1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: It's query in company.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be keeping you company for the next few hours.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 3: You are not going to believe the company.

4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: This company. You're gonna bankrupt your mama's company. At least

5
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: I have the radio to keep me company.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: On ninety three to five and one oh seven five

7
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: the fan, Moley.

8
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 4: Cox and Michael Pittman Junior to the right side.

9
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 3: They give us to Taylor cuts off a block bearing

10
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 3: to us right. He to the ten path at the

11
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: fot who's gonna score?

12
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 5: You know it?

13
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: Touchdown? Shotgun snap for Jones looking left.

14
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 4: He's gonna take a shot and throws a laser towards

15
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 4: the pylon and that is a catch for Michael Pittman Junior.

16
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: There's a penalty on the play, but Petman.

17
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: Scores a touchdown as Petman snared it in with one

18
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 4: hand on a twenty one yard absolute dart throw it

19
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: by Daniel Jones under center. Jones on first down, they

20
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: give it to Taylor left side.

21
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: He's at the twenty twenty.

22
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: Five thirty thirty five down the sideline, forty fifty yard line.

23
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Still going tyre up on the sideline.

24
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 6: He's got a chance ted five touchdown.

25
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor takes it eighty yards to the house.

26
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: Daniel shotgun snap, looks left, stands in the pocket.

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: Now he's flushed to the right side. Lookie, he's got

28
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: a part of the trucks on and.

29
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: That is a touchdown for the Coults. This time, it's

30
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: just down with a score.

31
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: Fourth red zone trip today for the Colts. Lord jump

32
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 4: past to Jonathan Taylor cuts off a block. He's at

33
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 4: the ten, he's at the five. He's gonna score again. Touchdown.

34
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 7: He's really really good. He seems like he makes play

35
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 7: after play, long run after long run, explosive. He didn't

36
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 7: have as many plays, and I guess the sweep was

37
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 7: technically in the past game. But he didn't have as

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 7: many plays today as he's had throughout the season. But

39
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 7: he's been really big in those situations throughout this season.

40
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,639
Speaker 7: So yeah, just a dynamic football player.

41
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: Obviously huge.

42
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 6: You get a win at home, especially a division opponent,

43
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 6: was big. I thought our guys did a great job

44
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 6: defensively holding the fourteen and then offensively scoring thirty eight

45
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 6: points there. And JT had to help a game obviously,

46
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 6: the big runs there. Daniel was played awesome again. O

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 6: line protected well the pass rush was getting there. I

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 6: thought it was just a great team win.

49
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: That's how it sounded yesterday Matt Taylor from the Colts

50
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: Radio Network, a little bit of a cameo from Rick

51
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: Venturi there as well. You heard from Daniel Jones Shane Steichen.

52
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Colts yesterday, as was expected, a resounding win over the

53
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans. And let me begin this show by saying

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: this on a Monday, Okay, officially, I want the city

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: of Indianapolis to understand, grasp, absorb, and soak in what

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm about to say. You Colts fans, no matter where

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: you're here my voice in this town or nationwide, and

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: know other people that listen to the show that live

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: in Virginia or Florida or Colorado that are from here,

60
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: that are Colts fans, and listen in. This is a

61
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: surreal but a real statement. We have reached the pot

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: with this team where yes, there is still this disbelief,

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 3: but this by record is not only the best team

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. This by record, is not

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: only a team that is starting to look over their

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: shoulder to find out who possibly can even be hanging

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: around with them to unseat them. As the number one

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: seed in the AFC for home field advantage. And yes,

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: we are just now entering into the halfway era. I

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: get it, and the schedule gets a little bit tougher maybe,

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: But two things here. Number One, we have reached the

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: point where this football team, the Indianapolis Colts, when they

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: win games resoundingly. I'm not saying that we are back

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: to the time period of yeah, this is what I expect.

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: Wake me up, like midway through the third quarter, so

76
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: I can see it. They're up thirty five. We're not

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: totally there yet, but you look at a game yesterday

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: and you go, yeah, I mean they they didn't even

79
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: play their best and it was never in question. Part

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: of that's Tennessee. But part of that is the balance

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: and the overall authority of this roster and this team,

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: whether you're talking about the way that they in cam

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 3: Ward does have some talent, does have some skill, and

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: I think the pass rush is still of question. But

85
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: defensive backfield, for example, an area where they have been

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: clearly and we are aware of it, shorthanded. And yet

87
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: you got guy, you know, krys La Monz comes in

88
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: and plays well, makes plays for them. You get Leatu Latu.

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: You're trying to get going. You're trying to see why

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: they were so excited about having him as the number

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: one defensive players selected in the year that he came

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: out in the draft. He I thought he got a

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: sack yesterday they gave him credit for a half sack.

94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: There was some pressure there. They had four sacks of

95
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: cam Ward probably would have liked to have seen more

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: in that area for certain, But Tennessee, with exception of

97
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: their loans, you know that early score, you never felt

98
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: like there was any sort of threat. Anytime they got

99
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: the ball, You're like, Okay, they just did not get

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: any footing. Part of that's on Tennessee, but part of

101
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 3: that's the defense. And then offensively for Indianapolis. Michael Pittman

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: Junior with arguably the best catch he's made as a pro.

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: And this guy's been a pros pro. He's played with

104
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: a bad back, He's played where he was literally the

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: only guy on the field and everybody knew where the

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: ball was going. And now what you're seeing is this

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: is Michael Pittman Junior is to use a term, that

108
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: guy is just a dog, right and like he is

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 3: now getting his flowers of the patience that he's shown

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: of being the guy that never sold, never complained. I

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: never once heard my Pittman Junior the last two years say, guys, look,

112
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: I'm like the only guy out there. Everybody knows where

113
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: they're trying to get the ball. And I never heard

114
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: him soulk about it, never heard him complain. And yes,

115
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: they had little bits and blips of when they had

116
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: help for him. I mean, Josh Downs obviously showed promise

117
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: young Johnathan Taylor show, but in terms of getting it

118
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 3: all going in one area like they are right now.

119
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: And yesterday was a game where the Colts almost kind

120
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: of slept walk through the first half, you could say.

121
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: And yet just by continuing to go through the motion

122
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: of what they do, you saw how big the separation is.

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: And the Indianapolis Colts are at a point now where

124
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: you look at wins and I'm not saying that we're spoiled,

125
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: but we're already getting to that point of yeah, I

126
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: get it, they were supposed to win. I get it.

127
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: You know what jumped out at you, I don't know

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: they pulled away. We knew they were going to great.

129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: I was able to go get like a pretzel and

130
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: a beer at one point, and I, you know, I

131
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: knew maybe I'd missed a score, but there wasn't gonna

132
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: be some miraculous comeback. This is an unbelievably solid and

133
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: balanced football team. And I've said it now for probably

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: three weeks. Credit to Chris Ballard. The areas in which

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: he was building them that we all were rolling our

136
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: eyes over are now starting to pay off. Their offensive

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: line is solid, their quarterback play is at this point

138
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: still elite. Their wide receivers are plentiful, their tight end

139
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: is dynamic, and they're running back is game changing. And

140
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: the Colts are now seven to one. And then they

141
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: got a huge assist last night. And you don't think it.

142
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: You don't think it's a big assist last night, but

143
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: as you were sitting back and you were enjoying the

144
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: fruits of a late four to twenty five kick, which

145
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: was unusual, and by the time you get home, it's

146
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: like eight o'clock probably, and you know, you're sitting there

147
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: and you're kicking back and you're like man, and you're

148
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: looking at the rest of the scores around the league.

149
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: And then the late game comes on Sunday Night football,

150
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: the Steelers and the Packers, and at one point it

151
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: was difficult to determine. I was like, wait, wait, I

152
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: can't remember is this game in green Bay or Pittsburgh

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: because you could hear the fans, right, and the uniforms,

154
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: and the uniforms, yes.

155
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: God, those were awful.

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: You didn't like them. I hated the Steelers' uniforms. Those

157
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 3: were disgusting. The Steelers have like a number of throwback

158
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: uniforms that are weird, right, and they were just like,

159
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: my name is Eddie Garrison, by the way, for just

160
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: tuning in Eddie Garrison. The other voice you on this program,

161
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: It is Query and Company here on ninety three five

162
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: and one oh seven five. The fan Eddie. That Pittsburgh

163
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: game last night, Yes, you can look at it and say, okay,

164
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: did green Bay give Pittsburgh some sort of a wake

165
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: up call of now where there's like I'm not gonna say,

166
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: a desperation for Pittsburgh, but a greater sense of urgency

167
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: with Indianapolis coming in now, with the Colts going on

168
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 3: the road to Pittsburgh next week. I don't know about that.

169
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: What I know is this, as I was watching that

170
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: game and for the better part of the first half,

171
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: of that game, it kind of felt like Pittsburgh, I'm

172
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: not gonna say it was in control of it, but

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: you're looking at it going okay, and then Jordan Love,

174
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: you know, I thought Green Bay showed an offensive balance

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, the Packers ended up winning that game,

176
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 3: and once they got the lead, you just kind of,

177
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: you know, man, Pittsburgh just couldn't get anything going in

178
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: the second half. But nonetheless, it doesn't sound like a

179
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 3: huge difference between you know, going into that game, what

180
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: their records were, between Pittsburgh winning and losing that game.

181
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: But follow me here as I was watching it. Okay,

182
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's coming in four and three and five and two

183
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: does not sound like a huge difference. Just s done. Yeah, okay, whatever,

184
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: They're fine. They're still like a top their division, and

185
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: that division's crumbling. Baltimore yesterday got a nice win, but

186
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: they're two and five. Cleveland's a dumpster fire, Cincinnati's a

187
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: dumpster fire.

188
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: You know.

189
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 3: But now what that game did and where this is

190
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: a huge cushion, is you give yourself a little bit

191
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: more even margin for air. Because I was thinking about

192
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: it with that game beginning and saying to myself, even

193
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: though the Colts have the late bye, so they have

194
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: one more game played. I'm thinking, okay, the Cults are

195
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: going in at seven and one next week. If Pittsburgh

196
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: wins this game last night, they are still then in

197
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: the lost column, within putting themselves in position to in

198
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: the lost column be tied with Indianapolis by winning it

199
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: home next week. As it stands, now, even more margin

200
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: for air for the Colts, because going into Pittsburgh you're

201
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: looking for any break you can get. They got one

202
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: last night. Green Bay did Indianapolis a major solid and

203
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: the Colts. Now when you look at it, Eddie, when

204
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: you look at right now, not just the AFC, but

205
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: the NFL in general, you say to yourselves, and I

206
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: want everybody to hear me out here, and almost pinch yourself. Okay,

207
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: the Colts are seven and one, and you think it

208
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like still they're like clicking on all Maybe

209
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: I'm not giving them enough credit. It doesn't feel like

210
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: it's It is surreal to think they're the best team

211
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: in the NFL. But who is better? Who scares you?

212
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: The Colts have a home game tomorrow in the playoffs.

213
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: Who worries you coming in here? They're only even if

214
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: I'll put it this way, in the AFC, I think

215
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: there's there's twenteen. You say one one. Who's the one?

216
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: Kansas City? What about Buffalo?

217
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 8: Nah?

218
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: Even though they cruise by, you know, Carolina, they still

219
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: didn't look great yesterday. And I have questions about their defense.

220
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: But you're going to stop the run. No, They've played

221
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: a very favorable schedule like the Colts. That's the thing

222
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: for the Colts.

223
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: Now. I'm not gonna say it gets real, but the

224
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: schedule gets trickier, not necessarily hard. Matt murder Ram's gonna

225
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: join us two o'clock today, the NFL Rider, and he'll

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: give us better indication on this on what he thinks

227
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: of it. But if you look at the next three, Okay,

228
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh got Pittsburgh. That doesn't overly concern me. But you

229
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: can't have a half like the Colts had yesterday where

230
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: you're just kind of going through motion against Pittsburgh. Not

231
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: that Pittsburgh's some high flying, elite level offense, but they

232
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: are pretty sound defensively. I just Pittsburgh, you gotta be

233
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: aware of. Okay, Atlanta in Germany just kind of one

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: of those tricky games because you just don't know. Atlanta

235
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: is good defensively, I don't think Atlanta is terrible. And

236
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: then Kansas City in Kansas City is going to be tough.

237
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 3: But even with that, even with that, who jumps out

238
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 3: of you? I mean Seattle and San Francisco. That's it. Yep,

239
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: there are your tests. There are your remaining tests. The

240
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: rest of it. The AFC South Thrid, okay, whatever, right.

241
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the fortunate thing for the Colts is that

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: they have Kansas City coming off the bye week, so

243
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: they have a week to prepare.

244
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: Now here is another thing, and Indiana football was dynamic

245
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: on Saturday. We will get into that Indiana basketball yesterday,

246
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: and then the Pacers are a mass unit. I mean,

247
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: there's plenty to get to over the course of today,

248
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: but I want to begin with this when it comes

249
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: to the Colts. We were just talking about it off

250
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: the air, but I think it is it's a wonderful

251
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 3: problem to have, a wonderful problem to have. If you

252
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 3: look look up the definition, Eddie, can you do me

253
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: a favorite, please, because this is an age old discussion

254
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: and argument. Can you look up for me the criteria

255
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: or the definition if there even is one listed for

256
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: the NFL awards of what the criteria is for most

257
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: valuable Player. Now, it goes without saying, it goes without saying,

258
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: the NFL MVP, Jake, You're an idiot. Yeah, we know that,

259
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: you're an idiot. The NFL MVP is the guy that

260
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: is the most valuable in the league, right, Okay.

261
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: A Most Valuable Player award is handed out each year

262
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: to the player adjudged to be the most valuable in

263
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: the NFL that season. Okay, Now, can you look up

264
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: Offensive Player of the Year. The NFL Offensive Player of

265
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: the Year Award is an annual award given by various

266
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: organizations to the player who is considered the top offensive

267
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: player during the regular season. These organizations include APPFWA, and

268
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: Sporting News. The APIECE award is recognized at the annual

269
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: NFL Honors ceremony.

270
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: Now by those definitions, and I'm literally splitting hairs here,

271
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: I realize, and it's a good problem to have. But

272
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts right now on their roster through eight games,

273
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts have both the Offensive Player of the

274
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: Year and the most valuable player both and both of

275
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: them are not the same person. Now, there have been

276
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: times where you look at it and you go, oh,

277
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: this guy you know, But in this case, the top

278
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: offensive player and the most valuable player in the national

279
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: football LIKEGUE, AFC, NFL, whichever you want to look at,

280
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: I mean to take the entire planet. Jonathan Taylor yesterday

281
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: once again showed. I believe I heard Shane Stike and say,

282
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: it's what the first time that a back has had

283
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: three three touchdown games in a season?

284
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: He's had four?

285
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Is it four?

286
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Now?

287
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Three consecutive against three sective.

288
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: That's what it is. So either way, Jonathan Taylor when

289
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: he breaks free for an eighty yard run and Jonathan

290
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: Taylor is going down the sidelines, I'm watching Jonathan Taylor

291
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking back to something I'm thinking back to

292
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, and I believe it was.

293
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: Drew Pearson was an NFL wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys,

294
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: kind of a showman type. Not a bad player, not elite,

295
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: but a good player. And Lynn Swan I'm going on

296
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: the way back here, I realize and both of those

297
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: wide receivers, two wide receivers for two of the novaded

298
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: franchises of the late seventies, early eighties and I'm a kid,

299
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 3: and as a kid, I'm just enamored by the National

300
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: Football League and the aura of the NFL, and the

301
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: aura of the NFL when I was a kid was

302
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: that it was this, you know, the voice of John

303
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: Facinda telling me about like hard hits and ice bowls

304
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: and lambeau Field and Jack Lambert and the Oakland Raiders

305
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: and all of that, right, and it's all tough guy

306
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: grit image stuff. And then two of the marquee players

307
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: that I'm seeing in the NFL, Drew Pearson and Lynn Swann,

308
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: and I see this NFL film's little vignette about how

309
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 3: both of them in the offseason take ballet classes, and

310
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: this dichotomy goes through my mind as a little kid, like,

311
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: wait a minute, how can big time NFL tough John

312
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: Steam coming off the helmets, how can these guys be

313
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: taking ballet lessons? And then I see them explain it

314
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: that they take ballet lessons not because they want to

315
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 3: be Barishnikov, but rather because there are times and situations

316
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: where they have to have body balance of towing the

317
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: line and not falling out of bounds and tiptoeing while

318
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: they run. And even as a little kid, I thought,

319
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: that's brilliant, the this yin and yang of the tough,

320
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: tough football style, and yet in that moment having the

321
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: finesse and for the Colts, there is an element of

322
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: that on display each and every Sunday because we were

323
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: told going into it, like four years ago, when Chris

324
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: Ballard built this team that it was going to start

325
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: in the trenches, and it was they were gonna be

326
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: a tough team, and they were, and they have a

327
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 3: running back and they're you know, just run the damn ball,

328
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: Quentin Nelson. You know, I mean, you know, Quinton, You're

329
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: gonna be like Hannah, you know, winning Pro Bowls. Just

330
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: run the damn And all of us were saying, what

331
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: are you talking about. It's a finesse league now, it's

332
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: a passer league now. But what we saw on display

333
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: as Jonathan Taylor's running down that field is that that

334
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: yen and yang can exist all in one. You have

335
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: a team that can be the tough Tyler Warren, Quentin

336
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 3: Nelson smash mouth football team, but then you also have

337
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: one that can pop loose with a Jonathan Taylor and

338
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 3: he's running down the sideline, He's balancing himself and he

339
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: has that finesse and breaking through a line. Now he

340
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: had a line that was the size of or a

341
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: hole that was the size of Meridian Street. But there's

342
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: a yen and yang in the way the Colts can

343
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: beat you. They can out physical U offensively by throwing

344
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 3: it to Tyler Warren and getting yards after catch. They

345
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: can out physical you by throwing it to in the

346
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: corner of the end zone to Michael Pittman and having

347
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: him use one arm to ward off the defender, the

348
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: other de corral in a pass, and they can pop

349
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: Jonathan Tailor between the tackles or off guard and then

350
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: get him on the sidelines and allow him to use

351
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: that finesse and balance himself down the sidelines while sprinting

352
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: away from everybody. All of it was on display, and

353
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: in watching all of that, what I was thinking to

354
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: myself is there's also this yin and yang of what's

355
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: the most valuable player and who's the player of the year.

