Anyways, Gang, 22 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: let's get into this podcast and start off with a 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: bit of a recap here on the colts thirty four 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: to thirty one overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans, and Lara, 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: I wanted to get your perspective on this to start 26 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: us off. Since you were on the sidelines on Sunday, 27 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: what was your sense of just the wild swings and 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: momentum that happened throughout that game, whether it was the 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Colts going up fourteen to nothing, or Taekwon Lewis having 30 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: the interception and then fumbling it away and then aj 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Brown scoring a touchdown right after it, and kind of 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: how the Colts handled just a really wacky game of 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: football on Sunday at Lucasoil Stadium. It felt like in 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,919 Speaker 1: the second half the Colts just could not find any 35 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: offensive rhythm, really any rhythm across the board. They never 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: felt like that they totally settled in after giving up 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: that fourteen point lead. And you mentioned the Taekwon interception 38 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: and to me, as soon as that happened, I was like, 39 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: this is that big takeaway, This is where you take control. 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: You know, Tennessee had had scored to bring it within 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: the seven point game, and I was like, yes, you 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: need the big takeaway. Like what better way to get 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: everybody on the bench up and on their feet than 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: when you get a d Lineman interception right Like, it 45 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: was such a jolt when you saw everybody like leap 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: off of the bench getting ready to go, and then 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: it was so quickly went to not even so much 48 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: the devastation of obviously the fumble being recovered by Tennessee, 49 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: it was, oh my god, the severity of this injury 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: that Taekwon is just sustained. I mean, guys dropped to 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: a knee immediately. Taekwon is an immensely tough human being, 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and when he was just writing in pain and you 53 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: saw about four members of the medical staff just surrounding 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: him in the way that he was grasping that knee, 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: it was obviously like the immediate concern for his health 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: and safety and everything that I transpired and what this 57 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: means for a guy who was endured so much adversity, 58 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: and then the ramifications of this being now a Tennessee 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: first down, And I talked to Kenny Moore the second 60 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: after it and he said, you know, before the injury, 61 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: that was one of the highlight plays of the game. 62 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: He said, I figured that we would have gotten the 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: ball back. He said, I understand the call, but he said, 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: even if Taekwon fumbled it, I thought George was right 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: there to clean up and recover it. And but she 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: came away with it. Yeah, which I'm still confused. How 67 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: we never saw a replay. We never it was I mean, 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: I was shocked they never went to the booth to 69 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: confirm whether or not who had the football. But that 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: was odd to me. But but I want to kind 71 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: of piggyback on something before the injury. How about the 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: presence of mind about Matt Eberflus deciding to let Tae 73 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: Kwon drop back in coverage, which I'm sure it's something 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: that Tennessee never saw on film. I don't I can't 75 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: remember last time I saw Tae Kwon Lewis strip drop 76 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: back in coverage. And I mean, to be right there, 77 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: it's hard because you know, hindsight's always twenty twenty. You know, 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: if if he doesn't catch that, if if he does 79 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: not trying to be mean here, but what a lot 80 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: of defensive linemen do if a ball is thrown to him, 81 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: if it falls off his hands, the Colts do get 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: the football because it was third down. So it was 83 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: just such I mean, such a gut punch because of 84 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: all the positives all into one thing that ended up 85 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: being such a huge momentum swing. And then the next play, 86 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you see the fifty seven yard touchdown to 87 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: A J. Brown. It was tough unfortunately for that, you know. 88 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: Hearing from Titans players after the game, AJ Brown said 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: that was the moment that really swung momentum in Tennessee's favor, 90 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: and Casey, I think that's that's such a it's such 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,239 Speaker 1: a good point that Taekwon Lewis, he made a great 92 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: play to catch that ball. Defensive lineman and not really 93 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: known for their ball skills, right, although I bet Grover 94 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: Stewart would probably say yet he would say about that, 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: but that you know, yeah, it's like, unfortunately, if he 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: just does what a lot of d lineman would do 97 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: in that situation, this might be a different outcome. But 98 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: you certainly cannot fault Taekwon Lewis for making a play 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: and trying to do something with it. The thing I 100 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: loved about that play, and Bill Brooks and I talked 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: about it on our podcast right after the game was 102 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Matt Aberflus dialed that blitz that he dialed up man 103 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: with Darius Leonard over the A gap, George Odam coming 104 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: off the edge, and Taekwon Lewis dropping into coverage. Odom 105 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: hit home on that blitz right and Tannehill was under 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: so much pressure he just threw it up kind of 107 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: hoped didn't see Lewis there. That though, if you're looking 108 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: at something that long term gives me some hope about 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: this Colts team, even though they're three and five. These 110 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: blitz is that Matt Aberflus has been dialing up lately. 