1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: All right, we are back another edition here of Colts 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Corner with myself Kevin Bowen. Unfortunate Eddie Garrison cannot make 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: it here on this Wednesday morning, but definitely time to 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: check in with you from Colts training camp. Six practices 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: in seven to go, big night practice situational scrimmage coming 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: up on Thursday night. I know Shane Second's pretty giddy 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: about that practice. Really, the first true night practice. I 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: guess they're wheeling in some lights or they gotta do 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: something up there at Grand Park for the nine o'clock hours, certainly, 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: so eight to ten fireworks afterwards, and then you know, 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: after those two morning weekend practices, things will shift. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: To Baltimore for the Colts. They'll be there all. 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: Next week, just one joint practice in one preseason game, 14 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: but I won't have another practice at Grand Park until 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: the following weekend here, so kind of the midway point 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: of camp. So we'll go over the offense, go over 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: the defense. Good amount of Twitter questions as always, thank 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: you guys for sending those in. Continue to do that, 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: we will get to them, so, you know, just overall thoughts. 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we will begin with the offense and 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, the quarterback position right now, I say, is 22 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: trending towards being a little bit more of a competent 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: battle than it was. I thought to start camp. I 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: thought it was a really poor start to camp, not 25 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: only for the quarterbacks. I thought the pass catchers had 26 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: some drops and just sloppy, just bad and honestly probably 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: what we expect from the Colts passing offense this season. 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: But you know, I do think if you. 29 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: Look at it right now and again as we record 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: this Wednesday, you know, Richardson and Jones have probably put 31 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: three of the last four practice days together fairly well. 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: I didn't think Tuesday was flawless for either, particularly the end, 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: but better definitely from those guys. So you know, obviously 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: you want to see that at that position, given the 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, vital importance. And I guess individually, if we 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: start with Richardson, I'd say this quite often when we 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: talk about spring practices or camp practices, particularly once in July. 38 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, I'll throw in the caveat of you know, 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you on July thirtieth, so everything is 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: with the grain of salt, and that's probably good to remember. 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: And you know, I've kind of used the school analogy 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: on our morning show with Richardson of, Like, you know, 43 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: I have seen some incremental improvements in his game. I 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: would challenge anyone that has watched Anthony Richardson in a 45 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: training camp practice over his three years in the NFL. 46 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't recall a six practice stretch where he has 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: had this type of underneath accuracy. 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: It's not perfect. 49 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: The bar was very low when I say that thing, 50 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: but it's improved, you know, is it the wider base, 51 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: is it? You know, that footwork element helping him out? 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: You know, maybe that is something you can point to it. 53 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: It certainly looks cleaner, But I just don't see the 54 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: egregious missus, the ground balls, the you know, airmails over 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: the middle helly, you know, the hitting the roosters that 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, you know, thrown it in a way over 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: the crossbar or in individual periods like he's had those 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: misses and almost daily in years past, and you know 59 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: I watch every Richardson throw. I don't see that to 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: that level. Now, Again, this is individual periods. This is 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: against your own defense. The red jersey still on. It's 62 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: not real football, but even in non real football, he's 63 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: had issues in those areas, so I don't see the 64 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: amount of egregious misses that maybe we have. 65 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: Seen with him in the past. 66 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: You know, I would also point out, and probably should 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: have done this at the start, the fact that we're 68 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: talking six practices in and he's thrown the amount of 69 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: balls he has thrown definitely stands out to me. I 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: did not think we'd be a week into camp and 71 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: he would have this much workload in the eleven on 72 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: eleven sessions. Yes, he dials it back a little, not 73 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: that much really, but he definitely dials it back in 74 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the individual periods, which is fine. I think it's a 75 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: great plan. The Colts have to get him all the 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: team reps as possible. But you know, he's practiced six 77 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: straight days and you know the four days last week 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: that they had in a row to start camp. It's 79 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: not like his volume change there in the eleven on 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: eleven So I would say, all things considered, it's been 81 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: a good first week for Richardson when you consider where 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: he was at walking into Grand Park, the unknown of 83 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: the spring, and you know, now the arrow pointing in 84 