1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back Colts Corner with myself, Kevin Bowen and Eddie

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Garrison is across the way. Week three of the NFL

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: season is here one of four two and oh teams

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC.

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: That would be the Indiapolis.

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Colts on the road to the Ultimate Party atmosphere for

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon game that would be Nashville and it

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: will be Colts and Titans. One o'clock field goal favorite

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: three and a half maybe for the Colts here in

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: week three, Senor Garrison, good afternoon.

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. I want you to rate my woo because

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of wooing that goes on

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 3: in Nashville and.

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: A lot of towoing right a hawk towoing.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, oh gosh. I should probably

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: start there.

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: Okay, three two one, whoo.

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: Very good?

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, are you on the back of the pedal

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: bar or the front of the pedal bar?

21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I almost called you, Jake, just

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: fresh off the show with Jake, almost called you, Jake.

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't know how you feel about Yeah.

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I like that.

25
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: It gives the PTSD of working with him in the morning.

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, just I just think of how I

27
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: met your mother. I don't know if you're how I

28
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: met your mother show guy for yeah, the WU Girl

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: episode with you know, Robin and everybody at the bar

30
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: are Yeah.

31
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heavily endorse that. So great work by you

32
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: on that very remiss reminiscent of Daniel Jones. To start

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: here in this twenty twenty five NFL season, so we'll

34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: obviously get to Colton Titans news fresh off the practice field,

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: some notable names not practicing. I guess I let's just

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: start there. Typically as we record this Wednesday podcast, the

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: injury report, you know, usually back half of it tends

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: to be published, so we'll all wait injury designations for

39
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren and Josh Downs. But those two guys were

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: observing practice, they both were present, they both I think

41
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: they both talked to the media today, and we'll obviously

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: wait to see kind official ward. You know, Wednesdays can

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: be days of rest, typically in the month of September,

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: they're not very RESTful, but nonetheless we'll continue to monitor

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: that because it goes without saying that Warren and Jones

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: are critical guys, you know, Warren played sixty six snaps.

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: I think we talked a little bit about this on

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: Monday's Pot Eddie. That is a giant number. I believe

49
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: only Trey McBride had one game of playing more than

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: that last year in the NFL. I mean that is

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: a for a tight end. That is so that is

52
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: a huge, huge number. You know, Downs, of course dealt

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury in August. You know, neither of

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: them were diagnosed with an injury during the game or

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't. Eve think the blue tentt was used by

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the Colts on Sunday. And you know, I always point

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: this out when you're dealing with positions because I think

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: it does matter. Josh Dowens has done this before in

59
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: his career. They both play positions where you could pitch

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: count them in a very specific role. You know, remember

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: the game in Germany, Eddie with Josh Downs, Yeah, and

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: just the third down role, and he played made the

63
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: play of the game. Remember on that diving catch from

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew to ice. It just one of the honestly

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: one of the best plays I've seen certainly Downs make,

66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: and and you know, maybe any Colts pass catcher in

67
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: recent years so we'll see how the.

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: Week moves along.

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Obviously it goes without saying that, you know, it is

70
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: a critical time, you know, in terms of both of

71
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: them being impactful players. But we'll see how that plays out.

72
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Moony Ward back to practice, and then we saw lots

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: which it was a little bit of a surprise base

74
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: of what Shane Sdyken said like an hour before practice,

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: it looked.

76
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: Like a lot two was actually going.

77
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know how much he did in

78
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: individual drills and everything, but you know, a lot too

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: with the hamstring is probably the one I'm watching more.

80
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, Ward was in a blue jersey, so he

81
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: is already nearly progressed through the entire protocol, right, which

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: is always you know, a positive sign on a Wednesday.

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: A lot too with a hamstring, Eddie. If we played

84
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: this out today was day seven. Typically these hamstrings and

85
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately the Colts know him better than most. Yep, they're

86
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: typically a multi week thing. So you know, a lot too.

87
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: If he plays on Sunday, that of course would not

88
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: be multi week. Well, I guess it'd be like ten

89
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: or eleven days from the injury. And again he plays

90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: a position that you could rotate at but nonethe less

91
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: good news at Lattu and Mooney Ward.

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 2: Both back practicing.

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: Is Mattia wu girl? Was she a woo girl?

94
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no, she did tell me.

95
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I came upstairs Monday night after watching the end of

96
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: the Texans Bucks game, and her first comments were, Baker

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: Mayfield's pretty cute?

98
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: Oh really, yeah, how'd you feel about that?

99
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

100
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: That was kind of a tough one to fall asleep on.

101
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna be honest with you, did you not?

102
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: I watched a little more of charge I was like,

103
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: let's look at Justin Herbert. Well, I'm justin Herbert significant

104
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: other right now?

105
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: Boy, there you go? Did you say, yeah, did you

106
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: know this Madison Beer?

107
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I should have, but I did not.

108
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: I instead probably watched too much of Chargers Raiders to

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: try to get my mind off of Baker mayfield impressive

110
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: final minute.

111
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: And also, so you were you looking at Airline?

112
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe I should have gone there.

113
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: I have Brock Bowers and one of my fantasy teams,

114
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: so I probably should just focus on that. But yeah,

115
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, we you know, I definitely enjoy a weekend

116
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: in Nashville, but.

117
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: Dude, this is a party. Sunday is a and we'll

118
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: get into this a little bit more when we talk Titans.

119
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: Sunday is just to.

120
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: Handle your business game, Yes it is.

