12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: who's making it happen coming up in a minute. But

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,519

00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: I know you're going to be all over the place.

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: How are you going to handle all these games? Twelve

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: of them on top round?

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: Gosh?

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Hey, well thanks for having me again. Friday Night

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: Lights theme song. Couldn't have asked for a better intro

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 4: there on a beautiful November day. Yeah, we have some

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: great matchup year, There's no question about it. I'm i

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 4: in obviously our game of the week, Warren Central at Brownsburg.

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 4: These two haven't played this season. Warren Central. What a

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: season for J. T. Whittaker's first year at the Helm

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: of the Warriors. They were up seventeen to nothing against

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Center Grove last week Trojan score twenty one unanswered. They

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: still have the resolve to get that win twenty four

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: to twenty one. Warren Central does so a big time

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 4: winning a huge test for them in Brownsburg at home

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 4: is no joke. The other one I'm iying tonight, Bloomington

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 4: South at Newpal. Newpal has been rolling everybody. We've talked

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: about this for the last two weeks in particular, They've

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: been tested and have come out the other side. That's

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: the that's the marks of a championship team. Right in

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: Class five A this season, Bloomington South eleven and one

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: only real tests this season with Center Grove at home.

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: They ended up losing that game by a couple scores.

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: So Newpals of that ILK.

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: We'll see if Bloomington South can keep it closed and

41
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: New Pala, I mean just stop them, and it's going

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: to be really difficult. But obviously Westfield and four waying

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: Carrol up north is really interesting and then we're going

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: to be back boots on ground from Miles McLoughlin, Who's

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: eye and Derek Henry's records.

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: So great night of football ahead. That's just a tip

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: of the iceberg.

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: But a bunch of sixteen seventeen eighteen year olds punching

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: their tickets to state a week before Thanksgiving, there's nothing

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 4: like it.

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 5: Texas Forever Dominic Miranda with us here on the payloss lookers, shidline.

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 5: Don did you see we actually got a coin flip

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: in the state of Texas to see who went to

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 5: the state playoffs a few weeks ago at a gas station.

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: I did, No, I did not see that.

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 5: That's a really yeah, I saw that real real thing,

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 5: trust me.

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 6: That's a time breaker.

59
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 5: It was a three way had coin toss. Was three

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 5: way coin toss. If you're not at a gas station

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: in Attica, Indiana next year to see if Legodi or

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 5: Pioneers making the playoffs, then what are we really doing here?

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: Is operation football even worth watching if I'm not there?

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: Literally, I mean, and there you are showing us the coin.

66
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: It's zooming in on the heads and the tails. I

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 5: just I have chills down my back.

68
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 6: I have so many questions, like who throws the coin?

69
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 6: Do you canna redo?

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 5: It does be some height, yes, Mark, the coach was

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: super emotional. The coach was super emotional.

72
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 6: I'm usually like that when I leave a BUCkies or

73
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 6: something like that.

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 5: I think they need to.

75
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: Have like Janis at the counter of the wah whaff.

76
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 5: That's why the big receis, you know, the jumbo reseas.

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, yes, the peanut butter minems. I can

78
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 5: share size and I can keep them all to myself.

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: This is electric here. Okay, more on Miles McLoughlin tonight.

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: I don't know much about Fort Wayne Bishop Luers. I

81
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 5: know that Jalen Smith played football there a long time ago.

82
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: Their record is not great. I would assume though they

83
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: play some pretty good competition in Fort Wayne. Their record

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: again is like eight and five or something like that.

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: I am curious tonight knocks and Miles McLoughlin. They kind

86
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: of survived in the region around twenty twenty one. Could

87
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: you know they'd be up for a little bit more

88
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 5: of a test here? Because I want the storyline next week, Dom.

89
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: I want him to get like two forty tonight and

90
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: have to have whatever. You know, Just I guess a

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: mediocre game for him to break the record next week

92
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: at Lucas Oil.

93
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's what everybody wants. But you're absolutely right.

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: I mean, Angola was a step up by Knox's standards,

95
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: and they did struggle. But guess who had the game

96
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 4: sealing interception?

97
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: That would be of course, he does it all. Of

98
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: course he is quite literally.

99
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 5: Drove the bus, didn't he He drove the bus, He played

100
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: the night. You know, he was the band of the

101
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: halftime show. He did it all.

102
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: It's right out of the Jack Kaiser playbook. Truly, it's

103
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: impressive stuff that he's doing. And last week we were

104
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: there when he set the national single seed records for

105
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 4: both touchdowns and yards in a season. So I don't

106
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: think it's a stretch to say it's the best single

107
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: season ever in high school football, right. I mean, when

108
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: you're saying national records for both those categories, super impressive.

109
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, fort Wayne Lewis, I mean, obviously Fort Wayne's

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: no joke. Carrol's playing first state title. Birth tonight, Lewis

111
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: is playing first They titled birth Tonight.

112
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: I think d Wanger might be as well.

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: Obviously they play all those schools and they've they've rowtled

114
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: off four straight here ahead of the semi state tonight.

115
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: But Miles McLaughlin man, he is no joke. I mean,

116
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: I think anyone who wants to say, oh, well, it's

117
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 4: a three a schedule in northern Indiana, like that's fine.

118
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: I don't really care if you're playing used car salesman

119
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: and you're putting up these numbers. Unbelievable out of him,

120
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: and what a season, what a.

121
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 3: Career he's had. I want to say he's three hundred

122
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: and fifty three hundred and sixty some away from Dereck Henry.

123
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: Don't quote me on that. I think it's in that range.

124
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: But that's a that's a mediocre d at the office

125
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: for him.

126
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: However, I think it will be a little more difficult

127
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: tonight against Lewis. He did have fifty two carries last week.

128
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: That makes my joints hurt just hearing that. But unbelievable

129
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: out of him, and really excited to get a camera

130
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: up there again to see.

131
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 3: Him play Tom.

132
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: We won't talk to you next Friday. I want to

133
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 5: have a show Friday of Thanksgiving, hear me out on

134
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: this nextday night and not to put too much on

135
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: the mini bye week plate of Derrick Henry. But next

136
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 5: Thursday night Ravens are on Thanksgiving night, so they don't play.

137
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 5: Next weekend? Is the three I State Final? Friday or Saturday?

138
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 5: I forget if we do odds on one day or

139
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 5: odds on Saturday.

140
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: Do you know? I do not remember. I don't know

141
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: if they switch here over year.

142
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 5: Either, So it's either Friday or Saturday. We know that

143
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: we got to get Derrick Henry inside of Lucas Oil Stadium.

144
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: We got to hand him the ball to Miles McLoughlin

145
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 5: after the game when he touchdown. Can you make that happen?

