Speaker 1: to believe the company, this company.

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: You're going to bankrupt your mama's company. At least I

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: have the radio to keep me company.

00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,080

Speaker 3: Jones out of the gun, Goulden motion of the right side,

Speaker 3: Fix grows back to the right and it's tipped up

19
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,800

Speaker 5: It was unbelievable. He got the tip and the pig man.

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 5: It was awesome to see. I mean, those guys work

25
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: so hard. Grover has been a Staple here at this

26
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: organization for a long time. You can always count on him,

27
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 5: always stress on him.

28
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: To, you know, make a play. Up front.

29
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: Herbert goes out of the gun three receiver stack left.

30
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: Herbert looks that way, initially scanning over to his right,

31
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: throws and the.

32
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,080

36
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: down Detroit picked again for Jonathan Taylor.

37
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 5: He's the best back in the league right now, There's

38
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 5: no doubt, and I think it starts with our guys

39
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 5: up front. He's running hard, he's running physical, he's got

40
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 5: great vision. Yeah, he's he's bawling out right now.

41
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 6: When you come to playoffs, it's going to be a

42
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 6: four quarter match, similar to how it was today. We're

43
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 6: going to fight, scratching claw until that clock's straight zero.

44
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: So that's how it sounded yesterday. Matt Taylor, Charles Arbuckle,

45
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: Colts Radio Network, Shane Stike, and you heard from Jonathan

46
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Taylor as well. No relation to Matt as the Indianapolis

47
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Colts believe it right now, I said this last week,

48
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: but believe this. Right now, if you are driving, I'm

49
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: going to ask that you not do what I'm about

50
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: to say because I need your hands at ten and two.

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: If you are at work, it is okay. If you

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: are at home or work from home, it's okay to

53
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: do what I'm about to say. But reach over right now,

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: whether you're right or left handed, to your opposite arm,

55
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: and just twice pinch yourself because right now, on this

56
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: the twentieth of October, in twenty twenty five, right now,

57
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you in Marion County, Indianapolis, Indiana, You in Johnson County, Indiana,

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: You in Boone County, you in Hendrix County, Hancock County,

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Hamilton County. Wherever it may be that you are listening

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: to my voice, you are either physically speaking or by

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: means of hearing my voice, you are indirectly connected with

62
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: the absolute epicenter of all that is the best in

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: sport in the United States of America right now in October,

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the number one college basketball team in the land, right

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: here in this area, the Pretty Boilermakers, the number one

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: WNBA magnetized Star, magnet star in the WNBA, stirring the

67
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: drink that is the WNBA rise is Caitlin Clark of

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever. The number one team ragining right now

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: as the champions of the Eastern Conference in the National

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Basketball Association. The Indiana Pacers the number one team, and yes,

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: I know they're not ranked number one, but the college

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: football team with the most impressive win in college football

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: this year, that's ranked number two in the country. And

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: I believe right now, I do believe this. I'm not

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: just saying it in bias. I do believe this. Indiana

76
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: University is the best team in college football right now.

77
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Prove me wrong. Ohio State's tremendous, I get it. But

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: in terms a body of work and resume, if this

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: were the NCAA Tournament in basketball, Indiana would be the

80
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: number one overall seed because they have the best win

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: so far in college football and they continue to just

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: they have the best player in college football. The Heisman

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Trophy may well go through Bloomington, and of course it

84
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: goes without saying and who didn't know this was going

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: to happen. The best coach right now in the NFL

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: that may be the front runner for Coach of the

87
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Year is Shane Steiken of the Indianapolis Colts. The best

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL right now that may be

89
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: offensive player of the year is Jonathan Taylor of the

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. The best rookie in the NFL right now

91
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: is Tyler Warren, who may be the rookie of the

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Year for the Indianapolis Colts and the comeback player of

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: the year, as well as perhaps the most valuable player

94
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. If it's not Jonathan Taylor, on the

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: ladder of that is Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts.

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: The Colts are now not only the best record in

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the AFC, they are in the absolute driver's seat within

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: their own division, and yesterday coming up with a clinic

99
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: and a master performance against the Chargers. Now, there is

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: one area that we will not nitpick but simply point

101
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: out in the sake of fairness and accuracy and totality

102
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: of the story, that is of moderate concern for the

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: Colts that needs to be addressed. But before we get

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: to all of that, two things. Number One, do that

105
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: double pinch to pinch yourself over the fact that you

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: right now, if you are in Indianapolis, if you are

107
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: in Indiana or if you're listening to my voice because

108
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: you feel a connection to those plays and to where

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: we're sitting right now than you are part of right now,

110
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the epicenter of sport. Tell me a sports radio market

111
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: right now in the United States that has more elite

112
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: level play and or teams to talk about than we

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: do right here in Indianapolis. And it's a privilege to

114
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: be able to do it over the course of today.

115
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: In addition to that, while you're doing your double pinch,

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: do me a favor and think a good thought for

117
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: one of the real good guys when it comes to

118
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Indiana sports, one of the really good people, and somebody

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: who comes from a family that has had tons of

120
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: contribution to sport in Indiana. Best thoughts, best thoughts. And

121
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: what I think is somebody said to me today, you know,

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: this is a sad story. And I said, no, no, no,

123
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: not a sad story. This is a good story. It's

124
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: a good story. Matthew Graves, the head basketball coach at

125
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Indiana State, who of course native of Indiana and has

126
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: coached for a number of years now in his second

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: season with the Sycamores. The announcement this morning from Indiana

128
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: State Basketball that Matthew Graves was feeling tightness in his chest,

129
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: went to Union Hospital in Terre Haute. They determined that

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: he needed triple bypass surgery and it said which would

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: take place this Monday morning. I assume that means this

132
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: morning as opposed to next Monday. That announcement coming today.

133
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: But either way, that means that Mark Slessinger will fill

134
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: in as the interim head coach for the Sycamores. That

135
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: is of course secondary to the health and the progress

136
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: moving forward for Matthew Graves. But the good news in

137
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: this is that they caught this early. He was in

138
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: good spirits. He went in and we wish him the

139
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: very best, not just in that procedure but also in

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: his recovery. So for Matthew Graves, the best of luck

141
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: and a tip of the cap to it. But let's

142
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: get back to yesterday, the Colts and the Chargers. Eddie

143
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Garrison is back in the mix here from his vacation.

144
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: That means that you are saying, calla lily.

145
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: You got to be background, right.

146
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 7: Oh no, that's you celebrating, Jake. I knew you woke

147
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 7: up this morning and you just had a different pep

148
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 7: in your step because you knew that Eddie Garrison.

149
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: Was back in the saddle. Did you miss me?

150
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 7: I know, Corbin probably did a good job, but it was.

151
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: It was Thursday before I realized you were gone. To

152
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: be honest, I doubt it. It was probably three minutes

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: into the show on Monday. Where did you go for vacation? Florida?

154
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Where in Florida? A city? Did you get me?

155
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Their?

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: You sun burnt? No? I am not sunburned. How was

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: the weather, oh, Jake, it was perfect? Was it really?

158
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Low eighties?

159
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 7: A slight breeze every day?

160
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 8: Oh?

161
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 7: It was just absolutely glorious. And you drove right, drove yes? Okay,

162
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 7: we left uh seven am last Saturday, got there at

163
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 7: eight o'clock local time.

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Thirteen hours not bad. You must have

165
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: been in the Panhandle. You are correct? Okay, you know.

166
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this or not, but

167
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: it's fun anytime you meet somebody from a different state

168
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: to say, now, is that near the Panhandle?

169
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 7: And then we left, let's see eight am Eastern. We

170
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 7: got back about nine thirty Saturday night.

171
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: Do you know the only state with multiple panhandles? Colts

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: won yesterday?

173
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 8: Right?

174
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: They did? West Virginia the only state with multiple panhandles.

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: So look there. You can look at yesterday's Colts game

176
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: one of two ways, and there might be truth in both.

177
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: There may be truth in the fact that what you're

178
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: seeing right now is a franchise in the Colts where

179
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: it's all come together and you can't even say, hey,

180
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: it's all come together just because they are healthy, No,

181
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: because they're not. Their defensive backfield is continues to be

182
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: an area a big question, you know, Mooney Ward. Now

183
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: we now know over the course of the weekend. Everybody

184
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: knows this by now going on the IR he's out

185
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: at least four games. Yes, they are eventually get to

186
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: get some players back, Jalen Jones being a big one

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: in that regard. But they yesterday think about the plays

188
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: that they got. You know, as I was watching that game,

189
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: there was a play that happened and I instantly rewound

190
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: and I watched it again, and I thought to myself

191
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: that right there, that right there is the most symbolic

192
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: play of so far this cold season. And there's still

193
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: plenty of football to play. Although I gotta admit, when

194
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: you look at it, you're like, okay, wait a minute,

195
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: tennessee at home two touchdown favorites already, and then you

196
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: go to Pittsburgh fourteen and a half points, and then

197
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: you go overseas and you take on Atlanta. I mean,

198
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: at the very least two of those three are extremely

199
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: manageable heading into the buy yep, And I would say

200
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: all three are. But nonetheless, I'm watching the game and

201
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: a play happens, and I thought to myself, this play,

202
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: this moment, this illustration perfectly symbolizes the Colts to this point.

203
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: And by that I mean Justin Herbert, who I think

204
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: the world of. I think he's a very good quarterback.

205
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: He's mobile, he's got a big arm, he could extend plays.

206
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the world Justin Herbert, and Justin Herbert literally

207
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: had paper mache protecting him yesterday, and it was almost

208
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: like paper mache that that had gotten wet, which actually

209
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: I guess wet paper mache probably is is harder to

210
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: break through. But nonetheless, I digress. Herbert throws to the

211
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: end zone. Doesn't mean it's Hotpodgs then, yes, like literally,

212
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: their offensive line is as depleted an organization and a

213
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: unit as there is anywhere for any team in the NFL.

214
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: But Herbert drops back, he throws into the end zone

215
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: and it looks for sure like a touchdown, and you

216
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: think to yourself, the football in the NFL is a

217
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: game of inches. The Colts are probably eighteen inches from undefeated,

218
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: because if Ady Mitchell goes another foot and a half

219
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: before he drops the football, they're unbeaten. Right then again,

220
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: they are just inches from that not being the case

221
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: because Denver gets that leverage call where the guy jumps

222
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: just high enough where they decide to throw a flag.

223
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: It's a game of inches. But in this particular situation,

224
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: justin Herbert throws to the end zone and it looks

225
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: like a sure touchdown. But Nick Cross. Nick Cross a

226
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: player that was drafted to the Colts based on athleticism,

227
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: and there was some question whether or not they reached

228
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: on drafting him when they did, but the Colts said,

229
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: we are confident he can grow into the position. Yes,

230
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: we had a player in what was his name, e J.

231
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: Green out of Clemson that we drafted to be a

232
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: safety based on athleticism, and it never panned out and

233
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: it washed out and sometimes you get burnt by that.

234
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: But in this situation, we're going to try it again

235
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: because we believe this guy can grow into a player

236
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: if he can just learn instinct and feel he has range.

237
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: And so here he is as the ball is sailing

238
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: towards the end zone and they're testing the player that

239
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: initially was a thought to be reach potential guy for

240
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: the Colts, and it looks like a sure touchdown for

241
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: the Los Angeless Chargers. But then Nick Cross makes one

242
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: slight tweak of his body. He makes one slight turn

243
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: to his left, and before you know it, just as

244
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: you realize that that one little tweak is taking place,

245
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball falls right into his lap. He made a

246
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: heck of a play, a one arm grabbed essentially, but

247
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: it was a takeaway. It denies a touchdown, and it's

248
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: a key pivotal play for the Colts amongst a handful

249
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: of those they had yesterday. But it perfectly symbolized where

250
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: the Colts are right now because we all assumed, we

251
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: all assumed when the Colts got Daniel Jones that they

252
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: were that was a reach. There was no way this

253
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: guy was going to be able to play. We all

254
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: assumed when Chris Ballard, and give him credit, said I'm

255
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: trying to build depth in my trenches, say on the

256
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: offensive line and I thin feel like we have weapons

257
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: that we can move the ball around. And look, I

258
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: know you guys all want to sit here and ask

259
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: me about Anthony Richardson, but there are other players on

260
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: the roster. We all assumed when that was the case,

261
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: that those were all a reach, that that was all

262
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: a project. And yet the Colts going into this season

263
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: made one tweak. Essentially, they made one little turn, and

264
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: that turn was deciding to challenge their young quarterback by

265
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: seeing what they had out of a veteran quarterback. And

266
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: we will never know because we'll never get the truth

267
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: out of it. We'll never know whether they signed Daniel

268
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Jones because they said to themselves, this guy's MVP level

269
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: and he's been on a place that has wasted him,

270
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: or if they said, we got to get somebody in

271
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: here that can push Anthony Richardson and give him a

272
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: wake up call, so we'll do this guy, and then

273
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: it turned out for them. We'll never know if it

274
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: was serendipitous or fortuitous. We don't know, but we don't

275
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: care because Daniel Jones is playing at right now. He

276
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: was the one tweak, the one adjustment that all of

277
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, now this dream season has fallen right there

278
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and you look down and you're like, oh my gosh,

279
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: the ball's right here in my lap. And I just

280
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: made an unbelievable one handed grab and completed this play.

281
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: And that's where they are right now.

282
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 9: Now.

283
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren has a lot to do with it as well,

284
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: and he is going to be the most valuable or

285
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: excuse me, the rookie of the year offensively in the

286
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: NFL because he changes everything that they do. He changes

287
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: everything that they do. But the Colts, believe it or not.

288
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Six and one, and Eddie, when you look at it

289
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: and you look at the AFC, now, the one thing

290
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: that is of concern. I said, if there's one thing

291
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: that's of concern, it's this. If I were to ask you, Eddie,

292
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: who you assume, once at all balances out and once

293
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: we've seen the you know, everything, in terms of the

294
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: rest of the conference in seventeen games, who would you

295
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: assume are the teams that the Colts are going to

296
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: have to go through or that are going to have

297
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: to come through Indianapolis in order to get to the super.

298
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 7: Bowl, potentially Kansas City.

299
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: That would be one.

300
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 7: And I either one of the Denver Broncos or the

301
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 7: LA Chargers again, Okay, I have to face them. Probably

302
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 7: depending on how things shake up in the AFC East,

303
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 7: it could be Buffalo.

304
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Buffalo, I think is this is the fair pick here, right,

305
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: assuming everything stays healthy or New England depends. But the

306
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: one area of concern would be this and and I'm

307
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: literally I'm dropping one little sprinkle of a pepper in here.

308
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Otherwise in a fabulous meal. The one area of concern

309
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: would be if those two quarterbacks, if it comes down

310
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: to it, where you've had this incredible season and they

311
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: stay the Colts, assuming they stay healthy and they're on

312
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: the same trajectory, they absolutely need to make certain to

313
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: put themselves in position in the postseason. There are two

314
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are there, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. I

315
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: think we can safely say Cincinnati now probably without Burrow.

316
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean, even if Burrow comes back, if they catch heat.

317
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: But we're gonna take Burrow out of the equation and

318
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: what And that's dangerous to do, I realize. But Allen

319
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: and Mahomes, those are two guys that typically a late

320
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: playoff game comes down to a drive or two and

321
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: you got to get a stop, and you got to

322
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: get a stop. And even if you're at home, even

323
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: with that Colts offense, which is listen, the way that

324
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: Colts offense is humming, then it's gonna take a an

325
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: offense with a big armed, rhythm quarterback to knock them off. Okay,

326
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: And with that said, there are two offenses in those

327
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: two that you have to get pressure on them in

328
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: a late drive situation and just get one or two

329
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: stops or one or two rushes, because those guys, if

330
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: they have any time whatsoever, will carve you apart when

331
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: it matters most. And the one area right now that

332
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: is a kryptonite for the Colts is they are not

333
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: able to get that pressure when it matters most. Leatu Latu,

334
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: who is one of the guys, DeForest Buckner build a statue.

