1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: We are back.

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: The nplis cult seven in one another Sunday another ass

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: kicking and Eddie. You don't see it often, although you

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: did see it quite a few teams around the league.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 2: But playing walk on football in the fourth quarter of

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: an NFL game, you don't empty the bench too often.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: And the Colts have emptied it a whole lot here

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: because of them in twenty twenty five. They did it

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: again on Sunday thirty eight to fourteen.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: Again.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I feel like a broken record.

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: I feel like I've done this Monday pod so many

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: times this season and it is just an unbelievable compliment

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: how they've played football this season. Again, no twenty point

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: wins last year, the year before, or the year before that,

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: and they've got four of them here through the first

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: eight weeks. Jonathan Taylor is extremely good at football and

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: the Colts are seven and one. Good morning to you, sir.

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: Good morning KB. How are you good?

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 5: Good?

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, hollween, Well it looks good for Friday.

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: What are we dressing up as cheerleader or K pop

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: demon Hunter for Rosie? Really help cheerleader because we don't

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: pop demon Hunter. We don't even know what like Little Band.

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: It's probably the easiest way to say it, Like you

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: don't like demon Hunt. No, No, it's fine music. Yeah,

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: I actually it's it's enjoyable music. But dressing up, No,

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: we already bought the cheerleader outfit. Okay, that's what we're wearing.

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: And then for Max either a dinosaur or a or spidery.

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're going back and forth. So up here

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: we are.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: This is pretty simple. I just want to be an animal.

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: Sound we sound like Mike McCoy at the fifty yard

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: line versus we need some shainsake and decisiveness?

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: Are you and Maddie not dressing up in our house?

36
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: If Maddie dresses up thirty eight weeks pregnant, then she

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: deserves a purple heart.

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: I will be baking, I think.

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: Okay, here can we get? Can we get some improvement

40
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: there in your part?

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: Come on?

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Why mess with success?

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: Success?

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm like the Colts offense.

46
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: Okay.

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: You know one thing too to note about yesterday, Eddie

48
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: is like they've handled business at home, you know, I

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: mean they were a fifteen to nineteen home football team

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: the previous four years during this playoff drought, and for

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: you to be what five and oh at home right now,

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: and you know again the professionalism grand takeaways after playing

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: the Titans. I get they're not probably going to be

54
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: there too too much, but still it is unbelievable, unbelievably

55
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: impressive what they are doing. So a lot to get

56
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: to on today's pod. Probably a little bit more trade

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: deadline centric coming up on Wednesday, as it'll be coltson Steelers,

58
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: a three point.

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: Favorite early in the week.

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: I think it's Iron Eagle and JJ Watt on that

61
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: call off Colton Steelers coming up one o'clock. Pittsburgh looked

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: really bad in the second half last night.

63
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: They've looked really bad for some time now that I mean.

64
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: I was just looking over their schedule before we got

65
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: on the pod. I'm like man and Stiking owns there

66
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: this defense for Pittsburgh is not good. And Mike Tom, yeah,

67
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: it is not good. But to dive into what you did,

68
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: like starting with Jonathan Taylor, Kevin. A lot of people

69
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 4: don't know this, but like the Colts send out a

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: ton of emails, especially after the game, mainly like quotes

71
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: of what the players said, which she and Sichin said.

72
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: Same for the Tennessee aspect of it, they'll send it

73
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: with the opponent. So and they also send these postgame notes,

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: which I think are really really helpful for like stat

75
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: nerds like you and me. And I was looking at

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor's name and all the stats and athletes take

77
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: up a whole damn page. It's unreal.

78
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: I mean there was like fifteen bullet points I think

79
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: there was this week for Taylor, which is a massive amount.

80
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: I said to my chapel, who I think I've here before?

81
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: I sit next to chap at home games. I said

82
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: to my chapel, I think, after maybe the second run

83
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: of the game, what is.

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: His career high?

85
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 5: Again?

86
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: Like it had that feel out early for me. Yeah,

87
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: like his first run was a great run yesterday, like

88
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: that twelve thirteen yard or.

89
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: So.

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: I found myself over the last twenty four hours that

91
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: he thinking the why Why is a guy that has

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: already had a Hall of Fame start to his career,

93
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: why or how is he taking it to another level?

94
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Because I think that's the question you have right now.

95
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: You know, Taylor has been unbelievable in his NFL career,

96
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: but why is it going another wrong up the ladder?

97
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: The biggest thing I can come back to. And I

98
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: know it's not something super scientific or something super whatever.

99
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Maybe insightful to some people, but I just think it's

100
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: general health. I don't look and Taylor has largely been

101
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: I think a healthy running back.

102
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: Now. He's fought some things over the last three years.

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: You know, he had the ankle issue issue in twenty

104
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: twenty two, and then the contract issue and then the

105
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 2: ankle kind of lingers.

106
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: Remember he had the thumb yep, you know, missed a

107
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: few games.

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 4: With that right after coming back from the whole contract dispute.

109
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: Right, and then had the ankle last year a little

110
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: bit early in the season. I can't recall the last

111
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: time he's missed a practice.

112
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Practice.

113
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hasn't shown up with the injury report in

114
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: eight weeks of season. How me starting running backs go

115
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: eight weeks into a season not showing up, you know,

116
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: like a Wednesday rest day or a Wednesday.

117
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: Sit out for whatever anything. And I'm trying to think

118
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: back preseason.

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: I mean, hell, in the preseason, Eddie, he carried the football.

120
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: You know how many running backs with his resume touch

121
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: it in the preseason, right? And then training camp the spring.

122
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean.

123
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: Pristine health because I feel like what has that led to?

124
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: It's led to a few.