146
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 5: Do you have enough poll over there at WHR could collapse?

147
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 5: Said the helicopter to Baltimore. If he's still even you know,

148
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: living here, he's probably somewhere in some remote village down

149
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 5: there in Florida.

150
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: He's in the mountains with a beard. Don't even recognize him.

151
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: I would probably would. I can get a hold of him.

152
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: He has the pole.

153
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 4: But I think, why not why not reach out to

154
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry and say, hey, man, come on down, watch.

155
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: This kid break your record. Sure knots hats to win

156
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: tonight or else? What are we doing for the story ending?

157
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 7: But part of me is like, boy, the other team

158
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 7: has to love that opportunity to be like you know here, buddy.

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: You imagine Miles McLoughlin's picture on every locker and Fort

160
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: Wayne Bishop Lewers all week.

161
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

162
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 7: Oh, you know, the parents have been talking about the

163
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 7: coach and I always said this, and I hope they're

164
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 7: not giving your dolls.

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hope the coach not giving this piece.

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 7: Whenever my coach gave his speech in high school, we

167
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 7: got kicked the old Uh. They laced their shoes up

168
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 7: just like us, but we ain't built like them. So

169
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 7: I know, just to verify for you there, Dom, he

170
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 7: is three hundred sixty four yards away, I believe from

171
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 7: passing Derrick Henry. How much pressure do you think is

172
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 7: on that, like you know, yard marker guy to figure out, okay, is.

173
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 6: That is that the record?

174
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: Is it not?

175
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 6: I don't want to be in that position tonight.

176
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 7: But on a more serious note, Dom, I'm looking at

177
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 7: Brownsburg and what they're doing has been historic. Is there

178
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 7: a way for Warrenson Central to upset them? And I'm

179
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 7: not saying that as a joke, but Brownsburg's been a

180
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 7: bus saw and I don't want to take for granted

181
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 7: what we're seeing from you know, those guys.

182
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: It's I don't think it's a stretch to say. I

183
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: think what Warren Central has to do is play complete

184
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: mistake free football because I'm not so sure they can stop.

185
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: Brownsburg. I don't.

186
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't think it's that that's their game. That's Westfield's

187
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: type of game. We saw Westfield do that to Carmel,

188
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: a similar offensive powerhouse as Brownsburg a couple weeks back

189
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 4: in the Sectional title game. But like this has been

190
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 4: a postseason of like avenging losses, especially for six A

191
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: schools like Westfield doing it to Carmel, Warren Central doing

192
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 4: it to Center Grove, Warren Central did it to Lawrence North.

193
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 4: Anything can happen now. Advantage Brownsburg being at home.

194
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,119
Speaker 3: It is a serious home field.

195
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: Advantage when it comes to Brownsburg, There's no question about it.

196
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: Pandering maybe, but I mean, I'm just speaking the truth

197
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 4: of Okay, what they have to do more and set

198
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 4: think they can't make mistakes, they can't turn the ball over,

199
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: and they're going to have to go stride for stride

200
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: offensively with Brownsburg. If they do beat Brownsburg, it's gonna

201
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: be like a forty two thirty five forty type game.

202
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: So I think they can do it. I would be surprised, though, Brownsburg's.

203
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: Brownsburgs eyeing that back to back state title. They want

204
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: that perfect season two. A lot of really good stuff

205
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 4: trending in the Bulldog's way.

206
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 2: No doubt, dom have fun, I know you always do.

207
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: Can't wait to talk to you again the next time

208
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: we meet up. But it's been a blast having you

211
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: got some business to take care of before then.

212
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: That's right.

213
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: Hey, thanks guys, Seriously, this has been a great season.

247
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,000

Speaker 5: Next afternoon, get some Black Friday shopping done, and then

249
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760

250
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 5: have here?

251
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: I like it?

252
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 6: Can I just throw this out there?

253
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 7: Aj Brown is a comedian to me at this point,

254
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 7: every media availability he does is just like drama. It

255
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 7: is so Philly everything. It's hey, how are you doing

256
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 7: this season? Are you the same player? He was like, well,

257
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 7: I guess, say quant it's the same player either. I'm like,

258
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 7: I'll get some headlines going. And so they ask Hm

259
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 7: about his restship with Jalen Hurts. He's asks me about Dallas.

260
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 7: It's like, oh, baby cooking with gas over there.

261
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: So you know, over here in old Calm colts Land.

262
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 7: I'm liking how the team is looking without having to

263
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 7: do all the other extra stuff.

264
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't really have anybody that like, yeah, he

265
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: wants to grab headlines over there? Do we all the time?

266
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean you got a linebacker Franklin.

267
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: I believe but he's nowhere near the aj Brown.

268
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 5: What Juju Smith Schuster a few weeks back.

269
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 6: Well, he basically just say he needs his you know

270
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 6: what beat, but he's not talking.

271
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: About I think you can say ass right, yeah, Mark, Yeah,

272
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 5: we're good at that. Huh yeah, he said Juju Smith

273
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 5: Schuster needs his ass beat. And now they play each

274
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 5: other coming up on Sunday. A. Yeah, that's a little

275
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 5: it could be a little extracurricular activity or two after

276
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 5: a play.

277
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm definitely having been the monoculars out for either

278
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 7: they hit from Zaier or the crackback block from Juju James.

279
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: We did see Anthony Richardson yesterday. It's the first time

280
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: I've seen him since the injury occurred in the locker

281
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: room again, remains uninjured reserve. I would say it's fair

282
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 5: to say his return to practice is by no means imminent,

283
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 5: So we should probably just toss that in there among

284
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: this Daniel Jones calf injury situation. If for some reason

285
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: whatever Daniel Jones woke up today or the calf is

286
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 5: you know, far worse than I think anybody is expecting

287
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: it to be, Anthony Richardson would not be on the

288
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 5: field Sunday, No, it would.

289
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 7: Be Riley Leonard. He remains QB two Andthon Jerson remains

290
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: on I R. I was good to see him though,

291
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 7: got dap him up, asked him how he was doing

292
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 7: a little bit, say he's doing good, and he was

293
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 7: typical jovial Anthony Richardson, which is a good sign for

294
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 7: just his spirits because he's been through a lot this year.

295
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: Obviously, no eyepatch for those curious, there's definitely you know,

296
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 5: you can see whatever bruising scarring everyone to describe it

297
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: around the eye there. So yes, so he was in

298
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 5: the locker room yesterday, but he is yet to return

299
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: to practice, and you know, the question of will he

300
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 5: put on a colt's uniform again this season, unfortunately, I

301
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: feel like is a fair one to ask.