335
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: Forest Buckner has been a leader. He's been all the

336
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: terms you want to use, all of them. That guy

337
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: is worth now. Granted when they traded for him, that

338
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: is a draft pick they could have used to say,

339
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: take Justin Herbert, but that's panned itself out now because

340
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: they have themselves a quarterback. DeForest Buckner is a man.

341
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner is a leader. He is a defensive stud

342
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: He's all of it. I'm here for DeForest Buckner build

343
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: the statue, but he can't do it by himself. And

344
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: you have repeatedly gone back to the roulette wheel to

345
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: try to get yourself pass rush and Lee Latu and

346
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: I realized the jury is still out, and I realize

347
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: he's still young. But what I do and I realized

348
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: yesterday he got I think too, you know, two rushers

349
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. But when it came down to it

350
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: and you needed stops and you needed a drive at

351
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: the end of that game just to keep it at

352
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: bay Leatu, Latu was on the sideline and had to

353
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: come out of the game because and and hit the

354
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: oxygen because he wore himself out. Now again young player,

355
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: jury still out. But that is the guy that remember

356
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: he was the best defensive player in the draft. He

357
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: fell to the Colts. He was the number one defensive player.

358
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: He was the best pass rusher, et cetera. That has

359
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: to get going and they need it now because it

360
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: literally is the one missing piece. But I don't want

361
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: to sit here and dwell on say the negative over

362
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: and over and over on it. But it is something

363
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: that we are going to talk a lot about over

364
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Because the trade deadline coming two

365
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: weeks from tomorrow, it would be assumed that the cults

366
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: are going to have to make some move to get

367
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: some help in that pass rush. And I know that

368
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: that's hard to do because that would be admitting fault

369
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: in an area that you have invested heavily in terms

370
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: of your scouting. You're drafting your building. But the other

371
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: area where you already admitted fault and waved the white

372
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: flag was quarterback and look what it did for you.

373
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Look what it did for you. And kudos in credit

374
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: to Ballard Stike in all of it for saying, you

375
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,479
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna give this a fair shake. And

376
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: that's where they are. And then the other thing that

377
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. I'm telling you right now, and

378
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: it's not just because I find Ohio State laborious. I

379
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: know Ohio State is fabulous. You would be a fool

380
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: to think that Ohio State has even begun to take

381
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: their foot off of the accelerator, or excuse me to

382
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: put their foot down on the accelerator. I'm in Ohio State.

383
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: I think at this point we know that Ohio State

384
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: in postseason football and playoff. You know, they can flip

385
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: a switch and go I get it, and they are

386
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: loaded every position. And Ryan Day is a tremendous football

387
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: coach and Ohio State. I'm not here to argue in

388
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form the number one ranking of

389
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but in terms of totality, in terms of

390
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: resume to this point, the most impressive win and then

391
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: turning around and backing it up, the Indiana Fight and

392
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: Hoosiers are the best team in college football right now

393
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: in terms of those things and what Indiana does, which

394
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: to me is so impressive. Teams that aren't used to success,

395
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: teams that aren't used to success, typically when they get it,

396
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: they squander it and their focus goes away. And this

397
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: team literally in every single aspect of from the pregame

398
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: to the end of the game to the post game,

399
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Indiana is so locked in. And it obviously it goes

400
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: back to Kurt Signetti. I mean see you see him

401
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: on the sidelines in his pregame interviews. Well, we just

402
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: got to go out there and we got execute, not

403
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: make mistakes, make sure they do make mistakes, take advantage

404
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: of their mistakes. I mean just it's like a robot.

405
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 7: It was every cliche that you could possibly have.

406
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: But it's the best because that's exactly what they do.

407
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: If you go in to take on Indiana and you're

408
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: waiting for Indiana to make a mistake, you're gonna be

409
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: waiting a long time because they go out and they

410
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: simply now they I mean literally, you want to talk

411
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: about foot and accelerator. Theirs is down all the time,

412
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: fourth and four going for a touchdown, fourth and goal

413
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: from the four with eleven minutes to go up twenty five. Yeah,

414
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably could have kicked a field goal there, right,

415
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: and you throw that, you throw almost perfect pass and

416
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: in perfect play, but you know William's foot half a

417
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: foot is out of bounds. But they just Indiana with

418
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: their precision, their their attention to detail. They go out

419
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: and they literally and Mendoza is playing. I mean right now,

420
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: he is the Heisman front runner. He represents everything that

421
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: has gone right for Indiana, and there's a ton that

422
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: goes into it. In terms of this Indiana turnaround. Somebody

423
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: asked me today which is a bigger surprise Colts leading

424
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: the AFC or Indiana second in the country, and the

425
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: answer is it's the Colts because Indiana was just playing

426
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs ten months ago, so you knew the

427
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: foundation was there and we can now say it literally is.

428
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: And the other thing about Indiana that is remarkable they're

429
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: doing this with players that were not elite five star

430
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: a cap dance twenty four to seven on ESPN under

431
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: Armour All American Game College Announcement recruits. And will they

432
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: be able to sustain it once those guys inevitably because

433
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: Indiana is now on that Mount Rushmore, once those guys

434
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: start coming, does Indiana sustain this or is Indiana winning

435
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: because they have guys that buy into that focus of

436
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: we've been overlooked for a while, but now look at us,

437
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: and my coach tells me, we got to just keep

438
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: going at this pace in order to keep this up

439
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to I'm a five star. Those are all

440
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: questions for another time, but we're gonna soak it in

441
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: right now with Colts. Are you all of it? Don

442

00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: Tom Noi from South Bend joins the program and a

445
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: question for you folks basketball wise, PACER's getting underway on Thursday,

Speaker 10: It's twelve thirty.

00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: It's Fish.

451
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: There's a throw by Medza Wine open. This time it

452
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: is surround ten yard line, five yard line touch. This

453
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: time they did the Kailani.

454
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 6: Tackle.

455
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: Fernando looks, looks, fires down the middle of the feel

456
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: he's got a man. It's over. It's a tough down.

457
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: Fernando fires us friend to the Endzon and it is common.

458
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: Another tremendous grab for a tough town fire like this

459
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: surround the voice of the Hoosiers, Don Fisher joining Query

460
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: in company on ninety three five and one oh seven

461
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: five the fan. Let me tell you how you know

462
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: that everything is running fabulously for your college football team.

463
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: It goes without saying that when you are unblemished that

464
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: things are going well. It goes without saying when you're

465
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: quarterback that things are going well, and it goes without

466
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: saying that you are ranked number two in the country

467
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: things are going well. But the ultimate tell tale may

468
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: be when you turn on the football broadcast, as you

469
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: could do on this radio station and you hear the

470
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: play by play analyst and the color analysts before the

471
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: game discussing whether or not the Bison mascot actually condunk

472
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: and or ride a Harley. When you hear that, you

473
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: say to yourself, this means everything is perfect in Hoo's

474
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: your land. Don Fisher, the voice of the Hoosiers, joins us, Now,

475
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: that's a pretty fair assessment, is it not, Don.

476
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: Pretty good? Pretty good? It makes me laugh.

477
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: However, it was cracking me up because Shannon and I

478
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: are listening to the game and you guys were breaking

479
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: down like the vertical leap and or the size of

480
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: the Bison, and listen, Don, and then the game gets underway,

481
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I was just saying it. I think

482
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: at times, over the course of a game. You know,

483
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti an inner. You know you know this obviously

484
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: in talking to him. He is at times so concise

485
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: and so direct on what he wants and what he

486
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: expects in a game, and he can just fire off

487
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the cliches like that, right, And then you watch his

488
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: team though, and it truly carries the character and the

489
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: message of the coach. Because I am just still pinching

490
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: myself over the efficiency of Indiana, both on offense and defense.

491
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 1: I just don I don't know that I've seen a

492
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: team and I don't mean this to blow the smoke,

493
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: but I just don't know that I've seen a team

494
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: that plays as smart and as efficient as I've seen

495
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: from Indiana. Does this remind you of other programs that

496
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you've seen or other teams over the years.

497
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: It does.

498
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 10: I mean, when you think about that kind of efficiency,

499
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 10: that kind of.

500
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: The way they go about things, and I.

501
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 10: Don't want to compare it to who I'm going to

502
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 10: compare it to, but it it does remind me of

503
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 10: the Ohio States and the Michigan of the past, not

504
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 10: necessarily now so much, but of the past of the

505
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 10: teams I've watched on television, the Alabama's, those type of

506
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 10: ball clubs, and I'm not saying that Indiana is in

507
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 10: that category yet, but it looks like that. It looks like, Man,

508
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 10: these guys are good, they really are. They do the

509
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 10: things their coach is asking them to do. It's got disciplined,

510
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 10: it's got toughness, it's got all those things that coach

511
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 10: Signetti talks about at this juncture, and it looks so good.

512
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 10: Not just the average fan, but to guys that are experts,

513
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 10: Urban Meyers said this is the best coach team in

514
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 10: the country, and he said that recently. So I'm all

515
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 10: I can tell you at this juncture is that what

516
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 10: we're seeing at Indiana University historic in just about every

517
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 10: way you can think of.

518
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: And don when you look at the roster and I know, look,

519
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: you know Sarat is a phenomenal player. And it goes

520
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: without saying I mean what Mendoza is doing again, efficient

521
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: is the word that keeps coming to mind. But when

522
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: I look at just the totality of Indiana football, I

523
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: wonder this, how much of this is because he's been

524
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: able to get guys to buy in? Because I'm not

525
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: saying all and I mean it is no disrespect to

526
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: the previous stops for some of them, but there's like

527
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: this chip on the shoulder right of that Signetti himself

528
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of has of like, yeah, I might have been

529
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: at JMU, but you know what, like I just went

530
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: Google me and and all of these guys are buying

531
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: into it. How has he been able to get guys

532
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: to put the team accomplishment above personal accomplishment when they

533
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: when some of these guys had personal vendetta against reputation.

534
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 10: Well, in my opinion, the reason he's able to do

535
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 10: that with players is because he researches players. He researches

536
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 10: what these guys are like, what kind of character do

537
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 10: they have, what's their performance been like when they have

538
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 10: been out there in the field. We're talking about portal

539
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 10: guys now, but he does the same thing with high

540
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 10: school kids who he recruits. He's looking at this at

541
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 10: the total picture of a player, not just in the

542
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 10: sense of his physical prowess or how he has played

543
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 10: from a talent perspective. He's also looking at the guy internally.

544
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 10: If you know what I'm saying, what this kid's mindset is,

545
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 10: how's he approaching coming to Indiana? Is money the most

546
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 10: important thing?

547
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 2: You know?

548
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 10: All those kinds of factors that now coaches have to

549
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 10: look into and if they don't. If they don't, they're

550
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 10: not going to get the guy they're looking for. And

551
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 10: that requires then probably having to replace that guy because

552
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 10: that guy is going to transfer, or if you're if

553
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 10: you if you want to continue to play with him,

554
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 10: does he fit the mold of what you're trying to

555
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 10: build with your program. So there are so many factors

556
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 10: involved in this thing right now. But more than anything else,

557
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 10: what Signetti looks for is character first.

558
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: And then the other things. And I couldn't put.

559
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 10: Him in the order that perhaps he would, but all

560
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 10: the things we talked about at this point, it gives

561
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 10: you some idea of why this team looks like it

562
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 10: does right now because he has built this team, constructed

563
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 10: this team through his research.

564
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Don I literally feel like I need to say this

565
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: and then run like out of the building, okay, because

566
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: I get it from an and I mean it is

567
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the highest of compliments for Indiana. I feel like the

568
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: what Kurt Signetti has done and what you're talking about

569
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: in terms of roster build is kind of the football

570
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: equivalent of what Matt Painter doesn't Purdue. And I know

571
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: Indiana fans don't want to hear that comparison, but my

572
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: point being, and I know you think the world of

573
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, Matt as a basketball coach. There just is

574
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: an ability that some coaches have. Sometimes it separates coaches

575
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: of understanding people right and just and being able to

576
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: assess people and put people together. And for Kurt Signetti

577
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: it's worked beautifully. Obviously with Fernanda Mendoza, this is one

578
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: of them that I saw a comment afterwards for Mendoza

579
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: where I'm watching him and I'm thinking, this is the

580
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: antithesis of the stereotype of big, like successful jock quarterback,

581
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: because he was this humble team first in comment guy,

582
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: And so I was curious how much time you have

583
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to Fernanda Mendoza and just

584
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: kind of your overall assessment of what kind of young

585
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: man he is and that is enabling him to be

586
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: and have this kind of a season. Brindiana.

587
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 10: Well, the truth of the matter is, I haven't spoke

588
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 10: to Fernando yet.

589
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: I have not.

590
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 10: I haven't had a chance to I've literally it's not

591
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 10: that I've been kept away from him or he from me.

592
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 10: It's simply that because of the demands on him at

593
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 10: this point, I'm sure acting you protecting him a lot

594
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 10: from a lot of the things that happened, and I

595
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 10: just haven't had a chance to interact with him in

596
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 10: any way, shape or form. However, I've seen his interviews

597
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 10: with you know, in the post game scenarios and that

598
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 10: kind of stuff where he's talked to the rest of

599
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 10: the media and what kind of questions are asked and

600
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 10: the kind of answers he's given, and he is exactly

601
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 10: as you as you've said.

602
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: Very humble.

603
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 10: Team first talks about how he must get in there

604
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 10: and look at film and how much work he does

605
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,959
Speaker 10: in that regard what the coaches say about him. He's

606
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 10: a very coachable guy. He listens intently and he studies intently.

607
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 10: And so from that perspective and from the personality that

608
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 10: I've seen him as Zoos in these press conferences and

609
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 10: so on, I'm really impressed with the kid because all

610
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 10: he does is talk about I've got to get better.

611
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 10: The things that I do sometimes are not the right thing,

612
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 10: so to speak. He says, I make mistakes, and I've

613
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 10: got to correct those mistakes. It's again, it's the character

614
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 10: of the kid we're talking about here, and that's why

615
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 10: all of these guys are successful, because that's the kind

616
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 10: of kid that Kurt Signetti goes after. And when you

617
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 10: talk to almost any of these players, and I mean

618
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 10: virtually anybody that Signetti has brought on campus to be

619
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 10: a part of this football team, they've got the same

620
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 10: type of personality.

621
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: To speak.

622
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's there's differences in every kid or in every

623
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 10: young adult that comes into IU. But they all think

624
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 10: the same way. They're all thinking the same things, and

625
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 10: he definitely demands that kind of thinking process when it

626
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 10: comes to his players. And if they don't buy into it,

627
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 10: see you later.

628
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's in. You can just tell it, right,

629
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it literally is. Everybody is laser focused on

630
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: the same thing from on each play. But let me

631
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: ask you, Don, Don Fisher, our guests, he's on the

632
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: Joba House, peel and poor guest line. We're talking Indiana football,

633
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: the number two ranked now Indiana Hoosiers. Lastly, Don, and

634
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: I asked this just because you know, you see every

635
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: play and you know whether between you and Bucker whoever

636
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: you talk to, is there an achilles? I mean, is

637
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: there an area with this Indiana football team that you

638
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: say to yourself, Look, this is great, but there there's

639
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: still an area that I know they need to shore

640
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: up that could bite them. And it's this.

641
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 10: I don't have that area, Jake, I'm not that smart.

642
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 10: I can just tell you I don't know what area

643
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 10: that would be, no idea. Yeah, I mean there's just

644
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 10: nothing I can point to. The One thing I've said,

645
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 10: and I said this to you before, and I've said

646
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 10: it to anybody who asked me questions about Indiana right now.

