1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: You know, realistically yesterday, and it was I mean, we 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: played the song I guess everybody kind of has to, 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: but you know, realistically, the Green Day joke yesterday that 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: was played out like ten years ago, right the you know, hey, 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: somebody wake up Green Day, September Ends, you know, I 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: mean that joke, but we still do it. It's kind 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: of like the justin Timberlake. You know, it's got to 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: be may joke. But it wasn't about the on October first, that, 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, any sort of a September ends, Green Day 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 1: thing theme, whatever else. And it was more about it 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: was a day of retirements yesterday. Now we're still here. 12 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: So neither Eddie, much to the dismay of probably many 13 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: of you, neither Eddie nor myself retired yesterday. But there 14 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: were there were plenty retirements of plenty. I mean, you 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: had retirements in terms of somebody that you're like, wait, 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: that hadn't happened yet. Then you had a retirement in 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: the form of, yeah, like that probably should have already happened, 18 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: but I had tangible proof it hadn't. And then you 19 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: had a retirement in the form of the hell did 20 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: I just watch So we'll begin with the one that 21 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: yesterday and I realized that happened right before we came 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: on the air. But I'll be honest, I didn't find 23 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: it to be overly symbolic or symbolic, yes, but er 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: shattering in the fact that yesterday the Colts announced that 25 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: Shaq Leonard would previously known as Darius Leonard, would retire 26 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: a player, retire as officially a cult and do it 27 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: this weekend and bang the anvil and go through the 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: whole ceremony. Now, I didn't find that to be overly 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: new or noteworthy, if I'm being honest, only because you know, 30 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: I found that to be just symbolic more than anything else, Like, hey, 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: he's officially retiring a cult. You know, guys come back 32 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: and do that, right they sign a one day contract 33 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: two years after they played a final game, and you 34 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: realize that it's just the symbolism of it. They want 35 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that it's officially on their roster chart 36 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: or their resume that they retired a member of the 37 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: organization where they feel like they really came into their own. 38 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: So yesterday that announcement for Shaq Leonard, who was a 39 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: wonderful player, there's no doubt about it. But Shaq Leonard 40 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: is a player that he had this and I think 41 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: at the time you could probably go back and make 42 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: the point, make the discussion, make the argument that in 43 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: Shaq Leonard's case, there was a little bit of he 44 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: was the he benefited from a system that was designed 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: to funnel things towards him. But at the same time, 46 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: he was an unbelievable He had an incredible knack for 47 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: making the big play and notably creating the big turnover 48 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: when the Colts most needed it, no question about it. 49 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: And he provided the fans here and the organization and 50 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: the people of Indianapolis a huge amount of joy during 51 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: the time in which he played and was an underdog story. 52 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: And there was nothing about Shaq Leonard really as a 53 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: player that he disliked. So he deserves the flowers that 54 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: he's getting in terms of that ceremony and the symbolism 55 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: of his retirement there. And so yesterday when I saw 56 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: that headline, I just thought, Okay, well, you know he 57 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: is symbolically retiring. I just assumed that he had filed 58 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: that paperwork a long time ago then once we were 59 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: off the air, and that it always seems to happen 60 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: that way. But a couple hours after we were done, 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: it is that Xavier Howard now is done as an 62 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: NFL player. And I harkened back to this, Eddie you 63 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: were ware in twenty and sixteen. 64 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: I would have been a junior in high school. 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: Okay, So at that time twenty sixteen was when the 66 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: Colts were in a situation where they needed help at corner, 67 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: and they went out and they got Antonio Coramarti. And 68 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Antonio Crammarti was a player that had been an All 69 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: Pro was really probably in terms of a defensive backfield, 70 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league, the best to 71 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: do it at in his prime, and the Colts were 72 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: in need of defensive help. They were in need from 73 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: a roster standpoint of, you know, a last minute addition 74 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: at corner. And they go out and they signed Antonio Comarti, 75 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, wow, okay, let's go Antonio Cromarti, 76 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: former Jet like you know, not necessarily revs. Island, but 77 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: darn close athletic rangeye, big guy, let's go. And there 78 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: were two things that came into play there which didn't 79 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: necessarily totally repeat itself but did to an extent, and 80 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: that is when they brought in Cromarty. They then went 81 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and really the tell tale, I think was when they 82 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: went to London to play Jacksonville and supposedly he left 83 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: and went to Paris, took the chunnel over to Paris 84 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: to go shopping, and then came back. And he absolutely 85 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that they loved their tea in London, 86 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: and I know they love their crumpets. I don't even 87 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: know what crumpets are, but I hope they liked their 88 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: toast because Antonio Comarti provided it. He got absolutely toasted. 89 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: He got absolutely roasted. He was absolutely scorched earth and 90 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: immediately the Colts after four games, went yeah, okay, this 91 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: just did not work out. We appreciate your time, this 92 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: didn't work out, and so he was released. It feels 93 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: like history kind of repeated itself to an extent. Xavier 94 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: and Howard when the Colts got themselves in position this 95 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: year where all of a sudden and that came off 96 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: the wrong way. I'm not going to say where they 97 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: got themselves in position, they really there was nothing they 98 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: could do about it. Injuries happen in the National Football 99 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: League and it's no different than your fantasy Fantasy football 100 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: is such a unique tool because it does two things. 101 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: It allows you to have an interest in games in 102 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: which you would otherwise have no interest. You know, the 103 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing the Patriots, except for you have Marvin 104 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: Harrison Junior on your fantasy team, so now you have 105 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: a reason to watch that game. And the other thing 106 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: that fantasy football does is it does allow you to 107 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: understand the difficulty and the challenge when you have a 108 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: position room using an NFL term there that is depleted 109 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: of its players due to injury and attrition. You know 110 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: our fantasy league right now, which again I find very 111 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: suspect that Nate from Chicago's Pizza is leading our league 112 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: because it is basically the Chicago's Pizza fantasy football league. 113 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: We had our draft at Chicago's Pizza, and Nate's now 114 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: undefeated and leading the league. But our league, for example, 115 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: you can only have so many wide receivers, and wide 116 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: receivers such an important position, and if you have a 117 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: bye week or a couple of injuries, now all of 118 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you are frantically scouring the waiver wire in 119 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: your fantasy league. I say this not because anybody cares 120 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: about your fantasy team, But because it gives you relation 121 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: to what the cults of the situation that they're in. 122 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: They found themselves in position where due to attrition, due 123 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: to injury, due to Jalen Jones going down, due to 124 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, other players that have been knocked out, they've 125 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: had to go out and scour the waiver wires and 126 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: get themselves a corner, and so they did so an 127 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Xavier Howard and now Eddie we still don't know, you know, 128 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce for example, and now the other side of 129 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: the ball. But Alec Pierce, we don't know. He went 130 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: through practice yesterday, but that gives you an idea with 131 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, the trickiness of what they're working with 132 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: in terms of getting guys healthy and getting them back correct. 133 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: He went through practice yesterday with the blue jersey, which 134 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: is the contact jersey, Jake, So that's an encouraging sign, 135 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: and it wasn't the red non contact jersey, which would 136 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: mean that he's further along in the protocol. 137 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: Then you know, we. 138 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: Knew going into the week, So it does seem encouraging 139 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: that Alec Peerce will be able to suit up on Sunday. 140 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: Now we'll just have to be on the lookout, I 141 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 2: think on probably Saturday morning early afternoon for the kind 142 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: of like when Travarius Ward was in the concussion protocol 143 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 2: of them announcining like, hey, he's off the injury report, 144 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 2: he has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, and he'll be 145 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: active and good to go Sunday. 146 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: And that's so with Ward, for example, when he goes down, 147 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: then Kenny Moore goes down, and you already had the 148 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: situation with Jones, so you're having to go out there 149 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: and that's how they end up with Xavier and Howard. 150 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: I get it right, and it's worth you understand, but 151 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: I think sometimes we get intrigued by it. And the 152 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: same thing happens with your fantasy team. I don't mean you, Eddie, 153 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't mean but whoever's listening, you get what I'm 154 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: talking about. Where you have to scour that waiver wire 155 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, wow, DeAndre Hopkins is available, Well, yeah, 156 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: I need a receiver. There you go, and what you 157 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: forget is that Father Time is undefeated, and so therefore 158 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: you go out and you get DeAndre Hopkins and you're like, 159 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: wait a minute, they heard it throwing the ball well, 160 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: you know, there is that cliff that guys can go over, 161 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: and in the case of Howard, I think that's what happened. Basically, 162 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: it was we're taking a shot. It was worth taking 163 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: a look. What you find out is that especially like 164 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: thirty is kind of the magic number. He's thirty one 165 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: years old. Guys, when they get to that age, just 166 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: the burst and the speed it simply is not there. 167 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: And in the National Football League the window is so 168 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: finite in terms of the gap space. And let me 169 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: explain what I mean by that and why yesterday we 170 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: had the retirement Exavier and Howard, which I think actually 171 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: the Colts did him a favor. But allow me to explain. 172 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: I recall talking with one NFL scout, this was about 173 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: four or five years ago, about quarterbacks coming out of college, 174 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: and they were saying, you know, the one thing that 175 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: is the most difficult to judge with a quarterback coming 176 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: out of college is if they are coming out of 177 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: a big time program. Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, t at 178 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: at Alabama. You know, for that matter, you could make 179 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: the argument. I mean, you know, Bryce Young out of Alabama, 180 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: even Jalen Hurts, which you know I realized he started Alabama. 181 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: But then at Oklahoma when you look at those quarterbacks 182 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: and you say, in college, man, they were unbelievable that 183 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: the ball was everywhere it needed to be instantaneously. They've 184 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: got laser focus at the quarterbacking spot. They can put 185 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: the ball wherever it needs to go, et cetera. But 186 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: the one thing that scouts keep in mind, and it 187 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: makes it difficult to figure out, is the those guys 188 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: in college are throwing to NFL receivers that are literally 189 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: two steps ahead of everybody, and the gap is huge. 190 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: So they know when they're dropping back and they they're 191 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: getting ready to make a pass. Their timing in college 192 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be as precise because the gap window 193 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: is like a second and a half. They know that 194 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: guy rowing to that guy that they're throwing to, whether 195 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: it be Justin Ross or Smith, you know, DeVante Smith, 196 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: whoever it might be. They know that those players are 197 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: a step and a half ahead of the defender and 198 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: so therefore it's unimpeded. And then they get into the 199 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: NFL and they realize, oh wow, the gap, the window. 200 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: It's like Peyton Manning once said a Tom Moore, that 201 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: guy wasn't open, and Tom Moore said he was NFL open. 202 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: He wasn't Tennessee open. He was NFL open. And so 203 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: time that the window is so short. The reason that 204 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: is is because defensive backs in the National Football League 205 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: are able to keep up with the receivers to an extent, 206 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: to an extent because you're moving backwards. It's a totally 207 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 1: different skill set. And think about the difference. Jeffricker was 208 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: just in here made a great point. We're sitting here 209 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: shooting the ball about it, and he says, think about 210 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the difference between a top flight defensive back and an 211 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: in space he's Tyreek Hill. And then take that top 212 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: flight defensive back, even with that gap, at his very best, 213 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: and remove even a finite ten percent, So an Xaviert Howard, 214 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: for example, if he loses that ten percent, now, all 215 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden, that gap is even Now, all of 216 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: a sudden, you're at college gap. You're back to college 217 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: gap window instead of NFL window. And that's what the 218 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Colts realized was taking place. It was worth taking a 219 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: flyer on him. He's a former guy that knows Leu 220 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Anarumo's system, that is familiar with it. That's been an 221 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: All Pro, but thank you for your service. Four games 222 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: we realized the gap is just too big. You've lost 223 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: that ten percent. And I think they did him as 224 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: solid by saying, instead of us releasing you, would you 225 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: like to announce your retirement, And he says okay, And 226 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: you know, I would imagine that that's probably it. 227 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 3: Now. 228 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: Maybe some team gets totally desperate takes one more flyer 229 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: on it. He's thirty one years old. But I think 230 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: it's probably the Antonio Comarti situation where it illuminated to 231 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: everybody what the situation was. So therefore, yesterday for the Colts, 232 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: you have that retirement. They did not go out and 233 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: again hit that waiver wire. They instead elevated Trey Washington 234 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: off of the practice squad in the defensive backfield, and 235 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: then you hope that you get guys back and healthy, 236 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: Jealen Jones eventually come back, et cetera, and you take 237 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: your chances with it. And they now are going up 238 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: this The other good news they have is they're going 239 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: against an offense this weekend that while Geno Smith I 240 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: think is a good player he has had so far 241 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: this year and inability to take care of the football 242 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: and he's a little bit you know, his interception numbers 243 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: have peeked back up into jets at Geno Smith Jets area, 244 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: and maybe that buys the Colts another week before they 245 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: have to be completely locked in. You know, Kyler Murray, 246 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's still finding his way with his receivers 247 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: as well. So for the next couple of weeks they 248 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: might be able to kind of get by with slowly 249 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: reacclimating at the defensive backfield position. Then there was retirement 250 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: number three that took place last night. It took place 251 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: about I've got to go back and think about it. 252 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say ten thirty, maybe eleven o'clock last night, 253 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: and that retirement was it in terms of the side. 254 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: And then the season the Cincinnati Reds who found themselves 255 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: and Eddie is still just staring at the floor. Eddie 256 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: is despondent. Eddie is in a trance. Eddie is in 257 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: a what did I just see? Mode? Where the Reds 258 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: get the bases loaded, a chance to get themselves back 259 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: in the game. I mean, they obviously took the two 260 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: nothing lead, but. 261 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 2: Well the Spirals started Jake when they had the bases 262 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: loaded in no outs in the third inning, they don't score, 263 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: and next thing you know, it's he and they're down four. 264 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: They're down four, two, five to two. Whatever, it was, right, 265 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. So they they got out 266 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: to the two nothing lead, and then I thought I 267 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: saw some statistic in terms of getting bases loaded with 268 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: nobody out and not scoring a run, and the rarity 269 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: of that in the postseason. I mean, it's historic stuff, right. Well, 270 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: at least it's not the Yankees shake where they were. 271 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: They had the bases loaded and nobody out in the 272 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: ninth hitning and just needed one run to tie, and 273 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: they don't score a run at all. At least it 274 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: wasn't that. Who did you say you're rooting for? Between 275 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: the Yankees and Red Sox? The Red Sox and for 276 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: what reason, I can't stand the Yankees, But the Red 277 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: Sox are kind of the Yankees light, aren't they. 278 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: I know it's at this. 279 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: Point I am enjoying the painful nature of which Yankees 280 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: fans are going through right now. With Aaron Boone, they 281 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: got an all time great and they can't win with him. 282 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: Talking about Aaron Judge, he is a great player. Well, 283 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: why would you say they can't win with them because 284 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: they can't. Okay, fair enough, they haven't won a World 285 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: Series with him? Well, sure, that's what I should say. 286 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: They haven't won a World Series. They can win with 287 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: him obviously, just can't win when it matters, right. 288 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: Okay, fair But the baseball playoffs, though, you know, there 289 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: is a magic. I'm sitting there watching the Reds and 290 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it's cool, it's the postseason, it's the Reds, 291 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: but the Reds feel like they are still an organization. 292 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: And I'm a Reds fan per se, kind of a 293 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: transient bandwagon Reds fan, like when it's going well admittedly, 294 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: but that's who I root for in baseball. But nonetheless, 295 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: when when you're watching a postseason game, I mean, it 296 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: is special and you're like, man, it is just so 297 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: cool and it takes so long to get there, and 298 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, you've heard my old man 299 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: rant about breaking out the goggles and the champagne and 300 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: whatever else? 301 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: Did it last night? 302 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: Well, Mookie Bets you heard Mookie Bets was asked about it, Yeah, 303 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: and he sounded to me like me. He was kind 304 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: of like, I guess we're going to do this, right. 305 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: I mean Scott Vanpeld asked him about it as soon 306 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: as the game was over. Yeah, and he basically was saying, yeah, 307 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we'll do that. But I think 308 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: he was kind of in my camp of like, I 309 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: don't know, we just did this, didn't we. But the 310 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: Reds feel like as an organization and as a fan base, 311 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: the spraying of Champagne for getting into the postseason, that 312 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: that is their culmination celebration because they haven't won a 313 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: postseason game now in what fourteen years, So there was 314 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: an element of it. It looked like a franchise, a team, 315 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: an organization, a vibe that was happy to be there. 316 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, pretty much that's what it came down to you. 317 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: And but you gotta with anything, you gotta want for 318 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: more than that, right. 319 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: Changes need to be made, Jake, And I don't know 320 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: if they'll make the changes because the way the franchise 321 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: is operating the last five to ten years is that 322 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: they've been fine with five hundred, and they'll try to 323 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 2: sell their fans like, hey, we made the playoffs this year, 324 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: we can build on this. They kind of backed into it, right, Yeah, 325 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: we had a lot of down years, like Matt McLean 326 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 2: had it down here, Spencer Steer had it down here. Well, 327 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: maybe they're just not good. 328 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: Okay, now you said changes need to be made. I 329 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: think Miles Turner realized that he needed to change his 330 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: tune a little bit. Now, Xavier Howard, what we saw 331 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: yesterday for the Colts was a player that was retired 332 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: because he just doesn't have the same step. And when 333 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: you are a defensive back, that step has to be 334 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: walking it backwards, right. Miles Turner put himself in position, 335 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: and I like Miles Turner. Open disclaimer. I like Miles Turner. 