1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,720 Speaker 1: We are back. 2 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 2: It is Colts Corner with myself, Kevin Bowen talking about 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 2: a three and oh football team. 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Out of the bullpen we go. 5 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 2: He is very pleased with how his Chicago Bears played 6 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: in Week three. He is the one, the only Mark 7 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: Dyketon here on this Monday morning. Mark, good to see you, 8 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 2: Good morning. Thank you for having me. 9 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: Oh, that was impressive by your Bears yesterday. 10 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 3: Thank you. Yes, that was nice. That was a nice 11 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 3: change of pace. As I was saying, my daughters were 12 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 3: shocked that I was yelling as much as I was, 13 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: like usually you're saying other words. I'm like, no, these 14 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 3: are actually positive words. These aren't the four letter words. 15 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: Yeah right, I don't say ear muffs usually. 16 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 17 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: Very impressive by the Bears and very impressive certainly by 18 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: the Colts. And we will get into everything right here 19 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: and what I liked and what I didn't like from 20 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: a forty one to twenty win and Mark, I just 21 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: want to start overall here for a second. You know, 22 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: we talked last week this kind of handle your business 23 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: type of game. You know, I don't think there are 24 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 2: grand takeaways necessarily within the game that maybe will apply 25 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: to January. But the NFL brings up these games on 26 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: the schedule, and it's your job to be disciplined, to 27 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: take care of business. And if you look around the league, 28 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: yesterday at the Green Bay Packers, much to your pleasure, 29 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: did not do that. The New York Jets almost did 30 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: the same thing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So it's 31 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: not a given you win these games, and it's not 32 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: a given you win them by this amount. And I 33 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: think that's probably the thing I'll start with that really 34 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: stands out. You know, the Colts have played plenty of 35 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: bad teams, plenty of rookie quarterbacks in recent years, and 36 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: I would say for the most part, they played that competition. 37 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: And if you look at the first three weeks of 38 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: this season, I wanted to keep it, try and keep 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: it as elementary as I could, but I wanted to 40 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: look up, all right, at least thirty points scored in 41 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: a game and win by at least twenty. You know, 42 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: you go back to Week one, thirty three to eight. 43 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: I think it was the final there yesterday, of course, 44 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: forty one to twenty. The Colts have done that twice 45 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: in the first three weeks. They hadn't done that at all. 46 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: In the twenty twenty four season. They hadn't done that 47 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: at all in the twenty twenty three season, and done 48 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: that at all in the twenty twenty two seon, So 49 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: you got to go back three plus years for when 50 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: they've done it once, and now they've done it twice 51 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: in the first three weeks. So that to me really 52 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: stands out. And yeah, let me bigger picture. 53 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I get it. 54 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: You face three teams that are what a combined one 55 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: and eight, and the one wins Tennessee. 56 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: You play the teams that are on the schedule. That's 57 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: what I was telling people. You can only play the 58 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: teams you're playing. So yes, they're not very good, but 59 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: you're also if they lost to any of them, we'd 60 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 3: be saying a lot different things. 61 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: Sure, and again you're beating the piss really out of 62 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: a couple of these teams. To me, Miami is probably 63 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: a little bit more dominant than yesterday was. But nonetheless 64 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: you still score forty one points in an NFL game 65 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: with the missfield goal. That certainly stands out to me. 66 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: So again, the most points scored by any colts steam 67 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: through three weeks. I saw stat the NFL just sent 68 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: out I want to say, the stats said, it's them 69 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: in the seven Patriots. 70 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: That's the undefeated. 71 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: Patriots to have gone three weeks at three and OHO 72 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: with less than five punts. And again the Colts only 73 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: have oon punt yeah. 74 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Here through three weeks. 75 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: So all the stats are extremely impressive, particularly on the 76 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. So just kind of wanted 77 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: a big picture start because it's a road game, it's 78 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: a divisional win, those are obviously very important. That to me, 79 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: along with the continued success you're seeing, especially offensively, does matter. 80 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 2: And I also can't wait for Sunday Colts and Rams 81 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: and what I think will be one of the marquee 82 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: games a week four. 83 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we all agree that the 84 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: Titans are hot and garbage, but still Daniel Jones has 85 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: continued to impress through these three weeks. I think he's 86 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: handled Shane Stikeens. He might compliment Shane Stikeens offense better 87 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: than anybody. Like they just seem like they are totally 88 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: in sync right now with what they want to do 89 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: and how they want to move the football. Obviously got 90 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor just knocking people out with three touchdowns and 91 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: everything like that. They did what they wanted to do 92 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: yesterday and it was more than impressive. And now you 93 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: get the true I think, the first true test of 94 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: the NFL season for the cold when you take on 95 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: the Rams in LA. 96 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: And before you get to what I liked and what 97 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: I didn't like, let's stick right there to a comment 98 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: you just made. You said something the effect if he 99 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: compliments Shane Stikeen really well, I think that's well said. 100 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: Shane Stikeen is the biggest football nerd I've ever met 101 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: in my life, and I think Daniel Jones offers some 102 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: of that back and forth and can take that on 103 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: the football field and do it in a little bit 104 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: more of a skill set than maybe Shane Styken could 105 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: have a UNOV or something like that. And I do 106 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: think that matters. The chess game, I think is really important. 