1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: He will be on at Grand Park in Westfield.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: Certainly from a temperature standpoint, although it's a gorgeous day,

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: good day to be out in Westfield, going to be

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: packed in the world of sports here over the next

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: couple of days. Colts Packers joint practice today three o'clock

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: and then the live golf outing taking place this weekend

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: as well. Right now at Colts camp there are a

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: couple of guys throwing the football around in the fan zone.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Eddie wins the last time he threw a football like

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: throw a pass, a true pass of a football couple

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Probably how far do you think you

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: can throw a ball in the air right now?

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Thirty forty maybe yards.

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: You can add one of the things that it's funny

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: I haven't thrown a football forever, and the other day

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: I was I never realized that I have some sort

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: of a like rotator cuff issue until I picked up

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: a football and was trying to throw it and was like,

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: what in the world I mean? I literally it was.

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: It was br absolute brutal. Kevin Bowen joins us. Now,

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: of course you hear him on the Fan Morning Show

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: with James Boyd and Jeff Rickord Kevin. If we went

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: out right now in the backyard and threw a football around,

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: how far do you think you could throw it?

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: Thirty seven yards?

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not bad.

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it was down win forty one.

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what about when you were like eighteen, also thirty

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: seven yards? Or do you think it's gone down?

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: No, seemingly has gone down.

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: In my mediocre athletic profile, it's a miracle. I haven't

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: shrunk yet. So yeah, I just wait, Yeah, I can't

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: imagine it would have been much more than that.

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, just wait, what what Like I said that had

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: a physical recently and they listed to me under six

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: four and I'm like, no, I've been six for my

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: whole life now not anymore.

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: So that process is pure.

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 5: Yeah. That makes me a little nervous because I'm six three.

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: I'm six feet on the driver's license, I'm six three

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: at the doctor. I mean it's legit. And you definitely

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 5: and then Shawn me, So if you're shrinking, then then

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: I feel.

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: Like you might be passing me. You may be in

45
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: the left lane on me. I don't know.

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this. They just open up.

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Looks like the gates just open. Fans are arriving. First

48
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: three that I see are wearing green and yellow. Packers

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: are here three o'clock against the Colts for a joint

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: practice and then preseason game number two. So you talked

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: this morning Kevin from the green Bay side of things,

52
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: and I am curious if the advantage in this joint

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: practice with green Bay will be what because green Bay

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: can kind of bring what look that will challenge the

55
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Colts and therefore this is going to be a good

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: workout for them.

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 5: Well, unfortunately, green Bay's really banged up, so you know

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 5: the Jordan loves. You know, they're pretty deep, but wide

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: out they might not have a stut or two, but

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: you know that is obviously going to be impacted today,

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: so that's a little bit of a bummer. I would,

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 5: I guess, go to their trenches, know O line and

63
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 5: D line. You know, I felt like in week two

64
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 5: when these teams met last year, the coaches got whipped

65
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: up front, so I'd probably go there. You know, Milik Willis,

66
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 5: he did enough in week two. It's not like you

67
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 5: lit you up, but you know he sounds like a

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 5: struggled in camp and threw a couple of picks. The

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: other day. So you know, Green Bay, you know, obviously

70
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: there's urgency here in Indianapolis kind of goes out saying

71
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: but like they got smoked in their preseason opener and

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: that was against the Jets and they played their starters.

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'd probably say O line and D line

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: would would be where I would point to. You know, defensively,

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: they're also missing there's hot safety Zavier McKinney, so yeah,

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: I'd probably go there. And defensively as a whole, green

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 5: Bay did a great job, you know last year against

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson company in that week two matchups, so you know,

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: that's probably the side of the ball where you know,

80
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: they aren't as banged up as a little bit second

81
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 5: the secondary, but not as banged up as they aren't

82
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 5: quarterback and White.

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: Now, Kevin, let me tell you the one thing that

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: and I want you to talk to me off this ledge. Okay,

85
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: I have to remind myself that this is still preseason

86
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: and that it is still training camp. But based on

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: the fact that now training camp is about to shift

88
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: away from Graham Park, you know, back to the Colts Complex,

89
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: then it feels like there should be a turn of

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: the corner in some areas, and I don't think I

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: think the Colts have a good roster. I really do.

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: I think I credit to Chris Ballard. There are areas

93
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: where I think they have some depth, and I think

94
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: they have some good pieces. I don't know how many

95
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: great pieces they have, but I'm worried now that there's

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: just enough body of work to see and say to yourself,

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: they're stuck in that vat of mediocrity, and I don't

98
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: know how you get out of that unless you're gonna draft.

99
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: You know, one through five. They're not that bad, but

100
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: they're not good enough at this point to still be

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: a legitimate deep playoff contender. And it feels like ten

102
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: and seven, nine in eight and nine is the inevitability

103
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: based on what we've seen to this point. Talk me

104
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: off that ledge.

105
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: Uh No, I don't think I really can.

106
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 6: Uh Now, I.

107
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 5: Guess if you want me to spend in a positive

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 5: direction for you, You know those win totals you through

109
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: out there in the AFC South that can actually do something.

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 5: They might not win the division, but you know if

111
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 5: you beat the right teams that can get to the wildcard,

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: and my right teams, I mean, you have the tiebreaker,

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: and that's why I will continue to beat this drum

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: pretty pretty hard for the next.

115
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: Three or four weeks.

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: I just think Miami and Denver right out of the

117
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 5: gate are massive because those are the teams that I

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: think will be in your vicinity in that wildcard range

119
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 5: there and you know seven seven, I'd have to look

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 5: it up, but i'd say more often than not since

121
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 5: we've expanded to you know, seven playoff teams in each conference,

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: I would think that is enough to get you in.

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: Sometimes tiebreakers might need to be on your side, so

124
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 5: you know, that's the beauty I think of this division. Again,

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 5: it's not like, you know, Houston clinched it with three

126
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: weeks ago last season, and it's not like they were

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 5: It's not like they were the one seed and they

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 5: were running away with the entire conference, not like they

129
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: were the Cleveland Cavaliers this year in the NBA. They

130
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: just clinched it because the rest of the division was

131
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 5: so bad. So you know that's what again, honestly, just

132
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: it adds to the frustration. I said, it's earlier today.

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 5: You know, you haven't won the division in ten years,

134
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 5: and it's not like Mahomes for Allen or Lamar Jackson

135
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 5: or Manny or Brady or any of these quarterbacks have

136
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 5: been in the AFC South. You know, it's been a

137
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: very Obviously CJ. Stroud is looking like a nice player,

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: but before that, Ryan Tannehill was winning multiple division titles.

139
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 5: Rock Osweiler won a division titles. Lake Bortles I think

140
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: won a division title. I mean, you said some of

141
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 5: those names, and it makes you want to puke up

142
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: your your lunch.

143
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: Puke up did you say puke off your lunch or

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: puke up your lunch?

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: I hope I set up, but you know, I don't know.

146
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: I guess off from he offers.

147
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: The same sort of vivid imagery.

148
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: Cup was what I was going for.

149
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: There, fair enough.

150
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: No, there's no question about it. And you know I've

151
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: said before Kevin, the AFC South is the junk drawer

152
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: of divisions, right, I Mean it's the one that you

153
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: just kind of look at it and you're like, oh, yeah,

154
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,119
Speaker 2: I forgot that that they were around. And yet every

155
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: franchise has won the division twice since the last time

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Indianapolis was able to say that they were division champions,

157
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: and that's troubling for certain. So the you know, there

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: is work to be done there. Again, I think there

159
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: are some shines to this roster though, so let's focus

160
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: on the positive for right now. At this point through camp,

161
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: the areas that you look at and you say, okay,

162
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: if I had to predict it, the twenty twenty five

163
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: Colts Highlight video is going to feature the strong play

164
00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: at what position, you know, position of the ranks.

