Speaker 2: the preseason finale? We will hit on that. But let's

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160

Speaker 2: and that's and that is Dominic Miranda from WHR. I'm

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: believing he like probably like Shotgun to Red Bull or two.

00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: Before he started his he did tell me the energy

15

Speaker 2: So don for our audience out there that maybe has

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: not tuned into what you do every Friday morning, you

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: created a highlight video that you put out there last

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: night as an explanation of this. Basically, you are on

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,000

Speaker 2: you've got the student section and your full throttle. How

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: are you creating this energy at this hour of.

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: The morning, Complete psychopaths love of football, especially in the

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: state of Indiana. First of all, thank you guys so

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: much for having me. I'm pumped out to be with

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: you guys every single Friday morning talking some high school

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: football because of the communities in Central Indiana and around

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 4: Central Indiana and our DMA are awesome and that is

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: personified in what we're doing with Operation Football Sunrise Kickoffs.

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: So this is kind of taking the baton from Dave

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: collabro him starting Operation Football three decades ago and carrying

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: that and making our niche the morning. You know, there's

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: a lot of other places who do a lot of

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: different things, and I think what makes Indianapolis special is

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: the way high school sports are covered here by everybody.

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody does a great job. All the TV

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: station's newspapers, everyone does an awesome job making the high

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: school stuff feel really, really big, and that's because it is,

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: and it's really really talented across the board. But we

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: like to pick communities. What we did was we started

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: picking communities where we knew they wanted us there and

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: they wanted to showcase their school and showcase their school spirit.

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: And what we do is we visit a different school

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: for nine weeks straight and at the end of the year,

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: we pick who brought the most energy, who brought the

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: most students, who maybe bribed us the most. I mean

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: I did get I did get some donuts this morning.

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 4: I didn't get it. I got a cowboy hat. That

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: the gifts are not to be discounted, I'll say, I'll

51
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: put it that way. But but and then at the

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: end of the year we'll give them our Spirit Award.

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: So last year Martinsville won our twenty twenty fourth Spirit Award,

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: and so we start the following year at our defending

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: champ and then knew this year we're actually putting the

56
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: ball in the fans court, saying okay, we're gonna narrow

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: it down to three different schools and starting every you know, Friday,

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 4: and closing that Wednesday of the next week, the fans

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: can vote on where they want next. So next week,

60
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: for instance, it's between Lebanon Playinfield and Danville who will

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: get Operation Football Sunrise Kickoffs. So it's been awesome and

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: successful and like the schools make it right like Martin

63
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Zille brought out you know, two hundred plus kids this morning,

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: but the cheerleaders, the band, the color guard, the student section,

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: and then they had all the bells and whistles. Really

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: cool stuff, fat heads. There was a there was a

67
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,760

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: with James earlier in the show. Honestly, when you sent

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: out that video last night of you know, kind of

79
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: some of the highlights from last year. The most impressive

80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: thing out of that whole video was you twirling and

81
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: catching the band flag. That was insane.

82
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: Man.

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: There's no chance in hell you put me out on

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: a football field right now. You hand me one of

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: those band flags, and all of a sudden, the director

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: starts queuing up the fight song that flag stabbing me

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: in the nose.

88
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I was There's a lot of teaching that

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: happened before the video was on, and if you notice,

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 4: directly after, there was a sail also posted. Okay, because

91
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: I got a little cocky, I said, oh, who's the

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: master and then boom right in the shoulder out for

93
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: six weeks, you know what I mean. So yeah, it's

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: stuff like that that makes it really fun. And the

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: stuff that you don't see on camera is man, I

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: So, Dominic, can you explain the voting again for those

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: who might be curious, Where do you and how do

105
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: you officially cast a vote? If you want to get

106
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: more involved?

107
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: Okay, WTHR dot com again, this is new this year.

108
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 4: What we did was we used to choose schools and

109
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 4: it was pretty easy because schools would contact us or

110
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 4: you know, be really excited about having us, or we

111
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 4: would we would just know we would get a turnout

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: when we came to specific schools. But there were so

113
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: many of those schools that we were like, okay, well

114
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 4: we need to make this plus against the fans involved,

115
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: against the students involved, and get shared on social media.

116
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: But you can go to WTHR dot com. So go

117
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: to our website and it's narrowed down to three schools weekly.

118
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: The first one this week was we chose Martinsville because

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: they are defending Spirit Awards champs. Now it's to a vote,

120
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: So Danville, Plainfield and Lebanon are three this week, and

121
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: you go to WTHR dot com to cast that vote.

122
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: And this is to vote to host Operation Football Sunrise.

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: And that is that is to vote to host Operation

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: Football Sunrise Kickoff. Baby, I'll love it.

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: Dominic Morana with us here live from Martinsville. Again, as

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: he said, right there, Operation Kickoff, Operation Football Sunrise Kickoff

127
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: from WCHR here every Friday morning throughout the football season.

128
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: All right, you and I are standing there. I think

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: it was Daniel Jones talking on Tuesday, fresh off of

130
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: learning that he had won the quarterback competition here in Indianapolis.

131
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: I am like, creepily trying to record Jones like behind

132
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: you and your phone is also trying to do the

133
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: same thing, and your phone's blown up. You're getting text

134
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: like none other. Blah blah blah. I'm like, man, something

135
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: must be going on right now. Next thing you know,

136
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: Jones gets done. You look at me and say, I

137
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: don't even know if I can say the exact phrase

138
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: on air, Holy bleep, something along those lines. And we

139
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 2: just found out that CJ. Cars Notre Dame's quarterback, and

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: both of us are stunned. This is not what we

141
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: thought at all.

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: No, and it came on a day, I mean, what

143
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: more could happen that day? Carlisle gets the contract extension,

144
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones is name starting quarterback, Sophie cutting Hams out

145
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: for the year, and Cjr. I mean, as a sure,

146
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: as for work professionally, we're already busy, okay, But then

147
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: as a fan, you and I arguably more important. I mean,

148
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: I would say maybe CJ. Carr being named starting quarterback

149
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: of Notre Dame and I think I just leaned to

150
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: you and said CJ. Carr and you're like Nile hey,

151
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: because I mean right, we were all we heard throughout,

152
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: you know, training camp. First it was first, it was

153
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: a CJ. Carr dominates the spring and it's gonna be

154
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: no question and like Notre Dame knows their starting quarterback.

155
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: And for those who don't know, I grew up around

156
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: South Bend, nap in the Indiana's where I hail from,

157
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: about thirty minutes south South End. So I'm a die

158
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: hard Notre Dame fan, unapologetic, as is Kevin as his

159
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: inrow turn off of Wish TV. So we got a

160
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: nice little trio there. But CJ. Carr has all the

161
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: talent in the world. We're told he's a golden child,

162
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, Kenny Minchee is actually outperforming him.