121
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: The Titans think that atmosphere is gonna be dull.

122
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: There're gonna be a ton of Colts fans, and the

123
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: NFL presents these occasionally.

124
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot of blue, a lot of

125
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Colts blue. I'm just saying a lot of blue.

126
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: The NFL presents these games where like very little that

127
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: happens Sunday at one o'clock will probably mean something for January.

128
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you have.

129
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: A responsibility as an NFL player that you know there

130
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: are some games each season that the team not very good,

131
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: and it's your job to again take care of business,

132
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: be a professional, be disciplined. That's the word that changed.

133
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Tekend has used quite often already.

134
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: This week.

135
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Your road favored against a rookie quarterback in Week three.

136
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: That's a dream situation. You want to play the rookie

137
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: quarterback early. You're getting that chance right now. He is

138
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: not really shown much. Whoziah Franklin is begging him to

139
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: throw the same pass he threw for a touchdown last

140
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: week coming up this Sunday, So it is a handle

141
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: your business type of game for the Colts. But again,

142
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: we can save more of the Titans talk for Titans.

143
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: Right before we like fully dive into that really quick.

144
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this the other day. I forget

145
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 3: and I failed to mention up on Monday's podcast. But

146
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: I go back to some of the things that you know,

147
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: Shane Steichen and Chris Ballad said after last season, before

148
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: the start of this season, and the one thing that

149
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: I have felt like the Colts have accomplished through two

150
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: weeks keV is they have looked tougher, and like that

151
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: was a big point of emphasis from Chris Ballard after

152
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 3: the season, is that this team needs to be tougher.

153
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: They just need to be more physically tough, mentally tough,

154
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. How would you evaluate that

155
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: through two weeks, because I thought the mental toughness and

156
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: the mental fortitude was on display against the Denver Broncos

157
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: on Sunday. Yeah.

158
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: I always struggle to define toughness, you know, does it

159
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: mean trench play, doesn't mean pure physicality? To your point,

160
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: is it more of a mental thing than anything like

161
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Spencer Schrader displayed an impressive amount of mental toughness, right

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: to come back and kick the forty five yard or

163
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: now I the end of the day, the Colts, if

164
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the if Denver is smarter than the culture wanted one.

165
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: Right, So it's like, how much can I like preach

166
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: this toughness?

167
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: I what I have said throughout the week, and I

168
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: think I said it kind of on Monday, but I'll

169
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: say it again here Eddie. The culture too and zero

170
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: and a massive reason is Daniel Jones in the right

171
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: arm and that to me, yes, and his right arm

172
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily his legs outside of the QB sneaks. That

173
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: to me is a wildly impressive thing. And I think

174
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: if you're a Colts fan, that offers a little bit

175
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: of like, WHOA, that's different. I didn't think like two

176
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: and oh isn't the most stunning thing in the world, right,

177
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you have two home games. Obviously Denver is

178
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: a good football team. But still, you know, again, it's

179
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: not the most shocking thing in the world. It's more

180
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: of the fact of Wow, Daniel Jones' football is a

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: huge reason why you are at two and zero. And

182
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: even if you were one and one, Like, even if

183
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: that flag doesn't come out, Daniel Jones is still played great,

184
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: great football for you. And I guess to get into

185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Jones here for just a second, my question has not

186
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: become what does confidence.

187
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: Do for him?

188
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Because he looks confident.

189
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the opening.

190
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: Drive on Sunday, once again I was blown away with it.

191
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: His ability to hang in the pocket, muddy pockets, awkward

192
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: footwork and deliver and take chances.

193
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: And again that's on the opening drive of the game.

194
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: That's not like must have, you know whatever, fourth quarter

195
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: sort of moments for him. They have been tremendous on

196
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: first down. I think they've done a lot of the hey,

197
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: let's throw early downs. So that's where I think you

198
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: have to be impressive. And you know, to get back

199
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: to Jones's legs for a second. You know, in twenty

200
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, Eddie, you know, he ran for seven hundred

201
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: yards and right now he's had his fewest rushing yards

202
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: per game of any season in his career. So that

203
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: to me is a Again, sometimes when you are excelling as.

204
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: The runner second in the league in passing, it's hard.

205
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: To sustain like the annual running years. Yes, and you know,

206
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: he obviously has had an acl since then. So the

207
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: fact that he is delivering soap because I mean, he

208
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: can certainly make a player two with his legs, I'm

209
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: not debating that, but I think the fact that he

210
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: has done this with more of his arm is also

211
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: an impressive note for him. So again, I know I

212
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: hit on this a lot on Monday, but you just

213
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: have to be thoroughly, thoroughly impressed by Jones, And I

214
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: know some people are. More and more people are tweeting

215
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: out the deep ball clip to downs in this first

216
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: throw of the game.

217
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I said to Mike Chapel.

218
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Holy shit, like that was a holy shit throw, like

219
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to hang out the first play, the first off for

220
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: you to take that chance, you know, and then because

221
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean that was some good coverage and it was

222
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: not just necessarily you know, completion or incompletion. Uh, there

223
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: was some risk involved with it too. So again, great

224
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: work from Daniel Jones. Can he win Comeback Player of

225
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: the Year? Is comeback player of the year you come

226
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: back from sucking or you come back from injuring.

227
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: Didn't they change it to where it's you have to

228
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: be injured the prior year?

229
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: So you do, because I'm seeing him on these odds list.

