Speaker 5: It's the old school, like the tiger with it.

77
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Already looks like it's in the dryer.

78
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 6: Yes, Oh, why do we tie this into some football?

79

00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 6: Before that was obviously Joseph Dye.

88
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: That's still fresh in your mind, all that draft, those

89
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: draft articles you put out a couple of.

90
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 6: Spot it took. It took me while Lara was looking

91
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 6: for her T shirt. It took me about thirty seconds

92
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880

113
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,840

Speaker 6: Crowds over in Germany are gonna be great. Last year

117
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 6: that game in Munich, the Seahawks Bucks game. That crowd was.

118
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: Lit insane that game. Yeah, let's go to the depth

119
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: chart updates. We got veterans and rookies intermixing on the

120
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: field for the first time this week. OTAs are gonna

121
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: start next week, but with vets and rookies on the

122
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: field for the first time here this week, let's take

123
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 2: a look at some of the areas of the Colts

124
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: unofficial depth chart in discuss or some of these first

125
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: year players might slot in. Let's go, We're gonna take

126
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: a look at wide receiver, offensive tackle, and then we'll

127
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: transition that into the cornerback two deep. So jj when

128
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: you look at the wide receiver too deep. Right now,

129
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: you got Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Isaiah McKenzie, Mike Strawn's

130
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: coming back, Ashton Dolan, and then there's the rookie Josh Downs.

131
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: Where does Josh Downs fall into the pecking order as

132
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: of right now with this first week going on with

133
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: vets and rookies.

134
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be direct competition with Isaiah McKenzie junior

135
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 6: in there, and you lot kind of how both those

136
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: players are utilized. Last year, Isaiah McKenzie played about seventy

137
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 6: five percent of his snaps in the slot for the

138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills. Josh Downs last year for North Carolina, played

139
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: about eighty one percent of his snaps in the slot.

140
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 6: So those are primarily majority slot guys, and that makes

141
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 6: sense right there. They're undersized traditionally for a receiver, so

142
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 6: because of that, you don't want them playing on the

143
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 6: line of scrimmage where they can get pressed. They use

144
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: their short area quickness to get open where you know

145
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 6: you can't get hands on them in the slot. So

146
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 6: I think those two guys competing is going to be

147
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 6: really healthy because McKenzie's a good players. He's made some

148
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 6: plays in the NFL. He's got run after the catchability,

149
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 6: he's shifty, you can do some different gadgety type things

150
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 6: with him. Josh Down's that short area quickness, the good

151
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 6: hands are all things that Reggie Wayne really liked in

152
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 6: him coming out of North Carolina. So those two guys competing,

153
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 6: I think you'll you'll see them both take the field

154
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 6: this year, But right now you're competing for a snap share.

155
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, in the slot. I would agree with that,

156
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: all right, let's go to offensive tackle. You got Bernard Ryman,

157
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: Braden Smith, Blake Freeland, and Jordan Murray. And again, by

158
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: the way, we're just giving you the what we think

159
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: is the too deep as of right now. This is

160
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: as unofficial as it gets. Before we talk about Blake Freeland, Lara,

161
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: how much more comfortable? I know you weren't here last

162
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: week in terms of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday doing track like

163
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: we said, but I know you saw the Bernard Ryman

164
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: press conference. How much more comfortable do you think Bernard

165
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: Ryman looks and feels at this point in the offseason

166
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: compared to at the end of last year.

167
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 4: Well, I also went out to practice yesterday to try

168
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: to get a few looks at this as well as

169
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: guys were getting you back at and everything off of

170
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: the weekend. And I think you're seeing significant growth in

171
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: terms of confidence and familiarity for Bernard Ryman. I also

172
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: think that he is one who can really thrive with

173
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: the guidance of Tony Sperano Junior. I really like his

174
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: coaching style in particular how it pertains to this group

175
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: and be I mean he is to totally hands on

176
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: and how he coaches and how he is guiding that group.

177
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: And I think that someone like Bernard who still has

178
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: so much football to learn and so much growth and

179
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: so much potential because you know, he came into the

180
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: game much later and really all through his college career

181
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 4: was still learning the offensive line positions and learning how

182
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: to take advantage of his skill set and at left tackle.

183
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 4: So I do think you're going to see immense growth

184
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: when we get out there and you get into the

185
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: like veteran mini camp and you know, all of those phases,

186
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 4: and then leading into training camp as well.

