1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,960 Speaker 1: And we are back. 2 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 2: It is another edition of Colts Corner with myself, Kevin 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 2: Bow and Eddie Garrison is across the way. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: We record this on arguably the worst day of the year, 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: April Fool's Day. 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: I promise no jokes coming here on this podcast, recapping 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: league owners meetings that just wrapped up out there in Arizona, 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: and then Eddie, we kind of reached this lull a 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: bit in the NFL offseason, you know, the first couple 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: weeks of April, especially when you don't have a new 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: coach that can start the off season program earlier, it's 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: a bit quiet. So the Colts won't start their off 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: season program for two and a half weeks April twentieth, 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: start on that, and then the drafts what three weeks 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: from tomorrow, So that's alright, I think it is. Yeah, 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: And obviously the Colts probably more attention on Friday of 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: the draft than it will be on Thursday. 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: So how are you on this Wednesday morning doing? 19 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: Well? I'm in a big March madness pool. It's got 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: like one hundred and fifty people slash entries in it, 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: sitting in second. Hey, now, if Arizona just wins against Michigan, 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: I win in the pool. 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Look at that. That's it. That's all you need. 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: That's all I need. Yeah, you have. 25 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: To have that. 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: It sounds like you need a little obviously, if your 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: second first place is done? 28 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: Is that is this right? 29 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: First place? 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: Have Michigan? First place is done? First place has duke? 31 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, all right, okay, Well good luck to 32 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: you on that. I my bracket is horrific, but I 33 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: have Arizona win at all. So you and I the 34 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: same thought process. 35 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: I don't know if I should feel confident or if 36 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: I should feel worried. 37 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: Only think I'm worse at picking a bracket is fantasy football? 38 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 3: Really? I thought you did pretty well in the Kevin 39 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: Kevin Owens Pod League this year. 40 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: Man, I just can't win. 41 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 3: I just want to win. You're like Chris Ballard. 42 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: Well yeah, yeah, that's probably an apt comparison, that sitting 43 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: and Chris Baward. That's well where we will begin our 44 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: our focus out there, and again shout out first off 45 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: to James Boyd, Jula, Eric's and Stephen Holder, the Colt's crew, 46 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: JJ Sankowitz, lair Overton, you know being out at the 47 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: league and owners meetings that flip flosoiteen Florida and Arizona 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: every year. 49 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: It's just great access. You know, it's the only event all. 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: Year where your owner, your GM, and your head coach talk. Now, 51 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: it's pretty casual settings. You won't get super formal, you know, 52 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: at podiums, but I think it's just great access. So, 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of what we're going to say 54 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: obviously comes from stuff that we've read or watched with 55 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: those people. When we get to Carl Ersa Gordon Eddie, 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: I do want to get your thoughts on a clip, 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 2: she said, And honestly, I need your thoughts more from 58 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: a listening comprehension something she mentioned earlier this week that 59 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: I'm a little torn on kind of like how to 60 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: view it. So I'm interested to hear what you've got 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: to say on that, and obviously will do Twitter questions 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: as well. 63 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Let's start with. 64 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Ballard, and you know, I think his words kind of 65 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: validated what I've been saying for the last couple of 66 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: weeks in regards to the Colts off season approach. They 67 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: put tons of eggs into the Trey Hendrickson basket, and 68 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: when that basket fell, they decided to opt for quantity. 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Really over quality. 70 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: And if you want to go back to the Hendrickson 71 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: debate we had a few weeks ago, this to me 72 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: is less rooted in Trey Hendrickson per se than it 73 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: is just coming back to the draft history at that position. Now, 74 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: I do think part of free agency is to at 75 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: times band aid a draft missus. And so you know, 76 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: that would probably be the one looming question that I 77 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: do have. And honestly, Eddie, as we sit here on 78 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: the first of May or first of April, to me, 79 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: when we get to that indispensable Colts podlist, or when 80 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: we get to July and we start to say, hey, 81 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: who are the Colts that need to have big seasons? 82 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Et cetera, et cetera. 83 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 2: Outside of Daniel Jones being the obvious quarterback, there is 84 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: no player on the football team that I will put 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: second on that list that's not named Lao Tu Latsu. 86 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: I think he is the most important non Daniel Jones 87 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: cult player for the twenty twenty sixth season. And I 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: understand there are people out there that say, uh, Nope, 89 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: it's Sauce Gardner, Nope, it's you know whatever, Bernard Ryman, 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: It's Jonathan Taylor, it's Alec Pierce. To me, it is 91 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: Laotu la too. And I think this offseason has just 92 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: really further confirmed how they've operated when it comes to that. 93 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: You know, going back to linebacker, he didn't mention there, 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not afraid to go young, which certainly 95 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: you know, credit's a ballard. 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: They have gone young there and they've hit quite often. 97 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: Now it wasn't a previous regime also well, and I 98 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: think that's where I do have a question. 99 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: You know, this is not Matt Eberflusus, is not Gus Bradley, 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 2: this is Louis an Arumo. One thing we've learned about 101 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: Lou is maybe the affinity or the willingness to play 102 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: young guys is maybe not as there. 