230
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: I thought they changed the rule because who was it

231
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: that one comeback player of the year Flacco? Yes, it

232
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: was Flacco who won it, even though he didn't really

233
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: suffer an injury.

234
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: Right, he was just bad?

235
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so yeah, I've always been a believer it

236
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: should be injured, not bad.

237
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: But in number two nonetheless, Uh, the word Alex Smith

238
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: was the name Alex Smith dropped like half a dozen

239
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: times by Chris Ballard. And I know it's only two games,

240
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: but keV, it looks like what he said about, like

241
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: the Alex Smith type of resurrection sure is coming to

242
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: life right now with Daniel Jones.

243
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know the beauty of the NFL is

244
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: you got to string it together, and you got to

245
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: do it a month after a month. And how do

246
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: you look at Jones right now? Do you say, oh, wow,

247
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: he's uber confident. I wonder how he's gonna play continuing

248
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: to be confident.

249
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Or do you sit here and you say.

250
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: Will teams are gonna get more film on him? And

251
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: you know what happens when now all of a sudden

252
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: these teams side, not to which I think Denard Wilson

253
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: will blitz a ton on Sunday. But what happens when

254
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: teams say, hey, he's doing really well against the blitz,

255
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: let's just drop seven or eight and you just see

256
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: how he'll do.

257
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: And that's off to Jonathan Taylor in that regard.

258
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: So yes, the Colts obviously have counters to this, so

259
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: great work from Jones obviously. A couple other items of note. Offensively,

260
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: I think the eighty Mitchell usage has been interesting. You know,

261
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: he has been targeted, from a percentage standpoint, the most

262
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: of any wide out on the team. Yeah, six targets

263
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: and twenty two snaps, which I wrote this on one

264
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: of seven five to the fan dot com.

265
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: I won't bore you too much of the numbers.

266
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: Were going to plug yourself, Kevin, nice job.

267
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: But that is twenty seven percent of his target rate

268
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: when's on the field. That is a huge number compared

269
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: to Downs, Pittman, and Pierce. So I just think it's notable.

270
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Shane Staken had some complimentary things to say about Mitchell today,

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and we'll see if Downs is out.

272
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: You know, are you going Anthony.

273
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Gould or is this back to kind of early last

274
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: year where you know you put other guys in the slot.

275
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: Obviously Warren's you know, presence, indoor absence would play to

276
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: that as well. You know with Jonathan Taylor, you know

277
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people asking, hey, is this a restae

278
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: for Tyler Warren? All part of me is like, well,

279
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: many shouldn't Jonathan Taylor.

280
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 2: Use a rest day? Right now?

281
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: We've kind of gone over his workload. I mean you

282
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: look around the league. B Jhon Robinson is nearly splitting carries,

283
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, even say Kwon, even Dereck Henry, those guys

284
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: have had some others take some you know, carry count

285
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: off of them. Taylor has carried did it. I think

286
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: he leads the league in russias and that's with missing

287
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: a full quarter to end that season opener. Red zone

288
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: struggles for me Eddie, a little bit poor run, poor

289
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: running in the red zone.

290
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: One more carry than Josh Jacobs.

291
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, three more than three for Taylor? Is that's not right?

292
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: Forty three for Taylor?

293
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: Yes, you know, red zone struggles. I think they've struggled

294
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: to run it in those confined spaces. And then a

295
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: couple injuries or excuse me, a couple penalties that I

296
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: think have played into you know, you get behind the

297
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: chains down there, and it's never ideal flipping over to

298
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, I'll be curious to see how

299
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: they run defense. Yeah, transpires from here.

300
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: I get it. Louisanna Rooma, I thought it.

301
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: Was pretty transparent and saying, like, hey, week one, the

302
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: plan was don't let seventeen and ten beat you.

303
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 2: And again that makes sense. He referenced actually the first

304
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: play of.

305
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: The game, they had a run call or they had

306
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: a pass call on Miami ran it for ten.

307
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: You know.

308
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: Again, some of that stuff's gonna happen when you face

309
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: those sorts of teams. So I can understand that the

310
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Denver thing is probably a little bit more bothersome, because

311
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: like they do want to run it, and you note that, and.

312
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: They still ran it right right.

313
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Dobbin's ran it well, and I'd say probably the most

314
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: frust Like I thought the linebackers. I had questions about

315
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: the linebacker play, so their play right now does not

316
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: surprise me. I think the edge rush has been disappointing,

317
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: and again lat two's absence in week two contributes to it.

318
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: But like dude, I just feel like the Cults have

319
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: just a bunch. They just have a bunch of like

320
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: power rushers. Yeah, I don't think they have any spear again,

321
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: maybe a lot two is that, but like speed guys

322
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: that really can kind of bend that pocket via the

323
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: edge and again force because think about it, the beneficial

324
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: thing to the edge rush is now that pushes them

325
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: into Buckner or Grover. I mean, the interior rush is

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: usually where the culture good at. Yeah, you know, you

327
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: look at the Cambine and Pick. I thought Grover kind

328
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: of contributed to some of that. So you just have

329
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: to have better edge rush than they have had early

330
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: in the year. I want to say, their presure rate's

331
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: like thirtieth or twenty ninth something pretty low, and they're

332
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: blitzing way too much for the pressure rate to beat

333
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: that low. It's not like they're trying to sit back

334
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: and play covered. So those are a couple of the

335
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: defensive notes.

336
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: That I had.

337
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: Obviously, this week is a this week's a get right,

338
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: This week is a pick up the Colts defensive fantasy.

339
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, maybe you want diving Titans.

