Speaker 1: am joined weekend and week out. Well, actually last week

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't, but sort of weekend in week out.

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 4: That's right.

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: We did have a little Christmas traveler Jay JJ Sekwit says,

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: and by the way, you're right on that. We have

19
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: no idea what day it is. Lara Lara Olverton here,

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: Latte Lara is here. Quick recap of what's going on.

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Let me just start with you. We saw a lot

22
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: happen the must win scenario against Vegas. We saw the

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen the fan came out, they were loud at

24
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: the right time. You were on the sidelines, JJ, you

25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 3: were the voice of God over the thing that stayed

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: in with that playoff, Yes, sort of you know, knowing

27
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: of what's going on and getting in the lead, playing

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: the way that they should protect this house type of thing.

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: That was great for what we've seen because guys, weeks

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: ago we couldn't win a game at home, and now

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, nobody wants to come in here.

32
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 6: Well, when you walked in on Sunday morning, you felt

33
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 6: like there was a palpable just added focus from like

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 6: all of the guys because we're there when they're all

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 6: coming in and the tunnel certainly there's always a good

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 6: energy about it, but you could tell that it was

37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 6: the magnitude was felt of the implications of that particular game,

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 6: and you know, they really conducted themselves like it just

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 6: seemed like that there was just a seriousness. They were

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 6: just so locked in all day long and paid off

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 6: with of course the start you got to that game.

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 6: But yeah, I mean, all around, it was such an

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: incredible environment and it was really fun on the sidelines

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 6: to see guys, you know, reacting to some of those

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 6: explosive catches, explosive plays in the passing game with Josh

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 6: downs and Alex Peerce, the return of Michael Pittman Junior.

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 6: That was just such I think, an emotional like kind

48
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 6: of you know, punch in the arm to some degree

49
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 6: to hear him come back out of or sear him

50
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 6: announced running back out of the tunnel again. That certainly

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 6: elevated this offense. You know, defensively, my gosh, when you

52
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 6: don't have Kenny Moore right he's announced as he's being

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 6: he's inactive right before kickoff, and you think the task

54
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 6: at hand for guys like Jaylen Jones and Juju Brnz

55
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 6: Juji brnt, it's such a phenomenal date and it's like, wait,

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 6: who's going to play the nickel Chris Lamons, you know,

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 6: stepping in. So I thought that defensively you got such

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 6: you know, great complimentary play from all facets of your

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 6: defense there that was necessary up against the task you

60
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 6: had with Vegas.

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 5: Just it was so much fun.

62
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 6: And then it's a short week, and I actually think

63
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 6: that the short week to me plays into the favor

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 6: of this team to carry off the momentus that you

65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 6: built at home on Sunday afternoon and it's so recent

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 6: in your minds having played that Saturday afternoon game against

67
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh Steelers, which worked in your favor, right, So

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 6: I think that you're able to kind of go back

69
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 6: to that playbook of what did we do that week

70
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 6: against the Steelers and you know, quickly jump right into that.

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: I think that that's going to be something that's really

72
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 5: beneficial for this team.

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 6: I like the fact that, of course you lose that day,

74
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 6: which is tough, but for this team, I think you

75
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 6: got to, you know, try to keep writing the momentum

76
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 6: as much as possible and continue that through going into

77
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 6: Saturday night.

78
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Can I get greedy here for a minute and just

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: really quick just touch on this. I want you know,

80
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm a greedy dude, and so are we. Hopefully now

81
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: we're saying, hey, winning, you're in, Winning, You're in. Does

82
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: anybody fear like that Tennessee can't knock off Jacksonville and

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: this team take a huge weirder things about No, That's

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, we're talking about this weird this

85
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: week being weird, what about potentially next week?

86
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 7: So okay, so the Colts win Saturday night, we are

87
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 7: all going to be watching the Jaguars Titans game. For

88
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 7: the TV executives for the love of everything, put that

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 7: game on here. I'm gonna be on five oh six

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 7: Sports that coverage map site, just being like, is that

91
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 7: game on? Because sometimes you get these weird I.

92
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 6: Subscribed the red zone. I just just got Yeah, I

93
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 6: just did that. I'm usually not home to enjoy it

94
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 6: on Sunday, you know.

95
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 7: But the easiest TV layup of all time is put

96
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 7: that game on in Indianapolis anyways, offense is that Sunday

97
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 7: one o'clock on day one o'clock? Okay, why Ryan Tannehill

98
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 7: is starting that game with the Titans. Will Levis is hurt?

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 7: That to me gives Tennessee a better chance to win.

100
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 7: Ryan Tannehill going out this probably is last game in

101
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 7: Tennessee with Mike Vrabel, who you know is going to

102
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 7: come in with just a pain in the butt plan

103
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 7: for that Jaguars offense that kind of hit a little

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 7: get right game against Carolina. CJ. Bethird, Trevor Lawrence is

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 7: probably healthier. No one's counting out the Titans, right, and

106
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 7: we shouldn't. We're getting ahead of ourselves because for that

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 7: game to even matter here in Indianapolis, the Colts got

108
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 7: to win. But if you're going to get greedy. We're

109
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 7: looking at if the Titans beat the Jaguars, after the

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 7: Colts beat the Texans, we are back at Lucas Oil

111
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 7: Stadium for a third straight week, hosting the Cleveland Browns.

112
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 7: How about that in the wild card round of the playoffs?

113
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I couldn't even think about that. But literally,

114
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: that's the craziness of one week. That's what we're looking at.

115
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Talking about the buzz going around the NFL. Who wants

116
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: to play the Colts and Gardner.

117
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 6: Minshew, Well, I mean in the season of what has

118
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 6: been the backup quarterback you just mentioned CJ. Bethard and

119
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 6: Ryan Tannehill and you know that crazy situation you know,

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 6: all across our division alone, Joe Flacco and Cleveland. Yep,

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 6: how wild of a storyline is that. I think cleveland'sd

122
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 6: four different quarterbacks this season.

123
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 7: Think that the fact that Joe Flacco might dethrone Damar

124
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 7: Hamlin for Comeback Player of the Year, right, that's no

125
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 7: one could have even thought it would be possible for

126
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 7: someone to do that because Damar Hamlin literally died on

127
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 7: a football field and came back and played football. But

128
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 7: what Joe Flacco's doing is like kind of merit some

129
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 7: consideration over.

130
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: That BRANCHI I sort of died and he kind of

131
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: gave them the little CPR back in. I mean, yeah,

132
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: it is an incredible story. It is well JJ real quick.

133
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: Lara mentioned it briefly on this why is this in

134
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: our favor? The short week type of thing as far

135
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: as being in week eighteen of an NFL season, knowing

136
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 3: how the knicks and bumps and bruises and everything, Yeah,

137
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: take an extra day or two for these veterans to

138
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: get healthy.

139
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 7: I think it is just more like everyone's locked in.

140
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 7: You don't have the you know, the off day. Yes,

141
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 7: that's good for rest and recovery certainly, but I think everyone,

142
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 7: just like Shaneestiken said it in his postgame victory speech

143
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 7: that we posted on our social channels and Colts dot com,

144
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 7: like this has to be the best week of preparation

145
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 7: of your life, and now there's no break. It's like

146
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 7: you're back in here on Monday, Tuesday, we're having a

147
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 7: walk through. Wednesday, Thursday, practice Friday kind of our our

148
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 7: last little preparations, our last little light walk through, whatever

149
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 7: it may be. And then Saturday we go and there's

150
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 7: just there's no break in there, and I think that's

151
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 7: almost good. I think you just you get right into it.