336 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that. I like him as a 337 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: player and I like him as a guy. I really 338 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: like him, and I get it. I get the frustration 339 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: within the franchise itself because of the different situations he 340 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: was put in in terms of you know, the DeAndrea 341 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: eight and sheet. I mean, we've gone over all that. 342 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: But he's walking back now what it was that he 343 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: said yesterday, right, or said a couple of days ago, 344 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: then yesterday he tries to clarify it when he comes 345 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: out and says for media day for the Milwaukee Bucks, look, 346 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm it's great to be somewhere where I'm celebrated, and 347 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what he said. Then he 348 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: comes out on social media and says, no, whoaha, whoa, whoa, whoa. 349 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: I was talking about the free agency process. I was 350 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: not talking about the fans themselves. And I get it 351 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: because I think he realized, well, wait a minute. And 352 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: I understand this as well, although it's you would think 353 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five everyone would know this instantly, But 354 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: I do somewhat understand where when he was talking to 355 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee media, when he's talking to media day, thinking 356 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: that he's speaking just to the Bucks, that he almost 357 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: was naive or not thinking about naives pi the wrong word, 358 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: but just in the moment, wasn't thinking about, wait a minute, 359 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: this what I'm about to say is going to be 360 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: heard beyond just the Buck Nation, Okay. And so he 361 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: makes those comments and then he has to go back 362 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: and walk it back a little bit. And at this point, 363 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: and I agree with what Jay and V said on 364 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: social media, it's too late. It's out there. It's too late. 365 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: You can't clarify it now, you can't go back now, 366 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: you can't walk it back. You're Xavier Howard you're trying 367 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: to move backwards and backpedal and clean it up. It's 368 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: too late. The words are out there. He was a 369 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: great member of this community. He was a great member 370 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: of the Pacers organization. And when he says, listen, I 371 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: want to clarify, I was talking about the process. I 372 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: was talking about the and basically what he was implying 373 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: was Pacer fans. I wasn't talking talking to you. I 374 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: was talking to the organization. But the problem with that 375 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: is the fact that during the process, in his negotiation 376 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: with the organization, Miles Turner really didn't open it up 377 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: for counterpoint because and I think what happened was this. 378 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: I think the Pacers, I'm not going to say they 379 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: lowballed him, but I understand it when you are the 380 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers and you're looking at other players on your 381 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: roster that you've got to get figured out, and you 382 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: know that you're going to have to eventually re sign 383 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: nim Hard to nim Hard's on a pretty good deal 384 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: right now, but in a lengthy deal. But nim Hard, 385 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: Nie Smith, Walker, Matheren Shepherd, you have all these players 386 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: and you've got to figure out your cap moving forward 387 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: in the next say, four year window, So Miles Turner. 388 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: You assume that Miles Turner is going to want to 389 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: stay here. You assume that he doesn't have an offer 390 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: sheet from somebody already or have something out there, and 391 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: so you kind of lowball him in your first offer, 392 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: fully expecting that that's not anywhere near the number you're 393 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: gonna end up paying him. But you do it for 394 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: the sake of doing it right. It's no different than 395 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: when you go in to buy a car. You know, 396 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: when you go into buy a car, there is no 397 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: way this guy's gonna take thirty grand for this car. 398 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna offer thirty knowing that it's probably gonna 399 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: cost me thirty eight. But I'm gonna start at thirty 400 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: because if he takes it, whow what a deal. And 401 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: the Pacers I think did that, and so yes, I 402 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: understand where Miles Turner would be offended by that or 403 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: upset by that, but he didn't give them a chance, 404 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: by all account to counter it, because I think Milwaukee said, 405 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: here is an offer that we're gonna give to you, 406 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: and you cannot use this though as negotiating ploy this 407 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: is your offer. You hear what Indiana has to say, 408 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: we need an answer by end of same business day. 409 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: And so there's a little bit of truth in both 410 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: sides here. Turner case, I understand why he's upset, and 411 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: but at the same time he didn't. In the Pacers case, 412 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: I understand why they were blindsided because he didn't give 413 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: them a chance to counter the thing. Eddie and all 414 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: of this that seems odd is when it happened, the 415 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: word was that Miles Turner like hadn't talked to anybody. 416 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: Then we had aaron Nesmith on and what did aaron 417 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: Ne Smith say that Miles Turner told all the players 418 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: in his group chat like that this is what was 419 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: going to happen allegedly. 420 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: Allegedly. 421 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: I think he probably did right. Why would Nie Smith? 422 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: Why would Nie Smith? 423 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 4: Though? 424 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: Say? No, I mean Turner sent us a text to 425 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: all of us, and we understood what's best for his Pami. 426 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: I mean he could have sent a text bout the 427 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: timing of the text, like it before or after. 428 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, Like I sent you a text, Jake, 429 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: does it? I didn't tell you when I sent the text. 430 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Fair but I but but there would be reason for 431 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, at that time, with that report coming out like, 432 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: there's no reason for Aaron Nesmith to basically, you know, 433 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: say that. And I'm not saying Aaron Ne Smith's a 434 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: liar by any strategy. I mean, that's not what I'm saying. 435 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: I think he's being truthful because why would he why 436 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: would he throw that nugget out there if it wasn't true. 437 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: But I just think Miles Turner, this is a situation 438 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: and at times when he was a player here, with 439 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: all players, it comes into play. I just don't think 440 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: he totally thought through what it was he was saying 441 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: in the moment, and I think he thought, like, I'm 442 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: really going to draw a line in the sand here 443 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: and I'm going to get it out there as to 444 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: how I feel about Indiana and that process. And it's 445 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: all of these insecurities, all of these frustrations, all of 446 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: these things boiled over once finally the power was put 447 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: in his hands through that negotiating process, and I think 448 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: all the things that he had previously just stored away 449 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: and locked away in the back of his mind and 450 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: played through all came out in one fell swoop, and 451 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: the frustration and the insecurity and the anger, all of 452 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: it came out. And then he realizes, Oh gosh, like 453 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: I think fans think I mean them there, That's not 454 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about at all. And I don't think 455 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: the Pacers were wrong, per se. I don't think Miles 456 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: Turner's wrong, per se. But he is trying to walk 457 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: it back a little bit, and we saw it yesterday. 458 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: But in terms of negotiations, in terms of lines in 459 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: the sand, I think a little bit bit of that 460 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: is taking place, and in particular with one player here 461 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: in Central Indiana on a national and global standpoint in 462 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: terms of power of positioning and the attempt at leverage 463 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: in business. And there's one player here in Central Indiana 464 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: that has kind of found themselves right in the middle 465 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: of all of it. And it may get even murkier 466 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: and uglier. And I'll explain what I'm talking about. Big 467 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 1: show lined up for you today when we come back, 468 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: I will do that.

So a big 473 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: show lined up for you on this Thursday, a glorious 474 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: looking Thursday. But unlike those things we're talking about, we're 475 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: not backpedaling. We're looking forward. And I'm going to prognosticate 476 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: with one player in this town that might find themselves 477 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: in the middle of a big brew. Haha. I'll tell 478 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: you about it next. You just heard J and V 479 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: talking about this, and this is something that initially, you know, 480 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: your ears perked up. And as we've gone along here, 481 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: it's become a bigger and bigger story. And I think 482 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: it's about to become a massive not that it's not 483 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: already story. And let me explain what I'm talking about. 484 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: The big headlines came out and I can't recall my 485 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: days all run together, but it was was it Monday 486 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: or Tuesday when Nefisa Collier basically called a press conference 487 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: to express her concerns about the leadership of the WNBA. 488 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: It was I think it was Monday. Monday sounds right, Yeah. 489 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: I was at her exit interview. That's how she started 490 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: her exit. 491 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Interview, and so she voiced her concerns about leadership with 492 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: the w NBA, and in doing so, roped in the 493 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: biggest star in the w NBA. This is Nefisa Callier 494 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: talking about her concerns with Katy Engelbert, who is the 495 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: commissioner of the WNBA and the leadership of the league 496 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: itself at Unrivaled. 497 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 5: This past February, I sat across from Kathy and asked 498 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 5: how she planned to address the officiating issues in our league. 499 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 5: Her response was, well, only the losers complain about the refs. 500 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 5: I also asked how she plan to fix the fact 501 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 5: that players like Caitlin Angel and Page, who are clearly 502 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 5: driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little 503 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 5: for their first four years. Her response was, Caitlyn should 504 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 5: be grateful she makes sixty million off the court, because 505 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 5: without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't 506 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 5: make anything. And in that same conversation, she told me 507 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 5: players should be on their knees thanking they're lucky stars 508 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 5: for the media right steal that I got them. 509 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: Now Caitlyn Clark has addressed this today, okay. And Kaitlyn 510 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: Clark is one that, for the most part, I think 511 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: kind of stays out of things, if you will, right, 512 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: and just you don't hear a lot into it. We 513 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: don't hear a lot from her in general. But she's 514 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: been hurt, so I mean, you know, I get that 515 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: aspect of it. Okay, But Caitlyn Clark said the following quote. 516 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: First of all, I have great respect for Fee that 517 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: would be caller obviously back to the quote, and I 518 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: think she might have made a lot of very valid points. 519 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: More people need to understand we need great leadership in 520 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: this time across all levels. This is straight up the 521 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: most important moment in this league's history. This league's been 522 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: around for twenty five plus years, and this is a 523 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: moment we have to capitalize on. So that's honestly what 524 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: I would say. Be said it all with what she said, 525 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: and the points she made were very valid. End quote 526 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 1: from Kaitlin Clark. What they're referring to is this, and 527 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: what I think we're seeing and hearing is the following 528 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: the WNBA, which, as Caitlin Clark just mentioned, there began 529 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago and the WNBA right now is 530 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: at its peak popularity. And for that reason, the collective 531 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: Bargaining Agreement that was agreed upon in terms of all 532 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: of the things that a player for the WNBA gets 533 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: in terms of revenue share and you know, salaries improved benefits, childcare, 534 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: maternity leave, all of those things, travel standards, all of 535 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: those things that were agreed upon were set to expire 536 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: at the end of twenty twenty seven, but there was 537 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: a clause within that collective bargaining agreement that the players 538 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: could opt out of it and renegotiate it by the 539 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: deadline of October thirty first of this year. What you 540 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: are seeing is a power play between the commissioner of 541 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: the WNBA and the players themselves. And while it is 542 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: easy to sit back, and especially in a league in 543 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: where we, as a general rule, are not, there's really 544 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: only one league, maybe two where we do like daily 545 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: play by play analysis of collective bargaining negotiations, and that's 546 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. In the NBA, those are the two because 547 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: of the television dollars that pour into that and the 548 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: way that it's divvied up and the way it impacts 549 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: salaries and salary cap windows. I mean, you look at, 550 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: for example, Lance Stevenson, when Lance Stevenson was leaving Indiana 551 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: after his rookie deal, and everybody thought he was a 552 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: moron for going to Charlotte and taking a contract that 553 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: paid him less than what he was being offered in Indiana. 554 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: But what everybody was saying was or overlooking was he 555 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: opted for a four year contract instead of a five 556 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: year contract, even though the average annual salary was less. 557 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: He wanted the four years because his agent was able 558 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: to look at it and say, the new collective bargaining 559 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: agreement is going to take place in that year of 560 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: free agency, and when that happens, that's the year when 561 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: everybody just goes out and starts spending money galore because 562 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: the salary cap raises so much. You want to be 563 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: in that window and take advantage in that particular year. Now, 564 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: Stevenson gambled on himself and lost because he didn't play 565 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 1: as well, but that's why he was going with that 566 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: shorter contract because he wanted to cash in in that 567 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: year when the TV money kicked in. And the WNBA 568 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: right now is going through that exact thing where the 569 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: players are saying, look, we need better than this, because 570 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: we are the ones that have raised the standard here. 571 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: And I understand. I'm not saying I agree with. I 572 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: understand where the commissioner is coming from because it is 573 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: her job as the commissioner to speak essentially as the representative, 574 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: as the bad guy as the bad deliverer and message 575 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: stater for the owners of the league itself, and so 576 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: therefore they are saying, look, if these players are wanting 577 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: higher salary, if these players are wanting a bigger slice 578 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 1: of the pie, like, we've got to start making it 579 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: clear now where we stand in this new negotiation that 580 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: we're about to go through, and both sides are giving 581 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: their firm line Nope, I'm going to sell this car. 582 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: I can't budge over thirty eight grand I need for 583 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: this car. No I want to pay I'm not going 584 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: to pay over thirty Okay, let's meet somewhere in the middle. 585 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: We're in the beginning. It gets real nasty, and it 586 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: may still and in terms of the standpoint of Kaitlyn Clark, 587 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: and she better be happy. She's making sixty million off 588 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 1: the court and she wouldn't make that if it weren't 589 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: for the WNBA exactly. I mean, that is the most 590 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: laughable thing ever issues so ignorant Caitlin Clark. Well, it's 591 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Eddie, It's not ignorant because what it 592 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: is is its negotiation. I don't think she believes that. 593 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 1: I don't think Kathy Engelbert believes that in one way, 594 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: shape or form. But as the commissioner of the WNBA, 595 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: and I'm again I want to be very clear here, 596 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I agree with her. I'm saying her 597 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: job is to present the hardline stance of from the 598 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,359 Speaker 1: owners and the league standpoint of making sure that they 599 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: don't all of a sudden completely give in to every 600 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: player demand throughout this negotiation. That's her job. The job 601 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: of the players then, of course, is to say no, 602 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: we want this because this is what we're bringing you. Yes, 603 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: it was an ignorant thing to take it. I don't 604 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: think she believes it is what I'm getting at, But 605 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: she's throwing that out there because she's trying to draw 606 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: that line in the sand of this collective bargaining agreement 607 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: that is about to be retooled with a Halloween deadline. 608 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: And so you play hardball to begin with. And look, 609 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: and if he's a collier, was whether it was her 610 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: own initiation, whether the other players went to her and said, 611 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: can you be the one to speak up for us? 612 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: Whatever it may be, She's the one drawing that line 613 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: in the sand on the other side of things, And 614 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark is because she is the straw that mixes 615 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: the drink of the WNBA in every aspect. You know, 616 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: there are great players in the WNBA, but Caitlin Clark 617 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: is the most transcendent. Caitlin Clark is the name that 618 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: if you are somebody living in Cheyenne, Wyoming, or Jacksonville, Florida, 619 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: or you know, Augusta, Maine, she's the player in the 620 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: w Hey are you familiar with the WNBA A. I 621 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: think that's the Women's league, right does Caitlyn Clark playing that? 622 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: She's the transendate one, So her name is automatically going 623 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: to get attached into it because what comes with the 624 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: benefit of being all of that money that you're talking about. 625 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: She Engelbert is correct in that regard, in the fact 626 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: that when it comes to the w NBA, she is 627 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: synonymous with that platform. But Caitlin Clark would be synonymous 628 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: with whatever league she's playing in right now because of 629 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: the fact that she that began in Iowa. I know 630 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: this because I sat during an IndyCar. I'll never during 631 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: an IndyCar weekend. I sat one time in my hotel 632 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: room and for two and a half hours to watch 633 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: nothing but the women's Final four, because I'm like, I 634 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: can't believe what this girl I was doing. I mean, 635 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: she's going by her back pulling up Steph Curry threes. 636 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: And my dad's texting my sister and a group family 637 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: text about it, like and my dad's you know, all 638 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: about Kaitlyn Clark, and people are all about Kitlyn Clark. 639 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: I mean, and do you remember Eddie when Kaitlyn Clark 640 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: when it was finally determined that she was going to 641 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: forego her eligibility and going to the WNBA Draft and 642 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: the Fever had the number one pick. We were at 643 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: the combine. I think Matt Verderraim is going to join 644 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: us here in about fifteen minutes. Was with us that day, 645 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: and our lead conversation the whole time was the fact 646 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: that Caitlin Clark was coming to Indiana and this was 647 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: during the NFL Draft combine because she she was that 648 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: big a transcendence star in college, so that money was 649 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: going to follow her wherever she was going to go. 650 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: She could be playing right now professional basketball in Australia 651 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: and there would be TV contracts here for people to 652 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: see it because she's that transcendent the star. But what 653 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: you're seeing here is that transcendence attaches her to an 654 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: argument from both sides, and she's kind of caught in 655 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: the middle of it and now comes out and says, 656 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm glad that Callier did said what 657 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: I would have said, and she's probably grateful that there 658 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: is a player keeping that platform. But what you are 659 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: seeing here is the beginning of what is going to 660 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: be a month long power play in a collective bargaining agreement. 661 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: And the keyword of that is agreement. And that's what's 662 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: going to be probably continuing to be a back and 663 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: forth here over the next couple of weeks, and then 664 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: eventually they will have a new agreement. There will be 665 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: some sort of, you know, an improvement, whether it be 666 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars, I don't know about that, 667 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: but there's going to be an improvement in the situation 668 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: the players are looking for. There will be something that 669 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: appeases what the owners are looking for, and then everybody 670 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: will do essentially a Miles Turner on this walk back 671 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: Thursday and say, you know what, actually, let's clarify what 672 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: we meant, and boom, you come to a retirement of 673 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: that particular story.

