1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Best of the Fan Morning Show 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: on ninety three five and one oh seven five the Fan, 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Good Morning, and. 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: Walk come into the Fan Morning Show. And I'm just curious, guys, 5 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: now that we're here on Thursday and the Colts have 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: had their walk through yesterday and now they have a 7 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: brand new kicker, and who knows what's going to happen 8 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 2: against Jacksonville on Sunday, But are we have we taken 9 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: a collective breath? And we feel like maybe the Colts 10 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: are going to take a collective breath and they can 11 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: just go out and start to turn the clock back 12 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: to what they did the first half of the season 13 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: and maybe put Jacksonville back in its place. And I 14 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: asked that question because I'm listening to John's show yesterday 15 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: and he's got one of the reporters on for the 16 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars who basically said he still doesn't believe in 17 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: that football team, that they got a lot of issues still. 18 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: So maybe they got their own issues going on and 19 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: the Colts can use that to go in there and 20 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 2: break this ten year losing streak. Kevin, you feel any 21 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: better today than you did twenty four hours ago or. 22 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: No, Jackobs have had their issues every year going into 23 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 3: this game, and they seem to be just fine. 24 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not really sold on Jacksonville at eight and four. 25 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 4: You know, I think I brought up earlier in the week. 26 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 4: You know, last week, for example, was Trevor Lawrence's first 27 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 4: game all season with a passer rating over one hundred, 28 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 4: and just to put that into context, Daniel Jones has 29 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 4: nine such games this year now. Having said that, to 30 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 4: Mark's point, Trevor Lawrence has towards the Colts in the 31 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: last three years. So I get that everyone and say, oh, well, hey, 32 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 4: that's just the heck's of playing down there. Well, I 33 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 4: mean this is Louisna Rumo now and not Gus Bradley, 34 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 4: So you would hope that you would see some improvements 35 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 4: down there. You know, one thing on paper that I 36 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 4: think will be interesting to keep an eye on for Sunday, 37 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: and you know, weather, push the weather to the side 38 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 4: for a second, James. If you look at it, Jacksonville 39 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 4: is a very good run defense team. Their questions are 40 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 4: more with their pass defense. Well right now with the 41 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: Colts offensively, I know Jonathan Taylor hasn't been great by 42 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: any means, here recently, but you'd probably feel more comfortable 43 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 4: handed it to twenty eight than necessarily having Daniel Jones 44 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 4: drop back thirty five times, or however you want to, 45 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: you know, put that out there. But again, on paper, 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: it seems like Jacksonville's a little bit more susceptible through 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: the air. And we should probably point out, you know, 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: the Colt's injury list isn't clean by any means, of course, 49 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: but Jacksonville had some notable dudes on their injury report yesterday. 50 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 4: Starting left tackle Walker Little is in concussion protocol, they're 51 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 4: leading white out, Parker Washington did not practice yesterday, Trayvon Walker, 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 4: the first overall pick from a few years ago, did 53 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 4: not practice, and their top snap guy defensively, they're starting safety. 54 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 4: So I mean those are four notable and then I get it. 55 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: The Cults will likely be without Buckner and sauce Gardner, 56 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: so Jacksonville also pretty banged up. 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 2: Well, the Colts are just going to try to regroup. 58 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: And you said you saw a sauce Gardner at least 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: walking and not with a huge noticeable limp in the 60 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: locker room yesterday. He's obviously not going to play this week. 61 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: Do we have any other injury concerns or update. Still 62 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: nowhere near the Forest Buckner right. 63 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: Well, the Forest can't come back right until next week, 64 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 5: so that is the earliest he could come back with Sauce. Yeah, 65 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 5: in the locker room seemed to be pretty good spirits. 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 5: But I know you wanted to give an update on 67 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson Kevin that you tease earlier in the show. 68 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, so there were a couple, you know, different questions 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: about Richardson, and you know, James, you know this full well. 70 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 4: In Shane Stike and Lingo. I actually think there was 71 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 4: some updates on Richardson, and you know, when you think 72 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 4: about the three injured guys right now, we talk about 73 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: the most Sauce Gardner to Forest Buckner, Anthony Richardson. There 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 4: have been not definite, but there have been mentions of 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: DeForest Buckner playing again this season, Sauce Gardner playing again 76 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: here in the next couple of weeks. We haven't got 77 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 4: there with Anthony Richardson yet, No, And so basically on 78 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: the Richardson front, he is back in the building. I 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: believe Sunday was the first time we've seen him on 80 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 4: the sidelines since the injury started. 81 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 5: I believe Stephen Holder report he actually traveled. I want 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: to say to Kansas City. 83 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: Oh he did. I thought it was just Buckner. Yeah, 84 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: that that did travel. So again, he is starting to 85 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 4: be back present, I guess is probably the best way 86 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: to put it. And Shane Sacking did say he's doing 87 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 4: some weight room stuff. But again I stand by nothing eminent. 88 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: You know, I asked Steven Holder yesterday when we had 89 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 4: him on, you know, better chance to play in December, 90 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: Sauce Gardner or Anthony Richardson, And I think the bet 91 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 4: there would be Sauce Gardner. So you know, I've gotten 92 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: a lot of the Richardson questions lately. James, I'm sure 93 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: you have as well. But I would to summarize it all, 94 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: I'd say it's still very much up in the air 95 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: if he's going to play again this season. Having said that, 96 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 4: he is at least back in the building and starting 97 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: to do some stuff. But as Shane Steck can point 98 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 4: it out, you know, clearance means full vision in the eye. 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: That's not just hey man, your ankle is a little 100 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 4: bit twisted, go ahead and tape it up and play 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: on it. I mean, this is a little bit of 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: a different injury situation, and to be fair to you, 103 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 4: you actually were correct. He did not go to the 104 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: Kansas City game. That was the Forrest Buckner. 105 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 5: But according to even hold Her, the hope is that 106 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 5: Richardson can attend some upcoming road games, perhaps this week. 107 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 5: And he was a Florida guy, Florida native, so maybe 108 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 5: he'll be able to work from that area. 109 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 6: Right. 110 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's unfortunately he never really got a chance 111 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 5: to play down there. 