340
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Well, I guess last last thing that I think about it, Eddie,

341
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: we should just put a bow tie on what happened

342
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the game.

343
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: And Shane Stikeen not doubling down.

344
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was obviously a big topic, you know, for

345
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: us on on the on the Monday pot. I think,

346
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: if you're Colts fans, exactly what you want to hear

347
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: from Stikeen. He's not being stubborn, he's not doubling down.

348
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he went as far in publicly admitting

349
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: what he would do Differently. I don't remember him doing

350
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: that with like the Denver trick play necessarily, or even

351
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the you know, Minshew to Tyler Goodson play. So I

352
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: think that is something that you want, not that these

353
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: situations arise weekly, but hey, I made a mistake. If

354
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: we get in the situation again, this is probably what

355
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: I would do, because even if you go back, I

356
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: want to say, like third down, they snapped that ball

357
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: with seventeen seconds. So if you run a pass play there,

358
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Eddie and it's incomplete, you're still running probably four or

359
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: five seconds off the clock. Just run that pass play.

360
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: So now you're down to twelve. Let's say it's five

361
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: seconds you kick the field goal. Then let's say the

362
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: field goal takes another five seconds. There's seven seconds off

363
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: in the game. If you can't kick the ball off

364
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: and defend the field in seven seconds.

365
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: You deserve to lose.

366
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so do what the Bears did not do is

367
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: either a kick it through the end of the end zone,

368
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: through the end zone, or kick it short of the

369
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: landing zone if you really wanted to do that, if

370
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: you're that scared, right Miami having a big return right.

371
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: And again I don't by no means am I go.

372
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Do I want to crucify Shane Sdyikeen, But I do

373
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: think it's a reminder of like, this is a first

374
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: time head coach, and yes it's your three but there

375
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: are growing elements to the job, and that's what you know.

376
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe Anthony Richardson's in the back of

377
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: the room saying, wait, growing elements on the job.

378
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm back here. You know.

379
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: Maybe well, actually you probably don't want anthe or in

380
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: the back of the room. He probably want him in

381
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: front of the room. But nonetheless, I think it's probably

382
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: a good reminder that sometimes there is that with stich In.

383
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: So we had a listener at I forget his name,

384
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: he tweeted at me, he goes, do you feel Shane

385
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: Steigen's the dumbest, smartest person, you know.

386
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I laughed at it.

387
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I understand where you're coming from, Drew,

388
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: But largely I think he's honestly, I think he's such

389
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: a psychotic football human.

390
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

391
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that the football gods gave that to him. They're like, dude,

392
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: you worship us so much. You love the game of

393
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: football so much.

394
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: It's your typical case of an overthinker.

395
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: We owe you.

396
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, yeah, I just wanted to put a bow.

397
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: Time on that you mentioned. Picking up the Colts defense

398
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: this week in fantasy has a potential streamer option. That's

399
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: because if you look at almost every offensive stat you can,

400
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: Chargers are the worst team in the nf titles. Thank

401
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: you my goodness. I don't know where I'm getting Chargers from.

402
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 3: But cam Ward completing fifty percent of his passes, only

403
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: one touchdown, no picks yet from the rookie, He's been

404
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: sacked eleven times this year, Tony Pollard averaging barely four

405
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: yards to carry. His longest run of the year is

406
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: only ten yards. They don't have a single receiver with

407
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: ten receptions. Yet you're looking at Calvin Ridley leading the

408
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: team with seven receptions for eighty four yards. Chickakon Quo

409
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 3: also tying the team lead in receptions with seven for

410
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: fifty four yards. A guy who does have their lone

411
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: touchdown on the season is and I hope I'm saying

412
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: the first name right, alec Aluman or.

413
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: Is it the Stamford kid?

414
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: He was good in college? Yeah, yeah, he was really good. Yeah.

415
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: Bright spot for them six catches sixty nine yards in

416
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: not receiving touchdown on the season. But offensively they are

417
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: struggling each and every week. Defensively they're pretty solid though Kevin.

418
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Well, I they certainly are better defensively than offensively.

419
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I'm ready to go there

420
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: just yet.

421
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: It could be like the Colts last year, for example.

422
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: We felt like there was some talent there, but they

423
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: were just on the field so much.

424
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: It's a fair point, you know.

425
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, you know, you got a ton of

426
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: I got a high pressure water going through a pipe.

427
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna burst eventually.

428
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: No, that is that is a good, good analogy.

429
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see they're injury report because guys

430
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: like to and Andre Sweat, a key defensive tackle for

431
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: them miss last week Kevin Zeitler on the offensive line.

432
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Jac Latham on on the offensive line. Those are three

433
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: important pieces in the trenches that if they're not practicing

434
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: and or playing, the Colts could have an advantage because

435
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: I do think that's one area if Tennessee is healthy,

436
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: like Jeffrey Simons a really good bo ball player, you know,

437
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: Peter Skronsky was what top ten pick. That is one

438
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: area that I feel like they could have something there.

439
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: But if they're not healthy, then I really don't expect

440
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: this game to be too too close. Again, this is discipline,

441
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: it's you know again, NFL life present, some of this stuff,

442
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: your road favorite, it's a rookie quarterback, it's a party atmosphere.

443
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: Just handle your business. It might not have.

444
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: January, you know, huge key evaluation periods that will point

445
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: to whatever a wild card game in January and point

446
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: back to Week three, but it matters as a win

447
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: and loss, and that.

