1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody noticed, but it's football weather outside.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: We've got initial fifty three man roster to talk about

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: for the Indianapolis Colts. Probably some more maneuvering to be

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: done today before they announce another fifty three man roster

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: at about four o'clock today. At some point Shane Steichen

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: will meet with the media and we'll find out what's

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: going on. Are Colts guys, James Boyd from the Athletic

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 2: Kevin Bowen right here in ninety three five one oh

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: seven five the fan and Mark Dyketon just refreshing that

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: button to see who was getting cut and waved all

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: day long yesterday. I'm jeff Rickard. Welcome to the show

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: this morning. How you doing today?

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: Man?

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: Doing all right?

16
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: Everybody?

17
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: James, Yes, sir. Just to clarify, we will hear from

18
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: Chris Baller later today, but not Shane Stikeen.

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: Hmmm, interesting stuff. We ought to be hearing from lou Anarumo.

20
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: The way that the defense is coming together. It seems

21
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: like a lot of lou Ana Rumo sway on that

22
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: side of the football.

23
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Kevan's going to say, his voice clearly being heard. Yeah again,

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: just to echo kind of what I was saying yesterday.

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: I have not seen this much cornerback movement really, and

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: I shouldn't even say cornerback, I should say any positional

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: movement in the nine years of Chris Bouard. And obviously

28
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: yesterday we did see a big name cut in the

29
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: sense of a second round pick, and that is Juju Brent.

30
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: So I know it's a conversation that we had over

31
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: the last handful of days. I thought he would still

32
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: make it, but boy, they are retooling this roster and

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: James Wood it sounds like they're maybe not done with

34
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 1: another veteran that they're bringing into workout here later today.

35
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was able to confirm that Mike Hilton will

36
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 4: be in Indianapolis today to work out for the Colts.

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 4: This is a guy who started, I believe, fifty plus

38
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: games in his career, has starteen in receptions in his career,

39
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: and oh, by the way, prior to join the Miami

40
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 4: Dolphins for their offseason program this year, he said, the

41
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: last four years in Cincinnati with Ding Ding ding Lewin Rumo.

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot to look forward to just four linebackers

43
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: on the rosters. You guys had surmised on the defensive

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: side of the football and a tight end. Just as

45
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: you guys it talked about yesterday, Julani Woods no longer

46
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: part of the program. We talked about some more maneuvering

47
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: that will need to be done today. It almost always

48
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: happens that way. Anybody that you guys could see still

49
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: on the bubble right now, somebody who could still be

50
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: brought back. You talked about bringing another cornerback, but anybody

51
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: that was waived yesterday that might be around again.

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think, I mean for right now, I'm

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: just trying to see. I guess what the Mike Hilton

54
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 4: addition potentially couldn't mean for the rest of the cornerback room.

55
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: So if anybody seem a little bit nervous, perhaps it's

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: that room because that's the one that's been almost influx

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: this offseason.

58
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah.

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: Also, Juju Brentz, an Indianapolis area native, after his in

60
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: the midst of his second training camp, has been released

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: at this point in time, was that a bit of

62
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: a surprise to you at all?

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Third year year for Juju? You know again, I think

64
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: there were some tea leaves over the last handful of days.

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: I think I said it's you guys on air, like, boy,

66
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: this is one that I am going to feel kind

67
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: of like an idiot if a you know whatever four

68
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: oh one rules around on Tuesday and he does show

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: up on the waved list, and.

70
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: In fairness, see you it was not four to one,

71
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: a little more like five.

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah officially, yeah, yeah, it was a lot later. It's

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: unfortunate because I think Juju is a good dude. I

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: think he's done a lot for the community there, but

75
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: he's missed more games than Anthony Richardson. I mean, you know,

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: when you put it just in that light, that's really difficult.

77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: And he also missed boy, it was close to a month.

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: It seemed like here definitely multiple weeks here in this

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: year's training camp. And you know, ever since the hire

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: of lou An Arumo, we've had this conversation where we

81
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: have to start referring to guys as lou An Arumo

82
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: guys versus Gus Bradley guys.

83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were on this early and.

84
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Juju doesn't fall into that boat like a lot of

85
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: these guys. And that's just the reality of where things

86
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: stand on the defensive side of the ball. And you

87
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: know what a credit to Chris Baller for opening up

88
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: his ears and listening to lou and realizing, Hey, our

89
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: secondary has been a major issue in recent years, our

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: cornerback depth. Do you think about this time last year, James,

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: the cornerback group, we were screaming and yelling on this Wednesday.

92
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: You got to go out and find guys, and sure

93
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: enough they found Samuel Walmack and they claimed him and

94
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: he ended up playing important STAPs for them in the

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: month of September. Well, now Samuel Walmack's not even making

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: this team, and you're referencing, you know, Mike Hilton as

97
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: a guy that they're bringing in here. So this isn't it.

98
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't again, I've never seen a position group that

99
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: they have put this much attention to in one offseason. Now,

100
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: are there some questions there? Yeah, you have several of

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: these guys that didn't even play.

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: Part of it is age. I'm like, man, they got

103
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 4: some old cornerbacks.

104
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Age, and for whatever reason, you know, guys like Blackman,

105
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: Makai Blackman, acl didn't play last year, Xaviing Howard didn't

106
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: play football last year. So they have to prove themselves,

107
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, here in the year of twenty twenty five.

108
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: But just in general, I do think with the defensive

109
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: system changing and LouAnn Arimo's arrival and the personnel changing,

110
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: this is what you want to see out of your

111
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: general manager. We have an issue at a position, we

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: need to go out and try to address it, and

113
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: they have done that in a very very major way.

114
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: And we'll see what it looks like here coming up

115
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: a week from Sunday.

116
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be a lot of fun to see

117
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: how it all shakes out when the game start getting played.

118
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 2: And it'll be interesting today to see if there are

119
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: a few more roster maneuvers to be had for the

120
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Cults, and we'll see how that all plays out.

121
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: Last night, the Indiana Fever coming up with a much

122
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: needed win. James Boyd is they all of a sudden

123
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: with that win catapult themselves into sixth place right now

124
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: in the playoff race. The top eight make the teams

125
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: and now have a little bit of a two game

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: cushion over the ninth place Los Angeles Sparks. So that

127
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: was a big win for the Fever last night. They

128
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: could be right there on the edge fighting for their

129
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: lives if they lose that game last night, and they

130
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: might still be, but they're in a much better spot now.

131
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely to Lexi Hall had the nod of her head

132
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: early in the game, got knocked out of that game

133
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: really and then came back and still was a big,

134
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: big contributor to that team, plus thirty one in her

135
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: twenty three minutes. I got a kick out of seeing

136
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: her express herself to Indie Star after the game about

137
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 4: how it felt. She said, the not so was so

138
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: big on her head and for context there she ran

139
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: into Gabby Williams of the Seattle Storm, or they ran

140
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: into each other rather Yeah, I mean I was thinking, man, Lexi,

141
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: the coltie some you know, safeties or cornerbacks, we'll.

142
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: Give you a call.

143
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: And the help of the youth movement there.

144
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was able to, you know, come back into

145
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: the game contribute, And I just thought, again aside from

146
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 4: her and in her saying she's okay, you know that

147
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: the nod of her head honestly is kind of jarring

148
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: to see. But again, collective efort from everyone involved. Eliah

149
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: Boston was brilliant last night. Twenty seven points. Kelsey Mitchell,

150
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: I believe broke the single season scoring record for the

151
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: Fever Odyssey, Sims shout out to Otsssey Simms. I mean,

152
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: this is somebody who was on the roster a couple

153
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and she comes in and has a

154
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: huge game, and I think when she banked in that

155
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: three in the fourth quarter, everyone's just like, it's your night.

156
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: So not only was it a big win, but the

157
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: way they did it was true. You know, it kind

158
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: of felt like the Pacers in a sense where everyone's involved,

159
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: everyone's feeling good, and you go out there and kind

160
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: of proves mighty wrong.

161
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, for most of the second half, really all the

162
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: second half, Seattle never really was. Yeah, that was a beat.

163
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: They've probably had better individual games this season, I think

164
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: the Commissioner's Cup win Indigo. But in terms of like urgency, yeah, yeah,

165
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: like that was met last night. So yes, wonderful performance. Yeah,

166
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: James pointed out so many individuals Leah Boston continues to

167
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: have a really nice season. So now they go out

168
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: last and that type of urgency has to be there

169
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: because again the Sparks the Valkyriz these next two games,

170
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: teams are right there with them in the standings there

171
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: and based off what Stephanie White said, to Jake yesterday,

172
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like the Caitlin Clark return is going

173
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: to happen here anytime soon. She mentioned five practices needed,

174
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: and right now she's at zero. And we know how

175
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: practices work. When you're in season, you don't practice very often,

176
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: maybe twice maybe three times a week. So don't expect

177
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: the return to Caitlyn Clark anytime soon. So this bunch

178
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: is gonna have to try to continue to muster up

179
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: what they did last night here for the final couple

180
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: right your season weeks?

181
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: Can I give a shout out real quick, absolutely shout

182
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: out to Q, you know, listener of the show, fan

183
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: of the showut permanent shot out.

184
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

185
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: So I had two free tickets to the Fever game yesterday.

186
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: I had given them away originally, and then the person

187
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: I gave them too came back and said, oh I

188
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 4: can't make it, and I honestly forgotten to give them

189
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 4: away again. And so I reached out on Twitter yesterday

190
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: maybefore thirty, and I was like, Hey, anybody want to

191
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: go to the game. You got thirty minutes to apply

192
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: to this tweet to White Loved Women's Basketball. You applied

193
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 4: told me, Hey, you know I want to show my

194
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: daughter that the woman can get it done too, So

195
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: gave him the tickets. He tells me. I'm assuming he

196
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 4: had a great time, and so shout out to Q man.

197
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: Got a chance to go to what I believe was

198
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: turned out to be a really good game and also

199
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: especially well night for Kaitlin Clark. You though she didn't play.

200
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: Everyone there got one of the t shirts with a

201
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: new logo on it from Nike, and you know, Kaitlyn

202
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: Clark was here. That was sort of the theme yesterday

203
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: for yesterday's game, So a cool environment for him and

204
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: his daughter. So I'm glad those tickets went to somebody

205
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 4: who could really enjoy him.

206
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: I saw Stephanie white Rock and the new CC logo

207
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: on the sideline line if you superstitches, I guess, keep

208
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: it on. Yeah, don't take that thing off. At this

209
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: point in time, they could use all the they can

210
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: get as they try to head down the stretch. And

211
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: we'll tell you more details on that coming up in

212
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: just a moment. Any other big news around the NFL

213
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: that surprised you guys or race dry brows.

214
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I always kind of pay attention to some of

215
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: the local names and what happens to them on cut

216
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: down day. Carson Steele did get cut. Obviously, he was

217
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: really one of the darlings I think of the NFL

218
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: this time of year last year. So he got cut

219
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs. So, you know, we'll see how the

220
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: next twenty four to forty eight hours play out. You know,

221
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: oftentimes you see that headline and it's jarring, oh my gosh,

222
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: but you know, said player gets cut and then boom,

223
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a waiver claim and they turn out to be

224
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: and it's a situation that they're now coveted in again.

225
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see how things kind of play out there

226
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: for him. So that was a name that I saw

227
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: jump out there, if anyone cares. Sam Ellinger got caught

228
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: by the Broncos. They decided not to keep a third quarterback.

229
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: The Colts did keep Riley Leonard on their fifty three

230
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: man roster. It's just kind of a roster numbers game.

231
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: Some teams choose to play, some teams choose not to play.

232
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, those are a couple of names that stood

233
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: out to me. And tonight we've got TJ. McConnell night

234
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: over at Victory Field m Are.

235
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 2: They have a bobblehead over there ownder for him or

236
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: it is just the.

237
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Do not know about the bobblehead, but I'm not saying

238
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: there is.

239
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, just a question.

240
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: I know about the first pitch and I know TJ

241
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: McConn again, we're sliding into first base, we're moving runners over.

242
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: I believe a hidden ball trick might be a nice totally, Yes.

243
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: Every stolen base should be acknowledged as a TJ McConnell. Sure,

244
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: as a statistic.

245
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: I'm all for it.

246
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: So should be a beautiful night.

247
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 5: Over the autographs signing, get their early autograph signing.

248
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: Yes, five thirty I believe for that. Yes, TJ McConnell.

249
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: Knight over at the vicar.

250
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, we'll tell you all about everything else that

251
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: happened in the world of sports while you were sleeping.

252
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: We'll do it as we continue, and a big roster

253
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: of guests that will tell you about next two as

254
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: we continue. On the Fan on a Wednesday ninety three

255
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: five one oh seven five of the Fan, Good morning everyone.

256
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: If you're just jumping in your car or you're taking

257
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: whatever transportation to work right now, you got the earbuds in,

258
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: you want to know what's going on with the Indianapolis Colts.

259
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: They have an initial fifty three man roster NFL mandated

260
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: cut down time four o'clock in the afternoon yesterday the

261
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: Colts met that didn't officially announce it for about an

262
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: hour after that. Kevin Bowen kind of what we had

263
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: talked about yesterday, especially at tight end cornerback right, well, tight.

264
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: End, certainly, I didn't think Gilani would to make the

265
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: team corner though, I thought Juju Brents would would make it,

266
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, that to me was a surprise. Now is

267
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: their merit behind it is a reason, certainly, and we

268
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: kind of went over that the first segment will continue

269
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: to go over that throughout the day. But they doesn't

270
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: sound like they're done at corner either. So it's pretty

271
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: amazing how big will one to eighty that position specifically

272
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: has taken under lou Anarumo. They kept eleven defensive linemen,

273
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: which is so on brand for Chris Ballard. I don't

274
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: know how you have room for all these defensive tackles,

275
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: but that's typical Ballard. Just four linebackers though, so we'll

276
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: see what happens today. Waiver claims. Usually you see those

277
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: names start to trickle out around lunchtime and Chris Boward

278
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: will speak to the media a little bit after that.

279
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: Twelve forty five. From what you guys had told me

280
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: earlier in James Boyd, they may not be done at

281
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: cornerback yet.

282
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're bringing in Mike Hilton her sources to the

283
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: Athletic that and he will work out for the Colts today,

284
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 4: So he could be another addition to this team if

285
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: you're looking at what he actually will bring. He's more

286
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: of a slot guy, So I wonder if that's somebody

287
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: they would look at to potentially backup kennymore the second

288
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: or considering they might play with more cornerbacks on the

289
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: field this year under Luanarumo. Just somebody else who's proven

290
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: he can play at a fairly high level old fifty

291
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: game in his career, thirteen receptions in his career and

292
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: again has played for Luinroumo for the last four years,

293
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: so he's very familiar with the system.

294
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: Kevin, one other question, I want to ask you about

295
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: six wide receivers. I don't think there were any real

296
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: surprises there, but they had some good choices to pick from,

297
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: did they not.

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the six were pretty clear. Nothing against

299
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: coleman Owen and Lawan Treadwell. I think both of them

300
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: had really nice preseasons, and I think in a perfect

301
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: world you would throw them onto the practice squad. But

302
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, the wide receiver groups went relatively healthy as well.

303
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I'd throw running back in there as another area that

304
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: they should look to add, especially if Tyler Goodson is

305
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: going to miss any time to start the regular season.

306
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: And I don't have really any confidence in a pass

307
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: catching running back for the Colts right now, so that

308
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: would be something that I would look into as well.

309
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll find out more about the Colts a

310
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: little bit later on today. Last night over at the

311
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: field House, Indiana Fever improved their record to twenty and

312
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: eighteen on the season with a dominant ninety five seventy

313
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: five win over the Seattle Storm. That now means they

314
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 2: are in sixth place in the league. The top eight

315
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: will make the playoffs. They're three and a half games

316
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: behind the fourth place Phoenix Mercury for a home spot

317
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 2: in the first round. They are two up on LA

318
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: for the ninth spot. That would be the first spot

319
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: on the outside looking in. But a big night for

320
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: Lea Aboston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Odyssey Simms.

321
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: James.

322
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: Boy, Yeah, sh out to Ottysey Simms. I believe she's

323
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: like a former number two pick in it's kind of

324
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: bounced around the league in recent years. But she's contributed

325
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: to his team very well. And you could just tell

326
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: this team really enjoys being around each other and obviously

327
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: winning helps that. And they got a huge one last night.

328
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240

00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Buck get her she did in college at Ohio States,

333
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: and she has done it here in the WNBA. And

00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: shout out speaking of the Big ten to Mackenzie Holmes.

335
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I know there were some people in the building last

336
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: night that wanted to see the former IU all time

337
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,360

340
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,920

Speaker 2: All Right, and the Indiana Fever. As I said, move

343
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: on without Caitlin Clark for the time being. Sixteen games

344
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: in a row she's missed now for them, but the

345
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: entire fieldhouse and her head coach were wearing the new

346
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark logo T shirts from Nike last night.

347
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: James, Yeah, the logo to me looks better when you're

348
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: further away from it. I feel like I can see

349
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: it better because up close I'm like, eh, not really

350
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: feeling it, but backing up, it looks better to me.

351
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: So shout out to Nike. They think about these things

352
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: a lot more than I do.

353
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: Obviously, they will play those nights place Los Angeles Sparks

354
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,680

355

Speaker 2: the Cubs back in play, but they did not have

357
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: a night. They lose to the San Francisco Giants late

358
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: five to two. You did not stay up to watch

359
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: that one, did you.

360
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: Well, No, it's the first pitch is like quarter to ten. No,

361
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 5: I watched a little bit. I was not staying up

362
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: Blake to watch them.

