1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: All right, we are back. It is Colt's Corner with myself,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Bowen and Eddie Garrison as the Colts are on

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: their bye week, so we'll still with this pod this week.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Next week we'll probably go with you Wednesday afternoon. That way,

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: at least get an injury report on Colts Chiefs as

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: one of the more anticipated games certainly of the regular

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: season is here. Eddie Garrison, good morning to you.

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: Good morning, congratulations, welcome Nelly Bowen to the world. Thank you,

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: congratulations to you. And nice job by Maddie Bowen by

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: powering through it all.

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Boy, that is an understatement to say that, so yeah,

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: very thank you just for that, Eddie, and all of

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: our nurses doctors just rather wild frankly watching how seamless

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: they can make it work or look, I should say,

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: and Maddie an absolute rock star there. So yes, little

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Nelly into the world on Friday. Appreciate everybody has reached

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: out with some nice messages. And I never thought I'd

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: be watching morning international coffee football holding my daughter from

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the huh spittal, but nonetheless that's where I was Sunday morning.

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: Nelly, a much better welcome to Notre Dame football than

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: Max Spillin.

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: Right when Navy scored to tie the game at seven,

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, oh is this happening again. But

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: then when Notre Dame rattled off whatever it was forty

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: two or something in around after that or forty two

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: to three the rest of the way, I was very

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: very happy. I did the push ups with her in

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: the room, Eddie, you know, kind of held her.

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Up to the uh huh I saw. I saw the

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: video from Maddi.

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: It's sold nervous if Maddy thought that would be a

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: good thing or not, but she actually laughed at that,

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: So I was very grateful for her support. With the Irish. Yeah,

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about wild football, I mean literally

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: in that hotel. But by the way, having a fall

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: baby very underrated. This is my first fall baby. I

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: was reminded, well, at some point you're gonna have birthday

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: parties or around that, so it might not be great.

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: But from waking up at the start of the final

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: Indiana drive, literally woke up at the start of that

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: drive from a little nap, and then to watch Notre

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Dame of course, and then to watch Colts Falcons and

43
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor doing Jonathan Taylor things that was I was

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: quite the So today's pot, Eddie, I do want to

45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: look a little bit back on that Falcons game and

46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: just kind of go over a few items. We don't

47
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: have to get into the full what I liked, what

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I didn't like, a little bit of diforce Buckner news

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: is that item broke after our pod last week, and

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: then a lot of Twitter questions, a lot of kind

51
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: of big picture bye week stuff what you would typically

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: find there. So we'll do that.

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: Let's dive into that win for the Colts on the

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: road in Berlin right before the bye week. Kevin, we've

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: had some time, mainly you have had some time to

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: kind of stew on it and kind of formulate your thoughts.

57
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: So overall, what do you think of the Colts being

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: able to a you know, Jonathan Taylor to will them

59
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: to victory, especially late in regulation and a couple of

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: nice throws from Daniel Jones there in overtime as well,

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: and Taylor able to finish off the Falcons.

62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Boy, what a Heisman moment, if you will, What an

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: MVP moment from Taylor And you know, again it's some

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: combination of his patience, his ability to rev it up

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: zero to sixty quickly in the open field. And you

66
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: know what, Eddie, that the run itself there in regulation,

67
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think kind of largely speaks for itself.

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: But like his ability to make Billy Bowman miss in

69
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: the backfield in overtime and then do it to Jesse

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: Bates in the game winner. Like how many times you

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: see running back successfully do that? Let alone at two

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: hundred and whatever, he is twenty some pounds. And I

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: go back to that Denver play earlier this season. You know,

74
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: in the backfield, look like a tackle for loss. He

75
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: rips it off down that right sideline for sixty years.

76
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: So and think about all these plays he's had this

77
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: season now, obviously the play in Berlin, the Denver run.

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I thought one of his best runs of the year

79
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: was the Ady Mitchell holding penalty against the Rams. I mean,

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: that was an incredible run.

81
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: Here.

82
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: So's that bird poop on my hat? I don't know,

83
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm so nervous. Let me see just poop everywhere these days?

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: Let me see it.

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's toothpaste now that I think about it.

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: Are we sure that's toothpaste? Kevin?

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there's tasted a minty flavor.

88
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: There, Okay, I'm glad it was meant not salty. Yeah.

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Cool, there, man, you got some issues here on this

90
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Thursday morning.

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: I do you have issues? You know?

92
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: That play from Taylor, it's just those players I think

93
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: in overtime, honestly, might even be just more into the

94
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: individually impressive. It almost was like on the eighty yard

95
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: or obviously he reps it up, but you know there's

96
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: a lot of give up there from the Atlanta Falcons

97
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: on that play, but you know it was needed. And

98
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, I always feel this way about these sorts

99
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: of wins. Eddie, like you can look at him in

100
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: two lights, two lights, and maybe some people look at

101
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the Indiana win over Penn State in a similar light,

102
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: like do you look at it from a a wins

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: a win championship resolve? Everyone has these games? Or is

104
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: it m even in a when you can't ignore the questions?

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, like Indiana is a big favorite over Penn State.

106
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: You know in NFL terms, the Culture are a big

107
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: favorite over the Atlanta Falcons, and you know you need

108
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you literally have what probably three plays where the game

109
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: could have ended, like the fourth and two the misfield.

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, if miss deftfield, I thought one of the

111
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: bigger Daniel Jones plays, and you obviously mentioned the two

112
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: throws was a scramble on third and twenty one. I

113
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: thought at third and twenty one time, my thought was

114
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: you take two shots to out Pierce just period. Yeah, Like,

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: when's the last time Pierce has been thrown an on

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: target deep ball and he hasn't come down with it?

117
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: That's true, He comes down with all of them, and

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, he gets a flag. Yeah, Like, it's

119
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: amazing how great of a weapon he is now Again,

120
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: the key is obviously on target there. That was certainly

121
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: a big play early on, you know, Warren, you know,

122
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: having the you know, I was curious if they would

123
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: have called that a fumble on the field, would they've

124
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: overturned that to start the drive? But the fourth and

125
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: two just a big play and then obviously the little

126
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Saale corner rout everyone to describe it there and overtime

127
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: was huge. So that was a pretty throw too. Yeah,

128
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: that was one of the best throws we've seen. Those

129
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: returns by a Mirra Abdullah were huge and even dueling there.

130
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: They say and have special teams was much different. Special

131
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: teams a roller coaster. Yeah, you know, that was an

132
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: absolute roller coaster. So, you know, a couple other items. Defensively,

133
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if fine. Like I thought, for the

134
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: most part, the defense did a nice job. But then

135
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's like, well, you

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: gave up the second most points the Falcons have scored

137
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: all year. I mean, Alanta has been bad offensively many Yeah,

138
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: ten or less than four of their eight games had

139
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: been Sunday, Like, you know, for that much star power,

140
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: you know, I thought you caused some Pinnix issues.

