1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Tanner Bordolini, the offensive lineman for the Indianapolis Colts, on

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: the Payless Liquers Hotline. Good morning on another victory Monday

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Colts. I would have guessed that you're

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: okay with this getting old, this this victory Monday thing

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: right now.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: It has been a lot of fun to be a

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 2: part of. But I got to keep them rolling.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Tanner.

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: When you look at what this team is able to

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: be able to do offensively, how impressive is it or

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: how much fun is it? Rather to be a fan

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: every now and then, Like, for example, when you're blocking

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: for a play, I don't know how often you get

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: a chance to just sit there and watch the rest

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: of it. But when JT goes for eighty yards, what's

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: your reaction to what you're seeing on a regular basis.

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty awesome.

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: I think you see some of the players, our guys

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: make a weekend, week out.

20
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: It's always extremely impressive.

21
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 4: You know, watching JT break that adr touchdown something that

22
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: I don't think ever gets old. You know, they think

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 4: the k inside he lives a little bit washing can

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: make plays like that, and it's, uh, you know, you

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: get the chance to be a fan again. You see

26
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: Pitt make a grab like that in the end zone yesterday,

27
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 4: It's like, oh my, did.

28
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: You see that? Uh? I think we're just as excited

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: as the fans are.

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: And it's been really a lot of fun to be

31
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: a part of. And uh I know, I think me

32
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 4: Uh I can speak for everyone on the offense when

33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: I say we're having a blast out there.

34
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 5: Tanner, Mike, did you see that moment? Was when you

35
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 5: out jumped Shane Steichen on the sidelines. There you got

36
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: Shane's got to get his vertical up.

37
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: Oh so Shane tried to get me out on last

38
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: week and I missed him. I misread the situation. So

39
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: I gotta get him back this week. So I make

40
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: sure to get up there. I'm pretty sure this next

41
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: game will be dialed on it. He'll be ready to roll,

42
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: He'll get some height on that jump.

43
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: But uh no, I think we both get a little

44
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: pretty fired up when when our offense.

45
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: Is rolling like that.

46
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: It's a starting center for the Colt Tanner BORDERLINI with

47
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 5: us here on the Payless Slickers hot line seven am

48
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: on a Monday. What is your Monday routine?

49
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: I had now I'm about to get some treatment.

50
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: You know, he'll up whatever. You know, not feeling great,

51
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: but I think everything always feels a little better after

52
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: a win. But I'll get healed up, get a lift in,

53
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 4: hit some meetings, watching them, watch the film, break it down,

54
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: see what I can improve on, just personally going through

55
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: the next week, because I think you know, it's about

56
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: getting better week to week. See when we get improved

57
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: upon every every game winner, lose, and then just enjoy

58
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 4: the rest of the day.

59
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Tanner, Why do you think this offense is performing and

60
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: executing at such a high level right now? What's been

61
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the key?

62
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: I think it's just everyone doing their job. Feel like,

63
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: right now we have eleven guys that know if I

64
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 4: can do my job, we have.

65
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: Tremendous talent at all those other positions where.

66
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: Those ten other guys are gonna do some great things

67
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: if I give them the opportunity to. And everyone buying

68
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: in every week, every game plan. I don't think there's

69
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: a single leek where guys are preparing different. You know,

70
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: there's routine consistencies than at a premium and I think

71
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: guys just really being focused and wanting our offense to

72
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: keep excelling the way it.

73
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: Is so Tanner obvious see as a center, you touched

74
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: the ball more than anybody else. How much more comfortable

75
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: do you feel this year being a full time starter

76
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: versus last year as a rookie, just trying to make

77
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: sure that you, I don't know, I don't mess up

78
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: at the NFL level.

79
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: I think you know, you just kind of embraced that

80
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: this is like my position, my spot now, and.

81
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: I think you just do. You do feel a little

82
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: more comfortable just you know, you're you're playing.

83
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: With those guys in practice every day, You're getting all

84
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: the reps with them. You're you're gonna be the guy

85
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: at that spot. So I think that confidence is there.

86
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: It's just it's you're just more comfortable just having stacked

87
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: and had all those reps of those guys that are

88
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: around you.

89
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: A number sixty for the Colts, Tanner BORDERLINI with us

90
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: here on the Payless Slickers hot line seven to one

91
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 5: start here in this twenty twenty five season, Tanner, you

92
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 5: shared with us, I think it was on Zoom last

93
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: week about kind of what you witness and the Daniel

94
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: Jones Chanstiken relationship on a weekly basis. For our audience

95
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: that maybe didn't hear that. What do you see for

96
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: those two Monday through Saturday? And I guess I point

97
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: out Saturday because I believe you do sit behind those

98
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: two on road trips as well, you know, just.

99
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: Getting to see the way they talk to each other,

100
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: you know, how invested they both aren't winning. How on

101
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: the same page about the game.

102
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Plan they are, Like on the plane.

103
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 4: I'll beat behind those two in the whole flight. You know,

104
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 4: we're in a four hour flight to LA. They're both

105
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: throwing through stuff, talking about, Hey, here's what I think

106
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: we can get on this situation, this play if we

107
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: get discoveraged, you know, here's what I think would be

108
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: a good call.

109
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: You know.

110
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: And I think it really shows once we get the

111
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: game time that they both know, when this play comes in,

112
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 4: here's what we're thinking, Here's what we want to do,

113
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: Here's what we want to achieve. And I think that's

114
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: a really important part of why this offense has been

115
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: the way it has.

116
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 5: Who can eat the most in the offensive line room?

117
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: Man, we got a lot of guys that are up there.

118
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: I would say Braiden.

119
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: If you get Braiden on the right day, he can

120
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: demolished some food. He has probably had the biggest breakfast

121
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my life.

122
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: What is that? What is it?

123
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 5: I assume it's plates plurally, but what does that look like?

124
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: So he don't have seven over.

125
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: Easy eggs, seven pancakes and then.

126
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: Uh, he like the biggest bowl of fruit you've ever seen.

127
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking like it'd be like another plate, you know,

128
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: piled highway fruit. I mean, it's unreal how much you

129
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: can put down.

130
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: Is that daily or is this game day?

131
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's daily for breakfast. That's what he

132
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: knocks out. He says he's a seven over easy.

133
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: Egg guy, which I think is an insane.

134
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: Amount of over easy eggs.

135
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: But I love Brandon, but he could put that down

136
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: like no.

137
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Other tenor aside from the dieting, I think the seven pancakes,

138
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm just like, how are we the same species?

139
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Right? You know?

140
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: Two eggs over easy? Probably as much as I got,

141
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: you know, for for my uh you know, buck fifty frame.

142
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. Two or three maybe seven.

143
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: That's a man's number.

144
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Tanner, speaking of beyond just I guess the diety expertise

145
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: of your teammate. Uh, Tony Fronto Jr. Your offensive line coach.

146
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: How much is he meant to you and that room,

147
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: because from the sounds of it talking to you and others,

148
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: he'll love you up. But he also won't sugarcoat anything.

149
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: No, he's been huge, and I think that's a great

150
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: way to do it.

151
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: I feel like you always know what he's telling you

152
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: is true and it's what he actually means.

153
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: And I think it's a great thing for a coach

154
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: to have.

155
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: And again, as a player, you want you it's not

156
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: always gonna be perfect. You understand that, but if you

157
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 4: take the coaching for what it is, I think you

158
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: can grow a lot from it as a player. And

159
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: it makes our group a lot better because I think
