Speaker 3: He saying about you. My friend Santa was great.

32
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 6: He came a little later and in the Value household

33
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 6: because the kiddo's just decided they didn't want to go

34
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 6: to sleep. You know how that goes, having a little one.

35
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 6: So it was like, you know, please, you know he

36
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 6: we're watching the tracker. You know that the tracker now

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 6: and you know when he started to make that trek

38
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 6: north towards North America, my oldest son was like a

39
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 6: nervous records real, we've got to go to bad guys.

40
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 6: He's gonna pass right by us. But oh it was great.

41
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: Here he comes. He's making up for lost time.

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: But you know he's like making his bed room. Oh yeah,

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: the last ditch effort.

44
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: Yes, be good.

45
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 6: We got the help on the shelf. He went down

46
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 6: and he was like, I've been really good.

47
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I tell him I've been good.

48
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 6: You know how it goes. So the Taylor House old.

49
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah it was really good, really good.

50
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, kid, we had a little bit of a scare kid,

51
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to bed.

52
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 5: Okay.

53
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: I heard the footsteps coming down the the stairwell.

54
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: We're like, you know, cut them off at the past.

55
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: What you doing. Let's let's goad use that bathroom at

56
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: the top of you know, I'm thirsty. Oh well, there's

57
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: sinks upstairs.

58
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 5: All right.

59
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna talk some football here in this holiday season.

60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: As I said, two games left for the Colts, fresh

61
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: off that thirty eight to thirty win over the Tennessee Titans,

62
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: where the Colts pounded them up front, franchise record three

63
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five yards on the ground, Jonathan Taylor

64
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: proved like he's a superstar once again, Anthony Richardson setting

65
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: a career high in rushing yards, and uh, you know,

66
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: passing a ton of milestones.

67
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that.

68
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: Also.

69
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna build upon those performances and how they can

70
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: carry over here in these final two games, starting with

71
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: the Giants. And Kenny Moore, the second who had those

72
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: two picks, including the game sealer against the Titans. He's

73
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: gonna join us a little bit later on in this podcast,

74
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll wrap up the show talking about the Giants,

75
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: and obviously it's been a very disappointing season on their end,

76
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: but they still have NFL players, including Moleague neighbors and

77
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: Mike and McFadden, some stars and their secondary So we'll

78
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: talk about the challenges that they still pose in the

79
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: fact that hey, they're.

80
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Still you know, something to play.

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: They're looking to get their first, believe it or not,

82
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: their first home win of the season coming out on

83
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Colts. But I want to talk about

84
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: playoff odds, fellas, can you follow me on this?

85
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: All right?

86
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: Just we could try try, just try to follow me here,

87
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: because there's two games and or two games left, I

88
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: should say the Colts do not have a chance to

89
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: make the playoffs if they lose one of their final

90
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: two games, all right, So all of the stuff we're

91
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: gonna throw at you here is contingent upon the Colts

92
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: winning out. They've got to beat the Giants and they

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: have to beat the Jags to at least have a

94
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: chance to get some help. So in addition to that,

95
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: the Colts need the Chargers to lose both of their

96
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: final two games. They play at the Patriots and they

97
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: play at the Raiders. Casey that's the simplest way for

98
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: the Colts to make the playoffs.

99
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 6: That is, yes, and both those games, as you mentioned

100
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 6: on the road, Yeah, and you know it, Stranger things

101
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 6: have happened, but that is one of the ways.

102
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: So that's the simplest way. The other path is way

103
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: more complicated. This is where you guys are gonna have

104
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: to really lock in here. So this path includes the

105
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: Broncos losing their final two games of the season, all right.

106
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: So they close out the season, they take on Cincinnati

107
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: on the road on Saturday, and then they play Kansas

108
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: City to end the season at home. Kansas City won yesterday,

109
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: so that's not necessarily good for the Colts. You want

110
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Kansas City to be playing for something incentive wise late

111
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: in the season. So we'll talk about that in just second.

112
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: So the Colts need the Broncos to lose out in

113
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: either Cincinnati or Miami to win out, correct, that's what

114
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: you need to have happen, all right. There also a

115
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: chance we have to throw this in there with this

116
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: scenario involved as well, the Colts have a chance to

117
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 2: be eliminated from the playoffs before they even kick off

118
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: on Sunday. That's because if the Chargers and the Broncos

119
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: win and those two teams play on Saturday. If the

120
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: Chargers and Broncos both win on Saturday, the Colts are

121
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs before they even kick off on

122
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Giants. And that is I hate to

123
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: say it, but that's the gut punch. That's the satchel punch.

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: You do not want to have happened to you before

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: you go into that game thinking, mindset wise, you still

126
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: have a chance in terms of preparation and all that

127
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: going into the game.

