Maybe some news comes out 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: of that, we'll see, But I want to look ahead 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: to what we we're gonna what we're what we want 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: to hear from Chris Ballard and Frank right, because we 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to hear from them since right 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: after the season. So, mate, I want to start with 47 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: you when when Ballard and Wright get up to their 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: podiums and we're back at the combine, like, thank god, 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: back at the combine, that's gonna be great. What's what's 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: the first thing you are looking to hear from both 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: of them and the Larra I want to get your 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on this as well. Well, it's it's been NonStop 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: talk about you know, what they said after the season 54 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: and then also what they didn't say right Neither guy 55 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: was pretty committal about Carson Wentz and now we're getting 56 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: you know, national reports from ESPN on the future of 57 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: wins in Indianapolis and the rumors that are going along 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: with that. At UM I don't expect to hear anything 59 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: definitive from either guy as far as that goes, which 60 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: will probably you know, fuel speculation even further. But of course, 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: interest is is going to be there on what they 62 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: have to say regarding that, and then I just want 63 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: to hear about the draft. I want to hear about 64 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: the draft in the you know, in the eyes of 65 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard in his own words. You know, how deep 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: is left tackle in this draft class? You know, I 67 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that question. You know, we 68 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: haven't really dove into the draft, you know, very deep 69 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: just yet. You know, can you get a long term 70 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: answer outside of the first round at left tackle? You know, 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the answer to that question last year was no. Um. 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: What about wide receiver? You know, the last couple of 73 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: drafts have been littered with wide receiver talent. You know, 74 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: in the past you can find immediate impact from rookies, 75 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: from guys that come out of the third and fourth 76 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: round on Day three of the draft. You know, what's 77 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: the future of Jack Doyle and t Y Hilton? Is 78 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: there any news there on those guys regarding their retirement ponderings, 79 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: if you will, from the end of the season, and 80 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: we'll get an idea of how the coaching staff changes 81 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: are coming along as well. Is there anything to report 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: on Gus Bradley's staff definitively and get Frank Reich's thoughts 83 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: on you know, some of the coaches on the offensive 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: side of the ball leaving for promotions, you know, with 85 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: other teams, but also guys that have left the colts 86 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: for lateral moves around the NFL as well. So you know, 87 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: it's it's good to get a gauge of who's meeting 88 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: with which teams and you know for how long what 89 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: they're talking about, because there's always leaks like that, and 90 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: then obviously the on field of performance stuff. But for me, 91 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: it's it's what is said and what is not said 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: by Frank Reich and Chris Ballard on next Tuesday or 93 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: Wednesday of the draft or the of the combine mattee. 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: You mentioned those coaching staff changes, and there has been 95 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: a bit of, you know, just some conversations surrounding why 96 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: this staff hasn't been announced or assembled yet, because we 97 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: have seen a lot of the other coaching staffs across 98 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: the NFL already announced. So of course you have Gus 99 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: Bradley assembling his defense staff. But then you mentioned a 100 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: couple of those other position the Cults wide receiver group 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: with might grow departing for new York. That's a position 102 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: that people are really interested in seeing who inherits that 103 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: group as well. And one thing I saw, I don't 104 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: know if you guys saw this over the weekend from 105 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: Robert Mathis, he had a tweet that said he's really 106 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: intrigued by who the defensive line coach is going to 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: be because he says there is a wealth of talent 108 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: in that position group room, so he's really excited to 109 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 1: see who they bring in for that group moving forward. 110 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: So I do think that, of course you're going to 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: get all those questions with all the different position groups, 112 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: and we've heard a lot of you know, conversation and 113 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: skepticism and banter over what the future whether that is 114 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, long term, short term with Carson Wentz at 115 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: quarterback is. So I think you will certainly get plenty 116 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: of those regards to players, but I do expect a 117 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: lot of conversation in regards to can you announce if 118 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything by the end of this week, 119 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: how Gus Bradley's coaching staff is shaping up who he 120 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: might bring over who he previously worked with on that 121 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: very productive Las Vegas Raiders defensive staff. Maybe guys who 122 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: he's plucking from other jobs across the NFL yet to 123 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: be announced. So excited for all of that because this 124 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: is a big turnover year for the coaching staff, and 125 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: as we're working on with the next pick in our 126 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: draft series, our scouts were really telling us like, this 127 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: is the big year, this is where we have to 128 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: hit on picks. You feel that pressure, certainly, I mean, 129 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: that's that's your