111 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: They have been hitting home and they have been doing 112 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: some really good things with them. I think my concern 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: is that you hold Derrick Henry to whatever I can't. 114 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: I have the numbers in front of me, sixty eight yards, 115 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty eight carries. Yeah, I mean, come on, and then 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: the one guy you can't stop. You have one receiver, 117 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: literally one receiver to worry about out there, because there 118 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: is no Julio Jones. A J. Brown is your big factor. 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: You know that's where they're going, and he absolutely diced 120 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: you up. You had no answer on the edges. And 121 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: as good as other things were in that game, that 122 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: is a glaring concern with this Coult secondary. So, Casey, 123 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: I want to throw this one to you. You've you've 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: listened to all the interviews the Colts have given this week, 125 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: you've been in the building. How do the Colts move 126 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: on from this? Now? At three and five, the Titans 127 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: are at six and two. Yes, the Titans are going 128 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: to be without Derrick Henry a long time, maybe the 129 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: rest of the season with that foot injury. But you're 130 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: effectively four games behind the Titans right now with them 131 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: holding the tiebreaker. How have you sense the Colts move 132 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: on from this game this week? I think it's it's 133 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: hard to say that they're going to be able to 134 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: move on, but I think the perfect storm is that 135 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: you play on Thursday, so you really can't sulk. You 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: gotta move on because whether you like it or not, 137 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna be or on Thursday, and they're 138 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: coming off a huge win. I mean, they beat the Bengals. 139 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: A guy named Mike White who I didn't even know, 140 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: played quarterback in the NFL, throws for four hundred and 141 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: five yards and three touchdowns and beats a team that 142 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: is coming off a road win in Baltimore where everybody 143 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: was crowning Baltimore as the best team in the AFC, 144 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden this last week, it's 145 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: maybe Cincinnati's the best team in the AFC, and then 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: they lose to the Jets. So this Jets team has 147 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of energy coming in on Thursday. So 148 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: if the Colts at all are overlooking this, or if 149 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: they're still kind of looking back on what could have 150 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: been on Sunday, the Jets are there to take it. 151 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: And I don't think this team is the kind that's 152 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: going to do that. I mean, you're heard Darius Slinder 153 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: talk about it like, yeah, it sucks. I hate this 154 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: feeling that I have in every single damn reminded of it. 155 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Thursday's gonna get 156 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: here and the Jets are going to be in town, 157 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: and you got to put your best foot forward. So 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: I think part of it being able to move on 159 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: is the fact that you've got a short week and 160 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: you really don't have time to look back on it. 161 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: But then I think also, like you said, in the 162 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: back of their minds that notion that hey, you know 163 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: they're bell cow the the thing that is Tennessee's identity, 164 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry might be gone for the rest of 165 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the season. It could take them a little while to 166 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: kind of get back in stride, whether or not, you know, 167 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: they figure out that Tannehill's got to go moreph an 168 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: aerial attack, or I know they signed Adrian Peterson, maybe 169 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: that's a guy that's going to slide in there. But 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: they've got a pretty tough schedule looking here the next 171 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: four or five weeks, and the Colts have two, you know, 172 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: back to back games. You look on paper and you 173 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: say they should win those two. So there's a really 174 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: good possibility that in two weeks this Gold's team is 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: five and five taking on a Titans team that honestly 176 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: could lose their next two. So, I mean, it's a 177 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: completely different story. Well, we could be talking about it 178 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, but I think it is 179 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: going to be tough that you're always going to look 180 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: back and look at it as a what if. But 181 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of other circumstances around 182 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: it that kind of give you a little bit more hope, saying, 183 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: all right, we can get this out of our minds 184 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: to get a win on Thursday, and then you kind 185 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: of kick your feet up and watch what happens on 186 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: Sunday night when the Titans play and you see what 187 