187
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 6: The real quick thing on Bernard Ryman is last year

188
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 6: he didn't get his butt kicked like he had some

189
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: snaps where he admitted, you know, yeah, I lost those

190
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 6: reps and those led to sacks. But if you look

191
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 6: at it, Bernard Ryman allowed the fewest pressures of any

192
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 6: regular rookie starting offensive linemen in the NFL last year

193
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 6: twenty seven. That tells you that on a down to

194
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 6: down basis, he was playing pretty well. But he needs

195
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 6: to clean up the mistakes that were catastrophic that led

196
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 6: to the sacks that lead people to think, man, this

197
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 6: guy stinks. He doesn't stink. He's pretty good. If you

198
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 6: look at him over this course of a full game.

199
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 6: The thing he mentioned too also he put on fifteen pounds,

200
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 6: oh so much. That is that is a big difference

201
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 6: for him because ja do you think he.

202
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: Just looked bigger in terms of the upper body like traps, you,

203
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 2: shoulder area, yep.

204
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: Play strength is a big deal for Bernard Ryman and

205
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: putting on fifteen pounds. When the Colts draft these guys

206
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 6: who maybe need to put on some weight like Blake

207
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 6: Freeland who will get to they do it believing that

208
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 6: they can. Looking at you know, some you know, some

209
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 6: profiles of them leading up to the drafty they look

210
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 6: at these guys and say, if he's gonna put on weight,

211
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 6: it's gonna be good weight. And Bernard Ryman putting on

212
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 6: fifteen pounds that is good weight.

213
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: Well, you look at the resources that you have different

214
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: from college to the NFL, even if you are at

215
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: a larger program, I mean just in term of the

216
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: strength training and the nutrition and all of those things

217
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: where they can you know, they very much identify and

218
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 4: specify and personalize these whole training plans to allow you

219
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 4: to be able to do that. So it's hard when

220
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 4: I mean your rookie year. I was thinking about this

221
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: with these guys going through it right now. You come

222
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: off of your college season, some of them playing bowl

223
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: games and all of that, and you go straight into

224
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: your pre draft process, the combine training, pro day training,

225
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 4: all of that. You get drafted by a team, then

226
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: you show up at the facility about four days later.

227
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: You start going through that process. There is no break

228
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: for these guys to truly get kind of immersed and

229
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: utilizing all of the things that are around them.

230
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: Then you're expected to step in and play, and then.

231
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: You're playing a football season that's like a third longer

232
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: than what you're used to.

233
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you're a guy who's playing left tackle,

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 4: it's a pivotal position in the game too.

235
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: He needed to improve his footwork, he needed to gain weight.

236
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: That's what the calls laid out for him in the

237
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: off season, and you can tell he's definitely been grinding

238
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: and considering how much Bernard cares about being good and

239
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: the fact that he put it all together towards the

240
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: end of last season. Like you said, JJ, there's a

241
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: lot of arrows pointing up for Bernard and Ryman. So

242
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: that was really good to see again Like we said,

243
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: Blake Freeland has played left side, he's played right side

244
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: at byu JJ is Blake Freeland, can you pencil him

245
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: in as the swing tackle for next season the guy

246
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: that's number two to either back up excuse me, Brayden

247
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: Smith or Bernard Ryman on the left side.

248
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think right now you look at

249
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: the roster and you say he's probably in line for that.

250
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 6: You know, Jordan Murray, Carter O'Donnell both on the roster

251
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 6: there you know, going to compete at that spot. But

252
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 6: there are free agents available. Like if the Colts get

253
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 6: through the off season program and you get through veteran

254
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 6: Mini Camp and you say, you know what, he probably

255
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,599
Speaker 6: needs a year to develop, you can go get a

256
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 6: veteran swing tackle. There are still a couple of those

257
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 6: guys who are available. But if you get to the

258
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: end of veteran Mini camp and you say, all right,

259
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 6: like Blake Freeland is is going to be our swing

260
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 6: tackle this year? We feel comfortable that he can go

261
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 6: in for Ryman or for Smith and step in and

262
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 6: get us through a game or two or three or

263
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 6: whatever it may be, then that's great. Then you don't

264
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 6: have to expend any more resources at that position. One

265
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: other thing, just to you know, I'm not I don't

266
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 6: know if this is going to happen. I know where

267
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 6: you're going here, you know where I'm going. I think so,

268
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: I think, so what if your best five?