103 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: So you know, how does that look? 104 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: Go back to the Zira Franklin, you know, conversation he 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 2: had with Jim Rome, and we reacted to some of 106 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: that on the podcast about Zayre, who I think is 107 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: a really cerebral player, was very honest about the difficulty 108 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: in the scheme and and and you know some of the. 109 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, just some of. 110 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: The exotic, week to week diverse nature that they do 111 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: have there. So you know, I kind of view linebacker 112 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: again right now, like Keem Davis Gaither, Jalen Carlis, And 113 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: then again do used how early do you go linebacker? 114 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: Because Baller did mention out there he likes the draft class. 115 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: He thinks there are some good ones. He also thinks 116 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: it's good in the back part of that draft. 117 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: How much did you read into that? 118 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: He also said that they're like Jalen Carliles, Jalen Carlis 119 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: too right. 120 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: So you know, I think on paper, Eddie, if we 121 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: were doing and we'll probably do our positional mock draft 122 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: here soon, you would put linebacker very high. Some might 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: even put want that's the most important position on need. 124 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: But again, in Ballard's eyes, is it in that same category? 125 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: Should mention that. 126 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell, the Vikings head coach, had a comment where, 127 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's the expectation for them as Jonathan Gnard 128 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: will be back with the Vikings. You know, that was 129 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: a name that had been kind of rumored as a 130 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: trade candidate, and you know, obviously that's not the end 131 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: all be all, but for those kind of holding out 132 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: hope here in the next few weeks that the. 133 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: Colts had maybe trade a pick for a notable rusher 134 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like that as something that is necessarily on 135 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: the horizon. So I guess anything there, Eddie d line linebacker. 136 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: There's a couple more ballad things I want to get to, 137 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: but I'll just kind of pause there. 138 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: And it almost just sounds like they were content and 139 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: feel like they accomplished what they wanted to accomplish. And 140 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: to me, they didn't accomplish anything other than bringing back 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: Alec and Daniel Jones. And if that's what you want 142 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: to say all you wanted to accomplish, then what the 143 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: heck was that messaging? Just what a month or two 144 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: ago about you know, having to make the right moves 145 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: and going all in to compete in How does this 146 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: back up the line of questioning of do you still 147 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: have your juju? 148 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Right? I think that's really well said, to be honest 149 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: with you, I've heard Rick von Terry say this before 150 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: that you know he's a big believer in the depth 151 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: of your roster. It only matters so much, you know, 152 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: when you start to compare thirty two roster depths. 153 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: Around the league. 154 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: There's not a lot of variance in that He uses 155 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: the car analogy of changing the oil. You know, it's 156 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: one thing to change your oil, it's another to change 157 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: your engine. 158 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And so I. 159 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: Think to use that analogy, Eddie, yes, I would agree, 160 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: Like really, I feel like, what have they done that's 161 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: different from twenty twenty five? I would argue, really, all they've. 162 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Done is change the oil. And some might even question that. 163 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: You know, if you want to play this game, I 164 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: posted something I want to say, buy theefan dot com Eddie, 165 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: where they've lost. 166 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: I think it's five starters that have started over three 167 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty games in their Colt's career. 168 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: That's that's a big, big number. That's that's a very 169 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: like for those that say Chris Boward is running it back, 170 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: I would actually say that's not accurate. He's not running 171 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: it back because he's lost a lot of notable starters. 172 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 3: I guess that's true. Yeah, you know, Like I. 173 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: Guess you could say they're running it back from an 174 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: outside of the building. 175 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: Who are the new starters? 176 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I could listen to that, but they're not 177 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: really running it back from like a this is our 178 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: starting twenty two last year, this is our starting twenty 179 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: two this year. But yeah, I you know, three weeks 180 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: into it, you and I are singing from the same 181 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: Hymnal right, there, are you a good singer? 182 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: No? Are you? 183 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything I do worse. The 184 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: things I do. 185 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 2: Worse than sing are probably handwriting. Yeah, handwriting and singing. 186 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: I think those are the two things I do. I 187 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: don't I don't know there's anybody in the world that 188 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: doesn't worse than I do. Uh. 189 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 3: Can I give you a piece of advice as a parent? 190 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah, sure, Can you and Maddie make sure 191 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: you do your part and make sure that Max, Nelly 192 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: and Rosie learn how to write, because I've seen some 193 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: writings from high schoolers. Oh, and uh, it's it's it's 194 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: very like are you. 195 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: Talking like the look of the handwriting? 196 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: Are you talking penmanship, grammar, spelling, all of it? Okay, 197 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: it's very concerning. 198 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: Got it? Okay? Okay? Noted? Noted? 199 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: Yes, I don't care how you you know, behave, I 200 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: don't care how you say please and thank you. 201 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: We need to be proper penmanship. 202 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. I'm glad you got it. I'm glad you 203 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: get it. 204 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to listen to their mind on that. 205 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: What else did you want to hit on with balor? 