448
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: Obviously is huge. So the Titans have lost eight straight

449
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: if you're dating back to last.

450
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: Season, so you know they obviously have had an issue

451
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: there in trying to win football games. Brian Callahan and

452
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: lou An Arumo, that's a little bit of a Cincinnati background.

453
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: Is it not.

454
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: Indeed, yeah, they actually faced late last season.

455
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: Now Denver.

456
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: Here think about last week with bo Nicks. Bo Nicks

457
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: did have a success against lou An Eruma last year.

458
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: He then had success against him of course on Sunday. Obviously,

459
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: cam Ward did not play in last year's game. Tennessee

460
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: did weirdly put up twenty seven points against Cincinnati last

461
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: year with Mason Rudolph and Will Levis. So again, I

462
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: don't to me, the bow Knicks having seen it and

463
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: then playing against him again is a little different than

464
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: just the same offensive staff seeing him again offensively, you know,

465
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: you just laid it out there. Ward has been sacked

466
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: a ton you know, Tony Pollard. They certainly will want

467
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: to be a big focal point. I don't think their

468
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: pass catchers have aided Ward at all. You know, to

469
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: some people, his numbers haven't been maybe as poor or

470
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: his play, I should say, hasn't been as poor as made.

471
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: The numbers would indicate a massive problem for them. Through

472
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, they're the most penalized team in the NFL.

473
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: So that's the double whamie. We talked about this with

474
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: Denver last week. Denver beat them week one, and a

475
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: huge reason why is Tennessee had like one hundred and

476
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: thirty penalty yards, so you know, the discipline of that

477
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: football team probably leaves a lot to be desired. I

478
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: would expect Denard Wilson and based off what he said

479
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, that he will bring some pressure

480
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: at Daniel Jones, which again Jones is really carved up

481
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: very very well, but I don't think he was very

482
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: pleased with the pressure rate there last week against the Rams.

483
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is probably what your easiest road game

484
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: of the year, you know, when you look at it.

485
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: On the fact that you're getting Cambard in week three,

486
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a big part of it. I think

487
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: you might feel differently if this was whatever, a December

488
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: game and this is it. You know, you play Tennessee

489
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: this week, you play Tennessee again. I want to say,

490
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like late October, we eight, week eight, Okay,

491
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: those are your only divisional.

492
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: Games, the game before Halloween.

493
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: Until you get all the way through your by it's

494
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: like week eleven or twelve for your next divisional game.

495
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: So you know, if you are too whatever, let's say

496
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: it's Houston and Indie going down the wire for.

497
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: The division title thirteen first matchup.

498
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: If you split for some reason, then the next tie

499
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: breaker comes down to divisional records.

500
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: So do you think Houston's good? I don't know, Like

501
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: I think, I think they're just average.

502
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

503
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: I watched that game Monday night, and I'm like, that.

504
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: Was such a bad loss.

505
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I love their ends. I mean, Hunter and Anderson are

506
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: just studs.

507
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, defense is fine, but they can't do Jack's

508
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 3: squad offensively right right?

509
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: And they I mean I was shocked at the chubbed

510
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: in that touch Should Chubb have fallen down on the

511
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: one yard line? Right?

512
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: If he falls down to the one, do they win

513
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: the game?

514
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: Uh? Tampa had their time out so so so they

515
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: could have burned them. Yeah, still had time.

516
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I guess at that point, are you

517
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: you know, are you still trying to score the touchdown?

518
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: You're just a right worth down one?

519
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?

520
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: Because then they missed the twop version off of that. Yeah.

521
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

522
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Houston, I've always thought kind of until you

523
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: derailed it. I mean, if you look at it, what

524
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, Houston because they were favored over Tampa, but

525
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: they weren't.

526
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: The favored over either. They just played in the South,

527
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: and you know, God bless the south man one in

528
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: five right now, those other three teams and again the

529
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: Colts now are doing their thing here.

530
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: So let's get at Twitter questions unless you anything else

531
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: to add on the Titans, and then we'll give our.

532
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: Picks, starting with Benji unserious question for the Pod Should

533
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: we cut rico Berto Sanchez? Serious question? What player or

534
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: position group has surprised you the most through two games.

535
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: Have been very pleased with the offensive line. I was

536
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: concerned about that group before the season. Also, Daniel Jones

537
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: has been awesome.

538
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Benji, Benji, it's gotta be Danie Jones.

539
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of media contingent around Rigoberto

540
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: Sanchez locker.

541
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: Did you see NFL films? Did a highlight? So good?

542
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: Basically all holds and like an occasional celebration or two.

543
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jones for sure. I guess to answer the question,

544
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean the offensive line and pass protection and even

545
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: as a pass propuestion more than run blocking.

546
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: But still it's not like they've been poor Rod blocking.

547
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: You know a guy that I've liked individually, I know

548
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: his unit right now, it's a little bit of a

549
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: question mark. But I like what Nick Cross is shown

550
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: right early in this season, so I would go there

551
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: as well.

552
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: Jr. Now I believe Kevin Jr. Is from Ontario, Canada.

553
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I can't say I've ever been to Ontario.

554
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: I can't either. World of Extremes, Shane Steiken either directly

555
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: coaches the Colts to a win or to a loss

556
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: in Tennessee. Which is it? And why? Boy?

557
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: That seems that seems very specific.

558
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: So either stik In coaches the Colts to a win

559
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: or Stiking coaches the Colts to a loss.

560
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well I.

561
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: Think the Colts are going to win, so I guess

562
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: Stiking would be coaching them.