165
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's like, I don't know if

166
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: there's one that I say, you know, say is easily

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 5: above the rest. But I think he's definitely want to

168
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: submit individuals, you know, certainly Jonathan Taylor. I think Tyler

169
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: Warren is gonna have a very active season, a very

170
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: involved season in a variety of ways. You know, DeForrest

171
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: Buckner has looked like his normal self. I think flat

172
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: three lotsers had moments against quality starting tackles and Branden

173
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: Smith mainly that you really really like that, you know,

174
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: he would be a guy that I'll be watching today.

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 5: I again, does that translate when you're playing against different

176
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 5: competition there and Gruden Bay's got some pretty good tackles, So.

177
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I probably point there, you know, certainly in the secondary,

178
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 7: assuming health is there.

179
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 5: I think all the veterans Campbell or at Camp Wore

180
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: Taveri's Ward cam buying them and Kenny Moore I had

181
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: point to all three of those guys is definitely having

182
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: some strong moments, uh within camp you know, white out wise,

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: I think it's the group. It's probably more of by number,

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: you know, strength and numbers than it is maybe overall

185
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 5: atop the atop the depth sharp. But yeah, those are

186
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: those are something that stand out to me.

187
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: The you know, Tyler Warren clearly has made plays Kevin

188
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: and immediately you can see, Okay, there's a reason that

189
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: he not only was drafted by the Colts where he was,

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: but why Penn State was able to use him in

191
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: so many different areas. Have the Colts given glimpse at

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: all as to what ways they could use Tyler Warren?

193
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Or they are they for right now strictly getting him

194
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: acclimated as an over the middle you know, tight end

195
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: receiving tight end and that's it. Or are they gonna

196
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: shift him around to different areas offensively?

197
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: Oh no, they're going to shift them around, and they'd

198
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: be foolish not to. I think they were part of

199
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 5: the massive intrigue they had with Warren was what Penn

200
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 5: State did with him. And you know, I think back

201
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: to me as a psycho Notre Dame fan in the

202
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: Orange Bowl. Honestly, my thrill level when I notice Penn

203
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: State wasn't giving Tyler Warren the ball on an individual play,

204
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: and again it didn't matter how it was, so it

205
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 5: could be as a Wildcat quarterback. And I think you've

206
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: already seen if you go back to Thursday night. Thursday

207
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: Night in that preseason opener, he had three catches, I

208
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 5: guess a fourth that was called back. All four were

209
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 5: different ways, and I thought to myself after the game, Wow,

210
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: you know he had four catches and four targets, and

211
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: I can already think off the top of my head

212
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 5: at Grand Park three or four other different routes, different

213
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: ways They've got him the ball that we didn't even

214
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: see against Baltimore. So yeah, I think he's a very

215
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 5: intriguing chess chess piece and I think change Sichen will

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: be very open to utilizing that. You know pretty quickly.

217
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: What Kevin Bowen is our guest. Do you hear in

218
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: the mornings, of course on the Fan Morning Show with

219
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Rickard and James Boyd Colt's getting set three o'clock

220
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: today joint practice with the Green Bay Packers. Kevin will

221
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: have all of the coverage on that, of course at

222
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: one of seventy five the fan dot Com as well

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: as tomorrow morning. Kevin from an injury and health standpoint,

224
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: any progression or anything that we're looking for of those

225
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: coming back, and specifically I'm talking about at cornerback, notably

226
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: because that's the area where it looks like Indies the most.

227
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Dang.

228
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't get like great vibes that you know,

229
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: all of a sudden we'll see anymore. Jalen Jones and

230
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 5: Juju Brent's out there today for example. You know, Shanezak

231
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: hasn't offered up any timeline to timetables, but you know

232
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: those would certainly be a top the list. Nick Cross

233
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: has missed about a week. I think he got hurt

234
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 5: the joint practice last week was Baltimore with a groin injury.

235
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: He has been out there but not participated. Hunter Wooler

236
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: has gotten those reps quity pay has in this similar timeframe.

237
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: He actually played the preseason game just for a series

238
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 5: with a hip injury, and Alex Pierce he got hurt

239
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 5: I think it was either Saturday or Sunday's practice with

240
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: a groin injury. We haven't seen him so offensively, I mean,

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 5: they are about as healthy as you could ask for

242
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 5: minus peers. I mean, they're what I'm missing somebody. I

243
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 5: think they got kind of their eleven starters healthy and

244
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 5: really that's been the case for the bulk of camp

245
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 5: defensively has than where they're more in the banged up category.

246
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: Jalen Carli's you know, the guy.

247
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 5: That I think many thought would be the starting linebacker

248
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 5: next Asire Franklin in week one. He has I think

249
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: lost the grip on that starting job, and he also

250
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 5: has missed the last week with an ankle injury, so

251
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: I would throw him into that vote as well.

252
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: It almost feels like, to be honest with you, that

253
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: you know, Carlai's is one that the we in terms

254
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: of the media are those that cover the Colts talked

255
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: a lot about Jayleen Carlis going into the year, and

256
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 2: a lot of that is because Kevin. They talked a

257
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: lot about him in particularly a year ago. My correct

258
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: in saying that that is a player that Chris Ballard

259
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: as much as any If you had to make like

260
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: a pie chart or you know, a spreadsheet on the

261
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: number of times that a player was talked up versus

262
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: the number of times that they showed flashes on the field.

263
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: Carlais and I'm not saying he's a bad player, but

264
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: they have been outwardly very high on him for the

265
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: last couple of years, have they not.

266
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they drafted him fits round pick out on Missouri.

267
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 5: He was a college safety and they saw turn him

268
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: in the linebacker, and yeah, I would say they have

269
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 5: been definitely high on him. I think it's part of

270
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: the reason why they were so content and letting ej.

271
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 5: Speed walk in free agency, and really they did nothing else.

272
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 5: You know, they didn't draft the linebacker and then they

273
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: you know, outside of Joe Bachi, who has primarily been

274
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 5: a special teamer in his career, definitely lately, they haven't

275
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 5: really done anything a linebacker throughout the off season. So yeah,

276
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 5: I think that's fair. But Jake, I think we also

277
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: have to remind ourselves you almost need to start labeling

278
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: people as and this goes through any business. You label

279
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: people for who made the higher and now who's making

280
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 5: the highers and the fires. And Gus Bradley was part

281
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 5: of that regime. You know, Richard Smith, the linebackers coach,

282
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 5: who you know, kind of carved out what it looked

283
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 5: like for Carlive. He is no longer here, so it's

284
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 5: different position, coach, different coordinator. It's the same GM, but defensively,

285
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: you know, there will be guys that will probably have

286
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 5: to label at some point are they Bradley guys or

287
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: are they Anarrumo guys? And the Bradley guys are gonna

288
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 5: have to prove themselves, you know, to a new defensive coordinator.

289
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things Kevin, Kevin Bow and

290
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: our guest you and I talked about this when we

291
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: were together in the mornings, and I'm maybe I'm too

292
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: critical here, but it seemed to me like there was

293
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: a time, you know, three or four years ago where

294
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard was building the Colts in a way. I'm

295
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: not going to say that was antiquated, but there was

296
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: a more old school roster approach or scheme approach than

297
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: what the rest of the league was doing. And that

298
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: now they've kind of come back a little bit. In

299
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: other words, the you know, the three yards and a

300
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: cloud of dust. They were never there per se, but

301
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: just in terms of wide open space guys. It felt

302
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: like they were slow to that party. Have they have

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: they gone directly in a way to kind of get

304
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: back more to the way the rest of the league plays,

305
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: If that makes sense.

306
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's some truth to that. I mean,

307
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 5: he's always been enamored with athletic traits, but I think

308
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: positional value is not something he would agree with. And

309
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 5: maybe over time he started to realize that he you know,

310
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 5: needs to be agreeing with that. But you know, just

311
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 5: think back. You know, his first ever pick was a safety.