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: a better direction. You know, everything with him has to 85 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: have context around it. You can't compare him to a 86 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: normal NFL quarterback, Yes, at some point you need to, 87 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: but you just can't given his background. So I think 88 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: it's what makes the evaluation of Richardson so difficult. But 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: you know, he said, you know, after the Tuesday practice, 90 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: I feel like I have more control of the ball. 91 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: And you know when he said that, I kind of 92 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: thought to myself, Yeah, I I I feel like that 93 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: is correct. You know, the deep ball maybe hasn't been 94 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: as abundant or as accurate as it usually is, but 95 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: he the underneath stuff pretty good. So you know he's 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: passing a lot of these tests right now. Will he 97 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: passed them against real teams? All of that stuff. But 98 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, he's changed his diet and again I definitely 99 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: notice the wider base and I get, you know, some 100 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: of his comments of probably frustrating to a degree when 101 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: he says after practice, you know, I've got to do 102 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: more and you know I can't be slacking anymore, and 103 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: you want to just be like, wait, why did it 104 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: take you three years in the NFL to. 105 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: You know, get to that point. 106 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: And that's fine, I mean I totally get why fans 107 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: would react in that manner, as they should, but This 108 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: is what happens when you take a risk like the 109 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: Colts did at the fourth overall pick, and they probably 110 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: honestly mis evaluated him a little bit off the field, 111 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: and you know how much growth was needed in that area. 112 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: So better be now or it's going to be never. 113 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: And so that's probably how you have to look at 114 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: it so far. 115 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: With Richardson. 116 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: So, you know, Daniel Jones, I think also is probably 117 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: the arrow pointing a little bit more up with him. 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, with Jones, he can be more accurate than Richardson. 119 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: Certainly he definitely can be steadier than Richardson. 120 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: I will say there are times. 121 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: I feel like he's just a tad late. Is that 122 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: in a new offense? Is that just kind of him 123 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: as a quarterback? You know, if you're a tad late 124 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: in a comfortable camp setting. I don't like what that 125 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: could mean for the regular season. But I thought, for example, 126 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: yesterday was a really strong day from Jones. You know, again, 127 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: factoring in the bar, I don't have a super high 128 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: bar for him. 129 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: You know, it is primarily a lot of dink and 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: dunk stuff with him. 131 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: You know, there have been some second level throws in 132 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: the last couple of days that I think he's hit 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: on and just in general, we probably talk so much 134 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: about Richardson we don't acknowledge Jones enough. 135 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: But you know, there are times where I see kind 136 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: of the Gardner. 137 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Minshew ish, you know, comps that makes some sense, you know, 138 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: I know from a deep ball standpoint, he definitely showed 139 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more I think in the spring in 140 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: the team sessions, and I've seen so far here. You know, 141 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm curious how that will evolve a camp moves along. 142 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: But you know, to summarize where I'm at, kind of 143 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: quarterback wise, a weekend, you know, you hear Stichen's words, 144 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: and I think he's more open to giving Daniel Jones 145 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: a chance. I hear Ballard's words, and I feel like 146 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: it's a little bit more like no, no, no, we 147 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: got to be patient with Anthony. 148 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: You know. 149 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm going to go on that. 150 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: But I I would call Richardson the slight leader in 151 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: my mind kind of a week into it, you know, 152 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: I think Jones has got to outplay him noticeably. And 153 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: weirdly both have been good on the same day or better, 154 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: or both have been bad on the same day. It's like, 155 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: we haven't had two wins of the spectrum for the 156 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks on a given day. So you know, we'll 157 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: see how this continues to play out because we are 158 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: going to get into some bigger evaluation periods. But yeah, 159 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: right now, I would give it to Richard just because 160 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, he obviously can bring quite the dynamic run element. 161 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: You know, Jones is definitely definitely has ability to make 162 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: place with his legs. There's no doubting that, but it's not, 163 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: of course, at the Richardson level there. So yeah, I 164 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: think that's everything from a quarterback standpoint. You're kind of 165 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: moving over to other items in the offense obviously, Bernard 166 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Rhyman contract excension, you know, arguably the biggest news item 167 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: so far off camp. To me, that was a no brainer. 