00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots coming up, How was your Thanksgiving?

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: It was a pretty good.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 3: It was fantastic, Casey. Great day of eating and sitting.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 4: On the couch watching football and trying not to fall

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: asleep and just barely succeeding and not falling asleep because

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: I wanted.

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 3: To go to bed on time.

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, it was great.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: And it finally kind of feels like winter. There's some

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 4: snow today and I like that for my Thanksgiving.

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: So no, it was. It was a very good Thanksgiving

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: for me. How is your Thanksgiving?

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 4: Oh?

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: It was great.

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 5: I mean I'm a big family person, so being able

22
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 5: to see multiple families and saw my wife's side, and

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 5: then we went and saw my dad's, my mom's side.

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: All lives way down south.

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 5: So typically that's like either we do a Thanksgiving or

26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 5: a Christmas with them, So you know, it was mainly

27
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 5: just my dad's side, but always great to have family

28
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 5: in town. And you know, we all ate way too

29
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 5: much food and watched a lot of football and questioned

30
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 5: everything that Chicago Bears did and that attempted to try

31
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 5: and beat the Lions. So this morning, so that that

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 5: we did, that was a little you know, it's one

33
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 5: of those things with Mattie Reflus and his ties to Indianapolis.

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 5: We're a little sad because we loved matt but that

35
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 5: was a head scratcher to say the least, that's for sure.

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of a couple throughout those games.

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: We saw yesterday. Yes, yes, I would agree.

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving football, What are you?

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: That's literally what I always say that I'm like, Yet

40
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, this is Thanksgiving football, this.

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: Is what you come to expect.

42
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 5: Well, I want to dive into this upcoming game against

43
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: the Patriots because you know, for me, I get the

44
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 5: luxury of being at home and just following you today

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: because you're the one that's got boots on the ground

46
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: inside the building. So once first I got to say

47
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 5: I appreciate you being there and kind of taking the course.

48
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: For every one of us, but there was a lot

49
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: of news we got today.

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 5: Shane Sikin spoke to the media and essentially offensively, heading

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: into this game, there's a handful of players to rule out.

52
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 5: We're going to kind of dive into it kind of

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 5: as position groups. So first off, he rules out Braydon

54
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: Smith and Tanner Port leading Tanner order leining.

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: We kind of knew that heading into the week.

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: Braiden Smith kind of a shock, but Tanner borderlining and

57
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: concussion protocol. How different do you think this offensive line

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 5: is going to be. It seems like it's a weekend

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 5: week out revolving door.

60
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: It is. Yeah, it does feel like a revolving door.

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: The good news is that this mean while it might

62
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: have closed for those two guys, it's open for Bernard

63
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: Ryman to come back, which is a very good sign.

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 4: Talk to him very brief briefly in the locker room,

65
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: and he said that he was super excited to finally

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: get back out there.

67
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: It's been kind of frustrating for him the last two weeks.

68
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: And he talked about how important it is and pitch

69
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: or else to talk about this.

70
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: Who is expected to.

71
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: Come in for Tanner Pordolini and center about how much

72
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: they've kind of stressed how giving the backups opportunities in

73
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: practice and giving them snaps and letting them get acquainted

74
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: to kind of what the offense is going to look like,

75
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 4: because they did. Neither Braiden or Tanner participated in any

76
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: of the three practices this week, So to some extent,

77
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 4: Braiden is dealing with a personal matter, but to some extent,

78
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: it felt like this was maybe this was on the

79
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: table for him not playing, So it's not like it's

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: necessarily he woke up Friday morning and they're like, oh my.

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: Gosh, he's not going to play. So they've been able

82
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: to kind of prepare for this.

83
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: But I think it just goes back to that room

84
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: and just the entire offensive line just being prepared no

85
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: matter what. And so it definitely is going to be

86
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: a shakeup, but it's not like they haven't dealt with

87
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: shakeups before, and their mentality always seems to be in

88
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: the right place. And that's at this point, I feel

89
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: like maybe all you can ask for from some of

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: these guys until they get out on the field is

91
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: to just do everything you can off the field and

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: get all your repsent in practice and go out and

93
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: kind of see what happens.

94
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 5: No, absolutely, and that's one of the things that I

95
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 5: think we would all agree that the shuffling of the

96
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: offensive line, you've really only seen, you know, some bits

97
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: and pieces of games where you've noticed the shuffle. I

98
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: think for the most part, when you look at the rookies,

99
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 5: you throw in Tanner, who's seen substantial time. I know

100
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 5: he's going to miss this week, but Dalton Tucker and Malcolnzalvez,

101
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: they've really played very well for rookies.

