1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: So last night, let me explain what happened that I

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: had no idea about. None, did not have any idea that.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: And I mean, you always know about this as a

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: matter of fact, if you were to go back to

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: high school, and it was I mean I was probably

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: thirty before I figured this out. But when you attend

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: a high school that has North in the title of

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: the school for whatever, so our yearbook at Northstor High School,

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: nobody cares, I realized. But there's a point to this.

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: The yearbook was called the then the Northerner or the

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Northern Lights, I think, and then there was like an

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: offshoot of that, kind of like an underground newspaper, if

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, called the Aurora Borealis. And I never was.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: It was like thirty years old before I realized, oh,

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: the Aurora borealis is the official name of the Northern Lights.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: And so I always knew of the Northern Lights. And

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: all I knew was that, like if you go to

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: the North Pole and you get out of the way

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: of Eddie Garrison, the Elf, while you're up in the

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: North Pole, you can look up and the sky is

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: pink or red or purple or whatever, and that's what

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: I knew of the Northern Lights, right. And then last

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: night I'm literally minding my own business, tending to things,

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: getting things set for today when Jamb's going to take over.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for that, and we'll get into that. And I'm

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: going on vacation and suddenly and I'm on a group

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: text of friends from high school, and Michelle Connell sends

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: this text and says, hey, is everybody looking at the

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Northern Lights? And I thought, why is she looking at

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: a high school newspaper from thirty six years ago? That

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: seems odd, right, And then I hear it. I get

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: in my car and I hear the song right, and

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: it starts to dance in my head. And so everybody

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: is posting pictures everywhere of the North lights, right, and

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the pink hue of the sky. Now, Eddie, you didn't

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: get to see it because you were in here doing

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the pacer game.

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: Correct, That is correct?

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Okay? So I drive up north and I go to

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: my sister's house up near Carmel, and she has kind

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: of a field in her neighborhood and lo and behold,

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: lo and behold. And you know, oftentimes people will say

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: with something like that that you need you. Well, you

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: can't see it to the naked eye, but if you

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: take a picture on your iPhone, you know, then you

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: can see it. Well, I never thought I would see

47
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: the northern lights. I knew about the song from fish,

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I knew about the old newspaper. I never thought I

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: would see it. And I looked up and I believe

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: this is also the case tonight, Eddie. So you have

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: a chance at reprieve here, right. Yes, Well, the northern

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: lights doesn't like it doesn't have like, you know, banking hours.

53
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's just there, right, So

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: it's not like.

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: The uh oh, I can't even I'm gonna stop talking.

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: The full moon, thank yeah, the what's the one they

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: call when there's like two full moons, the blue moon

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: or whatever it is that the supermoon. I think there's

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: a super moon from time to time. So the northern

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: lights are essentially as I understand it, and my understanding

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: would be vague at best, because even though I had

62
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: to go back and take college electives two years ago,

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: been a while since I've studied this kind of thing.

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: But as I understand it, it has to do with

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: solar flares and then as well the crystals of the

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: atmosphere and the way that that is interpreted and then

67
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: or not interpreted. But you know what I mean, the

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: way it comes through and the colors that it creates.

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: So last night, I'm standing there and my sister says, no,

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: you just you got to wait, and all of a sudden,

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: like it'll just happen like from time to time, and boom,

72
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: there it was. There it was, And I'm standing in Indianapolis, Indiana,

73
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: looking up at the northwestern sky and one of those

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: things that I never thought I would see. I never

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: thought i'd see the Northern Lights unless I went somewhere,

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, to Norway to go see it. And it

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. It was very surreal and it was

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: cool to see it and you could see it to

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the naked eye. And that's kind of like where we

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: are right now in the world of sports in Indianapolis,

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: truth be told. Did you think six months ago that

82
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: going into the bye week, that we would be talking

83
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: about a colts team that is eight and two. Did

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: you think six months ago, for that matter, Yeah, five

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: months ago that we would be talking about a Pacer

86
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: team that still had a win, and that win. If

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken is over Golden State, if memory serves

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: me correct, and that that would be it, and that

89
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: they would go out and you would be seeing games

90
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: where they're going into Utah and they're getting beat by

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: like thirty even though for some of these games they're

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: hanging around you and they're playing okay. They just don't

93
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: have great players, you know, they're let me phrase that

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: they're great players are not available to them and those

95
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: that are are playing in sparing minutes. Did you think

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: that we would be talking about Indiana as the second

97
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: ranked team in college football and that the college Football

98
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Playoff rankings would be coming out for a second installment

99
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: and Indiana would still be the talk of college football

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: and the ire of Texas A and M and Georgia

101
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: and big time programs, that they would be looking up

102
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: at Indiana, and that those Georgia and Texas A and

103
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: M thought for certain that never in their lifetime would

104
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: they have to look up in the rankings and see

105
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: the hue of cream and crimson, just like you did

106
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: not think that you would ever be able to stand

107
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: out in a field in Carmel, Indiana and look up

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: and see the hue of the Northern Lights And did

109
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: you ever think that Purdue, for example, would be the

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: number one team in college basketball, win a game and

111
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: still slip in the rankings as a result of it.

112
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: There are so many things going on that seem to

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: be this like supernatural anomaly within Central Indiana, and I'm

114
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: here for it. I love it because most of it's good.

115
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: The Pacers aspect, as we talked about yesterday, might actually

116
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: be a silver lining within it might be we may

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: find out. Can you imagine, Eddie, if the Pacers end

118
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: up with a top five pick in the draft and

119
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: end up with an opportunity to get you know, the

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: kid from BYU or whatever it may be, or a

121
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: transcendent player to add to this roster. But last night,

122
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: when you were watching that game, you're thinking to yourself,

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: this is a team that was just in the finals.

124
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: But let's begin with this on this Wednesday. I believe

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: today's a Wednesday, correct, Eddie? Now you love it here today? Right?

126
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: You're here today?

127
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: Right?

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

129
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: I think I am everything going okay over there?

130
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: Yes, seem like like are you looking at the ring

131
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: camera at home and the house is on fire?

132
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: No?

133
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: No, no, So as I get up today and I'm

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: thinking about all of that. I did see a story

135
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: about the NFL free agency upcoming, and yes, we're not

136
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: necessarily in free agency right now, but it's never too

137
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: early to start talking about and looking at and forecasting

138
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: who exactly might be there available to your team or

139
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: what players are of interest elsewhere and whoever would have

140
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: guessed again, theme of the day, that the Colts would

141
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: find themselves in position where some of the marquee players

142
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: in the National Football League of availability. People are going

143
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: to be driving around four sixty five trying to pluck

144
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: those players away. Because right now on ESPN they have

145
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: a listing of the most desirable free agents once free

146
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: agency begins here coming up in the off season. Now,

147
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: I do think that these are guys that for the

148
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: most part, the Colts are going to do everything they

149
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: can to retain all three of them. There have been

150
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: players in times, in periods and positions where you look

151
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: at some guys and you go, Okay, we know that

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: player is a free agent, but they're probably going to

153
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: let him walk because the salary doesn't match, or it

154
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: just hasn't been a match, or they have a player,

155
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: a good player that is there in the taking for them,

156
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: but for the Colts. There are three that made the

157
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: list on ESPN dot com of most desirable free agents

158
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Daniel Jones, Braden Smith and Alec Pierce

159
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the three that are at the top now. Of those three,

160
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: clearly the one that is of the biggest priority would

161
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: be Daniel Jones. But and I hate to be Debbie

162
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Downer here, I really do wonder if I am the

163
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: only person who feels this way. And yes, I sat

164
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: here on this radio show and vociferously claimed a month

165
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: ago that Daniel Jones was the Colts MVP. And I

166
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: still you know, he has been fabulous and they are

167
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: in a situation now where he probably has even more

168
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: value to the Colts than he does elsewhere because of

169
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: the fact that you you know, he knows the system,

170
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: he knows has a very good relationship with Stichen, knows

171
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the offense, knows the players, and in addition to that,

172
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: they have now sacrificed and mortgaged and put a lot

173
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: of investment into him because they have sent two first

174
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: round picks elsewhere to get Sauce Gardner. And based on

175
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: sending those two picks away, that means where do you

176
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: find his replacement?

177
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 4: There?

178
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: Are not many quarterbacks in the league right now that

179
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: were beyond who is the best quarterback Eddie in the

180
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: National Football League right now that was not drafted in

181
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: the first round.

182
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Lamar Oh, I know, Lamar was the very last pick.

183
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd have to think about it, right.

184
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd have to actually research on quarterbacks thirty Yeah,

185
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: obviously he was, you know, but he's hurt right now.

186
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: So total anomaly, I realized. But you see my point.

187
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that would lead you to believe that

188
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: for the Colts, they're like, yes, this is our guy. However,

189
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be I try to be consistent

190
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: and I try to stand by something when I say it.

191
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: The one thing that I will say is the last

192
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: two games, Daniel Jones and some of the turnovers are

193
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: starting to give me, not pause, but I'm awakened to

194
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: a potential concern when I look at that. And I

195
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: look at because that's the thing. If you were to

196
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: go buy a car and you're gonna go buy a

197
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: used car, you had bought yourself a car that you bought,

198
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: a Ferrari, and you thought for certain, You're like, I've

199
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: waited my whole life to have a Ferrari.

200
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I missed the obvious when Jalen Hurts.

201
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but again Jalen Hurts. Good news, I guess

202
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: is the fact that Jalen Hurts was partially awakened by

203
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: the guy that's coaching the Colts. So back, maybe that

204
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: gives you Dak Prescott's another one, but for the most part,

205
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: it is rare. Right. Let's say that you go out,

206
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not even gonna say, Ferrari, you go out

207
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: and you buy yourself a sports car that looks everything

208
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: about it is exactly what you have always dreamed of having,

209
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: and you have waited forever. You've had a car that

210
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: you keep having to put more and more money into it,

211
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: and your mechanic and your significant other, and every person's like, look, man,

212
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to quit driving this car. You've got

213
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: to get a new car. Whether you get a new

214
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: used car or a brand new car, I don't care.

215
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: But you are just wasting your money with this car.

216
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: And that's what the Colts were doing in the quarterback

217
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: position for a long time. Look, you're gonna have to

218
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: get a quarterback. I know you want to get Philip Rivers.

219
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I know you want to get Matt Ryan. I know

220
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: you want to reawaken those guys and extend and keep

221
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: taking it to the mechanic and putting a little more

222
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: money in it and getting another ten thousand miles out

223
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: of it. I get it. But eventually you've got to

224
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: make the commitment and get a car. So you do that,

225
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: and you go and you get your dream sports car,

226
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: and it looks sleek, and it looks fast, and it

227
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: can absolutely drive in the open road like nobody's business.

228
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, the second that you get at, the forecast

229
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: changes and it's literally snow, ice and or rain six

230
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: days a week. And you're like, yeah, on the seventh day,

231
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: this car is unbelievably fun. Well that's true, but it's

232
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: in the garage a lot. Well, I know, but it's

233
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: hard to drive in these conditions or it's got this

234
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: going on. So eventually, you say, while I understand, I

235
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: have the sleek, sexy, super fun, intriguing, waited my whole

236
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: life for it, brand new sports car in my garage,

237
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: I've got to go out and just get a simply

238
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: reliable car with twenty five thousand miles on it that

239
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: is really good from a to b and you a

240
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Honda Civic and you go and you get that car

241
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: and you pick it up, and the guy that you

242
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: buy it from says, I'm just warning you this car,

243
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: even though everything about it is super reliable, there are

244
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: times where the muffler rattles, and there are times where

245
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: like the suspension slips a little bit. And you get

246
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: it and as soon as you start driving it, you're like,

247
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: this thing's unbelievable and you have zero problem with it,

248
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: and everything literally hums along with no problem whatsoever.

249
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: Jake, I love your sound effects. I need a muffler

250
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: one and a suspension or whatever.

251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: You say. That's your muffler, right, there's your suspension. Okay,

252
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with that, so more would be like, but

253
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: you get my point. So once those little sound effects

254
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: come into play, once you start to hear it, because

255
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: the guy that you bought the car from had told

256
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: you it had otherwise been a good car, but the

257
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: muffler and the suspension were the reason why he was

258
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: able to sell it to you for a really good price.

259
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: As soon as you start to hear even a hint

260
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: of those two things, it literally is like when you

261
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: look up in your rear view mirror and you see

262
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: a bee flying in your car, It's like, oh my gosh,

263
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: holy cow, here it comes and it begins, it accentuates itself,

264
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: and it's louder, and it seems exaggerated. And that's where

265
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: the Colts are right now, seemingly if you really think

266
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: about it, not the Colts, but as a Colts fan,

267
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: where if you want to put yourself there. And I'm

268
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of there with Daniel Jones. I'm not saying that

269
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready to trade in the car by any stretch

270
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: of the imagination, but for the first time, I'm starting

271
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: to hear the sound of the muffler, of the suspension

272
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: that are the reason the car was available to begin with.

273
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: And for the first seven times that I drove to work,

274
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: it was flawless, the smoothest ride ever. Yeah, and that's

275
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: where you are. And then you look at it and

276
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: you go, yeah, but I already took my rain and

277
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: day fund for car a new car and spend it.

278
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: I think your bff said at best yesterday day Jake

279
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: talking about Derek Schultz, the Colts were operating at a

280
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: level of efficiency that just was not sustainable, Like it

281
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: was record pace you knew the offense is going to

282
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: come down in some Now. I will say the ball

283
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: security part of it, I think is the easiest fix

284
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: in terms of putting it all on the ground. That's

285
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: just you know, being aware of, Hey, I need to

286
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: have two hands on the football at all times when

287
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: I'm in the pocket, and I can't just have the

288
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: ball loosey goosey when I'm running outside the pocket to

289
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: where it can you know, slip out of my hand

290
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: and when I'm going down to the boundary.

291
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: Agree any but the problem is this, Okay, and again

292
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: admittedly okay.

293
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: This is like.

294
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: What we're doing right now is going out into a

295
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: caramel field to see the northern lights and this beauty

296
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: before us that we did not anticipate was going to

297
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: be there, and is the anomaly that you're enjoying. And

298
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: we're complaining about the one neighbor that has a spotlight

299
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: motion detector on their house that's making it hard to

300
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: see the lights. In general, we still have the Colts

301
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: are eight and two heading into the by and things

302
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: are going very well. We are admittedly nitpicking or forecasting

303
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: what could be a potential issue here, but I don't

304
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: disagree with you about seemingly it's an easy fix, so

305
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: to speak, with protection of the football, except for that

306
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: that is the exact same thing that was said about

307
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: him in New York. And at some point something is

308
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: what it is. And if the inability to protect the

309
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: football is part of the reason why he was available

310
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: to begin with, then all of a sudden, when that

311
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: suspension starts to squeak a little bit, you'd just become

312
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: a little more hypertuned to it. Simply that the other

313
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: two that were listed on this free agent list of

314
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: desirable NFL free agents were Braiden Smith and Alec Pierce,

315
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: and Braiden Smith is an interesting one because they know

316
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: and they have gone through a year without him, essentially,

317
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that the things that he worked through

318
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: he worked through and came back and he's been a

319
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: really solid player for them. But at the same time,

320
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: because of his when I say age, it's not like

321
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: the guy's forty. But Chris Ballard has done a good

322
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: job of finding offensive lineman. Gonzalveez has been a really

323
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: good find. Bordolini was a really good find. And finding

324
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: guys even if it's not necessarily at their natural position,

325
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you get a tackle and you move

326
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: them over to guard to replace Braden Smith. But they

327
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: now because of the fact if you don't have a

328
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: first round pick, but you have shored up areas elsewhere,

329
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: most areas that I think that you are taking care

330
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: of in an NFL draft. The Colts have done a

331
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: good job now where they have a good, young, solid room.

332
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: They're not really in need of receiver. They're not in

333
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: need of tight end, they're not in need of corner,

334
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: they're not in need of safety, and so they can

335
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: spend one would assume a second or a third round

336
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: pick on alignment if they so need now getting one

337
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: and immediately putting them in as a starter in the NFL.

338
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: That's again a different talk show. But I do think

339
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: that of the three between Jones, Smith and the next

340
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: guy I'm going to mention, Smith becomes your third priority.

341
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: And that third, which might be the most important, is

342
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. We talked about it yesterday with Derek. Alec

343
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: Pearce right now might be the best receiver on the

344
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: Colts roster because he Michael Pittman is a dog. He

345
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: is a and that's a good thing. Michael Pittman has

346
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: I think a year ago we were complaining about Michael

347
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Pittman or raising our shoulders about Michael Pittman, And in reality,

348
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman is a go out there and get it done.

349
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,120
Speaker 1: Excuse me, get it done on every play while hurt guy.

350
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: And when he was going over the middle of a

351
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: year ago and taking big hits, I mean, you know,

352
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: he had his back was hurt, but he played through it.