206 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: There a couple of things, you know, Eddie, let me 207 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: throw it at him. 208 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: It's May twentieth, Okay, I say twenty five percent chance 209 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 2: Anthony and Richardson is on the roster. You would say, 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: what May twentieth over under twenty. 211 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: Five percent chance, I would still go under. 212 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they kind of left the door open. 213 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: I don't if we could go down the Richardson path 214 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: through just a second here, I thought they would trade 215 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: him because they need every penny. 216 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,479 Speaker 1: They don't need every penny anymore. Look at their caps face, Eddie. 217 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: They have plenty of it and they don't need to 218 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: even save whatever it is a handful of million of 219 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: dollars for the sixteenth overall pick. You know you don't 220 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: have to. Hey, there's a line item in there, a 221 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: round one draft pick for cap space. 222 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: Like you don't have that line item in there. So 223 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: I my thought. 224 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: With Hey, I think some pillar colts will be gone. 225 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: You know, when we have discussion back in February, I E. Franklin, 226 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: I E. 227 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: Pittman. A. 228 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: I think there's a chance that you know, obviously Richardson 229 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: could be moved My thought is they want to get 230 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: every dollar. They don't like they're not at that position anymore. 231 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't appear like that it's going to be an 232 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: issue for them. So now, you know again, I think 233 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: in Shane Sacken's eyes or Riley Leonard. 234 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: Is your starting quarterback in the spring. 235 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 2: I don't think, to answer my own question, I don't 236 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: think Richardson will be here, but there is a part 237 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: of me it's like, why not? Is he a distraction? 238 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: Like they don't need the cap space. 239 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: With the way that Ballard has talked about it sounds 240 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: like you're talking about an X. 241 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: Well, I think Ballard is actually I think I think 242 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: Styching sounds like more true, more like the act if 243 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: I'm a nitpick here, and Ballard's a little bit more 244 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 2: like he's trying to be a politically correct X is 245 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 2: how he talks about him. But you know again, I 246 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: think we've asked this before, Eddie. If Daniel Jones is 247 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: out for a month, Daniel Jones whatever ac joint injury 248 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 2: in on Halloween and he's out through Thanksgiving, would you 249 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: rather see rather Leonard or would you rather. 250 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: See Anthony and Richardson? 251 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: Probably man. 252 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: Now I think I know their answer. I think they 253 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: are ready to move on, but it's just you know, 254 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: as far as the timeline is concerned, April twentieth is 255 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: the start of the off season program. If you're Richardson's camp, 256 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: would you kind of like to be somewhere else by 257 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: that point? I think you would want every single day 258 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: to learn in your new environment. So yeah, that would 259 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 2: be something where I would definitely look into all of it, 260 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 2: ready to go to the owner. Well, the only other 261 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: thing is what do you make of them saying Josh 262 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: Downs could be an outside wide out. 263 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised. I think he's got the skill set, 264 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 3: even though he does have the size. Yeah, I think 265 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: he's got that agility and the route running technique to 266 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 3: be able to work outside. Yeah. Yeah. 267 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: I think this is kind of a reminder of when 268 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 2: they moved on from Pittman. You know, we we had 269 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 2: this conversation, Okay, what are they going to do? Are 270 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: they going to try to replace it with something of 271 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 2: note from a resource? I don't think that was really 272 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: my thought that they would invest heavily in trying to 273 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: replace it, And it looks like it's more of a 274 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,599 Speaker 2: from numbers of a more on Downs's plate, more on 275 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: Pierce's plate, more on Warren's plate, sign poor Man's and 276 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: Nick Westbrook A Kine poor Man's Michael Pittman Jr. A 277 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: little bit for ash doing and then maybe a fourth 278 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: or fifth round pick a white out. 279 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: But like, I don't think we're going to get to 280 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: the draft. 281 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 2: You would be surprised if they drafted a white out 282 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: in round two, wouldn't you? 283 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: No? 284 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: No, yo oh, you would not be surprised. 285 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: No. I asked you who was it last week? If 286 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: you felt like we were talking about it, got asked 287 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: about Elijah Surratt there in the second round with their piging. 288 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: I just can't see that. I mean, if you're trying 289 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: to get. 290 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: Younger and faster on defense, you've just operated in the 291 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: manner you did through free agency. I mean, i'd argue 292 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 2: round two and round three have to be defense. 293 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: I know, but when the Colts drafted Jonathan Taylor the 294 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: second round was running back a big knee. If you 295 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: find that guy that you love that you put the 296 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: blue chip player tag on, right, go get it. 297 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: I would still be a bit surprised. But again, I 298 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: think it's going to be by committee a little bit 299 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: more there and yeah, we'll see how all of that unfolds. 300 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: What'd you think of what Carli Ruscy Gordon had to say? 301 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's I actually think Eddie, let's lead off with 302 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: this audio and really again I ask it and I 303 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: would like your reaction to it. 304 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so do you have this audio cued up? Yeah, 305 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: this is Carli ers Gordon, this is. 306 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: With JJ Sinkovitz. And to add a little context around it, 307 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: I believe the question was a little bit more rooted 308 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: in like the you know, continuity at the at the 309 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: pillar Daniel Jones, Chris Ballard, Shane Stikeen. 