125
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: More second level runs turned into the third level, third

126
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: level runs turned into the fourth level. And that's that.

127
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: It would be my summerization.

128
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 4: I guess fourth level being the end zone.

129
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: Sure exactly, that would be my summerization of Taylor right now.

130
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: Pristine health is leading to a few more of the

131
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Let's take that run. You know, seven becomes thirteen, thirteen

132
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: becomes nineteen, nineteen becomes eighty, And think back to the

133
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: season Eddie yesterday. The eighty yard run is one of

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: the finest runs you'll ever see. I can't believe, given

135
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: that angle, he is able to full throttle it down

136
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: the sideline and still keep still saying bounce. I said

137
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: to Chap many times during the run, I go, there's

138
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: no way he's stayed in bounce right, and yet he

139
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: has the balance and the speed and the combo of

140
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: that to do it. What's you know, what's your favorite

141
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: tailor run of the year? Is it Week two in

142
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: Denver when the dude has him right in the backfield

143
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: for a tackle for loss and he breaks that and

144
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: turns it into sixty? Is it Week three in Tennessee

145
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: when Warren's leading into the hole is the full back,

146
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: and Taylor right in the middle of the field, you know,

147
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: puts his foot in the ground and boom, breaks a

148
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: couple tackles. The next thing, you know, he blows that

149
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: game open. Is it the Rams run that Ady Mitchell

150
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: commits the holding penalty on that one doesn't even count

151
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: in the stat chet or is it yesterday? And I mean, honestly,

152
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: I thought the first touchdown run was just as impressive

153
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: as the eighty yarder. And you know, even the shovel

154
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: pass doesn't go down as a run, but that was

155
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: beautiful as well. So well, MVP chants are abound. Maybe

156
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: I'll save my MVP rant for Twitter questions. I'm sure

157
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: we had we had had a tailor something question and

158
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in Twitter questions, I'll maybe save my MVP thoughts on that.

159
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Taylor extremely good at football ATY.

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: You know, if he plays all seventeen games, he's on

161
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: average or he's projected to have one and six rushing yards,

162
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: so he needs to pick up the pace.

163
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Was yesterday his fewest touches of the season.

164
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: Let's see at fourteen touches yesterday? Oh yeah, easily. And

165
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: you know, it's probably the best game so back to

166
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: back weeks. By the way, the last two games Chargers

167
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: in this game are the fewest touch games of the

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: season for him.

169
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hmm.

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: He had nineteen against the Chargers and then which fourteen

171
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: against the Titans yesterday.

172
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: Score.

173
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: I have something new with that, but I would be

174
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: good with you knowing them back a little bit, just

175
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: to saving for December.

176
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: But special, special.

177
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: Player, absolutely another special player who's been the most consistent

178
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: player in the wide receiver room when he's been healthy.

179
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior had another solid day yesterday. Kevin, Yeah,

180
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: I want to make sure we mentioned him. I was

181
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: kind of hoping he'd eclipse one hundred just to get

182
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: that stat done. It's kind of a wild stat. They've

183
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: played eight games and they haven't, you know, had a

184
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: hundred yard put yard receiver yet. Obviously scores indicated some

185
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: of that. Pittman, you know, easily could have gone back

186
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: in the game and gotten over one hundred eight catches

187
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: and nine targets for him and Eddie. That's one of

188
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 2: the catch best catches I've seen from a Colts player.

189
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: His touchdown catch, you know, to be blanketed pass interference

190
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: to fight through it, make the play go to the ground,

191
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: complete the catch.

192
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: All of it. Uh, pretty special by Michael Pittman Junior.

193
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: There.

194
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: I had to laugh when he slid.

195
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: That's one of the funny in the midfield. Yeah, you know,

196
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: insert you know what I say quite often about that

197
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: man in his collegiate background.

198
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, what is it? For those that maybe just tuning.

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: In there was no UFC pretty boy and how Michael

200
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior plays football. I can think a lot of

201
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: other Colts white outside of probably or would have slid

202
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: doing that, But I had no issue with it. Yeah,

203
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: you know, you have the juggling catch kind of reminiscent

204
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: of Reggie Wayne and the AFC Championship cable for the.

205
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: Right off the face mask. But I just they're reminded

206
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: me of at the game they do the simmacam the

207
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 4: way you caught it.

208
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Hold by the way, shout out to the movie lookalike

209
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: cam Yesterday and ended with India and the Jones and

210
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: a camera shot off Daniel Jones. Let's go, very very

211
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: nicely done by the Colts in game entertainment crew. So yeah,

212
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: I just I wanted to mention Pittman, but I also

213
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: just want to mention the skill group because like their

214
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: ability to not have ego to allow them to be

215
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: as balanced as they are. It's not just a slam dug.

216
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: It's not a given to continue to kind of whatever

217
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: run out your route tree and you know, save the

218
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: balance that you do have there. It's it's a very

219
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: special group off the field as well. And so by

220
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: the way we left Tanner BORDERLINI joined the pod here.

221
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: We had that our morning show earlier today. We'll throw

222
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: that here coming up in a few minutes there. I

223
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: think you'll really enjoy not only Bordalini's comments. I think

224
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: he's pretty good voice emerging voice for them, but I

225
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: also think when you hear Braden Smith's breakfast order, oh boy,

226
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: brace yourself.

227
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: The eight catches and ninety five yards are most in

228
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 4: the game by a pass catcher for the Colts this season. Coincidental, Kevin,

229
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: Weren't we just talking about that on like Monday or

230
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 4: Wednesday of last week, about what's the most catches in

231
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: a game for a Colt receiver?

232
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

233
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: I think yeah, because I remember we were looking up

234
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: kind of Warren's numbers and so yes, good on Pittman,

235
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: who was he was the Jim Orsi guitar guy yesterday.

