What could that look like? 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: And now we're actually going to get an answer right 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: on Sunday, And it's just one of seventeen, but it 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: is an answer. I cannot wait for the Monday morning 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: film watching that we do in yes, the debrief that 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: we just I go over to Bill Brooks and I'm like, Bill, 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: can you explain this to me? And Bill explains it 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: to me and then I'm smarter because of it. Right's great? 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: Naturally it happens every time you talked about Brooks correct. Yes, 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: out very exciting. So to start things off today this Friday, 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: got to go through injury updates, which we have very 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: few of which is good and a little bit not uncharacteristic, 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: but not what necessarily what you would expect of having 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: one guy who's been on the practice report, right, and 25 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: Tyler Goodson who's been limited this week. 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: Granted, the Colts had a couple of guys going ir 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: during training camp, justin Wally Blake Freeland. But I mean, 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: you look Waller, Hunter, Waller, you look over at the 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: Dolphins practice apport exactly, It's like, whoa that is? I mean, 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: it's lengthy, you got you know, James Daniels is questionable, 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 2: Darren Waller doesn't look like he's gonna play. They're gonna 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 2: have some real dudes who are may or may or 33 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: may not be out there on Sunday, And the cults 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: are sitting here being like, well, we'll see if our 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: backup running back place, right, So that's a good place 36 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: to be. 37 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, just fewer questions as a whole going into the season, 38 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: which I think is the best thing that you can 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: ask for for this team to have as many guys 40 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: and as much confidence as you can going into Week 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: one against the Dolphins, Like you. 42 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: Said, and the you know, beyond the guys on the 43 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: injury report, just like a couple of things that I'm 44 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: looking for in terms of usage. Number one is how 45 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: much does Xavion Howard play? 46 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: Yes, And I think the defense is going to be 47 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's been talking about quarterbacks, but I'm this 48 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: cold defense is going to be the thing to look at, right. 49 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: That's why I wrote about it in my game Prefficults 50 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: dot Com. I'm just like, I'm just focusing on the defense. 51 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: The offense has been like so theoretical, and just like, 52 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: what are we going to get out of this? It 53 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,559 Speaker 2: could look like this, it could look like that. Defensively, 54 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: I was so excited to dig into the matchup of 55 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: lou An Arumo going against this Miami offense. But as 56 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: part of that, it is, you know, okay, how are 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: you going to get a full game out of Xavion Howard? 58 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: He hasn't played since twenty twenty three. Are you going 59 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: to see Jalen Jones tag in at corner at any point? 60 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: Are you going to see Makai Blackman get a series 61 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: right out there at corner? And that is a that's 62 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: an important thing because I you know, Xavion has said like, well, 63 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: you know, it's however many snaps they tell me I'm 64 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: gonna play. 65 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play, right, But do at the same time, do. 66 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: You need to ramp him up because he also didn't 67 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: have an off season and he got signed in the 68 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: middle of training camp. 69 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: Yep. 70 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: So from a conditioning standpoint, I know he's been putting 71 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: in the work, but it you know, it's different when 72 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: you're having to play sixty seventy snaps, especially against that 73 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: Miami offense. 74 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: Right, and he knows that Miami offense because he's played 75 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: with them alongside and now he's on the other side 76 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: of the ball. So you talked to him a little 77 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: bit in the locker room this week. What did he 78 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: tell you kind of about that situation of who they're 79 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: going to be facing. 80 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was just he was all over 81 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: you know, like this offense is so good when two 82 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: was in there. Yeah that I mean, you look at 83 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: some of the numbers last year and I wrote about 84 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: it on Colts dot Com, but like they are significant. 85 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: Without two of Miami had the worst offense in the 86 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: NFL is them of the Browns, And with TWA they're 87 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: a top ten offense and a lot of metrics and 88 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: you just you turn on the tape and you're like, well, 89 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: you can see why because two is completing passes with 90 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: accuracy in space to hill and waddle. You know, they're 91 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: able to get the ball to eight chan in space 92 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: a lot better when two is in there, and they 93 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: they're just they're like a well oiled machine almost on offense. 94 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: The problem has been two hasn't played a full season, right, 95 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: but for this week one, like this isn't I don't 96 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: care about the existential crisis the Mammi Dolphins might face 97 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: the season if two it gets hurt again, and then 98 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: to go to Zach Wilson, it's I care about Week one. Yeah, 99 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: and the two is going to play and he's going 100 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: to play every snap in this game. That's how you're 101 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: approaching it. So with that being said, this is a 102 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: Dolphins team. The thing I didn't write about Amanda on 103 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: Colts dot Com is. 104 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: That my exclusive. 