141
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: But he also I thought just missed some wide open dudes. Yep,

142
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: NFL open dudes as well. You know, Gardener, I thought,

143
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: for the most part was was pretty good considering all

144
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: the expectations. Obviously, the two point conversion, you know, is

145
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: a play he'd liked to have back of the said

146
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: he slipped on that play.

147
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: I bet you we'd like to have the Drake London

148
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: touchdown back as well.

149
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one with Jermaine Pratt. Yeah, yeah, that was

150
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of a it seemed like kind of the issues

151
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: of the mix ups with Gardner were mainly zone related. Yeah,

152
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, just a little bit of unsure yeah, because

153
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner.

154
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: Did a good job on the telecast highlighting and he goes,

155
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: you know, Sauce Gardner has you know, on on the

156
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: screen the right side of the field. For him, it's

157
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: the left side of the field. So and he just

158
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: got distracted by the eyes of Pennix looking at Kyle Pitts.

159
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: So he took Kyle Pitts and it left that back

160
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: right zone wide open for Drake London and the only

161
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: person there to take him was Jermaine Pratt.

162
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: So I think you saw. And we'll get into the

163
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: deforce Buckner situation here in just a second. But like

164
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: the cam buying them play, to me is a little

165
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner presence. You're taking your deep field free safety

166
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: and you're blissing them off the edge. And again, I

167
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: think there was some comfortability and trust, and that's pre

168
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, Mooney Ward, I'm worried about Michael Badgley. I

169
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: think I've been worried about it pretty much the whole time.

170
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, when you miss another extra point, two extra

171
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: points missed in five games. I had to go back

172
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, the last time the Colts missed two

173
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: extra points, you know, Matt Gave didn't miss a single one.

174
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Last year he missed one, and twenty three, twenty twenty two,

175
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: the Colts miss an extra point. So it's kind of

176
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: crazy how rare it is. And I think I told

177
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: you this, and I'll not forget watching Badgeley's first practice

178
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: out there, and it was a pretty nice day out

179
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: there at fifty sixth Street. And when he came up

180
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: short on at least one, if not two field goals

181
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: a practice, I thought it myself, Man, you don't see

182
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: NFL kickers coming.

183
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Up short, especially at fifty three.

184
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Right, And like, think about the fourth and two, Eddie.

185
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Those are almost missed automatic.

186
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: Now, the fourth and two would have been a fifty

187
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: eight yarder, I believe.

188
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: Are you talking about like in the opening drive.

189
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: No, the fourth and two to Tyler Warren there, okay,

190
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: lighton regulation, that would have been a fifty eight yarder.

191
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, how many NFL teams would have just attempted

192
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: the field goal?

193
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: Then that would have been a forty five yard on

194
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: the first drive when they turned it over down.

195
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, which again I'm not you know, knowing psyching, I'm

196
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: not too shocked by that. But but the final drive,

197
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, instead of attempting the forty four yarder, Yeah,

198
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: it would have been fifty eight there. I mean, I

199
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe eighty percent of NFL team is probably

200
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: attempt the field goal. Then, yeah, you don't get a

201
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: lot of them actually attempting the field goal or you know,

202
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: trying to go for it and get further yards. And

203
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: a sneaky little play was pitting then right before the

204
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: field goal. You know, you got what ten or twelve

205
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: there right before the forty four yard er, and that

206
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: was obviously a huge, huge play as well. So you know,

207
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: those were I think in general just kind of my

208
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: thoughts on the game. I guess we got to talk

209
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: a little Daniel Jones again. I thought the third and

210
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: twenty one scramble was just huge, and I do think

211
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: it's the most leg element game we've seen from Jones.

212
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: And I do think that's an area that you can

213
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: continue to tap into because you have to pick your

214
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: poison with his offense, and you know, if you're gonna

215
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: bring some pressure and play man, you know, Jones certainly

216
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: has that ability to do that. I mean, it is

217
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of wild of like, you know, how do you

218
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: view Jones exiting the bye week yep, is this regression

219
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: to the mean, you know, the whole baseball card analogy, Eddie.

220
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: He really defied the back of his own baseball card

221
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: through the first eight games. Is that him? Is this

222
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: the new Daniel Jones and like it was just a

223
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: hiccup or two these last two weeks or is he

224
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: getting back to the baseball card now again? I do

225
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: think I know I've joked about this. I have half joked,

226
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: half serious. We're almost in the air of Chris Ballard.

227
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Where we go, you know, pre CB and ACB, you know,

228
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: the old pre Chris Ballard and now the after Chris

229
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: Ballard has decided to you know, do things differently in

230
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: his operating you know, is that there for Daniel Jones

231
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: and a Shane Staken offense. Is that they're you know,

232
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: for him in a Colts uniform period there? So you know,

233
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: I know I've said this before, but the whole Peyton

234
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Manning adage of you know a huge part of being

235
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback is don't make.

236
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: A bad play worse.

237
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: And right now when the bad plays have shown up,

238
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: he's starting to make them worse. Whether it's not finding

239
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: it the checkdowns, whether it's just holding onto the football period.

240
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, I thought that I thought the fumble on

241
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: that third quarter screen was just that was egregious, you know,

242
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: when you're in field goal rings there, so you know,

243
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: he missed downs wide open late when they had to

244
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: settle for a field goal. He looked like he was

245
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: starting to scramble and then he got sacked there, so.

246
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: Just didn't have his eyes, you know, in the right pace.

247
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: And again, I think it's a mix of things right now.

248
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: It's you know, are some of the drops just two

249
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: big you know, and I'm talking about his own footwork drops,

250
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, seven step drops. I go back to the

251
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: interception in Pittsburgh. You know it's a first down shot

252
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: to Pierce. Is that drop a little bit too greedy

253
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: knowing that t J. Watt's going to be one on one?

254
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Or is it a hey, you got to know that

255
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: wats one on one. Your eyes have got to get

256
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: off Pierce a little bit earlier and get to Warren.

257
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: Is the check down on that? You know, it's kind

258
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: of wild if you look at his turnover numbers, Eddie,

259
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: because you know you got fumble luck in that game. Again,

260
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: I think you were plus three and the fumble luck

261
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: against Falcons. Yeah, if you look at his sheer fumble

262
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: and interceptions, I want to say Tua is the only

263
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league that has more right now, mm hmm.

264
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: That's kind of wild to me. Like if you walked

265
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: up to the random person right now, they'd say, Daniel

266
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Jones is playing pretty good football. Yeah, and yet his

267
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: interceptions and fumbles are the second most of anybody in

268
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, which is again, it's crazy. Now. I

269
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: think part of it is his other stuff has been

270
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: so good that it's kind of overshadowed. And again, a

271
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: lot of this is kind of a two week whatever,

272
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: bad bad two weeks. I guess it's the simplest way

273
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: to put it here. So you know, his own play,

274
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: it's probably a good, healthy bye week for him, of

275
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: just maybe not as much as in his head, but

276
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, as much as bad as he had on

277
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: Saturday or on Sunday. You know, when you needed him,

278
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: you didn't put a ton on his plate, but he

279
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: delivered with the big scramble. I thought the ball placement

280
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: on the fourth and two is pretty impressive as well.

