't we for the most. 722 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: Person I mean, yeah, or at least the experience because 723 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: the completion percent is wasn't there, but you had the huge, 724 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: you know, field flipping plays. Whereas what Kevin points out 725 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: I think is more realistic for this offense, really for 726 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 2: any offense, is you want to be able to sustain. 727 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: I think that's what the culture trading. They're like, Okay, 728 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: maybe we don't get those highlight reel plays, but at 729 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 2: the end of the day, we actually get something to 730 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: come away from it, because it's hard. It's hard to 731 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 2: sustain that level of explosiveness, especially when you're not consistent 732 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: with the other little things, and so I'm curious see 733 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: how that goes. But also, you know, beyond the quarterback play, 734 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: I think a lot of it will come down to 735 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: if you do want to control the game and you know, 736 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: run the ball. JT is obviously a big part of that. 737 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, he's one of the best backs in the 738 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: league still, but what it looked like behind him. Will 739 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: get more clarity on Tyler Goodson and his elbow later 740 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: today with the injury report and also just seeing practice 741 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 2: ourselves and taking attendance. But also what does that mean 742 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: for DJ Giddens, the rookie. How much burn is he 743 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 2: gonna get? Well, I'm using slang, I'm sorry. Burn in 744 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 2: my world means time, playing time when it comes to 745 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 2: week one. 746 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also have just kind of found myself 747 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 3: going here as week one gets closer and that Daniel 748 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: Jones era gets closer. What an opportunity for Daniel Jones. 749 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 3: I mean, when you think about it, his career was 750 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 3: dead in New York, he asked to be traded. He 751 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 3: goes to Minnesota and he's the third stringer there, nothing 752 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: happens at all, and all of a sudden he finds 753 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 3: an opportunity where there's a legit quarterback battle. He now 754 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 3: is a starter again in the NFL. And the last 755 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 3: time we saw him he was got awful. Yeah, and 756 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: now he has one of the thirty two jobs. He's 757 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,239 Speaker 3: in the easiest division in the AFC. He's with an 758 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 3: offense that has a bona Fie top five running back. 759 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: He has a tight end that was just drafted, you know, 760 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 3: coming off of arguably the greatest college football season we've 761 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 3: seen for a tight end in thirty some years. He's 762 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 3: got an O line that largely is intact a pass 763 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 3: catching corps at wide out that you would think is 764 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 3: the best it's been in a while. I mean, what 765 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 3: an unbelievable opportunity for Daniel Jones to save his career. 766 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 3: And I'm very fascinated to watch how he reacts to 767 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: all of this. This is not New York of the 768 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 3: six overall pick pressure expectations are beyond low for him. 769 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: And if he just seemingly goes out there and has 770 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 3: a decent one year, he can turn it into what 771 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold and some these others have done there. So 772 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 3: you know how Daniel Jones reacts to all of this, 773 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 3: because I do think the leash is longer than it 774 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 3: was for Joe flaccol last year. I'm gonna be super 775 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 3: curious to watch. 776 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: It just makes me think, can you imagine any other 777 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: industry where you could be objectively bad at what you're 778 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: doing for two years, have one, not two employers give 779 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: up on you, and then recover with a fourteen million 780 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: dollars a year contract to get a chance to start 781 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: all over again. That's golden right there. You talk about opportunity, Kevin, 782 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: that's golden right there. And if you perform, if you 783 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: perform fairly well this year, you're gonna. 784 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 2: Make twice that at some point in the future for 785 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 2: their life. Which two gave up on him, I know obviously. 786 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: Vikings, Oh well, well he wasn't going anywhere with the Vikings. 787 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. 788 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 2: Well they wanted him back. That that's what to be about. Yeah, 789 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: they wanted him back. 790 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: But as a starter. Nobody wanted him as a starter. 791 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I was just making sure I was confused 792 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 2: for a second, But yeah, they wanted him back, and 793 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 2: he turned him down because he came to Indianapolis thinking 794 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 2: that he could take a job and want a job, 795 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 2: and he did. Speaking of that, I actually have a 796 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: story just came out at the top of this hour 797 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: on Anthony Richardson. I spoke to one on one. This 798 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 2: was at training camp five days actually before they officially 799 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 2: named Jones the starter. There's some stuff in there from 800 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 2: Ar and one of the quotes that sticks with me 801 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: that I use in the story. And again this is 802 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 2: all before he was demoted again, and we were standing 803 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: on the practice field just kind of set the sting 804 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones runs by to go do his media 805 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: and I have Ar one on one and I tell him, 806 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, man, I know you're a good teammate and 807 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,959 Speaker 2: I know you're not going to like sabotage this guy, 808 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: but he did come here to take what's yours in 809 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 2: a sense, to take your job. And I asked him, 810 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: how do you feel about that? And Anthony's response was, 811 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 2: this is a quote that he gave me. Man, you 812 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 2: can't let nobody come in your house and eat your 813 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: food without permission. That's the way I think about it. 814 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 2: They brought in man to come do a job and 815 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 2: take a job. Ultimately, it's like, yeah, I can't let 816 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 2: anybody come in here and take over what I've got 817 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: going on. But then again, I can't think about that. 818 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: I just got to get better and improve in every aspect, 819 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 2: so them naming me QB one will be easy. And 820 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 2: then again, you talk about nobody taking what's yours and 821 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 2: coming into your house, and five days later Daniel Jones 822 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: kicking the set up on the couch saying I'm home. 823 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: So I'm very curious to see and the story is 824 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 2: kind of laid it out, like what does Anthony do 825 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 2: from here? When you're being told that they still believe 826 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: in you, but your opportunities to kind of showcase who 827 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 2: you are are very, very limited. And I do believe 828 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 2: the next time he takes the field, which is likely 829 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 2: because most teams last year did not play just one 830 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 2: quarterback all year, and most of that had to do 831 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: with injuries. Even if it's just for a game or two, 832 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 2: the next time Anthony Rison starts in Indianapolis, even if 833 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 2: he isn't the guy in Indianapolis, that will be such 834 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 2: a huge moment in his career. And I know the 835 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 2: Colts will try to tell us that, oh, it doesn't 836 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: mean you know ever ever, or it's not a make 837 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: or break season. But kind of going back to what 838 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: Zach Keifer wrote in The Athletic recently, with some of 839 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 2: these quarterback plans, this is the type of stuff that 840 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: will break you or can break you if you're a 841 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: young quarterback. So I'm very very curious to see how 842 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 2: Anthony bounces back. And then the last quote I'll give you, 843 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 2: which I think was the most like ominous in a way, 844 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: because it's always better you get a player one on one, 845 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 2: especially you have a relationship with him, you can kind 846 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 2: of just shoot to him straight. So I literally told him, 847 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,439 Speaker 2: I said, you do realize. At the time, I didn't 848 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 2: know if he was going to start or not, but 849 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 2: I was like, man, if this doesn't work out with you, 850 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 2: it's not just you know. I just told him, Hey, 851 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: everyone could lose their jobs if you're not the guy, 852 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 2: if you're not the right guy. And he responded and said, quote, 853 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 2: everybody knows how the business goes. If it doesn't work 854 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 2: out with me, then people got to make decisions. But 855 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 2: none of us are thinking like that. We're thinking about winning, 856 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 2: because if you think about failure, then that's what you're 857 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 2: going to lead to. We're thinking about success. We're thinking 858 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 2: about work and thinking about waste can improve this team 859 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: if we're worried about getting fired or losing our jobs 860 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: and we're worried about the wrong thing. Personally, I love 861 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,479 Speaker 2: the pressure. That's the only way to you get better. 862 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 2: So now I'm like Okay, well you lost your job. 863 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 2: A ton of pressure's on you, a ton of person 864 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: on the regime to basically say that Daniel Jones was 865 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 2: the right choice. And so I'm very curious because all 866 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 2: of this makes it exciting to me if and when 867 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: he takes the field again, but also a bit frightening 868 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: if you're the Cults, because you have to be right 869 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 2: on one of the other. You don't really get a 870 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 2: do over if you miss obviously on Anthony so far 871 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 2: it looks like a miss, and if you miss again 872 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 2: on Daniel Jones. So very curious to see how it 873 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: all plays out, but also thankful that ar kind of 874 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 2: gave me some time before things went down, and yeah, 875 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 2: you said all the right things then, and now it's 876 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 2: very curious to see how what does it all mean? 877 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: So check that piece out. There's other stuff in there 878 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 2: as well, about how he talked about the tap out leadership, 879 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 2: all these things he had to learn, and it feels 880 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 2: like the Cults are trying to reverse engineer it a bit, 881 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: and I don't know if that's just gonna work. 882 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be fascinating if and when, 883 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: and we don't wish injury on anybody, But it's the NFL. 884 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: And what was the stat you gave the other day 885 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,240 Speaker 1: about how many quarterbacks yet? 886 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 2: Nine starting quarterbacks last year for thirty two teams. 887 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: So if and when, let's say Daniel Jones is okay, 888 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: like he's been most of his careers, okay, but he 889 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: goes down with an ankle injury for a week and 890 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Richard comes in. Richardson comes in and he plays 891 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: lights out. Now what do you do if you're the 892 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. This is the guy you drafted to be 893 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback three years ago. And I know Daniel 894 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: Jones comes in and beats him out, But what if 895 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: what if he is taking all this time and he 896 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: does continue And I'm just saying what if? But what 897 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: if he comes out and has a terrific game in 898 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: the absence in week five of an ankle injury for 899 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Now what do the Colts do? They just 900 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: go right back to Daniel Jones. 901 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that because I think some 902 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 3: people brought up that's why the Colts weren't playing Anthony 903 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 3: richards in a Week three of the preseason. They didn't 904 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 3: want him to have a good game and all of 905 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 3: a sudden the chatter start to rise again. 906 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,959 Speaker 2: I can't buy that. 907 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,959 Speaker 3: Part of me thinks, honestly, if they don't use Anthony 908 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 3: richard in short yardage, they are a bit afraid of 909 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 3: Richardson walking onto the field and having some success in 910 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 3: that chatter building. I know that's a very but. 911 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 2: You can't think like they can't. 912 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 3: Well, you can think like that when you're sitting there 913 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 3: talking to each other up in that luxury suite and 914 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 3: you're watching guys playing football. 915 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: There's nothing else to do but talk about that thought that. 916 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 3: I'm strictly just that is my gut feel. I don't 917 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 3: want to infer anything else off of that, but that's 918 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 3: just how I feel about the situation of they. I mean, 919 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 3: they're not idiots. They were at Grand Park listening to 920 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 3: the crowd's reaction with Anthony Richardson was under center versus 921 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is under center. They know full well what 922 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 3: the chatter is. And if all of a sudden that 923 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 3: guy comes out of the field and starts to show 924 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 3: you something and the other guy maybe isn't showing you that, 925 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 3: they get how that looks. And again, I know that's 926 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 3: an optic thing, and you want to sit here because, 927 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 3: let's be honest, what is one of the best chances 928 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 3: for the Colts to have great success this season? You 929 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 3: don't think Anthony Richardson would be an asset in short yardage? 930 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 3: You don't think if richard sent do we need to 931 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 3: pop in the film of him scoring the touchdown against 932 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 3: the Jets or I agree? I mean like that's there. 933 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 3: He is at his best. So not utilizing that, to me, 934 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 3: is a disservice to your football team. So what would 935 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 3: be the why in not utilizing that? Are you grounding him? 936 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 3: Are you punishing him? Because that quote that Shane Seng 937 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 3: gave last week, that sounded like a grounding quote. That 938 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 3: sounded like you go to your room and you don't 939 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 3: even think about turn on the TV, you. 940 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: Go to the porta potty, don't even think about coming out. 941 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 3: Seriously, So again, that's probably a little bit more of 942 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 3: a you know, gut feel the cults are private. Heavily 943 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 3: pushed back against that, but it was just my thoughts. 944 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: Graham from Abe on texting at two three nine ten 945 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: seventy says, I'm gonna be honest, I truly think Shane 946 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: made his decision on quarterback one the moment Ar took 947 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: that shot in Baltimore, and that might have been if 948 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: if he was on the fence, that might have been it. 949 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: Right there, mister Simon getting hurt, same old, same old, right. 950 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 2: That certainly didn't help his case. I don't think he 951 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 2: made that decision solely off of that. But when you're 952 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: neck and neck in a position battle, which I perceived 953 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: it to be, then yeah, that's certainly a big mark 954 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: against you. Because we were just thinking, here we go again, 955 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 2: and by most accounts, and a lot of these people 956 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,800 Speaker 2: were NFL quarterbacks, one of them being Kurt Warner. They're saying, 957 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 2: this is basic stuff. You gotta know this stuff, and 958 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 2: to missing assignment like that, especially on that stage. It's 959 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 2: your preseason opener, first time we've seen you play live 960 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 2: football in months, and you go out like that. Tough scene. 961 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: Yes, Georgia. 962 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,479 Speaker 3: So, by the way, going back to Graham's point, Yeah, 963 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 3: I do think got Ravens play was the finally on 964 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 3: the coffin. I mean, the preseason as elementary as they 965 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 3: come for these teams, and they're running basic insallt stuff, 966 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 3: and when you screw that up, it's just one more hammer, 967 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,760 Speaker 3: you know what, one more hammer. 968 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 2: To add to that thought, Kevin, I think sometimes I 969 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 2: think I've said this on the air, AR can come 970 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 2: off a bit too nonchalant, like even after that game, 971 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: I gotta be on my p's and q's. You know, 972 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 2: it is what it is, kind of like mentality. You 973 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 2: probably need to own it more. And I'm not saying 974 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 2: that he didn't do something to own up to it 975 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 2: or didn't you know, acknowledge fact that he messed up, 976 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 2: but I would think you probably want to sound just 977 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 2: a bit more urgent or serious about it. And I 978 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 2: think from his mind a lot of had you with 979 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 2: the injury. It's like, oh, I want to downplay the 980 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 2: injury stuff because I don't want this thing to kind 981 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 2: of follow me around. But man, his reaction to it, 982 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: I thought, was just like, wow, that's what you think. 983 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 2: It was just like p's and q's. What else do 984 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 2: you think about perhaps one of the biggest plays of 985 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 2: your preseason ending in that fashion. 986 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 3: So I would agree. I think it's at times a 987 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 3: little bit too lackadaisical. 988 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might want to even if it's just performative. 989 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, just get up there and say, you know, 990 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 2: I have to do this better. I gotta do this. 991 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: This was unacceptable. But it's kind of just like, ah, well. 992 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 3: Well I've always felt that way about the TapouT, going 993 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 3: to the podium. After the TapouT, you need to come 994 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 3: up there and be like, yeah, I felt my oblique again, 995 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,919 Speaker 3: and you know what, and I need like and again, yes, 996 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 3: find us and yes it would be a performive act. 997 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: But you'll say I was tired because. 