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: During camp. I had actually talked myself into Kenny Minschi Kevin,

164
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

165
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: About you, yeah, and then trust me, I was looking

166
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: up at his high school highlight film to talk myself

167
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: back into him.

168
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: I know, and then boom right is Daniel Jones is

169
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: finishing up. I get an alert from Pete Sambil CJ.

170
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: Carr named starting quarterback and I couldn't really focus the

171
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: rest of the day. I don't know about you. I

172
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: tried to do my best, but Notre Dame had a

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: starting quarterback and we're looking for a national championship. That's

174
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: all we can say.

175
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: Gosh, I love Dominic Moranda so much.

176
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: I know he's one of the best in the business.

177
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: Dominic I do on one the lines of the college

178
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: football world. There are some great Central high school athletes

179
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: here for football that can obviously play in college at

180
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: the next level, but for now, for those who might

181
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: be some of the more top prospects or highly recruited

182
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: players in the area. What are some players you're looking

183
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: at in our neck of the woods who you think

184
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: can really put on the show this season at the

185
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: high school level.

186
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 4: Well, I know Hamble, the Southeastern's quarterback is going to

187
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: Duke and Hamlet the Southeastern looking to capitalize on an

188
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 4: okay season. They have a tough schedule this season. But

189
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: what I think of when you say that is cater Central,

190
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 4: all right, Kasmir Hicks going to IU wide receiver and

191
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 4: then Bo Polson quarterback go into Toledo. He's the quarterback

192
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: they are a senior heavy team. I want to say

193
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: they have twenty two seniors to Cater Central. All right,

194
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: this is a de cater Central team who two years

195
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: ago finished runner up in Class five A state, last

196
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 4: year one state in Class five A, now this year

197
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: bumped up to Class six A. Head coach Kyle Enright

198
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 4: telling me their model this season is mission impossible, which

199
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: I love. First year in sixth A people counting them out,

200
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: they got and then that Michael Campbell is undecided right

201
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 4: now he's getting a ton of mac interests. So they

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: have college dudes. Goalore Warren Central, JJ Finch going to Alabama.

203
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: Warren Central first year head coach JT. Whitaker. He was

204
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator at Brownsburg a year ago, a state

205
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: champion Brownsburg and Class six A. So Warren Central always

206
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 4: has college talent guys who are going to be playing

207
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 4: on Saturdays, no question about that, no matter the level too, right,

208
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: like Division one, Division two, Naia, I mean you guys

209
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 4: that are super talented going to Marion and Saint Francis

210
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 4: and places like that. You indy, it's perennially good in

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: Division two, Like there's so much hidden talent around here.

212
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: It's it's truly awesome. But when you say college guys,

213
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: and then you got monch in sales, you know, Junior

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: I believe at Lawrence North that are we got to

215
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: keep an eye on too, and Lawrence North's kitt coming

216
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: off one of their best seasons a year ago, first

217
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: time winning the Mick. I believe eleven and one there,

218
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: so you know, just so much talent, so much, so

219
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: many storylines. We had a chance to stop by six

220
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: or seven schools as part of our high school preview

221
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: that's on WHR plus right now, shameless plug. We are

222
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: digital guys at a really good job with that, so

223
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 4: I'd recommend watching that if you want to get your

224
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: football fixed ahead of the first Friday Night. Very exciting,

225
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 4: very exciting.

226
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: So the last one for Dominic Miranda, who is joining

227
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: us on the paylistic as hot line from WTHR. You

228
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: can follow him on Twitter at dom Miranda TV Dominate.

229
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 3: When I went to my first high school practice as

230
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: a reporter back in the day, they asked me if

231
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: I was trying out for the team. So did you

232
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: have any of those experiences throughout Maybe not this year

233
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: a little bit older, but have you ever had that

234
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: experience when you showed up as the young reporter and

235
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: people were asking, are you supposed to be in school

236
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: right now?

237
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: No, you look athletic at least I maybe you can

238
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: argue they asked you because you're athletic looking and maybe

239
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 4: had a babyface back then.

240
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: Maybe all right, I got.

241
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 4: Exactly yes, right, you get good. You're looking good. I

242
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 4: got a beard, okay, and I do not look athletic

243
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: in the slightest So like, okay, what ridiculous publication do

244
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: you work for? And why are you here?

245
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 2: No?

246
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: But I did have a funny experience. This wasn't high school,

247
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: but just it sparked my memory when you asked this question.

248
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: But I was. I was in West Lafayette earlier this

249
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: week talking to Barry Otom of Purdue a little on

250
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: while with him previewing, and he was asking me all

251
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: about where I'm from, and he's like, hey, you play

252
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: you played football, And I was like, yeah, I played

253
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: three years at DePauw but you know, torn a cl

254
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: and two concussions later hung it up. He's like, oh,

255
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: so you still have eligibility. We have a meeting at

256
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: three thirty. You want to get in here. I was

257
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 4: like Man, they must be pretty hard up up there,

258
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 4: they're asking me. But anyway, no, nothing like that. But

259
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: man again, I just have to say. I'll say this

260
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: ad nausea. And the hospitality of schools around Central Indiana

261
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: second to none, and the school spirit and the talent

262
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: on the football field too, It's awesome. And so I'm

263
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: shacked up to start football Friday nights here in any

264
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,840

Speaker 2: It is indeed football Friday. Greg greg Staw going to

Speaker 2: join us here in twenty and then at nine o'clock

276
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: Voice of the Matt Taylor, I'm glad he brought up

277
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: Kasmir Hicks. I know he is a player that I

278
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are intrigued by in that

279
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti recruiting class going to Indiana coming up here

280
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: next fall. So again we'll have your coverage lnlc UH

281
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: for us here on the fan in week one. James,

282
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: let's get to Colts Bengals coming up tomorrow one o'clock. Again,

283
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: it sounds like it'll be the threes and the fours.

284
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard for a half, Jason Bean for the second half.

285
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: I did wonder on Tuesday when Change Siken announced that

286
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: it would be Daniel Jones starting in Anthony Richardson as

287
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: the backup here in the regular season, would that lead

288
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: to Anthony Richardson playing on Saturday in the preseason finale? Again,

289
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 2: you only have three preseason games nowadays. Obviously Anthony had

290
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: to miss a good chunk of that first preseason game

291
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: due to injury. There So that was the question. Wanted

292
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: to throw Shane sikends away yesterday. This was Shane's response

293
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: on why know Anthony Richardson in tomorrow's preseason finale? Well,

294
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: I think you know he's one play away.

295
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: You know from going into actual game and don't want

296
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 5: to take the risk there in that situation. We got

297
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 5: a lot of our threes and fours playing in this game.

298
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 5: You know, it's their last opportunity to go prove it,

299
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 5: to make a fifty three man roster, and that's where

300
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 5: it's happening.

301
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: James your thoughts.