363
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: Dodgers also out West beat up on the Red six

364
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: to three. The final score there Pittsburgh over the Saint

365

Speaker 2: Louis Cardinals eight to three, and the White Sox lost

366
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: to Kansas City five to four. No joy anywhere for

367
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: any of these teams that we follow year.

368
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: A great night, Kevin. Are you officially throwing in the

369
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: towel on your Reds yet?

370
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Reds are dead?

371
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 6: It was it was fun while lasted.

372
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: Tip.

Speaker 2: T shirt today.

375
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: Indeed, I'm waiting for Jeff to tell me about Elie

376
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Day the cruise running the bases, to try and give

377
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: me some uplifting news.

378
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: Sure I can pull that well.

379
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: Was there anything about him running the base as well?

380
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: To get me over the five losses in the last

381
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: six games?

382
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: Like Mark, I was not awake to see that game

383
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: last night. That's how that goes over at Victory Field.

384
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: The Indians also lost the Buffalo Bisons, but they will

385
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: be playing again tonight at six thirty five on TJ

386
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: McConnell Knight. As we're talking.

387
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: About just a month, you will have the power of

388
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: what I believe to be one of the best bench

389
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: players in the NBA, kind of powering them all the tryhards,

390
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: get out there and try hard all right.

391
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 2: Tennis? Last night, Coco Golf wins at the US Open

392
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: as they start to move through the second round there.

393
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: I did watch a little bit two nights ago Venus

394
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: Williams in her return now that she's in her forties,

395
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: well into her forties. She lost a three set match

396
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: to the fifth seed overall. But man, she's got she's

397
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: still got some game. Oh yes, she might be playing.

398
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: She might be playing another three four years.

399
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: Let's go, hey, I mean that is what greatness looks like.

400
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to throw on KB.

401
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Well, I mean quite the announcement yesterday, right, didn't we

402
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: see someone going to knee buried the.

403
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: Lead here and going to bring that out just a

404
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: moment there. I'm not my lead, but please share your

405
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: thoughts with the class.

406
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: Well, I think we'll always have a bit of a

407
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: connection to this couple of one, Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift.

408
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Didn't we get mister Kelsey in the building at Lucas

409
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Oil this year for one of those nights of the concert?

410
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: I believe she what's the song is at Karma Mark

411
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: where she well reference if the guy and the Chiefs

412
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: is there or not? And the crowd of reps is

413
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: that right?

414
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the one.

415
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: I forget.

416
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 5: The Exult High School is the one that, like she wrote,

417
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 5: I forget the exact lyric.

418
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: But at one point during the song Karma, she said,

419
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, boy on the Chiefs, and all of a sudden,

420
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Lucas Oil. Arguably the loudest roarer Lucas Oils had in

421
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: the last decade was when Taylor Swift said that so love.

422
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: I love Let's go, I love love. I'm happy for

423
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: these kids.

424
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: They're sorry kids this way. I guess, well, yeah, that's

425
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: how you my age. Yeah, I was like, I'm like

426
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: these guys like three five. But shout out to the

427
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 4: photographer and whoever signed the NDA's because that was not

428
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 4: leaked by somebody else, because you know, TMZ people, People Magazine,

429
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: hell Adam Schefter and Ian Rappaport probably wanted to leak that.

430
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: But it was cool to see that they got to

431
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: announce that on their own via Instagram.

432
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: So here's what's cool ed.

433
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: Kelsey said he was quoted by one of those organizations

434
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: you were talking about as saying that the proposal actually

435
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: happened like two weeks ago and they've been sitting on it.

436
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: How does that stay secret?

437
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, hey, you give me a large chunk

438
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: of money to stay silent.

439
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: Right, you'll never here to peep out of me again.

440
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Congratulations to them. And of course, the big joke already

441
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: is somebody was asking on ESPN radar this morning, is

442
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: that the last ring when he gets married that he'll

443
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: ever get.

444
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'll never count the chiefs out.

445
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody was saying it might be his last year

446
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 5: playing because it's this thirteenth NFL season and there's thirteen

447
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: tied to Taylor Swift quite a bit, so that might

448
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 5: be the year that he hangs it up, goes to

449
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: be a husband.

450
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Well, congratulations to them, Come out up and rub. We'll

451
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about the Colts getting ready

452
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: for their first week of the season now, as they

453
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: are just a week and a half away. And if

454
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: you step outside this morning, you're gonna feel football weather.

455
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 2: It's a little chilly out there this morning comparatively. We'll

456
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: talk about it next as we continue ninety three five

457
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: and one to seventy five of the Fan. No only

458
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: was it long, but it was deep and why people excited.

459
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: We'll get to the text line full prodded Mark, does

460
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift live stream that wedding whenever it takes place?

461
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: Probably not, but I'm looking for my invite though I

462
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 5: would like to attend that wedding. It's going to be

Speaker 5: a who's who all the pjs that will be flying. Yeah,

464
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna agree. That's Sabrina Carpenter.

465
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 4: Honestly, if it did get streamed, it will probably break

466
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: every streaming record ever.

467
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

468
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 5: I think they said the podcast that she was on

469
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 5: with the Kelsey Brothers broke like is a Guinness World record, which.

470
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know YouTube had to be just smile from

471
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: ear to ear like. Yes, I'm glad you used our

472
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 4: platform for this.

473
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: Apparently they were engaged when she was on that show

474
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 2: about that.

475
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: Hey again, India for her, Good for.

476
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 5: Them, happy for him.

477
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: I saw some video circulating yesterday too. Back in twenty

478
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 2: twenty three when they were first dating. Somebody asked Caitlin

479
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 2: Clark when she was in Iowa if she thought that

480
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: this would be a real relationship. He goes, yeah, they're

481
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: gonna get married. I was playing that all day long yesterday.

482
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 2: So she's psychic too, I.

483
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 4: Was gonna say, don't say that about me.

484
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: So something you want to tell us, James, no.

485
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 4: News this morn I'm dead serious.

486
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, Welcome in to the Fan Morning Show.

487
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 2: Yesterday was cutdown day in the National Football League. The

488
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Colts have an initial fifty three man roster. If you're

489
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: just joining us, we'll give you some thoughts on that.

490
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: I know, Kevin Bowen, you had put a couple of

491
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: thoughts updating what your predicted initial fifty three man roster

492
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: was yesterday, and you went back and updated those things,

493
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 2: and probably the one or two biggest thoughts you have are.

494
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: Well definitely the Juju Brents. You know, anytime he caught

495
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: a second round pick selling on his rookie contract, it's news.

496
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: Jilani Woods, I don't think he's a former third rounder,

497
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: so yes, it is news. But again I didn't think

498
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: he was trending to be on the roster. I would

499
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: say one certain positive over the last month. I mean,

500
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: if you look at the Colts starters a week from

501
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: Sunday against Miami, really they're gonna trot out twenty one

502
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: of the twenty two expected starters. I would say the

503
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: only guy that got hurt to the degree where he

504
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: will not be out there Week one, unfortunately, won't be

505
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: out there at all. The season is justin Wally, the

506
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: third round pick out of Minnesota. So when you think

507
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: about that from an injury standpoint, I know, obviously there

508
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: were some ups and downs and some roller coaster moments

509
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: over the last month. That's a pretty good bill of health.

510
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: And you know, Wally, while he was having a nice camp,

511
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he still was a rookie starter. It's not

512
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: like whatever. It's one of the side of Lucas Oil

513
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: Stadium guys that you have up there. So I would

514
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: say overall, a pretty good bill of health. James. They

515
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: only put one guy on IR. They could have put

516
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: two on IR to back Jalen Carlies. And it doesn't

517
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: sound like he's going to be out for too too long.

518
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: You got to be out for at least a month

519
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: with those rules there. So you know, that's a very

520
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: popular topic training camp, preseason injuries, injuries, injuries, and if

521
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: you look around the league, there are a lot of

522
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: teams that are in far worse shape than the Colts.

523
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: So all in all, it's it's a pretty good bill

524
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: of health over the last month.

525
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: James, is that you on Twitter yesterday that I saw

526
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: tweeting out the old picture of Wesley French and Will

527
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: Freeze standing next to each other and said, it's officially

528
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: all gone now the French fries are out.

529
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: Is that?

530
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

531
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh fries. Yeah, that was my editor, Jim i

532
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: Elo who tweeted that out after I got the scoop

533
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 4: that Wesley French had been cut. So yeah, no more

534
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: French fries for the Colts. However, that is a nature

535
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: of the business, and it's Kevin is alluded to. It

536
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that your career it's over or you're done.

537
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 4: A lot of these veterans, guys like Lakwan Treadwell. I

538
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: know Wesli French was technically wide because he hasn't reached

539
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: the four year threshold just yet to be considered a

540
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: veteran or a vested veteran. However, these are familiar names.

541
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 4: I sent him to at least end up on a

542
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: practice squad somewhere, if not in Indianapolis. So that's the

543
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 4: next step is just figuring out, Okay, who's gonna get

544
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: brought back on that practice squad and how does that

545
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: affect the rest of your team, because as we've seen,

546
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 4: you can call those guys up, you know, and use

547
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 4: them on Sundays a few times a year. So that

548
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: is the next step, Kevin.

549
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: You any surprise at all that Khaleil Herbert, a veteran

550
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: running back that was brought in, has had some success

551
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 2: in the league. You were talking about concerns that they

552
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: don't really have a pass catching running back at this

553
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: point in time. Not that he's a dominant pass catcher,

554
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: but a guy with some NFL experience. We're surprised that

555
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: he was one of.

556
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: The cuts a little bit. You know, he battled the

557
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: hamstring injury in the month of August. Yeah, I do

558
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: have some questions about what you're going to do on

559
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: third down Week one. Jonathan Taylor to me just as

560
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: great of a first and second round runner. He is

561
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: as good as anyone in the league third down, not

562
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: as forte. I mean, I've probably watched Taylor drop i

563
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know, five six seven balls here over the last month.

564
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: That's just not what he does very well. So you know,

565
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: that's a waiverclaim area that I'll be curious about today.

566
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: Anything there, you know, off of the tackle would be

567
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: another spot. And then certainly depth at linebacker. Typically the

568
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: waiver claims I think they tend to shy away from

569
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: positional need versus are there guys in the draft that

570
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: you missed out on that are now available to you?

571
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: You know, when you think about it. The Colts, you know,

572
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: they had a nice hit rate on their six and

573
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: seventh round picks, Riley Leonard, you know, Hunter Wohler. Were

574
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: there any guys in that range where they wanted to

575
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: get them but they just didn't have enough picks? And

576
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: now are they on the open market? Obviously they've really

577
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: found I know Kenny Moore and Jack Doler are like

578
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: the poster childs of unbelievable waiver claims. But you know,

579
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: even like Pierre de Seer or al KaDee Mohammad. You know,

580
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: last year Samuel Wollmack came in and played an important

581
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: role form Luke Tanuda made this fifty three man roster

582
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: as an offensive tackle. He was a formal waiver claim.

583
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, that'll be something to keep an eye on

584
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: again around noon today. As usually when you see those

585
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: and guys like Juju Brentz will have to clear waivers.

586
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: We'll see about what exactly the future holds for him

587
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: Jalannie Woods, you know clearing waivers, what is a future

588
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: hold for those guys there? And is the marriage officially

589
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: over for those guys? You know, they could come back

590
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: to your practice squad.

591
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you.

592
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Know, do they you know, get claimed and go somewhere else,

593
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: and do they look at the situations and say, hey,

594
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: I don't like how I was looking here. You know,

595
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: I've had my four years for July one, three years

596
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: for Juju. I think it's time that somebody else gets

597
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: their eyes on me.

598
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and just to piggyback off of the running back

599
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 4: pass catching running back comment certainly something to look into

600
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 4: because I'm looking at Cleliar Herbert's career. He's just not

601
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: a pass catching back overall. He had ten catches last

602
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 4: year for twenty five yards, so that is obviously not

603
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: going to be a lot. He only has fifty three

604
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 4: catches in his career for four years, so without that

605
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: element in his game and then being injured, I think

606
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 4: his the idea of him making the team would have

607
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: been more so for like special teams purposes and being

608
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: another back that can you know, take some workload off

609
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: of JT. But yeah, I think that is an area

610
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: that can certainly pursue because DJ Gidding's proved it in college.

611
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: They he can catch pass out of the back field.

612
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 4: But it is different than the pros and you probably

613
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: want some more insurance there.

614
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: You know.

615
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: You talk about the influence that lou Ana Rumo has

616
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: had on the shaping of this roster and all the

617
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: cornerbacks that are coming in, guys that he has worked

618
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: with in the past, and we're seeing what they've done

619
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: in the free agency by bringing in a corner and

620
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: a safety and really beefing up that side of the football.

621
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: And you talk about the age. It kind of makes

622
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: another indication, Kevin, does it not that this group certainly

623
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard I would think, and maybe even Shane Steichen

624
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: like they got to win right now. There there's not

625
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: a lot of development there on the on the defensive

626
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: side of football and the secondary.

627
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that part of me wants to say, duh.

628
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, when you have the resume of second and Ballard, yeah,

629
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: you better win out. And you know, really, Anna Rumo

630
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: has never been a big playing the young dudes in Sincy.

631
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's kind of always a little bit of

632
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: a pushback and I mean, if you look at it

633
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: and James, you had this report yesterday. I've been working

634
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: out Mike Hilton today, thirty one year old Nickel Corner, who, honestly,

635
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: I feel like he's had some games where he's kind

636
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: of wrecked the Colts in his career. Although I'm a

637
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: little concerned that he got cut by the Dolphins. Don't

638
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins need all the corners in the world right now?

639
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 4: Revenge tour. He's going to join the Colts and beat

640
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: down the Dolphins week one and say, hey, I told

641
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: you I can still play.

642
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: So him and Xavier Howard both, Yeah, gonna be wagging

643
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: their fingers week one at the Dolphins. I mean, if

644
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: they make that signing, they will have a twenty nine

645
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: year old Tavaria's Howard, thirty year old Kennymore, thirty two

646
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: year old Xavier Howard, thirty one year old Mike Hilton

647
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: at corner.

648
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: Get the Canes out.

649
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about the being gay out,

650
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: if I had a rank positions around the NFL, you

651
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: ideally don't want to be old at. I would think

652
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Corner would be one of them. Yeah, So boy, that

653
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: is again it's a total infusion of guys, and there's

654
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: plenty of resume with all those guys, obviously.

655
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: THEAH, but also the young guy they brought in, twenty

656
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: six year old Mika black Man is coming off in

657
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: ACL correct, so you're not sure how he'll exactly respond

658
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: to that. So there are some question marks there with

659
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: those resumes.

660
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you could be playing two guys in

661
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: week one, Howard, I don't think it's played football twenty

662
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: one months and Blackman might be the same sort of calendar. Yeah,

663
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: so it is very very it's a huge change. But again,

664
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: like I said to lead off the show, I think

665
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: a genuine credit to Chris Ballard. If you are going

666
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: if you are bad in an area and you're going

667
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: to bring in a new defensive coordinator, you need to

668
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: make sure that the ingredients in the kitchen are what

669
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: he is looking for. So at times you might have

670
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: to swallow your pride and make some cuts that you

671
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: don't want to. But in a pass happy league, the

672
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Colts felt it last year. Their depth of corner got

673
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: real thin, real early. This is an attempt and we'll

674
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: see if it works again. It's more of an aging attempt.

675
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: We'll see if it works. But definitely. They have overhauled

676
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: that entire corner group, right, Kenny Moore and Jalen Jones.

677
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Is that it James, those are the only two coming back.

678
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, which honestly that sounds crazy when you put it

679
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: out loud, but yep, that is true.

680
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: Johnson Edwards, we should mention that name. Undrafted free agent

681
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Edwards does make the team. I know, the undrafted

682
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: free agent streak is something that Colts fans have gotten

683
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: used to it. It ended a few years ago. But

684
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: at number thirty five, two lane cornerback, he does make

685
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: the team. So theoretically he kind of made it over Juju.

686
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: In my eyes, Yes, it's probably how I would view it.

687
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: And he had a really nice camp and was getting

688
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of run and the biggest thing for him

689
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: is he was largely available, which unfortunately has been so

690
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: much of Juju.

691
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you think about it, he kind of

692
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: has a similar bill to Juju, a taller guy, kind

693
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: of longer defender. And so if the Colts feel like, hey,

694
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: we can get a guy who's less injury prone, you know,

695
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: less medical history and someone who I think again, to

696
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: your point, Kevin had some moments through our camp shout

697
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: out to him, and I'm glad he's also, you know,

698
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 4: I know he was out for a minute there with

699
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 4: the concussion, but hopefully he's on the men there too.

700
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one thing at and Zionsville on the

701
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: text line two three, nineteen seventy, want to ask you

702
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: about Kevin. You kind of answered that there and you

703
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: set up a text back too, which we often do sometimes.

704
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: But he wants to know what he missed? What did

705
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Juju Brents at this level of performance, what did he

706
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: do that they would cut him as a second rounder

707
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: on his rookie contract? And I think just not being

708
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: available that catches up to you.

709
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: In the NFL, Yeah, played in eleven of thirty four games.

710
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: You know, we talk a lot about Anthony Richardson's injury history.

711
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: Richardson two games miss due to benching, but he still

712
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: has played in fifteen of thirty four. So you know, Juju, James,

713
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I forget the list. It's way I think we might

714
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: be close to eight injuries. I think in his two

715
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: NFL seasons, Like, it's not like you've had Jolney Woods

716
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: has had just the two big season enders. Juju, It's

717
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: just been a lot of not little things so as

718
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: they've sided by him of course a lot of times,

719
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: but just a lot of injuries period. I mean we're

720
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: talking six seven, eight injuries for him. I actually think

721
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: when Juju is played, it's been decent. It's not like

722
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: it's looked like a bust on the field here. But

723
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, availability has just been an issue. And you know,

724
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: the Chris Ballard draft record at corner you just can't ignore.