168 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't care what your future is at GM. I 169 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: don't care what your future is at head coach. I 170 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: don't care what your future is at quarterback. Bernard Ryman 171 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: needs to be a left tackle. It's a great story. 172 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: So for me, I just thought the rhyming thing again 173 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: made you know, really total sense. 174 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: And you know, it's. 175 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: A wonderful Chris Ballard draft pick. It's finding a premium 176 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: position in the middle of round three. You just I mean, 177 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: look at the best left tackles. 178 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 2: In the league. You just don't find these guys where 179 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: Baler found him. 180 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: Obviously, the Kastanza thing I think took a little while, 181 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: a little longer then it should have, just to get 182 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of semblance at that position. Uh. But 183 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: again you got to give credit to you know, finding 184 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: a franchise piece. 185 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: Uh. With that third round pick seventy nine, I want to say, 186 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: it's kind of sticking out to me. I don't know, 187 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: maybe that's Ryman's. 188 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: Number, maybe that was popping it into my head, but 189 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, middle of round three, I think it was 190 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: back in that twenty twenty two draft. And you know, 191 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: I was curious because you know, as that Rymand thing 192 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: played out, and you know, he opped on our neon 193 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: to three show with Jay Query and you know, expressed 194 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: that his team had said they were kind of wide apart. 195 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: You know, maybe it was the Rashawn Slater domino that 196 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: need to get started for kind of value to set in. 197 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: But you know, there's a little part of me it's 198 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of curious, like you knows, Carl ersa Gordon at all. 199 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: Look at that and think, oh boy, this is the 200 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: first extension under my watch. I don't want the thought 201 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: to be, oh, we don't pay people or we don't pay. 202 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Quality left tackles. 203 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: Like you know, when Rymond said there's a disagreement on 204 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: positional value, I'm thinking onself, wait, what a minute, Chris 205 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: Ballard has paid running backs, he's paid linebackers, he's paid guards. 206 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: He's not going to pay a left tackle. 207 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: That makes no sense to me whatsoever there So I 208 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: think got ryman contract will age really well and quality 209 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: quality player and great to hear that. Braden Smith, to 210 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: quote him, is in a spectacular place. I mean, I 211 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: was struck by brain Smith. First off, his willingness to 212 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: want to speak. You know a lot of times you 213 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: can see stories like that. He obviously had to tell 214 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: all with Joeli Erickson. That's kind of the one time 215 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: and then any other time I'm gonna tk, I'm gonn 216 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: talk a little bit more football. But you know, his 217 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: willingness to speak and be so vulnerable. I commend him 218 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: for that. You know, I was really struck, really kind 219 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: of hit me when he said at some point, you know, 220 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: I was just trying to be alive and that was 221 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Oh boy, that that really struck me, you know when 222 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: he said that describing where he was at last year 223 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: and you know, on the field with Brayden. You know, 224 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: before he left the team right before Thanksgiving, he had 225 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: played every snap but won last year. 226 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: So again there's injury history, but like you know, that 227 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: to me is something. 228 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: But also he was trending to have a really healthy season, 229 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, over seven hundred snaps and he just missed one. 230 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: So you know, center continues to be a competition. I 231 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: would say so far, the O line a little better 232 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: than the D line. The first two practices. I don't 233 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: think there was a lot of like blown dead sacks 234 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: or kind of muddy pockets with the pads on. I 235 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: was talking with Joe Wright's Colts Radio yesterday at practice 236 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: and he mentioned as an offensive lineman, he always thought 237 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: it was easier to block with pads on than it 238 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: was without. So you know, I do think the old 239 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: line has been pretty solid here, even in the run game. 240 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: And again I think the run game. 241 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: Is kind of hard to truly truly evaluate, you know, 242 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: from a wide receiver standpoint, I think it's been a 243 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: very mixed bag from that group. I like what I've 244 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: seen from Alex Pearce. I like what Anthony Gould has 245 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: shown the fifth round pick from two years ago out 246 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: of Oregon State. I mean, he if you add up 247 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: the catches in eleven on eleven, I'd venture to guess 248 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: he's right up there with anybody, including Michael Pittman Jr. 249 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: In terms of catches. 