152
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 7: You don't have any downtime, and it is just all

153
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 7: about how do we beat the Houston Texans.

154
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: And a good thing about it is Jonathan Taylor back

155
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: in the mix obviously after Missiontipe.

156
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was huge for him to get near one

157
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: hundred yards rushing. I thought was such a significant game

158
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: for him, just a significant effort. And the way that

159
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: this offensive line set you up in that game as well,

160
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 6: not just for Jonathan Taylor, but man, you saw that

161
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 6: twenty seven yard by Trey Sermon as well. I thought

162
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 6: offensive line play was top tier, and you really did

163
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 6: see some of those like flashes of you know.

164
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 5: JT at full speed, full strength, full health.

165
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 6: So that's really encouraging because I mean, this is the

166
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 6: point where you need your playmakers, You need your top

167
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 6: tier effort from Pitt, from JT, from Buck Grove, Zaire,

168
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 6: like all of those every single Gardner Minshew of course

169
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: as well, like everybody is gonna have to play their

170
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: best ball the season on Saturday night, and I thought

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 6: that there were great indications of that in a lot

172
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 6: of complimentary pieces.

173
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not alone here, and I'm not saying for

174
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: you to, I'm not putting words in your mouth, but

175
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: I am looking at this camera and this microphone and

176
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: telling you I did not have this Indianapolis Colts football

177
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: team making the playoffs this year, even with the fourth

178
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: overall pick Anthony Richardson. I know it's a tall order

179
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: for rookies to come in and do well, not that

180
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: they haven't in the past, but hey, I'm not eating

181
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: crow here. I'm saying, boy, how exciting it is because

182
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm alone Colts fans out there. I

183
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: know anything can happen on any given Sunday, but to

184
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: get to a double digit win season right now, you

185
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: talk about storylines in this NFL, That's where we're at

186
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: one afternoon is going to shape potentially the legacy of

187
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: this franchise even more so because, Hey, a chip in

188
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: a chair meaning if you've got, you know, one chip

189
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: left that you can still gamble with, meaning you're still alive.

190
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Anything can happen in the NFL playoffs, and that's what

191
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: we're at, and we've been missing it there. We've been

192
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: missing this around here for so long, and we're where's

193
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: our quarterback? Where's our quarterback, Andrew? Where's our quarterback? Gardner? Minshew,

194
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: thank you, come on in. Hey. I was in the

195
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: flower bed in the backyard. My phone rang and they

196
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: say you want to play some quarterback? And yeah, yeah,

197
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: I'll go there and go ahead and do it. That's

198
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: what we're looking that right now. That's why I love

199
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: this storyline of this Golds team.

200
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 7: But even even if the Saturday doesn't go the way

201
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 7: that we want, Colts don't win, this team is set

202
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 7: up so well in twenty twenty four for success with

203
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 7: the pieces that are in place and the potential to

204
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 7: add more, whether it's through free agency, trades, the NFL Draft,

205
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 7: Because you've got you've got the head coach figured out

206
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 7: and coming back next year. You got a quarterback who

207
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: remember what Chris Ballard told us on that podcast during

208
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 7: the bye week that we think we know enough about

209
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 7: him to know how to build around him. Right now,

210
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 7: that all doesn't matter. But I'm just saying, like going forward,

211
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 7: I'm going to be insufferable talking to people about the

212
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 7: Colts in like June, Like, guys, this team they're going

213
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 7: to be really good just at parties, at family events,

214
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 7: PARTI people who aren't Colts fans parties.

215
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: You're dead with a couple of kids parties. Oh okay, okay,

216
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: I thought you meant all nighters.

217
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: I can't even look that far ahead because I get

218
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 6: so attached, especially this year, and have with all of it.

219
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 6: This locker room, this roster has gone through where I

220
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 6: think at the end of the season, no matter how.

221
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 5: Far you go, that locker room looks different.

222
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 6: There are gonna be guys who are important pieces of

223
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 6: this team, who have been important pieces of putting this

224
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 6: team in this position right now, who aren't gonna be here.

225
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 6: So for me, I'm like trying to not look too

226
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 6: far ahead and not think about like, of course the

227
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 6: future is really bright, but my gosh, the guys who

228
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 6: are here now deserve this so much for all that

229
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 6: they have fought through. Anything about guys who are in

230
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: contract years obviously, and it's you can't. I mean, it's

231
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: not feasible to bring everybody back. You know, what's the

232
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 6: situation with some of those guys and Nevie, they are

233
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 6: gonna be trades and different things like that. So that's

234
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 6: one thing for me that while we are so optimistic

235
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 6: and the future is so exciting, man, don't take for

236
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 6: granted with this group has done and how special this

237
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: group is, and the fact that you know that some

238
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 6: of those unfortunately will not be cults when the twenty

239
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 6: three four season kicks off.

240
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, there is there's gonna be new face

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: here and the old faces were waving goodbye to so

242
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: anyway here and now eight point fifteen Saturday night. You

243
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: do a great job on the sidelines. You do a

244
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: great job again over it. It's important I say this

245
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: week in a week out, you're you're one of the

246
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: guys that's stirring that drink a little bit because we

247
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: need those sixty plus thousand fans behind us, especially in

248
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: a playoff atmosphere. So good luck. I'm gonna take a

249
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: sidebar here really quick for a second, ask Clara the

250
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: medical tent and the sideline reporter. Okay, Jonathan Taylor goes

251
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: into the blue tent, right are you right around there? Sniffin?

252
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 3: I mean, are you waiting outside of the zipper to

253
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: kind of get the update of it and do you

254
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: have any idea what's going on in there as far

255
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: as over the course of about two three four minutes.

256
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 6: That's all great, that's a great questions all around.

257
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: I don't know what's happening inside the tent.

258
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: Can you hear anything?

259
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 5: No, it's too loud and everything. You really can't.

260
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 6: And even still, like anything that I would hear, I

261
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 6: wouldn't be able to report, right, that's still confidential things.

262
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: See if I pick up on something.

263
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 6: Wouldn't be necessarily reportable information. But what I'll do is, Okay,

264
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 6: what was the most recent play that happened on the

265
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 6: field that player was involved in. What was the demeanor

266
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 6: or the exchange when he comes over to the sideline.

267
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 6: What are they taking a look at while they're on

268
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 6: the sideline, then they go into the tent and what

269
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 6: happens after. So you're deducing a lot based on those

270
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 6: bits of information that they're gathering. But while they're in

271
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 6: the tent, No, but there are certain tells where you

272
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 6: know you have the independent neurological consultant, if he's involved.

273
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: You can obviously talk about the fact that, okay, he

274
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 6: is in there. You can't say, oh, they're valuating for

275
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 6: a concussion, but you do know, okay, he's in there.

276
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 5: So that's a component of it.

277
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 6: That's a bit of information that you can glean based

278
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 6: on just being in proximity to everything that's going on.

279
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: All right, Well, that's interesting. People have asked me about

280
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: that before throughout the season, like how close does Lara

281
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: get and how much information and when does she get that?

282
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: And obviously it's run by the PR department of the

283
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: Colts obviously of what they want to release. Anyway, that's

284
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: just a little selfish sidebar. Thank you for that update

285
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: right now. But we're talking about importantly.

286
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 6: I don't have many medical time updates on Saturday night.