269
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

270
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 6: What if Blake f Vieland is part of your best

271
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 6: five and he's at right tackle and then you kick

272
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 6: Bernard or you kick Braden Smith inside to.

273
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: Right guard, which is where he played in college.

274
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 6: And he played a game there last year.

275
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, is how much sense would that make considering

276
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: Braiden Smith's going into a six season. Is he's found

277
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: a home.

278
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 6: It's best five, it's best five, and you also have

279
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 6: a new coaching staff in here with fresh eyes on

280
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 6: these guys. And if you go in and you say, look,

281
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 6: our best five is this, Yeah, then you go with it.

282
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 6: So I think Blake Freeland is not only competing to

283
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 6: be your swing tackle, but he could almost be in

284
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 6: direct competition with a guy like Will Fryes of who's

285
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 6: your best five? Figure that out and go from there.

286
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to cornerback too deep here, Kenny

287
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: Moore the second obviously coming back, Isaiah Rodgers heading into

288
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: a contract year, as is Kenny Moore. The second, by

289
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: the way, Juju Brent's rookie Dallas Flowers coming back, and

290
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: then Darius Rush is a rookie fifth round draft pick

291
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: out of South Carolina, and then don't forget about Tony Brown,

292
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: who contributes also on special teams. So let's go with

293
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: the rookies. Layer do Brent's and Rush? Do they have

294
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: a leg up on Rogers and Flowers because they were drafted?

295
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: I don't know if specifically is the right word, but

296
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: they were drafted a year after Gus Bradley has been

297
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: here for a year, and they drafted big, long, athletic

298
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: cornerbacks to specifically play in the Gus Bradley defense. Do

299
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: they have a leg up on Rogers and Flowers because

300
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: of their physical dimensions? If you will.

301
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 4: I think that's part of it, I really do. I

302
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: think that they were drafted with a vis for how

303
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: they fit and the immediate impact that they can make.

304
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 4: And you also saw the fact that the positions in

305
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 4: terms of when Isaiah Rodgers was starting or kind of

306
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: how his playing time shook out, same thing with Dallas Flowers.

307
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: Flowers was obviously incredibly impactful on special teams, as well.

308
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting that it seemed like last year

309
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: Isaiah Rodgers never really solidified that starting spot. So I

310
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: do think that there is a lot to be seen.

311
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: I think that's probably one of the more intriguing position

312
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: battles as you go through the late spring and the summer,

313
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: building into and throughout the preseason, exactly what that group

314
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: looks like.

315
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: Now.

316
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: Worth noting, we haven't seen Brent's yet because he had

317
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: that surgery coming out of his college season, so we

318
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: actually haven't gotten eyes on exactly the work that he's

319
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: been doing with his group. But guys, I will tell

320
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: you when I was watching yesterday and I spent a

321
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: lot of time watching this secondary juju, Bryns wasn't just

322
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 4: standing out there observing from the sidelines.

323
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: What he would do is he was.

324
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: Going back and kind of, you know, mirroring the guys

325
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: within the drills that they were in and walking through

326
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: as best he could in real time with exactly what

327
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: they were doing. So it's certainly an eager aspect of

328
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: this defense for him to be able to go in

329
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 4: and without restriction and see what he is able to do.

330
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I do think that some of these rookies

331
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: might have a bit of a leg up, not just

332
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 4: in terms of the physical attributes, but just in terms

333
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: of no one's really locked up the starting job at

334
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: the end of twenty twenty two.

335
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's Kenny Moore and then it's open

336
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 6: season for these guys, and you know Kenny, Kenny could

337
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 6: start outside, he could start in the slot like he's

338
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: gonna be on the field this year. But then the

339
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 6: other positions there if you're in nickel, that's two spots,

340
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 6: two outside spots that are wide open. And I think

341
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: Larry your point about Juju Bryntz. He's not partic dissipating

342
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 6: fully yet, but it was a was.

343
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: It a hand.

