1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Best of the Fan Morning Show

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five The Fan.

Speaker 1: ninety three to five and one oh seven five The Fan.

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: Caleb's got JB move in this morning.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: It's a Friday, man, you gotta move a little bit Friday.

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 4: This is probably my favorite thing about the new studios.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 4: James can just get up and dance and everybody can

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 4: see it.

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 5: The move it thought about your boy you know we

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 5: have I don't know what to do with a chair

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 5: that actually works and has a back on it and

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 5: everything else I don't do. I used to use the

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 5: old one, just almost out of like.

15
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: A badge of honor.

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 5: I'm on the old building later, Jeff, I will bring

17
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 5: it by if you'd like me. No, but last week

18
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 5: someone had already put it in the trash ben and

19
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: I did return it so I could do it the

20
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 5: last two shows in the old studios in that just

21
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 5: old broken down, barely hanging on chair for old time sake,

22
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 5: ry for old time sake.

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: It's The Fan Morning Show. Kevin Bowen, James Boyd, I'm.

24
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 5: Jeff Rickard, Caleb and Mark dyked in there this morning

25
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 5: as we come to you for day two of our

26
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 5: brand new studios, and there'll be a work in progress

27
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 5: as we've been talking about, uh and I'm just looking

28
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 5: forward to it.

29
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: But man, one quick thing. You've got entirely new, expensive.

30
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: Equipment that you're playing with back there, Caleb, does it?

31
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 5: Do you have the new car feel with all that stuff?

32
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like Philip Rivers in a way like back

33
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: in the saddle and got some new weapons to uh

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: at my disposal.

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: So it's awesome. OK.

36
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: Aren't you like two half his age?

37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 6: Ye?

38
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Man, oh man, oh man. I'll ask this question.

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 5: We've all had time to think about it in a

40
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 5: you know, probably not specifically on this topic, but what

41
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 5: kind of line are we looking at in the stats

42
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 5: on the box score for Philip Rivers when this game

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: ends against that What is a realistic if if he

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 5: has a good day and help helps the cult state

45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 5: competitive if not, when, what does that box score line

46
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 5: look like?

47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 3: No time overs? Obviously one QB sneak touchdown I'm joking,

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: one boot leg and run out and you know, get

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: to the get to the pylone probably one touchdown and

50
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: JT goes off. Hell, maybe no touchdown. You just hand

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: the ball off, don't turn it over. I do have

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: some numbers. I want to throw it at you guys though.

53
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 7: Okay, one thing to add real quick, James, just before

54
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 7: we move on from the River's individual numbers. Vegas has

55
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 7: his day as seventeen to twenty eight for one fifty two.

56
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 7: That's about what I would say interception more likely than

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 7: a touchdown.

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: So this is why I want to throw these numbers

59
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: out there, because I feel like it can give more context.

60
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 7: Maybe what we thirty for Donald, just to compare the

61
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 7: two two thirties over under for Donald, one.

62
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Fifty two for Uncle Phil.

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: So we were looking at some numbers last night because

64
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: I wanted to just be kind of aware of, you know,

65
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: what is he kind of stepping into with this team

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: in Seattle. So if you look at Seattle, they have

67
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: the most QB hits of any NFC team. Entering last night,

68
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: which is officially week fifteen, they were tied for the

69
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: second most QB hits in the entire league with one

70
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: hundred and eight. So they get after the quarterback obviously.

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: The scary part about that their pressure rate is thirty

72
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: nine point nine percent might as well say forty percent,

73
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: fourth highest in the league. Their blitz rate is twenty

74
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: one percent, and that is, I believe the mathis correct,

75
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: the sixth lowest in the league. So all it's say

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: all the jargon I just threw out there, what I'm

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: saying is they get to you without blitzing you, and

78
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: that tells me that allows you.

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: To still stack the box against JT.

80
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: So all of that context, maybe guys what I think

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers will do, which is why I'm about to

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: take the under on those passing yards. Man Like, they

83
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: get to the quarterback whether it's anybody, and you're relying

84
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: on a rookie right tackle, most likely in Jalen Travis

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: and a guy who was a statue before it might

86
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: be I don't know, mummified by now.

87
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we mentioned it earlier at the top of

88
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: the show, and for everybody just joining us, thank you

89
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: this morning. I just worry what happens if you get

90
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: clearly the Colts can't.

91
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: Get into a track meet is really my bottom line.

92
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: Somewhere, somehow, that defense has got to at least limit

93
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, who can be very explosive. They got the

94
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 5: best wide receiver in the league. They've got a competent quarterback,

95
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: and their running game has been okay at times good

96
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 5: at times they've struggled, but they do have a couple

97
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: of decent running backs, and they've got a guy that

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: can sling the ball a little bit.

99
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: But they've got maybe the best wide receiver in the game.

100
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: My biggest fear is, even if the Colts play well offensively,

101
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: they still might be one or two scores behind the Seahawks.

102
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: Anyway.

103
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you're a two touchdown underdog for a reason,

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 7: and it's the biggest in the NFL.

105
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Here in week fifteen.

106
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean some sort of blueprint again, pray for

107
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 7: rain you want it ugly, Yeah, I mean, I think

108
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 7: you have to have the wet ball game where sometimes

109
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 7: the ball just bounces your way and it doesn't sound

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 7: like we're getting the down. We'll obviously wait and see

111
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 7: the Pacific Northwest, it always seems to rain, but it

112
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 7: doesn't seem like it's going in that sort of direction.

113
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 7: No bad plays for Philip Rivers. Every drive into a kick.

114
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 7: You know, as soon as that rush gets to you,

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 7: you go fetal position and pray that your hip stays

116
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 7: intact and Jonathan Taylor creases one. And you know one

117
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 7: thing about Seattle that they have done, they have turned

118
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 7: it over at an alarming rate. It's probably one of

119
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 7: the wildest stats I've come across to the Seahawks this week.

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 7: They have won ten games a season and they rank

121
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 7: second to last and turnovers, which does not correlate at all. Like,

122
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 7: if you look at the biggest turnover teams in the NFL,

123
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 7: you're talking three, four or five win football teams. Why

124
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 7: are the Seattle Seahawks at thirty first in the NFL

125
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 7: and turnovers yet ten wins. It's to all those things

126
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 7: that James just mentioned there. They do everything else extraordinarily

127
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 7: well besides turn the ball over. Now, Darnold did have

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 7: the one big interception game.

129
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: So that skews some of it, but even with that,

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: they still have turned it over at a really high rate.

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 7: So, you know, can your special teams create a short

132
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 7: field all those things? I mean, you're gonna need to

133
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 7: check all the boxes to have a hope and a

134
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: prayer of somehow, some way shocking the world. And if

135
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 7: you did, it'd be one of the most wild wins

136
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 7: this franchise has ever had.

137
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: What does it do for the rest of the season

138
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: if they go up there and get a rowin Think

139
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: about that.

140
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Where do you mean where are they at on mone

141
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: You wouldn't talk about juice, Kevin.

142
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: People are going to start getting electrocuted if they win

143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 5: this game in Seattle Lot by Monday over there in

144
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: that building.

145
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: There's going to be energy running all over the place.

146
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, it gives you a shot in the

147
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: arm and a realistic chance to get into the dance.

148
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: And that's all you're asking for at this point. Is

149
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: just such an uphill battle you're facing. And well I

150
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't say battle. It's not going off to war here,

151
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: but you get them on a point football, big game,

152
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: big matchup, a tough task at hand.

153
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: Well, there'll be a four to twenty five start. That's

154
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 5: when we'll all start to see it unfold. And I

155
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: gotta at the end of the day, this is the question,

156
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 5: does Philip rivers, clearly, Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard do

157
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: does Philip Rivers give them the best chance to win

158
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 5: a football game on Sunday?

159
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: I've got a question. So I believe it was Mohaly

160
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: Cox who was going over this in the locker room,

161
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: shouts Nathan Brown, the new Ish Indie star Cults reporter.

162
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: He's coming over from Indy Car does a great job

163
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: with Joey Ericsson. We probably get him on the show

164
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: one of these days. He's doing great works and is

165
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: joining the Beat. And he had a story that I

166
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: was reading this morning before I got here about Mohali

167
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: Cox sort of ranking the craziness of his experiences with

168
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: the Colts. So I wanted to throw it out to

169
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: you guys and kve. You've been on the be obviously

170
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: longer than me. But where does this rank top three

171
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: weirdest Colts moment, excluding Angeloux's retirement, which is obviously that's

172
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: in and of itself weird Hall of fame? Where does

173
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: this rank for you?