job, what you're doing as a scout, 130 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: but I do think that they are feeling like that 131 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: you have such a strong foundation within this team right now, 132 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: and now you want to build upon that with strong talent, 133 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: the young talent, but not just that developing talent, like 134 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: Matey said, those type of players who can make an 135 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: immediate impact even without a first round pick. We've seen 136 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: in previous drafts this franchise hit well in those you know, third, fourth, fifth, 137 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: sixth rounds. I mean, twenty was a pretty good year 138 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: without a first round pick, right with the Taylor Michael 139 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Pittman Jr. With these press conferences though this so this 140 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: is going to be my first one at the combine, 141 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: you know, but before free agency, before the draft, and 142 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: my previous experience with them covering the Bears is that 143 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: it's an exercise in saying a lot without saying anything 144 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: because you don't want to. You don't want to provide 145 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: leverage or give away your plans because it's you know, 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: this is going to take place on March first. Free 147 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: agency doesn't start for another fourteen fifteen days after this, 148 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: so you don't want to give away all right. You know, 149 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: we might be thinking about this guy, we might be 150 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: thinking about this movie. We might be thinking about trading 151 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: this player, we might be we're really zeroed in on 152 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: this position in the draft. You don't want to do 153 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: any of that right now. So I think you guys 154 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: talking a lot about the coaching stuff is really really 155 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: important in terms of what we might hear next week 156 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: that might be newsworthy for the next week. They're always 157 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: will be other things that could pop up. But when 158 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: it comes to assembling the coaching staff, I'm like, you know, 159 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: we haven't heard Frank Greik talk about Gus Bradley yet, Hey, 160 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: what attracted you to Gus Bradley. You know we've heard 161 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: from Gus, and Gus has spoken very eloquently about his defense. 162 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: He was on our podcast with Lara and I. But 163 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm interested to hear what Frank Greik has to say 164 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: about Gus Bradley, what Chris Ballard has to say about 165 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: why you know the Colts defensive coordinator opening was a 166 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: premium job around the NFL, with all the talent, and 167 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: why why was Gus Bradley the guy that they chose. 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: I think we can see in some of the interviews 169 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: we've done with him how impressive he is. But I 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: want to hear from them, why why Gus Bradley the 171 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: other thing? Guys? Just to kind of tie it back 172 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: in though, in your experience and Lara, I want to 173 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: start with you on this and your experience with these things, 174 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: with Frank and with Chris, how do they handle them? 175 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: What should fans expect because we sort of got it 176 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 1: last year but not really. How do they handle the 177 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: pre free agency draft at the one press conference? I 178 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: think anyone listening to this podcasts knows that they're both 179 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: as transparent and candid as they can possibly be. I 180 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: don't know that you have a pair of two more 181 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: open gms and head coaches across the NFL. Of course, 182 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: there are things they can't disclose and things that they 183 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: have to be strategic in how they release, but you're 184 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: never going to be misled by Frank Reich or Chris Bellard. 185 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: They're going to be direct as direct as they possibly 186 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: can in all these situations, and they're not ones that 187 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: rush through these type of things. They will do a 188 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: great job of being incredibly thorough answering as many questions 189 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: as they can in the allotted time. I mean, think 190 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: about Chris's end of season press conference that went for 191 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: like seventy minutes, sixty something minutes. What was that? Yeah, 192 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's like he's not going to go to 193 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: that degree obviously, because you're held to that window that 194 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: you have, you're assigned a period of time in which 195 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: you're speaking. But what we know is exactly what you're 196 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: going to see. These guys are incredibly consistent and how 197 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: they handle the media and how they handle these types 198 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: of situations, and also in regards to things like you know, 199 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: t Y or Jack, They're not going to break any 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: news at the combine, So I don't expect any any 201 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: type of announcement in that regard in regarding any announcement 202 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: in regards to either of those guys, but you might 203 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: get some insight on the conversations that Frank may have 204 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: had with them, if you know, Chris has had conversations 205 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: those type of things and maybe gauging a timeline on 206 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: when they might make a decision something along those lines. 207 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: But I always really enjoy the Combine. Yes, it's it's 208 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: fun to get out there and to see our guys, 209 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: but also it's a great opportunity to see people from 210 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: across the NFL. We're so spoiled by the fact that 211 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: we have it in our backyard and you know, fingers 212 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: crossed with to hang on tip for a little bit longer. 