302
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: I do understand it from his perspective, But at the

303
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: same time, I'm just thinking to myself, what are the

304
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: real risks, Like how much do you really value the

305
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: again in game reps versus keeping the guy on the

306
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: sideline with the surface pro or an iPad or if

307
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: they call it, and taking the mental reps as I

308
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: have already laid out that I hate.

309
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: But I understand it.

310
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: But I definitely think it probably wouldn't and it probably

311
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: hasn't gone over well with the fan base. Could they

312
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: want to see the four number five pick get out

313
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: there and play?

314
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, I don't follow. I don't you know

315
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: the here is a guy that you say he's struggling

316
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: with Kadence.

317
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: So would you play him with I guess my understanding

318
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: is more so like just to kind of clear it

319
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: up a little bit. My mine is more so of like,

320
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: if he's gonna be out there with threes and fours,

321
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: is it worth putting him out there with those playing

322
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: He played with twos and threes. Last week against Green Bay,

323
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: he played with twos and threes. Agaphant's a favor buddle

324
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: and like your threes are also Cincinnati's threes. It's not like,

325
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're saying out there, well, we don't

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: want him to play with dudes at stink.

327
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: Well the other dude stink on the other side of

328
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: the ball, right, I mean, so it's not like you're

329
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: going against Cincinnati's ones where they're feasting on you.

330
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: Right.

331
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: So I'm just laughing because I'm like man Kevin bow

332
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: when he gets blunt, he gets blunt.

333
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I say, I say stinking

334
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: and well, in.

335
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 3: NFL terms, yes, they would all crush us and football. Yes,

336
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: I do understand.

337
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: Thank you that you got problems with this cadence, you

338
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: got problems with timing up motions, you've got problems with

339
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage stuff. To me, it would be very

340
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: beneficial for him to see more of that in any

341
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: sort of game setting, right. And I'm not even getting

342
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: to the new throwing base and wider you know, footwork

343
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: and yeah you know in game bettings. Does that revert

344
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: back to old habits there? So I basically what the

345
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: cults are saying by benching him is they have said

346
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: he's not good enough. Okay, so now by holding him out,

347
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: you are furthering the lack of development. And yet he's

348
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: one play away from going into a regular season game.

349
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: That is where I don't really agree, I guess at all.

350
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: Just to put it very simply, with that sort of

351
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: thought process, you are okay with him going into a

352
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: regular season game one play away, right, That's what it

353
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: sounds like. He is the backup. But yet you're not

354
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: gonna try and get him any better in this moment,

355
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: like you're afraid of the risk of injury with him,

356
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: and to me, with with Anthony, it's just all about

357
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: getting clarity and if he gets hurt again, I mean,

358
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: now that is final, final clarity boom, Like guy just

359
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: can't stay healthy right period, and you just move on there.

360
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just head scratching to me.

361
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: Here's where I'll go, And we could definitely dive into

362
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: this more throughout the show, but I have a piece

363
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: out on the athletic. The title of it is Anthony

364
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: richhim must own failures, but Shane sticking Colts aren't blameless either,

365
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: And I think when I was kind of pressing Shane

366
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: on this stuff, we'll have Mark pull the audio probably

367
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: sometime throughout the rest of the show where I had

368
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: a chance to just straight up ask Shane, what things

369
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: do you think you specifically could have done better to

370
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: help him? You were supposed to be QB guru, the

371
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: guy who advocated him to come to Indianapolis. And the

372
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: answer he gave, I mean, if anybody else can understand

373
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: what it actually meant, more power to you.

374
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: It was just a bunch of.

375
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: Words that I have to type out and put out there.

376
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: But the point of it is, and I have to

377
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: kind of remind myself of this. So last year when

378
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: Anthony was playing for he tapped out of a game.

379
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: They benched him, and they said this is gonna be

380
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season. And then they were awful.

381
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: They were five hundred when they benched him. They lost

382
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: two games in a row. Joe Flacco was bad, the

383
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: team was bad, and then they got desperate and they

384
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 3: punted on whatever plan they said they had about his

385
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: development behind the scenes.

386
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: He needs to sit, he needs to get better.

387
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: For their own self preservation, they threw him back in

388
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: there because they're like, you know what, whether he is

389
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: doing all the things behind the scenes or not, we

390
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: neednim to play because he's better than Joe Flacco. So

391
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: they throw him back in the lineup. He plays, and

392
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: granted his first game back, he is the best game

393
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: of his life, I would think, against the Jets. And

394
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: it ends poorly that season, and then you restart again

395
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: and you say, well, you know what, actually, after seeing

396
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: some of that, you gotta go back to the bench

397
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: and get better. So my stance is that, why should

398
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: he trust you with his process because the process you've

399
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: laid out has been lies.

400
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: If you felt like the best.

401
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: Thing Franthony Ridgard sent bar None was for him to

402
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: sit and get better, why did you reinsert him into

403
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: the game. Why did you reasserted him into the starting

404
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: lineup last year when things were going bad because you

405
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: got desperate and you're desperate again, and I do feel

406
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 3: like we might get to a point this season where

407
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: if Daniel Jones isn't plan out, do you turn to

408
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: him again say you know what, bail us out again.

409
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: So that's where I just I can't get behind the

410
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: plan or process and Shane'syking loves to use that word process.

411
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: The process right now is a load of nothing. What

412
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 3: can you explain? Why would anybody trust what you have

413
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: to say? And again I have more on this, and

414
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: you can read the piece I tried to like be respectful,

415
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: and I want to make it seem like again Anthony

416
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: is blameless.

417
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: He has to own in my opinion, the majority of this.

418
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: I just can't get behind the idea of the notion that,

419
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: you know, outside of Chris Ballard saying we shouldn't have

420
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: started him, everyone else is saying why did everything I could?

421
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: Well? Did you? Yeah?

422
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: Like to me, you know or earlier in the week

423
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: when we discussed this, you know, I call it an

424
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: organizational failure, the Anthony Richardson whole process, the whole drafting

425
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: of him, etcetera, etcetera.

426
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: And part of that's funny, as you finished the first

427
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: line in my story, Kevin, I should have gave you

428
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: some joint credit.

429
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: Is this is what failure looks like? Yeah, And it

430
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 2: is to me, like it's the organizational failure of like, yes,

431
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: part of it is the evaluation of him as a

432
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: player on and off the field at Florida. And again,

433
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: part of the organizational failure includes him as well, Like

434
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: you would hope that a wake up call would have

435
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: occurred for him at some point. So like I, again,

436
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: he is not blameless by any means, but you're focusing

437
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: more on the plan and I could not agree more.

438
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: And like how they've handled it, the back and forth

439
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: nature to it. I have found it odd they've kept

440
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: the same voices in his ear for three years. Stichen

441
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: Jim Bob Cooter and his position coach, Cam Turner, Like

442
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: at no point did they think to themselves, you know what,

443
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: maybe we need to change it up. Maybe the person

444
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: that maybe his position coach, is not getting to him.