174
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

175
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 7: I mean I still put Josh McDaniel's really high up there.

176
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: I would put Jeff's Saturday really high up.

177
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: There, Saturday higher than this, Yes.

178
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Easily, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, easily.

179
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 7: I mean you had which you know, again, that's kind

180
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 7: of the debate We had to start the show. At

181
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 7: the start of the week, we thought the Cults are

182
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 7: on their four string quarterback. It's now a little bit

183
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 7: more apparent to me that they're on their third string quarterback,

184
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 7: they're opting for Riley Leonard, They're opting for Philip Rivers

185
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 7: over Raley Leonard, Whereas at the start of the week,

186
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 7: I think we thought that ryle Leandard was hurt, which

187
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 7: doesn't appear to be the case.

188
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's where I would put it. Trying

189
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: to think of what else.

190
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 7: The Mooney Ward Anthony Richardson thing happening in pregame, I

191
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 7: mean that was just wild as hell too.

192
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that.

193
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 7: Was the whole season's been a wild well yeah, but

194
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 7: you know, as far as James's list there, you know,

195
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 7: I would put that one so up there. I'm trying

196
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 7: to think what else the whole twenty twenty one season,

197
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 7: just the debacle late with Carson Wentz. Yeah, you know,

198
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 7: I would think that would rank up there as well.

199
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm probably missing some, I mean.

200
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: In terms of I mean, you haven't even mentioned and

201
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 3: maybe it should probably on this list with the Jonathan Taylor,

202
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: Jim Urse Saga the owner and your star player sub

203
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: tweeting each other like it has been crazy here in

204
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: the last four or five.

205
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 7: Years, And honestly, I go far back and fortunately for

206
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 7: all parties involved, particularly Chuck, you know, it ended up

207
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 7: oh yeah, you know, obviously being healthy. But I mean,

208
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 7: you have Chuck Pagano get get leukemia in the middle

209
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 7: of a season.

210
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not that you.

211
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: Were going with the we're gonna fire him, wait come

212
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: back tonight.

213
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 7: We're gonna hire well that that too, but you know,

214
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 7: I'm more of you know, how many times do you

215
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 7: see an NFL head coach just have to leave.

216
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: His team for three months? I mean you don't usually

217
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: see that.

218
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 7: And you know Bruce arians leads him to the playoffs,

219
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 7: as you know, to add another layer to that story

220
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 7: during Andrew Lux rookie season. So yeah, on the scale

221
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 7: of you know, absurdness, it's not maybe because maybe it's temporary,

222
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 7: but I mean, who knows Philip Rivers plays well for

223
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 7: you and then he's your start a week one next year.

224
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: So here's what molly Cox said. Shout out again to

225
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: Nathan Brown for this awesome story In Any Star, molly

226
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: Cox says, yeah, Andrew Luck is number one for sure.

227
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: You see, I might put this number two or three,

228
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: And he said, and I say that because this could

229
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: be two or three because we came in here and

230
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: hired Jeff Saturday. You never know what's going to happen

231
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 3: in here, so there you go. So that's the respective

232
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: of a player who's been here for most of the

233
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: things you just laid out, Kevin. So one of the

234
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 3: interesting more thoughts that I had this morning driving in, like, Wow,

235
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: this is never dull here and it's the greatest reality

236
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: show in the world pro sports.

237
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 7: I haven't done this all week, and I wanted to

238
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 7: make sure that I took the time to do it

239
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 7: because you know, obviously the news cycle has just changed

240
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 7: so so much as the week has moved on. But

241
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 7: just a hat tip to Daniel Jones, and I bring

242
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 7: this up because Jones did reach out on Instagram last

243
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 7: night shared this state and that thank you to my teammates,

244
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 7: the coaches, the cults, organization, all the fans for the

245
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 7: overwhelming support. Tough way to end the season, but it

246
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 7: has been an or to wear the horseshoe and play

247
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 7: for Colts fans. I'll miss lining up with my guys,

248
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 7: but I'll be riding with them every.

249
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: Step of the way. Go Colts.

250
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 7: You know, Daniel Jones gave this franchise two months of

251
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 7: quarterback play they haven't sniffed in years, and by all accounts,

252
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 7: is a great pro. I think guys in that locker

253
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 7: room thoroughly enjoyed his presence, even if his whatever comments

254
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 7: to the media weren't as candid and at times boring.

255
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 7: And you know, he had been through a lot clearly

256
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 7: in New York and in that injury, not only did

257
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 7: he lose his season, but he also lost millions and

258
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 7: millions of dollars in going down.

259
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: So just a hat tip to him.

260
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 7: You know, I think watching his emotion on the field

261
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 7: play out on Sunday was quite quite evident.

262
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: So you know, obviously you hope for speaking recovery.

263
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 7: Last night you watched a quarterback coming back from a

264
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 7: torn achilles. And if you want to play the timetables out,

265
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 7: Kirk Cousins what toured in October, I believe a couple

266
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 7: of years back and was ready for Week one. So

267
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 7: you know, for your Daniel Jones optimistic timetables out there,

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 7: how early in the twenty twenty sixth season could he play?

269
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 7: He's what eight years younger than Kirk Cousins was when

270
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 7: he towards Achilles, So we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

271
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 7: But just a hat tip to what Daniel Jones gave

272
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 7: this franchise.

273
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: Fan morning show with James Boyd, Kevin Bowman Bowen, I'm

274
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 5: jeff Rickart. I can't even speak right now. And of

275
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 5: course got Caleb Zuber back there. Marcus disappeared into the ethernets.

276
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: He's still back. He's still back there. There he is.

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: We'll stay in, stay in framed there, buddy. That's all

278
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: a couple of things, you guys. You need to see

279
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 5: the avatar that EA Sports has created for Philip Rivers.

280
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: They were not shy about putting a few pounds on Phil.

281
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: He wasn't too shy by admitting it, and honestly he's

282
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: got the dad by working.

283
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: But hey, Tim Allen saving Christmas.

284
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's a philay Man that is honestly mark

285
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: so true where Tim Allens. But hey, I've said this

286
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: many times, and granted I am not a professional athlete,

287
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: but there's always like the one old guy at the

288
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: gym who can still get it done. And that's what

289
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: you're hoping for. But it's professional sports and very dangerous,

290
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: which I'm skeptical about. But as far as throwing the ball,

291
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: and people keep asking me the last couple of days,

292
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything that's like, oh my god, why

293
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: did they ever bring him back? That part seems to

294
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: be fine. It's the can you actually go out there

295
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: and do this for fifty plays? And I actually saw

296
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 3: some comments from Rob Gronkowski and he was very skeptical

297
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 3: and critical of a decision, not from like a hater standpoint.

298
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: I get the whole rivalry between the Colts and the Patriots.

299
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: He was just saying, when you haven't done it every

300
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: single day and made this your life every single day,

301
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: it's very hard for you to just jump back into

302
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: it and have your body respond the way you wanted to.

303
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: Because my fear is that he'll get into the game.

304
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: And yet you've tried to simulate all these things, and

305
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: you might try to go do something you once did

306
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: and it just doesn't work like you used to. Like

307
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: you might try to, you know what, a step up

308
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: in the pocket, or you might try to throw a

309
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: you know, an out route or whatever, and you just

310
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: don't have it like you thought you did, especially with

311
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: everyone going at full game speed. One of the players

312
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: I was talking to Seattle Radio yesterday that they were

313
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: saying it's probably champion of the bit at this opportunity

314
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: is Devin Witherspoon, you know, my fellow Illinois colleague or whatever.

315
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: No pun intended there, but those guys, everyone over there

316
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: is like, we're going to have an opportunity to either

317
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: pick off or sack a Hall of Famer.

318
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

319
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 7: And I think one thing too with Rivers, everything has

320
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 7: been controlled. Yeah, what happens in the uncontrolled moment? As

321
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 7: soon as I have all snap on Sunday, it becomes

322
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 7: the first uncontrolled movement he's.

323
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: Had in five years exactly.

324
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 7: And then now Seattle can dictate some stuff to how

325
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 7: you have to react. And I think I don't know

326
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 7: if Gronk was making this point, James, but I am

327
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 7: worried about curious and worried Cardio, Like what happens on

328
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 7: an eight play drive? How does he feel out in

329
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 7: play six or seven of that drive, which again.