236
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: Good walking in the stadium. I'm sure Tyler Warren is

237
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: not gonna, you know, complain, but yesterday was national tight

238
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: ends to day. One of those touchdowns should have gone

239
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: to him.

240
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I think they were trying.

241
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: There was only one play that I thought was stupid, Kevin.

242
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: But something you liked was that there was nothing stupid

243
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: about the game yesterday for the Colts offense. We were defensively,

244
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: I feel like stupid play.

245
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: The do one, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought opening

246
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: drive against the worst team in the NFL. I don't

247
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: know if that's necessarily something you need to be deploying there.

248
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: I did think Tennessee did a decent job of breaking

249
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: it up. But yes, could have been Dirted, could have

250
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: been first, could have been not called, could have been Dirted,

251
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: and Ashton Doalon could have not tried to act like

252
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: he was Reggie Bush at usc All on the same play.

253
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, as far as the nothing stupid or no,

254
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: just in general, no negatives. And I guess I'll use

255
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: this time to bring up Daniel Jones Eddie. I would

256
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: not have guessed yesterday was a career high in passer

257
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: raady just judging by the game I saw now certainly

258
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: like when you it gets inflated when like you throw

259
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: the shovel to tailor and you know he does the

260
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: rest there.

261
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: On that play.

262
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: But still, and you know, I found myself walking out

263
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: stadium being like, it is such a credit to Daniel

264
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 2: Jones where he has and I'm speaking for myself here,

265
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: he has raised his standard to where.

266
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: I look at yesterday.

267
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: Don't you know from a pure passer writing standpoint, that

268
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: was an A plus Daniel Jones game. If you would

269
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: have told me yesterday, what's your letter greade on Daniel Jones,

270
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: I would have said, like, uh, I don't know, B

271
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: B plus. But it's like he has taken his standard

272
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: over these last two months and he's raised it to

273
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: a level where like that performance to me.

274
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 4: Looks a little w hum yeah, which.

275
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: In reality it's like, wait, man, hey, do you realize

276
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: where he came from? And then b that's pretty darn

277
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: good quarterback play. And I get the second quarter is

278
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: probably what I point to for a little bit of

279
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: nit nippick. You know, I thought maybe recognizing a little

280
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: bit of the pressure, feelings in that pressure, especially the

281
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: free rusher.

282
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: I guess I'll.

283
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: Point out I I you know, the Colts have had

284
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: a few of these Monday concussions today. I was a

285
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: little shocked Daniel Jones didn't get checked out at all

286
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: after that sack. I mean that was a violent slam

287
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: to the turf of his head there, And you know,

288
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: you think about Javarius Ward and Josh Downs. I think

289
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: they might have had another one that had concussion like

290
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: symptoms develop on a Monday. So I don't know, just

291
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 2: something to keep an eye on, But yeah, I thought

292
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: second quarter it kind of bounce back from that. Obviously,

293
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: hits the deep ball to Pierce, gave him a chance

294
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: there after missing him a little bit long in the

295
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: second and then you know Downs finding him for that

296
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: last touchdown that really just kind of iceed ice the game.

297
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: So no negatives. Six times in eight games, stuff that

298
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: I shouldn't take for granted.

299
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: How about this from a Live Sports brio, Kevin most

300
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: points per drive through Week eight in a single season

301
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 4: since nineteen at seventy eight. I'm sure that's as far

302
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 4: back as they can go with tracking such statistic. Number

303
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: one the two thousand and seven Patriots number three. The

304
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: two thousand rams twenty eighteen Chiefs is fourth. The Colt's

305
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: second three point four to six points per drive New

306
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: England was three point five to seven. Absolutely unreal.

307
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. It's amazing what he is doing. And

308
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: you know, all these stats point to him, you know,

309
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: greatest show on turf and this and that. It's pretty

310
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: darn good.

311
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: And the final one, uh shout out to Mount Kanti

312
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 4: for this one. Yesterday, Coltzoff scored either a touchdown or

313
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,119
Speaker 4: a field goal on sixty seven consecutive red zone possessions

314
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: dating back to Week seven of twenty twenty four. It's

315
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: the longest streak among all NFL teams dating back to

316
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: at least nineteen ninety three. Can you imagine looking that up?

317
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, that one really because obviously that means

318
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: no turnovers whenever, no missed short field goals when you

319
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: do occasionally settle for field goals.

320
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 4: So no turnover on downs.

321
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, turnover downs for sure, yep.

322
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, we're in the game clock managements. Yeah, where

323
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: you don't score either. Kevin wann win like this and

324
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: the way they've been playing, it's hard to find things

325
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: that you didn't like, but I think we could all agree.

326
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: It was pretty painful watching Mike McCoy coach yesterday.

327
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I was dumb, though, I mean listening to

328
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee media. I mean, it was just unbelievable.

329
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: Like you're an interim head coach and you are punting

330
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: the ball like you're Army or Navy in a snow

331
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: game in December. It was I mean, I don't want

332
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: to act like that game was ever going to become

333
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: a game, but Tennessee, at several points, we're driving with

334
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: the ability of like if we score here, it's still

335
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: one possession, you know, kind of those types of drives,

336
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: and yet they'd get into these like whatever fourth and

337
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: threes around midfield, fourth and fives, and oh, let's get

338
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: a net. You know, I think we really need a

339
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: net punt.

340
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Of twenty two.

341
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Nothing says a good one in six football team needing

342
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: a with an interim head coach need a net punt

343
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: against and giving the ball back to the Colts offense

344
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, Yeah, that was just pathetic. I literally

345
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: said in my chapel, I go, can they fire an

346
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: interim head coach?