287
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: Hopefully that's few and fire between.

288
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: We were all holding our breath at that point, by

289
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: the way, after JT's having a heck of a game,

290
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, not the tent, but anyway, and

291
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: important also too.

292
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: I'll explain this as well.

293
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 6: It doesn't indicate the severity of an injury. If a

294
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 6: player goes into the tent. That's never necessarily show oh

295
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 6: this is oh this is bad, or this is something

296
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 6: more serious. It can just be that there is a

297
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 6: level of confidentiality or a level of kind of security

298
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 6: that you need, especially if they might be trying to

299
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 6: like you know, maybe you're reinforcing and putting some sort

300
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 6: of a brace or you know, a sleeve or a

301
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: cuff on something, so we might have to take pads off,

302
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 6: different things like that. So it's also something where that

303
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily mean that's a bad thing for that player,

304
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: or this injury is more severe than something that they

305
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 6: may tend to directly on the side.

306
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 7: All right, Less, sideline reporters do really important work. It

307
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: does a fantastic job. Yeah, absolutely, a lot of information

308
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 7: that you could get totally lost. You could just you know,

309
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 7: be paying attention to something else and totally miss it.

310
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 7: But you don't miss anything, thank you.

311
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 6: I mean, at one point too, like defense was out

312
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 6: on the field and I was switching positions and saw

313
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: that Ryan Kelly was getting his ankle looked at on

314
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 6: the sideline. And then Ryan didn't come out immediately at halftime.

315
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 6: He was able to get get treated in attention at

316
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: halftime and then came in.

317
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: But you know you're watching that because.

318
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 6: I knew that Ryan's ankle was looked at late in

319
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: the second quarter, then was looking on the sideline and

320
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 6: West French was warming up just in case. But Ryan

321
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 6: came back out plenty of time, clearly, just needed a

322
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 6: little bit more time to do the tape job.

323
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: And the reinforcement that they need on it.

324
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 6: But it's important for personnel standpoint, it's important to relate

325
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 6: to Matt and Rick.

326
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: Hey, it looks like, you know, Wesley French is in

327
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: at center.

328
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 6: Are different things like that, because they're navigating so many

329
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 6: things up there, So anytime that I can help them

330
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 6: with bits and pieces of things that are going on,

331
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 6: and also too can help as to the severity of Okay,

332
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 6: we knew.

333
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: This, This wasn't something just popped up.

334
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: He had the ankle taped prior to halftime, likely correlating

335
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 6: to that.

336
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 5: And you're able to kind of paint.

337
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: The picture, especially on radio for those who aren't watching

338
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 6: a television broadcast.

339
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but speaking of television broadcast, Lera does a great

340
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: job for a preseason on TV. I fell in on

341
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: the sidelines on radio and Taylor will throw to me

342
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: and ask him. This year, it's like a couple of

343
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: times it looks like a player down. Who is that

344
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: Gorman down there? Not a clue? Can't see you come

345
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: back to me, Matt.

346
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 6: Sorry, you know no, sometimes you can't know, like the

347
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 6: guy's lying down.

348
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: Or you know he's done that twice and he's like,

349
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean just at preseason and he's like, do you

350
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: see who's got the ball? Do you see it? I'm like, Matt,

351
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: all I'm seeing is like the back of dio a

352
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: dangbo right now, and I can't see it the game.

353
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 6: Man.

354
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: It's like, but you do a great job. That's a product,

355
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: ikpiate anyway, you know, and good heads up there because

356
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: we have the best in the business with these two. Okay,

357
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: important season, significant season. Let's try something here, and this

358
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: is this is a JJ sank of its production, and

359
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: I love it.

360
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 5: I do like this.

361
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: I love it. It's the draft. It's the significant draft.

362
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: It's not the VIP draft, it's not the most important,

363
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: but it's the significance draft. If I think that's accurate when

364
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: we're talking about I'm going to start to my right.

365
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 7: So it's the most significant, Oh, well, coaching player, coaching

366
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 7: staff or players most significant to a successful season, this

367
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 7: one being twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four.

368
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: And we'll start with Larra on this. Lara, I think

369
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: JJ and I were talking before we went on. I

370
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: think I know who's at the top of the list.

371
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: So go ahead. As far as significance.

372
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: Goes, no question about it for me. Shane Stikeen.

373
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: Shane Stikeen right there, undisputed number one overall.

374
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 6: Pick the job that he has done as a first

375
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 6: year head coach, enduring, enduring everything that he has.

376
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: Over the course of this year.

377
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 6: It's absolutely incredible because one thing you know is each

378
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 6: and every week these guys are you know, he's going

379
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 6: to have them ready.

380
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: You're going to get top tier effort out of these guys.

381
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 6: It's been incredible to watch him mold this team since

382
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 6: he took over in February, build this team to what

383
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 6: they are.

384
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's change.

385
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 7: When when the cole tired Shane stike In in February,

386
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 7: Chris Ballard said, we didn't just hire him because he

387
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 7: was the OC of the best offense in the NFL

388
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 7: in theas That part is a piece of it, but

389
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 7: it was not the most significant part. The most significant

390
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 7: part was that he was the right coach for the.

391
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 6: Colts, the right head coach, and that process r fourteen

392
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 6: different guys.

393
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 7: Lots of time spent vetting these guys. They found the

394
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 7: right coach. If Shane Steichen was just a good offensive

395
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 7: coordinator who didn't have commanded this whole team, the offense

396
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 7: could be okay, probably where they're at. But with everything

397
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: this team has gone through, with suspensions and injuries and

398
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 7: a three game losing streak and losing by three scores

399
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 7: in December on the road to the Bengals and the

400
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 7: Falcons and then coming back and beating the Steelers and

401
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 7: the Raiders. None of that happens without the head coach Ravens.

402
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 5: Earlier this season too.

403
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: It might be one of the best wins of the year,

404
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: no question, absolutely, I mean no question this team is.

405
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: It's not a Jackel and High team. That's what I

406
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 3: love about. It's like, who's going to show up. There's

407
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: some bad weeks, some good weeks. But you guys are

408
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: so right. Shane Steichen is a straw that stirs to

409
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: drink emotionally, I mean, play wise and everything that goes

410
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: into it. And what a great one. And I'm gonna

411
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna roll into significance. I'm gonna say, Gardner,

412
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: we don't have to stay here, but I'm staying with

413
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: Gardner because what we're looking at is a potential double

414
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 3: digit win team in the NFL with with a guy

415
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: who's not making a great deal of money that calls

416
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 3: himself a quarterback in the NFL. It is significant, but

417
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: he's not a starter. He's not there. He's like, hey,

418
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: I'll run OTAs while we wait for Anthony Richardson or

419
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: whoever's gonna come in here from the draft and play quarterback,

420
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: and I'll just do it, and I'll run these o

421
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: tas when I do. Now I'm there and people are

422
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: still coming up to me. I'm the backup. I'm having

423
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: that significance in the locker room. I'm gonna give it

424
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: to Gardner because it's tough to win one game in

425
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: this stinking league. And then the young man has came

426
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: in and put this offense on his back the best

427
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: that he could and found a way. So that's my

428
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: first one as far as significance.

429
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 7: So there are some issues when Gardner first took over

430
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 7: as a starting quarterback with turnovers the Colts. Since wee

431
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 7: can nine of the fewest turnovers in the NFL. Five

432
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 7: that has been that that has been fixed, and that

433
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 7: has been a lot of Gardner has fixed that. He's

434
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 7: not throwing picks. He's he's been securing the ball in

435
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 7: the pocket. You know, obviously, you know Chainstike in cam Turner.

