Speaker 2: You're gonna bankrupt your mama's company.

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:08,720

Speaker 4: Second down and goal at the one again, Jones under

00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 4: center takes the snap, trying to put the ball across

10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 4: the goal line.

11
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: There's the sentinel.

Speaker 1: In touch down.

15
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 4: The second year quarterback has time, walks it downfield and.

16
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 5: It is an open.

17
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 4: Crow and it's intercepted by camp bight up. Denver leads

18
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 4: by two, twenty eight to twenty six. This first field

19
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: goal try today, this one is up, has plenty of

20
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 4: leg miss down he missed.

21
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: It, hit off the right, up right. He picked it

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: off the right, upright.

23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: A sixty yard field goal from Spencer Strader Sanchez to

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: put it down, snap placement kick. It's on its way,

25
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: headed for the uprights, and it is no gug.

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 6: Kind of disappointing myself because I felt the pressure coming

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 6: from whatever side while look at it on film and

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 6: I thought, man, like, I just let the environment get

29
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 6: to me a little bit.

30
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: And then I saw the flag.

31
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: Personal size Beverage Defense number ninety six. Wow.

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: I thought about a cuss down. Oh man leaping? What

33
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: in the warp crawls? What kind of a call is that?

34
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: Short mentality?

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 6: Next kick, I was like, okay, reset, think about it

36
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 6: like you know what to do. Just treat it like

37
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 6: an extra point, ultimate faith and Luke and Rigo you

38
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 6: know that they're going to do their job. And kept

39
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 6: my eyes down and knocked it through for the team.

40
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: Sand chance to put it down. There's the snap kicks

41
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: on its way head. It put the uppunts and.

42
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,880

44
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: the Colts.

45
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: The call twin twenty nine, twenty.

46
00:01:53,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 8: Eight ball game d why great, gutsy, gritty team win performance.

47
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 8: Some things to clean up, but to get two back

48
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 8: to back wins at home in front of our home crowd.

49
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 8: The atmosphere out there was electric, crowd showed up, it

50
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 8: was awesome.

51
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: We got to go do it again.

52
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: So that's how it sounded yesterday and as well, back

53
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: to and I cannot be the only one that thought it.

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor on the call for the Colts Radio Network,

55
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Shane Steich and you heard him afterwards, Spencer Schrader as well,

56
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: and al Michaels from the only other time. And I

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: know that leverage and leaping by technicality are slightly different.

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: One is using I think like your arms to leverage

59
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: you or pull you up. The other is actually stepping

60
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: on a player to leap off of them. But the

61
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: only other time that I've ever and maybe I just

62
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: have not watched the football, maybe I have a short memory.

63
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever heard that kind of

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: a play was in two thousand and three. You got

65
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: to go all the way back then. But of course,

66
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: probably the most famous regular season road game in Colt's history,

67
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Miracle, when Simeon Rice, who later would

68
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: become a cult was whistled for leaping in that play

69
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: for Mike Vanderjet. Al Michaels with the incredulous like, what

70
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: in the world is that? And I think a lot

71
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: of people thought that yesterday. But the Colt's gonna win.

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: They are two and zero. And I thought about this

73
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: as the game was unfolding yesterday what we saw and

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: you know what Colts fans look, You could say what

75
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: you want, look a gift, Bronco in the mouth, whatever

76
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: you want to say. Bottom line is the Colts are

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: two and oh. There are only so many teams in

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the National Football League already that are still unblemished, and

79
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: the Colts are one of them, and they are leading

80
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: their division. They have an opportunity, and I think you

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: would say an excellent opportunity to start out three and

82
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: oh and really put themselves in dare I say it

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: a position of leverage within the division. And there were

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: several areas where you saw how this is a different

85
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Colts team and how this year is going to be different.

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Two games, there's not a season make It's easy to

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: look at game three and say, okay, three and zero

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: and then things get interesting. But part of the maturation

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: of a franchise, part of the growth of a team

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: is taking everything one game at a time and not

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: looking too far ahead. And tennessee on paper and I

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but that you know,

93
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that could be the proverbial quote unquote trap game. And

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: if they go in and take care of business in

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: that game. Then that is a sign of growth, but

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: so too the following And this is what I thought

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: about yesterday late in that game, and you all saw

98
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: it when Jonathan Taylor did Jonathan Taylor things. And the

99
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: way that Jonathan Taylor was, you know, obviously utilizing him

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: in the passing game, not something that we expected to

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: necessarily be talking a lot about a you know, a

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: sixty eight yard run, and not once, but twice situations

103
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: where he got around the edge and he's going over

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: twenty two miles an hour and you know, and he's

105
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: in distance and he's in space, and he's down the

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: sideline and you're like, here you go. And every time,

107
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: and especially early in the first quarter when he had

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: the one big play where he's running down the sideline

109
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and I said it, and Chris Woodlock in the press

110
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: box said it. I mean, I think at the same

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: time both of us like, don't drop the ball, you know, haha.

112
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: Right.

113
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: But if you think about a year ago the Colts

114
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: and the things that cost them games is they made

115
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: mistakes that cost them games. They were careless. They had

116
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: that situation of Jonathan Taylor dropping the ball, and yes,

117
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I know yesterday they had eleven penalties, eleven penalties that

118
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: exceeded by one, I believe last year's total within a game,

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and they've got to, dare I say it, clean that up.

120
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: But even with eleven penalties, what did they not do yesterday?

121
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: What did they not do yesterday? They did not turn

122
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: the ball over, They were not careless with the football

123
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: through two games, zero turnovers for the Colts offense tick.

124
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: And they did not punt. Rigoberto Sanchez has the best

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: job in Indianapolis holding footballs, holding footballs and on a

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: miss getting able to hold them again. But my point

127
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: is this, Yesterday the Colts found themselves in a position where,

128
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: partially because of at times some missteps defensively and maybe

129
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: because of their excessive penalties, they were facing defeat. And

130
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: there have been numerous Colts teams of the past that

131
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: that game was over. But maybe just yesterday, for once,

132
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: the football gods actually shone down upon them and gave

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: them that second lease on life. Because when it came

134
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: down to it, it was Denver and not Indianapolis that

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: made the critical mistake, and it was Denver and not

136
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis that made the critical penalty, and the Colts got

137
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: a second chance, and they took advantage of that second

138
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: chance with that field goal. But in a game that

139
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: symbolized the reawakening of the Jonathan Taylor drop at the

140
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: goal line, you now had a situation where they were

141
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: not going to make the same errors twice. And when

142
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 1: it came down to it, it was the other team

143
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: that made the critical mistake that cost the game, and

144
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: the Colts took advantage of that. And they are playing. Yes,

145
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: they had the penalties, and we can get into that

146
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: and we will nitpick that. And yes, they had areas

147
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: in particular defensively where I thought that they You know,

148
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: obviously Xavier Howard yesterday was wolf is correct. I mean,

149
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: he was completely on his own island. But Nick Cross

150
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: played really well. Who's going to join the show today?

151
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: By the way, in the two o'clock hour, Nick Cross

152
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: will join us today. Nick Cross played well. One of

153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: the things that I like about the cult, Yes, you

154
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: would like to see your leading tacklers in a game

155
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: be nothing but your defensive tackles, because it means nobody's

156
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: getting beyond that, right, but their defense, right lou Ana

157
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Roumo's defense right now, I think still it kind of

158
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: hits you from all areas, and they they probably did

159
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a step backward yesterday. But Denver,

160
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying bo Nicks by any stretch of

161
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: the imagination is Josh Allen here. I'm not saying he's

162
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. But I do think that Denver offensively, you know,

163
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's a pretty bright offensive mind. And so you

164
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: had a little bit bigger test. And if there was

165
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: an area of concern yesterday for the Colts, it was

166
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: that defense. But at times, and you know, they got

167
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: gashed early with the run game, et cetera. But what

168
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday were the two things, the first of

169
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: which I mentioned, and that is that they waited until

170
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and yes it was the last play of the game,

171
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: but they were able to take advantage this time of

172
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: a game changing costly error by Denver as opposed to Indianapolis. Secondly,

173
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen and you have to live by the rule

174
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: and not the exception if you want to be successful

175
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: in life. And yesterday they got away with one because

176
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: they kind of got away with the exception, which was

177
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: they did not manage the clock well. And I didn't

178
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: think they play called well in the final stretch there,

179
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: what did they go five of seven on the ground

180
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: when you have and you're trying to get it and

181
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: they got bailed out because of the penalty, But you

182
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: cannot overlook the fact that that game could have been

183
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: thrown away because they didn't throw the ball. And yes,

184
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: I know that clock comes into play and you don't

185
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: want Denver to have time to get the ball back.

186
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: I get all those things. And they had run the ball, well,

187
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: I get that as well. But when you have some

188
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: of the weapons that the Colts have, notably Tyler Warren,

189
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: and you're trying in the intermediary and where in the

190
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: world did this come from? Where all of a sudden

191
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: now like Alec Pierce is not a long ball but

192
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: rather like an over the middle threat. And Josh Downs

193
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: as well, played really well. Goes without saying those we've

194
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: talked about it. I've mentioned it for Daniel Jones. Those

195
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: layup rhythm guys are so important, and Daniel Jones has

196
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: shown that he can be that just lay up rhythm guy,

197
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: and late in the game when you need to just

198
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: get not twenty, but just get a couple plays of

199
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: four to six yards two of them to get you

200
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: within the proper more secure range, and they got away

201
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: from that. And that certainly is something that again they

202
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: got away with it yesterday. But I think you got

203
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: to go with the rule as opposed to the exception.

204
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: The rule is you go with what works for you.

205
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: And I thought that was questionable. But in yin and

206
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: yang conversation, if you are looking at Shane Steikeen and

207
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: you are properly analyzing and surveying it yesterday, you have

208
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: to again go back to this. And I promise you,

209
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: I promise you. Eventually, this storyline, it's already starting to

210
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: fade away a little bit. It's already starting to go

211
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: away a little bit. And that's the storyline of the quarterback.

212
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: This town now knows. They are Daniel Jones believers, baby

213
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes. This town believes in it right. And the

214
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Shane steiken when he made that decision, it was not

215
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: without scrutiny or controversy of going away from the big

216
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: play of Anthony Richardson. But we are two games in now,

217
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: and Anthony Richardson has become this with the exception of

218
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: maybe me on the radio, you know, almost out of sight,

219
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: out of mind, and what we saw yesterday was another

220
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: example of Shane Steiken and I'm going to spare we're

221
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: going to take away that last drive and the scrutiny

222
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: thereof and the fair critique of the way they play

223
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: called on that last possession. But for the majority of

224
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: that game yesterday, what you again saw and what you're

225
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: hoping for to be the case over the course of

226
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: this season is a coach quarterback combination that is working.

227
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: And then it's working because they are playing within the

228
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: parameters of what they need. And you know, a Ferrari

229
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: is an unbelievable car, precision speed zero to sixty like

230
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: nobody's business. But if you have a Ferrari and you're

231
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: trying to drive it on four sixty five or god

232
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: forbid any of the downtown streets yesterday with all the

233
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: construction going on, then all of a sudden, you punch

234
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: it too heavy and it's you know, the back end

235
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: steps out on you and you're Roberto Guerrero at And

236
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: I think that Anthony Richardson to an extent, the way

237
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: that he plays, that's what you know that the potential

238
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: is there for wide open, holy cow sleek speed and

239
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: fabulous optics at quarterback. But when you are in traffic

240
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to keep things moving along, or

241
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: if you're on the Interstate at seventy miles an hour

242
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: in the second to left lane, you just want to

243
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: make sure that you're staying within your lane and that

244
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: everything's running smoothly. And that's what Daniel Jones does. Although

245
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: he did air it out a little bit yesterday, he

246
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: did show the alarm, but I think the marriage between

247
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: Shane Steiken looked at this roster, looks at the weapons

248
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: they have between Taylor and Warren and then Downs and

249
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: I guess you could now say Pierce as well, the

250
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: way that they're kind of mixing him in there with

251
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: the the intermediary stuff. Daniel Jones is the guy that

252
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: they know their success is just keeping it right there,

253
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: straight and narrow and not trying to get too fancy

254
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: and hit the accelerator too fast for all of a

255
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: sudden you spent out. And the marriage between the way

256
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: that Shane Steiken is calling games and the way Daniel

257
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: Jones is operating that offense right now through two games,

258
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: it is working, and that is that shows why Shane

259
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Steiken was hired in that position because he was hired

260
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: because he was a quarterbacks coach, and yes, it was

261
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: a different quarterback that they thought they were going to

262
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: be able to grow with. But yesterday, at the end

263
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: of that game represented so far what this franchise has

264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: done this year, and that is this. They had an

265
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to win that game with the field goal and

266
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: they missed. They had an opportunity to win that game

267
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: with a kick that everybody knew. We don't know whether

268
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: or not a guy's going to be able to hit

269
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: from this far out, but if he does, man, it

270
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a storyline and it's going to

271
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: be electric, and the roof's going to blow off this place.

272
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: And they missed, but they got a second lease, and

273
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: they got a second lease with a kick that is

274
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: a little more conservative, a little higher percentage, a little

275
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: safer because you move it up after the leverage play.

276
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: And that symbolizes why the Colts are two and oh,

277
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: because they had an opportunity with their coach, who is

278
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback whisperer, to win with a quarterback that everybody knew.

279
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: There was a risk and it wasn't the easiest, but

280
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: if it hit, it was going to be electric, and

281
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: it was going to be unique, and it was going

282
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: to be a rare breed and it was going to

283
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: blow the roof off. And they selected Anthony Richardson and

284
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: try to make it work, and they missed. And then

285
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: they got a second lease, and they got the second

286
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: lease from Daniel Jones who was available. They gave him

287
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: a one year, thirteen million dollar deal. And two games

288
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: does not a season make. But there's no reason to

289
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: believe that with the protection that they're able to give him,

290
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: with the running back behind them, and with the weapons

291
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: that they have around him, that they are not able

292
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: now to continue to do this now, Tennessee, and you're

293
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: if you win that, you're you're three to oh and

294
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: then it gets a little more real, admittedly, but you

295
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: have to win the games that you're supposed to win.

296
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: And yesterday was one that was a fifty to fifty game. Now, Eddie,

297
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: you and I are two of the like what maybe

298
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: three or four of us within the building here that

299
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: selected the Colts to win that game? Is that right?

300
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: It was about half and half?

301
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: Right?

302
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 9: I think it was pretty close to half and half.

303
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, But it was a great win for them. And

304
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: we're going to talk plenty about it. I asked yesterday

305
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: my proverbial question of give me the three words, what

306
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: is the three word headline?

307
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 9: It was you, Me, James Boyd, Brindy King, and Nick

308
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 9: Cotton Gym.

309
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: We are the way, And I mean everybody had it

310
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: within like a field goal eat away. It's not like

311
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: people were expecting them to get blown out. But that

312
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: was a coin flip game, and I think it came

313
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: down to obviously a coin flip situation. But when it

314
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: came down to it, the Colts finally had football karma

315
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: on their side, where this time they allowed the other

316
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: team to make the mistake. And there are areas that

317
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: they need to know and we will discuss. Joel Erickson

318
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: is going to join us, coming up here about thirty

319
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: five minutes and we'll go over and we'll discuss the

320
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: areas where they could, you know, potentially hurt themselves or

321
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: areas that they need to improve upon. But there's a

322
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: lot to like about what happened yesterday as well. Tyler

323
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: Warren continues to show when I asked the question of

324
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: give me your three words to describe the way that

325
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: you feel about the Colts through two games, and Jason

326
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Maimie I hope I'm saying the last name correct. His

327
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: three words Warren as advertised, totally agree, Totally agree. Dave Lindquist,

328
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: fabulous music critic in town. Also just overall good dude.

329
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: Offensive weapons abound, he said, totally agree. I feel like

330
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: Warren's even been better than as advertised. That's fair.

331
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 9: Almost every snap offensively for them yesterday, and there were

332
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 9: times where I was very, very impressed with his blocking,

333
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 9: And that was the one knock on him outside of

334
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 9: just how he would look in the open field at

335
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 9: the NFL level, he made dudes missing the open field yesterday.

336
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 9: His blocking was terrific and only going up from here.

337
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: You know, the thing about Tyler Warren to me that

338
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: is the most impressive is not only how he is

339
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: like this old school throwback tight end in terms of,

340
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Jeremy Shockey Mark Bavaro run you over

341
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: type guy, but also he has that Dallas Clark break

342
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: right where he can make me do a quick turn

343
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: and yard after catch. But in addition to that, now

344
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I think he has shown a pretty good ability to

345
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: make the difficult on the run catch right over the

346
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: shoulder catch. I mean, he has receiver like tendencies as well,

347
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: and you can obviously slot him wherever you want. But

348
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: it was yesterday we should celebrate all day, to be

349
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: honest with you, because it's been a long time coming.

350
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: There were records set. I mean they set a record now.