Number One, it's a product I love. It 723 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: is a product that I love and we love and 724 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: Eddie does as well. And number two, it combines really 725 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: two of my passions. One of my passions is, you know, 726 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: just being able and being four fortunate enough to talk 727 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 1: to people and interact with people and engage with people 728 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: on this radio show each day. And you know, look, 729 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,720 Speaker 1: do I at times? Do I ruffle? I don't try 730 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: to do this I'm saying, I'm understanding of the fact 731 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: that not every opinion I have everyone's going to agree with. 732 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: I understand the fact that there are probably a lot 733 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: of people that don't at times get tired of me 734 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: or don't let me I get it right. But at 735 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: its core, I do appreciate and love being able to 736 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: interact with people and share experiences of the things that 737 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,919 Speaker 1: we do on the radio show, off the radio show. 738 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: The other of my passions is, of course, the fact 739 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: that I travel around with IndyCar and I love, love, 740 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 1: love the Indianapolis five hundred and IndyCar racing in general, 741 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: but the five hundred and the Speedway, I think everybody 742 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: knows mean everything to me. So to be able to 743 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: combine really those two passions, being able to speak with 744 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: and interview people on the guest Line and being able 745 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: to do so with a company that also understands and 746 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: is equally involved in my racing, I love it, and 747 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 1: that's why I am totally stoked and cannot wait for 748 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: when we officially announce.

By the way, mining your p's 766 00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: and q's, I've mentioned this before. You know what that 767 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: comes down to. That comes down to the olden days. 768 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 2: In like mind, your manners or whatever. 769 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,760 Speaker 1: Very similar in the old days in England. I believe 770 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: it's England. It might be either explain this in your 771 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: English accent, with old Man English accent, or just regular 772 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,280 Speaker 1: British acas whatever you're feeling, Jake. So in the old days, 773 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 1: when you'd go into a pub, I don't know if 774 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: it was Ireland, Scotland or England. I think England, you 775 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: would order, you know, I took a point please, or yes, 776 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: actually there's a couple of it. I took a court 777 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: and so they would write on they would have like 778 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: a chalkboard and they'd put eddie and they would mark 779 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: down whether you had a pint or a court, and 780 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: then if you had too many of them, and all 781 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, I have there you let's 782 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 1: go out saw a fight, and all of a sudden 783 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 1: you're starting fights and start in trouble. They would come 784 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: to you and say, listen, we told you already you've 785 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: been having a bit too much of the gronk, and 786 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: as a result, you're going to have to mind. We're 787 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,280 Speaker 1: looking at it right here. Mind your pays and cues. 788 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: You're drinking too many of them, and so minding your 789 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: p's and q's was simply a reminder that make sure 790 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: that you don't get overserved and cause trouble. So mind 791 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: how many pints and courts you've had. How about them apples. 792 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: Matt Verdoran, by the way, drinks his p's and q's 793 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 1: at Club Apple, Bee's, Hey, and the Taco Bell CANTEENA 794 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: joins us next. So I just actually got a text 795 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: from somebody trying to guess the sponsor of the guest line. 796 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty good guests, pretty solid guests. They said you 797 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 1: should do a contest, and I thought, you know what, 798 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: it actually would be kind of cool. To do a 799 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: contest where the winner of the contest, but then again, 800 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, it would have to tie in with 801 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: the sponsor of the guest line, and I thought, you 802 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: know what, We'll just build up the suspense and leave 803 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: it at that, because then it becomes very convoluted. But 804 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: it was a solid guests on who the guest line 805 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: will be. The guest line is where we anticipate talking 806 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: with Matt verde Am coming up just a couple of minutes. Yesterday. Actually, 807 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: I did some radio in Lost Wages better known as 808 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: Las Vegas with JT. The Brick, who, of course a 809 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: national radio host and he is based out of Las Vegas. 810 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 1: He does he is the Eddie Garrison of the Fever 811 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: to the Raiders. In other words, he does like pre 812 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: and postgame stuff with the Raiders broadcasts, does a lot 813 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll. I think he hosts the Pete Carroll 814 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: Show as well. And one of the things in talking 815 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 1: to him, and he's going to join us in about 816 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: an hour is JT. The Brick will go over the 817 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,800 Speaker 1: Raiders stuff and one of the things we're going to 818 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,439 Speaker 1: talk about is just the fact that I'm gonna say 819 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:51,320 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say uncharacteristically, but maybe reverting back to old ways. 820 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: And maybe part of it, and this is what I'll 821 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: ask JT the brick, you know, maybe part of it 822 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: is they are schematically doing things the wrong way, drawing 823 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: things up for him. But the Raiders, now Geno Smith 824 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 1: is starting to turn the ball over a little bit. 825 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 2: Two things. Yes, Number one, he's second in the league 826 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 2: in interceptions, and Matt Verderam had an emergency and he 827 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,359 Speaker 2: cannot join us. 828 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: Okay, certainly, hope everything's all right for Matt. Now the 829 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:23,760 Speaker 1: I thought about this in that discussion with JT yesterday. 830 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: The Raiders and the interceptions from Geno Smith combined with 831 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 1: the fact that I, you know, I saw a lot 832 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: of discussion about, for example, the Ravens and the Ravens offensively, 833 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 1: we know, you know, have a lot of weapons, and 834 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 1: I think the world of Derrick Henry, I mean I 835 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,280 Speaker 1: think I just I am. Derrick Henry could be fifty 836 00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: three years old and I would be convinced that he 837 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,919 Speaker 1: could still go out and run. I'm sure people felt 838 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 1: the same way about Jim Brown. You know, the old 839 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: joke it's now been used about you know, every single 840 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 1: player But the initial player that this was attributed to 841 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: was the late great Jim Brown. Allegedly when he was 842 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: being interviewed when he was forty five years old or whatever, 843 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: and somebody said how many yards can you run for today? 844 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,479 Speaker 1: And he said I could probably average four yards of carry? 845 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: And they're like, really, like you think so the league 846 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, has changed that much or whatever, and he said, well, 847 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, keep in mind I'm forty five, 848 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: meaning like no, no, no, we don't mean like what 849 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: you would do today as a forty five year old guy. 850 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 1: I do believe Derrick Henry. I'm just convinced of it. 851 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's like ageless, right. But the Ravens with 852 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,760 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, and even with his yards per carry average, 853 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: I saw an entire discussion about the limited number of 854 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: times that Derrick Henry carries the ball on first and 855 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: second down and they are essentially reserving him as a 856 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 1: third down back. And why are they doing that because 857 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens offense, see, you know, it is not as 858 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: efficient on first and second down, and why would you 859 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: not go earlier with what works for you? Now, you 860 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:11,720 Speaker 1: could make the argument or the discussion that the reason 861 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's average is what it is is because he's 862 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,239 Speaker 1: not being you know, in other words, well, they're not 863 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: very efficient on first and second down, and yet Derrick 864 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 1: Henry is averaging blank yards per carry. Well, that is 865 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 1: like the nerdiest thing you've ever heard. You say, Jake, No, 866 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,760 Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying. I think when you crunch 867 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 1: those numbers and look at it, then you can figure out. Okay, 868 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: perhaps that's because the Ravens are throwing the ball so 869 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 1: often on first and second down. Because the point is this, 870 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: when he does carry the ball on first and second down, 871 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: they're like sixth in the league on efficiency on those plays. 872 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 1: Ok So why wouldn't they do it more well? Because 873 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,280 Speaker 1: the more you do it, the more that number gets shrunk. 874 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: In other words, when first off, people are gonna start 875 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 1: loading the box. If you do that a lot right 876 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: as it is right now, they're dropping back because they know. 877 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: And so when he does sparingly carry on first and 878 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 1: second down, it's like, wow, why don't they do this 879 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: more well? Because once you start doing it more then 880 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: defenses start to counter for it. And to use my phrase, 881 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: water finds its level, right, I mean equilibrium I think 882 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: is that yeah, so it can be convoluted. But if 883 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,719 Speaker 1: you decipher those aspects of the Ravens, or you look 884 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,200 Speaker 1: at Geno Smith and turning the ball over for the Raiders. 885 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: The thing that essentially, as I was thinking about and 886 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: analyzing all this is the thing that the Colts have 887 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: done really well to this point is Shane Stikeen. And 888 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's Shane Steichen doing this for 889 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, or whether it's Daniel Jones's skill set allows 890 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 1: it for Shane Steichen, but the Colts are calling games 891 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: and running it an offense that caters towards what they 892 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: do best, and the Colts in doing that are able. 893 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 1: And I know that he had the two picks on Sunday, 894 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,800 Speaker 1: and we're going to see whether or not that that's 895 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,720 Speaker 1: the anomaly or whether they're starting to trend that way 896 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks with the anomaly when 897 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: the Colts were so offensively efficient. But it feels to 898 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: me like what we are seeing is an offense that 899 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 1: is being designed spelled out. And this would certainly you 900 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: would assume be true of every team in the league. 901 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,479 Speaker 1: But it's being designed and spelled out and written out 902 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: and game planned to suit the strength of its quarterback 903 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,840 Speaker 1: and stay away from its weakness as an offense. And 904 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 1: you could say to yourself, well, Jake, every team does that. 905 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,720 Speaker 1: But if you are the Bills, if you are the Chiefs, 906 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: if you are the Bengals when Joe Burrow's healthy, I 907 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 1: don't know that you are as technical in your offensive 908 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 1: playbook calling Because you feel like you have quarterbacks with 909 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: no governor on them, you can just let it go 910 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: and whatever play you call, you got a chance. The 911 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,240 Speaker 1: play is going to work. Whether you want Josh Allen 912 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,759 Speaker 1: to air it out, whether you want Josh Allen to 913 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, do a quarterback draw, whether you want Patrick 914 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes to find guys in space or go through all 915 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: his reads, or then, you know, whatever it might be. 916 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 1: Whether you want Joe Burrow just that precision with all 917 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: the weapons he's got. Those guys you can call about anything. 918 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: But are the Colts now offensively benefiting from the fact 919 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 1: that they have a quarterback and Shane Steichen selected the 920 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: quarterback that does have a governor limited audit, and that 921 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: forces them to be more selective and more analytical in 922 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,920 Speaker 1: the plays that they're calling, and thus more efficient, and 923 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: they have. The Colts as an offense, have multiple weapons, 924 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: probably underrated weapons. I think offensively they are better than 925 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 1: their given credit. And it all starts, truthfully with Tyler 926 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:44,879 Speaker 1: Warren a year ago, two years ago there and you've 927 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: heard me say this a lot, I realize, but their 928 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:53,720 Speaker 1: bailout play, their safety net play, was either find Michael 929 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 1: Pittman for ten yards over the middle because he's a 930 00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: big target and he's reliable and he's durable with a 931 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 1: hurt back. I mean there's a lot of warrior, there's 932 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot of dog in Michael Pittman. That was one 933 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,879 Speaker 1: and the other was Josh Downs Like okay, Josh Jowns 934 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,879 Speaker 1: is just floating around somewhere, like drop it off to him. 935 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: Those were kind of their two bailout plays. Now they 936 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: have the bailout play is right there, and Tyler Warren 937 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: is not bailout. I mean they're designing things to him, 938 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: but you know when all hell breaks loose, that that's 939 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: a guy that you can get to as your bailout 940 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 1: player if but there are more players now, they just 941 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 1: have more weapons. Part of that too is they are 942 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: utilizing Jonathan Taylor in different ways. They're actually getting him 943 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield through the air more 944 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: than they used to. They have Pittman in the areas 945 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 1: where he's at his best. They have downs who at 946 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 1: times they get involved. Adie Mitchell, We've gone over that. 947 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: But he is somebody that they've incorporated. Ashton Doolan when 948 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: he's on the field, they've incorporated and Alec Pierce they're 949 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: using in different ways. Now, how much of that, again, 950 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,240 Speaker 1: is because they this is the strength to Daniel Jones. 951 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 1: And how much of that is because we have to 952 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 1: be selective in the way that we that we spell 953 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,400 Speaker 1: this out. But it all starts with Tyler Warren and 954 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: the fact that defenses have to be aware of where 955 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: he is at all times, and that allows you to 956 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 1: get into different areas more easily and more efficiently. And 957 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: Andy I've talked like, let's look at the Pacers. Okay, okay, 958 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 1: if you look at the Pacers offense when it's a 959 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: different offense when Tyree's Halliburton is healthy versus say when 960 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 1: andrawd Imhardt's running the point, would you agree, agreed? 