112 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 4: Now I think about it, Anthony Richardson has not lost 113 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 4: to Jacksonville on the road. Well, eight Colts quarterbacks have 114 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 4: lost to the Jags in this streak, not Anthony Richardson. 115 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 5: Lord, I don't know. I couldn't name all eight. I'd 116 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 5: probably give you four or five. 117 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: Oh, you can name all eight. 118 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 5: I don't name all eight, No, I really could. 119 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: We can come up between the. 120 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 4: Two play the game. 121 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: Andrew Luck obviously, right, that's one Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers, 122 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, Joe Flacco, gardnermanship to Kobe Brissett. 123 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 5: I mean is that I think. 124 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: I gotta go back to my notes. But you guys 125 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 4: are you guys are on a roll? 126 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 7: Guy? 127 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: Get six of the eight there? 128 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 8: Yeah? 129 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 5: I think that's six of the eight. Boy, I gotta 130 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 5: think of Scott told Zine starting down there at one point, 131 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: I gotta go back. I'm trying to think you guys 132 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 5: are missing Matt Ryan. 133 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: I do remember that seven. You guys are missing one, 134 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: all right? 135 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 5: So right off, who we have? 136 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: You got Wentz, Luck, Rivers, Flacco, Minshew Bersett, and we've 137 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 4: got Matt Ryan, Hasselbeck, Matt Hasselbeck, James. We talked about 138 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 4: this in the media room yesterday. I'll never forget this 139 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: game when this and by the way, I have a 140 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 4: dose of optimism here that I will get to okay. 141 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: But to start the streak twenty fifteen, the Colts had 142 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 4: won sixteen straight AFC South games. I think that's one 143 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 4: of the more remarkable stats that is crazy, frankly in 144 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 4: the NFL history, that the Colts had won sixteen straight 145 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: divisional games going into a Jacksonville game late season twenty fifteen, 146 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 4: it was Matt Hasselbeck under center. This is when the 147 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: Andrew Luck shoulder issues started. The Cults were leading near 148 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: halftime of that game. I vaguely remember some sort of 149 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 4: strip sack situation and the Cults so losing their lead 150 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 4: in Jacksonville scoring. I want to say it was like 151 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: forty unanswered the rest of the game. The Colts lost 152 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: fifty one to sixteen back in that twenty fifteen season 153 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 4: down there. That ended the course of the sixteen game 154 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: AFC South streak, and it has started this streak now, 155 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: which is ten years now, the dose of optimism which 156 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: we need, this streak of colts Hell again. The Colts 157 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 4: have a better chance to win in Alcatraz than they 158 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: do in Jacksonville. Started Week fourteen of the twenty fifteen season. 159 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: What Sunday, Oh, it's week fourteen of the twenty twenty 160 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: five season. 161 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: So ten years ago to the exact week it started, 162 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 4: it shall end. 163 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 6: So there's a chance. 164 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: How about that full circle. 165 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: That's optimism, folks. That's not a curse. That's not drinking 166 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: glass half empty. That's saying the cults are going to 167 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: go down there and do exactly what they did week 168 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 4: one and the streak jumping the pool afterwards. Does a 169 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: pool still exist down there in that stadium? 170 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 2: I think it rains it's going to be a pool. 171 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: Uh minus one and a half. Still the line the 172 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: Cults still favored in this one, So the bookmakers still 173 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: like the Colts. 174 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: James, would you post up Blake groupie Colts kicker? Would 175 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: you go Mouse in the house? Would you go Patrick Bevner. 176 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: Normally I would joke about this and say, oh, absolutely not. 177 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 5: But yes, he's he's a very small guy. You can 178 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 5: get lost with you. 179 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 4: Seven six for Blake groupie suitcase still in front of 180 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 4: the locker. I believe he said he's been in three 181 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 4: hotel rooms. 182 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 5: So I like to ride the scale on that too. 183 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 5: For one fifty six, I'm dead serious on you think 184 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 5: soaking wet? Yeah, I think that's one of those things 185 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 5: where you know, we all had it in high school. 186 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: Our coach gives us an extra inch ten to fifteen 187 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: pounds on the roster because yeah, that's a small dude, 188 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 5: but there I have some high expectations for him. It's 189 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: really just stabilized. They're kicking you in and he certainly 190 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 5: comes with his Wartz missed eight of twenty six kicks 191 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: this year, not a good number. Has missed two I 192 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 5: believe within the thirty to thirty nine range. I want 193 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 5: to say maybe three between the forty and forty nine range. 194 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 5: So that is something to note going forward. But I 195 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 5: think and you talked about this Kevin yesterday when we're 196 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 5: in the media room, you had to do something. From 197 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 5: an optic standpoint, a guy can't keep missing point after 198 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 5: attempts and you keep him around, especially because I don't 199 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 5: know if it's just me, but from a psychological standpoint, 200 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 5: I wonder how much that weighs on a team when 201 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 5: you feel like you can't even make the chip shots 202 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: the gimmes. I think it's more you can forgive a 203 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: player more, even as a teammate, if he misses a 204 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 5: field goal, versus missing like, dude, we just went all 205 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 5: the way down here to score, and you just killed 206 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 5: our entire vibe because you can't make the easiest kick 207 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: you'll ever have. 208 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, and optically for sure, but then again, numerically on Sunday, 209 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 4: it obviously impacted you from having to get a touchdown 210 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: late in the game, Yes, whereas I would agree you 211 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 4: could have needed tangible for sure. And you know, if 212 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 4: you look at the rest of these games, and Jeff, 213 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: you just pointed out the Colts are what a one 214 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 4: point favorite coming up on Sunday. 215 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: And a half. Don't forget the half. 216 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 4: One and a half, I mean they are. I was 217 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: doing some like look aheads at the rest of the season. 218 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: I want to say, it's like a three point spread underdog. 