312
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: If you want to go back all the way to

313
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: the league cooker, you know, you draft to guard six overall,

314
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 5: you draft the linebacker round so you draft the guard

315
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 5: and round another guard in round two. You know, I

316
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: guess I'd have to go back draft by draft. You know,

317
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: Bobby Okarek obviously was taking you know, fine players, but again,

318
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: value matters. And now I think you've seen you know,

319
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 5: the Richardson draft, for example, the quarterback, cornerback, and wide out.

320
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: I believe with the first three selections. So you know,

321
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: I think that is one that you know, kind of plays.

322
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: Into it of you know, you finally have seen a

323
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: little bit more of like, yeah, there are some positions

324
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: that that do carry more late than others in this league,

325
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: and there's others that he would rank high and he's

326
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: just flat out missed.

327
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: You know.

328
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 7: Defensive end in corner would probably be the two that

329
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: come to mind the most of you know, when he

330
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 7: has drafted those, you know, selections high, they just largely

331
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 7: haven't worked out. So it's probably a little bit of both,

332
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 7: I guess kind of summarize at all. Yes, I think

333
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 7: positional value has not been one that he holds in

334
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 7: that has high regard as others.

335
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 5: Maybe he's come around a little bit on that, but

336
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 5: even in the years when he didn't necessarily hold positions

337
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 5: in super high regard, when he has taken those you

338
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: know high in drafts, not a lot of them have

339
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: been hits.

340
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Kevin.

341
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: This is a big week or week and a half

342
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: for what, let's say, two or three players that maybe

343
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: did not think they would be in this position, but

344
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: either because they are trying to cement what has been

345
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: a very good camp for them that has put them

346
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: in a spot you didn't anticipate, or because they have

347
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: yet to really flip a switch and the time is now.

348
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 5: Well, I mean outside a quarterback and on the heathers,

349
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 5: really taking it, taking it. I think it's probably been

350
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 5: a quiet camp for Michael Pittman Jr. He thought, maybe

351
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: that's not where you're going with the question. But you know,

352
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 5: come back from the back injuries that you know, probably

353
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: a few too many drops and I don't know, it

354
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: just hasn't had as normal of a camp as I

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 5: would go to. You know. Unfortunately, I think Danny Pincher

356
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: was hurt a little bit by injury, but that center

357
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: battle never really feel like got to be you know, real,

358
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 5: real defensively. Maybe a little bit more from Quinny pay

359
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: I think he had a moment or two early in camp,

360
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: and again, I know the injuries takes him off the

361
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 5: field for the last few days, but you'd like to

362
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: see more. I definitely throw in car Lies, who we

363
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 5: talked about earlier.

364
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

365
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people I think internally would

366
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: have written him, written him in as a starter before

367
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: the beginning of camp, and now he's not that and

368
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 5: so he would probably be in that mix as well.

369
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, those are probably the ones that kind of

370
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 5: stand out to me.

371
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: The the offensive line, I would think, also, this is

372
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: going to be a good opportunity for them because Green Bay,

373
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: you know, any pointed this out. I think it's a

374
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: good point green Bay does have. Even though they have

375
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: been dinged up, they do present some fairly aggressive looks

376
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: and some fairly active movement on the defensive line that

377
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: I think is going to be a challenge for that

378
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: offensive line. And I like the group that they have, Kevin,

379
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: but would you agree this is going to be a

380
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 2: decent test for them, Yeah, definitely.

381
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 5: Again, I kind of go back to that Week two

382
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 5: matchup where I thought they really kind of won the

383
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage and were able to, you know, control

384
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 5: the game from that aspect to it. I mean, Josh

385
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 5: Jacobs ran all over you, and I thought they did

386
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 5: a nice shot.

387
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: Against you on the other side of the ball.

388
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: Jeff Hafley was their defensive coordinator, came over from Boston

389
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: College last year. So yeah, I think that's a fair statement.

390
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 5: I think anytime you get into these like trench practices.

391
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: You know, I brought up a lot too earlier. You know,

392
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 5: how much of him winning right now is he's found

393
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 5: a little bit of checking the armor of Braydon Smith

394
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 5: and he just keeps on going back to that, you know.

395
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: I think it's just important when you see the same

396
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 5: guy every single day, particularly in the matchups that can

397
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: be one on one, you know how much of it

398
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 5: is again just wow. I simply know when this guy's

399
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 5: we can boom, I can attack him there.

400
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think those.

401
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: Are and really today today, because again Green Bays will

402
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 5: not play the Shards coming up on Saturday.

403
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: Kevin.

404
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Obviously three o'clock, everything gets underway here between the Colts

405
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: and the Packers. The gates are already open, fans have arrived.

406
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: What time does the Kevin Bowen photo and autograph session begin?

407
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: Well, and fortunately I don't think that's ever taken place.

408
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: The only thing I do up there is took up

409
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: animal poop, which you've seen, you know first hand.

410
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: Did we determine what animal that was? Was that you

411
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: thought it was grass clippings? And we determined I believe

412
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: we thought it was coyote dung right.

413
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: Well, honestly, and I don't think this type of dung

414
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: would look like the shape of the animal that we're

415
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 5: going to describe. But that damn rooster is so loud,

416
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: it's got to have something inside its body that it's

417
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 5: got to get rid of So.

418
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: Maybe it was the old rooster there that was crowing.

419
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 3: So yes, I will. I will probably be.

420
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 5: Arriving closer to three quol is an NFL referee meeting

421
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 5: at two o'clock the new rules for this year. Then

422
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 5: I'll be attending at a local hotel where we work

423
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 5: out them before that.

424
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: What you're an NFL referee and you need to be

425
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: in this meeting. Is that what this is? Or they

426
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: just are allowing you the privy to see what the

427
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: new rules are.

428
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

429
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, each year they go to you know, obviously the

430
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 5: training camps. I believe there'll be NFL res at training

431
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 5: camp today. Sometimes they're collegiate rests, so they're making their

432
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 5: stop and I think it's a nice thing they do.

433
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 5: They you know, sometimes show whatever five ten minute video

434
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 5: of these are the emphasis on rules this year, et cetera,

435
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: et cetera. So it's not the most entertaining thing, but

436
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: you know, when one of those plays shows up in

437
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: a colts game this year, at least you have a

438
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: little bit of education.

439
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: All right, Very well, well, we look forward to it.

440
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: Enjoy the meeting, and then I'm assuming that you will

441
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: if there are any like major things that even though

442
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: I realize they're just explaining these rules, but that's one

443
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: of the things you.

444
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Can put up on the website.

445
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: I know you'll have coverage as well and what happens

446
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: between the Colts and the Packers not only at one

447
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: oh seven five the fan dot Com, but then tomorrow

448
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: you'll be discussing it with Jeff and James as well.

449
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Kevin, Yeah, thank you, Jack all right, Kevin

450
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Bowen us.

451
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor is the voice of the Colts.

452
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: We're at Grand Park up in Westfield, and I don't

453
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: know how long people had lost this there, but you

454
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: had joked off the top that you've talked so much

455
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: about this football team. So let's begin by talking about

456
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. And I know you haven't gotten

457
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: probably a lot of chance to get into them yet,

458
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: but when you do look at it, one of the things,

459
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: if you're Shane Steichen, that you're pleased about in having

460
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: the Packers be the team that the Colts have to

461
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: scrimmage and then play in a preseason game, YEP, is

462
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 2: the fact that they will give a look that is

463
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: good for Indianapolis in what way?

464
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 8: Well, they were really good last year they were eleven

465
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 8: and five, and they were the only team in the

466
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 8: NFL to be top five on offense and defense. And

467
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 8: they played in a really incredible division. You know, three

468
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 8: teams in the NFC North that all made the playoffs.