647
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 10: Who's going to beat this team? And my answer is

648
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 10: a team with more talent, a lot more talent than

649
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 10: what Indiana has, and they've also got to be a

650
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 10: really good football program under their coach. So I'm not

651
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 10: going to sit here and say that Indiana is not

652
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 10: going to get beat and then that they couldn't be

653
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 10: upset or anything like that, because we don't know. We've

654
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 10: only I mean, we've played some really good ball games

655
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 10: against some really good football teams at this point. And

656
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 10: obviously the biggest newie or new beyond that block is

657
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 10: the Oregon Ducks, who nobody thought, almost nobody thought could

658
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 10: beat Oregon at their place, and it happened a couple

659
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 10: of weeks ago. So at this juncture, Jake, I can't

660
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 10: answer that. But one thing I do want to say,

661
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 10: from what you asked me earlier, you brought up Matt

662
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 10: Painter and his philosophy and how he goes about things.

663
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 10: There's not much difference you can say about these two programs.

664
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 10: I'm talking about the basketball Purdue and the football at

665
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 10: Indiana right now, and I think you're going to see

666
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 10: something very similar to what we see from Matt Painter

667
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 10: and t Signetti.

668
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: And the new guy, Darren de Brees. I really believe that.

669
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what that was. You know, obviously

670
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: done from the basketball standpoint, Darren de Brees has done

671
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: so far, you know, all the right things. And certainly

672
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: the players that have come in have been bought in

673
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: from what we can see so far. And I think

674
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Offensively, they're going to be awfully

675
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: fun to watch. You know, I don't know how good

676
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: they'll be this particular year, but their style and they're

677
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: not afraid to shoot threes, I think they're going to

678
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: be awfully fun to watch.

679
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 10: Oh, they're going to be so much fun to watch

680
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 10: because not only do they put up a ton of frees,

681
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 10: and we saw that in the first exhibition game. And

682
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 10: you know what, they're going to be teams that try

683
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 10: to take that away and you won't be shooting as

684
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 10: many as they did in the first matchup with Marion,

685
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 10: which is thirty maybe fifteen. But at the same time,

686
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 10: you're going to see a basketball team that I'm telling

687
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 10: you Indiana fans so get a chance to watch this

688
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 10: IU basketball team early in this season, are going to

689
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 10: fall in love with them because they play the way

690
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 10: you should play basketball at Indiana and the way you

691
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 10: should play basketball any place in that regard. And that's

692
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 10: for really tough defense, really playing their butts off all

693
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 10: the time, and they're going to compete like crazy. And

694
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 10: you're right, nobody really knows how good this talent level

695
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 10: is with this particular group. And they've got some they've

696
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 10: got some areas that are not as strong as some

697
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 10: of the teams are going to face in the Big Ten.

698
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 10: But I believe that they're going to compete every single

699
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 10: night that they play because this guy demands it.

700
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: Don I think if I'm not mistaken here, you've got

701
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: three or four more weeks here that you can get

702
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: in some golf. Is that about right?

703
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 10: Well, we're about to We're about to enter November, of

704
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 10: which the golf court, the golf bag mitys will be

705
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 10: put in the trunk and not be used to do

706
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 10: until next spring because I just got too much going

707
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 10: on with football and basketball.

708
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Well that's what I was going to say. Is now

709
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: you're like, well, hey, that's fine, because I got a

710
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: top five football team and an up and coming basketball team.

711
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: To deal with like, it's all good, right, life's good

712
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: for Don Fisher.

713
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. It can't get much better than.

714
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: This, Don. We appreciate the time as always, and the

715
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: Hoosiers and UCLA coming up Saturday at noon. Of course

716
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: you can hear that with Don on the call as well.

717
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Don, thanks for having me, Jake, Don Fisher

718
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: on the job, House Peel and poor guest line we

719
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: come back. I had asked yesterday for your summary of

720
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: the Colts season. I will read some of the best

721
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: of those, and Mike Chapel joins us coming up in

722
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: just under fifteen. So I always ask at the end

723
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: of each game for contribution from you. We had Eddie,

724
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: you were gone. We had on Thursday. Okay, we basically

725
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: had a foo bar Thursday. Really yeah, we sent out

726
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: a pigeon carrier. It died. Oh we are a carrier pigeon,

727
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: I should say it died. The phone lines were down,

728
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: the I think the internet was down. We try to

729
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: get people to write outside and notes to us on

730
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: the window, but we're no longer. We can't see outside.

731
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: So well, here's to say they could even get here, Jake,

732
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: because you know, they're still working on the stand. But

733
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: by the way, what's going on with Capital. I'm driving

734
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: down Capitol today, I'm like, where did this come from?

735
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, so we did on I believe it was Friday,

736
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: we did an interactive basically it was the a Redo

737
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: Interactive Friday because I felt bad about the fact that

738
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: it was just me on Thursday. And trust me, I

739
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: know people don't agree with it or don't believe this,

740
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: but less of me, more of you probably better. But

741
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: I always ask the question after each Colts game to

742
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: summarize for me. Your thoughts on the cold season were

743
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: through seven games, so I went with seven summarizing seven

744
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: words or fewer your thoughts on the Colts so far

745
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: this season? Eric, when I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.

746
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: Our buddy Moe in Ohio. Amazing how one player changes

747
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: confidence and cohesion. That is seven actually because he used

748
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: the amper stamp or whatever the hell it's called for,

749
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: and so he saved himself a word there, Mark James,

750
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 1: you have to trust the process. Chris. Keep giving Jonathan

751
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: Taylor the dang ball Jackson. Something magical is happening in

752
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: Indiana sports.

753
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 2: Now.

754
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: This is one that I think there are probably a

755
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: lot of people that feel in the back of their

756
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: mind from ump guy defense needs bolstered. Otherwise the tides change.

757
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: I do think pass rush, for certain is something that

758
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: they need to address. But the overwhelming theme here this

759
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: team is really fun to watch. Better than expected still

760
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: haven't played anyone. That one is interesting because when you

761
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: say better than expected, still haven't played anyone, I don't

762
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: disagree to an extent, but then you look at it

763
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: and you go But that's the point for this team,

764
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: they haven't played anyone. For a below average or subpar team,

765
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: the Rams are playing someone, The Chargers are playing someone, right,

766
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos are playing someone. But when you are clicking

767
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: at thirty points per game, and you've got a running

768
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: back that's playing at an MVP level, and you've got

769
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's making all the right decisions, including at

770
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: times the mundane ones because it gets out of disaster,

771
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: and you have a tight end that is a cheat code,

772
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: and you have a wide receiver that has come out

773
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: of his shell from getting away from just being a

774
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: deep ball receiver and rather being one that is wherever

775
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: you need him to be an Alec Pierce, and you

776
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: have Michael Pittman that's blocking for all of those that

777
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, and you have Ashton Doolan that is

778
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: just waiting his turn. When you have all of those

779
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: and you have an offensive line that when Quentin Nelson

780
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: was drafted and Jim Mersey said, Quinton, Man, you know

781
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like Hannah and that literally in Bordolini's

782
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: playing well, and the right side's playing well, and the

783
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: line is protecting. When you have all those things that

784
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: come together. Yes, in fact, you say they haven't played

785
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: anybody yet because to this team, everybody, to nobody, and

786
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: whoever would have guessed that was going to be the case.

787
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: Mike Chappa might have will asking me joined us next

788
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: an unfortunate song in our automated musical bounceback scenario. Considering

789
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: the story that just came out, I think while we're

790
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: in the break, Eddie is when this news came out.

791
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, correct, Yeah, I.

792
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 7: Just saw this about a minute ago from Ryan Hendrick

793
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 7: from over at WYBC. I'll hit the breaking new sounder Jake.

794
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: Again. I'm waiting to find exactly where this was that

795
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: the Eddie do you happen to You just want to

796
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: read what it was that you saw.

797
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, sorry, I was getting Mike on hold. They're getting

798
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 7: them ready, Ryan Hendrick. Of of course, our sister station

799
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 7: ninety three WYBC just a minute ago at Sure to

800
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 7: cover on ex Pacers rookie Cam Jones was just arrested

801
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 7: after a brief police chase on I sixty five in Indianapolis.

802
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 7: The pursuit ended near Fletcher Avenue exit in Fountain Square.

803
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 7: The team says they are aware of the situation Cam Jones,

804
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 7: who has been hurt. He has not played over the

805
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 7: course of the preseason, and of course, the rookie out

806
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 7: of Marquette was their top draft choice in this past

807
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 7: off season. We will monitor what that means for Cam

808
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 7: Jones and find out more about that story as it

809
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 7: goes along. Joining us now on the Java House, Peel

810
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 7: and Port guest line. He is the dean of writers

811
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 7: when it comes to covering the Colt Sea has been

812
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 7: doing so since the Mayflowers arrived. He is with WXI

813
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 7: in box fifty nine and CBS four Mike Chappell joining us.

814
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: Chapel. I will begin with this question, and I'm a

815
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: little hesitant to go this way with it because it

816
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm being negative. That's not the case at all.

817
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: But with this team, you know, they are playing at

818
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: such a level that some of the talking points are

819
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: the obvious. So I'll start with this. Do you believe

820
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 1: they will make a move to try to address pass

821
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: rush between now and the trade deadline?

822
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 11: Yes, they have to. I mean they have to explore.

823
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 11: I hope it's it's serious exploration whether and we can

824
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 11: argue pass rush or corner I would take a pass

825
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 11: rusher any day, but the secondary is so depleted. The secondary,

826
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 11: the corners are so depleted. I in this instance, I

827
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 11: would probably opt for a cornerback. First of all, it's

828
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 11: going to be it's probably gonna be cheaper to get

829
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 11: you a cornerback. As far as what it will take

830
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 11: to give him, I know people point to Trey hendrickson

831
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 11: the fact that Bengals well in last week and are

832
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 11: still sort of in it. But boy, I'm not sure

833
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 11: how you make him fit. He's got like twenty nine

834
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 11: million dollars. I realize that's pro rated. But and you

835
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 11: can do wonderful things with the salary cap. You can

836
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 11: make it sing, you really can, but that that would

837
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 11: be a stretch. I hope they find a corner and

838
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 11: not and not a guy. I'm talking a guy you

839
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 11: know Italics who can step in and play. And you know,

840
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 11: obviously getting the guy now there's reason you're getting in.

841
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 11: But in this case, it's probably from a team that's

842
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 11: not in the chase, and it's a guy that's been

843
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 11: playing so often. You know, you bring in a free

844
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 11: agent the Sapien Howard Mike Hilton to a few lesser degree,

845
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 11: who hasn't been playing well.

846
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 2: If you get a.

847
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 11: Guy now he's been playing and he's let go for

848
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 11: a reason the team's and he's not playing well or whatever,

849
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 11: I will be surprised if they don't go out and

850
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 11: get a corner again, a pass rush who would make

851
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 11: more of a splash because.

852
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 2: It'll be a name. Yeah.

853
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, here's the thing. I think it's a little

854
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: bit of a chicken and egg thing here, Okay, but

855
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: you can their their defensive backfield has been depleted by

856
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: injury to your point, right, and they've had to and

857
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 1: I think, to be honest with you, and you made

858
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I know, the xavient Howard thing. You know,

859
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: but as you start to get some guys back, in

860
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: particular and Nick Cross was picked on pretty heavily yesterday.

861
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: He had that pick, but other than that, I thought

862
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: they went to him a lot. There's probably a reason

863
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: that you can say that, but you can get away

864
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: with in my opinion, and I want you, as somebody

865
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: who knows football, to tell me if you agree or disagree,

866
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: you can get away with average to slightly below average

867
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: corner play more often than not if you are rushing

868
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: a passer into having to throw it. The longer that

869
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback has time, the more a depletion in your

870
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: defensive backfield is exposed.

871
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 11: I don't disagree, and that's why I say and in

872
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 11: most cases I take a pass rusher because I should think.

873
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 11: You know, Dwight Freeney, Hall of Famer, he can make

874
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 11: three plays in a game and standing there twilling his

875
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 11: thumbs for fifty plays and he wins a game for you.

876
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 11: That's extreme, I realized. But I just think in this case,

877
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 11: I thought that it's kind of crazy. I thought the

878
00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 11: pressure was okay Sunday, three sacks. One of them was late,

879
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 11: maybe two of them are late, but I thought they

880
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 11: got they They moved Herbert A Rand a little bit,

881
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 11: which he's really good at doing moving up, moving side

882
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 11: to side, he threw the ball fifty five times. There's

883
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 11: you know, with that offensive line down to their fifth

884
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 11: and six tackles whatever, they should have gotten to him more.

885
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 11: But when you're playing corners like Jonathan Edwards started a

886
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 11: couple of games and and he was like their fourth

887
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 11: corner this this this week. So and Chris Lemons who

888
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 11: had the stop against McBride with the hold U didn't

889
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 11: play a ton. And the thing is they're not going

890
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 11: to get guys back anytime. So they got Kenny Moore back,

891
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 11: which is huge, but charge you know Mooney Ward's going

892
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 11: to miss four games at least with concussions.

893
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: You never know.

894
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 11: And Jalen Jones we've been given no indication when they

895
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 11: opened the twenty one day window with him. So right

896
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 11: now these are your corners. And I just I just

897
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 11: have enough faith that the pass freshers they got, although

898
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 11: now it's saying for that become. You don't know. With

899
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 11: the knee, I've been told it's not long term, but

900
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 11: you don't know. Taekwon Lewis with a growing you don't know.

901
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 11: I wouldn't mind both. I don't know that they can

902
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 11: swing that. But this is one and this isn't mortgage

903
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 11: in the future at all. This is your You're finding

904
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 11: a guy probably for one year, half a year, and

905
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 11: as long as the compensation makes sense. And you know,

906
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 11: I at this point in the season, I'll give up

907
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 11: a fifth round pick, a sixth round pick, a seventh

908
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 11: round pick. I will because I think that the opportunity

909
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 11: is there to do something. The rest of the league

910
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 11: is sort of muddling around. There's a few teams that

911
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 11: are that are starting to emerge, Kansas City and people

912
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 11: like that. But what what And now you've got a

913
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 11: two game lead in the AC South?

914
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 2: Who knows what?

915
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 11: How do you how do you figure out what Jacksonville is?

916
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 11: I don't know, but and Houston's got a tough game

917
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 11: coming up. So I think it makes so much sense.

918
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 11: I think the only in season trade the Ballads made

919
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 11: was Nahem Hines. I think is when Nahem wanted requested

920
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 11: a trade to Buffalo and they got Zach Boss, which

921
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 11: was a good trade, a really good trade. So I'm

922
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 11: not a wheeler dealer, you know, the fantasy football guy,

923
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 11: but I think this is this is a situation that

924
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 11: maybe you give up a little bit more than you

925
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 11: want to, but I think with it, you're just asking

926
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 11: the offense to do so much, you know, thirty three

927
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 11: points a game, and it's just it's just humming really well.

928
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 11: But can they do that every game? Maybe we're sitting

929
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 11: here in December to the man you came to either

930
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 11: so averaging thirty three points, but you can't be letting

931
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 11: a quarterback throw for four hundred yards and and all that.

932
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 11: Give me a corner number one and then.

933
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 12: Give me a pass rush if you flint one, Mike,

934
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 12: do you feel like the rental is the best way

935
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 12: to go considering where they're at with free agents coming

936
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 12: up after the season and Braden Smith, Daniel Jones, Alec Pearson,

937
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 12: nit Cross instead of you know, trying to trade for

938
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 12: a guy that may have a couple of years underneath

939
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 12: in terms of left on the contract.

940
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 11: Well, you may get that, Yeah, you may get it.

941
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 11: If it's a younger guy. You may get a guy

942
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 11: that's got two more years and the good part is

943
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 11: that you're getting you're getting his base salary. You're not

944
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 11: getting any of the signing bonus as well.