725
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Quincy, Wilson, Rock, you Seene, Juju, Brentz. I

726
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: mean those are three second round corners that you know,

727
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: I guess Rock turned into Yanick and Gokway. I don't

728
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: know if that's necessarily a good thing or not, but it.

729
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: Just but it all for different reasons too, whether it

730
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: was injury, Rock just all the time, and.

731
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Quincy probably just fell more into kind of the

732
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: bust category. But you know, Ballard, I think back to

733
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the draft James, I mean, he really backed Juju this year,

734
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: like after they took Justin Wally, you know, pretty bullish

735
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: on Hey, no, no, no, I don't want to flush Juju

736
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: at all. You know, I still think he can play

737
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: good football, et cetera, et cetera. And so this kind

738
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: of goes back to a really common theme over the

739
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: last day or so. I mean, Loui an Arumo has

740
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: got a ton of say in defensive personnel, and I

741
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: think the Juju Brents move, because again it's year three

742
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: of a rookie contract. Think it easily have him be

743
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: the sixth They could have Juju brent on the roster

744
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: and to get Jonathan Edwards to the practice squad, like

745
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: they could easily have done that. Yeah, but they chose

746
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: not to, And I think it's ballad certainly listening to

747
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: the new defensive coordinator.

748
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: Can we take a look at two things though, I

749
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: do want to kind of mention we can probably get

750
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: into it later on throughout the show and revisit it.

751
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: But I know people are crushing the Juju Brince pick

752
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: because now obviously he's off the team. And really, that

753
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three draft class was a rough one looking

754
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: back at it, Kevin, they had twelve picks in that

755
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: class and the only two proven starters you got out

756
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: of that were Josh Downs and Jalen Jones, and Jaylen

757
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: Jones may not even been started this year. Josh Downs

758
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 4: is kind of carrying that class. Your first pick that year.

759
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson benched, Julius Brince, Juju Brince no longer here.

760
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 4: Josh Downs, like I said, played well. Blake Freeland, he's

761
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: injured right now. But last season I thought he regressed

762
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: and really got exposed. He was not your at least

763
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 4: trending or tracking to be your backup swing tackle. Adi

764
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 4: Taimawadabar A fine player. Darius Rush. You cut Daniel Scott.

765
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 4: He's finally healthy this year. He'ssed his first two years

766
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: due to injury. Will Mallory okay, fine player. Evan Hall

767
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 4: no longer here. Titus Leo no longer here. Jaylen Jones,

768
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 4: like I said, is here and fighting for our starting role.

769
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 4: And then Jake Witt, the experimental seventh round lineman no

770
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: longer here as well. I think he might have retired.

771
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 4: Fro football actually so rough class, yeah, rough class. But

772
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: then also to give some credit where credit is due.

773
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: I know people are like man Johnny Woods, I was

774
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 4: a miss by you know, Shane stiking or I'm sorry

775
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 4: not Shane sacking Chris Ballard and they should have picked

776
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 4: somebody else. That twenty twenty two class has been pretty solid.

777
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 4: They didn't have first pick that year, but their first

778
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 4: pick in the second round was Alec Pearce. Solid player,

779
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 4: should get paid this offseason as long as he doesn't

780
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: get hurt. Johnny Woods, like I said, was the third

781
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 4: round pick that year. The next pick, he's out. But

782
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: Bernard Ryman, you found a franchise left tackle in the

783
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: third round. Paid him one hundred million dollars because he's

784
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 4: really good at his job. You got Nick crossing that

785
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 4: class as well, another starter. So to me, that class

786
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: looks just totally different than the tweeny twenty three class.

787
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: And that's kind of how it goes sometimes. Man, you

788
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 4: can't predict these things in real time, because obviously if

789
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 4: you could, you would change some things. But man, going

790
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: back to that class from two years ago, it is

791
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: looking pretty spooky. And Josh Downs it wasn't for him.

792
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 4: You really be in a mind.

793
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: Well, I think what's truly damning about the twenty twenty

794
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: three draft, James' is you suffered so much in twenty

795
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: twenty two to reap the benefits that next April. You know,

796
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: think back in the twenty twenty two season four to

797
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: twelve and one, Jeff Saturday, Matt Ryan, all the embarrassment,

798
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: the light at the end of the tunnel is you're

799
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: drafting high. You know, you had the fourth overall pick.

800
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: You're obviously drafting high in each subsequent round after that.

801
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: So the thought there is it's not like a normal

802
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: draft where the culture in the middle of the pack

803
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: and it's harder maybe to find hits in that. No no, no,

804
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: you're hot. I mean you are top five in every

805
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: round and you got a bunch of picks too, and

806
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: yet you have the misses of you know, James just

807
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: pointed out the pretty much three of your first four

808
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: picks is how you would summarize it right now. And honestly,

809
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: you go back to twenty twelve, like the twenty eleven

810
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: embarrassment of going to and fourteen and that entire season

811
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: it turned into Ryan Grigson's first draft being filled with

812
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: tons on fleeen Er. Alan vic Ballard contributed for you

813
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: early on. That helped you have eleven wins out of

814
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: the gate, eleven wins the next year, eleven wins the

815
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: next year. So when your teams have bad years, the

816
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: again benefit of that is all right, the NFL rewards

817
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: you from a draft standpoint. Now you have to cash

818
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: in on that and I think if I were Carl Er,

819
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: say Gordon, that would really be staring at me this

820
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: morning of We suffered so much in twenty twenty two,

821
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: we thought, hey, we're going to create this new window. Well,

822
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three has got to be the limestone of

823
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: that foundation. And again, when you're drafting as high as

824
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: you were in that draft, it should offer plenty of

825
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: opportunities to rebuild that. Yeah, and you know at some

826
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: premium positions cornerback, cornerback, and offensive tackle, that doesn't appear

827
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: to be the case.

828
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 2: It's The Fan Morning Show ninety three five one h

829
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: seven five The Fan westpeaks for a lot of folks.

830
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 2: When he wants from each of you guys, he's curious,

831
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: who's the one guy that you'd still like to see

832
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: back with the cults if you had a perfect world.

833
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 4: Shout out to West from the text line, I chose

834
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: chrys La Monz, and I was kind of grasping at

835
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: straws there. There weren't a lot of people where I'm like, man,

836
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: I want this guy back no matter what. But I

837
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: thought chrys La Mons was going to make the fifty

838
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: three man roster because one he is a proven veteran,

839
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 4: I will say a little bit older. I think he's

840
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: twenty nine, so I guess I would have added to

841
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: the theme of the older cornerback room. But someone who

842
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 4: was around last year respected in the locker room, super

843
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 4: Bowl champion and I thought had a really strong preseason, Kevin.

844
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 4: And so again that lets you know that I think

845
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 4: Lou and Roumo's voice holds weight, but also the coach

846
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 4: to do feel like they can maybe upgrade at that

847
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: backup slot position, which is what Chris Lamon's kind of

848
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: projected as. And he also offered some special teams capabilities

849
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 4: there as well.

850
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. You know, I'll probably go

851
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: just a guy that I think deserve or the guy

852
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: earned the right to be on the fifty three man roster.

853
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: I get why he's not, but I just thought coleman

854
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: Owen had a great, great training camp, and you know, James,

855
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: you're out there and you watch. I just feel naturally

856
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: the wide receivers oftentimes happen to be in front of

857
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 1: the media during practice, and like Reggie Wayne, he loves

858
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: that dude, I mean like he loves himself. Some coleman

859
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: Owen and again, God, I think.

860
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: It's the technician part because Reggie was like that work.

861
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: He caught one the other day to and one of

862
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: their final practices before the preseason finale, and Reggie just

863
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: goes over to him and just gives them kind of

864
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: one of those like low high fives. And for Reggie, Wayne,

865
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: that's like you know, me hugging you after Notre Dame's

866
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: first touchdown on Sunday night. Gosh, I really hope Notre

867
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: Dame scores early in that game and kind of calms

868
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: my nerves.

869
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 4: But I'll take a FaceTime hug.

870
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: What did you say, Mark? But coleman Owen like he

871
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: did everything you would want, and he's just he's in

872
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: arguably the most crowded room with the entire team. And

873
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't know Anthony Gould as a return man. I

874
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: just get a little nervy. So coleman Owen they can

875
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: get him to the practice squad. I think that would

876
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense.

877
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: Jeff, who would you pick up if you had to

878
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 4: make an addition to the guys that they let go?

879
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 2: The guy I would have said the same thing, Lama's

880
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: because I really liked you and I had talked about

881
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: it when I was at the game, at the home game.

882
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: I liked the way that he had played so far

883
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: this year. I think he'd been making plays, he was

884
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: around the ball, seemed like he was in the right

885
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: place at the right time. But he's got crowded out,

886
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: it felt like. And I wonder they'll bring in the

887
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: guy today. But I just wonder in that secondary if

888
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: they could use at some point a guy like that.

889
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: He's at least a practice squad guy if he doesn't

890
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: get claimed by somebody else.

891
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a veteran though, So he got released and

892
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: so he could go where he pleases, which probably gives

893
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: the Colt's a good chance to retain him if they

894
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 4: want to, and if he doesn't want to move, perhaps

895
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 4: around the country. And then another one. So throughout there, Kevin,

896
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 4: I thought about just now Isaiah Land. I thought that

897
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 4: he had a really good training camp numbers game at

898
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 4: the defensive line spot. So didn't make the cut, but

899
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 4: I think that's a guy who actually probably gonna get claimed.

900
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they thought, if they wanted to, they could have

901
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: kept Land and cut one of the defensive tackles. They

902
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: actually cut. They kept one more defense. Ballard likes the

903
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: big boys would even they kept eleven, which is even

904
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: a big number for Ballard. It's usually like ten. So again,

905
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: as we get into today and some of the roster

906
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 1: gymnastics start to play out, that would be an area

907
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: where I think, Okay, you know, do they cut one

908
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: of those defensive tackles. Do they add elsewhere? That'll be

909
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on.

910
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 2: One more thing to a lot of people wondering about

911
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: Carson Steel, and you had mentioned him at the very

912
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: beginning of the show. We're looking for pass catching running back.

913
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: I mean, is Carson Steel a guy that that could

914
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: be brought back?

915
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 7: Uh?

916
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I I'll be honestly, I don't really know

917
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: Carson Steele's history as a pass catching running back there.

918
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 4: I just had seven catches last year and seven team

919
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 4: games for twenty six yards.

920
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: But how many snaps did he even get?

921
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 4: Though he would have got more snaps as a pass

922
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 4: catcher if he was a better pass catcher.

923
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, probably I'll just take him for the pet alligator.

924
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, you want a bruiser, now, you

925
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 4: want somebody who can get down. Now, he can definitely

926
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 4: do that. But yeah, he got two hundred and one

927
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: snaps last year on offense eighteen percent of the snaps

928
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 4: and again just seven catches last year for not a

929
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: lot of yards.

930
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: I think were the harder decisions for guys like Steel

931
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: or anybody really around the NFL is now that you've

932
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: gotten cut, how do you view it if that team

933
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: wants me back on the practice squad? Do I say,

934
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: you know what, all right, it's a little bit of

935
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: a hurdle. Practice squad Life's pretty good. Look the amount

936
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: of money I can make, I can get promoted seemingly,

937
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: you know, rather easily given the new rules there. Or

938
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: do you sit there and say, hey, the team's telling

939
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: me something. I need to go to another situation. I

940
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: need to get myself in front of you know, different eyes,

941
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: because there are you know, success on both ends of it,

942
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: guys that have just gone to the practice squad and

943
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: then reproven themselves and then they're a mainstay. Or the

944
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Mooores and the Jack Doyles where you know those teams.

945
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: You know Doyle specifically, Tennessee wanted him back, the Colts

946
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: claimed him, and boom, the rest is history. It's one

947
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: of the more impressive careers given where he was drafted

948
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: or not drafted that you'll frankly ever see with the Colts.

949
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just wonder too if if it's the

950
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: way you delivered that message, Hey, numbers game you got

951
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: caught up in that, wouldn't be surprised if you got

952
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: claimed by another team. You're a good football player. But

953
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: if not, don't be surprised if we call you back

954
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: for practice squad.

955
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of conversations like that.

956
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 4: You've got to see how it all shakes out.

957
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: All right. Coming up in a moment, we will speak

958
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,120

986
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: they made that announcement. Yeah, I was talking about beef. Well,

987
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: I know we're getting there.

988
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 4: I was talking about beef. I just smell it cooking there.

989
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: I love it. You're trying to start trouble early. Oh yeah,

990
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: here for that. Kevin Bond wanted nothing to do with

991
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: the trouble, but you're pushing them in.

992
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 5: No, you can't.

993
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 4: You can't, duck It's sixth three. He can't be over that, Ducket.

Speaker 2: Kevin Bone a.

997
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: Lot to get to Steven Holder with roster cuts and

998
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: certainly a quarterback storyline that is very very important for the.

999
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and in a big game.

1000
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: Might I add I got a great team down there,

1001
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Notre Dame Miami coming up this weekend? Steven,

1002
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 2: did you have any words for mister Notre Dame Kevin

1003
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 2: bowing over here?

1004
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 7: Hey, listen, I don't trust my guys enough to be

1005
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 7: talking trash trash.

1006
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 5: Neither you deserve to have ranked teams that you cheer for.

1007
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: What is this? I just told that Jim can make

1008
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 2: it to the kicker.

1009
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 4: I am disgusted. I have seen trash talk from both

1010
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 4: of you, Like now the.

1011
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 5: High school dances. They're both leaning against the walls. We

1012
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 5: want to go out there exactly. Oh, yes, you know sportsmanship?

1013
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 5: You just playing yuck? What are we teaching the game?

1014
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: Trying to win?

1015
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: Trust her?

1016
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 7: Let me let me be this is not about sportsmanship. No,

1017
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 7: I love KB, but this is not about sportsmanship. This

1018
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 7: is about I don't want to give anybody any ammunition

1019
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 7: because I don't trust my guys.

1020
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: I've been hurt enough times. This is about me.

1021
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: Stephen watched this team play defense too often last year. Uh,

1022
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: thank you Miami Hurricanes. Yeah, Steved I have first time

1023
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for Notre Dame going into that environment. That's

1024
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: given me a little bit of pause. But I do

1025
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: like Notre Dame in some other areas on the team. Uh,

1026
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: should we dive into roster cuts here? Let's go. I

1027
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: suppose Steven hold our ESPN with us here on the

1028
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: Payless Liquors hot Line. I guess I actually kind of

1029
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: want to go in a different different direction because when

1030
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: you joined his last Wednesday, you were fresh off the

1031
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: news of, you know, your conversation with Derek Jackson, Anthony

1032
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: Richardson's agent about you know, and I want to make

1033
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: sure I get the words right, but you know, there

1034
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: was some trust questions, and you know, we've got a

1035
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. I think I'm paraphrasing a little

1036
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: bit of that quote. Any update on Richardson standing within

1037
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: the team, how his team, his own team kind of

1038
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 1: views where he's at right now franchise wise, No, I don't.

1039
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say that there's much that's changed. I think

1040
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 7: there is a little bit of wait and see, you know,

1041
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 7: to kind of see how this plays out. I mean,

1042
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,919
Speaker 7: clearly the Colts are taking that approach, and I think

1043
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 7: just wanting to see what Daniel Jones looks like, you know,

1044
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 7: does he does he meet expectations and those kinds of things.

1045
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 7: I mean, they're not trading Anthony Richardson, you know, certainly

1046
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 7: not right now.

1047
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 3: Could things change?

1048
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 7: I guess, you know, if let's say Daniel Jones takes off,

1049
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 7: I don't know, right I mean that maybe there's a scenario,

1050
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 7: but right now there's no there's no intention on their

1051
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 7: part of trading him, And I don't know that a

1052
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 7: trade demand has even quote unquote been made to my knowledge.

1053
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 7: Would would his agent be welcoming of such a thing

1054
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 7: if it were to come to pass?

1055
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 3: I think so.

1056
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 7: But but that's not even been just us that as

1057
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 7: far as I know. So, I don't think much has

1058
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 7: changed there, But but I don't think it's necessarily I

1059
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 7: g it's gotten necessarily better either, you know, for lack

1060
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 7: of a better word.

1061
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 4: Steven will hear from Chris Ballard later today and again

1062
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 4: Stephen Holder ESPN joining us on the Payloff Stickers hotline.

1063
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: What questions do you have for the coach GM that

1064
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 4: are really top of mind for you and you think

1065
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 4: pertinent to this upcoming season or really the future of

1066
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 4: the team as well.

1067
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 3: Well.

1068
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 7: I think there's two separate matters, I guess for for

1069
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 7: the current team. I think, so this is a you know,

1070
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 7: they cut certainly two two draft picks from a couple

1071
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 7: of recent drafts. I think Juju Brents in particular. I mean,

1072
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 7: I'm not saying it's just shocking new it's not. He

1073
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 7: hasn't helped them at all. But you know, I think

1074
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 7: he's got to. He's got to speak publicly about that.

1075
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 7: For sure. That's the guy that's a second round pick.

1076
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a really high pick. Okay, I don't

1077
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 7: want to gloss over that. I mean, I know people

1078
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 7: are like, well, yeah, he's never done anything for him,

1079
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 7: so of course they cut him. Yeah, but a second

1080
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 7: round pick, it takes a lot of It takes a

1081
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 7: lot of putting your ego aside to have to cut

1082
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 7: a second round pick, or maybe it's a blow to

1083
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 7: your ego. I should say, you know, to have to

1084
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 7: cut a second round pick. And then I think, just

1085
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 7: like the composition of his team, does he how does

1086
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 7: he feel about the depth? The depth is what has

1087
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 7: gotten them, I feel like to a large degree in

1088
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 7: recent years, or it's been a big part of their

1089
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 7: problem at least.