128
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the hardest one. That's the one that I've

129
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 6: been You know, you got no help on Christmas, if

130
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 6: you will. From a cold standpoint, you really wanted the

131
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 6: Steelers to pull up the game against the Chiefs because,

132
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 6: as you mentioned, you wanted next week the Chiefs to

133
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 6: have to play to try and get that first round

134
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 6: by which they locked up yesterday. But yeah, if Saturday goes,

135
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 6: it would just be really tough, honestly, because you know,

136
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 6: playoffs are the odds and scenarios are what they are.

137
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 6: But ultimately I know for me, you know, being around

138
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 6: this team and covering it, I really want next next

139
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 6: week to really manage and want to have a lot

140
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 6: of that weight being hanging in the balance whether or

141
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 6: not you get in or you don't. You want it

142
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 6: to mean something, and you really hope that that doesn't

143
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 6: all come which, if I'm playing you know that side

144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 6: of it. I really think that there's a really good

145
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 6: scenario for the Colts to come out on Sunday and

146
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 6: still have everything they want in front of them.

147
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: Bill, for you, which which playoff path for the Colts

148
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: are you most optimistic about? Is it the Chargers losing out,

149
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: Is it the Broncos losing out, or is it the

150
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: Bengals winning out, which would then mean the Broncos lose

151
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: a game, and or the Dolphins and their ability to

152
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: win out Which is most likely to help the Colts.

153
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: Well, first, I don't if I don't keeping things on

154
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: the right right, I.

155
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: Don't see the Charges losing both of the games to

156
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 4: the Raiders and the Hats. I don't see them losing

157
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: both those games, so I see them at least winning one.

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: So I think the easiest path for the Colts in

159
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: this sense is Broncos losing their two games, And with

160
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: the Broncos losing their two games, I think the Dolphins

161
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: also winning their two games, because I think they played

162
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: the Jets and the Browns. So if they beat the

163
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: Jets and Browns, which on paper, mimas should Yeah, Mama

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: should do that. And if coach of course went out,

165
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: I think that would be the easiest scenario. Now, I

166
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: know the Broncos are playing the Chiefs and the Chiefs

167
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: aren't having much to play for, but the Chiefs are

168
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: still the Chiefs. Andy Reid is the coach there, so

169
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: I think they'll they'll come out and be ready to play.

170
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: So I think that might be the easiest scenario for

171
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: the Coats as far as getting into the playoffs and

172
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: making sure they take care of the business themselves.

173
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 1: Is that the Carson Wentz game cases to potential.

174
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 6: Potential Carson Wentz game, And I mean, wouldn't that be

175
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 6: rather ironic?

176
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that would.

177
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 6: Be some serious irony coming here if if that, because

178
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 6: I really do think that. You know, when you look

179
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 6: at that game on Saturday with the Broncos and the Bengals,

180
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 6: the Bengals record is what it is, but when you

181
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 6: have Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase doing what they've done

182
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 6: this year, they're a hard team regardless of how the

183
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 6: record is. I know that they're still battling on a

184
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 6: very outside chance to make the playoffs, but those two guys,

185
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 6: they can wreck a game any week. So I do

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 6: think that that is a The most realistic possibility is

187
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 6: the Broncos falling, and it would be very I mean,

188
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 6: it would be totally NFL. The Colts hoping Carson Wentz

189
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 6: and the Kansas City Chiefs can knock off the Broncos

190
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 6: in that finale. That would be just very NFL like.

191
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: And the Bengals still have some weapons out there, you know,

192
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 4: with Chase and Burrow, so they have some weapons to

193
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: go out there and.

194
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: The good Yeah, so they have a chance.

195
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 4: So that's why I said, I think that would be

196
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: the easiest scenario for the for the Coast to get in.

197
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: All right, So if you follow that, congratulations, Here's here's

198
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: maybe an easier way to do it here.

199
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: So here's your your rooting guide if you will.

200
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: Okay, So on Saturday, you want the Patriots to beat

201
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: the Chargers, yp we just lay that out. You want

202
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals to beat the Broncos. That's a home game

203
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: for Cincinnati. So we talked about that on Sunday Obviously,

204
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: you need the Colts to beat the Giants. You want

205
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: the Dolphins to beat the Browns. Well done, right there,

206
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Bill Brooks, So you nailed that. And then you want

207
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: the Bills to beat the Jets. And the reason why

208
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: you want the Bills to win is so that they're

209
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: still in somewhat of a threat.

210
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: To push the Chiefs.

211
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

212
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: Right, that's the way I see it.

213
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: Correct.

214
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: You know you still want the Bills to be in

215
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: contention to have something to play for in terms of

216
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: the top overall seed.

217
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 6: Well, I think honestly, with the Chiefs winning, though it

218
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 6: a little bit throws a wrinkle in the Bills. But

219
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 6: the Bills thing is, you've got the Ravens kind of

220
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 6: right on their heels for that second So I think

221
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 6: the Bills are going to have to play out regardless

222
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 6: because I think you want to be able to have

223
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 6: that second seed compared to the third seed too. So

224
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: even if that first overall seed I don't isn't there

225
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: for the Bills, I think you would still want them.