356
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: The offensive player of the year right now in the

357
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: National Football League is Jonathan Taylor. What he is doing

358
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: is on a different level than any of his peers.

359
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: What he is doing is putting away games or salting them.

360
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 3: What he is doing is separating himself and his team

361
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: and a finesse or a tough way, whichever way is

362
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 3: needed week in and week out. He is the best

363
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 3: offensive weapon in the National Football League in twenty twenty five.

364
00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: And the most valuable player in the NFL is not

365
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, who is extremely valuable and everything I just mentioned.

366
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: You would say, wait a minute, Jake, that defines value, correct,

367
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 3: But the most valuable player right now in the National

368
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: Football League hold the phone. Whoever would have guessed I

369
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: said it. The most valuable player in the NFL in

370
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five is Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts.

371
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 3: Because Daniel Jones is not only playing at an incredibly

372
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 3: efficient level, Daniel Jones is not only not turning the

373
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: ball over, taking care of the football, controlling possessions, figuring

374
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: out methodically each and every play where the ball needs

375
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: to go, either to get more yardage on a play

376
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: or to get out of what was a bad play

377
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 3: based on the look that is there by going through progressions.

378
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: He is absolutely masterfully delivering on what his coach, a

379
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: quarterback whisperer, has awakened in him. And yes, maybe that's

380
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: because he has Jonathan Taylor behind him like he had

381
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley early when he had a good year in

382
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: New York. So wouldn't that make Taylor more valuable? Understood?

383
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: But Daniel Jones in terms of replacement of the next guy.

384
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: You take Jonathan Taylor out of the mix for the Colts,

385
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: you put another running back in. You get sixty percent

386
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: the production out of the backfield. Perhaps, But you still

387
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: can throw to Tyler Warren. You still can throw to

388
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman. You still can throw to Josh Downs, You

389
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: still can roll out Daniel Jones. You still can throw

390
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: to Alec Pierce. You take Daniel Jones out of that

391
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: offense and put in Riley Leonard, who is a younger player,

392
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: or put in Anthony Richardson. You are limiting yourself now

393
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: on the number of progressions, the number of reeds you

394
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: can go through, the number of times you can get

395
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: out of a bad play. Daniel Jones is the most

396
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 3: valuable player on a team that happens to have the

397
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: guy that is the best offensive player in the NFL.

398
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: All of it spells together to say this. The Indianapolis

399
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: Colts are seven and one. The Indianapolis Colts are the

400
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: best team in the NFL right now, based on what

401
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: they've done, based on the manner in which they're doing

402
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: it and the number of ways in which they're doing it,

403
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: and based on the fact that right now, nearing the

404
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: halfway point, right now, the Lombardi Trophy winning and getting

405
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 3: yourself into the Super Bowl goes through Indianapolis, Indiana, no

406
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: matter who. Now that's we'll see if that sustains. Now

407
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: things get not harder but a little more tricky. But

408
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: another team in the area that is the best in

409
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: the country. I truly believe it. Indiana football is the

410
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: number one team in college football. They don't make mistakes,

411
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 3: they take control of the football, they force you into

412
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: bad situations, and they absolutely impose their will on people.

413
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: And they did it with the UCLA and their basketball

414
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: team had an exhibition against Baylor yesterday. Don Fisher was

415
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: on the call for both. He joins us. Next, we'll

416
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: talk about that loaded show today Mike Chapple joining ust

417
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: to Ram joins us and reading all of your comments

418
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: in eight words or fewer on where you think the

419
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: Colts are. We'll do it all over the course of today.

420
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: A Monday Victorious Monday yet another one seven out of

421

Speaker 3: Quarry Bundle. Use Jake twenty five get twenty five percent off.

426
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 3: Don Fisher joining us now and listen a busy weekend. Don.

427
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you the choice because we had

428
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: the introduction to seeing the basketball team against Baylor yesterday,

429
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: and then obviously Indiana's just continued impressive play on the

430
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: football field on Saturday against UCLA. So I will give

431
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 3: you the choice basketball football which one we want to

432
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: lead with here?

433
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Well, because I better get football out of the way first,

434
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: since it was two days ago and I could forget

435
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things. But U that said, the football

436
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: team was really impressive on Saturday, taking not a team

437
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: that had gotten new coaching staff, a new player, not

438
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: new players, but new systems and new formations and all

439
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. And a lot of folks thought

440
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: that Indiana was going to have some problems with UCLA.

441
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: It didn't go out and come out that way simply

442
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: because it started out with two plays in an interception

443
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: by Aidan Fisher running in for a touchdown of twenty

444
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: five yards. And I'm telling you, you could just almost

445
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: feel the air come out of the balloon for UCLA

446
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: after that play. And I'm not saying that they didn't

447
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: play hard the rest of the first half or whatever,

448
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: but the game got out of hand fairly quickly, and

449
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 1: Indiana just dominated the Bruins in that contest. And it

450
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: wasn't even Indiana's best performance of the year. It was

451
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: really just kind of what you would call an average

452
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: effort on the Indiana part. And I say that because

453
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Indiana just had controlled the game the entire time and

454
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: you never felt like there was going to be a problem.

455
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting, don because and whoever would have guessed

456
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: this was going to be the case in the fact

457
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: that the Colts are almost like India. It's like Sunday,

458
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: we're seeing almost what you saw on Saturday. And the

459
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: fact that when you have a team you're like, yeah, okay,

460
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: they are playing at such a high level that even

461
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: like a lethargic's the wrong word, but yes, I mean

462
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: a game where maybe you aren't even clicking on all

463
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: cylinders and you're that much more superior than the opponent.

464
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: And Indiana, I thought we saw that on Saturday. I'll

465
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: be honest, I was thinking about this today on my

466
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: way in, and I thought, if I was going to

467
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: ask Don Fisher a question of concern about Indiana football,

468
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: I don't know where it would be. I just don't.

469
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe at times kind of quo going through

470
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: the motions, but don it just seems like a football

471
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 3: team that doesn't really have a weakness that you are

472
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: hoping the other team exposes. Is that fair?

473
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Well, it is at this point, Jake, because if we

474
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: know injuries can take their toll, and we never know

475
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: how that's going to play out. And Aiden Fisher got

476
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: hurt in that ballgame in the first half. He did

477
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: not play the rest of the ballgame. And I think

478
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: he is one of the really key pieces of personnel

479
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: on this roster that they can't afford to lose, simply

480
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: because he is the leader of the defense and he's

481
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: a good portion of the leader for the entire ball club.

482
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: He has got all that experience under Kurt Signetti. He

483
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: has been one of the more vocal guys in regard

484
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: to how he goes about his business, communication on the field,

485
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: communication with his teammates, and again, the linebacking corps is

486
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: a thinner corps anyway. They've got three really good linebackers

487
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: in this ball club, Isaiah Jones being the third, along

488
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: with Elijah Hardy. But when you look at Indiana, if

489
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: they have a weakness, it would be at certain spots

490
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: depth wise, but other than that, you don't see anything,

491
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: and you certainly don't see it in the way they

492
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: go about their business on the field. They are methodical

493
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: in the sense of being ready to play, being focused,

494
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: how to play hard, physical, relentless, fast, efficient, just about

495
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: every term you could use from an adjective standpoint. This

496
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: team is just excellent at all of it. And buck

497
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: Snore has constantly said here in the last couple of

498
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: weeks he thinks that Indiana is the best team in

499
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: the country and he includes Ohio State in that mix.

500
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Now that's saying something, because the Buckeyes are really good

501
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: and they have been for a long time, and their

502
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: defense this year is spectacular. But I think Buckley believes that,

503
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: and I think Indiana fans o don't to believe it too,

504
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: because they have basically shown that in every game they

505
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: played that this team is for real.

506
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: Don It's so interesting to me. By the way, Kurtzignetti says,

507
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: Aidan Fisher is quote probable for Indiana's game coming up Saturday,

508
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: at least as of right now at Maryland. It's interesting

509
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: when you know, I look and I look each Sunday

510
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: evening and I read there's a national you know, a

511
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: group a panelists on ESPN that ranks where they believe

512
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 3: the college football playoff rankings would be if it were

513
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: to start right now, which is ludicrous because it doesn't

514
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: start right now right there's a lot of football to

515
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: be played, but it does get barometer as to the

516
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: perception of teams and what people think the respect level.

517
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting this week twelve panelists, seven

518
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: have Ohio state number one, five have Indiana number one.

519
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: So the difference is not near as far. The gap

520
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: is not as far as I think a lot of

521
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: people would believe, because Indiana has the best win on

522
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 3: the season, you know, winning at Oregon, and they just

523
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of weakness. Now, I wanted to

524
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: ask you about this. You know, Mendoza has been so good.

525
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: I think he's right now the best quarterback in the

526
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: country and maybe a Heisman front runner at that point.

527
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 3: Don in your opinion, when you look at the precision

528
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: in which he is able to deliver the football in

529
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: Indiana's passing game, is able to click. Is it quarterback

530
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: that can see and put the ball exactly where it

531
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: needs to be for his receivers or is it receivers

532
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: in notably Cooper and sarat who have been outstanding, that

533
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: are able to have the right route run to get

534
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: themselves right where they need to be. Or is it

535
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: the perfect marriage of both.

536
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: It's literally the perfect marriage of both. Because Fernando just

537
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: had an okay game on Curtay. He wasn't spectacular. I

538
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: mean he was when he threw those three touchdown passes,

539
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: but he had a fifteen for twenty two completion percentage

540
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: in that ball game, which is you know, and his parlace,

541
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: or at least in the parlance and what people think

542
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: about Fernando if he has missed more than three or

543
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: four passes in the ball game, everybody seems to say, well,

544
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: that was just not all that great performaich today. And

545
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: yet he was fifty for twenty two one hundred and

546
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards three touchdowns. He also had five rushes

547
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: in that ball game for forty five yards of a touchdown,

548
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: and then his brother came in. His brother came in

549
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. It did essentially the same kind

550
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: of things that he was doing. So all I can

551
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: tell you at this point is, and here's the one

552
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: thing you've got to know, this receiving corps is really special.

553
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: And E. J. Williams had a great game on Saturday.

554
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Elijah Surat and Omar Cooper were just very average in

555
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: regard to how many passes they caught and what was

556
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: accomplished with those passes. But it just tells you how

557
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: complete this football team is right now in the sense

558
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: of what they've got on the field. Not necessarily depth

559
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: wise at certain positions, but this is just a very

560
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: complete football team and you see it in both the

561
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: offensive side and the defensive side.

562
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: Don to kind of put a bow on football. Two questions.

563
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: You're number one, how many times did you practice saying

564
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: Niko's last name leading up to Saturday's game? And the

565
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: number two, I believe last week on the show, Jake

566
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: asked you about Fernando Mendoza and you said you hadn't

567
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: interviewed him yet, and you got to do that on Saturday.

568
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: Is there anything that we need to ask you to

569
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: speak into existence that you need for good fortune?

570
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: Well, the first thing you need to know is I

571
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: did practice Nico's last name about a million times and

572
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: still got it wrong a couple of times on Saturday.

573
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: So that wasn't a perfect performance by any stretching imagination.

574
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: Yamli Ava's how you say it, But I screwed that

575
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: up two or three times. And my co host on

576
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: the show, as far as the pre game halftime a

577
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: post game, John Harry, he got it wrong every time

578
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: he said it, So I know it wasn't It wasn't easy.

579
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: But that being said, and we'll be your second question.

580
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I said last week on the show, you

581
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: said something about not having the chance to interview for

582
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: Nando Mendoza yet, and you got to write that ship

583
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Is there anything else you need us to

584
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: ask you to put in a good fortune?

585
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Well, anything you say is probably going to work out

586
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: to my benefit just at this point in time, because

587
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: nothing seems to be going wrong for Indiana right now.

588
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: Don Can you just simply mention that you'd like to

589
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: see the Pacers get healthy and then that way boom,

590
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: we're we're back to square one here in a week.

591
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: Because I mean, you know, hey, well, I.

592
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: Can tell you this what the Pacers did to that

593
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: opening game of the season to get to double overtime

594
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: and missing basically about four different players, and then Nemar

595
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: gets hurt on top of that. I'll tell you what,

596
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: Rick Carlile is one of the best coaches in the NBA,

597
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: if not the best coach in the NBA with what

598
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: he's been able to accomplish with this Pacer organization. He's

599
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: always been a great coach. Everybody knew that. Obviously. I

600
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: had an NBA championship in Dallas, but that was close

601
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: to getting another one last year. It probably should have

602
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: happened if if the star guard doesn't, if Halliburton doesn't

603
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: get hurt, how events they win that game.

604
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: I just you know, okay, speaking of basketball by the

605
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: way and great coaches, you know, we don't know whether

606
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: Indiana has one now. And I agree on Rick Carlisle,

607
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: by the way and Darren Devreese. But what I like

608
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: is this, and I wanted you to be able to elaborate,

609
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 3: because Indiana wins an exhibition game over Baylor at Gambridge

610
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: Field House. But I like the fact that Indiana I

611
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 3: know nothing of their roster, and I think a lot

612
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: of people don't. I mean, I know Lamar Wilkerson is

613
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: a guy that's a volume scorer, and I know that

614
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 3: you know Tucker to Breeze is a guy that can

615
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: shoot and can score probably in waves as well. But

616
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: it seemed to me like at the very least Indiana

617
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: took care of the basketball and is going to be

618
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: relentless defensively. What other observations jumped out to you.

619
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: Well, the thing that does jump out of me is

620
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: how resilient they are getting down I think I told

621
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: you this before that I went to Puerto Rico with

622
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: them summer. I didn't broadcast any games. I was just

623
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: there to build relationships with the coaching staff and with

624
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: the players, just getting to know these guys because everybody

625
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: was brand new, including the staff with there, and de

626
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Breze is the new head coach. But what I saw

627
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: down there was exactly what I saw in that game

628
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday yesterday. They fight their butts off on defense.

629
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: They are really good defensively in that sense, and they

630
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: bought into defensive play. I think this team is talented.

631
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how talented, because they're going to come

632
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: up against teams in the ten, and as the season

633
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: goes along, they're going to have much more talent than

634
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: they do. But I just don't think they're going to

635
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: ever be eaten by anybody. I could be wrong about

636
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: that way way away from getting the season still a

637
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: week over a week and the real tests won't start

638
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: for a while. But the key with this basketball team

639
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: number one, they are really well coached. They're in debris

640
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: every place. He's bet. He's been success. I love his

641
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: demeanor on the sidelines, how he deals with players coming

642
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: in and out of ballgames. He's got disciplined. They are tough,

643
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: they are mentally tough, and they've proven that in three

644
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: of the games that I've seen now I've seen him

645
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: play four times. I saw him play Puerto Rico, which

646
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: they abolished. Then they played the same Servian team twice,

647
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: won both of those ball games, and now they've beat

648
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: a Baylor team. It's really a pretty good basketball team,

649
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: at least personnel wise, and everybody's finding themselves because both

650
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: of these rosters yesterday were brand new to their respective coaches.

651
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: They were all brand new guys. So in that sense,

652
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: all I can tell you at this point is I

653
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: love what I see in this basketball team. I love

654
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: how hard they play, and I think the fan base

655
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: is going to fall in love with him because they

656
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: are fighters. They will battle you right to the end,

657
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: and they've proven that in three ball games now, and.

658
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 3: I get the feeling that. Again, it's very early, but

659
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, I go back to in my brain works

660
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: weird some times in terms of being able to recall

661
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: something way too long ago. But if you look at

662
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: that group that Mike Davis had that went to the

663
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: Final Four with Kyle Hornsby and Dane Fife and Tom

664
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: Coverdale and Jared Odle, you always had a couple of

665
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 3: guys on the floor that could almost contagiously start hitting

666
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: threes in waves, right, And I think Indiana is going

667
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: to be a volume three point shooting team and there

668
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: are going to be games where that's going to be

669
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: massive for them, and then there are other games where

670
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 3: sometimes it just doesn't fall and that becomes contagious as well.

671
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: That to me is going to be interesting because I

672
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: do think they have some guys that can shoot the

673
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: basketball and I think he's going to give them the

674
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 3: green light to do that. But we shall see a

675
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 3: lot of basketball between you now in the end of

676
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: the year. Alabama A and M. Is when the Hoosiers

677
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: get things started. That is going to be a week

678
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: from Wednesday. Football at Maryland coming up on Saturday as well.

679
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 3: Don Fisher will be the voice for all of it.