330
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: Would be fiteficial for the Colts because you want to

331
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: try to bleed the claws to control.

332
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: If the Colts have any eight play drives, it's probably

333
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: a good thing. But it's more of just how does

334
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: Rivers look?

335
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: You know, in a two minute.

336
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 7: Situation, you know, all the hands on the hips. Is

337
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 7: the velocity waning a little bit as you move along

338
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 7: in a game, in a setting, I mean that is

339
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 7: not the I think it's one of the hardest environments

340
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 7: to play in the entire NFL. And not to mention,

341
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 7: the defense is one of the best in the NFL.

342
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: You guys want a good harbinger for a great comeback

343
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 5: over forty story at.

344
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: The highest level. Did you see this?

345
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: Yesterday?

346
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 5: Forty one year old Lindsey Vaughn won a World Cup

347
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: ski race for the first time since twenty eighteen. Dang,

348
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: I don't know she was still doing forty one years old,

349
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 5: respect but she down You want to talk about dangerous,

350
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 5: this is a downhill. This is going as fast as

351
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: you can down a really steep mountain on the edge.

352
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: Is that a metaphor for Philip Rivers on Sunday in Seattle?

353
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, there's an over forty comeback story right

354
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: now that's finished with an unbelievable success.

355
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: Certainly do better than her ex.

356
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: I will say this, you'd go as far as the

357
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: check engine light for Philip. How early does that thing

358
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: come on? Because boy, to your point about the cardio,

359
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: the age, just the physical nature of the game. If

360
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: you put it in card terms, I'm like, boy, when's

361
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: the last time that oil has been changed? When the

362
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: last time he had the wheels aligned?

363
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: Someone tweeted at me yesterday.

364
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: Tires rotated.

365
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 7: I think it was just clips of him throwing in practice.

366
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: He goes, he looks like a man that needs a

367
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 7: cutoff guy to complete his throws.

368
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: That's probably a good way to put it.

369
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: No, no, But I also think people who don't remember

370
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: him playing. And I say this for like the younger crowd.

371
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: I've got a lot of you know, kids, are like,

372
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: why did you throw it like that? And I'm like,

373
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: that's how he throws. So I don't want to discredit

374
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: INDs like, oh my god, is he haveing to zip

375
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: on it? He always threw it like it all like

376
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: it hurt him to do it, and it was effective.

377
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: That's just how I can describe his throwing motion.

378
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 6: Oh.

379
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: He always tells the story about his first day at

380
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: NC State.

381
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 7: I think it was Norm Chat the offensive coordinator comes

382
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 7: up to him after a few throws and goes, hey,

383
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 7: do you need to go see the doctors?

384
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: Are you hurt? And Philip rivers like, no, I mean this.

385
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 7: Is how I throw because he was recruited to be

386
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 7: a tight end by many colleges, which I've always thought

387
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 7: to myself. Man, I'm watching Philip Rivers operate. I don't

388
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 7: see tight end athleticism in the SEC.

389
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: But maybe that's neither.

390
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: I must say, I'll be hating on my boy. Thanks

391
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: can change throughout the years, Kevin. Are you the same

392
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: athletes you were ten years ago?

393
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: He can still he can still stripe or drive. I've

394
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: seen him hit the ball. Oh, you see him.

395
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 3: You're quite the athlete on that. I A'm gonna lie.

396
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: You see Mooney Ward in the locker room instry.

397
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: I actually did see him, Yes, I saw him in

398
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: the locker room yesterday. I talked to a few of

399
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 3: his teammates. Part of me wanted to go over there,

400
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: but I also want to respect the rules of not

401
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: talking to players who are on I are, and in

402
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: this case in concussion protocol. I've talked to Anthony briefly,

403
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: just saying hey, welcome back and good to see you.

404
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 3: And as I said the other day, I was joking

405
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: with him about both of us needn't get haircuts and

406
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 3: how crazy the week's been. But from Mooney I was

407
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: just happy that we got to see that dude smile

408
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. And he's going through so much, so

409
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: I just want And he's been posting stuff on his Instagram,

410
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: reposting teammates, and I believe the other day he had

411
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: some custom cleats that were for his daughter that he

412
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: had worn in the last game he played. And not

413
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: to read too much into it, but I do wonder

414
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: for him how big of a decision he has to

415
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: make this offseason to look at his life, look at

416
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: what he's accomplished, and look at the game that he loves,

417
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: because I know he loved it to play at this

418
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 3: loved one and made it this far and decide do

419
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: I want to continue this and at what risk or

420
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: what costs. So still good to see him around his teammates,

421
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: because I couldn't imagine that would be the case if

422
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: the symptoms were as severe as they were before with

423
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: the disneyness thrown up and stuff like that.

424
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: All Right, we'll get to some texts throughout the next

425
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 5: hour as well, but great Rakestraw is coming up at

426
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 5: a moment, got Matt Taylor with Taylor's Tidbits at nine o'clock,

427
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: and I think, if nothing else the NFL world. Everyone's

428
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 5: going to tune in it for twenty five to see

429
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 5: what's going to happen. Oh yeah, for sure, everyone is

430
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 5: going to tune in to see how this works out.

431
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: We'll tell you more about it next. As we continue

432
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: on the Fan Morning show, Sun's starting to creep up

433
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: over the horizon there.

434
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: So it's a great to see me now. Yeah, there

435
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: you go. You're just a shadowy figure. Now James is

436
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: acting up into YouTube chat. Man, it's great. Just don't

437
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 2: act up too much. Ninety three five and one O

438
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: seven five.

439
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 5: Let's check in with our next guest, get his take

440
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 5: on a very eventful week of sports. Certainly with the Colts.

441
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: It is the one the only Greg Rerakestraw you will

442
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 5: hear in the postgame show after the contest is over

443
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

444
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: Good morning, Greg Rakestraw.

445
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 5: It is always interesting with these Indianapolis Colts, is it not?

446
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: My friend?

447
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 6: Does that make me Jeff Probes? Then if I'm the postgame.

448
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: Show holding show, that's what you want to be. Yes,

449
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: I know I'm.

450
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 6: Not gonna looking to be Jesse Palmer. Maybe I can

451
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 6: sneak into being Jeff Props.

452
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll go there.

453
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 5: So honestly, what are you thinking when you hear that

454
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: Philip rivers a is a possibility? Then it becomes real

455
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 5: and now we're just I think we all believe he's

456
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: going to be activated.

457
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: From the practice squad. He's going to start on Sunday.

458
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 6: Right. Well, again, I really thought he was the insurance

459
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: policy for Riley Leonard. And given the fact that Leonard

460
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 6: has practiced the last couple of weeks or the last

461
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 6: couple of days, I should say, because obviously the thing

462
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 6: that stuck in my mind was the Adam Schefter report

463
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 6: that said Leonard was weak to week, and obviously that

464
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 6: is code for not playing this week. And then it

465
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 6: was like, all right, if your options are Brett Rippen

466
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 6: or Philip rivers who hasn't thrown a football on a

467
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: competitive game since January of twenty twenty one, still not

468
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 6: a great option, but you go, all right, maybe I

469
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 6: kind of see the logic behind it, because again, I

470
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 6: don't think that Leonard looked that bad last week down

471
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 6: in Jacksonville. So do I think he's going to be activated? Yes,

472
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 6: I'm still not completely sold they're handing him the ball

473
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 6: Sunday at four twenty five.

474
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 7: Ray who gives the Colts the best chance to win

475
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 7: at four to twenty five on Sunday, A full participating

476
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard in practice this week or the forty four

477
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 7: year old Philip Rivers.

478
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 6: I think it's Riley Leonard. And again, is Riley Leonard

479
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: gonna have the career that Philip Rivers had past tense? No,

480
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 6: but he's been with your system and he's twenty years younger.

481
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 6: And again, there are things that you can do to

482
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 6: incorporate him in the run game that you couldn't when

483
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 6: he was your only quarterback in uniform after Daniel Jones

484
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 6: got hurt last week. So to me, that question is

485
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 6: Riley Leonard. Is it going to be easy for him

486
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 6: as a rookie and a first start to do so

487
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 6: in Seattle? Of course not, But again, he's in game

488
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 6: shape and he's been doing this with this team for

489
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: the last five months.

