1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update. Oh look at the

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: latest with the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor from the Power Home Solar Radio studio.

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: Welcome inside the Colts Daily Update on a Tuesday evening.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Good to be with you. I'm Matt Taylor, and coming

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: up here on the show tonight, we're gonna hear from

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Colts linebacker Bobby o'karaka and he and his Colts teammates.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: We're back on the practice field today, getting ready for

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: week fifteen, fresh off the buy and up next are

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. It's a Saturday night primetime showdown,

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: so everything bumped up a day. The Colts will practice

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: again tomorrow and then Thursday, and then have their final

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: walkthrough on Friday before the game on Saturday at Lucas

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: Oil Stadium. The Colts are seven and six, the Patriots

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: are nine and four, and if the playoffs started today,

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: both teams would be in The Patriots lead the AFC

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: East and they're one of three nine and four teams

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: in the conference right now, but they would be the

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: top team in the playoffs if the postseason started today.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: That's because they have the best conference record in the

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: AFC with a mark of seven and one, which is

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker between non division teams. The Colts would be

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: the number six seed if the playoffs began today. That's

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: because they received a bunch of help over the weekend

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: while they were on the buy. They jumped from the

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: nine spot to sixth place due to losses to the Steelers, Bengals,

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: and Bills in week number fourteen. So if the playoffs

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: began today, the Colts would travel to take on the

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: number three seed Chiefs and the wildcard round of the playoffs,

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: and the Colts are one of five AFC teams with

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: a record of seven and six, but they topped the

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: rest of those teams due to their six and three

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: conference record, which again is the second tiebreaker after head

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: to head results. Some news on the Colts today. Ryan

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Kelly was activated off the COVID nineteen list today. That's

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: good news. He was placed there the day before the

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: team took on the Houston Texans, and Frank Reich say

38
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: today that Kelly was limited at practice and the plan

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: for him is to ramp up his activity as the

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: week moves along. And Kelly also spoke to the media

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: today and said he had mild symptoms and fell back

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to his normal self after a few days last week.

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: But on Monday afternoon yesterday, the team plays linebacker Zaire

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: Franklin on the COVID list, So one goes off and

45
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: one is put back on, and Franklin probably will not

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: play on Saturday night against the Patriots. That's a tough

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: loss because he's heavily involved on defense and on special teams.

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: He's appeared on eighteen percent of the defensive snaps this

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: year and seventy nine percent of the special team snaps

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: where he's a captain of the team in the third phase.

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Frank Wright confirmed today also that Franklin's positive tests happened

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: as he returned from the bye while he was away

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: from the team, so there's no close contexts in terms

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: of his positive result with other Colts players looking at

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: this matchup on Sunday, Colts and Patriots, man, it's gonna

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: be a great game. The Colts have the third best

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: scoring offense in the NFL, twenty eight point five points

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: per game. The Patriots. They have the best scoring d

59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL, yielding just fifteen point four points

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: per game, and they are third in overall defense, allowing

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: just over three hundred yards per outing. The Colts have

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: won seven of their last ten. The Patriots, who are

63
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: coming off the buy just like the Colts, they've won

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: an NFL best seven straight games. The Patriots will be

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: going for their twenty seventh ten win season in franchise history,

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: and since the nineteen seventy merger, the Patriots, Steelers, and

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys are tied with twenty six ten win seasons. New

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: England's been great on the road this season as well,

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: in fact, a perfect six and ozho. They're on a

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: quest to capture their third undefeated road season in franchise history.

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: They did so back in two thousand and seven and

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen. The Colts are going to be

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: fired up for this game because they know what it

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: means for their season as they try to make the playoffs.