213 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of benefits for us in that, 214 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be able to have some really 215 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: exciting guests on the podcast coming up. I have some 216 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: great conversations because of people who will be here, be 217 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: at our home stadium for the Combine for a whole 218 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: week's time. So looking forward to grabbing a lot of 219 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: those people. You know, pivotal personality is across the league, 220 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: to talk about the Colts, to talk about the draft situation, 221 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: and talk about free agency, all of those. You know, 222 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to say hot button topics, but those 223 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: topics of interest that you have in March April, May 224 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: as you start to kind of build up and ramp 225 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: up excitement for the twenty twenty two season. Matt, what 226 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: are you looking forward to from the combine? Are you 227 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: a big drill guy? You a big forty yard dash? 228 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: Better for forty yard dashes my jam obviously? Yeah? Yeah, sorry, 229 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm totally stealing us. Did anyone see that Dk metcalf 230 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: has has proclaimed that he's training for the twenty twenty 231 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: four Olympics, So, I yeah, I actually called DK's race 232 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: last year when he raced outdoors. I was calling that 233 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: meat when he finished like seventh, I think in the 234 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: field for a one hundred. So I you guys know, 235 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: I am like all over this. I like, I love it, 236 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: and I love all of the chatter because Trayvon Bromel, 237 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: who is one of the elite one hundred meter runners 238 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: in the United States in the world, He's like challenging Dk, 239 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: He's challenging Tyreek Hill. I'm like, let's do it. This 240 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: is this is what I love for. Does he have 241 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: a chance? Does DK? Yeah? Does he have a chance? No. 242 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: So this is something that I talked to you guys 243 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: that we're going off on our tangent. I apologize, but 244 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: I talked a lot with Nihim Hinz about this, in 245 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: particular because Nahim is a guy who ran college track. 246 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean, was you know, conference champion in track and 247 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: field also you know, agree running back as well. And 248 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: I asked him about just the difference in what your 249 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: body is like in a track season versus a football season. 250 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: And I mean you, I mean, look at a specimen 251 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: like Dk Metcalf, like he has a completely different structure 252 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: than the majority of sprinters. And sprinters are guys who 253 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: have like you know, they're very powerful athletes, but it's 254 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: a totally different type of speed. For receivers, you're building speed. 255 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, you get off your break, you're running about 256 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: your building speeds typically as you go, whereas in a 257 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: track one dash, you're coming out of the blocks, you're 258 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: at top speed. You're getting to that top speed way 259 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: more quickly than you are on the football field. So 260 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to naihim about just it's a different 261 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: type of sprinting. Now, I will never discount the talent 262 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: of Dk Metcalf. I'm not saying that he can't get there, 263 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: because I know he's serious about this. He actually worked 264 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: with USA Track and Field to find a coach last 265 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: offseason that would help him train specifically for a track 266 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: and field sprint versus you know, running a route and 267 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: that football type of speed. So if he invests the time, 268 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: there's really no ceiling on the talent. But I mean, 269 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: the one hundred is a stacked, stacked event, and the 270 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: thing is, in the United States, there are a lot 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: of guys who are crazy talented in the hurdles who 272 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: could also probably give him a run on the flat 273 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: one hundred as well. I think it would be very 274 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: difficult for him making Olympic team, but I think, I mean, 275 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: that guy's going to be competitive whatever he decides to 276 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: commit himself too. Well, to your point, I just looked 277 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: it up. He ran a ten point three six one 278 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: hundred meter dash, which is incredible, you know what a 279 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: feat of athleticism. Oh, it's hella fast. And that was 280 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: last place he finished in last. To your point, Lara, 281 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you're exactly all right. These guys are just it's the Olympics. 282 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: They are world class athletes. Unbelievable. Absolutely. I just wondered 283 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: too how much he would have to invest in getting 284 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: to that point of saying, let's just say being in 285 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the being in the top five in the country. How 286 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: much sacrifice that would take away from the things that 287 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: make him so good on the football field, Like is 288 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: it worth because he would just have to You'd have 289 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: to change your body, you would have to. It's just 290 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: it's incredibly difficult to make that transition back and forth. 291 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: So I just wonder if what he would have to 292 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: take away from football training or maybe that means he's 293 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: going to retire by that point and he would commit himself. 294 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. Crazier things have happened. This has been 295 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: this is that discussion went better than I could have 296 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: hoped it could have gone. Well, good, learn something. Okay, wait, 297 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: I've got two things for you. Guys. You're not going 298 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: to learn learn anything, but these are just fun topics 299 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: to banter. You mentioned the free agency period, and it's 300 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: like four pm on March sixteenth, Right, March seventeenth is 301 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: Saint Patty's Day.