436
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 7: Those guys deserve credit for Jimbob Jim Bob forgetting that

437
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 7: all fixed, but Gardner himself deserves some credit. He's really

438
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 7: settled in to the role he needs to fill within

439
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 7: this offense and he's done a really good job of it.

440
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 6: And one thing that he does too, even you know,

441
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: aside from the play, is the confidence that he exudes

442
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 6: in the huddle. Like you think back to that Pittsburgh

443
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: game when you had Tyler Goodson and Trey Sermon coming

444
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 6: in in that situation stepping up DJ Montgomery stepping in

445
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 6: place of Michael Pittman Junior, and Gardner never flinches. He's like, okay,

446
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 6: like this is situe because you know, for a second,

447
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 6: for some of those guys, this is a huge role

448
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 6: to be thrust into.

449
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 5: But Gardner never waivers.

450
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 6: And with the confidence and the way that he executes

451
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 6: and the way he has command that you know, resonates

452
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 6: across that offense.

453
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: And that's why you've seen.

454
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 6: Guys rotate in and out of the lineup, but they've

455
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 6: been able to maintain production is because of what he is,

456
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 6: that field general that he is.

457
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 3: You know what I found funny you real quick is

458
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: when he went to Montgomery and he had an awful drop.

459
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: Ye yeah, and he goes back to him the next

460
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: player in this But in this league, I'm saying these quarterbacks,

461
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: veteran quarterbacks, I'll say, we'll go hey, I'm not even

462
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: looking over there. Okay, you dropped it, get away from

463
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: me for a couple of plays, not even gonna look

464
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: your way. Went right back to him and showed him.

465
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: So that was another Gardener. So where are we at now,

466
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: We've got Shane Stikeen, we got Gardner Minshew.

467
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 7: So I did because I set this up. I did

468
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 7: give myself. I was like, okay, I know who the

469
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 7: first two picks are going to be. I wanted to

470
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 7: think about this a little bit. The guy that I

471
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 7: settled on his ziro.

472
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 5: Freet Yes, that's where that would have been with you.

473
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 7: Because he is he's not only one of the colts

474
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 7: best players on defense one hundred and seventy tackles, breaking

475
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 7: his own record leading the NFL and tackles, but he's

476
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 7: the emotional leader of that side of the ball. He's

477
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: the one who, if you you see it every game,

478
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 7: he's the one talking to the team after warm ups

479
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 7: before they go back into the locker room. He he

480
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 7: is that that spirit he has, the intensity that he brings,

481
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 7: and the energy that he brings I think elevates that

482
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 7: entire side of the ball, no question, and the message

483
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 7: that he can bring as a team captain. As a

484
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 7: guy who is a seventh round pick who wasn't even

485
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 7: supposed to make the team, who worked his way into

486
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 7: a special team's captaincy, into being a starter, into setting

487
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 7: a record, into breaking his own record. What better example

488
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 7: for young guys on this team to follow and what

489
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 7: better guy to keep this train on its tracks in

490
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 7: an up and down season in that locker room than Zire.

491
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: Franklin Well said, I mean, wasn't supposed to be here.

492
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 3: Now he's going to be taking the defensive signals in

493
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: a playoff type of atmosphere. I mean Zire Franklin and

494
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: what this organization wants for what the community sees and

495
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: their players, that's Sam Laire.

496
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, I mean everything he is. He is everything.

497
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 6: He's an absolute warrior. He is the he's the leader

498
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 6: I mean not just emotionally, but you know on the field,

499
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 6: the position that helps put other guys in when you

500
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: have had you know, EJ. Speed step up and play

501
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 6: more significant reps of course of late. You know he

502
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 6: You've also seen Schagaru Loubi right and and the role

503
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 6: that he has had elevated this year. We've seen Grant

504
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 6: Stewart come in of late as well. All of that

505
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 6: comes behind the leadership of Zire Franklin. When you have

506
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 6: that rotation of guys at the linebacker position and then

507
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 6: just across the defense, you know the trust that that

508
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 6: defensive front has because you know that that next level

509
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 6: is Zire Franklin right behind you.

510
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: With the fourth overall pick in the its significance draft, LERA.

511
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: Overton selects.

512
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 6: I'm trying to find my note right here. All right,

513
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 6: this is terrible, but it's gonna be pit for me.

514
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Michael Pittman Junior. So I don't have the note.

515
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: I'm going to go off the top of my head.

516
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 6: But just the fourth player in franchise history to have

517
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: one hundred receptions on the season. Pretty good list, Dallas Clark,

518
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 6: Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, not bad. Michael Pittman Junior is

519
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 6: only the fourth. And I think that in a year

520
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 6: of such growth for this offense, he has been so

521
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 6: impactful and just I too it's been fun to watch

522
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 6: pit from that rookie season evolve and grow as a player,

523
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 6: as a leader in that locker room. I mean, just

524
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 6: think about I mean, you can seriously isolate one play

525
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: that tells you everything you need to know about Michael

526
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: Pittman Junior. And I know I brought the Ravens game

527
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 6: and go back to it again. The play in overtime

528
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 6: he makes this unbelievable catch in like what double triple

529
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 6: coverage gets his helmet.

530
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: Pops up, pops up.

531
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 6: Comes up with the ball and just keeps going like

532
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 6: I mean, he completely He's pivotal in that entire win.

533
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 6: But that play specifically is like, that's everything you need

534
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 6: to know about pitt And he has earned the nickname

535
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 6: the Enforcer.

536
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 5: That's what they call him. I mean, what more do

537
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 5: you need to know?

538
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 7: The desire Franklin after the game Sunday, he had a

539
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 7: great quote, he said, quote, that's the type of player

540
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 7: Pittman is not only making one on one plays on

541
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 7: the outside, scoring touchdowns, but setting the tone out there

542
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 7: for the offense, being an enforcer out there. There's nobody

543
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 7: else in the league that's doing both.

544
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 6: And the physicality that he plays with resonates across that

545
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 6: entire team. It's not just the offense, but it's like

546
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 6: when you see the stuff that Michael Pittman does, Okay,

547
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 6: then when you're going out in special teams coverage and

548
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 6: you gotta make tackles or you know, defensively, I feel

549
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 6: like that this defense has had that identity for a

550
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 6: long time, and now offensively you're getting that as well

551
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 6: behind guys like Michael Pittman Junior and you know Jonathan

552
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 6: Taylor as well, and of course the o.

553
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 7: Lot like WI wide receivers are usually known for, like

554
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 7: you get you get the guys who are like dirty

555
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 7: work guys like we Zach Pascal here, right, Zach pastis

556
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 7: ultimate dirty work guy, right dueling Those guys you think about,

557
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 7: like Robert Woods, ultimate dirty work guy, but they're not

558
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 7: usually one hundred catch thousand yard receivers like Michael Pittman is.

559
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 7: Usually those guys. It's like if you get you know,

560
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 7: that guy to block on the perimeter once a game,

561
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 7: it's like, oh good, thank god. But with Pittman, it's like,

562
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 7: you know, I was talking to pit after the game

563
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 7: and he was just like, I feel like we run

564
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 7: the ball toward me a lot. And that's not a

565
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 7: coincidence because they trust me to bl lock up.

566
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: Go to the twenty seven yard trace sermon run.