998 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 3: Right now there is a large I don't know about large, 999 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 3: but there's defuly a chunk of the fan base, people 1000 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 3: for that organization, people around the NFL that as soon 1001 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 3: as they saw the tap out, they were done with them. 1002 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, and just to I know, we got to get 1003 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 2: to break just real quick. When we asked Anthony about 1004 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 2: the tap out, that was after Shane had already said 1005 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 2: he'd been tired. So just to give you some context there, 1006 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 2: when we were in the press confers room after that 1007 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 2: game in Houston, Shane comes out first and he said, oh, 1008 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 2: he just needed one, and then we ask ar and 1009 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 2: then he confirmed that he was tired. So people say, oh, 1010 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 2: he should have just said he wasn't tired. Is that 1011 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 2: a moment where your coach should I don't know, like 1012 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's a little more layer 1013 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 2: than that, but ultimately you just can't do that as 1014 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 2: a player. 1015 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 3: One thing I want to get to after Stephen Holder 1016 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 3: joins us and that piece you mentioned, James from Zach 1017 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 3: Keith for Crisp bound out a quote in there about 1018 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 3: it's easier to find a quarterback when you have one. 1019 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 3: I thought that was a really interesting quote from the 1020 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 3: Colts GM. I want to get a little bit deeper 1021 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 3: into that after Stephen Holder joins us. 1022 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: Well, Stephen Holder is up next and we'll speak with him, 1023 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: and you can listen in at two three, nine, ten 1024 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: to seventy on the text line and just check it 1025 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: all out for yourself, get your reactions, and let us 1026 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 1: know what you think, you hear and what you believe 1027 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,800 Speaker 1: the Colts will be doing in Week one against the 1028 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. It comes up next at ninety three five 1029 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: and one oh seven five of the Fame. 1030 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 3: Alright, eight o'clock on a Wednesday. It is the first 1031 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 3: I guess official NFL Wednesday of the air get injury 1032 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 3: report coming up later today, Colts will practice again that 1033 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 3: normal cadence Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Shane Stike and will meet 1034 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 3: the media coming up later today to talk more about 1035 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 3: all of this. And I guess I should start with 1036 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,399 Speaker 3: a heartfelt even though I don't mean it at all, 1037 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 3: but hopefully he thinks I mean it. Stephen Holderkin grats 1038 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 3: to Miami Hurricanes. 1039 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I don't know how to take that 1040 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 5: but sort of half assed compliment, but I'll take it. 1041 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 5: I'll take it because I like it. Listen that that 1042 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 5: was a good start. I was nervous, so I'll take it. 1043 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. 1044 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 3: Carson Beck made a couple of plays that I'm thinking myself, 1045 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 3: Oh boy, Miami might might have a little something of that. 1046 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 3: That D line continues to look like that, and Carson 1047 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 3: Beck looks like that. It could be a team that's 1048 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 3: playing deep into the month of January. 1049 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we'll see. I do. I was hopeful 1050 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,479 Speaker 5: about Beck and I think, you know, look, this guy 1051 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 5: less than two years ago was a projected number one pick. 1052 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 5: I mean, like this time last year, I think he 1053 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 5: was like a projected number one pick at one point. 1054 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,240 Speaker 5: And you know, I don't know what happened in the interiom, 1055 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 5: but there's something in him right that it's there somewhere, 1056 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 5: so let's see if he can bring it out. 1057 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 2: So obviously the Colts hope pivoting a bit to the NFL, Stephen, 1058 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: that they can bring the best out of Daniel Jones 1059 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 2: now that he's kind of been in that role. Steven, 1060 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 2: what have you been able to perhaps glean from the 1061 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 2: coaching staff for players about the type of player who 1062 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 2: will be stepping into the most important position in the 1063 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 2: sport and a huge position for this franchise in particular, 1064 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 2: that just hasn't been able to find that consistent answer 1065 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 2: at quarterback. 1066 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it really has just been reinforced to me. 1067 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 5: Everything that I've seen and heard has been reinforced to 1068 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 5: me that this is it's certainly about Daniel Jones, but 1069 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 5: it's less about him than other people, and it's about 1070 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 5: it's about Michael Pittman and Josh Downs and Tyler Warren 1071 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 5: and Alec Paris and Jonathan Taylor. I mean, this is 1072 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 5: a bet on those guys. The way that Daniel Jones 1073 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 5: plays a role here, as best as I can tell, 1074 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 5: is that they think he will maximize those guys. I mean, certainly, 1075 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 5: you know, Anthony Richardson, you know can certainly get a 1076 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 5: lot out of guys with his big playability, but just 1077 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 5: to consistently get as much as you can out of 1078 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 5: those guys on each and every play, that's what the 1079 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 5: Colts are hoping for here. So by getting into the 1080 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 5: right play and setting the right protections and all those 1081 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 5: pre snap things they're talking about, they think that will 1082 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 5: enable those guys to be maximized. Whether it's a checkdown 1083 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 5: or a quick out or whatever it is. It probably 1084 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 5: won't be sexy, but that's where their heads are at, 1085 00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 5: and we'll see if they're right. 1086 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: Steven Holder joining us here on the Payloss Liquors hotline. Steven, 1087 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm just curious you mentioned some of those players just 1088 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 1: a moment ago. What kind of early contribution do you 1089 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 1: think is possible for Tyler Warren? Like, how involved will 1090 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: he be in this offense right away? 1091 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 5: Well, it'll be interesting to see, because I do think 1092 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 5: that there are a lot of guys that deserve the 1093 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 5: football here. So I don't think they're going to force 1094 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 5: feed Tyler Warren, you know, and I don't know what 1095 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 5: that means from a like fantasy perspective or what have you. 1096 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 5: If people are interested in that, I think we got 1097 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 5: to feel that out. But I do believe that he 1098 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 5: will be in pactful because when he does get the ball, 1099 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 5: he has the ability to make plays. And I think 1100 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 5: the area that interests being most perhaps is after the catch, 1101 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 5: because you know, we don't think of Tyler Warren as like, 1102 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 5: you know, this Sam Laporter type of guy who is 1103 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 5: maybe you know, just a real speed guy and this high, 1104 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 5: high level athlete. I mean, Tyler Warren is a great athlete, 1105 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,760 Speaker 5: but but he's he's different and that he's much more physical. 1106 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 5: So I think really his run after the catch will 1107 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 5: be Okay, I got the ball, Now you got to 1108 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 5: tackle me, as opposed to I'm gonna run away from you. 1109 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 5: So that's gonna make it hard, I think for if 1110 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 5: he gets the right matchups. I mean, if you get 1111 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 5: him on a on a nickel corner for example, I mean, 1112 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 5: that's gonna be a long day. Now, he'll probably get 1113 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 5: some linebackers, but he's also a good enough athlete that 1114 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 5: he can he can get away from those guys. So 1115 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 5: I think after the catch is where I'm really intrigued 1116 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 5: to watch Tyler Warren. But I do think, at least initially, 1117 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 5: it may not be the force feeding kind of situation 1118 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,359 Speaker 5: that maybe you would think with a first round pick, 1119 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 5: particularly as a tight end on a team with a 1120 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 5: lot of other weapons. 1121 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 3: Steven, would you be more surprised if the Colts finish 1122 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,399 Speaker 3: this year drafting in the top eight or the bottom eight? 1123 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 3: I don't know why I have quartiles on my mind, 1124 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 3: but you think better chance they finish as the top 1125 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 3: eight drafting team or. 1126 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 5: R I p I guess I would say I'd probably 1127 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 5: be more surprised if it's the bottom eight. And that 1128 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 5: is not to suggest that I believe in Daniel Jones. 1129 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest, I kind of don't, but but 1130 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 5: I think I think it's possible he can be the 1131 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 5: game manager they want. That that is certainly possible. Right. Uh, 1132 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 5: He's not gonna win them games in my opinion, but 1133 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 5: I think this team has enough depth and enough talent 1134 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 5: throughout it that if they're in the bottom eight, if 1135 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 5: they're picking in the bottom eight, then something went seriously wrong. 1136 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 5: And I think Shane Steiken, you know, I think the 1137 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 5: jury is still out on him as a head coach, 1138 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 5: but he has gotten a fair amount out of the 1139 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 5: team in the first two years without any consistency at quarterbacks, 1140 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 5: which is the biggest factor. He hasn't had that, and 1141 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 5: there's still a five hundred team over his first two years, 1142 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 5: So he's doing something right, even though I still think 1143 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 5: he's got more to prove. So I think given all 1144 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 5: of that, i'd be surprised if they're in that company. 1145 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 5: But the preseason predictions for this team nationally, for whatever 1146 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 5: that's worth, not much, but for whatever that's worth, including 1147 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 5: at the place I work ESPN, they're not very complimentary. 1148 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 5: I would say that, do you think? 1149 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 3: And I guess it's hard to I guess I apologize 1150 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 3: a little bit for asking the question, and it's hard 1151 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 3: to know. We don't know a lot about carl Ors 1152 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 3: Gordon and necessarily where she's drawn the line in terms 1153 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 3: of evaluations. Do you think a playoff berth is enough 1154 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 3: for this regime to run it back for another year? 1155 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 5: I think it's I think possibly it depends on what 1156 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 5: it looks like. I mean, that's that's always the answer there, right, 1157 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 5: But I think that it depends. You know, I think 1158 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 5: you can back into the playoffs, and you can also 1159 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 5: make the playoffs in good standing and looking like you're 1160 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 5: a competent team. It can look very different depending on 1161 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 5: the circumstances. So I would like to see what it 1162 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,439 Speaker 5: looks like. And I think I think she's pragmatic enough 1163 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 5: that those things matter for her too, Like what's the 1164 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,880 Speaker 5: what's the future look like? The trajectory? All that matters 1165 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 5: because Carly is a She's a thinker from all indications, 1166 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 5: you know, she's someone who who definitely looks at the 1167 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 5: bigger picture. And I think is less emotional than her father. 1168 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,319 Speaker 5: It's not a that's not a compliment or a or 1169 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,439 Speaker 5: a disparaging remarket. It's just a fact, right, Jim Marse 1170 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 5: he moved and decided things many times with this gut Curly. 1171 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 5: I'm sure has some of that in her sisters, but 1172 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 5: but I think they are much more pragmatic and we'll 1173 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 5: look at the bigger picture and much more black and white. 1174 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, amazed at him using pragmatic twice. 1175 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: We have ESPN Stephen Holder on the line with us, 1176 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, I got to google this word. I 1177 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 2: know what it means, but if you put me in 1178 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,319 Speaker 2: a spell with the contest right now, I could not 1179 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 2: spell that correctly. I don't think. 1180 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 5: Hey, listen, they'll just hire anybody at the worldwide Leader Buddy. 1181 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:36,080 Speaker 3: I hire Mike Wells to be fair, I had big 1182 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 3: shoes to fill. 1183 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that Julie's showing up to practice. Speaking 1184 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 2: of practice, first one today official for the season, and 1185 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,719 Speaker 2: we'll hear from Shane Ssichen later today. But when it 1186 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 2: comes to preparing for Miami, what type of challenges do 1187 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 2: you think they present, particularly when it comes to the secondary, Stephen, 1188 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 2: Because as much as personally I want to believe in 1189 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 2: that group, I do have questions beca There's been so 1190 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 2: much change and turnover, and we know that lou Anrumo 1191 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,360 Speaker 2: is known for putting a lot on the secondary. And 1192 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 2: do you think that this week could be a big 1193 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 2: test for them considering that when they had their quarterback 1194 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 2: this year in Tua and just the speed on the outside. 1195 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think look at when when that 1196 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,840 Speaker 5: group has been you know in stride. I'm talking about 1197 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 5: you know Tua and his playmakers. They are a lot 1198 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 5: to handle and I think that is that's where this 1199 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 5: game is going to be won and lost in my opinion. 1200 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:33,840 Speaker 5: You know, I think the Colts are going to do 1201 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,759 Speaker 5: what they do offensively, and it'll be sort of humdrum. 1202 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 5: But you know, I think if they get into a 1203 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,719 Speaker 5: shootout with this team, I don't like their chances that 1204 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 5: that can't happen. This defense has to hold up and 1205 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 5: and the way I think that will play out and 1206 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,839 Speaker 5: be determined will be preventing the big plays. If they 1207 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 5: start giving up big plays, I think it's gonna be 1208 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 5: a long day or potentially, so they've got to I 1209 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 5: think it's gonna be a great test for this secondary 1210 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,359 Speaker 5: right off the back. We're going to learn a lot 1211 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,880 Speaker 5: about him right away, and I want to see. I 1212 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 5: want to see if they can pull this off, because 1213 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 5: I mean a Rumo lots being put on his shoulders here, right. 1214 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 5: Can he be the guy the day? Hope he is. 1215 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 5: So I think a lot of people early on the 1216 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,839 Speaker 5: secondary and Luanna Rumo are going to be tested and 1217 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 5: maybe something will be revealed about them. 1218 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 2: Steven, the Colts have not won a season opener. I 1219 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 2: believe since twenty thirteen? Were you on the beat? And 1220 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 2: if not, where were you in twenty thirteen? 1221 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 5: Okay, so I went through this yesterday with Quarry. It's hilarious. 1222 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,280 Speaker 5: That was my first regular season Colts game. I had 1223 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 5: just gotten to the Indianapolis and I moved here. I 1224 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 5: believe my daughter was like four and she was I 1225 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 5: think in like pre k as James knows because he's 1226 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 5: been to our football games at Lawrence North where she's 1227 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 5: a cheerleader. She's sixteen now and she's a junior in 1228 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 5: high school. They still haven't won another one. It's incredible. 1229 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 5: It's really one of the more incredible stats in sports. 1230 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 5: And every time I bring this up to someone, like 1231 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,480 Speaker 5: on a national radio program or or even within my 1232 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 5: own colleagues at ESPN, people look at me like I 1233 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 5: have three heads because they don't believe it's possible. There's 1234 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 5: two stats with the Colts that that people are bewildered by. 1235 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 5: It's that one and then also the fact that which 1236 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,520 Speaker 5: is you know, maybe there's something there that one and 1237 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 5: maybe the fact that they haven't won the AFC South 1238 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 5: since twenty fourteen. People it takes them a while to 1239 00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 5: digest those two stats. 1240 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, what's the other one. They haven't won in 1241 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 2: Jacksonville since twenty fourteen, so there's a few streaks there exactly. 1242 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 5: I mean, basically the last twelve years of this franchise. 1243 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 3: I mean, what were they even doing, I guess, Steven, 1244 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 3: close it out. You want to take a stab at 1245 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 3: who was the leading receiver in that win over the Raiders? 1246 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 3: How about leading receiver, leading tackler Terrell pryor was the 1247 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 3: opposing quarter back of that game? I think that that 1248 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 3: trivia question we've probably played out enough there. The Colts 1249 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,720 Speaker 3: leading receiver in that game was who. 1250 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:13,879 Speaker 5: That's twenty thirteen opener? Oh my goodness, there's no way 1251 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 5: it was Darius Hayward Bay. Was it? 1252 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 3: Darris Hayward Bay was second? Three catches for thirty three yards, 1253 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 3: the leading receiver going into his fourth year as wide 1254 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 3: receivers coach for the Colts. It was Reggie winning eight catches. 1255 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 3: That's actually crazy. The leading tackler fifteen tackles for this 1256 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 3: guy in the season opening win. And I sure if 1257 00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 3: Darrell Freeman was it? Darrell Freeman was third and tackles 1258 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 3: in that game. I'm sure this man had quite a 1259 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 3: lot to say in front of his locker with a 1260 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 3: little action figure, incredible hulk. 1261 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 5: Afterwards, lon Landgrey l. 1262 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 3: Ron Landry with fifteen tackles? 1263 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 2: What a name as the goodness? 1264 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 5: What time of. 1265 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: See what you learned today? 1266 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 3: Steven? 1267 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 5: Why it's time to be alive. I mean, I'm telling 1268 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 5: you that was quite an era. It was. It was 1269 00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 5: something wow. Yeah, that mean the Lauren Landry era. It 1270 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 5: lasted like six months and it was good for six months. 1271 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 5: That's about it. 1272 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,560 Speaker 1: It's always good to talk to you, Stephen. I know 1273 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: we have made it through the long dark season and 1274 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,640 Speaker 1: we've got NFL football at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. 1275 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: Can't wait to see you there and enjoy the rest 1276 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 1: of your week and we'll we'll all get there countdown 1277 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 1: to kick off together. 1278 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 5: All right, I'll see you guys soon. 1279 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 1: There is Stephen Holder on the Paylos Liquors hotline.