351
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: They are what the first team in the Super Bowl

352
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: era to go two games without a punt. They set

353
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: the record for most consecutive possessions with a scoring resulting

354
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: in scoring with ten straight. Whoever would have guessed that?

355
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Whoever would have guessed it? But I think the thing

356
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: is they are and yesterday, Yes, the penalties are dangerous,

357
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: but they are playing with a very clear understanding of

358
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: their own limitation. And by understanding their own limitation, they

359
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: are actually the Colts are expanding and breaking through and

360
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: pushing even further out what their limitations are because they

361
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: are increasing the possibilities for them over the course of

362
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: the year. We will talk plenty about it and the

363
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: rest of the league coming up. On the other side,

364
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: also college football. To discuss Indiana on Friday night, Now, Eddie,

365
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: we both said that we expected them to double that

366
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: point spread, right. I thought I.

367
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 9: Took them to cover talking about Indiana, but you I

368
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 9: took Indiana. We were taking Indiana State like they'll get

369
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 9: ten points. Yeah, you also took Cleveland to cover and

370
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 9: look how that turned out.

371
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: That looked okay for a long time there and then

372
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore threw down the accelerator. But but from a college standpoint, obviously,

373
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: you know for Indiana. Now big one coming up with Illinois,

374
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: and we will talk about what we learned against Indiana State,

375
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: how much you learned. I look, I love Kurt Mallory

376
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: and I like Indiana State, but I but I don't

377
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: know how much of that did that game tell us

378
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: more about Indiana or about the Sycamores? You know what

379
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean? I mean that's I think.

380
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 9: That there's a third door that you didn't open, drink

381
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 9: and it's a seat nothing. Yeah, we didn't learn anything, right,

382
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 9: I don't think we learned anything. I think it was

383
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 9: more so Zach Osterman said on Friday, and he was

384
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 9: viewing the first three games of the season for IUS

385
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 9: preseason games to kind of get them ready for the

386
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 9: Big ten schedule, to hopefully get guys into a bit

387
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 9: of a groove. And hopefully that's the case. Your first

388
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 9: wheel test, I have to go back and find it.

389
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 9: It was like some first time since like the nineteen

390
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 9: something or another. The Top A top ten teen is

391
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 9: coming to Bloomington, and the Hoosiers are also ranked. Illinois

392
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 9: Saturday night seven, I think they're ninth. Notre Dame is

393
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 9: now zero and two, they are twenty fourth. I saw

394
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 9: that and that was a fabulous game with Texas A

395
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 9: and M, and you know, for the fighting irish.

396
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I still believe Notre Dame has a chance

397
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: in the playoff because if they if they went out

398
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: from here out, but you know now they have zero

399
00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: margin for error. But they they're defensively, they're susceptible to

400
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: big chunk plays and A and M had some you know,

401
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: some in space guys as well that they took advantage of.

402
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: But credit to Texas A and M. That's a tough

403
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: environment and late in that game to come in and

404
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: get that and that the touchdown they had on I

405
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: believe it was fourth. Wasn't the fourth and goal, you know,

406
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: with inside fifteen seconds, but Notre Dame o and two

407
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: and then Purdue I thought perdue. Actually, I love rosse

408
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: at night. I love it, and that's tough to sit

409
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: there and have to go through. That's sort of a

410
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: weather delay and then come back out and play the game,

411
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and I thought Purdue looked okay. I mean, they had

412
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: one incredible, miraculous you know play the red zone deficiencies

413
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: and that's an area with the Colts as well that

414
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: we can discuss, and that is getting into the red

415
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: zone and not getting touchdowns out of it. In the

416
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: Colts case, they make good on it because they at

417
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: least get three, but perdue in terms of red zone

418
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: turnovers and areas that it just but they never to

419
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: let it get totally away from them, which is good

420
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: and for Purdue that is a step forward. Fever yesterday

421
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: obviously dropping in Atlanta, they are down now love one

422
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: in the WNBA playoffs. They are here on Tuesday night

423
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: and they must win situation because it is best of three,

424
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: and we can get into that later as well. But

425
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: when we return, I would like to know this from you.

426
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: I will read off some of the three word answers

427
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: on your impressions of the Colts through two games. And

428
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: it's just two games, but we may as well celebrate

429
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: it a little bit because it's been a long time.

430
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: It's been since two thousand and nine when the Colts

431
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: started out fourteen and zero and they are. It has

432
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: been that long since you could say that they were.

433
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, it was eleven straight years before they

434
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: were even one to zero. So you now have a

435
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: two and zero football team. We should celebrate it. It's

436
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: been a long time. Let's party like it's two thousand

437
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: and nine. Baby. Your thoughts on it as well. On

438
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: the other side, we will engage in that on a

439
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: celebratory Monday for the Colts two through nine, ten seventy.

440
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: The telephone number that is the text line number Joel

441
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Erickson coming up one o'clock today, Nick Cross, one of

442
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: the defensive stars yesterday, You're gonna join us two o'clock

443
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: hour here Monday edition. It is quarying company on the fan.

444
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: Interesting when I look this up, this is the last

445
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: or i should say, the song that was number one

446
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: on the Billboard charts the last time the Colts started

447
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: out two and zero. And the interesting fun fact about

448
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: this song from the Black Eyed Peas is it remained

449
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: number one for fourteen weeks, which is the number of

450
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: weeks the Colts were unbeaten in the two thousand and

451
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: nine NFL season when they began fourteen and zero.

452
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 9: Week then it wasn't no longer number one. Jake is

453
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 9: the reason why the Colts obviously lost that game.

454
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: Right, that is exactly correct. Yes, that's why we went

455
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: the tinfoil hat there so I could look up who

456
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: it was that unseeded them.

457
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 9: Oh, wasn't it? Was it not the Jets?

458
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, yes it was the Jets for the Colts, but

459
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: down by Jay scene featuring Lil Wayne was the song

460
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: that unseeded I got a feeling. Okay, nine ten seventy.

461
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: If you got a feeling about the Colts two three

462
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: nine one zero seven zero, you can call in with

463
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: your celebration. You can call in with your concern. You

464
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: can call in to tell me that I am either

465
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: too optimistic or pessimistic, whatever it may be. Before we

466
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: do that, while you get a chance to call in,

467
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: I will read off some of the great headlines that

468
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: I asked yesterday. Your three words to describe the way

469
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: that you're feeling about the Colts through two weeks of

470
00:27:54,119 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: this football season. This from Brian Taylor, correct quarterback decision.

471
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: I like this from Caleb Aar at slot. You gotta

472
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: wonder how long it's going to be before that comes

473
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: into play, Right, This from Moe Colts Christmas September. I'm

474
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: telling you people are pumped, right, But then again, who's

475
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: your hardwood? His three words? Ready for letdown? Come on

476
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: now all right? Two thro nine ten seventy the telephone

477
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: number Jonah, I knew jonahuld be lined up. What's up Jonah?

478
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

479
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 10: What made you guess that one?

480
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: Jake?

481
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: Were you at the game?

482
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: No?

483
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 7: I was not.

484
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 10: I had my daughter with me, so I didn't go

485
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 10: through the game.

486
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Okay, thoughts on it.

487
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 10: Well, there's a lot of other reason to be optimistic.

488
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't think you're overly optimistic about it.

489
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 10: We played Denver's defense that was ranked one of the

490
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 10: best in the NFL and threw up over four hundred

491
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 10: yards against them, which is a very promising sign.

492
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 11: And I just love.

493
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 10: How our offense, our player, the players know their roles.

494
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: And of course, you know, you can't.

495
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 10: Say enough about Tyler Warren.

496
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 12: You know, it's something the Colts have been missing for

497
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 12: the last few years as a security blay get tight end,

498
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 12: and not only a security blay get tight end. But he's,

499
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 12: in might opinion, he's gonna be a leite. Well he's

500
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 12: got one catch.

501
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Oh, Warren is already I mean, I think he's already elite, honestly,

502
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, you know, I thought

503
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: yesterday Zach Keiper said it best. I appreciate the call.

504
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Joonana Zach Keeper said it best where he was like,

505
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren is already a dude in this league. Yeah,

506
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, yes, it's week number two and you're

507
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: putting Denver. They put the AP defensive Player of the

508
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Year on him. They put Pat Surtan on Tyler Warren

509
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: yesterday in his second professional game. Yeah, I mean, he

510
00:29:53,400 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: look like I said, he and that that area, Okay,

511
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: he and that area of the field open up everything, right,

512
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: That opens up everything for them in terms of offensively.

513
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: And you could say that Daniel Jones, that they're being

514
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: overly conservative. But you establish Warren early and then what happens,

515
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, everything is gravitated towards Warren

516
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: and you got to keep an eye on him, and

517
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: then you get Alec Pierce streaking in and then you

518
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: get you know what I mean, like everybody else that

519
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Downs yesterday. What was interesting was they

520
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: brought Downs early into the mix, and if you look

521
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: at Denver and the way they blitzed, Denver was able to.

522
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: If there was an area of concern for the Colts,

523
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: that would be the fact that their edge was very

524
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: soft and the Colts were able to get through and

525
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: blitz or excuse me, the Broncos were able to get

526
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: through and blitz often. But Jones eventually was able to

527
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: offset that by yes, that heat was coming, but then

528
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: he was immediately getting the quick release and downs is

529
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: so big in that in Pierce as well, and for

530
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: what lack of protection they may have had, Daniel Jones'

531
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: ability to quick think and get rid of the football

532
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: was what was the difference in terms of being able

533
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: to overcome that aggression from Denver's defense. Bo, Hey, Bo,

534
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: what's up?

535
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 7: Not much?

536
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 13: Thank you for taking my call. Love listening to your show.

537
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: Well you and my mom. That's two people, Bo, and

538
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: so that's appreciated. What's on your mind?

539
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 13: So I don't want to be the poo pooh parade here,

540
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 13: but I was at the game. I told my seat mate,

541
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 13: my tickets season to older seat mate that if we

542
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 13: win the game by a field goal, and this was

543
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 13: way before any of the end of the game, drama.

544
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 13: It'll feel like a loss to me. And the reason

545
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 13: why is because of the lack of aggressive this in

546
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 13: I know the media, everybody is high five and everything's great.

547
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 13: I can't wait to go to the next game. Myself,

548
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 13: I'm amped up. But to the guy before that said

549
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 13: waiting for the letdown, I feel like that's the reason

550
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 13: why people are always waiting for the letdown. And it

551
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 13: feels like it's all Indiana sports to be honest, perdue,

552
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 13: are you, etc. Play not to win a play or

553
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 13: not to lose sorry, instead of the win the game,

554
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 13: Shane wasn't aggressive enough in his play calling at the

555
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 13: end of the game, and it was extremely disappointing to watch.

556
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 13: I would also reference Johnson Taylor's amazing run the one

557
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 13: the catch in the first half to run out of

558
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 13: bounds or get hit out of bounds without trying to

559
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 13: say in bounds that's fine. In the second quarter, there's

560
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 13: a lot of game time left when you are working

561
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 13: and chipping away and getting one two three yard games

562
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 13: and then you break one. I want to see him

563
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 13: lower his shoulder and try to get into the end

564
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 13: zone as best as possible. If he does, then he doesn't.

565
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 13: But I want to see the effort. I don't like

566
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 13: Daniel Jones running out of bounds had the ten yard

567
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 13: vine without making that effort. Jonathan Taylor was there trying

568
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 13: to blatform.

569
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh, there is no doubt you referenced bo and I

570
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it. By the way, I appreciate the cond words

571
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: as well. You referenced the college aspect of it in

572
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: terms of like college football teams this weekend. One area

573
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: if and I mentioned it earlier. You look at Purdue

574
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: on Saturday night against USC, you look at the Colts yesterday.

575
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: One thing that is a common threat amongst those two

576
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: is you need to eventually begin with a higher rate

577
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: on both sides when you get in the red zone.

578
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: You've got to capitalize it into touchdowns. In today's NFL

579
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: you just do. And look, Denver is not. You know,

580
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: they're getting ready. They will see the Colts will some

581
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: pretty potent offenses this year. I think the Chargers you

582
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: can say that about. I think the Rams you can

583
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: probably say that about, you know, Kansas City, even though

584
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: they're zero to two. I think are they really going

585
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: to continue the streak here? Where Patrick Mahomes has never

586
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: beaten the Colts and that's going to continue this year.

587
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: But boys, that's so far down the road, right, So

588
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: those in those areas, you know, you have to be

589
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: able to capitalize and get maximum points when they are

590
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: available to you. There, we'll continue the conversation with it.

591
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: MO stick around, Rob stick around. Joela Erickson coming up

592
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: in eighteen. So the Colts unblemished through two games. It

593
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: is Christmas in September. According to our next caller, Mo

594
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: it joins US two three, nine, ten seventy the telephone

595
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 1: number Joela ericson in twelve, Mo, what's up?

596
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 14: Not a whole lot, just a wonderful day. I just

597
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 14: get through a couple of things. It's pretty pretty neat

598
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 14: up here in northwest Ohio where I'm about the only

599
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 14: Colts fan. Everybody else's Lions and Tigers and Bears and

600
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 14: oh my and all that.

601
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: But we're we're pretty we're pretty high here.

602
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Now. I wanted to.

603
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 14: I wanted to give a couple first off, the negatives.

604
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 14: There were some negatives. Obviously, all games, this is like

605
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 14: the first three or four games are like preseason games

606
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 14: in a sense until you get things worked out. And

607
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 14: we had a lot of penalties and mistakes and probably

608
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 14: the last at the end of the game, they kind

609
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 14: of took the keys away from Jones and kind of

610
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 14: got a little bit conservative, But there were too many

611
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 14: more positives, like Amarumo's adjustment. When Howard was getting cooked

612
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 14: a little bit, he did some things and we hadn't

613
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 14: seen that on the defensive end for a long time,

614
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 14: and I think he did some things to take care

615
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 14: of that. The biggest thing was the Colts will to fight,

616
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 14: and they got down and they kept fighting back and

617
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 14: they did it the whole game. And then the other

618
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 14: one was the fans were awesome from beginning to end,

619
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 14: and they just stayed in it. They didn't leave early.

620
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 14: They were there to the end, and that was just awesome.

621
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 14: It was crazy just leaving the place and getting out

622
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 14: in the streets of how packed it was sevent eight

623
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 14: o'clock at night.

624
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: Now now part of that mode. Part of the reason

625
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: it's so packed is because the seventy eight percent of

626
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: the streets in downtown Indianapolis are now closed due to construction.

627
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: That that's part of why the streets were so packed.

628
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: I can't no. You listen, You're right about especially Shane

629
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: Steich and late going conservative taking the keys. If you

630
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: will a little bit out of Daniel Jones' hands. He

631
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: had basically said, and I do get this thought, which was,

632
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: I didn't want to give Denver a chance to get

633
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: the ball back and come down and convert right, or

634
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to take it down to the

635
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: And I get it. I want to take this down

636
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: to the absolute final play. And it comes down to

637
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: which do you think gives yourself the better odds. Do

638
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: you feel better about kicking, say a fifty five yarder

639
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: or do you feel better about your defense not getting

640
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: Denver back in position to win the game. And that's

641
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like fouling up up to

642
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: or up three, you know what I mean? In basketball?

643
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: Which way do you feel better about it? And I

644
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: understand Shane Steichen. I'm not saying he's right, and I

645
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: understand the critique of it, but I also get him

646
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: thinking to himself, we put ourselves in better position. I like,

647
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: if I look at Schrader and I know he's kicking

648
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: a fifty five plus yard field goal, I like our

649
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: chances at that better than I do at this point.

650
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: The way I feel about our defense not letting them

651
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: through a couple of quick strikes get back into field

652
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: goal range themselves. That clearly was his thought process. Terry,

653
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: Terry your thoughts.

654
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: Two things.

655
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 15: Number One One thing you don't do in the NFL

656
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 15: is let a dangerous team hang around, and Colts may

657
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 15: be dangerous. Two, the reason we go to these games

658
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 15: is we want to be entertained. And I got to

659
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 15: tell you the last two games, Lot against Miami and

660
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 15: the nail bier yesterday, I was entertained the whole time,

661
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 15: shouting the whole time, booing referees like I've never bow

662
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 15: it before for those no calls and then calling us

663
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 15: against a past interference.

664
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 3: It's just it was fun. That's why we go.

665
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool, and you know, Terry, to be fair.

666
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: And I don't mean this not because they weren't winning,

667
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: but there had been I think at times some doldrums

668
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: in that building where it just got stale over the

669
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I don't mean that to pile

670
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: on of it not being fun, but there were times

671
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: where like just that overall, you are correct, and Mo

672
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: mentioned it too. There was a vibe and and energy

673
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: even before the win yesterday that I don't think we've

674
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: had in a while.

675
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 15: Right, we always had a chance that whole game.