226
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 6: They're probably going to be playing their guys because they

227
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 6: want that second seed.

228
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: So I think I don't think.

229
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 6: You have to worry about the Bills not putting out there, guys,

230
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: and what Josh Allen has done. I mean, it is

231
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 6: like it seems like he's he's essentially going out and

232
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 6: having five to six touchdowns almost.

233
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Every week counting for him.

234
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, that's probably what you're going to expect

235
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 6: the next couple of weeks too out of him.

236
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: All Right, the Colts did so many things well in

237
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 2: their last game against the Tennessee Titans. Let's let's talk

238
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: about how they can build upon those. And I want

239
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: to do this on an old school segment called either

240
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: neither or both? You remember this, Yes, this is always

241
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: a good discussion point here. So let's let's debate some

242
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: things that could happen on Sunday based on the opponent

243
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: and again what the Colts did against Tennessee last Sunday.

244
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: So this Sunday of fellas, here's what I'm going to

245
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: pose to you this Sunday. Jonathan Taylor, who had two

246
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen rushing yards against Tennessee and had three

247
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: touchdowns this Sunday, He's going to rush for over one

248
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: hundred yards again, and Anthony Richardson will score a rushing

249
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: touchdown again. Casey Valley either neither or both on some

250
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: of the great performances the Colts had and the running

251
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: game between those two guys and the two headed monster.

252
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say both, and I think both those numbers

253
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 6: can be well exceeding what you laid out. I think,

254
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor, you have done such a great job in

255
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 6: laying out the numbers that Taylor has had in the

256
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 6: months of December and later, and it's historic numbers. I mean,

257
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: he's averaging I think it's over one hundred and eighteen

258
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 6: yards per game on the ground in either December or January,

259
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 6: which is the tops in NFL history. So I think

260
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 6: it's a given that Jonathan Taylor's gonna go out and

261
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 6: do this. And if you look at who the Giants are,

262
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 6: one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. So

263
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 6: the path is there for the Colts to kind of

264
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 6: build on what they did last week. And I envisioned

265
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 6: the Colts being in the red zone multiple times, and

266
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 6: we know how deadly Anthony Richardson is in the red zone,

267
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 6: so I wouldn't be shocked to see, you know, Jonathan

268
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 6: Taylor go out and run for a buck fifty and

269
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 6: Anthony Richardson have a couple rushing scores inside the red zone,

270
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna go both on that first one.

271
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: What do you think I'm with Casey on that because

272
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 4: as big both, Yeah, big both, that's case we said. Now,

273
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 4: as far as a yard is concerned, I think his

274
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: last three touchdowns or both, two of them in the

275
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: red zone and one just outside the red zone twenty

276
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: three yards. So he's very, very very effective in the

277
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: red zone for the Coat. So I see him getting

278
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: another touchdown. And Jonathan Taylor, I mean, what can you say.

279
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: I mean, last couple of games he had, you know,

280
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: two games over one hundred yards. He's been playing extremely well,

281
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: I think in the last couple of games. And I'm

282
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: not mistaken. I think the Giants are giving up over

283
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty yards. Yeah, it's a game, so

284
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 4: they're not They're not doing too well against the run.

285
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 3: I think five yards carriage.

286
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I look for the coach to hang the

287
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: hat on the running game, and hang the hat, especially

288
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: against this Giants team, to run the ball, to run

289
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 4: the ball, to run the ball, and then you know it,

290
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: just take take advantage of the Giants that are weak

291
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: against the run.

292
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: You know, Jonathan Taylor's coming off back to back one

293
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: hundred yard performances, all right, And like you said, he's

294
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: really finding his groove. In the last three games, he

295
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: should have three touchdowns over forty yards, right.

296
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we all know you dropped.

297
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: All the goal line, but that was a forty one

298
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: yard essentially a touchdown run. And then they had the

299
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: sixty five yarder last week, the seventy yarder against Tennessee.

300
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: So he's really finding his groove. Is this the closest

301
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: thing to the twenty twenty one version of anth excuse me,

302
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: of Jonathan Taylor that we've seen. I mean, he's really

303
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: it appears like in the zone coupled with how great

304
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: this offensive line is playing here recently too.

305
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. And I think it's interesting too

306
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 6: because I want to say, it was just three weeks ago.

307
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 6: It was laid out by a couple people that they

308
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 6: were this close from breaking a big one because Taylor

309
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: had been had been X amount of games since he

310
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 6: had had you know, a long run. It was you know,

311
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 6: it seemed like it just wasn't it wasn't turning for him,

312
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 6: if you will. And the last couple of weeks he's

313
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 6: really found his groove and you laid it out there.

314
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 6: The offensive line has done a wonderful job last handful

315
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: of weeks. They don't get enough credit. They never do

316
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 6: offensive lineman never get enough credit. I know Quentin Nelson

317
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 6: gets all the credit in the world for what he's

318
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 6: done the last handful of weeks, but I mean that

319
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 6: whole offensive line deserves so much credit. But Jonathan Taylor,

320
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 6: I don't know what it is about. I mean, I

321
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 6: laid out you know what he does in December and January.

