Speaker 1: There's some rule changes going on in the special team's

37
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: angle of the l thoughts coming up and towards the

00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: fired up. So in honor of that, we will have

43
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: that final fourth the thing with the Colts twist on it.

44
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, We're gonna take some some of the

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: top four plays if you will from the Colts season

46
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: last year, and we're gonna see them, see who wins.

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Big plays coming up. Things will look forward to in

48
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four as well. But I said it earlier

49
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Mayte this is a big one earlier in a week

50
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: reportedly signing Julian Blackman. According to The Indie Star in

51
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: the NFL Network, among others, black Men, listen to this.

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Here's the deal mate. Forty six out of fifty games

53
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: he has started.

54
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, good player.

55
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I know he's been sitting out there on the couch

56
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: for a minute. He took some trips elsewhere and on

57
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Chris Balach said, hey, we need this guy back, but

58
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: certainly at this time with that experience in the defensive

59
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: backfield with a bunch of young guys around, not including

60
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore. Though big signing, I love it for the

61
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: leadership angle of it.

62
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it too. From the continuity standpoint, it

63
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: means one more starter is back. All eleven starters from

64
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 4: last year's defense are back. And like you said, he's

65
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: a great player when he's been healthy. You know, last

66
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: year played ninety nine percent of the snaps before the

67
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: shoulder injury on Christmas Eve, down in Atlanta and just

68
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: a leader, one of the biggest voices on the team.

69
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: He can play multiple positions, a willing tackler. I think

70
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: he's one of the best safeties in the game. I

71
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: think it's unfortunate for him that the market wasn't higher

72
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: on him, but it's good for the Colts that they

73
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: got back, and they got him back at market value.

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Hey, he's playing strong safety. Mate, who's over at free

75
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: You think.

76
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: Well, it's probably a three man race as of right now.

77
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: You've got Nick Cross, Rodney Thomas, Daniel Scott. Don't forget

78
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: about him. A draft pick last year. He was hurt

79
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: all of last season. The Colts are really high on him.

80
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: According to Chris Ballard stayed engaged all of last year

81
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: on the practice field, stayed around, took part in meetings.

82
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: You still have Ronnie Harrison. He was a safety before

83
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: the Colts moved him positionally to linebacker. He moved back

84
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 4: to safety towards the end of last year when Julian

85
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: Blackman got hurt. But no matter who's back there, the

86
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: Colts have to They've got a limit the big plays

87
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: for next season. That was kind of their undoing last year.

88
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: I'm convinced Jeffrey that if Blackman plays in Week eighteen,

89
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: that game against the Texans, I think the.

90
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: Colts are in the playoffs.

91
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: I think the Colts I think they win that game.

92
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: So getting somebody to pair with Blackman, that's going to

93
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: be a huge offseason storyline for me as the guys

94
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: getting ready to report in a couple of weeks.

95
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Now, obviously some of those positions that we were talking

96
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: about could be filled by this upcoming draft. Don't worry,

97
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: it's coming ninety three five and one oh seven. By

98
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: the fan, Let's have some fun tonight rather than what's

99
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: coming up in the April draft at the end of

100
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: the month. All right, let's play a little game here. Okay,

101
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it oh yeah, oh no. All right,

102
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. I just need answers out of you.

103
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: May take oh yeah.

104
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: It could be a ooh yeah or an oh no.

105
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: So I know we're walking a fine line here.

106
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: So I'm with you. I'm with you so far.

107
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: The youth of the cornerbacks, Okay, think about what I'm

108
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: saying there now, young players, guy like Juju Bretz. People

109
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: are leaning on them. Right. There had some injury stuff happening.

110
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: See what we got out of Jalen Jones, those young

111
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: players rather in the secondary? Okay, are they feeling about

112
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: the good about the young corners right now? And will

113
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: will there'd be some depth that's added in this upcoming draft.

114
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: So I gotta go, oh yeah or oh no.