961 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:45,920 Speaker 2: Yes? 962 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:54,360 Speaker 1: Now, when Halliburton is healthy, that offense is go down fast, pace, 963 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: score quickly, get an open three or then kick back 964 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: and when Myles Turner was out there, gets it the 965 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: top on the threat whatever, and then they run that 966 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 1: kind of weave rotation where you know, whether it be 967 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 1: Nie Smith or Nim Hart or even Topping, you know 968 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: they all can hit from the outside or you go 969 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: down to Siako on the block right, and so you 970 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: are constantly working to get the ball where it needs 971 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 1: to go. But when Halliburton's on the floor, you're basically 972 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, You're basically Mahomes. You're like, we can play 973 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: at pace, we can go and if we need to 974 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 1: slow it down into a half court set, that's fine, 975 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:34,120 Speaker 1: but we have flexibility. And when this year, for example, 976 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: and I know Aaron Nismith said they're still going to 977 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:40,840 Speaker 1: try to play at pace, but Rick Carlisle has essentially 978 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: said or insinuated that they are going to go into 979 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 1: more half court sets with more regularity than what we 980 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: were accustomed to a year ago. And that's an offense 981 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones, you have to be more intentional in 982 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Now. My question for you, Eddie is 983 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:07,319 Speaker 1: when you look at the lack of turnovers and the 984 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,799 Speaker 1: offensive efficiency that we saw out of Indianapolis in the 985 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 1: first three games. Is that because oh wow, Daniel Jones 986 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: is this super smart, efficient quarterback? Or is that because 987 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: Shane Steichen was saying, I'm picking this guy because he 988 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 1: allows me to be more intentional and conservative in the 989 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,959 Speaker 1: way I'm calling plays, So I am calling them more 990 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 1: strictly to suit his strengths and stay away and mask 991 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 1: his weakness. 992 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of both, because the 993 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 2: one thing that we always talked about as a weakness 994 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 2: for Daniel Jones going into the start of the season 995 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 2: was he just doesn't push the ball deep, and he's 996 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 2: been doing that. That's why the offense has been so efficient, 997 00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 2: is all the defenses have been playing him as trying 998 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 2: to take away what's underneath. 999 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: Which, again that goes back to Warren a lot, right, Yeah, 1000 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 1: because you got to keep an eye on. 1001 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 2: And so like that's why you see it shots Dlek Pierce. 1002 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,959 Speaker 2: That's why you've seen a deep shot to Michael Hitman Junior. 1003 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 2: That's why you've seen a mixed deep shot in there 1004 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 2: for Tyler Warren and how teams respond Now they have 1005 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 2: to honor it and it's going to open up things 1006 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 2: underneath for Josh Downs, Tyler Warren, Jonathan Taylor, who's been 1007 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 2: a big part of the passing game this year, and 1008 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 2: it'll help him in the run game as well. So 1009 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 2: I think it's all encompassing a part of Shane Styke 1010 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 2: and doing what works for Daniel Jones while also putting 1011 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 2: the playmakers around Daniel Jones in the position to succeed 1012 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 2: as well. 1013 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: So let me throw you this kind of weird theory, okay, 1014 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 1: and tell me if it makes sense. Which is a 1015 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 1: dangerous thing. When I'm about to say something, right, I 1016 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: realize like sometimes, yeah, you know, there are rabbit holes 1017 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 1: with my brain. I get that. 1018 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 2: No, they're not rabbit holes, they're creators. 1019 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 1: Thank you. Is it possible that the reason Shane Styken 1020 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 1: opted for Daniel Jones and I know that he says 1021 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: it's it's organizational, And he keeps going back to the 1022 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken keeps going back to with with any player 1023 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 1: that he's talking about, he keeps going back to the 1024 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 1: narrative of you know, hey, it's about what takes place 1025 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: in the building, It's about what takes place in the 1026 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 1: film room. 1027 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 6: You know. 1028 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 1: He said it at the receiver position this week about 1029 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: Adie Mitchell, And yesterday somebody got on me. They're like, 1030 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 1: why are we bringing up the Ady Mitchell story again. 1031 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, we're bringing it up again because it's topical 1032 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: again because the head coach has now admitted to or 1033 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: tipped his hand to the fact that this guy may 1034 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 1: be losing reps because of what happened in Los Angeles. 1035 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: And he kept going back to the part about organizationally, 1036 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 1: professionally approach all of those things. But is it possible 1037 00:59:53,960 --> 01:00:00,160 Speaker 1: that Shane Steiken selected Daniel Jones in the quarterback competition 1038 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 1: over Anthony Richardson not necessarily and entirely because of all 1039 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:15,200 Speaker 1: of those things, but rather because he, meaning Shane Stikeen 1040 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: knows that Anthony Richardson wouldn't tempt him too much. What 1041 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 1: do you mean, Anthony Richardson's strength as a quarterback is 1042 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: the long ball and the athleticism. Shane Stiken's strength as 1043 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 1: a coach is awakening things in a quarterback and being 1044 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:45,240 Speaker 1: unpredictable in terms of offensive play calling. But is it 1045 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 1: possible that Shane Styken looked at Anthony Richardson and knew 1046 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 1: and I mean this in a strong suit about Shane 1047 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Stykeen not as an indictment on him. But did Shane 1048 01:00:56,120 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 1: Stiken as a coach look at it and say, I 1049 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 1: have to trust my own instinct, and when it comes 1050 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:07,640 Speaker 1: to Anthony Richardson, I don't. And when I have him 1051 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 1: on the field, I become too tempted and I fall 1052 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: too much in love with the exceptions and the excitement 1053 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to the norm of what is efficient. And 1054 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 1: if I have Anthony Richardson as my quarterback, I'm going 1055 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 1: to be too tantalized by the sixty three yard pass 1056 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: play or the quarterback draw. And that's not the efficiency 1057 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 1: by which I want to run my offense. And now 1058 01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: that I have Tyler Warren, and now that I have 1059 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 1: a healthy Michael Pittman, and now that I have Jonathan 1060 01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Taylor that I'm going to work with in past plays 1061 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: out of the backfield, I need things to be more simplified. 1062 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 1: And if I have Anthony Richardson on the field, I'm 1063 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 1: going to complicate them because I myself as a play caller, 1064 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to be tantalized by the potential of the 1065 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 1: big play and not keeping myself self limited to what 1066 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,280 Speaker 1: is efficient and more simplistic. And as long as I 1067 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 1: have Daniel Jones as my quarterback. I know my own limitation, 1068 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 1: and thus I'm going to call a smarter. 1069 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:16,800 Speaker 2: Game probably, And he keeps going back to, you know, 1070 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 2: the operation of seeing everything and like how much did 1071 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 2: that the failed Bullitz pick up impact it? 1072 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Like did he just it's got to be huge, Eddie. 1073 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 2: It just felt like that even from that, even before that, Jake, 1074 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 2: that the thought was that Daniel Jones was going to 1075 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 2: be the starter and and Anthony Richinson had to prove 1076 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 2: that he was, you know, ready to be the starting quarterback. 1077 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: I saw it the other way around, though, in all honesty, 1078 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: and I know that you know clearly now I was wrong. 1079 01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: But I really did think, and I think most people 1080 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 1: did that when they signed Daniel Jones, that it was 1081 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: still and I remember saying this, I said it repeatedly 1082 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: on this show. I said, if Daniel Jones is the 1083 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,920 Speaker 1: starter week one, it's not mean to be because he 1084 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 1: won the job. It's because Anthony Richardson didn't. Because I 1085 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,439 Speaker 1: felt like their default all along was going to be 1086 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: the guy that they selected where they did, and that 1087 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: they were still trying to tap into that youth of 1088 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. But but I really do think that the 1089 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: that Shane Stiken, the more he saw Daniel Jones didn't 1090 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 1: do anything to blow anybody away in the preseason exactly. 1091 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 2: He didn't do anything to blow anyone away. But he 1092 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,960 Speaker 2: didn't do anything to blow it away. Correct that that's 1093 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 2: great to blow it up, right, Yeah? And I think 1094 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 2: I just think the more the more he saw it, 1095 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 2: the more Shane Stiken thought to himself, you know what 1096 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:52,919 Speaker 2: slow and steady wins the race? You know, to use 1097 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 2: a really bad analogy? Do I need to have the 1098 01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 2: sound already? 1099 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 1: I'll let you when I once I say the analogy. 1100 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 1: If it's a really bad one, Eddie, I will let 1101 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 1: you use the fish vacuum cleaner, bad analogy sounder? Okay, 1102 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 1: But when I was a kid bay back in my day, 1103 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: but years ago, in the Indianapolis five hundred mile race, 1104 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Buick was an engine manufacturer that was entered in the 1105 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 1: race predominantly in the late eighties, and Buick was unbelievably fast. 1106 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 1: The Buick engine had this horse power that was unbelievable, 1107 01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: and Jim Crawford ran a Buick and Roberto Guerrero set 1108 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 1: a poll record in the Buick and the Buick. You 1109 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 1: knew the Buick engine was flat out fast, but it 1110 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 1: never lasted five hundred miles until Allenser Senior did it 1111 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 1: once the anomaly in nineteen ninety two. He went all 1112 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 1: five hundred miles in the race in his Buick engine. 1113 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: But the reason that initially teams bought into the Buick 1114 01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: because they're like, the straight line speed of this thing 1115 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: is unbelievable, and its ability to pass is unbelievable. But 1116 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 1: as time went on they realized, but it's less reliable 1117 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: than an Illmore engine or one of the others that 1118 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: we can have to put inside of our car and 1119 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 1: lat because in order to win the race, you've got 1120 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 1: to finish the race, and you've got to be there, 1121 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 1: and you can't have mistakes that happen like an engine 1122 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: going out, an engine failure, or something that leads to 1123 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 1: a long pit stop over the course of time, because 1124 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,160 Speaker 1: while it might be sexier and it might be faster, 1125 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:34,760 Speaker 1: and it might jump out at you in terms of 1126 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the speed chart over the course of five hundred miles, 1127 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,680 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to go with what is 1128 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 1: more efficient and reliable. And so therefore nobody won the 1129 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:45,920 Speaker 1: race in the Buick because people got away from it 1130 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: because they realized that it never lasted the entire totality 1131 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: of the way. And it seems to me like perhaps 1132 01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken realize that Anthony Richardson was the Buick engine, faster, stronger, 1133 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: pop out at you. For sure, all the intangibles on paper, 1134 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,080 Speaker 1: but when it comes down to it, over the course 1135 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 1: in the totality of a four quarter game, little things 1136 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: pop up that either lead to a bad pit stop 1137 01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 1: or completely self inflicted. Can't last all five hundred miles 1138 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 1: and you're having to go to a backup engine anyway. 1139 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 1: And Daniel Jones, I think Daniel Jones is a you 1140 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 1: didn't play the bad news or the bad analogy sounder? 1141 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,720 Speaker 1: Does that mean you actually thought it was decent? Okay, 1142 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 1: thank you. I think Daniel Jones is a great story. 1143 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Nothing against Anthony Richardson at all. But when I go 1144 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 1: to Colts games, and I'll do it on I'll do 1145 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: it on Sunday. When I go to the game, one 1146 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 1: of the things I look for is I look for 1147 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 1: what jerseys people are wearing when they walk in the stadium. 1148 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: And you can tell there are certain franchises, as we've 1149 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: talked about, that you're like, man, that franchise isn't a 1150 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 1: world hurt because everybody walking into that stadium is wearing 1151 01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 1: a jersey of a guy that played fifteen years ago. 1152 01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: And when I walk into Colts games now, I'll probably 1153 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: see some Shack Leonard jerseys on Sunday, fitting because he's 1154 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,240 Speaker 1: going to have his retirement ceremony. But I'll probably see 1155 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 1: some Marvin Harrison jerseys and Reggie Wayne jerseys, and lord knows, 1156 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: you know a ton of Peyton Manning jerseys and Dallas 1157 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: Clark jerseys and Gary Brackett jerseys. Even more recently, dare 1158 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 1: I say it, maybe the occasional Andrew Luck jersey, Jack 1159 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 1: Doyle jersey, But what I have not seen necessarily is 1160 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 1: a Daniel Jones jersey. But Daniel Jones actually is probably 1161 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 1: the perfect jersey to wear if you are a fan 1162 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts, because he kind of represents Indianapolis 1163 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 1: in general, and that is the fact that you know, 1164 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 1: just kind of know who you are. And one of 1165 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 1: the things about this town that I love is we 1166 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: know who we are. We're proud of it, but we 1167 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 1: know who we are, right And I think Shane Steichen 1168 01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,480 Speaker 1: looked at him and so far, it's worked, and the 1169 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:57,960 Speaker 1: guy has been He doesn't say a lot. He's not 1170 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,800 Speaker 1: an overly, he has a cop, but it's about him. 1171 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 1: I think he had to earn the trust of the 1172 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,040 Speaker 1: rest of his teammates because he doesn't strike me as 1173 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that is walking into a you know, 1174 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,960 Speaker 1: operationally right. I don't think he's walking into a quarterback 1175 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 1: room like all right, fellas, let's go. I'm here, I'm 1176 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,439 Speaker 1: the guy. I don't think. I think he just comes in, 1177 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 1: does his job, gets there a little bit early, brings 1178 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 1: his playbook, knows it, and I think he earned the 1179 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 1: respect now of his teammates. And I think I think 1180 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 1: members of the cult really like Anthony Richardson as well. 1181 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 1: I don't think I think he's a bad guy at all. 1182 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there are probably some of 1183 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:39,639 Speaker 1: them that with Daniel Jones, you know, they it took 1184 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 1: him a while to really trust him and understand who 1185 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 1: he was and what he's all about. It's kind of 1186 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:52,560 Speaker 1: like something that happened to me in college. College is 1187 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: about learning life experience, which which time in college Jake, 1188 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,679 Speaker 1: excellent question. Excellent question, or talking about the one where 1189 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 1: you just go situated like two years ago or the 1190 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 1: first time when you went to Kansas and then came 1191 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: back home went t Have you ever seen video of 1192 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 1: the Hindenburg disaster? No? Okay, well, I mean it's terrible 1193 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,720 Speaker 1: because I think there were multiple fatalities, but it's the 1194 01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:17,600 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the led Zeppelin logo? Yeah? Okay? 1195 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: The Hindenburg disaster very representative of my freshman year of 1196 01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 1: college at the University of Kansas. But something did happen 1197 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 1: to me there that college is about life learning experiences, 1198 01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,640 Speaker 1: and I think I learned something and saw something that 1199 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:35,400 Speaker 1: allows me to better understand and appreciate the twenty twenty 1200 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 1: five Indianapolis Colts. So I'll explain what I'm talking about 1201 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,639 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor going to join us, coming up to thirty 1202 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 1: jt the Brick in thirty five minutes. But I will 1203 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 1: get into what that life lesson was and how it 1204 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 1: applies to Daniel Jones next. So this song, that's right, 1205 01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 1: Brass Monkey, you hear us reference And by the way, 1206 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,880 Speaker 1: Chicago's Pizza I said seventeen.