680
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: Don appreciate the time as always, all right.

681
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Yet, thanks for having me, Jake, appreciate.

682
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: Don Fisher joining us on the Java House Peel and

683
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: poor guest line as the users again Alabama A and M. Man,

684
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: I might have to see if doctor White wants to

685
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 3: go to the game. Doctor White was the all time

686
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: I believe he was the all time leading scorer. Eugene White,

687
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: my high school principal, who of course went on to

688
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: become the superintendent of Washington Township in Ips the president

689
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 3: of Martin University. He was at the time of his graduation.

690
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 3: I believe he was the all time leading scorer at

691
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 3: Alabama A and M basketball history. He's in their Athletic

692
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. I know that we should go down

693
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: and watch that game coming up a week from Wednesday.

694
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: All right, my chap I'm going to join us about

695
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: fifteen from now talking about the Colts. And there was

696
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: one thing I think that was overlooked in terms of

697
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 3: a real positive yesterday and has nothing to do with

698
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, has nothing to do with the blowout victory.

699
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: I'll explain next little modernization of Schoolhouse Rock. I love

700
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: Dala Soul, I love Dyla soul man me myself and

701
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: I soul three feet high in rising and whenever you

702
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: got a song day La Soul unbelievab And I'm not

703
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: saying they didn't get proper due, but they're very underrated,

704
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: very underrated, PM Dawn, underrated, for what it's worth, one

705
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: underrated aspect of the Colts win yesterday, there was a

706
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: ton of love about yesterday. Matter of fact, Eddie Garrison,

707
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 3: I will put this trivia question to you. Okay, there's

708
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: only one nitpick I would have from the Colts.

709
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Oh the Colts specifically, Okay.

710
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: Only let me rephrase that, only one nitpick I have

711
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 3: of the Colts game yesterday. Okay.

712
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: Is it the fact that Tyler Warren did not get

713
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: a touchdown on National tight Ends Day?

714
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 3: No, good, good.

715
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 2: This is the fact that the Tennessee offense was moving

716
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: the ball down the field in the first half with

717
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: little to no resistance from the Colts defense.

718
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: No, but but good point, not it. No, You're not

719
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 3: wrong on either of those things. I mean, those are

720
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: fair critiques, but not what it. I was laying in

721
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: bed thinking about the game. Now, when were you laying

722
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 3: in bed, Jake three eight this morning? Okay, And I'm

723
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 3: staring at the ceiling and sugar plum fairies are going

724
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: through my head of the Michael Pittman touchdown and the

725
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor run and Daniel Jones making the right calls

726
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: and Shane Steichen after the game congratulating, you know, Chris

727
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 3: Lamans for playing solid, and carl Ers Gordon taking notes

728
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 3: and then high five in guys, and Grover Stewart on

729
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 3: the video board making a joke about the fact that

730
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: the kids that had to draw his picture made him

731
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 3: look like a giraffe, and you know, just fun all

732
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 3: the way around, and all of it's going through my mind.

733
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: And yet there was one thing where I was the Grench.

734
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: There was one thing where I was the Grench. Right,

735
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: trying to think here doesn't have to do with your

736
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: fantasy team doesn't because I mean, I think you're beating

737
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: me right now. And I saw mister Rice going, it's

738
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 3: not that okay, John a blank. Yesterday was perfect. Oh

739
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 3: the four to twenty five start. You got to get up,

740
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: do what you might do on a Sunday, whether you

741
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 3: want to go for a walk, take the dog out,

742
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: go look at the leaves in Brown County. Make sure

743
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: so to the Hobknob restaurant. Do want to be careful

744
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: because the wet leaves are particular dangerous. Go to the

745
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 3: Hobnob in Brown County. See the beautiful turn of the

746
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: leaves that's still open. Go to church open until mid November.

747
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: Go to church, et cetera. Right, any of it perfect,

748
00:41:53,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 3: perfect blue sky colors, leaves falling in crisp, beautiful apple, red,

749
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: golden hue, all of it nice. Early sixties or low

750
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 3: sixties to start the game dropping down in the mid fifties,

751
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 3: I mean it was football, man like. It was fall

752
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: autumn football weather, just perfect, just gorgeous. And I thought

753
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 3: to myself walking in, what are we gonna see here?

754
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 3: This is awesome, This is awesome. A later start, you

755
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 3: got a chance to still get things done. On a Sunday, gorgeous,

756
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 3: nice little breeze going. We're gonna see Jonathan Taylor running

757
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: along the sidelines. We're gonna see Pittman making an unbelievable catch.

758
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: We're gonna see Yatu Latu get in there and get

759
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: a half sad. I mean, we're gonna see it all.

760
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna see Daniel Jones's f Alex Pierce is down

761
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 2: there somewhere.

762
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 3: And what better way to do it than to get

763
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 3: together on a day like that and sit indoors. That

764
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: is the perfect day. If we're gonna spend a hut

765
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 3: thirty million additional dollars on a stadium with a retractable roof,

766
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: why in the world was it not open yesterday? But

767
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: I digress. The good news for the Colts is they

768
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: came out of that game relatively unscathed from an injury standpoint.

769
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: Anthony Gould had a knee they're gonna have to look

770
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: at and Daniel Jones keep an eye on this. I'm

771
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 3: curious of this. Late in the game, Daniel Jones did

772
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 3: have a hit where he did land awkwardly on the back.

773
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't land on the back of his head,

774
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 3: but the back of his head hit the turf pretty

775
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: hard and yes, seemingly okay. But sometimes when guys do

776
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: go into concussion protocol, those symptoms come on over the

777
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 3: course of the week, and that is something I think

778
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 3: that is going to be interesting to keep an eye on.

779
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: Josh Downs, he was one of those players.

780
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Downs and then remember Downs practiced, I think,

781
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: and then you know what I mean. That was Pierce.

782
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: He practiced, was coming back from the concut ession, practiced

783
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 2: and then suffered a set back and they ended up

784
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 2: missing another week.

785
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 3: This from Jeff with a j Hobknob is open until

786
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 3: November the second, so you got time still to go

787
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 3: in there, go down and enjoy it. Mike Chapel wxin

788
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: and CBS four joins us next and later we will

789
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 3: read for you some of your eight words summary of

790
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: the Colts through eight games and some texts as well.

791
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 3: Checking in on the text line at two three, nine

792
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 3: ten seventy. You can also always text me independently, because

793
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 3: I like sometimes I'll call people afterwards, especially if they

794
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 3: text me something and they're like, dude, you're moron, and

795
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 3: then I call and I'm like, Noah, you're not wrong.

796
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 3: I probably am Uh, my number is three one seven

797
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: five two three ninety two eighty eight. It's five two

798
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 3: three ninety two eight eight. The text line for the

799
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 3: station is three one seven two three nine ten seventy.

800
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 3: Like Chris who chimes in, I knew Quarry would complain

801
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: about the roof and was talking to my brother about it.

802
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: We landed on good teams benefit from perfect conditions. No

803
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: reason to bring variables into it. My two cents. Time

804
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 3: to let the one hundred and thirty million dollars add

805
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: on go. That's a lot of money, though it was

806
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 3: the thing to do at the time. Little reason to

807
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 3: open it and have the sun getting people's eyes. Okay,

808
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 3: this from Dispenser, as he calls himself meaning retired pharmacist. Yeah,

809
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: why was the roof closed four thirty start? The sun

810
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: was not an issue. It was the perfect day for

811
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: outdoor football. Oh yes, I was there. I do think

812
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 3: that the first I get it.

813
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 2: No, I was sure that's the conclusion on that person's

814
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: ain't being Dispenser.

815
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 3: Oh yes, it begins letter off for.

816
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: Being something I would be interested in.

817
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: The definitely, Well, it says no, Dispenser, and then in

818
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: parenthes it says I'm a retired pharmacist. Yeah, I know,

819
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: not the kind you're talking about, Eddie. Java House, Peel

830
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 3: it comes down to. Mike Chapel joins us now on

831
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 3: said guest line. He is with CBS four and WXI

832
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 3: in Fox fifty nine. Chap I mentioned this earlier. It

833
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 3: was one of those I think we've reached the point

834
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 3: and whoever would have guessed this at seven and one

835
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 3: where the Colts have a game and they win that

836
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 3: resoundingly and you walk away and go eah, oh hum.

837
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 3: They did what I thought they'd do, But nothing certainly

838
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 3: jumped out of me. Piman had a great catch, Taylor

839
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 3: had a great run. But I did think that they

840
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: were a little slow getting out of the gate at times.

841
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 3: Am I too critical?

842
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 9: Well, they score in the first three possessions. The first

843
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 9: one they mucked up with that with that throwback to

844
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 9: dueling and they settle on the for the field goal.

845
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 9: Then they had a couple of bad series in the

846
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 9: second quarter. But no, I think what your points accurate

847
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 9: is that they've gotten so efficient that when when they're

848
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 9: not efficient and think, hey, what's up? Well, you know

849
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 9: it's not supposed to be easy. It just isn't, you know,

850
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 9: the old thing. The other team's on scholarship too. This

851
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 9: is like more than that because these guys are getting

852
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 9: paid too. So, although I guess nowadays guys on scholarship

853
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 9: are getting paid as well. So, but I think I

854
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 9: go back to the Manning years and he'd go for

855
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 9: three hundred yards and free touchdowns and you think, God,

856
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 9: is that all you got was you're not feeling today,

857
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 9: but that that's really where you want to be as

858
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 9: a team as an offense to where And we always

859
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 9: kind of joke at Daniel Jones, is he never he

860
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 9: seldom talks about the good plays. He sort of indicates where,

861
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 9: you know, we left some things out there because then

862
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 9: and that's probably a good way to do it, to

863
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 9: be more critical instead of saying, hey, we were pretty good.

864
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 9: You know, they're scoring on like sixty of their possessions,

865
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 9: which is ridiculous getting points. So but that that's where

866
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 9: we are. And I've said from the start, and I'm

867
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 9: going to say it is this is sustainable because they're

868
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 9: not doing anything crazy. They're just executing. They're not turning

869
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 9: them all over. This is six games, six games without

870
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 9: a turnover. But you can say, yeah, Taylor's being special,

871
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 9: but he's still not had that game. You know, twenty

872
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 9: two carries for two hundred and thirty yards. He hits

873
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 9: you with like two shot plays a game he had

874
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 9: one hundred and fifty three yards and two touchdowns. He

875
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 9: carried about twelve times. That's ridiculous. So that's why I

876
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 9: like what they're doing. And another I just don't have

877
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 9: the time to look it up. But this is the

878
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 9: number one offense in yards, the number one offense in points,

879
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 9: and they've yet to have a receiver with the one

880
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 9: hundred yards. I just think that's probably this is probably

881
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 9: the first time since sometime through the first eight games

882
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 9: that's been the case. I just don't have the time

883
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 9: to look it up because it would take too long

884
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 9: for one little neat stat. But when you got everybody

885
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 9: doing something well, your expectations rise. And that's why I

886
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 9: think this part is sustainable. The offense is sustainable.

887
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 3: Chap two part question here, Okay, number one, who is

888
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 3: the Colt's best offensive.

889
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: Player Jonathan Taylor?

890
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 3: Okay, who is the Colts most valuable offensive player?

891
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones.

892
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 9: I'm I'm one of those guys that that I do

893
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 9: believe it's the MVP generally is the quarterback. And I'm

894
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 9: not opposed to that Offensive Player of the year because

895
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 9: I think you can see that's this is kind of

896
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 9: like in baseball to where I don't think you can

897
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 9: have an MVP on a team, a losing team or

898
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 9: a team that doesn't get make the playoffs. You know,

899
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 9: how valuable were you? You know, that's why there needs

900
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 9: to be an outstanding You can be the best player

901
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 9: in the league on a crappy team.

902
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 3: By the way, Andre Dawson eighty seven Cubs an MVP

903
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 3: last place team, and I think that was the last

904
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 3: time that happened.

905
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 9: I just so you take it away and what they

906
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 9: were last place team. Yeah, so that's the argument. That's

907
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 9: the argument, so I and again it would really change things.

908
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 9: But take take one of those players away, Jonathan Taylor

909
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 9: or Daniel Jones, which would have the most impact moving forward,

910
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 9: correct quarterback and that's not you know, again, Tata's on

911
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 9: pace for eighteen hundred yards and I don't know, twenty

912
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 9: touchdowns and all that stuff. But I think Stiken could

913
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 9: could find a way to manufacture a run game that

914
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 9: wouldn't even remotely do what this one's doing. I'm not

915
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 9: saying that at all, but I just I just have

916
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 9: a hard time when when the quarterback has the ball

917
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 9: in his hands every play and he's playing again, Jones

918
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 9: isn't playing lights out, He's playing really really well. But

919
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 9: I just I'm that I'm one of those guys and

920
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 9: I'll go to my grave that unless there's not another player,

921
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 9: another quarterback that's doing what he's doing. I just think

922
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 9: it's a QB award because of because of a lot

923
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 9: of things. And that's why I'm totally in favor of

924
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 9: Offensive Player of the Year. I should have I thought

925
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 9: he should have got it in It was a twenty one,

926
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:09,399
Speaker 9: and I think the receiver got it. Uh, Cooper cap

927
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 9: was it? That's right, Yeah, had the triple crown in receiving,

928
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 9: which is great, but I thought Taylor did. Everybody's such

929
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 9: a good discussion, but that's where we are.

930
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 3: What player Mike Chapel is our guest on the Joba

931
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: House peeling poor guest line. What offensive player has most

932
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 3: benefited from Daniel Jones.

933
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 9: Oh, Michael Pittman maybe, Uh, he's already matched his career

934
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 9: high and uh touchdowns. Uh yeah, probably probably him. I'd

935
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 9: say Tyler Warren, but he now Michael Pittman. I think

936
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 9: the way that that that Jones has gained a trust

937
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 9: that the touchdown on by the left pylon, that's trust,

938
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 9: that's total trust that that Pittman's gonna either make the catch,

939
00:52:58,640 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 9: which was one of.

940
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: The chap What's interesting about that is I think you

941
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: could also make the I don't disagree with you, by

942
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: the way, but I think you could also What's an

943
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 3: what's fascinating to watch is that, yes, you know, Daniel

944
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 3: Jones has to trust Pittman to before he makes that

945
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 3: throw right and puts you know, but at the same time.

946
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 3: At the same time, the receivers to an extent, I

947
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: know that by definition their job is to run the

948
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 3: perfect route every time. I get that right, But there

949
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 3: has to be a trust in the quarterback as well

950
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: that if I'm going to go out there and I'm

951
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 3: going to run this perfect route and whatever else and

952
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to run, the ball is going to be there,

953
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: gosh darn it. And we've seen that in this town

954
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 3: with other quarterbacks. But it feels like there is a

955
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 3: and I mean this has no disrespect to you know,

956
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 3: whether we're talking about Sam Ellinger or Anthony Richardson or

957
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 3: guys that we have seen of late. It just feels

958
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: like this receiving corps really he is starting to grow

959
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 3: an appreciation and respect level for Daniel Jones and that

960
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 3: he has the attention of his huddle.

961
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, And we talked about the trust in the receiver quarterback,

962
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 9: the trust that he had on that fifty yard ball

963
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 9: to Pierce, where over the last fifteen yards of the route,

964
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 9: pierces Pierce's boxing the dB out like you see in

965
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 9: a rebound, and then that he came down with the ball.

966
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 9: These guys are awful good at fifty to fifty balls

967
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 9: and then you get times where Kyler Warren is wide

968
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 9: the hell open. It's amazing how they scheme him open.

969
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 9: But that's why it's working. And it's nothing that's extraordinary

970
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 9: in what they're doing other than executing. That's why I

971
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 9: say what I like about it. It should sustain itself

972
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 9: because either Jonathan Taylor Steiken made a good no the

973
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 9: other day when he was talking whether it is that

974
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 9: someone asked about the way Jonathan Taylor's going off in

975
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 9: the second half and he's the average on like six

976
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 9: or seven yards of carry in the second half. And

977
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 9: that's because, as it turns out, through seven games, they

978
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 9: had thrown the ball like sixty percent of the time

979
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 9: in the first half and then it flipped in the

980
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 9: second half. And whether that's how they want to remember

981
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 9: his his whole thing is throw to score a run

982
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 9: to win. And was it the first drive or second

983
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 9: drive where they they the first drive where Taylor had

984
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 9: a twelve yard run and then there were like nine.

985
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 3: Passes they never went back to him right in that right, yep.

986
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 9: Right, And you're thinking, well, until that's stupid played up Doolan.

987
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 9: That just didn't work. But it just shows you that

988
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 9: they've got a good feel for what's working, and at

989
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 9: some point they're going to go back to Taylor and

990
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 9: the Great Backs. Whether it's Taylor, I just remember Barry

991
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 9: Sanders all the time, where you hold him and you

992
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 9: hold him and hold him, then he goes for sixty

993
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 9: on you and you thought you did a pretty good

994
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 9: job until you know it's like, well we held him

995
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 9: for fifty yards on twelve carries. What about the end

996
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 9: of three carries? So that's what Taylor's giving him. He's

997
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 9: only averaging like eighteen carries a game, which is really

998
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 9: a low number.

999
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: It's normal.

1000
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,879
Speaker 9: I thought he'd be like at twenty one twenty two,

1001
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 9: but they haven't needed to. And we're going to see

1002
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 9: the schedule gets tougher. We've said this all loong, the

1003
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 9: schedule gets tougher now. I thought Berlin would be a

1004
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 9: really toughest game with Atlanta, but I can't figure Atlanta out.