563
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: Could you say, the Week one, Stiking coaches them to win,

564
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: a Week two, Stiking coaches them to a loss. Uh,

565
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: with the way they handled the end, yeah.

566
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Like if you were yeah, yeah, if you want to

567
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: go in the gray area, yeah yeah.

568
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: The thing about Styching, you know, you wear so many

569
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: damn hats as the play caller and as the head

570
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: coach and you know, quarterback developer and all that stuff.

571
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: It's just hard to fully.

572
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: Fully uh evaluate him. I mean a loss I think

573
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: would be disappointing. I'm a little surprised to spread is

574
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: as small as it is. I mean, I get like,

575
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: okay Road, but.

576
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: I mean divisional games, Kved Kevin.

577
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: They're always weird, no, I know, And like the one

578
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: of the hardest parts about the NFL is predicting when

579
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: weird's gonna happen. Yep, Like it's weird happening tomorrow night.

580
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: Are the Miami Dolphins gonna upset the Buffalo Bills? No,

581
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: So like you laugh and you say no, and I

582
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: get that. But at some point this year we're gonna

583
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: have like a twelve point underdog on Thursday Night football win. Like,

584
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: there's just always one of those games, you know, the

585
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Colts beat Patrick Mahomes. It's like, wait,

586
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: what how does a four win team beat Patrick Mahomes?

587
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: You know, So that's just you know, weird stuff happens

588
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But yes, I expect the Colts to it.

589
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: That's a bad Titans team in a party atmosphere.

590
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: What would have to go wrong for them to lose?

591
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: They turned the ball over?

592
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Jones throw a ball that he did against

593
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: Miami and it turns into a pick six. Yeah, you

594
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: know they catch that interception. Was it last year that

595
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard scored on the third and eighteen or something?

596
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was it a screen or a drug

597
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: like that?

598
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: You know cam Ward who denied it up a couple

599
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: of times. You know those sorts of you know, Nick's

600
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: had that play on Sunday. I don't even blame anymore,

601
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: but he kept that play alive and he got the

602
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: deep ball to.

603
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: Mems down the sideline. But you know that type of

604
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: stuff from Ward.

605
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: Tyler is next, and we were talking about Ady Mitchell earlier.

606
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: Tyler's question what will it take for eighty snap count

607
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: to increase? And his seven snaps against Denver he was

608
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: targeted four times with two receptions. Is it just a

609
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 3: matter of too much other talent at the receiver position

610
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: to justify his limited snaps or is it something else?

611
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, this kind of gets back to what we were talking

612
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: about a little bit earlier. With him.

613
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: I would say this, it's first off, you have very

614
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: capable players above him. I think that deserves mention, and

615
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: I frankly just think they trust the other guys in

616
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: run blocking, for example, in carrying out some of their responsibilities.

617
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw, but of course it

618
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 2: made Stike and giddy.

619
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: Steichen was giddy about did you see the video clip

620
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: of Alec Pierce fake catching the ball on Sunday?

621
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: I did.

622
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't see Adi Mitchell doing that, like, you know,

623
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: carrying out your role that deeply down, Like I don't

624
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: think Adie Mitchell's maybe the best number three or fourth

625
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: option route runner, Like when you know you're where you

626
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: are in the progression, are you still running that route

627
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: to the inf degree? And honestly, with Mitchell two, I

628
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: think there is an ability of like can you waull

629
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: the defense to sleep of like all of a sudden

630
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: he comes out of the huddle and it's like, oh yeah,

631
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about ten. And then it's like, well,

632
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: if you forgot about ten, we're running a go ball

633
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: on Patrick Sartana. We're throwing the ball to him. There's

634
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of number fourth whiteouts to get in

635
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: the league, get into a game. Yeah, and do I

636
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: mean how many number four whiteouts have the target percentage

637
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: that he does.

638
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: That's a good question. Probably none.

639
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's kind of wild.

640
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would just say, overall, Tyler again, Downs

641
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: is the slot guy. They love Pittman as a blocker certainly.

642
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: I think they love Pierce just his steadiness and reliability

643
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: and carrying out all their different tasks. And you know,

644
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: at some point this year they'll probably be an injury

645
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: to the top three and Mitchell will play a few

646
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: more steps.

647
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: Certainly, does it at the end of the day with Ad,

648
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: at least right now, with with where they're at in

649
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: terms of how they're divvying up the snaps and routes

650
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: and whatever. Does part of it also come back to

651
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: just the coaching staffs trust in Ad to be in

652
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: the right spot in running the right route and being

653
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: there at the right time. And does that also go

654
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: hand in hand with Daniel Jones a little bit as well?

655
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I will say this, him and Daniel jone

656
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: eighty Mitchell had some growing pains in camp right and

657
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: yet you wouldn't know it if you see them on

658
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: Sundays right now, like they're I mean, Daniel Jones targets

659
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: him religiously and there's some trust there of like, hey,

660
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm hitting my back foot, You're not out of your

661
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: break yet, but still I know you're running this comeback.

662
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean they had the one little third down in

663
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: Week one where you know, Mitchell didn't have a chance

664
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: to do anything with it after.

665
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: The catch, and he got a little upset about it.

666
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: Right, But I mean that's really I'd have to go

667
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: back and look, what did I say, twenty.

668
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: Seven percent Eddie for his target percentage.

669
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: Twenty seven point three percent. It was twenty seven point

670
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: two seven seven seven.