1090
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 3: So what's the depth?

1091
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 7: Like, I mean, are you really confident in your offensive

1092
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 7: line depth? Because I have questions, you know, are you

1093
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 7: confident in your in your linebackers? You got like one

1094
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 7: linebacker I've ever seen.

1095
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 3: Play football that's available, you know.

1096
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm exaggerating, but not a lot. So the

1097
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 7: depth is a question I have. And then I think

1098
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 7: the separate matter is obviously the quarterback situation. I want

1099
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 7: his take on the decision. We have not heard from

1100
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 7: him on this to be completely fair and blunt. Frankly

1101
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 7: Shamestikeen is sometimes the worst person to talk about these

1102
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 7: things because he doesn't give you any answers. And I

1103
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 7: would say, I think if you're a skeptic of the

1104
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 7: quarterback situation. One thing that we keep hearing about Daniel

1105
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 7: Jones is the operation in the operation and the operation,

1106
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 7: the pre snap, all.

1107
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: This, et cetera.

1108
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 7: Shane Stiken has yet to say that Daniel Jones does

1109
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,959
Speaker 7: X really well after the snap. Everything he's talked about

1110
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 7: is before the snap. Well, I think we need more

1111
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 7: than that. Okay, I think at some point does the

1112
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 7: talent not have to matter? So I want I want

1113
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 7: clarity on that. Okay, what does Anthony Richardson's does Anthony

1114
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 7: Richardson's ability measure or how does it measure up against

1115
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones and what he does pre snap and walk

1116
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 7: us through the decision, I think with a little more clarity.

1117
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 7: I don't I don't think Shane Stikeen did that by

1118
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 7: just repeating the same thing about the pre snap stuff repeatedly.

1119
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 2: One of the biggest things you think you might see

1120
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: by the end of the day today.

1121
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 7: Well, I'm wondering about this Mike Hilton situation. I mean,

1122
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 7: he was he was cut by the Dolphins.

1123
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 6: I think yes, And so he's a corner.

1124
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 7: It's played for lou Edrumo and apparently anyone.

1125
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 3: Who has ever, ever ever played for lou En Rumo.

1126
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 7: Is is a prospect to sign with the Indianapolis Colts

1127
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 7: if if recent history is any indicator, So I'm interested

1128
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 7: to see if that goes anywhere and if that does happen.

1129
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 7: I believe if the report I read is correct, I

1130
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 7: think he's supposed to work out today. If he if

1131
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 7: he signs, they probably have to cut a corner there,

1132
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 7: and I'm wondering who that is. So you know, we'll

1133
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 7: see what happens there. But that could be a domino

1134
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 7: that falls today potentially.

1135
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: And Stephen Holder went to see her from MESPN on

1136
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: the Paylosslickers hot Line. Steven, how would you describe what

1137
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: you think how long the leashes for Daniel Jones compared

1138
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco's leash last year.

1139
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 7: It's interesting because I think if you're if you're the Colts,

1140
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 7: I mean, it shouldn't be like super long, right, I mean,

1141
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 7: if Daniel Jones looks like the Daniel Jones we fair

1142
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 7: and the one that we've seen a lot of, I mean,

1143
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 7: you've got to be terrified, right if that happens early

1144
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 7: in the season. On the other hand, you were very clear,

1145
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 7: Seane was very clear that he's our guy. So if

1146
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 7: you walk that back, I mean, you know, you kind

1147
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 7: of lose some credibility there. I don't know, so I

1148
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 7: think he's I'm not saying he's boxed himself.

1149
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 3: In, but but he did kind of he.

1150
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 7: Did kind of lay down a gauntlet there by saying

1151
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 7: he's a quarterback, He's our quarterback for the season.

1152
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 3: Of course, they did.

1153
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 7: Say that about Joe Flacco when they benched him, and

1154
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 7: two weeks later we were having a different conversation. So

1155
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 7: I don't know. I really just think it boils down

1156
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 7: to is he is he helping them win?

1157
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 3: Are they winning?

1158
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 7: Is he helping them win? And you know, is it sustainable?

1159
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 7: And we have no idea right now. I think the

1160
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 7: range of possibilities for what Daniel Jones can be is

1161
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 7: pretty wide. Frankly, you know that spectrum is pretty big

1162
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 7: for me. So I'm very interested to see how it

1163
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 7: plays out.

1164
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: I heard you say earlier in the week that you

1165
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: felt like Shane Steichen was like a pretty early Daniel

1166
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: Jones lane in this whole you know, quarterback competition, quarterback battle.

1167
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: Is there a particular time in the offseason you felt

1168
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: like that he started to I guess side with Jones.

1169
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we saw Anthony miss seven of those

1170
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: nine spring practices. Is there any like I guess just

1171
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 1: kind of further context around that that general thought.

1172
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting, it's funny.

1173
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 7: It's kind of like after the fact, you sometimes get

1174
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 7: clarity when you go back and you you know, I

1175
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 7: would say, hindsight is twenty twenty, but you know, you

1176
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 7: might see something at the time but not understand the

1177
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 7: totality of it or the context of it. And I

1178
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 7: would say a couple of things, even back to the

1179
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 7: owner's meetings and James was there.

1180
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 3: We were Where were we?

1181
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,720
Speaker 8: James?

1182
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right down on Palm Beach. We asked him,

1183
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 7: I mean you sat there, I sat there. We all

1184
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 7: said that breakfast with Shane Styke in where they have

1185
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 7: the coaches availability, and we tried to grill him on

1186
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 7: like what was going to decide this quarterback battle. They

1187
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 7: had just signed Daniel Jones like two weeks before this, so.

1188
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: It was a very fresh story.

1189
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 7: First time we're talking to Shane and he just said, well,

1190
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 7: you know, it's going to boil down to who's more consistent.

1191
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 7: And we asked a question in seven different ways. I mean,

1192
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 7: I'm only exaggerating a little here, and every single time

1193
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 7: he said the exact same thing. Nope, it's going to

1194
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 7: boil down a consistency, consistency, consistency, and I walked out

1195
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 7: of there thinking, well, he ain't talking about Anthony Richardson. Yeah,

1196
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 7: and I at that very moment, so like the last

1197
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 7: week of March, I walked out of there like, wait

1198
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 7: a minute, he's.

1199
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 3: Talking about Anthony. He's talking about Daniel.

1200
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 7: Jones, which we could debate whether he's consistent, but he

1201
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 7: certainly wasn't talking about the guy who completed forty seven

1202
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 7: percent of his passes. So why did I maybe back

1203
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 7: off of that thinking well, Anthony was having a pretty

1204
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 7: good camp by his standards, he was his best camp,

1205
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 7: so I thought it was competitive and I said, well,

1206
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 7: you know what, you know, maybe this thing is really

1207
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 7: up for grabs. And then of course it went a

1208
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 7: different way. But there were other instances I think about,

1209
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 7: just conversations and little things that I picked up on

1210
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 7: that I don't know that he ever got out of

1211
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 7: that lane.

1212
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 6: Shane.

1213
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 7: I really believe he was always leaning toward Daniel Jones.

1214
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 7: I'm not saying that's wrong, I'm not criticizing it. I'm

1215
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 7: just just putting it out there. I think he was

1216
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 7: always leaning that way.

1217
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 4: So Steven, when you looked on the defensive side of

1218
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 4: the ball. We've seen a lot of movement in the

1219
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 4: cornerback room and a lot of these guys coming in

1220
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 4: are older players. And Mike Hilton, as you mentioned, is

1221
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 4: working out for the Colts today. He's an older cornerback.

1222
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 4: How much faith do you put into that and how

1223
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 4: much faith can the Colts put into that when potentially

1224
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 4: you could be starting a guy like Xavin Howard who

1225
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 4: hasn't played in over a year.

1226
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 7: I'm skeptical. I gotta be honest. I mean, I guess

1227
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 7: I want to trust blue An Rumo. I mean, I

1228
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 7: think he's earned it.

1229
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 4: But do you think he's earned that just because I mean,

1230
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 4: the last time we saw his defense it wasn't good. Now,

1231
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 4: he was good a few years ago with some better players, granted,

1232
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 4: but has he earned that? Like, because if you're Gus Bradley,

1233
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 4: you got to be thinking, yeah, my defensive schemes might

1234
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 4: have been different, but you never gave me this kind

1235
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 4: of help.

1236
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 7: Well that's that's fair, right, And I think there's also

1237
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 7: a knock that that's a little bit of a knock

1238
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 7: on Amo that's been out there, which is that he

1239
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 7: doesn't uh, he doesn't favor young players, and that clearly

1240
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 7: seems to have credibility that accut because if you ain't

1241
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 7: thirty years old, you know, he's probably looking at you

1242
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 7: a little sideways around here, it looks like, and that

1243
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 7: is because the reality is he wants to do a

1244
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 7: lot of different things within his defense and young players

1245
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 7: they don't usually respond well to that, which is you know,

1246
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 7: I think we were talking about this recently, which is

1247
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 7: why Justin Wallly emerging, the what he did was so

1248
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 7: impressive because that doesn't typically happen with Lou and Rumo.

1249
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,240
Speaker 7: So so some of the personnel stuff that maybe happened

1250
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 7: with him, some of it may have There may be

1251
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 7: some some I don't know if fault is the right word,

1252
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 7: but there may be some Some of that may trace

1253
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 7: to how he uses his personnel and maybe his his

1254
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 7: preference for not really putting young players out there and

1255
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 7: maybe catering to to their you know, making a little

1256
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 7: simpler for those young players. So I don't know, I

1257
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 7: just I do think it's a question, and and we'll

1258
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 7: have to see. They're giving him a lot of latitude,

1259
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 7: Chris Ballard and Saint Stack and are giving Lou Andmo

1260
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 7: a lot of latitude here and we'll see whether they're

1261
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 7: right or wrong about that.

1262
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: Steven Older, thanks for stopping by as always. Try as

1263
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 2: he might, James Boyd couldn't get any any traction going

1264
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 2: on the Yeah.

1265
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 4: You know, both of you guys. We got to bring

1266
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 4: back hatred in sports. Okay, all this sportsmanship talk, Yeah,

1267
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 4: teach the kids better.

1268
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: Lord, have a good day, Steven. We'll talk to you soon.

1269
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 3: We'll pick this up in the media room.

1270
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1271
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah that then we'll get the unfiltered KB and

1272
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 4: your phone.

1273
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll wear a wire.

1274
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 4: How about that? Yeah, you make me sick, Kevin, I

1275
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 4: do I do?

1276
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 2: Love you though up for Notre Dame and give you

1277
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: a chance to start going after somebody and they like

1278
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: you got.

1279
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 4: To come to the James Boyds school of trash talk,

1280
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 4: where you talk as crazy as you can before the

1281
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 4: game happens. And if you lose, you know, you lose

1282
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 4: your number. You know, people just can't reach you. And

1283
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 4: then if you win, you make sure everybody else's numbers

1284
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 4: still works.

1285
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 2: That's how it works.

1286
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 5: Maybe you'll get a little more chesty after you talk

1287
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 5: to Pete Samson.

1288
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll help. Listen to the Tyrese Haliburn yesterday?

1289
00:57:59,200 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: Was that? Uh?

1290
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: Was that Logan Paul Mark?

1291
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Tyre's Saliburton making the second public comments was on

1292
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 5: the Logan Paul podcast.

1293
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: Tyres Halliburton from the James Boyds School of trash talking.

1294
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I delete social media during the playoffs,

1295
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: but you better believe after each game winner, I'm restarting

1296
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: that thing right away.

1297
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1298
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 5: This is why I love Tyre's Halliburton.

1299
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 4: He is an honest man. Let's all be more honest.

1300
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: With our from the music. When you don't like it,

1301
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: absolutely face.

1302
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 4: It looks curtisized and Tyree's for skipping out of the

1303
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 4: media after one of those Cavs games where he had

1304
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,439
Speaker 4: a stinker. And in my mind, I'm thinking, you know what,

1305
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 4: I might have done the same thing.

1306
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 2: But you were all fired up for Notre Dame the

1307
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: other day.

1308
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 5: You ready to go?

1309
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: Am I not fired up?

1310
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1311
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 4: You sound kind of like I'm not really buying it

1312
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 4: right now?

1313
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 1: It goes okay, I'm extremely fire. I wasn't born into

1314
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: a Catholics versus Convicts culture? Was that a little bit more?

1315
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: I know that's more your age range, Jeff. That was

1316
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: that as prevalent as everyone's.

1317
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 2: Yes, it was my favorite, was even before social media,

1318
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 2: and it was huge.

1319
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: A tad overblown. I'm not going to go out and

1320
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: say that Notre Dame had a bunch of choir boys

1321
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: on those teams.

1322
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 4: ZO certainly not.

1323
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 5: My favorite thing from the Haliburton interview was he said

1324
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 5: if they would have won the championship and he hadn't

1325
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 5: torn his achilles, the plan was for him to come

1326
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 5: out at SummerSlam with John Cena in full heel mode

1327
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 5: with the Larry O'Brien trophy and walking out in front

1328
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 5: of New York City. I'm like, that would have been epic.

1329
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: You might have lost your head, would have literally I would.

1330
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 5: I would have cheered for him, because he said that

1331
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 5: he's like the amount of hate I would have gotten,

1332
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 5: He's like, I would have soaked it all in. He

1333
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 5: would have loved every second of it.

1334
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 2: All Right, We'll try to fire Kevin up a little

1335
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: bit later on. In the meantime, let's check it down.

1336
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 9: It's one of the.

1337
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 2: Biggest college football games of the week coming up this weekend.

1338
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 2: Notre Dame Miami.

1339
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: Correct, and I am extremely fired up, but trust me,

1340
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: non Notre Dame people don't want to hear Notre Dame.

1341
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: People will go any crazier than needs to be. People

1342
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: hate Notre Dame enough.

1343
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 2: So you're just worried about protecting the brand. Is that

1344
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 2: what it is?

1345
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: We have to protect the monogram. We have to stay independent,

1346
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: all right?

1347
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 5: Pro foot holes when you need them.

1348
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, get little Holtz out here, you would have some

1349
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 4: things to say.

1350
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Yes, Colts have made an initial fifty three man roster

1351
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 2: with a couple of cut Yes, turning out a couple

1352
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 2: of several cuts yesterday, but the most notable probably Juju Brince,

1353
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 2: the local kid who was in his third season, recent

1354
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 2: draft pick for the Annapolis Cults. He has gone. Jelani

1355
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Woods also has been waived. Yeah.

1356
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 4: I was just at Juju Brince's alma mater I believe

1357
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 4: over Warren Central last week. So the Warren social product

1358
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 4: now is on waivers and we'll see if a team

1359
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 4: picks him up. Same for Jelannie Woods.

1360
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: As far as everything else is concerned on the roster,

1361
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 2: there are a lot of defensive linemen a quarter of

1362
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 2: the roster almost defensive line. I guess twenty percent of

1363
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 2: the roster defensive line and Kevin any surprise there.

1364
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Ballard loves his D line. Eleven to fifty three

1365
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: seems like a lots even for Ballard. So again, as

1366
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: the rosters gymnastics play out today, do we see that

1367
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: number trim at all, especially six like defensive tackles? Like

1368
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: it'd be one thing if they have like a project

1369
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: defensive end. You know, there's oh this huge traitsy you know,

1370
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: speed guy as a land in years past, but I

1371
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: don't really even see that within that eleven man group here,

1372
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: So that would definitely be something that I'll be keeping

1373
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: an eye on as waiver claims get processed later.

1374
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 2: Today and as promised by you yesha, not really promised,

1375
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 2: but predicted. Well, Mallory tied end not Jeelanni Woods.

1376
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, that was not a huge surprise at all.

1377
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I think that's how it was trending really throughout camp,

1378
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason game. So we'll see. Is this it

1379
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: for Jelani Woods? Is this it for Juju Brents, you know?

1380
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Or do they cling to a practice squad here in

1381
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Indye or you know, do they look at their situations

1382
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: and say, hey, if we don't get claim, we need

1383
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: to restart our careers elsewhere. That's all we a big

1384
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: part of what this week is all about once you

1385
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: get through the cuts, all right.

1386
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 2: The Indiana Fever with a big win last night over

1387
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: at the field House ninety five seventy five over the

1388
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 2: Seattle Storm of le At Boston twenty seven points, nine rebounds.

1389
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 2: She's fourth in the league in field goal percentage. James Boyd,

1390
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 2: she is tearing it up.

1391
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1392
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 4: I believe a Leah Boston might've been right around the

1393
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 4: top of the league or led the league in field

1394
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: goal percentage as a rookie. So she's been great when

1395
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 4: it comes to efficiency throughout her entire career and she

1396
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 4: continues to get better.

1397
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Kelsey Mitchell had twenty one points as well. Odyssey sim

1398
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 2: twenty two, but Mitchell's twenty one points gives her seven

1399
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy for the year, a new single season

1400
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: scoring record for the Indiana Fever, who are now in

1401
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: the sixth spot in the WNBA. Top eight make the playoffs.

1402
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: Top four get home court in the first round. They're

1403
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 2: three and a half games behind Phoenix for that fourth spot.

1404
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: Two up on LA now for the night, and they'll

1405
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 2: play LA had to head on Friday night in Los Angeles.

1406
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: That'll be all of a sudden, a big get yourself

1407
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 2: in the playoffs game right there.

1408
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, in my mind, the Fever are playing playoff

1409
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 4: games at this point. You can't drop any more, you

1410
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 4: can't afford to really lose any ground. So that mindset

1411
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 4: is probably already there for this team. Now it's just

1412
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 4: about seeing it through.