1005
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Atlanta to me, chap and obviously they got Pittsburgh

1006
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 3: between now and then, right. We saw the Steelers last

1007
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 3: night and the Steelers are very susceptible. But Atlanta to me,

1008
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 3: and I bring that up because you're right, I mean

1009
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 3: going over to Germany and playing Atlanta. The Falcons are

1010
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 3: intriguing because I think defensively they're pretty sound.

1011
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 5: Now.

1012
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like I'm sitting here watching quarter

1013
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 3: by quarter of Falcon football. But if there's an area

1014
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 3: for Atlanta that can present a little bit of an

1015
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 3: eyebrow raise, it would be their defense from what I've seen.

1016
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm wrong there right.

1017
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 9: Right, Well, and then again you get I'm not I'm

1018
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 9: not that sold on Pittsburgh. I'm just not. But but

1019
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 9: these guys haven't won in Pittsburgh since Peyton and dominant Croudes.

1020
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: I think it was in.

1021
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 9: Whatever seven or eight or whatever it was. But then

1022
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,959
Speaker 9: you then after the bye you go to Kansas City.

1023
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 9: That's gonna tell you a time. And then you're home

1024
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 9: with I think it's home with h with Houston, so

1025
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 9: it gets tougher. You got Seattle, you got you got

1026
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 9: the Niners, who I'm not sure how good they are.

1027
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 9: So that's why this this was so critical to get out.

1028
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 9: I thought they'd go six and two. I'm not gonna

1029
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 9: put banging my horn on that, but seven and one, Uh,

1030
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 9: that's just that's really sets you up. If they've almost

1031
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 9: got the over in Vegas. I think it was eight

1032
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 9: and a half. Uh So it's really kind of fun

1033
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,920
Speaker 9: to see and the expectations will grow, which is a

1034
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 9: good thing. The past three or four years where they've

1035
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 9: just not gotten things down in the fan base is po.

1036
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 9: That's a good thing. Your fan base should demand more

1037
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 9: and demand playoffs and all this stuff, and when you

1038
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 9: don't get there, they should be mad at you.

1039
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 3: I think the fan base should be upset. Yesterday the

1040
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 3: roof was closed your thoughts.

1041
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, but this is the fan base and there it

1042
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 9: was one of it was one of those borderline games

1043
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 9: where it was a little chili in the don't.

1044
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 3: Like chili, a little chili it was.

1045
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 5: It was, Hey, was.

1046
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 9: Chilling the press s bot chilling the press spot.

1047
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 3: You know that Java House edit? You know they got

1048
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 3: hot Coco on the Java House peeling forse right, you

1049
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 3: can get that twenty five percent off jap. When you

1050
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 3: look at Daniel Jones and I was thinking about this

1051
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 3: yesterday and maybe the way I word this is going

1052
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 3: to come off convoluted when when Shane Stikeen and the

1053
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 3: way that this symbiotic relationship he's got going with Daniel

1054
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: Jones and I keep going back to it and wondering this,

1055
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 3: do you believe that Daniel Jones And it's a moot

1056
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: point now because he's playing at a high level, But

1057
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 3: if you go back now and you try to put

1058
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 3: the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together retroactively and see

1059
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 3: how it all makes sense. Do you think that Shane

1060
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 3: Stiken selected Daniel Jones as his starter because he felt

1061
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 3: that eventually that was going to lead to the to

1062
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 3: the trust from most teammates, from a higher number of teammates,

1063
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 3: or simply because it's who Shane Steike and trusted.

1064
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 9: It's who Shane Styke and trusted. And then because I

1065
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 9: really believe if you'd taken a poll in training camp

1066
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 9: or whatever, this team was still very much behind Richardson.

1067
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 9: I really believe that the fan base was I can

1068
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 9: s remember like the first practice where Jones takes the

1069
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 9: first snaps and then they bring Jones or they bring

1070
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 9: rich it's an end for that the next series and

1071
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 9: the fans go crazy and you're thinking, oh, really, so

1072
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 9: I this this is a perfect match two obsessive people

1073
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 9: at their positions, at their jobs, which which is what

1074
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 9: you want? I mean, Peyton Manning was totally totally obsessed

1075
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 9: with the job and with Tom and Tom Moore and

1076
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 9: Howard and all those guys are that's what it takes.

1077
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 9: And I would like to know to give Shane Stakeen

1078
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 9: some truth for him and find out when he knew

1079
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 9: that Daniel Jones was the guy. And I'm not buying

1080
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 9: in the least it was it was late August. I

1081
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 9: don't believe that at all. I think it was much

1082
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 9: much earlier to where he saw what Jones had in him.

1083
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 9: And I think he really believed that that Jones was

1084
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 9: done dirty by the Giants organization with how they didn't

1085
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 9: do things around him the right way. I would love

1086
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 9: to know when stych and decided, boy, this guy, we

1087
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 9: can do things. Go back and look at go back

1088
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 9: and look at what Styken did with Gardner Minshew. They

1089
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 9: came within like one pass of winning the AFC South

1090
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 9: And has has Minshew done anything since then?

1091
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 3: No.

1092
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 9: So I think that he got the absolute most out

1093
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 9: of Minshew and got him like fifteen million dollars from

1094
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 9: the Raiders, which good, good for Minshew. But I just

1095
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 9: think that this was a perfect match and some at

1096
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 9: some point early in the process, whatever it was, April

1097
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 9: Maje you whatever. I think Shane really knew that that

1098
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 9: Jones was the guy now playing at this level. I

1099
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 9: don't know. Again, I don't think he's playing off the charts.

1100
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 9: He's but he's playing darn good.

1101
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: You know, the.

1102
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 9: Seven hundred yard ratings and the first eight games and

1103
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 9: all that stuff. I think was he got three interceptions?

1104
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

1105
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 9: I think that that that speaks volumes to how when.

1106
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean right, they take care of the football, right,

1107
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean that that's that is such a huge part

1108
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 3: of it, chap Right.

1109
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 9: And at the end of the season, if you look

1110
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,959
Speaker 9: at if you look at the takeaway giveaway, the top

1111
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 9: five teams are almost always playoffs maybe division winners, and

1112
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 9: the bottom five teams are awful. So it is the

1113
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 9: one the most significant, you know, stat in wins and

1114
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 9: losses as far as getting to the bottom line. But

1115
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 9: six games, I think the most they've had here maybe

1116
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 9: in the in the air is like seven, uh in

1117
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 9: a season because things, because things happen. You get tip balls,

1118
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 9: you get fumbles, you get you get a guy dropping

1119
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 9: the ball at the at the goal line. So it's

1120
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 9: pretty impressive.

1121
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 3: Mike Chapel is my guest from CBS Forte on Fox

1122
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 3: fifty nine. He is the Dean of writers when it

1123
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 3: comes to covering the Colts. He's on the Java House

1124
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 3: peeling poor guest line Chap Whin. When you assess the

1125
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 3: Colts right now, and we've all talked about it, if

1126
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 3: they're going to get over the hump, if they're going

1127
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 3: to push in, one would assume that that means they're

1128
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 3: going to make a trade before the deadline for defensive help,

1129
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 3: whether that be pass rush or defensive backfield six and

1130
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 3: one half dozen in the other Perhaps question I have

1131
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 3: for you is this fine, and I think we've all

1132
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 3: accepted the fact that Chris Ballard is we would assume

1133
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 3: going to make some sort of a move. What assets

1134
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: do they have to give up? What goes on its

1135
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 3: way out to get the Colts help back.

1136
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 9: In just draft picks. I don't see them having give

1137
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 9: a player you normally see.

1138
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 3: He loves and covets, he loves draft capital, though we

1139
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 3: have part with it.

1140
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I understand it. I understand it. But when you're

1141
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 9: sitting here at seven and one and things I've really got,

1142
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 9: I don't believe in my heart that Chris Dowd thought

1143
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 9: they'd be seven and one right now. He thought they'd

1144
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 9: be good. He really did, But I would question if

1145
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 9: Chris said, yeah, Mike, I thought we'd go seven and one,

1146
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 9: I say, I'm not sure.

1147
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:07,479
Speaker 1: Sure.

1148
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 9: So I think it does alter your approach to go

1149
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 9: back and look at how he's handled this season. He's

1150
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 9: never given out sixty million dollar contracts to a safety

1151
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 9: in a corner and given Daniel Jones fourteen million because

1152
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 9: they knew that they had holes to fill and what

1153
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 9: they'd done in the past largely hadn't been enough, although

1154
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 9: the quarterback things what held him back. But I just

1155
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 9: think this is this will be a situation where everyone

1156
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 9: in that building will agree that we need I'd trade

1157
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 9: for two points. I'd trade for a corner and an

1158
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 9: edge rusher. If I can only get one, I'd take

1159
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 9: a corner. And I'm always an edge rush guy because

1160
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 9: I think an ed rush guy can do so much.

1161
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 9: But they are so down the depth chart in corner.

1162
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 9: I know they're going to get Mooney Ward back in

1163
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 9: a couple of weeks, and I know they're going to

1164
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 9: get Jaylen Jones back, perhaps this week, but I just

1165
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 9: think they need help a corner, and I just I

1166
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 9: just don't think they'll need to give a player. It'll

1167
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 9: be a fifth or sixth round pick or whatever, and

1168
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 9: and I'm okay with that. It's a lesser level of

1169
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 9: giving up a what was it, the thirteenth pick to

1170
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 9: get the Forest Buckner right back in Corny twenty. I'll

1171
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 9: do that every day if I can get a player

1172
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 9: that's been what Buck's been, and if I can get somebody,

1173
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 9: maybe it's somebody that's hit on his rookie.

1174
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Not to cut you off there, Buckner. I want to

1175
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 3: add onto this though. It's not even just that the

1176
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 3: Forest Buckner is a great player, and he has been

1177
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 3: a great player, but the Forest Buckner's also and you

1178
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 3: and I aren't around it to that level. But by

1179
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 3: all account, this guy is exactly from a locker room

1180
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 3: and film room and just over and huddle presence. He

1181
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 3: has been every thing you would want.

1182
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 9: When you hear guy, when you hear him, say, uh,

1183
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 9: he's a horseshoe guy. You know they overuse it, but

1184
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 9: you know, I think of three or four players, and

1185
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 9: he's one. He and Quenton people like that. Those are

1186
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 9: the guys that are foundational players. They are and it's

1187
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 9: the entire package. It's leadership, it's it's how they interact

1188
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 9: with the community. Uh but the locker room and then

1189
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 9: they're during good players. I still am. I wonder how

1190
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 9: the fourth Buckler would be viewed nationally if he had

1191
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 9: been with Kansas City or Baltimore or Buffalo and been

1192
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 9: a playoff guy throughout his career instead of, you know,

1193
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 9: a super duper player on a team that's not quite

1194
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 9: good enough. So I I credit him as much as

1195
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 9: possible for being loyal to Indianapolis, and maybe his family

1196
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 9: just loves it. I don't know, he was gonna get

1197
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 9: paid wherever he went, so I just I really enjoy

1198
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 9: seeing him get success and teens trying to block him

1199
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 9: and he just runs through him and smothers a quarterback.

1200
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 9: So I think he I probably enjoyed this as much

1201
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 9: for him and Quinton as anybody because I know what

1202
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 9: they mean to the franchise and I know what they

1203
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,439
Speaker 9: put into it, and good for them, Mike.

1204
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 2: The Cults have had a long lineage of stellar running backs,

1205
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 2: you know, with Eric Diurkerson, Marshall Falk and now with

1206
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, is Taylor on pace and Andrew James for

1207
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: that matter, is Taylor on pace to become the best

1208
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 2: running back in franchise history with the way he's been

1209
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 2: performing in his sixty year.

1210
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1211
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 9: Probably the only going to keep him from setting the

1212
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 9: franchise rushing record is is enough years? Is he better

1213
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 9: an Edgar? And gosh, they're different players. It's hard to put.

1214
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 9: I wouldn't put Dickerson and Balka there because they had

1215
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 9: so much of their success elsewhere.

1216
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: But he and Edge.

1217
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 9: What's really interesting is he's one rushing touchdown away from

1218
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 9: Edrin's career record. I think he Edus got sixty four

1219
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 9: and he's got in JT's got sixty three. Edge played

1220
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 9: quite a bit more games than JT did, the best

1221
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 9: running back ever. That's good. This would be a really

1222
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 9: good discussion. Michael Pittman said, Yeah, he's done a projector

1223
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 9: or a trajectory for the Hall of Fame. And I

1224
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 9: didn't I didn't say, you know, hold on a minute,

1225
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 9: because you've got to do it. Five six seven years

1226
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 9: of this a fifteen hundred Edgron had four seasons of

1227
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 9: fifteen hundred yards and Taylor will have had, you know,

1228
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 9: this keeps going two extraordinary season. It takes more than

1229
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 9: that to get into Hall of Fame. But that does

1230
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 9: shouldn't diminish at all what he's doing so best. Ever,

1231
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 9: that will be an interesting quest ruction in a couple

1232
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 9: of years if Taylor is still here, because do you

1233
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 9: re sign him when his contracts up? I don't know.

1234
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 9: It'll be tough.

1235
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 3: It'll be tough, yeah, the you know, Taylor has more

1236
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 3: diversified himself though to me, right in terms of running

1237
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 3: the football, you know, he's up there the best of

1238
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 3: anybody that's coming along through here. Probably. But we've talked

1239
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 3: about this a lot, but you know, Edrin James was

1240
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 3: just such a good blitz blocker. And you know, Taylor's

1241
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 3: done a better job out of the backfield with receiving

1242
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 3: the ball obviously, right, he has really diversified his skill set.

1243
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 3: But Edrin James seemingly just had all that right out

1244
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 3: of the womb. It was like boom go.

1245
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 9: You know, he said at Miami he was told that

1246
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 9: if you can't pass protect, you can't play. And I

1247
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:53,719
Speaker 9: still think Edrin is the best pass protector I've seen

1248
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 9: here as a running back. Faulk was close, but Edrin

1249
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 9: he just he just stuck his face into some guys

1250
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 9: do it because they have to. He did it because

1251
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 9: he I mean, he was good at it and he

1252
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 9: realized that was part of his job. He wasn't quite

1253
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 9: the receiver that Taylor is because he was not here

1254
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 9: enough in the offseason to where they worked on it

1255
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 9: that much. But boy Edge Edge was so fun to

1256
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 9: watch and three hundred and seventy three hundred eighty carries.

1257
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 9: He personified the one back offense because he was the

1258
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 9: one back. But Taylor, you know, it's funny because yesterday

1259
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 9: was the eighty yar touchdown. That's not as long as run.

1260
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 9: He had an eighty three yarder in Houston in twenty

1261
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 9: twenty one, and a was that he didn't score on.

1262
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 9: So it's it's just amazing what Taylor can do. And

1263
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 9: he's only after eight games. So I hope he, you know,

1264
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 9: knock on what. I hope he stays healthy and I'd

1265
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 9: like to see if he can do what he did

1266
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty one.

1267
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 3: Jab, do we see a trade? If you had to guess,

1268
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 3: are we going to see a trade?

1269
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: Yes?

1270
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 9: In my mind, the question is is it one or two?

1271
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 9: I just think and maybe it's I don't know, I

1272
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 9: don't know which one is easier. It's going to be

1273
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 9: easier to get. You know, it's got to be a

1274
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 9: team that's that's not in the playoffs. Hunt Now, Cincinnati,

1275
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 9: they've got a couple of players I would assume Hendrickson.

1276
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 9: I've never considered him a possibility just because of his contract,

1277
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 9: But Miami's got a couple of pass rushers. Jalen Phillips

1278
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 9: I think is the one he might work because he's

1279
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 9: got an okay contract, a couple of Cincinnati he's got

1280
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 9: a couple of guys i'd be interested in, and they're

1281
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 9: not going anywhere. They they keep waiting for Joe Burrow

1282
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:47,640
Speaker 9: to come back, and it's gonna be too late by then.

1283
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 9: So I think there'll be one, maybe two trades before

1284
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 9: what the is it next Tuesday or next Wednesday, whatever

1285
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:56,520
Speaker 9: it is the fourth.

1286
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 3: It's a week from tomorrow, Yeah, week from tomorrow.

1287
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: Right right.

1288
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 9: It just there's too many reasons to not do it,

1289
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 9: and with trades, it doesn't it doesn't normally take a

1290
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 9: monster draft pick. It takes a third day draft pick.

1291
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 9: So in this situation, certainly you needed to do it.

1292
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 9: I think they will do it.

1293
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 3: All right, We'll see what happens. Chap I know you

1294
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,839
Speaker 3: guys will be covered all of it. Wxin and CBS

1295
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 3: four appreciate the time as always, you guys be well,

1296
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 3: all right, Mike Chapel joining us on the Java House

1297
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 3: Peel and poor guest line. We come back Matt Berdan

1298
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 3: by the way, about thirty minutes from now. But something

1299
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 3: that happened last night in Pittsburgh that there's more and

1300
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 3: more chatter about, and it includes here in Indianapolis, and

1301
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 3: I've got my own thoughts on who's to blame next.

1302
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 3: What I was reading the texts that come into the show.

1303
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 3: Thank you to those that text it, even if you

1304
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 3: want to send a text that you like. There was

1305
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 3: one person that was texting like every day. I actually

1306
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 3: kind of funny. That was like I can't believe he's

1307
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,839
Speaker 3: he still has a job.