676
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. And you know, again, I think it's

677
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: because they and yeah, they had some penalties, you know,

678
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: eleven of them, right, and they hurt themselves a lot

679
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: in different occasions. But I do think that in the end,

680
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: you have this weird growing and it's just two games,

681
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: but you have kind of a weird growing feeling that

682
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: they have an offensive competency about them, that they're always

683
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: they have enough weapons and enough different ways to move

684
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: the football that they've got a chance. They got to

685
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: capitalize in the red zone though, they just do. I

686
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: mean that that's the biggest thing, the red zone stuff.

687
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: When you're down there and you're that close, man, you

688
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: got to take advantage because you just don't know how

689
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: many chances you're going to get. Truck a Rob to

690
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: round us out. What's up, Rob?

691
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 16: What's going on?

692
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 11: This is how we cele.

693
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 14: Out.

694
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: I love it, man, I love it. Yesterday, yes I was.

695
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 16: I wanted tickets from John's show thanks to him, and.

696
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 3: Had a really.

697
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 11: Nice talk to Miss Minto, which she loves you by

698
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 11: the way she speaks, You're great, So you know, well, yeah,

699
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 11: I think I talked to Bally in on a side

700
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 11: note to go see your cardiologist for a second opinion

701
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 11: on her heart and stuff.

702
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 16: But yeah, you know, we went to the game. I'm

703
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 16: sitting there at the end of the game, and you know,

704
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 16: I got up. I thought, well, we lost it, and

705
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 16: then I said, no, wait a minute, there's laundry on

706
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 16: the field. And you know, it was like you've watched

707
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 16: this quick turl around and okay, you.

708
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 11: Think we lost it, and then we won it.

709
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 3: Man, it was great. Man, I mean, what more can

710
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: you say? You know, you talked about.

711
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 11: The Anthony Richardson thing and how that seems to me

712
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 11: like it's in the rear view mirror.

713
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 3: We got, you know, we got Daniel Jones a resurgence,

714
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 3: and why not.

715
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 11: Why can't a guy that's had the kind of career

716
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 11: that he's had, Why can't he have a resurgence?

717
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,280
Speaker 1: Why can't it be the cold here's the bottom line

718
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to Daniel Jones. Now, what's Daniel Jones'

719
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: nickname other than Danny Dimes? Eddie, I just came up

720
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: with the shirt right here, you're ready, Dimes. That's his nickname, Dimes.

721
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna go with you're right. I mean,

722
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: it's Danny Dimes, right, Indiana Jones, So why not Indiana?

723
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: Why not Indiana Jones? Baby? Why not Indiana? And you know,

724
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: if you look at everybody wanted a you know, a

725
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold type rebound year for him, for Daniel Jones.

726
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether or not we are in

727
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: the midst of seeing that before our very eyes, but

728
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: it certainly you feel good about the start of it

729
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: at this point. And I think a big part of

730
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: it is because the Colts have been able tomatically come

731
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: up with plays that benefit him, and they also have

732
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: the personnel around him to benefit him. I also think.

733
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 9: Jake the fact that we're starting to see this like

734
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 9: confidence in himself again to where he's willing to throw

735
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 9: the football down the field.

736
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 1: And his you know, they had one play and sometimes

737
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: it was tough to tell. There was one where I

738
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: was like, was that an option run for the quarterback,

739
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: a designed run for him, or did he just t

740
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: And then I thought maybe it was that it looked

741
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: like I think it was Miley Cox might have been

742
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: designed to break and instead he held onto a block

743
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: and so Jones just ran it. This was in the

744
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: first quarter, but he does have the ability to kind

745
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: of extend plays via his legs. And I love that

746
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: they're using Alec Pierce now in different ways. And that

747
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: becomes interesting too, because Alec Pierce is a guy that

748
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: if he was going to be strictly a long ball

749
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: guy and he's in a contract year, does he start

750
00:42:55,680 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: looking elsewhere? But now you're incorporating him more into almost

751
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: like a Brandon Stokely type role. And I don't say

752
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: that because they're short, little like strong, fast white guys.

753
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: Just the areas, the operating areas you're using him and

754
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: not just longball stuff, but across the middle, you know,

755
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: things like that. So there were a lot of things

756
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: to be positive about. There are things that need to

757
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: be cleaned up. We will discuss some of those as

758
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: well with Joel A. Erickson from The Indie Star and

759
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: we'll do it next. If you're looking for a nickname

760
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: that could stick for Danny Dimes in Indy, that's a

761
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: New York nickname, right, That's what that's the nickname he

762
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: got New York. So why not Indiana trademark? Right? Daniel

763
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Jones doing it again Colts now two and oh first

764
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: time since two thousand and nine. That Indianapolis has gotten

765
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: out to that start through two weeks, and that year

766
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: they started out fourteen and zero before losing to the

767
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: New York Jets. That was there were fairly famous moments

768
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: and criticisms of the way that they handled that game.

769
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: But they are now two to zero. Part of it

770
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: comes by way of a field goal that had to

771
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: have reminded everybody speaking of the Colts glory years of yesteryear,

772
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: Glory days of yesteryear, the Tampa Bay Monday Night miracle game.

773
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: That is literally the only other time that I can

774
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: recall leveraging leaping. I mean, both of them involve a

775
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: player trying to elevate himself to block a kick and

776
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: using a teammate to do so. But the Colts got

777
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: a second lease, they took advantage of it, and they

778
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: got the win yesterday. Joining us now to talk about

779
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: that and more. He is from the Indianapolis Star and

780
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: Joel A. Erickson is his name? Joel? By the way,

781
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: did you happen to see did the Brewers? What did

782
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: the Brewers clinch over the weekend?

783
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 7: Just postseason?

784
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: Just a playoff?

785
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 14: Berth?

786
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: Did you see the is it? Ken Rosenthal? Is that

787
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: his name? That does basely did I did?

788
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 7: He ran over the Brewers team photographer and then stared him.

789
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: Down, which and here's the thing, and this is the

790
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: only thing that I could take from that for those

791
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: that are unfamiliar, and we will get to the Colts

792
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: in a second, but Joel as a Brewers fan. Ken

793
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: Rosenthal was getting ready to conduct an interview with a

794
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: Brewers player, in which then there was like a you know,

795
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: a gatorade shower. Rosenthal jumped out of the way and

796
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: in doing so knocked over a photographer of the team

797
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: and then literally stared him down, like Ali over Sonny liston.

798
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: And the only thing I could think is that Ken

799
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: Rosenthal's a little fella, and so perhaps that's the only

800
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: time that he gets that opportunity. Is that what that

801
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: came down to?

802
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 7: I I I actually, right before I came on, I

803
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 7: saw that he he apologized on one of the baseball

804
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 7: one of the popular baseball shows for it. But yeah,

805
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 7: it looks it looks pretty bad.

806
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: It's a bad look. I mean, he looks like a

807
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: complete like.

808
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 7: Shaking is he's shaking his head as he walks away.

809
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it's he like stares him down.

810
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: You are correct, right, It's.

811
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 14: Like, yeah, it's a bad look.

812
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 7: And actually this is the most this will if listeners

813
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 7: ever wonder if sports writers or fans or not. This

814
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 7: will give him the clue. Ken Rosenthal doesn't like the

815
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 7: brus He doesn't like It's very evident in the way

816
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 7: he reports tough, and so anytime he goes to Milwaukee,

817
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 7: something bad seems to happen.

818
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Well maybe that's the reason for the stairdown.

819
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's begin with this. Joe, I thought yesterday,

820
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, I talked about it plenty in the first

821
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: hour my thoughts on it. But I want to know,

822
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: because we've talked about the you know, the first third

823
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: of the show here, all of the positives and the

824
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: excitement and the mojo and the juju and the fans

825
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: and everything from yesterday, what are areas that are of concern?

826
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: If there's something that we look back on in say,

827
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: late October, early November and say, you know, there were

828
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: warning signs the football gods were trying to show us.

829
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: What is it yesterday? If anything that jumps out that

830
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: is an area that Shane Steiken still needs to work on.

831
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 7: In the lab pass rush, pass rush is not good

832
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 7: so far. Through the first two weeks. They got some

833
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 7: sex off the blitz against the Dolphins, but yesterday, I

834
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 7: think the stat I saw was that Nick's was only

835
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 7: pressured twice. It looked to me like the Broncos entire

836
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 7: strategy was just let's put as many big people as

837
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 7: we can onto Forrest Butner and we'll just assume no

838
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 7: one else can beat us.

839
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: And they were right.

840
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the pass rush, I know, Layatsu Latu

841
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 7: was out, but realistically, other than him being a first

842
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 7: round pick, we don't have a long, you know, lengthy

843
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 7: history of him being a game wrecker in the past

844
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 7: rush and kind of opening things up for everybody else.

845
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 7: So you know, I think the pass rushes is a

846
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 7: big concern moving forward.

847
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: You know.

848
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: The and the other side of that would be this Denver.

849
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: Denver was able to and it was blitzing mostly. I mean,

850
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: they were super aggressive, especially early on, but through the

851
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: first half of that game, I thought Denver was able

852
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: to kind of collapse the edge for the Colts as well.

853
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: And really now, Jones did a really good job of

854
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: being able to in rhythm get rid of the ball

855
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: and not fall victim to it. But is there an

856
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: area of concern also of their ability or inability to

857
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: stop the pass rush.

858
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 7: I think that you kind of expect Denver to rush

859
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 7: the passer like that.

860
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's right. I mean in Week one was

861
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: really high as well, right, yeah.

862
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 7: And they just have like Miami runs a really high

863
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 7: blitz rate. But Denver just has better players that gut

864
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 7: like Alan Benito. Those guys are better players than what

865
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 7: Miami has to offer. So that's a pass rust I

866
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 7: think is going to age pretty well. I know, I know,

867
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 7: like from the Denver side of things, the Broncos Rids

868
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 7: were like, can't believe they didn't get very much pressure

869
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 7: on the on the Colts at all, which to me,

870
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 7: I was with you. I felt like Jones, you know,

871
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 7: kind of had to. I was impressed with the way

872
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 7: Jones avoided it by getting the ball out of his hands.

873
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 7: But the Denver writers are apparently used to seeing, you know,

874
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 7: a little bit a little bit more uh from the

875
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 7: past rush in their game. So I think that one

876
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 7: might just be a matchup dependent type thing.

877
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: Joel, have you ever been to Napanee, Indiana on your

878
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: I know you're a Wisconsin guy, but Napanese up North.

879
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with Napani, Indiana?

880
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 3: I am not.

881
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: Okay. Napanee, Indiana is a beautiful, wonderful community up in

882
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: northern Indiana. It is predominantly Amish. Okay, I don't know

883
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: like what percentage, but let's just say for the sake

884
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: of this entirely, but I mean it's very high Amish population. Okay.

885
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: So I would like to know this, which guy do

886
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: you think has an easier gig, the guy that's in

887
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: charge of owning a lawnmower repair shop in Napanee, Indiana

888
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: or Rigoberto Sanchez.

889
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 7: Well, you know, it might be it might be the

890
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 7: a repair shot because the Notre Dame game would suggest

891
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 7: that that holding for kicks is harder than uh and

892
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 7: more important than we give it credit for.

893
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. You know what, Bigause Sanchez? That is

894
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: his one important area right now. The question would be this,

895
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: even though the Colts now have gone through two games

896
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: without using Rigoberto Sanchez from a punting standpoint, that is

897
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl era record in the National Football League

898
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: through two weeks, but he is their holder. Are they

899
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: going to eventually? Are they playing with fire with the

900
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: number of times that they end up using him as

901
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: the field goal holder as a poison as opposed to

902
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 1: extra point holder in the red zone. Is that going

903
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 1: to be a bugaboo that they need to figure out?

904
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's the one. I think

905
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 7: that's the one legitimate quibble with the offense so far.

906
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 7: It's just that it's just way too many field goals.

907
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 7: I My initial thought yesterday, and this is kind of

908
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 7: where I still am, is that when you get down

909
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 7: in the red zone and if teams are blitzing like

910
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 7: Miami and Denver like to blitz, then there's less room

911
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 7: for those routes that Jones wants to go to right away.

912
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 7: Although on the flip side of that is I think

913
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 7: Jones just kind of some of his some of his

914
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 7: miss throws were under pressure, were kind of in that territory.

915
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 7: But yeah, they've got to figure it out. They've got

916
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 7: to figure out a way to be I think it

917
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 7: might just be as simple as maybe the running game

918
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 7: gets a little bit more, gets a little bit more

919
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 7: work in there. Whether you know, whether that's Taylor or

920
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 7: whether that's Jones. Are bringing in Anthony Richardson for something,

921
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 7: I don't know, but I think maybe that's the that

922
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 7: seems like the obvious solution. But yes, they need to

923
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 7: score more touchdowns and less field goals because realistically, for

924
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 7: a significant part of that game, it felt like Denver

925
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 7: was pretty much in control of it, and they shouldn't

926
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 7: have been, because the Colts were just rattling off yardage

927
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 7: way more than Denver was.

928
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, I I look at this Joel a. Ericson

929
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: as our guest from I'm the Indianapolis Star. He is

930
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: the Colts beat writer, and when I look at it,

931
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: I think about, you know, you are correct when you

932
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: get in the red zone, Richardson would give you different looks.

933
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: I get that, okay, but I just don't think you

934
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: can do it. Joel, you talked me off this ledge

935
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: here of me being and tell me why I'm wrong.

936
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,399
Speaker 1: But when you do the whole deal of we've got

937
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback that we're going to ride until we get

938
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: into a certain area and at that point we're going

939
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: to then put in another quarterback because wow, he gives

940
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: a completely different look or he can do it. First off,

941
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: when you do that, everybody knows why Richardson would be

942
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: on the field, right Yeah, I just I mean, this

943
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: is no disrespect to Anthony Richardson, but it's over barring injury,

944
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: it's over, right.

945
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right that the wildcat thing, and realistically the

946
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 7: wildcat thing, if you look at it, it doesn't work

947
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 7: as well in the NFL as it works in college.

948
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 7: You know, bringing in a guy whose primary job is

949
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 7: to take the snap and run with it, it doesn't

950
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 7: work as well as it does in college for whatever reason,

951
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 7: probably because the NFL game is so much more predicated

952
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 7: on knowing what your opponent is doing. But yeah, I

953
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 7: mean the other thing is like, if you ask me

954
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 7: who I would rather have making decisions in the passing

955
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 7: game in the red zone, it's it's Jones by a

956
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 7: significant margin. So you know, well you were talking about that.

957
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:29,959
Speaker 7: I was like, I don't know, I kind of agree

958
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 7: with Jake here. If you're bringing him, I think you

959
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 7: just figure it out with the guys you have there

960
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 7: and and outside of I don't know, some trick play

961
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 7: that would probably end up making most people upset. I

962
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 7: don't know if maybe there is a role there, Joe.

963
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 1: When you were a kid, did anybody ever tell you,

964
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: like a teacher that like a rule for life or

965
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: like you know, life will go well, so long as

966
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: you follow it, like I always say, you know, try

967
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: to live by the rule and not the exception. Or

968
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, was there any sort of like little piece

969
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: of advice that a teacher or a parent or somebody

970
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: gave you that was the key to success for you?

971
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 7: I don't, I don't know. Nothing is jumping to my mind.

972
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 1: Well I have one for you. Now you're how welde fella?

973
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 7: I am thirty nine?

974
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, thirty nine? Well it's listen to figure this out.

975
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: At thirty nine? Is you know, young jedi? Is is

976
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: this is you know? I mean, you still got thirty

977
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: nine more years you can use it typically if you

978
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: just think to yourself, I kind of agree with Jake,

979
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: things are going to go very well for you, just

980
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: so you know. I mean, you know, I mean, I

981
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: realize you know, you're you're very well established in your

982
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 1: career here. But if there are new heights you want

983
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: to go, just just go with that, you know what

984
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean?

985
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 7: You know, the more the more I hear with this stuff,

986
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 7: Jake Cerry is.

987
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: Saying, most people go running and screaming in the totally

988
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: opposite direction. But if you want to stick with it

989
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: and let me know how that works for you. That'd

990
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 1: be good right, not wrong way.

991
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm I'm on board.

992
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: Hey, did they yesterday Alec Pierce in terms of I

993
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: was mentioning, you know they they It's almost like they

994
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: reinvented him yesterday. I know that sounds crazy, but Alec Pierce,

995
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: we had just resigned ourselves to the fact that he

996
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: was the behind the defense, breakaway long ball threat guy.

997
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 1: And then yesterday they started with downs. It was Warren

998
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: in week one, where let's get like the rhythm short

999
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: yardage passer and get that receiver going. And it was

1000
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: Warren in week one. Then yesterday they did it with downs,

1001
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: a couple of you know those over the middle of

1002
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: short throws on the first couple of drives and Josh downs.

1003
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: There was one play actually where I wondered the downs

1004
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: didn't get dinged up a little bit. But then they

1005
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: got Alec Pierce involved in that game and that seemed

1006
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: to be a new wrinkle. Now, was that out of necessity?