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: they have without Derrick Henry Larry to kind of piggyback 188 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: off of that. You asked Darius Leonard about not overlooking 189 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: the Jets in this game. What kind of answered didn't 190 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: you get? What kind of vibes have you got from 191 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: the Colts this week? Talking now looking ahead to this 192 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: Jets game? Oh? He said, this is certainly a team 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: that you can out look past. Because I didn't even 194 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: have to finish this sentence, you know, he said. He 195 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: set it up by saying, Hey, they're coming off this 196 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: win over the Bengals, and then when I set it 197 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: up to him, I said, you know, the two wins 198 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: are coming against the Bengals and goes in Tennessee. I mean, 199 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: he knew exactly where I was going, is that those 200 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: two wins are very high quality, you know, wins that 201 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: you can boast about. And he said, it's the NFL. 202 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: You can't overlook any team there. There are many blowouts 203 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Things are pretty closely contested. It's usually 204 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: maybe a one, one score game in these type of situations. 205 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: And he said, you know, everyone has great athletes, Everyone 206 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: does a great job of game planning, and you have 207 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: to come in and make sure that you're firing on 208 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: all cylinders, regardless of what the record shows. We have 209 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: to be locked in and understand what they're trying to 210 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: do offensively his of course speaking from the defensive perspective, 211 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: and make sure we can find to stop that. I mean, 212 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: you know, Mike White sounds like the guy you show 213 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: up at your high school reunion who you don't remember, 214 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: and you're like, I graduated with this guy up, you know, 215 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: like so that's that's one of and the guy through 216 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: for three touchdowns and over four hundred yards, like, oh 217 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: my god, Like you can't overlook this guy. So they 218 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: do have weapons. They are coming in incredibly motivated to 219 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: spoil what is a huge affair in Indianapolis. Your first 220 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: primetime game in four years that you are hosting. You 221 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: have split decisions on what you've done thus far this 222 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: season in primetime. We don't have to revisit Monday Night 223 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, but hey, Sunday Night football in San Francisco. 224 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: You put on a heck of the show in just 225 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: ridiculous conditions, and Michael Pittman emerged as one of the 226 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: young NFL stars for you in that game. As he 227 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: has continued to do. That's been a progression, not just 228 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: a one game instance, but I think that certainly was 229 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: a game that put him more so on a national radar. 230 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: Now you get to do it again. You have a 231 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: third primetime opportunity in this sport to this point of 232 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: the season, your first one at home, first one primetime 233 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: game since twenty seventeen. You need to go out and 234 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't even not even make a statement, because this 235 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: isn't a statement type of point. This isn't a win 236 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: over a twenty twenty playoff team or anything like that. 237 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: This is a team. You have to go out and 238 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: prove that you are better than so a couple things 239 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: to go here as we look ahead of this Jets game, Lara, 240 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up the previous two primetime games 241 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: just for this reason. Jonathan Taylor told us that he 242 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: and Michael Pittman Junior kind of like psyched themselves up 243 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: before these games, being like, hey man, primetime players make 244 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: primetime plays. Jonathan Taylor in primetime this year thirty three 245 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: carries for one hundred and sixty yards, six catches for 246 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen yards, three total touchdowns. Michael Pittman 247 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: Junior in primetime ten catches one hundred ninety four yards, 248 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, both of which he just like mossed a 249 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: cornerback into nineteen ninety eight. I mean the Colts primetime 250 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: players have stepped up in these games. Darius Leonard has 251 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: made a big impact in both of them. You know, 252 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: these are the games where guys, frankly that this is 253 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: where you earn a Pro Bowl bid is in these games, 254 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: and you're seeing it with guys like Taylor in Pittman 255 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: and the defense that's tied for the NFL lead and takeaways. 256 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: One one other thing here, though, guys, and I want 257 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: to throw this at you. I didn't put this in 258 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: our rundown kind of intentionally because I knew I was 259 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: going to write about it and I didn't want you 260 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: guys to cheat. Oh, this is going to replace the 261 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: trivia segment we usually do at the end of the episode. 262 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: Last cool primetime home game December fourteenth, twenty seventeen, against 263 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Only seven players who participated in that 264 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: game are still with the team. Give me some names. 265 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: Who do you think? T Y Hilton? Okay, t Y Hilton, 266 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: John Ryan Kelly did not play in that game. Okay. Oh, 267 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: Jack Doyles is another one. Um.