302
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that's gonna be most

303
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: fun to watch for on Sunday though, is now that

304
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: they've had a week with Sauce Gardner and I know

305
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: that they didn't practice a lot last week, but he's

306
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: had time to study up and figure out exactly where

307
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: he fits in in this new scheme and all those

308
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: kinds of things going up against Patrick Mahomes on the road, James,

309
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: this is a great chance to test your new and

310
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: improved secondary right now, especially now that Rashid Rice is

311
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: back and Travis Kelsey has been playing very well lately.

312
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: And Andy Reid already said I think Didney Kevin that

313
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna try to focus on the run a little

314
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: bit more, or at least he said, maybe we haven't

315
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: emphasized that enough something along those lines. This is going

316
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: to be a test, and I'm looking to see what

317
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: this secondary can provide in this test.

318
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 7: This is what you trace for Sauce Gardner for this opportunity,

319
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 7: these matchups, and I do think that he played pretty

320
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 7: well out there against the Falcons in Berlin, and I

321
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 7: think with the extra time off the bye week, getting

322
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 7: aclimitted to the city, all the above will help him

323
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 7: be even more ready for his opportunity that lies ahead

324
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 7: on Sunday. So this will be a huge matchup. I'm

325
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 7: very curious to see how the Chiefs approach trying to

326
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 7: slow down Jonathan Taylor. Only one team's done it all

327
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 7: year and that was the Steelers. So can you I guess,

328
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 7: similar to the Miles McLaughlin conversation, can you keep JT

329
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 7: human to a degree, like like, if you give up,

330
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: I don't know, eighty seven yards versus one point eighty

331
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 7: will that be the difference in the game.

332
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up, you know, because I

333
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: think any time you play the Chiefs, inevitably you discuss

334
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: mahomes endlessly. Yes, understandably given the Colts' offensive situation here

335
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: in the last couple of games, the Daniel Jones conversation

336
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 5: is a little bit more front and center. But like

337
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: I was, you know, making my way through the fog

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 5: this morning downtown, and I thought to myself, man, I

339
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: and we have barely mentioned Jonathan Taylor this week, and

340
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: James just laid it out with the Chiefs sign up

341
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: for eighty seven yards right now? Hell yeah they would.

342
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 5: It's oh my god. Andy Reid would show up to

343
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 5: you know, Aarhuad naked on Sunday if you could give

344
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: them eighty seven yards for number twenty eight there. So,

345
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 5: uh yeah, that is I think a really good point.

346
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: And you know, Kansaidy has struggled with play action, and

347
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: you know, obviously if the Colts could get that going,

348
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 5: you know, Taylor, you know, I'm trying to think, you know,

349
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 5: he still had a pretty good game outside of the

350
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: obviously historic run that he had late in that in

351
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 5: that Germany game, and that's been vintage Taylor all year.

352
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: You know, just when you think maybe he's had a

353
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 5: quiet and I say that in quotes two and a

354
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: half three, three and a half quarters, boom, he can

355
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 5: rip that off right when you think you have him

356
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: bottled up there. So that is something obviously significantly in

357
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 5: the Colts favor.

358
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 6: Here's a stat for you.

359
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 7: So he is on pace right now for two three

360
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 7: hundred and seventy eight scrimmage yards and twenty nine scrimmage touchdowns.

361
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 7: If he keeps that pace, that will be more scrimmage

362
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 7: yards in each of the last four non QB MVP

363
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 7: winners since two thousand. This is according to NFL pro

364
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 7: So that's that would be more than Adrian Peterson in

365
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 7: twenty twelve, more than Ladanians Thalmins in two thousand and six,

366
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 7: one sewn Alexander in two thousand and five, and more

367
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 7: than Marshall Fulk as well back in the day. So again,

368
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 7: can he keep that pace because to me, I think

369
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 7: it's scrimmage yards.

370
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: And total touchdowns.

371
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 7: There's only been one man ever to go over thirty

372
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 7: scrimmage touchdowns in a season he won MVP. That was

373
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 7: Danian Tomlinson. So to me, the magic number is thirty

374
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 7: for JT. No pressure. You know, obviously he wants to

375
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 7: win and that's a big picture. But I think if

376
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 7: you get to thirty touchdowns as a running back, I

377
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 7: gotta be like, look, man, you have to be brilliant

378
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 7: as a quarterback to not give it to that.

379
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: Dude.

380
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 6: I think that's the magic number.

381
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Well, some magic numbers for the Chiefs. They are eighth

382
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: against the rush in terms of yardage allowed, but they

383
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: are in the second third and towards the back of

384
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: the second third four touchdowns allowed to running back, So

385
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: make of that what you will. They have had some

386
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: stingy moments at times, but you can punch it into

387
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: the end zone against them.

388
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's crazy, and the fact that we're talking

389
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 7: about this game like it's a playoff game just gets

390
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 7: me excited because that's what it feels like.

391
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 6: It feels like for the Chiefs.

392
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 7: You're a trumph who knows they might lose his game,

393
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 7: run off the last whatever many games of the year,

394
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 7: and get in some playoffs anyway. But I do think

395
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 7: this will really put them on edge. And then for

396
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 7: the Colts, you get to kind of put your stamp

397
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 7: on the season before you get to that part where

398
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 7: you really got to start winning some games, and obviously

399
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 7: that's the playoffs.

400
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas City on Sunday, week after that at home

401
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: against a really tough defense for the Texans, and then

402
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: another division game after that on the road against Jacksonville.

403
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: So again, this is why you build up that record.

404
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 2: You know, then win as many games as you can

405
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: in the first part of the year because we all

406
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: knew that this was going to be the toughest part

407
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: of the schedule and that's what it looks like right now.

408
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, just to remind everybody, the final seven games to

409
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 5: the Colts, the worst team they'll play in record is

410
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 5: the team on Sunday, Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid

411
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 5: and the Kansas City Chiefs the best worst team and

412
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 5: record they will play every other team they play the

413
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 5: rest of the year. Two against the Texans, two against

414
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 5: the Jags at Seattle to San Francisco. All of those

415
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 5: teams are above five hundred. You know, we touched all

416
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 5: the questions presented to themselves and honestly answered them very

417
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: emphatically with how they played leading in that Pittsburgh game.

418
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: But it was also fair to say at that point

419
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: new questions, you could say, more difficult questions would be

420
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: on the horizon. And that's where we're at right now.

421
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: And that is something I was interested to find out

422
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: over the last couple of days too. Lou Ana Rumo

423
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: was three and oh early against the Chiefs, but I

424
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: think he's lost the last three games they've played against

425
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. As a defensive coordinator, is he not?