1007
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: Was that out of just a look that Shane Steichen

1008
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: saw or is this something that we're going to see

1009
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: more of from Pierce as we move along?

1010
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 7: They so Alec Pierce himself has has kind of set

1011
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 7: all off season, and he wants to be he wants

1012
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 7: to be able to give them that option more than

1013
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 7: he has before. But I also I also would say

1014
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 7: beyond just Pierce saying that, I would say if you

1015
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 7: went back and watch Trading Camp and so you know

1016
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 7: a lot of times you watch trading Camp and it

1017
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 7: doesn't mean anything, but with Alec Pierce, a lot of

1018
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 7: the catches he had in training camp were some of

1019
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 7: the stuff we saw yesterday, those those crossers, those shorter throws,

1020
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 7: uh and and really I think if he can develop

1021
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 7: into that and do that, it just it makes things

1022
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 7: much more difficult on the defense because you can't really

1023
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 7: play him at the line. If you play him at

1024
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,959
Speaker 7: the line, you are asking to get burnt over the top.

1025
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 7: And so if if the Colts are using him in

1026
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 7: some of that short yardage stuff, I think it makes

1027
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 7: it much more difficult on the defense. But yeah, that's

1028
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 7: something that that I kind of wrote down in my notebooks.

1029
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 7: You know, Alec Peerce is catching a lot of you know,

1030
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 7: comeback type plays, crossers, that kind of thing instead of

1031
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 7: just always the deep ball in training camp, and it

1032
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 7: kind of manifested itself yesterday.

1033
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: How big sorry about that, Joe. How big a concern

1034
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: is the I'm going to say the corner play now?

1035
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: I thought Nick Cross was really good in the safety spot.

1036
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: You know they've got and they do have some players

1037
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: in their defensive backfield, but they've obviously been hurt by

1038
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: injury with Ward out and Jones out. I think we

1039
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: saw yesterday how important word is late edition of Xavier Howard,

1040
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: and I thought he, you know, obviously he really struggled yesterday.

1041
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: How big a concern is that room having to kind

1042
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: of plot its way through until it's one hundred percent again.

1043
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 7: I I'm a little concerned, you know, mainly because it

1044
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 7: feels like Howard is, at least in the coaching staff's mind,

1045
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 7: the definitive starter on the outside out there, and you know,

1046
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 7: he didn't play last year, obviously had a very rough

1047
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 7: day yesterday. It felt to me like the Broncos were

1048
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 7: targeting him. From my time covering the Saints in New Orleans,

1049
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 7: I know that usually when Sean Payton targets someone, it's

1050
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 7: for a reason. I'm interested in Mackay Blackman. I didn't,

1051
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 7: necessari you know, didn't notice him a ton yesterday. Might

1052
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 7: have to go back and look at it. But you

1053
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 7: know that spot, that outside corner spot, it was supposed

1054
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 7: to go justin Wally, I wonder if they're gonna spend

1055
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 7: some time here, if they're gonna have to spend some

1056
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 7: time here trying to find the right answer to it,

1057
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 7: because the one that we kind of all thought in

1058
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 7: the off season was going to be the answer is

1059
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 7: Jaylen Jones, and he's he's dealing with a hamstring injury

1060
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 7: that just will not stay away.

1061
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

1062
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 7: And then you've got black men who they like and

1063
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 7: they think of him as a speed option, but you know,

1064
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 7: he kind of he was. He struggled enough with Minnesota

1065
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 7: that they gave up that they were willing to trade him.

1066
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 7: And then you've got Howard, who you know, yesterday looked

1067
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 7: very limited. I say, I think that outside corner spot

1068
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 7: is something to circle going forwards, because like, when Ward

1069
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 7: is back and you assume more to be back soon,

1070
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 7: I don't know how soon, because concussions are notoriously difficult

1071
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 7: to predict. But once Ward's back, you feel good about

1072
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 7: his side. But what if teams just don't throw at

1073
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 7: his side?

1074
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 3: Right?

1075
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 7: What if teams do what the Broncos did yesterday in

1076
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 7: the first half and they just keep hammering away at

1077
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 7: the other side of the field.

1078
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,479
Speaker 1: Do you think, Joel Joel a Ericson is our guest

1079
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: from the Indianapolis Star. Is Shane Stikeen schematically lifting Daniel

1080
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: Jones or is Daniel Jones play lifting the scheme of

1081
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 1: Shane Steiking.

1082
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 7: I would say Daniel Jones play is illuminating the scheme

1083
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 7: of Shane Stiking. Okay, I think this is I think

1084
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 7: this is what he is able to do. What his

1085
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 7: reputation is in the NFL is this is a guy

1086
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 7: who's going to find stuff that gives your defense fit

1087
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 7: so that your defense isn't good at But the hard

1088
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 7: part about that is you have to have a quarterback

1089
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 7: who sees the game the same way and can take

1090
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 7: advantage of that stuff. And Anthony Richardson was just frankly

1091
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 7: not able to do that or always able to do

1092
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 7: that or that maybe not maybe not his approach in

1093
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 7: terms of the way he quarterbacked it, in terms of

1094
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 7: being in lockstep with Shane Siken. Jones is taking advantage

1095
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 7: of all that stuff. Like I think that little flip

1096
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 7: to Taylor yesterday, you know, that's a play that I

1097
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,959
Speaker 7: have been told for almost as long as I've covered

1098
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 7: the league that the key to running backs, key to

1099
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 7: running backs catching the ball out of the backfield for

1100
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 7: big yardage is that the quarterback has to know it

1101
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 7: has to get there right away. And that sounds very simple,

1102
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 7: but it's not really because a lot of times you

1103
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 7: think of the running back as the checkdown and oh,

1104
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 7: I don't have anything I'm gonna throw to the running back.

1105
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 7: Goes to the running back early, and if you do that,

1106
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 7: you have John Nathan Taylor out in space against guys

1107
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 7: who can't run with him. And that's a scheme type

1108
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 7: of thing that I think sometimes took a little longer

1109
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 7: than it had to last year or the year before,

1110
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 7: whereas so far Jones is getting it out there and

1111
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 7: so's it's illuminating that Shane Syken has answers for a

1112
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 7: lot of the stuff the defense is doing. They just

1113
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 7: didn't always get to them before.

1114
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Do you. By the way, Joe, what year is this

1115
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: for you covering the Colts?

1116
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 7: This is the eight season?

1117
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have you have been covering them. I'm

1118
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna name a quarterback. Can you tell me if it's

1119
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback you covered Okay, I mean, obviously Richardson, My

1120
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: years all run together, so bear with me here. Joe Flacco,

1121
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:56,479
Speaker 1: right yep, Carson Wentz yep, Philip Rivers yep. Obviously luck

1122
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: right yep. I don't know if you know or not.

1123
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: He retireired early and and he did a very a

1124
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: very surprising night, seemed to surprise people. Okay, So who

1125
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: am I missing here in terms of oh, Matt Ryan obviously, Okay,

1126
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's the core. Okay, I might have missed

1127
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: one here and there. I mean I realized Sam Ellinger,

1128
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, you know, a couple of games here and there.

1129
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: But Jacoby Brissett, Okay, that's a good one in terms

1130
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: of those guys. And I know that it's very early,

1131
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 1: but for a lot of those quarterbacks, you know, Rivers,

1132
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: for example, was the COVID year, so we didn't really

1133
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: get to know Philip Rivers. But in terms of those guys,

1134
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: where would you slot or describe or compare and contrast

1135
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, not as a quarterback, but just in terms

1136
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: of his personality, in terms of what you can kind

1137
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: of see of the interaction with his teammates, the you know,

1138
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the personality of joking around in the locker room or not,

1139
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: or is he all business, et cetera. How would you

1140
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: describe him for our listeners who are fans of the

1141
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Colts but don't yet totally know Daniel Jones.

1142
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 7: I think, you know, if we're talking about off the field,

1143
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 7: the guy that comes to mind is Matt Ryan. And

1144
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 7: I don't know if the way the twenty twenty two

1145
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 7: season went will make fans hear that and kind of

1146
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 7: vomit in their mouths, But the Colts really loved Matt Ryan.

1147
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,919
Speaker 7: Even though Ryan, well he was a nice enough guy.

1148
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 7: You know, in interactions with the media, he didn't really

1149
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 7: say all that much. It's kind of, you know, it's

1150
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 7: kind of like the starting quarterback playbook type of thing.

1151
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 7: You know, you're not supposed to say a lot publicly.

1152
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 7: But Jones, Jones strikes me as that type of guy. Jones,

1153
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 7: he's not a guy who's easy to quote. He's not

1154
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 7: giving us a lot of stuff like Philip Rivers. Philip

1155
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 7: Rivers said something every week that you were like, well,

1156
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 7: that's that's the lead to a story, or sometimes that's

1157
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 7: the whole story. Jones is not going to be like that.

1158
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 7: Matt Ryan wasn't really like that, but if you watch

1159
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 7: him or you talk to the players, you know, it

1160
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 7: feels like everyone on the team who golf has golfed

1161
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 7: with Daniel Jones since he got here. He took the

1162
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 7: alignment out to dinner. You know, he got back to

1163
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 7: his locker after his press conference yesterday and there were

1164
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 7: a couple of guys coming up, you know, just to

1165
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 7: congratulate him, deep him up, give him a you know,

1166
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 7: you know, one of those bro hug type things that

1167
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 7: you see. It strikes me as very Matt Ryan is

1168
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 7: very professional. There's a lot of respect for like what

1169
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 7: time he gets there, all of the work he puts in.

1170
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 7: All that stuff was true of Philip Rivers, but Philip

1171
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 7: Rivers is a larger personality in a lot of good ways,

1172
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 7: and in a lot of ways the Colts loved. I

1173
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 7: think of Jones more more like Matt.

1174
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Ryan, you know Jones. And part of it may be

1175
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: when I say this, it's it's gonna sound really weird.

1176
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, like his eyes look perpetually dilated. And I

1177
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: mean that I'm not trying to be funny, Like he

1178
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: just he has darker eyes, so he always looks kind

1179
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: of wide eyed. He always looks kind of in like

1180
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: in shock of what the moment is in terms of

1181
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: his physical appearance strictly, but does he appear to you?

1182
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can tell in a press conference setting,

1183
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: or more so in the media scrum, when everybody's crowded

1184
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: around a guy and they're peppering him with questions, you

1185
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: can kind of tell when a guy is not a

1186
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: quick processor. Does Daniel Jones appear to be a quick processor? I?

1187
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think yes. And I think that what Jones,

1188
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 7: I think that Jones in press conferences is is consciously

1189
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 7: trying to figure out what Like, I think he's very

1190
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 7: quickly going through what he wants to say, what more,

1191
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 7: but more importantly, what he does not want to say.

1192
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,920
Speaker 7: You know, I thought the answer he gave to ESPN

1193
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 7: Stephen Holder yesterday about you know, does this is there

1194
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 7: a sense of satisfaction after everybody said that you couldn't play?

1195
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 7: And he said maybe a little, but like the look,

1196
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 7: the look in his eyes was there's more here, but

1197
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 7: I'm not ready to let anybody in on that yet.

1198
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 7: And and so I think he's kind of doing the

1199
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 7: thing where he is. The words that come out are

1200
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 7: one thing, but I think he is sifting through what

1201
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 7: he wants to say, what he doesn't want to say,

1202
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 7: and like I said, significant significant emphasis on what he

1203
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 7: does not want to say at.

1204
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: This point, which I mean, I guess part of that shows,

1205
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, an emotional intelligence to an extent right to

1206
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: be able to process through of what is going to

1207
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: not everything needs to be said, you know what I mean?

1208
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,919
Speaker 1: I mean? And I think that was again I hate

1209
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: doing this because Joel, this is beyond just making everything

1210
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: a comparison between Jones and Richardson, because we're past that now.

1211
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think that was kind of part of Anthony

1212
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: Richardson's problem was and yes, it's unfair because we're like, hey, man,

1213
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: like give us an answer here, give us a sound bye.

1214
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: But I thought Richardson at times was too honest, right

1215
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: and showed a lack of maturity in understanding how to

1216
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: answer those questions.

1217
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 7: You agree with that, yeah, And I think I think

1218
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 7: that's another thing that sticks out to me is that

1219
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 7: Jones sort of under not sort of. I think Jones

1220
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 7: really understands how this works. He has said two weeks

1221
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 7: in a row now like yeah, this is great. But

1222
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 7: I think this league in some version of this league.

1223
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 7: It matters if I do it over and over and

1224
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 7: over again, and it doesn't matter if I do it

1225
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 7: for one week. And I think that that's something that

1226
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 7: you know, he was in New York. He was in

1227
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 7: New York for six years. I don't know that he

1228
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 7: was ever known as like a as like a super

1229
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 7: forthcoming type of individual, but he was in New York

1230
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 7: for six years. I think that that probably teaches you

1231
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 7: something about public perception and how the NFL is going

1232
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 7: to be, because that's that's where he goes to every time.

1233
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Anthony.

1234
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 7: Anthony's younger, and I think I do think sometimes Anthony

1235
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 7: answered questions without maybe realizing, oh, people.

1236
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: Are going to take this the right way. I mean,

1237
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: what the what the repercussions were going to be, or

1238
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the magnitude of what he was going to say, right, yeah, yeah, I.

1239
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 7: Mean like even and even stuff like you know, his

1240
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 7: his back injury last year. You know, he he mentioned

1241
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 7: it was a disc issue, like that's honest, and there's

1242
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 7: nothing wrong with being honest that generally I would prefer

1243
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 7: honesty in in then, but it turned into this huge issue.

1244
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: And I know we're on the way back here, but

1245
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: didn't Richardson say this is a back issue that I've

1246
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 1: had since high school or something like that, which is

1247
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: like whoa you know, I mean yep, yeah, I mean

1248
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: that that is an alarm bell for certain All right,

1249
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Joel A. Erickson joining us Indianapolis Star, where you can

1250
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: get all of the coverage for the Colts. Colts now

1251
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 1: two and oh Joel appreciated as always, man.

1252
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 3: You bet, thanks for having me.

1253
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Luck to your brewers, by the way, ninety one and

1254
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: fifty nine, I think Milwaukee is and they have clenched.

1255
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: You know. The one thing, Eddie, this is an unpopular

1256
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: opinion about baseball. There's one thing in baseball that drives

1257
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: me insane, and it's I get I go on this.

1258
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 1: I go on this rant every year. Okay, I'm gonna

1259
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: tell you what it is, and I can guarantee you're

1260
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: going to disagree with me. All right, And I will

1261
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: let you folks here from Daniel Jones as well on

1262
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: where they are exactly right now, and Shane Steiken as

1263
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: well from their thoughts on yesterday. We'll play that for

1264
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: you upcoming. Heck yeah, Little Dex's Midnight Runners. All right,

1265
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play for you some interesting comments from both

1266
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen and Daniel Jones. Coming up just second, technically

1267
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Eddie will be one playing it, but uh, here is

1268
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:17,480
Speaker 1: my annual late summer early autumn baseball guy yelling at clouds.

1269
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: I can't be the only one here, can't be the

1270
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: only one, But I'm going to give my opinion and

1271
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: then you tell me how unpopular it would be or

1272
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: it will be. If you watch the NBA playoffs, the

1273
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers had an unbelievable first round series against the

1274
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks. Bobby Portois, Chance, Haliburton, heroics, fabulous, they win,

1275
01:10:55,439 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: and they advance Cleveland Cavaliers. Great series, some injuries to

1276
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: the Cavs. Garland was hurt, Mobley's a great player, huge

1277
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: blowout win at one point, Donovan Mitchell at one point

1278
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: was unstoppable. Halliburton with the incredible finish to steal one

1279
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: of the games. You win, survive in advance, go on

1280
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: tack on the Knicks Big Time series. Pacers, Knicks, Pacers

1281
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: and Racers NFL Playoffs. Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs

1282
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl, won the AFC. They beat

1283
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, Buffalo in the AFC title game? Right,

1284
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: and I can't recall Eddie. Do you remember who either

1285
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: of those two teams beat in the divisional round?

1286
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 9: Buffalo beat Baltimore more because Mark Andrews dropped the ball.

1287
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 9: That's right, have won the game through the Ravens and

1288
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 9: then the Eagles. You're talking about?

1289
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: Wait, who was it? Kansas City?

1290
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 9: Kansas City? They would have had to beat Houston. Okay,

1291
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 9: it's Houston one. Why is it in Major League Baseball?

1292
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 9: All those things that we just mentioned, all those games

1293
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:14,440
Speaker 9: we just mentioned. It drives me bonkers. How in baseball

1294
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 9: you have two teams that will play a what one

1295
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 9: game wildcard round?

1296
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Is that right? They still do it that way?

1297
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 9: I think?

1298
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 5: So?

1299
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: Aren't there two that get it? And they do a

1300
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: champagne spray and a full clubhouse celebration for winning a

1301
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: wildcard round?

1302
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 9: Because you're officially in the postseason, you're officially in the playoffs. Okay,

1303
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 9: you don't celebrate making it into the playoffs.

