Hopefully you have some safe 14 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: travels here to Indy. 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here. Good morning to you guys as well. 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 3: I did the Jets and the Saints yesterday for CBS, 17 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: so it took me a little bit of time to 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 3: get here from New Orleans. But I'm here. Just hit 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 3: up the hotel restaurant. I'm ready to go. 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: Your level of shock. 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: If I would have told you two weeks ago, go hey, 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: that Monday night game in Indie. 23 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: It'll be Philip Rivers. You're talking about a quarterback. 24 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: You know, it really hadn't even occurred to me, hadn't 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: thought of it. And I just must say personally, really 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: really disappointed for Daniel Jones and all of the Colts. 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: I called their game runner in the year for CBS 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: against Tennessee and they were really rolling. I was a 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: firm believer that they were one of the best teams 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: in football, and very very excited about the marriage between 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and Shane Stiken and how well that had 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 3: been going. And just kind of really bummed out about 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: everything that happened. Kind of started, I think with the 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: cracked fibula for Daniel, and then obviously was what happened 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: with the torn achilles. You know, Philip Rivers wasn't really 36 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: on my radar. It's kind of crazy if you think 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: about listen to this. Okay, the Colts signed a forty 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: four year old quarterback who hasn't played football in five 39 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: years because their starting quarterback who was playing with the 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: broken leg towards achilles, and the backup quarterback fractured his 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: eyebones with a rubber band before a game. I mean 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: that if that was in a movie I don't think 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 3: you'd even believe it, and yet that's basically what happened 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: to the Colts and it's extremely unfortunate. 45 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you hit right on the head there, 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 4: Ross with a lot of the circumstances that led to 47 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 4: Rivers coming out of retirement and joining the Colts. But 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 4: how much of it do you think is just beyond 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 4: the movie aspect of it, because there is a certain 50 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: level of whow the old guys doing it to? You 51 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 4: got to win games. So when you're analyzing this team, 52 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: how do you think Rivers can potentially help them keep 53 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 4: their playoff hopes alive with the win tonight against the 54 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 4: forty nine ers. 55 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think that he gave them a chance to 56 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: win against Seattle. I am really curious to see how 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: the Niners play them tonight because he did not try 58 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: to drive the ball down the field very much at all, 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: and when he did, it was not effective. The Niners 60 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: themselves don't have a very good rush. But I don't 61 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: think you want to blitz Philip because he knows where 62 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: to go with the football. You know you're not going 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: to get to him. He's not going to let you 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: hit him if you try to blitz them. So this 65 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: could be a truly unique game and in which the 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: Niners are either you know, playing breast man and trying 67 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: not to give up anything underneath. I actually think they're 68 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: going to play a bunch of super condensed zone where 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: everything is pushed up and they're basically daring Philip Rivers 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: to try to throw it deep. You know, now that 71 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: you've got a full game of hate back on film, 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: the part that I think is really cool is to 73 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: kind of see what ends up happening now now that 74 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: they've seen what he can or cannot do. I do 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: think he'll give them a chance to win again. But 76 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: the Niners offense is really good. I thought that was 77 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: one of the big takeaways I had from the Colts 78 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: Seahawks game. Is Seyorks defense played well. I mean, Seeks defense, 79 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: give him a chance to win, and now you get 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: Buckner back. I thought Buckner would be done for the year. 81 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: He is a difference making player. He's a top two 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: or three most important player on the Colts team. So 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 3: to get him back tonight is massive. 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: And that's a voice of Ross Tucker. I hear him 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: on the Ross Tucker podcast. Here him everywhere, CBS he's 86 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: done some Colts games this year. He'll be on the 87 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: west Wood one call tonight over on Twitter at Ross Tucker, NFL. 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: It's funny you say that because I was talking with 89 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: an NFL assistant on another team and he said, if 90 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: he was facing Rivers, he would just drop eight. 91 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: Do you kind of you that general thought? 92 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned condense that zone a little bit there, 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: because yes, you obviously manage the game great in Seattle. 