945
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: But you probably need to get first contract guy in

946
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: that situation.

947
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 11: Rights if you could, But you know, if you've got

948
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 11: a veteran guy who's got a year to go on

949
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 11: his contract and he's still playing high and again it's

950
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 11: because of the team. Cleveland is trying to dump somebody

951
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 11: because they're not going anywhere.

952
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 2: I would do that.

953
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, ideally you want a guy on his first contract

954
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 11: that's got two more years to go. But I wouldn't

955
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 11: be I wouldn't hesitate to do something for a veteran guy,

956
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 11: guy that's you know, been around, played five six years

957
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 11: and it is a one year rental. Who knows what

958
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 11: next year. Let's worry about next year next year. I've

959
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 11: always thought, like I say, long term in the NFL

960
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 11: used to be seven or eight years if you've got

961
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 11: Peyton Manning, but now it's like four years or three years.

962
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 11: And when you've got things going well, now take care

963
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 11: of now and again without without putting yourself in a

964
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 11: bind moving forward, which I don't think. There's really not

965
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 11: much of a way of making a trade that's going

966
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 11: to really hamstring you going forward. But no, you're right,

967
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 11: you've got Braden Smith, Nick Cross, Daniel Jones. They'll figure

968
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 11: all that out. They look ahead, but right now and

969
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 11: they can address I think they've got like six million

970
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 11: dollars in cap space, which is just a number. They

971
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 11: can go to Quintin, they can go to Buck maybe

972
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 11: somebody else. They can make the numbers. And I just

973
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 11: think if it looks good and it works for him,

974
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 11: I would make a move or two.

975
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: Yes, Mike Chapel is our guest. He's on the Joba

976
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: House Peel and Poor Guest line. By the way, Jake

977
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: twenty five the discount code if you would like to

978
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: purchase the Peel and Poor pods at job House. Mike,

979
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: the the job that Shane Steichen has done. Have you

980
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: seen you know, you've been around him, You cover the team,

981
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: you're in the weekly press conferences, et cetera. Is this

982
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: a guy you feel that had to make adjustments and

983
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: grow as a coach or was it rather he finally

984
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: now has the players around him, notably at the quarterback position,

985
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: that are delivering on what it was that he has

986
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 1: been doing all along.

987
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, both are true. He had to grow into the position,

988
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 11: but I think it just kind of it emphasizes how

989
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 11: restricted he's been the last couple of years because of

990
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 11: the quarterback situation. To wear and boil us, we don't

991
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 11: need to pile on Anthony Richards and we don't. But

992
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 11: to compare him and Daniel Jones is a disservice to

993
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 11: both because Richards has done so much talent, so much

994
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 11: incredible big play, but he doesn't have that down to

995
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 11: down mastery of things of consistency. Remember when Steichen said

996
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 11: find completions, and I've always tried to. I would never

997
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 11: call Daniel Jones a game manager, but boys, he managing

998
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 11: this offense.

999
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

1000
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 11: And that's not a knock at all. It's really kind

1001
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 11: of funny and I and I it hit me last

1002
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 11: night when I followed the quotes from the from the podium,

1003
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 11: somebody asked Jones about the offense and he said, well, no,

1004
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 11: he said, what really? You know, what I'm proud of

1005
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 11: is we're not doing anything out of the ordinary or crazy.

1006
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 11: And I've been saying that for the last month. They're

1007
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 11: just going out and play after play executing. Again, he's

1008
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 11: not doing anything crazy. Jonathan Taylor's I'm still waiting for

1009
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 11: Jonathan Taylor's game. You know, twenty five carries one hundred

1010
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 11: and ninety and all he's doing is wearing you down

1011
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 11: with brilliance. Michael Pittman is just having a good season,

1012
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 11: Tyler Warren. When you give Shane Stykeen a quarterback who

1013
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 11: runs the offense, reads the defenses, gets out of bad plays,

1014
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 11: gets into good plays, avoid sacks, and then you pair

1015
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 11: him with Jonathan Tabor, who is the Who's the best

1016
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 11: running back in the game right now? And it's all

1017
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 11: it's all year to year because last year was a

1018
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 11: sequon Barkley. But he's on pace for like twenty some

1019
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:52,959
Speaker 11: touchdowns again and seventeen hundred yards. This is I wrote

1020
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 11: about a while ago, and others have to.

1021
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 2: This is.

1022
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 11: This is Daniel Jones twenty twenty two when he had

1023
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 11: Barkley and the Giants went whatever was nine and seven,

1024
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 11: whatever it was, and made the playoffs. You're not asking

1025
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 11: to do too much, but but he's just making the

1026
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 11: right It's what seventy one seventy percent completions. I just

1027
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 11: posted something on on Twitter and I double and triple

1028
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 11: checked it is he's had one hundred plus rating in

1029
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 11: six out of seven games. And I went and checked

1030
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 11: how many Colts quarterbacks have had one hundred plus rating

1031
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 11: in six of their first seven games? And you know

1032
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 11: how mean it is. It's Daniel Jones that's it. Not Peyton,

1033
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 11: not Andrew Luck, not John Uniteds so in there, not

1034
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 11: like one one point fifty, it's like one thirteen, one

1035
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 11: oh one, one thirteen, you know, one oh five. It's

1036
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 11: just methodical and efficient. And that's why I say what

1037
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 11: they're doing it should sustain because you know, well what

1038
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 11: Tyler oron can't keep doing that? Well, why can't he?

1039
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 11: They haven't. Really, he's not hit that big game yet either.

1040
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 11: He's just kind of not too crazy with five catches

1041
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 11: and sixty yards and a touchdown, so and they're going

1042
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 11: to get Down's back. So I this is really, really,

1043
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 11: this is Shane Stike and being able to use his playbook,

1044
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 11: not a third of it, but all of it. I

1045
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 11: only hope, and knowing Shane the way I've gotten to

1046
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 11: know him over the last couple of years is he

1047
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 11: doesn't get you know, this is pretty fun.

1048
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Let's see if we can go to you know, page.

1049
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 11: One fourteen and pull this thing out a crazy play

1050
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 11: because he likes, he likes to do that. We saw

1051
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 11: that little last year and did and they'll they'll try

1052
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 11: some funky things with Tyler Warren. But boy, it's just

1053
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 11: fun to watch this offense it's not. It's not the

1054
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 11: pyrotechnics of Peyton and Marvin and Reggie and Edgern. It's different,

1055
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 11: but it's just just as effective.

1056
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Well, I think one of the things that's effective about

1057
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: it is is the clock management of it as well, right,

1058
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean in the fact that that you know they're

1059
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: able to sustain long drives and keep if you're going

1060
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: up against Chap a Buffalo or a Kansas City, and

1061
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: I know that those teams have had their their speed

1062
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: bumps to this point, although Kandsas City is starting to

1063
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: come to form a little bit, or even Cincinnati. If

1064
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: you're going up against a rhythm offense, the Colts offense

1065
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: to me is very dangerous because they can they can

1066
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: hold it on for six and a half seven minutes

1067
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: in efficiency and just keep you out of rhythm. Right,

1068
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very similar to the way that we

1069
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: saw teams try to play against the Peyton Manning Colts

1070
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: right right right, and that's you know, go ahead.

1071
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 11: Came the game because again when they're going against Justin Herbert,

1072
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 11: I think it was pretty obvious to me that Stych

1073
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 11: and knew they needed points and that second drive when

1074
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 11: they went up went for fourth down three times, uh,

1075
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 11: instead of a field goal. He just told it, told

1076
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 11: me that he knew that they rant score. Now, whether

1077
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 11: that was respect for Justin Herbert or concern over his defense,

1078
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 11: probably a little bit of both, probably a lot of

1079
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 11: Herbert and some on the defense. So and again, how

1080
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 11: much does he trust Michael bade Leete?

1081
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1082
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 11: I really don't. But at some point Badly is gonna

1083
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 11: have to make some field goals that you know, the forty.

1084
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Five yards that matter.

1085
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,479
Speaker 11: So but right now, gosh, again, everything's and knock on wood.

1086
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 11: They stayed relatively healthy on offense with the exception of

1087
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 11: downs with the concussion. But and again it's fun to watch.

1088
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 11: And again they're just not doing anything. Like Jones said, crazy,

1089
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 11: this should sustain thisself because again, Taylor, we're waiting for Taylor.

1090
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 11: I'm waiting for Taylor, who's having a great season, to

1091
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 11: have one of those Taylor games where he's two hundred yards.

1092
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 2: So he's just been fun to watch so far.

1093
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Is this the best offensive line in the NFL?

1094
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Probably?

1095
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 11: Probably? And you've got two second year players on it

1096
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 11: with Bordolini and Gonzalvez and and Quintin. Well, he's he's

1097
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 11: back to where he's just a highlight reel when he's

1098
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 11: pulling and spiking guys.

1099
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: And look I was and I wasn't alone in this.

1100
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 1: I was probably wrong or I was wrong in saying

1101
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: that while it's great to have a dominant left guard,

1102
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: that is not a position that is a game wrecking

1103
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: changer for you. And yet they have managed to turn

1104
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: that into that.

1105
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, this is it's funny and it's not meant as

1106
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 11: disrespect Rick v.

1107
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 2: Jerry.

1108
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 11: We were on that boat from the start, using the

1109
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 11: six overall pick on our guard. And let's again, I

1110
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 11: would much rather have a premium position, a pass rusher,

1111
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 11: a left tackle with that pick. And then when you're

1112
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 11: right on the pick, you got to pay him, you

1113
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 11: know whatever. It was twenty million a year and it's

1114
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 11: not meant as this respect to Quentin at all. But

1115
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 11: I allowed Howard Mudd to influence my thinking back in

1116
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 11: the day with the Colson and his point was get

1117
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 11: you two tackles and a center and plug and play guards.

1118
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 11: And again that I realize that's disrespect for all guards everywhere.

1119
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 11: But Quintin, I tell you it's it's and he's more

1120
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 11: than just a great player if the locker room is

1121
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 11: influenced on everybody else, and that's one of the He's

1122
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 11: one of those guys and positions where it's really hard

1123
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 11: to quantify. Yeah, you can throw up the great blocks

1124
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 11: and all that, but you know, it's hard to quantify

1125
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 11: his influence on the team like you would a quarterback

1126
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 11: or a pass rusher or a great corner. But I

1127
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 11: still would would rather have somebody another position with the

1128
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 11: number six pick. But boy, it's hard to argue with

1129
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 11: what Quinton has brought to these guys.

1130
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Mike Chapels my guest CBS four, WXA and Fox fifty nine.

1131
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: He is on the Java House Peel and Port guest line.

1132
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Chap in conclusion here and look, I realized this is

1133
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: cart way before the horse, or in this case, the Colt. Okay,

1134
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: but we're gonna do it anyway. If you were to envision,

1135
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: it's not hard right now to start thinking about this

1136
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: if you go outside in that crispit air. So I

1137
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: want you to envision like that early to mid January game.

1138
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: It's I you know, for that matter, the Colts may

1139
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: be at home in the situation I'm about to present,

1140
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: but it's late in the game. It's a later in

1141
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the round playoff game and you're taking on Mahomes or

1142
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And it's been one of those offensive shootout games.

1143
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Rigoberto Sanchez has been, you know, hanging out on the sidelines,

1144
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the field a lot. It's one of

1145
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: those games like we saw between you know, the Chiefs

1146
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: and Colts of yesteryear, offensive shootout and it comes down

1147
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: to it and the opposition has the ball, got to

1148
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: go eighty yards two and a half minutes left and

1149
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: it's a five point game. Do you believe right now,

1150
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: the way that they're equipped that the Colts in this

1151
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: situation have the capability of shutting down a high powered

1152
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: offense like that when it truly matters most.

1153
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean no.

1154
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 11: And again, whenever we talk about that, it's like we're

1155
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 11: dumping on a six to one team. No, we're just

1156
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 11: trying to say what's obvious. And now for the other around,

1157
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,479
Speaker 11: and they needed to drive eighty yards and you're down five,

1158
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 11: I'd like their chances, but depending on the defense.

1159
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 2: No.

1160
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 11: No, But that's why when we opened up by saying

1161
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 11: they need to make a move.

1162
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 2: Now you give me.

1163
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 11: Mooney wardback and another corner and maybe a pass rusher.

1164
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 11: Then we're talking something different as they're made up right now,

1165
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 11: how do you trust the secondary to hold up against

1166
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 11: one of those guys? And by the way, if this

1167
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 11: plays out it you know, if the playoffs started today, well,

1168
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 11: they'd be home the second round, right, you know, second

1169
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 11: probably second round with where they are, and it would

1170
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 11: be against not Mahomes or or Allan but probably I

1171
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 11: don't know, Denver, I don't know, or who'd be there

1172
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 11: the world. The wild card would be.

1173
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 2: Houston.

1174
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 11: Maybe I don't know. I'd have to look at it deeper.

1175
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 11: But no, do I trust what I trust the defense

1176
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 11: in the way of structured now, No, not, not not

1177
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 11: at all. And if that upsets some people will then

1178
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 11: go out and get a cornerback.

1179
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: Well the again, And so let me ask you this,

1180
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: based on precedent of what we have known from the past,

1181
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: can you win games by because this is where I

1182
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to harp on the negative here,

1183
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: but I go back to where the Colts have had

1184
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: and we've seen it in this town a lot, where

1185
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: they've had great offenses. It's hard to long term win

1186
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: based on your offense, right, like you have to get

1187
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: some counter to that.

1188
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, look at those Manning years where they remember

1189
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 11: the back to back games where they didn't punt, Yeah

1190
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 11: against Kansas City and dim.

1191
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: And then your offense goes flat.

1192
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 11: Right now, it was outside and all that stuff, and

1193
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 11: they and they let the Patriots mug them and all that. Yeah,

1194
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 11: I understand that, but no, your point, at some point,

1195
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 11: That's why I said, at some point, you can't keep

1196
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 11: asking for your offense. Let's score thirty five points at

1197
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 11: some point. At some point, you're gonna have to win

1198
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 11: a game that means something twenty seventeen or seventeen thirteen.

1199
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 11: And that's where at some point the defense is going

1200
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 11: to have to stand up and make a stop. I

1201
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 11: realized they did against Brissette two weeks ago. I would

1202
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 11: to argue that that Crystal Minds held McBride the end zone,

1203
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 11: but they didn't call it so so they didn't so

1204
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 11: so it wasn't a penalty. But but I just yeah,

1205
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 11: at some point the defense has to step up in

1206
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 11: the way it's structured. Now, I think it's hard. And

1207
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 11: that's with with the forst Buckner playing All World again

1208
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 11: in Grover Stewart making a big boy interception, which was

1209
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 11: just it was like watching a bear grab a salmon

1210
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 11: and then going to the It was great, great stuff,

1211
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 11: great stuff. But now you got to have cornerback play

1212
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 11: and and right now they're playing gosh, it's always I'm

1213
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 11: always jumping on guys. They're playing corners now that in

1214
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 11: a in a in an ideal situation, in their ideal situation,

1215
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 11: wouldn't be playing. That's just a fact. You play who

1216
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 11: you play, you play who you got, but they need help.

1217
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 11: They and I wouldn't be opposed to a pass rusher

1218
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 11: as well.

1219
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Chap appreciate the time as always. We'll talk to you

1230
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: we come back. I have a question for Indiana fans,

1231
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: a question for Indiana fans, and it's met with the

1232

Speaker 1: utmost positivity and the latest on a pro athlete being

Speaker 1: our friends at WWC have this as well. But I

1235
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: just saw this from WTA, which by the way, I'll

1236
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: be on today at four o'clock. Indiana Pacers rookie Camp

Speaker 1: at first and led them on a brief chase that

1243
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: ended near the Fletcher Avenue exit near Fountain Square in Indianapolis.