353
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: He was a use every NFL term you want, a dog,

354
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a warrior, whatever else. I know some people get upset

355
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: with warrior, but he was a tough guy and he's

356
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: been a great player for them. And Josh Downs is

357
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: certainly an important floating a meeba all over the place.

358
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: Wherever you need to find a play, Josh Downs seemingly

359
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: is there an Ashton Doolan. I think everybody knows how

360
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: much I love Ashton Doulan. Find yourself in Ashton Doolan.

361
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: But Alec Pierce in terms of the versatility that he

362
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: has number one because he can get behind the defense.

363
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: But also now because he has whether it's that he

364
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: has reinvented himself in this area or they have reinvented

365
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: the way to use him, he can be an online

366
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: bubble screen or short yardage almost possession level receiver. His

367
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: versatility is definitely to be commended. And then you throw

368
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: in the fact Eddie that there's rumor that he dated

369
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney.

370
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: Right, I don't think I've ever seen that. I've never

371
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: seen that rumor.

372
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: You've not seen the rumor that Sidney Sweeney and Alec Pearce.

373
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: I think maybe they just like went out and got

374
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: frozen yogur at once. Look up. Can you do me

375
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: a favor and it might be dangerous on the company

376
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: work side. Here website, look up Sidney Sweeney, Alec peers

377
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: and see if anything pops up, at least in terms

378
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: of on the internet. You don't see anything. You've never heard?

379
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Am I the only one that's heard this? Am I

380
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: the only one? Greg? Greg Strot's going to join us

381
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes, and I'll ask Greg if

382
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: he's familiar with this. I'm googling it right now. Sidney Sweeney,

383
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Alec Pearce.

384
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: No, I have never No, there's not even a single

385
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: thing that pops up.

386
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: There is no evidence of a prominent Alec Pierce being

387
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: connected to her. I'm telling you I know I did

388
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: not make this up. I heard this at some point.

389
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: I think you might have dreamt it, Jacob, No, I'm

390
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: telling you it was during training camp. There was a

391
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: rumor there was like one thing out there that Alec

392
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: Pierce haid it supposedly met up with Sidney Sweeney. Yeah,

393
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: I've just like met up with that, telling.

394
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: You call me crazy, I think you're making this up

395
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 2: on the.

396
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: Show today, Greg reg Star going to join us in

397
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Maybe I'll ask Greg if that's

398
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you like I didn't make I'm not saying

399
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: it's founded. I'm not saying it's factual, but the rumor

400
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: was out there. I'm certain that there was a rumor

401
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: at one point that Sidney Sweeney and Alec Pierce like

402
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: had met or he like reached out to her or something,

403
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: or they were somewhere. He's a nice looking guy, right

404
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: he is. Are you saying that that's not necessarily that

405
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: not in her category? You said that in this belief? No,

406
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I just.

407
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: Get very weary of complimenting other men.

408
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Why that Matthew McConaughey is a nice looking fella, right,

409
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: if you were going to be if you were if

410
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: we were doing a movie right now of my life?

411
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Who would play you?

412
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I'm not even sure. I thought of your

413
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: Vern from Standby Me, But you don't look like him. Now,

414
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: I've never seen stand by Me, so I don't know

415
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: who Vern is or what he looks like.

416
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: I feel like there's one of the guys from Entourage.

417
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: I've not watched a lot of Entourage, but there's one

418
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: of the characters from Entourage that you remind me of.

419
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: I've been told that looks like Salvacano from Impractical Jokers.

420
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: But okay, does he have a large melon?

421
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 4: I do not know.

422
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Which takes us back to Sidney Sweeney. So you don't

423
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: believe that she actually ever like met up with or

424
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: Alec Pearson.

425
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't think may pass, et cetera. Okay, don't think so.

426
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: Greg Reix start going to join us on the show today.

427
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: Also Joel Erickson will join us. And this is the

428
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: definition of teamwork and a lot of people. I think

429
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: people now know this, but originally, you know, yesterday we

430
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: had Derek Schultz on the show, for example, and Derek

431
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: and I of course did a show together for I

432
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: don't know, eight, nine, ten years something like that. Over

433
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: on another radio station that no longer has local sports programming.

434
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: And during that time, Derek and I were up each

435
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: and every day against JMV. I mean we were essentially

436
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: in terms of the business itself, we were rivals. And

437
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: however j ANDV kind of cut his teeth, came up

438
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: through the ranks working for Mark Patrick. I was doing

439
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: the same for Ed Sorenson, and Ed Sorenson and Mark

440
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: Patrick were rivals, which naturally would make John and I

441
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: rivals of one another, just through you know, like the

442
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: osmosis of being around the person who is like your mentor.

443
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: And I recall one time JMV and Mark Patrick when

444
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: I was working for Ed. Ed was kind of an instigator,

445
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: and Ed one day said to me, Yeah, I was

446
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: out a show and you know, at a ballgame or

447
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: whatever in the media room and Mark Patrick and that

448
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: guy JMV were talking about you, meaning me, and I

449
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: called John. I'd never met him, and I called him.

450
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, so I hear like, you were

451
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: talking about me whatever, And JMV is like, what are

452
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: you talking about? This was literally twenty five years ago.

453
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: We sat there and had a long laugh about the guy.

454
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: You know, the things that we were going through as

455
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: young guys just trying to make our way into the industry,

456
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: and then when it just so happened based on circumstance

457
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: that we worked alongside against one another, I should say

458
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: I think there were people that, you know, it certainly

459
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: would happen with me where people would be like, yeah,

460
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: you know, I listened to you instead of JMV. And

461
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: I doubt that people said that to J and V

462
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: about the show that Derek and I were doing because

463
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: we were on a smaller station. But nonetheless, what people

464
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: didn't know was that on the regular, probably once a week,

465
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe twice a week, he and I would talk on

466
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: the phone all the time, just about the industry that

467
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: we're in and the shows that we're doing, and the

468
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: things that we were trying to do and you know,

469
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: trying to keep radio going and growing it. And then

470
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: of course now we are colleagues. So today my vacation,

471
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm going on vacation. We are leaving later this afternoon,

472
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: but my flight is such that I've got to leave

473
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: a little early today. And JANEV said, you know what,

474
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: no problem, I'll come in and do the show an

475
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: hour early and do four hours instead of three hours

476
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: today and that's the definition of that's teamwork, that's teammate right.

477
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: That is being that literally is like Tyrese Halliburton saying,

478
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: you know what, Aaron Neesmith can't be there, but I'll

479
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: go ahead and play small forward for the day, which

480
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: is very much appreciated. And one of the guys that's

481
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: going to fill in for me while I'm gone, Greg Regstraw,

482
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: will ask him not only about the Colts that goes

483
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: without saying, but something else that he saw yesterday that

484
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: I think is kind of growing on the radar of Indianapolis,

485
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: and I'll ask him about that next. Tellan YOUA, it's

486
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: what it was last night. It was unbelievable. I I

487
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: it was crazy to me because to know that the

488
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: Northern Lights was visible in northern Indianapolis and to not

489
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: know about that until it was dark outside. You would

490
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: have thought that would have been the kind of thing

491
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: that you know, like maybe it was you know, a

492
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: month out that people would be like, hey, the Northern

493
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: Lights on you know eleven eleven, take a look at it.

494
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: Maybe you can't forecast that ahead of time, kind of

495
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: like how you can't forecast that the Colts on the

496
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: bye week would be eight and two, sitting as the

497
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: number one seed within the AFC, or right at the

498
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: top of things for the NFL. The guy that does,

499
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: of course, the postgame show that you hear on the

500
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: Colts radio network. Joining us now in the Java House

501
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: Peel and Port guest line Greg Reichstraw, who you'll hear

502
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: on this radio station, and I'm grateful for that over

503
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of days while I'm on vacation, joining

504
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: us now, rig let's begin with I want to get

505
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: to the Colts actually, but before that, I want to

506
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: ask you about something that you witnessed yesterday. Not the

507
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: Aurora borealis of the Northern Lights, but that we were

508
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of waiting to light up, and that is the

509
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: IU Indie basketball offense. Because I knew when they went

510
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: out and got a new head coach and talked about

511
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: it in the Horizon League media days that IU Indy

512
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: was anticipated they were going to be this high flying offense,

513
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: and not that they haven't been, but apparently yesterday against

514
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: IU Columbus, they really flipped that switch.

515
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 3: And you were there, correct, correct, So A my ears

516
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: are still ringing from fifty five hundred elementary school kids

517
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: being at the game, a new IU Indie record. This

518
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: is something that they've done a handful of years in

519
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: terms of having a weekday met and a game. And

520
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 3: frankly Baseball's had this idea forever, having a baseball and

521
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: education day, and now minor league hockey does it, and

522
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: a lot of kind of small colleges slash low to

523
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: mid d ones will do it too. Take one home game,

524
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: usually against the non Division one foe, and play an

525
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: afternoon game and bring in some field trip kids and

526
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: have a good time with it. And so yes IU

527
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: ind put up one hundred and twenty one points and

528
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: the two stats that probably would jump off the page

529
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: at you. IU Indy attempted forty threes in yesterday's game.

530
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: It was a forty minute game. You can do the

531
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: math on the pace on that uh And then in

532
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: terms of the points off turnovers, yesterday the Jaguars won

533
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: that margin fifty one to ten because IU Columbus and

534
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: the ball over thirty six times. That is what that

535
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,959
Speaker 3: high pressure, high pace offense is designed to do. And

536
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: now we'll see if that will translate against Division one competition.

537
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 3: When the jack or was turned to it against Eastern

538
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: Michigan on Friday night.

539
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg, that was the thing I was going to

540
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: ask is. And the reason I ask it is because

541
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: people love anomaly offenses. And I'm not saying that IU

542
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: Indy's doing it like as some sort of a gimmick.

543
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is, you know, from the coaching standpoint,

544
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: Ben Hallett, I believe is his name, like, this is

545
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: what he brings with him right from and we saw

546
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: it with Indiana State with Josh sure Is coming in

547
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: and we didn't know who this was and then all

548
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like they just were clicking offensively. Do

549
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: you believe this is an offense that can sustain and

550
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: keep people on their heels within the Horizon League?

551
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: I absolutely do. You know, I think as time goes on,

552
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: you know, you know, Ben got the job in late May,

553
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: brought a handful of kids with him from West Liberty,

554
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: where he had been tremendously successful in Division two. I

555
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: had frequently made the Elite eight. His record at West

556
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: Liberty was two seventeen and thirty seven, And so it

557
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: tells you that it worked at that level. I do

558
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: think it can work with a Division one level. I

559
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: think as Ben is able to recruit more players that

560
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: want to play this system where you can go, hey,

561
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: there's really no such thing as a bad shot, Hey

562
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: you kind of got free or aim to let it fly. Hey,

563
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna play, you know, twenty twenty five minutes a game.

564
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: Go play with your air on fire and have a

565
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: good time. I think the level of recruit will increase,

566
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: and I think level of success I think will increase

567
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: for IU Indy as well. And what if your reference

568
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 3: Josh Shirts and I'm glad. I think part of what

569
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: we're also, you know, seeing is that for a long

570
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: time there was kind of a glass ceiling on guys

571
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: that were really good small college coaches that just didn't

572
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: give an opportunity in Division one. Well, Josh Shurtz has

573
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: done that now at Saint Louis. But McCollum has done that,

574
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: you know now at Iowa after going through Drake and

575
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 3: so Ben Hallett hopes to be the next guy that

576
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: does that, and I you indeed obviously hopes to be

577
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 3: the benefactor of that too.

578
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Greg Greg Straw is my guest Java House Peel and

579
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: poor guest. Line of course, Greg, also you hear his voice,

580
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: not only will you be hearing it here with this

581
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: radio station over the next couple of days, thankfully, but

582
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: also in the Colts postgame shows and Greg, you know

583
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: you've done so far this year, there were probably more

584
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: occasions than not where you sat down and thought, is

585
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: this like, is this real? And I don't mean that

586
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: as a disrespect to the Colts, you know what I mean,

587
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: at what point did you realize this is in fact

588
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: real and this team is not going away?

589
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: You know, I thought it was really about a month

590
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: or so in just because yes, I acknowledge the Colt

591
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: slit up some bad football teams early in the season,

592
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: but at the same time, most teams don't win by

593
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: that margin of victory against anybody in the National Football League.

594
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: And the two Colts losses, you know, the Steelers are

595
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: probably a middling five hundred team that you know, I

596
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: think maybe had their best defense ever of the season

597
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: against the Colts. I think the Rams are pretty good

598
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: football team, and to be honest, the Colts kind of

599
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: gave that game away. But once you get to like

600
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: mid October and you're sitting there at five to one,

601
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: you go, all right, I think this is pretty legitimate.

602
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 3: So I think this team is real now, It does

603
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: not mean they are enemy challenges in front of them.

604
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: You could probably say that Atlanta is the you know,

605
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: starting from Sunday going forward, is the worst team to

606
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: Colt will face the rest of the way. You know

607
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: you've got We're out of six division games against Jacksonville

608
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: and Houston. The other three games left Kansas City, Seattle,

609
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: and San Francisco. So nothing comes easy of the seven

610
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 3: games the Colts have left. But because of the style

611
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: the Colts play and because of the general thought that

612
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: you can run the ball on anybody, that gives you

613
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: a chance against anybody, and so I think there are

614
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: potentially great things out of his football team.

615
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: Jake, do you have concern? Greg Or, Well, let me

616
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: rephrase that I have concern, and then I want you

617
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: to tell me if you think that I am being

618
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: way too paranoid slash critical. Daniel Jones has been spectacular,

619
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: and I know I've sung his praises on the regular here.

620
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: But the football security the last couple of weeks is

621
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: starting to suddenly give me a little bit of PTSD

622
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: of what happened when he was in New York. Talk

623
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: me off that.

624
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: Ledge, No, that's fair, and that is on my radar

625
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: as well. And the thing that would correspond to that

626
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: would be the fact that, you know, we sang the

627
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 3: praises of the offensive line, both run block and past block.

628
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: You know, for the first eight weeks of the season,

629
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden there's a lot more pressure around

630
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones.

631
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 5: And so.

632
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I can talk you off the ledge

633
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: other than hey, the Colt still have the best record,

634
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: one of the best records in the National Football League.

635
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 3: If the season ended today, the Colt be the number

636
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 3: one seed, that not one of the vision eleven years.

637
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: I can give you all the logical reasons to say, hey,

638
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: big picture things are still all right, but is that

639
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 3: a little bit more on my radar because of the

640
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. Absolutely, it is the part that

641
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: doesn't relate to Daniel or clear the race of Daniel Jones,

642
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: but isn't necessarily on him. Would be all right, take

643
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: a look at what's changed in terms of past block

644
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: along the offensive line and can you rectify that? Can

645
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: that get better? So frankly, number seventeen then have so

646
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: much traffic around them.

647
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: I thought saus Gardner in the game against Atlanta late

648
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: Greg we saw an ability for the Colts defensively to

649
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: kind of get a little bit more aggressive and in

650
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: particular bring up a safety because they knew they had

651
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: the security of sauce Gardner on the line and pressing

652
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: late in the game. It seemed like he kind of

653
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: took a while to get in the flow. Yeah, I

654
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: know he had the slip on the two point conversion.

655
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: That's probably footing as much as anything. But overall, I

656
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: thought we started to see glimpse as to why Chris

657
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Ballard thought two first rounders was still not too much

658
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: to pay for him. What did you think right?

659
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: And I had zero problem with that, because, again, if

660
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 3: you get this right, those first round picks are back

661
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 3: end of first round picks, and I have always been

662
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: a believer of especially when the kids twenty four years

663
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: of age and you've got him under contractual control for

664
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 3: the next four plus years. I'd made that deal too.

665
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: I had zero problem with giving up two first round

666
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 3: picks sauce Gardner. Again, if your record is the way

667
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: it's trending this year, and you can repeat that next year,

668
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: then I think you end up looking like a genius.

669
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: I think things for this Colts defense Jake almost kind

670
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: of flipped now with the absence of the Forest Buckner

671
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 3: for at least the next month, where you go, all right,

672
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: you felt good about slowing down the run, I'm not

673
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: so sure about the passing game. Remarkably, that now changes

674
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 3: because you bring in Sauce Gardner, You've got the return

675
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: of Jalen Jones fingers crossed, you get Mooney Ward back

676
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: as soon as you have the next game, and now

677
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: it's almost like, well, you might have to show up

678
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: the run a little bit, but you feel pretty good

679
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: about the guys in terms of the defensive backfield and

680
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: at least slowing down to the team's passing game. And

681
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: I thought we saw that aggression from the Indianapolis Colts

682
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: defense really for the entirety of the contest. And I

683
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: also think now that you've got more than you know,

684
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: two three days to plan as to how to use Saw,

685
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: I think you'll see lou Ana Rumo use him a

686
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: little bit differently. People may not recognize that, you know,

687
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: by Tuesday afternoon, man, especially on a week where you're

688
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 3: traveling to Berlin, your game plans in by that point

689
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: in time, and you're kind of tailing around now that

690
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: you've got the bye weekend of a fully career for that.