1413
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: For their last six on the road. Major League Baseball

1414
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: Yesterday not a good day for anybody around here. The

1415
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 2: Chicago Cubs lose in San Francisco last night five to two,

1416
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 2: the Dodgers six, three winners over the Cincinnati Reds. Saint

1417
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 2: Louis got beat up by Pittsburgh eight to three the

1418
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: final score there, and the Chicago White Sox lose to

1419
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City five to four, And even the Indianapolis Indians

1420
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 2: struggled yesterday. They lose it home to the Buffalo Bison's

1421
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: five to four. But big news out of Victory Field

1422
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 2: six thirty five tonight when those two teams play again, Kevin.

1423
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: You slide into first base, you do the hit and

1424
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: ball trick, You pump up the crowd after every out,

1425
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: all twenty seven outs. It's one Tjim McConnell night there

1426
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: will he hop the first pitch. M McConnell's still a

1427
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: first base.

1428
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 4: I trust that he will throw a nice first pitch,

1429
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 4: no hop.

1430
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 2: I'd love to see that somebody strikes out on a

1431
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 2: called the strike, the ball gets behind somebody and is

1432
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 2: a perfect steal of first base. That's got TJ written.

1433
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 5: It all over.

1434
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: I like the hitting ball trick. I like maybe just

1435
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: a small ball only moving runners over via buns tonight.

1436
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 6: I like that.

1437
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: I guess the version of TJ McConnell's.

1438
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 4: I could see TJ also is running over the catcher

1439
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 4: at home play one thousand percent.

1440
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

1441
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 2: And I would be remiss if I did not mention

1442
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 2: the biggest story in the National footballerg yesterday. If you

1443
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: are a pop culture nerd, Taylor Swift on our Instagram

1444
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 2: posts a picture of herb getting engaged to Travis Kelsey.

1445
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, love is in the air, and honestly, I was

1446
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 4: a little bit surprised that it didn't get leaked. So

1447
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 4: shout out to whoever kept under wraps for as long

1448
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 4: as they did, and congrats to those two.

1449
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 5: It probably means you got good people in your circle.

1450
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 4: I would say, Yeah, a lot of money to pay

1451
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 4: the ones who aren't in your circle to shut up.

1452
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 5: This was bank accounts magic.

1453
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Papa Kelsey was saying that the engagement actually happened

1454
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and they were actually engaged

1455
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: when Taylor Switch was on the Kelsey's podcast.

1456
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 4: You know what I need, I need Jason Kelcey along

1457
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 4: those lines, Jeff to be the efficient? Is that the word?

1458
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 4: I need him to be the guy doing that. I

1459
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 4: felt like he'd be great at that, honestly, and he

1460
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 4: seem so happy for his brothers, so.

1461
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 5: It seems like genuine love.

1462
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 4: And so for those out there who are sick of

1463
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,439
Speaker 4: seeing Taylor Swift, you better hope Travis Kelsey retires after

1464
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 4: this year. Otherwise you will see plenty of her this season.

1465
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 2: All right, anything else you guys want to throw in

1466
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: before we had to break and get ready to talk

1467
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: some fantasy football for the first time this year.

1468
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: See Chip Ganassi kind of put to rest the alex

1469
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Plow F one rumors yesterday and full expectation that he

1470
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: will be back in the ten car there. So, I

1471
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: don't you know, alex Plow and contracts has been an

1472
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: issue before. I don't know if I'm ready to say

1473
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: that's total gospel. But clearly Chip felt the need ahead

1474
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: of Sunday season finale in Nashville to come out that

1475
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and Indy Car's coming out of the video game, which

1476
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: I think is awesome. I'd argue that's one of the

1477
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: best ways to connect to young fans.

1478
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 2: Are you there?

1479
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: You great a video game? If I started playing video

1480
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: games right now, I think Maddie would leave me by

1481
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 1: probably lunchtime.

1482
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 4: I want to say, the last time I played a

1483
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 4: racing game, I'd have been Midnight Club. He is too,

1484
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 4: he is two Yeah, Man Furst of Alago in that thing. Yeah,

1485
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 4: I was rising.

1486
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1487
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Mario Kart like a college drinking game. We had to

1488
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: finished a beer by the time he got through the

1489
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: three laps of Mario.

1490
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 5: Kart Need for Speed. Another good one.

1491
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 2: I went through a face when my kids were younger,

1492
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: I had to play a lot of five nights at Freddy's,

1493
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 2: a lot of five nights at Fridday's.

1494
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 4: I have the googlest one.

1495
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I played that one.

1496
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 3: Well.

1497
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: They were fairly young at the time.

1498
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 5: This is the scariest looking thing ever. I was, what

1499
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 5: is this?

1500
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,959

1536

1537
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 2: joining us on the Payless Liquors Hotline. How many leagues

1538
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 2: do you think you'll be doing this year?

1539
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 9: The number is going to be about ten, and I

1540
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 9: haven't drafted most of them yet. I just figured out

1541
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 9: why I was waiting to talk to you guys. I

1542
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 9: have five drafts in the next six days, and.

1544
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,519
Speaker 9: Draft is when I go to hard Rock Stadium to

1547
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 9: I know that that's going to be a topic of

1548
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 9: discussion at some point.

1549
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 8: Maybe we don't go deep.

1550
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 9: Into that, but uh, you know, as the Hurricanes alum,

1551
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 9: I just had to bring it up that I think

1552
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 9: Arcanes are going to give the Irish games.

1553
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: Yes, we are not the same team.

1554
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 9: The Hurricanes are not the same team as they were

1555
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 9: last year, much better defense. Obviously a quarterback change, but

1556
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 9: from you know, I talk to people who watch practice

1557
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 9: and sounds like Carson Beck is his old self and

1558
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 9: that could be a problem for the Irish.

1559
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 2: Kevin just.

1560
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, Dave, keep talking that talk, because

1561
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 4: this guy the studio with.

1562
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: Dave given that, are you surprised that Vegas has the

1563
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: line where it is Notre Dame favor on the road

1564
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: with a starter that's played four snaps In college football.

1565
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 9: Public perception is king, and the way that it works

1566
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 9: in Vegas is that whatever the public thinks is what

1567
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 9: they want to try and bank on.

1568
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 8: And it almost tells me that they think that a

1569
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 8: lot of money.

1570
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 9: Is going to come in on Notre Dame, and it

1571
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 9: probably will, and so they they probably think it's going

1572
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 9: to be a lot closer and maybe goes down to

1573
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 9: the wire.

1574
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 8: And when it's a.

1575
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 9: Game like that, of course there's a chance that the

1576
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 9: underdog can win. So you know, they're probably looking to

1577
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 9: get like sixty forty fifty to fifty. They do that

1578
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 9: on a lot of games, but sometimes they want to

1579
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 9: have the line a little bit funky and to give

1580
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 9: themselves just a bit of an edge. I think this

1581
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 9: could be one of those games.

1582
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk some fantasy football day. That's why

1583
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 2: you're here. So I have a couple I have a question,

1584
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 2: really kind of a two part question, which I'm not

1585
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 2: a fan of, but I've got to ask it this way. Sure,

1586
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 2: as fantasy football philosophies evolve, you know, with zero running back,

1587
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 2: where you wait until you get your first running back,

1588
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 2: until you've filled up all your top receiving spots, that

1589
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,879
Speaker 2: seems to be out of favor. Now, what's the best

1590
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 2: general philosophy moving forward these days?

1591
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 9: So I still think getting at least one really good

1592
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 9: running back is a really good idea. But it does

1593
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 9: depend on how big your league is. What do catches

1594
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 9: count for? How many receivers do you start? The real

1595
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 9: key for me, and I don't mean to kind of

1596
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 9: change the direction of your question, is how you feel

1597
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 9: about the receivers at the top of.

1598
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 8: The draft board.

1599
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 9: How many receivers when you look at a rankings list,

1600
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 9: how many wide receivers do you look at and you go, oh, yeah,

1601
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 9: that's a stud. I would start that guy every week,

1602
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 9: no questions asked, and I would expect somewhere around like

1603
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 9: seventeen to twenty PPR points from that receiver, and for me,

1604
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 9: that answer is like nine. There's like nine receivers that

1605
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 9: are like that, and so I want to try and

1606
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 9: get as many of those guys as I can without

1607
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 9: necessarily having to give up the chance of getting one

1608
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 9: of the elite running backs that are at the beginning

1609
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 9: of a fantasy draft. So you kind of have to

1610
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 9: make the decision about how badly you want or need

1611
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 9: one or two of those nine wide receivers. And maybe

1612
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 9: for you it's not nine. Maybe the number for you

1613
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 9: is seven. And however that number is if it's small,

1614
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 9: you need to take the receiver, even if it means

1615
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 9: passing up on the John Robinson, a Saquon Barkley, a

1616
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 9: Jamier gives.

1617
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 8: You got to go that route because the receivers that

1618
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 8: you'll see later on, you'll go.

1619
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 9: Okay, you know, demonte Adams is good, but he's old

1620
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 9: and I don't know if I could expect him to

1621
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 9: get seventeen points per game. Tyreek Hill was good, He's

1622
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 9: stunk last year and he's kind of old, and I

1623
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 9: don't know where he's head at.

1624
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 8: And we could go on and on with receivers.

1625
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 9: I think that That's really the crux of what your

1626
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 9: draft strategy. Before you walk into draft, find out how

1627
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 9: many receivers you really love, and then try to get

1628
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 9: as many of those guys as you can.

1629
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 4: Again, we have Dave Richard joining us. He covers fantasy

1630
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 4: football in the NFL Draft at CBS Sports. Dave, when

1631
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:18,799
Speaker 4: you look at the Colts's quarterback change, going from Anthony

1632
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 4: Richardson to Daniel Jones's QB one, how do you think

1633
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 4: that affects their receivers, both, I guess in real life,

1634
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,599
Speaker 4: but also in fantasy which that we're talking to you about,

1635
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 4: Like do you feel like some players have been pushed

1636
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 4: stock up and others have been pushed stock down? You know,

1637
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 4: let us know it's.

1638
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 9: Not gonna be by a lot, but yeah, it's up

1639
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 9: a little bit because we're talking about a quarterback. Not

1640
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 9: that Daniel Jones has set the world on fire, but

1641
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 9: he's he does have a higher completion rate over his

1642
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 9: career than Anthony Richardson does, and I mean most quarterbacks do.

1643
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 8: It's just the way that.

1644
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,799
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson's career has worked out.

1645
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:54,919
Speaker 8: So far, and so I think it does give.

1646
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 9: A little bit of a boost to Josh downs to

1647
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 9: Michael Pittman, to Tyler Warren, who I am a huge

1648
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 9: fan of, and I actually think it gives a boost

1649
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 9: to Jonathan Taylor as well, because now Taylor won't have

1650
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 9: quite the same type of competition for touchdowns at the

1651
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 9: goal line. When Anthony Richardson is back there. What a

1652
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 9: nightmare for defenses because they could run an RPO and

1653
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 9: it could go to Taylor, could go to Richardson, Richardson

1654
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:18,719
Speaker 9: could throw it.

1655
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 8: Like there were a number of different ways to go.

1656
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 9: And yeah, they could still do that with Daniel Jones,

1657
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 9: but it's not quite as threatening and it helps john

1658
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 9: and Taylor kind of boost his upside for touchdowns. Maybe

1659
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 9: he scores fourteen this year after having I believe twelve

1660
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 9: last year, and so I think you feel a little

1661
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 9: bit better about those receivers. I don't know if it

1662
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 9: means that you actually go out and target any of

1663
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 9: those guys before round seven, for example, but you'll know

1664
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 9: that all right. Daniel Jones seems like he has a

1665
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 9: long leash, looks like he'll be the Colts quarterback. You

1666
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 9: can feel good about Pittman. Maybe five catches a game down,

1667
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 9: same thing once he's healthy. Warren I mean, you can

1668
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 9: tell me you've watched all the practices.

1669
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 8: I loved him at college, and I think.

1670
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 9: He's a great fit for what the Colts really.

1671
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 8: Want to do and need to do.

1672
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 9: As far as the middle of the field goes and

1673
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 9: finding those one on one matchups. I could see him

1674
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 9: getting four or five catches per game as well.

1675
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: And that's Dave Richard from CBS Fantasy expertis with U

1676
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 1: Seere on the Paylosslookers Hotline, Dave rookies that we like.

1677
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: I had a draft the other night, and I feel like,

1678
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you start looking on the old Oh,

1679
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 1: these are the next best available, and when the rookie

1680
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 1: names pop up, you're always kind of like, huh, I

1681
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: guess I remember that dude from college, But I have

1682
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: no idea his NFL fit. So maybe a rookie at

1683
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: running back, maybe a rookie at wide out.

1684
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 9: To keep an eye on Okay so Omar and Hampton

1685
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 9: as a chance to be potentially as good as Ashton

1686
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 9: genty and you can get him a full round later.

1687
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 9: And everybody knows about gent because he's had so much

1688
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 9: hype and you know, tried to break Barry Sanders record

1689
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 9: at Boys and State and all that stuff. At a

1690
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 9: Marion Hampton, it's a good three down back, and he

1691
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 9: landed in a great scheme for running backs with the

1692
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 9: LA Chargers, with the team that wants to run the football.

1693
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 9: It's a team that clearly notices good and running back

1694
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 9: talent and will lean on that running back. So I

1695
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 9: don't think he's going to lose too many touches to

1696
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 9: Najie Harris, and I'm excited about getting him. I think

1697
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,719
Speaker 9: a round three pick is fine, but if you really

1698
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 9: really wanted him in late round two, I think you

1699
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 9: could take Omaran Hampton at receiver. I keep hearing from

1700
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 9: my friends about how good Matthew Golden looks in Green Bay.

1701
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 9: And I know we're not used to the Packers having

1702
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 9: a bona fide number one wide receiver, but the way

1703
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 9: that Golden finished his career at Texas, it sounds like

1704
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 9: that's the dude that the Packers got and the number

1705
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 9: one receiver that can stretch defenses, earn a big target share,

1706
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 9: be the number one target getter in Green Bay. And

1707
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 9: that's the Packers' offense that was forced to run a

1708
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 9: lot last year. Now I think they're going to be

1709
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 9: able to throw a lot more because Jordan Love is

1710
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 9: healthy aside from his left thumb issue. I definitely think

1711
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 9: that there's a chance that we could see Matthew Golden

1712
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 9: play very well. He's probably maybe like my second or

1713
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 9: third favorite rookie wide receiver. But I like the draft

1714
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 9: value better than I do for Travis Hunter and for

1715
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 9: tedor Roy McMillan. And then at tight end it's Tyler Warren.

1716
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 9: Just the after catch ability that he has the power

1717
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 9: and strength scenes to have translated to the NFL after

1718
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 9: what he did at Penn State, and again I think

1719
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 9: he could be penciled in for four or five catches

1720
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 9: a game.

1721
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 5: Dave, this is Mark. I got a question for you.

1722
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 5: I had to draft the other day. Christianer McCaffrey was

1723
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 5: staring me right in the face, and I passed on

1724
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 5: him because of just the injuries that he's had the

1725
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 5: last couple of years. Am I Am I in the

1726
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,640
Speaker 5: minority there? Or is there concern with Christian McCaffrey just

1727
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 5: giving the hout he's getting older, he's had injuries. Sure,

1728
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 5: what's the plan with him?

1729
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 9: So? Mark, you've got CMC PTSD and that's from him

1730
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 9: that about half the people in fantasy football has because

1731
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 9: about half the people in fantasy football have had Christian

1732
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 9: McCaffrey and then lost him to an injury. It's happened

1733
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 9: three times now over the last five years. It's kind

1734
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 9: of a problem when you think about it, but he's

1735
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 9: if you know that he's healthy and you know that

1736
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 9: the forty nine Ers offenses kind of stand on talent

1737
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 9: outside of McCaffrey, Kittle, Ricky Piersoll's a breakout wide receiver.

1738
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 9: I really like him a lot too. His game is

1739
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 9: great when they're missing so many other guys like i

1740
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 9: UK and Juwan Jennings, and you can't help but think

1741
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 9: that McCaffrey's going to get more work. And McCaffrey has

1742
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,560
Speaker 9: potential to be just as good as a fantasy quarterback

1743
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 9: when he's playing running back, especially if those sketches count.

1744
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 9: So I don't mind taking the chance on Christian McCaffrey.

1745
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 9: It means spending a later pick on Brian Robinson, who's

1746
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 9: the backup running back in Saffrancisco. You want to lock

1747
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 9: up that back and do what you can't to have

1748
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 9: a piece of that forty nine Ers run game because

1749
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 9: usually it's really good but there's no concern about McCaffrey

1750
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 9: having another injury based on anything other than history, and

1751
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 9: that's a bad way to draft. I just think that

1752
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 9: if he was a little banged up now and you know,

1753
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 9: nursing a hamstring injury or something like that, then sure

1754
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 9: we could head.

1755
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 8: For the hills.

1756
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 9: But other than that, like he's ready to go, sounds

1757
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 9: like he's got enough gas in the tank for one

1758
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 9: more huge season. I would take him in the first round.

1759
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 2: Dave Richard CBS any Miami to Notre Dame parting shot

1760
01:17:59,120 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 2: before we let you go?

1761
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 9: No, not at all, because you know I'm gonna be

1762
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 9: on the air again someday and I don't want you

1763
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,719
Speaker 9: guys to remember. Just in cage, Notre Dame crushes the Canes.

1764
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 9: I think it will be a great game. It's always

1765
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,799
Speaker 9: a great atmosphere. The rivalry has been.

1766
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 8: Huge for a long time, and uh, let's go Canes.