107 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: Do I think there's probably a defined ceiling to like 108 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: out chess matching everybody, Yeah, I do, But like you know, 109 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: there's probably an element of Tom Brady did a lot 110 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 2: of chess in over his years and it clearly worked 111 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: at a really high level. So the Colts I think 112 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: walk into most games the better team ex as and 113 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: os wise, particularly offensively, and I think Daniel Zones allow 114 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: Shane Stiken to get into some of the weeds that 115 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: he wants to. Hey, here's three plays in the line scrimmage. 116 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: Hey they're doing this, this and this in the red zone. 117 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: If you see this pre snap boom work checking here, 118 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: whereas with Anthony Richardson or even other quarterbacks, you maybe 119 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: have had to be a little bit more on the 120 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: reserve side of it. And whether it's Daniel Jones at 121 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: nine pm on a Friday text and Shane Styke in 122 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: this or the Saturday team meeting gets over at the 123 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: hotel and Daniel Jones tells the skill group, Hey, don't 124 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 2: go to your rooms. We got one more thing to 125 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: go over. Like that aspect to him, I think you're 126 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: scene play out. It might not be obvious when you 127 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: watch the games, but I do think you're seeing some of 128 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: that play. 129 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 3: Have you seen like like Shane Steiken and Daniel Jones 130 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: are kind of similar personality wise where they don't give 131 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 3: you a lot, They're almost kind of I've called them 132 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: football robots and everything like that. Have you seen the 133 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: social media stuff where they put phones together and the 134 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: AI talks to each other. That's why I think Shane 135 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: Stike and Daniel Jones are doing the AI is communicating together. 136 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: They're getting in sync, like, oh, you're a robot, I'm 137 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: a robot and we're working together. 138 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: By the way, Max Bone got some WALKI to keyes 139 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: for his birthday. Huh A good idea or a bad idea. 140 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: It's better than the drum set I was suggesting. So yeah, 141 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: I would say I would say walkie talkies are fine. 142 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: My daughters have some that are that are at grandma 143 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: and Grandpa's for good reason because when they get them, 144 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 2: they don't go the distance away. They're right next to 145 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: each other, so you get all the static and the feedback. 146 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so make sure they're at a safe distance. But yeah, 147 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: we've had that. 148 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: A safe distance might be the trash here in the 149 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. 150 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: I know, I know my parents are like here you 151 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: go like, no, no, these are staying at your house. 152 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: These are not at our house at all. 153 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still trying to sift through that. Okay, what 154 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: was the first thing I liked? 155 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: First thing he liked? Unsurprisingly, Jonathan Taylor three touchdowns. 156 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the man we had on our show this morning. 157 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: We'll either throw that in on this podcast or throw 158 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: it in on the Wednesday Pod. But you know, I thought, 159 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: to me, mark the Taylor effort through the first two 160 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: and a half quarters, it was rather hole hum twelve carries. 161 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: I think it was fortyish yards. You know, you really 162 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: hadn't seen the big play yet. And then he rips 163 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: off the forty six yard or I think it's up 164 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: there with any Taylor run I've seen. Obviously it's a 165 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: play Shane Styke and was just oozing about late in 166 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: the week of like I cannot wait to run this play. 167 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: Tyler Warren is the lead fullback at Old School, you know, 168 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: he was foaming at the mouth waiting for it, and 169 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: sure enough, boom. 170 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: That's where they deploy it. 171 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: And Taylor has the cut and then the spin which 172 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: is not really his game, you know those games, not 173 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: really a spin move type of you know runner, and 174 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: then he runs through those couple of arm tackles for 175 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: the touchdown. Like I think Jonathan Taylor's headed to Canton. 176 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: I think right now he has had a Hall of 177 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: Fame start to his career, and assuming nothing crazy happens, 178 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: I think he will be a Hall of Famer one day. 179 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: That's one of those runs that will be on the 180 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: real and I thought the last touchdown run, I'm gonna 181 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: show my Notre Dame bias here, But Jeremiah Love had 182 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: a like a two yard touchdown run in the playoff 183 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: against Penn State. That touchdown run by Taylor kind of 184 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 2: reminded me of that You're breaking a couple tackles getting 185 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: the you know, the pads are low. Just extra effort 186 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: frankly for that third and final touchdown to really ice 187 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: the game, although I thought the forty six yard are 188 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: probably iced it. 189 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: You heard it here first Jeremiah Love and Jonathan Taylor 190 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 3: Hall of famers. 191 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: Well then putty words in my mouth, yep, But it 192 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: was just it was damn impressive from Taylor. You know, 193 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: at times maybe he doesn't have as many of the 194 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: highlight reel runs, but you know he's had a couple 195 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: of the sixty eight yarder making the guy missed in 196 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: the backfield, you know, back against Denver, and he seems rejuvenated. Yes, 197 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: I would say that, And you know I brought up 198 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: the stat on our morning show today. So far through 199 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 2: three weeks, it's one of the wilder discrepancies I've seen 200 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: from first half success the second half success. 