115
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, just try it's kind of shot, all right, Yeah

116
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: that's what you're going.

117
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think I think there's a right to

118
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: feel good about those corners. But again, you know, some

119
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: strong defensive players and stud cornerbacks in the draft. They're

120
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 4: going to be pushed down to the Colts in the

121
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: middle of that first round because you're gonna have that

122
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: big run of offensive players at the top of the draft.

123
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: So there's a lot to like about Brents and Flowers

124
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: and Jones. But again I don't think that should preclude

125
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: the Colts from drafting an impact player in the secondary

126
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: if he separates himself on the Colts draft board. So

127
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 4: there's a lot of potential with those young guys, But

128
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 4: the Colts are trying to win, and they're trying to

129
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: win big in twenty twenty four. So that guy's there,

130
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 4: and you love him, let's take him.

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: Health is everywhere. If you're watching mock drafts out there,

132
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: some of the so called experts have a Colts taking

133
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: a cornerback at fifteen. So more will be revealed right here.

134
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of the draft, how about Mel Kiper. We're nearing

135
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: this draft, it's almost here, and Kuiper has said some

136
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: advice to the Colts is address the defense first, meaning

137
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: that the fifteen mark, then give Anthony Richardson another weapon

138
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: on offense. After that. Kuiper has the Colts taking a quarterback.

139
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: We just talked about it. He's one of many in

140
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: the first round who are doing that because of the

141
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: depth of the receivers in the draft, Matekee, they're everywhere. Yeah,

142
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: he's confident the Colts can find that quality wide out

143
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: in round two or beyond after snatching up the blue

144
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: chip corner in round one. You like Mel kuiper strategy,

145
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: and keep in mind he has been at odds with

146
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: some front office personnel of the Colts in years past.

147
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: The mystery there, Yeah, you might want to check that

148
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: out on.

149
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: You eighty five or something like that.

150
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: Here's my answer. Okay, I really yeah, wait a minute.

151
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: No, no, oh no.

152
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: No, I'm very much on the fence. I'm oh yeah,

153
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: I'm also oh no, I don't know where.

154
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how long can you sit on that

155
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: freaking fence. I know I'm saying it's gonna get uncomfortable.

156
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: I just think it depends on the draft board, because

157
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: I think he's right. Inevitably there's going to be some

158
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: wide receivers available with the fifteenth pick, but there's also

159
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: going to be some corners and defensive ends there too.

160
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: So to me, it just boils down to if the

161
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: Colts have a cluster of receivers with a similar grade

162
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: on them, I would probably wait until Friday to take

163
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: a receiver because there's probably not gonna be a cluster

164
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: of defenders with similar top grades on them that are

165
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: still gonna be around on day number two.

166
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, when you talk about day number two, you're

167
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: talking about rounds two and three, and on a Thursday night.

168
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: I believe it's a twenty fifth that would be the

169
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: first round, first round only.

170
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think in principle it makes sense, but

171
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: it's all about how the Colts set up that draft

172
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: board and the grades they have on those white hopes.

173
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's find it out now. Healthy Jonathan Taylor the

174
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: big uglies up front Colts offense. I'm telling you could

175
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: be scary. Now, let's step back a little bit. We're

176
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: talking about the cornerback position, one of the greatest to

177
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: play the positions for the Colts. You talk about being

178
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: coveted when he came over here from the Miami Dolphins.

179
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Vonte Davis. And unfortunately Vonte passed away

180
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: earlier this week, but so many great stories are coming

181
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: out of the locker room. My first thought was that smile,

182
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: that smile. He wasn't always gung ho to talk to

183
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: the press and stuff. Yeah, but he talked to you

184
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: off on the side and everything. He just said, Hey,

185
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show up, I'm gonna do my thing. And

186
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,559
Speaker 1: a great leader because a lot of the young guys

187
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I always remember around Vonte's locker, that's what. That was

188
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: a gathering point, that was a safe place for him.

189
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: They'd go there and sit around there during media time

190
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: or in between meetings before they took the practice field.