671
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: All right, So last year he had fifty five targets,

672
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: okay for the entire season. Yep, okay, fifty five. And

673
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: then let's see how many offensive snaps he played. He

674
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: played three eighty three, so that was fourteen percent. Yeah,

675
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: So I mean think about that. You're already and even

676
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: last year I thought at times, I'm like, man, he's

677
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: not playing a lot, but they're still targeting him a

678
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: good amount when he's out of the fiel.

679
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Would you like to know kb from Drew? Is

680
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: it too early to worry about the defense?

681
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: I was disappointed in the defensive effort on Sunday just

682
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: because I don't think Denver has shown the ability to

683
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: do that, particularly through the air. And like one thing specifically,

684
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: Eddie is like like Xavier and Howard when he was

685
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: getting cooked early. It wasn't Courtland Sutton, right, it really

686
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: wasn't Courtland Sutton at all during the game.

687
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 2: And you know, last year Denver had a couple.

688
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Of like fluky moments where obviously the Nick Benita play

689
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: but like mem set up a huge score off of

690
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: a big punt return.

691
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: I think they went after Howard eight times in that

692
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: game if I read that correctly, some.

693
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: Much and they had to have success on what six

694
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: of them?

695
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: Uh huh?

696
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: Seven of them? I mean it was via penalty or.

697
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 3: Colts went after certain in that game nine times.

698
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and boy, I mean those numbers were impressive. I get.

699
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't for those I don't know if they showed

700
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: them the TV. But Certana was really favorite that ankle

701
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: when he left the game. I was shocked he came

702
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: back and played. Yeah, Drew, I think this question probably

703
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: has to be put on hold because, like, I don't

704
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: think we're going to learn a whole lot about than

705
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: this week. I think an area that has been really

706
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: disappointing for me, Eddie is just a lack of front

707
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: seven playmaking. Like if I asked you to go make

708
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: a highlight reel of plays in the front seven. Yeah,

709
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, a nice Buckner pass rusher two and that's

710
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: probably it. Like I don't there hasn't been much from

711
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: that area, which I think is a bit disappointing.

712
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: Moving on to Damon in camp, the defense wasn't nearly

713
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: as good when Charvarius Mooney Ward missed practice. It seems

714
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: that trenn has continued into the regular season. What's the

715
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: biggest difference you see without number seven? And do you

716
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: see any of the Colts players stepping up in his absence?

717
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: Well, I am dumbfounded by the stupidity of the Miami

718
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins not to at least challenge Exabon Howard in Week one,

719
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: Like it just kind of blew me away that they

720
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: didn't really target him at all. You know, obviously, when

721
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: Ward was out last week, you know, Howard goes from

722
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: being just a part of the nickel and dime groupings

723
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: to being a part of the base. So I want

724
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: to say, and again, I know they played a low

725
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: snap count of week one, but I want to say

726
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: his snaps were like thirty two to like fifty five

727
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: or fifty six from Week one to week two. So

728
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: obviously that's a notable increase, but you know, in today's

729
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: NFL against pass happy teams, you're still going to be

730
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: playing him, you know, a good a good amount. So yeah,

731
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: I would say that is something that I would probably

732
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: keep keep an eye on it. And right now, you know, Examing,

733
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: I think admitted on Monday like he knew he would

734
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: be targeted. And you know, I don't know how much

735
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback will necessarily do that, but you know,

736
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy here a week from Sunday, can you

737
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: imagine Davante Adams lined up.

738
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: Across from him or pooka Nakula.

739
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: You know, you can only hide so so much there

740
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: with that aspect to it.

741
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: So don't forget about did you mention DeVante?

742
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

743
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean though again it could be either or you know,

744
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: Mooney can't be guard both of them, So that is

745
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: something that I think could be you know, a year

746
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: long question.

747
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: That's someone who has a fair share amount of Pook

748
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: and a Coula is in fantasy football. You might like

749
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: that they have been lining him a lot in the

750
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: slot more this year than they have in the past.

751
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 3: That was primarily Cooper Cup So.

752
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 2: Gosh, remember how good Puko was here in the game

753
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: two years ago.

754
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, his rookie year.

755
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: That was kind of one of his coming out parties

756
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: early on. Didn't he catch that touchdown over the middle.

757
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: Of the win?

758
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: Well, he over in traffic and yeah, I think he

759
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: had a break a tackle too. Yeah, nine catches one

760
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three yards in a touchdown.

761
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: Man, I just remember, how great because I don't think

762
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: Cooper Cupp played in that game if I remember correctly.

763
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: Gosh, she was so good.

764
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup did not play in that game. Kyene had

765
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: a nice game. Twenty five or one hundred and three. Yeah,

766
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 3: two touchdowns.

767
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: Notre damer Kien Williams mother, Oh was that true?

768
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh? How are you still? Are you feeling all right? Kit?

769
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 3: You doing okay? I know we're further removed. Yeah, yeah,

770
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 3: I didn't bring it up. You did, so, I know

771
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: that's that's all on me. No, no, no, you did not.

772
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 3: Let's just move on.

773
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: Rosie Bowe and I in the building on Saturday. Really,

774
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Perdue, Rosie and I just you and Rosie. Yeah, Maddie,

775
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 1: I think is a little bit like, did you really

776
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 1: think that was a smart idea or did you buy

777
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: that selfishly for you.

778
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, she's five. I mean she she's

779
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: got her Notre Dame cheerleading outfit. She'll be she'll be

780
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: ready to go. You know. Won't you remember that? Won't

781
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: you tell her friends about that at school on Monday?