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: But this version of the Colts is trying to snap

76
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: an eight game losing streak to the Patriots. The Colts

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: have lost six straight regular season games and two playoff

78
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: games to the Pats, and New England has put up

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: big numbers on the Colts in that time. New England

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: has scored at least thirty points in nine straight games

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: against the Colts, including the postseason. That ties an NFL

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: record for the most consecutive games scoring thirty points against

83
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 1: an opponent. But the Colts they know it. They're fresh

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: off the by they're fresh off a shutout win in Houston,

85
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: and the defense is feeling confident facing a new England

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: team that wants to run the ball, control the clock,

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and protect their rookie quarterback and Mac Jones. We'll talk

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: about that when we come back with Colts linebacker Bobbio

89
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: Karaka who joined us coming up on the other side.

Speaker 1: are you doing well? How are we doing? I'm great,

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm great. How is your bye week? Did you get

104
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: away a little bit? Yeah? I went back to California,

105
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: Orange County, got to hang out with my mom, my

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: older sister, and really just decompressed, relax and get my

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: body right for this week. There you go. I hate

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: to ask because I probably know the answer, and I'm

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna feel pretty bad about myself. And I think a

110
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: lot of people are around here that are that are hoosiers.

111
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: But what's what's the weather out in California these days?

112
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, when I was back, it was it was

113
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: in the fifties regularly it was cold, all right, that's

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: not too bad then because around here we had the

115
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: windstorm and now it's like twenty degrees. So yeah, um,

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: with some time off, how badly did your body in

117
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: your mind need a break from football after thirteen straight games,

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: and you know the month of August with a preseason

119
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: and training camp factoring into that as well. Yeah, I

120
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: mean it was really a great week to re energize, refresh,

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of just come back, you know,

122
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: really revitalized, ready to work, ready attack. You know, we

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: got four games ahead of us. Uh. You know, it's

124
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: been a fortunate bye week for us with you know,

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: how teams are playing out and where we stand. So

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, we just try to keep by one of

127
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: the mentality and really just put all our energy into

128
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: this week. What was your balance of taking time off,

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: relaxing but also staying engaged with football knowing you've got

130
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: four really big games coming up here. Yeah. I mean

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I definitely have my iPad with me. Basically the whole

132
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: time I was back in Cali, just watching film, working

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: out a little bit, kind of just working out with

134
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: mom my sister, staying shape. But you know, my body

135
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: needed the rest, and you know now I just feel

136
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: feel great. Ready to attack. There's no doubt about that now.

137
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Bobby o'caaka is with us. You haven't missed a game

138
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: all season long. Bobby, what do you do? What is

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: your routine to take care of yourself Monday through Saturday. Yeah,

140
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I think pilates has been huge for me, whether it's

141
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, in the off season, I try to go

142
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: about once a week in the season. That's good. Um,

143
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, I try I get my two lifts in. Um,

144
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: I think I strength conditioning staff. It was a great job.

145
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: You know. I try to stand on top of my nutrition, hydration,

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: all my supplements. But yeah, I really just I feel like,

147
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, learning my body, understanding what

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: it takes, you know for me to get warmed up

149
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to play at the level I need to. So, you know,

150
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: just kind of going and growing in that area. Was

151
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it tough getting away from that for a week off?

152
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean I stayed active, sure, I mean I wasn't

153
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: really hidding weights too much, but you know, doing push ups, running, uh,

154
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: doing different hit exercises, so you know, keeping my heart

155
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: rate up. But yeah, I guess it just keep my

156
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: mind sharp, that's what That was the biggest thing that's

157
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Bobby o'kaka with us now with that week off, specifically

158
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,640

161
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: you know as a Sunday fan. But um, you know

162
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: it turned out great for us. You know, we're in

163
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the driver's seat. We're in control of our own destinies.

164
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: So you know we're fortunate for that, and you know

165
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to squander this opportunity. Is that what

166
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: you tell yourself and remind your teammates of that. Hey,

167
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: despite the slow start, right oh, in three, one and four,

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: you guys are in control of your own destiny. You

169
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: are in the driver's seat. And I know the help

170
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: was received this weekend, but now with four games left,

171
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the Colts are really in control of what the Colts

172
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: do when it's all said and done here, Yeah, I

173
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: mean football, you gotta have a short memory, really move

174
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: on to the next game, next play, and take the

175
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: lessons with you. So, you know, just looking where we're at,

176
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, all we really want is opportunity to go

177
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: to the playoffs because you know, once you get there,

178
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: single elimination, it's you know, just play your best game

179
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: and right you'll see what happens. So you know, I

180
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: think we're all just excited for the opportunity, and you

181
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: know we're just gonna keep our one of no mentality.