1308
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: And.

1309
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 3: So I I'd like message back and was like, hey,

1310
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 3: I get it, you know whatever, And I can't believe

1311
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 3: you'd respond to me. Well yeah, I mean that's the

1312
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 3: whole idea of interaction here, right, do.

1313
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 2: You offer to uh watch him work for a day

1314
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 2: and criticize him for today.

1315
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 3: Listen, it comes with the territory. I totally understand it.

1316
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 3: We have a lot of with this job, you know, Eddie,

1317
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 3: it's funny you mentioned that though, honestly, because I've thought

1318
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 3: about this. Our job is to talk about sports, to

1319
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 3: entertain and educate, educating, entertain Yeah, and to opine about sports.

1320
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 3: And oftentimes in doing that huh you like that word,

1321
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 3: don't you api do? But to to offer perspective on

1322
01:13:55,720 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 3: sports oftentimes means critiquing the performance either of players or

1323
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: coaches or general managers, et cetera. And while yes, I

1324
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 3: would love to come on here every day and just

1325
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 3: be like a cheerleader for it all, the reality is

1326
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 3: that people you go into a sports bar and people

1327
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 3: are sitting there talking about sports, which is what I

1328
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 3: like to think of as this show is just men

1329
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 3: women sitting around talking sports, right, And so in that capacity,

1330
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 3: it is only fair if if for three hours a day,

1331
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 3: I sit here and I talk about a decision made

1332
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 3: by Chris Ballard that I disagree with, or a coaching

1333
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 3: strategy of Rick Carlisle that I thought was the wrong one,

1334
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 3: or you know, Purdue football made this mistake with this

1335
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 3: player or whatever it may be. Okay, all of that,

1336
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 3: then it is only fair that the same could be

1337
01:14:54,280 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 3: thrown back at me. It would be completely hypocritical for

1338
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 3: me to sit here and spend three hours being a

1339
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 3: critique of other people's performance and then getting overly sensitive

1340
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 3: to their critique of mine. So I mean, I'm there

1341
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 3: for it now. Oftentimes more often than not, if I

1342
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 3: run into somebody. Yesterday, I was at the grocery store

1343
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 3: and the woman next to me was wearing a Bengals

1344
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 3: sweatshirt and I said, man, rough day to be a

1345
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 3: Bengals fan, and she said, oh, I know, you know

1346
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 3: we are at the game today. And we talked for

1347
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 3: just a few minutes, and then a couple of miles later,

1348
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 3: she says, by the way, am I getting hear you

1349
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 3: talking about that on the radio tomorrow? And I said, well,

1350
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 3: I whether I'll be talking about it, whether or not

1351
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 3: you hear it is I guess up to you. And

1352
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 3: she laughed and said, well I recognized your voice, which

1353
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 3: was both flattering and also it always surprises me. But

1354
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 3: I said to.

1355
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,799
Speaker 2: Her, way she found a listener? Do we have a number?

1356
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 3: Told me mostly used to listen when I was in

1357
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 3: the morning show, and now her husband avid listener in.

1358
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 1: The day show.

1359
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 3: Okay, so I don't think we got to thirty four

1360
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 3: and a half on that but Ariel was her name.

1361
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,479
Speaker 3: Very nice woman and anyway, I said to her what

1362
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 3: I always say to people, tell me what you don't

1363
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,640
Speaker 3: like about the show. You know what I mean, Like,

1364
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 3: I want to know what areas you think that we

1365
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:20,719
Speaker 3: could do like better in that area? You say more, Eddie.

1366
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 3: Everyone says that, including Nick, who just said, mister Garrison

1367
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 3: is really the perfect sidekick for you, Jake, I thought

1368
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 3: he met Greg. So here's the thing. As I was

1369
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 3: watching the Steelers game yesterday and someone pointed this out

1370
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 3: that when they were watching the game, I'll read it

1371
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 3: to you right here on the text line, Jake, I've

1372
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 3: been a season ticket holder since the seventies. I assume

1373
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 3: this is someone from Pittsburgh because it's a Pittsburgh number.

1374
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 3: We've watched a steady decline in the fans at home games,

1375
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 3: and all time low last night was that someone had

1376
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 3: placed a Green Bay Packers sign over the Steeler Country

1377
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 3: sign that is behind the goalposts. I don't blame the

1378
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packer fan, but to allow that to stay

1379
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 3: up through the entire game just tells you about the

1380
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 3: fans in Pittsburgh. Here is the reality. This is an

1381
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 3: increased thing everywhere. I'll go back to when the Colts

1382
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 3: hosted their very first playoff game, the very first time

1383
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts hosted a playoff game, not the Colts,

1384
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 3: but the Indianapolis Colts, the first ever NFL playoff game

1385
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 3: in the city of Indianapolis. Now, the first time the

1386
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 3: Colts went to the playoffs was eighty seven they went

1387
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 3: to Cleveland, but the first time they hosted was in

1388
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 3: two thousand. They played the Tennessee Titans, the famous game

1389
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 3: where Eddie George ran away and looked up at the

1390
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 3: video board the JumboTron and later admitted that he looked

1391
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 3: up while he was running to see where the defense

1392
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:59,560
Speaker 3: was in comparison to him behind him. That game, afterwards

1393
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 3: is when bil Opullion made a public point of his

1394
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 3: displeasure of the number of Titans fans that were in

1395
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 3: the building. And at the time, I thought to myself,

1396
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,600
Speaker 3: that's true, but you drafted Peyton Manning. And when you

1397
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 3: drafted Peyton Manning, you set up Colts ticket offices in Knoxville, Nashville,

1398
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 3: and Chattanooga, Tennessee. In Tennessee, people can buy Colts tickets.

1399
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 3: So is it possible that somebody who had bought Colts

1400
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 3: tickets to watch Peyton Manning. Then the Titans get into

1401
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,839
Speaker 3: the playoffs and they're like, you know what, my neighbor's

1402
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 3: a huge Titans fan. He's going to give me five

1403
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 3: hundred bucks with these tickets. Boom, I'll watch on TV.

1404
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 3: I understand the frustration people have of visiting teams coming

1405
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 3: into a stadium. I totally get it. A year ago,

1406
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was very bizarre that they had all

1407
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 3: the security at the Lucas Oil Stadium wearing orange shirts

1408
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,839
Speaker 3: and blue pants when the Bears were in town, for example.

1409
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 3: Very odd to me. But there are certain fan bases

1410
01:18:57,240 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 3: that travel, not even that they travel, but they they

1411
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 3: are national brands that have fans in an area that

1412
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 3: don't normally get to go see it. There are fans

1413
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 3: of the Dallas Cowboys that probably have never been to

1414
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,679
Speaker 3: Dallas in their life. There are fans of the Green

1415
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 3: Bay Packers because of the national branding of it, that

1416
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 3: have never been to Wisconsin. And there are fans of

1417
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers the same. But for all of these franchises. Now,

1418
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,959
Speaker 3: if you want right now to go to the Steelers

1419
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 3: game in Pittsburgh coming up Sunday to watch the Colts.

1420
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 3: So the Colts game in Pittsburgh, if you want to

1421
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 3: go to that game, and that's a one o'clock start,

1422
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 3: is that right, Eddie on Sunday? Yes, if you want

1423
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 3: to go to that game, you can go right now

1424
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 3: to Steelers dot com and pick your seat anywhere in

1425
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 3: the place. And there are tickets available on the Steelers' website.

1426
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 3: And then on the website when you click on buy

1427
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 3: tickets and you see all the tickets available and you

1428
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 3: click on it, it says this is an official ticket Master

1429
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 3: resale option. The day and the second and I get it.

1430
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 3: But the the day that NFL franchises linked in business partnership,

1431
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 3: and I love Ticketmaster and stub hubbing all this. I

1432
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 3: love it. I love the option. I'm somebody that loves

1433
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 3: going to games, and I love the security. I went

1434
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 3: to a concert in England and had to use the

1435
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 3: British version, the British version of stub Hub or one

1436
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 3: of them, and it was great and bought the tickets

1437
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 3: Boom sent to my phone, good to go. Love it.

1438
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 3: I love the option. I'm not here to put poo

1439
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 3: it at all. But the second that these teams officially

1440
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 3: from a business standpoint, partnered with them, then you can't

1441
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 3: come crying to me about people that are coming in

1442
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,480
Speaker 3: the building that are not your regular season ticket holders.

1443
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 3: I bought on your website. I went right to Steelers

1444
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 3: dot com and bought tickets as a Colts fan. And

1445
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 3: guess what, I bought them through a third party app

1446
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 3: that you partnered with and that you get are getting

1447
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 3: part of the kickbacks for.

1448
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 2: There you go, you know, Jake, Oftentimes I hear about

1449
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 2: this with you know, Pacer fans, and you know, they

1450
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 2: have a select season ticket package they do like ten

1451
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:05,799
Speaker 2: games or whatever, half a season, full season or whatnot,

1452
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,759
Speaker 2: and they'll sell like the tickets to those big games

1453
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 2: like the Lakers, the Warriors, etc. The big teams that

1454
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 2: garner a lot of interest because it helps pay back

1455
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 2: the cost of the season ticket price itself. And with

1456
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:21,839
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers making his return, or with Aaron Rodgers facing

1457
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 2: his former team for the first time since he departed

1458
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 2: with Green Bay, I'm sure the ticket price was through

1459
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 2: the roof. And so that Steelers fan of it was

1460
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 2: a season ticket holder, knew that there was probably a

1461
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 2: Packers fan out there that would be willing to pay,

1462
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 2: you know whatever, the two hundred three hundred four hundred

1463
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 2: dollars for those said tickets. The next thing, you know, boom,

1464
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 2: there you go. You've got, you know, a quarter to

1465
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 2: a half of your season ticket pay for the season

1466
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 2: paid off. You just made that money back a little bit.

1467
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 3: Listen, I Clemson. I bought Clemson season tickets. I can't

1468
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 3: go to every Clemson game, it's eight hours away. I

1469
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 3: bought Clemson season tickets, and I put my tickets for

1470
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 3: Florida State and Louisville up for sale one year, and

1471
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,839
Speaker 3: it paid for my entire year, paid for my travel,

1472
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 3: my hotel, my my season tickets, everything for the year.

1473
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 3: I don't know whether the person's part of the problem.

1474
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 3: I am absolutely part of the problem. Okay, there was

1475
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 3: something yesterday that happened in the game on the broadcast

1476
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 3: that I'm not the only one that noticed it. I

1477
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 3: heard it right away, but it made sense to me.

1478
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 3: It made sense to me why a beloved figure was

1479
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 3: watching the Colts. I'll explain next. What So a point

1480
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 3: that was made and I noticed this too. I immediately

1481
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 3: noticed it, and I can't even recall what it was.

1482
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 3: During the Colts game that they were discussing, Oh, I

1483
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 3: know what it was in talking about young quarterbacks and

1484
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 3: cam Ward. You know, I think everybody knows that the

1485
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 3: rookie record for interceptions in a season is that of

1486
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning. And during the broadcast yesterday, Charles Davis brought

1487
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 3: that up about Manning and then no sooner did he

1488
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 3: bring it up, but he said, Peyton Manning just texted

1489
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 3: me and said, did you really have to mention that statistic?

1490
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 3: You could have overlooked that part, you know. And Manning's

1491
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 3: always been pretty self deprecating about that aspect of his resume.

1492
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 3: But it is interesting that that statement and Denver was

1493
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 3: playing at the same time, and that statement showed that

1494
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:44,440
Speaker 3: Manning was watching the Colts and I have made reference.

1495
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 3: I talked pretty often during the NBA Finals about one

1496
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 3: of the things that I loved about the Pacers run

1497
01:23:53,760 --> 01:24:00,160
Speaker 3: was that it cemented the relationship between Reggie Miller in

1498
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 3: the city of Indianapolis. And when I say that, people

1499
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 3: are like, Jake, what are you talking about, right, There's

1500
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 3: always been a great relationship with Reggie Miller Indianapolis. True

1501
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 3: from Indianapolis's standpoint, and I'm not saying Reggie Miller hasn't

1502
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 3: always loved Indianapolis, but literally, as soon as Reggie Miller's

1503
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 3: playing career was over with, he moved back to southern California.

1504
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 3: I don't blame him in any way, shape or form

1505
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:25,719
Speaker 3: on that, right, but he came back really for work

1506
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 3: purposes and then an occasional franchise, marquee event or honorary

1507
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: thing like when David Benner passed. You know, he obviously

1508
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 3: came back to honor him. I mean, he's been a

1509
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 3: good person, but it just Reggie Miller seemed when he

1510
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 3: left here to have a neutrality about him when it

1511
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 3: came to basketball. And then during the NBA Finals, he's

1512
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 3: right there with his son wearing a jersey leading the cheers,

1513
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 3: and he was a fan. He was a fan as

1514
01:24:55,200 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 3: opposed to a broadcaster, and with Peyton Manning. Manning had

1515
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 3: such a love for Indianapolis, and Manning had such a

1516
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 3: for Peyton Manning. I think it was so important because

1517
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 3: he grew up in New Orleans where his dad had

1518
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 3: played for the Saints, and yes his dad played for

1519
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: the Oilers, but Peyton Manning it was so important to see.

1520
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 3: I think the relationship that his father had with New

1521
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 3: Orleans that when Peyton Manning was drafted by the Colts,

1522
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 3: it was in the eyes of Peyton Manning, Okay, they

1523
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 3: are getting more than a quarterback here. I now need

1524
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 3: to be a pillar of this community. And he, don't

1525
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 3: get me wrong, he's done so. I mean, obviously the

1526
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 3: children's hospital and other such things. But in Manning's eyes,

1527
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 3: it was the one reciprocation for everything that he did

1528
01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 3: for the franchise, turning his owner in to a billionaire,

1529
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:06,799
Speaker 3: building a seven hundred and eighty million dollars stadium, winning

1530
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. The one thing above and beyond the

1531
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,679
Speaker 3: money and everything else that Peyton Manning, in the back

1532
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 3: of his mind I think, always wanted in return and

1533
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 3: hoped for in return, was that he would retire, spend

1534
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 3: his entire career in and then become a staple part

1535
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 3: of the community of Indianapolis, living there for the rest

1536
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 3: of time, just like his mother and father do in

1537
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 3: New Orleans. And when Peyton Manning was released, even though

1538
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 3: I realized, as Jim Mersey said, they were up on

1539
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 3: an airplane talking it out and figuring it out and

1540
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 3: whatever else, but they just couldn't come to any other

1541
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 3: solution with Andrew Luck waiting in the wings. I think

1542
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 3: that hurt Manning so bad that when he went to Denver,

1543
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 3: finished his career as at Bronco, won a Super Bowl,

1544
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 3: and then it was like, Okay, that's where he he

1545
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 3: lives now, that's where his kids go to school, that's

1546
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 3: where he's seen on the sidelines at Nuggets games, and

1547
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 3: he is like mister Denver, but his son now is

1548
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 3: going to a private school in Chattanooga. Yes, he still

1549
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:20,799
Speaker 3: has residence in Denver, but if you really pay close attention,

1550
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 3: Manning himself is starting to come around a little bit.

1551
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 3: And I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm

1552
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 3: not saying that like he needed to do that. But

1553
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 3: he was on Sunday night on a national broadcast with

1554
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 3: I believe it is Teddy Bruski, right, he was on

1555
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 3: Sunday NFL Countdown and it was with Teddy Bruski, right,

1556
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 3: it was Teddy Bruskey much other guys. But he was

1557
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 3: saying to Teddy Bruski, like, look, you're late to the

1558
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 3: party here on Indianapolis. Like I know you Patriots guys

1559
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 3: are the last ones come in, but like you got

1560
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 3: to get in on the Colts like the Colts are,

1561
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 3: and he was talking up the Colts and this this recapture,

1562
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 3: this revitalization of the Colts franchise. They're doing it with

1563
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 3: a quarterback that has ties to Peyton Manning. They're doing

1564
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 3: it with a quarterback who was coached by a coach

1565
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 3: that was very special to Peyton Manning. And they're doing

1566
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,600
Speaker 3: it with a quarterback that was not the immediate replacement

1567
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 3: of or the guy that was the reason for the

1568
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 3: departure of Peyton Manning. It is a clean separation. It

1569
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 3: is a different era, and Manning's all in and I

1570
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 3: think that's what you're seeing when he sent that text. Yes,

1571
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 3: he was watching the Colts game, because I do think

1572
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,599
Speaker 3: that his affinity, his love, his part of being part

1573
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 3: of this organization is I'm not saying it was ever

1574
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 3: totally compromised, but he's finally now more open with it.

1575
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 3: Matt Verdram Next, what two o'clock hour in Indianapolis for

1576
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 3: that matter, it's the two o'clock hour everywhere in the

1577
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 3: Eastern time zone. My name is Jake Querry Eddie Garrison.

Speaker 3: is an East Coast guy that has a keen eye

1584
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 3: about the NFL. Matt Verderam joining us from SI on

1585
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 3: the Java House Peel and poor guest line, Matt, I'm

1586
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 3: curious of this because you offer a national perspective. Are

1587
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts the best team in the NFL?

1588
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1589
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 5: Right now they are? Yeah.