469
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 8: Of course, you had the Lions and Vikings that went

470
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 8: down to the the last game of the season. I

471
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 8: think it was. Both teams won fourteen games. But they're

472
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 8: really banged up, just like the Colts in some key

473
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 8: areas wide receiver wise. I don't know about Romeo Dobb

474
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 8: playing today. I don't know about Jayden Reid playing today.

475
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 8: Dontavian Wicks is on ir excuse me, Christian Watson is

476
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 8: on pup.

477
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 6: Dontavian Wicks is banged up.

478
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 8: They had to sign a wide receiver yesterday, but they

479
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 8: still have you know, from a philosophy standpoint, just an

480
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 8: old school mentality.

481
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 6: You know, Matt Leafleour is a great coach.

482
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 8: You go back to Week two last year when these

483
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 8: two teams played in the regular season.

484
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 6: They didn't have Jordan Love.

485
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 8: Everybody knew the Colts were going to see a heavy

486
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 8: dose of the run game with Josh Jacobs, and they killed.

487
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 8: They still couldn't stop it. Jacobs ran for one hundred

488
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 8: and fifty one yards. As a team, they ran for

489
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 8: over two hundred yards in the first half alone. They

490
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 8: had fifty three rushing attempts for the game.

491
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: Matt Jacobs is a I mean, he's great back right.

492
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: That said was there's something also in the trenches that

493
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: Green Bay was able to whether it be the scheme

494
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: that they did with their offensive line or just the

495
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: size of their line that hampered the Colts. That is

496
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: an area that you feel like the Colts have improved

497
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: upon or is it still a question mark?

498
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 8: Well, if you go back, I mean the week two

499
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 8: games specifically, they did a lot of misdirection stuff they did.

500
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 8: They got on the edges very effectively, especially in the

501
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 8: first half. They did some misdirection. It's a good point

502
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 8: about the offensive line. I don't mean if I had

503
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 8: the answer, you know, the Colts would have been able

504
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 8: to figure that out sooner in the game than they did.

505
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 6: But that's the reality of what happened.

506
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 8: Jacobs and the you know, their other running backs, Emmanuel Wilson,

507
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 8: they did a nice job of getting on the edges

508
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 8: and getting outside the numbers very easily.

509
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 6: In the first half of that game.

510
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 8: But the offensive line is very good that I think

511
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 8: you know, that unit for the Packers coming into this

512
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 8: joint practice, I think is pretty well intact as far

513
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 8: as injuries are concerned. Defensively, they're banged up too. I

514
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 8: mean Nate Hobbs, their corners banged up, Xavier mckenney's banged up.

515
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 8: Kway Walker, they're starting linebacker. May not play today, may

516
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 8: not play on Saturday. But I still think there's a

517
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 8: whole lot of value in some lessons you can get

518
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 8: out of this joint practice. Loui an Arumo the other

519
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 8: day talked to We're not going to game plan for

520
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 8: the Packers. We're not going to put anything exotic in.

521
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 8: We just want to see, especially in the secondary now

522
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 8: that that's banged up, guys like Jonathan Edwards and Alex

523
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 8: Johnson just want to see him play right. You're here

524
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 8: in camp. You're invited to this camp for a reason.

525
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 8: Flash your traits. Play football right. If you're a defensive lineman,

526
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 8: get off blocks, set edges, maintain leverage. If you're a

527
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: guy in the back end, you know you have to

528
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 8: play with good coverage, instincts and principles.

529
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 6: Stick to your fundamentals. There.

530
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 8: So I still think there's there's some good value that

531
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 8: the guys on the back end of the roster and

532
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 8: guys that are going to play because of injuries can

533
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 8: get out of the next couple of days.

534
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this.

535
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor's the voice of the Colts joining us here

536
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: Colts Packers three o'clock practice today at Grand Park. I

537
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: talked about this last week and I want your thought

538
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: on it. It's a two part question, and part one

539
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: would be this. If you look at the corner position

540
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: and you just mentioned, you know, Jonathan Edwards, you know Johnson,

541
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: Guys that maybe weren't even household names and this circle

542
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: two months ago that now are right there in the mix.

543
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: And a lot of that is because of attrition, okay,

544
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: and the fact that there has been injury. If they

545
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: were to they if one of those guys makes the

546
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: roster because of the fact that others are dinged up,

547
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: does that potentially take a spot that from somebody elsewhere?

548
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: In other words, did they become the bid stealer on

549
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: selection Sunday?

550
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 8: Well, I think it depends on the injuries to guys

551
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 8: that are at that position, that those guys would make

552
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 8: the team over initially, right.

553
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, well, that's what I'm saying. If a Jalen Jones,

554
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: let's say Jalen Jones Juju Brentz.

555
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 8: I mean, if Jalen Jones starts on pup, that changes

556
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 8: everything versus starting the season active.

557
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 6: But he's still thinks a.

558
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: Few weeks or something. Yeah, you know what I mean.

559
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 8: So yeah, I think you and I talked about this

560
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 8: about a month ago or so going into training camp.

561
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 8: The bid stealing position on the team that could, in

562
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 8: my opinion, be affected the most is tied end.

563
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: That's why I was going to ask us.

564
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: The second half of that would be where that comes

565
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: at the cost of who.

566
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 8: Because I think, I mean, Mowley Cox and Tyler Warren

567
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 8: are securely on this team. I think Drew Ogletree Actually,

568
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 8: I think Will Mallory is probably more secure on this

569
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 8: team than Drew Ogletree is, because you do have a

570
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 8: blocking tight end in Mowiley Cox and I think Mallory

571
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 8: to a degree it's splitting hairs. But if you ask me,

572
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 8: in my opinion, he's probably outplayed ogle Tree a little bit,

573
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 8: at least in the past catches.

574
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: It's the more hybrid tight end between ogle Tree.

575
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 6: And Mally probably Mallory. Yeah, like that's what I mean.

576
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 8: Like I think Mowley, Cox and Ogletree's skill set, when

577
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 8: you boil it down, maybe is a little bit redundant.

578
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 8: But I still think you would like to keep four

579
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 8: tight ends ideally. But if you have to go heavy

580
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 8: at corner because of injuries, maybe a guy misses a

581
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 8: week or two with with Jones or Juju Brints, then

582
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 8: I think that might be the one position that you

583
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 8: might look at and say we can get by with

584
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 8: three tight ends initially at the beginning of the season.

585
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 8: Or hell, maybe you even say we get by with

586
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 8: no offensive lineman or nine defensive linemen instead of ten

587
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 8: in the trenches.

588
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

589
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 8: It's a really good question, and I think only two

590
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 8: guys have the answer.

591
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 2: To that, right, Chris Mallard, here's a really dumb question, Matt.

592
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: In your time doing this, do you see players that

593
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: I know that maybe a tiebreaker situation goes to the

594
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: guy that is the better special teams player, if that

595
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: makes sense. But how many players on a roster do

596
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: you think are ever kept specifically with special teams in mind,

597
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: Like we're keeping that guy four special teams and special

598
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: teams only, versus if there's a guy that's a darn good,

599
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: really good special teams performer, but that's kind of all

600
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: they do. Does he make the roster over a guy

601
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: that is a fringe at his position but can play

602
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: special teams as well.

603
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 6: It's a good question.

604
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 8: I mean for the Colts, they don't have Historically, they

605
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 8: haven't had too many Matthew Slaters, right, you know what

606
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 8: I mean, Like technically he's a wide receiver, but I

607
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 8: mean he played it over a decade in New England

608
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 8: and caught like less than five penns, you.

609
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

610
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 8: You know, Grant Steward or Grant Stewart's a good one,

611
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 8: you know, but even then, I mean Grant Stewart had

612
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 8: to play linebacker.

613
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: He had to go back to like Clifton Crosby was

614
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: on the road.