I think I think we again. 1286 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 2: Sports is the only place we can really hate the 1287 00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 2: other side and it'd be justified. 1288 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 3: Like do people actually really mean it? Like I'm proud 1289 00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,240 Speaker 3: that your team won't like you. 1290 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 2: Know, No, I'm one hundred percent I'm proud. 1291 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,760 Speaker 3: No one really means that, right, No. 1292 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 2: How'd you feel about this speech? Afterwards? 1293 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 6: I know. 1294 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,919 Speaker 2: I saw that reposted a million times from your coach 1295 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 2: down at a Notre Dame. Well, I'm playing on his name, 1296 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman. I saw his locker room speech after the game, 1297 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 2: and I don't know if I'm just like this, but 1298 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, when's the next game? 1299 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 3: Got show up week from Saturday? 1300 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 2: Got a ball out? I ain't trying to hear that. 1301 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to hear that or anybody else who 1302 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:32,919 Speaker 2: beat my team. 1303 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 3: What do you want to not to say anything? 1304 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 2: Not to share it with me? I don't need that. 1305 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 2: It is funny though, and this is this goes with 1306 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 2: every coach everywhere. When you believe in the coach, the 1307 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 2: reaction to certain videos is always great. It's like, oh 1308 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 2: my gosh, we got our guy. He's amazing, and it's like, well, 1309 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 2: you better win in Texas A and now, yeah, that 1310 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 2: was Shane Steichen saying exactly. So it always is like, man, 1311 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't know what he's talking about, and they're saying 1312 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 2: the same exact things. You know, one just has I 1313 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,760 Speaker 2: guess a better haircut or something like who cares. 1314 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 3: Let's Marcus Freeman's done a little bit more as a 1315 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 3: college This is very true. 1316 01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 2: No, I'll give him credit for that. You go to 1317 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 2: the naw championship game. I can't dismiss that. 1318 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 3: I wanted to bring this up again. Tach Keifer wrote, 1319 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 3: I thought a great piece and hopefully we'll get Zach 1320 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 3: on here coat up tomorrow. 1321 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 2: I hope. But man, he lives in this city. He 1322 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:20,479 Speaker 2: will be on the show. 1323 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 3: I don't know. He's now a national. 1324 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 2: You know, Zach Keifer still owe me because he told 1325 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 2: me when I joined the Colts Beat that this is 1326 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 2: the most stable team. They they're really good. You know, 1327 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 2: nothing really ever too crazy happens. This is this is 1328 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 2: I'm not joking. He literally told me all this, like 1329 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 2: are you gonna come here It's gonna be smooth? 1330 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:38,640 Speaker 3: Or we should blame Zach keeper for all this? 1331 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,040 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he set me up because he knew twenty 1332 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 2: twenty two was gonna be a disaster. And then he left. 1333 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 3: Zach wrote a piece on you know why quarterbacks and 1334 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 3: again this is the league wide why high draft picks 1335 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 3: oftentimes you know, don't work out or you know, I 1336 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 3: think a lot of this is kind of rooted in 1337 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 3: that Kevin O'Connell quote that he had the Minnesota Viking 1338 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 3: tad coach last year of organizations fail young quarterbacks more 1339 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 3: than young quarterbacks fail organizations. And in that piece he 1340 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 3: had a comment from Chris Ballard where it's easier to 1341 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 3: find one when you've got one. And I found that 1342 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 3: Ballard quote particularly interesting. It makes sense given Ballard's background. 1343 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 3: And I say that in regards to Kansas City. You know, 1344 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 3: Kansas City had Alex Smith. They were winning football games, 1345 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 3: they were making the playoffs, but there was a clear, 1346 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 3: defined ceiling with Alex Smith. So what happened They went 1347 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 3: out and pulled off a draft night trade that probably 1348 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 3: no one really saw coming and moving up from whatever 1349 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 3: it was twenty seven to twenty nine all the way 1350 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 3: up to like ten or twelve to get Patrick Mahomes 1351 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen. Mahomes sat for a year. 1352 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:50,360 Speaker 5: Boom. 1353 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 3: The rest is history. I guess I bring that up 1354 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 3: guys to say, like, when do you think the Colts 1355 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 3: could have done that? When could they have done the 1356 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 3: We've got one, now we need to go find the 1357 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 3: next one, because clearly that is on Ballard's mind. Yet 1358 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 3: they haven't done that at all. You know, Matt Ryan 1359 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 3: was certainly not that drafted Anthony Richard. 1360 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 1: It's tough to do that when after Andrew everything was 1361 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: kind of a one year experiment, right, Philip Rivers one 1362 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 1: year didn't want to play again. 1363 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 3: Honestly, the only time would have been that first draft. 1364 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 3: You know, if you go out there and you sign Rivers, 1365 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 3: which they obviously did. After the twenty nineteen season, Luck 1366 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 3: Boom retires in August, Chakobe Brissett seven to nine, you 1367 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 3: go to that next year's draft, that would have been 1368 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 3: the time sign Rivers. Here is the one year, maybe 1369 01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 3: two years of Philip Rivers. Here is the you know, unbelievable. 1370 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,360 Speaker 3: You know, people lawed Philip Rivers for his work, ethic, 1371 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 3: his professionalism, all of that that's in your building. And 1372 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 3: then what if you draft Jordan Love When you're sitting 1373 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 3: there with the thirteenth overall pick and Love went what 1374 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 3: in the twenties and the Colts had I think a 1375 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 3: little questions about Love and that quarterback standard. What if 1376 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 3: you drafted Jalen Hurts, That to me would have been 1377 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 3: the time. 1378 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: I suppose that would have been the best time. But 1379 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't know they've really had an ideal time other 1380 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,800 Speaker 1: than what you talked about with the Philip Rivers thing. 1381 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 1: But then Rivers right immediately after the season was like, yeah, 1382 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm playing again or not, and 1383 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:19,520 Speaker 1: turned out that he didn't play. So I don't know 1384 01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: they've ever really had a chance to do so. 1385 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,200 Speaker 3: That would have been the perfect time, right Rivers, for 1386 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 3: you would have been the best time. Jordan watched US 1387 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 3: for a year, Yeah, Jalen Hurts watches for a year, 1388 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,960 Speaker 3: and then you pass that torch. I know, hindsight's very 1389 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty obviously in it, but I know think there's 1390 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 3: another period where you would have even attempted that. You know, 1391 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 3: they traded future first round pick for Wins, so they 1392 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 3: clearly never thought that with Wins, and then obviously Matt 1393 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 3: Ryan unfortunately it was way past his prime, and then 1394 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,160 Speaker 3: they drafted Anthony Richardson in twenty twenty three. I had 1395 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 3: never heard that that ballad quote James it's easier to 1396 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 3: find one when you've got one. I don't think he's 1397 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 3: ever said that until for he brought it up in 1398 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,600 Speaker 3: reference to Alex Smith and Joe Flacco with Lamar Jackson. Yeah, 1399 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,600 Speaker 3: Ravens did something similar. They're in that next draft twenty eighteen. 1400 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, here we are now hoping that Anthony richards 1401 01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 1: And somehow finds magic as the backup and turns it 1402 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: all around. It becomes a franchise, hoping that because your 1403 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,880 Speaker 1: latest piece is all about that, how does he regain 1404 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,520 Speaker 1: a foothold in this league from the bench. 1405 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's more so just about him. I 1406 01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 2: don't think they're believing that at all. I think that 1407 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 2: they've shown us what they believe Anthony Richson is that 1408 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 2: they don't believe in them, and they can tell us that. 1409 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 2: But I don't necessarily see it happen. I see people 1410 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 2: tell me, oh, you could do something like to Jordan 1411 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,880 Speaker 2: Love deal with Green Bay where they weren't exactly sure 1412 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 2: on him before I believe his fifth year option came 1413 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 2: up and so they signed to an extension that wasn't 1414 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 2: too lucrative before he signed the big contract I believe 1415 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 2: last year. But with Anthony, I don't think he's shown 1416 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 2: you even enough to do that to a degree, Like 1417 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 2: why would you hand him a two year deal? You know, 1418 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,120 Speaker 2: even if it's a disc on it rate for a 1419 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,919 Speaker 2: guy who has had, in my opinion, one great game 1420 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 2: in the NFL, A couple of good moments and hasn't 1421 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 2: played more than four games consecutively. 1422 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 3: And just to kind of go over, I'd see a 1423 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 3: few people asking about, you know, what quarterbacks would have 1424 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 3: been that draft. That draft was the Tua, Joe Burrow, 1425 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert six. Yeah, they all went in the top six. 1426 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 3: The Colts had the thirteenth pick, that's where Jordan Love 1427 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 3: was drafted in the twenties, and then Jayleen they traded that. Yeah, 1428 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 3: so that was the the forced Buckner trade gotcha. So again, 1429 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 3: what the Colts thought there was, I swear. 1430 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 2: To you, I was like, I know this man got 1431 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 2: to the team, but I'm like, where did this pick 1432 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 2: come from? 1433 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 5: There? 1434 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 2: You go, thank you? 1435 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 3: I think the thought there the Colts says, hey, we're 1436 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 3: still close, so we're gonna go ahead and you know, 1437 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 3: try and trade our pick for a quality player, and 1438 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:48,959 Speaker 3: obviously Buckner. 1439 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 2: I mean that delivered. 1440 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, but of course the sad reality is a quality 1441 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 3: defensive tackle has gotten you where in five years? 1442 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll talk more about it is the 1443 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,800 Speaker 1: morning and that we move along and we'll watch the 1444 01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: story play out for itself all along the way. As 1445 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 1: the Colts get started on their twenty twenty five campaign 1446 01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:16,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Mark, let's check it all down. What's excited 1447 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,040 Speaker 1: about the beginning of the season than I was an 1448 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 1: hour and a half ago. Guys, thank you welcome to reality. 1449 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you're always welcome. 1450 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 1: Trying to get everybody pumped up here any Offlis Colts 1451 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 1: do start the twenty twenty five season like everybody else, 1452 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 1: zero and zero with a chance to beat the Miami 1453 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: Dolphins over at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, and I'm 1454 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 1: here for it, James Boyd. 1455 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I'll say you right now, Jeff, whenever I 1456 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 2: got that speech in high school, We're like, they lace 1457 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,360 Speaker 2: their shoes up just like us. We were gonna get smoked. 1458 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 2: So you better you had a gun with some better material. 1459 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 2: Did you know, zero and zero? 1460 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Did you not hear? They might be better than us. 1461 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: They might beat us nine times out of ten, but 1462 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 1: not tonight. Not tonight. 1463 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,120 Speaker 2: We'll see if that holds true for the Colts who 1464 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 2: haven't want to see an opener since twenty thirteen when 1465 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 2: I was a junior in high school and still thinking 1466 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 2: ball is life. 1467 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,560 Speaker 1: They might need a miracle on Sunday. You never know, Kevin, 1468 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 1: what do we expect to see on the injury report today. 1469 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't think you'll see a ton 1470 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 3: unless you know I'm missing something. James, feel free to 1471 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,480 Speaker 3: add some names here, but it seems like they've thought 1472 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 3: that they'll be in pretty good health. I would say 1473 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 3: Tyler Goodson and Jalen Jones are probably two of the 1474 01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 3: bigger names you know right now. Goodson is listed as 1475 01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 3: either him or DJ Giddens is the backup running back. 1476 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 3: He's missed a couple weeks now with an elbow injury 1477 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 3: and the Jalen Jones at hamstring injury going on a 1478 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 3: month plus. He has done some running off to the side, 1479 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 3: but again we'll see where he's at from a full 1480 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 3: practice standpoint. So and Lu's all of a sudden, it 1481 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 3: was a bad weekend of you know, getting away from 1482 01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 3: the team and whatever.