344
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: So he gets he can he can do some of

345
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 6: the footwork stuff. He can do the stuff that involves

346
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: your lower body. He just can't jam and press, which,

347
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 6: by the way, is one of the things he's the

348
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: best at is playing press coverage. So getting him with

349
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 6: Ron Milis and getting some of those techniques down so

350
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 6: when he gets to training camp he can really hone

351
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: in on how to use his hands. That's something that

352
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: Rick Venturrey talked about on Inside Football with Rick Ventury

353
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: last week. Just about how you know Brents needs to

354
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 6: be a technician with his hands. His hand placement has

355
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: to be perfect. You get the footwork stuff down now,

356
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: if you can work on that, then you know, really

357
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 6: get into your hand placement, how you strike those things

358
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 6: when you get into training camp with him.

359
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm saying, don't don't sleep on Darius Rush. I

360
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: mean yeah you said, I mean with with Brent's not

361
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: being able to fully be out there, and I'm not

362
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: saying brance can't make up that time in training camp

363
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: when he comes back. I think that he can. But

364
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: for rookies, man Darius Rush is going to get a

365
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: big time opportunity here because it's all about reps for rookies,

366
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: live action, acclimating to the NFL, and and Rush has

367
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: everything you want in a corner to play under Gus Bradley. Big, strong, athletic, fast,

368
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: good footwork, press off the line, and he's healthy. That

369
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: sort of leg up he has right now over a

370
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: guy like Juju Brnt. So don't underestimate the amount of

371
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: time that Rush is going to see in the spring

372
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: and how much that matters, And maybe that might give

373
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: him a slight leg up on paper on the depth

374
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: chart going into training camp.

375
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: Isn't Darius Rush just also such a great football name

376
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: and a.

377
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: Good interview too.

378
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 5: I mean just just, I mean just you know, like

379
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 5: just the name alone, You're like, oh man, that's.

380
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 6: Just a running back.

381
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: I could see that if his name.

382
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: Was like.

383
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 5: But like EJ. Speed, another great football name.

384
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: I know. Yeah, sorry, those are the weird things, like

385
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: when I look over the ross, great football name.

386
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: All right, let's switch over to failed it or nailed it?

387
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: Failed it like you thought of me dabbing my mediocre

388
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: cuts of steak and ranch, or nailed it like a

389
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: cold beer on a summer evening next to the pool, Right,

390
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: those are the two drastic differences here. They failed it

391
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: or nailed it with the NFL schedule makers death. Yeah,

392
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: all right, So the Colts. They're gonna play two AFC

393
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: South games to start the season for the second straight year.

394
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: They also play four of their first six against the division,

395
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: and they don't have a single prime time game all

396
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: season long. The Colts are one of four teams that

397
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: were not given a primetime game, the Falcons, Cardinals, Texans

398
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: being the others. Lara, did the schedule makers fail it

399
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: or nail it? In that regard, I.

400
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: Think that's pretty much where we expected what we thought.

401
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: I mean, JJ predicted no primetime games, and we kind

402
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: of had our you know, wagers on exactly what was

403
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 4: going to happen, and we talked about you know, I

404
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 4: even said in our conversation two weeks ago, I thought

405
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: they were gonna open against Jacksonville.

406
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 5: I'm glad it's at home. Glad they're not playing in

407
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 5: Jacksonville week one, My goodness.

408
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think it's it's kind of what you

409
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: expected when the Colts obviously had a number of primetime

410
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: opportunities last year and those were certainly not stellar television viewing,

411
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: you know, in those it's not transpired.

412
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, I think that that's fine and I'm

413
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 5: okay with it. I think that like it's a.

414
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: Team that is going to have to and want to

415
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: earn the opportunity to play in primetime, and I'm okay

416
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: with it. I think everything kind of shook out. I

417
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: felt like pretty fair. There was nothing that looked at

418
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 4: and thought, oh man, that's a that's terrible. I like

419
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 4: having the bye week after the trip overseas to play

420
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 4: the international game, and then I also liked coming off

421
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 4: the bye week, you get a game at home.

422
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, JJ. What do you make of all the

423
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: AFC South games?

424
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 6: That part of it, though, I'm just like this, two

425
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 6: straight years now the Colts played five there is six

426
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 6: AFC South games in the first seven weeks of last season.