445
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: The Cam Turner background doesn't have a lot of great

446
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: on it. From a back standpoint, Kyler Murray where he

447
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: was in Arizona needed a video game clause in his contract.

448
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: So you know that's where I was curious coming into

449
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: this season. It was probably before you actually hopped on

450
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: air with us in February. Part of my January curiosity. Yes,

451
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: so much was focused on the defensive coordinator. But I

452
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 2: remember saying to Mark certainly, and probably having this conversation

453
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: with Andy of saying, hey, what are they going to

454
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: do offensive staff wise? Is there going to be any

455
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: changes there on that side of the ball with specifically,

456
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: I probably met Anthony with the offensive coordinator, with the

457
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: QB coach. Do you bring in someone that's a little

458
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: different or has a little bit of a different background

459
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: to try and kind of save the operation? But I

460
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: guess there's one more note on Saturday for me, James.

461
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: I think what's really bothersome and confusing to me is

462
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: here is an opportunity to get him actual game reps

463
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: when you've told us he is not ready, and yet

464
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: you're not going to put him in that setting for

465
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: fear of injury, so you'd rather him still be an

466
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 2: inconsistent player when he gets in the game. I mean,

467
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: that's pretty much what you're saying by withholding him from

468
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: game action. And again, it's not like he is necessarily

469
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: out there needing to have precise timing with coleman Owen

470
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: or Landon Parker or you know, Sean McEwing a tight

471
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 2: end some of these guys that you're going to see

472
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: out on the field tomorrow. It's more of a Hey,

473
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: when Cincinnati comes out in this defensive front, how do

474
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: you react to that? Or when they showed this pressure

475
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 2: that Baltimore showed, how do you react to that? It's

476
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: timing up guys in motion, you know those sorts of

477
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: things are saying, or he needs some growth. Greg gray

478
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: Star going to join us here, coming up in a

479
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: few and again. Voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor at

480
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: nine o'clock. You less us as Bentley the fourth. I

481
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: mentioned the name Coleman Owen. You got a random cult

482
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: that you're curious to watch tomorrow that could maybe wiggle

483
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: his way onto the fifty three Bentley at running I

484
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: know Jake's done his wonderful accent in referencing his name,

485
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: but if the running back injuries are there, like Tyler Goodson,

486
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 2: for example, with an elbow injury, he's going to watch

487
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: number thirty seven for Bentley. Number three is Owen a

488
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: little wide out. He's been out, He's caught everything, literally everything.

489
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: He caught a ball yesterday. Reggie Wayne looked beyond thrilled

490
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: seriously on the practice field when that happened. He's probably

491
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: more of a practice squad guy. But any random dude

492
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: number eighty four on the roster that you think fans

493
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: should keep an eye on, I.

494
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: Will say random. But Daniel Scott, I know he was

495
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: a draft pick from a few years ago.

496
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: He got to explain his story for fans. Yeah, so,

497
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: Daniel Scott, I believe was a fifth round pick. I

498
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: want to set a cal right.

499
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, out of col Ironically enough, he actually played with

500
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 3: cam Binam in college.

501
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a older draft pick. I remember that.

502
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was like a six year college guy.

503
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's a fifth round pick from tween twenty

504
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: three and he's had back to backs.

505
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: He's getting injuries.

506
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: I believe the first time run it might have been

507
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: in acl The second time he was an achilles or

508
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 3: vice versa. But either way, two back to back devastating injuries.

509
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: He's now healthy again. He's been playing, obviously trying to

510
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: make the team. And I think because of the injury

511
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: to Hunter Wohler, I'm thinking, is there a chance for

512
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: him to make the roster? Is like a you know,

513
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: backup reserve safety in a way. How good of a

514
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: story would that be for someone who has been fighting

515
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: for his NFL opportunity And obviously his body is kind

516
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: of you know, in a way betrayed him at times,

517
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 3: and so I'm excited for him to get out there

518
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 3: and potentially make the team.

519
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah again right now, it's safety. That is a depth

520
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: spot that I'm curious about from a waiverclaim standpoint. Coming

521
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: up on Tuesday. Nick Cross has missed some time here.

522
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: He's obviously a starter. Cam Bine him, of course, is

523
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: the other starter. Unfortunately, Hunter Wohler suffered that list Frank

524
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: injury against Green Bay and he is out for the season.

525
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: So that's one of those positions that I think when

526
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: you get to Tuesday with waiver claims, that that could

527
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: be happening. Are the Bears playing their starters?

528
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: Mark?

529
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: Probably not right.

530
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 6: I've not heard anything yet, but they're playing the Chiefs

531
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 6: I think on Saturday. But yeah, I've not heard any

532
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 6: thing about that. I wouldn't mind if they played a

533
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 6: little bit. But I have not heard what Ben Jonson's

534
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 6: plan is yet.

535
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: Is Tyson Bagent Is he the backup to Williams?

536
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: Yep?

537
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: I like him story. That was a really cool video

538
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: watching his emotion and signing the extension undrafted.

539
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, yeah, from a very small town and he

540
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: really impressed here in that preseason game.

541
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that of like that was kind of

542
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: the first signs of like, oh wow, maybe the Bears

543
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: have found something here. But for those that missed it,

544
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: super emotional. Was it earlier this week?

545
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, talking about a two year, ten million dollar extension

546
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 6: and he started crying on the podium because he said,

547
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 6: you know, my dad grew up without running water till

548
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 6: he was in high school. He's from the town, small

549
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 6: town in West Virginia called Martinsburg, So obviously he's like,

550
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 6: I can use all this money for good, not just

551
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 6: for me, but for other people, help others in need.

552
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 6: He's a good dude. I like Tyson Bagen a lot.

553
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 6: He's he's one of those guys that you're rooting for,

554
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 6: and I'm great. I'm happy he's a Bear, But I

555
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 6: will not be surprised when you know, that contract come up,

556
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 6: if other teams come call him, because he's a dude

557
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 6: that just puts his nose in the playbook. He seems

558
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 6: to understand it pretty well, and he just seems like

559
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 6: an all run good dude.

560
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone who hates Chicago sports.

561
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Me.

562
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: I actually did have to watch that a couple of times,

563
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: so I thought that was pretty good along those lines.

564
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 3: I always feel like when those types of stories pop up,

565
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: especially around like the Super Bowl or like a big

566
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: national championship game, and I don't have like a rooting interest,

567
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: I'm root for everybody because I know this guy's been

568
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: through this, and this guy's been through that, and that

569
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: woman's beat this, you know, illness or whatever, and so

570
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: everyone's got a story. It kind of reminds you of that,

571
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: and it was cool to see that emotion come out

572
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: of him, and just the gratitude and just a reminder

573
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 3: overall that, Yeah, for the top players that we talk

574
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 3: about often, they made a lot of money and it

575
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: might not not saying that they don't take it for granted,

576
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: but it might not for us be at the forefront

577
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: of our minds all the time. But that kind of

578
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: reminds you of, like, oh, wow, this guy just changed

579
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 3: his life because of a kid's game, which is really cool.