1304
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: Did the Pacers when they clenched a playoff berth, it's

1305
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: a long season, did they do a champagne celebration?

1306
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 9: I don't think they did, because they I mean, they

1307
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 9: were there last year and they never celebrated much along

1308
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 9: the way.

1309
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: Either, no team does well. There is no team factually

1310
01:12:58,600 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: correct either.

1311
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 9: Look at the thunder they celebrating after winning the Western

1312
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 9: Conference Finals. They pop champagne and all that. The Pastern

1313
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 9: Conference Finals, Yes, Patterers didn't do. Let me finish. There

1314
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 9: is no team to my knowledge, in the NBA or

1315
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 9: the NFL that celebrates any like locker room live, champagne,

1316
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 9: wearing the goggles celebration until the round that advances them

1317
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:32,560
Speaker 9: to the NBA Finals or the super Bowl, the preliminary

1318
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 9: playoff rounds, or even the solidifying yourself into the playoffs.

1319
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 9: No team does it in either sport. It's a baseball

1320
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 9: only thing. The wild card round. And I get it,

1321
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 9: you play one hundred and one. I mean it's a

1322
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 9: long season. I get it. Maybe to make the play

1323
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 9: to win your division. I think if you win your division,

1324
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 9: if you clinched the division in baseball, it's pretty cool.

1325
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 9: But then once you get into the postseason, anything shy

1326
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 9: of the pennant to me, there are I will give you.

1327
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 9: You win your division, but winning a wildcard round, winning

1328
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 9: a divisional round, you've already done it. You won your division.

1329
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,839
Speaker 9: Celebrate that's cool. And if you win the Pennant celebrate,

1330
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 9: that's cool. But the other rounds, the wildcard round notably,

1331
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 9: and the divisional round. If the Colts get into the

1332
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 9: wild card, if they clinch a wildcard spot, if in

1333
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 9: week seventeen the Colts have to beat the Houston Texans

1334
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 9: to get in as a wild card, and they beat them,

1335
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 9: do they do a champagne celebration? Then they get in

1336
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 9: the wildcard round and they play Denver in Denver and

1337
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 9: they beat them, do they do a champagne celebration? Then

1338
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 9: they go onto the divisional round, And in the divisional

1339
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 9: round they defeat Cincinnati, do they do a champagne No,

1340
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 9: they don't do it in any of those unless they

1341
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 9: win the AFC.

1342
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: So you you disagree with my take.

1343
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 9: Eddie, I yeah, I disagree with your take. So what

1344
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,759
Speaker 9: makes baseball different than if you want to celebrate celebrate?

1345
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't look at anyone any differently for

1346
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 9: not celebrating. I mean, if they want to celebrate fining,

1347
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 9: I mean.

1348
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting no, no, no, it's one hundred and sixty.

1349
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 9: Two game season. Yeah, you made the playoffs. Congrats. If

1350
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 9: you're one of the two teams you know, if you're

1351
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 9: the reds of the Giants and you're battling for that

1352
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,839
Speaker 9: last playoff spot by doing a one game playing scenario

1353
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 9: like the playing tournament type.

1354
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: But sure, celebrate, but you already celebrated to the fact

1355
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: that you get to that one game. You already did

1356
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: a whole celebration that you got into the wildcard round.

1357
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: And then you win your wildcard game, your wildcard tiebreaker,

1358
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: and you're gonna celebrate again and then go in and

1359
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: celebrate the wildcard like. Baseball is the only sport that

1360
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: does it that way. And I get it. It's a

1361
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: longer regular season. I get that, but you already celebrated

1362
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 1: when you clenched a postseason berth. Then you celebrate that

1363
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: you lunched the tiebreaker, then you celebrate that you clinched

1364
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: the wildcard. I mean when the other two it's it's

1365
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: very defined and it's not it is not a in

1366
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: the other two sports. It's not a team by team basis.

1367
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: It's basically a protocol of the the conference championship and

1368
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: the title.

1369
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 9: I wonder if there's some sort of like a sponsorship

1370
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 9: with you know, one of the bureau providers.

1371
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: Actually there was last year was there not because I

1372
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: think it was like Mick Ultra, that was what they

1373
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: were hanging out.

1374
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 9: There's either Mickel. I mean before it's been Budweiser.

1375
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, in Saint Louis, I can assure you it was,

1376
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: but it would have been Budweiser Bush or whatever else.

1377
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: But but it was all Champagne. When I was covering

1378
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, it was all Champagne, and it was when

1379
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: they won the division. They did it, but back in

1380
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: different aer back then you didn't have the well I

1381
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: take that back. The Cardinals when they won the division

1382
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: and I was covering it, did it. And then they

1383
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: won the wildcard round over Atlanta and did it again,

1384
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,719
Speaker 1: and then they got beat in the NLCS by the Mets.

1385
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: To me again, long season, I get it. And if

1386
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,679
Speaker 1: you want to do it because you are advancing into

1387
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: the postseason, fine, but then after that it's like wait

1388
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: till you get to you win your conference or your league.

1389
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: Your pennant, Shane Steichen said something interesting regarding Daniel Jones,

1390
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones had interesting things to say as well.

1391
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: We'll let you hear from both next. So the baseball

1392
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: playoffs now are the best of three. There's no more

1393
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 1: of the one game play in right. No, so there's

1394
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: twelve teams. The bottom two wildcards play one another, the

1395
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: third wildcard the top wildcard. I'm sorry. The top two

1396
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: wildcards play each other. The third seed goes against the

1397
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: lowest divisional.

1398
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 9: Winner, correct third seed third division winner faces the sixth seed,

1399
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 9: the lowest wildcard team, the four seed, the second wildcard

1400
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 9: team will face the five seed, which is the first

1401
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 9: WILDCARDI this.

1402
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: From Jalen at text two three nine ten seventy. Jake,

1403
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: you're driving me up the wall with this rant. I

1404
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: get it. I guess my only question of it is

1405
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 1: why does Major League Baseball do it differently than every

1406
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: other league? That's it. That's that's simply my question. Yesterday,

1407
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, something interesting that happened,

1408
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: and let's set up for you why I found it interesting.

1409
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Daniel Jones. Jones, I think, by all

1410
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: account was kind of the surprise name as the starter

1411
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: going into week one, and people were very curious as

1412
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: to whether or not that was because Daniel Jones won

1413
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: the job or Anthony Richardson lost it. And you know,

1414
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,879
Speaker 1: obviously the Colts were very effective in week one against Miami,

1415
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: but we questioned also Miami's defense and overall quality of

1416
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Jones was very again yesterday, right from the

1417
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: get go, I thought was extremely active, and you could

1418
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: make the argument even was a step progressed from the

1419
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: Miami game because he had to handle a much more

1420
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:17,919
Speaker 1: aggressive defense in Denver, a faster, blitzing defense, a defense

1421
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 1: that forced him into quick decisions, and he made consecutively

1422
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 1: the quick decisions. Here is Daniel Jones yesterday talking about

1423
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 1: his comfort level and if, in fact, he is feeling

1424
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: more comfortable now as the quarterback of the Colts.

1425
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1426
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 17: I mean, I think I don't know how much time

1427
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 17: I've spent comparing it to you know, times in the

1428
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 17: past or different situations I've been in. But I feel,

1429
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 17: you know, I feel confident and the energy about our team.

1430
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 17: I think about our offense, about our group. I think

1431
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 17: we're executing at a high level. You know, I think

1432
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 17: there's still things we need to do better. I think,

1433
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 17: you know, you look some of the red zone stuff

1434
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,799
Speaker 17: today and you know, things we can sharpen up down there.

1435
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 17: Things I can sharpen up, for sure. But yeah, I

1436
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 17: think collectively as a group. You know, we're confident about

1437
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 17: what we can be, and we know that we're still

1438
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 17: we're still growing and developing.

1439
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what's interesting about that. Nothing that really jumps

1440
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: out at you. There is like, oh, I mean, those

1441
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: are all encouraging things that he said. He said all

1442
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: the right things. Shane Steichen was then asked about just

1443
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: the overall play of Daniel Jones and also you know

1444
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: the reliability if you will, of Daniel Jones. Here is

1445
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: Shane Stiken critiquing Daniel Jones yesterday.

1446
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 8: Well, I thought he was a fishing, taking his reads,

1447
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 8: going through his progressions. The ball placement was good. Again,

1448
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 8: I don't know what he completed. What was he today?

1449
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 8: Twenty five or thirty four, one hundred and seven QB

1450
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 8: rating one touchdown. Like I said, I think though line

1451
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 8: did a hell of a job. I thought all the

1452
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 8: receivers did a nice job. Tyler Warren did a nice job.

1453
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 8: It was just a fishing all around.

1454
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that. And when he talks about the placement,

1455
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, Dominic Miranda, who you hear on Fridays on

1456
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: the Morning Show with the Guys, posted a video the

1457
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: other day at the end of practice or during a practice.

1458
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: I guess it just said, you know, hey, the Colts

1459
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: quarterback's getting ready for to you know, routing out their

1460
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: week of practice. And it's Daniel Jones just rolling out

1461
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: and he throws just a fairly routine pass and then

1462
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: Richardson is the next and he sails at like eight

1463
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: feet over the guy's head. And Richardson then runs and

1464
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 1: kind of playfully's like hitting himself on the head, and

1465
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: that went semi viral there. Ball placement is so important

1466
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 1: and you know what is what did CJ. Stroud say

1467
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: about himself That he's a ball placement expert, but specialist specialist,

1468
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Late in the game, though, the Colts found

1469
01:21:54,080 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: themselves in position with the football with a chance, and

1470
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: they went extremely conservative in their play call and they

1471
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 1: ran the ball five of seven plays, including on third

1472
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: down that pushed them back and then lined up for

1473
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard field goal. Okay, this is Shane

1474
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: Steichen after the game, explaining the rationale of calling the

1475
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 1: game the way he did.

1476
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 8: Offensively, we were in field goal range there, felt good

1477
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 8: about it. And then on that third down obviously we

1478
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 8: went backwards there on that one. But yeah, I mean

1479
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 8: that's football sometimes obviously, Yeah, we got the penalty that

1480
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 8: helped us out and found a way to win it there.

1481
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 5: Trying to make sure.

1482
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 8: You're a clock left for yeah, because you know, yeah,

1483
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 8: I don't want to get into it, but yes, yeah,

1484
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 8: I don't want to time left on that clock.

1485
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 14: It's never a Nigel situation for count book was the

1486
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 14: thought Busses at the end, that's not what you want, right,

1487
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 14: I mean, what we wouldn't he waiting there?

1488
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 8: I guess, yeah, just I guess I'll get into whatever

1489
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 8: is the kickoff there at the end, you know what

1490
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 8: I mean. You don't want to let them get a

1491
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 8: return there.

1492
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: That's why, Okay, several years ago, and there's a reason

1493
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up because I find this interesting. Several

1494
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: years ago, everybody here would remember when the New England Patriots,

1495
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: at the peak of the rivalry, went forth on a

1496
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: fourth down play against the Colts and the Colts got

1497
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: to stop. It was fourth and two, I believe was

1498
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: what it was, and Belichick goes for it and the

1499
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: Colts get the stop, and everybody then questioned, what Bill Belichick,

1500
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 1: Why the world did Belichick go for it on fourth

1501
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:53,679
Speaker 1: and two? In that situation and let the Colts get

1502
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: the stop that wins them the game. And it was

1503
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: going and I remember at the time, I was like, yeah,

1504
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,560
Speaker 1: that was the right call because what that meant was

1505
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,520
Speaker 1: that is the ultimate sign of respect from Bill Belichick

1506
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: to they go to Kevin Falk on that play, right,

1507
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: and the Colts come up and they end up getting

1508
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: a stop and Melvin Blewett, I think was the one

1509
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: that ear Melvin Pollack, excuse me, is the one that

1510
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: came in and made that stop. And you forget about

1511
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Melvin Bullock because he was a good player and then

1512
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: he I think it was a shoulder injury the end

1513
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: of his career. But either way, that was the ultimate

1514
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: respect for Peyton Manning because what Bill Belichick was saying

1515
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 1: in that moment was, I didn't I had a better

1516
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: percentage odds of converting on fourth down than I did

1517
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: of stopping Peyton Manning. So I weighed the odds and said,

1518
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: I feel better about us on fourth down getting two

1519
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: yards with that play to Kevin Falk than I do

1520
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: our defense stopping Peyton Manning. It was the old ultimate

1521
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: tip of the cap to Peyton Manning. Now, bo Nicks

1522
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: is not Peyton Manning.

1523
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 6: But what.

1524
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: Right there Shane Steichen is saying is, yes, we have

1525
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 1: a fifty five yard field goal. We were within quote

1526
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: field goal range. But I felt better about our odds

1527
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,640
Speaker 1: of hitting a fifty five yard field goal than I

1528
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: did about the odds of our special teams limiting a

1529
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,839
Speaker 1: big play return or our defense and notably our corners,

1530
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: from stopping Denver in a player two getting into field

1531
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: goal range. That's exactly what he's saying there. And while

1532
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: we can critique the way Steichen called that series, what

1533
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: he is doing there is he is critiquing both his

1534
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: special teams and his depleted secondary and saying, I think

1535
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: that our odds were better of converting a fifthfty five

1536
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: yard field goal then our odds were of stopping Denver

1537
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: from getting within the same range. It's exactly what he's

1538
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:11,919
Speaker 1: saying right there. And then Jones said something that reverted

1539
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: back to commentary about the Colts from before Daniel Jones

1540
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 1: was even a player for them. And I'll let you

1541
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: hear what that was next. It's Querry in company. I'm

1542
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna be keeping your company for the next few hours.

1543
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: You are not going to believe the company. This company

1544
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: you're going to bankrupt your mama's company. At least I

1545
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: have the radio to keep me company. On ninety three

1546
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: to five and one oh seven five the fan second

1547
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: down and goal with the one again.

1548
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 4: Jones under center takes the snap, trying to put the

1549
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 4: ball across the goal line. There's the sentinel. Finally touchdown

1550
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 4: shotgun snap for the quarterback roast, why don't been Jonathan Taylor,

1551
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 4: He's gonna walk in touchdown. The second year quarterback has time,

1552
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 4: wops it downfield and it is an over prowl and

1553
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 4: it's intercepting by.

1554
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: Camp fight up.

1555
01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 4: Denver leads by two, twenty eight to twenty six. His

1556
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 4: first field goal try today. This one is up, has

1557
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 4: plenty of leg He missed, he missed it hit off

1558
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:08,679
Speaker 4: the right, up right.

1559
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,799
Speaker 1: He picked it off the right, upright.

1560
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 4: A sixty yard field goal from Spencer Strader Sanchez to

1561
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 4: put it down, stamp placement kick. It's on its way,

1562
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 4: headed for the uprights, and it is no good.

1563
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 6: Kind of disappointing myself because I felt the pressure coming

1564
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 6: from whatever side while look at it on film, and

1565
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 6: I thought, man like, I just let the environment get

1566
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 6: to me a little bit.

1567
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 5: And then I saw the flag personal.

1568
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 4: Saw beverage defense number ninety six.

1569
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I.

1570
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 1: Thought about a first down? Oh man leaping? What in

1571
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,560
Speaker 1: the warp rolls? What kind of a call is that?

1572
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 5: Short mentality? Next kick? I was like, okay, reset, think

1573
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 5: about it like you know what to do.

1574
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:54,600
Speaker 6: Just treat it like an extra point, ultimate faith and

1575
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 6: Luke and Rigo you know that they're going to do

1576
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 6: their job.

1577
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 5: And kept my eyes down and knocked it through for

1578
01:27:58,439 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 5: the team.

1579
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 4: San Chanz to put it down. There's a snap kick

1580
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 4: us on its way. Header for the up punts, walk

1581
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 4: up field goal. Spencer's Trader wins it for the Colts.

1582
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 4: Colts win twenty nine, twenty eight ball gamey.

1583
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 8: Why great, gutsy, gritty team win, great performance, Some things

1584
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 8: to clean up, but to get two back to back

1585
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 8: wins at home in front of our home crowd. The

1586
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 8: atmosphere out there was electric, crowd showed up.

1587
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 5: It was awesome. We got to go do it again.

1588
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: So how it sounded yesterday Matt Taylor on the call,

1589
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: Shane Steich, and you heard from their Spencer Strader. You

1590
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: heard from Colts win. They are now two to oh

1591
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand and nine, and

1592
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 1: that season they went fourteen and zero to begin the year.

1593
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 1: They ended up, of course, in the Super Bowl that year,

1594
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: losing to the New Orleans Saints, But nonetheless.

1595
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 9: Nice your tickets now, people, that's right.

1596
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: Book your your flight. Where the super Bowl this year?

1597
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 9: San Francisco?

1598
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: No, it always feels like, Okay, I'm gonna go. If

1599
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: you had to play, let's guess where the super Bowl is,

1600
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: you have pretty high odds if you go with either Yes,

1601
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:14,879
Speaker 1: is it San Francisco?