615
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I mean, I mean even Grant Stewart

616
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 8: last year had a game where you had like eighteen

617
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 8: or nineteen tackles, you know, and they trusted him to

618
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 8: play linebacker in a pinch, which he did. You know,

619
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 8: maybe like Jamie Silva, remember that name, the long hair

620
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 8: for the Colt he was the start too, didn't he did? Yeah,

621
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 8: I mean Ashton Dolan is he gives you tremendous special

622
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 8: teams value, but he's also doing a wide receiver.

623
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Ice piece for yeah, receiver, right.

624
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 8: You know, if Duland's your fifth or sixth wide receiver,

625
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 8: you could be doing way worse.

626
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 6: You know, you're right, So that's a good question.

627
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 8: Not not many guys, you know, you would pigeonhole just say, hey,

628
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 8: you're gonna play twenty five snaps to day and they're

629
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 8: all going to be on special teams?

630
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: Could you just never know? Do you ever call before

631
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: you call a game?

632
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: Do you ever actually called your counterpart or or your contemporary,

633
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: your colleague for the other franchise, like the green you know,

634
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: the Green Bay play by play.

635
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 6: Guy Wayne Larvie, So yeah, Wayne legend right now, right?

636
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: So do you ever do you ever match wits with

637
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: those guys the week leading up to a game? Like, Hey,

638
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: what what sort of things should I be looking for?

639
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: That? Yeah? You know what I mean.

640
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's a it's a pretty standard routine. At

641
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 8: the very least, go in the other team's booth. You know,

642
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 8: they either they seek me out or I seeked him out.

643
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 8: Whichever one happens first. But we'll we'll go in there

644
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 8: and just kind of catch up to talk shop. No, no,

645
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 8: I really haven't. I really haven't. I mean time anybody me,

646
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 8: come on, there's nobody for me to big time brother,

647
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 8: I mean even oh shoot, I'm forgetting his name right now, Legendary, Gosh,

648
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 8: why why can't I think of his name? Jake, Raiders,

649
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 8: Britt Mussburger. Even he was great. He did the Raiders

650
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 8: a couple of years, like he did the Raiders.

651
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 6: Yeah he did. Yeah, I did a couple of years.

652
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 6: He's not anymore, but even he was great.

653
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's got great anymuror he's not doing the Raiders,

654
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: he's not doing the Raiders anymore, but he's still great.

655
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 6: He's still great.

656
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: Legendary.

657
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I mean, you you know, you knock on

658
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 8: his door and spend five ten minutes just going through

659
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 8: the depth chart and say, hey, this guy's heard or right,

660
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 8: that's me not play.

661
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, look out they might be trying hundred

662
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: percent or.

663
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 8: In practice they put this package in. You know, I

664
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 8: don't know what they're going to do out of it,

665
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 8: but you know, you don't give away secrets or anything

666
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: like that. But you know, if they have any questions

667
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 8: about pronunciations or playing time, that's that's what it's there for.

668
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 8: And you know, you just kind of catch up on

669
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 8: life and you know, talk about the stadium or talk about,

670
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 8: you know, something weird that happened in a game two

671
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 8: weeks ago.

672
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 6: That's it's like a little fraternity.

673
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: Speaking by the way of you know, pronunciations and things

674
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: like that. I'm hoping that this guy makes the roster

675
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: just because I like doing my voice, impersonating the character

676
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: that I think he is.

677
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: Are you doing Ulysses?

678
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

679
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 9: Correct, Yes, Ulyssa is parently the fours. He's got a

680
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 9: polo tea time for nine. Is he gonna make the roster?

681
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 9: Please tell me yes, He's got a chance to make

682
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 9: the practice squad.

683
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: I know. I mean he's played well, right.

684
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 8: I mean, he was a leading rusher last week in Baltimore,

685
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 8: and every time he's out here and practice at Grand Park,

686
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 8: I mean he rushes his tail off.

687
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: And now hard it is to rush in wing tip shoes.

688
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 6: You would know, very very difficult.

689
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean the three piece suit that he's got on

690
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: the whole deal, right, the ascot.

691
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 8: But I think I think Giddings and Tyler Goodson.

692
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: They've got some depth.

693
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 6: I think they've got some depth.

694
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 8: I mean, get into the draft pick and then Goodson's

695
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 8: been with this team now for four years.

696
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: And Goodson's one that I like in Tyler Goodson at

697
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: the running back position, kind of to what you were

698
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: talking about, and you correct me if I'm way off

699
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: base here.

700
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: I'll trust your opinion over the mind on this.

701
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: But he strikes me as kind of a running back

702
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: version of a Will Mallory. And by that, I mean

703
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: that Goodson is a guy that can kind of you

704
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: can put in different responsibilities if need be.

705
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: Yep, and he can fill the cup.

706
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: Maybe not give you a ten at any you know,

707
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: blocking or running or receiving, but he's a solid like six.

708
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, well he's he's a really good change of pace back.

709
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 8: He's probably the best pass catching back the Colts have.

710
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 8: You haven't really seen Getting's do enough of that at

711
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 8: this level. You know, it's kind of an incomplete there

712
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 8: not that he can't do it, but I mean that's

713
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 8: why I mean, I think I don't know if people

714
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 8: want to hear this or not, but you can let

715
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 8: fourth down, we can win your in game against the Texans.

716
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 6: That's why Goodson was in the game.

717
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 8: He's a good pass catching back, right, He's probably again

718
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 8: this is just my opinion, he's probably a better pass

719
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 8: catching back than Jonathan Taylor. Everybody's freaking out, like why

720
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 8: is Taylor not in the game that moment?

721
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 6: And I get it. I totally understand it. But for

722
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 6: that play, I.

723
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 8: Think, but the Colts had Tyler Goodson has a better option.

724
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: I guess the one thing that hurts you and I

725
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: get it. But the problem with and this isn't why

726
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: that play was not converted, but the challenge that you

727
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: get is when you put a Tyler Goodson in that situation, Matt,

728
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious to anybody that scouted them that if

729
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: he's on the field, it's for one reason and one

730
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: reason only, and therefore it's pretty east he just scot

731
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: out what they're going to.

732
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 8: Do, right, Yeah, I mean it was an RPO play

733
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 8: And we can go back and forth on this, you know,

734
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 8: Mike Chaplin and I have debated this now for two

735
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 8: straight years every time we see each other, like is

736
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 8: it a drop or a bad throw? And if you

737
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 8: go back and watch that play, Jonathan Garnard, a defensive

738
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 8: end for the Texans, gets in the passing lane of

739
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 8: Gardner Minshew and he has to throw it kind of

740
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 8: side arm right. So to me, it's it's both like,

741
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 8: could the throw have been better? Yeah, if you ask

742
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 8: Tyler Goodson, should he have caught it?

743
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

744
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 8: And he's owned it and has been incredibly professional about it.

745
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 8: It's just it sucks for him that that one play

746
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 8: is what the you know, the play that everyone's going

747
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 8: to remember as far as not making the playoffs and

748
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 8: not win the division and all that stuff because it

749
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 8: was the last play of the game. But yeah, I

750
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 8: still think he gives I mean, he's an explosive runner. Now,

751
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 8: Tyler Goodson is an explosive runner. He's probably not going

752
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 8: to see more than you know, five to seven carries

753
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 8: a game, if that, but he does give you good

754
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 8: depth behind Jonathan Taylor, who doesn't have to hopefully within

755
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 8: this all offense with a better consistent quarterback, doesn't have

756
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 8: to carry the ball twenty one times per game, which

757
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 8: he did last year and that was the highest workload

758
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 8: in the NFL.

759
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor is the voice of the Colts, joining us

760
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: here at Grant Park in Westfield Colts camp getting underway,

761
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: resuming if you will, when it comes to practice this

762
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: time with the Green Bay Packers here with them that

763
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 2: is preseason game number two as well. Center position, would

764
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: you say that that has kind of settled itself out?