490
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: Rake, I think I'm with you, Actually, I know I'm

491
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: with you on Riley being a better option personally. But

492
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: when you look at the sweat equity that Philip Rivers

493
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: put in with some of these guys the last time

494
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: he was here, how much do you think that could

495
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: help if he is the guy on Sunday, knowing that

496
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 3: he played with Jonathan Taylor, he was in the huddle

497
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 3: with Quentin Nelson, etc. Etc.

498
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 6: He knows the offense, he knows the guys, he knows

499
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 6: the game. You know, we could make a joke there

500
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 6: wasn't exactly a lot of athletic drop off to worry

501
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 6: about at thirty nine. Give it what Philip was as

502
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: a quarterback to where he is now at the age

503
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: of forty four. You just haven't seen that live fire.

504
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 6: There is no way to replicate what NFL speed is.

505
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 6: This isn't the legion of boom defense, but it's trending

506
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 6: in that direction. There's no way to replicate that when

507
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 6: you have not played for five years again, there will

508
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 6: be times a Riley. I think it's going to look

509
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 6: lost on Sunday if it is him, So I acknowledge that.

510
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 6: I just I think for as great of a story

511
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: as this could be, as much as I enjoyed hearing

512
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 6: Philip talk on Wednesday, as much as I would love

513
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 6: to see him succeed, because believe me, that's the greatest

514
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 6: postgame show of all time. If weren't having a conversation

515
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 6: about Philip Rivers leading the Colts to a victory in

516
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 6: Seattle when the dude again to to turn a phrase

517
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 6: hadn't gotten off the couch in fifty nine months. From

518
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: National Football League standpoint, and it is an amazing story.

519
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 6: Roll credits. That's a movie. I just worry about being

520
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 6: a Freddy Krueger horror show if he's out there and

521
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 6: it doesn't go well.

522
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 5: Greg Greg Straw joining us on the Payloft Slickers hotline.

523
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 5: What are the chances we see both quarterbacks play this Sunday?

524
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 6: It is not out of the realm of possibility. You know,

525
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 6: there are two quarterback systems that I've seen it, And

526
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 6: then you saw a couple of weeks ago in high

527
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 6: school football where you have the quote passing quarterback and

528
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 6: the quote running quarterback. I think we know which one

529
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: would be which if both of them play. Could there

530
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 6: be a scenario where Riley Leonard goes in struggles and

531
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 6: you tap Philip on the shoulder and say, all right,

532
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 6: not a kid, go get them. Could that scenario play out? Yes?

533
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 6: Is there a scenario one guy plays and one guy

534
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 6: gets hurt and the other guy has to go in? Yes,

535
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 6: so I think it's possible. I'm not sure you're game

536
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 6: planning that way, but stranger things have happened, like signing

537
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers earlier.

538
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: This week's Boys of Greg Greg Straw.

539
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 7: I believe a busy man on the south Side tomorrow

540
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 7: at Southport and Rake us with this year on the

541
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 7: Payless Slickers hot line, Gray, you watched this man play

542
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 7: a whole lot of basketball and football.

543
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 2: In his high school days.

544
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 7: I love to see the news yesterday that, unfortunately, due

545
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 7: to the Marcus Burton injury for Notre Dame, Mark Zachary

546
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 7: is joining the basketball program. For those that didn't pay attention,

547
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 7: Mark Zachery actually got a decent amount of snaps football

548
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 7: wise as a true freshman for Notre Dame. A lot

549
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 7: due to injuries in the secondary, but he played a

550
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 7: good amount. And now he will join Michael Shrewsbury and company,

551
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 7: and he knows many of those faces on the basketball team.

552
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 7: What were your basketball opinions of Mark Zachary back in

553
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 7: the day he.

554
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 6: Was a high major Division one basketball player. He's not

555
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 6: a pro or a high level pro in basketball like

556
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 6: he was like he is going to be in football.

557
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 6: He is a Sunday player two or three years from now.

558
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 6: So I don't think he's an NBA level talent, But

559
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 6: is he an ACC level guard, Yes, especially from a

560
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 6: defense and rebounding standpoint, because again, the same attributes that

561
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 6: he has in terms of blazing speed from a first

562
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 6: step standpoint, in terms of great movement from a footwork standpoint,

563
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 6: in terms of an extra large wingspan to be able

564
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 6: to not passes away, those things all translate from the

565
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 6: football field to the basketball court. He has to do

566
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 6: some adjusting to get into basketball shape. And the other

567
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 6: element you didn't mention. Part of the reason why him

568
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 6: think this would work is that if Notre Dame's a

569
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 6: college football you know, playoff team or a bowl team,

570
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 6: he's not getting to the basketball court by January now

571
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 6: because they don't make it and they decide to sit

572
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 6: all of a sudden. He's available on December and you

573
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 6: can kind of work with him over Christmas break to

574
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 6: some degree when you get a little bit of a

575
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 6: breather and held him up for the heart of ACC plays.

576
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 6: So there are a few options on a campus when

577
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 6: you need a spare piece available to any program in

578
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 6: the country like Mark Zachery and I think he could

579
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 6: get some playing time for Notre Dame in the very

580
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: near future.

581
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 7: Was that a JAB in Notre Dame not making the

582
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 7: college football Playoff?

583
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 6: That was okay, Yeah it was. It was actually more

584
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 6: of a jab people and going home and then tell

585
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 6: everybody about your memorandum understanding after the fact.

586
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have, they have won too much this week.

587
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: I think they should sue. I think I think you

588
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 3: have to. Once you get dis obnoxious, you got to

589
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: just go all the way in. Take it from a Yes,

590
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm an elite troll, so I just

591
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: go the troll around and just start suing everybody.

592
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 6: But am I offended to the point where I'm going

593
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 6: to turn down free tickets for a game with Kevin

594
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 6: in late January? No, I'm not, But I guess I'm

595
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 6: not mad. I'm just a little disappointed, that's fair. Rake.

596
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: One I have for you, sticking with some of the

597
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: high school scene here is are you calling a game tonight?

598
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: And then can you explain what you got going on tomorrow?

599
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 6: All right? So, yes, I am calling a game tonight.

600
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 6: The absolute whiff of a forecast has allowed things to

601
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: proceed as usual tonight, So I will have Carmel and

602
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 6: Noblesville this evening. Noblesville is one and three, but their

603
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 6: losses are all the top ten teams. And guess who

604
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 6: they play coming up tonight. That would be Carmel who

605
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 6: is led by Evan Harrell and transfer Cash Daniels. You

606
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 6: know Carmel had a good season going last year, Alex

607
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 6: Kudo gets hurt and completely blew up their season. From

608
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 6: mid January on, things are a little bit better, it

609
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 6: looks like for Riot Osborne's team, so that should be

610
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 6: a good win tonight. And then tomorrow is the James

611
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 6: Boyd not yet Memorial Invitational at a place he likes

612
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 6: to hoop at Southport Field House. It is the Superstar

613
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 6: Events tip Off Classic, six games again fingers CROSSWI permitting,

614
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 6: starting at twelve thirty. I will have the call of

615
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 6: the last two on my NDTV twenty three beginning at seven,

616
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 6: which again is Carmel but facing Crown Point. So again

617
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 6: James can drop some region knowledge and everybody insert here,

618
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 6: followed by Fishers and Penn Penn led by Caleb Coolman

619
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: who is one of the top sophomores in the country.

620
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 6: His father Barrick, the head coach at Penn, and again

621
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 6: this is a chance for maybe two of the three

622
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 6: best teams in four A outside of Indianapolis to make

623
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 6: their way down and play indie level competition. So looking

624
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 6: forward to that again. Hopefully the snow holds off tomorrow

625
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 6: where you can get those games in no problem. You

626
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 6: can watch them folks on my NDI TV twenty three. Ray.

627
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: You know it hurt me to be on the road

628
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: tomorrow for this game. You know I would have seen

629
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: you tomorrow for pretty much the entire day, So just

630
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: know that I am jealous of you.

631
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 6: Well, you can watch the games tomorrow. They are on

632
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 6: pay per views, so I might be able to get

633
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 6: your code. If you need some airport viewing while you're traveling,

634
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 6: I think I can hook you up.

635
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: Oh what a guy there. You got a guy that

636
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: is great.

637
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 7: Greatstall on the Payless Slickers hotline, Rake, last one for me.