250 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: And you know, it's a lot of the slot stuff, 251 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: but there's been a couple of downfield plays as well, 252 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know how the offensive snaw or the 253 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: role maybe gets there for him. But I guess if 254 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Josh Downs were to go down, I don't see it 255 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: being maybe as big of an issue like last year. 256 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: I think it was big time scramble. Note. 257 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: I think Gould has shown enough where you would at 258 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: least give him the slot opportunity to try and you know, 259 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: band aid that up. If Downs were to miss time, Yeah, 260 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to see a little bit more from Michael 261 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. I think I like to see a little 262 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: bit more from Josh Downs. Those are two guys I 263 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: usually don't say those things about. I think Down's been 264 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: better here the last couple of days. You know, the 265 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: eighty Mitchell experience is just it's just maddening. I get 266 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: why the staff is enamorate with the talent. 267 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: You know, he had a couple one on one moments against. 268 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: Saverious War the other day that you know, he just 269 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: cooked a guy that frankly hasn't been cooked at all 270 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: here during camp. And then you get to these eleven 271 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: on eleven periods and he probably was close to a 272 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: handful of drops and or fumbles so far, and there's 273 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: just such an inconsistency to him. Yet he does the 274 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: hard part, right. I mean, like at times other wide 275 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: outs struggle to get open, that is never seemingly an 276 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: issue with him. And you know, I kind of go 277 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: back to his you know, time in college and you know, okay, 278 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: why was he the tenth or the. 279 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 2: Eleventh wide out taken? 280 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Because you know, here's a guy that played five college 281 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: football playoff games and you know, I had a touchdown 282 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: and all five of them. And then you know, you 283 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: get deeper into those games and it's like, wait a minute, 284 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: he only had three catches total in those games if 285 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: you take out the touchdowns, Like, okay, why wasn't there 286 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: more production there? And you know, obviously for the Colts 287 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: you look at that and say, okay, we're going to 288 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: tap into that. You know, he's young, whatever, immature and consistent. 289 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: Everyone to describe it, but you know, with coaching development, 290 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: we're going to get there. So you just like to 291 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: see him string some eleven on eleven stuff together. 292 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: I do think the one. 293 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: On ones, even the seven on seven's a little bit 294 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: better here the last couple of days. So we'll see 295 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: about the eleven on eleven's Tyler Warren moves around a 296 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: whole lot. They move him around a ton. The catch 297 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: radius is very evident. He had a couple of fifty 298 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: to fifty moments it didn't go his way the other day. 299 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: That was pretty rare to see. Great play by Justin 300 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: Wally climbing the ladder for one and it goes awesome 301 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: to Jake he had had another wad a linebacker. 302 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: But they will move worn around a lot. 303 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Shifting gears the defense, I also think well Mallory has 304 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: had a nice camp so far Shifting gears the defense though. 305 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Traveri's ward very good, just anticipates really well. The sticky coverage. Boy, 306 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: he talks, he really talks. But I think he's got 307 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: a very clear goal of wanting to get back to 308 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: being an all pro corner and was in such a 309 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: dark place last year in San Francisco, and you know, yeah, 310 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: I think he feels like he's got something to kind 311 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: of prove to himself to get back there. And I 312 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: think those three corners are starting to emerge. And I 313 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: would have said that before the unfortunate injury to Jayalen Jones. 314 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: That's been the one notable in practice injury so far 315 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: where he went down yesterday and he was in a 316 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: world of hurt and had to get helped onto the 317 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: cart before he was carted off. They said hamstring injury 318 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: for him, So we'll see how long his absence is. 319 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: And you know, the Colts, I think we're starting to 320 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: build some real depth at corner. I mean, if you 321 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: look at Jones as your fourth and Juju Brents is 322 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: your fifth and Samuel Willmack is your sixth, I mean, 323 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: at one point last year those three were all playing 324 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: huge minutes for you. So, you know, I just think 325 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: Wally competes and competes. He had a beautiful teach tape 326 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: rap against Michael Pittman JUNR on Tuesday, you know, isolated 327 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: in man dig route giving up all that size, picture 328 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: perfect technique, you know, gets right in front of him 329 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: for the past deflection, doesn't get that right hand, you know, 330 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: tugging on the on the jersey as he tries to. 331 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: Go around him. 332 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: Just great stuff from Justin Wally. So yeah, I look 333 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: at Ward, I look at More and I look at 334 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Wally and think that those are your three corners if 335 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna go play tomorrow. And you know, we'll see 336 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: about the health of Jones. Juju Brents also makes I 337 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: don't know if I saw Ju do a practice also 338 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: missed yesterday with the hamstring injury. So again we'll see 339 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: how all of that continues to play out. So waiting 340 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: on the practice debut of Zira Franklin, it looks to 341 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: be soon. I mean, he certainly is working up a 342 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: big old' lather on that adjacent practice field, so I 343 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: don't it doesn't look. 344 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: Like something that's going to last too too much longer 345 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: with him. I do think some of the linebackers have really. 