Okay, 270 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: so I'm thinking back. Oh, Marlon Mack. Marlon Mack is 271 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: the third one. Um, Zach Pascal. Zach Pascal is not 272 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: on the list. Okay, he may not come until eighteen. 273 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: I can't remember until eighteen. Okay. So I was trying 274 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: to think of how far u Rigo Sanchez, Rigo Sanchez, Okay. 275 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: Luke Rhodes, Luke Rhodes, Yep, we're missing two guys, both 276 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: on defense, both on defense. Kenny Moore start, Yep, you 277 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: got him both. Kenny Moore. By the way, I was 278 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: wearing forty two in that game. Okay. That is how 279 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: far back we are going since the NFL last Yeah, right, exactly, 280 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: That's how far back we're going since the NFL last 281 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: had a primetime game in Indianapolis. Um, it's kind of weird, 282 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: right the other one that was big Rookie Groves. The 283 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: other one yep, yeah, yeah. So that's a list t 284 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: Y Hilton, Kenny Moore, Jack Doyle, Rigo Sanchez, Luke Rhodes, 285 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack, and Grover Stewart seven players. If you want 286 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: to look at how much turnover happen in the NFL. 287 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, right, Kelly was on the team. Kelly 288 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: was on the team to play in that game, got it. 289 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: That's how long it's been. I mean, that is just 290 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: that that's wild. Like the Colts have been a playoff 291 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: team twice and they've played on primetime eight times since then. 292 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: Every single time has been on the road, meaning the 293 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: Colts get back at three o'clock, four o'clock, six o'clock, 294 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: seven o'clock, whenever it is in the morning.

I mean, you should have urgency 337 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: the whole year, but you know, let's be honest, things 338 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: really ramp up when you know you're in the back 339 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: half of your year. This is when you have to 340 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: make a definitive run to a playoff position if you 341 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: are going to be one of those teams who's vying 342 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: to play into January. Real quick before we bring on 343 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: Colleen will from NFL Network, t Y Hilton will not 344 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: play on Thursday night. He is a concussion and Cary 345 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: Willis has a He has an injury that Frankreich said 346 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: will probably keep him out. As we're potting here on Tuesday, 347 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: we do not have the final practice support. We don't 348 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: have final injury designations for the game, but keep an 349 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: eye out for that. On Wednesday. We'll also see what 350 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: the status of Quentin Nelson is. The Colts had these 351 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: walkthrough practices this week. That's really all I can do 352 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: for Thursday night, and Quintin Nelson would not have practiced 353 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: today based on the theoretical injury report. I don't know 354 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: if you're confused by that. This is just what happens 355 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Yes, exactly. We're just relaying the information 356 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: and our great pr staff is doing the best they can. 357 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: Shout out to matt County by the way, for wearing 358 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: a Ohio State jersey.