347
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to do?

348
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: That? Is an NFL team ever fired two coaches in

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: one year, because that's what I'd be doing with.

350
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: Well, the Colts did that right in the uh that

351
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: one year they fired Marcus Brady.

352
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: And then well I meet two head coaches.

353
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: Oh you know, I actually.

354
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: Think cam Board's got some legit talent, and I feel

355
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: bad for him a little bit there. I think he's

356
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: got some. And you know, if I am gonna nitpick,

357
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: I guess a couple things, Eddie. One, I counted Tennessee

358
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: for ten real drives yesterday. Yeah, seven of them got

359
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: to Cult's territory. So again, no grand takeaways. I think

360
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: when you play an opponent like this, but I guess,

361
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: eight days away from the trade deadline, I still think

362
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: you need to be looking into something. And I do

363
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: think they are looking into something, but that would be one.

364
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: And I don't know what to make of this, but

365
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: I'll ask you this, uh huh, what.

366
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: Do you make of Zira Franklin's tackling numbers this season?

367
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: I think it's a you know, it shows the difference

368
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: in scheme, so.

369
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: You think it's purely scheme. No indicator of Zire Franklin's play.

370
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

371
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: It could be a mixture of both, but uh, I

372
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: feel like it's more scheme related than anything else, because

373
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: it felt like everything with you know, Gus Bradley was

374
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: funneling towards the middle of the field, especially in the

375
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 4: wrong game. So that you know, whomever's I here, e J.

376
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: Speed or whomever's playing linebacker Grant Stewart had a really

377
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: nice game for him last year or whatever did rack

378
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: up tackles.

379
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quite amazing that yesterday's Are Franklin was eleventh

380
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: on the team in tackles. He had two tackles in

381
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: the game, two assisted tackles in the game. It's the

382
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: few as he's had as a starter since he became

383
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: a full time starter for this team.

384
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 4: So Jermaine Pratt led the team in tackles with eight.

385
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

386
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 4: So no double digit tackle games yet from Zider this

387
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: season either, right, but I mean he does have he

388
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 4: does have the a sack on the season and a

389
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: couple passes defense.

390
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

391
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: I And again I don't think it's you know, I

392
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: don't act like what Sara Franko's the liability needs to

393
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: be pulled off the field. But it is kind of wild,

394
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: how like Jermaine Pratt's coming here and like he's been tackler,

395
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of different games now, whereas Franklin

396
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: is not. You know, is that Will versus Mike?

397
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?

398
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: There?

399
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: So but again, defensively, I still just have questions when

400
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: you play more legit teams moving forward here, And I

401
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: don't think yesterday necessarily whatever changed my mind anyway, shape.

402
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: Or form on Do you think teams are running away

403
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: from them at all? Maybe a little bit, I don't.

404
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Know, But I mean I think in general, running up

405
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: the middlegans the Colts is probably dumb considering their defensive

406
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: tackle play. True, obviously the third and six is a

407
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: great design and Tajy Spears, you know, rip that off

408
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: down sideline there. But you know, again, I think in

409
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: general when I think about this defense is like not

410
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: every game. Are you gonna have rookie quarterbacks miss third

411
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: and fourteen home runs?

412
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

413
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: Or you know, do what they did? You know near

414
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: the fifty yard line there? You know, I know the

415
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: field goal was long by slide, but how easy was

416
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: that to just get into field goal range there?

417
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: To plays forty one yards? Boom boom? That that some

418
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: of that stuff's playing with fire.

419
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: Last thing to add in terms of what you did

420
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: not like the defense not getting off the field early.

421
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess I kind of said that, you know,

422
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: probably in covernt of just like the natural ability to

423
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: get off the field. And again my assumption isn't seven

424
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: of ten drives should be reversed, but like, can you

425
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: get that closer to whatever? Fifty to fifty, especially against

426
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 2: offenses that have struggled to the magnitude of what Tennessee's

427
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: offense has, So you know, that would be a question

428
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: that I would have continuing here as you're going to

429
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: face you know, better, better offenses, more competent quarterbacks. However

430
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: you want to define it here, And that's really the

431
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: that's kind of the big shift.

432
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: Now, Eddie. It's almost like you can cut up the

433
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: season into two.

434
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: You know.

435
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: Now, I'd be stunned if you are a double digit

436
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: favorite really in any game the rest of the year,

437
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: barring injury, yeah, barring obviously quarterback injury. But you know, now,

438
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: the schedule shifts. I don't think p was a great

439
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: team at all, but you know, the atmosphere you know,

440
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh, at Arrowhead and what at Seattle. Those are

441
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: three of your next four road trips, and I think

442
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: one of them is the one that's not is at Jacksonville,

443
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: which we know the history there. So I mean those

444
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 2: are just different atmospheres and you know, more competent football teams,

445
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe when you start to build the lead,

446
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: maybe the other team isn't throwing.

447
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: Off the white flags as often. So the schedule certainly

448
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: is about to shift.

449
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, three for six third down conversions in the first

450
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: half for Tennessee. I'm not sure what they finished on

451
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: the game. Let me quickly look, Tennessee finished after three

452
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: for six in the first half, they finished six for fifteen,

453
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: so three for nine in the second half, So they

454
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: a better job on third down getting off the field

455
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 4: in the second half compared to the first half.

456
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 2: Sure we get to Tanner Borderlini, let's do it the

457
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: Colt Center. I think you'll enjoy the con though with

458
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 2: him up in early seven to forty five on a

459
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: Monday morning for Tanner Bordellini, him with us on the

460
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: Morning Show.