Eighteen of them, and 1208 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 1: every one of them is Awesome twenty five statewide and 1209 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,360 Speaker 1: Eddie you mentioned earlier, Love Heating and air lovedashhvac dot 1210 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 1: com three one seven, three five three twenty one forty one. 1211 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 1: They sponsored the Crossover Chat with jamb and I and 1212 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 1: you hear us talk about them a lot on this 1213 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: radio station. I grew up with John and Chris and 1214 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Chris Love in particular. Does if if anybody out there 1215 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 1: here my voice knows John or Chris Love in particular Chris, 1216 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 1: they're twins. He does the greatest dance to brass Monkey 1217 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 1: by the Beastie Boys that he invented in the eighth 1218 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,760 Speaker 1: grade of all time. If you're ever around Chris John 1219 01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: Love and just say look and put brass Monkey on 1220 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:49,920 Speaker 1: your phone that song, and he will do the greatest 1221 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,639 Speaker 1: dance you've ever seen. For what that's worth. So when 1222 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: I was in college, I was a freshman in college 1223 01:10:57,520 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 1: at the University of Kansas, and I went out when 1224 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 1: I was a senior in high school. And this was 1225 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 1: actually probably one of the biggest mistakes in my life. 1226 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,679 Speaker 1: But again, college is about learning, right, It's about learning 1227 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 1: life lessons, it's about it's about so much more than 1228 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 1: the academics of it. I think the biggest thing you 1229 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 1: learn in college is just about people. But when I 1230 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 1: was a senior in high school and I went out 1231 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,960 Speaker 1: to visit Kansas, I met a couple of guys that 1232 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:35,840 Speaker 1: were part of a fraternity there and they're like, hey, 1233 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 1: do you want to You know, we want you in 1234 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 1: our fraternity. And so I thought, Okay, great, you know 1235 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:41,759 Speaker 1: this is gonna be great. I can have friends right away. 1236 01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 1: And so instead of organically going through what most kids 1237 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 1: do in college and living in the dorms, I went 1238 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,639 Speaker 1: immediately into it right away. When I when my parents 1239 01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,280 Speaker 1: dropped me off for college, I was living in a 1240 01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: fraternity house. I was a pledge in the fight out 1241 01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 1: to day of fraternity and so, and my parents now 1242 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,720 Speaker 1: have told me that when they were driving away, they 1243 01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: like were on I seventy before they'd even got into 1244 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and I think both of them looked at 1245 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: each other and said, this is not going to go well. 1246 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,120 Speaker 1: And I've always appreciated that, even though they knew that 1247 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: I had to go through that on my own. I 1248 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: had to learn that on my own. But when we 1249 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: were so I get there and as a pledge class, 1250 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: you know, we were there like two weeks before school 1251 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 1: before classes started, so we had to do all the 1252 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: things that you do when you were a pledge and apporternity. 1253 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,720 Speaker 1: We're getting up every morning and cleaning the house and 1254 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 1: brass swing doorknobs and landscaping. I mean it was. It 1255 01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 1: was brutal and the whole you know, I have no 1256 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: idea we can do a whole different talk show on 1257 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:48,120 Speaker 1: what the purpose of those things are. But nonetheless, But 1258 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,759 Speaker 1: so that was before the classes began, and then once 1259 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 1: school began, they added two members to our pledge class. 1260 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,360 Speaker 1: So these two guys show up and our pledge class 1261 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 1: and we've now got to continue doing all the same stuff. 1262 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: But there's these two new guys that they're like, okay, 1263 01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:14,519 Speaker 1: these are your teammates. Now what So one day and 1264 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: like we hadn't had much sleep and whatever else. And 1265 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 1: I remember one day one of these two guys said 1266 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,680 Speaker 1: or did something I didn't like whatever, and I completely 1267 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:28,800 Speaker 1: snapped and I'm like, look, you know, I don't know 1268 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,720 Speaker 1: who you think you are. But we've been in here 1269 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,680 Speaker 1: toiling this whole time. We've been working hard, we've been 1270 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,360 Speaker 1: doing all this stuff. We've had to go all through 1271 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: all this stuff for like a month before. You guys 1272 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,360 Speaker 1: just got air dropped in and we're told now that 1273 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 1: you're like part of our pledge class. Well, you're not 1274 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,519 Speaker 1: part of the pledge class in my opinion, because look 1275 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:47,720 Speaker 1: at everything we've gone through and what you're just going 1276 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 1: to walk in now and be air dropped in and 1277 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,640 Speaker 1: soak in the fun of being a part of this class. 1278 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 1: And we had to kind of work our way through that. 1279 01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, whatever I think with Daniel Jones, 1280 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: I can now see. I think it took a slower 1281 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 1: period because the Colts in general, and through the Anthony 1282 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:13,600 Speaker 1: Richardson experience and experiment to an extent, the rest of 1283 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 1: the roster was trying so hard to and I think 1284 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 1: they like Anthony Richardson. I mean, I think he's a 1285 01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,880 Speaker 1: likable guy, but they wanted so badly for it to 1286 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 1: work with Anthony Richardson that they went through all the riggers, 1287 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 1: all the growing pains, all the ups and downs and 1288 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,160 Speaker 1: the yo yo and the scrutiny and the and everything 1289 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,120 Speaker 1: that comes with having a young quarterback that you're trying 1290 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 1: to build around, you're trying to win for, and then 1291 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:37,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy just comes in in 1292 01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and it's like, wait a minute, We've gone 1293 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 1: through all this other stuff. Who are you You think 1294 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 1: you're just gonna come in and like just because you 1295 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 1: sign a contract now all of a sudden, like you're 1296 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: the guy that's going that we've all got to just 1297 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 1: accept as the same members of the foundation of the 1298 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 1: rest of this pledge class. And yet Daniel Jones just 1299 01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:03,679 Speaker 1: like like Blake and Richter, those are the two guys' names. 1300 01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,200 Speaker 1: I won't say first or last names, but those two guys. 1301 01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 1: Eventually I realized that it was it was on me. 1302 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 1: I was the one being immature. And I'm not saying 1303 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 1: the Colts players are being immature. I'm saying once I 1304 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: really looked at their situation and realized that they didn't 1305 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 1: It wasn't their fault that they were added late or 1306 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,040 Speaker 1: whatever else, then I was like, you know what, I 1307 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: get it, and so we kind of found the common 1308 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: ground and they became great. I mean, they were great guys, 1309 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: great guys. I think in sport in general, it represents 1310 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,400 Speaker 1: life and the fact that when you go through something 1311 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:41,840 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, there's like, you know, 1312 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 1: everybody has that coworker that like you know, did you 1313 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 1: hear they just hired a new guy in accounting, This 1314 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 1: Mark guy. I don't know anything about him, but like, 1315 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,080 Speaker 1: and for the first couple of weeks, people are like, Oh, 1316 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 1: that's the new guy. You know, that's the guy they 1317 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: let Bill go. And then Mark's in here and then 1318 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 1: you work with him and you're like, you know what, 1319 01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 1: this guy's a good guy. Like here's what he brings 1320 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: to the table, and you know, wow, he's really good 1321 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,639 Speaker 1: at this or that. And I think that acclamation period 1322 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 1: had to happen for the Colts, to be honest with you, 1323 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,519 Speaker 1: and I think it took place over the course of 1324 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 1: training camp and a lot of Daniel Jones. The credit 1325 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones is the fact that I don't think 1326 01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,439 Speaker 1: he came in with a all right new sheriff in 1327 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 1: town guys. He he just seems to be a more understated, 1328 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,800 Speaker 1: quiet guy, professional and he himself had kind of gone 1329 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,560 Speaker 1: through his own PTSD in New York with the Giants, 1330 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 1: and he was basically the thing I think that we 1331 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,439 Speaker 1: forget is that Daniel Jones is the New York Giants 1332 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. I mean, he's the guy in New York, 1333 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,880 Speaker 1: right now, I guarantee you on sports talk radio people 1334 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 1: are like, you know, for three years they were having 1335 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 1: the conversation about Daniel Jones that we've been having about 1336 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson of like, yeah, we see the glimpses, we 1337 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 1: see the flashes, but when's it all going to come together? 1338 01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: And I think he came in here knowing that that 1339 01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 1: oddity of he could relate to what Richardson was going through, 1340 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:03,679 Speaker 1: but he also knew that like it was brass tax 1341 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: time and get down to it, and he's got an 1342 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,400 Speaker 1: opportunity here, and he's got a second lease and he's 1343 01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 1: and I think it took a while, but I think 1344 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the roster, the rest of the franchise, 1345 01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:18,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the locker room realize that over the 1346 01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 1: course of time by just watching how he goes about things. 1347 01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,599 Speaker 1: And that's what Shane Steichen talks about when he says 1348 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,640 Speaker 1: it's about operational, it's about what takes place above and 1349 01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 1: beyond what does he say, it's beyond what takes place 1350 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 1: on the field. It's the analysis and the acclamation period 1351 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: of just people of new face, new new change, and 1352 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: then putting yourself in the situation and the position of 1353 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 1: thinking about what their standpoint is, what their viewpoint is, 1354 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 1: and I think the rest of the roster when they've 1355 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 1: done that with Jones, they've said, you know what, I 1356 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 1: get it now, and he's earned the respect of his teammates, 1357 01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 1: and I would like to think that he has a 1358 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:04,679 Speaker 1: I think most people now are on board. And Eddie, 1359 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 1: we were coming off a game where he had two 1360 01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,720 Speaker 1: turnovers and they lost, and we'll see again if that's 1361 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 1: the anomaly. But if it is and he continues to 1362 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,559 Speaker 1: play like he did the first three weeks over the 1363 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 1: course of time, I do think it is possible that 1364 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,080 Speaker 1: a guy that was I think theoretically brought in to 1365 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:25,799 Speaker 1: push Richardson may in fact they found their answer beyond 1366 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 1: this year. But that all comes into negotiation because he's 1367 01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 1: getting ready to go into a year with a new contract, 1368 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:39,479 Speaker 1: not unlike a new contract for an entire league of players, 1369 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: of which the straw mixing all of that negotiation is 1370 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: literally like six blocks from where we are right now. 1371 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:51,600 Speaker 1: And that athlete talked about it earlier today and we 1372 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 1: now can play that for you, which we will do next. 1373 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 1: And JT the brick from the Raiders standpoint in twenty 1374 01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: so the players of the WNBA don't just want their MTV, 1375 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: they want their fair share in the WNBA. That's the reality. 1376 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,200 Speaker 1: And as I mentioned earlier, I think what we are 1377 01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 1: seeing here and again, to put it in a cliff 1378 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 1: note version, the players of the WNBA have a collective 1379 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:21,040 Speaker 1: bargaining agreement, the Players Association. That is the agreement that 1380 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 1: was settled upon with the ownership groups of the WNBA 1381 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: in terms of the amount that they're get paid the 1382 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:33,479 Speaker 1: television contracts, et cetera. That collective bargaining agreement is set 1383 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:40,719 Speaker 1: to expire in twenty twenty seven, but the both sides 1384 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:47,040 Speaker 1: have agreed to a new negotiation because of new television revenue, 1385 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:54,480 Speaker 1: sponsorship revenue, et cetera. And that negotiation has a deadline 1386 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,840 Speaker 1: of the end of this month. So they are right 1387 01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:00,599 Speaker 1: now in the midst of negotiating a new on tract 1388 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 1: between the WNBA owners and the league itself and the 1389 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 1: players Association. The players are looking for the same thing 1390 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 1: that most people are in their place of employment. More money, 1391 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,480 Speaker 1: better benefits, more coverage for things like you know, obviously 1392 01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, childcare, maternity leave, those sorts of things. Okay, 1393 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: in the last week, what we have seen is one 1394 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,240 Speaker 1: of the WNBA's biggest stars. Nafisa Collier holding a press 1395 01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 1: conference in her player exit interview and discussing and bringing 1396 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 1: to attention some of her what she believes to be 1397 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: a league wide frustration with, notably the commissioner of the WNBA, 1398 01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:54,000 Speaker 1: Kathy Engelbert, and she brought Caitlin Clark's name into the equation. 1399 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 1: Here is Nafisa Collier with that statement, if you will, 1400 01:20:58,600 --> 01:20:59,519 Speaker 1: earlier this week. 1401 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 5: This past February, I sat across from Kathy and asked 1402 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 5: how she planned to address the officiating issues in our league. 1403 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,759 Speaker 5: Her response was, will only the losers complain about the refs? 1404 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,559 Speaker 5: I also asked how she planned to fix the fact 1405 01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 5: that players like Caitlin Angel and Page, who are clearly 1406 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,360 Speaker 5: driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little 1407 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:22,040 Speaker 5: for their first four years. Her response was, Caitlyn should 1408 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 5: be grateful she makes sixty million off the court, because 1409 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,719 Speaker 5: without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't 1410 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,720 Speaker 5: make anything. And in that same conversation, she told me 1411 01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 5: players should be on their knees thanking they're lucky stars 1412 01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 5: for the media right steal that I got them. 1413 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 1: So Caitlyn Clark today talked and again she is an 1414 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 1: epicenter piece of all of this because of the revenue 1415 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,600 Speaker 1: that probably is attached to her transcendently. But this is 1416 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark's reaction, if you will, to the statements from 1417 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:56,799 Speaker 1: or the statement from the FISA Collier. 1418 01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 7: First of all, I have a lot of great respect 1419 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 7: for fee and I think she made a lot of 1420 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 7: very valid points. And you know, I think what people 1421 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 7: need to understand, you know, we need great leadership in 1422 01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,240 Speaker 7: this time across all levels. This is straight up the 1423 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 7: most important moment in this league's history, what this league's 1424 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,800 Speaker 7: been around for twenty five plus years, and this is 1425 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:19,960 Speaker 7: a moment we have to capitalize on. So that's honestly 1426 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,960 Speaker 7: what I would say. I think there's you know, FISA 1427 01:22:21,960 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 7: at all with what she said. And you know, I 1428 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,840 Speaker 7: think the points she made were very valid. 1429 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: Okay, the other thing that was addressed there, and I 1430 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,639 Speaker 1: get it. What we are seeing here before our very 1431 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 1: eyes is no different than what you see at times 1432 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 1: in the NFL or the NBA. The NFL and the 1433 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 1: NBA have billions, billions of dollars of television contract and 1434 01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: we long ago accepted it was a massive deal when 1435 01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,800 Speaker 1: George Foster got a multimillion dollar contract for the New 1436 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: York Mets. It was a massive deal with Nolan Ryan 1437 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,000 Speaker 1: made a million dollars a year in Major League Baseball. 