201 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: In the first half. 202 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: Through three games, Taylor's averaging three point four yards per 203 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 2: carry thirty five carries for one hundred and eighteen yards. 204 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: In the second half, He's averaging eight point eight yards 205 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: per carry, a five nearly a five and a half 206 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: yard difference from one half to the next. And like, 207 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: you know, some might say, wow, the six eight yard 208 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: yard excuse things, now the forty six yard scus things, 209 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 2: But that's who Taylor is. His stamina is here, and 210 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: defensive players, I'm going lower and lower and lower, Mark 211 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: because now the arm tackle is softer and it's not 212 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: as ver you know, violence if you will, as it 213 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: was in the first half. That to me is what 214 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: makes Taylor truly unique. You know, I go back to 215 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: that Houston game a couple of years ago to end 216 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: the season. I mean, he was so good in that game. 217 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: I always think that's kind of an underappreciated game from him. 218 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: But I wanted to mention Taylor first. I just thought individually, 219 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't a there's just a little bit 220 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: of a lull before that forty six yard run. Tennessee 221 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: was kind of moving the ball pretty good, and for 222 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: him to rip that off just was another reminder of 223 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: his home run ability there, because that run could have 224 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 2: gone for ten fifteen, and you know it would have 225 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: been a nice run. But you know then you're back 226 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: kind in the high red zone and you're thinking, oh boy, 227 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: or the Colt's gonna fit off this drive. No, no, no, 228 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: takes it all the way, game ball. Jonathan Taylor another 229 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 2: guy you like Daniel Jones. 230 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, Mark, it's. 231 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: It's staying away from the negatives, and like, I know, 232 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: that's not the sexiest thing in the world. 233 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 234 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I'm describing the old uh well, 235 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: you know, she had a great personality on the date. 236 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 2: But I think this matters more. You know, we're gonna 237 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: watch the Many Cast, and I believe you just told 238 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: me before the podcast that Daniel. 239 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Jones gonna make an appearance on the Many cast tonight. 240 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones should be thoroughly entertaining, right. 241 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 2: So that's little Peyton Eli with Raven's Lions, correct, Yeah, yeah, 242 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: second quarter for Daniel Jones. Definitely typically always watched the 243 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: Many Cast, but I'll definitely be watching it tonight. You know, 244 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: Peyton says something quite often on that Many Cast, a 245 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: big big job of a quarterback is don't make a 246 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: bad play worse. And I'm gonna bring up a play 247 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: from yesterday that I thought kind of epitomized that the 248 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: third and four near midfield they had they had just 249 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: you know, it was still one of those kind of 250 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: close game twenty seven to thirteen if you have to 251 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: punt here, you know, again Tennessee's offense, and Tennessee had 252 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: those five straight drives for they got an indie territory. 253 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: It's one of those things where it's like, all. 254 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 2: Right, you know, they probably need one more score to 255 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: really get into the game. And to kind of take 256 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: Michael Pittman's you know, postgame comments of yeah, they didn't 257 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: look ready to play pregame and kind of say, oh wow, 258 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: maybe they are going to show up because we've let 259 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: him back in the game. But it was a third 260 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: and four and the play designed up isn't going anywhere, 261 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: and instead of an incompletion, instead of a sack, instead 262 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 2: of a throwaway, Jones dumps it over to Michael or 263 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: to Jonathan Taylor and the play netted three yards. 264 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: So again, it's not going to show up in any 265 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: highlight reel. 266 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: It's not going to really impress many people from a 267 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: box score standpoint, but it allowed you to get to 268 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: fourth and one, and obviously Shane Styken goes for it 269 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: and boom, QB sneak it and then you score off 270 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: of that sort of possession. That's what I'm talking about 271 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: mark of like the no interceptions and then in the 272 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: two sacks and three games incredible stats, but it's also 273 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 2: the just don't give up on it and throw it 274 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: away because three yards, you know, the old Navy Army 275 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 2: football of hey, we got four downs to get those 276 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: ten yards. That really applies to Shane ssykeh and the 277 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: simple stuff like that. And again it's not like Taylor 278 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: broke a tackle or like you know, he hit a 279 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: nice run, but nothing crazy there to get three yards, 280 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: that's what's really standing out to me. I thought, obviously 281 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 2: Joanes shut off his legs a little bit. 282 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: The third and. 283 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: Seven Houdini act was pretty darn impressive there in the 284 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: first quarter to scramble there. I would like to see 285 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: him slide a little bit more given his injury history, 286 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: but still standing away from the negatives, that's that's been 287 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: an issue for him in his career and for him 288 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: to have done that through the first three weeks. 289 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: Huge. 290 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 3: He's helped Shane Stike and keep the entire playbook open. 291 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 3: That's how I describe it. He hasn't cost them where 292 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 3: they he's going like, boy, we got to pick up 293 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: third in forever here, now I got to reach in 294 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: my bag of tricks. No, he's kept the whole playbook 295 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: open for the all three games so far. 296 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would add this too, Mark. He also 297 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: keeps everyone involved in the route tree. Like when you 298 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: think about the Denver game, Taylor had a couple of 299 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: just Denver bust out of the backfield and boom, there's Taylor. 