102
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: And Danny Pinners laying you know, I mean, he's a

103
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: veteran guy.

104
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: He started a handful of games in this league, so

105
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 5: it's not like you lose a lot with Danny as

106
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: far as that experience goes so great Ultimately they've been

107
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: able to kind of roll with the punches and everybody

108
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: has been doing nothing but giving praise to Tony Berano

109
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 5: has done such a great job of that line.

110
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 4: Yeah. One, and again, it's just it's their preparation and

111
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: they all believe in each other. They're a very tight

112
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: knit group, as all of these rooms are, and you

113
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: know it's now we just kind of go out and

114
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: see what happens. Against Patriots on Sunday.

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, and we're really excited. I'm glad you

116
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: brought up Ryan and glad to get you back.

117
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 5: It's been one of those things that you talk about

118
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: the injury he's still with the last couple of weeks

119
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 5: and the concussion before it, so it's kind of been

120
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: in and out and it's been a tough one for him.

121
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 5: I'm sure to catch the momentum, but sticking there offensively.

122
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 5: He also ruled out a couple of players on the

123
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: receiver group. We got Josh Downs and Ashton Doolan. We

124
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: knew about Downs early on in the week that it

125
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: was reported he was going to miss some time. Doolan

126
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: left the game was ruled out last week. So that

127
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: was definitely one of those things it kind of anticipated

128
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 5: that there could be a chance. Boy, you really start

129
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 5: getting into that depth there in the receiver group, you know,

130
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: guys like Ady Mitchell really gonna have to step up.

131
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 5: I'm anxious to see if you know, maybe you see

132
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: Anthony Gould, you know, be activated again. He's been on

133
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: the active roster but been inactive for the last handful

134
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 5: of weeks. So you know, with a couple of you know,

135
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 5: Josh Downs kind of fits a similar bowl with Gould Doolan.

136
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 5: You know that Ady Mitchell can probably slide in there.

137
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: So I don't know how much you really have to

138
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 5: shuffle because these guys are taking those weekend and week

139
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 5: out reps. But when you lose a guy like Josh

140
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: Ashton Dueling, it's definitely some big shoes to fill.

141
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's both of those I see as fairly big blows.

142
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: We know how talented this receiver room is, and so

143
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: I don't think it's to say that the confidence and

144
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: what they're.

145
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: Going to be able to do has decreased.

146
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: It's just going to change a lot because you're missing

147
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: We all have seen what Josh Downs can do, and

148
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: he's very individual and what he can do and how

149
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: he connects with Anthony Richardson. And then I mean Ashton

150
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: Dulan on special teams too, has been having an incredible.

151
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: Year in that role alone, and the role.

152
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 4: That he plays in blocking, especially as a wide receiver

153
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: I think is going to be a little bit more

154
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: difficult to replace, maybe, but again it's Michael Piman, junr

155
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: Alec Pierce, Adi Mitchell has been coming into his own

156
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: and then the other two, we've seen them kind of

157
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 4: flash and be very productive throughout the season. So it

158
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: is like you mentioned, it's I'm going to be curious

159
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 4: to see if Anthony Gold comes out and has a little.

160
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: Bit more of a role too.

161
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: But what those those three guys I mentioned before, I mean,

162
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: they've been very consistent in the last few weeks and

163
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: what they've been doing, so it'll be it'll be interesting

164
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: to see how things shape up. I think a lot

165
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: of people are hoping maybe for an Ady Mitchell breakout game, if.

166
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: You will, because you also think about Pittman.

167
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 4: Has he's practiced, he's been full this week, but we

168
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: know that he is dealing with that knack injury, and

169
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: so there's I feel like maybe that underlying question of

170
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: he's gonna play, but you might not always know exactly

171
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen and exactly what's gonna what's gonna be

172
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 4: going on. And Alec Peerce didn't practice for two days

173
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: this week too with an ankle injury, so it's just

174
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: there there. I think there might be a little a

175
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: lot of questions that will be kind of keeping an

176
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: eye on those guys this weekend, and we're just gonna

177
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: have to see it.

178
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you'd mentioned Pittman.

179
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: He also had that shoulder that happened last week too,

180
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: So it just seems like there's one thing after another

181
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 5: with him, and he is you know, as Shane has said,

182
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: we've heard other guys in the locker room talk about

183
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 5: how touugh he is. You don't ever question the toughness.

184
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: But at some point all those things start to add up.

185
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: It's gonna make some of your play a little bit.

186
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: I mean, he had a great game last week over

187
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: ninety yards or silly, so I mean, that's what Pittman does.

188
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: But it's one of those things.