281
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, if that ball's place anywhere else, I don't

282
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: know if Warren catches it or necessarily gets the first

283
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: down there, So obviously that would be a big story line.

284
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Is more of these environments and more of these defenses,

285
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, Spagnola, I think Houston's front is really really good.

286
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: You know, Seattle Jacksonville least has a couple of names

287
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: on their front. I know they aren't a great pressure

288
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: team or a great sack team, but those are just

289
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: some some things to watch.

290
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: What'd you think overall the run defense without DeForest Buckner

291
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: to kind of bridge but we'll talk about after this.

292
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: They allow you know, what was it to Beijeon and

293
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: Algier one hundred and you know forty I think between

294
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: the two backs on twenty eight carries, so both those

295
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: touchdowns going to Tyler Algier and had me frustrated as

296
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: a Beejeon Robinson fantasy football owner.

297
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: It is amazing Like watching that game, like I didn't

298
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: right off that game, it's kind of casually watched and

299
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: then went back and watching it for a second time.

300
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: It did strike me. I'm like, man, I feel like

301
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: Bijon does not get a lot of goal line carries.

302
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if you had them on a fantasy

303
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: football team, you would certainly.

304
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Five yards of carry combined between the two backs.

305
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. You know,

306
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: I think the de tackle depth is proved, but still,

307
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, the commitment, and I guess we should transition

308
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: into Buckner here, Eddie. Like I was talking to a

309
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: defensive coach the Culture playing a few weeks back, and

310
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, what are your thoughts on the

311
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: Colts and basically just summarized it said simply, ninety nine makes.

312
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: It all work. Yep.

313
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: And it's simple statement, but it's I think quite the

314
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: amount of accurate praise for what DeForest Buckner does. And like,

315
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't call the pass rush a strength

316
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: by any means, Let's call it a weakness. He is

317
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: your engine that keeps the pass rush a notch above

318
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: being on fumes in my opinion, because commands so many

319
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: double teams that without him, now where do those doubles go?

320
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Do they exist? You know, do you feel a little

321
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: bit more cognizant about, Hey, we don't need necessarily have

322
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: a center and a guard there? So now, Isaia Franklin

323
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: grant it didn't work on Sunday, But the Sire Franklin

324
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: blitzing up the middle. Maybe it's not as dynamic necessarily

325
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: as it was on that play there. So you know,

326
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: he's always been high on the most indispensable list. I

327
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, I went back and watched the Pittsburgh game.

328
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, he goes in the blue tent Eddie late

329
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: in the first half. He was in there for a

330
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: few plays. He definitely was in some serious pain on

331
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the sideline, but then he came back in finished the

332
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: first half and I think played about a normal amount

333
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: of snaps in the second half.

334
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, no, not Grover. Yeah.

335
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said to you on well yeah,

336
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: when he went in there with the with a concussion,

337
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: I think I said you on Wednesday's pod. Like with

338
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Buckner and injuries, we often chalk it up with like, oh,

339
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: it's Buckner, He's fine. Yeah, But if there are injuries

340
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,479
Speaker 1: that worry me. When I see neck and I see bicep,

341
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm always like, I feel like it never or like peck, Yeah,

342
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: I feel like you never just have a peck injury

343
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: for a week. No, you you tear the thing, yeah,

344
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: or like achilles, you know, I mean those are some

345
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: of these injuries when I see it, like three hundred

346
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: pounds dudes with a neck injury that really worries me.

347
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: And like Buckner, what was that two years ago when

348
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: he was playing through the elbow?

349
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tommy John, Yeah, is what he would

350
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: have needed there for that, So I know, you know,

351
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: stich In is obviously I mean, hell, you could call

352
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: it line, you call it gamesman ship, pick whatever you want.

353
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: Clearly he likes to be very coy with the injuries

354
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: that don't occur during games so he doesn't have to

355
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: address them necessarily. So I think got played into it.

356
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's gonna be at least yeah,

357
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: right there, four games. Sorry I choked up there. It's

358
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna be at least four games, and you know, I

359
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: think it definitely could be longer than that. So obviously

360
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: that'll be a huge storyline. You're curious to like, how

361
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: much do they know the severity of the Buckner injury

362
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: before the Gardener trade? You know, how much of any

363
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: that play into it. But you know, out of time,

364
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,479
Speaker 1: a lot out of Barre has really stepped up. Neville Gallimore,

365
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: I think it earlier in the season, had a few

366
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: more moments, but you know, particularly on the rundowns. As

367
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you're going to I think miss him. And

368
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: then obviously it's just unique to have a defensive tackle

369
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: that can play on pass downs as much as he

370
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: can and really command double teams. You know, Chris Jones

371
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: is obviously one of them. You're gonna see a week

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: from Sunday here. And you know, it seems like the

373
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Colts have had a lot of interior offensive line opposing

374
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: injuries this season. Atlanta is one of those teams, and

375
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: you'd love to have Buckner kind of feasting feasting upon that.

376
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: So you know, when you get into playoff football and

377
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: you get in these one possession games, Eddie Buckner making

378
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: one third down play can be the difference. M hm.

379
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: So I do think it's a very notable loss for

380
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: however long it is.

381
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: I thought JC Touey Molilau had a solid game against

382
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: Atlanta too. I felt like I noticed him a little

383
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 2: bit getting getting towards Michael He had.

384
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: A few more Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's worth

385
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: pointing out there. But again, you know, you look at

386
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: your d line production in that game too. You just

387
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: want more. You want more from that whole group. You know,

388
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: if you look at the line of scrimmage sort of production.

389
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: It typically is other guys making those sorts of plays,

390
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: So obviously continues to be a question that I have.

391
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't believe we failed to mention this either, Kevin.

392
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: Before we get to Twitter questions, shout out to Zio Franklin.

393
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: We were talking about him a couple of weeks ago.

394
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: I think on the pod and you know, wondering if

395
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: you know he's starting, if there was like a decline there,

396
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 2: or if it was the system or whatever. Ten tackles,

397
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: a sacked two TFLs, and of course he had the

398
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of big plays there in overtime

399
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: for the Colts.

400
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are huge plays in overtime. I thought it

401
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: was kind of a very soft penalty on Makai Blackman there,

402
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: and I thought to himself, oh boy, is this going

403
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: to start something, because you know, Pennis led a pretty

404
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: seamless drive there to end regulation to tie the game

405
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: up there. Do you think Atlanta should have taken the

406
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: time out, by the way, or should they have rushed

407
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: badly out there?