So I 1654 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 1: didn't see too much on there that raised my eyebrows. 1655 01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 2: You No, not really, I think again. I go back 1656 01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:20,760 Speaker 2: to what I said earlier throughout the show Cornerback. I 1657 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 2: was like, hmm, you got Xavin Howard listed as the 1658 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 2: other starter opposite of Javeria's Ward. So that is a 1659 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 2: tall task for somebody who has not played in an 1660 01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:35,520 Speaker 2: NFL game since twenty twenty three. Other than that, pretty straightforward. 1661 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 2: I thought the linebacker spots were expected obviously, Zyre Franklin, 1662 01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 2: a twenty twenty four second team All Pro, is going 1663 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 2: to be starting with Joe Bachi. 1664 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1665 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 3: Can you explain for our audience out there that has 1666 01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 3: no idea they shoved the Lucasol Stadium all of a 1667 01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 3: sudden on Sunday, They look out there, they see a 1668 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,519 Speaker 3: number forty eight in the starting lineup. Could you explain 1669 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 3: for our audience who Joe Bachi is? 1670 01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 2: Well, Joe Bocchi Won seems to be a very liked 1671 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 2: player by Leuenarumo and also some of the guys already 1672 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 2: with the Colts. He has been a big key to 1673 01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 2: them learning the defense, and I think perhaps that's what 1674 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 2: helped him kind of thrive. So for context there, Joe 1675 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 2: Bacci has played under Luen Arumo for the last four seasons, 1676 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,439 Speaker 2: but he's primarily a special teamer with the Bengals. Now 1677 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 2: he is going to be able to step into a 1678 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,639 Speaker 2: more expanded role as a starter, a projected starter at 1679 01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:29,880 Speaker 2: this point. We'll see if it's official comes Sunday, but 1680 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 2: it should be and we'll see how that kind of 1681 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 2: holds up, because I do think that is a big, 1682 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,200 Speaker 2: big part of the equation is you know, I know 1683 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:45,120 Speaker 2: Lewinarumo is not going to rely too much on you know, linebackers, 1684 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 2: or he doesn't want to. He wants to pivot to 1685 01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,719 Speaker 2: more of a you know, dying package, more defensive backs, 1686 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:53,759 Speaker 2: all those things. However, linebackers still matter to a degree, 1687 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:55,599 Speaker 2: and so you're putting a lot on Joe Bachi's plate. 1688 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 2: So for those curious, number forty eight is going to 1689 01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:02,480 Speaker 2: be a big, big factor I think in this defense. 1690 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 3: What about for you, Yeah, it hasn't started since twenty 1691 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 3: twenty one. One thing you pointed out at Bosi, So. 1692 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 2: You think he's only started like two games in his. 1693 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:10,360 Speaker 3: Career, right, So yeah, definitely more of a special teams background, 1694 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,719 Speaker 3: but he's gotten a lot, a lot of starting reps 1695 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,560 Speaker 3: here throughout training camp. Yes, when you bring up you 1696 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,960 Speaker 3: know Xavier Howard at corner James again, former All Pro, 1697 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,960 Speaker 3: did not play in the league last year. Some would 1698 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 3: say due to injuries, some would say due to the 1699 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,040 Speaker 3: lawsuit that he was dealing with some teams as some 1700 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:34,679 Speaker 3: hesitancy there. But he has walked into the building here 1701 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 3: probably what two weeks ago and he's been a starter 1702 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,160 Speaker 3: ever since. So Leui and Roumo kind of pointed out 1703 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 3: both things yesterday. Do you look at the year offend 1704 01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,720 Speaker 3: you say he has fresh legs. Do you look at 1705 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,599 Speaker 3: the year off and say he was rusty? I mean, 1706 01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,640 Speaker 3: that's kind of where we're at with Howard. But this 1707 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 3: Colts cornerback group they will start. It's looking like a 1708 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,680 Speaker 3: twenty nine year old in Traveria's ward, a thirty year 1709 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 3: old in kennymore than second, and a thirty two year 1710 01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:01,639 Speaker 3: old in Xavian Howard and they will face a ton 1711 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,360 Speaker 3: of speed coming at them here on Sunday, assuming Tyreek 1712 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 3: Hill is healthy and ready to go and exsuming at 1713 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,360 Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle is as well. 1714 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, James, how much do you think 1715 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 1: Xavi and Howard getting the start here has to do 1716 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,480 Speaker 1: with his familiarity day in day out with the receivers 1717 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:16,760 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. 1718 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 2: Very little, Honestly. I think all of us know that 1719 01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 2: they're fast and they're good, so I think it has 1720 01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 2: to do more with just some of the need for 1721 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,759 Speaker 2: this team to really add some guys on the outside, 1722 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 2: add some cornerbacks, because there's questions there. And I do 1723 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,639 Speaker 2: want to keep an eye on Jyleen Jones. How healthy 1724 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 2: is he this week and could he still push for 1725 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 2: a starting role If Xavin Howard isn't quite ready yet 1726 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 2: or just doesn't have it anymore, that is a big 1727 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 2: question for me. 1728 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 3: I know we've joked a bit about Jeff and the 1729 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,840 Speaker 3: eighty is it eighty or eighty five catches Forrady. 1730 01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 1: Mitchell eighty, It'll be ninety by the time this season. 1731 01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,759 Speaker 4: For eighty like the all time receptions record. 1732 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 1: By by week four, I will have predicted twelve wins 1733 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: in one hundred and five catches for eighty minutes. 1734 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 3: He is listed as a backup on the first depth chart, 1735 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 3: No surprise there. What do you guys think weekly playing 1736 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 3: time for Ady Mitchell will look like? Obviously you do 1737 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,280 Speaker 3: rotate at wide receiver. 1738 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think in the where the Colts 1739 01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 1: are at this point in time, and with Daniel Jones, 1740 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,800 Speaker 1: he'll start to find rhythm with guys. And I think 1741 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,840 Speaker 1: as these guys the first two three weeks start to 1742 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 1: show that they can be trusted, that they're the guy 1743 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna throw to, which certainly Michael Pittman is one 1744 01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 1: of those guys, and I don't know why Alec Pierce 1745 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't be. I just believe, over the course of you're 1746 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,480 Speaker 1: the eighty Mitchell's talent. If he can knock the knucklehead 1747 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 1: stuff off, it will prevent I really believe that this guy, 1748 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,760 Speaker 1: this is again, this is just me. I believe he's 1749 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver talent waiting to happen. Will 1750 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,719 Speaker 1: it be this year, I don't know, but I'm hopeful. 1751 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 2: So to answer Kevin's question about how much he's gonna play, 1752 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 2: he played thirty five percent of the offensive snaps Last year, 1753 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 2: I put it at maybe forty two. 1754 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,120 Speaker 1: So just slightly better, is what you're thinking. 1755 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when everybody was healthy, he kind of 1756 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,439 Speaker 3: hovered around like fifteen ish snaps a game. And again 1757 01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 3: going into week one, assuming Josh Downs is good to 1758 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 3: go with that hamstring, it looks to be everybody's healthy, 1759 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 3: So is it still fifteen? You know, Michael Pittman Junior 1760 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 3: was managing a back last year of course, So I 1761 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 3: don't know. It's I do think they obviously want Mitchell 1762 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,120 Speaker 3: to play. I just don't know. 1763 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,120 Speaker 2: Picture like, how many four wide receiver sets are they 1764 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 2: going to have? 1765 01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and obviously you know you'd try to be 1766 01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 3: taking you know, Piercer Pittman off the field for some 1767 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 3: of that. Here, by the way, thank you to listener 1768 01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 3: Ryan from Chicago has delivered a lovely breakfast to us 1769 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:46,200 Speaker 3: here good on this Wednesday morning.

Also, he 1806 01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:13,559 Speaker 3: had a great podcast on' ben Nick Matheren and him 1807 01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,120 Speaker 3: and Aeronie Smith those two contract extensions that could be 1808 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 3: happening for them, kind of the pros and cons of both. 1809 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,640 Speaker 3: Tony as always had some great, great insight and our 1810 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:29,320 Speaker 3: fantasy football draft fifteen minutes away, Jeffson, you said you 1811 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 3: were cooking up a prize for our winner here do 1812 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,000 Speaker 3: we should we reveal anything on air? 1813 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: I had to deal with some unfortunately other stuff yesterday, 1814 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 1: but we will have one by the end of the show. 1815 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:41,479 Speaker 1: I'll figure out exactly where to do. 1816 01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 3: But it'll be some that geeze right there. 1817 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 1: There's a couple of things we're looking at, but I 1818 01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,240 Speaker 1: just got to make sure that I can deliver on 1819 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 1: the promise that we make. 1820 01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,559 Speaker 3: So people are saying, I would rather have the twelfth 1821 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 3: pick than where you guys are drafting. 1822 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. 1823 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 2: I don't want to have them those people say when 1824 01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,479 Speaker 2: they don't have. 1825 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 1: The first I personally like the fifth or sixth pick up. 1826 01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:03,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to be in the middle because if 1827 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:05,640 Speaker 4: you're at this, like I'm at third, so I'm not 1828 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 4: picking again until like twenty two, So the talent gap 1829 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,800 Speaker 4: is going to be vast, whereas you get to double 1830 01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 4: up and get twelve and thirteen. 1831 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,080 Speaker 3: So you can be looking at like, you know, are 1832 01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 3: you trying to spend this? 1833 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 4: No, you can get like a Brian Thomas Junior and 1834 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 4: a Drake London. Be like a Blade, a Jonathan Taylor 1835 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 4: and a Puka Nakua. You could be sitting in the 1836 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 4: cat Burns. 1837 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: See he can he can get Brian Robinson Junior. 1838 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't go there. I'd maybe pump the brakes 1839 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,799 Speaker 4: on Brian Robinson Junior real quickly. 1840 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 1: The Fever lost last night to the Phoenix Mercury. They 1841 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 1: play again on Friday night against Chicago. We'll talk to 1842 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 1: Tony East about that coming up in a moment. But 1843 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:45,519 Speaker 1: it's time now for a little bit of a Fever 1844 01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,439 Speaker 1: focus brought to you after every game by Payless Liquors, 1845 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 1: getting more and pay less at payless Liquors. Look, they 1846 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: got it done last night. Kelsey Mitchell had twenty nine 1847 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,200 Speaker 1: points of Leah Boston a near double double with eleven 1848 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,680 Speaker 1: and eight, and Phoenix is just playing better basketball than 1849 01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 1: any is right now. And without Caitlin Clark right now, 1850 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 1: it feels like James, there are a lot of teams 1851 01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 1: that just are just better as a team right now. 1852 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, look at all the injuries that the Fever 1853 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,519 Speaker 1: have had. At some point it starts to mount up 1854 01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: and add up. 1855 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 2: Yes, but at the same time, this is the team 1856 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:18,640 Speaker 2: that you know has. They're two and two in their 1857 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,559 Speaker 2: last four games. I guess you can say two and 1858 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 2: four of their last six, So yeah, they're kind of 1859 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 2: stuttering to the finish line. But they're right there and 1860 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 2: they have, like I said, a gimme game Friday against Chicago. 1861 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 2: Chicago's lost nine to ten. They're your quote unquote rival. 1862 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 2: You can't lose that game, expect to go to the playoffs. 1863 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,160 Speaker 2: But also looking on the other side, who they're kind 1864 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 2: of competing with for that eight spot. The Sparks have 1865 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 2: a much tougher schedule to close out the season in 1866 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 2: my opinion, so that's something to keep in mind. I 1867 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,799 Speaker 2: believe they have a couple of matchups with some playoff 1868 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 2: teams already. They have two games against Atlanta Dream they 1869 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,160 Speaker 2: have another one against the Aces to end the season, 1870 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 2: so they have a tougher road to go. So you 1871 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:58,799 Speaker 2: have to just take care of business at home Friday 1872 01:24:58,840 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 2: and then see where you go from there. 1873 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,280 Speaker 1: And as resilient as they have been, and I give 1874 01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:03,760 Speaker 1: them a lot of credit for that, but if you 1875 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,439 Speaker 1: go back a little bit further too, they're just three 1876 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,800 Speaker 1: and six in their last nine, so they've come up 1877 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 1: with some wins that they've really had to have which 1878 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,520 Speaker 1: have kept them in this playoff race. And the resiliency 1879 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,559 Speaker 1: has been tremendous with all of the losses they have had. 1880 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: And yes, there are other teams around them and by 1881 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,200 Speaker 1: them that have their own challenges. And I do think 1882 01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,680 Speaker 1: the Fever will sneak in and get this done. But 1883 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 1: it is starting to get a little interesting, where maybe 1884 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 1: three weeks ago it wasn't so interesting. 1885 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they get in. They got 1886 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,560 Speaker 2: to handle business, but like I said, the schedule, the 1887 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,760 Speaker 2: way it's kind of laid out, you should be in 1888 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 2: a good position. I also wonder when it comes to 1889 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,760 Speaker 2: that season finale game at home against Minnesota, could the 1890 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 2: links be resting some players at that point depending on 1891 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:44,599 Speaker 2: where they're seated at and if they can move up 1892 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 2: or down. Because we know they're a lock for the playoffs, 1893 01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 2: it's just a matter of will they be the number 1894 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 2: one overall seat. 1895 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:50,559 Speaker 1: You had a chance to get the kids to one 1896 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 1: of those games yet. 1897 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,960 Speaker 3: Viv No, No, we have not gotten a game. Went 1898 01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 3: to a couple last year. But yeah, just busy summer 1899 01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 3: and yeah, wife very pregnant, so you out up all that. 1900 01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 3: Not a lot of opportunities to get to a Fever game. 1901 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 2: The Aces are number two in the standings right now. 1902 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 1: Wow. 1903 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've really turned it around here late in the year. 1904 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,160 Speaker 3: And again the Sparks have the Atlanta Dream now tonight, 1905 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 3: and again I think it's Friday, so I think they've 1906 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 3: got the tougher schedule down the stretch certainly, which should 1907 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 3: bode well. 1908 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 5: For the Fever. 1909 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 3: I did have to laugh. We brought up the Zach 1910 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 3: Keeper piece earlier on why quarterbacks fail drafted high, why 1911 01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 3: they fail in the league. Did you see the Matt 1912 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 3: Ryan quote, James where it took a shot at ball State. 1913 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 2: I did see that. I thought it was funny, But 1914 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:37,879 Speaker 2: I mean, there. 1915 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 3: Goes Matt Ryan's chances to what did he say show 1916 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:42,800 Speaker 3: up to Mount See. I mean, have some meals paid 1917 01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,520 Speaker 3: for you. Here's a reference to the NFL the difficulty 1918 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,599 Speaker 3: of the grind of a sixteen seventeen game schedule, And 1919 01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 3: of course, tongue in cheek, he goes, plus, there are 1920 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,120 Speaker 3: no ball states on your schedule till that's a bury 1921 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 3: otom we have. 1922 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,639 Speaker 2: Matt Ryan, he. 1923 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,760 Speaker 1: Almost hope that one of his friends played at Ball State, 1924 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,519 Speaker 1: and he's like taking a little shot at his friend there. 1925 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,000 Speaker 3: I did think there was an excellent analogy that Matt 1926 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 3: Hasselbeck used in that piece where he referenced the difference 1927 01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 3: between scouts and coaches falling in love with quarterbacks, and 1928 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:19,679 Speaker 3: the analogy was builders and realtters. They're in the same business, 1929 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 3: but they don't always get along. They don't always see 1930 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 3: eye to eye. And in the scouting business, you probably 1931 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 3: fall in love with the traits more than in the 1932 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,599 Speaker 3: coaching business, you probably fall in love with real actual 1933 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,320 Speaker 3: production on the field. Yeah, and I don't think it's 1934 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 3: apples to apples to Anthony Rigson though, because anything Shane 1935 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 3: Sdykeen was a huge believer in Richardson. But I think 1936 01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,840 Speaker 3: generally that analogy checks out when it comes to draft. 1937 01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. 1938 01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:55,599 Speaker 3: Nothing more to add. 1939 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 2: So I thought it was a great. 1940 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 3: No. 1941 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:06,519 Speaker 2: No, I was waiting, I thought, but. 1942 01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:09,840 Speaker 1: I kind of thought it spoke for it tough, don't you. 1943 01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 2: So to get back to your question, Kevin, because I 1944 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 2: don't want to leave your hanging brother. I did find 1945 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 2: it interesting that within that same analogy, he was talking 1946 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 2: about how when you're evaluating some of the drills throughout 1947 01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 2: those you know, like glorified I don't know, pro days 1948 01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 2: is basically what the combine is. He's like, on one side, 1949 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 2: you're you get the crowd, which is kind of like me, 1950 01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 2: and in the scouts, I think are more of that 1951 01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 2: ilk where it's like I've seen it no more than me. 1952 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 2: But when you see Anthony Richardson and Will Levis or 1953 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,799 Speaker 2: somebody throw it deep finally at Lucas Oil Stadium, throughout 1954 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,639 Speaker 2: the combine, you get all the o's and os, whereas 1955 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,000 Speaker 2: some coaches probably going, Okay, you're never gonna throw it 1956 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 2: that deep in a real game, and you held the 1957 01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,320 Speaker 2: ball forever, you know, is that the right read? And 1958 01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,120 Speaker 2: they're probably more concerned with some of the things when 1959 01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 2: it comes to accuracy. I mean even like routes like, 1960 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 2: for example, like deep posts, skinny posts, things like that. 1961 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 2: I think those are the routes where coaches are probably like, 1962 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 2: oh yeah, he can throw it, but you know, is 1963 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 2: the timing right, is that window right? Is the accuracy right? 1964 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 2: And honestly it comes down to would you rather have 1965 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:22,120 Speaker 2: you know, the accuracy over the arm strength? You know 1966 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,120 Speaker 2: what's functional? I always think about that too, like what 1967 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:26,680 Speaker 2: is the functional football strength? We have these drills, I 1968 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 2: think they are more more like TV drills, Like every 1969 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 2: year we'll see the quarterbacks go up there and throw 1970 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,479 Speaker 2: the football, and it's like who can throw at the hardest, 1971 01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:36,200 Speaker 2: who can throw out the fastest? Who cares because in 1972 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,120 Speaker 2: a real game, you're never gonna throw it, you know, 1973 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 2: sixty miles an hour to your running back come out 1974 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,120 Speaker 2: of the backfield. So these are all things that I'm 1975 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:42,719 Speaker 2: curious about. 1976 01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:46,640 Speaker 4: It was the sound of Kevin's analogy, gosh, death yours. 1977 01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,479 Speaker 3: Just trying to help Matt Housebeck out there, and all 1978 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:50,719 Speaker 3: of a sudden, I know it's met with crickets. 1979 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:52,519 Speaker 4: It was like a farted you know. 1980 01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:56,280 Speaker 1: I was waiting for it, kind of considering the whole thing, 1981 01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:57,759 Speaker 1: but I didn't have time. 1982 01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 3: Again, I don't think this supplies to Anthony Richardson, though 1983 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,920 Speaker 3: I don't think this was a Scouts believe. Sure were 1984 01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 3: the Scouts obviously Morocco Brown boots on the ground there 1985 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,400 Speaker 3: and never with it. But I think Shane Stiken was 1986 01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 3: a definite believer and maybe he believed too much in 1987 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,479 Speaker 3: the traits, believe too much in the Hey, I'm going 1988 01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:21,320 Speaker 3: to coach him up to tap into some of that, 1989 01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,360 Speaker 3: because I mean, it is odd they've largely changed their 1990 01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,920 Speaker 3: tune here in two years. We don't need the home 1991 01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,200 Speaker 3: run hitter. We don't need the self creator, we don't 1992 01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 3: need the big play guy. We need methodical. Oh we 1993 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:35,680 Speaker 3: need boring, we need Bruce arians quote, And they're like, 1994 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,720 Speaker 3: I'm a quarterback that runs the offense. 1995 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 1: And honestly, they're more afraid of what he might do 1996 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,679 Speaker 1: than they are confident in what he could do. Sure, 1997 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,160 Speaker 1: at this point in time is what it is they're 1998 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:45,680 Speaker 1: afraid of it. 1999 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,760 Speaker 2: I thought that quote was money from Bruce because I 2000 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 2: could totally see Shane experience in that same thing, where 2001 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,719 Speaker 2: he's like, yes, you can do all these freakish things, 2002 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 2: but can you do the simple things to keep us 2003 01:30:58,520 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 2: on track? 2004 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:04,559 Speaker 3: Asked the question X, execute the x's and o's execute 2005 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:06,760 Speaker 3: what I draw up on the whiteboard. That's what the 2006 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 3: culture hoping for here with Daniel Jones. Not gonna be 2007 01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:10,720 Speaker 3: much of a self creator, not gonna do a lot 2008 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 3: of Hoodini like things, but can he take the game 2009 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 3: plan and make it work? 2010 01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:17,640 Speaker 1: Coming up at a moment, we'll check in on the 2011 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,880 Speaker 1: fever and the latest on Tyrese Halibert and Tony E. 2012 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,160 Speaker 1: Stop spies.