765
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 8: It's trending towards Tanner Bordolini because of his you know,

766
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 8: his availability, and that's a harsh reality, but you know,

767
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 8: in this league you want to put your best five

768
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 8: guys out there going into the regular season. And Mordalini's

769
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 8: been healthier than Danny Pinter and plus you know they

770
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 8: drafted him where they did last year for a reason

771
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 8: to give him a legitimate shot at this and so

772
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 8: he's played well. And he talked the other day about

773
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 8: how there's so much more on a center's played in

774
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 8: the NFL compared to college football, not saying college football

775
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 8: is easy or simple, but up here it's just a

776
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 8: completely different animal. A lot is on your shoulders pre snap,

777
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 8: identifying things, shifting protection one way or the other. So

778
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 8: I think born Alini has a really good handle on

779
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 8: that now, certainly more so now than he did at

780
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 8: this point last year as a rookie. So yeah, it's

781
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 8: trending where I would not be shocked at all if

782
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 8: he's your starting center.

783
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: Do you think it's difficult to have Matt if you

784
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: were to have and this is not the case with

785
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: the Colts, okay, but if you were to have a

786
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 2: very clear, alpha veteran quarterback. Okay, So I mean, you know,

787
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, whatever you want to say right

788
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 2: in that situation. Do you think that is then harder

789
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: for a younger center because at the center position, you're

790
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: kind of serving as it's like catcher where you're overseeing

791
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: things in your you know, how many times you see

792
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: Jeff Saturday looking over his shoulder or whatever it may be. Yeah,

793
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: and to gain the respect and trust of that quarterback

794
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: to follow through or piggyback off of what the center

795
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: is saying. Do you think that's difficult for a young

796
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: center if they have a domineering quarterback.

797
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 6: I don't know, that's a good question. Probably.

798
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 8: I mean, there's there's there's probably a level of you know,

799
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 8: like let's say there's four weeks of training camp, there's

800
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 8: probably a week and a half of feeling out like

801
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 8: how much do I trust this guy initially.

802
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: Or vice versa. Yeah, how comfortable. Am I telling this

803
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: guy what to do?

804
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

805
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 6: Exactly. Hey here, you know, hey, Mahomes, we should break it. Seriously.

806
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 8: I've played in four Super Bowls already, you know what

807
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 8: I mean. Take it easy, pal, So I think you

808
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 8: have to. It's like you with Casey Vale, right, Oh no.

809
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 6: No, Casey, Casey runs the show.

810
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: Bro.

811
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 6: Let's let's not get it twisted.

812
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm there to just write shotguns.

813
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 6: He's the producer. But yeah, so yeah, I think it's

814
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 6: probably fair.

815
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 8: You know, there's probably some feeling out of of how

816
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 8: much does this guy really know?

817
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 6: How much do I trust him?

818
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 8: How much can I sort of take his word for

819
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 8: it if we have to change in audible the protection

820
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 8: quickly on the fly at the line of scrimmage.

821
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 6: So, but I think he's there.

822
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 8: I mean, Daniel Jones has been in the NFL now

823
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 8: for six years, right, so he's a veteran and playing.

824
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 8: He's got seventy starts under his belt, right, so he

825
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 8: doesn't have the you know, the postseason success.

826
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: But the quarterback competition between Richardson and Jones, and I

827
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: personally think that's kind of settled itself out because I

828
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: don't think Daniel Jones has done anything to snatch it away,

829
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: and in that case you go to the incumbent. But

830
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 2: we'll see on that, okay, But from what you can see, Matt,

831
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: and be honest, when you have two guys that everybody

832
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: knew from the get go are competing against one another,

833
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: but you also have one that could benefit from the

834
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: experience level of the other, how much interaction have you

835
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: seen between the two of them in terms of cohesiveness

836
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 2: or learning between the two.

837
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 6: I think a lot. I mean, I think it's inevitable.

838
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 8: You can't be out here and you can't have as

839
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 8: much time on task on the field and the meeting

840
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 8: rooms and not have that. I mean, you can you know,

841
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 8: like hypothetically, Daniel Jones could have come in here and said,

842
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 8: you know, I've started seventy games, this guy started fifteen.

843
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 8: My numbers are what they are. Numbers are what they are.

844
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 8: Why am I you brought me in here in free

845
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 8: agency for a reason? Why am I competing with this guy?

846
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: Right?

847
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 8: But I think you're seeing a great deal of growth.

848
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 8: I think you're seeing a great deal of maturity from

849
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 8: Anthony trying to learn from Daniel. You're seeing the continued

850
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 8: professionalism from Daniel helping out Anthony Richardson and being encouraging

851
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 8: of him, and you're sort of seeing it play out, Jake,

852
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 8: where I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but

853
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 8: when one guy has a really good day, the other

854
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 8: one does too, And when the other guy's a little off,

855
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 8: so is the other one, right, you know what I mean?

856
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 8: So I still think you and I have talked about

857
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 8: this a lot. The lack of availability of Anthony Richardson,

858
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 8: combined with his production or lack thereof, on the field,

859
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 8: has forced the Colt's hand into this situation.

860
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 6: And I don't think the Colts care. I really don't

861
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 6: think they care.

862
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 8: They will take Anthony Richardson reaching his potential, continuing to

863
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 8: reach that ceiling that they had for him when they

864
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 8: drafted him forth overall, or take career resurgence out of

865
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 8: Daniel Jones a La Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold in Minnesota.

866
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 8: Whichever one they get, they will take because it's more consistent.

867
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: Quarterba's what I say. They desperately need it.

868
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: In addition to that, though, Matt, the thing at this point,

869
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: if you aren't certain which of the two of them

870
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: is going to have the most consistency, then I think

871
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 2: you defer to the one that you think gives you

872
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: the bigger ceiling, and in that case, it's Richardson in

873
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: my opinion, Yeah.

874
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 8: I mean perhaps, I mean, listen, you're exactly right. Hopefully,

875
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 8: what you can do is take the two things that

876
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 8: last year or the first two years Anthony Richardson did

877
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 8: really well, and that's run the football and throw the

878
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 8: deep ball. And you couple that with his entire offseason's

879
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 8: focus of completing the layups and getting more completions in

880
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 8: the middle of the field, working in tight ends more

881
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 8: you know, completions between the numbers fifteen to twenty yards

882
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 8: down the field. If you get that, then yeah, I

883
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 8: think you really have something because if he can make

884
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 8: the play that ninety nine percent of the quarterbacks can make,

885
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 8: along with making the plays that ninety nine percent of

886
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 8: the other quarterbacks can't make, just like that peer sixty

887
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 8: five yard bomb in Week one last year, then I

888
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 8: think it really got something. But you know, we're a

889
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 8: long way from fully knowing exactly how much Anthony Richardson

890
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 8: can put it together this year and or if he'll

891
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 8: start Week one against the Dolphins.

892
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: You know, I think our best conversation in this whole

893
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: thing was when we were off the air, right.

894
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: I agree.

895
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 6: That doesn't typically how it goes.

896
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: It's like, do you want to come by later, We'll

897
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: just record that again.

898
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll talk about Yeah, we'll talk about CCR hits

899
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 8: from nineteen sixty nine in that woodstock or yeah, we

900
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 8: can talk about Spartansburg, South Carolina with Marshall Tucker.

901
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to do, brother, it's you man. Yeah.

902
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Do you know what schools in Spartanbrook,

903
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina?

904
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 6: What else is cool about that place?

905
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what school is that?

906
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 6: Oh?

907
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: College? What is that?

908
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 6: South Carolina State?

909
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: Boy? I'm not that might be in Spartanburg.

910
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 5: I know.

911
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing Darius Leonard that's in school. Right.

912
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 2: There is a okay, Division one basketball, not football, an

913
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 2: occasional NCAA tournament team.

914
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 6: See, I'm not very good at this.

915
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: They're the Terriers.

916
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not very good at this.