322
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 6: He just turns it on. But he is really finding

323
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 6: his groove here lately.

324
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: How much of it is the Anthony Richardson effect and

325
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: the Colts you know, since his return back in the lineup,

326
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: Bill really understanding and finding the sweet spot of how

327
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: they want to play and how they want to operate

328
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: in the running game now with Richardson and Taylor healthy

329
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: at the same time, I.

330
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: Think that has a lot to do with it. I think,

331
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: you know, since Ar's come back, you know that eight

332
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: to ten times running the ball out there, it puts

333
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: a defense in a buine where hey, do we stop Ar,

334
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: do we go to j T? What do we do?

335
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: And then when one of them, hits a big play,

336
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: then it puts it back in them. My Hey, we

337
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: got to stop this guy, and now opening up for

338
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: the other person. So I think right now Colts have

339
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: found something that they can really really hang the hat on.

340
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: As I said before, Hey, look, Jonathan Taylor can run

341
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 4: the ball. We know that he can make those big plays,

342
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: those big explosive plays. We've seen that Ar can be

343
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: very effective in the run game long as he keeps

344
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: on doing what he's doing, especially in the red zone.

345
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: So I think both of these guys put some fear

346
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: in the defense. So I think it's perfect that since

347
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: Ar has gotten back, how the Colts have used both

348
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: of these guys in the run game.

349
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: The Colts have run for over one hundred and forty

350
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: four yards in three straight games, first time they've done

351
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: that since twenty eighteen. And I love the diversity the

352
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: Cults are using inside the running game, the rushing attack,

353
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: inside zone, outside zone, misdirection, quarterback runs, Williams using a

354
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: full back with Drew Obasfield running out of the pistol formation,

355
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: getting Jonathan Taylor going downhill earlier in the down if

356
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: you will.

357
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: I love the attack.

358
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: I love the again the sweet spot the Colts have

359
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: found within their running game the last couple of games.

360
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: It's really fun to watch. It's really become the identity

361
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: of their team since Anthony Richardson has come back in

362
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: the lineup after that brief benching. Also something to note

363
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: when you talk about either neither or both, when Anthony

364
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Richardson potentially can find the end zone. If he scores

365
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: a rushing touchdown on Sunday, he'll be the first Colts

366
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: quarterback ever to have a rushing touchdown in four straight games.

367
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: Wow.

368
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, that's really and he's already set the Colts

369
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: record for rushing touchdowns in a season, rushing yards in

370
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: a season. My man, here is really really coming on,

371
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: all right, Either neither or both. Let's go to the

372
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Casey, I'll start with you.

373
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: The Colts will record at least one interception against the Giants.

374
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: Drew Locke, by the way, got a little bit of

375
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: a shoulder deal, looks like he's going to start, looks

376
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: like he's going to give it a go, And the

377
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Colts will hold the Giants to under one hundred yards rushing.

378
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Either neither or both contexts here, the Colts have six

379
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: interceptions in the last two games combined, and they've given

380
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: up seventy five yards or less rushing the last two games,

381
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: including only sixty five to Tennessee last time out.

382
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: Where are you going, oh man, either or both.

383
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go either with the interception and maybe not

384
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 6: the one hundred yards rushing just because you got a

385
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 6: mobile quarterback and Andrew Locke that's kind of his you know,

386
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be one of those things. The

387
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 6: offensive line has been a struggle there in New York,

388
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 6: so he's gonna have to be in scramble mode a

389
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 6: little bit.

390
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 5: Yep.

391
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: So I think you got that Tyrone, Tracy, Devin Singletary.

392
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 6: They got some you know, decent running back in the backfield.

393
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say that that collection can probably go

394
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 6: over one hundred. But this this Giants team, you look

395
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 6: at turnover margin and it's it's it's pretty eye opening.

396
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 6: You know, they're giving the ball away and they are

397
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 6: not taking the football away. They're one of the worst

398
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 6: teams in creating turnovers and they're giving the ball away

399
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 6: a lot. So I think you can count on the

400
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 6: Colts having at least one interception and I'm not saying

401
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 6: they're gonna grow for a run for one hundred and fifty,

402
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 6: but I think it's gonna be right at that line.

403
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 6: I think a hundred is probably.

404
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going either, baby, all right, Okay, good

405
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 2: explanation and good and good explanation.

406
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: Good explanation. Now what I am going to say?

407
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 5: Both?

408
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 4: Right, I'm gonna go say both.

409
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: I think Yeah, I think it's gonna be a party

410
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: in New York.

411
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

412
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: I think the Coats have done nice job. And I

413
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 4: think you know that the Giants are only running getting

414
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 4: one hundred and seven yards per game, okay, rushing, So

415
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: I think the Coast can step it up and do

416
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: some good things out there, put some pressure on Drew

417
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 4: Lock and stop the running game. So I like what

418
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 4: I see in regards to uh the Coast stopped and run.