191
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: But that smile, that laugh, and not only that, he

192
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: was a lockdown corner mate.

193
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. The personality obviously is what rings

194
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: true first and foremost. But on the field. I just

195
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 4: remember him being dominant that twenty fourteen season, that playoff

196
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: run for the Colts all the way to the AFC

197
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 4: Championship game.

198
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: He was dominant.

199
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: He completely shut down half the field in Denver in

200
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: that Divisional round win against Peyton Manning.

201
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I looked it up.

202
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: That season Davis went twenty five straight games without giving

203
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: up a touchdown coverage. I remember just how tough he

204
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 4: was fighting through injuries. I go back to twenty sixteen.

205
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: He played banged up that entire season, only missed two

206
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: games that year. So I'm gonna remember Vonte Davis very highly.

207
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: Obviously a great professional, great player, just a great person.

208
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Rest in peace, absolutely, and thoughts and prayers are out

209
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: with the family. Obviously wish we could do more than

210
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: that and somehow have him not gone. But Vonte Davis,

211
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: you will always be remembered for the great times and

212
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: the great years you had wearing the horseshoe. Okay, when

213
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: we come back here on the last ord, we're gonna

214
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: hear from the Colts special teams coordinator Brian Mason who

215
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: reacts to the new NFL kickoff rules. Is he pulling

216
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: his hair out? Is he doing backflips. We're gonna find

217
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: out these rule changes and the strategy. It's going to

218
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: be different. And as mate said, I agree with him.

219
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: More scoring is coming. That a whole lot more right

220
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440

Speaker 1: media channels everywhere. Brian Mason, this special teams coordinator, as

238
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, is he's doing backflips as he pulling his

239
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: hair out. Who knows every team in the NFL is

240
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: now thinking about strategy, personnel, and roster construction with these

241
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: new changes in mind. So Brian Mason shared a few

242
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: thoughts earlier this week regarding the changes to the kickoffs.

243
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: He first of all said the new kickoff rule changed

244
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the personnel that he uses on kickoff return and kickoff

245
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: coverage teams from one year to the next.

246
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 5: I think you could certainly see because there's less running, right,

247
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: you could see on the kickoff team, teams using maybe

248
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 5: some of their better defensive players, maybe guys that weren't

249
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 5: normally on kickoff. They're playing more on defense because there's

250
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: less running involved, and you want to get as many

251
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: good tacklers as you can on the field, knowing that

252
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: teams are going to have more opportunities to generate returns

253
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 5: and better offensive starting field position. As you look at

254
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 5: kind of the in the XFL, you know this could

255
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: be different because there's a little bit different with the spacing.

256
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 5: But from a returner standpoint, a lot of the returners

257
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: were more like putt returners, running backs, guys that could

258
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: make guys miss in short space. You could certainly see

259
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: the return game kind of be geared more towards, you know,

260
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: instead of guys with long build up speed, guys that

261
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: are better in short space making guys miss being elusive

262
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 5: like a running back or a putt returner would be.

263
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: And you could certainly see because there's less running and

264
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 5: less drop zone, some bigger players on the kickoff return

265
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 5: team that maybe weren't on kickoff return.

266
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: In the past.

267
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Mayday he said something that's got my interest paked. Am

268
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I seeing Quentin Nelson returning kickoffs? I don't think is

269
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: that what we're talking about the Forrest Buckner, No, I don't.

270
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: I don't think he's talking about bigger personnel.

271
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: He is talking about bigger personnel, but I think it

272
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: means more more linebackers on the field. And he brings

273
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 4: up something really really intriguing right there. Do you want

274
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: your best tacklers on the field? Right that means maybe

275
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: more starters on d covering kicks because they understand leverage.

276
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: That's something you're gonna have to contend with. And also

277
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: when it comes to returning kicks. You want speed, yes,

278
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: but you also need guys Jeffrey that have good vision

279
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: that just see the game like running backs right or

280
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: you're gonna see more running backs returning kicks. So who

281
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: you have on the field both ways on the kickoff

282
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: now is going to be totally different. I think based

283
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 4: on the new structure of this play.