1590
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 8: I mean, look, you can the Rams beat him and

1591
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:40,679
Speaker 8: the Rams if they can kick a field goal would

1592
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 8: be seven and zero. But they can't stack field goals

1593
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 8: that they're five and two. Ill say, look bad. And

1594
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 8: I Mitchell like understands the rules of football. Against the Rams,

1595
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 8: they're they're un the beat of doo. Right, So, I

1596
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 8: think right now the big national argument against the Colts

1597
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 8: is two prongs. One of people don't believe in Daniel Johnson. Okay,

1598
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 8: they're fine, always played terrific this year. The other argument age,

1599
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 8: well they played nobody. Well, they played the Broncos, they won,

1600
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 8: and they went to the Los Angeles to everybody loves

1601
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 8: the Chargers, and they beat the daylights out of the Chargers.

1602
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 8: And I would argue, look, yeah, they've otherwise beaten bad teams,

1603
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 8: but other than the Cardinals.

1604
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 5: Game, they killed those days.

1605
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:23,440
Speaker 8: Those games have been over halfway through the second quarter halftime.

1606
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 5: Like that's that's the mark of a really good football

1607
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 5: to me. Look the Colts, especially.

1608
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:34,759
Speaker 8: Offensively, Yeah, any any hype is justified when you're winning

1609
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 8: the way they are winning these games.

1610
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, Matt, what I've said is this, and so

1611
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 3: I guess I'll turn it into a question for you.

1612
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,799
Speaker 3: I hear a lot of people say to your point,

1613
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,679
Speaker 3: and I get it. The Colts haven't beaten anybody. Okay, fine,

1614
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 3: and I disagree with you on that because Charger, you

1615
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 3: know what you just spelled out. But in that event,

1616
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 3: if some mood were to say about anybody in the

1617
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 3: NFL right now, well I haven't beaten anybody. Who is somebody?

1618
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 3: Like in this year's in all who is somebody?

1619
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 9: Right?

1620
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 8: I mean it's a short list, right, I mean we're

1621
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 8: probably it's an extremely weird year in the NFL right now,

1622
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 8: Like I'm on my way to Arrows. Day has covered

1623
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 8: them on that football game. I'm driving through Iowa, which

1624
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:14,879
Speaker 8: by the way, should be a federal crime.

1625
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 5: Having to drive away through Iowa.

1626
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 8: But like, realistically, I'm going to watch the four and

1627
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 8: three team. They're the favorites to win the Super Bowl

1628
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 8: and every sports work in the country, like, when is

1629
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 8: the last time a four and three team was favored

1630
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 8: to win anything?

1631
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 5: Maybe their own division, but like that's the league r

1632
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 5: in this year. The Eagles, people have dumped on them

1633
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 5: all year long. They're six and two.

1634
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 8: The Lions, I would say, are another team that you'd

1635
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 8: respect if they're five are the Packers are five on

1636
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:45,799
Speaker 8: a one? The Rams, you know, I'm Indianapolis, maybe Buffalo.

1637
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 8: Even Buffalo has been very gettable this year. It's not

1638
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 8: a great league, which I think, by.

1639
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 5: The way, makes it a really interesting season because you're

1640
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:55,680
Speaker 5: gonna have a lot of playoff games in January. You

1641
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 5: don't know wh where they're gonna go. I would also say, two,

1642
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 5: fuck the Colt Stadler schedule is gonna.

1643
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,799
Speaker 8: Get harder here coming up. You know, the game of Pittsburgh.

1644
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:06,559
Speaker 8: I think they should win, but it's not an easy game.

1645
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 8: A couple of weeks they go to Arrowhead, Like let's

1646
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:10,599
Speaker 8: say they.

1647
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:14,360
Speaker 5: Moves either to Kansas City or to a team of

1648
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:16,719
Speaker 5: that silk in the next month month and a half.

1649
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 8: You know, maybe that was a really hard fuck game

1650
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 8: and they lose thirty to twenty seven, What does that.

1651
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 5: Mean they're a fraud? Like if they lose that game

1652
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 5: by three points or a six points, does that mean?

1653
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 5: And if they win it, I think that would give

1654
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 5: them the justification if it. Yeah, they're the best team football.

1655
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 5: But I don't think they need like right now, when.

1656
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 8: You're winning the fight, the margins they're winning by, you're

1657
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 8: really good, Like, I don't know that.

1658
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 5: They need that validation. Maybe naturally they do. They don't suvy.

1659
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 3: By the way, Matt, you can put this one like

1660
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 3: in a little like in your phone and the notes. Thing.

1661
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 3: Don't do it right now while you're driving on Have

1662
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:53,640
Speaker 3: you been through Iowa where you can stop at the

1663
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 3: world's largest truck stop? At least? Have you done that yet?

1664
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: Bro?

1665
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 5: I've done that about twenty five times in my life.

1666
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 10: Uh.

1667
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 8: Maybe, And I gotta tell you it is outrageous. Like

1668
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:05,840
Speaker 8: there's dental.

1669
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 3: Offices that there's there's a I would have there one time,

1670
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 3: there's a barber shop and I thought to myself. The

1671
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 3: only problem with getting my haircut in this barber shop

1672
01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 3: is the comb touched the hair of the guy before me, right,

1673
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 3: And there's like it's there are some strange looking cats

1674
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 3: walking around that joint.

1675
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,240
Speaker 5: There's there's a lot going on. At one time I

1676
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 5: was in it.

1677
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 8: There's a line, there's a like Einstein Bagels or whatever the

1678
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 8: hell it was.

1679
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 5: And I was there and I'm in New Yorker.

1680
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 8: So there's a guy in front of me the Hell's

1681
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 8: Angels jacket on with a New York past, and hey,

1682
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 8: they were part of New York. And he turned around

1683
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 8: and looked at me like you want to kill me?

1684
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 8: And I sucked down, got assassed feelingly possible, but uh

1685
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 8: yeah no, I wa I way is a battle to.

1686
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 5: Test your shelf, to see how much you really want

1687
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 5: to live.

1688
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 8: I feel like that's what I will put you throw

1689
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,879
Speaker 8: it in four and a half hours ago, he west.

1690
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:57,800
Speaker 5: Founded down as it may be.

1691
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 3: Listen, you need to stop it made right. You need

1692
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 3: to stop at a mad right and get a made right,

1693
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 3: loose meat sandwich. And when you do it, you will

1694
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 3: become part Iowan and you'll be like, you know what,

1695
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 3: It's all good now, I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

1696
01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:14,799
Speaker 5: That a shot maybe on the way back tomorrow.

1697
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm telling you. If you think Taco about Cantina

1698
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 3: Saves Downtown Indy, you you ain't seen anything like made

1699
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 3: right Saves Iowa. I'm just telling you that right now, Matt,

1700
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,959
Speaker 3: outside of Indianapolis, I mean, the Colts are the obvious

1701
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 3: answer here. But outside of the Colts, tell me a

1702
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 3: team in the National Football League right now whose record

1703
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 3: may not overwhelm you, but they've been impressive because they're

1704
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 3: actually getting the most out of what they have on roster.

1705
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 8: Well, there's a few ways stands that question. I mean

1706
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 8: Kansas City in regards to back to fourth REBA watchman,

1707
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,560
Speaker 8: it feels like they're almost to stop. But to the

1708
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 8: speriend of your question, there's a two teams you could

1709
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 8: point to. I mean, look, I would say, like for

1710
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:00,680
Speaker 8: Denver six and two, so their record is impressive, and

1711
01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 8: you watch them and you're like, I don't know how

1712
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 8: this team is six and two at this offense that

1713
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:09,560
Speaker 8: Dallas is notwithstanding because Dallas Brosus defensively, but you know,

1714
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,160
Speaker 8: you look at him again, you know what, Like, all right,

1715
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 8: there's the team though I think that probably is Seattle.

1716
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 8: Like Jattle five and two and the bye week. This

1717
01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:22,640
Speaker 8: week they're number one in DVOA, and you look at

1718
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 8: the Seahawks and okay, Jackson Smiths, the Jigs has been great,

1719
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,840
Speaker 8: and Darnald has proven not to be a fluke that

1720
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,519
Speaker 8: is not an overwhelming roster.

1721
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 5: But you don't look at Seattle and just go, oh

1722
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:32,639
Speaker 5: my god.

1723
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 8: They got eight Pro Bowlers and five All pros, like.

1724
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 5: They're fine, But then you watch them play and they're

1725
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 5: really good. They're really good. Now can they win a

1726
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 5: Super Bowl? I don't know. I had have a hard

1727
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 5: time picking them against Philly or Detroit.

1728
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 8: Or Green Bay in a playoff game. I think the

1729
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 8: playoffs are a different animal than the regular season. But

1730
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:54,840
Speaker 8: I get Seattle a lot of credit in the sense

1731
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:57,720
Speaker 8: that I think going into the year, I thought they

1732
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,799
Speaker 8: would be fine. I thought they compete for a playoff spot.

1733
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 8: But they've shown to be more than the some of

1734
01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 8: their parts. And it's a credit to the coaching staff.

1735
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 8: It's the credit to Darnold and sing the Jig that's

1736
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 8: gone from being an up and coming star to a superstars,

1737
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 8: being a top five to.

1738
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 1: Ten receiver in the NFL.

1739
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:19,799
Speaker 3: I like the fact that you thought because the guys

1740
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 3: Hell's Angels Vest said New York that like you guys

1741
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 3: were gonna bond over a bagel together, right, I thought

1742
01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 3: we could talk.

1743
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 8: I mean, litten, I got another's Iowa And you know, listen,

1744
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 8: I had I had an uncle who may or may

1745
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 8: not have been in a few interesting organizations in his life,

1746
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 8: maybe including that one.

1747
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,120
Speaker 5: So like, yeah, let's get I could talk to this.

1748
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 5: I could not talk to that guy.

1749
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 3: He thought maybe he knew Uncle Mike. Okay, that's cool.

1750
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 8: Guy, this is all right, And then, as it turns,

1751
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 8: immediately his facialist prectable here is not all right. Yeah,

1752
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 8: how did I say?

1753
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: Hey?

1754
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 3: Which is the If you had to pick one one

1755
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 3: of two right now that would be listed as the

1756
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 3: MVP for the Indianapolis Colts, would you say Jonathan Taylor

1757
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 3: or Daniel Jones.

1758
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 8: Jones Taylor's been the better. Taylor's been unbelievable. I mean,

1759
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 8: to me, right now, I give it like my old

1760
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,440
Speaker 8: fit michigan O Pro team comes out to Marvel Sports Illustrated,

1761
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 8: not the break any shocking news, but like Taylor's obviously

1762
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 8: on my own pro he has been unbelievable. I think

1763
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 8: he and McCaffrey have been the two best running back

1764
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 8: in the league. And McCaffrey mostly because because mister c.

1765
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 8: Taylor has been spectacular, But I would say Jones from

1766
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 8: the standpoint that look, if if they got the quarterback play,

1767
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 8: they'll Let's be honest, a lot of us thought they

1768
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 8: were going to get come into the season, whether it

1769
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 8: be from Jones or from Anthony Richardson.

1770
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 5: Their record is what right now? You know? I mean,

1771
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:53,640
Speaker 5: it's it's maybe maybe.

1772
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 8: Because of this a little bit of a offic schedule,

1773
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 8: maybe five and three something like, but nobody's.

1774
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 5: Sitting here thinking about them, and that could legitimately get

1775
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 5: in the Aghy playoffs and do a lot of damage.

1776
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:05,680
Speaker 5: Whereas Jones had.

1777
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 8: Jones has not been as good of a quarterback as

1778
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 8: Taylor has been a running back, but because of the

1779
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 8: importance of the position and the stability Jones has brought

1780
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 8: to it.

1781
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,240
Speaker 5: Like he's only got three three hundred yards in a

1782
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:19,640
Speaker 5: game once this year, I believe it.

1783
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 8: But he has been so consistent, he's been accurate, he

1784
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 8: has not turned the ball over, He's made plays under

1785
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 8: dow and they needed it.

1786
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 5: Like that is to me the difference between Taylor having

1787
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 5: a great season on a decent.

1788
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 8: Team and Taylor having a great season on a team

1789
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 8: that could really contend for something meaningful and so well,

1790
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 8: I think Taylor is certainly the better player. I think

1791
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:46,680
Speaker 8: Jones is the MVP because the position he plays is

1792
01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 8: just the paramount sports.

1793
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 3: How much of this is he walked into a situation

1794
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:55,680
Speaker 3: with a coach like Shane Steik and that was kind

1795
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:59,479
Speaker 3: of a quarterback whisper and had better talent around him

1796
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 3: than he did in New York, And how much of

1797
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 3: it is just the natural progression and growth of a quarterback.

1798
01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 5: I think it's a lot of the former.

1799
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 8: Look, I'm a big believer that quarterbacks not all I mean,

1800
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 8: there are some guys who are just so special it

1801
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 8: maybe it wouldn't matter most guys, the majority of quarterbacks,

1802
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 8: their success or failure.

1803
01:39:23,600 --> 01:39:25,479
Speaker 5: It's just where are you going? Where are you going

1804
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 5: in the league?

1805
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 8: I remember last year I'd a story that I was

1806
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 8: up in Minnesota for like I think it was like two.

1807
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 5: For three days last week of the season. They're going

1808
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 5: to play the freight in that game for winner take

1809
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 5: All in the.

1810
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 8: North, And I was talking the people in the building

1811
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 8: and then while I was at the hotel, I was

1812
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:42,360
Speaker 8: talking to some people around the league to kind of

1813
01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 8: get killer for the story on background, and I talked

1814
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 8: to this one personnel director in the NFL about Darnell

1815
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,160
Speaker 8: as how surprised the you that he's playing as well,

1816
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 8: And he was like.

1817
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 5: I'm not like he got drafted by the Jets. They're

1818
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 5: the Jets. Of course they screwed it up.

1819
01:39:58,920 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: And what.

1820
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 5: That's like a common study.

1821
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 8: I think that's a lot about how people feel about jumps,

1822
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 8: where it's like, well, yeah, he went to the Giants, like,

1823
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 8: of course it's the Giant.

1824
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:10,680
Speaker 5: Now, look, you could argue that.

1825
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 8: Dable is not you know, a bad coach can arguer

1826
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 8: is how your opinion is of him.

1827
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 5: But that organization had stunk now for the better part

1828
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 5: of fifteen years.

1829
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 8: And I think with Psyching, I remember writing when they

1830
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 8: signed him, Look they brought him into three raison. He's

1831
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,679
Speaker 8: got mobility, he's accurate, and he doesn't turned the football

1832
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 8: over and they will just give him eg for a season.

1833
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 5: Throwing his He's played better than that. He's made him

1834
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 5: really tough throws too.

1835
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 8: But I'm not surprised he's played the best football that year.

1836
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 8: I'm surprised he's played as well as has. I didn't

1837
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 8: have him going for forty four hundred yards of my

1838
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 8: fingo card.

1839
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,040
Speaker 5: But he's been He's been what I thought he'd be.

1840
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 8: But on steroids, and that is to a team that

1841
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 8: is not just winning, they are dominating people. And so look,

1842
01:40:58,200 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 8: I don't know how the back half of the year

1843
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 8: will play out. I expect them to be very good.

1844
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 8: I expect him to play well, and I expect them

1845
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 8: to be hosting at minimum, you know, or one bigger

1846
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 8: playoff Kansas, not all of them as the season on fault.

1847
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 3: Do you think Matt Berderram is our guest by the

1848
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 3: way he's on the Java House peel and poor guest line.

1849
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:19,760
Speaker 3: His work can be read at SI, including his mid

1850
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:23,679
Speaker 3: season All Pro Team coming out. Matt, do you believe

1851
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 3: with Daniel Jones that this is now a foregone conclusion

1852
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 3: slam dunk, that the Colts go ahead and lock him

1853
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 3: in long term or do you think they still want

1854
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,639
Speaker 3: to see more and in particular in the second half

1855
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,360
Speaker 3: when you have Kansas City, San Francisco, Seattle, et cetera

1856
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:42,679
Speaker 3: on the schedule, I'd.

1857
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 8: Want to see the second half because I think that's

1858
01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 8: only proved and not because I'm waiting for the other

1859
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:51,120
Speaker 8: shooting drops, Because look, you have a lot of evidence

1860
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 8: prior to this year that Daniel Jones is somewhere between

1861
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:57,760
Speaker 8: a backup and a low level starting quarterback. Now, all

1862
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 8: of a sudden issue, you have evidence to gill top

1863
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 8: ten quarterback in football. If I'm the coach, I'm not

1864
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 8: in some massive rush to extend him right now, like

1865
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 8: you get to the end of the year if you

1866
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 8: have to tag him and then sign him off the tag,

1867
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 8: like I don't think they're just overwhelming. Oh my goodness,

1868
01:42:15,600 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 8: if we don't sign him before week eleven, what's gonna happen?

1869
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 5: Like, why, there's no there's no big push now, I

1870
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 5: get it.

1871
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 8: You could argue, well, what if it plays like that

1872
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:25,000
Speaker 8: the whole rest Ofhey, okay, that's a good problem. That

1873
01:42:25,040 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 8: has depending him a couple extra million years, so one

1874
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 8: who cares you get your quarterback doesn't matter.

1875
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 5: I would wait. I would wait to see how it goes,

1876
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:33,920
Speaker 5: because the last.

1877
01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 8: Of you, honest is lock him in. I mean, look,

1878
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 8: this is a much different situation. But I remember, you

1879
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 8: know ways that years back. Ryan Fitzpatrick for the Bills

1880
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 8: was like unbelievable the first four or five weeks of

1881
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 8: the year, and they gave him what sounds like nothing

1882
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 8: now but like a sixty six.