408
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: I am in the camp of taking the time out

409
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: because then it gives you a chance on the other

410
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: side if he misses that kick, you've got some time

411
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: left to maybe get you know, a chunk play down

412
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: the field to set yourself up, you know, for a

413
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: field goal potentially. Yeah, I think I largely guess they

414
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't have need the field goal, right.

415
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it would have been tai game. Yeah, field

416
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: gold would have been for the win.

417
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: My mom, it's like four days Agoers gave up one

418
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty two points the other night, So my

419
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: mind is all over the place. I forgot win exactly

420
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: that happened in the game.

421
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's like twenty some seconds, twenty five seconds

422
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: when Rahie Moore sticks his time out. You know, I

423
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: can kind of hear both sides of Hmore has been

424
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: asked about that afterwards by the Atlanta media, you know,

425
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: badly having missed a couple of kicks already, you know,

426
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: could that have played into it? So it's just kind

427
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: of the interesting debate you get into those indie game situations.

428
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: I thought the clock management by both teams were a

429
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: little odd there in the first half.

430
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Atlanta not calling the time out when they

431
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: should have. At the end of the first half, I

432
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: was like, win in the world.

433
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: I about both sides. That's a misses there, so well's

434
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: you got anything else we'll top into. I think a

435
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: good amount of Twitter questions.

436
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've got a ton of them. When we

437
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: will start with Connor. Connor was wondering Kevin what Carly

438
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: ors Gordon's interactions are like with the media, as she

439
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: seems like someone naturally suited given she seems like true

440
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: fan and has a lot of exposure to the game. However,

441
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: I've only seen very reserved and rarely exposed to the media.

442
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: What kind of relationship does you have with the media

443
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: and do you see that relationship changing in the future.

444
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 2: Highly recommend by the way. Reading Stephen Holder's piece on

445
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: Carli erc Gordon on ESPN dot com as well.

446
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was well done. Yeah, and I

447
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: think Joel if like I mentioned Joel Erickson as well,

448
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: he's had some features on all three of the Daughters

449
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: for the Star. I thought those are well done as well.

450
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: You know the little I don't want to act like

451
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: I know carl is super super well, but you know,

452
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: my interactions over the years with her, I've always thought

453
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: very curious, smart, I would say curious slash inquisitive, you know,

454
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: I I think, you know, just kind of a sponge,

455
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: which you know, I think when you get to people

456
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: with a the last name she has, or people the

457
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: positions in authority, I think it's really important to have

458
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: those sorts of qualities, particularly when you know, yes, she

459
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: was born in the business, but the daily grind of

460
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: running an NFL team is a lot different. And I

461
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: think you've got to be someone that you know is

462
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: willing to wear a lot of hats of just opening

463
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: your ears, and I think she's she clearly is a

464
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: fan of doing that. I mean, maybe a little bit

465
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: more reserved, certainly than her father, But I also think

466
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of fire in there that maybe

467
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: she won't necessarily as outwardly as her dad will, but

468
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: you know that it's in there. You know, as far

469
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: as media is concerned, what we've talked to her once

470
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: in a group setting, mm hmm, and that was, you know,

471
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: right after her dad's passing. There so nothing at training

472
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: camp like her dad typically would do. We'll see what

473
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: the off season looks like. You know, for the most part,

474
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: an owner primarily speaks.

475
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: Then.

476
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: I thought Ballard might have talked after the Gardener trade.

477
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: I thought you know the Jets GM talked out was

478
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: kind of hoping he would, but he did not there.

479
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a little bit of Harley background if

480
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: you will.

481
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: You know, of course, there was the the videos circulating

482
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: of her buying around for everybody.

483
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: I saw that, Yeah in Berlin. Very smartly done there.

484
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

485
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: By the way, that atmosphere seemed great on TV and everything.

486
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: I think I've told you Eddie, I'm I'm a fan

487
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: of the international games. I know a lot of people aren't.

488
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: And I get the Colts had to give up a

489
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: home game, but I like the thought of you give

490
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: up one home game every four years, you play an

491
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: international game every other year, and you give up a

492
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: home game once every four yeah, and you rotate it around.

493
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: So I think that would give you know, eight and

494
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: international games of the various sites. And I know we've got,

495
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: you know, in my interaction a just with international fans.

496
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: And again this comes from my experience at Wimbley now

497
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: nine years ago. I think it's such a cool atmosphere

498
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: and it's fun occasionally. I'm not saying you do it

499
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: weekly or you know, twice a month to go over

500
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: there and experience that. I think it's school for your

501
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: fan base, and the international market is real, and they're

502
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: passionate and they want to learn. The game is starting

503
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: to become a little bit more global. It's nothing like

504
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: the NBA, of course, but I'm totally good at it.

505
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: And I thought it brought some life, frankly, to an

506
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: NFL season that you know, not at times, but you

507
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: know occasionally you can get a tad redundant. I really

508
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: enjoyed it.

509
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: While we're talking about Carly, there's not another question about this.

510
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: Did you see the Albert Breer post trade deadline story

511
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 2: that he did and it talked about the Colts in

512
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: the trade.

513
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit of that, yeah, yea yeah.

514
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: And the quote that he got was from from Carli Orsay.

515
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: Gordon was like, are you going to band aid it

516
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: or fix it forever or whatever? Yeah.

517
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: She asked Chris Baward that that question.

518
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: Do you think that's her giving her like, Hey, let's

519
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: do this and stop being, you know, the old curmudgety

520
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: guy that you have been with valuing your pictu or whatever,

521
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: and go out and get a guy that's proven who

522
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: can actually help us win right now.

523
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a great question because it was presented just

524
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: as a question and the piece I didn't think it

525
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: was in Mike Carli necessarily to say stop band aiding it.

526
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me a little bit of the

527
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: and we saw a video of this with the Colts

528
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: doing that with the Next Pick series when Jim Rsey

529
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: spoke up in the Zoom during the twenty twenty drafts

530
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: of saying haven't you guys talked about Jonathan Taylor a lot?

531
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Don't you really like him? And you know Ballard kind

532
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: of confirming that and being like, well, if you really

533
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: like him, then go up and get them. Yeah, and

534
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: they you know, and that trade was nothing like the

535
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: sauce gardener trade. That was just a Day three pick

536
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: to move up a few spots to get Taylor. So

537
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: like it again, this is my opinion. My opinion is

538
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a huge part of Carli Ersay's job to ask questions,

539
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: used to get the gears grind in a little bit

540
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: to think about that stuff. So you know, in a

541
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: way you can look at corner and yes, are they

542
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: trying to band aid it right now? With Xavian Howard

543
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: or maybe.

544
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: Mccli, Makai Blackman, Kaile Blackman, thank you or Taylor, the

545
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: guy from New Orleans Taylor.