300 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: And he's you know, having a huge gain. 301 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: Like those things also stand out to me of you know, 302 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 2: don't forget about the third and fourth option in the 303 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: progression because they might be you know, a huge, huge 304 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: deal in helping you, you know again, stay ahead of 305 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: the chains. Be a little bit more of the methodical 306 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 2: nature to it, you know, go back to our baseball analogy, 307 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: you know, singles and doubles. I said to the guys 308 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: on the show today, what was the most impressive Daniel 309 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: Jones pass from yesterday? And it was met with some 310 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: pause and to me he had some impressive throws. I 311 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: don't want to act like he didn't, but you would 312 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: say cam Ward had the flashier playmaker. 313 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 314 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: But yet Daniel Jones ends the day with that quarterback 315 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: rating because he stays away from the negatives. If you're 316 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: taking two of these drives that are going sixty yards 317 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: and you're either throwing them to the other team or 318 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 2: again taking a sack or just an incompletion, sets up 319 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: a little bit of third and longer. That changes the 320 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: whole complexion of those drives, potentially a score, potentially game flow. 321 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: So I thought we too. He impressed me more with 322 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: kind of the Sunday Big League throws. And again I 323 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: get that Tennessee is struggling defensively. Offensively, they're really struggling, 324 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: but defensively they are struggling a little bit as well, 325 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: and we're missing some guys. 326 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: The fact that you're staying away from the negatives just 327 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: a huge recipe for success. 328 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: All right, last thing you liked sticking on the offensive side, 329 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: the offensive line. 330 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: We don't give the hog Molley's enough credit. We don't. 331 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: I this might just be like a three week thing mark, 332 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: but we just don't give them enough credit. So two 333 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: sacks and eighty eight pass attempts. You know, if you 334 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: look at that Taylor run, and obviously Tyler Warren had 335 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: a lot to do with it. I mean, Taylor wasn't 336 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: even touched through the first you know, seven eight nine 337 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: yards of that run that's ahead of steam. He's able 338 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: to get there on that toss play. So I think 339 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: you got to give the O line some credit. Again, 340 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: it might be more of a three week thing and 341 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: just a hat tip to them, but they're allowing so 342 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: much of this to happen. I do think Jones has 343 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: showed me more poison under duress when when duress has 344 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: been there, then I thought was there. You know, he 345 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: had what twenty probably six twenty seven dropbacks and only 346 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: only hit twice, so you know that. You know, of 347 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: course he scrambled a couple times, but that also stands 348 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: out to me. So I want to make sure we 349 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: single out the offensive line all right. 350 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: Time to switch the things you didn't like, hard to 351 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 3: not hard to find things in a twenty one point 352 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: in victory that you didn't like. But there are a couple, 353 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 3: and you said, the overall defensive effort by the Colts defense. 354 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me start here. 355 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: I do think when you're defending a rookie quarterback, particularly 356 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: one of Camboard's kind of backyard of football, it's a 357 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: very unique game plan that you might not use the 358 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: rest of the year. Having said that, I don't think 359 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: the sixty minute execution was maybe at the level that 360 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: you would have liked it to be. Some might say 361 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm nitpicking here, but you know, it's the best Tennessee's 362 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: moved it all year. It's the most points they scored 363 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: all year, and they still had what two miss field 364 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: goals and just some wild decision making frankly in general 365 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: by Brian. 366 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 3: If it wasn't for their own buffoonery, Like there was 367 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: times where I'm like, if they were a better team, 368 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: this could have been a little more closely contested. 369 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are as inept on the sidelines from a 370 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: coaching standpoint as our talent wise. Yeah, I mean, it's 371 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: just that was I think Brian Callahan was a person 372 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: that you know, the Colts almost hired. Is like kind 373 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: of wild. It's just like, wow, can you imagine you know, 374 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: watching you know, Shane Styke can operate versus Brian cat 375 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: I see why the Titans. I've lost nine in a row. Yeah, yeah, 376 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: I guess is what I'm getting out here. So you know, 377 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: I know, the four sacks are the four sacks, and 378 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: the run defense a little bit better, but I still 379 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 2: just have some bigger picture concerns about this defense. And again, 380 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: Tennessee had those five straight drives there mark in the 381 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: middle of the game where they all got to Indie territory, 382 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: two missfield goals, two touchdowns and a field goal. Again, 383 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: that's not if your offense wasn't as humming as much, 384 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 2: then you know, that could have been, to your point, 385 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a of a competitive game. Obviously, 386 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: the Kenny Moore picked six, you know, Kenny just seemingly 387 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: is always in the right spot at the right time. 388 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: But like they'll not act like that was some you know, 389 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: heroic defensive play there. That was largely a roocky mistake. 