1883
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:51,840
Speaker 5: Million dollar contract. They won one game the rest of

1884
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 5: the year. But I don't think that's gonna happen here.

1885
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 5: They have a much bigger sample size. But I would

1886
01:42:57,840 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 5: wait it out. I see how it goes.

1887
01:43:00,439 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 8: You men.

1888
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 5: Look, their schedule is tougher.

1889
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 8: They have some teams the back half ter even Houston

1890
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 8: a team it's not great, but very good. Defensively, they

1891
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 8: would play them twice, like I'd wait it out.

1892
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:12,439
Speaker 5: But if he continues to play.

1893
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, they're gonna open up the wall, but they're

1894
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:15,720
Speaker 8: not gonna let him walk out the door.

1895
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:21,160
Speaker 3: What challenges does Pittsburgh present for the Colts? What do

1896
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 3: the Steelers do well that could perhaps be of Achilles

1897
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,719
Speaker 3: to Indianapolish nothing.

1898
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 8: Defensively, they're an absolute tire fire defentially, I mean defensively

1899
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 8: between them and.

1900
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 5: Dallas, it was like it was like watching eleven on six.

1901
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 8: But look, I think you know Pittsburgh, they they've run

1902
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 8: the ball off better since they've really kind of leaned

1903
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:47,560
Speaker 8: into Jaalen Warren. You know, gain Well has been a

1904
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,559
Speaker 8: nice little change of pace back. So they're gonna look

1905
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 8: they can run the ball. They're they're very good in

1906
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 8: the quick game passing. Now, now one thing about them,

1907
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 8: they very rarely stretched the field. Rogers has the lowest

1908
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 8: average depth of target if anybody in the nfell like

1909
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,560
Speaker 8: everything with them, even on a longer down in this

1910
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 8: short big thing in the same as of the Colts.

1911
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 8: Gotta tackle it doesn't he can complete the seven percent passes,

1912
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 8: makes no differences. Every pass is like four yards outfield.

1913
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:16,519
Speaker 5: You have to tackle. You know, you're not gonna get

1914
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 5: a ton of facts in this game because it's just

1915
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:19,679
Speaker 5: it's the way the Steelers play.

1916
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,800
Speaker 8: It's not Conducers do it. But gotta be you know,

1917
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:26,400
Speaker 8: gat the sound assignments. Defensively against the run, you gotta

1918
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 8: be able to tackle on his face. The secondary, they're

1919
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 8: gonna try to stretch out Metchalf.

1920
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:32,560
Speaker 5: Obviously, big body guy, not the he's just got to

1921
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 5: bring down.

1922
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,600
Speaker 8: And then look, defensively, the one thing Pittsford can do

1923
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 8: is is they can rush the passer. And that's if

1924
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 8: you can block, you can you can do whatever you want. Again,

1925
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 8: that that's secondary is awful but you know, hold up

1926
01:44:47,560 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 8: against hold up against Watt and her big and hein

1927
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 8: Smith Heyward. That that's the challenge that defense presents. There's

1928
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,080
Speaker 8: not much else they do well, if you got to

1929
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 8: get pressure.

1930
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:01,320
Speaker 3: I notice you went tire fire instead of dumpster fire.

1931
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 3: Now I prefer tire fire as well, especially living in Indie.

1932
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 3: But do you is there a difference really between tire

1933
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 3: fire and dumpster fire?

1934
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1935
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 5: I think it dumps the fire is a bigger fire.

1936
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 8: Like like I feel like, whatever the hell Cincinnati did

1937
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 8: defensively yesterday, that's a dumpster fire.

1938
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean you give you give him a five

1939
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:25,600
Speaker 5: hundred meaning automatically, is it?

1940
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 8: I you know, the only reason the Bengals having fired

1941
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:31,560
Speaker 8: everybody defensively is it's just too much trouble to do

1942
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 8: that right now. But yeah, I go to dumps the

1943
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:36,720
Speaker 8: fires they're more all encompassing.

1944
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 3: Tire more isolated. But but a lot of smoke, a

1945
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 3: lot of thick, thick smoke with a tire fire, just.

1946
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,719
Speaker 8: So you know, uh, a lot a lot of attention

1947
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 8: being drawn to the entire fire from a wifeless.

1948
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is correct, all right, Matt. In conclusion here, now,

1949
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken. And I'm going off of your

1950
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,960
Speaker 3: ex post twitter bio, which is always all knowing. Uh,

1951
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 3: it says that you do do radio work as well

1952
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,679
Speaker 3: for the Kansas City Sports Network. That is fact correct.

1953
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:07,599
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, podcast but yeah yeah, Okay, that's challenge.

1954
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 3: Okay, So you can throw out that fact if I

1955
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 3: didn't mention it earlier. It is a fun, fun fact

1956
01:46:13,640 --> 01:46:16,640
Speaker 3: that Patrick Mahomes when these two teams face each other

1957
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 3: November twenty third, I believe in the regular season, there

1958
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 3: is only one franchise in the National Football League that

1959
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes has not beaten in a regular season game,

1960
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:28,320
Speaker 3: and it happens to be the Indianapolis Colts. And that

1961
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 3: seemed to be a FATA complete at the beginning of

1962
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 3: the year that that would end this year. But we

1963
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 3: shall see what happens in November. But there's your fact

1964
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 3: that you can share.

1965
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 8: That is that is I believe a actors there's one

1966
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 8: of the team. But it was like Minnesota b to

1967
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:43,639
Speaker 8: be a last year. Yeah no, that Look, that game,

1968
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 8: you can make an argument the game of the year,

1969
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 8: like if they continue to play this way, you know, look,

1970
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:52,160
Speaker 8: they got a rough going. I mean, they've got Buffalo

1971
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 8: and Denver on the road the next two weeks before

1972
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 8: the Indianapolis game. Their next three Reacher are pretty challenging.

1973
01:46:57,479 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 8: But after that they played, don't they may not looten

1974
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 8: to the game after that it will be very if

1975
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,160
Speaker 8: the Colt's going to Arrow and either.

1976
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 5: Beat him or play into the wire. I don't think.

1977
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 8: Anybody can say anything nationally anymore. I don't think you

1978
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 8: get any questions about how good the Colt Stroyer.

1979
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:12,559

Speaker 3: But I do love Jake twenty five. Jake twenty five, Yes, yeah, yeah, Eddie.

1995
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:55,879
Speaker 3: Have you been to Iowa.

1996
01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: I have not.

1997
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: I have not been to Iowa. By the way, last

1998
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 2: week I mixed the peacht with the regular energy good stuff.

1999
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:07,320
Speaker 3: Matthew from Maine mixed the Liquid Science blue and orange together,

2000
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,840
Speaker 3: said it was fabulous, really interesting. They should if you're

2001
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 3: mixing the blue and the orange, they should call that

2002
01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 3: the thunder Right.

2003
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:16,799
Speaker 2: You just gave them a marketing idea, Jake.

2004
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 3: That's what I do. Iowa the state of Iowa.

2005
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:22,679
Speaker 2: I'm of Caitlin Clark.

2006
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 3: This is how I knew that I'm getting older. When

2007
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 3: I was a younger guy, I was a place I

2008
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 3: would have been and I'm not. You know, Matt, it

2009
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 3: is a driving through Iowa is absolutely a chore. He

2010
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 3: is correct in that. I mean, it is a there's

2011
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 3: it's it is less than scenic for certain But West Branch,

2012
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 3: Iowa is the hometown of Herbert Hoover. His presidential library there,

2013
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 3: I think is one of the better ones. That very interesting.

2014
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 3: One of the interesting anecdotes about that that I have

2015
01:48:55,920 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 3: shared before is that Herbert Hoover before becoming the president

2016
01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:03,240
Speaker 3: in the United States. His biggest initiative was he was

2017
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:09,640
Speaker 3: essentially you know, hunger was his big thing of like

2018
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:12,799
Speaker 3: making sure that no American went hungry. And it's interesting

2019
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:16,280
Speaker 3: where he is buried right off of I eighty. When

2020
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 3: you go to his burial site, on his presidential site

2021
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 3: in West Branch, the only thing you see in the

2022
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 3: background on the horizon is a huge from like ten well,

2023
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 3: it's probably two miles from there, a huge golden arches

2024
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 3: of McDonald's sign. That's the only thing you see on

2025
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 3: the horizon, which I always found to be ironic, but

2026
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 3: nonetheless I digress. One of the ways that I know

2027
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 3: I've gotten older is when I was a younger guy,

2028
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 3: I would have been like, Iowa, man, that is lame,

2029
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 3: like there's and it's a chore to drive through. But

2030
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:51,639
Speaker 3: eastern Iowa, the hills of it are beautiful. Western Iowa

2031
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 3: is basically corn plains. But Des Moines itself is really

2032
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 3: a nice town, especially the eastern side of the Moin

2033
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:03,640
Speaker 3: area where Kaitlin Clark's from. It's just a people are

2034
01:50:03,680 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 3: friendly as heck, it's clean, It's downtown. Des Moines is

2035
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 3: kind of quaint. I kind of like it. But of

2036
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:15,559
Speaker 3: the fifty states that I asked Matt Verdam the question,

2037
01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 3: who is the team that's getting the most out of

2038
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 3: its roster right now in the NFL? And Seattle's one

2039
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 3: of those that he mentioned as somebody. Someday when I'm

2040
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 3: really bored, I'll do my blog of ranking the all

2041
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,559
Speaker 3: fifty states on my experience having been to fifty of them.

2042
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,839
Speaker 3: But Iowa is one that kind of is like the Seahawks.

2043
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:34,679
Speaker 3: I feel like it gets the most out of itself.

2044
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 3: I was kind of underrated.

2045
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 2: I thought he would go with the New England Patriots.

2046
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 3: That's a really good one. I mean New England is

2047
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 3: totally off radar, right, I mean totally Is it under

2048
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 3: radar or off radar?

2049
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but I'm not sure if they are anymore. Jake,

2050
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 2: just because of the way Drake maizmon balling. I mean,

2051
01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:56,880
Speaker 2: he's got like the third or fifth best odds now

2052
01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 2: to win the MVP.

2053
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,240
Speaker 3: He's playing at a very high level, no question about it.

2054
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 2: Reminds me of the guy that the Colts will see

2055
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

2056
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:08,439
Speaker 3: They of the guy that the Colts will see on Sunday.

2057
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 3: H you're saying Drake may remind you of Aaron Rodgers.

2058
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:13,880
Speaker 3: Does you mean current Aaron Rodgers or former Aaron Rodgers

2059
01:51:13,960 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 3: for Aaron quick release pinpoint act Aaron Rodgers now, And

2060
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 3: I get it. I'm not making fun of it because

2061
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,560
Speaker 3: I understand the importance of you know, concussion protection and

2062
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 3: all that nobility within the pocket. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers. Whre's

2063
01:51:25,360 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 3: a helmet where he looks like the Great Gazoo from

2064
01:51:27,160 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 3: the Flintstones. It's very odd. I mean, I'm not saying

2065
01:51:31,160 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 3: the helmet's odd. I get why he does it, but

2066
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 3: like he he looks.

2067
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 1: Out at it.

2068
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,600
Speaker 3: But but Aaron Rodgers also just looks frustrated everywhere he is,

2069
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 3: no matter who he's playing with, no matter what's going on,

2070
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:41,839
Speaker 3: he always looks frustrated.

2071
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 2: There was a report I forget who had it. I

2072
01:51:43,720 --> 01:51:45,600
Speaker 2: saw it over the weekend. May have been might have

2073
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 2: been Mike Garofolo or one of the guys on NFL

2074
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 2: Network that the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to convince Aaron

2075
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:52,920
Speaker 2: Rodgers to come back for another season.

2076
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I could see it. You know what other

2077
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 3: options do they have?

2078
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:58,800
Speaker 2: He has played well this year. I will say that the.

2079
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 3: Culture through eight games and that means in eight words

2080
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:04,920
Speaker 3: or fewer. I wanted your thoughts on summary of it,

2081
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 3: and some of you gave some great answers. I'll read

2082
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 3: them next. So the Colts are seven and one through

2083
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,719
Speaker 3: eight games. They have the best record in the National

2084
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:20,160
Speaker 3: Football League, just as all of you predicted, myself included,

2085
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:28,560
Speaker 3: I said ten and seven. That seems safe. But I

2086
01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 3: always ask the question after each game, give me your

2087
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 3: summary after insert name of games they've played for the

2088
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 3: number of words that you can use. Some of the

2089
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:45,680
Speaker 3: replies yesterday, and there were some good ones, like, for

2090
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:54,720
Speaker 3: example from Little Birchie, this team is tailor made to

2091
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:56,640
Speaker 3: win games. And I did not count the words to

2092
01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 3: make sure that all of these fit within the word parameter.

2093
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 3: But I like that tailor made. See what he did there,

2094
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 3: JT MVP, hashtag why not Indiana, the hashtag alont trademark

2095
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:17,879
Speaker 3: that gets you in right. This from Daniel, Oh my goodness,

2096
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:23,719
Speaker 3: I was so wrong. Rob says best team in the league.

2097
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:24,719
Speaker 3: There is no doubt.

2098
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 2: Now I'm trying to figure out what this person is saying.

2099
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:33,679
Speaker 2: Boiler Tad still waiting for the other shoe to drop

2100
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:37,440
Speaker 2: exactly that. What other shoe are they referring.

2101
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 3: To I think a lot of people feel that way though,

2102
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 3: of and I think boiler Tad probably is saying that

2103
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 3: just in the form of it still doesn't feel real.

2104
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 3: So you're waiting for, like, wait a minute, where is

2105
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:54,280
Speaker 3: the like the piano that's hanging over the coyote, you know, like,

2106
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 3: where's it gonna what's gonna happen here? And part of

2107
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,880
Speaker 3: that is just there's a condition, especially as a Colts

2108
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 3: fan of the last decade or so, for that to

2109
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 3: be the case, right, Spencer Schriner, this is a really

2110
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:12,720
Speaker 3: good one, so good it's boring photo Matt, the Indianapolis

2111
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 3: Colts are rocking. Don't bother knocking Indiana Jones and Raiders

2112
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:22,240
Speaker 3: of the lost Quarterback. You're not kidding the fact that

2113
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,840
Speaker 3: he was a lost quarterback that found his place, right.

2114
01:54:26,080 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 3: I like this one, Trevian a golden opportunity. Then in Priston,

2115
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 3: I see that's three words, right, So he's got five

2116
01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:40,400
Speaker 3: words left to play with. So in printhesys he puts Ballard,

2117
01:54:40,480 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 3: do not screw up. Jonathan Taylor is the unanimous most

2118
01:54:46,080 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 3: valuable player that from Sean Again, I think the most

2119
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 3: valuable player is Daniel Jones I think Taylor is the

2120
01:54:53,920 --> 01:55:00,200
Speaker 3: most outstanding player, but if you have I had to

2121
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 3: remove one of the two of them. Moving forward, without

2122
01:55:03,680 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, who has been absolutely outstanding, you still get

2123
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:12,640
Speaker 3: probably sixty percent the production at the running back position,

2124
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 3: and your offense still is able to go at probably

2125
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:18,680
Speaker 3: eighty percent efficiency. You take Daniel Jones out, it's Katie

2126
01:55:18,720 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 3: bar the door. Nothing against Reiley Leonard, and but Anthony

2127
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 3: Richards is not available, and that makes it even that

2128
01:55:25,440 --> 01:55:29,680
Speaker 3: much more valuable to have him in there. Which leads

2129
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 3: to my buddy Adam Shuckman, can we have Player of

2130
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 3: the Year tie dr who would have guessed Daniel Jones?

2131
01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:40,240
Speaker 3: The answer.

2132
01:55:41,480 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 2: From Marcus whoever drafted Jonathan Taylor should keep their job.

2133
01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 3: This from Ross still, do not extend Ballard? Wow, Okay, okay,

2134
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 3: this from Michael to that point, Michael Turner playing so

2135
01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:04,760
Speaker 3: well worried Ballard gets an extension. Here's a really good

2136
01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 3: one from Brian Taylor. Glad the Star Wars numbers are

2137
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 3: sort of back, because that was if you recall Jim

2138
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 3: or Say, one of his big things was back when

2139
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:21,440
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning was playing, when he said, you know, we

2140
01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 3: had all the Star Wars numbers, but we didn't have

2141
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 3: We should have had multiple Lombardies because of this. By

2142
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 3: the way, is it freezing in here?

2143
01:56:28,160 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: Is at me?

2144
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 2: It's a little cold.

2145
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 3: It feels freezing to me in here. We need to

2146
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:37,720
Speaker 3: get those guys that love heating and air on the

2147
01:56:37,840 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 3: case because they got twenty four hour on call maintenance

2148
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 3: and they also sponsor our crossover coming up. Expected defensive

2149
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 3: improvements from experienced coordinator. Now, hold on, how many words

2150
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 3: is this slash offense? Shocking? That seems like over eight,

2151
01:56:53,760 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 3: But that's okay. Stole the words from some other people. Short,

2152
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 3: I like this from Big M nine to three four.

2153
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:08,640
Speaker 3: I was wrong about Daniel Jones. My bad. Now, one

2154
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 3: guy that Eddie grew up with, that Eddie used to

2155
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 3: spot for in the weight room is probably you know,

2156
01:57:15,280 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 3: it was the other way around, Jake.