The first 2025 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 3: dude took a full minute on the clock, and now 2026 01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 3: Jeff's not even logged into auto draft. 2027 01:31:53,560 --> 01:32:00,760 Speaker 1: Apparently my password is not what I thought it was.

What you can't screw up. 2029 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,320 Speaker 3: With an auto draft that this drafting, Matt Gay, Yeah right, Mark, 2030 01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:07,960 Speaker 3: this is going to take us three hours.

I'm changing it as we speak. 2034 01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 2: Oh gosh. 2035 01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 5: Uh. 2036 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:18,920 Speaker 1: In the meantime, why don't you bring in Tony East 2037 01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:21,519 Speaker 1: and we can talk about some real things. 2038 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:25,080 Speaker 3: Because I don't draft till the end.

How's life, man, It's great. 2042 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,000 Speaker 8: I woke up and I've been all in on this 2043 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:41,280 Speaker 8: Kawhi Leonard Pablo Torre thing this morning, which. 2044 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:45,840 Speaker 3: Is yeah, I saw this come across the wire, but 2045 01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:47,600 Speaker 3: I haven't been able to read too much on it. 2046 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 3: Could you kind of fill us in on it? Thanks 2047 01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:50,840 Speaker 3: for you know, sharing this news. 2048 01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 8: So I need to actually listen to the podcast, but 2049 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,920 Speaker 8: just from reading tweets and watching people react to what 2050 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 8: the CBA rules are, apparently a company was created Bough 2051 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,640 Speaker 8: and then Steve Bomer invested a bunch of money in it, 2052 01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 8: and then that company signed Kawhi Leonard to a contract 2053 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,679 Speaker 8: that pays him twenty eight million dollars if he's playing 2054 01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 8: for the Clippers. That's on top of his NBA contract. 2055 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:17,679 Speaker 8: Very obviously salary caps are convention Uh, completely crazy. 2056 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,760 Speaker 3: That sounds highly illegal. But it sounds like something that 2057 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 3: was done like in. 2058 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:22,759 Speaker 5: Those It sounds like college. 2059 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 3: Nil, it sounds like yeah, like how like people played 2060 01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:28,519 Speaker 3: for like the SEC schools like ten years ago. 2061 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:31,440 Speaker 6: It's crazy. 2062 01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 8: Uh, and it's going to be a thing for the 2063 01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,479 Speaker 8: NBA because you can't do that. 2064 01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 3: So gosh, that's wild. 2065 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:41,240 Speaker 2: Well, you know, boardman gets paid, so sounds a Kawhi 2066 01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 2: Leonard baby get everything else coming. 2067 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,280 Speaker 8: Yet, of all the players getting paid under the table, 2068 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:47,960 Speaker 8: the guy who had all these questions. 2069 01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 6: About like is he actually heard or not, is the 2070 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,200 Speaker 6: funniest one. Objectively, Yes, yes, I agree. 2071 01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,400 Speaker 2: This is just the tip of the iceberg, as they say, Tony, 2072 01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,840 Speaker 2: oh yes, pivoting a bit to the fever we saw 2073 01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,720 Speaker 2: last night weren't quite able to stage that fourth quarter 2074 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 2: comeback against the Phoenix Mercury. So now, with three games 2075 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:09,280 Speaker 2: left in the season, Tony, how dicey is it for them? 2076 01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,960 Speaker 2: I know you've been doing on your Twitter. I've enjoyed 2077 01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:13,880 Speaker 2: saying like, Okay, it could be from this range to 2078 01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:15,880 Speaker 2: this range. They can't fall below this, they can't get 2079 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,639 Speaker 2: above this as far as the standings go. But how 2080 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 2: big is Friday Night in just the overall field and 2081 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 2: state of this team. 2082 01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, they've had a great couple of days with the 2083 01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:29,520 Speaker 8: Sparks beating the Storm, and the Valkyries look really great recently, 2084 01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,960 Speaker 8: but their odds are still probably pretty high just because 2085 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,639 Speaker 8: of two things. One is that Golden State and Seattle 2086 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,679 Speaker 8: still play each other once. It's actually the Storm's last 2087 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:42,080 Speaker 8: game of the season, I believe, so one. 2088 01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 6: Of those teams has to lose that game, right, and 2089 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:44,759 Speaker 6: that by. 2090 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 8: Default helps the Fever in their quest to catch or 2091 01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:50,680 Speaker 8: stay ahead of somebody else. And then the other thing 2092 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,280 Speaker 8: that helps them is the Sparks have five games left, 2093 01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 8: which is still a lot, but they all but one 2094 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,040 Speaker 8: of them are really hard teams. They still play the 2095 01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,559 Speaker 8: Aces of the Mercury, and they start a two games 2096 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:04,280 Speaker 8: set in Atlanta against a Dream today tonight, I believe, 2097 01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,120 Speaker 8: And so because their schedule is hard and they have 2098 01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,240 Speaker 8: to straight up leap frog the Fever, but they have 2099 01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,600 Speaker 8: two wins fewer than The odds for the Fever are 2100 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:15,040 Speaker 8: still pretty high, mostly because of that Sparks part, but 2101 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:17,320 Speaker 8: they did not have a good weekend in terms of 2102 01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:20,439 Speaker 8: their odds with those losses, with LA coming out of 2103 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:23,960 Speaker 8: some tight, close games, and the Fever really need to 2104 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,200 Speaker 8: I mean, they're gonna be favored in their next two games, 2105 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 8: like they really need to get both of them, particularly 2106 01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,080 Speaker 8: one of them, because you know, it is at least 2107 01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 8: plausible for them to miss it in a way that 2108 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,479 Speaker 8: I wasn't sure was the case after they beat the Sparks. 2109 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 8: But I still think their odds are pretty high given 2110 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 8: all the factors outside of their own team. 2111 01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,559 Speaker 1: Tony, how well could this team do without Caitlin Clark 2112 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 1: in the postseason? 2113 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I thought about that a lot recently 2114 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 8: because they have some great wins even without her this season, 2115 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 8: they won the Commission's Cup title game without her. I 2116 01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:56,640 Speaker 8: guess the Links the best team in the league, and 2117 01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,719 Speaker 8: they have some other like high quality wins against good teams, 2118 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 8: And it's so easy for me to say, well, I 2119 01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:04,439 Speaker 8: still have Kelsey Mitchell, they still leave Boston, Like that's 2120 01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:07,760 Speaker 8: two all star level talents that are are good, and 2121 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,280 Speaker 8: they have other good players It's just. 2122 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:10,559 Speaker 6: That was earlier in the. 2123 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 8: Season when they were way less banged up and had 2124 01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:14,479 Speaker 8: players that they intended to have on their team this 2125 01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,280 Speaker 8: year is still healthy and playing, and since then they 2126 01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 8: lost Darry McDonald and Sidy Coulson and Zovie Cunningham and 2127 01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:21,000 Speaker 8: they've been playing players. 2128 01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,360 Speaker 6: Who are on the team for one, two, three weeks. 2129 01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 8: So I still think their like highest level without Caitlin 2130 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 8: is moderately high, like in the you know, fourth through 2131 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 8: sixth best team range. But can they string that together 2132 01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:37,360 Speaker 8: with any sort of consistency. No, you have not seen 2133 01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,839 Speaker 8: them do that. I mean, they have some rough losses 2134 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 8: recently too, against teams that you'd think they should eat 2135 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,599 Speaker 8: or be able to stay ahead of, including the Wings 2136 01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:46,439 Speaker 8: and the Mystics at home, so. 2137 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:48,080 Speaker 6: It's hard to like. 2138 01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 8: Actually, if they've showed any sort of consistency for multiple games, 2139 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 8: I would say that it's possible for them to reach 2140 01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:55,920 Speaker 8: a level that without. 2141 01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 6: Clark could get them through a round. 2142 01:36:57,680 --> 01:36:59,479 Speaker 8: But you know, they need to find they have three 2143 01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,320 Speaker 8: games up to find some of those answers, because on 2144 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,320 Speaker 8: paper they should be at least decent, but they've shown 2145 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:08,439 Speaker 8: really high flashes without her, and just some totally low 2146 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:10,719 Speaker 8: like they did on Sunday in Golden State Valley. 2147 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,280 Speaker 6: So they just look like they can't score Tony. 2148 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,519 Speaker 3: Tomorrow strikes me as a huge day for Kaylyn Clark, 2149 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:19,320 Speaker 3: Like obviously they traveled back late either late last night today, 2150 01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:21,480 Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what their travel schedule is tomorrow. 2151 01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,080 Speaker 3: Back on the practice floor before game on Friday, I 2152 01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 3: would think any chance for her to play maybe again 2153 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:31,000 Speaker 3: this season. She's got to practice tomorrow, right, I mean, 2154 01:37:31,200 --> 01:37:33,000 Speaker 3: where are you kind of at with her availability the 2155 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:33,519 Speaker 3: rest of the year. 2156 01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, they practice Saturday too in Indy like they had. 2157 01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:43,519 Speaker 8: Stephanie White actually tries to find times for practices throughout 2158 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:45,599 Speaker 8: the season in a way that a lot of coaches 2159 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 8: I've covered in. 2160 01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:48,919 Speaker 6: The NBA and you kind of don't. You know, maybe they're. 2161 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 8: Not as hard, but I think that gives more chances 2162 01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,760 Speaker 8: for it to happen. But I agree, it's getting late, 2163 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 8: and like, you know, this felt like an advantage to 2164 01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 8: me when it happened, but now, given the Kayalen Clark situation. 2165 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 6: Maybe not. 2166 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,400 Speaker 8: You know, their last game is next Tuesday. But the 2167 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 8: w only has thirteen teams, excuse me, has thirteen teams 2168 01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 8: this season and that's an odd number. So the not 2169 01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:12,160 Speaker 8: every team plays the same last day, which is very 2170 01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:15,919 Speaker 8: atypical in sports. So some team's final game is next Thursday, 2171 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:19,000 Speaker 8: some is next Wednesday. The fever's next Tuesday, so they 2172 01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,680 Speaker 8: don't have as much time. Also like to throw in 2173 01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,360 Speaker 8: other practices to get her going, And on one hand, 2174 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,000 Speaker 8: that's a negative if you want her to return for 2175 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:27,960 Speaker 8: the regular season. On the other hand, look, this is 2176 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,559 Speaker 8: unusual but not unheard of in sports, Like they will 2177 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,479 Speaker 8: have more time between their last game and the start 2178 01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,160 Speaker 8: of the postseason if they make it to get her on. 2179 01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:36,960 Speaker 6: The practice floor. 2180 01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,479 Speaker 8: So I would say this, I agree with you that 2181 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,080 Speaker 8: if she's gonna play in the regular season tomorrow, specifically 2182 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 8: in this week, is extremely significant. 2183 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:46,280 Speaker 6: But if she's gonna. 2184 01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 8: Return for the postseason and do the we've seen this 2185 01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:50,679 Speaker 8: for four kind of thing, but it's rare, like Kyle 2186 01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:55,400 Speaker 8: schwarbur and the World Series level stuff, like, it's plausible. 2187 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:56,679 Speaker 6: That that big gap could be meaningful. 2188 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:59,120 Speaker 8: It's something that I thought about recently, but I know 2189 01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,559 Speaker 8: they keep saying so hope she returns. I don't know 2190 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,559 Speaker 8: why they would be consistently putting her up into more 2191 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,000 Speaker 8: situations that we can see five on zero, the most 2192 01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,920 Speaker 8: recent one, if they weren't hoping at least that she plays, 2193 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,679 Speaker 8: but that is of course just speculation and reading into 2194 01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:13,920 Speaker 8: what they've chosen to do so far. 2195 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:18,320 Speaker 2: Last one on Caitlin Tony going back to when the 2196 01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,800 Speaker 2: injury first happened to where we are now, do you 2197 01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:25,439 Speaker 2: understand why they've strung it along like this? I mean 2198 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:27,600 Speaker 2: they basically said she's week to week or day to 2199 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,519 Speaker 2: day ever since it happened. And has that made sense 2200 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:32,880 Speaker 2: to you? Because from the outside look at it and 2201 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:34,680 Speaker 2: it's like, well, why come you just didn't say she 2202 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 2: was gonna miss I don't know a month at least. 2203 01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,920 Speaker 2: I guess that's the question that is frustrating for some 2204 01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 2: of the fan base. 2205 01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 8: Oh, it's frustrated everybody. It should be right out and 2206 01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:48,280 Speaker 8: definitely sucks because you know, it sounds like there's no timeline, 2207 01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:51,519 Speaker 8: but like everybody has a timeline, right, Like everybody's trying 2208 01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:54,880 Speaker 8: to return or hit a benchmark at some date, and 2209 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:56,440 Speaker 8: so it's really challenging. 