310 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: So here's Carli ers Gordon out there at the league meetings. 311 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 4: With Chris and Shane. Obviously, I think one of the 312 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 4: biggest pieces I always say is, you know, we did 313 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 4: a regression analysis a long time ago about you know, 314 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: what is sort of the I don't want to call 315 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 4: it the kiss of death for where a general manager 316 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 4: and head coach don't succeed. And one of the things 317 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 4: that we found is when you simultaneously hire them, and 318 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 4: when you think about it makes total sense. So imagine 319 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: hiring one one person has to do this another person 320 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: and you just are like, I hope you get along, 321 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 4: you know, versus I think that you know Chris with 322 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: his tenure with us, I think it was we were 323 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: able to go out when we found Shane and really 324 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 4: make sure that we had someone that complimented Chris's style, 325 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 4: and I think I think they have a great relationship. 326 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: I love working with them. 327 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Eddie your reaction to that, because you know, when I. 328 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: Hear it, I'm trying to think, Okay, how do I 329 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: view this in terms of the head coach and GM 330 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: being tied at the hip or not? 331 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 332 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: When I ask it like that, how do you look 333 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: at it? 334 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: I view it as her saying that the reason why 335 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 3: she did not want to fire Chris is because she 336 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: didn't want to dump Shane Stikeen on a general manager, Like, yeah, 337 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: you have to make this work. Whereas if you're looking 338 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 3: at it from the other perspective, if you just had 339 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: the general manager, then you can find a head coach 340 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: in Canada that meshes well with your general manager, if 341 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 3: that makes any sense, and that head coach is tied 342 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: at the hip of the general manager, but the general 343 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: manager is not tied at the hip of the head coach. 344 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: If I said that correctly, I may have that backwards. 345 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: Okay, So you. 346 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 2: If if I ask Carly arse Gordon, do you think 347 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: the GM and the head coach should be tied at 348 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: the hip, you think your answer would be. 349 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 3: What I think it wud be, yes, But there would 350 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: be a caveat to where if you think, if you 351 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 3: really like the head coach and you think that the 352 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: head coach and the general manager at the current structure 353 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 3: worked well together, then you retain both. But if the 354 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: head coach does not work with the general manager, then 355 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 3: you rid of the head coach and find a new 356 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: head coach to work with your general manager if you 357 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 3: like your general manager. 358 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: So you think she's open, like would she be open 359 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: to the end of the season dumping Chris ballor but 360 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: keeping chain stiking. 361 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 3: I don't think so, But she was open or they. 362 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: I should say, her whole family was open a few 363 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: years ago to dumping Frank Reich. 364 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: But keeping Chris Boward. Yes, so interesting. 365 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, when I hear the word simultaneous, I 366 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 2: guess I'm a little confused by it, a bit of like, 367 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: you know, does she mean hiring them in the same cycle, 368 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 2: like aka dumping both of them? 369 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: This off season right right? 370 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: So, you know, because when I look at it, to me, 371 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: it seems pretty simple. If you are canning both and 372 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: you're nervous about whatever, hiring two significant pieces to your 373 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: franchise and off season, you know, fire them both of 374 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: the month ago, get a little head start on things, 375 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: hire the GM the new GM the first week of 376 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: the off sea, and then you have the rest of 377 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: January to hire the head coach. 378 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how many time do you see head. 379 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: Coach searches reach the back end of January or early February, 380 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: particularly if you're winning the interview people on playoff teams. Yeah, 381 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 2: you know that's almost a guarantee. So and again I 382 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: don't know if I'm reading it correctly, but this gets 383 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: back to the you know, Ballard is in year ten, 384 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: Eddie Garrison, give me a letter grade for Chris Ballard 385 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 2: through nine years? See okay, Shane Stikeen isn't entering year four. 386 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 2: Give me a letter grade for Shane Steikeen. 387 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: Bay. 388 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: I would probably nod my head at both. 389 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: I'd probably give bout a lower grade, but whatever, D 390 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: plus B C be it, Like okay, So then how 391 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: do you view that them tied at the hip. 392 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: Like one grade is I would say, notably better than 393 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: the other grade. 394 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, should that matter? 395 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: Does it matter? Is she telling us right there that, like, well, 396 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: if you. 397 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: Find the right compliment to the other, I'm good with 398 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: hiring them in different cycles, you know it? 399 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: Just I found that to be an interesting answer. 400 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: And I think we're going to get this way with 401 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: some Carli ersa Gordon answers. She is a thinker, she 402 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: is a questioner. 403 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: I mean, Chris called her a deep thinker. 404 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like, again, I'm not gonna act like I've 405 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: had extensive interactions with her, but the interactions that I've had, 406 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: she is not someone who's gonna sit there and you know, 407 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: nod her head and move on if she feels the 408 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 2: need to say. 409 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: Or ask something. And again, I think you see the interactions. 