1767
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 2: I think we're just gonna get you and Steven Holder

1768
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 2: from ESPN, who's also Miami guy, and Kevin you'll just

1769
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: invide him over watch the game. You'll have cupcakes and milk.

1770
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: Just sink baasa unbelievable fantasy info. Uh, but man, he

1771
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: can kiss my ass when it comes to somebody.

1772
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 2: There we go. We bullet you into it.

1773
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 3: Kevin.

1774
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: There you go, Dave, thank you for the time.

1775
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 3: You got it, guys. Good luck on Sunday.

1776
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 2: There you go, thank you.

1777
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very happy, you know me. You know, I

1778
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 4: wake up and.

1779
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: I got to see Stephen every day. I don't have

1780
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: to see Dave Richard maybe every man.

1781
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 5: That's the best part about it.

1782
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 4: You gotta start, and that's how you do it.

1783
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: You just hide behind the mic exactly.

1784
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 4: But no, you just got to come in with some

1785
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 4: shades on if your team doesn't do exactly as well

1786
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 4: as you want.

1787
01:18:58,800 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: That's some great fantasy info.

1788
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 4: It was, and I keep forgetting the game is Sunday.

1789
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 4: That fund a unique setup.

1790
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: Belichick Monday, right, the Belichick abuse Monday.

1791
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,559
Speaker 2: We will tell everybody what is the latest as far

1792
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 2: as entries into our fantasy football league coming up in

1793
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 2: a moment here is Mark's been working furiously on that.

1794
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 2: During the interview. We'll do it next at ninety five. Well,

1795
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: we finally got Kevin Bown all fired up for Notre

1796
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 2: Dame Miami. I like that you put in another microphone

1797
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: back together over there. That one fall up.

1798
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 1: Tighten the screws right now. I am all tight and

1799
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: ready to go on Sunday night.

1800
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 2: How confident are you in having a brand new quarterback

1801
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 2: and some of the roster turnover from a really great

1802
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 2: team last year.

1803
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it worries me. That environment four snaps total and

1804
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: today's college football you don't usually get that. You know,

1805
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: Notre Dames lived in the portal, so that is of concern. Yeah,

1806
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator, some kicker issues, but they do. I

1807
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: think I have a lot of sure things elsewhere. But yeah,

1808
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: hearing Dave Richard talk like signaty on college game day

1809
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: before Notre Dame played, I you made me feel a

1810
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: little better.

1811
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 2: All right. Everything I've read, seen, guys I've talked to,

1812
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 2: this is they and everybody says you better.

1813
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: Than Miami last year.

1814
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,879
Speaker 5: That last year. Yeah, I got the calendar.

1815
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 2: Here comes to talk.

1816
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 3: Now.

1817
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 2: It's full throated now. But everything he's reloading with incredible

1818
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 2: talent is every everybody I've talked to and seen and

1819
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 2: read says Marcus Freeman is loading it up.

1820
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: I like Notre Dame to be a playoff team, full throated.

1821
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Did you hear that?

1822
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, Yeah, I'm not.

1823
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 2: That means yelling by the way, Yeah, well, yeah darn right,

1824
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: it does well unless you're James Boyd full throated Nah,

1825
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm not the one making those remarks.

1826
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,639
Speaker 1: A text here, I feel like comfy seat Ballard would

1827
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: have kept Juju Brent James boy do you view this

1828
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: as a I'm on the hot seat? He can't be

1829
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: banking on off injured dudes.

1830
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 4: Maybe, but at the end of the day, he played

1831
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 4: eleven games in two years, So whether he was on

1832
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 4: the hot seat or not, you're coming down to choosing

1833
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 4: a roster's power for a guy you just cannot rely

1834
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 4: on and stay healthy. And similar to Anthony, he couldn't

1835
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 4: make it to the preseason healthy. I think maybe his

1836
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 4: prospects look a little differently if he had just been

1837
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,959
Speaker 4: available for the entire training camp in all the preseason,

1838
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 4: but he wasn't. So again, Anthony obviously is a much

1839
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 4: bigger decision as far as his future goes. But I

1840
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 4: don't blame them for moving on from jujus.

1841
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: An undrafted free agent over him. Could you have tried

1842
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: to keep Brents and slid the undrafted guy to the

1843
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: practice squad? Could you try to do both obviously not

1844
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,719
Speaker 1: rely on Brnce to be a starter, be the sixth

1845
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:47,839
Speaker 1: corner for you and see out more of the rookie contract.

1846
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: It is only year three for him. Juju Brents, for

1847
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: what it's worth, thought he was a great scheme fit

1848
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: for Louis Arumo.

1849
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 4: I think the injuries is just just did a man

1850
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 4: and at some point you want to move on from that.

1851
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 4: And perhaps that is a bit of pressure that he's feeling.

1852
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 4: But like I said, when you're hurt all the time,

1853
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 4: it's hard to you know, want to keep you over anybody.

1854
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 4: Quite frankly, it doesn't matter where you're drafted if you're

1855
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 4: not available to play.

1856
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,759
Speaker 2: Availability. They always talk about that being a big available,

1857
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 2: big ability mark. We have a couple more spots for

1858
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 2: We have two more left to award. Will do that

1859
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,600
Speaker 2: one tomorrow and one on Friday. Then we have the

1860
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 2: draft next week. Yeah, I like a plane.

1861
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 5: Uh huh. The plan at this point is to see

1862
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 5: how many people can sign up before Jeff gets in there.

1863
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do I'm gonna wait till the right

1864
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 2: before the draft.

1865
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 5: At this point, we're gonna get kicked out.

1866
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 4: I was going to say, going to get backed out

1867
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 4: is going to go terribly.

1868
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 5: My login, I forgot my credentials. Oh geez, do we

1869
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 5: have any prize Spencer Schrader, wait, any prize for the winner.

1870
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 5: I think we're working on it. I think we can.

1871
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: I think cool.

1872
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 5: We've given stuff out before. I think Cluster Truck has

1873
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 5: stepped up in the past, or Big Lug and all that.

1874
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 5: So I think we can figure something out.

1875
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: Marks just naming brands out loud, putting their putt, put.

1876
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 4: The noisy ross, put their feet by. I was gonna say,

1877
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:04,799
Speaker 4: toys on time.

1878
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 2: Coming is what you're thinking of.

1879
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 5: Cracker Barrel. You need some good pub these days. Why

1880
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 5: don't you sponsor the fantasy draft? Get your asses in here.

1881
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I can get behind a cracker barrel, get the garden.

1882
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 2: We'll do the entire draft and rocking chairs.

1883
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: What do you guys say, Yeah, you can play checkers

1884
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: in between.

1885
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

1886
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 5: The pin game too.

1887
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 9: They have.

1888
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 1: At the store. It always frustrates me.

1889
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: Coming up in a moment, we'll talk more. Notre Dame football, Kevin,

1890
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 2: you're ready to go. Pete Sampson from the Athletic Kevin's

1891
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 2: personal therapist stops by next ninety three five and one

1892
01:23:39,840 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 2: O seven. You're moving James Boyd with that music. I'll

1893
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 2: tell you that right now.

1894
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel so triumphant right now. It's like that

1895
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 4: Heaven's gates have opened. Notre Dame has won Sunday Nights. Kevin,

1896
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:14,679
Speaker 4: it's all happening.

1897
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 1: He's definitely moving me below the waist in between the

1898
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: legs right now. Thank you Mark Dyketon for that.

1899
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: He's made man both of y'all.

1900
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 5: You just made Mark both of them them guys.

1901
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm saying, why you want me not

1902
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 1: to paint some vivid imagery? No, I don't want you

1903
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 1: to pay anything. No, no, well I'll just turn my

1904
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 1: mic off.

1905
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 9: Then.

1906
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 2: Welcome into our next guest, Pete Sampson from The Athletic.

1907
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 2: He covers Notre Dame football and Pete, all I can

1908
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 2: tell you is Kevin Bowen is excited to speak with

1909
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 2: you about Golden Dume football.

1910
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little a little early for some of

1911
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 6: the imagery we've got.

1912
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to tell him. Pete. I I apologize,

1913
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: but you know I was trying to resemble maybe some

1914
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: of your vivid imagery. As a writer, you do tremendous

1915
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 1: job so thank you for the content. I don't know

1916
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: if that's the smoothest transition that I've ever tried for,

1917
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, here we are.

1918
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 6: What are your late?

1919
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: Well, actually, let's go here because we're fresh off a

1920
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 1: quarterback battle in our market with the Indianapolis Colts, and

1921
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: I think largely that quarterback battle went. I don't know,

1922
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything too too shocking, whereas as

1923
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: I observed the Notre Dame quarterback battle from Afar, it

1924
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: sounded like a bit like a roller coaster. Could you

1925
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe describe it for our audience? It hasn't been glued

1926
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: to the athletic Yeah, it was.

1927
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 6: Because I think it started where CJ.

1928
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 10: Carr felt like the inevitable winner of it, and then

1929
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 10: as camp unfolded, you're talking to people who are practicing, like.

1930
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 6: Actually, Kenny Minchi's been really good, and then you just

1931
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 6: kept hearing that, kept hearing that, kept hearing that.

1932
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 10: So it was almost like the expect the guy who

1933
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 10: won it, you expected to win it anyway, but how

1934
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 10: he got there was a surprise. So you know, what,

1935
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 10: do they have both ready on Sunday night at Miami?

1936
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,719
Speaker 10: I think they absolutely do you know they're they're hopeful

1937
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 10: that Carr will be able to answer the call and

1938
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 10: you know, handle the environment and all that stuff. But

1939
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 10: I think you gotta be you gotta be ready with

1940
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 10: both we are.

1941
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 2: They all on special teams this year.

1942
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 10: Uh, not as good as they were last year because

1943
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 10: they kind of threw a perfect game for pretty much

1944
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 10: all season. Uh, you know, they lose Mitch Jeter, the

1945
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 10: kicker who at the game winning kind of walk off

1946
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 10: against Penn State, you know, was huge against A and

1947
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 10: M earlier in the year. So Noah Burnett's a transfer

1948
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 10: kicker they have coming in. I think what I'm mostly

1949
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 10: sort of see and social teams is they're gonna stick

1950
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 10: Jeremiah Love at kickoff return and that that would get

1951
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 10: you out of your seat if you're a notre name

1952
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 10: fan to watch.

1953
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 6: So that's probably the most interesting thing to me on

1954
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 6: special teams, is Jeremiah Love back there.

1955
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 4: So along those lines, Pete, we know that Jeremiah Love

1956
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 4: is coming in with a lot of hype and deservedly so.

1957
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 4: He's been a great player for the Fighting Irish. But

1958
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 4: you had a piece recently in the Athletic kind of

1959
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 4: going inside the mind of him. Great piece by the way, Yeah,

1960
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 4: you know, and I guess that's the unbiased opinion of

1961
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 4: my colleague there, Kevin Bone. But here it's a great

1962
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 4: piece to kind of go on depth and what kind

1963
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 4: of makes him who he is and how much do

1964
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 4: you think he cares about the Heisman, but more so

1965
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,759
Speaker 4: just for what that will present from a team standpoint,

1966
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 4: because obviously being in that conversation, you got to be winning.

1967
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he cares about it on an individual level.

1968
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 3: You know.

1969
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 6: That's I don't think he's going to come out and

1970
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 6: tell you that, but you talk to.

1971
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:32,560
Speaker 10: People that know him, and yeah, he cares about it

1972
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 10: a lot it, you know, but notre Name's going to

1973
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 10: have to go what eleven and one for him to

1974
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 10: win the Heisman at a minimum, And I think at

1975
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 10: how his Heisman campaign, you know, does he get off

1976
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 10: the ground Sunday night or not. I think it's gonna

1977
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 10: have to be kind of more highlight driven than stat driven,

1978
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 10: if that makes sense, Like he's.

1979
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 6: Going to have to have a bunch of wild plays

1980
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 6: and considering he can hurtle over you or run through

1981
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 6: you or run around you, like he's very capable of it.

1982
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:05,919
Speaker 6: But yeah, he's I don't think people like I think people.

1983
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 10: Nationally are caught onto him based on the playoff, but

1984
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 10: I don't think people understand just how athletic and talented

1985
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 10: he is. I mean he is he could start on

1986
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 10: any team in the country anywhere, almost at any time,

1987
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 10: Like he is a absolutely freak athlete.

1988
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: Again, Pete Sampson with us here the Pride of DePaul,

1989
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: a DePaul product. There some rudy and interest comeing on

1990
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: Bell season does great work covering the fighting irish for

1991
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 1: the athletic One of the other pieces I enjoyed from

1992
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: it here recently, Pete, was you know, you basically described

1993
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,919
Speaker 1: Notre Dame under Marcus Freeman right now as a durable

1994
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: national title contender, And I think I probably speak for

1995
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: a lot of sports fans. What you want out of

1996
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,640
Speaker 1: your team is how do you have a five, I

1997
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,879
Speaker 1: don't know, seven year window where you feel like, annually

1998
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: your team can be one of the last one standing.

1999
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: Obviously very difficult to achieve. I think in some ways

2000
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: it's become harder in college sports to maybe get there,

2001
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,400
Speaker 1: just with how much trosters turnover year in a year out.

2002
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: But in what ways do you feel like Notre Dame

2003
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: has become a little bit more of a you know,

2004
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 1: constant team up their top five, top ten in recent

2005
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: years because it wasn't that really for you know, a

2006
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: better part of the two thousands.

2007
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that they've done a good job of

2008
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 6: getting the foundation right.

2009
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 10: And you know, everyone uses the word alignment in college football,

2010
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 10: like Brian Kelly used it at LSU was the reason

2011
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 10: they left Notre Dame, and I think he was in

2012
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 10: some ways right, Like I don't think Notre Name was

2013
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 10: aligned the way that it needed to be, and from

2014
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 10: the trustees to the president, to the ad to the

2015
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 10: head coach, I think even to like the campus like

2016
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 10: this is a complicated place with admissions and residentiality stuff.

2017
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 10: Like I think everyone at not everyone, but more people

2018
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 10: inside Notre Dame understand that when Notreame football is good,

2019
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 10: like the University of Notre Dame is winning too, And

2020
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 10: that's not always been the case, but you know, the

2021
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 10: taste of it last season. You know, Marcus Freeman is

2022
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 10: somebody that's pretty easy to support around here.

2023
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:01,759
Speaker 6: That helps.

2024
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 10: But I think even at the highest level they looked

2025
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:06,800
Speaker 10: at it and be like, we want to go for this,

2026
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 10: Like let's not apologize for trying to be great at

2027
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 10: football and having a high end academic experience, so that

2028
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 10: it took a while for Notdame to get there.

2029
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 6: But I do think this is as all in on

2030
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 6: football as Not Dame has been since I've started covering

2031
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 6: the team.

2032
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 2: Curious question, A little bit of a different some changes

2033
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 2: along the offensive line after some transfers out, Believe it

2034
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 2: or not, but it was a strength and always is

2035
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 2: a strength the offensive line seems to be for Notre Dame.

2036
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 2: What's it look like right now?

2037
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 6: I mean a lot better than it was last year.

2038
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 10: They I mean they went to A and M with

2039
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 10: six career starts and their starting offensive line.

2040
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 6: You know, both their tackles are back.

2041
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 3: They're good.

2042
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,679
Speaker 10: You know, their center returns. He's the Indiana guy, ash

2043
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 10: and Craig, he's back from an ACL. Billy Shrauss is

2044
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 10: the left guard.

2045
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 6: You know, he's a captain. So they have four starters

2046
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 6: back last year they had essentially one and a half.

2047
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 9: And then you know the.

2048
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 6: Question is their right guard Gerby Lambert. He wins that job.

2049
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 10: He's a sophomore six seven, three twenty looks like a

2050
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:09,679
Speaker 10: you know, power forward, you know center on a basketball court,

2051
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,320
Speaker 10: like very athletic, huge guy.

2052
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 6: So they should be good.

2053
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 10: You know, this should be a really good offensive and

2054
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 10: then it needs to be good because I think that

2055
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 10: last year they kind of were bailed out by Riley

2056
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:22,799
Speaker 10: Leonards Legs a little bit if they gave up pressure

2057
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:25,600
Speaker 10: or CJ. Carr, Kenny Mitchee. They're not as escapable. So

2058
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:27,759
Speaker 10: Line's got to take a step forward.

2059
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 6: They have the material to do it.

2060
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 4: Pete, this is more of a selfish question because I

2061
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 4: covered him when he was in high school at En

2062
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 4: Drayan up in Northwest Indiana. Drake Bowen named the team captain.

2063
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 4: How do you view his upcoming season and what could

2064
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 4: be the jump that he takes because I saw this kid,

2065
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 4: I mean when we played to a football it was

2066
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 4: like good luck. And now I'm seeing him, you know,

2067
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 4: show up on the bigger stages, obviously coming off that

2068
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 4: national championship run last year.

2069
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it is kind of classic Notre Dame

2070
01:31:57,439 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 10: middle linebacker of the last you know, thirty years or so,

2071
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 10: Like it's you know J. D. Bertrand's with the Falcons,

2072
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 10: Jack Kaiser Indiana guys with the Jaguars. Now like Bowen's

2073
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 10: like those guys you know, is he get a freak

2074
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 10: athlete who's going to cover Jeremiah Love out of the

2075
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 10: backfield every down? Probably not, but knowing where to be

2076
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:18,799
Speaker 10: when to be there, filling gaps like getting everyone aligned.

2077
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 10: Like he's just he's kind of a throwback linebacker. And yeah,

2078
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 10: I think he is in line for a very very

2079
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 10: good season.

2080
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,559
Speaker 2: Well, any words to pump Kevin Bowing up and get

2081
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 2: all fired up for Miami before we move on today.