917
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: That'd be Wafford. Yeah.

918
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: I Spartanburg's out there, huge BMW plant there by the way,

919
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: it's Spartanburg. That's why that's why now it's harder to

920
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: get hotel rooms and Clemson just so you.

921
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: Know, oh yeah, I forgot about the as before we

922
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: let you go.

923
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor, our guest voice of the Colts, you are

924
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: looking for what in terms of this practice and in

925
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 2: preseason game number two and not including quarterback, but you're

926
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: looking for just more footing or better understanding where.

927
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 8: Well, I want to see specifically the guys that are

928
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 8: kicking ass so far in training camp. I want to

929
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 8: see him continue to kick ass against another team who.

930
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 8: I want to see Laatsu Latsu continue to kick ass

931
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 8: against another jersey. I want to see ad Ni Mitchell

932
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 8: continue to dominate somebody else and get open and you know,

933
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 8: show that flare.

934
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: In the open practice against the Ravens. Did you like

935
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 1: what he did in the game.

936
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 6: Hell, yeah, absolutely.

937
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: Because he was what he had two or three catches,

938
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: six targets.

939
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 6: Right, you know, Tyler Warren, same thing.

940
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 8: Dominate the middle of the field, Get him involved in screens,

941
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 8: get him involved in drags. You know, between the numbers,

942
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 8: he had three catches or three targets, three catches forty yards.

943
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 8: I want to see more of that. I want to

944
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 8: see Jonathan Taylor rip off a couple of big runs.

945
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 8: I want to see the stars show out. And there's

946
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 8: rumors going around that the Packers aren't going to play

947
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 8: their starters on Saturday. The Colts will for a quarter.

948
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 8: The Colts have to dominate that first quarter, and the

949
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 8: Packers they.

950
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: Have to They just got dominated by the Jets, right, I.

951
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 6: Looked it up, Jake.

952
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 8: The Packers had one hundred and eighty eight yards of offense,

953
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 8: one touchdown, and they didn't reach the red zone. Yeah,

954
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 8: against the Jets in the preseason.

955
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this or not. And

956
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: this is a new thing that they're trying to do.

957
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL is the pound gorilla, right, but

958
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 2: we know and I don't. You're not a soccer guy,

959
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 2: are you?

960
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: No?

961
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: No, nor am I? But you know, young people love

962
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 2: soccer and so the NFL. It's not the NFL's job

963
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: to chase what other people are doing. But they're always innovative.

964
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: And my understanding is that they say, now, if you

965
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: lose twice to the Packers, you get relegated. Did you

966
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: know to the Jets you get relegated. So the Packers

967
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 2: might get relegated just to keep up with they.

968
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 6: Got to go down to trip A or the XFL or.

969
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: What is it the UFL this week?

970
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: What?

971
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: What? Like?

972
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 6: I don't know.

973
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: I've tried everything.

974
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 6: I don't watch football in the spring.

975
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I was.

976
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: I was a Florida Tuskers fan or Taskers or something

977
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 2: for like a week and then it went away.

978
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: You would know better than I.

979
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 2: The there was the American Football League for a while.

980
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: I'm a Birmingham I was a Birmingham Stallions fan in

981
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: their CFL. And they're going to see it now CFL

982
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 2: Hamilton Tigers, I'm all in.

983
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. We went IndyCar a couple of years ago.

984
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 2: We went to the Toronto Race and we decided to

985
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: go to a to a CFL game and we went

986
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: to the Hambleton Tiger. And so I was going to

987
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: go and be contrariant and root for the Calgary Stampeders.

988
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, buy a hat, just really like be a like

989
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 8: a lane in Sichl the Oriels.

990
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.

991
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: So we went there and there was one other kid

992
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: that was there as a heel, and to use your term,

993
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: I got his ass kicked and so I said, I, okay,

994
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 2: that's fine, and so I'm officied.

995
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: Sorry.

996
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to bring us too much color I.

997
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 2: Found out the Hamlet and Tiger Cats. They're the goons.

998
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 2: They're like the that's the Goose. It's like Liverpool. So

999
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 2: I'm all right. I got a hat and everything. Now

1000
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,800

1017

00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: He is Matt.

1019
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 2: You are the director of Facilities and Events, and that

1020
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: means that you are quite the busy guy, because it

1021
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: goes without saying that this is a big event for Westfield,

1022
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 2: always has been. But they live golf also at Chatham Hills,

1023
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: which is just about a mile and a half directly

1024
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: north kind of due northeast of here, if I'm not mistaken.

1025
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 2: But man, it's pretty exciting time in Westfield, Indiana.

1026
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 10: Jake, it may be the most exciting weekend we've had

1027
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 10: in Westfield in years. And yeah, to conclude colts camp

1028
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 10: with thirteen practices that didn't include any rain, we're very

1029
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 10: grateful for that.

1030
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: And Matt, Matt, No, we're good, Jake, We're good. No, Jake,

1031
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: it's two thirty six.

1032
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 10: We only have about two hours and twenty four minutes

1033
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 10: and the skies are completely blue. And then so we

1034
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 10: end to practice at five pm tonight with the packers

1035
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 10: and then we start right into the live golf tournament

1036
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 10: tomorrow with a twelve oh five shotgun tea time gates

1037
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 10: opening at ten, with the shuttle service starting thirty minutes

1038
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 10: before that.

1039
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's begin with this.

1040
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: Since you are the director of Facilities and Events, so

1041
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: the event itself, and I know that this is a

1042
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 2: big deal with the Colts, but you know, everybody now

1043
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 2: is kind of up to speed on how things work

1044
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: here because this is a you know, a seamless event.

1045
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: Now people are accustomed to it here. Live Golf is

1046
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: new in Westfield. Here at Chatham Hills. This is a

1047
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 2: big deal because they're going to be crowding their season

1048
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: champion for Live. And certainly I know, and I'll say it,

1049
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 2: I mean Live is one that when it was first

1050
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 2: announced as a league and the players that were joining

1051
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: it, it was a very polarizing thing within the sports landscape,

1052
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: but it's still is one that is a major sports league.

1053
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: It ended up in Westfield. How how did this all

1054
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: come together?

1055
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 10: I want to say Jake was May of twenty twenty

1056
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 10: four that Live connected with the leadership at Chatham Hills

1057
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 10: and then they in turn connected with the Mayor's office

1058
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 10: and Hamilton Tourism and discussions to start started at that

1059
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 10: point probably took two three months of back and forth

1060
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 10: where we were able to put together an opportunity for

1061
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 10: them to select Westfield as their concluding stop for their

1062
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 10: individual championship. And I got to tell you the live

1063
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 10: folks and the folks that help them put on this

1064
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 10: tournament have been completely blown away by the amount of

1065
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 10: effort and energy that has been put forth by not

1066
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 10: only the City of Westfield, but the folks here in

1067
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 10: Hamilton County. We absolutely as you can see with the

1068
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 10: success that we've had every year with Colts Camp, we're

1069
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 10: putting that same energy into this tournament and they're already

1070
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 10: blown away.

1071
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 6: So we expect nothing but success this weekend.

1072
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: Forty thousand will be here for that. Right In terms

1073
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: of the live golf, that's what we're expecting.

1074
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 10: We are literally expecting a record setting number for any

1075
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 10: live weekend and we are absolutely prepared.

1076
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 2: For Okay, so let's talk about that for those that

1077
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 2: are coming up for this you mentioned earlier.

1078
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: Parking.

1079
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because whenever you have a golf

1080
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: event that's taking place at a private club like that,

1081
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: it's not like going to a Colts game where you

1082
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: just pull into the you know lot E or you know,

1083
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: Huckleberry Hound lot F and walk in. Yeah, so you

1084
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 2: are facilitating or putting this together in terms of the

1085
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 2: accommodation in what way.