Yes, me and Matt Contie. 378 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: We're still trying to figure out exactly how we're related, 379 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: but we are in fact related. So anything for family, 380 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: guys an exactly anything for family here with the Colts. 381 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: So Colleen, I want to start with this. When you 382 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: look at the AFC, who's good? You know, that's a 383 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: great question because coming off of the Monday night game 384 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Giants, obviously the Chiefs are 385 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: nowhere near where they used to be. They're kind of 386 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: just like a shell of themselves, and I feel like 387 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: when I'm watching them, they just can't figure out their 388 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: new reality, which is not dominant like they always are. 389 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: So really it's the Titans at the top. But then 390 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: without Derrick Henry, you sort of have to correct it 391 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: a little bit because I'm not sure how that's going 392 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: to affect them. It will obviously in a huge way 393 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: because he's been such a massive part of that offense, 394 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: especially when you look back years past in the playoff 395 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: pushes and the playoff runs. He has been just the 396 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: center of everything. And so they'll obviously use a ton 397 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: of play action still. And the Titans have to go 398 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: up against the Rams this week in LA which is 399 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: not going to be easy, especially considering they just got 400 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: von Miller. But it's I think that this is it's 401 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: a conference that's wide open. It's nowhere near as packed 402 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: as the NFC, where you have all of these teams 403 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: with one loss or just right there. So the Colts 404 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: they have a shot to make some noise. It's just 405 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: gotta It really depends on what happens with the Titans. Colleen. 406 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you've set that up perfectly, because 407 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: I was watching the show last Thursday night, as I 408 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: am sure basically all of America was. You guys had 409 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: the matchup of Packers Cardinals, which was incredible, and in 410 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: the pregame show, you guys had a really fun segment 411 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: where you had the Pumpkins of like your you know, 412 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: kind of tender team, and I mean, you knew Joe 413 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: Thomas was not going to knock out the Browns right 414 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: as everyone's like hammering down all of the Pumpkins, and 415 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: the Colts were not one of the teams that you 416 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: guys like knocked out. What gives you confidence that? And 417 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: of course you guys had yet to be able to 418 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 1: see what happened on Sunday afternoon between Colts and Titans, 419 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: which was a massive game in terms of AFC implications. 420 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: What gives you confidence that there is that potential kind 421 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: of coupled with all the parody there is in the AFC, 422 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: but especially it gives you confidence here that the Colts 423 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: might be able to make this November late December type 424 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: of run. Well, first, let me just say that Steve 425 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: Smith stole my pumpkin. I was supposed to smash the 426 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: Panthers out of the playoff picture, and then who he 427 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: was gonna go for the Putton Panthers exactly. That was 428 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: not the plan. He was supposed to knock out the Seahawks, 429 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: and so I had a whole big thing planned and 430 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I was like, all right, cool, 431 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I guess uh, I guess I'm gonna go with the 432 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: Seahawks because Geno Smith so and you obviously saw what happened. 433 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: The Seahawks did not want to get smashed out of 434 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: the playoffs because I could not take the sledgehammer successfully 435 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: to the fucking So it's fine, and I'm still recovering. 436 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: My ego is very fragile, and everything's gonna be okay. 437 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: But the cults, I do think that they have a 438 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: great shot because of I love this guy so much. 439 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: I just am so enamored with Jonathan Taylor and what 440 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: he's been able to do in this offense. The fact 441 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: that he's second in the NFL and rushing and he's 442 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: I honestly think he's been the most complete back in 443 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: the league, averaging five point five yards per carry. He's 444 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: averaged over one hundred and fourteen total yards per game, 445 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: that's fourth in the NFL. So he has all of 446 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: the numbers. We've seen him go over one hundred scrimming 447 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: yards game game after game after game, and I just 448 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: think the way that he's able to catch the ball 449 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: out of the backfield too, it really helps out, especially 450 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: when you have a guy like t Y Hilton who 451 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: now won't be available because of the concussion and he's 452 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: missed I know that it missed a ton of games, 453 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: but it just feels like Jonathan Taylor can really be 454 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: a pivotal part of the offense and what the Colts need. 455 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: Because watching Carson Wentz, especially at the end of that 456 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: game against the Titans, the last eight minutes the two picks, 457 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: there was just times where he was really pressing and 458 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: then that interception in overtime where Jonathan Taylor was wide open. 459 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: So if things just slow down a little bit, check down, 460 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: take the checks, I know it's right there, it's right there. 