410 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: You know how many people are just staying on the 411 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: sidelines as an NFL owner and taking notes and trying 412 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 2: to immerse themselves into it. 413 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: Not many. So I think we're going to have some 414 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: of these debates with her of like, Okay, what how. 415 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: Do you kind of view how she looks at this lens? 416 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 2: And I hear that audio and I'm like, hmm, what 417 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: does this mean? For potentially a contract here for Ballad 418 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: three years left for Stiking. So yeah, I'm kind of 419 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: talking on circles now, you know, as far as other 420 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: stuff she said, you know, it was clear that you know, 421 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 2: she is adamant about the the. 422 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Continuity with Daniel Jones and Shane Stikeen as a duo there. 423 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, she uses the old You. 424 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: Know, we kind of paused the movie on last year 425 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 2: at eight and two. If you want to continue the 426 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: movie analogy for a second. I guess my worry with 427 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: Jones Eddie has been unfortunately that movie has hardly ever 428 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: seen the ending. 429 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's a movie. 430 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: It's been paused a lot, sometimes by his own doing, 431 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: sometimes by injuries of course, you know, on the black 432 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 2: and white nature to evaluating them. 433 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Carly said, I think Chris and Shane know that too. 434 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: It's a tough league. It's a result oriented league. Part 435 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: of it, I would say, is when you missed the 436 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 2: playoffs for five years, you feel it it's palpable, not 437 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: even just for christ and Chane. 438 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: But a lot of guys. 439 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: You know, she said something that like we built a 440 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: foundation last year. I would what do you think a 441 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: Colt's foundation is? 442 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: I have no idea. 443 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 2: Like when she says we built a foundation last year, 444 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: do you think she means Jones and Pierce and Warren. 445 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: I guess that would have to be my guess, right. 446 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: Because a lot of foundation is changing. 447 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 2: And I mean, if we want to go to the defense, 448 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: if I said to you, Eddie, name me Colts defenders 449 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 2: that will be starting for this team in twenty twenty eight, 450 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: you would say who Colts defenders. 451 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 3: A lot too? Hopefully? Sure? Uh? Is that it? Sauce Gardner? Okay, 452 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: I think that's it. 453 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe cam bine them. 454 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: But yeah, I justin Wally right, And now we're starting 455 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: to stretch, you know, now we're getting into some unknowns. 456 00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: I guess, so foundationally, defensively, I'm kind of struggling unlike 457 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: what that is. Offensively, I think you can point to 458 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: a few more pieces potentially. But again, even with the 459 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: guy like Jones, you still have that question mark. So 460 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't sound like from a cap situation 461 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: that she is going to do the whole void years 462 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: very often or you know, again frontload of a bunch 463 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: of cash. It doesn't sound like that's really going to 464 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 2: be a part of her repertoire. 465 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: If you will. 466 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: You know, as far as if they've gotten better, let 467 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: me just read this whole quote and if the team 468 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: has improved, Harley said this, I think we're off to 469 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 2: a great start obviously getting Ard and Key and getting 470 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: built Daniel and Alex signed. One of the things I'm 471 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 2: so excited about that was so heartbreaking to me is 472 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: justin Wally and Hunter Wold are coming back. It's just 473 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 2: my layman's view is that I think the path that 474 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: we need is obviously D line. I think it's a 475 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: clear path as far as what are the pieces we need, 476 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 2: and I feel like there's a lot of great opportunities 477 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: in the draft. Eddie certainly am into that on the 478 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: D line. Now again, it sounds like all the eggs 479 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: are in the and that's a lot to bank on 480 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 2: with no picks in. 481 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: The first forty five spots. Yeah, I mean, you can 482 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: make a case, and I'm sure there's analytics sites to 483 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: do this. You can make the case the Colts have 484 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: some of the least draft capital of any team in 485 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: the league coming up here in three weeks. I mean 486 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: what they draft two times in the first one hundred 487 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: and what is it one. 488 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: And ten picks you know, that's a really small number. 489 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: And again, like with arden Key, he needs to be 490 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: a guy, not the guy. 491 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 3: Yep. 492 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: And as we said it right now, if I'm Martin 493 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: Key's agent, I'm like, wait a minute, If I had 494 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 2: I known this, I want to try to sweep the 495 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 2: pot a little bit more. 496 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by Wally and you know Woler as well. 497 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: But you know, I think we have to remind ourselves 498 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 2: when we were talking ACL and Liz Frank and no 499 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: snaps in the NFL like it just you know, So 500 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see how it all plays out. That 501 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: was probably the big thing there with Carly. I don't 502 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: know if anything else too too much really stood out 503 00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: to me. 504 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else Carly related before we move to towtal questions. 505 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 3: Nothing Carly related. I'm just gonna hit on some of 506 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 3: the other takeaways from odors meetings, like Jimmy has one 507 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: of the Cleveland brown saying that there's a great chance 508 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: to Sean Watson will be their starting quarterback and I 509 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 3: just laughed out loud, as. 510 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: Is that a headline from twenty twenty six? 511 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? 