546
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, like a little bit of that, But like

547
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: they also gave Traveri's Ward the most money they've given anybody. Yea,

548
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: and they they drafted Justin Wally in round three. So

549
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't like to me at corner Ballard hasn't tempted

550
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: a good amount. Maybe the big free agent signing is

551
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: the one he hasn't done until this one, now, you know. Again,

552
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Davor Rhodes and Stefan Gilmore were more of the short

553
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: term here. But yeah, I guess I didn't read it

554
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: Eddie as like she was saying, Hey, it's time to

555
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 1: bandate it. But I think she might have thought to herself,

556
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a premium position. It's a

557
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: position that we haven't had a lot of drafting success on.

558
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: If this opportunity does present itself and it doesn't grow

559
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: on trees, maybe this is the time, yeah, to try

560
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: and put more of a serious bandage on it and

561
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: not just whatever on a on a bullet wound there.

562
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought it was an interesting little tidbit

563
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: that Albert shared.

564
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: A position group that's kind of declined the last couple

565
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: of weeks along with Daniel Jones has been the offensive

566
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: and Jay would like to know what do you think

567
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: has been going on what the old line in the

568
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: past two weeks. Have teams just figured something out? Are

569
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: they wore out injuries? Just a big difference from almost

570
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: no sacks to thirteen in the last two games.

571
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question. I would say a little

572
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: bit of the edge pressure I think has mainly gotten

573
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: to the Colts more so than interior stuff, which is

574
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: not maybe what you'd expect given how the personnel is.

575
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: It continues to be a group that's incredibly healthy. Again,

576
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: nine of ten weeks of season, you've had the same

577
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: starting a line, and it's not like these guys have

578
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: been on the injury report any like. I know Brad

579
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: Smith's missed an occasional Wednesday, but that's really it.

580
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: You know.

581
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: I do think you've played a little bit of better front.

582
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: So I know the Atlanta guys are less heralded, but

583
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: you know they'd spend a lot of draft capital into

584
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Walker, into James Peers, and obviously the Pittsburgh guys

585
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: you still have some names. Granted I'm watching Sunday night

586
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: football thinking, man, the Pittsburgh dudes, you know, could erect

587
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: those chargers tackles a little bit more than the wreck

588
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: the old Colts high paid guys there. So, and I'll

589
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: go back to what I said about Daniel Jones earlier

590
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: in the offenses or the defense that I should say,

591
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: you're you're about to play. You're about to face some

592
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: pretty good fronts and fronts that are going to be

593
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: pretty exotic as well. So I that, to me, I

594
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: think is just different. And you know, again with the

595
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones element to this, one of the biggest Jones

596
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: outliers through the first eight games was what he was

597
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: doing against pressure, Like that was the bugaboo in New York. Yeah,

598
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: when pressure gets to him, he wilts. And again you

599
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: can say that about a lot of quarterbacks, but his

600
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: was very noticeable through the first eight games, Eddie, when

601
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: pressure got to him, he didn't will He would feast

602
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: frankly quite often. Was that the outlier? I think that's

603
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: probably the biggest question moving forward. It's like, you know,

604
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a level of Yes, the

605
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: on line has had some really sound games, but when

606
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: you're facing playoff caliber teams, there probably is going to

607
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: be some sort of whatever facts pressures, blitzeing, however you

608
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: want to label it. What does Jones look like? Can

609
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: you do a better job of surviving to the next play,

610
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: making drives, end and kicks, finding checkdowns, you know those

611
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: sorts of things, scrambling when those opportunities do present itself.

612
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be really critical for him

613
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: exit in the bye week.

614
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got some other questions about Daniel Jones in

615
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: his pocket awareness slash president, so I'll hold off on

616
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: asking any more on that. Colton and AJ This is

617
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: in regards to Alec Pierce because yesterday I know some

618
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: of these questions were coming in before ESPN releases, But

619
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: Matt Bowen no relation to Kevin Bowen none, and Jeremy

620
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: Fawler to senior reporters with ESPN. They came out with

621
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: their you know, top twenty five for the twenty twenty

622
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: six NFL free agency class, and three of the top

623
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: seven were Colts players Daniel Jones, Braden Smith and Alec

624
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: Pearce and in that order, we're on that list. And

625
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: would you resign Alec Pierce this offseason? If so, what

626
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: is the max you'd give him? That's the question from

627
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Colton and AJ he's going to demand a lot of

628
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: money and I don't know if the Colts have if

629
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: the Colts have that money, but he's looking to be

630
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: a favorite for Daniel Jones. And I connect the two

631
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: with this because Jeremy Fowler wrote in the piece that

632
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: don't be surprised if Alec Pierce gets twenty million a year.

633
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: And I just feel like Pierce has played his way

634
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: into more than twenty million a year based off the

635
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: fact that they're not just using him down the field

636
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: anymore as this speed demon guy to get you know,

637
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: beyond the corner and pass the safeties, to stretch the

638
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: field and chuck it down there, you know, draw pis

639
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: or whatever, get a thirty year completion. We're seeing him

640
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: a lot more over the middle on drag routs. We're

641
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: seeing him a lot more on these outside breaking routes

642
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: towards the sideline. And not to mention, you saw it

643
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: in the eighty three yard touchdown play. His blocking in

644
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: the run game is an underrated part of his game

645
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: that does not get talked about enough.

646
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is well said. You know, it's funny. We're

647
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: chatowing with Reggie Wayne last week about a variety of things.

648
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about Pierris Pierce. Someone mentioned

649
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of the arrow going up on them, and you know, Reggie,

650
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: in the typical Reggie way, is like, that's not the

651
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: only thing going up. So this is his price tag.

652
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, Reggie gets it, and specifically I think he

653
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: talks about that route tree. And you know, Eddie, remember

654
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, we got into a

655
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: little bit of this debate. I think it was right

656
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: around the Terry McLaurin news because Terry McLaurin and Michael

657
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: Pittman Junr Are following very similar contract situations. They opted

658
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: for the shorter second deal to hit free agency earlier

659
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: on the third contract. And I said to you, I go,

660
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: what would you rather do? Give Michael Pittman Junior a

661
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: third contract or give Alec Pierce a second contract? And

662
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: I said Pierce for the second contract.

663
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: I remember in training camp we were talking about which

664
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: receiver strikes more defense figure into a.

665
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Defense exactly who's easier to replace? Yeah, And to me,

666
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: and again it's come from Pittman guy. Like I've long

667
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: appreciated Pittman for what he brings, but the easier to

668
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: replace is him not Pierce now a all accounts, both

669
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: dudes love Indie and you know, Pittman has made his

670
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: home here literally from a farm standpoint, And you know,

671
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: I do think Saut Garter and Alek Pierce are very

672
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: very close. But yeah, it's just like this is probably

673
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: a bad analogy, and I shouldn't say it as a

674
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: father of two daughters, but like Alec Pierce is like

675
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: he's a smart girl that's now gotten hot too, or

676
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: he's the hot girl that's now.