461
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 6: Tanner Borderlini the Offensive and for the Indianapolis Colts on

462
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 6: the Payless Lookers Hotline. Good morning on another victory Monday

463
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 6: for the Indianapolis Colts. I would have guessed that you're

464
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 6: okay with this getting old, this this victory Monday thing, right.

465
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 5: No, it has been a lot of fun to be

466
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 5: a part of. But I got to keep them rolling.

467
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Tanner.

468
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 7: When you look at what this team is able to

469
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 7: be able to do offensively, how impressive is it or

470
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 7: how much fun is it? Rather to be a fan

471
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 7: every now and then, Like, for example, when you're blocking

472
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 7: for a play, I don't know how often you get

473
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 7: a chance to just sit there and watch the rest

474
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: of it. But when JT goes for eighty yards, what's

475
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 7: your reaction to what you're seeing on a regular basis.

476
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: I mean, it's pretty awesome.

477
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 8: I think you see some of the players, our guys

478
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 8: make a weekend week out, it's always extremely impressive. You know,

479
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 8: watching JT break that ADR touchdown something that I don't

480
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 8: think ever gets old. You know they think the kid

481
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 8: inside he lives a little bit watching and make plays

482
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 8: like that.

483
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: And it's, uh, you get the chance to.

484
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 8: Be a fan again. You see Pitt make a grab

485
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 8: like that in the end zone yesterday, It's like, oh my,

486
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 8: did you see that? Uh? I think We're just as

487
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 8: excited as the fans are, and it's been really a

488
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 8: lot of fun to be a part of. And uh,

489
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 8: I know, I think me I can speak for everyone

490
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 8: on the offense when I say we're having a blast

491
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 8: out there.

492
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: Tanner, Mike, did you see that moment? Was when you

493
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 2: out jumped Shane Steichen on the sidelines. There you got

494
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: Shane's got to get his vertical up.

495
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 5: Oh so Shane tried to get me out on last

496
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 5: week and I missed him. I misread the situation. So

497
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 5: I gotta get him back this week, so I make

498
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 5: sure to.

499
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 3: Get up there.

500
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure this next game.

501
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: Will be dialed on it.

502
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 8: He'll be ready to roll, He'll get some height on

503
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 8: that jump. But uh, I think we both get a

504
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 8: little pretty fired up when when our offense is rolling

505
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 8: like that.

506
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 2: It's a starting center for the cold Tanner BORDERLINI with

507
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: us here on the Payless Slickers hot line, seven am

508
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: on a Monday.

509
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: What is your Monday routine?

510
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 8: I had it in Now I'm about to get some treatment.

511
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 8: You know, he'll up whatever. You know, not feeling great, but.

512
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 3: I think everything always feels a little better after a win.

513
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 5: But I'll get healed up, get a lift in, hit

514
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 5: some meetings, watching it, watch.

515
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 8: The film, break it down to what I can improve on,

516
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 8: just personally going through the next week, because I think

517
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 8: you know, it's about getting better week to week. See

518
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 8: when we get improved upon every game, winner, lose, and

519
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 8: then just enjoy the rest of the day.

520
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 6: Tanner, Why do you think this offense is performing and

521
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 6: executing at such a high level right now? What's been

522
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 6: the key?

523
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: I think it's just everyone doing their job right now.

524
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 8: We have eleven guys that know if I can do

525
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 8: my job, we have tremendous talent at all those other

526
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 8: positions where those ten other guys are going to do

527
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 8: some great things if I give them the opportunity to.

528
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 8: And everyone buying in every week, every game plan. I

529
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 8: don't think there's a single week where guys are preparing different.

530
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 8: You know, there's key consistencies, been at a premium, and

531
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 8: I think guys just really being focused and wanting our

532
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 8: offense to keep excelling the way it is so.

533
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 7: Tanner, Obviously, as a center, you touched the ball more

534
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 7: than anybody else. How much more comfortable do you feel

535
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 7: this year being a full time starter versus last year

536
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 7: as a rookie, just trying to make sure that you,

537
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't mess up at the NFL level.

538
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 8: I think you know, you just kind of embraced that

539
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 8: this is like my position, my spot now, and.

540
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: I think you just do. You do feel a little

541
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: more comfortable just you know, you're you're playing.

542
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 8: With those guys in practice every day, You're getting all

543
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 8: the reps with them. You're going to be the guy

544
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 8: at that spot. So I think that confidence is there.

545
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 8: You're just more comfortable just having stacked.

546
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: And had all those reps of those guys that are

547
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: around you.

548
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: A number sixty for the colts. Channer BORDERLINI with us

549
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: here on the Payless Slickers hot line seven to one.

550
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 2: Start here in this twenty twenty five season, Tanner you

551
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: shared with us. I think it was on Zoom last

552
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: week about kind of what you witness and the Daniel

553
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: Jones Chanstiken relationship on a weekly basis for our audience

554
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: that maybe didn't hear that, what do you see from

555
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: those two Monday through Saturday? And I guess I point

556
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: out Saturday because I believe you do sit behind those

557
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: two on road trips as well.

558
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: You know, just getting to see the way they talk

559
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: to each other.

560
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 8: You know, how invested they both aren't winning.

561
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 5: How on the same page about the.

562
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 3: Game plan they are like on the plane, I'll.

563
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 5: Beat behind those two in the whole flight.

564
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: You know, we're in a four hour flight to LA.

565
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: They're both throwing through.

566
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 5: Stuff, talking about, Hey, here's what I think we.

567
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 8: Can get on this situation, this play if we get discoveraged,

568
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 8: you know, here's what I think would be a good call,

569
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 8: you know. And I think it really shows once we

570
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 8: get the game time that they both know when this

571
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 8: play comes in, here's what we're thinking, Here's what we

572
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 8: want to do, Here's what we want to achieve. And

573
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 8: I think that's a really important part of why this

574
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 8: offense has been the way it has.