427
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 6: This year they're playing four of their six AFC South

428
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 6: games in the first six weeks of the season. To me,

429
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 6: that's sort of okay, you better get off to a

430
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 6: hot start then, and and last year when they didn't,

431
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 6: it was like, right, I think, think of everything that happened,

432
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: think of everything that had happened after that week seven game,

433
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 6: Marcus Brady got fired, Frank Wright got fired in three

434
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 6: consecutive weeks, because when you when you're won three and

435
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 6: won the division after seven weeks, everything's on the table.

436
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 6: No one's getting fired this year in the middle of

437
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 6: the season. But this is going to be a real

438
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 6: test for the Colts now of how do you handle

439
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 6: the first six weeks? And the interesting thing, like, there's

440
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 6: so many different ways this could go. What if Gardner

441
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 6: Minshew starts the season and the Colts get off to

442
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 6: a really hot start and all of a sudden, which

443
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 6: very well happen which could very well happened. Garden Minshew's

444
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: a good quarterback. All of a sudden, you get to

445
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 6: week seven.

446
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 5: Every birthday, Gardner minsch happy breath.

447
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 6: Happy breathday, Gardner on.

448
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 5: Your guitar, Chill in your van. You know, do whatever

449
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: you're I.

450
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: Don't think you've got.

451
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 5: Whatever.

452
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 6: Like if if you got gets off to a hot start,

453
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 6: are we going to get in a situation where it's

454
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 6: like you can't get him out of the lineup because

455
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 6: you're leading the division. There's gonna be real things for

456
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 6: Shane Stikeen to really consider. And obviously that that'd be

457
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 6: a good problem to have. But the way that the

458
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 6: schedule shakes out, I just I kind of wish it

459
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 6: was maybe a little more dispersed, where you maybe you

460
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 6: would get two of your AFC South games in the

461
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 6: first six and then you get another two in the

462
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 6: next six, and then another two in the last five

463
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 6: or just something like that. It just it doesn't render

464
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 6: the second half of the season meaningless at all, But

465
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 6: it just kind of the big Yeah, and like the

466
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: but also the gravity of divisional games late in the season,

467
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 6: those games, those are the most those are the most

468
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 6: fun games. Sure, you can play in and to only

469
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 6: get two of them. You know, even in twenty twenty

470
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 6: one when the Colts we were rolling, you know, they

471
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 6: were done with the Titans after Week eight, and you

472
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 6: would have thought, man, like a Week fifteen Colts Titans

473
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 6: game that year would have been a lot of fun.

474
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 6: You know, you get the Titans later in the season.

475
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 6: This year, I just, yeah, I'm kind of left wanting

476
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 6: more of that.

477
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, I'm gonna take the lead on this one.

478
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: I've got thoughts, I've got feelings here. So this year's

479
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: schedule includes three Mondays with games that are gonna be

480
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: on the same or at the same time. On two Mondays,

481
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: they're staggered by an hour, and then on the final

482
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Monday when they're doing this, they start at the same time.

483
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 5: What are we doing?

484
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: So okay, I'm glad you feel this way. And Week

485
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: two Saints Panthers ESPN, and then Brown Steelers at eight

486
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: fifteen on ABC. The next Monday or the next time

487
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: they do this, Eagles Bucks at seven fifteen on ABC,

488
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: then Rams at Bengals at eight fifteen on ESPN, and

489
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: then at Week fourteen, you have a pair of games

490
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: that started eight point fifteen, it's Titans, Dolphins, and then

491
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: Packers Giants. I'm saying they failed this one because the

492
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: beauty of Monday was that you were the only game on, right,

493
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: I mean, all eyes on you. Why why water down

494
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: the product? Why take away the uniqueness and the sanctity

495
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: of Monday night football by putting multiple games on at

496
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: the same time? I mean, do you guys have time

497
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 2: to watch an entire Monday night football game when the

498
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: Colts aren't on? I mean, how often do you guys

499
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: do that?

500
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: Every lot? Yeah, here's why I'm excited about it.

501
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: But maybe I'm in the minority.

502
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 6: Here's why they nailed it.

503
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: Keep Monday special.

504
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 6: Two of these three games started seven to fifteen pm.

505
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 6: That's great. I can go to bed at a normal

506
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 6: time after watching a Monday night football game, now will I?

507
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 6: Probably because then I got to watch the end of

508
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 6: Brown Steelers and Rams Bengals. But if those games are blowouts,

509
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 6: then really you're.

510
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 5: Staying at for Brown Steelers?