2082
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 1: Pete's just as long as the athletic subscriptions paid for

2083
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 1: from a different Bowing account, that's all that matters with you.

2084
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:41,839
Speaker 1: I just got to get this creepy Indian Indian interview

2085
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: to preview the Nerdame season every year.

2086
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, as long as you know it's not twenty seventeen again,

2087
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 10: there's no turnover chain. I don't think that the atmosphere

2088
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 10: at Miami is going to be as like knock you

2089
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 10: back on your heels as it was.

2090
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 6: I think it will be loud and it will be intense.

2091
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 10: But I think Notre Name is built much better than

2092
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 10: the last time they went down there to play Miami,

2093
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 10: And like it's just a manner of like hey, car

2094
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:07,680
Speaker 10: Let's hand the ball off the four. Let's take the

2095
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 10: easy you know, completions to Reardon or you know, the

2096
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 10: other receivers they've got. So if they can get the

2097
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 10: quarterback just to play like a B minus game, I

2098
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 10: think that.

2099
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 3: They will win.

2100
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:19,560
Speaker 6: But you know, I've seen quarterbacks go down there and

2101
01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 6: not quite hit B minus.

2102
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:23,839
Speaker 1: Did I see you're still looking for Catholics versus convicts

2103
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:25,639
Speaker 1: attendees for a potential story?

2104
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 6: Did I see that I have found enough?

2105
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 10: It's been hilarious to to tract on people who went

2106
01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 10: to the game down there in eighty nine, because that's

2107
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 10: sort of what ended the series way back when some

2108
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 10: of them, like were seven years old when they were there,

2109
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 10: and I think they got they heard some words they'd

2110
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 10: never heard before, maybe had some drinks thrown at them

2111
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,720
Speaker 10: they've ever had thrown at them before. You know, kind

2112
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 10: of a traumatic experience, I think for some NOTEME fans

2113
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 10: back in the day.

2114
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 4: So, Pete, I do want to kind of go back

2115
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 4: to CJ.

2116
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:53,800
Speaker 8: Carr.

2117
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 4: There is a lot of pressure on him obviously to perform.

2118
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 4: So how do you think he has prepared him himself

2119
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 4: as best as he can before he's really thrown into

2120
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 4: that fire. Because I don't know how much you can

2121
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 4: prepare four snaps of Purdue last year. Are you saying

2122
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 4: that that didn't prep him? I mean Purdue football last

2123
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:14,840
Speaker 4: year was you know, not exactly riveting stuff to say

2124
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 4: the least. But with CJ, carry on all seriousness. You know,

2125
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 4: he's replacing a guy and Ryan Leonard who is now

2126
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 4: here with the Colts, who you know, did a great job.

2127
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 4: He helped him get to the biggest age of the sport,

2128
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:27,240
Speaker 4: and now you got to fill that guy's shoes.

2129
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's tough because the offense is going to change.

2130
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,800
Speaker 10: He doesn't move like Leonard moves. He throws a much

2131
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 10: better ball. I think the thing with Carr is like,

2132
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 10: how do you make the game plan not revolver around

2133
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 10: the quarterback, which is hard to do for a coach

2134
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,320
Speaker 10: because quarterback just makes everything happen.

2135
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,679
Speaker 6: But like you got love, you got a good.

2136
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 10: Receiver group, really good tight end, multiple backs, good offensive line,

2137
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 10: Like just keep it as simple as possible. And it's like,

2138
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:58,679
Speaker 10: maybe you have to not check out us some plays

2139
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 10: that you run into some bad look that's fine. Just

2140
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 10: like if you don't make the catastrophic mistake at quarterback

2141
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 10: in cars first start. I think it'll be okay, but

2142
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 10: you know he is kind of more of a gun

2143
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 10: slinging quarterback, like he wants to take some chances. So like,

2144
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 10: how does notary balance Like, Okay, let's be aggressive, but

2145
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 10: not too aggressive. That's a that's a tough.

2146
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 6: Line to walk, uh in a pretty tough environment.

2147
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 2: Biggest notable thing is no no Northern Illinois on the

2148
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 2: schedule this year, right yeah.

2149
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 10: I mean they finally got out of playing Max schools.

2150
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 10: It wasn't working out for them, so you know, some

2151
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 10: people will accuse them of ducking the MAC. I think

2152
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 10: that's probably unfair, but you know it's uh, you know,

2153
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,320
Speaker 10: get get the let's get a little more sec power

2154
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 10: for conference opponents on there, makes it more interesting for everybody.

2155
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you, Pete. Thanks so much

2156
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 2: for stopping by anytime.

2157
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 3: Thank you.

2158
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 2: I saw the little rye grin on your face and

2159
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,479
Speaker 2: I brought up Northern Illinois.

2160
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 1: Great writer, Pete Sampson. Good dude, I love him.

2161
01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 4: My sister is a Northern Illinois alone by the way,

2162
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,759
Speaker 4: and uh, she knows nothing about football, but she texted

2163
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 4: me that day and was like, is this a big deal?

2164
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 2: Yes?

2165
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

2166
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Every time I see that hammock. Dude, the coach coach

2167
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 1: just pains me just paying and I mean like it's

2168
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 1: it's such a great story.

2169
01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 5: I mean, so he bounce back though, I mean he

2170
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 5: made all the ways to the name.

2171
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 1: I know, man, But I'll never forget Leonard's interception on

2172
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 1: that day. What a horrific throw that hold that against him? Still,

2173
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: who's uh probably.

2174
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 4: About say you can see him in a couple of

2175
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 4: hours now, you know again, get that you got to

2176
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 4: run from nothing.

2177
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 2: You could get that all cleared up with a quick

2178
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame.

2179
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I think their quarterback situation from a

2180
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,800
Speaker 1: throwing standpoint will change. I think there are a lot

2181
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 1: of times last year, especially in the playoffs, where Notre

2182
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 1: Dame treated Riley Leonard like remember how the Colts treated

2183
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz late in the twenty twenty one season. You

2184
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 1: know what, names like, dude, you're not throwing a consequential

2185
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: ball at all. And so you know, maybe we can

2186
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 1: go down the Leonard out a little bit.

2187
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 2: We're surprised he threw a couple of really nice footballs

2188
01:36:57,640 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 2: in that last preseason.

2189
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: Get very night. Sure, But again that's probably important to

2190
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 1: keep it into context of who the opponent was all right.

2191
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, their allergic to defense in Cincinnati and.

2192
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 1: Their third and four stringers. But some very nice balls

2193
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:13,719
Speaker 1: from Riley Lander.

2194
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 2: But that was that's what I was looking for, Like

2195
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 2: is the ball on time? Yeah, I mean weird.

2196
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:19,720
Speaker 1: The throwt of Treadwell was as good to a throw

2197
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 1: as you'll see. And that's honestly, I think I said

2198
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,120
Speaker 1: this when he was drafted. There's a little bit of like, wait.

2199
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 1: At times Notre Dame fans were like, he's the white

2200
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, great runner. At times he'll throw the deep

2201
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 1: ball and you're like, damn, there's a lot there. But

2202
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: then some of the missing you know, you go back

2203
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 1: to that National title game, part of Notre Dame digging

2204
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 1: themselves an early hole. Leonard remember, ran his heart out

2205
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:44,120
Speaker 1: on that opening drive. I mean it was one of

2206
01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 1: the more impressive physical efforts you've seen fourth down conversion

2207
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 1: at fourth down conversion. HELLI pukes after the drive and

2208
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 1: then maybe honestly that impacted him the next couple drives

2209
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 1: because then he just had some big, big misses on

2210
01:37:57,920 --> 01:38:00,640
Speaker 1: the next couple of drives. Notre Dame defense is on

2211
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: the field way too much. Next thing, you know, you're

2212
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 1: digging out of a huge hole. And then again second half,

2213
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: like Richardson, he gets into a two minute offense and

2214
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:10,479
Speaker 1: he's slinging it all over the field and Notre Dame's

2215
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: getting back in that game. So it's really interesting how

2216
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 1: similar those two players are.

2217
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 2: In my mind, it's Fan Morning Show ninety three five

2218
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 2: one or seventy five Fan later on today, Chris Ballard

2219
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 2: going to be meeting with the media just before one o'clock.

2220
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:27,679
Speaker 4: What's the one thing you really want to know about James?

2221
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 4: What is the plan for Anthony Richardson? No one can

2222
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 4: answer that question. They just say, oh, he's the backup,

2223
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 4: he's one play away. I don't care about one play away.

2224
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,639
Speaker 4: What is his future with this franchise When you drafted

2225
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,640
Speaker 4: him fourth overall two years ago and he is the

2226
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 4: highest drafted player, says Andrew Luck. You gotta have a

2227
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 4: plan for that guy, and if you don't, well maybe

2228
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 4: you all should not be in the positions that you're in.

2229
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 4: Just to talk.

2230
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:55,760
Speaker 1: Could be the last ever Chris Bodd press conference. It

2231
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:56,160
Speaker 1: could be.

2232
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 5: Honestly, I'll be late to that party. I feel like

2233
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 5: we've said that for how many years now, When he's

2234
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 5: always back.

2235
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,479
Speaker 4: Keep in mind there's a change in ownership. And you know,

2236
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 4: I'm not saying this, uh jokingly, but I say this

2237
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 4: with I think common sense. I don't think any owner,

2238
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 4: whether they're family members or not, loved Chris Ballard, like

2239
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 4: Jim irsay, loved Chris Ballard. And that is a factor

2240
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:23,120
Speaker 4: I think that we have to consider. When Jim irsay,

2241
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 4: you know, rest in Peace is no longer here, I think.

2242
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 2: Specifically I want to hear him talking about how they've

2243
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 2: completely remade that secondary in the last six months and

2244
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 2: even in the last several weeks, and it's not gotten

2245
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 2: any younger. Does that indicate I mean, they're always going

2246
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 2: to say that they're in win now mode, but it's

2247
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 2: just very un Chris Ballard, like all these moves, and

2248
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,679
Speaker 2: I'm just curious specifically how much input has Lelen Romo

2249
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:50,160
Speaker 2: had on that.

2250
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think honestly, it's a I think

2251
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 1: it is a compliment to Chris Ballard in that he

2252
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: has attributed as much attention as he has to a

2253
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,599
Speaker 1: position group that I think was a huge reason why

2254
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: the Colts did not make the postseason last year. I

2255
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,880
Speaker 1: think too many times there's been a little bit rusting

2256
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: on your laurels content meant, hey, guys are going to

2257
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: grow in the system, et cetera, et cetera, whereas this

2258
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: year at corner it was just an absolute one point eighty. Again,

2259
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: some of these guys are getting up there in age.

2260
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 1: I think you have to acknowledge that. But he has

2261
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 1: added two former All pros, two former third round picks.

2262
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: And then we'll see about Mike Hilton, which James had

2263
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 1: that report yesterday, the veteran corner. He's got probably what

2264
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,639
Speaker 1: fifty sixty starts in the NFL, him fifty six. There

2265
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: you go, fifty six to him coming in for a

2266
01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: workout today. So I again, in the nine years of

2267
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, I cannot recall one position group he has

2268
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: ever had this much attention to, and it not being

2269
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 1: a group that you've just simply said all of the

2270
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: guys from last year are gone, like Kenny Moore still here,

2271
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:01,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Jones still here. We'll see how the practice squad

2272
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: plays out for a few other guys. So definitely, I

2273
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: I that is a position group that they've invested a

2274
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 1: ton in, and I think rightfully so. And I'm sure

2275
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: Lou Anrumo's presence has something to do with it.

2276
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 3: All.

2277
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,479
Speaker 2: Right, let's check things down, Mark, let everybody know what's

2278
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:18,160
Speaker 2: going on in the world.

2279
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 1: For thirty five snap hold, kick is up, The kick

2280
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:23,719
Speaker 1: is good.

2281
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:27,720
Speaker 2: Good, you takes the lead.

2282
01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 4: Sorry, Kevin about to say, if he punches you right now,

2283
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:33,160
Speaker 4: I would not be surprised.

2284
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 5: Sorry, Sometimes there's that guy might.

2285
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 2: Have to look the other way in a moment here

2286
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 2: and just whatever.

2287
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 5: I don't want to see. There's gonna be some fires

2288
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 5: and moving up in hill trying to get him fired

2289
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 5: up for Sunday.

2290
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:46,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we got a lot of Marx

2291
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 1: teams playing for the actual championship events in their respective sport,

2292
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 1: right Mark, you know it. Yeah, that's happened a lot

2293
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 1: with the Bears lately, Cubs lately.

2294
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts released their fifty three man roster, at least

2295
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 2: the initial version of that roster last night, just about

2296
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 2: an hour after the NFL deadline mandated they get down

2297
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 2: to fifty three players. Local cornerback Juju Brins among the

2298
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 2: casualties yesterday. Could he be brought back on the practice squad?

2299
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 4: James Boyd, Who'll have to clear waivers, which I think

2300
01:42:19,439 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 4: might be tough, but some things might be weary of

2301
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 4: his injury history, so we'll have to kind of wait

2302
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:25,920
Speaker 4: and see how that all shakes out.

2303
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:28,720
Speaker 2: Jelani Woods, Kevin Bowen does not make the cut at

2304
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 2: the tight end position. They still keep four, but he

2305
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 2: was the odd man out.

2306
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, no real surprise thought Will Mallory had the

2307
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: better camp than him really throughout. So yeah, we'll see.

2308
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: As James said, you know, oftentimes you get in these

2309
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:43,599
Speaker 1: situations with former high draft picks. Of yes, the practice

2310
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 1: squad is enticing, and you know the situation that you've

2311
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 1: been in, but also do you view it as, hey,

2312
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 1: here's an opportunity to go find a fresh start somewhere else.

2313
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:54,560
Speaker 1: So again, we'll get clarity on a lot of this

2314
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 1: here pretty soon. Noon is when the waiver claims get processed,

2315
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll here from Chris Bout a little bit

2316
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: after last time.

2317
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 2: Now I would look forward to that. In the meantime,

2318
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:08,559
Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever advanced closer to a potential playoff spot

2319
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,160
Speaker 2: last night with a twenty. They've improved their record to

2320
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 2: twenty and eighteen with a ninety five, seventy five to

2321
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:15,600
Speaker 2: twenty point win over the.

2322
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 6: The half.

2323
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 2: I would say Seattle Storm last night, who just in

2324
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 2: the second half were never really even in the basketball game, James, Nope,

2325
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 2: they got beat down. The storm was put on them

2326
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 2: last night. And shouts to Odyssey Simms, who I think

2327
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,640
Speaker 2: had a great game, probably her best game as a

2328
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 2: Fever member. And they're right in the thick of it,

2329
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 2: as they've been all year, despite and you know, obviously

2330
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 2: going through some major injuries, one of them being the

2331
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 2: most popular one being the absence of Caitlin Clark. That

2332
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 2: was her sixteenth straight game of not being available last night.

2333
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 2: Hopefully she gets back soon. But the team is now

2334
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:53,640
Speaker 2: twenty and eighteen, sixth place in the WNBA standings, three

2335
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:55,760
Speaker 2: and a half games out of the fourth spot, which

2336
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 2: Phoenix occupies right now. That would be home court advantage

2337
01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 2: in the first round the playoffs. But the good news

2338
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 2: is two games up on the La Sparks for ninth place,

2339
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:06,680
Speaker 2: and that would be the first team out. They will

2340
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 2: play in Los Angeles Friday night, ten pm airtime for

2341
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,599
Speaker 2: the fan pregame show nine forty five. Ok over, there

2342
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 2: got some sneezes, all right, bless you. Aliah Bustin also

2343
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 2: had twenty seven points, nine rebounds last night, and Kelsey

2344
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 2: Mitchell with twenty one points goes to seven hundred and

2345
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,439
Speaker 2: seventy for the season. That's the most in a single

2346
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 2: season all time by an Indiana Fever player.

2347
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 4: I always wonder if you're someone like Timika Catchings Overhels

2348
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 4: had the previous record and you play less games, you

2349
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,719
Speaker 4: tell them like, hey, wait a second, now, I didn't

2350
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,759
Speaker 4: have an extra four or five games. Nevertheless, Kelsey Mitchell

2351
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 4: one of the best scorers on Earth.

2352
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 2: Yep, she did it last night. Major League Baseball, nobody

2353
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 2: went in in our neighborhood last night. Giants over the

2354
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,840
Speaker 2: Cubs five to two. Pirates beat the Cardinals eight three

2355
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:53,640
Speaker 2: in the Cincinnati Reds swooning. Now they beaten by the

2356
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 2: Dodgers six to three. Just not getting it togetherantas think, Mark,

2357
01:44:59,360 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 2: you're late on that.

2358
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 1: Well it was, uh, it was fun while it lasted,

2359
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 1: just stink.

2360
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 5: Throwing dirt on him.

2361
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 2: Have I brought up Ellie Dayla Cruz now Kansas City

2362
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:13,719
Speaker 2: only long, but it was deep and wide, people excited,

2363
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 2: full produce. Oh man, didn't we have a new Kevin

2364
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:21,880
Speaker 2: Bowen entry And.

2365
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: There's definitely moving me below the waist in between the

2366
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:26,680
Speaker 1: legs right now. Thank you, Mark dyked him for that.

2367
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 3: So not right?

2368
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 6: But what do you mean?

2369
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:30,799
Speaker 1: I was describing how I was feeling.

2370
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 2: I was describing the line around the stadium. Wow, that's all.

2371
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 5: It was a very descriptive show today.

2372
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buffalo Bison's over the Indianapolis Indians five to four.

2373
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 2: Last night Indians played a night at Victory Field six

2374
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 2: thirty five. A great excuse to go to the game tonight,

2375
01:45:45,800 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 2: James Boyd, It'll be TJ McConnell, Knight.