638
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 7: We restart the series that is Indiana and Kentucky coming

639
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 7: up tomorrow night inside of Rupp. First time since the

640
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 7: watch shot that we have these two teams playing on

641
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 7: a somewhat annual basis, and let's say they did play

642
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 7: annually again, Ray, We had this debate a little bit

643
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 7: earlier in the show. Would Indiana fans rather beat Kentucky

644
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 7: annually or beat Purdue annually.

645
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 6: You're asking the wrong guy because I grew up around

646
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: both fans. I think it is very much a question

647
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 6: of geography. But I have said this for years. I

648
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 6: think one of the things about the Indiana Purdue rivalry

649
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 6: that is different is that generally away from the core

650
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: of the field, we tend to get along. That necessarily

651
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 6: isn't the case between Indiana and Kentucky and having you know,

652
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 6: I don't know a Mason Dixon line a river between

653
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: the two. And again, Jameskin can relate to this being

654
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 6: a region guy for some period of time, he's through

655
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 6: a part of Indiana that do you almost feel get

656
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: detached or different, different state. And it's the same thing

657
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: for me growing up from the Louisville area, where you

658
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: have to you have to deal with like UK fans

659
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 6: that are on your side of the river.

660
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that all we you know, And I.

661
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 6: Complained about that. I was a UFL fan as a

662
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 6: kid because that was the team that was closest to me,

663
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: more so than Bloomington or Lexington. So to me, and

664
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 6: again I have to put an asterisk there because of

665
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: my background, Kentucky was the way bigger rival than Purdue

666
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 6: because that was the group you had to hear about

667
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 6: all of the freaking time. So my opinion might be

668
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: a little bit biased about that table.

669
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: That's okay. We like that.

670
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 5: We like that you grew up in a place where

671
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: you're just throwing rocks across the river. I'm being exaggerating here,

672
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 5: hoping that maybe you just randomly hit a Kentucky player

673
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 5: on the a Kentucky fan on the other side right.

674
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: Something along those lines. I didn't have that level of

675
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 6: armstrength to cross the entire freaking river. But the overall

676
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 6: general thought is there yet.

677
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: Always going to talk to you, buddy. We'll do it

678
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: again soon. Have a great weekend. We'll be watching. Have fun.

679
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 6: Thank you rich. By the way, how are the new digs?

680
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: By the way, we're gett We're getting there. We got

681
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: a lot of work to go.

682
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 5: It's kind of bare bones right now, but we're in

683
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: and it's working and we haven't had any knock on

684
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: wood meltdowns yet.

685
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: So so far, so good. Rake.

686
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: If you got any strobe lights you want to bring

687
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: by the new digs, let your boy know because it's great.

688
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: But it's a little dark in here, and you know,

689
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: I got some melanin in the skin, so it's kind

690
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: of hard to see you boy on the YouTube tree.

691
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 6: So so strobe Light might know we the way to go,

692
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 6: but you do talk to a person and it's in

693
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 6: television production. So I'll think I can bring some studio

694
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 6: lights your way. When I swing by on Sundack, I like.

695
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: This is the greatest human being. You know what, Rake,

696
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: I love you brother.

697
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 6: The feeling is mutual. And this was the ultimate compliment

698
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 6: that Jab paid me last week when I was at

699
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 6: a cult practice. He goes, I think I'm going to

700
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 6: change like the like like Alexa's voice to my voice

701
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 6: when he asked a sports question. So apparently I'm sports

702
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 6: Google to James and by prods of the athletic and

703
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 6: I greatly appreciate.

704
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 5: I think you should keep it for everything you got,

705
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 5: you got like a deep wrap question. All of a sudden,

706
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: Greg Rakestraw is talking back at you from your.

707
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 6: Smart You know, for only nine a month, have me

708
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 6: answer all your sports questions. Here's a nine hundred number

709
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 6: one met it up ready to go by next week.

710
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: I think people put by that a lot. See you, buddy,

711
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: have fun. Greg Reikstraw on the Payless Liquors Hotline.

712
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 5: You talk about somebody who's seen the drama, the melodrama,

713
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 5: the the reality TV show that has been the cults

714
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 5: for his entire life. I can't imagine it's been. I mean,

715
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: think of just all the crazy things that have happened

716
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 5: over the year, but just in the last three four years,

717
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 5: condensing what's happened, it's just it's insane. You can run

718
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: an entire book on this franchise just over the last

719
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 5: four years.

720
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 7: So he is against you, Jeff. He is team Start

721
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard. If your team start Philip Rivers.

722
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, to me, your season's on the line. I don't

723
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: think you.

724
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: Have Oh I know you were team Philip Rivers.

725
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

726
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 5: Again, I'm not like, oh, that's the greatest idea in

727
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: the world, let's go get Philip Rivers. But I look

728
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: at the at the other options that were out there.

729
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 5: They clearly see a guy in Riley Leonard that, as

730
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: you know, Kevin is very athletic, can do something with

731
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 5: his feet played okay in spot duty. It's also one

732
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 5: thing to have teams start to prepare for you and

733
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 5: start to look at a little film on you, and

734
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 5: I don't know there's a ton of film on Riley

735
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 5: Leonard yet to completely solve or whatever.

736
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: I just know he's been with this.

737
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: Team since since OTA's and right now Shane Stiken feels

738
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 5: it appears.

739
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: It appears as if.

740
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 5: Shane Styken feels more comfortable James in giving the ball

741
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: to a forty four year old Philip Rivers, who had

742
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: a tremendous career, knows this offense inside and out.

743
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: And if it doesn't to me, if it.

744
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 5: Doesn't work in the first two, three, four series, and

745
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 5: it's clearly obviously not gonna happen, then you just move on.

746
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: What do you think that will be a disservice to

747
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: your team? If you can tell that early, you should

748
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: have known going into the game. And I'm not saying

749
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: you're wrong on that, Jeff, because you got to adapt

750
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: throughout the game. But if you go into this game

751
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: and Philip Rivers looks god awful for two or three drives,

752
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: do you say Riley Leonard drew up and he hadn't

753
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 3: taken first team snaps in all that all week? That

754
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: is a disservice to him and your team.

755
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 5: I'm not going to disagree with that, but I could

756
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 5: see it plan out that way because it's great on paper.

757
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: I understand the allure of Philip Rivers because of all

758
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 5: the things we've talked about, the intimate knowledge of the offense,

759
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 5: getting your team, and I think Kevin.

760
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: That's why I went back to.

761
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 5: Originally we were talking about the last year of Peyton

762
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 5: Manning and Denver. His superpower on that team was to

763
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 5: not make mistakes, to continually put your team in position

764
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 5: to make the.

765
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: Right reads at the line of scrimmage.

766
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: It's okay, if we only get six yards here, we

767
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 5: only have to score twenty. That's the difference. That Denver

768
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 5: team with Peyton Manning only had to score twenty points

769
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 5: a game because you weren't scoring more than fifteen or

770
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 5: sixteen against that defense.

771
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: The Colts don't have that luxury.

772
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 5: What do you think the chances are that they hold

773
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 5: the Seattle Seahawks to less than twenty points?

774
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 7: Not very high unless Mother Nature Brieos are ugly. Head again,

775
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 7: I am I sit here on Friday morning. You know,

776
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 7: for the last four days I've said to you guys,

777
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 7: I believe Philip Rivers will be the starting quarterback on Sunday.

778
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 7: When I said that earlier in the week, I expected

779
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 7: Riley Leonard to either A not be practicing or B

780
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 7: be limited at practice.

781
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: James, you know this more than anybody.

782
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 7: If a quarterback in the NFL is a full participant

783
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 7: in practice on a Wednesday, let alone on a Thursday.

784
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 7: And again, as we're out there at practice just today,

785
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 7: Ry Leonard's got.

786
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: Nothing on that knee. There's no sleeve, there's no brace, there's.

787
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 7: Nothing that dude plays for you like Trevor Lawrence miss

788
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 7: Wednesday's practice, yeah, for the Jacks. And there's not even

789
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 7: a thought that obviously he's going to start on Sunday.

790
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 7: So that is where I am. That is different from

791
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 7: me than I thought it was. Seventy two ninety six

792
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 7: hours ago. I was under the impression that it was

793
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 7: more of a Riley Leonard is banged up, so we

794
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 7: are calling Philip Rivers, Whereas now I've come to know no, no, no,

795
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 7: Shane Siken just thinks that Philip Rivers is the better

796
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 7: option than Riley Leonard.