1438 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,600 Speaker 1: Those contracts and those salaries now within the NFL, in 1439 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: the NBA. You know, I remember Eric Dickerson walking off 1440 01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,320 Speaker 1: the field as a cult saying they're paying me a 1441 01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,799 Speaker 1: million dollars a year to carry the ball thirteen times 1442 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 1: when he was frustrated with his touches. But even then, 1443 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,360 Speaker 1: but since then, the numbers have gone astronomical. So we 1444 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 1: already long ago were almost desensitized as a fan base 1445 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 1: to the money that's thrown around amongst those leagues. It 1446 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 1: is new to us to think of the money that 1447 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:38,640 Speaker 1: is involved within the Women's National Basketball Association the WNBA, 1448 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,679 Speaker 1: But the revenue is now starting to increase in terms 1449 01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 1: of the amount that's within the pot to be divvied up. 1450 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: So what we are seeing before our very eyes is 1451 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: a public tug of war for positioning between the commissioner, 1452 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 1: whose job it is to represent the owners and get 1453 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: the best deal for them, and the players whose job 1454 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 1: it is as an association to make sure they're getting 1455 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:08,200 Speaker 1: the best deal as well, this is a public power 1456 01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 1: play right before our very eyes. The one thing amongst 1457 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 1: many you could say, where Kathy Engelbert aired in my opinion, 1458 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 1: was when she talks about and brings into play the 1459 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 1: notion that the WNBA is the vehicle by which Caitlin 1460 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: Clark is able to make a lot of money. The 1461 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: reality is Caitlin Clark is the vehicle by which the 1462 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,000 Speaker 1: w NBA is allowed to make a lot of money. 1463 01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 1: And that goes no further than to look at the attention. 1464 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark was already a transcendent name and star within 1465 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: sports in this country, not women's sports sports when she 1466 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,799 Speaker 1: was at the University of Iowa. She was a major 1467 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,840 Speaker 1: star at Iowa when the dots were connected that she 1468 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 1: was going to become a member of the Indiana Fever. 1469 01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:06,160 Speaker 1: We sat, I did with Jimmy Cook, Eddie you were here. 1470 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:11,559 Speaker 1: We sat at the NFL combine with writers from the 1471 01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,479 Speaker 1: NFL and did an entire show that day talking about 1472 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,559 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. Scott Long came on to talk about how 1473 01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 1: she's the tailor swift to basketball. All of that from 1474 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,760 Speaker 1: the NFL draft because she was already that transcendent a 1475 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 1: star at Iowa, and the thought that the WNBA is 1476 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 1: what is the vehicle in the platform that allows her 1477 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: to make that money is ludicrous. Caitlin Clark could be 1478 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: playing right now in one of the other league's Ice 1479 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 1: Cubes League or whatever that she got invited to play into, 1480 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 1: and she would be making the same level of endorsement money. 1481 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 1: Here's Caitlyn Clark addressing that aspect of this conversation. 1482 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 7: I think that's probably the way in which the league 1483 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,599 Speaker 7: has probably changed over the course of the last few years. 1484 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,559 Speaker 7: You know, these kids and what they're making in college 1485 01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 7: these days is pretty insane. It's honestly, probably more than 1486 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 7: what I made. Obviously, a lot has changed even since 1487 01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:06,840 Speaker 7: I've graduated, so I'm not one hundred percent up to 1488 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 7: date on the exact numbers of what college kids are making. 1489 01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 7: But you know, obviously I was very fortunate after my 1490 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 7: freshman year of college. That's when I began working with 1491 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 7: you know, different brands, and you began working with Nike, 1492 01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,759 Speaker 7: and you know, everybody knows my first and ile deals 1493 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 7: with HIV, the greatest grocery chain of all time based 1494 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 7: in Des Moines and Iowa. A baby so best chocolate 1495 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:33,760 Speaker 7: long John's around. But you know, I think that's the 1496 01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 7: way in which, like, you know, people, young women are 1497 01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 7: coming into this league now with that type of you know, 1498 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 7: I don't even want to say it's money, but they're 1499 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 7: beginning to build their brands in college and then they're 1500 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 7: bringing that to the WNBA. So I think that's just 1501 01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 7: a way in which the league has changed and will 1502 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,759 Speaker 7: continue to evolve. And like back to my main point. 1503 01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 7: You know, like I said, we are in the biggest 1504 01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 7: moment in WNBA history. There's no denying that. Everybody knows that, 1505 01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 7: and everybody that's in a place in power has a 1506 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 7: true responsibility, and even myself, we have a responsibility to 1507 01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 7: make sure that this game and is in a great 1508 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 7: place going forward with the CBA and you know, caring 1509 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 7: for our players and you know, building this league to 1510 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,479 Speaker 7: make sure it's in a great spot for many years 1511 01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,720 Speaker 7: to come. Because you all know, I grew up as 1512 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,360 Speaker 7: a huge fan of this league and I'm going to 1513 01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 7: do everything I can to make this the league that 1514 01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 7: you know, a five year old, a ten year old, 1515 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 7: a fifteen year old, a girl in college is really 1516 01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:35,120 Speaker 7: proud of to come into and to be able to 1517 01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 7: put a WNBA uniform on, and you know, that's what 1518 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 7: they dream of and then hopefully they can accomplish that 1519 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 7: goal because that's exactly who I was, and that's you know, 1520 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:44,760 Speaker 7: really at the end of the day, like I hope 1521 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 7: that's what my legacy can be, is just how I 1522 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 7: impacted the impacted people to be able to to maybe 1523 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 7: want to be in the WNBA, but to really just 1524 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:53,880 Speaker 7: achieve whatever they want to achieve. 1525 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 1: And again, and by the way, Longs Donuts Hive is 1526 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,800 Speaker 1: a pretty good grocery store, but Long's Doughnuts probably make 1527 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: the best donuts or chocolate Long John's or whatever it 1528 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 1: was she said there. But the point taken, yes, she 1529 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 1: is correct. She was making that money at Iowa. I 1530 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 1: remember the Iowa IndyCar Race when she was a Hawkeye, 1531 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,720 Speaker 1: and I'm there at the race and they're like, oh, 1532 01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is here. Oh okay, yeah, she's here on 1533 01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 1: behalf of High Ve. And at that time, I'm thinking, really, 1534 01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 1: but that was right when nil began and she was 1535 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: already the face of High Ve. And then you get 1536 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:41,120 Speaker 1: into Nike and Gatorade and the rest of them, and 1537 01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:45,559 Speaker 1: that was when she was a college basketball player and 1538 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,760 Speaker 1: I get the fact that the w NBA has to 1539 01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 1: present themselves as you know, please be aware of or 1540 01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:58,680 Speaker 1: understand what we are doing for you the athlete. But 1541 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 1: at this point the Fleet is correct in saying no, no, no, Now, 1542 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,400 Speaker 1: it's about what we are doing for you the league. 1543 01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:08,760 Speaker 2: And mainly what she has done for the league. 1544 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:09,200 Speaker 4: Correct. 1545 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:13,280 Speaker 2: Just look at the past year, two years. Well, you've 1546 01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 2: got Caitlyn Clark in the Indiana Fever playing an NBA arena. 1547 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:21,880 Speaker 1: Correct, And the the yes, the television numbers alone, the 1548 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 1: television ratings alone, are you know, she is in fact 1549 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 1: and you know what a big thing happened this year, 1550 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,519 Speaker 1: and the fact that look at what how far her 1551 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,559 Speaker 1: team went when she was out, And I mean that 1552 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,240 Speaker 1: is a credit to people still paid attention, Yes, because 1553 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:43,040 Speaker 1: the people were now introduced to the rest of that 1554 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:47,519 Speaker 1: roster because of Caitlyn Clark, and so people realize, oh, wow, 1555 01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:49,800 Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell is really exciting to watch. And that then, 1556 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,240 Speaker 1: by the way, the best to her on the recovery 1557 01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:55,680 Speaker 1: of what turned out to be beyond just cramping. But 1558 01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, a complex issue. I think Ralph Friefel joined 1559 01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 1: us early next week and we'll get more into what 1560 01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 1: that could mean long term for Kelsey Mitchell in terms 1561 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: of the injury, and credit to that phenomenal training staff 1562 01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,920 Speaker 1: for recognizing early what could have been worse. But you know, 1563 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,760 Speaker 1: Kelsey Mitchell and Odyssey Simms and Leah Boston and the 1564 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: rest of the players in the league. People looked at 1565 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,559 Speaker 1: it now and they're like, oh wow. You know, I 1566 01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 1: might go into the hive for the Long John's chocolate donuts, 1567 01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 1: but then I realized there's a whole bunch of other 1568 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:30,040 Speaker 1: stuff in this grocery store I really like. And that's 1569 01:30:30,080 --> 01:30:33,639 Speaker 1: what's happened. JT. Brick, works Radio for the Raiders, joins 1570 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:38,880 Speaker 1: us to talk about Raiders Colts next two o'clock in Indianapolis, 1571 01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 1: but that matter, it's two o'clock everywhere in the Eastern 1572 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 1: time zone.

Our next guest needs 1577 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: no introduction, but I will provide one. Nonetheless. He is 1578 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,880 Speaker 1: with Raider Nation Radio n twenty AM in Las Vegas, 1579 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:05,360 Speaker 1: but he is also synonymous with Sports Talk Radio. He 1580 01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,720 Speaker 1: does a daily show from noon until two, Vegas time. 1581 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:12,360 Speaker 1: JT the Brick joins us to talk about the upcoming matchup. JT, 1582 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:13,040 Speaker 1: how are you. 1583 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me? Buckle up your audience. This is 1584 01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:20,679 Speaker 4: nothing less than a must win for the Raider nation. 1585 01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:25,800 Speaker 4: We have our back against the wall on steroids. We 1586 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,800 Speaker 4: have to win this game. We have to win this. 1587 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,479 Speaker 4: I'm not into this must win blah blah blah. Must win. 1588 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:36,200 Speaker 4: If Raiders lose one in four with guys like Max Crosby, 1589 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:42,040 Speaker 4: Rock Bowers, Ashton Jenky, Pete Carroll, our new minority owner, 1590 01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 4: Tom Brady, this was not expected. And we're going up 1591 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:50,240 Speaker 4: against Daniel Jones. We got Geno Smith, who's always been 1592 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:54,640 Speaker 4: better than Daniel Jones until this year. Mysteriously, Raiders have 1593 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 4: got to get out of Lucas Oil with a win. 1594 01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's begin with Gino Smith, because I j T. 1595 01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, and you and I 1596 01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:06,759 Speaker 1: talked yesterday, and I think Daniel Jones to some extent, 1597 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:09,800 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of people here would like to 1598 01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,800 Speaker 1: see a Geno Smith thing. And what I mean by 1599 01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,800 Speaker 1: that was change of scenery. Suddenly you realize a guy 1600 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 1: was better than perhaps what his first opportunity showed for him. 1601 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:22,240 Speaker 1: But Gino Smith is now turning the football over again. 1602 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,400 Speaker 1: What is it about, whether it be schematically or just 1603 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:28,799 Speaker 1: Smith himself that has caused him now to be prone 1604 01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:29,800 Speaker 1: to throwing the ball away? 1605 01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,960 Speaker 4: Great question. You know we opened up Raiders opened up 1606 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:36,320 Speaker 4: in New England and he was really good. So his 1607 01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:39,120 Speaker 4: first game with the Raiders got off great in a 1608 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,560 Speaker 4: rain game outdoors, because Gino is a different quarterback indoors 1609 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 4: than outdoors. Believe it or not, he played in Seattle 1610 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:47,640 Speaker 4: or he's made his bones, so he's supposed to be 1611 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:52,639 Speaker 4: good indoors. But as Tampa two two high safety scheme 1612 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 4: that teams have been running at him or a safety 1613 01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,639 Speaker 4: comes down in the box and tricks him, he's been 1614 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,559 Speaker 4: thrown into tight window. And you know this, if you're 1615 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,720 Speaker 4: throwing to a guy who's open, you're not gonna throw 1616 01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 4: interceptions because guys are open unless it's a deflection or 1617 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:11,120 Speaker 4: a pit ball. Gino's trying to hit these guys in 1618 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,519 Speaker 4: tight windows, and when he's doing it, he's just off. 1619 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 4: He's just off by half a second. And his safeties 1620 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,519 Speaker 4: have been making pretty good plays on him, So no 1621 01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 4: excuses here. The thing that Jake which is troublesome to 1622 01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:29,160 Speaker 4: me is he's such a good player when he's in 1623 01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:32,040 Speaker 4: a common environment and he's got a little bit of protection. 1624 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 4: The bad news for the Raiders going into this game 1625 01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:37,920 Speaker 4: is that Colt Miller's down and he's one of our 1626 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 4: best players since Oakland. He's He's a left tackle who 1627 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 4: should have been a Pro Bowler. He's just one of 1628 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 4: the top five left tackles in football. He just went down. 1629 01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 4: He went on ir and now it's going to be 1630 01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:51,320 Speaker 4: really tough to fill his needs. But the Raiders are 1631 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 4: coming off a game against the Bears where Pete Carroll, 1632 01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 4: who I interview exclusively every week, told me one of 1633 01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:59,559 Speaker 4: the first times he looked at the tape and said, man, 1634 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,160 Speaker 4: we play well. We lost by one point on a 1635 01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:04,559 Speaker 4: block kick. It happens Indy had the same issue on 1636 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,040 Speaker 4: the leverage play against Denver. But Pete's pretty excited that 1637 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,920 Speaker 4: he's starting to see the team he wants to see. 1638 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,599 Speaker 4: But they got to get a win because now now 1639 01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:16,400 Speaker 4: it's hitting to the point where Raider Nation and Raider Nation, 1640 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 4: with all due respect to the Colts fans Raider Nation 1641 01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 4: can get a little bit more angry than the nice 1642 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,840 Speaker 4: people of the Midwest at Indy, And that's what I'm 1643 01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:25,840 Speaker 4: fighting off right now. 1644 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:28,360 Speaker 1: You know, It's fun Actually it's funny JT. Because when 1645 01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:33,519 Speaker 1: the Raiders, you know, when they moved there, I remember 1646 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:37,400 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, I still think of the Raiders obviously 1647 01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 1: of like you know, black Hole Oakland Raider Nation, and 1648 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:42,040 Speaker 1: I know they were in LA too, but I'm like, 1649 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:44,000 Speaker 1: if there was one place for them to move that 1650 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:46,960 Speaker 1: just seems perfect. It's Vegas, right, I mean, just Vegas. 1651 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:51,400 Speaker 1: Everything about Vegas and the Raiders just seems to fit. Right. 1652 01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:56,040 Speaker 1: But and in terms of this roster, let's talk about 1653 01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:59,360 Speaker 1: Ashton Gent because now he's starting to fit. I think 1654 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,880 Speaker 1: he's starting show what we expected to see out of 1655 01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:06,280 Speaker 1: him when they took him. But are they just now 1656 01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:10,639 Speaker 1: starting to more incorporate him because he's gotten his footing 1657 01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,880 Speaker 1: or is it because of necessity because they're having to 1658 01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,719 Speaker 1: kind of take things away a little bit from Geno 1659 01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:20,879 Speaker 1: Smith's danger situations of dangerous passing situation. 1660 01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,920 Speaker 4: No, they tried him every which way. It's really simple 1661 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,400 Speaker 4: to compare it to Jonathan Taylor who's a great player. 1662 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 4: And you've been through this with Jonathan Taylor over his careers. 1663 01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:34,160 Speaker 4: If the holes are open, he's gone. If the holes 1664 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 4: aren't open, he's not. And with Ashton Genty, it's been 1665 01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 4: hit or miss. The games where he's had holes to hit, 1666 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:44,680 Speaker 4: he's hit him beautifully. Like Ryan Clark took such a 1667 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 4: deep thirty hit at Ashton Genty a couple of weeks 1668 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 4: ago on ESPN where he said he didn't have the 1669 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 4: hit factor. And I don't mind Ryan Clark overall, but 1670 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 4: it was such a dirty, cheap hit on a kid 1671 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,799 Speaker 4: who couldn't get back to the line of scrimmage because 1672 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,240 Speaker 4: the offensive line couldn't get him a hole, so he 1673 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,559 Speaker 4: was getting blown up. Well, look at the tape of 1674 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,000 Speaker 4: last game. He hits the hole and he's gone, and 1675 01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,040 Speaker 4: he's making plays in the passing game. So it is 1676 01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,040 Speaker 4: a good example in this game here. I don't know 1677 01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:15,919 Speaker 4: how great the Colts' front is, but the Raiders offensive 1678 01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:18,320 Speaker 4: line played really well last week and it's about time 1679 01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 4: they've been awful. If they can get him to the 1680 01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,559 Speaker 4: second level on some linebackers, Genty'll make guys miss and 1681 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:28,000 Speaker 4: also truck a safety and he'll run over a corner. 