426
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: I think that the Bountoin with the Anna Rimo is

427
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 5: you know, definitely a lot of sacks on the homes again,

428
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 5: a little bit more of a natural pass rush, dropping

429
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 5: a lot of guys into coverage. Given the Colts personnel

430
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 5: right now. I said on yesterday's show, the dB group

431
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 5: the Cults will run out there on Sunday, in my opinion,

432
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 5: will be the best defensive bat group they've run out

433
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 5: in a game in franchise history. I don't think that's hyperbole.

434
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 5: I don't think that's a prisoner of the moment. So

435
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: given that you would think, hey, just blitz. Don't you

436
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 5: trust all those guys to play on Islands and playing

437
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 5: man gets Sauce Gardner right. You know, James brought up

438
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 5: the man covered stats for mahomes versus the zone stats

439
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: for mahomes against man, he's much worse than he is

440
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: against zone. So but one thing to point out about

441
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 5: those low numbers as well. In the three wins Cincinnati

442
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 5: had over Kansas City, Kansasity still scored twenty four to

443
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 5: twenty four and thirty one. So it's not like you know,

444
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: you were pitching what thirteen seventeen twenty point games against them. Granted,

445
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 5: this Kansas City offense maybe isn't the same I thought

446
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: I did hear Kelsey say earlier in the week he

447
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: thinks the twenty twenty five Chiefs would beat the twenty

448
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 5: twenty four Chiefs, which is kind of been interesting.

449
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: Well, they're five and five colts are sitting there at

450
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: eight and two, and they can put a big I

451
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: don't know if they can put the dagger in Kansas City,

452
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: but they can set the stage for it. And it's

453
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: going to come your way Sunday afternoon at one right here,

454
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 2: ninety three five, one oh seven five the fan coming

455
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: up next. Greg Rakestraw will be a part of that

456
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: broadcast joins us to talk about that also where we're

457
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 2: at for college basketball and of course high school football tonight.

458
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: All Things Indiana next on ninety three to five and

459
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: one of seven five. I think I got it right, Mark,

460
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Good morning. I don't know what it looks like outside

461
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: right now, but I know early this morning the fog

462
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 2: was dense and thick, and hopefully people are getting through

463
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 2: it today and it's starting to burn off a little bit.

464
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that as the morning goes along.

465
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: But that also means it's November and it's a little

466
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: chili in the air, and there's probably a chance for

467
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: some precipitation tonight when the high school football games and

468
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: semi state get rolling in. So we got to get

469
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: more information on all that by calling our good friend

470
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: Greg Rakestraw here on the Payless Lookers hotline. Happy Friday, Greg,

471
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: it's football weather. What can we say? This is what

472
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: you want it is.

473
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: I can confirm to you that it is still foggy

474
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: outside and I am pretty dense and thick, So all

475
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: of these things are still true as of eight am.

476
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: Never misses, he never missed.

477
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 5: A lot of ways you go with that one, Greg

478
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: Greggs tonight said is semi state action around the state

479
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: of Indiana. Rake, I'm gonna pin you down for one, A,

480
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 5: two A, three A. Give me the best game in

481
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: those classes for tonight.

482
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: Well, you're asking me to pick one of two, So

483
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: it's not exactly probably an overly difficult decision, I would.

484
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all the I think all the

485
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: games are great, just because you've only got to eleven

486
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: of them playing tonight and you've got you know, one tomorrow.

487
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: So Cascade Gibson Southern is the one game that is

488
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: going to be a Saturday night game in terms of

489
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: the drive for Gibson Southern because apparently going to need

490
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: the time machine to get to Central Indiana. The one

491
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: A South game. In terms of Milond and South Putnam,

492
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: these are two teams that we don't talk about making

493
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: state finals. South Putnam's kind of been knocking on the

494
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: door for the last several years. This is their opportunity.

495
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: Probably thought they would get a rematch with Providence, and

496
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Mylond went to Providence and upset them last week twenty

497
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: two to seven. As far as two way is concerned,

498
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: Brownstown Central and Lapel are both undefeated. Lapel is in

499
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: the southern half of the bracket. In terms of high

500
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: school football. When I said about South Putnam kind of

501
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: goes double or triple for Brownstown Central. Reed May has

502
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: been coaching there a long time. His winning percentage is

503
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: north of eight hundred and probably higher than that. For years,

504
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: they have been the smallest, if not one of the

505
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: smallest schools in a primarily three A league, and they

506
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: win it most years, but they've not made that trip

507
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: to Lucas Oil. So this might be their best opportunity

508
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: at Lapel has a fantastic quarterback. That's not going to

509
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: be an easy win for Brownstown Central. And in terms

510
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: of three A, the only game playing tonight would be

511
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Knox and Lewis, And so this is the game to

512
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: see if Miles McLaughlin's going to get that national record

513
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: to Knox make the state championship game. This is probably

514
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: not a vintage Lewers team, but this is not exactly

515
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: a typical for Lewers. About a five hundred record during

516
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: the season, playing a four A, five A six A

517
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: schedule and then make a run of the postseason. And

518
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: this is probably the best defense that you know Knox

519
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: has run into you know so far this year. So

520
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: those are the games that from the small school standpoint

521
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: would have my attention.

522
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 6: Rake, Where will you be tonight?

523
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: I will be at.

524
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Warren Central in Brownsburg. So I'm lucky that I kind

525
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: of get the six A South semi SAE. It's usually

526
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: the game that I get to see, knowing I'll have

527
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: the five A and six A state finals next weekend. Obviously,

528
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: Warren landed the upset on Center Grove last week. And

529
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, I had somebody, and I forget who I

530
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: was talking with earlier this week that said Warren and

531
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Brownsburg should be a blot. I'm like, no, I don't

532
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: think so. Brownsburg is really good. Brownsburg is solid. But frankly,

533
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: if you can beat Center Grove at Center Grove, you

534
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: can beat Brownsburg at Brownsburg too. And Keon Thomas was

535
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: absolutely dynamite last week for Warren Central, accounting for over

536
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: three hundred yards of offense. And the other thing that

537
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: you know Warren Central has is they have the ability

538
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: to get to the passer, at least they did last

539
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: week against Center Grove by rushing three. When one of

540
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: those guys is going to Alabama, another one is a

541
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: big ten level recruit Calvin McDonald kind of rounds up

542
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: that pass rushing trio for Warren Central. Warren absolutely has

543
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: a chance tonight to win at Brownsburg.

544
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 7: You know, it's crazy, Rick, I actually went to the

545
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 7: season opener Warren Central and Center Grove and that was

546
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 7: in Warren Central loss twenty four to six. And so

547
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 7: to see them recover from that early season loss and

548
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 7: kind of get it together when it matters the most

549
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 7: was pretty remarkable. And then a kind of flip it

550
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 7: to the Brownsburg side. They haven't dropped the game in

551
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 7: two years. So if they're able to get to the

552
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 7: state final and finish this off, what are we looking

553
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 7: at as far as being considered one of the best

554
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 7: runs over a couple of years in state history.