1086
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 10: So Parking, we have a giant open lot right across

1087
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 10: the street from the Grand Park Events Center on the

1088
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 10: north side of one hundred and ninety first Street. So

1089
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 10: we feel with that being the primary option and the

1090
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 10: only option and it just being absolutely wide open, the

1091
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 10: par five group that helps Live organize this event brings

1092
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 10: in another group to handle the parking services, so folks

1093
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 10: will be taken care of. We're going to get them

1094
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 10: in and get them out efficiently, and then as I mentioned,

1095
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 10: there is a shuttle to get them all the way

1096
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,479
Speaker 10: up to Chatham Hills Country Club.

1097
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: So anyway to know.

1098
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 2: Matt Deck is our guest, by the way, director of

1099
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: Facilities and Events for Westfield, Indiana, which is hosting not

1100
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: only this practice between the Packers and the Colts, but

1101
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 2: also the Live Golf Championships at Chatham Hills that takes

1102
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: place this weekend. Anyway to know or target or ballpark

1103
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: the economic impact, Jake, I.

1104
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 10: Knew you're gonna ask me that, and well, you were

1105
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 10: gonna ask me that, and I was gonna that's a

1106
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 10: great question.

1107
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: I guess a better question would be this, because I

1108
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: realized those numbers are probably hard to know at this point, right.

1109
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: Jake, I believe I've heard the number thirty five million.

1110
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 2: Okay, now do we know just in terms of maybe

1111
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: lodging gives you a better idea of this, the number

1112
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 2: of people between both of these that are coming from

1113
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: outside of market to be able to come, and thus

1114
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 2: you have to then get hotels, restaurants, et cetera.

1115
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 10: Something that we're real excited to review with our partners

1116
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 10: at Hamilton County next week after we have all the

1117
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 10: official data. But we feel that from our own estimations

1118
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 10: that we're looking again between thirty and forty million dollars

1119
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 10: of economic impact between tonight and the end of the

1120
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 10: tournament on Sunday.

1121
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: You know, Grant Park in general, Matt Is You know

1122
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: this is obviously I think initially was kind of the

1123
00:50:55,200 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 2: staple of Westfield, but now Westfield continues to grow and

1124
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 2: provide even more than just Grand Park itself. But what

1125
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 2: has this particular facility meant, not just and I mean

1126
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: totally separate from the Colts itself in terms of people

1127
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: that are coming in and what's the long term viability

1128
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 2: of Grand Park?

1129
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 10: Love that question that is absolutely right up my alley

1130
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 10: and my passion. So back in I want to say

1131
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 10: twenty twelve when Mayor Cook and his team were first

1132
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 10: presented the idea of Grand Park. He mentioned to a

1133
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 10: group of folks that he felt that if we built

1134
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 10: this park, we could bring in anywhere from two hundred

1135
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 10: to three hundred thousand people a year. Last year twenty

1136
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 10: twenty four, Grand Park saw five point five million visitors. Believable,

1137
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 10: So it absolutely blew away even the early expectations of

1138
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 10: the folks that were planning this facility.

1139
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: This facility was built.

1140
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 10: To be an economic driver for the city via sports tourism.

1141
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 10: That's absolutely what it has done. And as Mayor Willis

1142
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 10: has taken office, that has been a priority of his.

1143
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 10: He has focused on economic development, taking advantage of the

1144
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 10: park and taking what Mayor Cook's team had initiated in

1145
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 10: leasing the park to a private operator, taking that idea

1146
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 10: to the next level in allowing that private operator to

1147
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 10: outdo the competition that Grand Park itself has created. And

1148
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 10: a big unique element to what we will be doing

1149
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 10: here in Grand Park is the Grand Park District, which

1150
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 10: is right in the middle, right in the heart of

1151
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 10: Grand Park. We're going to be bringing in businesses, restaurants, entertainments.

1152
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 10: We're going to create an atmosphere so that when folks

1153
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 10: come here, they don't want to leave. They want to

1154
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 10: stay here and enjoy themselves.

1155
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 2: Have you found that this is the blueprint for other

1156
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: Midwestern facilities like it? Or is it one that actually

1157
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 2: goes on the blueprint of what you have seen elsewhere?

1158
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 10: I feel like it's created a blueprint that many have

1159
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,479
Speaker 10: attempted to accomplish. It's really hard to acquire four hundred acres.

1160
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 10: I was going to ask what the acre jees, it's

1161
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 10: four hundred acres. We have thirty four multi purpose fields,

1162
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 10: we have twenty six baseball and softball diamonds, and again

1163
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 10: we are looking to do more with it. But again,

1164
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 10: like I said, the idea in Grand Park created other

1165
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 10: communities to try to do the same thing, So we

1166
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 10: had to stay ahead of that and that's one of

1167
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 10: the reasons why we're now leasing it to a private entity.

1168
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: How many of the acres of the Old Thunder Island?

1169
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 10: How many talking about Old Thunder Island because that's it

1170
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 10: was three js and then it was the island.

1171
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is the that would technically be the

1172
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: south east corner of Grand Park.

1173
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: Is that correct? It is not on the campus property,

1174
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: but does it border up against it? I guess it's

1175
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: I think it's further north. Okay, I'm not. While I

1176
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: was geography experts like it's thirty I went.

1177
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 2: School for through one day a couple of years ago

1178
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: and managed to find the old water the remnants of

1179
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 2: the old water slides.

1180
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I wanted to try to take them home.

1181
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 10: And was it you or someone else mentioned there was

1182
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 10: a movie shot there in the early nineth Janet Doherty

1183
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 10: was in the movie Yes, You're the one that told

1184
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 10: me that it is.

1185
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 2: Correct, And Janna Doherty was in the World's Worst B

1186
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 2: movie that took place she and her friend. She and

1187
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: her friends were right their high school newspaper undercover some

1188
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 2: nefarious political things. And the best part about it is

1189
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 2: so they had this crooked politician that was chasing them

1190
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 2: down because they were high school kids, blown the whistle

1191
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: and chases them up to the top of a water slide,

1192
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: and there was only one way Matt to get away,

1193
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: and that would be.

1194
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: Down down the water. That's right, Yeah, of course it

1195
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: was awesome.

1196
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 10: I tried so hard to find footage of that after

1197
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 10: you mentioned it. I think there was maybe one clip

1198
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 10: of it.

1199
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: It's incredible. I mean, it is literally the most cringe worthy.

1200
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it's awesome. Yeah, sure again. Matt Deck is the

1201
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 2: director of Facilities and Events here in Westfield, Indiana. Live

1205
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: what I do here in terms of Westfield, what's on deck?

1206
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,879
Speaker 2: Moving moving forward to things that you're hoping to bring here.

1207
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 10: You know, we're really focusing on the economic development around

1208
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 10: here and utilizing Grand Park as the tool to grow that.

1209
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 10: And I'm sure you you saw that Ed Carpenter Racing

1210
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 10: is kind of the foundational element of our Grand Park district.

1211
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 10: That business joining and I know being enticing to so

1212
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 10: many other businesses that will come to the district. We

1213
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 10: are also looking at opportunities to help enhance Grand Park

1214
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 10: twelve months out of the year and not just perhaps nine,

1215
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 10: So we are looking at everything to keep this park

1216
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 10: busy all the time.

1217
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm telling you if with ECR Ed Carpenter Racing here

1218
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 2: as well, you got to get make sure that they're

1219
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 2: bringing you plenty of Java House because that's oh yes.

1220
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: Of course Java House is awesome. Absolutely.

1221
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't even like coffee, and now I'm hooked on

1222
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 2: the Java House Columbia coffee, the peel and poor I

1223
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: just poort right in and it's like it doesn't taste

1224
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 2: like coffee to me, and now I'm addicted to it.

1225
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: I haven't slept in three weeks. What a great plus

1226
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: that's new is I love to learn that that's a

1227
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: new thing. I also have energy drinks and hydration of course.