512 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Now, what do you think about the. 513 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 2: Browns withdrawing their proposal there from trading draft picks five 514 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 2: years in advance. I thought the NFL might sign off 515 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: on that. Doesn't that just add entertainment? 516 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: I agree? 517 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: I don't know, Or is that just owner saying we 518 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: don't want to give people, you know whatever, We don't 519 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: want to give people a bunch of We don't want 520 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: to give our gms that much AMMO in the future 521 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: to potentially hamstring our franchise. 522 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: Is that what it is? 523 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know, because. 524 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: To me, I think that's something the NBA does really 525 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: well as the NBA allows for these crazy I mean, 526 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: how much are people addicted the NBA trade machine. 527 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean people are obsessed with that. 528 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. Of course you had the Competition Committee proposal that 529 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: got approved by the NFL for when you're only allowing 530 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: NFL Officiating department to correct clear and obvious misses made 531 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: by on field officials that impact the game and the 532 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 3: event of a replacement refs are used in twenty twenty six, 533 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 3: I think that's one of the biggest things from the 534 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: owner's meetings, Kevin my opinion, because I don't think we're 535 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 3: talking about that enough about what next season could look 536 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: like from that. 537 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: Standpoint, give us to him one more time. 538 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 3: The Competition Committee proposed this to the NFL, and this 539 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: is for one year only, allowing the NFL officiating department. 540 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: That's a freaking disaster in New York. 541 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 3: To correct clear and obvious misses made by on field 542 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: officials that impact the game in the event of refs 543 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 3: are used. Replacement reps are used in the twenty twenty 544 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: six seasons, so basically the fail Mary would not happen. 545 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: Think about that, man, If you're already bracing yourself for that, 546 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: you probably need to read the room. Now it's April first, 547 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 2: there's a lot of time between now and start of 548 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: the season. They can get something done. But if you 549 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: are thinking that might be necessary, oh my gosh, see 550 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: everything you need to know. 551 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. The INFL owners have also approved a rule change 552 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 3: allowing the league to step in and assist on potential disqualifications, 553 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 3: whether for flagrant football acts or non football acts. Initiate 554 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: and initiate a flag if there wasn't one thrown. The 555 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 3: example provided was DK Metcalf's incident last year where no 556 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: flag was thrown, which meant no ejection and he ended 557 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 3: up getting suspended. I think the week seventeen game for 558 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah. 559 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: You know, honestly, it sounded like a relatively quiet week, 560 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: you know, rule change wise, competition committee wise. 561 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean some of this sufficient stuff. I gosh, 562 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: oh boy. 563 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, the the unrestricted free agent rule got approved. I 564 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 3: forget who proposed that. They did the trial run where 565 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 3: you can now have a video call with up to 566 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 3: five unrestricted free agents during the legal tampering period. 567 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: Which that to me, it seems like a no brainer. 568 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, because before it was none. They tried it this 569 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: year and it seemed like it went well. Anything else 570 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 3: to add, Kevin before we get. 571 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: To our question. Now, let's do a little little Twitter time. 572 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 3: Isaac would like to know how big of a need 573 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 3: is wide receiver with the Michael Pittman junior trade. 574 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think it is. I think it's a need. 575 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: You know, if I had a positional mock draft that 576 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: right now, I'd probably put it kind of that fourth 577 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: fifth range. 578 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: You know. 579 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 3: One thing to note in the draft, I think we 580 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 3: need to have you move that up in your level 581 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: of importance so we can get you writing about wide 582 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: receivers against so Chris Ballack can call you. 583 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: Out well, I mean you're the one that found that 584 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 2: clip a few weeks ago that that led to Alec Pierce, Right, yeah, a. 585 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: Few weeks later. 586 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, let's go to that Pierce draft. Actually, Eddie, 587 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 2: you know, ballot at a comment at the end of 588 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: the season. Part of why they felt cumbral the Sauce 589 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 2: Gardner trade is they looked at their history without first 590 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 2: round picks in drafts, and they found good success. 591 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: In their opinion, in that draft. 592 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: So I'd wanted to look into that a little bit 593 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: more because obviously they're operating this year without a first rounder. 594 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: You know, you look at the three drafts Eddie. 595 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: Twenty nineteen that would be the Rocky Scene, Paris Campbell, 596 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 2: Ben Bamagoo, Bobby Okarek draft. You look at twenty twenty, 597 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: that would be the Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Junior, Julian 598 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: Blackman draft. And then twenty twenty two you look at Pierce, 599 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 2: Jolannie Woods, Bernard Ryman, Nit Cross. So those are the 600 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: three drafts. Now, if we examine them a little. 601 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: Further, let's start here three weeks from Friday. 602 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: The Colts not don't only need to hit on both 603 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: those draft picks. They need to hit on those draft 604 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: picks in September, October, November, and December of the season, 605 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 2: like they need hits immediately. 