2210 01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:57,280 Speaker 6: When that's kind of how it is. 2211 01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:00,479 Speaker 8: I kind of, you know, interpreted that as like a, well, 2212 01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:03,559 Speaker 8: we don't know for sure, but we'll see. We think 2213 01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:06,639 Speaker 8: it's about this time. But you know, it's tough when 2214 01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:10,200 Speaker 8: that is the reality that's provided, and so it does 2215 01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:11,720 Speaker 8: kind of feel like we're all just along for the 2216 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,960 Speaker 8: ride and seeing what it happens, because that's still the line, 2217 01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,160 Speaker 8: right And so until she does contact, I don't know 2218 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 8: if we'll know any more specifics about an actual Returntimeliner 2219 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 8: specific game. And that's been how it's been since mid July, 2220 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:27,560 Speaker 8: which is, you know, not not unheard of, but a 2221 01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:28,480 Speaker 8: little strange. 2222 01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,599 Speaker 1: Thanks for stopping by. As always, it's always basketball season. 2223 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,920 Speaker 3: Go ahead at him, Tony East. We're here trying to 2224 01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:40,760 Speaker 3: multitask with the fantasy football draft, so apologies. 2225 01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:42,360 Speaker 5: Uh, we figure out our passwords. 2226 01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 6: Say it again, we found out passwords. Are we in? 2227 01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 6: Are we going? 2228 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:47,400 Speaker 1: I think Jeff is in. 2229 01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:48,360 Speaker 3: I think he's in. 2230 01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 1: I believe, So yeah, I got him just in the 2231 01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:50,880 Speaker 1: nick of time. 2232 01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:56,040 Speaker 3: So we're good. Benedic matherin Contract Ascension. Listen to your 2233 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,519 Speaker 3: podcast and the way in this morning locked on Pacers. 2234 01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 3: It was an excellent listen. I get the vibe that 2235 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:05,840 Speaker 3: like neither party probably wants to do an extension, and 2236 01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,840 Speaker 3: like I shouldn't say, I get the vibe like I've 2237 01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,479 Speaker 3: been talking to like both parties, I can see reasons 2238 01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:14,200 Speaker 3: why both sides of it would be hesitant. Is that 2239 01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:15,920 Speaker 3: kind of where you are? And I don't feel like 2240 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:19,760 Speaker 3: that's exactly where a lot of these extension debates get to. 2241 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:23,679 Speaker 8: Yes, I totally agree, And it's not even that both 2242 01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:25,400 Speaker 8: sides would be hesitant because they're not. 2243 01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:26,880 Speaker 6: Certain they'll be together forever. 2244 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 8: Like maybe they do want to be together forever, and 2245 01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:32,400 Speaker 8: they want to be you know, he wants to be 2246 01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 8: the starter for the Pacers, the pace one Matheron to 2247 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,080 Speaker 8: grow with them, Like that's totally reasonable, but like it's 2248 01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,560 Speaker 8: very rare that a player gets the kind of opportunity 2249 01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:42,520 Speaker 8: in their fourth season that Matherin's about. 2250 01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:45,320 Speaker 6: To have, where they're about to have a way bigger. 2251 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:47,599 Speaker 8: Role to prove themselves in a way that they haven't 2252 01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:50,320 Speaker 8: really had in their career. I guess you could count 2253 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,760 Speaker 8: the start of Matherns second season, but then Buddy Hial 2254 01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:55,160 Speaker 8: took his starting spot in like four weeks or something, 2255 01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 8: so he has a chance to do all the stuff 2256 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 8: that he's done at his best and that he says 2257 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,760 Speaker 8: he can do, which is, you know, guard some of 2258 01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:05,640 Speaker 8: the best players, Like there's no way they're going to 2259 01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:07,519 Speaker 8: put them hard on the best guy every night and 2260 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 8: have him be you know, a heavy load lead ball handler, 2261 01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,640 Speaker 8: and Mathern's gonna have the ballmore. His usage rate was 2262 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,880 Speaker 8: like five percent higher without Halburn last year. That's a 2263 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,360 Speaker 8: rare opportunity to look awesome and like do all the 2264 01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:20,679 Speaker 8: stuff you said you could do and really prove what 2265 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,479 Speaker 8: you can do to your team and potentially other teams 2266 01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:25,280 Speaker 8: because if he'll be a FRA agent next year. So 2267 01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 8: if you're Ben Matherin, you know, if you're getting get 2268 01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:30,160 Speaker 8: extension offers from the Pacers based on what you've done 2269 01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:32,240 Speaker 8: so far and on what the Pacers think he'll do, 2270 01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 8: you know, in the future, given the role that he's 2271 01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,280 Speaker 8: had with a team, that's probably not it's not the 2272 01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,400 Speaker 8: PACER's fault for paying him like that, Like that's the 2273 01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:41,320 Speaker 8: information they have. But if you're him, you're thinking, man, 2274 01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,519 Speaker 8: I could get way more, right, And if you're the Pacers, 2275 01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,439 Speaker 8: you're like, well, that's fine, right, if you play great, 2276 01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 8: we'll pay you like that. If not, you know, we 2277 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:49,760 Speaker 8: we've seen this, we know what you are, We've you know. 2278 01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 8: Rick Carlisle talked on this show about the difference between 2279 01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:54,559 Speaker 8: the rat game Ben Mather and and what you know, 2280 01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:56,479 Speaker 8: pacers Ben Mather could be and I think one of 2281 01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:58,679 Speaker 8: the funniest things ever, by the way, with him saying 2282 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,160 Speaker 8: no disrespect to Rat that's when you asked him about that. 2283 01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:04,920 Speaker 6: I still laugh about that. But anyway, you know, those 2284 01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:05,240 Speaker 6: kind of. 2285 01:43:05,240 --> 01:43:07,760 Speaker 8: Differences are why he has this huge opportunity in front 2286 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,760 Speaker 8: of him and why it's like, even if they both 2287 01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:13,480 Speaker 8: really wanted to stay locked in his team player partnership 2288 01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,519 Speaker 8: going forward, it makes sense to wait and get as 2289 01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:16,759 Speaker 8: much information as possible. 2290 01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 6: So it's not a bad thing. I think it's just 2291 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:18,960 Speaker 6: kind of how it is. 2292 01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,679 Speaker 3: Literally one of my favorite audio clips of all time 2293 01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:24,120 Speaker 3: right there. 2294 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:29,559 Speaker 5: I could not. 2295 01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 8: Believe that was the first three you said he had 2296 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 8: that ready to go. 2297 01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:34,640 Speaker 3: He said in such a serious manner, like all of 2298 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,160 Speaker 3: a sudden, these rats were waiting outside to have a 2299 01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 3: word with him when he finished this morning coffee. All right, 2300 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,320 Speaker 3: last one, you know nothing about the NFL outside of 2301 01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:43,240 Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings. 2302 01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:43,599 Speaker 5: Oh boy. 2303 01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:47,160 Speaker 3: More wins for your Minnesota Vikings.

People are buzzing. 2326 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 1: Man, there you go. Where's the best place to go 2327 01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:46,840 Speaker 1: find uh?

Josh Downs 2338 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:15,120 Speaker 3: goes three picks later than that. 2339 01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,519 Speaker 4: It's funny, Io, you can tell there's Colts fans in 2340 01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:18,920 Speaker 4: this draft. I'm just telling you. 2341 01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:20,760 Speaker 3: Well, I'm about ready to pick here into round five, 2342 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,280 Speaker 3: start a round six, and I was probably gonna take Warren. 2343 01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,160 Speaker 3: Am I dumb on this? James Boyd? I think Tyler 2344 01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 3: Warren is going to catch a lot of footballs, and 2345 01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,240 Speaker 3: I think he's going to be involved in some very 2346 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 3: creative ways. 2347 01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:32,559 Speaker 2: From where you're picking him. No, I think that would 2348 01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:34,920 Speaker 2: be a solid pick up, mainly because I think you 2349 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 2: asked me this maybe a week ago when Dale Jones 2350 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 2: was announced as the starter. Officially, I believe Tyler Warren 2351 01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:43,240 Speaker 2: stock rose more than any other pass catcher on the 2352 01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,880 Speaker 2: team because the layup throws, the simple throws, the dinks 2353 01:45:46,880 --> 01:45:48,400 Speaker 2: and dunks are going to be to him. 2354 01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,160 Speaker 3: I would think, shout out to Decatur Central. I just 2355 01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 3: picked Tyrone Tracy. Didn't our guy from the Giants last 2356 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:56,040 Speaker 3: week say he was their top back? 2357 01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:58,960 Speaker 1: H Yeah, he had some some nice moments last year. 2358 01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:00,680 Speaker 3: Catch some balls out of the backfield as well. So 2359 01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,320 Speaker 3: draft is good. Jeff Has, did you have to change 2360 01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,240 Speaker 3: the password or did you recall it? 2361 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:07,599 Speaker 1: No, I just had to log in with a They 2362 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,160 Speaker 1: sent me like a secondary verification thing and I just 2363 01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,639 Speaker 1: logged in that way. I would have taken Beejeon second anyway, 2364 01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:14,280 Speaker 1: So it's all good. 2365 01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:14,880 Speaker 3: Look at that. 2366 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't that worried because of the second pick. You're 2367 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:20,680 Speaker 1: gonna get A You're gonna get one of the top 2368 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,680 Speaker 1: three players consensus wise, unless you're one wanting to do 2369 01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:26,799 Speaker 1: something way out you know, off the books. 2370 01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:29,599 Speaker 4: Ad Mitchell still on the board is up for grabs. 2371 01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:31,120 Speaker 1: Be there at the end too. 2372 01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:34,240 Speaker 3: You think Alex Pierce negatively hurt anybody could have any 2373 01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:38,320 Speaker 3: you know anybody? Huh? Absolutely, Alec Pierce negatively hurt by 2374 01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones standpoint absolutely. 2375 01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,519 Speaker 1: I think the two guys that benefit most is exactly 2376 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:45,280 Speaker 1: what you were talking about, Tyler Warren and also Michael 2377 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:46,800 Speaker 1: Pittman Junior. I think benefits too. 2378 01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but from a real life standpoint, I think Alec 2379 01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 2: Pierce certainly took a hit with Daniel Jones stepping in, 2380 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,719 Speaker 2: and not to say he still can't have a good season, 2381 01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:57,559 Speaker 2: but just the amount of opportunities to go deep. I 2382 01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,400 Speaker 2: don't think we necessarily will be there as it was 2383 01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:01,160 Speaker 2: with Joe flat Going, and they are just in I 2384 01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:06,360 Speaker 2: believe last year Daniel Jones average a full yard less 2385 01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:08,880 Speaker 2: of intended air yards And for those who think I'm 2386 01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,840 Speaker 2: speaking gibberish, intended air yards means basically, how far do 2387 01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,120 Speaker 2: you can throw the ball on average for your passes. 2388 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:16,920 Speaker 2: They don't throw it. He doesn't throw the ball on 2389 01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:19,479 Speaker 2: the field as much as the previous quarterbacks did. Daniel Jones. 2390 01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:22,320 Speaker 1: That is, it's kind of what he does and we'll 2391 01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:24,799 Speaker 1: see if it's effective and see if we get Shane Stiking. 2392 01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:26,280 Speaker 1: Just do what I ask you to do. 2393 01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 3: Can I throw a random golf tennis thought at you, guys. 2394 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,160 Speaker 3: I know it's probably not riveting at all, But I 2395 01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:35,799 Speaker 3: saw this last night Kyle Porter, you store for CBS Sports, 2396 01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:38,960 Speaker 3: Big Golf Rider. He said this, and Jeff, I'm probably 2397 01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:40,760 Speaker 3: talking to you more. He goes, I'm sure there are 2398 01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:42,960 Speaker 3: a thousand answers to this, But why has the US 2399 01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:48,160 Speaker 3: consistently filled up the top ten in the golf World rankings? 2400 01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:52,519 Speaker 3: AKA other great US players? But not done so in 2401 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:53,800 Speaker 3: the same way in the tennis side. 2402 01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 1: The thing that's interesting about tennis and tennis players is 2403 01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,679 Speaker 1: a lot first of all, in Europe. It's a hugely 2404 01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:04,639 Speaker 1: popular sport, hugely popular over there. But the other thing 2405 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:06,280 Speaker 1: is a lot of the great players from Europe come 2406 01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:07,960 Speaker 1: over here to some of the tennis academies when they're 2407 01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:10,360 Speaker 1: very young. Their parents bring them over here, and even 2408 01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:12,720 Speaker 1: though they are technically European, a lot of them come 2409 01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,280 Speaker 1: from the tennis academies and so there is still US 2410 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:18,120 Speaker 1: influence on them. But the sport is far more popular 2411 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,920 Speaker 1: amongst a lot of these European countries, and a lot 2412 01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,720 Speaker 1: of the top guys come over here in the United 2413 01:48:24,760 --> 01:48:25,719 Speaker 1: States to start working. 2414 01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:29,559 Speaker 3: So why did our Americans go to these academies? And look, 2415 01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:32,519 Speaker 3: I can't answer that question, but so is the answer 2416 01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:36,960 Speaker 3: just simply Tiger Woods. I think Tiger Woods raised every boat. Yeah, 2417 01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:39,559 Speaker 3: I mean there's a whole generation of American kids that 2418 01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:42,040 Speaker 3: went I want to be like that guy. Tiger Woods 2419 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,920 Speaker 3: was not. There was a different stratosphere than Andy Rottick 2420 01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:47,160 Speaker 3: or whoever you want to label is No, because he 2421 01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:49,600 Speaker 3: also Agasi and Sampris, I guess would have been a 2422 01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:51,120 Speaker 3: little bit of a before. 