219 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: The next two weeks after this they played Jacksonville again 220 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 4: in week seventeen. They're a one and a half point 221 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 4: favorite for that one. The Houston game currently to end 222 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 4: the season, they're like a four point underdog. I mean 223 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: you were talking one, two, three, four point spreads. I mean, 224 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: this is a far cry from earlier in the year 225 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: where you were, you know, touchdown touchdown plus favorites in 226 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 4: several of these games. I bring up all that to 227 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 4: say kicking matters. I mean, hell, last year you saw 228 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 4: the Jags rookie kicker, you know, bang one home from 229 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 4: long distance for the win against you, and Cam Little's 230 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 4: got a hell of the legs. So you know again, 231 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 4: I know that talking about kickers can make you want 232 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 4: to just stab your eyes out, but it matters, and 233 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 4: the cold situation right now is carry as it is. 234 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 4: It matters. 235 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: How interesting I said this, yesterhon, But how interesting would 236 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: be if it comes down to a Blake Groupie field 237 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 3: goal one point difference to end the streak. 238 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: And like Mark Dyton putting his daughters on his shoulders 239 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: at Disney World Gromer Stewart putting Blake Groupy on his 240 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: shoulders and just carrying him back to Indianapolis. 241 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: I'm just saying the pressure that he would feel and 242 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: maybe the organization. I feel like we made a change 243 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: of kicker, and now this guy could end the streak 244 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: or extend it for another year. 245 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 4: Would you sign up right now for a Blake Groupie 246 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: forty six yard game winner to beat Jacksonville by one 247 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: on Sunday? If I presented that paper in front of 248 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: you and said this could be the end result one 249 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: second on the clock, Roads Sanchez Groupie forty six yards 250 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: for the win, would you sign up for? 251 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: The question is would you rather have that or Michael 252 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: Badgeley at a forty six yard attempt? 253 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 5: He ain't on the team, so no no from James 254 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 5: Boyd has made a. 255 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 2: Very frobim is if Michael Badsley, ye, would. 256 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 4: You sign up for that? Would you sign up for that? 257 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: I would because the problem with Michael Badgley was the 258 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: kicker is that it would be a four point deficit 259 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: at that point, not a not a one point. 260 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: They badly kicked a game winner in Germany, right, that's true. 261 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: I'm still more worried about Trevor Lawrence. You remember what 262 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: he did last year in his one appearance against the Colts. 263 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 4: Well, he slicing dice. 264 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 2: In the last three years, twenty eight of thirty four 265 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: for three hundred and seventy one yards, two touchdowns. You'd 266 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: throw one pick. 267 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 5: You know, they traded for Jacobe Myers from the Las 268 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 5: Vegas Raiders. He's had two touchdowns, one in each of 269 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 5: the last two weeks. He's been a pretty good player 270 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 5: for him. So I wonder if that is the matchup 271 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 5: that Javerius Ward would draw. 272 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess to update everybody on where Jacksonville 273 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: was at White out Lies. Travis Hunter out for the 274 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 4: year again, Parker Washington their top pass catcher, actually right 275 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 4: now he is injured. He did not practice yesterday. You 276 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 4: know the guy that I think strikes more fear and 277 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: a Colts fans based off last year was Brian Thomas Junior. Yeah, 278 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 4: he's regressed a lot, right, but as a rookie, I 279 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: mean he torched the Colts. 280 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 5: He had a great season. 281 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 4: Remember that infamous play of Dallas Flowers trying to jump 282 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: and tackle him on that d. 283 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 5: I believe that was his last game for the Colts too. 284 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, and that deep catch last year in the game 285 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 4: down there. So you know, from a I don't know, 286 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: a dynamic standpoint, you feel like Thomas Junior would have 287 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 4: a little bit more of that ability. But as you 288 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 4: point out very accurately, he really hasn't done much and 289 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 4: I have him on my big fantasy team and I'm frustrated. 290 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 5: You'm looking at the last two weeks. Jacobe Myers had 291 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 5: six catches for ninety yards against the Titans in a touchdown, 292 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 5: and then in an overtime win against the Cardinals he 293 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 5: had four catches fifty yards and a touchdown. So again, 294 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 5: he's a guy who can make some plays and veteran 295 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 5: receiver as somebody who's had a pretty decent career so far, 296 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 5: I would say. 297 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 2: We worried about their running game at all. It's been 298 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: it's been okay. 299 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, trap CTNS had a nice and you're the guy 300 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 4: that can skewed his lawrence. I mean, he can definitely 301 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 4: make some plays with his legs, So yeah, I think 302 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: you keep an eye out for that. What do you think, 303 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: Darreen have reades feeling on this Thursday morning optimism that 304 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 4: the visiting team or the home team felt so good 305 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: about I you either they storm the floor. 306 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 5: I don't know if I can go optimism because that's 307 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 5: a bad loss and it really kind of unraveled and 308 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 5: there in the second half. 309 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: For you, should we have rules on the court storm, 310 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 4: you have to be ranked above ius ranked what twenty two? 311 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: You said you like courtstorm anytime? 312 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean I know I'm in the minority, 313 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 4: and all the people that talk about this. 314 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: Oh, it is longer than the moment. Thing is when 315 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: like you have the inevitable idiot fan that gets in 316 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 5: the face of the opposing place, you. 317 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: Gotta have security on point. 318 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, And if you're just rushing, like if you're a 319 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 5: reasonable person, you're rushing the court, you genuinely actually enjoy 320 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: the moment with your friends and you know, take some 321 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 5: pictures or laugh or dance whatever to that's cool. Yeah, 322 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 5: But I just don't like it when you see that 323 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 5: one person who probably had no athletic ability in an 324 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 5: entire life run up to the best player on the 325 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 5: opposing team and say you stink or something like that. 326 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 5: You're just antagonizing with them. At that point. 327 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 4: It seems like a shot at the lack of athleticism 328 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 4: from some people in the student section. 329 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate that. I'm not gonna lie. I always 330 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 5: think about that an athlete. No, Illinois was garbage when 331 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 5: I was in school. That was my senior year, I 332 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 5: believe was Brad Underwood's first season as head coach. So 333 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 5: now that they're actually good again, in credit tend for 334 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 5: rebuilding the program. But yeah, I was there for like 335 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 5: the start of all of that. 336 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: You ever storm the court, Kevin, Oh, I'm. 337 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: Trying to think out of Crean. My first three years 338 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: are Creane six, nine, and twelve with the three wins.