606 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: And if you go back and you look at these 607 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: three drafts twenty twenty two, look, there are definite hits, 608 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: twenty being the the poster child of that. But how 609 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: many of them are day one hits? You know, like 610 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: how many of them are true or like Pierce turn 611 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: out to be a really good player and call them 612 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: a day one hit. Nick Cross turned out to be 613 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: a really good player. 614 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: Taylor, right, Taylor and Pitman I think maybe are stretching 615 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: a little bit. 616 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 3: Julian Blackman a certainly Pittman in that final month of 617 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 3: the regular season and then that playoff game against Buffalo. 618 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: Those are probably the three though. 619 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: You know, when you look at nineteen nineteen was a 620 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: horrific draft period, So nothing there. But you know, again, 621 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: when you go back and you look at those individual 622 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 2: draft classes, what those classes had, which this one currently doesn't. 623 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: They had additional picks in round two and three, you know. 624 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: Go back to twenty nineteen. I believe the additional pick 625 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: that year was via the Jets trade from the previous year, 626 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: remember you trade it back from the three six. Yeah, 627 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: so you had the extra I think it was the 628 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: extra second. 629 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. They had three second round picks that year. 630 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: With the Jets. 631 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty, well, you didn't have your first rounder because 632 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: of Carson Wentz. You you did have the third rounder, or 633 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: maybe that was twenty two. Twenty two. You didn't have 634 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: your first rounder because of Wentz, but you had the 635 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 2: additional third rounder because you traded them to Washington. 636 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: They had two third rounders that year. 637 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: So again that's what I'm getting. At twenty twenty, you 638 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: drafted at thirty four and forty one. Well, you had 639 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: the extra second rounder in twenty twenty and. 640 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,479 Speaker 3: They had the trade up for forty one for Taylor. 641 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you had the additional second rounder to start, yep, 642 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: because you had traded out of round one with Washington. 643 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: I think it was in the previous draft. 644 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: So I know some of that might sound confusing to 645 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: people trying to remember all these drafts and where all 646 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: these picks came from. 647 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: But I guess the simplified is this, the three drafts 648 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: you have had under ballad without a first rounder, you 649 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: have had an additional second and or third or multiple 650 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: already there via other trades, via trade backs. You don't 651 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: have that as we sit here on April. 652 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 2: First, and Eddie, let's say they trade back from forty 653 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: six to whatever, sixty five, that might net you whatever 654 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: a third rounder, so you might get another third rounder. Yeah, 655 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: but that means your first pick hasn't come until number 656 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: sixty five. 657 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 3: Overall, that means the sixty four best players in the 658 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 3: draft have theoretically come off the board. 659 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: So that's where I do sit here and pause a 660 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: little bit about first off, overall impact at all. 661 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: In this year's draft class. 662 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: Secondly, the instant nature of it, because that's what you need. 663 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: I mean, you need quick help. 664 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 3: At some point, you're gonna have to draft for quality 665 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 3: and that quantity. 666 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: Right which on paper, right now, I don't see where 667 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: that's happening. 668 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you just even look at the 669 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 3: draft history, like you can see where you can see 670 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: why the Colts are in the position that they're currently in. 671 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you go back to that twenty four draft. 672 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 3: I mean, Macinsolve is Tanner Borolini and I guess the 673 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 3: jury is still kind of out on a lot too. 674 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: But uh, miss on Mitchell, Well, twenty three is the biggest. Yeah, 675 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: twenty three. Yeah, because most of the players in the 676 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: twenty three draft should be in their best years of 677 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: the career now or going into. 678 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: It again, Eddie. 679 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: When you lose in professional sports, they're supposed to be 680 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: the ability to find gold at the end of the rainbow. 681 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 2: Like you're supposed to be drafting high. Therefore, you're supposed 682 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: to have better success at the draft. The Colts draft 683 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 2: at top five in all those rounds, and it's arguably 684 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: the worst draft than the ballad. 685 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 3: Era six picks between one oh six and one seventy 686 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 3: six that year. And uh, there's only two players that 687 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 3: are currently on the team still, yeah, maybe three. Is 688 00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 3: Bill Mallard still on the team? 689 00:33:59,680 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Yes? 690 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 3: Okay, so then the three Blake Freeland and at a time, 691 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 3: but alright the other two. Yeah. The next question is 692 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 3: from Wake Spike. I'm sure he's a great guy, but 693 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: can't we do a little better at the tight end 694 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 3: two spot than Moley Cox. I know he's been there forever, 695 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 3: but come on, he had one hundred and seventeen yards 696 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 3: and a touchdown last season. I get he's the tall 697 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 3: guy in the end zone, but surely the Colts could 698 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 3: find someone better. Also, aside from Reese's eggs, what candy 699 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 3: is going to be mysteriously disappearing from your kid's Easter 700 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 3: egg baskets? 701 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: Oh wow, oh boy, there's a lot there. Should we 702 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: start Easter or should we start moley co? 703 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 3: I think we have to start Easter. 704 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: Well, I think peeps are absolute trash. 705 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 3: You can't tell that's just all sugar. 706 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: Peeps stink. The Cleveland Browns of Easter candy. Well, obviously 707 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 2: anything Reese's related as obvious. 