419
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: And as Drew Lock Drew Locke, I think he's had

420
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 4: what in the six games, he's played four interceptions, so

421
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: he does he does throw it to someone so he

422
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 4: can't throw it to other people. So I'm looking for

423
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 4: the Coast to continue that streak of getting another interception.

424
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 6: They've allowed four pick sixes on the year in New York.

425
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 6: I could see a fifth.

426
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm gonna go both both baby and that

427
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: pick six.

428
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: Maybe it's coming from Kenny Moore this Yeah, two picks,

429
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: including the game ceiling interception, that takeaway in the final

430
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: minutes on Mason Rudolph and boy, that would be a

431
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: sight to see right before the New Year's the ball

432
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: dropping in.

433
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see.

434
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore with an interception, taking it back for a

435
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 2: touchdown and then spiking the ball, you know, like that

436
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: one in Times Square. That would be something sweet. So

437
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: we'll see if that can happen. But again, my man

438
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: number twenty three. Kenny Moore joined us earlier today on

439
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: the Official Colts Podcast. Great perspective on the season on

440
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: the Giants, and he's also the Colts nomination for the

441
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.

442
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: Four Walter Payton Man of the Year. Here's Kenny Moore.

443
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: With us on the Official Colts Podcast.

444
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 2: All right, we're joined now by Kenny Moore, the second

445
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Colts cornerback, the longest tenured defensive player on that side

446
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: of the ball for the Indianapolis Colts. Kenny, you are

447
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: fresh off two picks against the Tennessee Titans. It's the

448
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 2: second time in your career you've notched two picks in

449
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: the same game. You've done it now in back to

450
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: back seasons. Last year you had two against Carolina. This

451
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: year you have two in the same game against Tennessee.

452
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: Want to walk off fashion? I got to ask you,

453
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: what is the feeling because Colts fans, you know, the

454
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: common man like me, we're never gonna understand what it

455
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: feels like to get a game ceiling walk off interception.

456
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 2: So what's that moment like when you in the game

457
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: with the football in your hands as a defensive player.

458
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: Man.

459
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 7: Honestly, just going out there for that last drive of

460
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 7: the game. It was a time of the game where

461
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 7: they're down to what two possessions. Yeah, and it was

462
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 7: a close one. You know, if they scored, they got

463
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 7: to go for two. So it was one of those situations.

464
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 7: So I don't think they had much time at all,

465
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 7: you know, less than fifteen seconds or so to really,

466
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 7: you know, march down the field. So honestly, I just

467
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 7: wanted to do my job. I just wanted to make

468
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 7: sure that during this time of the game, I can't

469
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 7: come up with a mistake to help that team win

470
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 7: the game. So, but they didn't really have that much time.

471
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 7: So we were in a situation where they were gonna

472
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 7: go hook and ladder Desperado type, and so I was

473
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 7: telling Carly's that it was probably gonna be a quick

474
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 7: game type of play and it'll get right into the

475
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: the whole like, you know, fun type of recess exactly.

476
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 7: And so whenever they didn't do it, you know, I

477
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 7: was trying to basically have odds behind my head, you know,

478
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 7: trying to see where he was trying to throw the ball.

479
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 5: At that point, I didn't really have a guy.

480
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 7: But I was trying to match guys in his own

481
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 7: type presence or or mannerism. And he really just threw

482
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 7: the ball up and I was wanting to get close

483
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 7: enough to either batle down or catch it.

484
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 5: And the odds was my favorite. And you got it.

485
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you made sure the game was over at that point.

486
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: All right, this defense, you guys, you guys in the

487
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: back end, you have six interceptions combined in the last

488
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: two games.

489
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: Why are you guys hunting the ball so effectively?

490
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: Right now? Man? It's fanatical.

491
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: Man.

492
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 7: You know, here late in the season, you really get

493
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 7: a lot of reps as far as you know, tracking

494
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 7: the ball and being aggressive or passive on on cover.

495
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 7: So honestly, it starts right out here in the practice field.

496
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 7: We do a lot of you know, drills as far

497
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 7: as takeaways and individual period. Coach Roun Maoleis is doing

498
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 7: a great job him and his staff. He's doing a

499
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 7: great job with us and making sure the ball is

500
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 7: on our minds. So thankfully, you know, it's working out

501
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 7: in our favor to really come down with the football. Honestly,

502
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 7: we're just trying to you know, put a complete game

503
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 7: together with the office, trying to get a rich in

504
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 7: the office, as many drops as possible. So we're just

505
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 7: doing our best to play team ball and however way

506
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 7: it goes. You know, if the ball is in the air,

507
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 7: we're expecting each other to make it play.