346 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: Made a nice impression in the passing game. Joe Bachi 347 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: for sure, coming on from Cincinnati. I've noticed him a 348 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: good amount camera groan this yesterday due to injury, but 349 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: you know he's been factoring into it as well. 350 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: Kind of quiet for Jailing Carlis. 351 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: He had a pass deflection late in camp yesterday, late 352 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: in that hour forty five minute practice, so that was 353 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: good to see, but probably been a little bit on 354 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: the quieter side for him. And again in D line, 355 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: I just maybe haven't noticed the activity from that rush 356 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: unit as much the first couple of days in full pads. 357 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: There's good one on one moments, but you know, again 358 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: when they get in the team sessions, haven't noticed. 359 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: As much of that. You know. 360 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: Kicker wise, we've seen them kick twice in front of us. 361 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Both of them have done a decent job. They both 362 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: missed two kicks on their first day and then they 363 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: both were perfect this week. It sounds like Thursday will 364 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: be a big kicking point for both of those guys. 365 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: I still think Spencer Schrader, Oh bless Me is the 366 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: is the favorite for that kicking battle. 367 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably kind of where I stand offense 368 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: defense wise. I updated some position battles up on our website, 369 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: so you can check that out. One of seventy five 370 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: the fan dot Com If you want to head over there, 371 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: you'll get a look exactly where things kind of stand. 372 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: As again we reached the midway point of camp. 373 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to about a half dozen Twitter 374 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: questions here, as always, thank you for sitting these in. 375 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: First one here from Cato. I was really hoping that 376 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: the revamps secondary would give law to a lot to 377 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: the extra time to become the disruptor. We hoped his 378 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: pick would warrant. How does he looked so far in camp? 379 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: What can you tell is the word that they think 380 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: he can take the next step. I mean, you know, 381 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: they're very high on him from a word standpoint. I 382 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: would say I haven't noticed a ton from him in 383 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: the eleven on eleven stuff. Again, just two days of 384 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: full pads so far. And you know, when you think 385 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: about it, the Colts do have two quality tackles that 386 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: are opposite him. I'd say Quity Pay probably definitely probably 387 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: is a definite starter opposite him. And then yeah, I 388 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: think Samson Ebukam has started to rotate a bit with 389 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: LAT two in those starting reps as he returns to 390 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: that torn Achilles. So again we'll continue to see. Obviously 391 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: you rotate a lot there. I called JT two amloau 392 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more Antai Kwon Lewis more of rotational guys. 393 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 2: They move around a little bit more. 394 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: Even the inside to Maloaut notice him a decent amount 395 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: late yesterday and practice made a couple of plays in 396 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: the passing game. So again, I think it's important to 397 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: start to get truer evaluations on those trench guys. This 398 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 1: from Jamie Braden Smith plays sixteen games and earns a 399 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl in twenty twenty five. Does he get extended, 400 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: franchised or become a free agent? 401 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: You know? 402 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: I the thing with Braidon Smith is I didn't get 403 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: the vibe from him when he met the media earlier 404 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: this week that like, this is a dude walking up 405 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: the eighteenth hole or you know, I don't know. I 406 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: don't know if you come back just to play one 407 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: year and call it quits. But then again, anytime he's 408 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: dealt with, you know, the obsessive compulsive disorder that he did, 409 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: I you know, it's probably a bit unfair to also 410 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: just be like, oh, yeah, he's gonna play for you 411 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: for the next five six years, so you maybe need 412 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: to tread lightly. They are high on the ceiling of 413 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: Jalen Travis as the backup there. But if you play 414 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: sixteen games, is you get extended franchise become free agency? 415 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the franchise tag. 416 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: Actually, I hadn't even thought about that, you know, another 417 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: year to kind of let Travis grow a little bit there. 418 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: That's not the I don't think that's the craziest idea 419 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: in the world. And again, you know he played all 420 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: those snaps but one last season. I mean that's right 421 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: before he got right right before we left the team, 422 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: and I mean we're talking north of seven hundred snaps there. 