708 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: I like the the Hershey's cookies and cream eggs. 709 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 3: Interesting, Uh, I haven't had those before? 710 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? Small, you know, small but excellent. I'd love to 711 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: nab a few of those. What would you go with? 712 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 3: What? What? 713 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: What? What are some of your Easter candy go tos? 714 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember the the are their eggs? 715 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: That's not very erry? Yes, yeah, yes, I can do 716 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm not like I'm not you know, running. 717 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 3: Kids over robin eggs? 718 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah, like the hard shell. 719 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 3: Yeah they're like malted milk balls, right right, yeah, I. 720 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: Can I can do that now. Again, Reese's to me 721 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 2: and the cookies and cream eggs, I mean those are 722 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 2: the real, real gold standard. 723 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have Ree's pieces, Eggs. 724 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 2: I mean they got I mean duds. Does anything own 725 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 2: anything more more than re season station. 726 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, maybe Lays with all their chips. 727 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: It's it's incredible. So Okay. 728 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 2: As far as MOOLEI Cox, I don't know, I feel 729 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 2: like I feel like we're kind of nitpicking, right. 730 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 3: I just you're not really asking him to be a 731 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 3: tight end um more or less, asking him to be 732 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 3: an additional offensive lineman. 733 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: Be a six offensive lineman. 734 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 2: And there's just I think we have to remind ourselves 735 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 2: at times you can't solve everything in the NFL from 736 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 2: a roster standpoint. And I look at a Tyler Warren Moley, Cox, 737 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: Drew ogle Tree, Will Mallory tight end room. I'd say 738 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 2: a lot of NFL teams would sign up for that. 739 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: So I understand he's getting up there in age. His 740 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 2: receiving production obviously is not you know where it is. 741 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 2: I'm curious, could Ogle Tree, you know, ascend a little 742 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 2: bit more. But yeah, I just this kind of falls 743 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 2: in the category like everything Chris ballor does is bad. 744 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 2: I can't tight end problems are pretty far down the 745 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 2: list for me. So one year deal. 746 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm fine. Now. 747 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 2: You know, at some point soon they probably do need to, 748 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 2: you know, look into tight end a little bit here, 749 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 2: you know, just giving Moe's age, but I'm not going there. 750 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 3: And the last Twitter question is from Craig. Nice job 751 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 3: with the easter a question, Wake Spike, Thank you for 752 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 3: that two part question from Craig. Name the top four 753 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 3: most important positions on a football team. Craig would say 754 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 3: that his are quarterback, defensive end, corner, and then tackle 755 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: or wide receiver. 756 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. 757 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 2: I mean of those five. Yeah, I mean I'm probably 758 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 2: saying four of those five, right. If he says we 759 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 2: can only go go with four. 760 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 3: I think you've got to go with quarterback, left tackle, 761 00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 3: edge rush, corner. 762 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would Yeah, obviously quarterback, I'd go pass rush, 763 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 2: and then I could probably start to hear some debates 764 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 2: after that. You know, as far as Ballard is concerned, 765 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 2: you know, quarterback, edge rush, and corner, he is drafted 766 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: very poorly. 767 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: You know, some a little bit more than others there. 768 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 1: You know, offensive line, I think he's drafted very well. 769 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: The old line. 770 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: You know, some might say it sounds like nitpicking, but 771 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 2: I think at the time when Anthony is sounds all 772 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: flirted with retirement. I thought you maybe could have done 773 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: a better job initially trying to get something of some 774 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 2: you know, remember when they did the Matt Pryor thing 775 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 2: for a year or was it Eric Fisher. Yeah, I'm 776 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 2: trying to think exactly how it all unfolded. But you know, 777 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 2: I think they waited just a little bit now again, 778 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 2: finding Ryman around three is brilliant. 779 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: Brilliant work there, you know. 780 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 2: And this gets back to our Hendrickson conversation, you know, 781 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: the pursuit of Trey Hendrickson. It's I can understand people 782 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,720 Speaker 2: questioning whether you give Trey Hendrickson. 783 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: The offer that Baltimore gave. 784 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 2: The problem for the Colts is rooted in the draft 785 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 2: that year or those years, I should say, at that position. 786 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 2: That's why you know, you don't have a Hendrickson debate. 787 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 2: If you've hit on some of those defensive ends a 788 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 2: little bit more like had you hit on Quitty pay, 789 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 2: you're not getting to the hendricks In debate. M h 790 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 2: Like that's probably the easiest way to kind of sum 791 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 2: it up there. So yes, I think Craig gets a 792 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: huge indicator of your performance. And I think Ballard at 793 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 2: times is maybe not. He has not viewed his roster 794 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 2: like that. Where there is positional rankings, there are some 795 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 2: positions that are more important than others. I don't think 796 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 2: he looks at it in that light. And then when 797 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: it's been time to draft those positions, they haven't turned 798 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 2: out to be right either, So I think that also, 799 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 2: you know, plays into it. 800 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. The second part from Craig was that now of 801 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 3: your four grade Chris ballad his draft picks at those positions, 802 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 3: I would have to say that he is barely missed 803 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: or barely passing on Craig's top three, which were quarterback, edge, 804 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 3: and tackle. Given how important the draft is to the 805 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 3: long term success of the team, isn't that yet another 806 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 3: indicator of his performance. 807 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's that's fair to say.