567
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 7: By Divine Diablo out of the play.

568
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean Quentin is leading the charge there and

569
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 6: doing an outstanding job, but when you have Pitt doing

570
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 6: that work, unbelievable. Also, I want to highlight to something

571
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 6: just as kind of aside from our conversation of the draft,

572
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 6: but just kind of going back to blocking. How significant

573
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 6: was Mo Ali Cox in that Raiders win helping out

574
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 6: with Max Crosby.

575
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 7: I mean, how many times did he chip him? Yeah,

576
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 7: you need to Max Crosby, you have to zero sacks.

577
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 7: There was one play I noticed against the past that

578
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 7: Max Crosby made an impact is when he looped around

579
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 7: and rushed up the middle. Other than that, it didn't

580
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 7: really know he really did.

581
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 6: And so anyway, I just wanted to since we were

582
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 6: talking about Pitt so significant in the run game, wanted

583
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 6: to bring up Mo as well blocking the BA.

584
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's my next pick is Mo. I know, I'm

585
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: just kidding on the significance. Uh, let me do this

586
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: and and discuss. I'm looking at big picture and I

587
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: want to pick out one player, and I'm uh Nate

588
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: Ali oh nad Ali defensive line coach setting a record

589
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: with this unit. I know Buckner's aeron, there's some talent there,

590
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: such a great brought a guy like Samson that who

591
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: come in when he pays getting better. Obviously dio a

592
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 3: dang bow. So I'm giving it to a coach, Nata lk.

593
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: You have fourteen guys who have gotten to the quarterback.

594
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: JJ and I were just talking about this. I was like, Hey,

595
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 6: how many different guys have we had who've had saxis.

596
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 6: I mean, I know we obviously broke the franchise record,

597
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 6: but with how many fourteen different guys, that's unbelievable. That's

598
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 6: such a testament to the coaching and to the depth

599
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 6: of that group.

600
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 7: The depth is so important. But it's not just that

601
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 7: the you know, the Colt's got guys who've got to

602
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 7: the quarterback. It's like I was talking to Nate about

603
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 7: this last week and he's like, we have our Alpha

604
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 7: group and our Bravo group, and he's like, you see us.

605
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 7: It's like He's like, it's like a hockey line change.

606
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 7: When we put those guys in, it's four on four

607
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 7: off and He's like, when we put the that Bravo

608
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 7: group on the you know, to take guys off, we

609
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 7: still trust that they're going to get after the quarterback.

610
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 7: And that's what we've seen. It's it's getting a couple

611
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 7: of sacks out of Jake Martin, it's getting Taekwon Lewis

612
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 7: having a tremendous season, it's getting you know, you throw

613
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 7: Tavin Bryan in there, he gets a couple of sacks,

614
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 7: Eric Johnson gets a sack. You can trust those guys

615
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 7: to still get after the quarterback. And then that means

616
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 7: when you get a big third down late in the game,

617
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 7: DeForest Buckner is feeling a little more fresh, Grady Pay's

618
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 7: feeling a little bit that little one percent edge where

619
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 7: he's feeling a little bit more fresh, and the guy

620
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 7: across from him that has a compounding impact over the

621
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 7: course of a game.

622
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: Great.

623
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: I love it.

624
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 6: I'm going back to this like list and it's like,

625
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 6: I mean, that's a great exercise.

626
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 5: Colts fans. Try to, without cheating, name all fourteen guys

627
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 5: who have had a supporter to sack this season.

628
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you can do that, try it in the

629
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 7: comments without looking right. Okay, we'll keep a look at

630
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 7: it on YouTube. Well, great job to nat Ali what

631
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 7: he's doing with this group.

632
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: And I know there's a lot of studs there and

633
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: stars there as well, but anytime you set a record

634
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: in the NFL or a franchise has been around forever

635
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 3: in a day plus head Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney

636
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 3: potential both Hall of famers, and you know, to do

637
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: what they're doing. Hey, tip of the cap to nat Ali.

638
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 3: So so that's where we're at. Where are you at?

639
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: So I kind of wanted to do the I can't

640
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 7: pick one guy from the group, so I'm gonna pick

641
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 7: the position coach. But since you just did that, I'm

642
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 7: gonna go with Quintin Nelson was gonna. I was between

643
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 7: Q and Tony Sprano Junior. The work that Tony Sprano

644
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 7: has done getting this offensive line collectively playing together has

645
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 7: been tremendous and should be absolutely commended. But the seasons

646
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 7: Quinton Nelson is having, I mean, you turn on the

647
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 7: tape and he is wrecking dudes, and but this it's

648
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 7: not just that he's beaten the guy in front of him.

649
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: What Quintin Nelson has been able to do and what

650
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 7: Shane Stikeen has been able to do with Quintin Nelson.

651
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 7: Like the play that is seared into my brain is

652
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 7: the touchdown to Alec Pierce against the Titans in week thirteen,

653
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 7: where on that play they go play action and they

654
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 7: pull Quinton Nelson like it's a power. They pull him

655
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 7: from left to right and he blocks a Deniko Autrey

656
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 7: bull rush like that. We know Deniko's one of the

657
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 7: strongest dudes. Yeah, on the edge and Quinton blocks him.

658
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 7: He absorbs it. He gives Gardner time touchdown to Alec Pierce.

659
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 7: But because they tied the play action into a guard pulling,

660
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 7: that freezes everyone on the back end for just that

661
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 7: split second to let all get behind him. You can't

662
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 7: do that if you can't trust that guard to go

663
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 7: block Deniko Watri, who is, by the way, what like

664
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 7: ten eleven sacks is here. You can't do that if

665
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 7: you don't trust the guard to do that. Quentin Nelson

666
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 7: has unlocked some stuff within this offense because he's playing

667
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 7: at an all pro level once.

668
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: Again, Yeah, this draft isn't going away. I like the

669
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 3: way we're doing this. We're talking about I think Shane

670
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 3: Steichen being mentioned obviously, the great players. Hey, listen, there's

671
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: so many more. We'll have a different one next week.

672
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: And people as far as making significant, you know, inputs

673
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: to this season and getting where the cults are at.

674
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 7: I mean, you could have made a case for Kenny

675
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 7: Moore the second Boom.

676
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: Let's let's do it. Let's do it. I mean, just

677
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: gravel some names and we'll move on. I mean, there

678
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: are those people out.

679
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 7: There, many Tony Sperano. Those are the other guys on

680
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 7: my list right oh, Like you know, I mean DeForest Buckner.

681
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 7: If you didn't take the singular defensive line coach buck

682
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 7: even though maybe the counting stats aren't totally the impact

683
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 7: he has in that entire group is so significant you

684
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 7: could throw You could throw Josh downs, but dial Dio Dangbo,

685
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 7: you know, with the ascension that Dios had him coming

686
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 7: in there and being kind of like that third guy.

687
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 4: There.

688
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 7: There are a lot of different guys you can make it.

689
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: And you know what else, I like Lara and then

690
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: we're gonna move on. Is I like Will Mallory with

691
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: a big catch. This kid's gonna be great. I mean,

692
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 3: this kid's gonna be good in the end of it.

693
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: It's a hybrid type of I'm not a blocking tight end,

694
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: but I'm more of a wide receiver type. But he's

695
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: nasty at the same time. I love the big Will

696
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: Mallory catches out of not out of nowhere, but at

697
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: the right time. You know what I'm saying. It's like

698
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 3: talking about significance. There's importance and there's these individual significances

699
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: of his NFL career.