Next Saturday? 353 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 5: AB would know that one big game though. Nevertheless, I 354 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 5: do think. 355 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: I guess at the heisman I saw Dick Vital and 356 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: Charles Barkley on the call for that. 357 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 5: I did say, I'm looking forward to it because it 358 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 5: can be. 359 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 8: Great. 360 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 5: It can also be a lot. I don't know what 361 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 5: to expect, but I do love if. I feel like, 362 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 5: if you know those two guys going into it, you 363 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 5: should have tailored expectations and just have fun with it 364 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 5: and to. 365 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 4: Get sentimental for a moment here. I did see. I 366 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 4: believe that Vital will then do one of the playing 367 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 4: games for the NCAA tournament. 368 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 5: And he's the perfect guy for that. 369 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 4: It was when I was reading it they said he's 370 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 4: never called an NCAA tournament game. 371 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: That'll be the first. 372 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 4: And so this is kind of a you know, a nod, 373 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 4: a nod to obviously ESPN guy, you know, CBS family 374 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: of networks being the NCAA tournament turner as well. 375 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: So I think that's cool. It's very cool. One thing 376 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: I need to see from any other of those a 377 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: little more effort on the boards. At forty to twenty five, 378 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: they were out rebounded on the road by Minnesota forty 379 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: to twenty five. 380 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 4: I do like the Florida transfer Alexis, but I do 381 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 4: think there is a little bit of a blueprint of like, hey, 382 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: if we can try and suffocate Tucker Devreez and Lamar 383 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 4: Wilkerson as much as we can around the perimeter, let's 384 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 4: just let Indiana try to play one on one in 385 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 4: the post. And yeah, I thought Minnesota, especially that first half, 386 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 4: the second chance points were a really high number there. 387 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 4: So bad, bad loss. You can't play the old road 388 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: Big Ten card. But you know you get a great 389 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 4: opportunity Saturday to help the resume, great opportunity next Saturday 390 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 4: at Kentucky to help the resume. I think Louisville loss 391 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 4: last night, did they. 392 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: Not did not see? I'll go check. 393 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 4: I might have been their first loss. 394 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: You're checking that though. I've been seeing a lot of people, 395 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: even national outlets, pick up the fact that Don Fisher 396 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: is going to get the chance to do the double 397 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: dip on Saturday, to get the Louisville Indiana game at 398 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: the Fieldhouse in the afternoon, then go over to the 399 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: Big Ten championship game. I also happen to see the 400 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 2: annual ranking of local broadcast teams for college football was 401 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: put out an Awful Announcing Fish and Bucker number three 402 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: overall in the whole country. How about that? 403 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 4: Well, I didn't know that they did radio team rankings. 404 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, every year, Awful Announcing does that. And they have 405 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: a bunch of. 406 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 4: People they can they listen to all that. 407 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 2: It's it's voted on by people all over the country. 408 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 2: But they get grades from their their local listening fans, 409 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: and some of those broadcast teams get really low grades 410 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: from their fan base. But people love Fish and Buck. 411 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: Hell they should be number one. 412 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, they, I think in a lot of people's hearts 413 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 2: are number one. 414 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 4: The state's crew.

We're uh, you know, 512 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 6: like you said, I'm pleased with the development we're making. 513 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 6: I still think we've got a long long way to go. 514 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 6: And and but I think every team's like that, every 515 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 6: coach is like that. And you know, we've got to 516 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 6: act a stretch coming up here starting Saturday with boys 517 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: stayed a really really good team and you are our 518 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 6: thing is as we tell our guys, we just going 519 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 6: to be better today than we were yesterday. And you 520 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 6: know so far of this group is a tremendous work ethic, 521 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 6: and you know, we had a little bit of a 522 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 6: quick prep for Saturday's game. They haven't played for probably 523 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 6: a week and a half since Maui, and you know, 524 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 6: we just got to keep coaching, teaching and doing the 525 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 6: best we can to get our guys the best they 526 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 6: can be to play together. And I think, you know, 527 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 6: we're starting to cut down on more of our mental mistakes. 528 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 6: I'm never going to be completely satisfied with that, but 529 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 6: I don't know. We're competing and that's a good thing. 530 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 5: Sad when you look at Finley Bizjack and I was 531 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: actually watching some of his highlights the other day, how 532 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 5: long did it take you to be okay? With that 533 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 5: jump skip pass he does. It's kind of like a 534 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 5: wrap around that head. It's hard to describe, but it 535 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 5: looks fancy and you know it's pretty effective. But is 536 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 5: there a part of you it's like, hold on, relax, 537 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 5: just be basic. 538 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 6: Well, if you remember, we finally got Fenn to stop 539 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 6: jumping on the bait or jumping out of bounds and 540 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 6: throwing it to the other team his first year and 541 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 6: a half here, And so as long as he's completing 542 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 6: that pass that you're talking about. I'm perfectly fine with it. 543 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 6: But I'll say this talking he's a little bit of 544 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 6: a risk, and I like that. I like guys that 545 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 6: I don't want a whole team full of him, that's 546 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 6: for sure, but I think that, you know, a lot 547 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 6: of the things he does is calculated. But you know, 548 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 6: against Easter Michigan, and we talked about it with him, 549 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 6: he had two turners where he left his feet and 550 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 6: turned it over and Ben wants to these are perfections. 551 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 6: He wants to play perfect every time. And you know, 552 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 6: he's a very very coachable kid. But I like the 553 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 6: way that he's attacking right now on offense and defense. 554 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 6: He's playing great defense. 555 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 5: Absolutely, Yeah, He's definitely someone I just feel like you 556 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 5: want to probably coach that down a little bit instid 557 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 5: of coach it up as far as the aggressiveness and 558 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 5: the creativity, and then looking at his overall numbers, what 559 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 5: do you think has led to him being not only 560 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 5: a better scorer this year probably more opportunity granted, but 561 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 5: also the efficiency because he's not you know, averaging nineteen 562 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 5: on twenty two shots. I mean, he's been a very 563 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 5: efficient player. This year. 564 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 6: Well, you know, he can really really shoot the ball. 565 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 6: And he's still in terms of how hardy works on 566 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 6: his game. And and then I said, I think last 567 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 6: week things were starting to slow down for him a 568 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 6: little bit, just in terms of reading defenses and reading 569 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 6: situations and and that that's the development you hope all 570 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 6: your players eventually make. And but no, he is. He's 571 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 6: playing very efficiently right now and us percentages are high, 572 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 6: and we we need that with him right now. 573 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 4: I started the year for the Butler Bulldogs stad Motta 574 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 4: with this year on the Payless Slickers hotline, as he said, 575 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 4: Boise State coming up on Saturday, Red Panda in the 576 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 4: building at Hinklefield House Saturday. 