580
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm guessing last night was Christmas Eve. For our next guest,

581
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: he is the one, the only Greg Rakestraw Football Friday

582
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: alive and well high school see the night he's on

583
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: the call of Colt's Bengals coming up tomorrow, Greg Greg

584
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Straw on the other side. I think this was his

585
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: alarm this morning. Actually think there's no way he even

586
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: alarms it up. No, it's Bodyclock Baby the selec buwl

587
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: last night. For our next guest tonight, it will be

588
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: the Battle of Lawrence. I know the winner gets I

589
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: don't know Free Jockomo's off of the fifty sixth Street

590
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: four Ben Pizza Joy and I'm making that up, but

591
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: I think that should be up for grabs tonight. We

592
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: called it Christmas Eve for him. Last night. He is

593
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: Greg Greg Straw. Week one of the high school football

594
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,040

Speaker 1: Rake.

Speaker 2: Good Friday morning to you, sir. You've made it to

Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. And last Friday night

599
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: I think was my last Friday night off until the

00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: next time. That song is in vogue until December twenty sixth.

601
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I love it all right. Let's set up your

00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: all the weather forecasters out there for giving me five

608
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: glorious nights for outdoor sporting events. Don't worry about rain

609
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: delays nor sweating through a suit. The only best chance

610
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: met to have, of course, be tomorrow after Joe.

611
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: So Rick, I do have to ask, and I'm honestly

612
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: shocked that I havn't access before. But do you do

613
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: things to keep your voice fresh because you sound so

614
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: smooth or you talk to us every time I hear you,

615
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 3: But I'm like, man, that's a lot of worse.

616
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: Well, there's the old line for the Blues Brothers Taladan

617
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: gift from God that helps. I don't. I don't. I

618
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: try not to yell, frankly, like if I occasionally go

619
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: to a concert, which I've gone to zero of those

620
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: this year. But I'm not gonna be like yelling singing

621
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: along every song. And I try to rarely eat popcorn

622
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: so it doesn't get stuck in the back of my throat.

623
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 7: That's it.

624
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: So really the answer your question is, JB.

625
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: Not much, no popcorn, I'm learning, I'm learning, or just

626
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: the sporting events.

627
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: Just rarely eeded and never a sporting event, because again

628
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: it gets stuck in the back of your throat and

629
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: you're hacking something up and then then we got problems.

630
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: Gotcha, we break.

631
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: You live a wonderful life, and I feel like whenever

632
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: I do see you, it is usually one of the

633
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: most enjoyous times of the year with high school athletics.

634
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: And obviously you're going to be at l NLC, and

635
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: let's start on the l in side. You know, I've

636
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: heard they've had some some great talent obviously the last

637
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: couple of years, and some Division one talent. So could

638
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: you expand on that for those who might be curious

639
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: about the talent in their own backyard around here.

640
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Monchin Sales is one of the highest rateed recruits

641
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: in his class in the state, if not kind of regionally.

642
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: Six to five wide receiver, track star speed. He would

643
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: help lead Lawrence North to the track and field state

644
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: championship in the spring. A lot of seniors off of

645
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: this l N team, but really kind of three or

646
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: four key pieces that are back with Sales and Zay Moore.

647
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: And Zay has been starting tailback since his freshman year.

648
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: He is also a junior same class as Sales said,

649
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: well Over one thousand yards each of the last two years.

650
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: Not very big, but tremendous size, but sales and more

651
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. On the defense,

652
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Mallory and McKellar that are kind of key returning pieces.

653
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: So it's not a huge number of attorneys for LN,

654
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: but they've got a couple of stars on both sides

655
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: of the football and often early in the season that's

656
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of enough to carry it through.

657
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: He's on the call LNLC Tonight's again It'll be him

658
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: and Joe writes Leira Overton tomorrow one o'clock down there

659
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: at Cincinnati before we shift gears. Greg raigstraws with us

660
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: here on the payloss Slickers hotline. How about another high

661
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: school storyliner? Two this season sounds like six A super

662
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: wide open. I know some of the lower classes you've

663
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: had some class move up move down that will create

664
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: maybe some matchups for not totally used to come playoff time.

665
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: But what else on your mind high school wise here

666
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: around the area?

667
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: Those storylines in terms of teams moving the cater Central

668
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: playing up in six A and I think they'll be

669
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: competitive to that point. They are playing now avon the

670
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: opening week of the season to kind of give them,

671
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, they're in a great five A league that

672
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: keeps getting better in the mid state, but Avon gives

673
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: them a test of what the postseason gonna look like

674
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: for them in six A. But Kyle Enwright's team has

675
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: multiple Division one kids as well, led by Kashmir Hicks,

676
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: led by quarterback both Holston Campbell. Defensively, they they're really talented.

677
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Returned a lot of kids from the team that made

678
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: the last two five A state championship games. Your Cathedral lerish,

679
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: you're down in five A for the first time in

680
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: a while, and seemingly all signs point to Cathedral and

681
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: Newpowe will play at some point in time in the sectional.

682
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Geographically that's where they belong in terms of five A teams,

683
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: and so Whomember wins that is the favorite to continue

684
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: winning on and winning a five A championship. And while

685
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: herritage Hills isn't exactly in the nine three, five and

686
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: one oh seven five, you know listening area, they will

687
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: have an impact on the four A championship because who

688
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: ever kind of survives the Indianapolis Gauntlet group of Roncalli, Shitar, Danville, Rebuff, Mooresville,

689
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: et cetera comes out of that sectional and Greenfield Central

690
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: probably is now the favorite in the other Indy area

691
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: for a sectional without newpal being in that group, those

692
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: teams have to run into Heritage Hills at some point

693
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: in time, led by Jack Goldsberry. They've got a couple

694
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: of major college recruits on that team. The other thing

695
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: that I would say in terms of the classes below

696
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: that is not exactly classification changes, but there is a

697
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of conference changes. We have two brand new

698
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: conferences in terms of small school athletics, kind of northwest

699
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis area. In the Indianapolis area, the Indiana

700
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Crossroads split apart in a two different leagues, one public school,

701
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: one private school. So actually what it means is like

702
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: for some smaller schools there are some massive rivalry games

703
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: tonight because for years these schools have been in the

704
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: same league and now they're not, and so they're playing

705
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: each other very early in the season. So the schedules

706
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: will look different for a lot of the two A

707
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and three A teams in the Indy area because they're

708
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: in brand new leagues this year.

709
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: So Rake, we'll pivot a little bit now to the

710
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: colts because Honestly, I could talk to you about high

711
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: school sports all day. You do know this because whenever

712
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: I see you, I'll bring it up. But when it

713
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: comes to heading to Cincinnati on Saturday tomorrow, what things

714
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: are you looking at? And perhaps I'll start here, what

715
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: do you want to see from Roley Leonard? Who is

716
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: the QB three? I would expend to stay that way

717
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: throughout the season, but obviously when you draft a quarterback,

718
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 3: you do want to develop him. You want him to

719
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: turn into something you can use in the future. So

720
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: what do you want to see from him? Just starting

721
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: off in really his first start up believes it's a

722
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: national championship.