1682 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,599 Speaker 4: But I mean, you got to be licking your chops 1683 01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,920 Speaker 4: in Indy because if you look at the tape, half 1684 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 4: of the plays or three quarters of gen D's attempts 1685 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 4: has been a defensive tackle hitting him two yards deep 1686 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,840 Speaker 4: and blowing him up. And if that happens again, it 1687 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,880 Speaker 4: puts Gino in third and nine, third and eleven, third 1688 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:49,960 Speaker 4: and twelve. And the real bummer about this going into 1689 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 4: this game is Brock Bowers because he's gonna play. And 1690 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:55,280 Speaker 4: I wish you guys could see Brock Bowers for the 1691 01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:59,760 Speaker 4: first time at one hundred percent, because it is fascinating 1692 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,519 Speaker 4: to see this guy play. What a gift from God 1693 01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 4: that the Raiders got brought Bowers in the draft a 1694 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:06,920 Speaker 4: couple of years ago. But he'll have a knee brace 1695 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,320 Speaker 4: on and he hasn't been able to click just yet. 1696 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because JT, the brick by the 1697 01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,680 Speaker 1: way out in Vegas is our guest. I think to 1698 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 1: an extent, what Colts fans would like to think JT 1699 01:37:17,760 --> 01:37:21,759 Speaker 1: is that they have seen a version of Brock Bowers, 1700 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:23,679 Speaker 1: and they've seen it in the form of Tyler Warren. 1701 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,760 Speaker 1: Because I think that's obviously what Indianapolis. The blueprint was 1702 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:29,439 Speaker 1: kind of there. In terms of Brock Bowers. I wanted 1703 01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 1: you to speak to our audience about, you know, Tyler 1704 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,040 Speaker 1: Warren and the ability to have that kind of a 1705 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,720 Speaker 1: tight end and what it does to your offense to 1706 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:43,080 Speaker 1: kind of soften a defense. You've seen it with Bowers 1707 01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 1: when he is at one hundred percent. How much of 1708 01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:48,879 Speaker 1: a game changer is that to the versatility of your offense. 1709 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's incredible. It's a great question because Bowers is 1710 01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,639 Speaker 4: a new version of that. I'll take it out even 1711 01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 4: further than George Gittle because when the Niners had good 1712 01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:00,080 Speaker 4: receivers at one hundred percent, when Brandon Ayuk was playing 1713 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:03,080 Speaker 4: at a very high level, and they just had receivers 1714 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,680 Speaker 4: who are really good and then a great tight end, 1715 01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 4: it changes everything. The Raiders have Jacoby Myers, who is 1716 01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,920 Speaker 4: a very good number two. Trey Tucker had a three 1717 01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,559 Speaker 4: touchdown game early. He's a pretty good player, but not 1718 01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:19,240 Speaker 4: super elite. Now with Pittman and Warren, if you had 1719 01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:22,439 Speaker 4: another receiver like a t Higgins, per Se or just 1720 01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 4: another store, it just opens up everything because you have 1721 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:29,519 Speaker 4: to decide on doubling the tight end like Travis Kelcey 1722 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,160 Speaker 4: in his prime, you had to double him and that 1723 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:35,439 Speaker 4: opens it up for a receiver. So for Brock, they're 1724 01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:37,920 Speaker 4: not doubling him here so far this year because he's 1725 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:40,639 Speaker 4: just not one hundred percent when he is and they 1726 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:43,160 Speaker 4: double him, then it opens up lanes for the running 1727 01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:46,360 Speaker 4: game and it gets another receiver in single coverage. So 1728 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:49,000 Speaker 4: I think the Colt's got to be really happy that 1729 01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:51,720 Speaker 4: they have an elite young tight end that can open 1730 01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 4: up the game, and especially in the red zone, because 1731 01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:56,599 Speaker 4: I lose my mind. I do the pre and post 1732 01:38:57,000 --> 01:38:58,680 Speaker 4: a lot of other things for the Raiders, and the 1733 01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:01,880 Speaker 4: only thing that bothers me in game is when they 1734 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,280 Speaker 4: get away from Bowers. Like last week, we had a 1735 01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,479 Speaker 4: first in goal on the seven against the Bears to 1736 01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,639 Speaker 4: go up two scores, to go up nine, the game 1737 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,599 Speaker 4: would have been over. On first and goal from the seven, 1738 01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:17,720 Speaker 4: they ran genty into the pile for a one yard loss. 1739 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,880 Speaker 4: On second and eight they ran genty into the pile 1740 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,160 Speaker 4: for a three yard loss. Then it was third in 1741 01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 4: goal from like the thirteen or fourteen, and they didn't 1742 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:29,640 Speaker 4: even look at Bowers who was wide open. Look at 1743 01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,720 Speaker 4: the tape in the corner of the end zone. They 1744 01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:35,320 Speaker 4: checked down underneath to Dante Thornton. He dropped the ball. 1745 01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:37,439 Speaker 4: It was a catchable ball. The Raiders kick a field 1746 01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,519 Speaker 4: goal end up losing to the Bears when they had 1747 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 4: the kill shot right there to put the game away, 1748 01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,280 Speaker 4: and they didn't give it to Bowers. And I'm going 1749 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,240 Speaker 4: to say the same thing about Warren with you down 1750 01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,559 Speaker 4: the road. When you have an opportunity to get the 1751 01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,439 Speaker 4: ball to Warren at the five yard line, you better 1752 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:54,760 Speaker 4: do it because he's an elite player who can make 1753 01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:56,080 Speaker 4: a play. You know. 1754 01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:58,080 Speaker 1: Actually, what happened at the end of that game, JT. 1755 01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:00,000 Speaker 1: I think you jinxed it because you sent a tweet 1756 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:01,840 Speaker 1: and said the Raiders have a chance here to score 1757 01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:02,679 Speaker 1: and put this away. 1758 01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, don't follow me on Twitter during the game. 1759 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,559 Speaker 4: I'm sure my bosses are looking at me in the box. Done. Oh, 1760 01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:13,519 Speaker 4: here he goes, he's two boxes down. Here he goes. 1761 01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:17,160 Speaker 4: But you know, but guys, for this game really a 1762 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,760 Speaker 4: quick thing. Daniel Jones, I grew up on and raised 1763 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,519 Speaker 4: a Giant fan. In my former life, it's year twenty 1764 01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,280 Speaker 4: eight with the Raiders, so my allegiance with the Raiders. 1765 01:40:25,280 --> 01:40:28,080 Speaker 4: But my dad is eighty seven years old and he's 1766 01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:30,719 Speaker 4: a diehard Giant fan and you always tell me Daniel 1767 01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,600 Speaker 4: Jones is so good. He's such a great athlete. He 1768 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,559 Speaker 4: can run, but he was a turnover machine and even 1769 01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,000 Speaker 4: though he didn't have great teams with the Giants, he 1770 01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,080 Speaker 4: would personally shoot the team in the foot by throwing 1771 01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,679 Speaker 4: it to the other team. It's nice to see he's 1772 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,240 Speaker 4: not doing that anymore under Shane Steich and that they're 1773 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:51,280 Speaker 4: giving him the opportunity to be good because he's a 1774 01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,960 Speaker 4: really good runner. When he takes off and there's no 1775 01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,040 Speaker 4: one in front of him, it's beautiful to watch because 1776 01:40:58,040 --> 01:40:59,479 Speaker 4: a lot of people don't give him credit for that. 1777 01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,080 Speaker 4: He's really good and open space. 1778 01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 1: So when in that in terms of that space, JT 1779 01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:07,800 Speaker 1: before we let you go defensively, the Raiders are susceptible, 1780 01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:10,639 Speaker 1: where if you're Shane Steichen, you're trying to take advantage 1781 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,880 Speaker 1: of what defensive weakness for the Raiders. 1782 01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:16,280 Speaker 4: Corner because the Raiders. Pete Cherrell, it's really unique what 1783 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 4: he wants to do. Pete Cherrell comes from the Legion 1784 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,360 Speaker 4: of Boom Correct Legion of Boom Earl Thomas Richard Sherman 1785 01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 4: camp Chancellor, and he built the Legion of boom and 1786 01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:29,960 Speaker 4: he wants that specific type of player six' two corner, 1787 01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:34,479 Speaker 4: thumping hitting. Safety he's got the. Safety Jeremy chin played 1788 01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 4: for The commanders last year in THE Nfc, championship good, 1789 01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:42,559 Speaker 4: player And Isaiah, pollamal who's another good young. Safety problem 1790 01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,320 Speaker 4: is a. Corner they don't have. Corners they Have Eric 1791 01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:48,400 Speaker 4: stokes who came from The packers decent and Then Kyu 1792 01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:52,479 Speaker 4: Blue kelly Or Darien porter who were. Young so every 1793 01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,639 Speaker 4: game we've played so far this, year four of them 1794 01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:58,160 Speaker 4: were one in. Three there's a gift touchdown to the other. 1795 01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:02,800 Speaker 4: Team there's just one play broken play thirty yards sixty yard. 1796 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:05,320 Speaker 4: Touchdown whill you scratch your head and, go, oh you, 1797 01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:08,639 Speaker 4: know a young kid just gave up a. Touchdown that 1798 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:10,640 Speaker 4: can't happen in this. Game they got to clean that. 1799 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,760 Speaker 4: Up SO i think that The raiders know that you're 1800 01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:16,479 Speaker 4: going to try to run the, ball and if The 1801 01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:19,120 Speaker 4: raiders can't stop the, run the game's. Over if The 1802 01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 4: raiders can Take taylor out of the game for a little, 1803 01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,760 Speaker 4: bit because The raiders are pretty good so far, statistically 1804 01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 4: it's stopped in the. Run other than The commander's, game 1805 01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:30,200 Speaker 4: which was just a throwaway stack. Game then they'll put 1806 01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 4: the pressure On Daniel. Jones we won In Raider nation 1807 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:38,879 Speaker 4: For Daniel jones to beat. Us we don't believe That Daniel, 1808 01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:40,760 Speaker 4: JONES i, know And i'm not talking for the, Team 1809 01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:43,679 Speaker 4: i'm talking for the. Fans we don't believe That Daniel, 1810 01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 4: jones who's been a turnover machine his whole, life can 1811 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:49,600 Speaker 4: throw for three point fifty and four. Touchdowns if he, 1812 01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:51,760 Speaker 4: does you know where to find. Me we got to 1813 01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:55,439 Speaker 4: hope That Daniel jones gives us the ball one or 1814 01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,040 Speaker 4: two times in this, game so we can eke a 1815 01:42:58,120 --> 01:42:59,920 Speaker 4: game out and get on the plane and come home 1816 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,400 Speaker 4: two and three going Into, tennessee which gives us three and, 1817 01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 4: three and now the later nation is. 1818 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:11,840 Speaker 1: Stabilized your dad, believes your dad BELIEVES jt.

Indiana but that's what happens when you 1948 01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,280 Speaker 1: get into the top. Ten and LIKE i said the other, 1949 01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:59,120 Speaker 1: day If indiana were to, win that's good news for. 1950 01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:01,240 Speaker 1: Them then later in the, year if they're able to 1951 01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:03,880 Speaker 1: hold serve and go Into Penn state ranked in the top, 1952 01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:06,160 Speaker 1: ten automatic win Because Penn state can't beat anybody in 1953 01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:08,640 Speaker 1: the top ten at. All right with the four and 1954 01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:10,559 Speaker 1: twenty one Under James franklin against the. 1955 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:11,320 Speaker 2: Top, Ten, yeah they're. 1956 01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:17,719 Speaker 1: Horrible that's, rough, right Very but back to The raiders 1957 01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:22,800 Speaker 1: And colts game And Geno smith And Pete, Carroll AND 1958 01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,640 Speaker 1: i do Like Geno, smith but he's right in the 1959 01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:31,920 Speaker 1: fact that you, know you forget that When Gino smith 1960 01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:36,400 Speaker 1: really got his consistency it was In seattle where he 1961 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,320 Speaker 1: was playing With Pete. CARROLL i, mean it's not like 1962 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:42,000 Speaker 1: this is a new. Marriage they are certainly familiar with one, 1963 01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,040 Speaker 1: another what they can, do what needs to be. Done 1964 01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:49,960 Speaker 1: and The raiders ARE i watched That bears, game AND 1965 01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:57,400 Speaker 1: i mean they had that game one on like five different. 1966 01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:01,320 Speaker 1: Occasions but what separates not good teams from good or 1967 01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,920 Speaker 1: great teams is good to great teams win the games 1968 01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:07,920 Speaker 1: they're supposed to, win and win the games that they. 1969 01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:14,439 Speaker 1: Control and they controlled that game until literally the last 1970 01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:18,800 Speaker 1: i mean three minutes to his, point they had the game. 1971 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:23,519 Speaker 1: Won and that was A, Listen indiana was a bad 1972 01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 1: beat to use that. Term and if you're a, Gambler i'm, 1973 01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:30,320 Speaker 1: not but if you, are Oh, Man indiana And iowa 1974 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,280 Speaker 1: was a bad. Beat it was brutal because of the 1975 01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:34,920 Speaker 1: safety at the end of the, game just to run 1976 01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,120 Speaker 1: the clock, out which swung the point. Differential, yeah the 1977 01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:40,519 Speaker 1: punter could have stopped on the eighteen yard. 1978 01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:40,680 Speaker 4: Line. 1979 01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:45,320 Speaker 1: QUARTERBACK i thought it was the. Punter, no it Was. Mendoza, okay, 1980 01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:50,400 Speaker 1: Right i'm certain it. Was wasn't. It he took the 1981 01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,280 Speaker 1: snap and just ran into the end zone and then 1982 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 1: took the knee in the end zone to run the clock. 1983 01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:58,920 Speaker 1: Out i'm almost certain it. Was Maybe i'm, wrong but either, 1984 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:02,400 Speaker 1: way and then you have the you know that game 1985 01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,479 Speaker 1: with The. RAIDERS i mean they're lining up for a field. Goal, 1986 01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:07,720 Speaker 1: yeah it was like a fifty four yard, er but you, 1987 01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,639 Speaker 1: know in the bear's, block it game. Over but they 1988 01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:15,000 Speaker 1: had that game, won man. Brutal this week in THE 1989 01:52:15,120 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 1: nfl is interesting because if you do AS i, do 1990 01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:19,720 Speaker 1: like a one of the with my, buddies we do 1991 01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 1: a pool where we do confidence. Pool, yeah and there 1992 01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:28,680 Speaker 1: are some weeks you look at it and you're, like, 1993 01:52:28,680 --> 01:52:31,240 Speaker 1: man this is an impossible. Week this week looks like 1994 01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:33,439 Speaker 1: knock on. Wood but it looks like an easier. Week 1995 01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:35,880 Speaker 1: there are a lot of games that just seem to 1996 01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:39,880 Speaker 1: be like foregone. Conclusion when you look at, it you're, 1997 01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:43,519 Speaker 1: like it's just just not great. Matchups BUT i you, know, 1998 01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:45,800 Speaker 1: listen that's that's why they play the, games, RIGHT i 1999 01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:47,920 Speaker 1: mean that that. Much we know it's the beauty of THE. 2000 01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:57,200 Speaker 1: Nfl but the The colts defensively getting in into the 2001 01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,559 Speaker 1: backfield as he was talking, about and trying to stop 2002 01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,000 Speaker 1: the run for it. DEVELOPS i, mean that's an area 2003 01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:06,680 Speaker 1: that seemingly is a strength for The. Colts do The 2004 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:10,000 Speaker 1: raiders scare, You? Eddie do The raiders when you think 2005 01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,160 Speaker 1: of The? Raiders do you think of this as a 2006 01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:21,320 Speaker 1: matchup that is overly daunting or are you is it? 2007 01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:24,120 Speaker 1: Confusing to? Confusing is the wrong? Word is it? Enigmatic 2008 01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,880 Speaker 1: BECAUSE i, said LIKE i, said The, RAIDERS i think 2009 01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:28,639 Speaker 1: to his, point we thought were going to be better 2010 01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:31,120 Speaker 1: at this point than they, are right or at least win. 2011 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:33,840 Speaker 2: LOSS i think it's another one of those games where 2012 01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,400 Speaker 2: you just have to take care of. Business like The 2013 01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:38,280 Speaker 2: cults are better than The. Raiders good. 2014 01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 1: Teams it's a game that good teams, win, right. 2015 01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:44,840 Speaker 2: Yes and like if The colts are just If Daniel 2016 01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:46,479 Speaker 2: jones just goes out there and do what he did 2017 01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:50,200 Speaker 2: weeks one through. Three takes care of the football just 2018 01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:52,599 Speaker 2: like a point guard distributes it to wherever the ball 2019 01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:54,840 Speaker 2: needs to go. To the open guy be able to 2020 01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,439 Speaker 2: run the ball. Effectively With Jonathan, taylor eventually he'll break 2021 01:53:57,439 --> 01:53:59,080 Speaker 2: a big one like he has in every game this, 2022 01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,120 Speaker 2: year and the defense holds, serves they're able to get 2023 01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:05,479 Speaker 2: To Geno, smith and the creates any creativity Of lou 2024 01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:09,000 Speaker 2: And rimo and the, coverage you, know scheme and disguise 2025 01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:12,240 Speaker 2: is able to Confuse smith and forced a couple turnovers than, 2026 01:54:12,280 --> 01:54:13,000 Speaker 2: BOOM i mean. 2027 01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:16,000 Speaker 1: The, turnovers, Right it's gonna be, key all.