575
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: Who can eat the most in the offensive line room?

576
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 8: Man, we got a lot of guys that are up there.

577
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: I would say, Braiden.

578
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 8: If you get Braiden on the right day, he can

579
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 8: he can demolished some food. He has probably had the

580
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 8: biggest breakfast I've ever seen in my life.

581
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: What is that?

582
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: What is it?

583
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I assume it's plates plurally, but what does that look like?

584
00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 8: So he he'll have seven over easy eggs, seven pancakes,

585
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 8: and then uh, he like the biggest bowl of fruit

586
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 8: you've ever seen. I'm talking like it'd be like another plate,

587
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 8: you know, piled highway fruit. I mean, it's unreal how

588
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 8: much you can put down?

589
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Is that daily or this game day?

590
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, it's daily for breakfast.

591
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 5: That's what he knocks out. He said he's a seven

592
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: over easy.

593
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: Egg guy, which I think is an.

594
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 5: Insane amount of over easy eggs.

595
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: But I love Brandon, but he could put that down

596
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: like no other.

597
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 7: Tanner aside from the dieting, I think the seven pancakes.

598
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, damn. I'm just like, how are we the same species?

599
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 7: Right?

600
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: You know?

601
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: Two eggs over easy? Probably as much as I got,

602
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 7: you know, for for my uh you know, buck fifty frame.

603
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 8: I'm with you on that, two or three maybe seven's

604
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 8: that's a man's number.

605
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 7: I guess Tanner, speaking of beyond just I guess the

606
00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 7: dieting expertise of your teammate, Uh, Tony Fronto Junior, your

607
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 7: offensive line coach. How much is he meant to you

608
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 7: and that room, because from the sounds of it talking

609
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 7: to you and others, he'll love you up. But he

610
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 7: also won't sugarcoat anything.

611
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 8: No, He's been huge, and I think that's a great

612
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 8: way to do it. I feel like you always know

613
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 8: what he's telling you is true and it's what he

614
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 8: actually means.

615
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: And I think it's a great thing for a coach

616
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: to have.

617
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 5: And again, as a player, you won't you it's not.

618
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: Always going to be perfect.

619
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 8: You understand that, but if you take the coaching for

620
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 8: what it is, I think you can grow a lot

621
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: from it as a player. And it makes our group

622
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 8: a lot better because I think we all see that

623
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 8: the same way, where look, we know we're not going

624
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 8: to be perfect. It might not always be what you

625
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 8: want to hear, but sometimes it's what you need to hear.

626
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 8: And he does a really great job but you know,

627
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 8: telling you what you need to do better, but loving

628
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 8: you up on the things you do well and then

629
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 8: just having us ready for games.

630
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: He does a phenomenal job.

631
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: Does he have an inside voice sometimes he.

632
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 3: Also has an outside you know, he's.

633
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 8: Got a little bit of both, but he finds that

634
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 8: happy medium of you know, don't how to coach?

635
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: Each got tanner last one for me, and we really

636
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: appreciate your time here on this Monday morning. Do you

637
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 2: have a favorite Jonathan Taylor run from this season?

638
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 8: I mean that eighty yard one was just pretty electric.

639
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 8: There there are so many great ones though that, like,

640
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 8: I mean, this is a really good problem to have,

641
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 8: you know, I really can't choose one. I feel like

642
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 8: every week there's one where I'd like, that was unbelievable.

643
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: But that's just the kind of runner as he is.

644
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: He gives you something like that weekend.

645
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: Week out all right, the Braden Smith played Eddie, that's unreal,

646
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: seven over easy eggs, seven pancakes And to hear him

647
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: describe that plate to fruit, it sounds quite large.

648
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: No chance I could handle the seven pancakes.

649
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 4: No way.

650
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: Like I get frustrated and you go these you know whatever,

651
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: you know, these breakfast plates, and I am like.

652
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Probably more of a breakfast person.

653
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: Oh me too, I don't need the three pancakes, yeah,

654
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: like just you might as well give me the box

655
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: right now.

656
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: That's why you need to do the two by two

657
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 4: by two if they have that or they you know whatever.

658
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: Can I allo cart one pancake you might.

659
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 4: Be able to do that, or you can all of

660
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: KRT like silver dollar pancakes, you.

661
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: Know, sure, sure, yeah, that works there so and boy

662
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: Aleca Brainsmith, I think there's an ounce of body fat

663
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: on that body there.

664
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 1: Big one for him coming up this weekend.

665
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: DJ Watt, We've got some Twitter questions to get to.

666
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: Are you ready for them?

667
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: Let's do it?

668
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: Got three of them, starting with King. First, I want

669
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 4: to say Andrew Luck has officially transferred full custody of

670
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 4: the Titans to Jonathan Taylor. I'd like to throw in, Kevin.

671
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: I asked you at the end of the podlast Wednesday.

672
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: Can to keep the streak last three games? Three touchdowns

673
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: against Tennessee?

674
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 5: Now?

675
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: How about that?

676
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Also?

677
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 4: Shane Steichen undefeated against Tennessee. Here is King's question, Taylor

678
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 4: is the best running back in Colts history right now?

679
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: Two or false? King leans toward that statement being true.

680
00:29:54,720 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: The fact that he can ask that is amazing. Yeah,

681
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean the Colts have one of the richest running

682
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: back histories of any franchise in the league.

683
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the richest.