1244
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: He is currently in the Marion County Jail on preliminary

Speaker 1: with a statement quote, we are aware of the situation

1247
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 1: involving cam Jones. We are in the process of gathering

1248
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: additional information and will not have any additional comment on

1249
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,759
Speaker 1: the matter at this time. End quote. Note your Dame

1250
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: with the big win over USC over the weekend. I'm

1251
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: going to ask Tom Noy a question that of course

1252
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: he joins us from South Bend. Tom, I'm going to

1253
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: ask you a question. We always have you on to

1254
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: talk Notre Dame football that has nothing to do with

1255
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame but does have to do with sports in

1256
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: Indiana in order to generate conversation on this program. Is

1257
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: that fair?

1258
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 11: Ah, it's your show.

1259
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want, Okay, So based on that,

1260
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: do you prefer the Beatles or the Who? No, I'm

1261
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: just kidding. Okay, this is still within your wheelhouse because

1262
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: obviously you're a sports columnist within the state of Indiana,

1263
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: and but I'm curious of this. Do you think that

1264
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 1: there is any this story with Indiana who you saw

1265
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: obviously taking on Notre Dame. We talked to you plenty

1266
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: about it leading up to the in the playoffs, Indiana

1267
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 1: football and Kurt Signetti and all that is going into this,

1268
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: the new contract, the number two ranking, the potential Heisman winner,

1269
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: all of it. Do you think that there is any

1270
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:52,759
Speaker 1: way that that then tempers the annual enthusiasm that Indiana

1271
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: fans have towards their basketball program, and in fact, does

1272
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: the mediocrity of Indiana basketball over the last twenty years

1273
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: finally begin to I guess down the enthusiasm that the

1274
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: fan base has for that particular program. Is there a shift?

1275
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 9: I think it would dampen it if Mike Woodson was

1276
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 9: still the coach. The fact that there's a new head coach,

1277
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 9: there's a new direction.

1278
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a.

1279
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 9: Lot of carryover. Maybe a lot of IU basketball fans

1280
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 9: look at Darren Debrize and say he's going to do

1281
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 9: for IU basketball what Kirk Sinnetti has done for IU football,

1282
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 9: and everything's going to be back on that campus. So

1283
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 9: I think that if this was Mike Woodson again, everybody

1284
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 9: be like, eh, basketball starting, But who cares. We have

1285
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 9: the number two ranked team football football team in the country.

1286
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 9: We're going back to the college football Playoff. We might

1287
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 9: beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game football

1288
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,719
Speaker 9: football football. But the fact that there's a new coach

1289
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 9: in the new direction, I think I think there's there's

1290
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 9: enough going around down there.

1291
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: That does it put sure on Derees No, not at all,

1292
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Not at all.

1293
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 9: I mean there's going to be pressure regardless because the

1294
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 9: job that he has and where he coaches. But like

1295
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 9: this is it's a new world in college basketball where

1296
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 9: it's so hard for a new coach to parachute in

1297
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 9: and build a roster that's going to be a competitive

1298
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 9: or be NCAA tournament worthy in year one.

1299
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Okay? How about this one? And then

1300
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: we're going to get to Notre Dame because it does

1301
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: someone involved what I'm about to talk about. I really

1302
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: believe this, Tom. I'm going to give you a theory.

1303
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I do this sometimes on this show. I'm going to

1304
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: give you a theory, and then Tom Noise, I want

1305
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: you to grade it A to F A being like spectacular,

1306
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: F being dumbest thing you've ever heard. Okay, Indiana is

1307
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: going to lose the Big Ten championship game to Ohio

1308
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: State and then turn around and defeat Ohio State in

1309
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: the National championship game. I truly believe this. I truly

1310
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: believe this.

1311
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 8: Your thoughts, serie, I will give that a see right

1312
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 8: now because we don't know it's all about, like everybody

1313
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 8: talks about come NCAA Basketball, NCAA.

1314
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 9: Tournament time, March madness. This team's going to the Final four,

1315
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 9: this team's going to the Sweet sixteen. It's all built

1316
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 9: on matchups. If Indiana can do whatever it needs to

1317
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 9: do to get a maybe a first round by or whatever,

1318
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 9: and then you see what their matchup is, and if

1319
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 9: they have a matchup like Penn State did last year

1320
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 9: in what they had to play Arizona State and SMU, Right, yeah,

1321
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 9: I believe you.

1322
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: No, and Boise State like they that's right, Yeah, because

1323
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: Arizona State played Texas I.

1324
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 9: Think, right, yeah, So it was Boise State and SMU.

1325
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 9: Penn State had a what was gifted a spot in

1326
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,799
Speaker 9: the in the NCAA the College Football Playoffs semi finals.

1327
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 9: So unless we until we see the matchups, can't say,

1328
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 9: but heck, why not. I mean, this is it's it's

1329
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 9: the year of football.

1330
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Okay. Speaking of Penn State, Tom Noy, our guest South

1331
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Ben Tribune, is Marcus Freeman a candidate for that job?

1332
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:06,560
Speaker 2: No?

1333
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 9: No, he's not a candidate for Penn State. He's not

1334
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 9: a candidate for Florida. He's not a candidate for any

1335
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 9: other job that's going to open up because I'm telling

1336
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 9: you right now and nobody understands this. Marcus Freeman is

1337
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 9: leaving the University of Notre Dame for exactly two jobs.

1338
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Can I guess? Can I guess you can? Ohio State, Yes, Alabama,

1339
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: no retirement.

1340
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 9: Two jobs, one in college and a team to be

1341
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 9: named later in the NFL.

1342
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 2: That's it.

1343
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 9: He's going to Ohio State. If Ryan Day decides he's

1344
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 9: had enough, Marcus Freeman obvious choice. And then also maybe

1345
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 9: I've done enough in college. I want to give this

1346
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 9: NFL thing a shot. Those are the only jobs that

1347
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 9: Marcus Freeman will ever leave Notre Dame for.

1348
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Is Marcus Freeman coaching a college football Playoff team this year?

1349
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,640
Speaker 9: Yes, don't look now, but Notre Dame, as we sit

1350
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 9: here on October twentieth, very well could be a breed

1351
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 9: going back to the College Football Playoff and be hosting

1352
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 9: a first round game.

1353
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: Okay, And is that because Notre Dame after their first

1354
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: two disappointing losses that Notre Dame made changes in tweaks

1355
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,719
Speaker 1: and they have revised things and right to the ship,

1356
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 1: or they just kept doing what they were doing and

1357
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: the schedule and I mean that is no disrespect to them.

1358
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: I think they're very, very good, but they lost to

1359
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: two really good teams. Did they stay that did they

1360
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: have to be composed or did they have to make changes.

1361
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 9: I'll just say yes, a little bit of both, Like

1362
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 9: they had to make some changes defensively, but they also

1363
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 9: had to stay the course because the first two weeks

1364
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 9: it was you've got to fire Chris Ash. Chris Ash

1365
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 9: is an idiot. He doesn't know how to coach defense.

1366
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 9: This defense looks lost. They had the best defensive coachsistant

1367
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 9: coach last year in the country in Al Golden You

1368
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 9: got to get rid of Chriss Ash. Marcus Freeman said, no,

1369
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 9: we're not doing that. We're going to scale back on

1370
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 9: what we're doing, but we're still gonna We're gonna stick

1371
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 9: with the process. We're gonna stay We're going to stay

1372
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:17,799
Speaker 9: the course. And look Arkansas, Boise State, NC State, USC,

1373
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 9: all four of those teams had top ten offensive units

1374
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 9: when Notre Dame played him, and all four of them

1375
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 9: finished with fewer points against Notre Dame than what they

1376
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 9: came into that game. Averaging that defense is the main

1377
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 9: reason they're five and two and headed back to the

1378
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 9: the College football.

1379
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: Playoffs, How would you assess the quarterback play?

1380
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 9: Good but a little bit shaky the last couple of

1381
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 9: weeks with CJ. Carr, Like not shaky enough to where

1382
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 9: you're like, you know what, maybe we should get Kenny

1383
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 9: Minshey ready the backup shakey as in, he was so

1384
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 9: good so early that you kind of expected that this

1385
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 9: is gonna he was gonna have a dip. Like the

1386
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 9: way he's the way he's running around, the way he

1387
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 9: ran on against USC. I can't stand that because he

1388
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 9: did the same thing against Miami. Yeah that happened, that

1389
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 9: ended in a touchdown. This would this ended in a

1390
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 9: bad pick, like just throw the ball away, get three points,

1391
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 9: live to fight another down instead of being like I'm

1392
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,719
Speaker 9: just gonna I'm just gonna make something happen.

1393
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 2: So CJ.

1394
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 9: Carr has been really good, and part of the part

1395
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 9: of the problem is CJ. Carr set the bar so

1396
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 9: high so early in the season that he's got to

1397
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 9: play really well to meet that standard. Every single week.

1398
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Tom Noy is our guest South Ben and Tribune, where

1399
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: you can read his work. He's on the Joba House

1400
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: Peel and Poor Guest line talking about Notre Dame and

1401
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Indiana for that matter. Tom one of the things to

1402
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: me in college football this year that is interesting. I mean,

1403
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State is outstanding, right and I think

1404
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: I really feel like Ryan Day hasn't even taken the

1405
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: governor off the engine yet. I mean, you know what

1406
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean. They I just I think the world of

1407
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State, even though I don't like him, But it

1408
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: seems to be a wide open year this year, I

1409
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: mean outside of and that's why I'm really optimistic for Indiana,

1410
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: partially because Indiana also, I think is really good. But

1411
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: who's a dominant team in college football? We haven't mentioned Alabama?

1412
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean because of what happened that first week

1413
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 9: where it was like, what do you you know, Taylin Debora,

1414
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 9: He's gonna get fired, he loses, that's Florida State. They

1415
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 9: just quietly, just like Notre Dame has done, has done,

1416
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 9: They step back into the shadows, keep working, keep winning,

1417
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 9: keep getting better. Talk about Ohio State, talk about Indiana,

1418
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 9: talk about the the grease fire at Penn State. We're

1419
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 9: just going to be Alabama right here, and we're going

1420
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 9: to beat Tennessee and then we're gonna get ready and

1421
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 9: we're going to finish out the SEC schedule. I think

1422
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 9: Alabama is a lot better than what teams than a

1423
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 9: lot of people give him credit for because of what

1424
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 9: happened the way they started the year.

1425
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: You know, if you, I mean, I don't know how

1426
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: old I would have to be to truly grasp that

1427
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,120
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt and Indiana are ranked in the top ten in

1428
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: What the Hell's going on?

1429
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 2: Tom?

1430
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

1431
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Right?

1432
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: It's just honestly like, I feel like Bob Gregor is

1433
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: going to come out and tell me that actually what

1434
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: we're watching is the brain game, right.

1435
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 9: Let's throw Georgia Tech in there too.

1436
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Georgia Tech. Listen, I watched Georgia Tech eviscerate my

1437
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: Clemson Tigers and Clemson that's a whole different talk show, right.

1438
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the heck's going on there?

1439
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: But again I think, Tom, and you tell me if

1440
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: if I'm making too much of this Indiana in that story, Yes,

1441
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti was a tremendous hire by Scott Dolson and

1442
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 1: and yes they they have done a remarkable job. And

1443
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: I think one of the things though for Indiana that

1444
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: when the thirty for thirty comes out that needs to

1445
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: be discussed is Indiana was at the forefront in terms

1446
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 1: of nil collectives and it was the perfect storm in

1447
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: college football in the last three to five years. The

1448
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: perfect storm was developing for someone to jump in and

1449
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 1: take over the wheel in the left lane, and that's

1450
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: someone in the Big Ten. Was Indiana? Am I wrong?

1451
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:14,479
Speaker 8: No?

1452
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 9: And have others? And that would allow other schools to

1453
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 9: be like, you know what, we can make that sort

1454
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 9: of commitment and get that serious about football. Which is

1455
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 9: why Kurt Netty does not have to go to Penn State.

1456
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 9: He can do everything he wants to do and accomplish

1457
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 9: everything that people want him to accomplish at a place

1458
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 9: like Indiana. And five years ago we would never have

1459
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 9: said that, nor would we would have dreamed it. But

1460
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,440
Speaker 9: this is college football now. Where you can win in Indiana,

1461
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 9: you can win at Vanderbilt, you can win at Georgia Tech.

1462
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 9: You could go to Penn State and have everything collapse.

1463
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 9: It's not just a core four or five, six, seven

1464
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 9: different programs. Everybody has a chance in this new revenue

1465
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 9: sharing and paying players era that we are in in

1466
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 9: com football today.

1467
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: And Tom doesn't Penn State football kind of feel like

1468
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: what Indiana basketball went through in a coaching search a

1469
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: year in a year out of like a lot of

1470
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 1: big time coaches. I think, look at it and go,

1471
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: why would I go there?

1472
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 9: Like? I wouldn't want that mess? Would you? Like James Franklin. Yeah,

1473
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 9: I know his record was against top twenty five teams

1474
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 9: and big, big games and all those other failures. But

1475
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,719
Speaker 9: the guy did win ten eleven games, ten eleven games,

1476
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 9: ten eleven games, and it still wasn't good enough. That's

1477
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 9: a it's a pretty hard sell for the next guy.

1478
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 9: I know it's Penn State and everything, but you got

1479
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 9: to you got to the freaking national semi final game

1480
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 9: a year ago, and all of a sudden, now you're

1481
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 9: on the unemployment line.

1482
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 2: Now.

1483
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: I trademarked the phrase why not Indiana, which I'm very

1484
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,760
Speaker 1: proud of, by the way, and I'm thinking now about

1485
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, there's no biggest, no

1486
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: bigger pain arduous, you know, long drawn out process in

1487
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: the keyster like getting a trademark. It's it's a nightmare.

1488
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: But I did do it. I would trademark query theory

1489
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: except for that it's technically query. And my dad was

1490
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 1: very clear about the fact that I need to make

1491
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: sure that people know that it's query or nothing. But

1492
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I kind of like that, do you want the trademark

1493
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 1: first DIBs on that or should I go ahead and

1494
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: roll with that. It's yours?

1495
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 9: Like I said, it's your show him on Man, all right.

1496
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: Well, always appreciate it's always accentuated by your visits though

1497

1500
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: guest line. All right, we come back. It is as

1501
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: I talked about a it really is a spectacular time

1502
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 1: in terms of what the culture doing, what Indiana is doing.

1503
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: The pacers are getting set to get borring the Cam

1504
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: Jones News today, you know underway here on Thursday, and

1505
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: Eddie Garrison is back in the mix, and we're going

1506
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: to find out whether or not he is embarrassed, whether

1507
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:52,720
Speaker 1: he's on the hot seat, or whether he got a

1508
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit of sun on his cheeks. We'll get into

1509
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 1: that next. So Eddie Garrison is back in the mix.

1510
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: You should have welcome back, Cotter. I should have.

1511
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:06,639
Speaker 7: I feel like I would have had to play that though,

1512
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 7: like one of the first songs, because we're halfway through

1513
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 7: the over halfway through the show.

1514
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: Now, well, we have a late arriving audience. We have

1515
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: an audience that arrives. Yeah, I could do a roll

1516
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: call if I asked, right now, send me a text

1517
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this program. Do you think between

1518
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,719
Speaker 1: now and the top of the hour, we would eclipse

1519
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: forty five people? Ooh, directly to your phone or through

1520
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: the text line. We'll go to mine so I can

1521
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: correspond with people later perhaps or the text line. Obviously.

1522
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: The problem with the text line, well for either one

1523
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: of them. At three one seven, two nine ten seventy

1524
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: is the text line for the station, But then I

1525
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: don't see that once we're done. Whereas my phone like

1526
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: it literally just a little hand emoji, like I'm taking

1527
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 1: attendance three one seven five two three ninety two eighty eight.