555
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: Well, you've got to get to where you win three

556
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: or four in a row before you're kind of in

557
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: that consideration. Even at the six to a level. I

558
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: want to say Center Grove did it three years running.

559
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: I think twenty through twenty two was all was all

560
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: cg in terms of dropping a game, maybe, but in

561
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, winning a state championship. But again,

562
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: the peak of the top of the food chain in

563
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: the five A era would be Warren Central mid two thousands,

564
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: war In Central two thousand and three through two thousand

565
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: and six that is. And again you can have the

566
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: debate in terms of one of those Center Grove Championship

567
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: teams versus say, two thousand and five Warren Central. You know,

568
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure I Ben Davis championship team would be in

569
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: that mix. They were the national champs, you know, back

570
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, to kind of give you an

571
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: idea as to how good that team was for Dake Dellahan.

572
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: So there have been some great individual teams. There have

573
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: been some great runs. What I will say about Brownsburg

574
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: is this because they have been so good for so

575
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: long under John Hart. They had stumbled in postseason play

576
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: until last last year. And last year was the year

577
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: where they kept finding in a way to come back

578
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: in these games where they were down against Ben Davis

579
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: in the sectional final and won it, and they were

580
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: down in the regional game against Lawrence North and won it,

581
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: and went to Center Grove and won it, and then

582
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: beat Westfield for a second time in the state championship game.

583
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: They haven't had those moments this year. In other words,

584
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us felt once they got

585
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: one that was going to kind of open the floodgates

586
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: for Brownsburg and potentially that's what we have happening over

587
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks.

588
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 7: Rig do you think at this time of year this

589
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: is when all the debates happened of you know, my

590
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 7: team from this era would have beat your team from

591
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 7: this era or whatever, because I feel like that is

592
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 7: in these parts. That has to be one of the

593
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 7: Thanksgiving conversations Thanksgiving week conversations and debates, is you know,

594
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 7: back in nineteen eighty seven, my undefeated team was better

595
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 7: than whatever you guys are putting out in two thousand

596
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 7: and two or something like that.

597
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: That happens at every dinner table in every state of

598
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: the Union. Yes, it happens around here too. And again,

599
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: the styles of the eighties versus the styles of now,

600
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's comparable. Maybe you go back twenty

601
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: years until Stad we're starting to throw the football a

602
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: little bit more. But at the same time, like Warren,

603
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Central was so good they didn't have to throw the football.

604
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, that was as the wing tea was becoming prominent,

605
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: that tender grove started and then Warren took it and

606
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: ran with it too, and so they were so good

607
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: they'd have to throw the football it's gonna run right

608
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: over you, and it frankly didn't matter. So absolutely those

609
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: conversations are taking place, and unfortunately I'm not sure I've

610
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: got a great answer for you, Greg.

611
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Greg Straw joining us on the pay list Liickers Hotline.

612
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: Another local team wants you to talk about real quick.

613
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: Herod Chills playing at Indianapolis, Run Collie, Run Collie. They've

614
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: had a terrific season so far. Can they do they

615
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: have what it takes to finish this job?

616
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: So Ron Callie's resume keeps looking better by the week.

617
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, Ron cally avenged twenty two point loss to

618
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: Shatard from back in week number three, and Ron Collie's

619
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: a program you think is always going to be good,

620
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: but probably thought the stopping point for them was whatever

621
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: they would see Schatard and then they beat them by

622
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: twenty in the sectional championship game. Heritage Gills, much like

623
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: newpal is trying to win back to back state championships,

624
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: but is trying to do it playing a class up,

625
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: and so many people look at the success factor and go, well,

626
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: that's the penalty for parochial schools. Well, we have a

627
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: chance that three schools one of them, or assuming three

628
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: schools that are all public, could win a state championship

629
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: or play for a state championship playing a class up

630
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Adam centraland two A Heritage Hills and four A newpal

631
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: in five A, which shows you the metal of those

632
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: football programs. So Ron Kali is solid. The best player

633
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: in that game is playing for Heritage Gills. The name

634
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: is Jet Golds. He's into play for Ole Miss obviously.

635
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: If Lane Kiffin bounces elsewhere, maybe he's playing someplace else

636
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: next year. Is that John play at Purdue played with

637
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and Heritage Hills as at a habit

638
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: of producing NFL players. Obviously, Jay Cutler and Ken Dilger

639
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: immediately come to mind. So I think that game on

640
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the South Side is an absolute toss up tonight and

641
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: should be a classic.

642
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll add to Tyler Ruxter for Harida Chills.

643
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: Going to Oklahoma Okama. Correct.

644
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: I'd be hard pressed right to find too many times

645
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: a non six A school five A school has sent

646
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 5: two kids to the SEC in the same senior class.

647
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 5: The great, great great Straw with us here pay Leslikers

648
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 5: hot line, rag. I know we do start, you know,

649
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 5: college or I should say high school basketball. For some reason,

650
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: I feel like I could be wrong. Like Pike North Central,

651
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 5: I felt like it was always kind of the opener.

652
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: Coming up next week is Luke Bertle the notable favorite

653
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: for mister basketball.

654
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: He is the easy favorite for mister basketball.

655
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: The ken Shaw.

656
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: Probably we'll get some consideration out of the North. Again,

657
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: this is not as deep of a senior class as

658
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: we had a year ago. But again, I think Luke

659
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: Urdle is the easy favorite for Indiana mister Basketball. Kaimac

660
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: gru might get some mention in there as well, probably

661
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: a top three or top four player obviously making the

662
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: move from LN. Not of Fisher's, but it should be

663
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: Luke Urdle's award.

664
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, we got the Cults coming up on Sunday and oh,

665
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: you'll be a part of that broadcast. A little bit

666
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: of a game at Kansas City. Are the Colts prepared

667
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: and ready to topple this Kansas City Chiefs team and

668
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: maybe start to knock them out of the playoffs all together?

669
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of a task they have at hand, right,

670
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: And let's be honest. The last two times they've played,

671
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: the Colts have been nowhere near as good as this team,

672
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: and to beat the Chiefs both times in twenty nineteen

673
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty two. The Colts closing schedule just

674
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: keeps getting tougher, doesn't it, because those teams keep winning games,

675
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: with the Texans finding a way to beat the Buffalo

676
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: Bills without c. J.

677
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: Strouds.