284
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: All right, personnel will change. According to Brian Mason here

285
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: he talks about the impact of the new kickoff rules

286
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: will have on field positions for the upcoming season.

287
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: Definitely impact offensive field position positively. So if you look

288
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 5: at the XFL and the XFL, the average starting field

289
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: position was right around the thirty yard line. Last year,

290
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 5: the average starting field position in the NFL was the

291
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 5: twenty five yard line. So already just by doing the

292
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 5: XFL model would give the offense five yards better field

293
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: position on average. Really, just talking with Sam Schwarstein, who

294
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: came up with the XFL model, and we an opportunity

295
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 5: to talk with him, he really believed that usually the

296
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: average starting the field position will be wherever that setup

297
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 5: zone kind of is. So we tweaked the XFL model,

298
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: moving the setup zone further up and the kickoff team

299
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: further up, so it's slightly different than what you would

300
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: see in the XFL model, which would mean that really,

301
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: if that were the true formula based on their XFL numbers,

302
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 5: the offensive average sern field position will be like the

303
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 5: thirty five yard line, So I'd be ten yards better

304
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 5: than what it was last year on average in the NFL,

305
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: which may lead to some teams if you know they

306
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 5: are routinely giving the ball up at the thirty five

307
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 5: yard line, they may kick more touchbacks to then bring

308
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 5: it back down to the thirty. But in some way,

309
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: shape or form, you're going to see better offensive starting

310
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 5: field position. I think with the new.

311
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Model may teke tough question to you. The average do

312
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: you think it will be more closer to the twenty

313
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: five yard line start or the forty yard line start

314
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: with these new rules, I think that's.

315
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: Going to be more like the thirty five or the

316
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: forty routinely.

317
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Okay, shorter field means more points in the way I'm

318
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: doing my mask.

319
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

320
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 4: That's like an extra first down to get yourself into

321
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: a scoring threat. That means more field goals. That means

322
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: more points, and it's expected that more than eighty percent

323
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: of kickoffs are going to be returned next year compared

324
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: to less than twenty two percent last year. So the

325
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: game just became more exciting. A boring play just became

326
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: more part of the game. It's going to be more

327
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: exciting for the fans, and I think again you're going

328
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: to see teams really prioritize getting the right returners. I

329
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: think you've got a chance to really have an edge there.

330
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: Especially again, like we talked about last week, if you're

331
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: down on the scoreboard late in the game and you

332
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: need to get into field goal range to tie the

333
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: game or to take the lead. All these games come

334
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: down to the last four minutes anyways. Now it just

335
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: became even more exciting because of potential for big plays

336
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: in this game.

337
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: It may be confusing fans, but I promise you it's

338
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: going to make for a better product. It really is,

339
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: in my opinion, with a safer product as well.

340
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: No question.

341
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: So I think it checks all the boxes for the NFL.

342
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: The game is safer you take away the high speed collisions.

343
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: It's more interesting for the fans. It's more potential for

344
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: big plays with just how fast teams can move the

345
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: ball down the field and the accuracy on long kicks

346
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: from these kickers nowadays. I think you're gonna see scoring

347
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: way up next.

348
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks really do. Thanks to coach Brian Mason for

349

Speaker 4: in Nashville.

424
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: That's that's the number one seed right there. May take

425
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: conflict of interests, you can't vote. It's going up against

426
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: it's going up against the four seed, which is Josh down.

427
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: Seals it for the Colts. When they played the Patriots

428
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: in Germany, two.

429
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: Minutes and fifty two seconds to go in the fourth quarter,

430
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: Colts leave by four.

431
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: They need here thirty six? Then't you looking left?

432
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 4: Good protection in his own zone, dancing, going to his

433
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 4: right pro's office back foot Downfield has.