700
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 5: Makes it at Houston and it's huge.

701
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 6: It was like this nice six yards forty six yards

702
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 6: first NFL.

703
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 7: That was right after Gardner came in for Anthony.

704
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 5: Yes, that's yeah, that was the game in Houston.

705
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 6: So like you just think about like the composure, the poise,

706
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 6: like the presence of the preparation of a rookie tight

707
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 6: ended bit all right, We're.

708
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, this is how we're going to open it up.

709
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 5: Like I love that.

710
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 6: And you know, like talking to him too, like coming

711
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 6: from the football football family that he has, and this

712
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 6: is like totally like dream come true for him to

713
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 6: be here. Obviously, like grew up majority of his life

714
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 6: bouncing around because his dad being in coaching, lived a

715
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 6: lot of places, but kind of roots in Florida.

716
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 5: You know, Jacksonville went to high school there went to

717
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: University of Miami.

718
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 6: But he said that, like the Midwest is home because

719
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 6: of you know, his grandfather who coached at IU, and

720
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 6: uncles who have coached around the Midwest.

721
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 5: Now his dad as well, and you know the.

722
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 6: Fact that he is playing for the team that has

723
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 6: Gus Bradley's defensive coordinator when Gus's son was his high

724
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 6: school quarterback.

725
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 7: So weird about that, right?

726
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 5: How great is that?

727
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: Tian?

728
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 7: That is when I talked to Will Mallory about that,

729
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 7: It's just such a funny story. He's such a nice guy.

730
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 7: He kept talking about how Missus Bradley would have them

731
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 7: over all the time, and I'm like, this is Bradley, Oh,

732
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 7: that's great.

733
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 5: He was saying that.

734
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 6: He was telling me when we were talking on Coltster

735
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 6: sixty a few weeks ago, that you know, in particular,

736
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 6: you know, when COVID lockdown was going on and they

737
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 6: were in Florida and they all kind of live in

738
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 6: a similar area.

739
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 5: They were over, you know, at the Bradley's house.

740
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 6: A ton because it was just the kind of one

741
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 6: of the places where you know, they were they could go,

742
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 6: we could walk over there, and they were, you know,

743
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 6: at home a lot, and so they were playing, you know,

744
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 6: doing a lot, just kind of trading reps out in.

745
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: The backyard, and so that was you.

746
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: Know, kind of what further solidified that like friendship as well.

747
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 6: They spent so much time together during that period of time.

748
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: I love it so many greats. And obviously he's in

749
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: the tight End room. Speaking of which, our own JJ

750
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: stank Ifitz here had a chance to sit down Kylin grantsons.

751
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: You talk about significance, he's been there, big catches. We

00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: saw it this past week as well. Here's Kylin with

753
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: JJ all.

754
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 7: Right joining me here on the official Colts podcast. Is

755
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 7: Colts tight End number eighty three. Kylin Granson Coleen said,

756
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 7: hello already, that's great. We're here on YouTube and also

757
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 7: on all of our audio channels. Big week. Kyle and

758
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 7: we were just talking walking over here about it being

759
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 7: a short week. Does the does the short week kind

760
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 7: of lead you to be more intensive on like the

761
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 7: side of things knowing the stakes of this game on Saturday.

762
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean you lose a day, so that's a

763
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: day of preparation, a day of rest, a day of

764
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: you know, breaking down the defense and special teams of

765
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: your opponent. But overall, I think we'll be just fine.

766
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, we lost the day, but we got.

767
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 7: How was the message kind of maybe not even changed

768
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 7: this week? You know, I was talking to Taekwon in

769
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 7: the locker room after the game Sunday, and he talked

770
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 7: about how like, as a leader on the team, you

771
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 7: can't really change your message even if the stakes are

772
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 7: much more elevated. Has that been kind of your experience

773
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: so far this week?

774
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Every week it's one to oh.

775
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: Every week we prepare just the same as we would

776
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: any other week. While the implications of our wins may

777
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: be different the week going in, it's all the same

778
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: mentally and in the locker room for us.

779
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 7: Does that come from coach Stichen just like top down

780
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 7: when when you see Shane keeping that same intensity and

781
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 7: message and not kind of altering, that kind of just

782
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 7: feeds to the rest of the team.

783
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

784
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it starts with him, But then it's also.

785
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: With our leaders in the locker room.

786
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: You know, the guys who've been around, who've played playoff ball,

787
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: who are like all right, Like, as we get deeper

788
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: in the season, the messages and changing the standards still here.

789
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 2: And even more than that, we still got to continue

790
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 2: to build.

791
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 4: On what we already have.

792
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: So it's not even it's not completely static, it's actually

793
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: trending upwards.

794
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 7: How would you describe Shane as a coach?

795
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: Great guy, a great coach. We're always scheming up something,

796
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: We've always got something going in each week.

797
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 4: He's really charismatic.

798
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 2: I mean he's always talking to players, you know, talking

799
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: with the QBS, talking with Jim Bob for like the

800
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: best possible plan to put us in the right spot,

801
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: and I mean all around.

802
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: I've enjoyed his tenure here so far.

803
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 7: How do you feel like he empowers you, guys as players,

804
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 7: Like as a player who's being put in those positions, Like,

805
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 7: how do you feel like he empowers you in them?

806
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 4: I mean he gets gives.

807
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: Like while we say he's rigid in you know, his philosophy,

808
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: his mentality, he really allows you to play football like

809
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: you know sometimes you know a route may not go

810
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: the way you want or you know, the looks not

811
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: one hundred percent right. But I mean he gives us

812
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: the freedom at the end of the day to make

813
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 2: plays and you know, be special, be who we are.

814
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 2: So I think that's like his biggest thing is he

815
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: he gives us guidance without completely limiting us.

816
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 7: So like mentally you can you can kind of just

817
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 7: play fast than with that. Yep, how do you feel

818
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 7: like he like, I mean, he's obviously an offensive coach, right,

819
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 7: and he does a lot of stuff with you guys

820
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 7: on offense, but I haven't just seen like the entire

821
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 7: team kind of take on his mentality and kind of

822
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 7: you know, come up to him.

823
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: I mean, we're huge on the preparation here, so I mean,

824
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean you just see it, like guys are seeing

825
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: things faster, they're anticipating, they're they're they're.

826
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: Flying around in practice.

827
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: Our practices are are very fast, very quick, but they're

828
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: very intentful. So each and every rep, like even if

829
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: there's like a few pointers, like we're moving fast our eyes,

830
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: they're getting accustomed to what we're going to see in

831
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: the game. And I think it shows on Sundays, like

832
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: when we come out flying that our preparation has allowed

833
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: us to do and perform the way we've been playing

834
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: over the past few weeks.

835
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 7: Something I talked to you about a couple of weeks

836
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 7: ago is like you you're telling me that Gardner Minshew

837
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 7: like he almost has these like bespoke routes for you guys,

838
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 7: we're like the route that you're gonna run. If you

839
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 7: run an over route, he's gonna talk to you differently

840
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 7: about it than if that's like Mo running the same route.

841
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 7: How much do you trust Gardner when it comes to

842
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 7: those little details that show up then on Sundays on.

843
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: Dred percent because we rep it all week and then

844
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: once you get to the game.

845
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just business as usual.

846
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: I mean, even going up to game time, like if

847
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: there's like a last second tweak to a route, I

848
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: mean he'll come up and talk to you and be like, hey,

849
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: you know what, just really really think you know, bend

850
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: it or really think you know, keep.