723
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: I would say, maybe it's a little higher completion percentage.

724
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: It's it's not been terrible, but you want to see

725
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: it be a little bit better. You know, clearly, you

726
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: know he is a playmaker with his feet, you know,

727
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: which is the exact reason why you know you drafted

728
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: him and kind of you know, brought him into this

729
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: offense because his skill set fits Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones.

730
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: So maybe completion percentage be better, but just want to

731
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: see him be a playmaker, because again, I don't think

732
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: they'uring it to Leonard this year, but you'd never know.

733
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: So just kind of that that next generic step forward

734
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: for Riley for lack of a better term.

735
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: Ray, how about one roster bubble question on offense, one

736
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: on defense again, just it's one giant cut. Now in

737
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: the NFL, we go from ninety to fifty three. So

738
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: a lot of guys you'll see tomorrow unfortunately probably won't

739
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: be out there come you know, next Wednesday, Thursday when

740
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: they have their first big ray or season practice. But

741
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: anything roster wise, each side of the ball you're keeping

742
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: an eye.

743
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: On, you know, honestly, other than the obvious court question,

744
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: which has now been answered, there were not a lot

745
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: of questions coming in. Now injuries have determined have changed this.

746
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: So what exactly is the cornerback spots and safety spot

747
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: going to look like? There are now some jobs open

748
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: that we didn't think there were going to be. And

749
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: I thought there was going to be maybe of all

750
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: the positions where you'd have a fifty three and then

751
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: there's always a fifty second or fifty third guy that

752
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: thinks he made the team in twenty four hours later

753
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: he's looking for a job or trying to get back

754
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. I thought of all the positions

755
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: where they would bring somebody in, it would be offensive line.

756
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: And I think because of injuries there, that's even more

757
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: so the case now. So again, I think the fifty

758
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: three man decisions have been heavily influenced by injuries, and

759
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: so you know the spots that have been injured. Secondary

760
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: has been ravaged, and the offensive lines have been banged

761
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: up to.

762
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: Indeed, it is the most wonderful time of the year.

763
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 2: As Greg rachsdraw said, excellent, excellent weather. We should be

764
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: an awesome night here for high school football. He's got

765
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: you covered ln NLC. And then down I seventy four

766
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: for the Colts and Bengals tomorrow preseason finale at one o'clock.

767
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: Friday's at eight o'clock. Those are great breaks for all times,

768
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 2: pretty much all year long, especially here as the fall

769
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 2: is approaching. Rake, Thank you, sir, Safe travels down there tomorrow.

770
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: See if all right.

771
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 2: Final hour of the week. It is a football Friday here.

772
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: Week one. I'm gonna get started in the high school

773
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: ranks later on. Tonight looks to be a great, great

774
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: night for that. We got week zero of college football

775
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: Marquee matchup someone Marquee Top twenty five over in doublin

776
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: Kansas State, in Iowa State, and of course the preseason

777
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: finale tomorrow down I seventy four, that will be the

778
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: Colts and the Bengals. A man that is very fond

779
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 2: of the city of Cincinnati, particularly their Major League Baseball team.

780
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: He is voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor with this

781
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: year may Taty Mickel rosis Fresh's big Boy Stop tomorrow, skyline.

782
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 2: Stop you got anything on the agenda.

783
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 4: I'll give you.

784
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 7: I'll give you an old story. So when we used

785
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 7: to play four preseason games, this was always the fourth one.

786
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 7: It was always a night game on a Thursday. So

787
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 7: whenever we would Cincinnati, we would drive over separately, independently

788
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 7: of the team, and there was a Larrosa's Pizza about

789
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 7: I don't know, a mile and a half around the

790
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 7: corner from pay Corpse Stadium, like right on the edge

791
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 7: of town, kind of off I seventy four as you're

792
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: getting back on the highway going back to Indianapolis. But

793
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 7: it closed at like ten thirty. So usually this game

794
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 7: would start at seven. So what you would do is

795
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 7: you would hope for a fast game you know, no injuries,

796
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 7: but you know, get the work done that you needed to,

797
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 7: but hope for a fast game and then put that

798
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 7: order in to go, order in before they would hit

799
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 7: the closing bell. And then one year we got there

800
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 7: like a ten to twenty eight and it was I

801
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 7: mean we were just smashing l Rosa's pizza on the

802
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 7: way home back. I think we got like two pizzas

803
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 7: with like you know, four or five guys on the

804
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 7: road and we were just starving because you know, you

805
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 7: don't you don't eat dinner during a game. You know,

806
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 7: you're busy on the radio. So that was that's always

807
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 7: a really good memory of you know, getting the Lros's

808
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 7: pizza stopping off, you know before the game. This is

809
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 7: way back, just probably ten years ago, before yingling became

810
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 7: very prevalent in the state of Indiana. But you'd always

811
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 7: hit up a grocery store on the way down and

812
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 7: get a case of yingling for the weekend with Labor

813
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 7: Day weekend coming up. So yeah, very very fond memories.

814
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 7: Love the stadium. It's a great booth. That's selfishly, that's

815
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 7: all I care about. So yeah, you always loved going

816
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 7: down to the five to one to three, you know,

817
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 7: seeing if the Reds are in town, maybe pairing that

818
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 7: up with the game. But yeah, it's it's always a

819
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 7: good time to go down to Ice seventy four and

820
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 7: hit up Cincinnati.

821
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: This man's got a covered right here. I was gonna say,

822
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: what a blueprint may Matt. I'm afraid of how the

823
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: penalties have been called in the preseason. I don't think

824
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: you're beginning to quit game tomorrow.

825
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 7: Well it's at one o'clock, so we do have a

826
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 7: little bit of extra I guess you're right.

827
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. Okay, let's start here.

828
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: I get you know, quarterback wise, I think it's pretty obvious.

829
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean Riley Leonard and Will get the first app

830
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: Jason being the second half so at you probably don't

831
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 2: want to go there, you know, I mentioned earlier you

832
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 2: listen Bentley the fourth Coleman Owen on offense and running

833
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: back in a wide out. I think the Juju Brent

834
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: storyline him playing is at least interesting or early in

835
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: the game. Any other kind of random names, you know,

836
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: maybe non quarterback division that you think fans should keep

837
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: an eye on for a game that you know largely

838
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 2: is about guys that you know are hoping to cling

839
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 2: to a practice squad.

840
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm really glad you asked this question because last night,

841
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 7: you know, I just started a bunch of guys that

842
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 7: I think are going to play, and so it was

843
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 7: good to kind of go back and refresh your notes

844
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 7: and get refamiliar eyes with these guys because they have played,

845
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 7: they have been part of training camp. But like you said,

846
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 7: they're going to be front and center in this game tomorrow.