2423 01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:54,599 Speaker 1: Rodick, because Tiger also kind of matriculated to that Michael 2424 01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:59,080 Speaker 1: Jordan sphere where Nike has him on every billboard. Every 2425 01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:02,080 Speaker 1: company wants him to be the face, and he provided 2426 01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:06,240 Speaker 1: so many dramatic Sunday moments where he people forget in 2427 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,479 Speaker 1: you know, late nineties up until about two thousand and nine, 2428 01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:13,080 Speaker 1: there was a decade there. Sunday afternoon golf, if Tiger 2429 01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 1: was within three or four shots of the lead, which 2430 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,960 Speaker 1: he almost always was, was must see TV for any 2431 01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:19,559 Speaker 1: sports fan. 2432 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:22,760 Speaker 3: Marco's sue in Morning Checkdown, I believe you guys are 2433 01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:26,120 Speaker 3: on the board here upcoming, so let's multitask. I will 2434 01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,040 Speaker 3: lead off the morning checkdown then and let you two 2435 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:35,240 Speaker 3: draft you go. We're all teammates here, right. You guys 2436 01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,000 Speaker 3: might have dropped ball on my Matt Houselbeck comment twenty 2437 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,559 Speaker 3: minutes ago, but I'm not going to do the same 2438 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:40,160 Speaker 3: to you here. 2439 01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,599 Speaker 4: I like your team so far, Kevin, I'll never lay it. 2440 01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:43,559 Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it out there. 2441 01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 3: The Fever losing to the Mercury last night eighty five 2442 01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,360 Speaker 3: seventy nine, James Boyd, I was largely in rem sleep. 2443 01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:52,080 Speaker 3: What did you make of Dwana Bonner and Caitlin Clark's 2444 01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,479 Speaker 3: little verbal back and forth. 2445 01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:56,759 Speaker 2: I loved it, and I'm always going to be team 2446 01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:00,639 Speaker 2: player who is playing will always win the argument against 2447 01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:02,920 Speaker 2: the player who isn't playing. So I know Kitlin was 2448 01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:04,439 Speaker 2: probably talking our stuff. At the end of the day, 2449 01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:06,400 Speaker 2: you ain't playing. Look at the scoreboard. 2450 01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,360 Speaker 3: Well and Delana Bonn are talking on the floor too. 2451 01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:11,040 Speaker 3: In our own individual playoff the bench last night she 2452 01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:11,759 Speaker 3: had sixteen. 2453 01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:13,880 Speaker 2: That's finding me Kitlyn to come back. If people didn't 2454 01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:14,880 Speaker 2: forgot how good she is. 2455 01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 3: I know, I know. And again I think it's such 2456 01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:20,439 Speaker 3: a critical juncture tomorrow that practice for them. And again, 2457 01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:23,280 Speaker 3: as James pointed out the Chicago Sky the Fever absolutely 2458 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,559 Speaker 3: owned them. That is the game Friday. I think it's 2459 01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:28,080 Speaker 3: mystics on Sunday, and then they'll close it out with 2460 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:32,680 Speaker 3: Minnesota coming up on Tuesday. The baton passed back to 2461 01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:33,320 Speaker 3: Jeff Record. 2462 01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit about the National 2463 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 1: Football League. It starts tomorrow night Dallas Cowboys play at 2464 01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,200 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a Thursday night game. Then we 2465 01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,280 Speaker 1: got a Friday night game with the Kansas City Chiefs 2466 01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:48,439 Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles Chargers, James Boyd, the Colts back 2467 01:50:48,560 --> 01:50:51,479 Speaker 1: today and you'll be out there along with Kevin. Injury 2468 01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:53,880 Speaker 1: report's going to be coming out. Any big surprises you 2469 01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 1: expect for people to keep an eye on. 2470 01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:59,040 Speaker 2: No, because if it was a surprise, I wouldn't know it. 2471 01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:03,760 Speaker 1: I think that you know, you have intuition, you know 2472 01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:04,479 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. 2473 01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:07,559 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I'm just joking. I don't foresee anything being 2474 01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 2: too crazy. Obviously, if we go out there and we 2475 01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:13,680 Speaker 2: see a significant starter not practicing, that'll be notable. But 2476 01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:15,679 Speaker 2: the only thing I'm keeping an eye on, at least 2477 01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,280 Speaker 2: for now, is probably Tyler Goodson. You know that, or 2478 01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:21,200 Speaker 2: on that unofficial depth chart, him or DJ Giddens be 2479 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,719 Speaker 2: in the backup John Taylor is worth noting. 2480 01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,439 Speaker 1: The things change if one of the other is available 2481 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:29,080 Speaker 1: or not available behind Jonathan Taylor. As far as what 2482 01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:30,000 Speaker 1: the Colts want to do. 2483 01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:31,800 Speaker 3: I'm kind of feeling good now, Mark said he likes 2484 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,040 Speaker 3: my team. There has to be a bit of a 2485 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:35,280 Speaker 3: punchline somewhere in that. 2486 01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:39,920 Speaker 4: You having the twelfth overall, like having that you're in 2487 01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:42,160 Speaker 4: a good spot. Twelve and thirteen, what'd you do? You went, 2488 01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:44,400 Speaker 4: We'll wait, Let's wait till the end of the show. 2489 01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:46,280 Speaker 4: I'm just saying I like it. I like what you've 2490 01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:47,040 Speaker 4: done so far. 2491 01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:49,960 Speaker 3: Teams here, I want to say thank you, but it 2492 01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,599 Speaker 3: sounds like me telling Steven Holder congrats on Miami's win. 2493 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:54,600 Speaker 4: I feel like I've burned you so many times that 2494 01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:56,120 Speaker 4: you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop, And 2495 01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:57,280 Speaker 4: there's no other shoe right now. 2496 01:51:57,720 --> 01:51:59,080 Speaker 3: Jeff, where are you going with me on that? 2497 01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:02,240 Speaker 1: As far as whoever backs up job Taylor, does it 2498 01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:04,599 Speaker 1: change the way Shank Stychen operates on off. 2499 01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:05,439 Speaker 3: Think it's a big question. 2500 01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:05,600 Speaker 4: You know. 2501 01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 3: Last year he was second in the league, Taylor to 2502 01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,240 Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley in terms of carries, so they obviously had 2503 01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:13,960 Speaker 3: a big workload for him. And right now, you know, 2504 01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:15,840 Speaker 3: who do you trust there? And who do you trust 2505 01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,240 Speaker 3: on third down? I mean, I'll continue to kind of 2506 01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:20,960 Speaker 3: drive that home. You know, Taylor I don't think is 2507 01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,200 Speaker 3: a very good pass catching back. But at times I 2508 01:52:23,240 --> 01:52:24,760 Speaker 3: kind of look at the Colts group and think, is 2509 01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,679 Speaker 3: there anyone else that has really supplanted him in that role? 2510 01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:30,360 Speaker 3: And I don't know if there is an answer to that. 2511 01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:33,240 Speaker 3: Maybe it is a healthy Tyler Goodson. Do you really 2512 01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:36,360 Speaker 3: want a rookie and DJ Giddons doing that, so I 2513 01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:39,320 Speaker 3: definitely have some question marks there. But Jonathan Taylor went 2514 01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:42,559 Speaker 3: what fifth overall in our draft. I get why because 2515 01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,360 Speaker 3: on first and second down, I think he will continue 2516 01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 3: to be a huge, huge focal point. 2517 01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:47,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I will tell you this. He went 2518 01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:50,519 Speaker 1: a lot higher in the draft here in Indianapolis than 2519 01:52:50,560 --> 01:52:53,080 Speaker 1: he has gone in most places nationally. And I think 2520 01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:55,559 Speaker 1: people nationally are making a mistake because Mark, I don't 2521 01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,120 Speaker 1: know how you feel. I think Jonathan Taylor's gonna have 2522 01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:57,639 Speaker 1: a nice year. 2523 01:52:57,720 --> 01:52:59,320 Speaker 4: I think he's being one of the focal points of 2524 01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:00,880 Speaker 4: the entire offense. I think he's gonna be one of 2525 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,120 Speaker 4: the legit backs in the league because he's going to 2526 01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,320 Speaker 4: carry the majority of that offense, just because there's so 2527 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:07,320 Speaker 4: much unknown in the quarterback position and you don't know 2528 01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:09,160 Speaker 4: what the quarterback position is going to yield their tight 2529 01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:10,320 Speaker 4: end or wide receiver. 2530 01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:14,280 Speaker 1: I agree as far as auto racing is concerned, pretty 2531 01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:16,640 Speaker 1: notable day on the first couple of days after the 2532 01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:18,839 Speaker 1: end of the NTT IndyCar Series yesterday. 2533 01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:20,680 Speaker 3: Now I'm getting ready to pick. Shouldn't you kill up 2534 01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:21,439 Speaker 3: James here for that? 2535 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,880 Speaker 1: James, what can you tell me, what can you tell 2536 01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:25,640 Speaker 1: me about. 2537 01:53:25,479 --> 01:53:29,280 Speaker 2: The best heisman Pols ever at that stiff arm. 2538 01:53:29,280 --> 01:53:32,320 Speaker 3: Will Power not coming back to team Penske here coming 2539 01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:35,000 Speaker 3: up year seventeen for him will be spent or after 2540 01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,799 Speaker 3: seventeen years, I should say it will be spent elsewhere 2541 01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:40,799 Speaker 3: for him justin Herbert or Jordan Love, Oh god. 2542 01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 4: Don't you know what? 2543 01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,920 Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy, James, I'll let you pick my 2544 01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:46,320 Speaker 3: quarterback Herbert or Low And. 2545 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 2: Don't let me pick that because then if things go sideways, No, 2546 01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:49,280 Speaker 2: I'm going. 2547 01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:52,920 Speaker 3: To go back for you, Herbert, Herbert it is, but yes, 2548 01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:57,920 Speaker 3: will power no longer.

Seconds probably gotta. 2613 01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,160 Speaker 3: Work probably still on the. 2614 01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:56,240 Speaker 1: Board WELL i knew he would. BE i don't have 2615 01:56:56,280 --> 01:56:57,920 Speaker 1: TO i don't have to panic reach on that one. 2616 01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:01,280 Speaker 3: Said note, There, james, boy you an audible gasp there 2617 01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,240 Speaker 3: during the break when you Heard Zach kiefer saying that 2618 01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:06,680 Speaker 3: the door is not closed On Anthony richardson with The. 2619 01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:07,000 Speaker 5: Colts. 2620 01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:10,880 Speaker 2: YEAH i just disagree with, that mainly because we just 2621 01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,840 Speaker 2: haven't seen. It so Maybe i'm just a. Skeptic but 2622 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,720 Speaker 2: now you still think he'll get one. More i'd be 2623 01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:20,080 Speaker 2: stunned if he, doesn't you. Know and that's more based 2624 01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:23,440 Speaker 2: Off Daniel jones than. ANYTHING i Assume Anthony richardson. 2625 01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,080 Speaker 3: Will get one more chance to start a game for The, colts, Right. 2626 01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:29,440 Speaker 2: YEAH i believe. That but it's different between being a 2627 01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:32,360 Speaker 2: starter for a game and being the guy, Again and 2628 01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:36,880 Speaker 2: that to me is the question because if you get two. Answers, 2629 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,320 Speaker 2: yeah like if you pivot to him again and you 2630 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,880 Speaker 2: tell us mid season That Anthony richson is once again 2631 01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:44,720 Speaker 2: you're starting, quarterback then again we have to question what 2632 01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:48,640 Speaker 2: plan you. Had and so in, theory if he does 2633 01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:50,600 Speaker 2: work out With Daniel, jones which you, HOPE i, mean 2634 01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:53,040 Speaker 2: you chose him as your quarterback one you said we 2635 01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:55,200 Speaker 2: can go out there and win with this. Guy if 2636 01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:57,560 Speaker 2: that is the hope is if that does happen and 2637 01:57:57,600 --> 01:57:59,760 Speaker 2: you make the playoffs for the first time in four, 2638 01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:03,960 Speaker 2: year then in my, mind your question then becomes what 2639 01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:05,600 Speaker 2: do we do With Daniel? Jones and that is the 2640 01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:07,640 Speaker 2: bigger question than what we do With Anthony richson in our. 2641 01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:09,840 Speaker 3: Backup, Yeah so we got a text FROM i think 2642 01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,600 Speaker 3: It's harken texted us earlier And, JAMES i know you 2643 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:14,680 Speaker 3: were going kind of back and forth with, him and 2644 01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:17,800 Speaker 3: he pointed, out you, Know jones is maybe a stopgap 2645 01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:20,360 Speaker 3: for just this. Season he throws out The richardson plays 2646 01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:23,280 Speaker 3: has only played fifteen. Games all of THAT i think 2647 01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,800 Speaker 3: has some. Validity the problem THAT i would have is, 2648 01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:30,160 Speaker 3: this who's to say the next regime is going to 2649 01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:35,160 Speaker 3: Give Anthony richardson a. Chance you, know that next regime 2650 01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:40,880 Speaker 3: is probably going to want their own guy or their own, 2651 01:58:41,120 --> 01:58:45,480 Speaker 3: guys and you, know maybe they will have some Intriguing Anthony. 2652 01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:48,560 Speaker 3: Richardson he'll still be under contract if indeed it plays 2653 01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:52,800 Speaker 3: out as a new regime is here next, fall so you, 2654 01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:54,960 Speaker 3: know maybe it will be you, know one last atch 2655 01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,360 Speaker 3: effort and you get you, Know kevin O'Connell the famous 2656 01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:59,680 Speaker 3: clip about him saying To richardson on the, field blah, 2657 01:58:59,720 --> 01:59:01,360 Speaker 3: blah you have a bright. Future maybe there is A 2658 01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:03,880 Speaker 3: kevin o'claninell out there the cold, tire and maybe he 2659 01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:06,800 Speaker 3: wants to Give anthony a, Chance but that likelihood just 2660 01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:10,720 Speaker 3: seems not going to like for Every Bryce young is 2661 01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:13,480 Speaker 3: kind of an exception right now for a new regime 2662 01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:16,080 Speaker 3: to come in there and give him a.