691
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: My guess is how they play defensively might change a

692
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: bit more around Sauce Gardner than what we saw on Sunday.

693
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 1: Greg, before we find out what you've got in store

694
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: for the next couple of days. I had mentioned this earlier,

695
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: and I want you to tell me if I was hallucinating.

696
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: I could swear that around the time that we were

697
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: at Grand Park and Westfield during Colts Camp that there

698
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: was some sort of online rumor that Alec Pierce had

699
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: had a date with Sidney Sweeney. Am I totally off base?

700
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: I remember hearing about that. Since that's not my beat,

701
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: I didn't further investigate. But I don't think you're completely

702
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: making that up.

703
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's not your beat. We know that. What

704
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: do you have planned over the next couple of days?

705
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 3: All right?

706
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 5: So?

707
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: Literally, I just left and a town where an IndyCar

708
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: driver is from. I'm not far away from passing the

709
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 3: site of a current IndyCar race, and I am on

710
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 3: my way to a place that, according from rumors, might

711
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: be intersted in hosting an IndyCar race again in the

712
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: very near future. Jake, where might what road might I

713
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: be on right now?

714
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: Boy?

715
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: That's good. Let me ask you this. You are obviously

716
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: not in the state of Indiana. Correct.

717
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: I am not in the state of Indiana. I was

718
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: earlier today, I'm not now.

719
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: My first guest would be that the Ed Carpenter was

720
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: born in Paris, Illinois, And if you were going north,

721
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: you would be going past the Chicago Speedway, perhaps in Juliette.

722
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: That would be my guess of the path that you're going.

723
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: I might even remotely if we.

724
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: If we had this conversation last Wednesday or Thursday, you

725
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 3: would have been correct. Go the opposite direction. I am

726
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 3: on my way to Cleveland, Ohio for Horizon League Soccer

727
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 3: as we speak.

728
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so you said the birthplace of one current IndyCar driver.

729
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: So I just left the hometown of a current IndyCar driver.

730
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: That'd be Graham ray Hall.

731
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: Correct. And I'm about to pass a current IndyCar facility.

732
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: That would be mid Ohio.

733
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: Right, very nice. I am somewhere in the vicinity of

734
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: electionn Ohio as we speak.

735
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: And then you're on your way to you said where

736
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: there's rumor that they could return.

737
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 3: Well, I correct, I frankly gave away where I was going.

738
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 3: I have heard talk that Burke Lakefront Airport Direct might

739
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: be back in the mix at some point tim for

740
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: the Indy Cars correct.

741
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: I think that's correct, and that was a wildly popular venue.

742
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: By the way, if you have time, go ahead and

743
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: stop in just outside of Mansfield, Ohio and go to

744
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: the Ohio State Reformatory, which of course is Shawshank Prison

745
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: and now is a museum for the movie. Despite the

746
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: fact that Eddie has never seen it.

747
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 5: What.

748
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 3: How is that possible? It's on like every other table

749
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: channel three times a week. How can you not just

750
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: like accidentally bump into all Shank Redemption and Rake.

751
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: Would you agree with me with no spoilers, because Eddie

752
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: and I are going to have a viewing party at

753
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: some point. Would you agree that it is a top

754
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: five movie all time?

755
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: The best I am from an Era? Or yes it is?

756
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: And I Am from an era? Where top five all time?

757
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but it's in the upper one percentile?

758
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: Yes?

759
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: How about that? Yes, I'm in an era where The

760
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 3: ultimate compliment I could give you is that that was

761
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 3: a movie that would be watched on like bus road trips,

762
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 3: and I was like part of a team or doing

763
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: radio with a team. And when that movie was on,

764
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 3: like if the bus got home early, there was almost

765
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 3: or before the movie ended, there was almost a sense

766
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: of disappointment that the movie was not going to continue

767
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: to play so you could continue to watch the movie.

768
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: Correct.

769
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 3: That's how riveting that movie was and.

770
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: Is great movie, no question. All Right, Greg, I appreciate

771
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: you helping out on the vacation here and I know

772
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: people will be looking forward to hearing from you.

773
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: You got a buddy, safe travels.

774
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: I thank you Greg Ragstraw joining us on the Java

775
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: House Peel and poor guest line. All right. As for

776
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: the colts themselves and the bye, the schedule and how

777
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,120

786
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: within formula one. Because of his involvement in Drive to

787
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,600

Speaker 1: for you know, Hoss, racing and hiring and firing drivers

789
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: and conversations that sometimes are not the most fun to have,

790
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,759

869
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: can you turn that back up again for real quick

870
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: for that fella? Okay, you know this actually sounds like

871
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: the sound I was making of the muffler of the

872
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: car and we were using the Courts quarterback Colts quarterback analogy.

873
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: Joela Ericson joins us now in the Java House, Peel

874
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: and poor guest line, and I'm sure thrilled to be

875
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: doing so. From the Indie Star, Joel, how was the

876
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: travel over to Germany and how was the Diingschweisz Techno Club.

877
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't make it to the techno club,

878
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 5: but we did have. When you go to the Diingschweis

879
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 5: Techno Club, you need to be on the listen out

880
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 5: for Scooter because Scooter played live at the game between

881
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 5: I think maybe first and second quarter, and our friend

882
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 5: Scooter is a big deal because everybody was singing.

883
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: Oh, this scooter right there.

884
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 5: Huh, there it is. That's it, that's the one.

885
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, Joel. You want to know the

886
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: difference between Berlin and Indianapolis. Yes, Scooter's a big deal

887
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: in Berlin. But when I become the mayor of Indianapolis,

888
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: all the scooters are going in the White River. I

889
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you knew that or not.

890
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 5: Right, that's fair. I'm fine with that.

891
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: And then those those pedal bar folks, not the folks themselves,

892
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: but those pedal bars also straight to the canal. I'm

893
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: just telling you what was your impression overall? We'll begin

894
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: with sauce Gardner. Your thoughts overall on the debut of

895
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner. And while you know, I don't know if

896
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: they had to simplify things, but how much how much

897
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: evolution will there be? Defensively, for the Colts now that

898
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: he's in the mix.

899
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 5: I kind of wanted them to simplify more like I

900
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 5: wanted them to just stick him on Drake London and

901
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 5: not let anybody else cover him. And then a couple

902
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 5: of times I looked up and lo and behold, Jermaine

903
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 5: Pratt was covering Jake London, and I thought, why why

904
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 5: would they do that? I know lou Anroumo likes to

905
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 5: do a lot of different stuff, but I would take

906
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 5: the ones where the linebacker covers the a team's best

907
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 5: receiver out of the slot, out of the playbook and

908
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 5: just put Gardner on them. I think with Gardner there

909
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 5: was some I think that there was clearly some some

910
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 5: like newness, rust or however you want to put it.

911
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 5: He obviously he slipped on that key two point conversion.

912
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 5: At the same time, there were a handful of players.

913
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 5: I was like, Oh, that's why they got him, including

914
00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 5: including the drops pick six, because they they kind of

915
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 5: left him over there by himself. They were bringing pressure,

916
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 5: the uh they're going to bring a blitz and they

917
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 5: had three receivers to his side, and they kind of

918
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 5: just let it be him over there, which I thought

919
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 5: for sure, like I remember saying in the press box,

920
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 5: this is going to go badly and then it turned

921
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 5: into a pass breakup. So that kind of that was

922
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 5: that was maybe the player. I was like, that's why

923
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 5: they got him right there.

924
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: You know, Scooter is one of the Muppets. Did you

925
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 1: ever watch the Muppets?

926
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 5: Joe, Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah, Scooter.

927
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: Do you know which one Scooter is? I think Scooter

928
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: is very under what's that.

929
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 5: He's with the glasses and the hair.

930
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: Well he does have hair. Yes, he's the stage hand.

931
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: Scooter's the guy that he's kind of the brains of

932
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know what I mean. I mean,

933
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: Kerman gets all the credit, but Scooter's the guy behind

934
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: the scenes that really is kind of setting everybody up

935
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: on the Muppet Show, and he's got everything going on, right, Yeah,

936
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: who's the Scooter of the Colts.

937
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 5: The behind the scenes everything up.

938
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: Who's the guy who's the guy that doesn't get enough credit?

939
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 5: It might be it might be Tanner Borderlini. They had

940
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 5: another screen in their screen this week where Borderlini, you know,

941
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 5: picked somebody off of Tyler Warren and he had big run.

942
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 5: He had a big run after the play. He makes

943
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 5: so many plays in terms of getting downfield and picking

944
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 5: off linebackers and giving Jonathan Taylor space to do what

945
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor does. I think maybe if you're looking at like,

946
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 5: who's the guy who's kind of really been the linchpin

947
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 5: that's made this whole thing go, I think it might

948
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 5: be Tanner Bardalini.

949
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, BORDERLINI to me the follow me here, Joel, Okay,

950
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: I listen, Brayden Smith is a free agent at the

951
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: end of the year. Correct correct. Bordolini to me symbolizes

952
00:49:54,880 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: or illustrates the lack of urgency perhaps in Braden Smith,

953
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: and follow me here. I think Braden Smith is a

954
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: wonderful player. He's been a solid guy. I mean he's

955
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: and he's you know, you've done a great job of

956
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: writing about the things that he came back from off

957
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: the field. But if you're not able to retain him,

958
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: Bordolini does illustrate Chris Ballard's ability to in the second

959
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: or third round get alignment and even alignment that maybe

960
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: is playing out a position of where they were in

961
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: college and is able to grow into the position. And

962
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 1: thus I'm not as worried about the necessity of a

963
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: Braiden Smith, because I do have faith in their ability

964
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: to find a player to put in that position and

965
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: go along somewhat seamlessly. Am I being too optimistic?

966
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 5: No? I think that's I think that's definitely fair. I

967
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 5: think the other thing that maybe people miss a little

968
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 5: bit with Braden Smith is that if Braden Smith ends

969
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 5: up playing elsewhere next year, they're not really replacing They're

970
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 5: almost certainly not replacing a right tackle. I think are

971
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,479
Speaker 5: replacing the right guard. Because to your point about guys

972
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 5: playing out of position, Mac Gonsalvez is a tackle. He's

973
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 5: playing guard this year, but he's a tackle by trade

974
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 5: or when he came into the league. So if if

975
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 5: Braden Smith leaves, you're replacing your right guard. I would

976
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 5: say of the five positions, that's probably the one you

977
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 5: feel the most good about needing to find and have

978
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 5: somebody plug him play there. So yes, I agree with you.

979
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 5: I think, uh, you know, with Braden Smith, obviously, you know,

980
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 5: maybe maybe Smith decides, you know, I'm more comfortable here.

981
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 5: This is this is the team that supported me. Uh,

982
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 5: and he's he's willing to give more of a deal

983
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 5: than he should. But if he doesn't, I do think

984
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 5: you're set up nicely, because I think most people are

985
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 5: kind of looking at it as like, well Ken Jalen

986
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 5: Travis play. I don't think that's the real question. I

987
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 5: think the real question is who's the right who's the

988
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 5: right guard? Because I think Macnzalveez is your right tackle.

989
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again they very very possible that the replacements

990
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: are on staff right, are already on the roster. I mean,

991
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. There your level Jola ericson Indie

992
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: Stour our guest Java House Peeling pro guest line, your

993
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: level of concern about some of the ghosts of Christmas

994
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: past and Daniel Jones starting to rear their ugly head

995
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: in terms of the turnovers.

996
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, the fumbles, the fumbles. The one that they lost

997
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 5: was was really the the egregious one, and it did

998
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 5: make me kind of sit up and go, you know,

999
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 5: wait a minute, this is this is the Daniel Jones

1000
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 5: that we're not supposed to be seeing. You know. It's

1001
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 5: it can still be an effective passing game. We saw

1002
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 5: that at times with the touchdown pass, the fears and

1003
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 5: some of the players to Warren in the last couple

1004
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 5: of drives. But if he's not protecting the football and

1005
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 5: you have to overcome those mistakes, those sex consistently. You're

1006
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 5: you're not the same offense that we uh that was,

1007
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 5: that's averaging three point two points possession points per possession

1008
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 5: or whatever it is, and and you're you're going to

1009
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 5: have to figure some stuff out down there down the stretch.

1010
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 5: So I think as they go into the by, that's

1011
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 5: that's probably got to be the number one question for

1012
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 5: Shane stike In is what what's gone on the last

1013
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 5: two weeks that we've got to get rid of and

1014
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 5: get Jones back to being who he was the first

1015
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 5: eight weeks, because right now he looks not not like

1016
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 5: I still like. I still don't think he looks like

1017
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 5: the Giants version, but those those turnovers are closer to it,

1018
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 5: and the Sacks are closer to the Giants version than

1019
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 5: the Colts would be comfortable with.

1020
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: Joel, I've got a Muppets question that I'm going to

1021
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: judge you on your answer. Okay, okay, i' and if

1022
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: I've asked you this one before, humor me, because I've

1023
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: asked this to several people. It's kind of a character question.

1024
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: You can learn a lot about a person. Uh So

1025
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: you are familiar with the Muppets, right, obviously you've seen

1026
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: the Muppet Show, you've seen the Muppet movie, et cetera. Correct, Yes, yes, yes,

1027
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: if something were to and by no means, by no

1028
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: means are we asked for this or hoping for this

1029
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: to happen. Strictly work with me hypothetically speaking, and if

1030
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: kids are in the car, they need to know this

1031
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: is all hypothetical. If something, we can agree that Kermit

1032
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: is the president of the Muppets. Correct, he's the lead ruppet,

1033
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: He's the guy, right, Yes, Okay, if something were to

1034
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: happen to Kermit, Okay, who then takes over the mantle?

1035
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: Who is the next end line? Who is the era

1036
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 1: parent as the president of the Muppets.

1037
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a great question.

1038
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: I personally believe there to be irrefutably a slam dunk

1039
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: number one answer.

1040
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 5: It can't be Fazzy. He's not serious enough. Can't be

1041
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 5: gone though, because that's not what he does, is it, Scooter?

1042
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: It's Fozzy?

1043
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:58,479
Speaker 3: Really?

1044
00:54:58,560 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 5: You think Fozzy can handle that?

1045
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: It's not about listen, I mean, are we really going

1046
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: with like you know, I mean, do we think that?

1047
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: Are we just assuming that? You know, Gerald Ford was

1048
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: ready for the role here, right.

1049
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 4: I.

1050
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: Mean what I'm getting at you wa wuck luck? Yeah. Sure,

1051
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: I mean he's kind of a stooge and he's got that,

1052
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: but the hat is cool and he wears the tie

1053
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: and he's goofy, but he's the guy. Like when when

1054
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 1: Kermit sets off to go to La to pursue his dream,

1055
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: it is Fozzy that it takes him there, and the

1056
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,439
Speaker 1: student Baker that belongs to his uncle, and that's that's

1057
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: his right hand man. Like, whether you like it or not,

1058
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: that is his right hand man, right, I mean we

1059
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: had you know, dan Quail was was a vice president.

1060
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I mean, Fozzy can be

1061
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: that guy, you know, I mean Kamala Harris, you can

1062
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: get There are a million people that you can say, like,

1063
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 1: we're you know whatever, Right, I mean, Fazzy's the guy, right.

1064
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 5: Fazi could Fazi could play a good Bob cratch It

1065
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 5: now I think about it. He could do Bob Cratchit

1066
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 5: for us. You know, you're right, You're right, he can

1067
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 5: play the car. I might be underestimating.

1068
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: Now some people say Gonzo, and I don't think you

1069
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: can say Gonzo because he's got multiple affairs going on.

1070
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: With chickens, like, you know what I mean, there's a

1071
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: lot going on with Gonzo.

1072
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the headlines on Gonzo, if he takes over the mother.

1073
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: The press would kill him. They'd kill him, is what

1074
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: they'd do. Joel, quite frankly, Joel a Ericson is our guest, Joe.

1084
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 5: treatment get get a little bit started on the next game,

1085
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 5: and mostly do they work on the previous game. And

1086
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 5: then they're off Tuesday. Then they practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

1087
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 5: they walk through on Saturday, and then they play a

1088
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 5: game during the bye week. Seame Psiken just says, go

1089
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 5: and leave and get some rest and come back ready

1090
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 5: for the second half. Is my understanding is that they

1091
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 5: aren't really doing much of anything, you know, there might

1092
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 5: be some players who have rehab.

1093
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: There might be some.