2157
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:19,360
Speaker 2: Come on, now, don't you know this? Uh huh uh Tyrone,

2158
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 2: Tracy's probably about to get some more reps.

2159
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I'm good for Tyrone.

2160
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:26,520
Speaker 2: But in the nature of which why it's unfortunate Camp's

2161
01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 2: kataboo dislocated ankle will be out for the rest of

2162
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:30,640
Speaker 2: the season.

2163
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:35,160
Speaker 3: Interesting because I a couple of weeks ago. I was

2164
01:57:35,240 --> 01:57:37,680
Speaker 3: watching him and I sent a tweet that said something

2165
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:41,160
Speaker 3: along the lines of, you know, this guy was like

2166
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 3: the eleventh running backs selected in the draft, and yet

2167
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:49,920
Speaker 3: he almost It's unfair to the rest of the roster

2168
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:52,120
Speaker 3: at Arizona State to say he single handle he got

2169
01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 3: them in the college football playoff a year ago. I mean,

2170
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,040
Speaker 3: it's not like I watched a lot of Arizona State,

2171
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 3: but he was so electric and dynamic in that playoff

2172
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:03,400
Speaker 3: game against Texas. He was virtually unstoppable.

2173
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 2: He also had two NFL receivers on that team, Jalen

2174
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 2: Noel and Jayden Higgins, both with the Texans now and

2175
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 2: Rocobec's to solid quarterback.

2176
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 3: But I mean he was he was unbelievable. I mean

2177
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 3: in the playoff game against Texas last year. Let me

2178
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:22,280
Speaker 3: see what Skataboo did. I mean, did you watch that game?

2179
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:25,160
Speaker 3: The playoff game last year? It was it was one

2180
01:58:25,200 --> 01:58:26,680
Speaker 3: of those I think it went into overtime.

2181
01:58:26,720 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 2: He threw for a touchdown. Didn't you catch a touchdown

2182
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 2: and rush for a touchdown?

2183
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:33,200
Speaker 3: Okay, he I'm going to look here at the box

2184
01:58:33,240 --> 01:58:35,800
Speaker 3: score to see what he did. Cam Skataboo. Yet last year,

2185
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:39,839
Speaker 3: in that game, You are correct. He threw for a touchdown,

2186
01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 3: a forty two yard touchdown pass. He carried the ball

2187
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 3: thirty times for one hundred and forty three yards, and

2188
01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:47,880
Speaker 3: he caught eight passes for ninety nine yards. I mean,

2189
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 3: he was everywhere, did everything but sell the popcorn, and

2190
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 3: so I'm like, man, and then he gets into the NFL,

2191
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 3: and yet it's the same thing. I mean every time

2192
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,640
Speaker 3: he got in it was like he was like John

2193
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 3: Riggins and Jerome Bettis all tied up into one and

2194
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:04,440
Speaker 3: Mike Alstott and several people. When I said, like, how

2195
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 3: does this guy fall this far? Then that's when people

2196
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 3: pointed out and it's a very good point. With that

2197
01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 3: playing style, his durability is going to be in question now.

2198
01:59:12,880 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 3: Interesting because with this injury, he was basically just going

2199
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 3: out on a pass play and he he planted and

2200
01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 3: I think that's where I don't know that he got hit,

2201
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 3: but it was just an awkward plant and then.

2202
01:59:25,600 --> 01:59:27,160
Speaker 2: He got hit a little bit better. It just kind

2203
01:59:27,160 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 2: of looked like his right got caught in the in

2204
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:30,960
Speaker 2: the in the ground.

2205
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 3: There the other story that we talked about earlier, Don

2206
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:37,760
Speaker 3: Fischer joined us that will be available. You can listen

2207
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:39,600
Speaker 3: to it in podcasts form at one oh seven five

2208
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 3: in the fan dot com. We asked that you wait

2209
01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 3: until after our programming today to be able or to

2210
01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 3: listen to it. But we were talking about just Indiana

2211
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:54,720
Speaker 3: football and I you and the Colts both you've kind

2212
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 3: of run out of superlatives. You can talk all you

2213
01:59:59,840 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 3: want about both of them, but now you're at the

2214
02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 3: point where you just expect him to go out there.

2215
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:08,760
Speaker 3: And you know Alex Polo, who I think might join

2216
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:11,120
Speaker 3: us sometime this week just to recap his visit to

2217
02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 3: Bloomington and being there, I did hear a funny story where.

2218
02:00:15,120 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Talk about a guy that's been everywhere since the Indy

2219
02:00:17,640 --> 02:00:18,200
Speaker 2: Cars is good.

2220
02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:22,960
Speaker 3: That's what they need, right, Yes, So Alex Polo went

2221
02:00:23,040 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 3: to the game, the IndyCar season champion, Indy five hundred

2222
02:00:26,440 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 3: champion went to the IU game as part of the

2223
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:35,000
Speaker 3: broadcast for Fox, and afterwards he stayed almost the entire

2224
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:38,960
Speaker 3: game on the sidelines and at one point he said

2225
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 3: he said to somebody, man, I almost feel bad for UCLA,

2226
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 3: And I think it was Jeremy Gray from IU that said, well, yeah,

2227
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:53,240
Speaker 3: but I mean you lead two laps, you know, you

2228
02:00:53,360 --> 02:00:55,120
Speaker 3: lead a field by two laps. Do you feel bad?

2229
02:00:56,280 --> 02:01:00,120
Speaker 3: And Polo said, yeah, but I'm not hurting them. When

2230
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 3: I lead somebody by two laps, I'm not hurting them.

2231
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,360
Speaker 3: In other words, here's a guy from outside of Barcelona,

2232
02:01:05,440 --> 02:01:08,720
Speaker 3: Spain that is just now kind of learning and understanding

2233
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:12,600
Speaker 3: the game of American football, and he's watching it, and

2234
02:01:12,680 --> 02:01:15,720
Speaker 3: he's watching Indiana and he's saying to him, he's saying,

2235
02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:20,760
Speaker 3: these guys are just punishing these dudes. That's how resounding

2236
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:24,320
Speaker 3: it was. And yes, UCLA is in no way, shape

2237
02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:27,120
Speaker 3: or form going to be confused anytime soon with Pete

2238
02:01:27,160 --> 02:01:32,960
Speaker 3: Carroll's USC teams. But they have played better since they've

2239
02:01:32,960 --> 02:01:35,000
Speaker 3: made a coaching change. They'd won three in a row

2240
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:41,520
Speaker 3: in Indiana flexed and imposed their will on them, Aidan Fisher,

2241
02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:45,480
Speaker 3: who is now probable for the game against Maryland with

2242
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 3: the pick six, and in typical Kurt Signetti Indiana fashion,

2243
02:01:51,480 --> 02:01:53,440
Speaker 3: they just keep going and going. And I'm telling you

2244
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 3: right now, Ohio State fans got super upset with me

2245
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:04,400
Speaker 3: on social media this weekend. Ohio State is outstanding. Their

2246
02:02:04,480 --> 02:02:06,760
Speaker 3: defense is historically elite.

2247
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:10,960
Speaker 2: There were Ohio State fans complaining that Alberto Mendoza was

2248
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:13,400
Speaker 2: in the game patting his stats for Heisman. Don't you

2249
02:02:13,480 --> 02:02:15,520
Speaker 2: know that's the brother, Yeah, that's the little brother.

2250
02:02:15,640 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 1: Right.

2251
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 3: The reality is this Ohio State's outstanding and they have

2252
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,960
Speaker 3: probably not put their foot down on the accelerator yet.

2253
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:32,560
Speaker 3: But as of right now, the Indiana Hoosiers, they are

2254
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:37,720
Speaker 3: well prepared. They are taking care of the football, they

2255
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:42,360
Speaker 3: are forcing turnovers. They remind me of Brad Stevens Butler

2256
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,760
Speaker 3: basketball teams, and the fact that they know where balls

2257
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 3: bounce before it bounces there. They know angles that receivers

2258
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 3: are coming across before they even get there. They know

2259
02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 3: seemingly where the gaps are defensively to penetrate. They are

2260
02:02:57,520 --> 02:03:02,080
Speaker 3: so well prepared, and they've had their hiccup game at

2261
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:04,960
Speaker 3: Iowa where they figured out a way to win, and

2262
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:08,120
Speaker 3: they've had their true test at Oregon where they went

2263
02:03:08,200 --> 02:03:11,040
Speaker 3: in there and as the game went on just took

2264
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 3: more control of it. Indiana right now on October the

2265
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:17,080
Speaker 3: twenty sixth or seventh, or whatever we are right now.

2266
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to be the case at

2267
02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:21,680
Speaker 3: the end of the year. I don't know where things fall,

2268
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,360
Speaker 3: But as of right now, at the end of October,

2269
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:30,480
Speaker 3: Indiana is the best team in college football. Ohio State's outstanding,

2270
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 3: there's no question, but if you factor all things in,

2271
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:40,120
Speaker 3: including most impressive win, it's Indiana's the best team now

2272
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 3: right now. ESPN they're twelve panelists that predict the college

2273
02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:47,200
Speaker 3: football playoff. Seven have Ohio State is the one seed,

2274
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 3: five of Indiana as the one seed.

2275
02:03:49,120 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Do the first Shoto rankings come out this week?

2276
02:03:52,680 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 3: The college football rankings? I always thought it was the

2277
02:03:55,440 --> 02:03:58,320
Speaker 3: first week in November. You might be right, but it's

2278
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:01,160
Speaker 3: going to be Ohio State or Indiana question, And if

2279
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:06,000
Speaker 3: you really go by the schedule, factoring in, it should

2280
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:09,120
Speaker 3: be for right now Indiana, I think, but they've got

2281
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 3: some tests though it's gonna get tricky this weekend at Maryland.

2282
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 3: Then you got to go to Penn State. I know

2283
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 3: Penn State's not what we thought. And before we get

2284
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:19,800
Speaker 3: to the crossover with JMV, my buddy Pat Dyer asked

2285
02:04:19,840 --> 02:04:23,520
Speaker 3: me this question, which is a fabulous question. When was

2286
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:26,480
Speaker 3: the last time two coaches that started in the preseason

2287
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:29,000
Speaker 3: ranking top ten both were fired in the middle of

2288
02:04:29,000 --> 02:04:33,600
Speaker 3: the year And Brian Kelly now has to up and

2289
02:04:33,680 --> 02:04:38,120
Speaker 3: move his family out of LSU. Couldn't happen to a

2290
02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 3: nicer guy. It would seem a crossover brought to you

2291
02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,360
Speaker 3: by the good guys. I love eating and air. We'll

2292
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:46,760
Speaker 3: find out what John's got lined up. We'll do it next, Eddie.

2293
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,680
Speaker 3: Is game number three tonight, right.

2294

2298
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:06,600
Speaker 3: and notably watching I mean both of them. The Dodgers

2299
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 3: are wildly entertaining, no question, They've got great players. Toronto.

2300
02:05:14,080 --> 02:05:16,640

2321
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:58,240
Speaker 3: Is so pretty? Blue jays are known to decapitate birds. Really,

2322
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 3: the blue jays not mess around. They're aggressive, they're territorial.

2323
02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:08,680
Speaker 3: Blue jays are essentially their nuisances. They're there you of

2324
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:11,879
Speaker 3: the bird industry, huh, yes, they're they're like an invasive

2325
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:15,160
Speaker 3: species of the birds, blue jays. So when you see

2348
02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:15,800

02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:33,400
Speaker 3: walk up, talk up. That's right. That was fun yesterday.

2356
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:36,680
Speaker 2: Wait Bowen did Stu Bowen did stew No.

2357
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:40,400

2358
02:07:40,480 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 10: going on and I like to bounce around too.

2359
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:43,520
Speaker 5: Now.

2360
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:45,520
Speaker 10: I wanted to give Query in Company a chance to

2361
02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:46,560
Speaker 10: shout out Quarrying Company.

2362
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,160
Speaker 3: It was fun. We had some fun talking up things

2363
02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:51,800
Speaker 3: and talking about you know, just I you in general,

2364
02:07:51,920 --> 02:07:54,480
Speaker 3: and yes, we did. You know, it's interesting John, I

2365
02:07:54,640 --> 02:08:00,840
Speaker 3: mentioned this earlier. Indiana and the Colts both kind of

2366
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:06,160
Speaker 3: feel similar in the form of we've gotten to the

2367
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:08,840
Speaker 3: point now where we just expect them to get out

2368
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:11,400
Speaker 3: and roll, and so when they do, it's almost boring,

2369
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:14,680
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And I mean it's not boring,

2370
02:08:14,760 --> 02:08:16,640
Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying. But yeah, in other words,

2371
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 3: you look at it and you just go, yeah, what

2372
02:08:18,680 --> 02:08:20,360
Speaker 3: we thought we did they'd do, you know what I mean?

2373
02:08:20,840 --> 02:08:24,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, especially against Tennessee. Yeah, they went from like

2374
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:26,400
Speaker 10: ten well was it ten to seven at one point

2375
02:08:26,480 --> 02:08:30,160
Speaker 10: something like that, and it went a big charge quickly, yeah, yeah,

2376
02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:32,920
Speaker 10: big hurry to a blowout.

2377
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Right.

2378
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:35,120
Speaker 3: It was unique in the first drive. You and I

2379
02:08:35,240 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 3: both were sitting up there yesterday and noticed it that.

2380
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:40,640
Speaker 3: And it's not like they abandoned him, so I can't

2381
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:44,920
Speaker 3: say that, but it was of note that they went

2382
02:08:44,960 --> 02:08:47,080
Speaker 3: to Jonathan Taylor right out of the box. He got

2383
02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:48,960
Speaker 3: a huge run, he had a huge hole, and then

2384
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:51,360
Speaker 3: they went like nine straight passes after that. I mean,

2385
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:52,960
Speaker 3: you want to talk about I guess I don't know

2386
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:54,360
Speaker 3: if they were just trying to keep things at bay.

2387
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 3: But you know you're kind of wondering, like, well, when

2388
02:08:59,160 --> 02:09:00,600
Speaker 3: are they going to go back to? And then once

2389
02:09:00,680 --> 02:09:04,400
Speaker 3: they do, you see obviously he is playing at a

2390
02:09:04,520 --> 02:09:08,320
Speaker 3: very high level. He is he is certainly MVP worthy.

2391
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:10,520
Speaker 3: I understand who is the Matt guy you had on

2392
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:14,040
Speaker 3: a minute ago, Matt Vert m Oh, yes, yes, good guy.

2393
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:19,280
Speaker 3: I I mean, listen, there's the debate. It probably just

2394
02:09:19,360 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 3: comes down to, like he mentioned, all right, how good

2395
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:25,560
Speaker 3: would they be with? How goould they be without?

2396
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 10: But I would also argue without Jonathan Taylor, they're drastically different,

2397
02:09:28,560 --> 02:09:31,720
Speaker 10: and maybe Daniel Jones isn't as good. Maybe the playbook

2398
02:09:31,760 --> 02:09:34,280
Speaker 10: closes up a little bit more with Shane Styking. Well

2399
02:09:34,320 --> 02:09:38,160
Speaker 10: you saw what you know when Jones didn't have saw Barkley. Yeah,

2400
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:41,440
Speaker 10: how things change for so sure, but now we're having

2401
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:44,160
Speaker 10: some fun unless you're of the Pacers. Although I think,

2402
02:09:44,760 --> 02:09:47,320
Speaker 10: surely am I going to get a chance to get

2403
02:09:47,360 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 10: a ten day or out of this?

2404
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:49,680
Speaker 3: Surely?

2405
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:52,400
Speaker 2: Right with my relationship with Chad.

2406
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:55,200
Speaker 3: Bu Cannon, Yeah, well he hasn't gotten didn't you weren't you?

2407
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:56,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't he trying to get you a pair of shoes

2408
02:09:56,680 --> 02:09:56,880
Speaker 3: or something.

2409
02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:59,440
Speaker 10: At one point I was trying to get Siakham had

2410
02:09:59,440 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 10: a pair of shoe that I wanted to Evidently they

2411
02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:04,360
Speaker 10: were just made for Sorry, they were just made for

2412
02:10:04,440 --> 02:10:05,480
Speaker 10: Sam Bad.

2413
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 3: Well god, dang, maybe maybe you should work that words. Look,

2414
02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:12,200
Speaker 3: spare the efforts on the shoes. Just get me at

2415
02:10:12,240 --> 02:10:13,760
Speaker 3: ten day. If you can play point right now, they'll

2416
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:14,240
Speaker 3: take you right.

2417
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2418
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:16,160
Speaker 10: I don't want to play point though, I want to

2419
02:10:16,200 --> 02:10:18,320
Speaker 10: play off the ball, but you know they do need Yeah,

2420
02:10:18,400 --> 02:10:20,360
Speaker 10: they I think see I can can still play a

2421
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:23,200
Speaker 10: little bit of point. That was what he was doing yesterday.

2422
02:10:23,240 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 2: You know what side of triple double.

2423
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it.

02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:30,280
Speaker 10: Stinks because they were They were right there last night.

2425
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:33,200
Speaker 10: If they could squeeze anything out of the way that's

2426
02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:36,720
Speaker 10: going right now when wise, But you also remember how

2427
02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 10: it was a year ago. Remember I know, back a

2428
02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:44,560
Speaker 10: third week of just Smith and it was awful then side.

2429
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:47,720
Speaker 10: But this is much more dire circumstances, no question.

Speaker 3: All right, John is up next. He will carry you