1602
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 9: Yes, sant Clara, let's go, coach. It was just there,

1603
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 9: wasn't it. Uh, maybe at Levi Stadium.

1604
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,559
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you know, I mean, pretty

1605
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: good odds between Phoenix, New Orleans or you know, Tampa.

1606
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: But you heard al Michael's there because when the field

1607
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: goal was missed by Schrader and then you had the

1608
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 1: call for leverage. I cannot be the only one I

1609
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,880
Speaker 1: would imagine anybody who's been watching the Colts long enough

1610
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: to remember what is I think undeniably one of the

1611
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:54,520
Speaker 1: two most famous regular season wins in Colts' history in Indianapolis,

1612
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:58,679
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Miracle, when Simeon Rice, who later would

1613
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: become a cult was called for leaping, and that was

1614
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: how Michael's reaction. That was the first time that I'd

1615
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: ever seen that kind of a call on a missed

1616
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: field goal where you cannot use a teammate to leap

1617
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 1: or leverage for yourself. They're different based on which part

1618
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: of the body you're using, but I'd never heard that call,

1619
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,439
Speaker 1: and I don't know that I've heard it since. And

1620
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: yesterday it bails out the Colts and they are two

1621
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 1: and zero on the season now and Nick Cross going

1622
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 1: to join us. One of the guys played really well

1623
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 1: for them yesterday. He's going to join us coming up

1624
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. Look forward to that. After the game,

1625
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, we talked about it. I thought Daniel Jones

1626
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 1: played really well and again they early in the game.

1627
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: What Shane Steiken did, the number that was most frequently

1628
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: called at the beginning of that game was Josh downs.

1629
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: They're going to Josh downs early and often, and that

1630
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: I really do truly believe what that does is utilizing

1631
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 1: Josh downs in that regard. And it was Tyler Warren

1632
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 1: last week. When you can get guys. If you think

1633
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 1: about the Pacers offense and why Miles Turner was so

1634
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: important but that Pacers offense where they get the ball

1635
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:28,879
Speaker 1: on the high post and then they just rotate players

1636
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: that are like circular, like coming through and like a

1637
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 1: hot potato, throwing the ball around until they get one

1638
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: of them that's got an open shot. But they're bringing

1639
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Halliburton and say Shepherd or Nemhard or Nie Smith just

1640
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of circling that ball around and you do that

1641
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 1: for a while to keep defenses guessing before then you

1642
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,640
Speaker 1: find the guy that's open for a three. And the

1643
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Colts offense, I think is largely set in the outset

1644
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:05,680
Speaker 1: of the game on kind of that same mentality of

1645
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: just shuffling the ball around early in short plays in

1646
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:16,520
Speaker 1: rhythm passing, and then that all of a sudden allows

1647
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 1: that softens and expands the defense, because even though Denver

1648
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 1: was really coming off the corners and getting their quick

1649
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 1: Jones did a really good job of getting the ball

1650
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 1: out quickly and massaging through that defense. And it started

1651
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 1: with Josh downs and then later they got the big

1652
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:37,040
Speaker 1: play to Titl Warren and then of course Jonathan Taylor

1653
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 1: as a receiving back is a huge weapon for them

1654
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: and his development and that area is a huge step

1655
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: for them. But when they talked about just overall the

1656
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 1: necessity to be aware of Denver's defensive aggressiveness, I thought

1657
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 1: Jones and his quick prise sess was so important yesterday.

1658
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 1: And the other curveball to it that was Alec Pierce

1659
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 1: not being deep ball threat Alec Pierce, but rather being

1660
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: short off of the line reception Alec Pierce, and that's

1661
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 1: that's a newer element of his game. And I thought

1662
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: it was interesting because it's game two, Eddie. Let's be real,

1663
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 1: It's not seventeen games there, right, it's game two. But

1664
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: what was interesting to me was we just kind of

1665
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 1: almost wrote off when Alec Pierce, when Daniel Jones won

1666
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:38,559
Speaker 1: the job of well, gosh, the one guy that that's

1667
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: probably not good news for is Alec Pierce because he

1668
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:45,600
Speaker 1: is the behind the defense deep ball threat, you know,

1669
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: deep ball receiver threat, and Daniel Jones is not that guy.

1670
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: They aired it out a couple times yesterday and they

1671
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 1: did take their shot with his arm. But they instead

1672
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 1: of saying in a con tracked year, well, Alec Pierce

1673
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:03,639
Speaker 1: probably is gonna be looking to go somewhere else next year,

1674
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden they are designing new Wrinkles

1675
01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: to use him and use him effectively, and then that

1676
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: freeze up Warren and then, like I mentioned, Jonathan Taylor

1677
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: got going as well. But it was yesterday a fabulous win, and.

1678
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 14: That was a game.

1679
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: Yes, they were penalized eleven times, they made mistakes.

1680
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 6: But.

1681
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,759
Speaker 9: You said they made mistakes, Jake, right.

1682
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 1: I did you know what that means? Well, it's something

1683
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to take care of before they

1684
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: go into Tennessee.

1685
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 9: Right, they have to. They got to clean it up, right,

1686
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 9: That's what.

1687
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,519
Speaker 1: I mean when I say that. Daniel Jones reverted back

1688
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 1: to talking about things from yesteryear because now that they're

1689
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: two and zero and if you look at the areas

1690
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: where they need to improve, like the situation with penalties,

1691
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones talking about the confidence that that gives them

1692
01:35:06,320 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: now going into a division game against Tennessee and trying

1693
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: to go three. You know, this was Daniel Jones yesterday

1694
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:12,080
Speaker 1: after the game.

1695
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,200
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, having obviously looked at any Tennessee stuff,

1696
01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 17: we'll start on that tomorrow. We're gonna enjoy you know

1697
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 17: this tonight and then get back to work and see

1698
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:22,800
Speaker 17: where we can, you know, what we can clean up

1699
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 17: and what we need to do going into this week.

1700
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 17: But divisional game, it'll be, you know, a big game,

1701
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:28,599
Speaker 17: and we'll have to bring our best.

1702
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: Clean it up, baby, fired up eddie. That means indeed,

1703
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 1: back to it. That is the last year that was

1704
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 1: their official team slogan, just constantly needing to clean it up, right,

1705
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Well that are you know, Yeah, we'll work that out.

1706
01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: We gotta work through that, gotta work all night. We'll

1707
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 1: look at that and you know we got to get

1708
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 1: back and you know, clean it up. Yeah, yesterday, what

1709
01:35:55,040 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: happened was this the Colts put themselves in position and

1710
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: a year ago they had the infamous Jonathan Taylor play

1711
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 1: of dropping the football right before he crossed the goal line.

1712
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,719
Speaker 1: And yesterday he had a big moment in the first

1713
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:25,160
Speaker 1: quarter where he was running down the sideline and I

1714
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: said out loud, don't drop it. And Chris Wedlick down

1715
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: the way said the same thing at nearly the same time.

1716
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: It was the like the leaping play with Simme and

1717
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 1: Rice coming back into your mind. It was the same thing.

1718
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:39,800
Speaker 1: It came into your mind. And a year ago in

1719
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the game between the Colts and the Broncos, the Colts

1720
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,599
Speaker 1: should have won that game, and they dropped the ball

1721
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 1: literally and figuratively.

1722
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 3: Thank you.

1723
01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Yesterday. The Broncos should have won that game. But you

1724
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: don't look a gift horse or in this case said

1725
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: gift Bronco in the mouth. You take it and you

1726
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: say we are now two and zero. But what was

1727
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: the story yesterday was, at the end of that game,

1728
01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 1: the Colts put themselves in position you heard Shane Steichen

1729
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 1: mentioned there where they did not want to give opportunity

1730
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: back to Denver, and so they lined up for that

1731
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: field goal and missed it, and then there was the penalty.

1732
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 1: And you take what's given to you and you get

1733
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 1: the win, and you hit the second time. You made

1734
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: good on the opportunity that was presented to you. And

1735
01:37:48,840 --> 01:37:52,680
Speaker 1: part of why they did that, I think you know,

1736
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,519
Speaker 1: is because they did not trust that they were not

1737
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 1: going to put Denver back in the same spot where

1738
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 1: Denver was going to be able to hit a long

1739
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:04,680
Speaker 1: field goal. But the Colts yesterday did at the end

1740
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:07,919
Speaker 1: of that game, took advantage of kind of the football

1741
01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 1: gods shining down upon them, and they put themselves in

1742
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 1: that position they had they finally allowed someone else to

1743
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,720
Speaker 1: make the mistake that would get them a win, and

1744
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,960
Speaker 1: too often in the past we saw them hanging around

1745
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:31,320
Speaker 1: games and then it was their mistakes that turned out

1746
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 1: to be fatal. And in the end of that game,

1747
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 1: what was interesting was they Shane Steichen was and will

1748
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 1: continue to be critiqued for being too passive at the

1749
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:53,560
Speaker 1: end of the game. He explained it in terms of

1750
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: the clock management of wanting to make sure that he

1751
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,599
Speaker 1: bled that clock all the way down, but he went

1752
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:04,640
Speaker 1: away from what had worked to that point, which was

1753
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,759
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones and putting the ball in Daniel Jones' hands.

1754
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:12,040
Speaker 1: And an offense that has been remarkably efficient, an offense

1755
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: that set a record in the NFL for ten consecutive

1756
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 1: possessions with points, an offense that has yet to punt

1757
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 1: through two games, the first time in the Super Bowl

1758
01:39:22,200 --> 01:39:24,719
Speaker 1: era that a team has done that. And an offense

1759
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: that has been entrusted with Daniel Jones to make the

1760
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:31,679
Speaker 1: right play and make the right decision to continue moving

1761
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,680
Speaker 1: that offense. Their red zone offense struggles a little bit,

1762
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: but they still at least forgetting some points, but they

1763
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:40,640
Speaker 1: left some points on the board and eventually that is

1764
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: an area that they need to repair. But what is

1765
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: interesting to me is that the Colts are two and

1766
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 1: oh and at the end of that game, they are

1767
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:54,600
Speaker 1: two and oh because they went probably too passive and

1768
01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 1: they went with what was safer versus what would have

1769
01:39:58,840 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 1: been more enticing.

1770
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 9: Do you think you would ever discuss that, you know,

1771
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:04,560
Speaker 9: in training camp or leading up to the season, do

1772
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 9: you ever think you would utter the words that Shane

1773
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 9: Steiken was too complacent with how he ended the game

1774
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 9: and not putting in the ball on Daniel Jones instead

1775
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 9: of he put it in the hands of Jonathan Taylor,

1776
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 9: Like did you ever think that would have been a possibility?

1777
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Excellent point, And the answer is no for this reason.

1778
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 1: I would not have thought that. But the answers no

1779
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: for this reason because for the beginning of the season

1780
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:30,200
Speaker 1: and through camp, we anticipated and expected that their offense

1781
01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: was going to be more prolific and more high flying

1782
01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 1: because they were probably going to have Anthony Richardson. But

1783
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 1: Shane Stiken told us so much when he made that decision,

1784
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: because what he told us Eddie was that he was

1785
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:52,360
Speaker 1: going for efficiency versus sizzle. Anthony Richardson is the guy

1786
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: that has more big play capability. Anthony Richardson is the

1787
01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: guy that has more excitability, a big wow moment, everybody

1788
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: jumps out of their seat and the roof blows off.

1789
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil Stadium level play the sixty five yard pass

1790
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 1: to Alec Pierce falling off his back foot. That's the

1791
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that great moments are made of. That's

1792
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that like excitement level is made of.

1793
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 1: But he instead opted for the guy in Shane's in

1794
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones did Shane Steiken. That is more methodical, less sizzle,

1795
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:33,560
Speaker 1: but allows you to stay in the mix, which is

1796
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: exactly what he opted to do down the stretch yesterday.

1797
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: So by going with the handoff of Jonathan Taylor and

1798
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,760
Speaker 1: the clock rundown, that was less sizzle and less excitement,

1799
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 1: but it was more effective. So he went away from

1800
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones for the same reasons that initially he went

1801
01:41:55,640 --> 01:42:00,639
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones and Shane Steiken. For the most part,

1802
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 1: in many ways, has kind of told us what we've

1803
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 1: known all along, and what if we had been paying attention.

1804
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 1: He just continues to if you go back and look

1805
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 1: at it, you say, now I understand where the TVs are.

1806
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: Nick Cross going to join us, by the way, coming

1807
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:22,680
Speaker 1: up just over ten minutes from now. A couple of

1808
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 1: other notes from today. First off, in college football, Lee

1809
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:31,759
Speaker 1: b b Junior, who is a running back for Indiana.

1810
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 1: He was the transfer from UAB and Indiana had, like

1811
01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a ton of backs that carried

1812
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:38,519
Speaker 1: the ball and carried the ball well against Indiana State.

1813
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 1: Kobe Martin one of those from here in central Indiana

1814
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 1: that played well for them, I think, was the leading

1815
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,840
Speaker 1: rusher in that game against Indiana State. Kurt Signetti saying

1816
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 1: today that Martin will have an elevated role now because

1817
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: Lee Bbe Junior, the transfer running back, is out for

1818
01:42:53,960 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 1: the season now with a right knee injury. So that

1819
01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 1: is one bit of bad news for Indiana football. Indiana

1820
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:04,640
Speaker 1: getting a huge win over Indiana State and now it

1821
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: gets bigger against Illinois. There were a lot of people,

1822
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: Eddie that thought that game day.

1823
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 9: Was going to be there this weekend, I know, because

1824
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 9: it's the only matchup between two wanked teams.

1825
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:16,720
Speaker 1: And instead they're opting for is it LSU Florida.

1826
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:19,719
Speaker 9: No, they are opting for Miami in Florida.

1827
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. LSU just beat Florida, right, that's right, Yeah, Miami

1828
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,680
Speaker 1: and Florida, Which I get it. I mean, those are

1829
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:26,679
Speaker 1: two pretty big brands.

1830
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 9: Well it's SEC ESPN, don't you know.

1831
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean they are too. Here's the thing I hate

1832
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,680
Speaker 1: to say this. I hate saying this.

1833
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 9: Oh, I know where you're going with this. I agree.

1834
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 1: If you're a guy living in Spokane, Washington, or Glendale, Arizona,

1835
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: or you know, Lincoln, Nebraska, which game more wets your

1836
01:43:56,320 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: whistle when you see it on paper? Miami and Florida

1837
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,680
Speaker 1: or Indian Indiana Illinois are both very very good and

1838
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: they might have those four that we mentioned, but branding

1839
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:09,680
Speaker 1: goes a long way. But Indiana was dominant in their

1840
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 1: game against Indiana State. What did we say? It was

1841
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,560
Speaker 1: a forty Was it forty three and a half? Was

1842
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:16,560
Speaker 1: the spread forty six and a half? And I was like, no,

1843
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Indiana State, I'll cover that. They'll get

1844
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:23,800
Speaker 1: ten seventy three nothing and absolute, I mean it was

1845
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 1: they covered the spread by halftime, right, I don't know,

1846
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 1: actually have to come back a forty five nothing at

1847
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 1: the half? I think that's right, and then they just

1848
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 1: the problem for Indiana State was Indiana.

1849
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:40,840
Speaker 9: Indiana State covered? Yes, it was forty five nothing at

1850
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 9: half time.

1851
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. So the spread was forty six and

1852
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: a half. I would think it was forty three and

1853
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: a half forty six and a half, so it was

1854
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 1: in danger by halftime. But either way, what did we

1855
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 1: learn about Indiana in that game? I don't know what

1856
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:55,559
Speaker 1: we learned, to be honest with you, And that's the challenge.

1857
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 18: Now.

1858
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: One thing that we see is that Indiana clearly has

1859
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:05,640
Speaker 1: offensive weapons galore and offensive efficiency, and that's this is

1860
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 1: what they did a year ago. Even when Indiana was

1861
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 1: playing an inferior opponent, they would get a lead and

1862
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 1: then it was just avalanche time. Just push, push, push,

1863
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: and you know, the lead grows, grows, grows, and before

1864
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 1: you know it, you're like, man, this game's never not

1865
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: even in doubt for the last quarter and a half.

1866
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 1: And then when they went up against you know, legitimate

1867
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: strong opponents, they were able to hang around. I mean,

1868
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:35,599
Speaker 1: you know, obviously their only loss is with Ohio State,

1869
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, right, but it's a big one against Illinois

1870
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 1: for sure, and it's going to be under the lights,

1871
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:45,360
Speaker 1: which is cool at Memorial Stadium, Purdue in USC Obviously,

1872
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 1: long delay, three hours delay, I thought Purdue, I thought

1873
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: that was encouraging. I know, that that sounds crazy because

1874
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 1: they were never really in the game. They had some

1875
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,519
Speaker 1: costly turnovers in the red zone. But having said that,

1876
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: they you know, nationally televised game in ross Aid. I

1877
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: love Rosstate at night and the lights, I just love it.