577 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 6: After you guys, I tell you guys a great story. Yes, 578 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 6: when when I was retired, like I was going to 579 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 6: Butler games, I never knew that they did halftime shows. 580 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 6: I never knew that they did stuff at timeouts, like 581 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 6: putting a golf ball or you know, run around a 582 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 6: baseball bat and trying to make a layup. And I 583 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 6: didn't know that. I was always busy. And so this 584 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 6: lady comes out on a unicycle or whatever it's called, 585 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 6: and I'm like, what is going on, and my wife says, watch, 586 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 6: she's going to throw these bulls up and she never drops. 587 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 6: I've seen this for years, and it was the first 588 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 6: time ever. I guess she had dropped them and she 589 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 6: dropped to them or something. And my friends and I 590 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 6: still laugh about it because I'd never seen it before. That. 591 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 6: That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, though, 592 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: that lady doing that. 593 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 4: She's a top five athlete of our generation. 594 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 6: Coach, Oh, without a doubt, without a doubt. I mean, 595 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 6: you think about the coordination, you have to have, the concentration. 596 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 6: I mean, that's big time. 597 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 4: The bright lights of Hinkle get to everybody here and 598 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 4: you're hoping it gets to the road team coming on 599 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: on Saturday. I want to go back to Tuesday Night. Mark, 600 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 4: our great producer, played a little Western music for you 601 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 4: on the lead in that got a little got a 602 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: little Western chippiness on Tuesday Night? Did it not? 603 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 6: It really did? It really did. In fact, I my 604 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 6: daughter and I were talking after a game, we're going 605 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 6: to get a player rejected every game at the crowd going. 606 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 6: Our crowd got into that game after that thing happened, 607 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 6: and uh no, that was a kind of electrified Hinkle, 608 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 6: which hopefully he'll continue. And uh, but that was that 609 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 6: was a rough physical uh you know, loose balls scrapping 610 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 6: and Eastern Michigan was playing really hard as well. 611 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 4: Any update on the ankle, Andrew Jalen Jackson, No. 612 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: We're still uh waiting and he's out, he's still in 613 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 6: the boot and and uh we just we we don't 614 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 6: know yet. You know, hopefully we're going to know something here, 615 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 6: but he has he has not practiced, so you know, 616 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 6: we definitely definitely miss him. There's no question about that. 617 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: I like that. Get back to that that chippiness. The 618 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: other night there was a quote in the Indie Star 619 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: from Findley Bisjack who said, we had a media timeout 620 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: and I told everyone this is a bar fight. 621 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 8: Do you remember that moment. 622 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 6: I don't think I was in there yet. Uh, but 623 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 6: I like that. I like that, And uh it's uh 624 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 6: uh kind of what it turned into, just with the physicality, 625 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 6: there's no question about it. 626 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: So what do we need to get done here as 627 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: a team between now and really the full on start 628 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 2: of conference playing a couple of weeks, Like, what do 629 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 2: you want to get accomplished here? 630 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 6: Well? I want to continue to develop our offense and 631 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 6: and just continue to get our flow better. And I 632 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 6: think we got to get the ball moving quicker, and 633 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 6: we got to cut harder. I think, you know, defensively, 634 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 6: continuing to know the coverages that we're in and which 635 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 6: are ever changing. It depends on who we have in 636 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 6: the game, who they have in the game, and just 637 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 6: just alleviating, you know, some of the mental mistakes and 638 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 6: which is you know, it's playing games, it's it's teaching, 639 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 6: coaching and film in a long, long film session yesterday, 640 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 6: and you know, just just trying to continue to play 641 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 6: better basketball, sound er basketball and doing all the fundamental things. 642 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 6: And you know, I tell you, guys are day and 643 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 6: we can't take a step forward take two steps backwards. 644 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 6: We got to we got to keep moving forward. And 645 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 6: then these guys have been good with that. 646 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 5: One more from me, Stink Robinson. I remember watching him 647 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 5: at Lawrence North throughout the years, a very talented player. 648 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 5: How have you seen him just develop and grow more 649 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 5: and more when it comes to the college game. 650 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 6: You know, it's amazing because you know, we're jaling out 651 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 6: this summer and we've talked to other staff. He's gotten 652 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 6: a lot of reps and now you know, he's moved 653 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 6: into the starting lineup and he's probably playing more than 654 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 6: most freshmen have the opportunity to. And Xavier's a guy 655 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 6: that he wants to please, he wants to do things, 656 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 6: and I just see his development. He just continues to grow. 657 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 6: And you know, one of the things that we got 658 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 6: to him do is is he leads us in files 659 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 6: right now and he's picking up a couple of files 660 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 6: a game that he probably doesn't need to. But I 661 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 6: think you're just going to continue to see him get 662 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 6: better and better and better. 663 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 2: Coach is always thanks for joining us during the course 664 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: of the week.

That second quarter in particular, 678 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: what do you think was the issue was kind of 679 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 5: letting the rope go there? 680 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, first of all, I mean that's what I love 681 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 7: so much about the nbas On any given night, you 682 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 7: never know who's going to get go off. I mean, 683 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 7: he was in the zone of all zones, knocking down 684 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 7: ten of eleven three pointers. 685 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 8: So that was a lot of fun. 686 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 7: Now in terms of these runs, yeah, it continues to 687 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 7: be a repetitive issue for this Pacers team. For me, 688 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 7: some of the things that stood out was just not 689 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 7: getting back on defense, Like how many times are you 690 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 7: going to get let Yokic grab a rebound after a 691 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 7: make and throw it eighty feet down the court and 692 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 7: potentially get a layup? Like it was those little things. 693 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 7: I know that there was a little zone action that 694 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 7: the Pacers went against and such, But more than anything, 695 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 7: I think Jokich was just it didn't even look like 696 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 7: he tries out there. That's what's so almost insulting about 697 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 7: the way in which he plays, right, I think he's 698 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 7: kind of mastered what Lebron did so well and does 699 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 7: so well if he gives the amount of energy that's 700 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 7: needed for that situation and so he realizes, Hey, tonight, 701 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 7: it's Jamal Murray's night, and what a combination you have. 702 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 5: And when you think about it. 703 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 7: They were without Aaron Gordon, who would have a favorable 704 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 7: matchup and all that. So the reality is they won 705 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 7: a couple games with then faced back to back playoff 706 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 7: opponents and didn't fair very well. 707 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 4: Scott, I wanted to get more into boots on the ground. 708 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 4: You went up to Noblesville and checked out Victor Aldipo 709 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: and I could have sworn I saw him court side 710 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 4: for the Pacers Bulls game over the weekend there, but 711 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 4: Victor Aldiepo trying to make a comeback currently g leaguing 712 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 4: it up. What did you think of Victor and his 713 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 4: potential NBA return? 