461 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: And then like the pick six in regulation on the 462 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: screen pass. I just these things could have been avoided. 463 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: And I think that they were on The Colts were 464 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: on such a good track and Carson Wentz was playing 465 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: really well, and so I'm going to just I'm gonna 466 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: say this, in Mulligan against a division rival, weird things happen, 467 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: and I have confidence that the Colts can still come around. Well, 468 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: that kind of brings me right into my next my 469 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: question for you. You bring up Carson Wentz and a 470 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: little bit of the issues we saw in the Titans game, 471 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: just kind of take a big picture. What have you 472 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: seen from the reunion between he and Frank right to 473 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: this point, and then kind of moving forward if they 474 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: can get over that step. And we saw two games 475 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: against the Titans where the first game, you know, Carson 476 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: wasn't fully healthy, but in the second game, those are 477 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: kind of his you know, two games. You look at 478 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: that his worst performance of the year. Yeah, and you 479 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: look at this reunion and it's been up and down 480 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: because the first three games of the season they start 481 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: winless and one of those is against the Titans. So 482 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: the fact that the Titans now have both wins in 483 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: terms of this division, I think that that's it's tough, 484 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: but I like what I've seen otherwise. After those first 485 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: three games of the season, I think Carson Wentz really 486 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: started to find a rhythm and get comfortable and show 487 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: that some of those mistakes that were going on in 488 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: Philadelphia he could overcome. Now, it's coming off of a 489 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: game where he missed so many throws at twenty seven 490 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: of fifty one. It was a really rough outing for him. 491 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: And then the interceptions that I just outlined when they 492 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: really could have been avoided the Big six and regulation 493 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: it was right to Elijah Moulden. So I think that 494 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: against the Jets that Carson Wentz he has, he'll have 495 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: plenty of time in the pocket because of that lack 496 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: of a pass rush and that the Jets have. So 497 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: I think that that will help him because in those 498 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: moments where he has time, you could see that he's comfortable, 499 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: and you can see that Frank Reich is doing everything 500 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: he possibly can to put Carson Wentz in good positions 501 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: to succeed, and I like the reunion. I think that 502 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: it's worked. I don't know how Carson Wentz would have 503 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: been in any other spot, but I think because of 504 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: his familiarity with Frank Reich, I think things could be 505 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: going in the right direction for him. Colleen, you're a 506 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: Philadelphia native. You spend a lot of time they're working 507 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: for Comcast Sports nut Fox twenty nine. I'm sure you 508 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: still have a lot of family back in Philadelphia when 509 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: they ask you about Carson Wentz. Now, because it anytime 510 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: we with the Colts put a tweet out about Carson 511 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: Wentz that shows how well car and Wentz has played 512 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: this year, Like you would think, we just like told 513 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: everyone in Philadelphia that like Geno's Steaks sucks like it is. 514 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: It's incredible. The response, Like when people ask you, with 515 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: the knowledge you have of the NFL, how do you 516 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: talk to them about Carson Wentz, Well, I feel like 517 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: you're asking me about my parents, because they will sort 518 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: of be like, oh my god, you see what he's doing, 519 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: and we blah blah, why did we get rid of him? 520 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: And now we have Jalen Hurts, And so I tell 521 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: everyone to just slow down, take a deep breath. The 522 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: things that were going on in Philadelphia with Carson Wentz, 523 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: they weren't good and there was no coming back from that. 524 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: I just after watching Carson Wentz go through everything that 525 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: he did last year, it was just to the point 526 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: where he was not going to be able to be 527 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: put back together into that player that was successful in 528 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, that had that MVP run. And it wasn't 529 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: just his fault either in Philadelphia. There were so many 530 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: other things. But of course all of the blame goes 531 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: on the quarterback, but we're talking about injuries upon injuries 532 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, the receivers. They weren't running the 533 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: ball then either, and so it's all of this piles up, 534 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: and really, at the end of the day, Carson Wentz 535 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: just needed to get out, and I think it was 536 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: best for both sides. I wouldn't say both sides are 537 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: thriving now, but at least they can move on. Colleen. 