851
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 4: It, you know more more thin.

852
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: And really he's just really really good about being dialed in,

853
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: So like if he's not one hundred percent confident, he'll

854
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: come talk to you. But I mean, if you're all good,

855
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: like we're all good, let's just play ball, baby.

856
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 7: What's your favorite Gardner Minshew story that maybe doesn't involve

857
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 7: football since being his teammate.

858
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: Oh oh my goodness, there's too many.

859
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: I mean he's just all around like character. I mean,

860
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: like anytime you see him around like he's always doing

861
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: like something with someone or it's chatting.

862
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: You know, very personal guy.

863
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: But I don't feel like, you know, he doesn't ever

864
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: really meet a stranger. So I mean, I couldn't really

865
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: narrow down one and tell you right now that and

866
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about practice something.

867
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, something you can share here, something that when I

868
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 7: was kind of what you mentioned about he doesn't know

869
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 7: a stranger like something I was talking about I think

870
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 7: it was with Wes French, like in training camp, is

871
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 7: that he's one of those guys who could sit down

872
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 7: at like literally any table. He could go sit with

873
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 7: the DB's, the specialists, the tight ends. It doesn't matter that.

874
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 7: How does that charisma help out help him out just

875
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 7: as a leader, but also just kind of ray the

876
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 7: level of play with the rest of the team.

877
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 4: I mean, he's just risen up everybody on the team.

878
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah to say it, but I mean

879
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: when you're when you're a leader like that who can

880
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: find cohesion with all manner of units, I mean, I

881
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 2: think it just makes you that more tied in with

882
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: your locker room, and I think you just have that

883
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: inherent trust just built in because I mean, everybody you

884
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: know can chat with you, And if you can talk

885
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 2: to somebody even if like you know, one hundred percent

886
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: like CTI, and if you gain that respect for each

887
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 2: other both as a player and a person, I think

888
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: that bond is just that much stronger.

889
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 7: What's the season been like for you? Kind of taking on,

890
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 7: you know, more and more of a role within this offense,

891
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 7: being in a playoff race, being in a position to

892
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 7: go make plays in a win and in game. Just

893
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 7: what's it been like for you?

894
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: I mean, every year here has been an exciting time.

895
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: Last year my rookie year, I mean that every circumstance

896
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: was different. But this year has been a lot of fun.

897
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 2: I've personally, I think this is my most fun since

898
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 2: I've been here.

899
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 4: Like you said, take on a little bit of a

900
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: larger role.

901
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 2: You know, I'm kind of one of the older dudes

902
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: in the tight end right now, you know besides Mo,

903
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 2: shut up Mo. But it's been a lot of fun,

904
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: you know, getting to you know, work with Gardner and

905
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: work with ar work with Shane. I've just seen myself,

906
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: you know, become more comfortable both blocking, running routes, you know,

907
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: just all manners of the game. I'm finding myself settling

908
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: in and it's uh, it's a good feeling.

909
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 7: Who You've been here for three years now, I've done

910
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 7: three training camps. Who's the biggest pain in the butt

911
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 7: you've gone against in training camp? And who's maybe by

912
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 7: going against him in camp, who's elevated your play?

913
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's tough. If I had to say, I

914
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 2: would say either Zaire or Julian because you know, Julians

915
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 2: a great cover guy, great safety, he'll come down and

916
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: hit you. So running routes and stuff against him has

917
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: been great for my game. Hopefully it's been good for

918
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: his game, you know, Ion Truan's aren't. And then Zaire

919
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: just because like he's so physical in the wrong game,

920
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 2: Like he he flows fast to the ball, He's always

921
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: talking mess no matter what is going, Like he could

922
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: be a walk through like like he'll be over there Churman.

923
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: But you know he always brings the juice to the

924
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: field and you know you're always gonna have a fast,

925
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: physical practice with him on the fields and it just

926
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: makes everyone better on both sides of the ball.

927
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, we hear like iron sharpens iron a lot. Like

928
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: when you get that experience of going against you know,

929
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 7: Z's leading the NFL and tackles Julian Set, you know,

930
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,520

938
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 7: little bit about Cage's kids. I know you supported them

939
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 7: with I cause my cleats, but you've been doing You've

940
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 7: been doing that before, even in the NFL. Just what

941
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 7: about that initiative and getting kids to read and you know,

942
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 7: age appropriate materials and stuff like that just led you

943
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 7: to be passionate about that.

944
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: So I'm a I'm a huge reader. I love reading.

945
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: It started from an early age. It wasn't always smooth sailing.

946
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not gonna lie to y'all, but my

947
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: mom's a teacher and my dad's a coach, so like

948
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 2: I was never going to escape, you know, being in

949
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: the classroom and my mom, Like I was in like

950
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: the golden age of gaming, like the Xbox three, sixty,

951
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: like the PlayStation, the GameCube, like all these great consoles

952
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: were coming out, great games, and you know, I would

953
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: just play video games all day. And you know, she

954
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: I was doing well in the classroom, but no nowhere

955
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: up to the level of expectation that she had for me.

956
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: So she like she implicated this match system for me

957
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: for reading, or like for every minute I read, I

958
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: got a minute of video games, and you know, thirty

959
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 2: minutes here, an hour there, and you know it added up.

960
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 2: But I found my book and was Rick Roward and

961
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: it's The Lightning Thief. And from there on its boom.

962
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: I was reading like everywhere, like I was. I completely

963
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: flipped from like playing video games all the time to

964
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: reading books all the time. I got banned from bringing

965
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: books to middle school, like like because you're reading too much,

966
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: because I was reading too much, and I'd have like

967
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: a's in class, and like they would line my books

968
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: up like on the whiteboard shelf, like they would line

969
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 2: them up like you know, just like a like in cop.

970
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 4: Shows like number one s to forward. You know, it's

971
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 4: like my lineup.

972
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: I was like, dang all my books, and my mom

973
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: was really upset because I'm like I've never heard of

974
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: teachers punishing like students for reading if they're excelling in class.

975
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, I attribute a lot of my academic

976
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: and football success to you know, reading comprehension. And you know,

977
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: my love of reading has you know, allowed me to

978
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: pursue you know, various academicals. You know, I got into Rice,

979
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: I got into Harvard, and you know, I went to

980
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 2: school at SMU, a lot of great school and it's

981
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: just opened so many doors for me. And the hope

982
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 2: is to get books in these kids hands at an

983
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: early age, so hopefully it can do the same thing

984
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 2: for them and whatever their aspirations are that it did

985
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: for me. And so it was we started out as

986
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: just me and my mom, my dad. We actually just

987
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: officially partnered with Warren Township up here.

988
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: That's great. Yeah, so we got a full time spot

989
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: over there. So we're going.

990
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 2: We're more than excited to be working over there. We've

991
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: already got like events lined up and oh my goodness,

992
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,839
Speaker 2: Like my parents are so excited. I mean, I get

993
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: to just have fun, like we did a night of reading.

994
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 2: I read The Lightning Thief. I honestly have more fun

995
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: than the kids, and I got like, I was like

996
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 2: ten pages in, They're all right, we got to cut

997
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 2: you off, like it's been it's been like a half hour,

998
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: and I was like, nope, State, It's like I'm almost time.

999
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 4: You know. But I mean it's been a lot of fun.