1094
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 5: Players, like I know, soft Gardner said that what he

1095
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 5: has to do is he has to get his clothing here,

1096
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 5: because he said ninety nine percent of his stuff was

1097
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 5: in New Jersey still, so he had to get that

1098
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 5: done and probably learn the defense and stuff like that.

1099
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 5: But for the most part, this bye week is going

1100
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 5: is a chance for the Colts to just do something else, rest, relax,

1101
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 5: get better for the second half.

1102
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: By the way, so I don't know, I can't speak

1103
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: for soft Gardner. There are those places where you don't

1104
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: necessarily need clothing. It's optional. For example, the din Sweiz, right,

1105
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know that or not. Joel,

1106
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: you could have you could have found that out in

1107
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: Berlin if you'd gone out and just hit yourself to

1108
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: the Dineschwiz Club. Right.

1109
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 5: I didn't. I was trying to. I tried to walk

1110
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 5: all of Berlin in like one day, and by the

1111
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 5: time we got to dinner, I was like, I was like, Okay,

1112
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 5: that's that's good, but I need to The dinner's great,

1113
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 5: but I need to go home and and get some

1114
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 5: sleep because I think it was like thirty two thousand

1115
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 5: steps or something like. You know what, on the day off.

1116
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: This is my understanding. If you try to walk Berlin

1117
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: too much, you can walk really far, but eventually you

1118
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: get stopped. You know why. I just I mean, you

1119
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: just hit a wall. Thanks, thank you. I appreciate that

1120
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: grant that joke hasn't been as in vogue since nineteen

1121
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: eighty nine, but nonetheless hilarity for those of us that

1122
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: are old enough to remember.

1123
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 5: Well, it's still it's still all kind of all over

1124
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 5: the city. I think we realized, like the second or

1125
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 5: third day with the guys who were there from the Beat,

1126
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 5: were like, you know, have you been to the Berlin Wall?

1127
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 5: And we all we all had, and we all realized

1128
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 5: that we've been to three different sections that are still up.

1129
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: In all honesty, Joel, kidding aside, because it is fascinating,

1130
00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, and I can remember when the Berlin Wall

1131
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: came down and you could buy like pieces of the wall,

1132
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: the aspects or the portions of it that are still standing.

1133
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 1: You know, how big an areas or how big of

1134
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: areas or how big of a wall are we talking?

1135
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 5: It's it's it's not very long, like probably like the

1136
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 5: one that I went to the Berlin Wall Memorial. It

1137
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 5: was about a block or so of wall, you know,

1138
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 5: a city block or maybe two of wall, and then

1139
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 5: there were a lot of the I guess metal piping

1140
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 5: that the concrete set on is still up in that

1141
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 5: part of it. I think the one down by Stephen

1142
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,439
Speaker 5: Holder's Hotel might have been longer, but it's not. It's

1143
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 5: not like a super huge piece of the wall. And

1144
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 5: then the other thing that they have is like in

1145
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 5: some of those spots, if you look across the road,

1146
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 5: there's like a a marker or or you know, a

1147
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 5: piece of the road that shows you where the wall

1148
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 5: used to be in the uh in the road too,

1149
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 5: so you got that. But for the most part it's

1150
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 5: it's kind of like smaller section and.

1151
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: It has been you know, thirty six years now, Joel. So,

1152
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: but I'm curious, is there any way, shape or form

1153
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: architecturally speaking, that you can tell the difference between East

1154
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Berlin and West Berlin. I couldn't.

1155
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 5: I couldn't because there at one point Chris Woodlock looked

1156
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 5: at me and said, we are in East Berlin right now,

1157
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 5: and we were in West Berlin earlier, and I had

1158
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 5: not processed that even a little bit, so yeah, I

1159
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 5: couldn't tell.

1160
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's fascinating though, because it was just such a

1161
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, I remember when when Uve Block played for

1162
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Indiana and they would introduce them in the pregames and

1163
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: they would say, you know, from Munich, West Germany because

1164
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that was still you know, it was still a thing, right,

1165
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the west and the east side of it.

1166
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: Joel Erickson is our guest on the Java House Peel

1167
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: and Port guest line Colts on the bye week getting

1168
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: set now for Kansas City once they come back from that, Joel,

1169
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: the reality is the schedule does toughen up for them,

1170
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: but they have a pretty strong hold on the division

1171
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: itself and will have obviously ample opportunity to you know,

1172
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: put that away because they have both Tennessee or excuse me,

1173
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: both Jacksonville and Houston twice coming back from it. But

1174
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: what area aside from the Daniel Jones area. If you

1175
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: are Shane Steichen, what is the thing during the bye

1176
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: week that is keeping you awake that you feel is

1177
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: the one thing that can be in Achilles for this team?

1178
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 5: Oh the pass rush, especially with Buckner out with you know,

1179
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 5: they get they had three secs I think on Sunday,

1180
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 5: and all three of them were by guys who don't

1181
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: typically rush the passer. They had to call blitzes on

1182
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 5: all of them. It was buying him, it was Cross,

1183
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 5: it was it was Franklin without Buckner. I just you

1184
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 5: don't have a guy right now that you can rely

1185
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 5: on to get pressure or draw attention or do whatever

1186
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 5: he has to do. Lassu leads the tea even sex

1187
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 5: he's got five. We've seen flashes. The Rams game was

1188
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 5: really good, the Steelers game was really good. But in

1189
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 5: terms of him being a game in, game out, game wrecker,

1190
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 5: you just have we just haven't seen that from him yet.

1191
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 5: So especially with some of these quarterbacks that are coming

1192
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 5: up and passing games that are coming up on the schedule,

1193
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest thing that makes me nervous

1194
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 5: is we've got these corners. I would expect to see

1195
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 5: Mooney Ward back soon, because we saw him before we

1196
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 5: left for Berlin on the practice field working out with trainers.

1197
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 5: So I would guess that he's probably going to be

1198
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 5: back not too long if he might be back for

1199
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 5: the Chiefs game, and if not, then not too long

1200
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 5: after that. So you feel good about the corners but

1201
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 5: you know, if they can't rush the passer against some

1202
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 5: of these guys coming up, you could find yourself in

1203
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 5: a lot of these games where it's a shootout and

1204
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 5: you're going back and forth, and then it magnifies everything.

1205
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 5: If your defense is playing better on Sunday, then yes,

1206
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 5: you still feel worried about Daniel Jones, but you had

1207
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 5: five hundred nineteen yards to total offense, and you scored

1208
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 5: points and you probably win, you know, twenty four to

1209
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 5: seventeen or something like that. They just they got to

1210
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 5: have more of a pass rush. I all think on

1211
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 5: Sunday that they kind of got away with some stuff

1212
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 5: because Michael Pennick's some bouts of inaccuracy that just don't

1213
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 5: make any sense.

1214
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 2: Joel Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN today released

1215
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 2: their way too early Top twenty five free agents at

1216
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six class. You and Jake have already

1217
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 2: kind of talked about Alex Pearce, and I was reading

1218
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 2: into this a little bit, and Jeremy Fowler reporting that

1219
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 2: the threshold that people that he's talked to is twenty

1220
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: million per year doesn't seem out of the question for him,

1221
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 2: and I read that, and I'm like, that still seems

1222
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 2: like a bargain considering the fact of what Alex Pierce

1223
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 2: has displayed at no longer just being the guy that

1224
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 2: you just chucked the ball, you know, thirty forty yards

1225
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 2: downfield to.

1226
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's gonna cost more than that. I

1227
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 5: don't think that.

1228
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I saw that.

1229
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 5: I saw the same thing you saw, and saw that

1230
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 5: twenty million figure. Thought, are we sure that that's the

1231
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 5: you know where he should be talking about?

1232
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 4: That?

1233
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 5: It's a possible ceiling for him because salaries have risen

1234
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 5: all over the place.

1235
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 6: And.

1236
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 5: There's still an outside chance that he ends up with

1237
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 5: a thousand yards this year. I just think that the

1238
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 5: way people pay receivers in free agency, I think he's

1239
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 5: gonna cost quite a bit. And I also think the

1240
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 5: Colts need to resign him. I just do. He just

1241
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: gives you something that is so valuable in this league

1242
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 5: where I mean, how many receivers in the league. There's

1243
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 5: a lot of receivers in this league that you know

1244
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 5: are going deep, But how many receivers in this league

1245
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 5: not only do you know are going deep and everybody

1246
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 5: in the stadiums are getting deep, but they still do

1247
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 5: it for a catch like once a game. It's so valuable.

1248
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 5: And then, like you said, he's doing the other stuff

1249
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 5: on top of it and being becoming more of a

1250
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 5: complete receiver for this team. I think they kind of

1251
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 5: have to resign him, and I think it's going to

1252
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 5: cost more than people realize.

1253
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, he has become their most versatile receiver. Would

1254
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: you agree with that?

1255
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 5: Oh? Totally, yep. He's the guy like what's the it

1256
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 5: used to be that you go, well, you know, he

1257
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 5: doesn't run the drag route, he doesn't run some of

1258
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,919
Speaker 5: the shorter stuff, but they're doing that stuff within this year.

1259
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 5: And his downfield speed is something. His downfield speed is

1260
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 5: just something that that that Michael Pittman and Josh Downs

1261
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 5: can't replicate. They just they just aren't the same type

1262
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 5: of deep threat. But I really think nobody is. I

1263
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 5: don't think there's very many people in the league that

1264
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 5: are as consistent a deep threat as he is.

1265
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Hey, Jake, and what world does Miss Piggy not take

1266
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: the over the Muppets If Kermit has gone, she's in more.

1267
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 5: You can't Also, Also, if you put Miss Piggy in

1268
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 5: charge of the Muppets, she's like she's a tyrant. The

1269
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 5: Muppets implode because she's like she can't he can't handle herself.

1270
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 5: She'll lose it.

1271
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 4: Wow.

1272
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's a I don't know, I mean that's

1273
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: probably true. Yeah, but you know, she's the like you

1274
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: have to have an immediate succession plan, and she's going

1275
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: to be in heavy mourning if if something happens, and

1276
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: let's be real, if something happens to Kermit, we don't

1277
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: know for certain, Miss Piggy's not involved, right, you know

1278
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: what I.

1279
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 5: Mean, that's that's fair.

1280
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're we're not We're not certain

1281
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: on this, right.

1282
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 5: Mis Piggy has been known to fly off the handle.

1283
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 5: It's just like it's that's a very consistent piece of

1284
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 5: the character is that she she tends to fly off

1285
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 5: the handle.

1286
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,000

1334
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: you've got a match yesterday. Who was it yesterday that

1335
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: did the unbelievable turkey call?

1336
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 2: Is that James?

1337
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I think it was James. Yes, James was unbelievable, and

1338
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: he gave me permission to reuse that from time to

1339
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: time if need be. But if you would like to go,

1340
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: you've got to call in. You've got to do your

1341
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: turkey call and we will get you on your way.

1342
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:01,960

1343
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: teeth and the electric Mayhem. Now this is a jam right,

1344
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:12,759
Speaker 1: here's what this is, Eddie. Like, I know in Germany

1345
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 1: they like the Dying Schweis, but but I think this

1346
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: might actually be superior to it. Gotta love the Muppets.

1347
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: We have an entry to give away. You said we

1348
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: have one, right, Eddie, Yes, we have a pair. So

1349
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: it'd be you and somebody else that.

1350
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 2: You comet child friend, gotcha significant other.

1351
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: Now, yesterday we did this and it was your idea

1352
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: to have someone call in and do their best turkey impersonation, right.

1353
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, their best turkey, their best turkey.

1354
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Gobble Now James was the winner that did exactly that. Correct,

1355
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: that second one there is, James. That's all you've got

1356
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: to do if you want to get into the drumstick

1357
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,440
Speaker 1: dash two three nine ten seventy right now call her number, what, Eddie.

1358
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: Well, we have one spot to give away. If we

1359
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 2: get multiple callers, we're gonna have to have a gobble off.

1360
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Three people on the gobble off you

1361
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: think of two three nine ten seventy, Is that it?

1362
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: Three people get into an argument over turkeys? Three people

1363
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: given there, and then we've got a vote between the

1364
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: two of us. What if we tie, what if we both?

1365
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: What if I think one and you think the other?

1366
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 2: That's a great a great point vote, Jake. We can't

1367
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 2: do it if we don't have people call in.

1368
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 1: I know two three, nine, ten seventy is a telephone

1369
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: number meantime we can talk about and we're doing this

1370
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: so that we don't have to talk about last night

1371
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: the Pacers performance in Salt Lake taking on the Jazz

1372
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: and that is one of them, Eddie, that look, I

1373
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: get it. You know, they were going with those uniforms,

1374
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: which are cool. They went kind of with the wet

1375
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: retro look, which was cool, but that was a retro

1376
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: putrid Pacer performance for certain And yes, TJ Mcconaughell's back

1377
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:03,799
Speaker 1: had twelve and there were things to be optimistic about,

1378
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: but it is difficult to assess exactly who and what

1379
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: they are just based on it feels like and I

1380
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: get it, I mean it does feel to an extent

1381
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: like from a fan base standpoint, a media standpoint there,

1382
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that people have thrown in

1383
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,759
Speaker 1: the towel on the Pacers, but you are saying to yourself, well,

1384
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, wake me up when everybody's here, wake me

1385
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: up before you go go type thing. And yet you

1386
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: still want to see effort. And I don't know if

1387
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: they were, if it's just that they're worn down, if

1388
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: they are themselves frustrated because they're like, man, what are

1389
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: we doing here? But that was that was not a

1390
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 1: good performance. Yes they're getting significant minutes, say for a

1391
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: Jaris Walker, but yet he was inconsistent. I thought last night,

1392
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just there wasn't anything. Really you take

1393
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: away from that and go, hey, let's talk about this.

1394
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean where they are now. And I know that

1395
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 1: they are still only you know, twelve percent of the

1396
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: way through the season, but you start looking at draft

1397
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: pick and wondering where you go from here. But again,

1398
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: we knew this year was going to be tough anyway.

1399
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought it was going to be

1400
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: this bad. In terms of the injury. I'd love to

1401
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: see they need to get Johnny furfeedback out on the

1402
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: floor because I want to see him. He's another one

1403
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 1: that I want to see minutes they can get right.

1404
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: So Jacob. Executive producer Todd Meyer has texted this that

1405
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 2: he could be the tiebreaker if we tie. Okay, but

1406
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 2: James also called in and said that he would text

1407
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,799
Speaker 2: you in the event of a tie.

1408
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Nothing against Todd, but I do kind

1409
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: of like having James as clearly the reigning champion also

1410
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: being able to vote in here. Okay, so we're doing

1411
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: the gobble off, as you call it. We will begin

1412

1483
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Keith stayed strong throughout. Fonda did a nice job too,

1484
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: but Fonda knew Fonda had a clearer spot on the barometer.

1485
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Keith had to come in cold. Keith had to come

1486
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: in cold and just go with it. You said you're

1487

01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 5: Yes.

1489
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: Todd has texted me he is going with Keith. I

1490
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: have not yet heard from James, but I will tell

1491
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: you this. I'll be the Simon call of the group. Keith,

1492
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,800
Speaker 1: you got three yes's. Keith has gone through. He's got

1493
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 1: the golden ticket. Keith will get the entry into the

1494
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Drumstick Dash. Solid, solid, and he went he went back

1495
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: to back right, he did, yeah, yeah, okay, Keith, you're

1496
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: on your way. We will look for you at the

1497
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: Drumstick Dash.

1498
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, Justin and Fonde for playing along.

1499
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: Justin and FONDI yes, thanks for being good sports about it.

1500
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 1: We'll come back. It is going to be an early

1501
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 1: edition of the Crossover. But jamb is here and I'm

1502
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: going to be on my way to the airport. But

1503
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: we do have the pacers to discuss. We'll get Eddie's

1504
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. We'll do it on the other side.

1505
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Do you know what school Eddie Garrison is known for

1506
01:17:54,040 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: this particular song. I don't actually, this is the song

1507
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: in football that has played at the University of Michigan

1508
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: at their home games. And I did not know that

1509
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: until I went, oh, gosh it. When was Michigan in

1510
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: the Big Ten title game and they played Iowa? I believe, well,

1511
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: it might have been the year they won the national title.

1512
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: But I went downtown to one of the bars. My

1513
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: buddy Mike Byron's birthday was that particular Saturday night, and

1514
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 1: we went out and it.

1515
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 2: Was why do he remembered his id?

1516
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:28,919
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. All the Michigan fans were downtown

1517
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: and somebody put that song on and they went crazy,

1518
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what in the world, And then they

1519
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: told me that's what they play at Michigan Stadium. I

1520
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: think other teams now have kind of picked up on that.

1521
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 1: It is a great song Pacers last night in action,

1522
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: it was not a great tune that they played in

1523
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: Salt Lake. You heard Eddie's reaction right there, Eddie Garrison

1524
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: when you look at that particular again and I think

1525
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: John said the best JMB. He's going to be joining

1526
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: us here in just a minute. It's not about the

1527
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 1: names or you know, the players that are out there

1528
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: you just want some sort of effort, and it looked

1529
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: like last night, especially after the first half of that game.