714 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, so he was courtside, was sitting kind of near 715 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 7: the visitors bench row one right there for that PACER's 716 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 7: Bulls game and really felt the love from Pacer fans. 717 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 7: He was saying and still believes and feels like this 718 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 7: as his second home. He acknowledges some of the mistakes 719 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 7: that he's made in the past and decisions he's made. 720 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 7: But first of all, from that standpoint, KB, one of 721 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 7: the big things he was emphasizing to me postgame was 722 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,479 Speaker 7: I'm a change man. A lot of things you know, 723 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 7: didn't go my way and I've had to figure it 724 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 7: out and work around them and judge me on who 725 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 7: I am today is what he would say. And on 726 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 7: the court he's a guy that would show his old self. 727 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 6: Several different instances. There's one player that sticks. 728 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: Out to me. 729 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 7: He took the ball out, threw it in, got it 730 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 7: right back and dribbled right into it, dribble pull up 731 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 7: fifteen feet out and nailed the jumper right. But the 732 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 7: main thing right now he's dealing with is getting himself 733 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 7: back up to shape back into condition. So he's playing 734 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 7: four and five minute birth twenty minutes or so maybe 735 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 7: per game. 736 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 8: Is in this for the long haul, with the hope 737 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 8: that maybe come the. 738 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 7: End of this year twenty twenty five or maybe trade deadline, 739 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 7: that he'll get some looks for the NBA as he 740 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 7: tries to a test comeback. Because he had that torn 741 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 7: quad tenon that everyone here remembers, which surgery did not 742 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 7: go well, and he had the same injury like a 743 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 7: year later, and then he dealt with a petella and 744 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 7: attending issue on the other leg, which kept him out 745 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 7: of basketball for two years as he kind of got 746 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 7: all of those things straightened out. 747 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if you asked this directly somebody, I'm 748 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: asking you to offer an opinion on it, but you know, 749 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 4: you kind of alluded to him. I think maybe some 750 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 4: regret and his exit here or how it ended. Does he, 751 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 4: you know, have that regret And if he could go 752 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 4: back and hindsight it up, what do you think that 753 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 4: would be. 754 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, it wasn't specific to one process or how he 755 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 7: handled any I think the number one thing, and now 756 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 7: this is me speculating, is the people he had around him, 757 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 7: and that was well, that's what doomed his situation. Is 758 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 7: he had a lot of yes men, a lot of 759 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 7: people that he can't trust around him. I mean, I 760 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 7: don't know if it's still active, but at one time 761 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 7: he was suing his manager for stealing money from him 762 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 7: and to open a nightclub up in New York City, 763 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 7: for example. And so I think he got a little. 764 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 6: Too his ego got a little bit too. 765 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 7: Big, and then he started listening to the wrong people 766 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 7: and that didn't go over well. But he did not 767 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 7: specifically get into this and that, and you know, moving 768 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 7: on from here and those sorts of things. But yeah, 769 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,479 Speaker 7: all have a lot more in a story to come. 770 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 7: But it was a very reflective conversation I thought from 771 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 7: him and where he's at today, and people may not 772 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 7: know he's a father now and he's as you would know. 773 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 7: He's talked about how much impact that has had on 774 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 7: him over the last three years as well. 775 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: Scott Agnes joining us on the Paylistickers hotline right now 776 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 2: covers all things that Indiana Pacers and the Fever as well. 777 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: But while we're talking about Victor Oladepot, what's your sense 778 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 2: can he physically become a rotational player again in the NBA? 779 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 6: That'll be tough. 780 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 7: I think, Jeff I do just from the physical limitations 781 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 7: more than anything. I view him right now as could 782 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 7: potentially be kind of in that James Johnson role with 783 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 7: more ability to play. He still can give you some 784 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 7: good minutes. He still knows the game very well, he 785 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 7: can still knock down some shots, but I just don't 786 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 7: know if his body can go through there and give 787 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 7: you twenty minutes per game at that level, which is 788 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 7: at a whole for a level obviously than the G League. 789 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 7: So I think that's what he's trying to figure out 790 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 7: and show to the NBA teams right now in the 791 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 7: next couple of weeks that the G League showcase that 792 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 7: not only can he play some, but he's also now 793 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 7: a willing teammate. He's willing to do whatever it takes 794 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 7: to be on an NBA roster, and he's trying to 795 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 7: show that right now. 796 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 5: Scott shifting the energy back to the current Pacers, how 797 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 5: would you assess Jarris Walker over the last month or so? 798 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 7: Inconsistent, incomplete, sometimes overthinking. I think that's kind of the 799 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 7: great issue that I think he deals with paf Gal 800 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 7: Siakam talked about it after a game I want to say, 801 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 7: a week or two ago. And it goes for the 802 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 7: most of the roster. Right when guys are putting these 803 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 7: new spots where so much is demanded of them, do 804 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 7: they go outside themselves or do they kind of rise 805 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 7: to the occasion. 806 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 8: And Jerris leaves a. 807 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 7: Lot on that bone that we know is there, James, 808 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 7: but we were ready to see it elevate. Right he'll 809 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 7: be in the starting lineup and then and then not. 810 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 6: This is a group that has. 811 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 7: Had a lot of inconsistencies with that lineup and with rotations, 812 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 7: and maybe he's a guy like me and doesn't like 813 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 7: change very often, or he doesn't adapt very well to it. 814 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 5: But no, he's one of those players. 815 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 7: I agree James that you know there's a lot more there, 816 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 7: you just haven't seen it nearly enough. 817 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 4: Scott Agnes from field House Files, where you can find 818 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 4: his work. Scott will shift gears again. We'll go a 819 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 4: little fever. WNBA. We know Caitlin Clark and Aleiah Boston 820 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 4: with TMOSA coming up. I believe that's next week with 821 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 4: their team camp. But also we saw news from a 822 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 4: league standpoint. Is it an extension in the negotiating window 823 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 4: for the new CBA? Is that what I saw? 824 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, So what the WNBA and the players associations decided 825 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 7: to do was extend the current collective bargaining agreement. So 826 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 7: what was supposed to originally fire at the end of October, 827 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 7: Remember they renewed for another year. Well now they've extended 828 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 7: it even longer through January ninth, mostly so that I 829 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 7: would I believe it's so a lot of these players 830 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 7: can still use team facilities. That's why the players would 831 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 7: want this, right, Like Caitlin and others are at the 832 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 7: facility often getting workouts using the basketball court. Well, if 833 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 7: you're locked out, I can't imagine you're using any of that. 834 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 7: So this allows for this dialogue to continue.