684
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: I you know, I kind of feel this historically about

685
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: the Colt running backs Eric Dickerson and Marshall Falk were

686
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: better elsewhere. Now Edgrid James is the real combo, and

687
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to forget who Edgerriend James was right,

688
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: But I think Jonathan Taylor is in a lane and

689
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: he's driving Cam Jones speed and he's catching up the edge.

690
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 4: Okay for those that don't know Cam Jones and rookie

691
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: for the Pacers gut pulled over for going ninety down

692
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 4: the highway here last week.

693
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: He's on a path that canton Jonathan Taylor, and he

694
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: sees Edge in front of him and he's humming.

695
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: So I.

696
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: It's an unbelievable first six years in the NFL. It

697
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: is on a Canton like trajectory. I get that he

698
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: has taken some growth as a third down player. Let's

699
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: not forget what Edgriend James did early in his career

700
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: as a blocker and as a receiver.

701
00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: And so.

702
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have. I mean, I've always been a huge,

703
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: huge edge guy. So I don't know. I found weird

704
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty six, being like, well, just

705
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: to make sure our youngsters still remember Trin James.

706
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: But the fact that the statement of question couldn't even

707
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: be asked, Like, I love the thought because it makes

708
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: me think, But I also realize that you're discrediting a

709
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: bus that's already in Canton and one that you can

710
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: start to think about being in Canton. It's just like

711
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: unfair to do to either of them. But yeah, unbelievable.

712
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: We don't have a question about this. So I'll ask

713
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: you this. Should he be you know, in the top

714
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: three top five for MVP? Yeah, thank you for bringing

715
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 2: this up. Okay, so this is my MVP rant and

716
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: I've probably given something along these lines before. Is MVP

717
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: the acronym or is it best player?

718
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: I think in today's world it's best player.

719
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's not how they vote on it. They vote acronym.

720
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: We haven't had a running back win since Adrian Peterson.

721
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: Are you telling me Derek Henry wasn't the best player

722
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: in the NFL one of those years? It is the acronym,

723
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: that's how we vote on it. That's why I was

724
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: so happy to see Travis Hunter when the Heisman last year.

725
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, thank you, that is the best player. So

726
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: let's start there. If you're going to go play a

727
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: football game Sunday in Pittsburgh, you rather have a mir

728
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: Abdullah Beer starting running back or Riley Leonard Beier starting quarterback.

729
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: I'd probably I would rather have a mirror Abdullah be

730
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: my running back exactly.

731
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a fair KMDP valuable. How valuable

732
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 2: are you to the team, Daniel Jones more valuable Jonathan Taylor. Yes,

733
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: there's no debating that. But the best player is Jonathan Taylor.

734
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: He just happens to play a position that isn't super

735
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: valued in the league. And there's more drop off from

736
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: starting quarterback to backup in this league than there is

737
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: starting running back to backup running back. Hell, the Colts

738
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: have ed Jonathan Williams run for one hundred yards, you know,

739
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: when Taylor's miss games or you know whoever was missing

740
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: May of that was Marlon Mack. But anyways, that's where

741
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: I get in this argument of like, Okay, what does

742
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: MVP truly make. If it's the acronym, then you might

743
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: as well just call it a quarterback award. But if

744
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: it's the best player. Now, we talked Jonathan Taylor, and

745
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: we talked Puku Nakua before he got hurt, and we

746
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: talk you know whatever, b Jeon Robinson if he can,

747
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: you know, put up more of those numbers, or hal

748
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett, if if he played for any other team

749
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: not named the Browns, that's where I think it's really

750
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: really difficult with these awards, and I guess maybe that's

751
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: why we have Offensive Player.

752
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: Of the Year award.

753
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: I should say it's more of like a blend of

754
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: the two. Are you the are you the best player

755
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 4: on the best team, thus making you the most valuable?

756
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean now we're getting into some semantics with it.

757
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: Like to me, the Heisman Trophy has turned into before

758
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: Hunter had turned into are you a quarterback on a

759
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 2: top ten team that can chew gum? Like you didn't

760
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: really even have to put up that good at numbers. Yeah,

761
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: just if you you know, if you had a great

762
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: defense and whatever, a nice skilled player and you were

763
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback, you were sitting in.

764
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: Front row in New York for the Heisman trovies heremony.

765
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: I was team Ashton gent last year, so Jens or Hunter.

766
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: And you know that was one too, right if I'm

767
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 2: not a second, Yeah, I don't think cam Ward was

768
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: that high, so you know, but like I remember, Bejon

769
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: finished like ninth in the Heisman voting at Texas, and

770
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: it's like really like and we'll see whe Jeremiah Love

771
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 2: finishes this year. Like to me, he is certainly deserving

772
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: of at least an invite to New York. So that's

773
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: where I get frustrated again on But you're also biased, Kevin, Well, certainly,

774
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 2: But in this instance, what does MVP mean? Like, Jonathan

775
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: Taylor has been on this football team for a couple

776
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: of different years, and I get these battled injuries, but

777
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: the Cold Ti haven't looked like this.

778
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: It goes to show you just how much quarterback means.

779
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, as of right now, on one particular sportsbook, it's Mahomes,

780
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 4: Alan May, Stafford Love Jones, goth Mayfield, Taylor.

781
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'mbolic. I haven't watched my which of much in

782
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: New England, but Drake May has been incredible.

783
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 4: Oh, it's been fantastic. Outside of the one game in Pittsburgh, dude,

784
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: it has been as good as it comes. Right in

785
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 4: the NFL Twitter question number two is from Cameron. That's

786
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: so media saying the Colts haven't played anyone, But how

787
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 4: massive is it to be six and zero against the

788
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 4: AFC money in the bank for seeding slash tiebreakers? And

789
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: this is me in putting something here, Kevin. To Cameron's point,

790
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos have only lost two games and the

791
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: Chargers are a competent team. What do you mean they

792
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 4: haven't played anybody.