678
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: So this starts what appears to be a seven game gauntlet,

679
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: and I think there's little doubt the Colts have been

680
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the National Football League

681
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: this season. They're going to be tested early and often

682
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: for the next seven weekends, and it starts on Sunday.

683
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: Ah, he's going to talk to your buddy. Can't wait

684
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: to see you again this weekend and keep your thing.

685
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: You know you do it as well as anybody, and

686
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: we just can't wait to hear what you do next.

687
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.

688
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

689
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: Mark.

690
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: I believe you're saying it is time to tango for

691
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

692
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: Welcome into the Fan Morning Show, James Boyd, you doing

693
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: some David David Boie saw soa there, what was that?

694
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 6: A little sauce? I don't know what a tango is,

695
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 6: but I'll hit you with a couple.

696
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: Of cruz that always did the Salso, yes.

697
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 6: A good player.

698
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah uh. It's Kevin Bowen, James Boyd, Jeff Rickard, and

699
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: Mark Dyketon. And we bring in now a fifth voice

700
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: on this fantastic Merrygo Round we call the Morning Show.

701
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: That would be Matt Tayblor, the voice of the Indianapolis Colts,

702
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: who is fresh off a bye week and ready and

703
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: then resting, rare and to go. I'm sure Matt, how

704
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: was your bye week?

705
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: It was fantastic.

706
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: It was good.

707
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Good to get a couple of days away and spend

708
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: some time with the kiddos and reconnect. Got to watch

709
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: my daughter play some basketball over the weekend, so it

710
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: was good. It was good. But now it's going to

711
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: be back with seven games to go in a trip

712
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: to Kansas City.

713
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 6: So I fired up, mate. How does a jumper look

714
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 6: for your daughter? Is it Indiana approved?

715
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what.

716
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: She's got the elbow. In the follow through.

717
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: You we balance eze elbow fallow through.

718
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: That's right within twelve feet. She's money Outside of that,

719
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: we got some work to do, right. We got to

720
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: get the legs underneath it. For a third grader, the

721
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: jumper is pretty adequate at this point.

722
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 7: I like it.

723
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: You send her over to Rick Carlisle and Jenny Bruce.

724
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: She'll take care of everything.

725
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: Man, that's it. Yeah, we need to send her to

726
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: the Billy Keller basketball camps.

727
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 5: Like Rick Mounts basketball camp. Here before we get into

728
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 5: the Electric Tailor's tedbits as always, Matt Taylor, how was Berlin?

729
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 5: What was your experience like in certainly a very iconic

730
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 5: stadium where I think you had a pretty iconic call.

731
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was a blast. The game itself was

732
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: just I mean beyond memorable. I mean Olympic Stadium, James,

733
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: you were there, so you can attest. I mean I

734
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: took some videos and pictures, but I don't think it

735
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: really does it justice in terms of the energy and

736
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: the volume of the crowd and how much fun those

737
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: fans were having. So, I mean, the trip itself was

738
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: just an absolute blur because I think we were there

739
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: like almost just a hair over sixty hours. So we

740
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: landed German time Friday at ten thirty and left immediately

741
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: after the game. So I had some jet lag going there,

742
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: not so bad coming back, but the game itself, the stadium,

743
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: it ended in overtime, it was just beyond and memorable.

744
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: It's an experience that I will never forget.

745
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's great stuff, and I'm glad that you came

746
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: back okay, And the Colts came back okay, And it

747
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: got a little hairy there, but they pulled it off

748
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: in overtime. Looking back on the first ten weeks, we

749
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: know the Colts have won eight games, so there's success

750
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: right there. But how do you feel about this team?

751
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: Who are they at this point in time?

752
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think we know who they are, and I

753
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing, because the Colts are a

754
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: team that on offense, they're so diverse and they're so multiple,

755
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: and I think that's a big reason why teams not

756
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: to get into the weeds a little bit. But on defense,

757
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: I think that's what defensive coordinators kind of say to

758
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: themselves going up against the Colts is if we just

759
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: sit back and we play coverage and we only rush four,

760
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get annihilated. You know, we're gonna give up

761
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: thirty points and it's gonna be a long day for us.

762
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts so far on the season, they

763
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: have seen the fifth most blitzes on the season, and

764
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: I just think that that's what the Colts can get

765
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: used to now going forward. On offense, that's just going

766
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: to be like a regular day at the office for

767
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: this offensive line, for their blitzed pickup operation, because I

768
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: think teams know the Coults are just too diverse and

769
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones has shown himself to be too lethal in

770
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: this offense under Shane Steichen and too accurate with you know,

771
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: the three receivers and Tyler Warren. And then if we

772
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: just sit back and we don't dedicate ourselves to bringing pressure,

773
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's going to run all over us, and he

774
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: still might. Like the Falcons found out last week. I mean,

775
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: they were blitzing the brains out and Taylor still ran

776
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: for two forty four. But I just think that's what

777
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: opposing defenses now have to do against the Colts to

778
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: give themselves a chance because of how efficient this Colts

779
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: offense can be if you don't show that aggressiveness, and

780
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: then on defense, you know, they have shown themselves to

781
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: be this year so far, and I think it's going

782
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: to turn a little bit at least potentially this Sunday,

783
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: which our various ward coming back in the secondary. But

784
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: you know, so far it's a defense that gives up

785
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: some volume, but the point total is down because it's

786
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: a clutch defense in terms of their takeaway ability, especially

787
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, red zone takeaways or takeaways and plus territory,

788
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: fourth down stops, turnovers, on downs, keysacks. That is what

789
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: is keeping the point total down. But again, this Sunday

790
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: it could turn into it could go from a good

791
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: defense to an elite or great defense because of the

792
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: secondary and the potential and the experience you have in

793
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: that part of the defense, which I think that's the

794
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: part of the defense that has to drive it, as

795
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: we know under Louis Arumo when he's had ultra success

796
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: playing elite teams with the Cincinnati Bengals when he was

797
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator there.

798
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 6: And it's a.

799
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 5: Final hour of the week. It's the most anticipated part

800
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: of my week. It's Taylor's tadbits.

801
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 8: Let's dive into the nitty gritty I never knew that.

802
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 8: Grab a seed and take notes their storylines all over

803
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 8: the upcoming games. Clark say, it's time time for Taylor's tidbits.

804
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: All right, Taylor's tidbitch here. There's a lot of them.

805
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: There's some juice to this Kansas City team. So I'm

806
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: going to combine a couple of them just so we

807
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: can get through this as fast as we can. So

808
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: we know about Kansas City and they're having a tough

809
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: goal of it record wise so far this year. Right,

810
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: they're five and five, third place in the AFC West.