1878
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: But they they are so markedly improved from a year ago.

1879
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: Though a year ago, that's a game and I know

1880
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 1: that USC is not the vented USC, but that's a

1881
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 1: game that a year ago, that that gets away from

1882
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 1: Purdue early and then it's just they're out of control.

1883
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: You know, it gets out of control. And I know

1884
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: Ryan waltzs was a defensive minded coach, but I just

1885
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 1: think that you can see now the button down nature

1886
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: of Purdue in terms of totality of staff that I

1887
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 1: don't think they had a year ago. And then Notre

1888
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,679
Speaker 1: Dame losing the text Anium. It was a great game,

1889
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:42,680
Speaker 1: and I know it was not the ending that the

1890
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: Irish wanted, and certainly being zero and two, they needed

1891
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 1: to get one of those two first kids. Both are

1892
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: pretty excusable losses, which is why Notre Dame is still ranked.

1893
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:58,519
Speaker 9: A lot of work to do, a lot of help

1894
01:46:58,560 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 9: they're gonna.

1895
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 1: Need they do, and the problem is you know their schedule,

1896
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: how many how many opportunities does Notre Dame now have

1897
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: to get a signature win if you will?

1898
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 9: They got what perdue this week. They have the razorback,

1899
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 9: their schedule is decent, They have the Razorbacks, who you

1900
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 9: know are solid. And that's a road game. Uh USC

1901
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,679
Speaker 9: who is now ranked after they win over Purdue Pitt

1902
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:29,400
Speaker 9: looks competent.

1903
01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 1: Andation that's it is Boise State having a down year. Yeah, yeah,

1904
01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: Boise State's one on one right, So and you got

1905
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: to give Notre Dame credit because at the time that

1906
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,639
Speaker 1: Boise State would have been scheduled, it was probably when

1907
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Boise State was you know in I mean, and you

1908
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 1: expect Boise State on most more years than not is

1909
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 1: going to be elite level. And yesterday, what'spping this would

1910
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:51,439
Speaker 1: be the year.

1911
01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:53,680
Speaker 9: For Notre Dame that they would probably want those cup

1912
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 9: take games on the front end just because I guess

1913
01:47:56,120 --> 01:48:00,639
Speaker 9: you're starting quarterback hadn't made a collegiate start yet. Instead,

1914
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 9: you've got two really tough opponents and you lose by

1915
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:04,960
Speaker 9: a possession.

1916
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 1: The fever yesterday dropping one to Atlanta. We will get

1917
01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:13,160
Speaker 1: into with Eddie who does the pre and postgame radio

1918
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 1: for that in just a little bit exactly what needs

1919
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,600
Speaker 1: to be to borrow the term cleaned up for the

1920
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 1: Fever before game number two, which will be tomorrow night

1921
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 1: at Gambridge Field House. But when we returned he was

1922
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,320
Speaker 1: the leading tackler yesterday and what has to be a

1923
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:31,560
Speaker 1: happy locker room for the Colts. Nick Cross, the athletic

1924
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 1: former Tariff and joins us next. By the way, Nick

1925
01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 1: Cross going to join us here in just a minute

1926
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:45,479
Speaker 1: pointed it out earlier, but it bears repeating a couple

1927
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 1: of things. Number one, the fact that the Colts went

1928
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 1: through that game without a single turnover. They just are

1929
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: playing with it. Just again you can call a conservative.

1930
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,760
Speaker 1: They're just playing really smart. I mean they are playing

1931
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 1: very very smart. Number one. And then number two. I

1932
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:09,600
Speaker 1: thought a really interesting point was made to me on

1933
01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 1: the expost twitter from Craig I think, is it Craig No,

1934
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:22,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jared, Sorry, Jared points this out. What stands

1935
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 1: out to me about Daniel Jones is how much better

1936
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: our wide receiver hands seemed to be catching his passes.

1937
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: He's got a touch that simply was missing last year.

1938
01:49:31,160 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 1: Not every pass needs to be one hundred mile an

1939
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 1: hour fastball. Last season, it felt like our receiver's hands

1940
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 1: were bricks. There's probably some truth to that. That was

1941
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 1: always a knock on Brett fav was it not? Was

1942
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, hey, listen, you don't need to throw the

1943
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: ball nine hundred miles an hour from you know, three

1944
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 1: yards away or six yards away or whatever it may be.

1945
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 1: But they are taking care of the football, and you

1946
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 1: know they did. They were heavily penalized, obviously, and that

1947
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 1: is one of the areas to use the term that

1948
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,720
Speaker 1: they need to clean up. But either way, it is

1949
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: the first time since two thousand and nine that the

1950
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 1: Colts are two and zero. Their offense has been efficient,

1951
01:50:15,920 --> 01:50:19,400
Speaker 1: and they got you know, a second lease on that

1952
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: penalty at the field goal. The guy yesterday that as

1953
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, when I heard some of Rick

1954
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 1: Ventury and he was saying, man, this has been a

1955
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 1: really good series, and he said that on a couple

1956
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: of occasions late in the game when the Colts needed stops,

1957
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: and he was talking about Nick Cross who joins us

1958
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 1: on the program now, the secondary and safety player for

1959
01:50:39,880 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: the Colts, that when he was brought into the league,

1960
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: was brought in because he was hyper athletic and now

1961
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 1: has molded himself into a very solid player for Indianapolis. Nick,

1962
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 1: how are you?

1963
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you?

1964
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:56,040
Speaker 1: I want to begin with exactly what I was just mentioning,

1965
01:50:56,120 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 1: and that is, and I know we're going back to

1966
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: when you were coming out of Maryland, but you know,

1967
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 1: when you came into the league, the kind of the

1968
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 1: selling point of Nick Cross was that you had range

1969
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 1: and that you you know, you had an athleticism about you.

1970
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: But then I think for any player coming in there,

1971
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,720
Speaker 1: there has to be an instinct that comes as well,

1972
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 1: what is your comfort level in the NFL now versus

1973
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: when you first came in, and just your overall kind

1974
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: of understanding in that center field position.

1975
01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like with anything that you know

1976
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:31,680
Speaker 3: involves the reps and repetition. Any any new environment just

1977
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 3: requires reps and repetition to adapt and to get better

1978
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 3: and to be able to go out there and play

1979
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 3: at the high level. So I mean, I think definitely

1980
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 3: just off of the year, you know, time I've spent,

1981
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:44,000
Speaker 3: you know a little bit of game experience I have

1982
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 3: now and you know obviously you know, playing close to

1983
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 3: the ball, you know, I feel like the comfortability continues

1984
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 3: to grow every rep I take, every game I play,

1985
01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:54,599
Speaker 3: and just trying to continue to be better.

1986
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: How are things different this year under this defense with

1987
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 1: lou and a room. I don't necessarily mean to sit

1988
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: here and compare and contrast to a year ago. But

1989
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,200
Speaker 1: but what is it about lou Anarumo's defense that is

1990
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: of like to you? I guess? And what was, if anything,

1991
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 1: the biggest learning curve of it?

1992
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:14,880
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, just a whole lot of different,

1993
01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,680
Speaker 3: you know, things we do on defense. You know, definitely

1994
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:22,000
Speaker 3: other thing a little more aggressive. But at the end

1995
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,560
Speaker 3: of the day, just you know, great teaching and fundamentals,

1996
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:29,600
Speaker 3: great teaching and technique, overall accountability and just you know,

1997
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 3: and make sure we play sound defensive football. So you know,

1998
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:35,439
Speaker 3: I enjoyed being coached by lou and Chris and coach

1999
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,439
Speaker 3: coach Wrong, you know, one of the great teachers.

2000
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 13: Nick.

2001
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 1: One of the things about this defense, Nick Cross of

2002
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 1: the Colts is our guest, Colts now two to zero

2003
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:47,640
Speaker 1: after they win yesterday against Denver. The from the outside,

2004
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to lou Anarumo and his defensive scheme,

2005
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 1: one of the things that is often said is that

2006
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of I guess I'll use the term

2007
01:52:58,200 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 1: stunt for lack of a lot of mask right, like

2008
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 1: trying to confuse an offense by presenting one look and

2009
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:09,679
Speaker 1: then playing something completely different and attacking from a different area.

2010
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 1: Is that number one a fair assessment of what you

2011
01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 1: guys are doing? And number two, is it challenging if

2012
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:19,680
Speaker 1: that's the case to line up one way and then

2013
01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 1: run something completely different in a quote unquote junk style.

2014
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:26,120
Speaker 3: Well, so yeah, I would say.

2015
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 19: I mean, at the end of the day, for life,

2016
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 19: you know, present a lot of different looks and everything,

2017
01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:31,160
Speaker 19: but you know, at the end of the days about

2018
01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:33,920
Speaker 19: you being in your playbook, know where you fit, knowing

2019
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,640
Speaker 19: your role in the defense, and being able to you know,

2020
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 19: Lou always said, never let your disguise.

2021
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 3: Get you out of your job. So it's just knowing

2022
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 3: where you're supposed to be at and playing playing at

2023
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:46,679
Speaker 3: a high level.

2024
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:50,840
Speaker 1: You know, the defensive backfield. I've always said, Nick, I'm

2025
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give you a line I've said on

2026
01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 1: the radio. Okay, I've always said that defensive backs and

2027
01:53:56,200 --> 01:54:00,360
Speaker 1: offensive lineman the two areas on a football team that

2028
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 1: are like cell phone chargers and sunglasses. You can never

2029
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 1: have too many, just because there's attrition that takes place,

2030
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: injury takes place, you know, rhythm, et cetera. And for

2031
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 1: that reason, we've already seen it with the corners, Okay,

2032
01:54:15,439 --> 01:54:19,760
Speaker 1: for you and your just the room in general. How

2033
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:25,280
Speaker 1: how much is familiarity with your teammates important in terms

2034
01:54:25,320 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 1: of solidarity of what it is that you want to

2035
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: do as a unit.

2036
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 3: I think it's important. You know, you play with the

2037
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 3: same guys. You get it familiarity, I'm able to communicate better,

2038
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 3: You know each other's playing style, so you can play

2039
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:38,400
Speaker 3: off of each other. And I think it's just one

2040
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:41,000
Speaker 3: of those things where you know that can the more

2041
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 3: you learn, the more you play with somebody, the more

2042
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 3: familiar you get, and the more just the more you

2043
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 3: play with them.

2044
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 1: And having said that, you know, obviously you saw you

2045
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,120
Speaker 1: have right before you in the corners a lot of

2046
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 1: guys that you are not overly familiar playing with, right

2047
01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 1: because of the situation that I just talked about with attrition.

2048
01:54:59,680 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 1: How much many games do you need to play as

2049
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:06,320
Speaker 1: a unit before you really do have a firm instinctive

2050
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 1: understanding of your teammate.

2051
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 3: I don't know that this is just a set number

2052
01:55:11,600 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 3: or anything like that. I think that you know, just

2053
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 3: like I said, a restaurant petition, in games, walk you know,

2054
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:20,640
Speaker 3: a film room, or you play with somebody, The more

2055
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:22,840
Speaker 3: you you know, communicate with them, the more that y'all

2056
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 3: you know, watch each other, want tight sher to operate,

2057
01:55:25,600 --> 01:55:27,280
Speaker 3: the better off think, the better things will be.

2058
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 1: Now I'd like to know Nick, by the way, what

2059
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 1: are you? Are you in the locker room now? Now

Speaker 1: I'm about to walk up, Okay I was. I was

2061
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 1: hoping like somebody was running past yelling at you there,

2062
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:43,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna throw them on. How much fun is it yesterday?

2063
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:47,200

01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 1: having to hit a kick, that big getting carried off,

2065

Speaker 3: able to go play the game on Sundays. You know,

2069
01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 3: opportunities don't get taken for granted. But it was great to,

2070
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 3: you know, go down to the wire and have an

2071
01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 3: exciting game like that. Denver is a really good team

2072
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 3: and really good players. They coach really well, so just

2073
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:13,800
Speaker 3: to be able to go all the way down to

2074
01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 3: the wire and come up with the victory. It's really special.

2075
01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:19,640
Speaker 1: Who are the leaders on your team? Like, who are

2076
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:22,360
Speaker 1: the guys that you look towards that when they I

2077
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:24,760
Speaker 1: always say, guys that when they walk in the locker room,

2078
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 1: everybody kind of stops to see just what the overall

2079
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: mood is and whatever else. Give me two or three guys.

2080
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 3: I probably say, you know Quintos on ze Buck, Guys

2081
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 3: who've done it for a high level, at a high

2082
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:43,640
Speaker 3: level for a long time. You know, even you know

2083
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 3: someone like you know Moon and Exag and they've just

2084
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 3: gotten here. Camp guys who's gotten here, but you know

2085
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 3: they've been playing at a high time where they've been

2086
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 3: at before. So it's good to see those guys and

2087
01:56:56,120 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 3: watch how they operate on a day to day basis.

2088
01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:00,920
Speaker 1: I think I've asked you this before, Nick, Nick Cross

2089
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 1: our guests oftentimes when I have a player on, I

2090
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,880
Speaker 1: will ask them the most famous person that came out

2091
01:57:08,920 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: of their high school. I have no idea how or

2092
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 1: why I began asking this question, but I think this

2093
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,680
Speaker 1: is a fair statement and I want your your thought

2094
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: on this. I don't know that any player in the NFL.

2095
01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:23,800
Speaker 1: If everybody was talking about like just overall athletic departments

2096
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 1: of their high school and alma mater. In the list

2097
01:57:26,520 --> 01:57:28,919
Speaker 1: of greatness that's come out of it, is there anybody

2098
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,320
Speaker 1: that could trump do matha Catholic high school in Maryland?

2099
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 3: Nah, I don't think anybody. Anybody comes close to it.

2100
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 3: From football and basketball, any any sport, you name it.

2101
01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:40,480
Speaker 3: You know, we got guys who are going on to

2102
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:42,120
Speaker 3: do it at a high level, just not just at

2103
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 3: the college level, but at the pro level. So you know,

2104
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 3: I don't think I think we we go toe to

2105
01:57:47,800 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 3: toe and or a lot greater in that category than

2106
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 3: majority of schools.

2107
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable now, So I'd like to know this for you.

2108
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:01,880

01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 1: the the you know, the n C State hero. You

2113
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 1: on and on, especially when you just look at the

2114
01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:15,920
Speaker 1: pipeline to Maryland in general, and the same as a

2115
01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:19,080
Speaker 1: long list of football guys, who was the hero for you?

2116
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:20,720
Speaker 1: Who was the one that set in the path for you,

2117
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: that you looked at and you said, you know what,

2118
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do is play at

2119
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 1: that level.

2120
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 3: I would say, you talk to the Matthew he's talking

2121
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 3: in general.

2122
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 1: At the math that when you were a kid growing up. Yeah,

2123
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean the guy that you that that maybe took

2124
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 1: you under the wing, or just that you looked at

2125
01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 1: and you really looked up to because you knew that

2126
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 1: you were going to go on the same path.

2127
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:48,640
Speaker 3: Oh, I would say, you know, I played with Chase Young,

2128

Speaker 3: He was a senior.

2132
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:57,160
Speaker 2: So just seeing how he operated, how he came to

2133
01:58:57,240 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 2: work every single day, and and and being able to

2134
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,040
Speaker 2: watch him work and watch him do his thing, and

2135
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 2: just watching his climb. You know, it was really special

2136
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:07,480
Speaker 2: to me because you're not played with my shirt.

2137

2147
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 2: him feel old, but you know, it's always fun to

2148
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 2: joke around about that. But those are the guys who

2149
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, of course, there are a whole bunch of

2150
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 2: guys who came through themata you know, played hard and

2151
01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:38,040
Speaker 2: do what they're supposed to and now are playing at

2152
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:43,320
Speaker 2: high level and continue to upset the pass. So yeah,

2153
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:46,080
Speaker 2: definitely Chase, Definitely, Robert Cloud, you guys like that.

2154
01:59:46,440 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 1: Now from a bas did you play basketball at all.

2155
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:51,000
Speaker 15: Growing up?

2156
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 2: In middle school?

2157
01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:52,960
Speaker 11: Not in high school?

2158
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:55,560
Speaker 1: Because Markel Foltz, who was the number one player taking

2159
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:58,120
Speaker 1: in the draft, right, I think, I don't know if

2160
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: you crossed over with him. Dickinson also, was there either

2161
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 1: of those guys there when you were there?

2162
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Markel, I was a freshman. Marquel was there and

2163
02:00:06,680 --> 02:00:09,680
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, very famously. You know, he would

2164
02:00:09,840 --> 02:00:12,440
Speaker 2: I remember you He saw me at the snack station

2165
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 2: one time and you know, gave me a couple of

2166
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 2: dollars to get like Ora Miguel or something like that.