508
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: You know, Like I said, you're the longest tenured defensive

509
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: player for the Colts, but you've been playing here for

510
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: a while now with guys that are mainstays too, like

511
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: the Forrest Buckner and Grover Stewart. I know you're really

512
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: close with Grove in terms of where you guys come

513
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 2: from in Georgia and Zaire Franklin and E. J. Speed,

514
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: You're really close in the back end with Julian Blackman.

515
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: How much do you still look forward to playing with

516
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: these guys and how does that, hopefully, you know, manifest

517
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: itself into some two good performances to close out the

518
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: season here for the Colts.

519
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 5: That's a really good question.

520
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 7: I think the relationships is deeper than you know, just

521
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 7: football and you know, running up and down the field

522
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 7: trying to get a win.

523
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 5: Right.

524
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 7: But with that been said, with those relationships, we want

525
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 7: to win as as much as possible with each other.

526
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 7: I think, you know, at the end of our careers,

527
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 7: wherever that that lead us, you know, we're gonna be

528
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: talking about the wins and the players that we made

529
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 7: with each other, and we want to talk about some

530
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 7: some hardware too. So no doubt, we know that it's

531
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 7: a lot of unfinished business that goes into.

532
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 5: The year to year basis. You know what we've gone through.

533
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 7: So we're just trying to put together some some some

534
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: good some good matches, man, We're just trying to get

535
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 7: some good matches and hopefully, you know, everything plays out

536
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 7: in our favor to where we can get into these playoffs. So,

537
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 7: like you said, I the relationships is great, the camaraderie

538
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 7: is great, and I think that's what we're all remember, you.

539
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: Know, you just mentioned the playoffs there. Do you talk

540
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: about playoff scenarios? I mean you personally, do you engage

541
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: and the hypotheticals and the rdoric there or is that

542
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: something that you just sort of block out, knowing that

543
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: it really doesn't matter if you don't take care of

544
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 2: your own business and you got to control what you

545
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: can control.

546
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, I mean we talk about it because

547
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 7: you know, at the beginning of the season, we talk about,

548
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 7: you know, our goals, We talk about the bigger pictures.

549
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 7: So I think it's only right to focus on a

550
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 7: day to day, you know, keeping everything minimum and you know,

551
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 7: going one percent each day and trying to get better.

552
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 7: But I think it's really good to look at the

553
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 7: bigger picture on how to keep moving forward as well.

554
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 7: So I think it's just just a balance of you know,

555
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 7: controlling what you can control as well as knowing where you.

556
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: Want to go.

557
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 7: And I think that that really brings you back to

558
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 7: the standard, bring you back to what you expect from

559
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 7: each other. So I don't you know, if you don't

560
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 7: have anywhere that you know, if a goal that you

561
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 7: set out for yourself. You don't really know the navigation

562
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 7: to get there. So I think it's always good to

563
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 7: know where you are in life in general and to

564
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 7: know where you want to go and how.

565
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: To how to do that.

566
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, well said right there. That's Kenny Moore the second

567
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: with us A.

568
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: Right, the Giants are the task at hand here, they're

569
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: two and thirteen.

570
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: You also know the drill.

571
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: They've lost ten straight games and you know, making a

572
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: lot of different switches at the quarterback position. But they're

573
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: still an NFL team right as you know, you still

574
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: take them seriously. So what is it about their offense

575
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: that can still give you problems despite their inconsistencies overall

576
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: on the team in the season.

577
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 7: For them, they have the weapons on offense and they

578
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 7: have a defense that can give the offense as many

579
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 7: you know, chances as possible to go down and score.

580
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 5: They've been battling some issues or injuries or whatever.

581
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 7: It is just like everybody, sure, but they know how

582
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: to utilize certain people like you know, neighbors obviously there

583
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 7: the gadget they're toy that they like the you know,

584
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 7: throw the ball up to give him as many targets

585
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 7: as possible because he's competitive, and he's he's very talented

586
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 7: in what he can do in the passing game. Wendelle Roberson.

587
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 7: He comes to a lot of them third down as well

588
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 7: as in the resons. So they like to put a

589
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 7: lot of guys in space to mising tackles and get

590
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 7: their offense, you know, more chances to go down there

591
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 7: and score. So and we've struggled a big as well,

592
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 7: so it'll be a great matchup, man. Like I tell everybody, man,

593
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 7: even if the Tennessee came back and tried to win

594
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 7: the game last week, I said, I mean, that's an

595
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 7: NFL offense. We're still trying to We're still trying to

596
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 7: protect and hold off some elite players. So for the

597
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 7: most part, we could just got to be competitive and

598
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 7: stay with each other and be resilient this.

599
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 5: Game, all right.

600
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore of the second has been with the Colts

601
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: since twenty seventeen.

602
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, all right.

603
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,359

00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 7: the person that I am here today, and you know,

628
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 7: I can't get that award of you know, my church members,

629
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 7: or my teachers and my coaches growing up throughout grade

630
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 7: school and college and everything. If they didn't teach me

631
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 7: those actors morals and you know, how to give. When

632
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 7: me growing up, I didn't think I had anything to give.