811
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: They are three plus games out of first place in

812
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: their own division for the first time in the Patrick

813
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: Mahomes era. The last time the Chiefs did not make

814
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs two thy and fourteen. Patrick Mahomes was a

815
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: red shirt freshman then at Texas Tech. So I think

816
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: that matters today because the Colts are going to see

817
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: a desperate Chiefs team on Sunday who have never lost

818
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: three games in a row ever under Patrick Mahomes when

819
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: he's been under center for the Kansas City Chiefs. So

820
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fans think this Chiefs dynasty is coming

821
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: to an end. Not so fast, dudes. All Right, the

822
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Chiefs last year, they won by an

823
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: average of six points per game through ten weeks. This year,

824
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Chiefs actually have a better point differential,

825
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: winning by an average up seven points per game, and

826
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: they have a better point differential so far this year

827
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: than they did all of last year when they were

828
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: fifteen and two. So the Chiefs are still moving the ball.

829
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: They're still a lead on both sides of the ball. Offensively,

830
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: they ranked top ten in scoring their top five and

831
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: in passing their top seven. In total offense, they've only

832
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: committed six turnovers on the season, and they're really good

833
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: inside the red zone. And as you guys have discussed

834
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: all week long, here the biggest difference this year for

835
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City compared to last year. They're just not winning

836
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: the close games. They're zero to five and one score

837
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: games this year, which is so unlike the Chiefs because

838
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: beginning in the twenty twenty three regular season and on

839
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty four regular season and postseason, the

840
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs rattled off in NFL record seventeen consecutive victories in

841
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: one score game. So again, I think this is going

842
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: to be a great game that comes down to the wire,

843
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: and I think the team that is better in crunch

844
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: time is going to be the team that wins the game.

845
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about where the game is being

846
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: played this Sunday. It's a Arrowhead Stadium, arguably the tough

847
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: one of the toughest places to play in the NFL

848
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: for the opposing team. It opened in nineteen seventy two.

849
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: But you go back to twenty and fourteen, the Chiefs

850
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: had this setup here where Chiefs fans set a Guinness

851
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: World record for the loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium.

852
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans that night, on a Monday night football game,

853
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: they reached a peak decibel level of one hundred and

854
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: forty two point two. Now you ask yourself how loud

855
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: is that? One hundred and forty two decibels. Is the

856
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: equivalent to a jet engine taking off. That is the

857
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: level of an indy car at full speed, That is

858
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: the level of fireworks going off at close range. Sounds

859
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: at that level are above the human paying threshold, which

860
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: is around one hundred and twenty decibels, and are considered

861
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: painful and dangerous by the CDC. Exposures to sounds at

862
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty two decibels at a consistent level,

863
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: even for short periods of time. Throw that in there, too.

864
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: That can cause physical pain, ear drum rupture, and permanent

865
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: hearing damage. All right, So the Colts have to they

866
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: have to weather that decibel level storm coming up on Sunday,

867
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: And if you're a Chiefs fan, go to the game

868
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: at your own risks. And then the last one I

869
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: have is the Colts have this heck over the Kansas

870
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Right, They've topped the Chiefs in each of

871
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: the last two games. You go back to twenty nineteen

872
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: and again in twenty twenty two, but including the playoffs,

873
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is one in two against the Colts in

874
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is the only team that Patrick Mahomes has never

875
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: beaten in the regular season. So if he wins on Sunday,

876
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: he'll join Tom Brady as the only quarterback to beat

877
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: thirty one other teams at age thirty or younger. And

878
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: on top of Mahomes, Andy Reid, the head coach for

879
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: Kansas City, he hadn't had much success against the Colts either.

880
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: Andy Reid has the fourth most wins in NFL history,

881
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: but he's just three and seven all time against the Colts,

882
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: including if you go back to Kevin, I know you

883
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: remember this that at bic loss for the Chiefs. In

884
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen playoffs, the Colts trailed by twenty eight

885
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: points came back to win forty five forty four in

886
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 1: the wild card game at Lucas Oil Stadium. So those

887
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: are the Taylor tidbits we got, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes

888
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: Death Bowl levels. What else can you want on a

889
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Friday morning, boys.

890
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 5: Boy, like a Thanksgiving feast. Just pick and choose from

891
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 5: a variety of different angles.

892
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: That was X.

893
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 5: I feel like I just left Country Kitchen. That was

894
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 5: excellent match.

895
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 6: I know Jet engines.

896
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 5: May I'm not gonna lie. When he went CDC on us,

897
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 5: I started thinking I was getting swab before attending Colts

898
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: practice today and back in the coach.

899
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 6: Well, those tests were invasive.

900
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 5: Matt Taylor. My favorite memory, well I shouldn't say favorite,

901
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 5: but the memory I have non t Y Hilton over

902
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 5: the top, non Andrew Luck Superman from that game. I

903
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 5: remember Deric Rogers, Yeah, catching like an Alec Pierce ball,

904
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 5: you know, one of those like, oh yeah, he's somewhere

905
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 5: down there, let's throw it up to him direct. I

906
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 5: mean the Colts were getting blown out. I mean they

907
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 5: were down. I would say probably at least twenty one,

908
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 5: twenty four to twenty eight something like that. Early in

909
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 5: the third quarter and Andrew luck Heaved won down there

910
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 5: to Dirict Rogers and it was one of those fifty

911
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: yard chunks that got a quick score. And I want

912
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 5: to say, maybe Mathis had a strip sack of Alex

913
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 5: Smith on the next series and next thing, you know,

914
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 5: that place, that place turned into some decibel levels of

915
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 5: you know, Alex on lap two hundred.

916
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. For my money, you know, I've been to every

917
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: Coult game since two thousand and eight. I don't think

918
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: I missed one home game in that span. And for

919
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: my money, that is the loudest moment in the history

920
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: of that building. And I don't know if they keep

921
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: track of those things, but for my money, that is

922
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: the loudest moment. I mean literally snatching victory from the

923
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: jaws of defeat. And it's funny the reason why I

924
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: brought up that game, it's it's kind of fresh in

925
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: my memory because I like, whatever day it was, like

926
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: the second or third day of training camp, some production

927
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: crew came into town in conjunction with NFL Films, and

928
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: they asked me to be a part of a documentary

929
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: chronicling the NFL's Greatest Comebacks, and they picked that game

930
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: for one of their episodes, and so I did you know,

931
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: a couple of one offs for him, and I had

932
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: completely forgotten about because I went back and watched that

933
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: game to kind of refresh my memory of it. I

934
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: had completely forgotten about the Derick Rogers fifty plus yard touchdown.