511
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: Wow?

512
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: Better man, we play both of those teams.

513
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: I just feel lair. I mean, I feel like Sunday night.

514
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: Sunday Night is now the big night.

515
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, agree?

516
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: And now with this to me, it makes Monday night

517
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: feel even less.

518
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a real big fan of the Thursdays by

519
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: the way, too, I really like the third Like to me,

520
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: now the hierarchy of like the Night Games goes Sunday night,

521
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 4: Thursday night, Monday night.

522
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: I think, I think for me, I'm I'm in a

523
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: better viewing opportunity on Thursday night.

524
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

525
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: Selfishly, the workflow on Thursday is not nearly as crazy

526
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: as it is on Monday. Tuesday.

527
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 6: Sure, you're kicking off the week of football.

528
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: I'm still trying to figure out who bought Gardner minshoes

529
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: fan he was selling for twenty five k.

530
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: That is a real opportunity for something.

531
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: I know.

532
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 5: You know, when Gardner talks this week, we might have

533
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 5: to ask you to ask us. Sorry, guys, that's a detour.

534
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, now I'm down.

535
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: A rabbit hole.

536
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 6: I kind of I get it though, with these doubleheaders,

537
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 6: but I don't know, the more football I get to watch,

538
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: the better. And I can't really watch football on Sundays.

539
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 6: That's had of Sunday night football, So I guess I'm

540
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 6: not super mad about it.

541
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 4: I don't like the You're gonna make people choose between

542
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: like watch do you know what I mean? Like it

543
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 4: just like we already do that for We already do

544
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 4: that for the one o'clock games and the four o'clock games,

545
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 4: where like it dictates you know where things are going,

546
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 4: and then I don't know, well, this is actually selfishly,

547
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: this works out okay in my house because we installed

548
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 4: when we did our home run.

549
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 5: Oh, we now have three TVs in the living room.

550
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: It's like it's like Buffalo Wild Wings, so we will

551
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 4: be able to watch multiple to we just toggle between

552
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: the two. So actually from a personal sense, and actually

553
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that, but yeah, it just seems it

554
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: seems a little crowded, you know.

555
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 5: Just that's my opinion.

556
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: Speaking of crowded, Christmas Day is now crowded. Final one

557
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: NFL now with Christmas playing on Monday. Christmas falls on

558
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: a Monday this year, so there's gonna be a Monday

559
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: Christmas Day triple header. You're gonna have Raiders, Chiefs, Giants, Eagles, Ravens,

560
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers JJ. Did the schedule makers fail it

561
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: or nail it? Do we need that much football on

562
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: Christmas Day?

563
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

564
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if they nailed it on the opponents,

565
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: because last year, the games were Packers, Dolphins, Rams, Broncos

566
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 6: and Cardinals Bucks. And by the time you got to

567
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 6: that Cardinals Bucks game, after the Rams beat the Broncos

568
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: like fifty two to fourteen, it was just like, ugh,

569
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: I actually I have no interest in watching these two games,

570
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 6: these two teams, and it was a bad football game.

571
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 6: And you know what I still did. I watched it.

572
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, that's it. That's it, Larry. We had games on

573
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the pandemic, Yeah, because of scheduling,

574
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: you know, with with breakouts and stuff like that, and

575
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: we still watched those games, still got great run.

576
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 6: The Ravens Steelers game that was on like a Wednesday.

577
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 6: I was locked into that ause.

578
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: And the big question is if, Okay, so this year

579
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: it's on a Monday. Next year Christmas is gonna be

580
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: on a Tuesday. Will the NFL continue to put games

581
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day starting next year on a non typical

582
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: football game.

583
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 4: Day Tuesday's tough because that really just wrecked the whole

584
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 4: week leading into in the week after.

585
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: Kind of you know, like that Tuesday good enough?

586
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: I do.

587
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: I do love Christmas Day football because there's always Christmas

588
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: Day NBA, And it's so much different because late December

589
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 4: and the NBA there aren't like critical games at that point, right,

590
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 4: like you're you're well before the All Star break and

591
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: all of those things. This is, in turn, I mean,

592
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: this is the meat of the NFL calendar, right where

593
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: you know you're up for your trying to position yourself

594
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: for playoff positioning, division titles, all.