1530
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: It got away from a little bit late late second quarter,

1531
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: but you're overall assessment, obviously you're working it for the

1532
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: radio network.

1533
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 4: Like last night, it was like.

1534
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, they get out ahead early, they start

1535
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 2: the game on a ten to zero run, and then

1536
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 2: next thing you know, Utah brings it down to two

1537
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,799
Speaker 2: Pacers extended back out to the tam You're like, Okay,

1538
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,759
Speaker 2: Andrew nimhar is hitting shots, they're moving the ball around,

1539
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 2: they're defending well, and it was just all downhill from there.

1540
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,799
Speaker 2: And you could kind of tell, especially in that first half,

1541
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 2: that Rick Carlisle was looking for something, looking for answers,

1542
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,960
Speaker 2: looking for effort, looking for people that were just gonna

1543
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 2: put their body on the line and defend. Because twelve

1544
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 2: different players played in the first half, Like how often

1545
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 2: do you see just any NBA team go twelve deep

1546
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 2: in the first twenty four minutes of play, And that's

1547
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 2: what the Pacers did last night. Everyone that was on

1548
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,719
Speaker 2: the hardship deal played last night in the first half,

1549
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 2: and they show got the starting lineup hoping it would

1550
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 2: change something. It did, it didn't result in a win.

1551
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,799
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, you had Tony Bradley

1552
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 2: making his first start of the year. Jeremiah Robinson Earl,

1553
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 2: who's on one of those hardship deals, got to start.

1554
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Jerris Walker was moved to the bench. It just was

1555
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,799
Speaker 2: not a good effort last night from the Pacers, especially defensively.

1556
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 2: And I will give credit to to Utah because there

1557
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 2: were some shots you're like, oh, like, come on, like

1558
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 2: you're defending it well, and they were just they was

1559
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 2: just through night last night.

1560
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 1: And how did you assess TJ. McConnell, because you know,

1561
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: obviously his first work of the year, and you know

1562
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Robinson Earl's coming off of that that that deal is

1563
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: about to expire, and I thought he's played okay for them,

1564
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: But I think you.

1565
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 2: Just signed another ten day either yesterday or two days ago,

1566
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 2: so he's got probably another week with the Pacers. Of course,

1567
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 2: that is contingent I think on you know where the

1568
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 2: bodies are at in terms of moving forward on how

1569
01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:53,839
Speaker 2: soon they can get you know, Johnny Furfey or Benedict

1570
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 2: Matheren back, And it seems likely that Matherin is sooner

1571
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 2: than later, just because of the fact he's going through

1572
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 2: pregame workouts on the floor now, kind of on the

1573
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 2: same track of Angel Nimright. I think nim Hard was

1574
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 2: doing that for a week or so before he made

1575
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 2: his return. So I wouldn't expect Mathering back in the

1576
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: in the West Coast road Trip finale tomorrow night, but

1577
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 2: I think it is encouraging that he is back. As

1578
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 2: for McConnell, I thought he looked like TJ. McConnell got

1579
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 2: to his spots, got to that patented mid range jumper

1580
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 2: right up the free throw line and nobody can guard.

1581
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 2: Did his little thing where he drove the baseline and

1582
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 2: then kind of pivots around as a fadeaway jump shot

1583
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 2: got to the basket. I thought he did a really

1584
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 2: good job of being aggressive and looked like himself. He

1585
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 2: played eleven minutes only in the first half, and you

1586
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: know they're going to take it solely with him being

1587
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 2: over thirty years old, in it being a soft tissue

1588
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:40,799
Speaker 2: injury like a hamstring.

1589
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, he just McConnell has And I remember talking

1590
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:48,879
Speaker 1: about this a lot during the finals. To your point,

1591
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: the ability to go down and kind of work the

1592
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: baseline and then curl back in and get into the lane,

1593
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: hit a jumper there, and just the facilitate for them

1594
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: has been so important. But and yes, to see him

1595
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 1: be able to do that, But at the same time,

1596
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: the personnel is obviously different. I would think he is

1597
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: a guy that takes a little getting used to it.

1598
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: You know, if you're somebody that's not used to playing

1599
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 1: with him, because you don't necessarily always anticipate when and

1600
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: where he is going to get the ball. You know

1601
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. And that's what makes him

1602
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: so unique. And obviously a niece Smith or a nim

1603
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Hard or a Siakam is used to that. Some of

1604
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: the other faces are not the guy that, to me, Eddie,

1605
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: I really want to see. I mentioned it going into

1606
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: the break. I think I will tell you this. About

1607
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: a year ago, I was at an event and I

1608
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: ran into somebody within the Pacers brass and we were

1609
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: talking and unsolicited, it was brought up to me of hey,

1610
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,799
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The coaches really love Johnny Furfey

1611
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: And that was the name that was thrown to me,

1612
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: and I mentioned, I think they really like Johnny Furfee's.

1613
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: This sounds weird, but his quick hands in his ability

1614
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 1: to quickly release the basketball on his shot. And I

1615
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 1: think that they look at a guy like Furfee as

1616
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: somebody that from a length standpoint is a little deceptive

1617
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: in his defense, and he's still very young, but they

1618
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 1: like his side in just his overall court presence.

1619
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 6: Now.

1620
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: He has not a lot like Jarris Walker. I think

1621
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: Johnny Furfee has at times played where it looks like

1622
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: the game is he's trying, he's moving faster than the game,

1623
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with it, and so it takes

1624
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 1: him out of like a comfort rhythm. Ye and it

1625
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: looked like he was just starting to slow that down

1626
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I know people want to get

1627
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 1: excited about the dunks, but in terms of playing style

1628
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: and speed, it looked like it was just finally starting

1629
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: to slow down for him. And then the injury happened

1630
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: where and I got to think, I think of the

1631
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Golden State game, was it not yeah, where he you know,

1632
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: he kind of rolled the ankle or and he goes out.

1633
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: But he is one that this year. I just think, Eddie,

1634
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,639
Speaker 1: if you were to pick three that you're really hoping

1635
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: to see get significant minutes and growth periods this year,

1636
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: it would be Furfey, it would be in no particular order.

1637
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Jaris Walker and Ben Shepherd. And Ben Sheppard we already know,

1638
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, he knows what his role is now. He

1639
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: has not shot the ball well from the outside to

1640
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: this point. How much of that is circumstanced. How much

1641
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: of that is getting the ball to the right spot

1642
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: for him? You know, I don't know, but those are

1643
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: the three guys that if you look at where they're

1644
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 1: going from here moving forward, and you get Haliburton back

1645
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: next season, and you have Siakham and you have Nie

1646
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: Smith and you have nim Hard, you still have to

1647
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 1: replace Turner. But if you can get you know, you

1648
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: got McConnell back. If you've got Walker, Furfey and Shepherd

1649
01:24:55,080 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: in steady rotation, Taylor Peter becomes say another b Shepherd

1650
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: in terms of Shepherd's rookie year where he has that

1651
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: kind of a role, those kinds of a minute, those

1652
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of minutes, and then you added a top draft pick.

1653
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: You have the pieces there for two years from now

1654
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: to be right back where you were. It's just the

1655
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 1: matter of waiting on that and the frustration of knowing

1656
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: that it was right there for you.

1657
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 2: I go back to it wasn't the Golden State game

1658
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 2: he got urd That was the game he returned for.

1659
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Played twenty three minutes. In that game, I had five points,

1660
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 2: three rebounds, two steals.

1661
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: It was the.

1662
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 2: Miles Turner return game against Milwaukee that he initially got

1663
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 2: injured on like what appeared to look like a chest injury,

1664
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: and then he eventually later turned that left ankle.

1665
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: But after that game, Yes, after.

1666
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 2: That Golden State game, I remember they were talking to

1667
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 2: Quinton Jackson and Pascal Siakam after the game, and Johnny

1668
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:51,920
Speaker 2: might have been the one. Tony East might have been

1669
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 2: the one that asked him in this question about about

1670
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 2: Johnny Furfy and Pascal's like, dude, that guy's a different cat,

1671
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 2: Like you don't want to mess with for like first's

1672
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 2: gonna be really good, and like you can tell that

1673
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 2: the bench is rallying behind him every time he's in

1674
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 2: the game. You know, they they support him and they're

1675
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 2: cheering him on and everything like that. These guys love

1676
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 2: Johnny Furphy.

1677
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: It is, you know, and you just don't know because

1678
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, I mean, I know

1679
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: he was at Kansas for a year. As a matter

1680
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: of fact, the one time that I talked to him.

1681
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: I felt like a total moron because it was in

1682
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 1: the Winner and I said, man, so you're Australian, Like,

1683
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: is this the coldest temperature you've ever felt? And he's like, well, dude,

1684
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: I was in Kansas for a year and you almost

1685
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 1: forget it right. It's like, oh, that's right. I mean

1686
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: he played at a big time program, was on the floor

1687
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: and you you, you know, you get intrigued by what

1688
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: it is that he can do. But he's one guy

1689
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: that I do want to see. Get out there. It

1690
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 1: is an hour early. It is much appreciated. It is

1691

1780
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 4: the station, any station, no matter radio TV, could get

1781
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 4: off the rails, tomorrow would probably be the moment in

1782
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 4: which that could happen. Because I cannot wait to get

1796
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 4: I go way back with the Upstairs Pub. I go

1797
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 4: back further than anybody really. When it was connected to Hooligans,

1798
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 4: and I mentioned yesterday, you had a trough and I

1799
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 4: always bypassed the trough because I had stage fried. I

1800
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:52,679
Speaker 4: always went to these single urinal. They had a single urine.

1801
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was unified or just men's

1802
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 4: or just women's. It didn't matter because I couldn't do

1803
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,360
Speaker 4: any thing at the trough. But they had a trough.

1804
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 4: It was between Hooligans and the Upstairs Pub back in

1805
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 4: the day, and the most popular dude in the bar

1806
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,360
Speaker 4: was former IU quarterback Trent Green. It was glorious, tah,

1807
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 4: it was really glorious days. So I can't wait to

1808
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:20,520
Speaker 4: relive that and more coming up tomorrow with you guys

1809
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 4: at the Upstairs Pub in Bloomington, so in and around

1810
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 4: Monroe County. We would certainly love to see you if

1811
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 4: you have time to want to make the track down,

1812
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 4: I would love to see you as well tomorrow at

1813
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 4: the upstairs pub. I I cannot just pass off what

1814
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 4: we witnessed last night. If you stayed up late to

1815
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 4: watch the pages in Salt Lake City as hey, you

1816
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:44,480
Speaker 4: know what they were without dudes, because last night was embarrassing.

1817
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 4: Last night can't happen. You can't give up one five

1818
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 4: to two to a crapwater team like that. That was

1819
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,800
Speaker 4: a three win team at home and you gagged up

1820
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 4: one fifty two. And I realize all that is going

1821
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 4: on here, and I'm willing to accept and understand what's

1822
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 4: happening with this team again until further note is health wise.

1823
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 4: But I am not at all willing to accept and

1824
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 4: just give that a pardon. That was embarrassing. I don't

1825
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 4: care who you had on the floor. I don't care

1826
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 4: what personnel was available. That last night was embarrassing. Joining

1827
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 4: us now to discuss that on Quarrying Company. He writes

1828
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,719
Speaker 4: for a variety, and he should be writing for even

1829
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 4: more because the dude is top notch. Tony East is

1830
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:35,080
Speaker 4: on the Anymore Automotive Group hootline. I can't give that

1831
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:37,600
Speaker 4: a pardon last night, Tony, no matter the circumstances, I

1832
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 4: just can't.

1833
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 6: I'd actually take it a step further than something you

1834
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 6: just said. You said you can't give up one fifty

1835
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 6: two to a three win Jazz, if you can't give

1836
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:46,680
Speaker 6: up fifty to anybody man.

1837
01:33:46,840 --> 01:33:51,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. I Rick Carlisle. I'm

1838
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,639
Speaker 4: assuming read them the Riot Act at some point because

1839
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:55,520
Speaker 4: that was embarrassing.

1840
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean, and you know what's funny is

1841
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 6: like all I mean even with you, why we've talked

1842
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:03,720
Speaker 6: about how they can't score off season, right, They've either

1843
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 6: missed a bunch of shots or they played Golden State

1844
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 6: and they have twenty whatever turnovers. It's like some function

1845
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 6: of their offense has been off every night. Last night

1846
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 6: was their best offensive game of the season. Yeah, they

1847
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 6: actually made forty seven percent of their shots, they only

1848
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 6: had eight turnovers. Like that's what I've been waiting for

1849
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 6: as a game to show, like, look, these guys are

1850
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 6: better than what they've shown on offense. They can score points.

1851
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 6: They did it. TJ McConnell's back. He's flipping shots that

1852
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,160
Speaker 6: like only he takes in the league. Today should have

1853
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 6: been a day talking about how their health has them. Okay,

1854
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 6: potentially they can start winning some games and they got blasted.

1855
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:38,000
Speaker 6: It wasn't even close because they never I don't know

1856
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:39,880
Speaker 6: how late you stayed up. I presume you watched most.

1857
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:41,639
Speaker 4: Of what was up until like two in the morning,

1858
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 4: so I think I watched everything, including Magnum p I.

1859
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just like even in the fourth corps.

1860
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 6: They so they keep the starters in the start the

1861
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 6: fourth to both I would say, one, try to make

1862
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 6: a push but also send a bit of a message,

1863
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:57,680
Speaker 6: and like that group was scoring really well, they got

1864
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,719
Speaker 6: it down to seventeen, but that they couldn't not stop

1865
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 6: the jazz at all. And like Matt Markin and you

1866
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 6: get it everybody else, it's like, you can't stop these guys.

1867
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,120
Speaker 6: They're wide open threes every playing and get to the

1868
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 6: rim half the time. It was terrible defense. And that's

1869
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 6: why the second time all season I had felt like

1870
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 6: after a game that their defense was the problem, the

1871
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 6: Atlanta game at home being the other one. They can't

1872
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 6: have that when their offense has been this badle season.

1873
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 6: It was a terrible time. I think for the vibes

1874
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:24,040
Speaker 6: of that team to have a lot of like that.

1875
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 4: Well, because we have preached to people, hey listen, this

1876
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,600
Speaker 4: is not a similar at all product to what you

1877
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,479
Speaker 4: witnessed a year ago and what you were so enthralled

1878
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 4: and excited about. This is not at all close. But

1879
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 4: these dudes are still going to play hard. I thought

1880
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:43,400
Speaker 4: last night was a half assed product at best defensively.

1881
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you, yeah, I agree with you. And you're

1882
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:48,200
Speaker 6: if you're even think about if you're on the team,

1883
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 6: like you know, you're better than how you've played, but

1884
01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 6: you know why because you've been so hurt and they're

1885
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,679
Speaker 6: still hurt. Like they didn't have Matherin, they're net furpey,

1886
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 6: they didn't have Quintin Abson tie, they're still missing lots

1887
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 6: of guys, but like that that group available should have

1888
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 6: been able to be competitive with Utah. Right, and they

1889
01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 6: were up what ten to nothing and then twenty to ten,

1890
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 6: and for half of the first quarter was like there

1891
01:36:08,680 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 6: it is the Pacers that we all thought we might

1892
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 6: see for you know, several games this season. And then

1893
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 6: from literally that point on they got beat by thirty four. Right,

1894
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 6: they just got they got smacked. And I don't really

1895
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 6: get what happened, like as a shift that would have

1896
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 6: made them defense so poorly because they shifted their starting lineup,

1897
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 6: and to be clear, I think they probably should be

1898
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 6: trying to get Jaris more reps. But Robinson Earl, who's

1899
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 6: been on a team for ten days, has been more

1900
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 6: consistent than him. Tony Bradley's been their most consistent center.

1901
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 6: Like they were clearly starting a group they thought and

1902
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 6: the group, by the way they started one their minutes

1903
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 6: by three, Like they clearly thought that group would give

1904
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 6: them the most balanced and consistency, and it made them

1905
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 6: score better. But their defense just not. I don't even

1906
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 6: think because the lineup change, I just think it stunk.

1907
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 6: Their defense just completely fell apart in every way.

1908
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 4: Tony East joins us on Cuirying Company ninety three to

1909
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 4: five and one oh seven five the fan, I would

1910
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 4: it acknowledge this as well. We're constantly evaluating guys that

1911
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,680
Speaker 4: under circumstances of health, we would not be evaluated. So

1912
01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 4: this moment, early in the season, where we are in

1913
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,799
Speaker 4: the month of November, how do you look at guys

1914
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 4: from what we've seen so far? When are you're talking

1915
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 4: about the trio trying to make up now for Miles

1916
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 4: Turner or Ben Shephard or Jeff Walker. Where are you

1917
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 4: with guys like that? If we're making a snap evaluation

1918
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:26,560
Speaker 4: in the month of November.