I feel like if 314 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: I had, if I drink a Guinness, I've eaten a meal. 315 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: That's my problem with Guinness. Guinness is not as high 316 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: calori as you think it is. It's true, but it 317 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: fills me up though. I feel like, you know, I 318 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: don't want to do anything after I've drank a Guinness. 319 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I just want to sit there and take a nap 320 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: basically after that. But the good thing with Saint Patrick's 321 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: Day is it usually coincides with the first weekend of 322 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: the NC Double A tournament or you know those conference 323 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: tournament weekends.

These would be a small disc shaped 367 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: cereal that would have a bit of a pancake maple 368 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: syrup flavor. To them about this, and these would be 369 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: the big cuescakes. They would be little mini pancakes, crisp 370 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: crispy little pancakes, like almost like a cookie crisp, but 371 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: a little pancake, big cuscakes.

I would think he would want it to 376 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: be at a price point that would welcome all. I 377 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: think that it would be you know, it would be 378 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: like a whole grain cereal with a little bit of 379 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: sugary sweetness. Yeah, you know, it doesn't be like the 380 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: whole food seven dollars a box cereal. I think that 381 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: this would be you know, consumable at all of your 382 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: typical grocers and uh, you know, regular stores and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, 383 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: all right, I like it. This is good. This discussion 384 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: started because I was talking to Lara and Matte before 385 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: we got on when we were having our cereal discussion 386 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: that my twins there there too. And when I was 387 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: in Chicago recently, I went to the store to buy 388 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: a bunch of Jardin Ea, which is the best condiment 389 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: in existence, stock it up, and at the store they 390 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: had a sale on Eddie Jackson, the Bear's Safety. He 391 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: has a aal that's basically sinnament toos crunch. They're called Bojacks, 392 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: so I bought a box of it. Also, how does 393 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: how is the Bojacks not the Bojackson cereal? I'm not well, 394 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: it's a long story about his nickname being BoJack. Okay, 395 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: that's too boring for this podcast. It not the right audience. However, 396 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: I brought that box home and now my boys think 397 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: that sinnamon TOAs crunch is called bojacks. So whenever they 398 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: see the box sinnamenttoas crunch and or pantry, they say bojacks. 399 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not going to correct it because 400 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of funny. It's a little homage 401 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: to the team I used to cover in the Chicago Bears. 402 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: I love it. I want to save this. I want 403 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: to save this for next week's podcast because I know 404 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: we have to get into Kenny Moore. But guys be 405 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: thinking about foods that are acceptable to buy the generic brand. 406 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: So if you go to Kroger, it's perfectly acceptable to 407 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: get the off brand or the Kroger brand or the 408 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: Costco brand. But there's also things you would never ever 409 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: think to go generic brand for. What are the differences 410 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: and why any listener who thinks to this topic, please 411 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: tweet it at us. Tweeted at Lara Overton, at JJ 412 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: Stankovitz at Mayte Colts because I had this discussion with 413 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: my wife about a week ago and we talked about 414 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: it for like literally an hour.

So um, I think 495 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: he was just a vessel for the kids to um, 496 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, say that something isn't okay, and just to 497 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: have that awareness that, like you know, you can still 498 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: be motivated by bad times to to you know, amount 499 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: to something great in your life.