00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: A man who died football, who makes the crab the

435
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: cult heaven.

436
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: With just Downs? Are you pitting me? Gardner?

437
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: Mitchu, he're a rock star and just Downs with the

438
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: best bets.

439
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 6: Of a young career for a first down across the

440
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 6: thirty yard line.

441
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: Josh Downs will be dangerous this year, showcase, Valuay. What

442
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: do you like the number one seed with Pittman's walk

443
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: off in Nashville or Josh Downs sealing it in Germany?

444
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 6: You know that Josh Downs call gives me chills every

445
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 6: time because I remember sitting here and waiting.

446
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 3: TV was behind, I was watching.

447
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 6: But I think I got to give the nod to

448
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 6: Michael Pittman just because of what it all means. I mean,

449
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 6: Michael Pittman gets the big contract, he is your guy.

450
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 6: I think I give the nod to mind.

451
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: All right, number one seed moves on. Now we got

452
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: the two taking onto three, mate, This one was a

453
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: good one. The number two seed Matt Gabe, the historic

454
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: day and game winner in Baltimore.

455
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: He'll put it down at the forty three yard line.

456
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 4: So this again is a fifty three yard field goal

457
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 4: from Matt Gabe.

458
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: It's between the hash marks. Sanchez will put it down.

459
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 3: Luke Rhodes will snap it measuring the kick. Is Gay

460
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 3: waiting on the long step? There? It is placement. Kick

461
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 3: is on its way, It has the distance, it's up.

462
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: It's good ball game.

463
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: Why indeed?

464
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Why? Hey, that's gonna be tough to be right there?

465
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: Great call, mate, that's the two seed Matt Gay making

466
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: history and getting the game winner in Baltimore. It's going

467
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: up against the number three seed and that was Anthony

468
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: Richardson's when he exploded in Houston and running right side?

469
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: Is Anthony Richardson faked the reverse, turns the corner.

470
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: He's in touchdown? Touchdown?

471
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 6: Hi?

472
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: Indeed?

473
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: Why three rushing touchdowns in the first two games for

474
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson.

475
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: He faked the reverse and then took.

476
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: It off right side into the end zone from fifteen

477
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 4: yards out. And the Colts have two touchdowns on their

478
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: first two drives of the game.

479
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: Mate, you're giving me chicken skin. I'm getting all excited

480
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: over here listening to those calls.

481
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: I those were six months ago.

482
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: No, I didn't excite case. What do you think you like?

483
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: Matt Gay's historic day with the winner in Baltimore. Do

484
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: you like Richardson when he had the big day in Houston?

485
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna go with Richardson because of what

486
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 6: it means down the road, you get a glimpse of

487
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 6: what the future might look for.

488
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: So I'm going Richards's apologies to Matt Gay and his

489
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: entire family, because Casey, you butchered this one. Pal. I'm

490
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: just telling you on the call alone. Okay, here we go.

491
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: So that means Anthony Richardson exploding in Houston. That moves on.

492
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: It's going up against Michael Pittman's walk off TD in Nashville.

493
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: And for the final, here we go, Mayte, it's up

494
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: to the Casey value. Give us it. You've got a

495
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: one play in a three seed right here in honor

496
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: of Purdue. What do you like?

497
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the three seed and Anthony Richardson

498
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 6: because you know how important the quarterback spot is. If

499
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 6: we have more of that, I think that is what

500
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 6: the future is gonna hold.

501
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: So I'm going aar.

502
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: You like Connecticut too, don't you? I like purduees?

503
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

504
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Don't you look at you there? Don't you?

505
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: Well?

506
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 6: See see if you want to play in that way.

507
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 6: Yukon was the number one overall seed. Perdue was the

508
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 6: third number one seed of the tournament. So I'm gonna

509
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 6: go Purdue. Anthony Richards say, that's great.

510
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: May take by the way, great calls, Pal. I could

00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: done on you. Sorry you couldn't vote again. Conflicts of interest, but.