793
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: Well, and I'll say that's how big was that Broncos win? Baby?

794
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 3: Right?

795
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: What was the penalty leverage? Leaping?

796
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding. Leaping was the Monday nine.

797
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: Game eeping with Simon Rice?

798
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

799
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, leverage. I mean, I'll go back what I said

800
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: to lead off the show. Winning home games, you know,

801
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 2: and one of the longest playoff drouts in the NFL.

802
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: Right now, you were four games under five hundred at home.

803
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, in that stretch.

804
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 2: So you know, as far as the last part is concerned,

805
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: you know, in terms of whatever national media sancles, I'm

806
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: played in one, okay whatever, Yes, to your point, Denver

807
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: and the Chargers, the Rams. I We're about to see

808
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: a shift in schedule, and it's mostly in location, to

809
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: be honest with you. I mean it's definitely in composition

810
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: as well. But like I want to say, six of

811
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: your last nine are away from home. I'm trying to

812
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: think what your home games are? Home games, Houston, San Francisco. Yeah,

813
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: so you know again you don't play home games laughter.

814
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving football, by the way, for San Francis, right, it's

815
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 2: your only home game between now and now in December

816
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: twenty second, which is kind of crazy.

817
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 4: So because they lose the home game to Atlanta.

818
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I am ready to see the shift and

819
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: like you are going up a wrong on the ladder now,

820
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: I want to be clear, just because you're going up

821
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: with a wrong on the ladder doesn't mean like the

822
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: course should be discredited for what.

823
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: They've done on the other rungs.

824
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like no, they've done things that a they don't

825
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: usually do and be many teams don't usually do you know.

826
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: I'll go back to that point differential stat that throughout

827
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: you a few weeks ago, through.

828
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: The first x amount of weeks of the year. But

829
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: like these types.

830
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: Of games are more January like on the horizon, you know,

831
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: particularly you know at Kansas City or at Seattle or

832
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: you know, whatever Jacksonville's going to be.

833
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: We'll see exactly what San Francisco looks like when you

834
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: get to them.

835
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: But I'm just kind of looking forward to it, Like

836
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, do you ever have this nervous energy

837
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 2: for your team ady of like you know you're a

838
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: huge Reds fan. Yeah, it's like facing whatever the cubs

839
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: of the Brewers in a series. Yep, sure you'd rather

840
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: play the bottom feeder. There's a part of you, but

841
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: as a fan you're like, no, no, no, I circle

842
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: that one a little bit more and yeah, we might

843
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 2: lose it, or it might be more nerve wracking, or

844
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: it might be harder to win. But like, that's being

845
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: a competitor. And that's kind of how I feel about

846
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: the shift of the schedule starting now. It's like, all right,

847
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: here we go. You know, it's a little bit more

848
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: of let's put the big boy pants on and not

849
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 2: much of a why are the Colts and Titans at

850
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: four to twenty five? Because that's the only question I

851
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: got last week from people.

852
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 4: I'm not aware of this to wor Kevin, So if

853
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 4: you can explain it to me. This is the final

854
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 4: question of the Twitter question portion of the podcast for today.

855
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 4: It's from Turp. I know it's more than likely going

856
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 4: to end up being a quote best Tackle Award, but

857
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 4: where are your thoughts on Big Q getting the first

858
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: Protector of the Year award.

859
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not super familiar on the history of it,

860
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: but you know, I know in college they do the

861
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: Joe Moral Award for the best offensive line, you know,

862
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: to me the Colts should.

863
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: Be right up there, and I was glad.

864
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: You know, I thought to myself, you know, the Colts

865
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is not necessarily the greatest whatever radio interview.

866
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: So I was thinking to myself as the game moved on, Hey,

867
00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: you know who would be good to kind of talk

868
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: about this Colts offensive success. And I hope you guys

869
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: enjoyed Tanner because I didn't think he's a great voice,

870
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: and frankly, I think he deserves credit. I was glad

871
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: to see CBS featured him a little bit there on

872
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: the Tyler Warren screen and the great block that he had,

873
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: because you know what he has done, what Tony Sprownter

874
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: junior's position coach, has done. And really one thing that's

875
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: been so key I haven't talked about at all, Pod,

876
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: but I'll sneak it in here, Eddie, just your overall

877
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: health of your O line.

878
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, correct if I'm wrong.

879
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: But the only game you've lost this season is the

880
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 2: only game your on line hasn't been intact. Right, was

881
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: that gonzolves his toe injury against the Rams?

882
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

883
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm pretty sure that's right.

884
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: I believe it's the only game missed. So again, it

885
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 2: just kind of goes to show to you what obviously

886
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: a good offensive line, but also a healthy offensive line

887
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: means to your football team. There, So yeah, I think

888
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: more than just just Nelson.

889
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 4: Honestly, anything else you'd like to have that a word.

890
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 4: By the way, was just introduced in twenty twenty five,

891
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: So this is year number two for it.

892
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: Got it?

893
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: Actually no, this was year number one. I'm an idiot.

894
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm not super familiar with.

895
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 4: All these awards here, but it's the.

896
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: NFL Honor Show, doesn't program itself.

897
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was introduced for the twenty twenty five season,

898
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: recognizing the league's best offensive lineman. The award aims to

899
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 4: shine a light on the critical role of offensive lineman

900
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: in the game, who often received little recognition outside of

901
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl and All Pro nods. The winner will be

902
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 4: determined by a panel of former offensive line greats, and

903
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 4: the award is seen as a long overdue recognition for

904
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: the work of these players.

905
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: He is Eddi Garrison. I am Kevin Bowen. Thank you