390 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: Now cam Ward stared his guy down. Sure, Now again 391 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: you got him into a third and nine, and you know, 392 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: a lot too lined up as like a middle linebacker 393 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: on that play. Maybe that confused Ward a little bit there, 394 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: But you know, I guess I just don't want to 395 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: overreact too much really, either way, with this defense. I 396 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: think it's fine after three weeks for you too, I 397 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: have some questions about this defense. You know, I think 398 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: week one certainly was very impressive. Week two that's kind 399 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: of a regression of the mean. Week three, I'd call 400 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 2: it a mixed bag. So maybe it's not like what 401 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 2: I didn't like, but I just thought for their own execution, 402 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 2: you know, twenty points in that amount of movement not 403 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: a great performance from the defense. And weirdly, lou and 404 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 2: Rumo had kind of had a mixed bag against rookie 405 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in his career. You would think with the exotic 406 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: nature to Lou like, he would be better against rookies. 407 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: So you know, I don't really know what to make 408 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 2: of that stat frankly, but you know, cam Board definitely 409 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: had some success, and you know he misses what a 410 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: cock wall, you know, on that opening drive over the middle. 411 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 2: I mean, that could have been obviously a big play 412 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: into a scoring rang. So just a little bit of 413 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: a mixed bag, and certainly the opposition will be much 414 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: different Grant and Matthew Stafford hasn't had great. 415 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: Success against louand Room in his career. 416 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: But I think the Rams are a much different challenge 417 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: and they'll they'll take advantage of some of your mistake 418 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: if you do make. 419 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 3: Them another thing, no, no fan of any team. Let's see, 420 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: injuries was one thing you didn't like. Yeah, so Alex Pearson, 421 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 3: Kenny Moore, the two Mooney war did come back in 422 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: the game before they put in the reserves there late. 423 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: But you know, Kenny Moore has the calf. Alec Pierce 424 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: the concussion. I think this is at least the second, 425 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: if not the third concussion for Pearson his career. So 426 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: you know, obviously concussions are bad. 427 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: And the absence typically is right around a week or so. 428 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: You know, Mooney's wards was a week. I'd mentioned this 429 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: mark because they're both so unique players, like you know, 430 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: Kenny's injury in a vacuum a calf probably could be 431 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 2: a little bit more multiple week, and you know, you 432 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: hope obviously it's only a calf. You know, sometimes you 433 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: get in that area of the leg and you really 434 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: start worrying about things. But both of them are just 435 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: unique players for their side of the ball. You know, 436 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: Alex Pearce has shown I still think he called that 437 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: deep ball yesterday. I didn't really understand the whole explanation 438 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 2: of it. 439 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: But that was his best throw of the game in 440 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 3: my opinion. Daniel Jones and I'm like, how did that 441 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: knock out? 442 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: And Pierce just always comes down with that, but he's 443 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: also doing more of the other stuff, kind of rounding 444 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 2: out that route tree. So his absence, I think you 445 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: have to defend the Colts totally different when he's on 446 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: the field versus when he's off. He helps you kind 447 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: of keep that other safety back and that allows Jonathan Taylor, 448 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: you know, maybe to get into the second level a 449 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: little bit easier. And then with Kenny, it kind of 450 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: goes without saying. You know, how many times do you 451 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: see Kenny right there? 452 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: He's right there? 453 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: I mean, he's right there to make that play when 454 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: cam Ward has a mistake, And again, what's your slot corner? 455 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: Is it? 456 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: Makai Blackman? 457 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: He's been playing some dime, you know that gets stressed 458 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: when you're playing Pukunukua and Devonte Adams and company. So 459 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: just a couple of injuries to watch. I would call 460 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 2: each of them two of the more unique players to 461 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: their respective sides of the ball. And so I think 462 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: that's why I do bring that up here you know, 463 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: the Colts had gone about six or seven quarters mark 464 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: without an endgame injury. I mean they had been remarkably healthy. 465 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: You know, all fifty three cults were healthy for Sunday. 466 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: So they've had a great injury situation, great health report, 467 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: I should say, through the first three weeks here, which 468 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: you know, it's important to take advantage of that which 469 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 2: they are. 470 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 3: All right, unless you got anything else, we'll move to 471 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: Twitter questions. 472 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: Let's do it all right. 473 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 3: Raj starts us off today, he said, couldn't help but 474 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 3: be a little upset with one of the commentators questioning 475 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 3: the legitimacy of the cults success so far. I just 476 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 3: want to know yours and Mark's opinions and how for 477 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 3: real this Colts team is their words, not mine. Thanks 478 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 3: is always, and keep up this splendiferous work. That's a 479 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 3: fun word. Come again with this splendiferous Wow? 480 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: Is that real? 481 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: I read it as it's written, so yeah, Well, shout 482 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 3: out to Raj for that must be on the word calendar. 483 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: And a little different sat English mentioned for Raj than 484 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: you and I I think back in the day there, 485 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I'll start here, Roj. These NFL 486 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: shows are be big, b grand, be bold. I don't 487 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: know a lot of that just sounds awful to me. 488 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: I I sit here and say, the Cold are doing 489 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: stuff they've never done before, never done. And you know, 490 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: I've mentioned some of the stats already, and I go 491 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: back to kind of what I said leading end of 492 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: the season. The Colts are banking on three things that 493 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: are going to be different quarterback play, pass catching, and 494 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: defense and Mark let's just let's grade those on a 495 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 2: one to ten scale, How positively different has the quarterback 496 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 2: play been, the pass catching and the defense. On a 497 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: one to ten, I'd argue quarterback is like at an eight. 