538 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: I want to take it kind of big picture because 539 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: one of the NFL storylines that has emerged is, of 540 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: course the consideration to move the combine outside of Indianapolis, 541 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: and you know, down I don't want it to happen. 542 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: This is what I want to hear. Its like from 543 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: your perspective, like, what are the things that Indianapolis does 544 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: so well as a host city for the combine? But 545 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: maybe what are the things that the league might be 546 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: looking for that Indie could possibly maybe step up to 547 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: make it so continuously desirable Or this is a loaded question. 548 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Does it take going elsewhere and testing on the market 549 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: to kind of appreciate what you have in our fair 550 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: little circle city. Don't ruin a good thing when you 551 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: have it. I love the Combine in Indianapolis. It's what 552 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: makes the combine so great because it's a smaller city 553 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: and everyone is together. You are all going to the 554 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: same spots, you run into people all over the place. 555 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 1: And the fact that this is just me being a 556 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: little soft. Now that I've left Philadelphia and I'm in 557 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: la I love that there's skyways and that there's tunnels 558 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: everywhere so I don't have to go outside. Well it's 559 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: cold because I've been there so many times, or it's 560 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: snowing sideways and it's so cold and so windy. And 561 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: by the way, what's going on with the temperature on Thursday? 562 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: Can you guys help me out there with this. Is 563 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: it like seriously going to be in the twenties at 564 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: some point? Yeah, we actually just watch this. I've really 565 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: been flexing my meteorological muscle or seawolf because I have 566 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: been watching all of this. This is what. This is 567 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: what that Sunday night game in Santa Clara did. I've 568 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: now been like on the forecast day in and day out. Yeah, 569 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be probably around kickoff like in the forties, 570 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: but we don't know that. I mean I doubt that, 571 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: like the roof in the window are going to be 572 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: open with those type conditions, It's probably gonna be close, 573 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: so you don't really have to worry about it like 574 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: on the field. So it's get I'm gonna say around 575 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: like forty degrees. Overnight bill dropped like twenty eight. But 576 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: you should be warm and snuggled in bed by that point. 577 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: The problem is our pregame show is outside. You know, 578 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: this is just me being selfish. Shield. We'll have our 579 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: postgame show off the field, but pregame we're outside, We're 580 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: with the fans, We're in the cold. How many Parkos 581 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: should I wear? Twelve? Yeah? Well I got you girl. 582 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: If you get into town you don't have enough, you 583 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: just call me. I'm nine miles from the stadium. I 584 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: will bring down additional garments and whatnot. Yet, definitely you're 585 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna want a little jacket, maybe some gloves, Yes, I 586 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: need of that. No headwear though, because you can't smash 587 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: the good hair. Thank you. In regards to apparel, though, 588 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: you have incredible shoe game, serious shoe swagger. How much 589 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: in advance do you plan out your shoe game per game? 590 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: This has to be something it is that it is 591 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: very well executed, you know. I wish that I could 592 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: tell you that this has been planned for weeks. And 593 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: I am so organized that I know automatically what I'm wearing. 594 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know I leave tomorrow for Indianapolis. I 595 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: think I leave my house at six am to get 596 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: to the airport. I still don't know what I'm wearing 597 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: on Thursday night football yet, So it's kind of a 598 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, just see to your pants. I fly open 599 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: the closet doors, I see what's inside, and I pray 600 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: that something will work, especially in conditions like that. However, 601 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: I love Indie so much. And speaking of shoes, the 602 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: shoes that I am wearing right now, I just put 603 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: them on. I have not put them on since the 604 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: last combine in Indianapolis. They're like one of my faves, 605 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: and there are still all of the pellets there. I 606 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: can't get them out of my shoes. It drives out. 607 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: It's like sand, it just sticks with you forever. No, 608 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: and they're now attached to my socks. They've gone through 609 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,239 Speaker 1: the water. Yes, Wait, what are the shoes? Give us 610 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: the details and then I know Casey has a follow 611 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: up question, and then I'll get off of my my shoe. 612 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: Shot there. They're wolf grays, they're they're threes, and they 613 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: they're one of my favorites. So I hardly ever wear them. 614 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: And I just pulled them out today because I was 615 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: just doing a light kind of office work today going 616 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: into the office, didn't have to do a ton of walking. 