633
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 7: But there's always something to give to give, and I

634
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 7: think that's that's been my role and I've always believed

635
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 7: that it's everybody's role to give. I don't have to

636
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 7: be able to you know, be on a pedestal or

637
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 7: be a certain uh job title to to give. And UH,

638
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 7: once I learned that at a very young age, I

639
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 7: you know, just took the responsibility to uh live by it.

640
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 7: And if I was a professional athlete or not, I

641
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 7: would have been outgiven so and it it it just

642
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 7: means the world to me. I honestly, it's indescribable to

643
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 7: even have the honor multiple times, right, but this com

644
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 7: this organization does a great job at honoring uh those

645
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 7: around 'em, and they are advocates of community. I've done

646
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 7: a lot before the two thousand and one. Whenever they

647
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 7: honor me in tw two thousand twenty one, right that

648
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 7: I was doing a lot often feel that I didn't

649
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 7: think anybody knew about.

650
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 5: And once they did, it was it.

651
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 7: Was like, ah, likes, that's super crazy that they even

Speaker 2: professional football player, you have the maturity and you have

660
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: the ability to kind of step out outside of yourself

661
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: a little bit to understand that, Like, hey, because of

662

703
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 7: and honestly just kicking back and slowing down the temple.

704
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 7: You know, life can be a little fast in the season.

00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: out of his very busy schedule as he said, you know,

719
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: balancing the holidays and preparation and the grind getting ready

720
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: for a huge game for the Colts in Week seventeen,

721
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 2: trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. And one thing

722
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: I do want to piggyback off of that conversation, Fellas

723
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: and Bill, you can attest to this because you played

724
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: in the National Football League and played for the Colts

725
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: at a high level Ring of honor members, certainly, But

726
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: what he said right there is he I think he

727
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: does a really good job of understanding the platform that

728
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: he has and that if he's in his mind having

729
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: a not so good day, he still understands that through

730
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: all the charitable things that he does, all the community

731
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: work that he does, just by setting foot in some

732
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: rooms and talking to kids or talking to parents or

733
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: people that are going through hard times, Kenny Moore is

734
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: changing days, changing lives. And a lot of Colts players

735
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: in this roster do it, no question, but I think

736
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: Kenny understands that he has to put everything aside to

737
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: make sure that he can make a difference, and people

738
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 2: gravitate towards him, and it's really such a blessing to

739
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: see him interact with fans and again people of all ages,

740
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: and he leaves a great impression on everybody that that

741
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: he comes in contact with.

742
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 3: He just again, he just gets it.

743
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: It's it's great to see him understand the platform that

744
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: he has and he uses it for the greater good exactly.

745
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 4: And you know, it's great to play this game and

746
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: play and you enjoy it. This a game you play

747
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: it as a kid and it's fun and everything, and

748
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: you get recognized for playing and stuff like that. But

749
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: to me, the most important thing is what you do

750
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: in the community, what you do for the for the

751
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: next person. Are you helping someone else out, You're helping

752
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 4: some young kids out. Are you helping someone who has

753
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 4: unfortunately fell on hard times, you know, to hopefully maybe

754
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 4: bring them up, to help them up. So to me,

755
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 4: those are the joys that you have when you can,

756
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: when you're able to do those things to help people out.

757
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 4: So Kenny understands that he goes out, he gives back

758
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 4: quite a bit out there in the community, and I'm

759
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: I'm so happy for him, and it's good to see

760
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 4: the players and there's a lot of players, not just Kenny,

761
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of players on this team that

762
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 4: go out and give back in the community. And to me,

763
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 4: that's a big part of being a professional athlete in America.

764
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: Even play basketball, football, baseball, whatever you play, it's making

765
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 4: sure that you can give back and help someone else out,

766
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 4: give someone else a hand up, no matter what situation

767
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: they're in.

768
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: And I don't mean to put you on the spot,

769
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: but just to drive home the point, I mean, can

770
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: you remember a time where someone came up to you

771
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: and said, Hey, Bill, I met you whatever it was

772
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: five six years ago, and you may not even remember

773
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: the conversation, but they certainly do because of who you are.

774
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's happened a couple of times where someone's come

775
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 4: up to me and I don't know them, and they say, Bill,

776
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 4: you know you came to my fifth grade class and

777
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: these are you know, they're shorder adults now, and you

778
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 4: come to my fifth grade class and you spoke to

779
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: us on this. So you came to my high school

780
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 4: and you spoke to us on whatever I spoke on

781
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: that that day, and you know you helped me to

782
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: realize abu C.

783
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

784
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 3: So, and then you.

785
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 4: Don't at the time. Sometimes you don't think about it

786
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 4: when you're giving that speech I talk to someone, But

787
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 4: then later on when they say that, you say, Wow,

788
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 4: I'm glad I could have helped someone, sure in some

789
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: small way in their lives.