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: You got to keep that in the back of your

190
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 5: mind and that probably does open the door for a

191
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: guy like Adian Mitchell to.

192
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Get a little bit more run.

193
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 5: Defensively, it sounds like the Colts are going to be good,

194
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 5: and that's gonna be a big test because you go

195
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: in taking on a new England team with a rookie quarterback.

196
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 5: He's been turnover prone. The Patriots just haven't been able

197
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: to really get much going. So I think that is

198
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: a big thing heading into this weekend. Going in, you know,

199
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: if you will full strength, whatever full strength means week thirteen.

200
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: But that's kind of where you are, and that's always

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: a positive note heading.

202
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 4: On the road. Yeah, if your defense can kind of

203
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: run the game in a way, and not to say

204
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: that they should be out on the field for an

205
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 4: extended period of time like we've seen them be forced too,

206
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: but if they if they can control a little bit

207
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: more and maybe take some of the pressure off of

208
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: the wide receivers and off of the offense. I do

209
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: wonder if maybe this is the game where we might

210
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 4: see a little bit more tight end.

211
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: Action given the wide receivers. But who knows. I'm not gonna,

212
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: you know, jump to make any play calls.

213
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm not.

214
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: I'm not on that side of the building.

215
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 5: The thing about you not playing, I know that this

216
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 5: weekend you are traveling out there.

217
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: I am, You're gonna be boots on the ground in

218
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: New England. Yes, real quick on that.

219
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: How excited are you to kind of cover it from

220
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: that side, because you know, I know you're you're.

221
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: From Maine, correct, I am, Yes, I'm from.

222
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be pretty cool to be in a

223
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: stadium like that.

224
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I so I've never been to JILT. Okay, this

225
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: is fun.

226
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: Fact Lucas Oil is actually the only NFL stadium I've

227
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 4: ever been to in person because I never went.

228
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: I never went to an.

229
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: NFL game in person before this year, so it was

230
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: I think we would watch them on TV. My family

231
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: is not a big like NFL, and like, we wouldn't

232
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: go in person just.

233
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: Because of how rowdy and everything they are.

234
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, I've never never been, but watched a lot

235
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: of games on TV.

236
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm super excited.

237
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 4: I'm very very grateful to JJ who he reached out

238
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago.

239
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: He was like, Hey, I got you approved to travel

240
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: to New England if that's okay with you. He was like,

241
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: of course, that's okay with me. Like you think I'm

242
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 3: gonna say no, I don't have anything going on.

243
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the game from Indy, so

244
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: I might might as well.

245
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: And so my my immediate family, my parents and my

246
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: brother are about two and a half hours away, so

Speaker 4: they're going to come up and see me on Saturday,

248
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: which is nice because I couldn't see them for Thanksgiving

249
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: obviously because I'm here. So no, it's going to be

250

Speaker 4: very fun weekend. I'm super excited to be able to

251
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 4: cover an away game in person too. I think it's

252
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: going to be a very different experience obviously than doing

253
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: it here at Lucas Oil.

254
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,160

255
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: No, that'll be really really cool.

256
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 5: And that's I mean, I didn't know that part about

260
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: And then a couple of weeks ago JJ with a

261
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 5: little early Christmas thanks to.

262
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: J J.

263
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: I guess that's why I'm already to fill in today.

264
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, well apparently he told so my one of my professors,

265
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: Mike Wells, had a group of students come up to

266
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: cover the Colts Versus Bills game, and I those students

267
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: are also my friends, and apparently JJ told them that

268
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: he was gonna get me approved for this game, and he.

269
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: Said that they were sworn to secrecy.

270
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: And so because I told one of my friends yesterday

271
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: and she was like, oh, yeah, I knew about that

272
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 4: three weeks ago, it's like, oh great. So that it

273
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: was very funny, but nice to know that he had

274
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: it all kind of planned out.

275
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, JJ, man, I didn't know he had this

276
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: in him. I'm impressed, man, JJ, do a good work. Well,

277
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm really really excited for you to

278
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 5: go on the road. I have been to one road

279
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 5: game now simply, I'm just like you. I cover everything here.

280
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: I went to the Bengals game this year for preseason.

281
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: I covered everything on the road. That was pretty cool.

282
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: So I'm looking forward to seeing you know how you

283
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: feel everything out when I talk to you next week.

284
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'll go with death on Monday. Don't worry

285
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: about it.

286
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 5: Sounds good, all right, And that is going to do

287
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 5: it for a day's two Minute Drill podcast. The Colts

289
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 5: that'll be a one o'clock kick. Hopefully the Colts can

290
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 5: get a victory heading into their bye week. But once again,