It's trying to enjoy those moments 674 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: because you know you can. I guess other athletes can 675 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: or or people in general can relate. And it's just 676 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: you know, if you're doing it by yourself, you'll you'll 677 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: feel lonely at some points and you will feel like, um, 678 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: you're out here by yourself, and it's a terrible feeling 679 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: when you know, you when you have something great happens, 680 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: but you're not here to you know, share it with anybody. 681 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: So but just having the guarves Um in Vegas with me, 682 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: my mom, my sister, and two of my friends, it 683 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: just meant the world and it meant you know, this 684 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: is family, like you know, this is what it's all about. 685 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: You know, if I was out there by myself, I 686 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't have enjoyed the Pro Bowl. I wouldn't have enjoyed 687 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: that great accomplishment that I should be so proud of. 688 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: But I've had a lot. I've had several moments in 689 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: my life where you would think I would be happy, 690 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: you would think I would be joyful to accomplish, but 691 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: at some point I just didn't feel like I had 692 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: fully enjoyed that moment. But it's all about the moment, 693 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: and it's all about being in the moment. So it 694 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: was pretty great and it's something that I'll chase for 695 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: the rest of our life. Not only did you get 696 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: to share that moment with family and friends, you also 697 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: were able to have a handful of your teammates out 698 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: there in the Pro Bowl. And then you had Reggie 699 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,760 Speaker 1: Wayne there as a coach for one of the coaches 700 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: for the AFC team, And it was an indication, a 701 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: great illustration of how much these Pro Bowl recognitions meant. 702 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,479 Speaker 1: When we're over in the indoor facility and Coach Reich 703 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: announces your name, and the way that he said it, 704 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: and the fact that he finished it all off with 705 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: it and you saw everybody rally around you and celebrate, 706 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: that was a great indication of how much it meant 707 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: to have that many Indianapolis colts recognized on the Pro Bowl. 708 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,959 Speaker 1: Raw As you get out there to the Pro Bowl, 709 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: you're around the I mean, the best of the best 710 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: across the NFL, and it's all happening leading up to 711 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Week. When you're out there and you're with 712 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, DeForest and Darius and Ryan and JT and 713 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: all of the guys who were out there, how much 714 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: did that just further motivate you guys being that close 715 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: you're being surrounded and recognized as some of the greatest 716 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: players currently in the league. But then also wanting to 717 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: further that and say, hey, we got to get to 718 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: this point where we're still in contention and we're fighting 719 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: for an NFL championship in the future, no doubt. I mean, 720 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: I honestly didn't even realize that until we ate our 721 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: first breathfast at table. I think it was Wednesday, was 722 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: the first practice Wednesday and Thursday, I believe it was 723 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: the first practice, but we were eating breakfast and it 724 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: was a table full of colts and I'm just like, 725 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: why are we here? And there was another time when 726 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: we were taking pictures, UM, after Saturday's practice. It was 727 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: it was the last practice before we go to the game, 728 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: and uh, we took a group picture and I was 729 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: just like, damn, we have all this talent, but you know, 730 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: to to win a championship, you all have to want 731 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: to win. And UM, it's bigger than just the seven 732 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: Pro bowlers that you have on the on the in 733 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: a in a picture. It's the entire team. And it's 734 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: a team sport. It's not it's not just about the 735 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: the players who are recognized. There's a lot of players 736 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: that aren't recognized. Who gives a lot to uh to 737 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: build a team. So UM and I was one of 738 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: those players whenever I wasn't even recognized. So UM, it's 739 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: more to it than just you know, Pro bowled players 740 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: and having that UM attached to your name. Um, it's 741 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 1: it's about going out there each Sunday, each game day 742 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: to put it all on in for each other. So UM, 743 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: definitely hoping and working for a championship. UM, because because 744 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: that's all that's what it's all about. And if you're 745 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: not then then what are you playing this game for? Us? So, um, 746 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: definitely excited than hungry to get back out there to 747 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: uh have better feelings, Kenny did did being at the 748 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl?

I can't wait to play for 814 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,479 Speaker 1: him then, because like I said, I've only heard great 815 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: things about him, and it'll definitely show because obviously is 816 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,479 Speaker 1: you know, random people are saying, you know, such great 817 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: things about someone that has to be evident in some way. 818 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: So I'm definitely looking forward to it, and we'll see 819 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: about Casey Hayward. Kenny. One more for you, Um, I 820 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 1: gotta know, because you were there, what was the halftime show? 821 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: Like in person? I've gotten that question, but like where 822 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: where we were, it was they the the artists had 823 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 1: their back to us. We weren't on the other side 824 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: of it, but it was still great to be there 825 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,960 Speaker 1: in the presence of you know, greatness. But definitely the 826 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: best halftime showever.