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: But you know, I think we all can look at 95 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: that and say that's not an offense that's sustainable over 96 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: the course of however long you need him. 97 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: You know, I don't think that I'm going to Yeah, 98 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: I don't think I would say necessarily drop eight. But 99 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: that's interesting because you know, he doesn't have that strong 100 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: of an arm. So you sit there and you think about, 101 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: you know, just how much he'll have to be able 102 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: to put it ball into a window. If you drop eight, 103 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: that that's you know, I might steal that and use 104 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: that tonight. That's certainly a possibility. I'd probably still rush 105 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: for to try to get somebody at him eventually or 106 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 3: at some point, but I do think, you know, dropping 107 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: eight is a real possibility. The point will be make 108 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: him throw it deeper down the field. I think you 109 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: guys have probably talked Dad and Knowledge about the statistics 110 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: of the throwers that were more than ten yards in 111 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: the air. That's number one, and then number two. Really 112 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 3: make sure that he has to drive the ball into 113 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: small window. So drop eight stone coverage and really, you know, 114 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: get close to sticky coverage on the underneast guys, and 115 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: see if he can see if he can do it, 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: see if you can fire a ball in there. There's 117 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: a real chance he throws a few picks tonight because 118 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: he's going to try to fit the ball in there. 119 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't come back from retirement to be 120 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: throwing the ball away all night. 121 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: Ross. 122 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: How quickly did you perhaps pivot to the idea of 123 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 4: him playing again when the news broke because at first 124 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: it was you know, practice squad, tryout. He knows Roley 125 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 4: Leonard very well. But as you said, he didn't come 126 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: back to hold a clipboard. So how quickly did you 127 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 4: wrap your mind around that? And I'm I mean, I 128 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 4: don't want to gloss over it. If he wins tonight, 129 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: he would be only the third quarterback. 130 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: In the history of the sport. 131 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 4: To win a game at age forty four or older. 132 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: Well, I kind of thought, and maybe this was selfish 133 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: of me because I'm calling the game tonight, but I 134 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: kind of thought they might see what Riley could do. 135 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: In the first game, you know, against Seattle. I know 136 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: Riley was a little bit banged up, but I kind 137 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: of thought they might give Riley a spin with a 138 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: full week of practice, getting all of the reps and 139 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: having the whole game plan designed around his skill set. 140 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: Because Riley's I think, pretty good and he can run. 141 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 3: So I kind of thought they would give Rivers a 142 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: little more time to get acclimated and give Riley one 143 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: chance to see what he can do. You know, it's 144 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: almost like I'm not saying he's Malik Willis, but you know, 145 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: when the Packers have had to play Malik Willis, lafour 146 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: like totally changes his game plan. Malik runs a lot, 147 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: and the Packers have won. You know, they've won every 148 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: game as Malik Willis. I thought Steichen might sort of 149 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: dip into the Jalen Hurts twenty twenty one game plan, 150 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: have Riley run a bunch and use those legs and 151 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 3: end up having success as a result, and potentially winning. 152 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: I guess the concern there is, you know, Riley gets 153 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: hurt and you're in trouble. But I thought they would 154 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: give Riley one game with all of the reps in 155 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: practice during the week, but they elected not to. 156 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely debate we have had here in they all right, 157 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: Ross last one for me and again hosts of the 158 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Ross Tucker podcasting follow him at Ross Tucker NFL and 159 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: you'll hear him tonight on the Westwood One calls. Kevin 160 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: Harlan here on Monday Night Football. Going back to what 161 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: you said a little bit earlier in the conversation about 162 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones about how this team was looking pre injury. 163 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Are you under the belief or think the Colts should 164 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: operate in a bring everybody back, including Daniel Jones for 165 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. 