1919
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's actually something that I haven't I mean, there

1920
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 6: hasn't really been a reason to talk about it because

1921
01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:33,599
Speaker 6: it's so early in the season. You're talking about wins

1922
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 6: and losses. But like a very frustrating thing to me

1923
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 6: if I am on the Pacers staff about this start

1924
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 6: to the season, is not only have you not won

1925
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:43,880
Speaker 6: hardly at all, like the guys you would hope to

1926
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 6: evaluate either have also not been available or have been

1927
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,760
Speaker 6: playing out of position in a way that it's like

1928
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 6: what does this even matter? Right, Like they haven't had

1929
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:55,799
Speaker 6: for v hardly at all. They haven't had Cam Jones

1930
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,719
Speaker 6: a single time. Memhard, who they hope they could evaluate

1931
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 6: at point guard for more, has played now three and

1932
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,560
Speaker 6: a half games, right, Ben Matherens played one and a

1933
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 6: half games, Like all this stuff that you'd really want

1934
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,280
Speaker 6: to learn about. Also you haven't been able to learn

1935
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 6: about because of how their season has gone and what

1936
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 6: their injuries have been, which is a big bummer. Now

1937
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 6: the last couple of games there's been more sample of

1938
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 6: Nowhard at the one I would say like maybe the

1939
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 6: only positive from this road trip where they've been blown

1940
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 6: out three times. Is like that he's scoring man and

1941
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 6: ward to get into his spots and putting the ball

1942
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 6: in the basket. And last night finally stuck some threes,

1943
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 6: which has been evading him all season. That's been nice. Like,

1944
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 6: I know they want to learn more about what he

1945
01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:36,320
Speaker 6: can do in that role at what volume. But you know,

1946
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 6: Jeris Walker and Ben Shephard are the only two young

1947
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,519
Speaker 6: guys who have played all ten games, and as Ed Jackson,

1948
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 6: I suppose, and Chef's had to play point guard, like

1949
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 6: he's done okay getting to the basket this year, but

1950
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,600
Speaker 6: he can't make anything. Like what are they learning from that?

1951
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 6: Is that actually something that matters to them? Jeriff Walker,

1952
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 6: no man.

1953
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 4: Like has been the lowest percentage three point shooter in

1954
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:58,560
Speaker 4: the NBA so far. Did I see that accurately?

1955
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 6: It's crazy because he's like every playoffs he makes forty

1956
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 6: percent of his three or thirty eight or whatever. And

1957
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 6: you're like, Yeah, this guy can clearly shoot when it

1958
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 6: matters and he's confident, and then he goes through these

1959
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:10,360
Speaker 6: stretches in the regular season and you're like, what is happening?

1960
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 6: Like he can't make any of them right now? And

1961
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 6: he's getting to the rims so much more that you're like, Okay,

1962
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 6: maybe that's a good thing, but who cares if you

1963
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,639
Speaker 6: can't make any shots. Jaris was awesome when he began

1964
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 6: to start games like a week and a half ago,

1965
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:25,720
Speaker 6: and now has had probably his two worst games of

1966
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:27,599
Speaker 6: the season back to back where he can't make anything.

1967
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 6: His defense looks flimsy, he's throwing the ball everywhere, and

1968
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:32,680
Speaker 6: he's not even playing that much out of position. He's

1969
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,400
Speaker 6: probably asked to be a lead creator a little more

1970
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,600
Speaker 6: than he should be, but it's just been weird. The

1971
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:38,800
Speaker 6: center stuff like that was a big storyline coming into

1972
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 6: the season. Amazingly, that's been their healthiest position Isaiad Jackson's

1973
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 6: had some awesome moments and some I'm like nah ones.

1974
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 6: Jay Huff has not been with They probably hoped he'd

1975
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 6: be Tony Bradley, though that guy is rock solid every

1976
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 6: second he's on the floor. So it's just a lot

1977
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 6: of like one unanswered questions of guys they hope they'd

1978
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 6: get answers to, and two some of the answers aren't

1979
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,600
Speaker 6: even relevant. Like great, it's great that been separate and

1980
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 6: drive a little more, but like who cares he probably

1981
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 6: would do that much when the Pacers are healthy, right,

1982
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 6: I do.

1983
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 4: All feel me. I feel no, no, no, I feel

1984
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 4: the same way as you do about this, because I

1985
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 4: was not going back and forth in a nice way

1986
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 4: with some good friends on social media a little bit

1987
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 4: earlier about the Pacers defensively, and many would suggest that

1988
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 4: their defense is better, and the other ratings would show that,

1989
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:24,640
Speaker 4: but I would also tell you that the fact remains

1990
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 4: that without a legitimate threat, and I don't care if

1991
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 4: his blocks were down a year ago and he wasn't

1992
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,920
Speaker 4: the same, and I am certainly not on the former

1993
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 4: thirty three now number three bendwagon in any sort of way,

1994
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 4: but his overall threat on both ends is incredibly missing.

1995
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 4: And even with the work that Tony Bradley has done,

1996
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 4: even with the defense percentage wise looking better, there is

1997
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 4: zero fear for anybody to drive and then to lay

1998
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 4: it up off the glass. And I would also remind

1999
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 4: people that one of the reasons why the defense could

2000
01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 4: be better that nobody wants to hear is the fact

2001
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:02,639
Speaker 4: that argue their worst defensive player is out for the season.

2002
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 6: That is I think true in part.

2003
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 4: Well, I hate I hate to bring it up that way,

2004
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 4: but that is the facts.

2005
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:11,679
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2006
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 6: Well, I mean so Haliburn obviously has a massive plus

2007
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 6: impact on their offense, but I think him and Turner

2008
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 6: being gone I think was a bigger hit to their

2009
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 6: off I predicted before the season. I might have said

2010
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 6: it with you, I'd said it on my podcast a

2011
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:25,679
Speaker 6: million times, but I thought they'd be better on defense

2012
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 6: than offense this year, but not like this, not like

2013
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 6: or they're like average on defense and just totally awful

2014
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 6: on offense. And last night it's like, how did this

2015
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 6: team even get to six teams on defense? Like they

2016
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 6: couldn't stop the jazz for a lake and they And

2017
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 6: the thing that made it weird last night too is

2018
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:44,679
Speaker 6: like with McCall back, basically their whole rotation was guys

2019
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 6: that I'm like, yeah, that's a fine defensive player. Like

2020
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:48,600
Speaker 6: did they play anyone who I think is terrible or

2021
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,759
Speaker 6: bad on defense? Not really walkerom maybe being the worst

2022
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:55,960
Speaker 6: of them this season. So it's just really strange that

2023
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 6: that that's the case. But I think you are right

2024
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 6: that the way that they have struggled with drives from

2025
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,280
Speaker 6: other teams, like the Atlantic game that I mentioned earlier,

2026
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:06,719
Speaker 6: that was the first game, I felt like their defense

2027
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 6: costs them. I mean, Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson just

2028
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,320
Speaker 6: walked to the rim all night like easiest shots ever.

2029
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 6: The Jazz were getting to the cup all night last night.

2030
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,240
Speaker 6: Their finishing was just okay, but they kicked it out

2031
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 6: for a million easy threes. You that's the kind of

2032
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 6: stuff that just kills you, right, And so they've got

2033
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 6: to figure that part out in some way, because if

2034
01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 6: they're all been going to be at this level, they've

2035
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 6: got a guard and they haven't really been able to

2036
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 6: do that, and so I think their defense is probably

2037
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 6: much lower now after a list not I haven't actually

2038
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,639
Speaker 6: looked at the advanced dets today. I'll check while we're talking,

2039
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 6: but it's just been shocking to see that kind of fall.

2040
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,680
Speaker 6: And to answer my own question, they answered last night

2041
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 6: seventeenth in defensive rating. They are now twenty third. They

2042
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,799
Speaker 6: lost six spots in one game, show.

2043
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 4: Man, that's absolutely brutal. What the info you need? Tony

2044
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 4: East is on the Java House Guess Line. This is

2045
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 4: Query and Company ninety three to five and one oh

2046
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 4: seven side the Fan JMVN for Jay Querry until my

2047
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:01,919
Speaker 4: show starts coming up here at three o'clock.

2048
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:04,760
Speaker 6: So when you start the DMV shows, just like Jake

2049
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:06,479
Speaker 6: fill in for an hour. I know, he's fine.

2050
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, yeah, I'm a four hours out of

2051
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 4: our tour. It's like old school days for me. I'm

2052
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 4: going full four hours now. So yeah, it's all good.

2053
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,760
Speaker 4: So yeah, I luckily I have enough left in the

2054
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 4: tank to be able to do that right here. I

2055
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 4: will say this, offensively, a lot of what we have

2056
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 4: witnessed I expect, and certainly with the decreasing availability of

2057
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 4: normal personnel, it stands the reason if you watch them,

2058
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 4: the one thing in the category of cohesion offensively that

2059
01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 4: is missing with Tyreese Halliburton. I mean everything with Halliburton,

2060
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 4: no matter what really portion of the season was all

2061
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 4: everybody knew where they were going, the ball was going

2062
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,840
Speaker 4: to be here and there, and it's not stuff you

2063
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 4: had to think about. These guys have to stop and

2064
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:55,799
Speaker 4: think for like a click, and that just completely jacks

2065
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 4: up everything. Offensively. That's the one thing that stands out

2066
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 4: when you have to stop and think in the offense

2067
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:04,160
Speaker 4: that they try to play at the pace in which

2068
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:06,679
Speaker 4: they try to play, that food bars everything.

2069
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 6: That's why I think that their groups with you know,

2070
01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 6: most of their starters from last year on the floor,

2071
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 6: Like when they can get Siaki Smith and them hard

2072
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 6: out there together with basically anyone else, they look the

2073
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 6: best because that group, even without tie, can play that way,

2074
01:44:23,040 --> 01:44:24,639
Speaker 6: like they don't think they know how to do it.

2075
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:27,240
Speaker 6: They're all sharp, they all move the ball. And it's

2076
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:30,719
Speaker 6: interesting because I think you've just kind of nailed half

2077
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,800
Speaker 6: of my three about why this team has really struggled

2078
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:35,679
Speaker 6: with offense this season. Like if you look at every

2079
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 6: underlying set about this Pacers team this year, right, their drives,

2080
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 6: their passes, like a million things all say that they

2081
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,240
Speaker 6: should be about the same level of team as they

2082
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 6: were last year. Right, they're passing just as much, their

2083
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 6: drives are just as many. They just can't score at all,

2084
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 6: like at all. And I think one of the difference

2085
01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 6: is obviously that they haven't made shots at like a lick. Right,

2086
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 6: nothing is going in the worst effective field goal percentage

2087
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 6: in the league. But the other part of it is, sure,

2088
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 6: they're doing all those things they were doing last year,

2089
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 6: but they're just doing it worse and slower. Right, They're

2090
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:10,559
Speaker 6: not They're they're thinking for a beat, It's not as

2091
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 6: accurate as a pass, it's not at the same time,

2092
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 6: and all that just slowly over possession adds up to

2093
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,559
Speaker 6: like a shot that last year was super open, this

2094
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 6: year is like kind of open. Or a shot that

2095
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,600
Speaker 6: was right at the basket last year is like a

2096
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,960
Speaker 6: five foot or this year like shots that can go

2097
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 6: in and the pacers would tell you should be going in,

2098
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 6: but they're not. They're just not. And so some of

2099
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:31,600
Speaker 6: it to that. Some of it how much time it

2100
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 6: I'll take. Some of it is who is available. Some

2101
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 6: of it's that everybody's moved up or down or sideways

2102
01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 6: in the pecking order, whatever you want to say. But

2103
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 6: I like Jared's last night was thinking a lot, right

2104
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:42,840
Speaker 6: Ben Shephard, Sometimes he never thinks that dude used to

2105
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:44,880
Speaker 6: just get up the ball. Even he's thinking a little

2106
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 6: bit like they have a lot of guys just taking

2107
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 6: a beat, and their guy who doesn't take a beat, Siakam.

2108
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 6: He gets it. He turns around, he tries to make

2109
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 6: his move and there's four defenders within six feet at

2110
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 6: them immediately. It's just really hard to function when that's

2111
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 6: your team and that's your situation.

2112
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 4: Is and he just reacts. He's better, but that's not

2113
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 4: nearly enough. He has to stop and think, he thinks

2114
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 4: about a move to make, he thinks about where he's

2115
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 4: going to get in his comfort zone. And see, that's

2116
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,639
Speaker 4: the difference to me, Tony, because that's all taken care

2117
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 4: of with with Tyreese Haliburton out there. I mean, he

2118
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 4: knows you you're going to be in your comfort area.

2119
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:23,040
Speaker 4: He's going to get you the ball. And here these

2120
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 4: guys are trying to make this up on the fly

2121
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 4: on their own, and a guy like Jaris Walker is

2122
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:27,439
Speaker 4: not built for that.

2123
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,879
Speaker 6: So I think you just kind of nailed the Jariffs experience.

2124
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 6: Because Kylen Cooper praised us really well, you can like

2125
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,599
Speaker 6: Jarif's so far this season. I'd say his best moments

2126
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 6: offensively has been when he's right in the middle of

2127
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 6: a zone. Right like other teams in zone, they put

2128
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 6: Jaris in the middle. So when he catches, his job

2129
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 6: is to play make or shoot, and he's already kind

2130
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 6: of open just because of the way the defense is.

2131
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,160
Speaker 6: And so what that tells you is the same thing

2132
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 6: we've kind of seen from him even against Manda Man

2133
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:55,120
Speaker 6: it's all cleer is that when someone else, not Jaris Walker,

2134
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 6: creates an advantage of point guards yaka whatever, and they

2135
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 6: pass it to Jari's He's very good at taking space

2136
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 6: in front of him or shooting quickly and keeping the

2137
01:47:03,040 --> 01:47:05,640
Speaker 6: advantage alive. Right, that's a good skill to have, and

2138
01:47:05,680 --> 01:47:07,760
Speaker 6: he's a decent patcher for somebody of his size. But

2139
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,519
Speaker 6: when he is the guy who has to actually create

2140
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 6: that advantage himself by beating someone off the dribbler or

2141
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 6: creating a little space for a jumper or whatever, he

2142
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:16,799
Speaker 6: is not as good at that. And I think recently,

2143
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 6: especially how many point guards they've had out, they've tried

2144
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:21,639
Speaker 6: at times to be like, okay, trial by fire, Jaris

2145
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 6: create something for us, and some of those possessions don't

2146
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 6: look particularly good, and that's fine, that's how development works.

2147
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 6: But it looks like he was really really rough on

2148
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:32,639
Speaker 6: Sunday against Golden State, right like probably his worst game

2149
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:35,120
Speaker 6: in years. And then they move him to the bench

2150
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 6: where he's playing with McConnell, and they used Siakam in

2151
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 6: that second unit stin every game. It's like, okay, there's

2152
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 6: two creators around him. Maybe that'll help him a little zippier.

2153
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 6: And he was still thinking a bunch last night, and

2154
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 6: so he drew a bunch of fouls and got to

2155
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 6: the line. I don't think he was as bad as

2156
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:50,839
Speaker 6: the stats really say, but he still kind of struggled

2157
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:52,719
Speaker 6: because I think he was thinking after a bad game.

2158
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 6: I don't know how you just get him to relax.

2159
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 6: I honestly think that's the best way to put it,

2160
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 6: because if he just like plays on instinct, he's much

2161
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 6: better better. But he's kind of been pigeonholed into a

2162
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 6: role that's kind of above what he should be, and unfortunately,

2163
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 6: from a development perspective, like, yeah, it's good that he's

2164
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,519
Speaker 6: doing it, but it hasn't looked very good yet at all.

2165
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 4: So Tony East, he's on the Java house guess a

2166
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 4: line ninety three five one oh seven by the fan,

2167
01:48:14,400 --> 01:48:16,599
Speaker 4: you get any timetable at all, and you feel from

2168
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,840
Speaker 4: when we may see a re emergence of Benanick Mathery.

2169
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 6: Great, Well, we'll find out actually in a couple of

2170
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 6: days a little bit on what is possible with him.