423 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I would say, you know, the franchise tag, 424 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: a shorter term deal. I think all that makes makes 425 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: some sense here. This from Blopa. He wants to make 426 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: three statements and know if I agree or disagree to them. 427 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: And why statement number one Last year's defensive back ceiling 428 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: is the. 429 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: Floor this year's dB room. H I like that. Yeah, yeah, 430 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: I could see that. Yeah. I think there's some real 431 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: potential with the secondary. 432 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Now. I do worry about the depth, especially at safety. 433 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: I think you're asking, you know, buying them. I have 434 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: noticed kind of getting back to him that Cross maybe 435 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: not the most active playmaking camp so far, but I've 436 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: definitely noticed buying him, you know, a few times, and 437 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: for the most part, really it hasn't been anything deep 438 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: completed against these guys number two. Here, the improvement on 439 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: the perimeter has a multiplier effect that makes the whole 440 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: team improved. Yeah, I definitely if you're better on the perimeter, 441 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: it can help me out of time. I mean, this is 442 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: a perimeter league and that Yes, trench play is important, 443 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: but the league has grown significantly in being a perimeter game. 444 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: That's just how football has evolved, especially over the last 445 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: five or ten years. So the Colts have not been 446 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: good enough out there on the perimeter. I can't say 447 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: the wide outs though I would label his strong camp 448 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: so far. I don't you know, the drops have gone 449 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: down here in the last couple of days, but still 450 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: I can't ignore what it's talking of the first three 451 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: or four days with that. But yeah, I mean when 452 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: you look at the secondary, you know, definitely, Lastly, if 453 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: it works, could this be an impressive change of direction 454 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: in Chris Ballard's career, Well sure, yeah, I mean it 455 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: definitely would be. I'd argue it needed change of direction 456 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: in Chris Boward's career, and yeah, could very well keep 457 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: his job obviously, just like people hear Anthony Richardson's answers on, Hey, 458 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: you know, I need to do more and I need 459 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: to stop slacking, And people say, well, why in the 460 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: world did it take you three years to figure that out? 461 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: People say the same thing about Chris Bward in nine 462 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: years on his resume. Why did it take you so 463 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: long to you know, try and find, you know, position 464 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: improvements and not be so hesitant in free agency and 465 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: not be so reliant and strench it on, you know, 466 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 1: run it back, and you know, build from within and 467 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: you know, ignore free agency largely to the level that 468 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: they did from outside of the building. Guys, Josh wants 469 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: to know a short segment checking in with all the 470 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: rookies would be great. He goes focused on the quarterback 471 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: has been understandable, but some other guys interested in have 472 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: been lost in the shuffle. Okay, so he wants a 473 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: little draft pick run down. Here, we've touched on Warren. 474 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna play a ton, he's gonna move all over, 475 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: catch raise is great. 476 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: Just yeah, I just yeah, everything. 477 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: That you would want in him to him all awhile again, 478 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, not a ton of crazy production. I did, 479 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: like I said Saul A little bit of it the 480 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: other day, moving around a bit. I would call him 481 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of rotational defensive end, playing with probably a little 482 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: bit more power than speed. At this point, i'd call 483 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: Justin Waally, you know, third corner starter. I think I 484 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: hit on that. I'd call Jalen Travis probably the lead 485 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: on that second tackle. I did actually notice him playing 486 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: a little guard the other day too, So clearly, you 487 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: know there's a thought there of you know, hey, can 488 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: you get him ready. 489 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 2: For game day? 490 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: You know he's got no guard on the resume there, 491 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: So that was something that did strike me. You know, 492 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: I'll be curious if DJ Ginton gets that second running 493 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: back spot. 494 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I do think Khalil Herbert and even Tyler 495 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: Go I've. 496 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: Noticed as well, especially as a special teamer and you know, 497 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: trying to make the team as a fourth running back. 498 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: You know, I continue to like what Giddens has shown. 