935
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean, in order to in order to have a

936
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: comeback like that of that magnitude, when you're down twenty

937
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: eight points, you have to score quickly because you just

938
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: don't have enough time. You're not going to get enough

939
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: possessions and stop in order to pull it off. So

940
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: if you do it, you have to do it quickly.

941
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: And as to think, in that second half had like

942
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: five scoring possessions of less than two minutes and big

943
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: plays within it. And that was just epic. And I

944
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: mean that was a completely different era for the chiefs

945
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was a part of it. But you know,

946
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: in terms of a moment for the Colts, that was

947
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: an all timer for sure.

948
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 5: Okay, now you got my mind thinking loudest moment in

949
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 5: Lucas Oil Stadium history. You brought up obviously that game

950
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 5: you know probably the Hilton touchdown.

951
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: Would it was the Hilton play for sure?

952
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 3: Right?

953
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 5: I think of the Jonathan Taylor run against New England

954
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 5: on the Saturday night a few years ago, when he

955
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 5: broke into the open field. I would assume Robert Mathis

956
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 5: getting Peyton from behind in the end zone where Eric

957
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 5: Waldon almost jumped on it there. I would assume that

958
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 5: would be up there, maybe fourth and two against New England,

959
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 5: Melvin Bullet making the play. That's early Lucas Oil years.

960
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 5: Those are some of the others I would probably throw

961
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 5: on that list. I'm sure I'm forgetting several others.

962
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: No, you took the words right out of my mouth.

963
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: Those would be the ones I would circle too. I

964
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: didn't have a great perspective of the Melbourne Bullet hit

965
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: just because I was in the press box and you're

966
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: kind of in caged up there. The other ones I

967
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: was actually on the field for and I can attest to.

968
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: So hopefully some more magic the rest of this year

969
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: at home for the Colts, trying to close out the

970
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: division and trying to get a home playoff game for

971
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: the first time since twenty fourteen, that would be the goal.

972
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun. Hey, one quick

973
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: question for me before we go about the game on

974
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: Sunday with this beefed up secondary now Sauce Gardner coming

975
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 2: in having a few days to kind of fire, what's

976
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: going on? Maybe you get Mooney ward back. What do

977
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 2: you think that on a rumo defense looks like against

978
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: rashe Rice and Travis Kelcey and Patrick Mahomes, how do

979
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 2: you think they play that?

980
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question. I mean, I think the

981
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: biggest X factor, Jeff is what do the Colts do

982
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: on Travis Kelce? I mean, is it you know, is

983
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: it Kenny Moore? Do you play that match up? Or

984
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,959
Speaker 1: perhaps I mean a guy who's been I think really

985
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: good since he's joined the Colts against tight ends is

986
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Jones. Do you find a little bit of a

987
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 1: niche role for him and play sub packages where he's

988
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: on the field and can focus just on the matchup

989
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: of Travis Kelce. I had this written down on one

990
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: of my Taylor's tidbits but didn't get to it just

991
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: in terms of time. But since you brought it up,

992
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: I think Travis Kelcey, he does so much, so well,

993
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: but where he obviously impacts the game. And you know,

994
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: we watch the Chiefs every week because they're on Prime time.

995
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: They play, you know, every Sunday Monday Night. But it's

996
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: yards after the catch for him. He's got the most

997
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: yards after the catch ever in the history of the

998
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: NFL by an NFL tight end. He's got over six

999
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: thousand career yards on YAK. In fact, the only the

1000
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: only player he trails in NFL history and yards after

1001
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: the catch is Marshall Fulk. So you just can't let

1002
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey turn check downs into big play first downs and

1003
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: continue drives for Patrick Mahomes. And also in saying that,

1004
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of a little bit of

1005
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: a tangent, but you can't let Patrick Mahomes get out

1006
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: of the pocket in this game. And the Colts have

1007
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: done a really good job of that each of the

1008
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: last two times they played New England. Excuse me to

1009
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it's not necessarily the sack total and the

1010
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: number of times you get Patrick Mahomes down in this game.

1011
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: You just can't let him scramble because he's a deadly

1012
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: scrambled player, either with his legs rushing the football beyond

1013
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage or that's when he kind of

1014
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: turns into a short stop with the underhand throws and

1015
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: the behind the back stuff and the side arm. It's

1016
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 1: kind of like backyard football. So you know, from from

1017
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: a secondary standpoint, it's who what do you do in

1018
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: terms of the matchups and how do you slow down

1019
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce from having a big game with a high

1020
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: volume of catch that then turns into a high volume

1021
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: of receiving yards with yards after those catches.

1022
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, have fun, You're back in it Sunday.

1023
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 2: We'll look forward to pregame at ten am, the kickoff

1024
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 2: at one and Colts Chiefs this is Is this the

1025
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 2: biggest game the Colts have played? How long? How how

1026
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 2: many years have been now since they played a game

1027
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 2: like this?

1028
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: M Well, I mean, you know, I think it's a

1029
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: big game. The math doesn't say it's an enormous game

1030
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: because you've got you've built up such a a you've

1031
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: done such a good job of, you know, racking up

1032
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 1: wins and giving yourself a margin for air. You know,

1033
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: I think the biggest game the Colts have played in

1034
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: in recent times was just that winning your in game.

1035
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: He gets Houston that didn't go their way, but that's

1036
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: kind of a storyline of where the Cults are at

1037
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: right because they're coming off of by They've got some

1038
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: they've had some time off. They're eight and two, but

1039
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: they still accomplish nothing, right. I mean eight and two

1040
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: is great, it still gets you nothing. We've seen in

1041
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 1: recent past in the AFC South teams that start well,

1042
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: they've collapsed. You know, Houston faded towards the end of

1043
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: last year, but they were able to still kind of

1044
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: hang on for dear life a couple of years ago.

1045
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: I think in twenty twenty two, the Jaguars got off

1046
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: to a great start, they fell apart. They couldn't close

1047
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: the deal. We've seen in twenty twenty one. The Colts

1048
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: have two opportunities towards the end of the season to

1049
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: clinch and basically punch their ticket to the playoffs. They

1050
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: had a ninety eight percent chance going into Week sixteen.

1051
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: Couldn't get it done against the Raiders. Couldn't get it

1052
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: done against the worst team in the NFL that year,

1053
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the final game of the

1054
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: season twenty twenty three. As they said, the winning your

1055
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: in game against the Texans. I think the scars of

1056
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: those negative circumstances are still with the core group of

1057
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: players that are still here with the team, and so

1058
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: they're going to use that to their advantage and put

1059
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: things into perspective with seven games to go here in

1060
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: this regular season.

1061
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: Hi, buddy, well listen for you Sunday, good time.

1062
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: All right, guys, have a great weekend.

1063
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 3: Thanks for having