498 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I thought immediately. 499 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: Pass catching I'd say six, maybe higher. 500 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, because he didn't change too many people out Warren right, obviously, right, 501 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 3: he's been the difference. But other than that, it's been 502 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 3: cutting pace. Pall like those guys are catching the football 503 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: like Michael Pittman Jr. With the back is different, and 504 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 3: Alex Pierce has shown more of the route in tree 505 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: and like aighty Mitchell I think has shown competency when 506 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: you've thrown him the football. And then lastly defense, I 507 00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: mean that's probably the lowest one. 508 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: I'd say it's I don't know, maybe like a four 509 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: difference on a one to ten scale, one being like 510 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: one being like the exact same as last year. So 511 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: you know, when all three of those are in the 512 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: positive and the most important one, quarterback is in the 513 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: uber positive, you know, how do you sit here and 514 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: act like this is the same old song and Dan 515 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: so again, challenges are going to increase. And you know, 516 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: I actually was talking about this to Matty last night, 517 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: like She's like, wow, Colts have only played three games, 518 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: like it seems like it's so much more. You know, 519 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: may because it's been so different. But you know, if 520 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: they did the whole NBA thing, where would we be 521 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 2: at right now? Would we even be at the end 522 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 2: of the first quarter of a game? 523 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: You know? 524 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 2: So like and you know, insert a pacer playoff game 525 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 2: here to watch how much a game can change. The 526 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 2: NFL is a grind, is what I'm saying, a seventeen 527 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 2: week grind. So sustaining it is such a challenge, and yes, 528 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 2: you can't ignore them. I'm not gonna sit here and 529 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 2: ignore the schedule. You've played three teams that are combined 530 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: one at eight and one win is over the Titans. 531 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 2: Having said that, go back to what I said earlier 532 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: in the show, Find Me Times the Culture winning forty 533 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: one to twenty, Find Me Times the Culture winning thirty 534 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 2: three to eight. Yes, more challenges will be there, better challenges, 535 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: better barometers, all of that, But the cults are running 536 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: away from some of these teams in fashions that we 537 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: haven't seen in years. 538 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: I would say they answer Roger's questions as well. Why 539 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: the commentators were questioning the cult success. I think it's just, 540 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 3: in my opinion, it's because the cultures kind of go 541 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: under the radar nationally for the most part, like no 542 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: one really thought they were going to be anything, and 543 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: considering who their opponents were through the first three weeks, 544 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 3: I can understand there's some skepticism, but there's no argument 545 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: the points that they're putting up there. You were beating 546 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 3: bad teams, and you're beating them thoroughly, so any other 547 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 3: I mean, the Chiefs did that maybe, you know, slurping 548 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes more than they already do, and all that stuff. 549 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 3: By the way, splendiferous, by the way, having great beauty 550 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 3: and splendor. There you go. 551 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad you went there. I don't know if I 552 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: could go slurping Patrick Mahomes. 553 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 3: Well, Chris Collins wheth even when a backwards pass was 554 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 3: going yesterday, he was like, oh it was that was 555 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: a great play by Patrick Mahomes. Got a love that 556 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: he dove on that one. He threw it backwards past twice. Terrible. 557 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: Keep that up. I don't have to drag Eddy Garrison 558 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: back in the studio. 559 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: All right, Let's move on to Cameron Slash Craig. How 560 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 3: worried are you about the pass rush? I know they 561 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 3: got four sacks against a weak Tennessee offensive line, but 562 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 3: Tennessee was in clear pass mode for most of the game. 563 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: Love the pod, yeah, I would say in general, and 564 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: obviously we got a couple of these questions. I am 565 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: worried about the pass rush right now. Traditional four man 566 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: rush now, obviously you want to see lots and lots 567 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: too play a good amount of stap testday. To me, 568 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: the pass rush plan yesterday, it's just so different, Like 569 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: I think I talked about on Wednesday's pot, I go 570 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 2: actually think the Colts will do a good chop on 571 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: camboard because I think there's such a bad edge rush 572 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: team with speed, they'll just bull rush their way to 573 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: keeping cam board in the pop get and like you know, 574 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: for the most part, they did a nice. 575 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: Job with that. 576 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: It's more of the you know, with a guy like 577 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 2: Stafford Mark, you want Law to screaming around the edge 578 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 2: to where Stafford has to step up, and that's where 579 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: ninety nine and ninety make their plays. And the Rams 580 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: have been banged up in their ow line interior this season, 581 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 2: so that's where you want to kind of feast with him. 582 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 2: So that is a question that I have through three weeks. 583 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: You know, where's your pass rush? And one thing I 584 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: do think you have to feel encouraged about Louannrumo. He's 585 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: shown in his career you know he is willing to 586 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: disrupt from both sides of it, rush and cover, and 587 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: I thought a couple of sacks yesterday probably started more 588 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 2: with cover than they did rush. But if you're willing 589 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: to play press and you're willing to do some of 590 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: that stuff, you know, again you're going to be more inclined. 