2376
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 4: Shout out to TJ man man of the people, someone

2377
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 4: who will, as Kevin said, slide into first base hidden

2378
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 4: ball trick. I believe he would run over the catcher

2379
01:45:57,560 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 4: to force the non out and like not the while

2380
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:01,639
Speaker 4: out of his hand or something like that. He would

2381
01:46:01,680 --> 01:46:02,280
Speaker 4: go all out and do.

2382
01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: It all bunts.

2383
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: Yep.

2384
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: That's a little eight foot fade away longer line tonight

2385
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 1: for TJ McConnell or Blueie at Victory Field.

2386
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 4: Oh Blue for sure.

2387
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 2: I still go TJ, come on, don't come on you.

2388
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: Blue is like a global I imagine that blue Australian dog.

2389
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: Longer line than a in and and closed. What keV,

2390
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 1: can you imagine a longer line for a blue Australian dog,

2391
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:33,599
Speaker 1: then the fan favorite of a Game seven NBA finalist team.

2392
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 5: There'll be more adults on than McConnell line. I can

2393
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 5: tell you that much.

2394
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:41,479
Speaker 2: Fair uh US Open last night, second seat Swhite Duck

2395
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 2: gets a win in two sets. Cocoa Goff needed three sets,

2396
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,599
Speaker 2: but the number three seed in American advances there, as

2397
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 2: did the number six seed, Amanda's Amova, also an American.

2398
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,600
Speaker 2: She win one in a straight sets. So that's the

2399
01:46:55,680 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 2: latest on what's going on in the US Open. Anything

2400
01:46:57,360 --> 01:46:59,800
Speaker 2: else you want to throw in Regarding NFL pop culture,

2401
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:00,919
Speaker 2: New James Boyd.

2402
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:04,719
Speaker 4: Shout out to the Swifties. Big day for them yesterday

2403
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 4: with Taylor Swift announcing her engagement to one Travis Kelcey. So,

2404
01:47:10,240 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 4: as you mentioned in the first hour of the SHAW,

2405
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 4: I believe congratch to those kids. We're thirty five.

2406
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:21,599
Speaker 5: Well you get to a point, everybody, Happy fifty fifth birthday.

2407
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 5: Matt Paynter, by the way, today we go, yes, that

2408
01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 5: young man.

2409
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 2: This is the year of Painter and Purdue up there.

2410
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's gonna get done this year.

2411
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 4: Maybe it's gonna get done. National Championship all right, that

2412
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 4: would be pretty special. I'm excited to watch Braden Smith

2413
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 4: cook up again. He's such a great college player. Man,

2414
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 4: is he special?

2415
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 6: I can't wait.

2416
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 2: Coming up at a moment, we'll talk more about cuts

2417
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:49,719
Speaker 2: around the National Football League. I have entered the Fantasy

2418
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:50,760
Speaker 2: Football League, Martin.

2419
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,439
Speaker 5: I'm double checking you've said that before.

2420
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 2: I have not said that before. Oh, he's in. We'll

2421
01:47:57,080 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: check it next on ninety three five and one seven.

2422
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 2: Fan people are already lobbying mark ticket put into the

2423
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:06,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football League and wondering what they need to do

2424
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:09,839
Speaker 2: to get through to you. And there's like literally hundreds

2425
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 2: of these things to go through.

2426
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 5: Talk to Jeff, don't talk to me. Two spots left.

2427
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:20,719
Speaker 2: We'll get there tomorrow, Friday. We'll get there. But everybody

2428
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 2: wants in and I appreciate that, and we'll see what

2429
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:24,760
Speaker 2: we can do before the end of the week. In

2430
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:27,680
Speaker 2: the meantime, Chris Ballard will meet with the media a

2431
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 2: little bit later on today once waivers have been cleared

2432
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,840
Speaker 2: or guys have been claimed around the league, and so

2433
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 2: we might have some more clarity there. I'm just curious,

2434
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:39,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Bowen, if there's an area where the Colts would

2435
01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 2: be looking to claim somebody off waivers. What area would

2436
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,480
Speaker 2: that be or is it just depend on the particular

2437
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:45,559
Speaker 2: player that might pop up.

2438
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think honestly with Ballard, they've less gone with

2439
01:48:49,400 --> 01:48:51,960
Speaker 1: definite areas of need and more opted with oh yeah,

2440
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: we like that guy in the draft, let's give him

2441
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: a chance now here and we'll figure out the roster

2442
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,759
Speaker 1: mechanics a little bit later. But if you went strictly

2443
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:03,120
Speaker 1: off positional need, certainly linebacker, there's only four of them

2444
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,639
Speaker 1: on the roster, and then I would go off.

2445
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 4: Only one of them has started more than two games.

2446
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, Zia Franklin being the one. Jalen Carlis is

2447
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: out for at least a month here to start the season. Yea,

2448
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 1: I look at running back. I think you need a

2449
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 1: pass catcher there. I don't know if they're urgency those

2450
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 1: as high as it is in my mind, and maybe

2451
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Goodson will be back early in the season. But

2452
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: still I think I would look there, and offensive tackle.

2453
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 1: Jalen Travis is the fourth round pick out Iowa State.

2454
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: He is your swing tackle there. But I still think

2455
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 1: that's just a position, especially with Braden Smith nearing the

2456
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 1: age of thirty, that you try to look there and

2457
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: see if there's anybody you can develop.

2458
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,760
Speaker 2: Kevin Bryan texted in something interesting. He said, Juju has

2459
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:47,760
Speaker 2: been her a lot, so it's understandable he was wighd

2460
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,760
Speaker 2: by the cults. But I can't help but wonder that

2461
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 2: Juju being wave takes a little attention away from all

2462
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,559
Speaker 2: the Anthony Richardson not starting discussion in the coming days

2463
01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 2: and especially at today's press conference for Ballard. Do you

2464
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:02,679
Speaker 2: think that press conference sounds like today?

2465
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I think it'll be a lot of quarterback centric combo. Yeah,

2466
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there'll be a Juju question or two,

2467
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's gonna.

2468
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 4: Be ninety percent will be about the quarterback.

2469
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be heavy, heavy quarterback. And the last time

2470
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 1: I heard from Ballad was just before they started training camp,

2471
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 1: and this is the last time we typically hear from

2472
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: them throughout a season, so you know, a lot of

2473
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:25,719
Speaker 1: it is, you know, bigger picture stuff anyways, and obviously

2474
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation is dominating things, and so yes, I

2475
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,160
Speaker 1: would expect them to that topic to be the heavy

2476
01:50:33,200 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: way on.

2477
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:37,639
Speaker 4: If Kevin starts with the question about adding a receiving

2478
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:42,600
Speaker 4: running back, I will certainly question where his head's But

2479
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 4: I truly believe we're just going to be asking a

2480
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 4: bunch of quarterback questions until we run out, and then

2481
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 4: it's gonna be like, oh, wait a second, there's other

2482
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 4: players on the team. But that's usually how it goes

2483
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 4: when you make a decision. That is this seismic. I mean,

2484
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,760
Speaker 4: this is I don't know, people keep asking in the

2485
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 4: text line or YouTube or even out in person to

2486
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 4: see people ting about the team, and like, man, you

2487
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 4: guys are been hammering this quarterback decision because it's a

2488
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 4: big deal. Like, I know, people want us to move on,

2489
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 4: and we will obviously talk about the quarterback who's plaing

2490
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 4: if actually when the game start. However, for now, until

2491
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 4: we hear from the GM, that is still the number

2492
01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 4: one topic in this market by far. That is a huge,

2493
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 4: huge decision.

2494
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 11: It definitely made me think, and I mean Bowen, every

2495
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 11: time I freaking read or listen to Bowen, it's like

2496
01:51:23,040 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 11: a constant freaking barrage of a white house.

2497
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 1: The white out position's gotten better since yeah he made

2498
01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 1: that comment, Yeah right, mm hmm.

2499
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:36,599
Speaker 11: They're young, but I do think we're really skilled. I mean,

2500
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:40,280
Speaker 11: Bowen ought at least be freaking happy for once. I mean,

2501
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 11: you got heard about beat over the head with wideouts

2502
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 11: forever and here we are.

2503
01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 1: Look at this. That's the influence you have, the influence

2504
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:50,680
Speaker 1: you have that's probably taking it.

2505
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 2: You think they're in the war room over there, done draft,

2506
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:54,799
Speaker 2: They're going, what would Kevin Bowen?

2507
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:55,599
Speaker 1: Do they are?

2508
01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 5: Boy?

2509
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: Do they have bigger problems?

2510
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 2: Uh? DJ and Indy rights in and this particular one,

2511
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,560
Speaker 2: because I've seen this a lot or version of this,

2512
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 2: Please ask Ballard why he thinks he deserves to keep

2513
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 2: his job after all of this. This was a question

2514
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,600
Speaker 2: that people asked him the last time you had the

2515
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 2: opportunity to speak to him in the off season. And

2516
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:18,760
Speaker 2: given the fact that a fourth overall pick is not

2517
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:20,760
Speaker 2: going to be starting at quarterback for you and some

2518
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 2: of the other guys specifically from that twenty twenty three

2519
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 2: draft that are just not around anymore, is that a

2520
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:26,280
Speaker 2: legit fair question?

2521
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 3: Again?

2522
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I asked that at the combine. I

2523
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,640
Speaker 1: don't know Mark, if we have that audio readily available

2524
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: or not. Maybe we got to do a little dig

2525
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,639
Speaker 1: in for that, but yeah, basically, his answer to why

2526
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 1: he felt like he was getting ninth year was the

2527
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:44,680
Speaker 1: window that him and Jim irsay, I guess agreed to

2528
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty three and that we're going to

2529
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: start over. And this gets back to a conversation we

2530
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 1: had earlier in the show. If I were Carly Ors Gordon,

2531
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 1: I would think to myself, Okay, in twenty twenty three,

2532
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 1: there was some sort of organizational agreement between my dad

2533
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard that we're going to create whatever a

2534
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 1: rebuild project, and it's going to take multiple years. We're

2535
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna hire a young head coach, first time head coach

2536
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:14,400
Speaker 1: in Shane Steik, and we're going to end up drafting

2537
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. That quarterback happened to then be the

2538
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: biggest project in NFL history for a first round pick,

2539
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 1: and the thought process was that's going to take some time. Well, now,

2540
01:53:24,479 --> 01:53:27,120
Speaker 1: as we sit here the day after roster cuts August

2541
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:31,759
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, you have a twenty twenty three draft class

2542
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:35,679
Speaker 1: that has Anthony Richardson looking like a bust, has Juju

2543
01:53:35,760 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 1: Brentz no longer on the football team. As you know,

2544
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 1: Blake Freeland, your fourth round pick, not looking like he

2545
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 1: has panned out. I mean, it's three of your top

2546
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 1: four picks and Again, it's one thing to miss on

2547
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:49,880
Speaker 1: a draft. It's another thing to miss on a draft

2548
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:52,640
Speaker 1: when you went four to twelve and one the year before. That,

2549
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,559
Speaker 1: to me is the truly damning part. James points out

2550
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 1: if you look at the twenty twenty two draft, there

2551
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: are actually a lot of nice hits in that second

2552
01:53:59,439 --> 01:53:59,960
Speaker 1: or third round.

2553
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:00,160
Speaker 3: Yea.

2554
01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 1: The problem with it is when you are so draft reliant,

2555
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:06,880
Speaker 1: you can't have fifty to fifty hit rates. When you

2556
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:10,240
Speaker 1: ignore free agency like he has for the better part

2557
01:54:10,280 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 1: of his ten year, then the draft rate has to

2558
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 1: be better than fifty to fifty. And when you have

2559
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: the truly bad seasons, you've got to come back and

2560
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: hit on that. And think about it lately with this regime.

2561
01:54:24,160 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: Twenty eighteen was right after a really bad season in

2562
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. They largely hit on that early on quent Nelson,

2563
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: Darius Lennard, Brayden Smith. Well, what happened twenty eighteen They

2564
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: won a playoff game, twenty twenty, they made the playoffs.

2565
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: Go back to twenty twelve with Ryan Grigson twenty eleven

2566
01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 1: bad year, twenty twelve boom. They hit on all those picks,

2567
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 1: and what happens playoff, playoff, playoff those first three years.

2568
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,720
Speaker 1: Right after that, well, twenty twenty two was another reset,

2569
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,440
Speaker 1: and four twelve and one with all those top five

2570
01:54:52,480 --> 01:54:54,760
Speaker 1: picks in each round. You didn't hit on that draft

2571
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: at all, especially early. And I think right now you're

2572
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 1: seeing the benefit sounds like the wrong word. You're seeing

2573
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 1: the ramifications. It's probably the better way to put it,

2574
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:06,920
Speaker 1: and probably the one right now and clearly the.

2575
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 2: One with the most consequences in all that draft. Let's

2576
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: say the rest of the draft went the same way

2577
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:13,800
Speaker 2: that it's gone now. But if you had a hit

2578
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 2: on number four and Anthony Richardson, you're still having a

2579
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:17,240
Speaker 2: different conversation.

2580
01:55:17,440 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: But you didn't, Yeah, it didn't. But again, if you

2581
01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 1: hit on round two, if you hit in round four,

2582
01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 1: do you have a little bit more outside Josh Towns

2583
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:26,200
Speaker 1: and Mark you said you found that audio. So this

2584
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 1: is in regards to why he's getting the ninth year?

2585
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:29,160
Speaker 3: Was that what it was?

2586
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 1: This is ballad back of the combin.

2587
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 2: Look, it's a fair question.

2588
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:33,680
Speaker 1: Without I mean, when did I look.

2589
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 11: I think you all know me well enough that I'm

2590
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 11: pretty honest, I'm pretty authentic. I I feel fortunate to

2591
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 11: get another chance at this We've had some I wouldn't

2592
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 11: say bad luck, but we've had some bad luck. But

2593
01:55:46,840 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 11: I don't that is what it is that happens across

2594
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 11: the league. I did think we had a really good

2595
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 11: start to this thing under some tough circumstances. And then

2596
01:55:57,200 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 11: at the end of you know, the twenty two season,

2597
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 11: when everything kind of went south, where we had you know,

2598
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:06,000
Speaker 11: traded for the quarterback, we had signed Stefan Gilmore. It

2599
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 11: just didn't sometimes, and we had made moves people, you know,

2600
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 11: we forget about those moves, but at the time we're

2601
01:56:11,240 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 11: really lauded. But didn't work. And not to those guys fault.

2602
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:16,920
Speaker 11: They're both great players, and but I didn't put enough

2603
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:18,040
Speaker 11: around them, you know.

2604
01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 2: And then when when we.

2605
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 11: When the organization decided to move forward, you know, with

2606
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:27,240
Speaker 11: and and move on from Frank, Jim and I had

2607
01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 11: along and start saying. I had a long talk and

2608
01:56:30,240 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 11: he said, Chris, look, i'm gonna give you. I believe

2609
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:33,600
Speaker 11: you can get this done. I'm gonna give you an

2610
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 11: opportunity to get it done. So when we hired Shane,

2611
01:56:37,720 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 11: you know, you're still maybe I probably should have looked

2612
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 11: at the situation a little different because we had, so

2613
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:45,080
Speaker 11: I thought we had a really good roster. Still at

2614
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:46,320
Speaker 11: the time, I didn't think it was as bad as

2615
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 11: what how we played in in twenty two with some magicians.

2616
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 11: And I think Jim, you know, he had enough patience

2617
01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:56,160
Speaker 11: to know, as I'm very honest, even when we have

2618
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:58,760
Speaker 11: our talks, like I don't I don't sit and try

2619
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:01,640
Speaker 11: to blame others and and throw everybody under the bus.

2620
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 11: Presented of what we thought was a pretty good plan

2621
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:06,600
Speaker 11: and we'll say it plays out this year.

2622
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 2: Well we're on the doorstep of this year, so we'll

2623
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 2: see what happens.

2624
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, along those lines, is he keeps talking about a plan,

2625
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 4: the plan keeps changing. It's changed a lot since that

2626
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:25,200
Speaker 4: moment at the Combine until now. And my follower would be, Okay,

2627
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 4: what is your long term plan for Anthony Richardson? And

2628
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 4: if you can't answer that question, I don't know where

2629
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 4: we go from there. But then two, why should anyone

2630
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,600
Speaker 4: trust that plan or even the plan with Daniel Jones

2631
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 4: when year after year it has been fruitless, it has

2632
01:57:41,760 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 4: not produced anything. So that is the question. That is

2633
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 4: the theme, I'll say the theme of the questions I

2634
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 4: want to get at with Chris ballor all.

2635
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 2: Right, well, we look forward to that a little bit

2636
01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 2: later on this afternoon. It'll be happening during Jake Query's show.

2637
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:58,280
Speaker 2: Anything tremendous happens, we'll let you know just as soon

2638
01:57:58,320 --> 01:57:59,800
Speaker 2: as it does. We'll keep an eye on whether or

2639
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:02,680
Speaker 2: not they sign another veteran cornerback later on today they're

2640
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 2: working somebody out. We'll keep an eye on any waiver

2641
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 2: claims that they might make, and we'll also track some

2642
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 2: of the just released cults and see if they end

2643
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,280
Speaker 2: up somewhere on another roster. A lot to get through today,

2644
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:15,040

Speaker 2: Quarter to ten in the morning.

2647
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:25,240
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, if you got responsibilities, you're up.

2648
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 2: What time would you normally get up you didn't have

2649
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 2: to wake up for this show? What time would you

2650
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 2: roll out of the wreck? I still get up about

2651
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,280

2652
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:39,680
Speaker 2: am at this point in life like even when I

2653