Preseason you, KNOW i thought if you 2095 01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,120 Speaker 6: would have asked me the odds of him making the 2096 01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:26,880 Speaker 6: team coming out of training, camp BUT i would have 2097 01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:30,760 Speaker 6: said probably, none you, know just considering the depth The 2098 01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:33,360 Speaker 6: colts had at that. Position but as we, know that 2099 01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:36,960 Speaker 6: depth's been tested because the, injuries and he's, uh you, 2100 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:38,640 Speaker 6: know put one foot in front of the other and 2101 01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,080 Speaker 6: walking through that door of.

Point and then 2105 01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,640 Speaker 6: on your practice squad you've got Chrys lamont and some other. 2106 01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:57,800 Speaker 6: GUYS i, mean obviously the mons has got the most, experience, 2107 01:57:58,320 --> 01:58:01,240 Speaker 6: uh just in terms of not only playing, experience but 2108 01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:03,920 Speaker 6: just familiarity with you, know the guys that he would 2109 01:58:03,960 --> 01:58:07,600 Speaker 6: be you, know potentially around on defense in the back. 2110 01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:10,640 Speaker 6: End so, YEAH i think that is the biggest question 2111 01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:14,440 Speaker 6: mark surrounding this team going into week five is you, 2112 01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:16,600 Speaker 6: know who plays in the, secondary who do they trust 2113 01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:17,920 Speaker 6: and what roles are these guys put. 2114 01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:21,280 Speaker 1: Into you, know it's, Funny, matt you Know, blackman who 2115 01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:24,680 Speaker 1: was a guy that was a late acquisition via trade 2116 01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:27,680 Speaker 1: just before the roster was, set and at the time 2117 01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:30,840 Speaker 1: you just thought it was an insurance. Policy but it 2118 01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,840 Speaker 1: goes back To. Matt you, know you just can't have enough, 2119 01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:37,600 Speaker 1: corners can. YOU i, mean it just seems to be 2120 01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,280 Speaker 1: more and more in THE nfl in twenty twenty. Five 2121 01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:42,080 Speaker 1: it is a position of massive. 2122 01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:45,400 Speaker 6: Attrition, WELL i, mean think about what they've done in 2123 01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:48,280 Speaker 6: the last six seven, weeks you, know since training. CAMP 2124 01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:51,640 Speaker 6: i Mean Jalen jones goes, Down Juju brince goes. DOWN 2125 01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:54,720 Speaker 6: i Mean brince isn't even here.

Position so, YEAH 2131 01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:15,040 Speaker 6: i think to your, POINT i think corner is probably 2132 01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:18,960 Speaker 6: a spot that routinely gets dinged up just because of you, know. 2133 01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:20,080 Speaker 4: It's a very physical. 2134 01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:22,280 Speaker 6: Position you got to cover, guys but you also have, 2135 01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:25,400 Speaker 6: to you, know play strong in a box at, times 2136 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:27,480 Speaker 6: and you've got to tackle on the outside a lot 2137 01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:30,440 Speaker 6: of times depending on formations and. Scheme you, know you 2138 01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:32,680 Speaker 6: have to come in and set the. Edge so you 2139 01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:34,920 Speaker 6: just take a lot of wear and. Tear but bigger 2140 01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,360 Speaker 6: picture than, That, jaco it just seems, like for whatever, 2141 01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:40,240 Speaker 6: REASON i think a lot of teams can attest to 2142 01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:42,680 Speaker 6: this and they've experienced, it but it just seems like 2143 01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:46,400 Speaker 6: if you're on a football team going into a, season 2144 01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,240 Speaker 6: there's just that one, position, Right it's just the one 2145 01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:52,960 Speaker 6: position that just gets. Hammered and you, know unfortunately for 2146 01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:55,280 Speaker 6: guys Like Chris ballard And Ed dodds and some of 2147 01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:58,320 Speaker 6: the personnel folks within The, colts the problem is you 2148 01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:00,680 Speaker 6: just don't know going into the training camp what position 2149 02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:03,840 Speaker 6: that's gonna. Be but inevitably it always seems like just 2150 02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:07,200 Speaker 6: one position just gets hammered more than any. Others, uh you, 2151 02:00:07,200 --> 02:00:09,080 Speaker 6: know a couple of years ago as wide receiver and 2152 02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:10,400 Speaker 6: now this year it's it's certainly. 2153 02:00:10,480 --> 02:00:11,000 Speaker 4: Cornerback. 2154 02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Matt you were able to Call Matt taylor our guest 2155 02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:16,920 Speaker 1: as The colts And raiders get set On Sunday Lucas Oil. 2156 02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:19,520 Speaker 1: Stadium you know you were able to call the touchdown 2157 02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:22,000 Speaker 1: For Tyler warren, obviously but when you know by him 2158 02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:24,920 Speaker 1: lining up in the, backfield and you, know we knew 2159 02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:26,480 Speaker 1: that that was going to be SOMETHING i think that 2160 02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:28,440 Speaker 1: was going to be in the. Cards do you anticipate 2161 02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:30,760 Speaker 1: that we're going to start seeing that with more regularity 2162 02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:36,200 Speaker 1: and not just even in short yardage. Situations regularity is 2163 02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,720 Speaker 1: maybe the wrong, word let me rephrase, that but but you, 2164 02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:41,840 Speaker 1: know not it's not going to be the anomaly play if. 2165 02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:44,720 Speaker 6: You, Will, NO i don't think. So, YEAH i MEAN 2166 02:00:44,880 --> 02:00:47,040 Speaker 6: i think it's going to become the regularity to your 2167 02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:49,880 Speaker 6: point in short, yardage, DEFINITELY i definitely think you're going 2168 02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:52,680 Speaker 6: to see that on third and short or goal line 2169 02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:55,280 Speaker 6: or gotta have play in the red. ZONE i, mean 2170 02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:57,520 Speaker 6: think about. IT i mean he lined up in three 2171 02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:01,680 Speaker 6: different positions plays in a, row, right he had. TO 2172 02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:04,200 Speaker 6: i think it was first down he lined up at tight. 2173 02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:07,120 Speaker 6: End second, down then line them up at at quarterbacks 2174 02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:09,400 Speaker 6: and the, wildcats and then third down they give it 2175 02:01:09,400 --> 02:01:11,160 Speaker 6: to him on the belly lining up at full back 2176 02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:14,720 Speaker 6: in the. Backfield so if my math is correct on 2177 02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:16,920 Speaker 6: all of this so far this, year he's lined up 2178 02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:20,320 Speaker 6: out wide as a, receiver he's lined up as a slot, 2179 02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:24,280 Speaker 6: receiver he's obviously lined up as an inline blocker as 2180 02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:26,840 Speaker 6: a tight. End he's lined up at full, back he's 2181 02:01:26,840 --> 02:01:28,840 Speaker 6: lined up at, tailback and he's lined up at. 2182 02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:29,680 Speaker 4: QUARTERBACK i, mean. 2183 02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,320 Speaker 1: It's, unbelievable right it.

This you, Know Geno smith has been turning 2259 02:04:50,960 --> 02:04:53,720 Speaker 1: the ball over and maybe that means they become a 2260 02:04:53,720 --> 02:04:56,520 Speaker 1: little bit more reliant on the run, game AND i 2261 02:04:56,520 --> 02:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Think genti's starting to show why he was selected where he. 2262 02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:04,600 Speaker 1: Was but in terms of The colts and their run, Defense, 2263 02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:06,800 Speaker 1: matt how would you critique it to this point and 2264 02:05:06,880 --> 02:05:09,560 Speaker 1: are they going to be able to get penetration to 2265 02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:10,840 Speaker 1: make that hit behind the? 2266 02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:15,760 Speaker 6: Line, yeah so, FAR i would classify it as pretty. 2267 02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:19,480 Speaker 4: Good it also may be a little bit. Incomplete and 2268 02:05:19,520 --> 02:05:20,240 Speaker 4: the reason WHY i. 2269 02:05:20,200 --> 02:05:23,520 Speaker 6: Say incomplete is because if you look at the splits 2270 02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:26,720 Speaker 6: so far this, year The colts have been offensively getting 2271 02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:30,080 Speaker 6: off to such a good start and getting big leads 2272 02:05:30,120 --> 02:05:33,080 Speaker 6: in the first quarter and you, know maybe going up 2273 02:05:33,080 --> 02:05:35,800 Speaker 6: by two scorers by the middle of the second, quarter 2274 02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:38,879 Speaker 6: that it's putting a lot of stress on the opposing 2275 02:05:38,880 --> 02:05:41,520 Speaker 6: offense to get back into the game and they're having 2276 02:05:41,560 --> 02:05:44,640 Speaker 6: to throw the. Ball, so you, know the numbers allowed 2277 02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:47,560 Speaker 6: by The colts defense is pretty. Good but if you 2278 02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:51,120 Speaker 6: look at the, minutia like the yards per, carry that's 2279 02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:53,480 Speaker 6: not where they want it to, be if that makes. 2280 02:05:53,480 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 6: Sense so you, know they're not seeing the volume of 2281 02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:58,720 Speaker 6: runs like they did last year when they couldn't get 2282 02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,320 Speaker 6: off the field on third down and the offense wasn't 2283 02:06:01,320 --> 02:06:04,160 Speaker 6: doing a very good job of gaining the lead in 2284 02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:04,560 Speaker 6: the first. 2285 02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:08,360 Speaker 4: Place so that's WHY i say it's a little bit. 2286 02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:12,360 Speaker 6: Incomplete but you, Know Hyrian williams ran really hard the other, 2287 02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:14,520 Speaker 6: day and for the most, part they did a good 2288 02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:14,960 Speaker 6: job on. 2289 02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:17,000 Speaker 4: Him he still had some leakage. 2290 02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:19,320 Speaker 6: And some runs where he busted out for some big, 2291 02:06:19,360 --> 02:06:21,520 Speaker 6: games but you, know for the most part they did 2292 02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:25,400 Speaker 6: a good job on him And Blake. Korum but you're 2293 02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:28,680 Speaker 6: right on Genty. Man he looks like a beast and 2294 02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:32,800 Speaker 6: he's a lottery pick top ten. Guy and ADMITTEDLY i 2295 02:06:32,800 --> 02:06:35,040 Speaker 6: didn't watch a whole lot Of Boise state last, year 2296 02:06:35,080 --> 02:06:37,160 Speaker 6: So i'm kind of playing catch up on him to 2297 02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:40,680 Speaker 6: the draft process and just watching him on. TAPE i, 2298 02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:45,880 Speaker 6: mean this guy runs so hard and embraces. Contact there 2299 02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:49,960 Speaker 6: was some viral stat going around prior to their game last. 2300 02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:53,440 Speaker 6: WEEK i saw where you, know he obviously busted out 2301 02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:56,200 Speaker 6: for like, wow buck forty against The, bears but prior to, 2302 02:06:56,240 --> 02:06:59,120 Speaker 6: that in his first three games of the. SEASON i 2303 02:06:59,160 --> 02:07:03,320 Speaker 6: read where one hundred percent all of it, right one 2304 02:07:03,440 --> 02:07:07,400 Speaker 6: hundred percent of his rushing total on the season in 2305 02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:11,640 Speaker 6: the first three games came on yack yards after. Contact 2306 02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:14,880 Speaker 6: and that's just because he's a physical. RUNNER a BUT 2307 02:07:15,040 --> 02:07:17,320 Speaker 6: b the offensive line wasn't doing a very good job 2308 02:07:17,360 --> 02:07:19,800 Speaker 6: of opening up holes so he can get down the 2309 02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:23,000 Speaker 6: field before he's you, know embracing tacklers and linebackers and 2310 02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:25,840 Speaker 6: things like that in the second. Level so they're down 2311 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,520 Speaker 6: they're starting left Tackle Colton. Miller that is huge for, 2312 02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:30,760 Speaker 6: them you, know talking to some of their people that 2313 02:07:30,840 --> 02:07:33,160 Speaker 6: cover their, team you know they talk, about you, Know 2314 02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:36,839 Speaker 6: Geno smith is you, know obviously instrumental in the passing. 2315 02:07:36,880 --> 02:07:39,720 Speaker 6: Game genti's instrumental in the running. Game but maybe their 2316 02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:44,160 Speaker 6: most important, player you, know guy that that they could 2317 02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:46,920 Speaker 6: most ill afford to lose Was, miller. 2318 02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:47,320 Speaker 8: And so he's ON. 2319 02:07:47,440 --> 02:07:49,960 Speaker 6: Ir that's a big break for The. Colts so hopefully 2320 02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:51,120 Speaker 6: they can generate a pass. 2321 02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:51,960 Speaker 4: Rush and get After Geno. 2322 02:07:52,040 --> 02:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Smith, Now, Matt i'm not Saying i've gotten old or, 2323 02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:56,880 Speaker 1: soft But i'm gonna be honest with.