2167
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 2: You know, so he was really down there, really down

2168
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:21,240
Speaker 2: to earth. As as a person. You know, and everybody

2169
02:00:21,320 --> 02:00:23,520
Speaker 2: knew at that point. You know, after his year at

2170
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 2: Washington he was gonna go be a lottery pick number

2171
02:00:26,440 --> 02:00:29,040
Speaker 2: one overall. So you know, just showed the type of

2172
02:00:29,120 --> 02:00:32,000
Speaker 2: guys that came through the MATHA Yeah, Hunter of a

2173
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:38,240

Speaker 2: great basketball player, and you know you've a better person.

2176
02:00:45,360 --> 02:00:47,480
Speaker 1: You could have waited one more year till you were sophomore.

2177
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Markel could have bought you the entire Romen factory as

2178
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:50,920
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, right.

2179

2180
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, Lastly, Nick Cross, our guest, really really good

2181
02:00:59,240 --> 02:01:01,280
Speaker 1: game yesterday for the Colts who are now too and

2182
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:05,320
Speaker 1: zero if you could, as you guys now get set

2183
02:01:05,360 --> 02:01:08,280
Speaker 1: for a divisional game against Tennessee, for our listeners and

2184
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 1: for Colts fans, can you just kind of give me

2185
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:15,480
Speaker 1: an explanation of the level of optimism and just the

2186
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 1: overall mood, let's say, now through two games, as opposed

2187
02:01:19,880 --> 02:01:22,840
Speaker 1: to the uncertainty perhaps at the beginning of the season.

2188
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:26,920
Speaker 3: I think you know, at this point we are we are.

2189
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,200
Speaker 3: We're just proving to ourselves or we already knew.

2190
02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:32,640
Speaker 2: You know, I always go and you know I've always

2191
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:34,320
Speaker 2: heard you know, You're not not here to prove everybody

2192
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:36,480
Speaker 2: else wrong. You're just here to prove yourself right, prove

2193
02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:40,080
Speaker 2: to yourself, proved to your teammates that you are the team,

2194
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:41,960
Speaker 2: you are the players that you say you want to be,

2195
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:46,160
Speaker 2: and that you are you say you are. So I

2196
02:01:46,200 --> 02:01:48,080
Speaker 2: think we just you know, focus on the process of

2197
02:01:48,280 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 2: continue to get better, you know, every single day queen

2198
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,400
Speaker 2: to the things that we are missing the game, and

2199
02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, just taking one day at a time, you know,

2200
02:01:56,480 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 2: not looking forward down the road. You know, seventeen seventeen.

2201
02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:02,640
Speaker 3: Around boxing matches, you know who playing in.

2202
02:02:02,640 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 2: This season, and you know, at the end of the day,

2203
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:07,200
Speaker 2: we're now, we're we're through two rounds. You got round

2204
02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 2: three coming up, and you know, it's just one of

2205
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:10,640
Speaker 2: those days. You just got to take one round at

2206
02:02:10,640 --> 02:02:13,520
Speaker 2: the time until you look up and then you're where.

2207
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 3: You want to be.

2208
02:02:14,280 --> 02:02:16,839
Speaker 1: Hey other side of the ball, I realized, but obviously

2209
02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:19,600
Speaker 1: you would be, you know, watching them from especially a

2210
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,720
Speaker 1: really good perspective back there from the safety spot. Your

2211
02:02:22,840 --> 02:02:27,240
Speaker 1: overall impressions, Nick of Daniel Jones and as well. Tyler Warren.

2212
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, now you you know a real good guy,

02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 2: you know, very.

2215
02:02:35,800 --> 02:02:37,880
Speaker 3: Very methodical the way he goes throughout his business. And

02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, I enjoy watching him play.

2217
02:02:39,480 --> 02:02:41,680
Speaker 2: You know, the you know, someone I'll go against some

2218
02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:47,280

2219
02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:49,680
Speaker 2: ball in his hand, has a great feel out there already.

2220
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:51,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm excited to continue to watch them, and

2221
02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:53,800
Speaker 3: you know that due will go and do that thing.

2222
02:02:55,240 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: Nick Cross, the safety for the Colts. Colts of course

2223
02:02:58,360 --> 02:03:00,800
Speaker 1: getting set now for Tennessee, so you kind of turn

2224
02:03:00,880 --> 02:03:04,400
Speaker 1: the page to get ready for that one after the

2225
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:08,720
Speaker 1: win yesterday against the Denver Broncos. Nick, A pleasure as always, man.

2226

02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:14,080

Speaker 3: Sound good. Appreciate it, Thank you all.

2230
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Nick Cross joining us on the program,

2231
02:03:19,920 --> 02:03:23,160
Speaker 1: the former terp from Maryland. All right, we come back

2232
02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:27,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. It is the Fever and the Atlanta Dream

2233
02:03:27,240 --> 02:03:31,960
Speaker 1: in Game two of the WNBA playoffs, and if they

2234
02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:33,720
Speaker 1: do not win it it would be the final game

2235
02:03:33,800 --> 02:03:36,680
Speaker 1: of the season. Eddie Garrison is the pre and post

2236
02:03:36,760 --> 02:03:39,480
Speaker 1: game host for those broadcasts. The radio broadcasts for the Fever.

2237
02:03:39,880 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 1: What went wrong yesterday and what needs to improve before

2238
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 1: tomorrow that and we will hand it off to John.

2239
02:03:45,160 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 1: We'll do it all next. Eddie Garrison is the pre

2240
02:03:50,160 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 1: and post game host for the Indiana Fever's radio broadcast

2241
02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:58,720
Speaker 1: and they tomorrow night face a winner go home situation

2242
02:03:59,040 --> 02:04:01,000
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Dream and Eddie, I guess the question

2243
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,920
Speaker 1: is yesterday, what did go wrong down in Atlanta? Other

2244
02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:06,000
Speaker 1: than a court that was impossible to see what was

2245
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 1: going on on television, the Fever.

2246
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:11,520
Speaker 9: Really couldn't knock down any three pointers of the two fifteen,

2247
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 9: and a lot of credit has to go towards the Dream.

2248
02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 9: They play a style of defense that makes things hard

2249
02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:20,320
Speaker 9: on anybody. They like to take away your airspace, so

2250
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:23,360
Speaker 9: they're pretty much up in your grill the entire game

2251
02:04:23,440 --> 02:04:25,280
Speaker 9: and like to play physical with you for the entirety

2252
02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:27,840
Speaker 9: of the game. And Indiana just struggled to make shots.

2253
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,480
Speaker 9: It looked like they lost their confidence in the second

2254
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:32,800
Speaker 9: quarter when they started throwing up some bricks and just

2255
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 9: never were able to really, you know, come back they

2256
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 9: tied it twice, and then Atlanta goes on two big

2257
02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 9: runs and then the Emotions got the best of the

2258
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 9: Fever in the fourth quarter, like they were still in it,

2259
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 9: they still had a chance. And then I understand the

2260
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:48,400
Speaker 9: officiating is not great in the WNBA, but the Stephanie

2261
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,160
Speaker 9: White got a technical foul. Obviously Sim's got a technical foul.

2262
02:04:51,600 --> 02:04:53,520
Speaker 9: And Atlanta goes on a night nothing run to start

2263
02:04:53,560 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter, and the Fever never really regrouped. So

2264
02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:58,680
Speaker 9: game number two tomorrow, seven thirty pre game covered right

2265
02:04:58,720 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 9: here at seven to fifteen and.

2266
02:05:00,480 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 1: Has a ride. I forgot it was on What's that

2267
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I forgot it was on the crossover. Now it's about

2268
02:05:07,200 --> 02:05:08,920
Speaker 1: not going to be long before your furnace has to

2269
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:09,520
Speaker 1: be on right.

2270
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:12,960
Speaker 18: Well, well the AC's on right now, you're right thanks

2271
02:05:12,960 --> 02:05:14,920
Speaker 18: to Johnny Chris Love. I love hitting an air. That's

2272
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:17,320
Speaker 18: what happens, man, you go up and down. That works

2273
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,720
Speaker 18: on the efficiency. That's why you've got to make sure

2274
02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 18: your system's efficient. Love Dash HHSVAC dot com of the crossover.

2275
02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:27,800
Speaker 1: H John your thoughts on yesterday. I know you're getting

2276
02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:29,360
Speaker 1: ready for the big show today to be able to

2277
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 1: expand on exactly that. It was exciting, Jake, it was.

2278
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:34,640
Speaker 18: I thought it was a little bit of payback right

2279
02:05:34,960 --> 02:05:37,880
Speaker 18: Conra wise, because the Colts did so much to blank

2280
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:40,880
Speaker 18: up everything in December a year ago, and it was

2281
02:05:40,960 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 18: almost like things are evening out.

2282
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I will say this, the Colts are due.

2283
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:50,400
Speaker 18: When you're good, start to get good, you're doing things right,

2284
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,000
Speaker 18: things are going your way, the good fortune starts to

2285
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 18: roll in. That's how you're going to know this thing

2286
02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:58,160
Speaker 18: could be in it for the long haul, for the

2287
02:05:58,240 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 18: season if you start to get good for it like

2288
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 18: what they had yesterday. Because Denver really did blank the

2289
02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:04,400
Speaker 18: entire thing up.

2290
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Totally, no question. I mean, can you imagine the.

2291
02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:11,520
Speaker 18: And then Shane tried to but can you imagine success.

2292
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 1: Calls or reaction we would be getting if they had.

2293
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 18: People would be wanting to fire Shane Steiken. Correct, There's

2294
02:06:20,920 --> 02:06:24,680
Speaker 18: no question people will view that as a quote fireble

2295
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:27,720
Speaker 18: offense if they were to lose it and you're playing

2296
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 18: for a sixty yard fueld goal.

2297
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he absolutely. I mean, listen, they got don't look

2298
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 1: at gift to Hords in the mouth, right, they got

2299
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the extra chance they hit it.

2300
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:40,000
Speaker 18: But still, you know what I mean, why would you

2301
02:06:40,120 --> 02:06:42,520
Speaker 18: around here too, and you're still looking for that juice.

2302
02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:44,160
Speaker 18: You and I kind of remarked to one another that

2303
02:06:44,240 --> 02:06:47,040
Speaker 18: they're still empty seats there late afternoon game.

2304
02:06:47,120 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: The phone was to be had before in the game.

2305
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:51,560
Speaker 18: But they're still trying to build back that goodwill of

2306
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 18: telling everybody what they're going to do and then never

2307
02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:57,840
Speaker 18: you know, leading down that path to earning that and

2308
02:06:57,960 --> 02:06:59,240
Speaker 18: now they're trying to earn that back.

2309
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:01,360
Speaker 1: By the way, I thought Indiana State would cover.

2310
02:07:02,120 --> 02:07:06,040
Speaker 18: Good Lord, I love Kurt Mallory, what a mess. I

2311
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:08,160
Speaker 18: think they may have covered as if US three would

2312
02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 18: have played, because I think we're the only three that

2313
02:07:10,320 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 18: didn't play. I think they had the dish you had

2314
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:14,760
Speaker 18: the dishwasher in there and everybody, I mean, what the hell?

2315
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,560
Speaker 1: Uh the year now with a knee injury. By the way,

2316
02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 1: for Indiana that was announced earlier today.

2317
02:07:21,480 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 18: By Eastern Illinois and McKendree. If Indiana State beats them,

2318
02:07:26,160 --> 02:07:27,600
Speaker 18: how about's Eastern Illinois?

2319
02:07:27,840 --> 02:07:32,120
Speaker 1: Good God? And it's Western Illinois, the one that's supposedly

2320
02:07:32,200 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 1: like the worst program in the country.

2321
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 18: Right, Yeah, Eastern Illinois got some former guys there NFL

2322
02:07:38,960 --> 02:07:39,640
Speaker 18: Sean Payton was.

2323
02:07:39,680 --> 02:07:45,880
Speaker 1: John Payton Jimmy Garoppolo Shanahan. Yeah, I mean absolutely brutal.

2324
02:07:45,920 --> 02:07:47,560
Speaker 1: All right, so yeah, give me the line up again.

2325
02:07:47,640 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: What's on the big show today?

2326
02:07:49,080 --> 02:07:50,640
Speaker 18: I think we'll just do it Stephen Holder. I'm going

2327
02:07:50,720 --> 02:07:52,000
Speaker 18: to do a lot of reaction. I have a lot

2328
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 18: of thoughts to it today, and uh what was it interesting?

2329
02:07:56,120 --> 02:07:58,560
Speaker 18: The calls were great. The one call I haven't heard

2330
02:07:58,640 --> 02:07:59,920
Speaker 18: yet is the Denver radio call.

2331
02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:01,480
Speaker 9: I do want to hear that.

2332
02:08:01,640 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully we have that a little bit on that. The

2333
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 1: leverage penalty, yeah, you know was announced. Leverage. What's the

2334
02:08:11,120 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 1: first play you thought of?

2335
02:08:12,160 --> 02:08:13,720
Speaker 18: Don't you have to come up with something other than

2336
02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:14,240
Speaker 18: the leverage?

2337
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Well, the leaping?

2338
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:15,840
Speaker 14: Right?

2339
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Do you remember the leaping play with Simeon Rice? That

2340
02:08:18,320 --> 02:08:19,600
Speaker 1: was the first thing I thought of. That's the only

2341
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:20,320
Speaker 1: other time I've.

2342
02:08:20,240 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 18: Ever seen leverage sounds too?

2343
02:08:24,840 --> 02:08:27,040
Speaker 9: Is that vague? It's really vague?

2344
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:27,240
Speaker 14: Right?

2345
02:08:27,360 --> 02:08:30,600
Speaker 1: Leverage okay? Great? Leaping is if you're jumping, and leverage

2346
02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:34,040
Speaker 1: if you're pushing yourself off. I think, right, okay, Well.

2347
02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:36,280
Speaker 9: Either way, leverage is when you use somebody else to

2348
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:38,680
Speaker 9: your benefit, so like you can't hold down an offensive line.

2349
02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:40,920
Speaker 1: That's way. Leaping is like if you leap off of

2350
02:08:41,000 --> 02:08:41,360
Speaker 1: a player.

2351
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:43,400
Speaker 9: Well, leaping is when you try to jump over and

2352
02:08:43,480 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 9: you make contact with the long snapper. You can't do

2353
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:46,720
Speaker 9: that either.

2354
02:08:47,760 --> 02:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Now the leaping verse Simeon Rice was he was leaping

2355
02:08:50,360 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 1: off the back of a teammate, which you would think

2356
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:55,320
Speaker 1: is leverage. But I guess it's because he was pushing

2357
02:08:55,360 --> 02:08:57,120
Speaker 1: off with his legs instead of his hands.

2358
02:08:57,200 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 18: So you do that, he because it's the final play,

2359
02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:03,200
Speaker 18: what you think, And b you do that because you

2360
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 18: think it's going to come off his foot as a

2361
02:09:04,880 --> 02:09:08,520
Speaker 18: line drive, right, because you're going to be kicking that

2362
02:09:08,600 --> 02:09:12,080
Speaker 18: thing so low. But it had been better off from

2363
02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 18: sixty to go ahead, and you know what the hell,

2364
02:09:15,520 --> 02:09:18,960
Speaker 18: you're lucky you held them. And then the coaching didn't

2365
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 18: go really trying to get the certain amount of yardage

2366
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 18: it's necessary, So don't you just do it like he

2367
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:25,560
Speaker 18: normally was.

2368
02:09:25,640 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 1: I got chack with it, But to me, that shows

2369
02:09:31,200 --> 02:09:34,080
Speaker 1: that Shane Stiken felt more comfortable in the possibility of

2370
02:09:34,160 --> 02:09:36,120
Speaker 1: hitting a sixty yard field goal than he did his

2371
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 1: special teams, limiting Denver that opportunity to get one of

2372
02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 1: their own.

2373
02:09:40,520 --> 02:09:43,360
Speaker 18: I just thought my worry was making sure you scored here,

2374
02:09:43,720 --> 02:09:47,240
Speaker 18: and he wasn't doing that. He wasn't doing that. He

2375
02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 18: got to do over There's no doubt about that about

2376
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:53,360
Speaker 18: Denver screwing it up. Though you had the interception that

2377
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:56,200
Speaker 18: the bottom had the overthrow. I think Rover Stewart maybe

2378
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:59,960
Speaker 18: tipped the ball and then you had the lutz don't

2379
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:00,720
Speaker 18: ink on the right.

2380
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:02,800
Speaker 1: Up right, which I still say, if you hit the

2381
02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:04,720
Speaker 1: upright it should be five points instead of three. That's

2382
02:10:04,760 --> 02:10:06,960
Speaker 1: harder to do, it is pretty skilled. How about all

2383
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:09,600
Speaker 1: the kicks around the NFL missed yesterday? You know you

2384
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:11,800
Speaker 1: noticed that every year we get that where we're like,

2385
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:13,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, guys, we're missing extra points all of

2386
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:17,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, and we gotta do something new now. All right,

2387
02:10:17,960 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 1: John's up next. We will be back with you at

2388