677
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: Smart, probably the other way around.

678
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, because the strait was,

679
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, he was always hot because he could always

680
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: go deep. But now he's rounded about a little bit more.

681
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: So again, you know, what do you do? You do

682
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: you tag Pierce? I you and I were discussing this

683
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 1: before the show, Eddie. You know, the old twenty million tag. Frankly,

684
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty million before this year. I

685
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: think I'd said to you the Colts turned down a

686
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: team offering a second round pick for him, you know,

687
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: can you imagine? And that was pre start of the season.

688
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: So and then you know, if Jonathan Taylor keeps us up,

689
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: Malki Kawa ain't gonna be quiet this offseason. Nope, you

690
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: know that Taylor's agent's going to be chiming in here

691
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: as well. Son. I'd go back to something about Pierce,

692
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: like when when when you watch a TV copy of

693
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: games and you see Daniel Jones on cork one mm hm.

694
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: I just think to myself, if that announcer says and

695
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: he's got Pierce DP, it's like watching Halliburton shoot a

696
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: game winner in the playoffs.

697
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: It's like, you know what's going in. Yeah, you know

698
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: Pierce is catching it, uh huh penalty of the Yeah,

699
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: there's just like no doubting that. And honestly, more of

700
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: the question is Jones getting it on target. Frankly on

701
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: that So I don't know, Eddie.

702
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: I would probably rank it like this, Jones and Pierce

703
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: won one A and then I think it's a big

704
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: drop to Bradon Smith and the Cross m h. I

705
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: think it's very difficult to pay a second safety the

706
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: amount of money you're you have to pay a Necross YEP.

707
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: I get there's really nobody behind him. Whereas Jalen Travis,

708
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: it's I think it's Jalen Travis more than Gonsalves. I

709
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: think consolves interesting guard moving forward here. So that's how

710
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: I would view it now. Again, financially, you probably could

711
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: squeeze Braden and ordinate Cross in if you would like to.

712
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: And you know who knows where Braiden's at from a

713
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: family standpoint, you know, third contract all that. But yeah,

714
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: that's how I probably view.

715
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Just kind of looking at you know, average you know,

716
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: contracts or receivers. Two that stuck out to me when

717
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: I was looking at this Jamison Williams for Detroit twenty

718
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: six point six sixty six million a year, uh, Courtland

719
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: Sutton twenty three a year, Calvin Ridley twenty three a year,

720
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior twenty three point three three three repeating,

721
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: and Nico Collins for Houston twenty four and a quarter.

722
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean those are some impressive names you just

723
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: laid out there north of twenty. But obviously the cap

724
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: continues to go up.

725
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: The Jamison Williams one is the one that I would

726
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: probably look at the most.

727
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: And I just keep on going back to this Eddie.

728
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: He has the specialists trait. Yeah, And I say that

729
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: for a reason there, like he's got the unique element.

730
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what I could compare it to in

731
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: a different sport. I had to, like, whatever the rare

732
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: picture out of the bullpen that has just a special

733
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: pitch that you think.

734
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 2: Is Mariano Rivera's cutter, super effective.

735
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Sure, it's just that element to him of it's hard

736
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: to create a lot of deep chunk plays in the NFL. Yeah,

737
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: that's just how defenses are largely playing it. And when

738
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: you have a guy with whatever the volleyball background that

739
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: he has and his ability to high point in come

740
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: down with it, I mean he didn't. I'll never forget

741
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: him playing Notre Dame in IU in that final season Cincinnati,

742
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: and you know he lost some dudes in those games.

743
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: So boy, it's gonna be quite the quite the payday

744
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: for him and we'll see you know all again it

745
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: is Is Pittman going to be a.

746
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: Casually Yeah, that is a fascinating one to monitor this offseason.

747
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: Pittman obviously would have to be a casualty in my opinion,

748
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: just for you know, if you wanted to bring back

749
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: Nick Cross. But that's just how I feel about it.

750
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you might have to do some

751
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: of that juggling and then you know, again, where does

752
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: Louis Roumo come in to play with all this? Is

753
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: there more defensive personnel that he feels like needs to

754
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: be tweaked or changed? You know what's a future out linebacker?

755
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: M hm, Yeah, that's one that again doesn't seem like

756
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: it's a huge priority, but still you can't totally totally

757
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: ignore it.

758
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: Still, five Twitter questions left Walter looking at two games.

759
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: The last two games with Daniel Jones is looking more affordable.

760
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 2: What the Cults can't do is what the Giants did

761
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: and overpay him. When the overpay him then hurt their

762
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: chances to sign other key players. Ball security is a

763
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: big question with him, and he is showing more of

764
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 2: the Giants' traits that got him released. JT definitely should

765
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: be the MVP, and the success Dane Jones has had

766
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: is due to Jonathan Taylor running through the league.

767
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: Boy, I had to laugh when you said the word affordable.

768
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: Affordable and quarterback in the same sentence makes me laugh.

769
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I don't think that's the word I

770
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: would ever use. I understand where Walter is coming from. Eddie.

771
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: This is the slippery slope. Who are you paying for?

772
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

773
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: Are you paying for? Tannehill? Are you paying for Daniel

774
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: Jones Giants or are you paying for Baker? You know,

775
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: Seattle is a fascinating example of it this past offseason

776
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: letting Gina walk for Darnold, and by all accounts right now,

777
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: it looks like a definite upgrade. Like to me, I

778
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: don't think the Minnesota. You know, people people keep on

779
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: bringing up Minnesota. If I'm not mistaken, I think of

780
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota might have offered Daniel Jones more than Indy. I'm

781
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: pretty sure that is true. But like I understand where

782
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: Minnesota was, Like, you drafted JJ McCarthy, they traded up,

783
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: are they not for JJ McCarthy? They drafted him what

784
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: eleven overall? Twelve overall somewhere around there. Yeah, and you

785
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: know he wasn't some project, like you don't draft him

786
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: and not give him the keys at some point here,

787
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, could they have waited I guess another year

788
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe they could have. But again, Darnold probably won of

789
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: multiple years at that point. So you know, this is

790
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: going to be really really interesting. And like if this

791
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: level of let's say Jones, let's say if the first

792
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: eight games, Eddie in the last two games, Let's say

793
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: if those two had a baby, and that's the Daniel

794
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: Jones we see the rest of the season.

795
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: Now we learned from Max bow And that the baby

796
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: goes in the belly, right.

797
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Well that and if you're in the car with kids,

798
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: maybe you want to turn it down. But I do

799
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: have to share this from Max Bowing here from a

800
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: couple of days back, instead of Max, Hey, you want

801
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: to change Nelly? And you know he's intrigued, sure, yeah,

802
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: oh yeah. And you know Max has been super sweet,

803
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: and then he gets a dinosaur in his hand and

804
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: he gets close to Nellie and he turns into Bontees Burfett.