1528
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if we will eclipse forty five

01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 1: we saw the continuation of in this area of the country.

1658
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:41,519

Speaker 1: not La not Portland, not Salt Lake. Indianapolis, Indiana right

1660
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 1: now is the epicenter of the sports world in terms

1661
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: of elite college basketball. Number one team in the country

1662
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: preseason poll. Right here Central Indiana WNBA top player, continuing

1663
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 1: to be the straw mixing the drake of attention for

1664
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:11,839
Speaker 1: women's basketball right here, Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark, Eastern Conference

1665
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Pacers getting underway Thursday night, beginning their season, taken on

1666
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, a redo of the NBA Finals where we

1667
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 1: all know the disappointment there. But the reigning champions in

1668
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, Indiana Pacers, the best team in the

1669
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: National Football League right now, the Indianapolis Colts and the

1670
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,240

1672
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 1: be the best team in college football. And I truly

1673
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 1: believe going to get to the Big Ten title game,

1674
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: drop one to Ohio State, come back and beat Ohio

1675
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: State in the national title game. That's my prediction right

1676
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: now on this the twentieth of October. But as for

1677
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Indianapolis Colts yesterday, as I mentioned, there

1678
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:04,439
Speaker 1: was a play in that game. He just heard Matt

1679
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: Taylor mention it where Justin Herbert throws to the end zone.

1680
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: And Nick Cross, I'm not gonna say much maligned Nick Cross,

1681
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 1: but Nick Cross, who when he was drafted by the Colts,

1682
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:19,120
Speaker 1: there was the discussion, there was the national narrative, there

1683
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: was the analysis of him on draft day. Ah, you know,

1684
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: the Colts may be reached a little bit here. This

1685
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 1: is a guy that is raw, has athleticism, but doesn't

1686
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,679
Speaker 1: necessarily have understanding or instinct of the position just yet.

1687
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: And they've tried this before. They tried it with I think,

1688
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: I SAIDJ. TJ. Green. TJ. Green out of Clemson a

1689
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: number of years ago. Dynamic athlete, but just never grew

1690
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:53,679
Speaker 1: into the position. Juju Brentz corner, great athlete, great size,

1691
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 1: no fault of his injury, and fortunately got a chance

1692
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 1: elsewhere once it didn't work out here. But in Nick

1693
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Cross's case, they put him in there. And yes, yesterday

1694
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers picked on him a lot, But on that

1695
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: particular interception, it was perfectly symbolic of the cult season.

1696
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: Because Nick Cross, who at the beginning of his time

1697
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL we had question about. We wondered if

1698
01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 1: he could grow into it. We wondered if there was

1699
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,520
Speaker 1: enough time for him to become the player that was expected.

1700
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 1: And on that particular play, the areas and the expert

1701
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: the areas and the strength that he has as a

1702
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: player that has had him on the field was on display.

1703
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: The athleticism, the range to get there, and then as

1704
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 1: that ball is coming, he manages to make a quick turn,

1705
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:53,560
Speaker 1: just a slight turn of his body. He makes an adjustment,

1706
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, and I think even

1707
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 1: he was surprised by, oh my gosh, look what just

1708
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: fell right here into my gut. An tremendous athletic one

1709
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 1: handed play to end the drive and get an interception.

1710
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: And that's a little what the Colts have done. The

1711
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Colts going into it, we knew that they had a

1712
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 1: lot of areas of talent, but we didn't know if

1713
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 1: it would come all together. And at the beginning of

1714
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 1: the season when they arrived in Westfield. They have since

1715
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 1: then made just a slight turn, a slight adjustment, and

1716
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: they made that adjustment, notably at the quarterback position. And

1717
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: lo and behold, look what has fallen right into their lap.

1718
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:42,560
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts right now have the coach of the

1719
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: year in Shane Steichen on their sidelines. The Indianapolis Colts

1720
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:52,040
Speaker 1: right now have the offensive player of the year in

1721
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor in their backfield. The Indianapolis Colts right now

1722
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,759
Speaker 1: have the rookie of the year in Tyler Warren lining

1723
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,600
Speaker 1: up for them at tight end, and he is. He

1724
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 1: is absolutely the magnet piece that draws everything defensively away

1725
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 1: from the others. And the Indianapolis Colts right now had

1726
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:18,759
Speaker 1: the NFL comeback player of the Year on their roster

1727
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 1: in the quarterback Daniel Jones, and the Indianapolis Colts may

1728
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 1: have the most valuable player pick either between Taylor and Jones.

1729
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 1: And you're safe in backing up your argument. But what

1730
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday was an offense point number one in

1731
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:40,560
Speaker 1: favor of the Colts. We saw yesterday an offense that

1732
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,640
Speaker 1: is humming along as well as any that we have

1733
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL of late. Yeah, they may not

1734
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: be the Rams' greatest show on turf where it's just

1735
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: like explosive, constant scoring, and yes they may not be

1736
01:37:54,800 --> 01:38:01,679
Speaker 1: the Manning era, Wayne and Harrison just like Boom, slice

1737
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 1: and dice you to death. But they are unbelievably efficient.

1738
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 1: They are not making mistakes, and they are winning by

1739
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:19,200
Speaker 1: doing the little things. They literally the Indianapolis Colts as

1740
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 1: an offense, if you are a defense, it is death

1741
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: by paper cut because yes, they have the ability to

1742
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: uncork Jonathan Taylor on a big run and you know that,

1743
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 1: and they have the ability to find Tyler Warren and

1744
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 1: get him in space and then get out of the way.

1745
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: And defenses know that. And they have the ability to

1746
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 1: find Alec Pierce behind the defense or at the line.

1747
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: They have the ability with Michael Pittman as well, all

1748
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: of those things. But the thing about them to me

1749
01:38:53,840 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 1: that is the most impressive and the most effective is

1750
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,639
Speaker 1: their offense plays within itself and just keeps the ball

1751
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: away from the other team. And it's one thing to

1752
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:13,479
Speaker 1: have big strike offense and score quickly, but when you

1753
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:17,919
Speaker 1: a still have some questions defensively, b have a defense

1754
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,720
Speaker 1: that is still coming back from and not a one

1755
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent health, you are just not allowing your opposition

1756
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: to get in any rhythm whatsoever. And offensively speaking, yesterday,

1757
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: point number one is what we saw is that the

1758
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts may have the most effective offense in the

1759
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: National Football League, might not have the most fireworks, but

1760
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:43,560
Speaker 1: it's got a ton of those little sparklers going, and

1761
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,479
Speaker 1: they're still scoring a ton of points. And they're doing

1762
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,400
Speaker 1: it by controlling the football as well when they need

1763
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 1: to and scoring when they need to. Point number two

1764
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: that is good news for Indianapolis and for the Colts

1765
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,519
Speaker 1: is the fact that yesterday when you were going up

1766
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: against Justin Herbert and that Los Angeles Chargers offense, and

1767
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:11,760
Speaker 1: Herbert's a big quarterback, big arm, really good player, but

1768
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 1: his line is decimated, I mean decimated, and even with that,

1769
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 1: the Colts couldn't effectively and routinely get to him. Yeah,

1770
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner build a statue. The guy is the consummate pro,

1771
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 1: consummate leader, and great player. And DeForest Buckner, from a

1772
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 1: quarterback pressuring standpoint, saves that defense a lot because he

1773
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,680
Speaker 1: was able to get there, not routinely, but able to

1774
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 1: get there. But he's getting doubled on virtually every play,

1775
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 1: which makes it even that much more impressive. And the

1776
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 1: reason he's getting doubled is because nobody else has stepped up.

1777
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 1: Taekwon Lewis gets dinged up. Then you have Quity pay

1778
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: I think we know is I hate to say it,

1779
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:11,639
Speaker 1: just a guy. I like him, good story, been okay,

1780
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,479
Speaker 1: but nothing you know when when you consider where he

1781
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 1: was selected and what you anticipated for him, probably not

1782
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: getting everything that you want out of that, right, you know?

1783
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: Samson Ebcubam yesterday also gets hurt. I have difficulties saying

1784
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 1: that name, but he you know, he also gets stinged up.

1785
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: But Leatu Latu another player that you are expecting pass

1786
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: rush out of him, and he had moments and he

1787
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:43,200
Speaker 1: had a couple of hurries, but when the game was

1788
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 1: coming down to it was never on the line because

1789
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:47,639
Speaker 1: it was a two possession game. But when the Chargers

1790
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 1: late are trying to get a drive and maintain it

1791
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 1: and get themselves a punter's chance, a puncher's chance, Leatu

1792
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: Latu is not only not getting pressure, he he's suck

1793
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 1: and win. It has to take himself out they need

1794
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 1: Yesterday was the real benefit that the Chargers gave the

1795
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 1: Colts yesterday was by having a completely depleted offensive line.

1796
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: They proved and showed that Indianapolis needs to address its

1797
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: pass rush. And yes, they are depleted in the defensive backfield,

1798
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: but you can get away with having to hang on

1799
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit on your defensive backfield. And no fault

1800
01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 1: of Shane Stikeen or Chris Ballard or leu Aannarumo. I mean,

1801
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 1: they've just been decimated by injury in that defensive backfield

1802
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: and some of those guys are coming back. You know,

1803
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:47,680
Speaker 1: you forget that they had a promising rookie corner that

1804
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:51,719
Speaker 1: went down to the beginning of the year. You forget

1805
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:54,080
Speaker 1: that Jalen Jones eventually is going to get his way

1806
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: back and Mooney Ward now is on ir But you

1807
01:42:56,439 --> 01:43:00,560
Speaker 1: can get away with having to kind of on and

1808
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: piecemeal your defensive backfield until it's healthy if you are

1809
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: limiting the amount of time that a guy has to

1810
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 1: throw the football and they're not doing that, they're not

1811
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 1: limiting it. And yesterday a real service was provided by

1812
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers by not beating the Colts while at the

1813
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: same time exposing that if you can't get to the

1814
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 1: quarterback with that line, then you're really going to struggle

1815
01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:26,719
Speaker 1: when it comes time to try to have to corral

1816
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes or even Joe Burrow if

1817
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: he's back in a late January game. So that was

1818
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: benefit number two for Indianapolis yesterday, learning and seeing that

1819
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:42,840
Speaker 1: and getting final proof in the putting of the lack

1820
01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: of pass rush, but doing so in a game you win.

1821
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 1: And then point number three. I've been to Los Angeles.

1822
01:43:54,080 --> 01:44:01,719
Speaker 1: I love Los Angeles, the city of Angels. Absolutely perfect weather,

1823
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty three days a year, seventy two sunny,

1824
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: little breeze, no humidity whatsoever. Life's just easier when you

1825
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: wake up the sun's coming through the window at eight

1826
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 1: am and they're like, let's go. You're telling me that

1827
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 1: was me last week. It's the best, didn't it?

1828
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 9: Oh?

1829
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. And you don't even have I mean,

1830
01:44:24,280 --> 01:44:25,760
Speaker 1: and you were in Florida where you had a little

1831
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 1: heat and humidity. You don't have any of that, La,

1832
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 1: have any of that? LA just laid back and breezy, Baby,

1833
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 1: let's go.

1834
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:34,880
Speaker 7: I think we had somebody check in during listener roll

1835
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 7: call from San Diego.

1836
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 1: San Diego, three hundred and sixty four days a year. Yeah,

1837
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:45,679
Speaker 1: right now, SOFI Stadium, state of the art, huge video

1838
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,799
Speaker 1: board runs along the interstate. By the way, Uh, Shannon,

1839
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 1: I got on the video board of the Fishers Event

1840
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Center with a fuel game Saturday night. Congratulations. I would listen.

1841
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 1: Was it because you finally proposed on the jumbo tron? No,

1842
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 1: we got up there, his cam, no cold play playing?

1843
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:07,600
Speaker 1: I was I made on the radio. I'm not like

1844
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:09,680
Speaker 1: dirty Laundry. I don't make my living on the evening news,

1845
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 1: but I make my living on the radio and on

1846
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:18,719
Speaker 1: the YouTube. Chat right here and even still Nothing excites

1847
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 1: me more than being at a Fuel game and looking

1848
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:21,800
Speaker 1: up and see my video, my picture up on the

1849
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:23,799
Speaker 1: video board. Loved it. Super exciting.

1850
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 7: What kind of strings did you have to pull to

1851
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 7: make that happen?

1852
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:31,719
Speaker 1: None? I have my little Fuel hat on. They're playing

1853
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:34,759
Speaker 1: the Walalle Eyes goons. I was cheering for the fights

1854
01:45:35,840 --> 01:45:38,840
Speaker 1: and they have a little a little QR code you

1855
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: take a picture. I say, hey, let's take a picture,

1856
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 1: and we send it in and there ends up on

1857
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 1: the video board. Loved it. I took a picture of it.

1858
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:48,640
Speaker 1: You don't even do that for the Pacer games. No, no,

1859
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:51,640
Speaker 1: but I was thrilled to at the it's tradition of

1860
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:53,519
Speaker 1: the Fuel games. But nonetheless, you should do that at

1861
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 1: a Pacers game to see how many times you get

1862
01:45:55,960 --> 01:46:00,000
Speaker 1: on the JumboTron keep track. I believe at one time

1863
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 1: there was an edict that Shannon was not allowed on

1864
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: kiss camp at the Pacer Games.

1865
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 9: Just so you know.

1866
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,759
Speaker 1: But Sofi Stadium has this huge video board, beautiful stadium,

1867
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 1: state of the art, like an almost like a pseudo

1868
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 1: open air. Why not because it's seventy two and beautiful there,

1869
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 1: and it's it's la it's la la la in and

1870
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:34,040
Speaker 1: yet point number three. Yesterday, SOFI Stadium in Los Angeles, California,

1871
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: with Jim Harbaugh, former Colts coach, running the sidelines, former

1872
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: Midwestern guy, IndyCar owner, all of it, and Justin Herbert

1873
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,200
Speaker 1: and everything going into those beautiful uniforms and everything else.

1874
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 1: That stadium yesterday was Lucas Oil West. That stadium was

1875
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 1: forty percent Colts fans, tons of blue. Jonathan Taylor's running

1876
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. You could see the Colts fans everywhere,

1877
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:03,719
Speaker 1: and I'm saying to myself, this is what it's all about.

1878
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: This is what it's all about. And it's been a

1879
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 1: long time coming. I remember vividly. I've told the story before,

1880
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 1: being in Dallas, in Dallas, in the Cowboys, America's team

1881
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 1: in Irving, Texas, the old Cowboys stadium where there's a

1882
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: hole in the roof so God can watch his favorite

1883
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:27,840
Speaker 1: team in Dallas, being there and going out and looking

1884
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:32,000
Speaker 1: and I'm like, holy cow, the Dallas Cowboys home stadium

1885
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 1: and all of these people are here two hours before

1886
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 1: kick to watch the Indianapolis Colts warming up and watch

1887
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison and Edrin James and Reggie

1888
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: Wayne and Dallas Clark. It's been a long time coming,

1889
01:47:47,640 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 1: and I realized that in LA most people are probably

1890
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 1: from elsewhere, and the Chargers would even at that point

1891
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 1: be the second rate team in Los Angeles. But nonetheless

1892
01:47:57,080 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: to know that people were showing up at Sofi Stadium

1893
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:05,760
Speaker 1: and overtaking that stadium and blew everywhere, and for the

1894
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:12,919
Speaker 1: shoe because people again are proud and excited to represent

1895
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:15,839
Speaker 1: that they are a fan of the Indianapolis Colts because

1896
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: this may be certainly offensively the most total offense in

1897
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:24,559
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and it's coached by a guy

1898
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: that is an offensive guru that had to kind of

1899
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: learn on the job and grow into it a little bit.