591 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say right now that is one 592 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: of the bigger concerns I have is you know, can 593 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: your pass rush have that kind of natural feel to it? 594 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: Because I don't I don't feel that really through the 595 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: first three weeks of this season. 596 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 3: All right, Next up, Matt slash Collin says, all right, Kevin, 597 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: I feel like you're the only one that's been through 598 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 3: it with me. Are the Colts legit yet? Or do 599 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 3: we need to see a few more weeks? 600 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: Boy, there is nothing committing to anything in the month 601 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: of September in the NFL is probably dumb. And I 602 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: was trying to think about this on the drive end 603 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: this morning. 604 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Mark. If you look at the past few. 605 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: Years, what the Colts have done in September has largely 606 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: been what they have been, you know, twenty twenty three, 607 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 2: law twenty twenty two, actually twenty twenty two, that might 608 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: have beat the Chiefs in September. 609 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: I'd have to go back to that. 610 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: I believe you're correct there. I think that was a 611 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: week three win. 612 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four, you know, again kind of bligh in 613 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: those seasons largely were that, you know, you go back 614 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty Rivers' year, Colts actually start off pretty 615 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: slow and then rattled off a ton and so that 616 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: would be the reverse in a positive direction. Twenty nineteen 617 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 2: would probably be the reverse in the negative direction. Twenty 618 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: nineteen's when you started five and two and then it 619 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: fell off a cliff for you there. So you know, 620 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: do we need to see a few more weeks? Yes, 621 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: you know, And I can also sit and say what 622 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 2: the Colts have done through three weeks is very impressive. 623 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: But if I'm going to start saying here, Santa Clara, 624 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 2: do we. 625 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: Need to get an airbnb? 626 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: Neither near there in early February, I think you got 627 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 2: to see a few more weeks. 628 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: You know. 629 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: It's I do find Sunday to be a great, great test, 630 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: but and I don't think you're gonna have you know, 631 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior has quotes after the game on Sunday 632 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: of yeah, I mean they kind of look sluggish. They 633 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 2: weren't really bouncing around pregame right then we looked at 634 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: each other and said they don't want to play today. 635 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna say that about the Rams 636 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: no coming up set that, particularly with how their game 637 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: ended against the Eagles. So you know, whether it's the 638 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: Rams today, whether it's you know, Arizona's had a nice 639 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: start to the season. You're gonna see Calum Murtny a 640 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 2: few weeks, Whether it's the Chargers. Certain in a little 641 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: bit of time. I think the back half of the 642 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: schedule offers some nice challenges as well. You know, the 643 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: only divisional game between now in December you play is 644 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 2: Tennessee again. 645 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know what is is Jacksonville gott You know, 646 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: right now, Jacksonville's a game back. 647 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: You know, are they going to be lurking when you 648 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 2: play them twice in the final month of the season there. So, look, 649 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: the Colts have had a great, great start to the season. 650 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: You know, I know, no chance in hell would I 651 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 2: have thought they would well record wise, two and one, 652 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: three and oh okay, maybe it's not that big of 653 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: a difference, but never already guess they would look like 654 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: this right you know, to the offense particularly and Jones 655 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: particularly humming to the level that he is in. And 656 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: right now I feel very comfortable in saying yeah to me, 657 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: right now, they got to be the AFC South favorite. 658 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: But again, seventeen weeks it's a grind. It's a grind. 659 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 2: But you know, if you ask me right here on 660 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: September twenty second, I'd be surprised if they weren't a 661 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: playoff team, Like not only are they in good AFC 662 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: South standing. They continue to be a nice like wildcar positioned. 663 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: That's where as it. 664 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 2: Sound, they've won three AFC games, Like, that's sneakily important 665 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: if you lose on Sundays to an NFC team, right, like, 666 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 2: it's not the end of the world there, So, but 667 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: to commit to anything bigger than that. 668 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll let somebody else do that right now. 669 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna wait. I do think they are legit obviously, 670 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 3: the numbers that they're putting up as far as like 671 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 3: where they place in the AFC. Talk to me after 672 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: the Chargers game in mid October, I feel like that's 673 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 3: gonna be a good Barama. 674 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: What's that stretch between now and the Chargers. 675 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 3: It is at Rams and then back to back home 676 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: games between the Raiders and Cardinals, and then at Chargers 677 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 3: on October nineteenth, And that's right before the Titans come 678 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: to Lucas Oil and before you head to Pittsburgh take 679 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: on the Steelers in November. So there's a stretch coming 680 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 3: up in November to December that'll be pretty interesting because 681 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: you have home against the Titans, at Steelers home against 682 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 3: the Falcons. That's the Berlin game, and then at the 683 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 3: Chiefs home against the Texans, at the Jaguars, at the Seahawks. 684 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: There's a stretch there and the forty nine Ers as well. 685 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 3: So there's a stretch near the end of the season 686 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 3: where you were going to really get tested week in 687 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: and week out to really see. But if you can 688 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 3: get out of the Chargers game relatively unscathed and you 689 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: might be having five six wins, maybe at that point 690 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 3: you're looking pretty good. 691 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, when you just. 692 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: Rattle off that schedule, we could say at the end 693 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: of the year, this three game stretch was their easiest, 694 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: but still Mayday's wins are And boy isn't it crazy? 