797
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 6: Period.

798
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: It's not due to Riley's health.

799
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 3: You know what that means, Kevin Riley has youth on

800
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: his side. Sunday night, boy, that knees sore. And then

801
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: you remember he was twenty three.

802
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Riley Lender should have never said he was hurt.

803
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 3: And by Wednesday he's like, oh you know what again,

804
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 3: I'm twenty three. I feel pretty good.

805
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 7: I say that in all seriousness, Ryley lendershuld have never

806
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 7: told the staff he was hurt.

807
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, or else he'd be starting on Sunday.

808
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, in hindsight, but at the time, Hey, man, my

809
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 3: knees hurt. Can you help me out here your little

810
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 3: you know, massage or something on this thing.

811
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 5: I'm pretty pretty sure that Ridley Leonard, nowhere in his

812
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 5: mind was like, Hey, I'm gonna tell that my knee

813
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 5: is sore.

814
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna go get Philip Rivers. They're gonna go get

815
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: my mentor.

816
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 7: I think that's the other part of it. I don't

817
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 7: know if fans fully realize. I don't know what the

818
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 7: good analogy is, but like you know, for anyone out

819
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 7: there that has had a mentor in their life or

820
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 7: the teacher pupil situation, that's what's going on right here.

821
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 7: The man that helped Ridley Leonard in the draft process

822
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 7: is now taking.

823
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: His job on Sunday.

824
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, which is that's another wrinkled like Rydleer, Leonard's one

825
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 7: of the nicer individuals, and Wednesday James that man was

826
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 7: pissed but did it in a very politically correct way

827
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 7: in expressing that. The first word he used when asked

828
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 7: about Philip Rivers joining the team was it's weird. That's

829
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 7: like one of the nicer ways to say.

830
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm not happy.

831
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: It's just as crazy to me as it is to anybody.

832
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's cool, that's what he said.

833
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: I want to point this out.

834
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 5: Chris texted us and said, Jeff, you're are you serious?

835
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 5: Do you think Philip Rivers is a better choice at

836
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 5: this point?

837
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: Who cares?

838
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 5: If we make the playoffs, We're going to get boat

839
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 5: raced in the wild card round. I think the majority

840
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 5: of the people fans would rather not go to the

841
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 5: playoffs than be one and done and embarrassed. There's a

842
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 5: couple of things to address. So the first one is

843
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 5: there is no better choice, Kevin. When I say there is.

844
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 3: No better choice between the two of them, I'm.

845
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 5: Not excited about either team either guy, in terms of

846
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 5: whether or not you're gonna go into Seattle and get

847
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 5: a win, whether it's Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers. To

848
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 5: your point, I think this is as much about let's

849
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: try to shock this team, get some juice into this team,

850
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 5: see if something can wake them up. Because again, before

851
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: we had a sore knee, this team had lost four

852
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 5: and five.

853
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 3: There is a better choice than the guy being forty

854
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 3: four and coming off of a five year hiatus. I

855
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: do think that is a fair statement.

856
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: But I don't think either one of them are a

857
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: better choice, is my point. I'm gonna go back to Sunday.

858
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 7: If Jonathan Taylor is not calling the football up and

859
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 7: your defense gives you a little bit more, Riley Leonard

860
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 7: has put you in a position to potentially win that.

861
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Game, right, right, wrong?

862
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: No, No, you are right.

863
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 7: I mean, like, it wasn't Riley Leonard's fault that that

864
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 7: that score led to be whatever the final was, thirty

865
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 7: six nineteen.

866
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,479
Speaker 2: He played fine, and.

867
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: I thought he actually had a couple of plays that.

868
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 7: Different call different Pittman the past interference penalty, Pierce on

869
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 7: the touchdown.

870
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 3: Fifty interception, Like I feel bad writing that that was

871
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 3: an interception exactly.

872
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we went over that early on weekend.

873
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 3: Again, this isn't something Homer take. I mean, we've been

874
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,959
Speaker 3: critical of Riley and his limitations. But yeah, I've.

875
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 7: Probably been the most critical people Like I feel like

876
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 7: in the media room, James look at me oftentimes to

877
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 7: ask about it, and everyone's like, wait, Kevin, you don't

878
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 7: think he's very good, right, I'm like, he is not

879
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 7: ready to be an NFL pocket passer quarterback. But given

880
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 7: this situation comparing him to Philip Rivers, and he's healthy.

881
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 7: Right again, That's what I didn't think earlier in the week.

882
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: I get the other element because he's healthy. Of the

883
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: extend plays right, tuck and run RPO. You're not running

884
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: a run pass option with Philip Rivers. Who's gonna fall

885
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: for him keeping the ball? Nobody?

886
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't even are you able to

887
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 2: run a bootleg?

888
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 3: That's actually very fair question.

889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out. By the way it looks.

890
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: The pictures of Philip Rivers hilarious.

891
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, he looks more Jared lorenzen than did

892
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 7: you see. I mean again, I think Jim Jim Allen,

893
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 7: Savan Christmas is as far as I'm gonna go. That

894
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 7: looks Jared Lorenzeny. They listed his speed at fifty nine

895
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 7: on Madden.

896
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: There should be lower.

897
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that, is that the lowest generous? Right?

898
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 2: I'm not a Madden player. I love Caleb, Are you

899
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: a Madden Guy's fifty nine to the lowest?

900
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 4: It's it's pretty close. I mean usually I think it's

901
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 4: in the forty range. So they actually might be giving

902
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 4: him a little benefit of the doubt here, but they should.

903
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 3: Have made it his age forty four.

904
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 6: I like that.

905
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 5: We'll see what happens on Sunday when it comes to watching.

906
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: Certainly the entire National Football League and most fans are

907
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 5: gonna be interesting to see what happens with the Colts

908
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: when they start forty if I should say, if they

909
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 5: start forty four year old Philip Rivers quarterback on Sunday

910
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 5: against the Seattle Seahawks. Here to tell us a little

911
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 5: bit more about that from his perspective, and of course

912
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 5: take us way deep into the matchup with Taylor's tidbits,

913
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 5: the one, the only, the voice of the Indianapolis Colts,

914
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 5: Matt Taylor, Matt, how you doing today?

915
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 6: Good morning guys. Right now, just chilling with a couple

916
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 6: of kids. We've got a two hour delay, so kind

917
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 6: of hanging out, kind of you know, just chilling this morning,

918
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 6: and then as soon as I hop off with you

919
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 6: guys taking to school and have a nice little abbreviated

920
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 6: Friday going into the weekend. As a kid, nothing better

921
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 6: than a two hour delay on a Friday. It's got

922
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 6: to be the best sweet spot.

923
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: There is quick question because I'm not I don't remember

924
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 3: having delays when I was coming up in school.

925
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 2: Is that new?

926
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: Or has this? How what's happened? Because I feel like

927
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: if you do have to lay about two hours, you

928
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 3: have to stay longer. How does that work?

929
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 6: No, it's the greatest thing, James. I mean, it counts, baby.

930
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 6: It's like playing six and then you get a you know,

931
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 6: six innings, you get that full game.

932
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I gotcha, I got you.

933
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 2: What a great will ball? Now that is? Now I

934
00:41:58,880 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: got it.

935
00:41:59,280 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 3: Okay.

936
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 6: It's like when the rain the rain comes in into

937
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 6: sixth inning. It's an official game, and you got runners

938
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 6: on base and you get them in and you go home.

939
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 6: That's what it is. So, yeah, they're gonna they're gonna

940
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 6: get into school about you know, a little bit before ten,

941
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 6: have lunch, do specials, maybe do a math quiz or

942
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 6: a spelling bee, and then they're gonna be home and

943
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 6: ready to go for a movie night on Friday.

944
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: Brother, Yeah, good multitasking for Matt Taylor.

945
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 7: Here sounds like a south side did get a little

946
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 7: bit more snow and some slick actions. So you haven't

947
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 7: been out yet today. Keep an eye on that, Matt, Tell,

948
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 7: let's start here. Your favorite twenty twenty memory of Philip Rivers.