499 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: Roley Leonard's a project he did on cork one the 500 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: other day, beautiful deep ball to d J Montgomery. But 501 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: you know he has been you know, an accurate, inefficient, 502 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, look like you know the guy we saw 503 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. So no real surprised there. You know, 504 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: Tim Smith rotates in occasionally, Eric Johnson, they brought back 505 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle, and then they did sign uh the 506 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: twuo Po dude who played with lou Ana Romo a 507 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: lot in Cincinnati, an older defensive tackle. And you know, 508 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: there was a point in the off season where I 509 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: mentioned this, I think on this pot of like, you know, 510 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: one thing about an Rumo in Cincinnati, he had a 511 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: lot of big fat dudes on his defensive line, and 512 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: the Colts really haven't been that, like al Woods might 513 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: be a name you throw out there, but they really 514 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: haven't been that a lot in the last handful of seasons. 515 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe that's a sign of like 516 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: it's an area that they want to train, get into it. 517 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: You know, maybe you whatever keep that dude on the 518 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: practice squad and you bring him out when you play 519 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: some run heavy teams. You know, maybe that you know, 520 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: you kind of elevate him for those sorts of games. 521 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, Tim Smith kind of rotating in, and you know, 522 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: I still think he's got, you know, to do something 523 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: to probably cement himself on the team. And then lastly 524 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: on Hunter Wooller, you know, as we touched on when 525 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: he was drafted. What a great spot for a seventh 526 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: round pick to be drafted into the Colts need safety help, 527 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean I look at Wahler as kind 528 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: of a pretty consistent second unit guy. 529 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 2: Daniel Scott's got a big special team's presence. 530 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, right now, I think it's trending as Wooler 531 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: to make the team, which for seventh round picks saying 532 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: that on July thirtieth, it doesn't happen very often, So 533 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: kudos to him and the right depth chart drafted him. 534 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: Low end theorist. I haven't heard much about joelannie Woods. 535 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: Is he practicing? How does he look? 536 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think he's missed a practice. Noticed him 537 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: in a couple seven on seven rep one day. Haven't 538 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: noticed him too much out of that. 539 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: I don't know where he makes a team. 540 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: To be honest, here's part of me of like, if 541 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: he shows anything, you would probably keep him around just 542 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: because you don't want a former third round pick who 543 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: you've waited this long to see, you know, blossom elsewhere. 544 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: But I'm like, who you cutting? You're not cutting Worn, 545 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: You're not cutting Moiley Cox. I don't think you're cutting 546 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: Drogatry or Will Mallory, So I don't Yeah, maybe practice squad, 547 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: can you kind of sneak him through there? But again, 548 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen enough of an impression from 549 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: him that would make me, you know, want to keep 550 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: him necessarily, you know, without any debate whatsoever. Uh, last 551 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: one here from Will. If you have to pick one, 552 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: who do you want to start under center for the Colts? 553 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: Not who you think will start, but as a fan, 554 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: who do you want? I'm sitting here after watching all 555 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: the inconsistencies, all the bs that has come with Anthony Richardson, 556 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: and yet I'm so fired up to see him take 557 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: snaps in a game setting versus Daniel Jones. 558 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 2: Screw the floor being higher with Daniel Jones. I want 559 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: the chance at the ceiling. 560 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you and I on the same boat, man, 561 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: And even if you don't bank of the high ceiling, 562 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: at least you get closer to the final answer. Plus, 563 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: I want to know if the healthy offseason did anything. Again, 564 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: I have seen incremental improvements. Maybe it's the kid that 565 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: didn't show up the classes now showing up the class. 566 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: Should I really compliment him for that? That's fair? I 567 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: can understand where people are coming from with that, but 568 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: I do feel like I've seen some growth there. But again, 569 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: what happens when you face the Ravens, Packers, Red Jersey 570 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: off real settings, and even if all that hits, even 571 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: if all of it hits, we still have the health question. 572 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: And that's what makes it. Richardson thing just so difficult 573 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: to gauge. But yeah, you guys know where I stand. 574 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: It's hardly ever the band aid, and in the AFC 575 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: in today's day and age, it's definitely not the band aid. 576 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: So give me the higher ceiling and go with that. 577 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. 578 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: I think, get stuck in the middle of the NFL 579 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: purgatory with whoever you know, Daniel Jones would whatever he 580 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: would deliver for you. 581 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: No thanks, no thanks. 582 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: One of seven five The Fan all of your training 583 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: camp coverage. Apologies for just the singular pods here. The 584 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: last couple of times are just on a bit of 585 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: a weirder schedule here. With training camp hopefully edding out, 586 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: I can get back to a little bit more of 587 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: a consistent recording basis, but we'll continue to have your 588 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: camp coverage again.