166 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 3: I am. I am. Now that's not to say that 167 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: there shouldn't be some tweaks, but I honestly think they 168 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: have a really good team. You know, I don't look 169 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: at Denver or New England and think that they're way 170 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: ahead of the Colts. I don't even think they're ahead 171 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 3: of the Colts at all. You know, if Buckner doesn't 172 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: get hurt if Garter doesn't get hurt. And I know 173 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: that every team has injuries, but there are certain guys 174 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: that are game changing players. There's only three or four 175 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 3: on a team, maybe five, And you know, obviously we'll 176 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: see you about Sauce Gardner, but the Colts think he is. 177 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 3: Buckner definitely is, and the starting quarterback is, which, by 178 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: the way, is one thing that makes what the Niners 179 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: have done this year even more impressive because I would 180 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: tell you that Nick Bosa and Fred Warner are those guys. 181 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: They are game changing players. You know, they're two of 182 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: the top twenty defensive players in the NFL, certainly the 183 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: two best defensive players for the forty nine ers. So 184 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 3: the fact that the forty areas are even in this 185 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: position says a lot about them. But yeah, I would 186 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: try to keep the band together as much as possible 187 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: with Daniel Jones and the Colts, you know, assuming you'd 188 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 3: be able to come back to help. I think it's 189 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: better than whatever other alternatives would be out there. 190 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: All right, Ross, it is the holiday season. Typically you're 191 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: saving us from a present standpoint. Have you got something 192 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: cooked up here around Christmas? 193 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: Well? It's funny because I usually tell you guys about 194 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: myfront Big story dot Com, which is incredible to give 195 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: to like a loved one, your wife or whatever. Just 196 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 3: an incredible, incredible gift. But I recently found out about 197 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: futurefans dot Com and I don't love if either one 198 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: of you guys has kids. But it's different than it 199 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: wasn't when we were growing up. I mean, it is 200 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: really hard to get young kids to sit and watch 201 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: a whole football game, you know, for you guys, whether 202 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: it's the Hoosiers or the Colts, they want to be 203 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 3: on their iPad, they want to be doing a million 204 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: other things. These guys at futurefans dot Com have really 205 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: cracked the code, and so think about being able to 206 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: give your child a gift for Christmas or whatever that 207 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 3: you're giving it to them, I think it's sixty bucks, 208 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: but with the twenty percent discounts fifty bucks, you're really 209 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: giving the gift to yourself. Because if they'll sit there 210 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: and watch every IU game and every Colts game with 211 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: you for years, that's probably the best gift you could 212 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: ever get your son, your daughter, grandson, granddaughter, niece, nephew. 213 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 3: I actually invested in the company after I spoke to 214 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: five different families five they all said it worked. I'm like, Okay, 215 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: that's good enough for me because, by the way, these 216 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: sports leagues are dying to try to find solutions to 217 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: get young people to get engaged and want to watch 218 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: the whole game. So it's Futurefans dot Com. These guys 219 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 3: are geniuses, a couple of NBA guys that crack over 220 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: there and check it out.

Thank you so much. 228 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: Ross Tucker, pay Less Slickers Hotline Again, hosts of the 229 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: Ross Tucker Podcast at Ross Tucker NFL. You know the 230 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: drop eight idea, James, that I kind of threw Ross's 231 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: way against Rivers. I think the thought there is he 232 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: is so cognizant of getting the ball out quick, you know, 233 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: think a little hot potato eat that it really doesn't 234 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: matter how much you rush him per se like. 235 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: Because you won't get there. 236 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: Well, you won't get there, and he's not dumb enough 237 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,599 Speaker 1: to hold on to it like he's not going to 238 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: try to extend. 239 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: He's he knows his internal clock. He knows has got 240 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: to get the ball out here. 241 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: For a guy who's played as much as he has, 242 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 4: he's rarely taken a lot of sacks in his career. 243 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's not three four second. So it's like, yes, 244 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: a pass rush could aid, but even if it doesn't 245 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: get home, he knows what that clock is in his head, 246 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: so he might naturally just get rid of it, even 247 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: if the pocket isn't necessarily collapsing around him. 248 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: So I think it's a really interesting thought. 249 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Again, on paper, the San Francisco defense one of the 250 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: more vanilla defenses in the entire NFL. Gus Bradley on 251 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: that staff there with Robert Sala as their coordinator. So 252 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: definitely something to keep an eye on as we continue 253 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: to look ahead to tonight. It is Colts, It is 254 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: forty nine ers a half hour from now. Joe Buck 255 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: is going to join us right here on the Fan 256 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Morning Show.