847
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 7: So I mean you mentioned Lewis you Lissen's Bentley, the

848
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 7: fourth at of Ole, miss Other guys are going to

849
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 7: run the ball, natean Nowell from Missouri, na Kuan Wright

850
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 7: from South Florida. You know, these are guys the Colts

851
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 7: have picked up out of necessity and training camp sort

852
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 7: of as camp has gone and then not so distant

853
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 7: pass I'd say in the last week and a half,

854
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 7: two weeks, they've they've in the team. Coleman Owen, I

855
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 7: think is a great story. I think he's going to

856
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 7: have a huge game tomorrow. At least statistically, this guy's

857
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 7: gonna catch It would not surprise me at all tomorrow.

858
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 7: You know, at the end of the game, you look

859
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 7: at the box score to see him have like seven

860
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 7: or eight catches for eighty ninety yards maybe a touchdown.

861
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 7: Like he's just a really good, savvy high football IQ

862
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 7: slot player. It's kind of like a Josh Downs type

863
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 7: where you know he's five foot ten, close to two

864
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 7: hundred pounds, but I mean, this guy catches everything that

865
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 7: you throw to him. And I actually talked to him

866
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 7: in the locker room this week and I asked him

867
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 7: kind of playfully and respectfully. I said, hey, man, like

868
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 7: you had over twelve hundred yards last year. I know

869
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 7: you're playing in the MAC, but the MAC is still

870
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 7: a really good football league. I think he was like

871
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 7: six in the country last year and receiving yards in

872
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 7: all of the FBS. I was like, how did you

873
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 7: How did you go undrafted? And he's like, yeah, it

874
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 7: was kind of disappointing, but you know.

875
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: I chose the Colts because it's a great situation.

876
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of guys to learn from. It's

877
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 7: a good opportunity. So you know, he's a really darn

878
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 7: good football player and I think he's probably destined for

879
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 7: the practice squad based on what he's shown other receivers

880
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 7: that you're gonna see. You're gonna see Blaine Taylor. You're

881
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 7: gonna see Landon Parker. You're gonna see a Joe, a

882
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 7: Joe from South Florida. Lakwan Treadwell is gonna play tomorrow.

883
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 7: Tyler Common Imporia State guy Division two, just absolute superstar.

884
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 7: The tight end position. You're gonna see Maximilian mang who's

885
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 7: got an international background from Germany. He played tight end

886
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 7: at Syracuse. You're gonna see, you know, a guy like

887
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 7: Sean McEwan from from Michigan. On the defensive side of

888
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 7: the ball, it's names like you know, Marcus Haynes from

889
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 7: Old Dominion, Desmond, Little Darrell and Chommy. You're gonna see

890
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 7: Devonted Davis. You're gonna see Eric Johnson, who, by the way,

891
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 7: leads the Colton tackle so far in the preseason. At linebacker,

892
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 7: Solomon Deshields, Jacob Phillips, Austin a GK is going to

893
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 7: continue to play at the cornerback spot. You know about

894
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 7: the the depth that's being tested. You're not going to

895
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 7: see Xavier Howard, but you will continue to see I

896
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 7: think tomorrow, Duke Shelley, Jonathan Edwards if he can get

897
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 7: back after a concussion. BJ Mays as a name I

898
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 7: think you need to learn tomorrow, number thirty six from

899
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 7: Texas A and m Alex Johnson is going to continue

900
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 7: to play, Trey Washington in the secondary, Daniel Scott who

901
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 7: had an interception taken away last Saturday against the Packers.

902
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 7: So those are the big names that I think you're gonna,

903
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 7: you know, become more familiarized if you're a hardcore Colts

904
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 7: fan tomorrow. These are the guys scratching a call on

905
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 7: for roster spots, practice squad positions, and if they do

906
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 7: make the team, these are guys that I think are

907
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 7: going to make big plays for you throughout the course

908
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 7: of a seventeen game regular season schedule on special teams.

909
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: So we have Matt Taylor Mayte on the line just now.

910
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 3: And obviously you know a lot about these Colts, and

911
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: I do want to know do you prep your calls

912
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 3: at all? Because I'm just thinking of Ulysses. How do

913
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: you say his name?

914
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: Lisses? Bentley?

915
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 3: Bentley, Yeah, Bentley the fourth Like if he scores a touchdown,

916
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 3: is it he's driving the Bentley?

917
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: We're driving the Bentley? Like, I mean, what are we

918
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: were working here?

919
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking of all the puns that I could

920
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: use for Bentley.

921
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: That seems too easy. Come on, now, well, I think

922
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: you gotta be you gotta be a little simple though. No,

923
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 2: I don't know that's why I'm asking the pro No.

924
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 7: I think I think I'd be lying if if those

925
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 7: things don't cross my mind. You know, James, I mean,

926
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 7: you put so much work into these things, and and uh,

927
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 7: obviously you know, things pop into your head, like, for example, I'm.

928
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 4: Looking at you. Guys are going to make fun of me.

929
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 7: This is really bad, but I'm gonna tell you anyways,

930
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 7: like Cincinnati, like you try to have fun and you

931
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 7: try to be entertaining in the preseason because you guys know,

932
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 7: the preseason is not for everybody. But like Cincinnati has

933
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 7: a linebacker tomorrow who's third string. He's probably going to

934
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 7: start the game. Uh, young man by the name of

935
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 7: Joe Giles Harris. And in my mind, because I'm an

936
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 7: old school, old old soul, I say, I wonder if

937
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 7: Joe Giles Harris is going to be confused with Jay Giles. Sure, yeah,

938
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 7: and you guys, you guys probably don't get that reference.

939
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 7: But like that's that's the kind of crap that just

940
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 7: like peaks into my brain as you try to, like,

941
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 7: you know, carve out some sanity with a ninety man roster,

942
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 7: as you do this three times in the preseason.

943
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: No, I think it's it defines why you are a pro. Now,

944
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: I will add this. Luke reached out Matt mid interview

945
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: and it shared some info that I don't know if

946
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: it's valid or not, but I'll share it. He goes

947
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: fresh This Big Boy is great, but Skyline isn't even

948
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: the best chile in Ohio. I would take Paco's, Rudy's Ideal,

949
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 2: and Netty's. In fact, Skyline is probably the worst chili

950
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: in the state. Also Gino's or Stubborn Brothers for pizza

951
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: that is better than l Rosa's.