1900
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:35,720
Speaker 1: But like Nick Cross, Shane Steichen is somebody that you

1901
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:38,560
Speaker 1: felt like when he got the job, there were a

1902
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of things there that were raw, but if eventually

1903
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 1: it grew into it, you could have yourselves a really

1904
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: big piece. And like that play with Nick Cross, the

1905
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Colts made some adjustment and then all of a sudden

1906
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 1: it's right there in their lap. And it was a

1907
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 1: glorious day for people that are fans of that franchise

1908
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 1: and fans of sports in Central Indiana because Eddie. The

1909
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 1: reality is this, Like I mentioned, you are hard pressed

1910
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 1: to think of any sport that we cover and talk

1911
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 1: about on this program where Indianapolis is not the host

1912
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 1: of the home right now to the envy of the

1913
01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 1: rest of the country. Yep. If you're a fan of

1914
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders and you're curious about what's going to

1915
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 1: happen with the health of your promising young quarterback and

1916
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:27,800
Speaker 1: the year that you thought you were going to be

1917
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: really good, you're looking going, man, I wish I was

1918
01:49:31,120 --> 01:49:33,120
Speaker 1: a Colts fan. If you're a fan of the Raiders,

1919
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 1: who I thought were going to be a potential surprise

1920
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 1: team this year with Pete Carroll on the sidelines, but

1921
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 1: they're tight end has been out and can't get on

1922
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:44,760
Speaker 1: the field, and Gino Smith has regressed. And if you're

1923
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,920
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan, you're saying to yourselves, I wish I

1924
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 1: was a fan of the Colts. And if you are,

1925
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:52,839
Speaker 1: for that matter, even a fan of the Buffalo Bills,

1926
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: you're still very optimistic, but you're saying, I don't know

1927
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 1: that I want to go to Indianapolis and take on

1928
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 1: that offense, because what they're doing is they are playing

1929
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:11,560
Speaker 1: to the strength of Daniel Jones, and the strength of

1930
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is playing away from the weakness of the Colts,

1931
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 1: and that weakness of the Colts offensively is not even

1932
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: necessarily anything schematically that they can't do. But it's the

1933
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 1: fact that Daniel Jones, on each play at times, as

1934
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, isn't necessarily always giving them the good play,

1935
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 1: but he is absolutely making certain that they avoid the

1936
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 1: bad play, and they are minimalizing their mistakes sometimes by

1937
01:50:41,040 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: being minimalists. We're not having to go for the home

1938
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 1: run here, We're not having to go for the big play.

1939
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 1: We'll do it next play. This one, let's just chunk

1940
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 1: out two yards. Let's get four yards, and if Taylor

1941
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:57,720
Speaker 1: springs himself loose, great, We'll throw to Tyler Warren for

1942
01:50:57,880 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 1: seven yards. And if he has one of those where

1943
01:50:59,840 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 1: he then rumbles for twenty five down the sideite great,

1944
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 1: and we can spring Jonathan Taylor loose for a first

1945
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: down because we've got Quentin Nelson who's polling, or Bordolini

1946
01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 1: who is clearing out a path, or Michael Pittman Junior

1947
01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 1: who is surrendering himself and getting an extra block ten

1948
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:28,719
Speaker 1: yards downfield. Everything about this particular team with the Colts

1949
01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:32,559
Speaker 1: this year so far in twenty twenty five, represents everything

1950
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 1: that you want out of a team, out of a community,

1951
01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. I think right now, this Colts

1952
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: team perfectly summarizes the city we live in. It perfectly

1953
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 1: summarizes all of it because we ain't worried about glitz

1954
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 1: and glamber. We don't need all the attention and the

1955
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 1: bright lights in the big city. We just go out

1956
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: and do our thing. And that's what they're doing. And

1957
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:02,560
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. It's awesome, and you're coming off of the

1958
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 1: fact that you're looking at it and you're like, hey,

1959
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 1: the good news is if you're a Colts fan, for

1960
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 1: like sixty percent of you, you're still riding the high

1961
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 1: from Saturday of watching the football team that you root

1962
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 1: for in Indiana just club and whoever they play, literally

1963
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: just like wearing teams down that are still waiting for

1964
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 1: them to make a mistake. And before you know it,

1965
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, yeah, you thought we weren't going to

1966
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:32,360
Speaker 1: make the playoffs again, Ranke number two, where's the los's

1967
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: going to come from? Good luck, let's go. And yes,

1968
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 1: there are those of you who look at Indiana and

1969
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,080
Speaker 1: Kurt Signetti and you're like, oh, man, I'm tired of

1970
01:52:42,080 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 1: hearing about IU. Why because I'm a Purdue fan. Guess

1971
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 1: what not gonna be long before you're able to watch

1972
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: Brayden Smith become the all time assist leader in college

1973
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 1: basketball to Fletcher Lawyer knocked down another three and prove

1974
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 1: to the rest of the country while your basketball program

1975
01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: is number one. And then you think to yourself, I'm

1976
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 1: a little bit worried though, because Indiana actually the way

1977
01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:04,720
Speaker 1: that they're able to hit threes and the way that

1978
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 1: they're able to offensively play well, maybe Darren Devrees has

1979
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: a pretty good program down on Bloomington. Maybe both of

1980
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:17,759
Speaker 1: you are saying to yourselves, well, gosh, I was gonna

1981
01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:20,880
Speaker 1: go actually to Lafayette or two Bloomington, but actually, instead

1982
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: of going to watch the games there, I'm just gonna

1983
01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 1: stop Indianapolis and go see Butler because I like what

1984
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:28,479
Speaker 1: Dad mad has been able to put together. And maybe

1985
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 1: collectively all together, we as sports fans look at Tara

1986
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,479
Speaker 1: hot and we say to Matthew Graves, the head basketball

1987
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 1: coach of Indiana State, we want to wish you the

1988
01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:39,160
Speaker 1: best of luck. We want to wish you the best.

1989
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 1: We want to wish you well because Matthew Graves this

1990
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:46,800
Speaker 1: morning had tightness in his chest and a lot of

1991
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:49,240
Speaker 1: people said this is sad news for Indiana State. I say,

1992
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 1: it's great news for Indiana State because Matthew Graves, who

1993
01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:54,840
Speaker 1: is Who's your throw and through his family hoo's You're

1994
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 1: through and through. And Matthew Graves had the tightness in

1995
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:03,120
Speaker 1: his chest, went to Union Hospita Hate. They immediately determined

1996
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 1: that he needed to have triple bypass surgery, which, as

1997
01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:12,320
Speaker 1: I understand it happened this morning, and so Mark Slessinger

1998
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 1: will take over as the interim coach at Indiana State.

1999
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:17,640
Speaker 1: But Matthew Graves expected to be able to recover, and

2000
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they were able to determine that early

2001
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 1: is a triumph in its own right. And for a

2002
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:25,679
Speaker 1: guy that was in his second year at Indiana State

2003
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,040
Speaker 1: as the head of the basketball program there already starting

2004
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: off the year with the biggest win of all, and

2005
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: that was being able to get that treated, listening to

2006
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 1: his body, knowing the symptoms. And we hope for the

2007
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: best in terms of a recovery for Matthew and for

2008
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 1: Indiana State basketball. But it is a wonderful time to

2009
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 1: be a sports fan in Central Indiana. It's the best.

2010
01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 1: It's awesome.

2011
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 2: And with that.

2012
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Comes a question that I asked earlier that I want

2013
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 1: to revisit as well, talking about football and basketball and

2014
01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:03,480
Speaker 1: fan within this state. We'll get to that, and I'm

2015
01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 1: going to read off some of your brilliant answers on

2016
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,760
Speaker 1: seven words to describe the Colts. We'll do it all next.

2017
01:55:11,440 --> 01:55:13,480
Speaker 1: Now here's the question, Eddie, I will allow you to

2018
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: make this decision. Okay, okay. With each game that the

2019
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 1: Colts play, I've been asking after as soon as the

2020
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:28,880
Speaker 1: game's over, summarize for me your thoughts on the Colts

2021
01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five season. And after three games, I said,

2022
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 1: summarizing three words four games? I said four. Now we're

2023
01:55:36,160 --> 01:55:39,720
Speaker 1: at seven, I said, summarizing seven words are fewer? Do

2024
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 1: I maintain that all the way through and then get

2025
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 1: people up to a seventeen win word window here for

2026
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 1: theftat at this point, okay, some of the responses from yesterday, Yeah,

2027
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:58,920
Speaker 1: sweet baby Danny Dimes just gets blank done that from Sean,

2028
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:01,160
Speaker 1: I revive a little bit what he had to say

2029
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:07,360
Speaker 1: there for radio purposes, Really, which word baby and things interesting,

2030
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:09,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what he would say in those places.

2031
01:56:09,720 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 1: This from Nate. I'm about tonay so loud. That was

2032
01:56:17,240 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 1: one of my favorite ones. That's a good one, Nay.

2033
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 1: Right Jackson, something magical is happening in Indiana sports, Jeff,

2034
01:56:31,680 --> 01:56:34,720
Speaker 1: are you near anything Wooden Eddie, Yes, knock on it.

2035
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 2: If you could, please.

2036
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 1: Please avoid pacers and fever injury curse there, right, Shane,

2037
01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 1: this team is simply really fun to watch. Okay, I

2038
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 1: agree with this one. Defense needs bolstered. Otherwise tides change.

2039
01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 7: I thought you were gonna say that you agree with that.

2040
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 7: Think you know who our quarterback isn't Trevor Lawrence.

2041
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 1: I did see that, telling you man, that's I you

2042
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 1: know my thoughts on that. Yep, the leaders appear happy

2043
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:21,760
Speaker 1: Nelson Buckner j T. Look, there are those that have

2044
01:57:21,960 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: commented that, yes, in fact, we were wrong. I was wrong.

2045
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 1: I was wrong for a long time when I said

2046
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 1: they had their best players in the wrong positions. That

2047
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:41,040
Speaker 1: a guard like a linebacker and a running back doesn't

2048
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:42,240
Speaker 1: win view in twenty twenty five.

2049
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 7: By the way, we haven't talked about this play, Jake.

2050
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 7: I know you highlighted Nick Cross, but could you say

2051
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,680
Speaker 7: that the play of the game was the sire Franklin

2052
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:56,920
Speaker 7: breakup on that third and long on that pass from

2053
01:57:57,280 --> 01:58:00,760
Speaker 7: Justin Herbert to Lad McConkie, because that was just over

2054
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 7: three and a half left. If that's completely it's a

2055
01:58:03,280 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 7: one score.

2056
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 1: I think Latsu got to his ankle there as well, right,

2057
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 1: and kind of irritated him a little bit, I think.

2058
01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 1: But yes, and look, the Grover Stewart play was a

2059
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 1: great play. I mean, I think that we people love

2060
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:19,640
Speaker 1: Grover Stewart because he's a you know, he's a big,

2061
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 1: likable guy, right. But the athleticism that is necessary to

2062
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 1: not just have the hand eye coordination to bat the

2063
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: ball in the air, but then complete that play secure

2064
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,200
Speaker 1: the ball really impressive. I mean, there were a lot

2065
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 1: of really good plays in that game of individual feet

2066
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:40,400
Speaker 1: of athleticism that all comes together right for what they did. Now,

2067
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:47,839
Speaker 1: Michael makes this point benefited from a soft schedule defense horrible.

2068
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd say horrible. But here's what

2069
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 1: is the interesting thing to me about saying, and I

2070
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: don't disagree with it, Well, they haven't played anybody. Heah,

2071
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 1: they haven't played anybody. Two guys right now, in the

2072
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 1: Inn train in New York City, right, you know share

2073
01:59:08,680 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Jones was watching. The thing is, I haven't played anybody.

2074
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: Who they played. They haven't payed anybody. I ain't played nobody.

2075
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they haven't played nobody. Okay, fine, But

2076
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 1: at what point is there is it nobody because of

2077
01:59:23,880 --> 01:59:28,800
Speaker 1: who the Colts are. I mean at the beginning of

2078
01:59:28,840 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 1: the year, you looked at it and you said, they

2079
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:33,840
Speaker 1: got to play Denver, that's just somebody. They gotta play

2080
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:36,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, that's a somebody. They gotta play the Chargers,

2081
01:59:36,080 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 1: that's a somebody. And the Rams. I realized they lost,

2082
01:59:38,080 --> 01:59:44,240
Speaker 1: probably should have won, right and moving forward and they

2083
01:59:44,280 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 1: ain't played gotta play nobody, okay, Well, looking forward at

2084
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Kansas City, a team that Patrick Mahomes, by

2085
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:57,720
Speaker 1: the way, has never beaten right in a start in.

2086
01:59:57,760 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 7: A regular season game.

2087
01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Seattle, San Francisco are those when you look at it,

2088
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:10,600
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, who's going to challenge them? Because of

2089
02:00:10,680 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 1: the way and the efficiency with which they're playing. It

2090
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:17,080
Speaker 1: is to an extent, while I understand that it feels

2091
02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:19,920
Speaker 1: like it's a soft schedule, also you have to.

2092
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,200
Speaker 7: Point this out, like We talked about Arizona after first

2093
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:23,840
Speaker 7: two weeks about being one of those teams like, hey,

2094
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 7: they've you know, they've lucked into two wins beating New

2095
02:00:26,600 --> 02:00:28,800
Speaker 7: Orleans and Carolina, but like they lose by one in

2096
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:32,720
Speaker 7: San Francisco, lose by three to Seattle, they lose to

2097
02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:36,320
Speaker 7: Tennessee in a horrific way, lose by four to the Colts,

2098
02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:38,920
Speaker 7: and then yesterday they were leading late against green Bay

2099
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:41,800
Speaker 7: on the road. Like that's a team that's been competitive

2100
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:45,480
Speaker 7: with everybody. Well, that's my point being Eddie. When you

2101
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:49,000
Speaker 7: look at it, you can say it feels like they

2102
02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:51,120
Speaker 7: have a soft schedule, but the reason it feels that

2103
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:54,360
Speaker 7: way is because they're the ones that make it seem soft.

2104
02:00:55,960 --> 02:00:59,360
Speaker 7: I mean, it's in other words, if you want to

2105
02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:04,280
Speaker 7: say they've played nobody, then my question for you is,

2106
02:01:04,520 --> 02:01:05,480
Speaker 7: so who's somebody?

2107
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Who is it?

2108
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:11,000
Speaker 1: And it's not their fault, it's the schedule, but schedule

2109
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:13,960
Speaker 1: is But even if even if that's right and an't

2110
02:01:13,960 --> 02:01:17,120
Speaker 1: played nobody, Okay, fine, then who is somebody sends it

2111
02:01:17,240 --> 02:01:20,200
Speaker 1: like college where you get to pick who you play. Buffalo,

2112
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Yeah, those are gonna be a teams the

2113
02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 1: way Kansas City has been playing lately, Jaco. It's ah,

2114
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:30,520
Speaker 1: they look back, they do they do? Does that can

2115
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:34,040
Speaker 1: get flexed by the way to prime time almost at

2116
02:01:34,120 --> 02:01:43,680
Speaker 1: one o'clock almost undoubtedly, But you know, and at played nobody, Okay,

2117
02:01:43,720 --> 02:01:46,720
Speaker 1: they played the What about So Buffalo is a team

2118
02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: that's a somebody? Right, Buffalo just lost to Atlanta and

2119
02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:52,400
Speaker 1: they lost to who the culture going to see? Right,

2120
02:01:52,440 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 1: New England? New England's at home? Your your call of

2121
02:01:57,000 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: surprise team New England. Here's the thing about Buffalo, right,

2122
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:03,560
Speaker 1: had a colt sat played no buddy Josh Allen of Buffalo,

2123
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,600
Speaker 1: those guys, are you know that's the best team in

2124
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:06,080
Speaker 1: the AFC?