1000
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: We've been able to do a lot of cool things

1001
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 2: here in the community, giving out backpacks, having our Cag's

1002
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 2: Carnival books where we give out like I think it's

1003
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: three books to every kid during the day and then

1004
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: at night we have like a carnival. It's like a

1005
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 2: kind of like a field day, like you get to

1006
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: play around. We invite the community to come out. My

1007
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: family and I are always working there and interacting with

1008
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: the kids, and it's always a really, really great time.

1009
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's that's a little bit about us. We

1010
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 4: enjoyed doing what we do.

1011
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 2: Honestly, it's what makes being a football player is so

1012
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 2: fun because of those kids. I mean, they probably don't

1013
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: know who I am, but I'm wearing a jersey now tall,

1014
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 2: so they're like, oh, that guy's pretty cool.

1015
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 7: But you, I mean you you probably have a bunch

1016
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 7: of favorite players. Then like, are those kids you're their

1017

1021
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, it's a very niche favorite player, but you know,

1022
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate them all the same.

1023
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's like Kylin Grandson. Wow, yeah, he's the greatest.

00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 4: That's a great fan check.

1025
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 7: All right, well, Kylin Grandson, we think you're the greatest here.

1027
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: Sweet Kid, Love Love Kylin Granton. He really is. He's

1028
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: funny and you see him on social media, but hold

1029
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 3: on JJ and then you can go. He has snakes

1030
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 3: all over his house. He has reptiles. Yes, I know,

1031
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 3: but still that's what they were eating free. I found

1032
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 3: myself when he told me that, I was stepping back.

1033
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 3: Maybe that he was like gonna take something out of

1034
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: his pocket or something like that. But anyway, great guy

1035
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: loves insects too, I found out.

1036
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 7: So yeah, if you were watching the video board before

1037
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 7: the game on Sunday, if you notice the fib or

1038
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 7: fact bit that we do find Baker and Brian Mitchell

1039
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 7: put together on the video board. His fact was he

1040
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 7: studies mermacology, which is the study of ants. He's fascinated

1041
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 7: by ants, study of ants of ants.

1042
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 8: He is so funny so also really quickly shout out

1043
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 8: to Kylin Granson and also Sherry, who's buying the camera

1044
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 8: right now, because last week's Colts Cam asked everybody their.

1045
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 6: Favorite moment of twenty twenty three or the best thing

1046
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 6: that happened to you in twenty twenty three, and Kylon mentioned,

1047
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 6: you know, welcomed my bundle of joy, and Sherry did

1048
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 6: a little throwback to when Kylon did his newborn.

1049
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 5: Photo shoot with his first first touchdown ball so funny.

1050
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 7: Like top top five thing I think I've ever seen

1051
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 7: a player do on social media that was great? Was

1052
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 7: that photo shoot?

1053
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 4: That was great?

1054
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 5: You know what?

1055
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 6: It was so deserved, not just because it was his

1056
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 6: first career touchdown, but also because he got so robbed,

1057
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 6: did not get to celebrate it in Houston because it

1058
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 6: was reviewed, you.

1059
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 5: Know, like it wasn't initially faull to touchdown that we

1060
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 5: go through through.

1061
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 6: So I'm like so happy for him that we you know,

1062
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 6: we get this photo shoot will live in infamy because

1063
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 6: Kyland deserves to have that.

1064
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 3: For Hey, I did one thing from each year before

1065
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: we get out of here, one way that we're going

1066
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: to beat the Titans. The Titans. Excuse me, Jacksonville. No, No,

1067
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 3: no Titans over Jacksonville. One way we're going to beat

1068
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: the Texans. I mean there's one hundred, But one way

1069
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 3: at a home game with this environment is you.

1070
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 7: Got to get c J. Strouds the ground. The Colt

1071
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 7: sacked him six times in week two. That was before

1072
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 7: we knew just how freaking good c J. Stroud is.

1073
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 7: You got to get into the ground because I know

1074
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 7: they don't have tanked Dell now that their weapons are

1075
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 7: a little bit depleted, but he c J. Stroud, if

1076
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 7: you let him sit back there, he will pick you apart.

1077
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 7: And it's not it's not gonna be one of those

1078
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 7: things where you let him pick you apart between the

1079
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 7: twenties and then you stop him in the red zone.

1080
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 7: He'll probably get you in the red zone. That's you

1081
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 7: got to get into the ground.

1082
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: That's defensively, give me something offensively established.

1083
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 5: The run game, avoid third and lungs there.

1084
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 6: It is that's just just be able to play complimentary

1085
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 6: with the run games. Set up the run games so

1086
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 6: then you can get those explosive plays in the passing

1087
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 6: game as well. But I think this is all going

1088
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 6: to be set up behind a really productive run game,

1089
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 6: and I feel good about it this week. But also, yeah,

1090
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 6: you got to you got to avoid those third and

1091
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 6: long situations, you know, difficult position to be in. You

1092
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 6: risk putting yourself into some turnover type of opportunities with that.

1093
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 5: So that's where That's where.

1094
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm going absolutely, and it's going to be happening that

1095
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,600

Speaker 7: or in the early morning. But keep your eye out

1121
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 7: because if the Colts win this division and we get

1122
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 7: some playoff stuff going out, might slip a little late

1123
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:00,880

1130
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 3: not forget guys, when it comes down to it. This

1131
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: woman to my right has not missed a day of

1132
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 3: running at least one mile, And I want to get

1133
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: the tally of where we're at right now, because I

1134
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 3: was just thinking, is Lara going to be up at

1135
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: five am on Saturday morning? Or is she going to

1136
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: sleep in until ten thirty eleven? Odd? I know the answer, like,

1137
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: or she's saying I'm sleeping in for purpose because I

1138
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: know I'm going to be late. Like that's what I'm

1139
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 3: thinking of. So anyway, we're only at with the tally.

1140
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 3: And what time are you getting up on Saturday morning?

1141
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 5: That's a great question. I appreciate you to chase. Let's see,

1142
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 5: we got.

1143
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 6: Fifteen hundred and twenty three days. I want to say,

1144
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 6: so every day since November of twenty.

1145
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: Nineteen consecutive days of running at least at least one

1146
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 3: one mile. Yes, we gotta get that. There's not many

1147
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 3: people in the world that can say that. There are

1148
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: some here.

1149
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 5: There's a woman in Fort Wayne who has done more

1150
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 5: than twenty years.

1151
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 3: Of just running. Yeah, just not missing right, I.

1152
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 5: Follow She's like my inspiration.

1153
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, wonderful, but yeah, on Saturday I will probably do

1154
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 6: is maybe sleeping little I don't believe it, sleep in

1155
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 6: a little bit and then go because Like my usual

1156
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 6: routine is I'll normally go out about set, like on

1157
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 6: a normal one o'clock cake up on a Sunday, I'm

1158
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 6: running at about seven, like, so I probably want to

1159
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 6: keep that same time schedule too, because the run gives

1160
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 6: a good momentum for the rest of the day too,

1161
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 6: you know. Like, so I don't want to run too

1162
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 6: early and then I've kind of lost my endorphin high, right, right,

1163
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 6: so I don't over fife run and then grab little

1164
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 6: lunch and then start getting ready.

1165
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 3: Over fifteen hundred consecutive days of running at least one mile,

1166
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 3: and I ask you, and you and me too, what

1167
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 3: have you done lately? Like what have you? You know

1168
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: what I mean? I mean, that's quite a record. And

1169
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: we're going to keep this going, hopefully two years from