617 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: So you can't get the crease in the shoes, and 618 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: you cannot crease them. Well, rarely, rarely does Lara have 619 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: competition for best shoes. She's got great shoes. You got 620 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: it now this week, Clara, you better bring it. I 621 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: think I can't wait. That's what we as fatigue girls do. 622 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: We compensate for our lack of with really good shoe game, 623 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: no question, that's exactly right. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna 624 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: move off the shoe game for just a little bit 625 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: and go it's gonna go on the field. When you 626 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: look at this Jets team coming off a huge win 627 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: over the Bengals, This guy named Mike White, who we've 628 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: talked about earlier on the podcast, to hu La essentially 629 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: compared him to that guy at the high school reunion 630 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: You forgot went to your high school. You're like, oh, yeah, 631 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,719 Speaker 1: Mike White. What is there to know about Mike White 632 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: and this Jets team? But everything? Who knows anything about 633 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Mike White. He came out of nowhere and this is 634 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: what a performance in his first career start on a 635 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: team that looked like had absolutely no pulse whatsoever the 636 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: rest of the season prior, and then he comes in 637 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: and throws her over four hundred yards. He threw forty 638 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: five times in that game, three touchdowns. And this is 639 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: against a Bengals team that everyone was praising me included 640 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: and specifically that defense. So Mike White toasted them. And honestly, 641 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: this makes that Joe Flacco trade looked ridiculous at this point. 642 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: But I'm just I was so impressed with his poise, 643 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: with his confidence at this What a performance by him. 644 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: Mike White, He's a stud. What can I say, Mike White? 645 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean throwing for over four hundred yards. Like you said, 646 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: the Jets had thirty two first downs against the Bengals, 647 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: but I want to ask you this because it is 648 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: thirty two. I mean, those those chain guys got their 649 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: steps in. They held Cincinnati, though to two point six 650 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: yards per carry, Joe Mixon fourteen carries for thirty three yards. 651 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this wasn't just Mike White winning a game 652 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: against a team that a lot of people have pegged 653 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs. They played a pretty complete game. 654 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: And we talked about this earlier in the podcast Colleen, 655 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: where Lara Today asked Darius Leonard like about not, you know, 656 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: taking the Jets seriously and she couldn't even get the 657 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: words out of her mouth that they also beat the Titans. So, right, 658 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: what are we to make of the Jets? Were they 659 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: of these two They've slayed two playoff teams, yet we 660 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: still look at them as the Jets, right, So it's 661 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: like they're spoilers. But also they're a little frisky, so 662 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: it's a team that you really can't count out, especially 663 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: if this Mike White guy keeps doing things like he 664 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: did the other night. And we heard from the head 665 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,959 Speaker 1: coach saying that anything is possible talking about Mike White 666 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: starting when Zach Wilson returned. So Robert Sala, He's like, 667 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure that he was impressed with what he saw, 668 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: and that has to do wonders for the locker room 669 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 1: because this was an offense that had a season high 670 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: five hundred and eleven total yards of offense at a 671 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: clip of six point six yards per play, that they 672 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: were moving, and then not to mention even the rookie 673 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: running back Michael Carter, he was coming off. He's talk 674 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: about his best game, fifteen for seventy seven yards in 675 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: the score. He also caught the ball really well too, 676 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: So he worked out as a security blanket for Mike White, 677 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: and you know he's running. He just makes a ton 678 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: of guys. Miss. I just I was really impressed with 679 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: what I saw and I was really surprised, Like honestly, 680 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: I was shocked by this game. Gonna be a really 681 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: fun game, though. Yeah, I feel like I feel like, 682 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,959 Speaker 1: you know, I was really just being playful. I don't 683 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: want all my western Kentucky faithful, you know, being a 684 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: gal who was born you're just worrying. Jack Doyle's listening 685 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: to this podcast and he's going to get mad at you. 686 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: He's like, don't come for the Hilltoppers, like you know, 687 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: don't underestimate us. So all in fun, all the respect 688 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: to Mike White. I appreciate him and the time that 689 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: he spent in bowling Green.

The Colts. Yes, 722 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: they're three and five, they're tenth in DVOA right now. 723 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Usually, if you're tenth and dboa halfway 724 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: through the season, it means good things are coming the 725 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: rest of the season.