782
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 3: I was about to say, do you think she's hit

783
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 3: that point now where she'll remember this in the future?

784
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: I hope.

785
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I walked into Notre Dame Stadium?

786
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: How old were you?

787
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: Nonetheless I was probably right around our age, maybe six

788
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: or so. But hopefully good weather and hopefully Notre Dame

789
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: beats some breaks off Purdue.

790
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: All right, KB, tying to make our picks for Sunday.

791
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: The line started at three and a half.

792
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: Is that it total? Questions?

793
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 3: Four and a half? Oh? Did I skip one?

794
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: Although we won one more? Do we have Travis or no?

795
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

796
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. If Daniel Jones continues this as the

797
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: Colts really have a decision to make with Anthony Richardson,

798
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: we will see how it plays out, but definitely curious

799
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: on how this all is handled moving forward.

800
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd have to double check because I've been asking

801
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: this a little bit of our guests this week. I think,

802
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: and I was talking with a NFL agent early, I

803
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: think you can extend a one year contract guy in season.

804
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I know Stephen Holder was like, are you sure can

805
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: you really sign two different contracts in a league year?

806
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: Which I get what he's saying with that, but I

807
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: probably have to double check that. I mean, as far

808
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: as the Richardson decision is concerned, I again, I don't

809
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: see him being traded before the deadline.

810
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: I just don't.

811
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: I don't you have seen some people say, hey, look

812
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: at all these injuries around the league, wouldn't you get

813
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: Richardson gave me? Are we forgetting it's going to take anthey,

814
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: rich just in a little while to learn a new playbook?

815
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: And isn't that a question of his right now? Right

816
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: to me, it seems like more of a project of

817
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: spend a whole off season kind of doing that. So

818
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the urgency I guess with Richardson, I don't see until

819
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: the year is over. And then again, you have other

820
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: aspects to it, Eddie, are you retaining everybody? Answer that

821
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: question for me, and then if so, you have the

822
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: domino effect off of that. But you know, to me,

823
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: it's almost like Carl ersay, Gordon question first and how

824
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: you want to kind of handle quarterback. Are you kind

825
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: of on the freeze for any of that big, big

826
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: picture stuff or is she blown away right now to

827
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: be positively by the job everyone's done. So hey, you're

828
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: all coming back. You guys make decisions as you please.

829
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, quick research for me, Kevin. I know you've been

830
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: asking around, but veteran playees who are beyond their original

831
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 3: rookie contract, can I renegotiate their current contract within twelve

832
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: months after signing their initial deal with the team?

833
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: You can't. So this NFL agent was aligned.

834
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: To me, I don't know, is it Maki Kawa or whatever?

835
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: I forgot the message of me.

836
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, by the way, I was just curious because

837
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: I was pulling up the live odds for this game

838
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: as we make our predictions. KB Yes the favorite for

839
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 3: right now Coach of the Year Sheen Stiken. Daniel Jones

840
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: is fourth for Comeback Player of the Year. Now, they

841
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: do suggest and recommend that it is a player who

842
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: overcame illness or injury from the previous year, but there

843
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 3: is still the chance where he could win the award.

844
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't outright say this award is strictly for somebody

845
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: who was hurt the previous year. You've got Tyler Warren

846
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: tied with Ashton gent Now as the odds on favorite

847
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 3: for ap NFL Rookie of the Year. And that's about

848
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: it in terms of Colts players and Colts in you know,

849
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: top five ish for awards for the end of season.

850
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: But your prediction for Sunday, Colts opened up three and

851
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 3: out point favorites now four and a half, the total

852
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: forty three.

853
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: And a half. Yeah, I'm gonna go thirty one to seventeen.

854
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: Colts totally my As Matt Taylor would say.

855
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: Again, the Trench health of Tennessee is not in a

856
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: good state, which I get. The Colts have some injuries

857
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: on the report right now to keep an eye on.

858
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: But to me, that's the only way Tennessee can kind

859
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: of keep this close. If Simmons and Sweater in the

860
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: middle and they're tearing up, and again Latham and Zeitler

861
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: both of them on the injury reports. So and weirdly,

862
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: I think the Colts pass rush is so blah right now.

863
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: I think that means they'll keep camboard somewhat contained, if

864
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Like I think the more your edge

865
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: rush gets upfield against a guy like camb Ward.

866
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 2: Now that opens up Blane for him.

867
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like this is one of those games where you

868
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: want to keep him in a confined pocket, which you

869
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: know again out though Bodex could operate from that way

870
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: too long on Sunday, and he still made a couple

871
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: of plays with his legs. So I'll go thirty one

872
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: seventeen horse.

873
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guy that doesn't really want to escape

874
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: left to right. He likes to go backwards. It's very weird.

875
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's still in the

876
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: backyard football. And again, if you watch a touchdown play,

877
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: it was a hell of a play.

878
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I will go Colts twenty nine thirteen twenty nine. Yeah,

879
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 3: is that three touchdowns? Threegals?

880
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be thirty?

881
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: Sorry? Hold on, yeah, thirty Okay.

882
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 2: I was like this, maybe Spencer Trader's missing an extra point.

883
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: I'll go thirty. Yeah, all right.

884
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: He is Eddie Garrison, I'm Kevin Bowen.

885
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: We will be back on Monday recap in the Colts

886
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: first road game of the year.

887
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: Everybody, have a great, great weekend.

888
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Colts Corner with myself Kevin Bowe,