2171
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 6: I think he's progressing pretty well, at least that's the

2172
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 6: sense I've gotten, which is good. Their hardship situation will

2173
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 6: tell us, all right, if they're able to sign Cody

2174
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 6: Martin again or another player on Saturday, I bet leaves

2175
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 6: the day his deal expires. That means Matheren's probably out

2176
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,400
Speaker 6: for a couple more weeks. If they are not suing

2177
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:44,840
Speaker 6: him or anybody to another heartshe deal, that that means

2178
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 6: they are only which is hilarious to say, only down

2179
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 6: to four injured players, and that would be Matheren is

2180
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,679
Speaker 6: probably closer to a return. He was weak to week

2181
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,920
Speaker 6: as of two weeks ago. Last week, when we asked,

2182
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 6: Carlisle said he was progressing well and doing better than

2183
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 6: he was a week ago, which is an up date

2184
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:01,799
Speaker 6: but not an update. At the same time, I believe

2185
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 6: the next week of the week two week update would

2186
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,920
Speaker 6: be today. Actually I don't think they're going to practice today,

2187
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 6: who knows, So perhaps tomorrow we learn a little bit

2188
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 6: more because that would be a day of asking again,

2189
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 6: and so we'll see in Phoenix if we learn more.

2190
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:17,400
Speaker 6: But my suspicion, and this is just that a suspicion,

2191
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,599
Speaker 6: is that it's possible that he could return, not super

2192
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,640
Speaker 6: far off. But I don't truly know that or know

2193
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 6: the timeline perfectly to know.

2194
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,719
Speaker 4: Do you see a timetable or a moment this season?

2195
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,719
Speaker 4: If things continue to go in the fashion in which

2196
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:32,599
Speaker 4: certainly if they go in this fashion, but if they

2197
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 4: continue to go down this path, that they decide to

2198
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 4: go ahead and try to prepare a little bit more

2199
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,479
Speaker 4: for next year and maybe some deals that they can

2200
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 4: feel benefit them, you know, not so much in the now,

2201
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:43,840
Speaker 4: but certainly further down the road.

2202
01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've talked a couple times about this. So one,

2203
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 6: they're about to start like a softer stretch of schedule, right,

2204
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:53,640
Speaker 6: Their first ten games are tough, and then they have

2205
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 6: to Dewtap Phoenix two games to end this West road trip.

2206
01:49:56,880 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 6: Seven of their fifteen West Road games are already done

2207
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 6: after tomorrow, which is crazy. It fell played twelve games

2208
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:07,320
Speaker 6: at the end of November, right, their schedule is not

2209
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 6: as hard for the rest of the month. Like, if

2210
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Speaker 6: they can't find some footing throughout November, that will be

2211
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 6: one sign. But honestly, like, it's kind of nice the

2212
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:17,280
Speaker 6: way the NBA has set this all up. Think back

2213
01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:19,280
Speaker 6: to last year jamb when did they turn it around.

2214
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 6: They had that gap of time where they could practice

2215
01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:24,040
Speaker 6: during the n season tournament break. Remember that.

2216
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last bad game was I remember this December

2217
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:31,000
Speaker 4: the ninth, at home on a Sunday against Charlotte, and

2218
01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 4: it was an absolute disaster, kind of like I ripped

2219
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:36,880
Speaker 4: the ass like I am right now, yes, yes, And.

2220
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 6: Then you know, they got a little healthy at that

2221
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 6: time too, obviously, which is fitting because they've been so

2222
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 6: hurt this season. But they came into that break and

2223
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 6: they played Philly and they played New Orleans and they

2224
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:46,719
Speaker 6: destroyed both of them, and then all of a sudden,

2225
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:48,639
Speaker 6: they were like the fourth best team in the NBA

2226
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 6: or something by a record the rest of the season.

2227
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 6: And not saying they should expect that level turnaround about

2228
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:56,720
Speaker 6: Halburn this year, but that break is a good assessment time, right,

2229
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 6: So let's see what their record is then. I think

2230
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,439
Speaker 6: they played it through the ninth again for their last

2231
01:51:01,439 --> 01:51:04,280
Speaker 6: game before that. If their record's super awful, then and

2232
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 6: like the fitting thing with the NBA calendar now is

2233
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 6: the end season tournament ends. It's December fifteenth, right then,

2234
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 6: and that's when a lot of players signed in the

2235
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,160
Speaker 6: offseason can get traded. If you'll remember last year, that's

2236
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 6: the day they traded for Thomas Bryant was the first

2237
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 6: day they legally could. So it just kind of works

2238
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 6: out that you can really assess your team when you

2239
01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 6: have all this time off and you can see like

2240
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:26,559
Speaker 6: what is materializing for your team. So that's a good

2241
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 6: time to start assessing the facers. And truly, if they

2242
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 6: if it's like last year, they start to get healthy,

2243
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 6: then maybe see how they play the rest of December.

2244
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,200
Speaker 6: I'm not saying they're gonna like turn it around to

2245
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 6: the point that we're talking about them making the playoffs

2246
01:51:37,080 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 6: or anything, like. Their records already so bad that that

2247
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 6: might not ever be on the table this year. But

2248
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 6: at least they can see, like, was the proof of

2249
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 6: concept of this team actually possible, and then they can

2250
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 6: figure out what moves they had to make. But I'll

2251
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 6: tell you now, I'm gonna be telling you this for months.

2252
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:53,599
Speaker 6: There's gonna be a lot of talk about trades and

2253
01:51:53,640 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 6: selling and whatever. If their records this bad, they should

2254
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 6: not consider themselves sellers. They should consider themselves in a

2255
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 6: position to get the talent around a Tyrese halivert following yes,

2256
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,240
Speaker 6: which is which is? Which is gonna feel really weird

2257
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 6: if their record is still bad that they might even

2258
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 6: be buyers.

2259
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:09,400
Speaker 5: Right.

2260
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:11,120
Speaker 6: If they can get a good young player, they should

2261
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 6: do it. But that's what they had to think about

2262
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 6: they're just in such a unique position given their record

2263
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 6: and situations, like they were half a game from the

2264
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:19,439
Speaker 6: final the last year, why would they get rid of

2265
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 6: any player who was critical to that operation. So it's

2266
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,799
Speaker 6: just gonna be a really weird year of assessing their.

2267
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 4: Team that is, And a lot of that is pointing

2268
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 4: the finger at Pascal Siakam because people look at his age,

2269
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 4: they go, well, you know what, he needed it, but yes,

2270
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 4: he was an essential reason as to why, yes.

2271
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 3: He was there.

2272
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 6: Awesome, Yeah, he's the top twenty to twenty five care

2273
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:40,479
Speaker 6: in the league and everyone's so you're gonna hear a

2274
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,200
Speaker 6: lot of like, oh, they should trade him. They stayed

2275
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 6: like why how are they going to get a player

2276
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 6: as good as Siakam if they trade away Siakam? Like it,

2277
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 6: you know, And it's like, I hate to say this,

2278
01:52:49,439 --> 01:52:51,120
Speaker 6: but if you're a good player on the Pacers this

2279
01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 6: year who was central their function last year, this year

2280
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 6: probably sucks, right, Like, you thought you'd be better, You're

2281
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 6: a good player, you expected to win more. Siakam chief

2282
01:52:58,439 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 6: among it like it's gonna suck, It's gonna hurt. But

2283
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:03,360
Speaker 6: at least they know or should know that next year

2284
01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:07,560
Speaker 6: will instantly be better, and so that brings more happiness

2285
01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,000
Speaker 6: to the situation in Sunshine, but it will make their

2286
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 6: trade situation just very kind of weird to talk about.

2287
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 6: It'll be way different than usual bad teams.

2288
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 4: So here's how we really know we live in the

2289
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:21,080
Speaker 4: bizarre world with the paces right now, is they unveil

2290
01:53:21,160 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 4: those awesome ass new uniforms last night and give up

2291
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 4: fifty two and get embarrassed in the fashion of which

2292
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 4: they did. Why couldn't you do that alongside that ridiculous

2293
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:34,639
Speaker 4: yes sir slogan and then it would all make sense.

2294
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 4: You could have sucked with it, got rid, And now

2295
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:39,639
Speaker 4: they're probably going to get rid of these uniforms because

2296
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 4: that taste in the mouth is one they're not. But

2297
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:44,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, The bizarre world means we

2298
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:48,280
Speaker 4: should embrace those uniforms and not yes, sirs. But in

2299
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 4: this sense we embrace yes sirs and not to these uniforms.

2300
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 4: It just doesn't make sense to me.

2301
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:53,920
Speaker 5: I know.

2302
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:56,720
Speaker 6: I still think of like certain alternate uniforms with like

2303
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,680
Speaker 6: moments in time, like the red Hickory jerseys with the

2304
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 6: end Paul George and the Victor Oladipo injury season with

2305
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 6: that jersey that year. Like, it's just how it is

2306
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:08,400
Speaker 6: for me. I wonder if fans are the same way,

2307
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 6: And I wonder how these jerseys, which are awesome, this

2308
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 6: branding and the court looks really good too, is awesome,

2309
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,519
Speaker 6: but if the team doesn't win very much, like how

2310
01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:19,799
Speaker 6: our fans is going to remember the Matrix Moments jersey

2311
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:20,960
Speaker 6: because they are awesome.

2312
01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 4: I love the Decades remix, but evidently we're more like

2313
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty five or something like that, when the

2314
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 4: black curtain comes down at Old Marcus Square Arena. That's

2315
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 4: kind of where we are located right now. Hey, really quick,

2316
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 4: before I had a break here with you, one final thing?

2317
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 4: Do you believe and believe? I'm done with him? And

2318
01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 4: I don't really care, but people were asking me, I think,

2319
01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 4: just a threat alone offensively and defensively. They miss Miles

2320
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,720
Speaker 4: because even with Tony Bradley playing well, you don't have

2321
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:52,480
Speaker 4: that threat there at all. Nobody really pays attention. Do

2322
01:54:52,520 --> 01:54:53,880
Speaker 4: they miss him?

2323
01:54:54,080 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2324
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 6: I mean certainly so. For the first of all, I

2325
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 6: gotta give myself a hand of JAMV because I actually

2326
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,120
Speaker 6: thought a a lot of the stuff he was saying

2327
01:55:01,560 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 6: in the off season was being a little misconstrued. I

2328
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 6: thought at the time. I was like, yeah, this is all.

2329
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,120
Speaker 6: This all seems very just like he likes the Bucks,

2330
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 6: and people are taking it as shots at Theeters. But

2331
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,280
Speaker 6: then they played the game and he did the the

2332
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 6: oh they I took discounts, No you didn't. And then

2333
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 6: he posted that Formula one car all crumpled up and

2334
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 6: he said the yellow court thing, and I'm like, okay,

2335
01:55:20,840 --> 01:55:23,960
Speaker 6: never mind, Like I was just wrong. Apparently this actually

2336
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 6: was just all straight up shots at the Pacers, which is.

2337
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:30,240
Speaker 4: Well, he doesn't like Prichard and Buchanan, he didn't like

2338
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 4: the front and all along. If you would have said, man,

2339
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 4: the front office holds me, I'm mad at them. But

2340
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 4: I mean it made it seem like that it was

2341
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:38,920
Speaker 4: a player thing and nobody around here was going to

2342
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 4: accept that at all.

2343
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I got to put my hand up on

2344
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:44,760
Speaker 6: that obviously. But yes, they miss him, Like I talked

2345
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:46,920
Speaker 6: to you about this, I forget the first time we talked.

2346
01:55:46,920 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 1: This season.

2347
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 6: We talked many times, which is great, but you know,

2348
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 6: like just beyond the shooting, which is obviously something they're missing,

2349
01:55:52,760 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 6: and Jay Huff has just got to make the reason

2350
01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:57,640
Speaker 6: at some point, like Miles was so good at moving

2351
01:55:57,680 --> 01:55:59,840
Speaker 6: the ball side to side quickly. He made a quick

2352
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 6: decision at the top of the key, and we talked

2353
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 6: about how people are thinking on this team. He got

2354
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 6: very confident in his role and he made the right

2355
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 6: decision to swing it, to go back to the guy

2356
01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 6: who passed it soon with a handoff, or to shoot.

2357
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 6: And you just don't really see that with this group

2358
01:56:12,080 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 6: that much. With Isaiah, with Tony Bradley, with Jay Huff

2359
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 6: at the top of the key, their decisions either take

2360
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 6: a second or it's not right, or it's not as

2361
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 6: it's not as quick. It's just not the same. And

2362
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:22,640
Speaker 6: that's on top of the defensive side of the ball,

2363
01:56:22,680 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 6: where obviously Turner was a very good MOVI his feed

2364
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 6: block shots guy at the baskute who had some limitations,

2365
01:56:27,760 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 6: so they definitely met him. And you know, like we

2366
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 6: all knew going into season they'd be missing two starters

2367
01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 6: from last season, it ended up being much more than that.

2368
01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 6: Without Drew and a bunch of other guys. You're seeing

2369
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 6: what they what they have lost without Miles, and they

2370
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:41,400
Speaker 6: still probably need to find their center in the future.

2371
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:43,240
Speaker 6: And the rest of them are trying out for rolls

2372
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:43,840
Speaker 6: two and three.

2373
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 4: That is Tony East of Forbes Sports and needs to

2374
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:50,480
Speaker 4: be riding for a variety of places because he is

2375
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 4: really good. We thank him for joining us Squaring Company

2385
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 4: you in here for that crap? Twelve more sucked? I

2386
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 4: sent a text to kristin Eira early early this morning.

2387
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 4: I said, that was complete, BS, and that's exactly what

2388
01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 4: it was. I don't care what personnel you have that

2389
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:30,320
Speaker 4: out there. I don't care where it is on a

2390
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 4: road trip. I don't care what is is thought you

2391
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:35,080
Speaker 4: were going to be. I don't care if you're a

2392
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 4: one win team. That was complete, BS, and I mean

2393
01:57:42,960 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 4: it was a half asso. They gave up to a

2394
01:57:47,640 --> 01:57:53,320
Speaker 4: crappy team, so that we accept all this other stuff

2395
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,080
Speaker 4: and give it a pard and give it a pass.

2396
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 4: But I'm not giving that a part nor a pass.

2397
01:57:57,120 --> 01:58:00,520
Speaker 4: That was a joke. Quick break. We'll come back with you.

Speaker 4: you're asking. Aurora Borealis came off the bench for the

2424
01:59:28,440 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 4: Jazz to score fifteen, and no, I did not see

2425
01:59:34,600 --> 01:59:38,840
Speaker 4: the Northern Lights. I was playing a little pickup basketball

2426
01:59:38,960 --> 01:59:41,960
Speaker 4: last night at Sinegrove in the West Gym, which is

2427
01:59:42,000 --> 01:59:44,800
Speaker 4: the dirtiest floor of all time. Can somebody leave maybe

2428
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 4: a mop or a broom or something over there, and

2429
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:53,600
Speaker 4: just anything, dirtiest floor of all time, classic gym, dirty floor,

2430
01:59:53,640 --> 01:59:58,080
Speaker 4: bad combination. But I did not see it. I'm glad

2431
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:01,839
Speaker 4: you guys did. Trey Kaufman Wrenn says, quote, I'm playing

2432
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:06,440
Speaker 4: at Alabama coming up tomorrow night, So if you were wondering,

2433
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:11,800
Speaker 4: Trey Kaufman wren shall return. According to Trey Kaufman Wren

2434
02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 4: tomorrow night. I didn't watch a little bit of Dusty

2435
02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:17,680
Speaker 4: May Squad in Michigan and Wake Forest last night. Anybody

2436
02:00:17,720 --> 02:00:21,280
Speaker 4: catched some of that? I did also notice from Andrew Marshawn,

2437
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 4: who is a sports and media person that's on the

2438
02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:29,760
Speaker 4: Internet and on social media, says there is potential momentum

2439
02:00:31,640 --> 02:00:35,920
Speaker 4: for a YouTube TV ESPN deal to be finalized as

2440
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:41,000
Speaker 4: the sides move closer that according to the Athletic, I

2441
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:44,240
Speaker 4: don't know how many of you have YouTube TV and

2442
02:00:44,320 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 4: still dealing with no ESPN. How about you?

2443
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:50,240
Speaker 2: I am not a YouTube TV guy either.

2444
02:00:51,040 --> 02:00:53,920
Speaker 4: See, everybody went and jacked around and cut the cord,

2445
02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:55,920
Speaker 4: and now you're going, why I even mess around with

2446
02:00:55,960 --> 02:01:02,560
Speaker 4: cutting the cord? The same type of crap, And really,

2447
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:04,200
Speaker 4: I don't know where you're gonna get out of the

2448
02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:08,000
Speaker 4: way of this, especially with these streaming services bidding and

2449
02:01:08,040 --> 02:01:15,160
Speaker 4: then being awarded leagues and games. We are all going

2450
02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 4: to be screwed at some point in time.

2451
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 2: So no more JV takeovers. John, You got two left,

2452
02:01:23,240 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 2: and that means you actually get to sleep after that.

2453
02:01:26,200 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will sleep a.