790
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Good stuff, right, there man, Kennymore,

791
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: thanks for the.

792
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: Time, man.

793
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: That was a really, really good conversation we enjoyed as always.

794
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's wrap up the show here, let's put

795
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 2: the let's let's get the game plan on the Giants

796
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: here again, it's not going well in the beg Apple.

797
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 3: They've lost ten straight games.

798
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: They were just thrashed by the Falcons thirty four to seven,

799
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: two and thirteen now on the season, tied for the

800
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: club record for the most losses in a single season.

801
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: They're on track to get the first overall pick. It'll

802
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: be the third time in franchise history that they get that.

803
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: Potentially if that comes to fruition. If the Giants lose out,

804
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: which is possible, that'll mean they have a winless home record.

805
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 2: It'll be the first time in fifty years they lose

806
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 2: all of their home games, and because of the new

807
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: seventeen game schedule, now they'll be the first NFL team

808
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: in NFL history to lose nine home games in a season. Casey,

809
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: tell me, why, tell me how actually the Giants can

810
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: still post problems for the Colts. Is it quarterback? Is

811
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 2: it wide receiver? Is that their defense? Where can they

812
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: still give the Colts fits if they're.

813
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 5: Not on it.

814
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 6: So Malik Neighbors, their rookie receiver, is sensational. He is

815
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 6: everything they thought he was going to be. He looks

816
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 6: like a superstar in the making. He's about to have

817
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 6: over one hundred catches over one thousand yards as a rookie.

818
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 6: You know, to put that in context, there's only four

819
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 6: players that have ever done that, So that is pretty

820
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 6: incredible company. Brock Bauers has already done that with the Raiders,

821
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 6: but Malik Neighbors looking to be the fifth into that group,

822
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 6: and he's done it with just you talk about the

823
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 6: quarterback play, it has been literally a revolving.

824
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones literally is not that not even there crazy

825
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: he is.

826
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 6: He is a practice squad quarterback for the Vikings. So

827
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 6: so what Malik Neighbors has done, he is a guy

828
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 6: you have to have an eye on. And then defensively,

829
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 6: I really do think their front. They don't have Dexter Lawrence,

830
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 6: who is one of the best defensive tackles in football,

831
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 6: but Cavon Thibodeau and Brian Burns on the edge, they

832
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 6: are legit ed rushers. I mean, their defensive front is very,

833
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 6: very and when they have Dexter Lawrence. You could argue

834
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 6: that is probably one of the best front you're going

835
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 6: to see in football. So those are three players that

836
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 6: can definitely get their handprints on a game, and they're

837
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 6: in impact positions where they can create a real I mean,

838
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 6: we all saw what Miles Garrett was able to do

839
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 6: to the Colts in twenty three single handily that that

840
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 6: that Browns team arguably probably shouldn't have been in that game.

841
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 6: But the way that Miles Garrett played forgot right, I mean,

842
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 6: and that's what it was.

843
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: We were like, wow, I mean field goal, I mean

844
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: it was.

845
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: It was unreal.

846
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 6: So so there are they have some some players in

847
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 6: key positions that can create a lot of problems. So

848
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 6: the cults are gonna have to identify ways to make

849
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 6: sure those guys don't impact the game.

850
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: Bill can can the Colts just pound them early? Can

851
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: the Colts put the Giants out of their misery early

852
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: in this game? Run the football like we've already chronicled,

853
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 2: But you look at this. They've been outscored in the

854
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: first quarter of games by fifty three, and they've been

855
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 2: outscored in the first half of games by ninety five.

856
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they don't want to play, but if

857
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: you get a dog down early, they'll probably just kind

858
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: of stay there hopefully, right. And the Colts have had

859
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: a hard time closing games.

860
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 4: Out exactly, and I was gonna say the same thing, Matt.

861
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 4: Jump on them early, get on them early, put some

862
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: doubt in their heads, like, oh, here we go again,

863
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 4: this is gonna be a long day, we're gonna lose whatever,

864
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 4: and just keep on pounding them, Just keep on pounding them,

865
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 4: pound them. And if you do that in New York

866
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 4: with those fans, yeah, they're gonna turn on that team

867
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 4: and they will stop bowing. Yeah they already have, but

868
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 4: they will. I mean during that game, they're gonna stop

869
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: boring them. So for the Colts, they just need to

870
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: stay on them. Jump on them early, jump on the

871
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: first drive, score a touchdown, take the ball away on

872
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 4: the first defensive the time they're out there in the

873
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 4: football field, do those things. Jump on them early and

874
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: make them play from behind, and then just keep on

875
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: top of them, stay on top of them, just pound

876
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 4: them and pound them. Two by the fourth quarter, middle

877
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 4: of the fourth quarter, lay in the fourth quarter.

878
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: No Moss, Yeah, no Moss baby like Casey on Christmas Day,

879
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: you can't put anything else together.

880
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: That's beautiful site right there.

881
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,080