Disagree that is always. WELCOME i think 2669 01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:34,360 Speaker 2: my biggest thing is not necessarily that ar wouldn't have 2670 01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:37,920 Speaker 2: a chance to be a starter in THE nfl again 2671 01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:41,120 Speaker 2: or perhaps a very good, Player but as you kind 2672 01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:42,960 Speaker 2: of alluded, To, KEVIN i just think that with this, 2673 01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:46,360 Speaker 2: regime how many chances are you going to get for 2674 01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:50,200 Speaker 2: that opportunity to? Happen for, example you, know two or 2675 01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:52,440 Speaker 2: three years ago when he got, drafted no one was 2676 01:59:52,520 --> 01:59:56,160 Speaker 2: really hitting the at least in my, mind the oh my, 2677 01:59:56,200 --> 01:59:59,320 Speaker 2: gosh they have to absolutely win right now or. Else 2678 02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,200 Speaker 2: that pressure is different now you know you have a, 2679 02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:04,840 Speaker 2: chance like going to his third. Year how many coaches 2680 02:00:04,920 --> 02:00:07,480 Speaker 2: keep their jobs if they missed for the playoffs their 2681 02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:10,400 Speaker 2: first three year in division like? This how many gms 2682 02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:12,959 Speaker 2: get an opportunity to go out and pick another quarterback 2683 02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,000 Speaker 2: or stick with the plan they had when it hasn't worked. 2684 02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:17,960 Speaker 2: Out that's my only, Thing like if you tell me 2685 02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:19,960 Speaker 2: this was year one of him kind of going through 2686 02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:22,160 Speaker 2: the injuries and the benching and the. Maturity, yeah but 2687 02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:24,960 Speaker 2: he's going into year. Three it's a long time to 2688 02:00:25,240 --> 02:00:26,720 Speaker 2: not really have an answer on the. Guy AND i 2689 02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,880 Speaker 2: get that they could, again you, know pick up his 2690 02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:32,040 Speaker 2: fifty year, option not pick it, up give them regular. 2691 02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,240 Speaker 2: Extension that's, not you, know going to break the. Bank 2692 02:00:35,080 --> 02:00:39,160 Speaker 2: but who's to Say Chris ballad and company are the 2693 02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:41,680 Speaker 2: ones making that decision if it doesn't work out this. 2694 02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:43,360 Speaker 2: Year that's WHY i think this year is so pivotal 2695 02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:46,240 Speaker 2: for the. Franchise you went With Daniel, jones you said 2696 02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:48,280 Speaker 2: you can win with. Him you have to do. That 2697 02:00:48,360 --> 02:00:51,440 Speaker 2: if you, don't why would anyone give you an opportunity 2698 02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:54,280 Speaker 2: to pivot back To anthony or to pick another. QUARTERBACK 2699 02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:56,520 Speaker 2: i Wouldn't IF i wasn't in that, POSITION i would 2700 02:00:56,520 --> 02:00:58,240 Speaker 2: feel like it's time to just start over. 2701 02:00:58,600 --> 02:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Completely And Chris paller wildest. Dreams do you think there's 2702 02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:03,480 Speaker 1: a part of him that that lays awake at, night 2703 02:01:03,520 --> 02:01:05,480 Speaker 1: right before he goes to, sleep and he's just kind of, 2704 02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:07,560 Speaker 1: like you, know if it doesn't work out With, daniel 2705 02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:09,360 Speaker 1: and let's say he rolls an ankle in week four 2706 02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:11,760 Speaker 1: And anthony comes in and he just lights it on 2707 02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:14,800 Speaker 1: fire and becomes everything The colts thought he was going to. 2708 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Be that is like the best case scenario For Chris ballad, 2709 02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:21,680 Speaker 1: right that his guy ultimately catches fire and becomes what 2710 02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:23,120 Speaker 1: could be thought of as a franchise. 2711 02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,640 Speaker 4: GUY i Think Chris ballard's nightmares Are Kevin bowen and 2712 02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:29,800 Speaker 4: wide receivers kem boone wide receivers freaking Kem. 2713 02:01:29,880 --> 02:01:33,440 Speaker 3: Bo, YEAH i, YES i, mean if you're gonna Summarize 2714 02:01:33,520 --> 02:01:36,160 Speaker 3: Chris baward's best case scenario of the, season The colts 2715 02:01:36,200 --> 02:01:38,959 Speaker 3: make the playoffs when the division And Anthony richardson somehow 2716 02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:41,320 Speaker 3: is back in the lineup and looks. 2717 02:01:41,320 --> 02:01:42,240 Speaker 5: Great. Yeah. 2718 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:43,680 Speaker 2: Easy but here's my other. 2719 02:01:43,760 --> 02:01:47,480 Speaker 3: Buddy two best case in realistic are, yeah two very different. 2720 02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:49,760 Speaker 2: Things AND i hear people, say, well you don't have 2721 02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:53,320 Speaker 2: to Pay Daniel jones if he has a good, year that's, 2722 02:01:53,880 --> 02:01:55,840 Speaker 2: Fair AND i say good relative to what he had 2723 02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:57,360 Speaker 2: in the, Past like if he had very, LEAST. 2724 02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:59,480 Speaker 3: I think he'd have to franchise tag. Him, yeah BUT 2725 02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:01,800 Speaker 3: i just see a multi year deal out, there. 2726 02:02:01,680 --> 02:02:05,240 Speaker 2: Because my thing, is, okay If Daniel, jones even if 2727 02:02:05,240 --> 02:02:08,280 Speaker 2: he has just a pedestrian season when it comes to 2728 02:02:08,640 --> 02:02:11,360 Speaker 2: good quarterback, play if he's just slightly above, average but 2729 02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:12,960 Speaker 2: if that's enough to get you to the playoffs for 2730 02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:15,800 Speaker 2: the first time in four? Years are you really going to? 2731 02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:17,240 Speaker 2: Go And i'm not saying you got to pay, him 2732 02:02:17,280 --> 02:02:19,880 Speaker 2: but it is a question because then you got to 2733 02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:22,160 Speaker 2: go To Quentin, nelson and you got to go To DeForest, 2734 02:02:22,200 --> 02:02:23,840 Speaker 2: buckner and you got to go to the, others Got 2735 02:02:23,880 --> 02:02:26,120 Speaker 2: Kenny moore and others and tell, them, hey by the, 2736 02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:27,920 Speaker 2: way that quarterback that we picked up that got you 2737 02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:29,520 Speaker 2: back to the playoffs the first time in four, Years, 2738 02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 2: yeah we're gonna get rid of him and just start over. 2739 02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:34,680 Speaker 2: Again what so like that to me is kind of 2740 02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:36,920 Speaker 2: the conundrum they found. Themselves AND i know a lot 2741 02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:39,560 Speaker 2: of it is the hypotheticals what happens if it could, 2742 02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:42,600 Speaker 2: Happen BUT i think that's a realistic possibility where If 2743 02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:44,440 Speaker 2: Daniel jones is just good enough to get you in the, 2744 02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:48,000 Speaker 2: playoffs then on one hand you're, Happy but on the other, 2745 02:02:48,040 --> 02:02:50,480 Speaker 2: hand you're probably, thinking, man, like what do we do, 2746 02:02:50,600 --> 02:02:52,520 Speaker 2: now and how do you explain that to their aggressive 2747 02:02:52,520 --> 02:02:54,000 Speaker 2: you guys in your, roster because that's the other. Thing 2748 02:02:54,680 --> 02:02:57,240 Speaker 2: you're not in a position to necessarily be in, this 2749 02:02:59,240 --> 02:03:01,600 Speaker 2: like if you're not trying to win now With Daniel 2750 02:03:01,680 --> 02:03:03,880 Speaker 2: jones or with somebody. Else then what are you doing 2751 02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:07,120 Speaker 2: because all your other players that are good are, older 2752 02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:09,640 Speaker 2: so you don't really have a chance to necessarily go 2753 02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:12,440 Speaker 2: and rebuild with another. Quarterback lets're trying to strip the 2754 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:16,280 Speaker 2: whole thing. DOWN i, Mean Traverius wars twenty, Nine kennymore is, 2755 02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:18,760 Speaker 2: thirty The Forrest, BUCKNER i believe it is. Thirty Grover 2756 02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:22,440 Speaker 2: stewart's at.

Straightforward but 2935 02:11:05,120 --> 02:11:06,880 Speaker 3: if you were to say The colts are plus two 2936 02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:09,840 Speaker 3: fifty to make the, playoffs that is foreign to a 2937 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:13,480 Speaker 3: lot of. People, basically plus two to fifty means if 2938 02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:16,560 Speaker 3: you bet ten, dollars you win that, bet you get 2939 02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:21,280 Speaker 3: twenty five dollars on top of your, ten right. There 2940 02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:24,800 Speaker 3: so those are when we talk about, odds that's what 2941 02:11:24,840 --> 02:11:26,920 Speaker 3: you'd be looking. At SO i don't. KNOW i don't 2942 02:11:26,960 --> 02:11:30,360 Speaker 3: think we talk a ton a ton on the wagering gambling, 2943 02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:32,400 Speaker 3: scale but when we, DO i try to make sure 2944 02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:35,200 Speaker 3: that we throw in kind of what the pluses and 2945 02:11:35,280 --> 02:11:38,000 Speaker 3: the minuses mean of. It but, yes The colts are 2946 02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:40,880 Speaker 3: A week one favorite here over The Miami, dolphins AND 2947 02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:43,400 Speaker 3: i believe it's one of the lower over unders of the. 2948 02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:45,160 Speaker 3: WEEK i want to, say it's like hovering around forty 2949 02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:45,680 Speaker 3: six forty. 2950 02:11:45,720 --> 02:11:46,880 Speaker 5: Seven. 2951 02:11:47,720 --> 02:11:52,160 Speaker 1: YEAH I i'm trying to think of the Best colts 2952 02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:56,880 Speaker 1: bets for the, year AND i would probably go with 2953 02:11:56,960 --> 02:11:59,320 Speaker 1: the over under on wins BECAUSE i still think that 2954 02:11:59,360 --> 02:12:02,080 Speaker 1: there's enough around whatever quarterback is playing that this team 2955 02:12:02,200 --> 02:12:06,600 Speaker 1: should win eight nine, games and maybe with a break 2956 02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:08,440 Speaker 1: along the, way who. Knows but there's a lot of 2957 02:12:08,480 --> 02:12:11,760 Speaker 1: talent around this. TEAM i like what they've done defensively 2958 02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:14,920 Speaker 1: to solidify. Things i'm a little bit worried about do 2959 02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:17,839 Speaker 1: they have enough edge, rush But i'm hopeful we'll. See 2960 02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:21,520 Speaker 1: BUT i really like their compliment of offensive weapons around the. 2961 02:12:21,600 --> 02:12:24,280 Speaker 3: Quarterback, YEAH i mean seven and a. Half it's the over. 2962 02:12:24,400 --> 02:12:26,440 Speaker 3: Under if you made me pick one of the, OTHER 2963 02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:29,520 Speaker 3: i would pick the. Over if you literally, said all, 2964 02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:31,240 Speaker 3: right seven and a half, games you have to pick 2965 02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:33,160 Speaker 3: one or the. Other over it's WHY i like, it 2966 02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:37,400 Speaker 3: or under, SEVEN i would go. OVER i don't say 2967 02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:40,520 Speaker 3: it with an abundance of. CONFIDENCE i don't necessarily want 2968 02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:43,240 Speaker 3: to go into my bank accounts and use that. Money 2969 02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:45,600 Speaker 3: but if you've made. 2970 02:12:45,560 --> 02:12:46,880 Speaker 2: Me maddie's gonna be, like what are you? 2971 02:12:46,960 --> 02:12:49,680 Speaker 3: Doing pick one or the? OTHER i go. There it's a. 2972 02:12:49,760 --> 02:12:52,120 Speaker 3: Question we Asked Stephen holder, earlier And i'll ask you 2973 02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:55,400 Speaker 3: two right. Now better Chance colt's draft in the top 2974 02:12:55,440 --> 02:12:58,960 Speaker 3: eight of the draft or the bottom. Eight, basically do 2975 02:12:58,960 --> 02:13:00,440 Speaker 3: you think get a better chance they are one of 2976 02:13:00,480 --> 02:13:02,320 Speaker 3: the worst eight teams in the league or their division. 2977 02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:04,080 Speaker 3: WINNER i do one of the final eight. 2978 02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:06,080 Speaker 1: Standing, YEAH i don't think they're one of the final eight, 2979 02:13:06,120 --> 02:13:08,840 Speaker 1: Standings So i'll probably say in the first eight because 2980 02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:12,000 Speaker 1: if things go terribly, wrong that's Probably. 2981 02:13:13,080 --> 02:13:14,080 Speaker 3: Wait you just really changed your. 2982 02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Twos i'm just saying they're not one of the top eight. 2983 02:13:17,400 --> 02:13:20,680 Speaker 1: Teams i've never said eleven wins ever came out of my. 2984 02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:23,880 Speaker 1: Mouth mark check. 2985 02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:27,360 Speaker 4: You have that left to, dig. 2986 02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,600 Speaker 2: So sort of answer your. QUESTION i do think they 2987 02:13:31,640 --> 02:13:34,040 Speaker 2: have a better chance to win the division because they 2988 02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:36,200 Speaker 2: don't really bought them, out AND i think that they're 2989 02:13:36,240 --> 02:13:39,320 Speaker 2: coaching has been good enough to kind of absorb some 2990 02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:42,160 Speaker 2: of the key. ABSENCES i, mean let's not forget beyond 2991 02:13:42,200 --> 02:13:45,920 Speaker 2: the quarterback. Play Jonathan taylor was not really healthy in 2992 02:13:45,960 --> 02:13:48,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Three he was healthier last, year but he's 2993 02:13:48,760 --> 02:13:50,640 Speaker 2: still missing a handful of, games OR i want to 2994 02:13:50,760 --> 02:13:52,600 Speaker 2: a handful OF i think missed three games last. Year 2995 02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:56,680 Speaker 2: so they've been able to navigate some of these absences 2996 02:13:56,720 --> 02:14:00,600 Speaker 2: and still be competitive and do just enough, to you, 2997 02:14:00,600 --> 02:14:02,200 Speaker 2: know give you some hope and then kind of snatch 2998 02:14:02,240 --> 02:14:04,200 Speaker 2: away from you at the end when they don't complete 2999 02:14:04,280 --> 02:14:06,600 Speaker 2: the task of making the. Playoffs BUT i think the 3000 02:14:07,160 --> 02:14:09,120 Speaker 2: not the Cas i'm, sorry The colts are going to 3001 02:14:09,120 --> 02:14:10,440 Speaker 2: be right in the. 3002 02:14:10,480 --> 02:14:14,080 Speaker 4: Mix CAN i give you A colts, play possibly season long? 3003 02:14:14,160 --> 02:14:14,400 Speaker 8: Play? 3004 02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:19,080 Speaker 4: Sure Jonathan taylor leading rusher in THE. Nfl he's currently 3005 02:14:19,240 --> 02:14:23,680 Speaker 4: fourth at plus eight. Hundred the leaders Are Saquon, Barkley Derek, 3006 02:14:23,720 --> 02:14:27,000 Speaker 4: henry B John. ROBINSON i Think Jonathan taylor far and 3007 02:14:27,040 --> 02:14:31,120 Speaker 4: away is the lead back and The. Colts he's gonna 3008 02:14:31,120 --> 02:14:33,960 Speaker 4: get a lot of. Work plus eight. HUNDRED i think that's. 3009 02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:36,560 Speaker 3: Annually one of the harder props mark because which is 3010 02:14:36,640 --> 02:14:38,760 Speaker 3: it all takes one? Injury, OH i, know. 3011 02:14:38,920 --> 02:14:43,440 Speaker 1: But you missed two.