949
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately I don't have too many of them because

950
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 6: we never did anything face to face. You know, I

951
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 6: thought it was a great line. He came in and

952
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 6: just on Wednesday to the press conference and walked in

953
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 6: and you know, he killed it. He said, good to

954
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 6: see everybody. We're not doing this on zoom right because

955
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 6: the world was shut down in twenty twenty and everything

956
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 6: was virtual, so I really didn't have to be honest

957
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 6: with didn't have any you know, one on one interactions

958
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 6: with him face to face, which was really disappointing, you know,

959
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 6: because he's just a legend. He's Philip Rivers. I mean,

960
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 6: he's just a legendary figure and has a legendary personality.

961
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 6: So it was cool for me. I think of whatever

962
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 6: day it was, it's all kind of a blurn now.

963
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 6: But it went up to him in the locker room,

964
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 6: shook his hand and he's like, yeah, I know who

965
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 6: you are, and you know it. Yeah, it was good

966
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 6: to do things. Good to hear your voice again. But obviously,

967
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 6: you know, meeting each other face to face for the

968
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 6: first time was pretty special. But as relates to on

969
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 6: the field, you know, I just have so many great

970
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 6: memories of calling his games. You know, in twenty twenty,

971
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 6: you know, had that big win against the detroit you know,

972
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 6: big win against the Raiders. You know, I just he

973
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 6: was just such a master of being able to like

974
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 6: shuffle in and out of the pocket and get the

975
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 6: ball out quick. Those those were the biggest memories I

976
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 6: have of that twenty twenty season. And then the most

977
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 6: disappointing memory was just that Buffalo game when the Colts,

978
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 6: you know, one time of possession, won the turnover battle,

979
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 6: had more yards, and still lost. So I think that

980
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 6: was a little bit of a sour taste in the

981
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 6: mouth of Philip Rivers, not only for you know, the

982
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 6: way the season ended, but you know how his career

983
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 6: ended up until this point. So excited to see, just

984
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 6: like everybody else, you know, what what happens today, what

985
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 6: Shane Siken says later on this afternoon about the status

986
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 6: of quarterback and if he's indeed activated off the practice

987
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 6: squad and has a chance to start on Sunday. Man,

988
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 6: this is this is the story of the NFL.

989
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Right now, Caylor, should we cue up the music?

990
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 6: Here?

991
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 7: Is it time for a little Taylor's tidbits.

992
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 8: Let's dive into the nitty gritty.

993
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: I never knew that.

994
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 8: Grab a seed and take notes their storylines all over

995
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 8: the upcoming game. Clark say, it's time for Taylor's tidbits.

996
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 6: All right, let's see how we can do today. I

997
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 6: got rapid fire. Let's talk about the Seahawks first, right,

998
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 6: we kind of forget about the task in hand, the

999
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 6: opposition on Sunday with Philip Rivers dominating headlines, but the

1000
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 6: Seahawks incredibly balanced teams. Seattle and the Rams the only

1001
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 6: teams to rank top five this year in both scoring

1002
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 6: offense and scoring defense. Seattle could become the fourth team

1003
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 6: over the last thirty years to finish with a top

1004
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 6: two scoring offense and a top two scoring defense in

1005
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 6: the same season. By the way, the two thousand and

1006
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 6: five Colts are on that list as well. But at times,

1007
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 6: I mean Seattle just looks like the most complete team

1008
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 6: in the NFL because they have a really explosive offense

1009
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 6: that's backed up by one of the best defense it's

1010
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 6: in franchise history, maybe the best defense they've had since

1011
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 6: those Legion of Boom days in Seattle. On top of that,

1012
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 6: Seattle leads the NFL in yards per past attempt on

1013
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 6: offense at eight point nine with Sam Darnold, and they

1014
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 6: lead the NFL and yards per past attempt on defense

1015
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 6: at just six point one. So for those that don't

1016
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 6: understand that, they lead the NFL and passing plays big

1017
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 6: passing plays on offense and they're limiting big passing plays

1018
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 6: on defense. No team has finished the season leading the

1019
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 6: NFL and both of those categories since the then Washington

1020
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 6: squad in nineteen ninety one. All right, next up, I

1021
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 6: want to talk about big plays on defense. As I said,

1022
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 6: a huge part of Sam Darnold's resurgence the last two

1023
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 6: years is his big play, big passing playability in the

1024
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 6: aerial attack. This year, he's got twenty nine completions over

1025
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 6: twenty five yards, and he leads the NFL and big

1026
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 6: passing plays since the start of last year when he

1027
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 6: took over as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings, again

1028
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 6: leading the NFL eight point nine yards per attempt. But

1029
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 6: they've got two big playmakers and Jackson Smith and Jikba

1030
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 6: and also Rashid Shaheed. And I don't have to tell you, guys,

1031
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 6: the last time Shahid played the Colts, whoa boy re

1032
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 6: catches one hundred and fifty yards. He averaged over fifty

1033
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 6: yards per catching that game in twenty twenty three with

1034
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 6: the Saints. I think he's still running and that's killing

1035
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 6: the Colts lately. In the last three games, the Colts

1036
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 6: have allowed twenty two passing plays over fifteen yards and

1037
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 6: they only have six stacks in the last three games.

1038
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 6: But even that's kind of skewed because they put up

1039
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 6: a goose egg against the Jaguars last Sunday. All right, lastly,

1040
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 6: I want to talk about the running game for Seattle.

1041
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 6: On defense, they have gone twenty two consecutive games without

1042
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 6: allowing a one hundred yard rusher, which is the longest

1043
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 6: current streak in the NFL. Jean Robinson came close. He

1044
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 6: had eighty six yards, but it took him twenty carries

1045
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 6: to get there. But Jonathan Taylor, he's got to get

1046
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 6: going somehow, some way that got establish him for some

1047
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 6: sort of substantial game on Sunday. He's averaging sixty five

1048
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 6: and a half rushing yards per game during the colts

1049
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 6: four losses back to Week nine. That is fifty six

1050
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 6: yards fewer than all of his other games this season.

1051
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 6: And then the most difficult part about the last four

1052
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 6: games of the season is just who the Colts played. Right,

1053
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 6: They play Seattle, San Francisco hop back in the Division,

1054
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 6: and play Jacksonville and Houston. Those four teams are a

1055
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 6: combined thirty six and sixteen this season, and the Colts,

1056
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 6: like we've been talking about, they might be trying to

1057
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 6: do it with a forty four year old quarterback in

1058
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers. Rivers would become the fourth different player to

1059
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 6: take a snap this year for the Colts. If he

1060
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 6: does play, or if he does start, and Riley Leonard

1061
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 6: would he would trigger this milestone as well. But Rivers

1062
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 6: or Leonard, they would become the fourth different player to

1063
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 6: take a snap this year for the Colts at quarterback,

1064
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 6: marking the first time since twenty fifteen the Colts had

1065
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 6: four different players take a snap in a seat than

1066
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 6: Kevin Bowen can you name the quarterbacks in twenty fifteen

1067
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 6: that the Colts used that year. I'll give you Andrew

1068
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 6: luck In, Matt hasselback. Where else you going with that? Back?

1069
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: Freeman and Linley?

1070
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 6: Correct? And there's one other one, Whitehurst. Charlie Whitehurst, baby,

1071
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 6: well done, clipboard.

1072
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: Jesus he dated Jewell?

1073
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 6: Right?

1074
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 2: Does he still date?

1075
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 6: I don't listen. I'm not on top of that TMZ stuff. Right,

1076
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 6: So Charlie Whitehurst tipping the calf to you, brother, wherever

1077
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 6: you are, he is living, living large. But Rivers would

1078
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 6: become the third oldest quarterback in NFL history to start

1079
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 6: a regular season game on Sunday if it comes to fruition.

1080
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 6: Oldest starting quarterback ever Tom Brady's forty five. The second

1081
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 6: oldest starting quarterback Steve de Berg. He was forty four

1082
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 6: years old two hundred and seventy nine days when he

1083
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 6: started the final game of his career playing for the

1084
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 6: Falcons in nineteen ninety eight. And one last one that

1085
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 6: I'll leave you with. Base on my research, and this

1086
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 6: is this is the lowest I could dig on this.

1087
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers, based on what I could find, would join

1088
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 6: only Brett Farr as grandfathers to play in the NFL

1089
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 6: back in twenty ten with the Vikings. Brett barv had

1090
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 6: a twenty one year old daughter who gave first that season, So.

1091
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: Boy, oh boy.