695 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: How just week two? That end of the week two game. 696 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: Can you imagine being a Denver fan right now in 697 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 2: a last six weeks stomach lost? Oh man, six your 698 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 2: stomach crazy? 699 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, the cult schedule is somewhat of 700 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: a I do want to say cakewalk because is the NFL. 701 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: But as far as making hay while you can, this 702 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 3: is the time to do it because that stretch in 703 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 3: November and December, the level of opponent and the level 704 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 3: of stakes that will be on those games is going 705 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 3: to ratch it up big time. So naturally, if you 706 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 3: can pad those if you can pad those standings right now, 707 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 3: your three games clear of the Texans. Right now, they 708 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 3: look like a dead team walking. So if you can 709 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 3: pad those stats and standings before you get to that 710 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 3: meet to the schedule, you're pretty golden if you're Shane 711 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 3: Steiken's crew. 712 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: And look, naturally, you're gonna have some injuries, right I mean, 713 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 2: the Colts just played a football game where all fifty 714 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: three dudes were healthy. I mean that does not happen 715 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: very often at any point in the season. So you know, 716 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: if you start to get some injuries naturally, that's going 717 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: to impact things too. 718 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, so can you go five and two, six and 719 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: one those first seven games, you'll really be making some 720 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: hey if you go there, all right? Last one on 721 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 3: the Twitter questions is Curtis and Hank both asked, was 722 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 3: up with JT. Tulamol Allow a healthy scratch? Surely he 723 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 3: can be better than Ebucom who seems lost love the pod. 724 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 3: Thanks guys. 725 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, healthy scratch for the second round pick 726 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: out of Ohio State. I'd rather see him than Sampson 727 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: Obcom right now, I guess just to put it, Yeah, succinctly. 728 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: You know, again to go back to what lou Anarumo 729 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 2: said after Week one, Uh, some games will have more 730 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: defensive tackles up Tennessee more of a run team with 731 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: Tony Pollard, so they had the extra defensive tackle for 732 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: that game versus the extra defensive end. I'm looking at 733 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: my snap counts right now just to see how much 734 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: that extra defensive tackle played. I don't know, maybe the 735 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 2: heat and rotated a little bit. You got eleven snaps 736 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: for Eric Johnson, so that's your fifth defensive tackle versus 737 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: you know, having that extra and again one of those 738 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: tackles play special teams which helps and out of Tom 739 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 2: out of bar A. But yeah, you know with JT. 740 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: What is also surprising to be Marcus, he's not your 741 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: second round pick. That was some project. Sometimes you get 742 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: these like flashy trait pass rusher that doesn't have a 743 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: lot of college production, but you're like, wow, did you 744 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: see what he did? And he you know, played in 745 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 2: the SEC on a loaded defensive line. If we just 746 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: expand his role and he grows whatever more in his body, 747 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 2: you know we can get there and and you kind 748 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: of commit to the early red shirt. That's not this 749 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 2: at all. You know, he was a highly highly productive 750 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 2: player at Ohio State versatile. I think you've shown that 751 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 2: a little bit in the NFL. So that's what's kind 752 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 2: of surprising. And we do know lou Ana Rumo's kind 753 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: of shied away from playing young guys in Cincinnati, So 754 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: you know, is that at play here maybe? So just 755 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 2: some things to keeping on, But right now I'm just 756 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: not seeing it from some You know, Taekwon Lewis, I'm 757 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 2: totally fine with. But to me, Epcom's a one again 758 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 2: right now, Lots and Quity Pay. It's been a very 759 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 2: quiet start to his season two in the past rush department. 760 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: But I get that those guys are going to be active. 761 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 2: I think right now Tuymloa over Ebicom would be something 762 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: I would keep an eye on. The comedy snaps. Epcom 763 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: played yesterday, you played a lot, you played thirty six. 764 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 2: I guess they're really rotating those four d ns pretty evenly. 765 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 2: Lats to thirty nine, Lewis thirty eight, Epicom thirty six, 766 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 2: Pay thirty five. So you know, again, how much of 767 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: that is ninety degree heat or eighty five degree heat 768 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 2: down there in Nashville? 769 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: All Right? That's it unless you you had some final thoughts. 770 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 2: Boy, I can't wait for Week four. I think it's 771 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: gonna be a great one. Colts and Rams coming up four? 772 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: Is that right? 773 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: Mark? 774 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: The four point underdog? 775 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, three and a half is what I saw three 776 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 3: and a half, so maybe it's maybe it's just a 777 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 3: little bit, but yeah, three and a half point underdog 778 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 3: was last. 779 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: Three and a half. 780 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 2: I'm seeing forty seven and a half right now, which 781 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: I've ventured to guests is probably gonna be one of 782 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 2: the higher over unders. 783 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: Boy, we got a good little Week four slate here 784 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: coming up here. 785 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, outside it came overseas good to have two Monday 786 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 2: night games because Jets Dolphins should not be a standalone 787 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 2: Monday night boy. 788 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 3: And those games stink, quite honestly, both those the Monday 789 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 3: night doubleheader, and none of those are sexy after the 790 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 3: quarterback injuries and whatnot.