105 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: Well, it's just the thing that didn't make it in 106 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: the article. It's Miami. Last year. I was shocked by this. 107 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: They had the lowest pressure rate allowed in the NFL 108 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: when Tua was playing quarterback interest and I was just 109 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: kind of like, I kind of just assumed that Miami's 110 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: offense with an offensive line that's been shaky over the 111 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: last few years would allow a higher pressure rate, right, 112 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: But it's because they just think get the ball out 113 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: so fast, you can't pressure them. So can luan Arumo 114 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: make to a tongue of iiloa take a beat? And 115 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: I don't really trust that and that's when the pressure 116 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: gets there. That's something I'm going to be looking for 117 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: in addition to just can you rally and tackle hill 118 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: and waddle an a chance? Right, because that's something Cam 119 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: Biden talked about where he's like, if you're one on 120 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: one against those guys, that's exactly where they want you 121 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 2: to be. 122 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, So that makes it hard. 123 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: Right, So can you rally and tackle, especially in the 124 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: back end guys hustling on over? It's gonna be a 125 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: game like the Dolphins are going to try to turn 126 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: this into a track meet, which is what they've successfully 127 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: done for the last three years under Mike McDaniel, And 128 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: can the Colts keep up with that? And then again 129 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: that ties back into can Exaving Howard play the entire game? 130 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: See, Yeah, there's I feel like, no matter what side 131 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: of the ball you look at right now for the 132 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Colts and grinded. We have talked about this for months 133 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: and months and months. There's so many players that you 134 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: could just watch specifically like Laatu Latu. People are really 135 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: excited about Joe Bachie playing this year. And then on 136 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: the offense, obviously Tyler Warren like go through all of 137 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: the wide receivers like everybody. 138 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: Because I'm a sicko, I also would be like, I'm 139 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: gonna totally just be locked in on Bordolini and Gonzalveez 140 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: interior class. But you should be right, like Zach Steeler 141 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: is a really good player on the interior for Miami. 142 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 2: He's probably their best defensive line. But they got some 143 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: good edge rushers, right, give me Zack Stealer and right 144 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: off the jump, those two guys are going to have 145 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: to block him, right, That's a challenge that they're gonna 146 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: need to be up for. 147 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and obviously Daniel Jones making his first start as. 148 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: The Colts QB one, and yeah, just like the new quarterback. 149 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Right at the very end of this, you know, sure 150 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: after we talked about the offensive line, special teams, No, 151 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, you had an interview with him on The 152 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: Colts Show earlier came out yesterday, so yesterday. I can't 153 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: keep track of days anymore either. 154 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: This week is so weird with like it being the 155 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: first game week, but also Monday being Labor Day and 156 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 2: everything's thrown off. So yeah, I don't know what they 157 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: it is. 158 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones plays on Sunday and in Shane Steiken's offense. 159 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: You talk to him about this, and everybody's talked about 160 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: just Shane as a as a play caller, that there's 161 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: a lot of excitement for what Daniel could be able 162 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: to do as well this weekend. 163 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's starting with taking those completions and 164 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: especially against Miami, like you gotta be good underneath. This 165 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: could be a heavy Josh Downs and Tyler Warren type 166 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 2: of a game, but it's staying ahead of the chains 167 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: and not getting yourself in a situation where Anthony Weaver can, 168 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: you know, go throw you a ninety eight mile an 169 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: hour fastball with some of the blitz packages he's able 170 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: to draw up, So you know, stay ahead of things, 171 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: get Jonathan Taylor going, and then make the Dolphins respect 172 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: Dangle Jones yep, deep ball, Yeah, that's it. 173 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Well, because he's proven he can throw the ball. 174 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: He has but if you look at his career, he's 175 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: sixty first out of sixty five qualified quarterbacks since twenty 176 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: nineteen in average depth of target. 177 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: So if I had to guess, I love that you 178 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: just pull all those numbers. 179 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: It's just it's it's these things are sometimes just seared 180 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: into my right. But if I had to guess, Anthony 181 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: Weaver is probably going to say, we are not going 182 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: to let Jonathan Taylor beat us, and we are going 183 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: to make Dangl Jones make us back off. So to start, 184 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: I think you're probably gonna see some heavier box counts 185 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: and the you know, Shane Steicher will try to manipulate that, 186 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: and it's gonna be up to Daniel Jones to maybe 187 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: relieve some of that pressure on the Colts offense and 188 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: just expand things a little bit so you can then 189 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: maybe open up some creases for Jonathan Taylor. You maybe 190 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: can more efficiently get the ball to Tyler Warren and 191 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: Josh Downs on some of those underneath throws that are 192 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: probably going to need to be a staple what you're 193 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: doing anyway. But it really is like, and it's not 194 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: even like I'm not expecting Daniel Jones to throwbout five 195 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: times Dalk Pierce downfield. It's like, if you hit one 196 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: in the first half, that could have a huge impact 197 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 2: for the rest of the game. Yep. 198 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: I mean we've seen what one throw of Alec Pierce 199 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: can do no matter what against anybody, right. 