182
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: That's Bobby o'karak with us from your angle, How tough

183
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: is it to block out all that stuff, the scoreboard

184
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: watching and the media and the noise during the season.

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you don't want to know that

186
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: stuff or or experience that stuff, it still finds you,

187
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, it still finds you. I mean, especially

188
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: on social media, you know, a TV with fans and

189
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: all that. You know, it's it's there, and you can

190
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time and energy, you know, focusing

191
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: on it, predicting and all that. But you know, Coach

192
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Reich actually gave us a great quote in our team

193
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: meeting today from King Solomon, a guy who's read a

194
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of books on but basically, just don't chase the

195
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: wind because all that stuffs out of your control and

196
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: it's really a waste of time and energy. So you know,

197
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: just focus all your time and energy on the things

198
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: you can control, and you know things will work out. Yeah,

199
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: that's really good stuff right there. All right now, going

200
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: back before the bye week, I know the Texans, right, Bobby,

201
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not going to be confused with you know,

202
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: a juggernaut on offense. But how much confidence did that

203
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: goose egg in Houston give you in the defense? Do

204
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah? That was huge, and I think it

205
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: was just how in sync the defense stayed the whole time,

206
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, motivating each other like, come on, we can

207
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: get the suskag, let's go, let's execute, just like I

208
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: think everybody feeling that confidence that when we really play

209
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: our best ball, you know, that's where capable capable of.

210
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: So you know, keeping that the standard going forward will

211
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: be great for us. All right. When you look at

212
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots on offense, obviously they're got to buy a

213
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. They're on a seven game winning streak. They

214
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: ran the ball for over two hundred yards against the

215
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: Bills last time out, they played in that wild weather

216
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: game in Buffalo where they only had three pass attempts.

217
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: What stands out to you on the whole about the

218
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Patriots coming into this game offensively, Yeah, I mean confident group,

219
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: downhill running attack and you know you got a quarterback

220
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: back there who's managing the game well, making some good throws.

221
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: So you know, it's another great opportunity for us, and

222
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: we're truly excited. And they seem to be games specific.

223
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: And I know this is the first time you will

224
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: play the Patriots, but traditionally over the years, they seem

225
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: to be games specific more so than any other team

226
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. How tough is that on a guy

227
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: like you when you prepare for one thing during the

228
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: week and then maybe after the first or second series

229
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: during the game, you're changing and having to adapt on

230
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: the way they're attacking you on that given day. Yeah,

231
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: I think we had a great experience without in the

232
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: Bucks game, you know, having a game plan and kind

233
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: of really feeling their game plan ship and the adjustments

234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: they made. So you know, you do all this work

235
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: throughout the week, and you know, all this preparation really

236
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: to you know, help your anticipation on the field. But

237
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you gotta go out

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: there and play and play what you see. So you know,

239
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: we're all excited. Um, you know, great opportunities Saturday night

240
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: primetime football. So you know we're just gonna prepare this

241
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: week and get get ready, all right. Last couple of

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: things with Bobby o'kaark with us, And I know you

243
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: talked about this with the media earlier in the week,

244
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: but you know, you're in your third year, this is

245
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: the first time you're playing the Patriots. You come from California,

246
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, are you are you privy to the rivalry.

247
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I know, the movers and shakers, some of the big

248
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: characters in the novel, if you will, between the Colts

249
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, they've changed over the years. But how

250
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: much do you know about the rivalry and the bad blood,

251
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: if you will, between these two teams. Yeah, I guess

252
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: I just know there's blood, bad blood in the air.

253
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I mean, obviously Patriots have been

254
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: a dominant organization and you know, Colts, we've we've gone

255

Speaker 1: toe to toe with them, so um, you know, I