1092
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 6: Storylines abound with the NADEN five team desperate to get

1093
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 6: a win, trying to get back in the playoff Picture

1094
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 6: ten and three Seattle, you know, fierce defense and possible

1095
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 6: forty four year old quarterback who hasn't played in fifty

1096
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 6: nine months, eighteen hundred days, possibly under center. That is

1097
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 6: why the NFL in sports is the greatest reality TV going.

1098
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 6: All right, I don't care about half Wives, I don't

1099
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 6: care about Survivor or Big Brother. This is where it's at.

1100
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 3: That was awesome. So I will say this, Matt Taylor,

1101
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 3: that might have been. That was awesome. And I will

1102
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: say when you were talking about the whole grandpa thing,

1103
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 3: I just pictured him in a room like you know

1104
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 3: the detective shows, and he's like doing the family tree

1105
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 3: and has all that the red string going from this

1106
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 3: to this to this to this to this and xing out. Guys, Nope,

1107
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: not close enough. He got he was a grandfather. After

1108
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,280
Speaker 3: you got done playing.

1109
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 7: Two whiteboards, right, Antonio Cromarti's family tree there to make

1110
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 7: sure he wasn't a grandpa at any point there. Matt Taylor,

1111
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 7: what does a Phil Rivers blueprint look like to victory?

1112
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 7: What does a Colts win with Phil Rivers under center

1113
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 7: look like?

1114
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 6: Well, if you mean it's all to me, it's all

1115
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 6: about schedule, staying on schedule. No third and long. You

1116
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 6: know you can't obviously, you can't turn it over. And

1117
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 6: obviously that sounds really you know, uh, you know, big

1118
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 6: picture and you know, mister obvious stuff. But I mean

1119
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 6: in a game like this, when Seattle is so good

1120
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 6: at taking the football away. I think they're top five

1121
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 6: in sacks as well. I mean their defensive line maybe

1122
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 6: one of the best in the league with Leonard Williams,

1123
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 6: and they still have you know, DeMarcus Lawrence, you know

1124
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 6: over the age of thirty getting it done. Rivers has

1125
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 6: to take good care of the football, get the ball

1126
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 6: out quick, and stay on schedule. You know what I mean.

1127
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 6: There's a world of difference between third and four in

1128
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 6: less in this game compared to third and six or longer.

1129
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 6: And I think that's what it all boils down to

1130
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 6: with Philip Rivers is just mastering this playbook, mastering what

1131
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 6: the Seattle Seahawks are trying to give him on defense,

1132
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 6: and you know, Shane Stiken said it the other day.

1133
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 6: I mean, Philip Rivers, you know, he's going to come

1134
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 6: in looking like the same guy on Sunday potentially that

1135
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 6: he's looked like on Wednesday and Thursday and practice. But

1136
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 6: you know, regular season NFL conditioning for a quarterback who's

1137
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 6: forty four years old just means you got to have

1138
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 6: that feel for the pocket, right. You have to have

1139
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 6: like that sixth sense of knowing when to get rid

1140
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 6: of the football, knowing when pressure is behind you, you know,

1141
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 6: knowing that that then when that internal clock kind of

1142
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 6: winds down on you. You know, those are things that

1143
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 6: I think just sort of kind of stay with you,

1144
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 6: but you never really know when you haven't played. And

1145
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 6: five years in your last game is what January ninth

1146
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 6: of twenty twenty one, So we'll see how quickly those

1147
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 6: things come back to Philip Rivers in real time. But

1148
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 6: those are the things I'm watching out for. Is just

1149
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 6: third and short and when you have a chance to

1150
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 6: capitalize in the red zone, you gotta do it against

1151
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 6: this team because you never know how many opportunities you're

1152
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 6: going to get down there with a chance to score

1153
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 6: in the end zone against the Seattle defense.

1154
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to.

1155
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 5: Put the focus back on the Colts defense a little

1156
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 5: bit too. I know you've talked a little bit about it,

1157
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 5: but you know, how are they going to keep this

1158
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 5: this Colts offense in the game and give them a

1159
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 5: chance to win? Because I'm worried about that secondary against

1160
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 5: against what the Seahawks have been thrown out there lately.

1161
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's again, probably the biggest theme defensively this year

1162
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 6: is just the unfortunate ability of lou An Arumo to

1163
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 6: play with a full deck of cards. I mean, that

1164
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 6: secondary unit has just been snaked bit from from day

1165
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 6: one with you know, injuries and preseason and training camp

1166
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 6: and you know, the Wallly injury, and then you know,

1167
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 6: you bring in you know, guys off the street like

1168
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 6: Xavier and Howard that doesn't work and he has to retire,

1169
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 6: and to our various ward and out on the lineup,

1170
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 6: and Kenny Moore Dell with a calf injury, and now

1171
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 6: you're playing maybe the best receiver in the game and

1172
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 6: Jackson Smith and Jigbu and you don't have Sauce Gardner

1173
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 6: or Tarvarius Ward in this game, and you're not gonna

1174
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 6: have Ward the rest of the season on ir and

1175
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 6: his future, you know, just because of his you know,

1176
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 6: overall health is just very much in question, and rightfully,

1177
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 6: so that's not it's not a criticism. It's says, you've

1178
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 6: got to do right by you and you've had three

1179
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 6: concussions over the course of you know, three and a

1180
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 6: half months, So that changes to me. And I've been

1181
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 6: on record saying this. I think Makai Blackman and Jalen

1182
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 6: Jones are really good players, but they're not They don't

1183
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 6: have the resumes of Ward and Gardener. So to me,

1184
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 6: it doesn't change their ability to play press man to

1185
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 6: man and you know, possibly shadow guys like you know,

1186
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 6: Rashid Shaheed and Jackson Smith and Jigbu. It just changes

1187
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 6: their willingness to do it what is best for the team.

1188
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 6: You know. I can those guys hold up over the

1189
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 6: course of sixty minutes playing primarily man to man on

1190
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 6: the outside. So they got to mix it up, and

1191
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 6: I know they will. But the reality is if they

1192
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 6: just sit back and play, you know, strictly zoned, and

1193
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a long day with Darnold and you

1194
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 6: know that receiving core that they have it can make

1195
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 6: life on the Colts pretty tough.

1196
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, thanks as always for stopping by.

1197
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 5: You always brighten up the day and give us a

1198
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 5: lot of info and a reason to believe. And I'm

1199
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 5: ready to go. I'm all in on how the Colts

1200
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 5: get this thing done. Curious to see how what's gonna happen,

1201
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 5: But I'm all in.

1202
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be fun. And

1203
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 6: just remember this, boys, I'll leave you with this. There's

1204
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 6: two types of people in this world. There are chargers

1205
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 6: and drainers. Which one are you gonna be today? If

1206
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 6: you're listening out there, what are you gonna be today?

1207
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 6: On a dark, dreary, overcast, snowy winter day. You can

1208
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 6: either bring some life and some juice and happiness into

1209
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 6: the world or you can walk into a room and

1210
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 6: suck it out. You have a conscious choice to make

1211
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 6: uplift people, give compliments. Let's all have a great.

1212
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: Day, man.

1213
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 3: I want to be a charge with Philip river Roy.

1214
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: I don't know, Come and let's go.

1215
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 7: We booked Joel ostein here for the nine o'clock segment

1216
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 7: on a Friday.

1217
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 5: Closest thing I felt to real life for Rest speech

1218
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 5: from Miracle.

1219
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 2: Right, let's go.

1220
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 3: I can do anything. I can fly out of here.

1221
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 2: Now here we go.

1222
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 5: Hey, one quick question, one quick question of the way out.

1223
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 5: How many touches do you think Tyler Warren needs to

1224
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 5: get for this team to be able to move the

1225
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 5: ball on Sunday.

1226
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 6: Well, he needs to have more than thirty seven yards receiving,

1227
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 6: which is his combination in the last two games. I

1228
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 6: can tell you that. So Philip Rivers historically loves himself

1229
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 6: some backs, and he loves himself some tight ends, and

1230
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 6: that goes with just that three step drop, quick release,

1231
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 6: knowing where everybody's supposed to be, get the ball out

1232
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 6: quick to your playmakers, and stay on schedule. So I'm

1233
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 6: glad you brought that up. Tyler Warren and potentially Jonathan

1234
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 6: Taylor out of the backfield could be very instrumental for

1235
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 6: the Colts on Sunday and offense.

1236
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, we'll talk to you soon.

1237
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 6: Al Right, guys, be well

1238
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 2: There you go.