2454
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,120
Speaker 4: Little bit on Saturday night for about a month. Yeah, Yeah,

2455
02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:33,560
Speaker 4: two more Krediya. I just can't do. If I could

2456
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,160
Speaker 4: play like two Burl Live songs the entire time, I

2457
02:01:36,160 --> 02:01:39,320
Speaker 4: can do. I can't do anything else, though, But that

2458
02:01:39,480 --> 02:01:44,520
Speaker 4: is a big time month plus for b one oh

2459
02:01:44,560 --> 02:01:47,839
Speaker 4: five point seven. I you later on tonight against Milwaukee.

2460
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 4: If you missed my conversation with Tucker Divrees earlier this week.

2461
02:01:50,920 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 4: That podcast also available one oh seven five thefan dot com.

2462
02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:57,000
Speaker 4: Of course, the Colts bye week. We got into a

2463
02:01:57,040 --> 02:01:59,720
Speaker 4: lot of that yesterday. The believability of it, what it's

2464
02:01:59,720 --> 02:02:02,000
Speaker 4: going to take. And I'm talking about people around here,

2465
02:02:02,120 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 4: not necessarily nay series at the national level, but those

2466
02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 4: around here that still need a little bit more evidence

2467
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:14,080
Speaker 4: to this thing being legit. Now I'll take it. I mean,

2468
02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:17,560
Speaker 4: you're eight and two. You have positioned yourself, especially compared

2469
02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:20,280
Speaker 4: to other teams of the AFC right now, and I

2470
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:23,880
Speaker 4: know that next up is in Kansas City and the

2471
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,960
Speaker 4: Chiefs are on a roll, but they still have ground

2472
02:02:26,960 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 4: to make up and they still play in the most

2473
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:36,440
Speaker 4: competitive division in the NFL. So you look around the

2474
02:02:36,520 --> 02:02:41,720
Speaker 4: landscape of the AFC, the Bills are on the struggle bus,

2475
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 4: losing in South Florida. Now the Bills end up getting

2476
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 4: New England. No check that. I'm sorry. The Bills get

2477
02:02:49,160 --> 02:02:52,040
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay this weekend. New England's on Thursday night against

2478
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:56,800
Speaker 4: the Jets. I mean, you see within your own division,

2479
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:00,520
Speaker 4: the AFC South, the problems Jacksonville has Travis or done

2480
02:03:00,520 --> 02:03:04,080
Speaker 4: for the season, another issue there. The Texans have had

2481
02:03:04,120 --> 02:03:09,600
Speaker 4: across the board, both offensively and defensively issues four and

2482
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 4: five on the season. So to be where the Colts

2483
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:16,760
Speaker 4: are right now, I think record wise, right now enough

2484
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 4: makes it believable to me. But there are still some

2485
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 4: of the fens that want to see what happens after

2486
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 4: Kansas City and then you're going to make that particular judgment,

2487
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 4: which I kind of get, but I also tend to

2488
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:39,680
Speaker 4: believe that you're missing out. You got to soak this

2489
02:03:39,800 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 4: up right now and then see what happens against Kansas

2490
02:03:42,240 --> 02:03:44,200
Speaker 4: City and see how they handle the rest of the season.

2491
02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:45,800
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things you have to work

2492
02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:48,680
Speaker 4: on coming up in this bye week, and I'm talking

2493
02:03:48,720 --> 02:03:50,880
Speaker 4: about the coaching staff more than anything else. You have

2494
02:03:50,920 --> 02:03:54,360
Speaker 4: to figure out in the last two weeks why things

2495
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:58,480
Speaker 4: have dramatically changed. I don't expect at all this offense

2496
02:03:58,560 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 4: to click at a level in which it had prior to.

2497
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:05,080
Speaker 4: But you also don't expect, for example, to turn it

2498
02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 4: over six times and a loss where it's a one

2499
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:16,720
Speaker 4: score loss six turnovers. You don't expect the offense and

2500
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 4: especially the cohesion between the quarterback and the offensive line

2501
02:04:21,200 --> 02:04:25,120
Speaker 4: to look this disjointed in the past two games, because

2502
02:04:25,120 --> 02:04:28,000
Speaker 4: really what you saw in Pittsburgh it was different because

2503
02:04:28,040 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 4: they had two guys that can do it every single time,

2504
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 4: that are known to do it. Now in Atlanta, they

2505
02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 4: just brought a lot of people because what they saw

2506
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:41,800
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh the week prior was a quarterback that would

2507
02:04:41,800 --> 02:04:45,440
Speaker 4: give the ball up when pressured. He was no longer

2508
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:47,840
Speaker 4: in the easy chair. He was no longer to make

2509
02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:51,840
Speaker 4: those quick judgments, those quick decisions and feel comfortable in

2510
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:55,160
Speaker 4: doing it. The pressure in Pittsburgh was on now with

2511
02:04:55,280 --> 02:05:01,120
Speaker 4: Watt and Highsmith, essentially, that is a lot different. And

2512
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 4: what they did with Atlanta and Berlin was they brought

2513
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:09,240
Speaker 4: a ton of people and they got there and they

2514
02:05:09,320 --> 02:05:11,680
Speaker 4: messed at the quarterback and that really messed up the

2515
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:16,879
Speaker 4: offensive operation. And the savior was the MVP of the NFL,

2516
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:22,520
Speaker 4: and that was Jonathan Taylor. But those are things ball

2517
02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 4: security and again to regain any semblance of cohesion. I'm

2518
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:30,960
Speaker 4: not talking about trying to regain the status of playing

2519
02:05:31,040 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 4: better than any offense has ever played leading up to

2520
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:40,800
Speaker 4: that Pittsburgh game, but protecting the quarterback, and if you're

2521
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 4: the quarterback protecting the football, you know, whether that's shorter routes,

2522
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:51,040
Speaker 4: quicker decisions, whatever you have to do. These are solutions

2523
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:55,760
Speaker 4: that have to be made during this off time leading

2524
02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:57,800
Speaker 4: up to week number twelve, when they're on the road

2525
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:01,600
Speaker 4: in the toilet in Kansas City bye week. You think

2526
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 4: Jimmy still loves to hear that, doesn't he The toilet

2527
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:10,200
Speaker 4: against the toilet. Arrowhead Stadium sucks. Sucks. Yeah, I know

2528
02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:14,160
Speaker 4: it's glamorized and glorify well these great old buildings. Yeah,

2529
02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 4: it's a toilet, is what it is. Their team is

2530
02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:21,760
Speaker 4: a hell of a lot better right now, made no

2531
02:06:21,840 --> 02:06:25,240
Speaker 4: mistake about that. But their division is difficult, a lot

2532
02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:27,880
Speaker 4: of ground to make up. I will see it, the

2533
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:31,080
Speaker 4: Pacers see if they have a response after last night,

2534
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:33,240
Speaker 4: so you get embarrassed. I mean, really, you got de

2535
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:38,320
Speaker 4: pants last night because the Jazz stink and they put

2536
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:40,960
Speaker 4: one fifty two on you at home. I think the

2537
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,680
Speaker 4: Pacers coming up tomorrow night to close out this Western

2538
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:46,839
Speaker 4: Road swing in Phoenix. You think maybe you we'll see

2539
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:52,680
Speaker 4: hopefully so because I'm willing to give injuries and all

2540
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:55,680
Speaker 4: this a pass but last night is not passable for me.

2541
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:57,040
Speaker 4: Last night was a joke.

2542
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,160
Speaker 2: Because Booker put up sixty like he did at Gambridge.

2543
02:06:59,240 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 2: The one's imagine.

2544
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:06,800
Speaker 4: Marketing going crazy to I was glad last night that

2545
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 4: thirty three was no longer with this team. Can you

2546
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:13,040
Speaker 4: imagine what my social media would have looked like had

2547
02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:16,800
Speaker 4: thirty three giving up thirty five to Lauri Marketing? What

2548
02:07:16,920 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 4: is he the pride of Finland? Is he Finland or Sweden?

2549
02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:26,080
Speaker 4: I know he's uh, he's somewhat. I think he's Finland.

2550
02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 4: Is he Finish Laurien Marketing? I know he's Scannon. I

2551
02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:35,920
Speaker 4: will say Scandinavian. Okay, If I say Scandinavian, that covers it.

2552
02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:43,360
Speaker 4: Finish thirty five. Yeah, my social media would have been

2553
02:07:43,360 --> 02:07:47,120
Speaker 4: absolutely on fire last night, alas it was not. I

2554

2583
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:23,920
Speaker 4: is true. I did this maybe a month ago, and

2584
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:28,640
Speaker 4: I could do this in the nineties as well. I

2585
02:09:28,720 --> 02:09:33,160
Speaker 4: had an edited version of Ice Cubes No Vassilene, which

2586
02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:39,840
Speaker 4: it's impossible. It's like a beep every other word, uh huh,

2587
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:43,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, what the hell, I'll play it. I mean,

2597
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:15,400
Speaker 4: dot Com, Bobby Buckets more to Maker Radio Network with

2598
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 4: me coming up after three, uh Pete Futech is going

2599
02:10:18,720 --> 02:10:21,840
Speaker 4: to talk about the playoffs and IU still and the

2600
02:10:21,880 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 4: two hole in the playoffs. I love it because you

2601
02:10:25,080 --> 02:10:28,600
Speaker 4: get a Texas A and M the SEC people. The

2602
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 4: grandfathered in football programs are out raids. That's exactly how

2603
02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:37,000
Speaker 4: you want it. I you fans have to be happy

2604
02:10:37,600 --> 02:10:42,919
Speaker 4: with the infiltration cause that the grandfathered in college football

2605
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:46,040
Speaker 4: programs and their fan bases and the media that covers

2606
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 4: them or lobbying and crying about right now. Really it's

2607
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. There is something to be said in

2608
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:59,120
Speaker 4: that nature about being a party crasher. I love the

2609
02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 4: fact that I you is playing the role of the

2610
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 4: party crasher. And I know, listen, don't get me wrong,

2611
02:11:04,560 --> 02:11:07,640
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to downplay what they've accomplished and how

2612
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:09,720
Speaker 4: good they are at all, but there is something to

2613
02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:12,360
Speaker 4: be said about that. I'm just gonna show up and

2614
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,440
Speaker 4: who cares what the hell everybody else says? And then

2615
02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 4: it just it's so offensive to everybody else. You know,

2616
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:26,160
Speaker 4: all these historically high level college football programs have to

2617
02:11:26,240 --> 02:11:28,880
Speaker 4: eat it a little bit, and that's beautiful. Those that

2618
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:35,560
Speaker 4: have covered it for years, have glorified it, have suckled

2619
02:11:35,560 --> 02:11:37,920
Speaker 4: at the well. I don't want to say it that way.

2620
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:45,520
Speaker 4: It's beautiful to see them scurry. Are you Wisconsin? That's

2621
02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:47,400
Speaker 4: coming up on Saturday again. I'm gonna bloom me to

2622
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:50,080
Speaker 4: tomorrow Larcendey, bourbon locks, lunas do with tequila shots.

2623
02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna be at the.

2624
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:54,120
Speaker 4: Upstairs pop me, Bret Halverson and all of us coming

2625
02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:58,040
Speaker 4: up tomorrow. So Eddie Garrison have an interesting question. I'm

2626
02:11:58,040 --> 02:12:00,960
Speaker 4: gonna let him jump on board and ask that me

2627
02:12:01,200 --> 02:12:04,320
Speaker 4: and everybody because I'll go ahead and roll that into

2628
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:08,960
Speaker 4: the three o'clock hour on my show. Regarding potential free

2629
02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:10,440
Speaker 4: agency we're questioning was.

2630
02:12:10,520 --> 02:12:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about this earlier, John because ESPN

2631
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:16,840
Speaker 2: it was Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler. They did this

2632
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 2: piece together where they're ranking, you know, the way too

2633
02:12:19,200 --> 02:12:22,280
Speaker 2: early twenty twenty six NFL free agents and three cults

2634
02:12:22,280 --> 02:12:25,520
Speaker 2: are in the top seven, Daniel Jones, Alec Pierce, Braden

2635
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Smith being those three players, and Jeremy Fowler reporting that

2636
02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:32,640
Speaker 2: in the pure section of this that he's probably going

2637
02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:34,520
Speaker 2: to get twenty million a year and to not be

2638
02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:38,000
Speaker 2: surprised when you see that number. I read that Joel

2639
02:12:38,040 --> 02:12:41,240
Speaker 2: even agreed with me earlier that it's a bit surprising

2640
02:12:41,280 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 2: that twenty million is the number when you look at

2641
02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:46,640
Speaker 2: what he's done this season. Yeah, and how he's been

2642
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:48,960
Speaker 2: more of a complete receiver with not just being the

2643
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 2: guy that wins down the field and the guy that

2644
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:53,320
Speaker 2: you throw the ball thirty forty yards down the field too.

2645
02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:55,080
Speaker 2: He's winning over the middle of the field. Now they're

2646
02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,560
Speaker 2: using him more on drag routes. I thought he would

2647
02:12:57,560 --> 02:13:00,760
Speaker 2: command more than twenty million dollars. Question you is how

2648
02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 2: comfortable or what's the number that you would be comfortable?

2649
02:13:04,120 --> 02:13:06,520
Speaker 4: Certainly that I think that as long as you have

2650
02:13:06,600 --> 02:13:09,800
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, which essentially they will. I know some people

2651
02:13:09,800 --> 02:13:12,080
Speaker 4: have been put off by the past two weeks, but

2652
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,360
Speaker 4: you know, what other options do you think they're going

2653
02:13:14,440 --> 02:13:16,680
Speaker 4: to go with? And I think everybody right now for

2654
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:18,720
Speaker 4: the most parts of believer in Daniel Jones. Still a

2655
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:22,040
Speaker 4: lot of season to go. But Alec Peerce is essential

2656
02:13:22,080 --> 02:13:26,800
Speaker 4: personnel because he is giving. When Daniel Jones wasn't a

2657
02:13:27,040 --> 02:13:31,160
Speaker 4: downfield threat, Alec Pearce makes him a downfield threat. Sorry

2658
02:13:31,160 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 4: about that. I have no idea.

2659
02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:33,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?

2660
02:13:33,120 --> 02:13:35,680
Speaker 4: John, that's my phone scam?

2661
02:13:35,920 --> 02:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Likely Do you not know how to turn the ringer off?

2662
02:13:39,200 --> 02:13:43,760
Speaker 4: Can somebody do that? My mom called yesterday at five

2663
02:13:43,880 --> 02:13:45,800
Speaker 4: twenty five, so I don't know, go ahead and try it.

2664
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:46,400
Speaker 1: She doing all right?

2665
02:13:47,520 --> 02:13:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, she called at five twenty five were the tail

2666
02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:55,720
Speaker 4: end of the show to ask why Direct TV send her?

2667
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:58,560
Speaker 4: She wants the NBA package, but she wants it for free,

2668
02:13:59,480 --> 02:14:01,240
Speaker 4: and she thought she was getting it for free.

2669
02:14:01,560 --> 02:14:02,640
Speaker 1: Ooh, but she didn't.

2670
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:04,960
Speaker 2: Oh, now I'm getting it for free right now and

2671
02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:07,680
Speaker 2: I love it. You probably shouldn't be airing that out.

2672
02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:10,760
Speaker 4: You know what they really owe me a little bit.

2673
02:14:10,800 --> 02:14:12,920
Speaker 4: I think a little bit of freedom there. Yeah, I

2674
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:16,880
Speaker 4: would suggest anyway back to that. Yeah, I think that he,

2675
02:14:17,040 --> 02:14:21,800
Speaker 4: to me, is as essential as anybody that we're talking about.

2676
02:14:21,840 --> 02:14:24,120
Speaker 4: He's right there, like Daniel Jones will be number one,

2677
02:14:24,160 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 4: and he'll be number two, and we'll see what happens

2678
02:14:27,320 --> 02:14:30,120
Speaker 4: with with Braydon Smith, who I'm assuming is also in

2679
02:14:30,120 --> 02:14:34,680
Speaker 4: that particular category. But yeah, that's to me if you

2680
02:14:34,680 --> 02:14:39,760
Speaker 4: want to continue to do offensively, and Daniel Jones is

2681
02:14:40,160 --> 02:14:42,800
Speaker 4: going to have that changeover from what he was for

2682
02:14:42,880 --> 02:14:44,960
Speaker 4: six seasons in New York to what he has been

2683
02:14:45,040 --> 02:14:47,680
Speaker 4: so far this season. But there are certainly things to

2684
02:14:47,720 --> 02:14:50,080
Speaker 4: figure out through the last two weeks, but I think

2685
02:14:50,120 --> 02:14:53,680
Speaker 4: everybody's pretty happy with what he's accomplished so far. You

2686
02:14:53,800 --> 02:14:56,760
Speaker 4: have to have Alec Pierce, so that to me seems

2687
02:14:56,800 --> 02:15:01,000
Speaker 4: like a relatively strong number if that ends up being it.

2688
02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:02,920
Speaker 4: Hey man, Eddie, thank you very much.

2689
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:03,640
Speaker 2: It's always fun.