805
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: He's just head hunting and I'm like, Max, we can't

806
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: have it. So anyways, he comes and change, you know,

807
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: helps me change her, and you know, I take off

808
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: her diaper and get ready to you know, put a

809
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: new diaper, and certainly she has gone number two here

810
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: in this diaper, and all of a sudden, Max Bowen

811
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: just just yells out at Daddy, what is that? Look

812
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: at her penis? And I'm like, gosh. And so, you know,

813
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: anatomy for a three year old probably not necessarily the

814
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: most up to date, but.

815
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 2: He was birds in the convo.

816
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: He was confusing her umbilical cord, which you know is

817
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: still there. It was there until she had a blow

818
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: out last night, and then it finally came off. You know,

819
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, the umbilical cord kind of hangs in there

820
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: for for a few days pos post delivery, and he

821
00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: was very confused about that element two words there. So yeah,

822
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea where I was going with that,

823
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: Max Beellen, why did you bring him up?

824
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Because you remember he filled in for me that

825
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: went pot goes. Yeah, I was in mommy's belly, right.

826
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Yes, he's quite a lot, he said Falcons on the pod,

827
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: but he went with Colts on the helmet day, so

828
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: he got back to his twenty ways.

829
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, let's get back into the Twitter questions. Tank.

830
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones definitely holds onto the football way too long,

831
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: especially when defenses send pressure. I feel like that's part

832
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 2: of the reason why he keeps getting strip sacked. Are

833
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: there counter blitz is that stiking can install into our

834
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: game plan to prevent these disaster plays. I feel like

835
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: your read option plays could be one way to counter

836
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: the blitz. Another thing that I would say is just

837
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: the fact that he's just standing in the pocket too long.

838
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: He doesn't really. I understand he's trying to get away

839
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: from the narrative about him being a running quarterback first,

840
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: but step up in the pocket or trying to extend

841
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: the play a little bit.

842
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes back to what I was saying about

843
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh play on the shot to Pierce that he

844
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: wanted on the first down. You know, is there an

845
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: element and again this I think Steichen Anne Jones both

846
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 1: collaborating here, is there an element of when you draw

847
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: this play up on a Tuesday, you're saying to him, Hey,

848
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: on this play, we're leaving Braden Smith one on one

849
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: with TJ.

850
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 2: Watt.

851
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: You either have to anticipate that deep ball to pearce

852
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: at two point one in your head, and if you

853
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: get to two and a half, that ball's got to

854
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: be the number eighty four in the checkdown that I think.

855
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm fine with drawing up some concerted seven

856
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: step drops, you know, I always I feel that way

857
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame football.

858
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 2: Right now. CJ.

859
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: Carr is such a great deep ball thrower. You have

860
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: got to have him dialing. I would say one to

861
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: two deep balls every quarter. But when you do that

862
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: make sure that your tackles either he knows they're on

863
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: an island or they're not on an island. And you know,

864
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: you obviously want to deploy x amount of people out

865
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: on a route tree to you know, help out from

866
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: a checkdown standpoint, and so I think that is part

867
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: of it. I don't think maybe he's found as many checkdowns.

868
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: It seems like the Jonathan tam the little dumps haven't

869
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: been maybe as abundant or in general, where are those

870
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: hot and like it's hard to you know, when you're

871
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: taking a seven step drop, the old hot read is

872
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little different. So again, can you

873
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: find some of those hots a little bit more.

874
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: The Taylor checkdown aspect, just because they're asking him to

875
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 2: chip more and be in more pass protection.

876
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that could be part of it as well.

877
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: But you know, those legs have been a weapon. And

878
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: again it's not legs from a Reid option standpoint, it's

879
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: legs from a you know, scramble standpoint.

880
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: So that has been very good of it. How many

881
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: times have you said those legs have been a weapon?

882
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably a lot, But I that was I mean

883
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: without them, they don't win. I mean that third and

884
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: twenty one.

885
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean, even if you only gets ten there, how

886
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 2: many different things can you apply that to? Those legs

887
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: have been a weapon? Yeah, I don't.

888
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: It certainly has not been a PG pod today. This

889
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: is one of my half assed brain podcasts of all

890
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: time there, So I'm just trying to fight through it

891
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: and get back home.

892
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: Rat would like Dannel, has the fan base realized that

893
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: we're on a collision course for another Colts Patriots AFC championship.

894
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: Not going to count chickens before they hatch. But I

895
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 2: much prefer playing the Chiefs and the Patriots and playoff football.

896
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: How about this, haven't they played each of like the

897
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: last four years and this is the one year that

898
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: they haven't played each other and they're both good again?

899
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: Colts Patriots? Yeah yeah, I think you're right. Yeah yeah,

900
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: I And now we're getting in the old chief stat

901
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: of like Patrick Mahomes has never beat the Colts to

902
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: two in the regular season, right, I did beat them

903
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: in a in the playoffs there. I do think Drake

904
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: may is good. I don't know if I don't think

905
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Excuse me, I don't think the Patriots are

906
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: eight and two good? But I do think Drake May

907
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: is good. I would rather play the Patriots and the

908
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs though, Yeah, I mean I'm a big believer in

909
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: playoffs stepping stones, Yeah, and like playoff experience matters. Took

910
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning six years to win a game in the playoffs,

911
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,479
Speaker 1: took him what nine years to win a Super Bowl?

912
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck had the progression of three years appearance when

913
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: Road win. It is pretty wild when you look at

914
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: the standings, Eddie, Like, Jacksonville to me is on life support.

915
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: I just don't see them hanging in there. Maybe their

916
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: schedule will help them out, but I think that collapse

917
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday was Travis Hunter out for the year. Like

918
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: to me, it just I don't think Jacksonville will be there.

919
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: But in versely, Houston seems to be ascending.

920
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they got a long way to go. They

921
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: got a small margin for air and it could be

922
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: another week of Davis Mills so and I know they

923
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: got Tennessee. But still you very well, which would be wild.

924
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: We could get to January and the three Road wild

925
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: card quarterbacks Mahomes, Allen and Herbert Wild. You imagine what

926
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: the Vegas lines would look like with those three on

927
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: the road, and that's why it's so critical to get

928
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: the one seat, you know, to be the Colts and

929
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: not be the Patriots. Or tonight, if you're listening to this,

930
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: we're recording late Thursday morning. J E t s it up.

931
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: You want the Jets to beat the Patriots. And you know,

932
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of this debate on our

933
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: morning show.

934
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: Just don't drop the ball?

935
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, eighty Mitchell plus one thousand, I see to.

936
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: Score touchdown, I believe. So this game, we got a

937
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: little bit.