All right, let's keep it real 969 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 3: simple here. And I can't believe this is going to 970 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 3: be one of the questions to start the show off. 971 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 3: Will the Colts make the playoffs? 972 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 5: Yes or no? 973 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,359 Speaker 2: Yes, I'll start it off. I think I'm gonna win 974 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 2: on Sunday, and I think that they're going to finish 975 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 2: the last five weeks three and two. I do think 976 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 2: this team is gonna pull it back together. I think 977 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 2: they're gonna be eleven and six, and I think they'll 978 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 2: be probably playing that first weekend. But maybe hosting what gives. 979 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,919 Speaker 5: You that confidence that they're going to turn it around 980 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 5: in Jacksonville. 981 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: Because I don't think that the I know it was 982 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 2: against lesser competition, but I still think they are much 983 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 2: closer to the team that we saw in the first 984 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 2: half of you than the team we saw the last 985 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 2: week or two. 986 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say yes. I really think those three 987 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 4: wildcard teams like Kansas City Houston coming up on Sunday 988 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 4: is definitely going to be a big game. The Colts 989 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 4: really would have to bottom out, I think to get 990 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 4: all the way to the eighth spot. Like I'm talking 991 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 4: a one in for finish in the one win not 992 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 4: being a divisional game. So yeah, I'm not as comfortable 993 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 4: with my yes as maybe Jeff is, but I will 994 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 4: say yes. 995 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 5: You know, I want to be pessimistic here, but I'm 996 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 5: gonna go yes. 997 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 4: Even with the loss on Sunday. That's what you've been 998 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:16,800 Speaker 4: saying all week. 999 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's my caveat. They won't win the division. 1000 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 5: They'll get in as a wildcard. That was my next question. 1001 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 5: Are they gonna win the AFC s. 1002 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeh see, I think it's more in that wildcard r 1003 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 4: you know, Houston, James. We talked about this in the 1004 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 4: media room yesterday. I think if you polled AFC teams 1005 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 4: right now and said what team would you least like 1006 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,479 Speaker 4: to face in the playoffs out of the AFC South, 1007 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,240 Speaker 4: it would be Houston. 1008 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, that defense is for real. 1009 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 4: But there's still a full game back of Jacksonville and Indy. 1010 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 4: So they and they got Kansas City Sunday night. They've 1011 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 4: got some heavy lifting, a little bit more schedule wise, 1012 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 4: definitely than Jacksonville. Not Indy, but definitely Jacksonville the rest 1013 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 4: of the way. So yeah, Mark, I'll say, I'll say 1014 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:51,800 Speaker 4: it's a wildcard. 1015 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:52,240 Speaker 5: Okay. 1016 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 3: Sticking with the Colts with your time of year, how 1017 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 3: many Pro Bowlers? What's have I know, obviously the Pro 1018 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 3: Bowl game doesn't mean much, but you still get some 1019 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 3: some ups and pay for making the Pro Bowl. How 1020 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 3: many Pro Bowl selections and we're talking first, we're not 1021 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 3: talking about like reserves and all that stuff. How many 1022 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 3: is the alternate right? How many Pro bowlers will the 1023 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 3: Colts have? I'm I'm setting the over under at three 1024 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 3: and a half. 1025 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 5: I'm trying to think Jonathan Taylor's in. Yeah, I would 1026 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 5: say that's the biggest layup of them all. 1027 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 2: I like Tyler Warren and Quentin Neilson. 1028 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think those three are pretty close to locks. 1029 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,919 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones or No, he actually got a pretty good 1030 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,240 Speaker 3: well fan support. 1031 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 4: Yeah he does early on. I mean Jones might be 1032 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 4: one of those ones that gets invited mark and that 1033 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 4: he doesn't play because the fibula. I'll say those through. 1034 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 4: Oh boy, I probably stop with those three. I mean 1035 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 4: cam bine them. 1036 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 7: I that name. 1037 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 4: You know, he's he's a showman. I said, all serious, 1038 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 4: and I think I would help us call and rio 1039 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 4: Berto Sanchez. Honestly, is that a really good year? So 1040 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 4: but I'm gonna stick with three. 1041 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 5: I'll take the over and pick one of the specialists. 1042 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 5: Sanchez or Luke Rose makes a long snap away for 1043 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 5: that Blake groupie late late arrival. I'm not picking him. 1044 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 4: I saw that I had to rub my eyes on 1045 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 4: Sunday when I saw like Michael Badgeley I think one 1046 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 4: of the field goals he made and the Colts did 1047 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 4: hashtag Pro Bowl vote. 1048 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, tru. Do you think there's any defensive players besides 1049 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 5: Kim Bay. 1050 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 4: I think Buckner with the injury hurts him, and I 1051 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 4: don't Sauce. Gardner wasn't that high on the Ensauces injury obviously, 1052 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 4: but I didn't think Sauce was a high up on 1053 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 4: the fan vote as I thought. Franklin, I I to me, 1054 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 4: he doesn't, you know. The tackle number was so high 1055 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 4: in recent years is not as high this year. So 1056 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 4: I'll say three, I'll go four. 1057 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 2: I'll say three. 1058 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 3: Okay, let's stick with the Colts one more time. Blake 1059 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 3: Groopie your comfortability level on Sunday from his distance now, 1060 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 3: he's actually hit it from like mid fifties and beyond, 1061 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 3: so I mean he maybe he's a lot of that 1062 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty pounds is like in the hamstring 1063 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 3: or something like that. 1064 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 5: Do you believe that's the only thing I can think of? 1065 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 2: Do you believe that he's gonna be all fixed with 1066 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 2: his special team coach from Notre Dame Kevin? 1067 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean distance markets kind of an interesting way 1068 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 4: to ask it. Yeah, I mean, like, I don't think 1069 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 4: he'll be short from fifty two distance, right. I thought 1070 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:12,720 Speaker 4: Mark said distance. 1071 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,800 Speaker 3: Now I'm just saying, yeah, if you're lying, if I 1072 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 3: mean you send you trotting him out there for like 1073 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 3: fifty two yard attempts right out of the gate. 1074 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 4: I mean with a game on the line, perhaps, but 1075 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if that's something you know, 1076 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,760 Speaker 4: down and distance, fourth and whatever that's going to depend 1077 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 4: on it. Again, I'm not overly comfortable with them. My 1078 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 4: bars simply do just make the extra points and no 1079 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 4: be disastrous. And the short field goals. 1080 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 5: He has had trouble though on some of the short 1081 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 5: field goals. Just point that out rights. For the question 1082 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 5: he's been if I had to scale it one to ten, 1083 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 5: I would probably be at like a six as far 1084 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 5: as my confidence in him. 1085 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 3: Not a thirty year old and you kicking in, you're 1086 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 3: getting a little more nervous all of a sudden. 1087 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 5: Maybe Jeff. 1088 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 2: Not comfortable with any kicker they've been putting out since 1089 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 2: their Maine kicker got hurt at the beginning of the year. 1090 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 5: Spencer Trader, I will give you my leg I am, 1091 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:08,839 Speaker 5: I am. 1092 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 2: I'm happy that they're going to have extra points made 1093 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 2: because it changes the entire complexion of the scoring and 1094 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 2: the game and how you approach things. But I'm not 1095 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 2: going to be any more confident if he lines up 1096 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 2: for a forty eight yard than I was when Michael 1097 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 2: Badgley was was lining up for a forty eight yard. 1098 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 5: I'm thinking that same thing. 1099 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 3: All right, what are we watching? Before we wrap them 1100 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,720 Speaker 3: and get into a checkdown?

The first four 1104 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 3: episodes are out. They are excellent, So if you've been 1105 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 3: holding off on getting on that, sign up for that 1106 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 3: one pluribus five episodes in. It is fantastic, But highly 1107 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 3: recommend that as well. What are you guys watching? 1108 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 2: I've been so busy the last two weeks outside of work. 1109 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 2: I still want to watch the last episode and a 1110 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 2: half of The Diplomat that I told you two weeks ago. 1111 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 5: I was trying to watch Get On Mercy.