2125
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:06,440
Speaker 2: Is it?

2126
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Because who's Buffalo beaten? They beat Baltimore, who's a dumpster fire,

2127
02:02:11,120 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 1: They beat the Jets, who's a bigger dumpster fire, They

2128
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:15,480
Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins, who's the biggest dumpster fire of ball,

2129
02:02:15,520 --> 02:02:19,720
Speaker 1: and they beat the Saints, literally the four worst teams

2130
02:02:19,760 --> 02:02:23,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Is who Buffalo beat? And I love

2131
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I love Buffalo, but I'm saying let's be

2132
02:02:25,760 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 1: real here, right. You know, Kansas City, and I agree,

2133
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:35,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City looks like it is starting to you know,

2134
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 1: like the demise of Kansas City might have been overrated.

2135
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: But Kansas City lost to the Chargers. The Colts just

2136
02:02:44,080 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: absolutely owned the Chargers. Kansas City lost to Jacksonville. Colts

2137
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:57,600
Speaker 1: are gonna get time to show what can happen there, right, Okay?

2138
02:02:57,720 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City beat the door off the Raiders. Great Raiders

2139
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:08,680
Speaker 1: are terrible. Colts and Detroit that's an impressive win. But

2140
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the when it comes to the Colts

2141
02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:16,280
Speaker 1: and the narrative of they haven't played anybody, that's fine,

2142
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 1: But who is somebody? That's my question? Who is somebody?

2143
02:03:22,080 --> 02:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we really know who somebody is yet,

2144
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:30,520
Speaker 1: but we're almost halfway through. I don't disagree, but we're

2145
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:32,800
Speaker 1: almost halfway through now. As I say, at the beginning

2146
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:37,200
Speaker 1: of each season, who is the team that come Halloween

2147
02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:39,960
Speaker 1: time you look at and you go, are they good?

2148
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:43,560
Speaker 1: And to your point, you predicted New England? And that

2149
02:03:43,720 --> 02:03:46,640
Speaker 1: may well be the case. I'll tell you too in

2150
02:03:46,720 --> 02:03:55,760
Speaker 1: the NFC, is Chicago decent? Don't let Mark Dyton hear that?

2151
02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:58,600
Speaker 1: Are the Bears decent? Do not let Mark Dyton.

2152
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:02,840
Speaker 7: Hear that, Jake, They've won four straight and they're humming offensively.

2153
02:04:04,040 --> 02:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Are are the Panthers respectable Bryce Young going to miss

2154
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 1: this week with an ankle injury. I gotta remember who's

2155
02:04:16,800 --> 02:04:21,800
Speaker 1: their backup, Andy Dalton. He said, really, they let him

2156
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: out of the Jerryatric unit. The red Rifle. The red Rifle.

2157
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like literally, he's old enough that he actually

2158
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 1: is the red rifle. The kid got in a Christmas story.

2159
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 1: He might be the Red Musketeer or the Red musket

2160
02:04:33,600 --> 02:04:37,680
Speaker 1: for real. Okay, how about the Seattle Is Seattle good?

2161
02:04:38,760 --> 02:04:41,600
Speaker 1: They can't, They can't win at home. Coats will find

2162
02:04:41,640 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 1: out they played at home tonight, Right Houston ten o'clock

2163
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:48,080
Speaker 1: double dip. I mean, I'm a huge fan of these

2164
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 1: seven to ten double double headers, not the seven eight

2165
02:04:51,480 --> 02:04:54,360
Speaker 1: like last week. I'm not gonna be able to see

2166
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:55,800
Speaker 1: that game tonight, Eddie, and I'll have to have you

2167
02:04:55,880 --> 02:04:57,800
Speaker 1: recap it for me because I'm all locked in tonight.

2168
02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,600
Speaker 7: Oh boy, I'm I'm all locked in. You need to

2169
02:05:01,680 --> 02:05:04,000
Speaker 7: have a double TV setup somehow, No.

2170
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Just one. I'm locked in, baby, my Toronto Blue Jays.

2171
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I am all in. Seven week diehard fan. Diehard fan

2172
02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:17,000
Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty eight, die hard

2173
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:19,880
Speaker 1: fan from ninety to ninety four and the last seven

2174
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:24,120
Speaker 1: weeks all in, they actually are very fun to watch,

2175
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:26,080
Speaker 1: though I've watched like every game. They're very fun to watch.

2176
02:05:26,080 --> 02:05:29,200
Speaker 1: Who wins Tonight? Games? Game seven? Alcs? Who wins tonight?

2177
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 7: I always find it hard for the home team to

2178
02:05:31,520 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 7: lose in these situations. So and I like the pitching

2179
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 7: matchup avere Beater. Yes, I do think they get it

2180
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:43,920
Speaker 7: done tonight. Vlattie has just been unreal this series, and

2181
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 7: it kind of puts in perspective you know how good

2182
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:50,800
Speaker 7: these players are when they when they need to be.

2183
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:51,919
Speaker 1: We saw.

2184
02:05:53,600 --> 02:05:57,600
Speaker 7: The greatest performance in baseball history, arguably with schoeo Tanis.

2185
02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Now there is I did not realize this, did not

2186
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 1: realize this, but there was shohev Toanni going. I mean, listen,

2187
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 1: what did he go six innings? Six innings with I

2188
02:06:13,640 --> 02:06:15,920
Speaker 1: think ten k's in three earned runs?

2189
02:06:16,120 --> 02:06:16,480
Speaker 2: Is that right?

2190
02:06:16,800 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 7: He had three home runs? I don't think you had

2191
02:06:18,880 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 7: three runs? Did he only give up two? I can't remember.

2192
02:06:24,200 --> 02:06:27,400
Speaker 1: He had six innings, pitch, ten strikeouts, no earn runs

2193
02:06:27,440 --> 02:06:31,080
Speaker 1: in three walks and three homers. Okay, I didn't realize this,

2194
02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 1: And thank you for runner Bill for pointing this out

2195
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's Tony Collinger in nineteen sixty six. Now it's a

2196
02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 1: regular season game, so maybe you take it with a

2197
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 1: grain of salt. It's a little different than a game

2198
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:48,880
Speaker 1: clenching Pennant clenching win, right, But Tony Collinger in a game,

2199
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:57,280
Speaker 1: a complete game pitch against the Giants, three earned runs,

2200
02:06:57,520 --> 02:07:00,760
Speaker 1: five strikeouts, and three walks, also hit two Grand slams

2201
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 1: in the game. Holy nine RBI. Pretty impressive, yep. But

2202
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:14,520
Speaker 1: Shoho Tani is arguably he is arguably the greatest baseball

2203
02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: player of all time. Honestly, I mean he when he

2204
02:07:19,240 --> 02:07:22,200
Speaker 1: is pitching, he is arguably the best pitcher in the game,

2205
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 1: and he's probably the best pure hitter in the game.

2206
02:07:26,440 --> 02:07:31,440
Speaker 1: Not to mention base runner all of it. We'll come back.

2207
02:07:32,080 --> 02:07:33,960
Speaker 1: John will be here. We will hand it off to

2208

Speaker 1: three twenty one forty one. So Indiana played this at

2212
02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 1: the Rock, as Tom Fisher says, Memorial Stadium while playing

2213
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:53,320
Speaker 1: Michigan state. Of course, this is kind of the anthem

2214
02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 1: for Michigan Football. Big win for Indiana on Saturday over

2215
02:07:59,160 --> 02:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Michigan State and now number two in the country. Colts

2216
02:08:02,560 --> 02:08:05,080
Speaker 1: big win yesterday. J and V is here part of

2217
02:08:05,080 --> 02:08:06,600
Speaker 1: the crossover brought to you by the good guys that

2218
02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:09,600
Speaker 1: love heating and airs. I'd mentioned love dash HVAC dot com. John,

2219
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:11,720
Speaker 1: you got a big show lined up Colts related. I

2220
02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 1: would assume we kid it was great night.

2221
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:15,440
Speaker 4: By the way of sports here, you got a couple

2222
02:08:15,480 --> 02:08:18,200
Speaker 4: of Monday Niners. We love that at Game seven tonight

2223
02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:21,800
Speaker 4: ALCS and then that will be followed by the most

2224
02:08:21,880 --> 02:08:24,960
Speaker 4: boring probably World Series of all time, don't you think?

2225
02:08:25,120 --> 02:08:29,600
Speaker 1: Or you're not kidding about that? Because it's interesting, you know.

2226
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are I do like you know, Chavez, Ravine's

2227
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 1: beautiful uniforms are cool and they have I mean, Mookie

2228
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Bets seems like a fun guy and Otani's just incredible.

2229
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:42,760
Speaker 1: But your bowler, Mookie Betts is a professional bowler?

2230
02:08:43,120 --> 02:08:44,480
Speaker 2: Is he? Really? He was?

2231
02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 4: He played what's the bowling thing they have up at

2232
02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:51,520
Speaker 4: uh Woodland every year, and I think January or February.

2233
02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:54,160
Speaker 4: He's been there the past two years. I've tried to

2234
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 4: get him on the PBA, somebody, somebody has given a

2235
02:08:57,520 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 4: no go so which is a fortunate but yeah, they.

2236
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:04,080
Speaker 1: That will be.

2237
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:05,440
Speaker 7: And it's interesting.

2238
02:09:07,360 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 1: It's intriguing to me, I should say, because for whatever reason,

2239
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:14,920
Speaker 1: this year and I maybe I'm on an island here,

2240
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:21,000
Speaker 1: but this year's baseball postseason, I just found myself kind

2241
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:23,720
Speaker 1: of gravitating towards it. And I think I told you

2242
02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:26,280
Speaker 1: when I was out in when I was out in

2243
02:09:26,360 --> 02:09:29,040
Speaker 1: Denver last weekend and we stayed at Shannon's brother's house,

2244
02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:33,440
Speaker 1: and I was talking to Ryan and his wife, and

2245
02:09:33,680 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 1: both of them were saying how much they were enjoying

2246
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:37,720
Speaker 1: the postseason, you know. And then Rockies fans, so it's

2247
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: not like they have baseball interest really, but it does

2248
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:42,400
Speaker 1: feel like this postseason has been fun. And then yes,

2249
02:09:42,480 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 1: to your point, when you have a team with you know,

2250
02:09:45,200 --> 02:09:48,200
Speaker 1: eliminating somebody that they have a two hundred and ninety

2251
02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:50,040
Speaker 1: million other payroll higher than it's kind of.

2252
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:52,640
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I think it's you though, because you like

2253
02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:54,920
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays logo more than anything else.

2254
02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: That's fine. I mean honestly, that maybe is that's it

2255
02:09:57,840 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 1: because you're visions of Ernie behind the plate.

2256
02:10:02,440 --> 02:10:05,320
Speaker 4: Thinking about it right, correct, and they do Rake, Yeah,

2257
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:07,680
Speaker 4: they did not in what the first two games against

2258
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:11,480
Speaker 4: the Mayority Seattle did. Yeah, shortly thereafter in Seattle's you

2259
02:10:11,520 --> 02:10:14,400
Speaker 4: could tell outside of Raleigh most of that is kind

2260
02:10:14,440 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 4: of make believe, like found money, so to speak.

2261
02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:20,040
Speaker 1: The Blue Jay stuff is legit. There are guys across

2262
02:10:20,080 --> 02:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the board the fifth in Major League Baseball. Right, It's

2263
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:25,560
Speaker 1: not like there's some feel good story, but what's lined

2264
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:26,160
Speaker 1: up with the big show?

2265
02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 4: John Stephen Holder at some point two coming back from

2266
02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 4: LA about yesterday and the Colts now six and one,

2267
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:35,360
Speaker 4: and it has been absolutely incredible. Jonathan Taylor should be

2268
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:38,800
Speaker 4: your to me MVP, and you know we're gonna get

2269
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,480
Speaker 4: in that area now to where you absolutely have to

2270
02:10:41,640 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 4: address a need or to but certainly a need defensively.

2271
02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:48,120
Speaker 4: I said this yesterday. It's a must win prior to

2272
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:50,640
Speaker 4: the trade deadline for Chris Ballard to do something to

2273
02:10:50,680 --> 02:10:52,920
Speaker 4: add to this team. You do not jack around having

2274
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:55,760
Speaker 4: a season like this because you are not promised a

2275
02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,200
Speaker 4: damn thing next year. I can worry about next year

2276
02:10:58,360 --> 02:11:01,080
Speaker 4: next year, but there are there are some needs certainly

2277
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:03,240
Speaker 4: that need to be addressed that you can prior to

2278
02:11:03,320 --> 02:11:05,960
Speaker 4: the trade deadline and the Colts have to do it.

2279
02:11:06,080 --> 02:11:09,840
Speaker 1: That's I have to do you With IU football, John,

2280
02:11:10,400 --> 02:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned this earlier and we'll get more into this

2281
02:11:12,120 --> 02:11:15,160
Speaker 1: probably over the course of the year. But while the

2282
02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 1: basketball program is starting over, and you know, with Darren Derees,

2283
02:11:18,600 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of optimism and I think

2284
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:22,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fun to watch this year. But do

2285
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:26,040
Speaker 1: you feel like Indiana basketball has let's say a two

2286
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:30,120
Speaker 1: year window to really get things going before the fan

2287
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:33,600
Speaker 1: base just says, you know what, my interest now and

2288
02:11:33,720 --> 02:11:36,320
Speaker 1: my focus is the football side of things.

2289
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:38,600
Speaker 4: I would like to think the basketball is still going

2290
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:43,200
Speaker 4: to hold a high, high value. But I mean, I

2291
02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:46,240
Speaker 4: think obviously with what the football program is doing, that

2292
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:49,040
Speaker 4: goes without saying you talk about something that is new.

2293
02:11:49,080 --> 02:11:51,000
Speaker 4: That's why everybody last week, Jake and you were talking

2294
02:11:51,040 --> 02:11:55,360
Speaker 4: about this, like from Paul Finebaum to whoever that Compton

2295
02:11:55,400 --> 02:11:57,680
Speaker 4: guy is as well that talks both the Colts and

2296
02:11:58,480 --> 02:12:00,720
Speaker 4: I you they were so wrong. We're out in signetti

2297
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 4: because you have to do that. And the further that

2298
02:12:03,080 --> 02:12:06,160
Speaker 4: point was when Florida made that coaching change over the weekend.

2299
02:12:06,360 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 4: I mean, they're going to come at you from every

2300
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:10,240
Speaker 4: single angle you want to lock this dude up, because

2301
02:12:10,320 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 4: this has worked for the first time in the history

2302
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 4: of that program, and just nobody knows what it's been

2303
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:17,800
Speaker 4: like to be around here. Everybody like Paul Feinbaum is

2304
02:12:17,880 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 4: thinking about being a grandfathered in of the state of Alabama,

2305
02:12:21,080 --> 02:12:23,080
Speaker 4: and the SEC has no idea what They.

2306
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:27,640
Speaker 1: Also are completely naive as to the wind of change

2307
02:12:27,680 --> 02:12:30,760
Speaker 1: of college football. Where look, guys, this is not it's

2308
02:12:30,800 --> 02:12:34,120
Speaker 1: not SEC dominant anymore. It's a wide open field man,

2309
02:12:34,160 --> 02:12:36,480
Speaker 1: wide open, all right. John's up next, Yes, he will

2310
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:38,520
Speaker 1: bring you home. Steven Holder going to join us on

2311
02:12:38,560 --> 02:12:40,400
Speaker 1: the program today. Plenty of talk about the Colts. We'll

2312
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:42,880
Speaker 1: be back with you at noon tomorrow. And I thank

2313
02:12:42,920 --> 02:12:44,200
Speaker 1: you for listening to Quarrying Company.