938
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: Of the debate of Denver Kansas City a Sunday, who

939
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: would you rather have win? And I am of the

940
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: thinking of you want the one seed, so you want

941
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: Kansas City to beat Denver. But then there's a little

942
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: bit of thinking of do you just want to try

943
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: and bury Kansas City? Yeah, which it's a good counter thought.

944
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm there, but I can kind of

945
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: hear people out on that.

946
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because right now, what Kansas City five and four

947
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 2: there because they're technically.

948
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: The eight, right they're they're they're outside of Jacksonville.

949
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you would have to assume one of Cincinnati

950
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 2: or Baltimore is going to ascend into that conversation as well.

951
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Boy, I'll go back Eddie to a conversation we had

952
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday before the Falcons game. Like to me, I think

953
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: I called it like a heightened urgency. You know, it's

954
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: one of these games, and I think, you know, it's

955
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: an NFC game in the middle of the sea. On paper,

956
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it's a big game. To me,

957
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: that was such a crucial win because you know, and

958
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: just look at the sequence of those two games at

959
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: the AFC South Yeah, if Atlanta bats down fourth and

960
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: two and Davis Mills doesn't scramble for his life, now

961
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're looking at what three loss

962
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: Indie and three loss Jacksonville going into the by and

963
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: you still face Jacksonville twice. Like the AFC South By record,

964
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: the Colts have a very nice lead, but the fact

965
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: that they haven't played Jacksonville Houston leaves the door open.

966
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: Now again, I expect Indy to close it. But mathematically,

967
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: if Jacksonville worked to sweep you, now, all of a sudden,

968
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: the division turns into probably a little bit of favorite

969
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. Yeah, just mathematically had a head tiebreaker. All that.

970
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 2: Ben would like to know if the Colts can put

971
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: Ashton Dollan back there to return punts. Josh Dowens is

972
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 2: talented and has game breaking ability, but he has a

973
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: turnover waiting to happen. We saw it two weeks ago

974
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 2: and it almost happened again against the Falcons. He didn't

975
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 2: track the ball well in the air.

976
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does have a little bit of that.

977
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: To him now.

978
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: Isn't it always funny how the most dynamic punt returners

979
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: have a little bit of that to them almost you

980
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: know the ball and I'm thinking of Josh Cribs fumbling

981
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: on the It's the title game after the Colts gotten

982
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: early stop against New England and the flight gate took

983
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: on a whole different meaning from there, so it yeah,

984
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: I hear you out on it. Yeah, Doolan, I don't.

985
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: I can't even recall Dulan field in too many punts,

986
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: even during training camp. It always seems like it's just

987
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: a small white out that's back there doing it. So,

988
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Goold seems to be fine. You know,

989
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: you would think Downs would be just so secure based

990
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: off how he uses as a white out there, But

991
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: he definitely has told the line. But then when he

992
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: gets his hands on it huge place. And again I'll

993
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: go back and said earlier man Abdullah on those returns.

994
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I assume the Colts would have gotten into

995
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: badsy field goal range. Again, but any boy Abdullah getting

996
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: that return like he did, you probably removed yourself from

997
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: another two to three pass rush situations. Yeah, and giving

998
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: out your line and Daniel Jones were holding up. That

999
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: might have been the difference in the game.

1000
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Final Twitter question is from Joel. Now that Sauce

1001
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: Gardner trade has happened, it seems apparent that Daniel Jones

1002
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: is going to be the guy moving forward. Joel's question

1003
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: is did the Colts show their hand by not extending

1004
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: Jones before the trade deadline? But another way, will Jones

1005
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: come at a higher price now that his agent knows

1006
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: the Colts now lack the resources to draft the top

1007
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 2: tier quarterback for the next two years at least, or

1008
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 2: was it too soon to get a deal done with

1009
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: Jones not criticizing the trade, I am a fan of it.

1010
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Joel. It's that's probably one way to look

1011
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: at I think that's a good point. Now we should

1012
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 1: mention you do have the franchise tag, you know, Eddie.

1013
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to think this a an agent is an agent.

1014
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: They're going to try and get the most money. I

1015
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: understand how that works, and that's their job. I also

1016
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: would like to think, in a quiet moment between agent

1017
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones, where they're not speaking to the colts

1018
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: and the colts aren't listening, they would like to say,

1019
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, A would like to say, you know what,

1020
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: this indie situation has worked out great?

1021
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 2: Yep.

1022
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: I love Shane Saikam, Jonathan Taylor, I love the tin roof,

1023
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: I love going the NY five hundred and having a

1024
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: drink or two. I enjoy my life here and I

1025
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: enjoy playing football here, and that, to me easy for

1026
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: me to say is worth a couple million less than

1027
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: going to play in New Orleans, yeah, or wherever. So again,

1028
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: I know that sounds mary, and it's easy for me,

1029
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: as someone that has never seen commas like Daniel Jones

1030
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: and will never sniff commas like Daniel Jones in his life,

1031
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: to sit here and say, but I'd like to think

1032
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: that's in the corner now. Again, it's a dangerous game

1033
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: to play. You talking about the podcast, Oh very good, Gosh,

1034
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: my brain is so Fried today like that. That didn't

1035
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: even register to me.

1036
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: Nice job.

1037
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess the Colts showed their hand a

1038
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 1: little bit. But you know, you can only acquire quarterbacks

1039
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: in so many ways. How Jones plays the rest of

1040
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: the year, Eddie really interesting.

1041
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 2: It'll be really interesting to see how the Anthony Richardson

1042
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: play out in Downfall this too, because obviously you've committed

1043
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: to Jones with the.

1044
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: Two trading in the air. I mean, does Richardson put

1045
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: on a Colt's uniform in the rest of the year.

1046
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: I guess he's eligible to come off, ir right, isn't

1047
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: he after the bye?

1048
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1049
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: I almus tell me that that I was, and that

1050
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: I was like very close to being essentially gone. It

1051
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: was like that close.

1052
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, So, I mean.

1053
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: I hope I can't. And again we're only out there

1054
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: for the first twenty I don't know if I've seen

1055
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: him at a Colts practice yet. Have you seen him

1056
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: on the sidelines? I don't think so, Yeah, I don't.

1057
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: I've been thinking I'm actively looking, right, but you would

1058
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: think the camera would show him.

1059
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, is there?

1060
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: So hopefully everything's good on that end, all right, Eddie,

1061
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: you got anything else?

1062
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 2: Man? Do you have anything more than do we have

1063
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 2: any other inappropriate stuff to talk about? Yeah?

1064
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: Do you have to put the E on this?

1065
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: Capitally the explicit.

1066
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: He is Eddie Garrison, I'm Kevin Bow and everybody have

1067
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: a great, great weekend and we'll be back next Wednesday.

1068
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: Colts Corner, Kevin Bow and Colts in Chiefs in Week twelve.