200 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: And I mean that the Anthony Richardson's very good at that. Yes, 201 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 2: that's kind of what the Colts built their offense out 202 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: of last year, and this year it's gonna be different. 203 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 2: It's gonna be shorter throws, it's gonna be an emphasis 204 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: on those completions, staying ahead of the chains. But you can't, 205 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: like I've talked about this a couple of times, like 206 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: you can't use that as an excuse to play scared, Right, 207 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: That can't turn into playing timid. You still have to 208 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: be aggressive. The thing that we know about Shane Steichen 209 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: is he is an aggressive play caller. He's going to 210 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: call shots and he's going to have Daniel Jones throw 211 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: it deep at some point and if you can complete 212 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: that pass, that could change the calculus for the rest 213 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: of the game. 214 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: Yep. Well, one last thing for a Sunday's Game, very 215 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: special game, not just because it's the season opener, Jim 216 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: Mersey will be inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor. 217 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: Lots of former players, cult staff members there to honor 218 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 1: Jim Marsay. Not one last time because obviously it's a 219 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: right continual thing for the season, but in a very 220 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: big and permanent way at Lucas Oiles Stadium. 221 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: It's going to be a really special day. I mean, 222 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: the ceremony is you know, the Cults have always put 223 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: on a really good Ring of Honor ceremony. This one's 224 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: going to be special. This one's going to be really special. Like, 225 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: if you're going to the game, please do stay in 226 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: your seats at halftime, because this is going to be 227 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: a really special moment for not just like the Colts frame, 228 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: but for like our city. Right, I mean, Jim Irsay 229 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: left an indelible mark on this city. He's the impact 230 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: He had in ways big that everyone knew about and 231 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: in small that only he knew about. Are It's so 232 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: significant and trying to like put the entire scope of 233 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: it into words is kind of difficult. 234 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: I don't think you can really. He he's larger than 235 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: any words, any life, but you can't. You can't encapsulate that. 236 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I know this is a deeply 237 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: meaningful game to a lot of players, current players who 238 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: knew him. It's deeply meaningful to Shane Steichen, who you know, 239 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: has said several times that he is just so forever 240 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: grateful that Jim Irsay gave him his shot to be 241 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: a head coach in the NFL. And you know, if 242 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: you listen to Shane talk like the mantra for the 243 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: Colts this year is win for Jim, and you know 244 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: that's that's an important thing. It's something that this team 245 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: really has. And it's kind of this like zooming out 246 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: a little bit. I keep seeing, you know, and hearing 247 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: on these you know, more national oriented shows whenever they 248 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: talk about the Colts, it's like they got bad vibes. 249 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: I got really bad, right, Yeah. I don't think there 250 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: are bad vibes within this building. 251 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: Because you can feel it when it's in there. 252 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: You can absolutely feel it when it's in the building. 253 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: I don't sense that right now. And I even feel 254 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: like the vibes are like they're they're good, but they're 255 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: different good, yes, because there is this kind of the 256 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: veterans on this team who have been around for a while, 257 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: who got to know mister ersay are like, we have 258 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: to like he he would have given it his all 259 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: for us this season. We got to give it at 260 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: all for him to honor him. And it's like trying 261 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: to win to honor someone who is so important to 262 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: you is a powerful thing, right, And you know, I 263 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: don't know if that leads to better execution on third 264 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: and seven, like in a hyper specific way, but like 265 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: just that little extra bit of motivation that guy just 266 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: kind of have in the back of their head as 267 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: they they go through this season and have they've gone 268 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: through training camp. Kay, I don't know. I think there's 269 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: something to that. Yeah, again, you can't quantify it. I 270 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 2: can't tell you specifically how that's going to impact the 271 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: team other than like. 272 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: It will I think it will. 273 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: Way. 274 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. You hear everybody talk about him, and sometimes you 275 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: can't tell when you're just reading it and you're reading 276 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: the words how much meaning there is behind it When 277 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: people are saying that they really want to win for 278 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: Jim and that they want to put on a good show. 279 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: But anything that anybody says about him has the utmost 280 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: amount of meaning and feeling behind it, right. 281 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: And I mean, you know, I was lucky enough to 282 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: speak to him a couple of times, to you know, 283 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: be in his presence a couple of times, and just 284 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: what a what a what a person? What a person? 285 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: Just an incredible an absolutely incredible person who you know 286 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: we will will always miss his presence in this city. 287 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, looking forward to Sunday for that reason and 288 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: many other reasons, but we're gonna end it there.