Prop 1187 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 9: bets have been a disaster, so we're gonna focus on 1188 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 9: the game tonight. And I like the Lions of minus 1189 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 9: three here. I'm a by low sell high guy. You 1190 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 9: guys know this. The look at headline before Thanksgiving was 1191 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 9: about six points here. So you mean to tell me 1192 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,520 Speaker 9: because of a game on Thanksgiving with each one of 1193 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 9: these teams that's going to drop a field goal down? 1194 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 9: That seems like an awful lot to me. And are 1195 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,760 Speaker 9: we really to believe the Cowboys are going to sweep 1196 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 9: at Philly, Kansas City and at Detroit on a short week, 1197 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 9: That's a tall task. If I told you the seasons, 1198 00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 9: well the Cowboys sweep that, nobody's signing up for that. 1199 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 9: And if you kind of break down the numbers here, 1200 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 9: the Lions have been excellent following losses since November of 1201 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 9: twenty two, going fourteen to no straight up and thirteen 1202 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 9: and one against the spread. So I am in on 1203 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,399 Speaker 9: Detroit tonight. Cowboys are better, but we're treating these dudes 1204 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,240 Speaker 9: like they're the eighty five Bears. All of a sudden, 1205 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 9: I'll take the Lions at home on a short week here, 1206 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 9: and I'll lay the three. 1207 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I think I can get behind that. 1208 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's shift. 1209 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 4: Let's shift gears to Saturday night again. It opened up. 1210 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 4: Ohio State is a five and a half point favorite. 1211 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,959 Speaker 4: This line has started to shrink a bit towards Kurt 1212 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 4: Signetti and the Hoosiers. It is certainly one of the 1213 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 4: more anticipated sporting events we've had in our city. What 1214 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 4: do you like? 1215 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 9: In the last eight Big Ten Championship football games, the 1216 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 9: favorite is eight and zero and six and two against 1217 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 9: the spread. Boy, And since their last loss to Michigan 1218 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 9: over a year ago, Ohio State fourteen one and one 1219 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 9: against the spread. And they just haven't been beating up 1220 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 9: on little sisters of the poor. That includes housing Tennessee, 1221 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 9: housing Oregon, and rolling through the National Championship. Man, I 1222 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 9: hate to say this because I like Indiana and I 1223 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 9: think indiana. 1224 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,440 Speaker 8: Might team is second best team in America. 1225 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 9: Hey, money's money, folks, I'm gonna lay the four and 1226 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 9: a half with the buck. 1227 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 4: Guys. 1228 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 8: I hate myself for it. 1229 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 9: I know your audience probably hates me for this, but 1230 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 9: here's the real reality. 1231 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 4: I've never heard anyone ever hate you. 1232 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 9: I would take Ohio State minus four and a half 1233 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 9: against anybody in America, Bama, Georgia A and m Oregon, 1234 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 9: whoever you got. I think Ohio State is the best 1235 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 9: team in America. Indiana might be second. But the last 1236 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 9: time you could get Ohio State at this low of 1237 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 9: number I can't remember. It's a wild weekend where you 1238 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,480 Speaker 9: can get the buck guys at four and a half 1239 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 9: and Bama catching points all at the same time. So man, 1240 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,799 Speaker 9: please don't hate me. I love Don Fisher. He's doing 1241 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 9: work on Saturday. But I got the Buckeyes from my 1242 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 9: money minus four and a half. 1243 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 3: It seems like a good time to remember that at 1244 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 3: Jason Allen Hammer is where you can find it. 1245 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 9: Yes, all hate mail you can send to Tony Katz 1246 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 9: Karen WC. 1247 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 5: So any other college games you're looking at Hammer? Or 1248 00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 5: should we look ahead to Colts Jaguars, which you know 1249 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 5: is a huge matchup, not only from the standings, but 1250 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 5: I would imagine from the betting standpoint as well. 1251 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 9: We're gonna circle the wagons by low Sell High. When 1252 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,760 Speaker 9: Vegas tells you something, you have to listen. Okay, Okay, 1253 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 9: So everybody's down on the Colts right now. They might 1254 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 9: not have a good kicker, there's injuries in the secondary. Fine, 1255 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 9: they haven't won in Jacksonville since like the Reagan administration. 1256 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,520 Speaker 9: All right, fine, but look at this spread here. Colts 1257 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 9: are still favorites in this game at Jacksonville. Vegas is 1258 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:57,399 Speaker 9: telling you something here. Jacksonville is not that good the Colts. Yes, 1259 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 9: they struggle against elite defenses or good defenses even and 1260 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 9: you look at the Pittsburgh game. I know Pittsburgh's defense 1261 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 9: isn't great, but you commit six turnovers and it was 1262 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,520 Speaker 9: still a one possession game at the end. So the 1263 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 9: Colts aren't as bad as people are making them out 1264 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 9: to be. And we still don't know if Trevor Lawrence 1265 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 9: is any good or not. So I'm telling you this 1266 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 9: is a Bilo sell high. I'm gonna take the Colts. 1267 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 9: I'm gonna lay the one and a half, and I 1268 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 9: think they break that streak down to Jacksonville this weekend. 1269 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 9: Vegas odds makers are begging everybody to hitch their wagon 1270 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,800 Speaker 9: on the Jags home divisional dogs. I get it, the 1271 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 9: numbers are usually there, but I'm not sold on that 1272 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 9: Jack's defense at all. 1273 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 8: I think the Colts put up some points. 1274 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 4: Okay, you walked in this studio and Mark Dyton turns 1275 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 4: forty years old on Sunday, Jason Hammer, and you told 1276 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,880 Speaker 4: us you had a play in the Bears Hackers game 1277 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 4: coming up on Sunday. 1278 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 5: Behind. 1279 00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 4: Well, Mark Dyton be getting excited about this or not. 1280 00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 8: So I'm gonna help Mark out a little bit. 1281 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 9: We had a big town hall meeting here at work 1282 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 9: yesterday where we found out all of our benefits are 1283 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 9: gonna be way more expensive. 1284 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:06,880 Speaker 8: So here's how we're gonna pay for it.

And Mark knows this, huh from 1300 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 9: having three wins compared to what they've gotten out nine. 1301 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 9: So I'm telling you the better defense at home prime time. 1302 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 9: Give me Green Bay all day.

It's better than 1305 00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 9: a loss, but I'd rather have the six and a half. 1306 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 9: I am in on the Packers, so I'm crapping on 1307 00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 9: everybody on this show here to make friends Packers.