952
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 7: Well, those things might be true. And and like I'm

953
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 7: not a diehard Cincinnati you know, food connoisseur, Like these

954
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 7: are things that are just prevalent, and so I've picked

955
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 7: them up over the years. Now I will say, like I,

956
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 7: generally speaking, only crave chili like maybe once a year,

957
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 7: And it's like on Halloween. If Halloween is like a

958
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 7: really rainy, cold, kind of crisp night and there's football

959
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 7: on like, that's the only time of the year that

960
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 7: I really like chili anyways, So if you tell me

961
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 7: that Skyline is fourth on that list, and I'll believe

962
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 7: it because I really don't really crave it ever anyways,

963
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 7: But the Rosas always has like a little bit of

964
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 7: a special place in my heart because every year as

965
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 7: a family we would pack up, we would go to

966
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 7: King's Island. So King's Island just has like the aroma

967
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 7: of cotton candy and that Lo Rosa's pizza sauce where

968
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 7: it's got a little bit of a sweet taste to

969
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 7: it a little bit. So that's always gonna like hit

970
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 7: extra hard for me, just going back to my childhood.

971
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 7: As soon as I eat Al Rosa's pizza, I just

972
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 7: immediately turn like eleven years old again.

973
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: So we should do a summer segment on theme park aromas.

974
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: You know, Holiday World only smells like SPF and like

975
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: soft drinks like carbonate in an SPF. Mark Dychne would

976
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 2: be great at this theme park a roma. How do

977
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 2: you describe the smell to State Fair?

978
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, pretzels and hot dogs, deep fried foods, basically

979
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 6: lemon and lemonade shakeups.

980
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, if if you could define bad choices in a smell.

981
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 6: That's what it would be, horse manure from all the

982
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 6: animals that are roaming around.

983
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: He is a voice of the cults. Matt Taylor, Matt

984
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: last one for me. We were debating this a little

985
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 2: bit earlier, and honestly, I didn't even think about it

986
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: when Change Psyken mentioned it yesterday. It was brought to

987
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: my attention from some listeners when they heard Juju Brens

988
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: was playing in the game. They were curious, does this

989
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 2: mean anything for his roster spot. I don't look at

990
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: it like that. I look at it more of a

991
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: here's a guy that unfortunately is you know, him and

992
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson have virtually equal track records injury wise, maybe

993
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 2: even honestly, Brence has missed more time. He just needs

994
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: reps period. So do you look it as knocking off

995
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: rust reps or do you look at it as he

996
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 2: might not hear his name called with the new defensive

997
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: coordinator come Tuesday four o'clock.

998
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both, to

999
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 4: be honest with you, I mean, to be.

1000
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 7: Fair that cornerback depth has been tested, but it's starting

1001
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 7: to come back a little bit, including Juju Brent Rights

1002
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 7: to Life. Yeah, you know, Samuel Womack I think is

1003
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 7: going to be squarely in the mix too. I mean,

1004
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 7: here's the thing, like, you can probably only keep six,

1005
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 7: but it's become a little bit more complicated since Justin

1006
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 7: Wally went down. But here comes Xavier Howard, and you know,

1007
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 7: I don't I don't think you can cut him based

1008
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 7: on his resume, even though he hasn't played in a

1009
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 7: regular season game and what eighteen to twenty months, you know,

1010
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 7: since the end of twenty twenty three in that season.

1011
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 7: I mean, Ward's making the team, Kenny Moore's making the team.

1012
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,800
Speaker 7: You know, Jaylen Jones, once he gets back healthy, you

1013
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 7: think would make the team. So I think it's a

1014
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 7: little bit of a combination of the two of them,

1015
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 7: just because you guys are right, he just hasn't played.

1016
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 7: He's I mean, Anthony rich started fifteen games. Juju's only

1017
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 7: started eleven, right, and they're in the same draft class,

1018
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 7: so he's actually played fewer you know, snaps and had

1019
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 7: you know, I had a fewer amount of opportunities to grow,

1020
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 7: and he's a high draft pick. So it's one of

1021
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 7: those things where I don't think the Colts are going

1022
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 7: to give up on him despite the unfortunate, uh, you know,

1023
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 7: just rash of injuries that he's had to endure. But

1024
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 7: at the same time, he's got to play, and since

1025
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 7: he's missed basically the last two and a half three

1026
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 7: weeks of training camp, you got to see what he

1027
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 7: can do and see if there's any sort of lingering

1028
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 7: nature of that injury for him carrying that over into

1029
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 7: the regular season. So I do think it's a little

1030
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 7: bit of both, although if I had to pick, it's

1031
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 7: more like, let's just see, you know, where he's at.

1032
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 7: Let's just see, let's get him some reps, Let's get

1033
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 7: him some run, you know, kind of shake off the

1034
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 7: russ from being sidelined for a couple of weeks, and

1035
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 7: let's feel good about what he can do for us

1036
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 7: heading into the regular season. But I will say the

1037
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 7: cornerback position is coming back to life, and it is

1038
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 7: going to be at least worth a discussion on who

1039
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 7: the Colts keep and who they try to stash away

1040
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 7: on that practice squad, because again, despite those injuries, the

1041
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 7: cornerback room is still pretty loaded and they have a

1042
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 7: ton of experience coming into that team.

1043
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: Brady says, Indiana Beach smells like bo I've never been.

1044
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to Indiana Beach?

1045
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 4: Matt No, I've never been to Indiana Beach.

1046
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 7: In fact, I've only been to the State Fair like

1047
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 7: one time, because it's always kind of coincided with football season,

1048
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 7: right either as a professional, you know, covering the Colts

1049
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 7: or then growing.

1050
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 4: Up that took you out on the weekends to go.

1051
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 7: So one time I did Hot Take like I appreciated it.

1052
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 7: I took my kids, but it's just really hot. There's

1053
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 7: a lot of people, it's crowded. I don't love crowds.

1054
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 7: The food lines were long. They wanted to go see

1055
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 7: the pigs and the animals, and you walk into those

1056
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 7: buildings and it's just like boom, it hits you straight

1057
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 7: in the nose, like damn. So you know it was

1058
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 7: it was okay. Hot Take just kind of met. But

1059
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 7: you know, if my kids want to go back, I'll

1060
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 7: certainly take them.

1061
00:49:58,719 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 4: I know.

1062
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: I felt bad for that mom pig. I think they

1063
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: called her piglet. She had thirteen kids in late July,

1064
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: and her maternity leave was having thousands of Indiana Ands

1065
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: Hoosier ins look at her every single day. I'm like that,

1066
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 2: that doesn't sound like resting maternity leave like anything.

1067
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that that pig is not sitting on

1068
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 7: the couch, is watching Netflix and chilling right and changing diapers.

1069
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: Sorry.

1070
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1071
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 2: He will be in Cincinnati tomorrow. It is the preseason

1072
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: finale to Cincinnati. He will have you covered your names

1073
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: for us. He'll be ready to go all four quarters.

1074
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: It will be Matt Taylor. Charles Rbuckle on the call,

1075
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: coming up tomorrow at one o'clock. Football Fridays are here,

1076
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,839
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor, Thank you, sir.

1077
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 4: Yep, my pleasure.

1078
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 7: Guys, have a great weekend, enjoy the game tomorrow.

1079
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 4: We'll talk you next week.