595
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 5: Of those things. So I love that. I'm a big

596
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: fan of it. The Tuesday is a little precarious in

597
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 5: my book.

598
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if they can pull it off after

599
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: this year. I mean it's nice when it's Saturday, Sunday

600
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: Monday and those are traditional football game days. You can

601
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: get away with that, But I don't know if play

602
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: on Tuesday and then play Saturday Sunday.

603
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 4: Like, are you also going to have are they going

604
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 4: to be like those like kind of off bowl games

605
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: happening then too?

606
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 5: Like are you gonna have some.

607
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 6: Of those got the Bahamas Bowl? Baby?

608
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah? Like is that? But I'm just thinking for TV purpose.

609
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 6: Whatever it is. Yeah, bad boy mowers, excuse me?

610
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: I like it. Well. One thing about this schedule that

611
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: we are incredibly excited about again is that Colts trip

612
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: to Germany against the Patriots Week ten, mid November, and

613
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: no one better to talk about the Colts playing overseas

614
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: and heading to Germany than former Colts defensive end Bjorn Werner,

615
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: a native German grew up in Berlin, still heavily involved

616
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL in Germany, calling NFL games as a

617
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: color commentator on German television. He's a superstar over there.

618
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: So without further ado, here's my conversation earlier today with

619
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: Bjorn Werner about the Colts' upcoming trip to Germany this fall.

620
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: All right, joining us now, former Colts defensive end Bjorn Werner.

621
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Bjorn joining us from Germany in his hometown of Berlin

622
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: this morning. Bjorn, thanks so much of the time today.

623
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: How are you.

624
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. How are you?

625

Speaker 2: Oh man, congratulations on that.

641
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840

642
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: the whole football journey was done, we decided to kind

643
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: of go back home and obviously be close to the families.

644
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: And then I kind of got into the whole Obviously,

645
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,520

Speaker 3: it's my life, you know. So I was I'm very

647
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: involved in the whole media stuff. I'm I'm a color

648
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: analyst here for the German TV station, calling games, you know,

649
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: growing growing the game over here overseas, you know, because

650
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: the game was so good to me and I would

651
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: love to just be a part of the journey continuing forward,

652
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: just making it grow even more, you know. So it's

653
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: it's been. It's kind of I live always explained like

654
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm living the dream after the dream. It wasn't to

655
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: play in the NFL, and I was able to do that. Obviously,

656
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: I would have loved to have all the way along

657
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: a career, but the body eventually said, man, you've done now.

658
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: So I wish I could have done that. But you know,

659
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: sometimes life kind you know, like closing the door and

660
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: another door opens up. And then now like I'm sitting

661
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: here at home right now talking to you talking about

662
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: international games like in Germany. You know what, this is

663
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: so crazy, and now like you guys are cold, my

664
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: former team are coming over to play the Patriots. It's

665
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: just it's kind of surreal. I'll be honest, Like back

666
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: in the day, I would have loved to play in

667
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: that game. You know, it's being bought of the cold

668
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 3: at home in front of the home fans. But I'm

669
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: excited for everybody who's on the roster right now, all

670
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: the coaches are everybody who's allowed to come over because

671
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: it's a great experience. I can tell you that.

672
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let let's stay there. I mean, how

673
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: did you get in how did you get involved in broadcasting?

674
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: And I guess for the ignorance of not knowing the

675
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: full details of that beyond I mean, what is what

676
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: is the market for American football on television in Germany?

677
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: And I guess the last question, which is a loaded question,

678
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: I understand, but how do you how do you perform

679
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: broadcasting in Germany for American football on a week to

680
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: week basis?

681
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the last ten years, a TV station called

682
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: pros even had the right to show one game in

683
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: the one pm slot and one game and the second slot,

684
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: and all the playoffs games and the Super Bowl. So

685
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: I just started, like once I was done and moving

686
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: over here, you know, I was like, man, let me

687
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: try this, let me get into it, let me see

688
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: if I like also talking about the game, you know,

689
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: maybe like to see if the fans like it. And

690
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: when I started, I mean, the growth every year in

691
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: TV viewership, it's it's tremendously in Germany. This is why

692
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: Germany is the biggest market outside of North America for

693
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 3: the NFL and the German people just I guess love

694
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: the sport and it's amazing to see that back in

695
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: the day, like I don't know, like fifteen years ago.

696
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm thirty two now, like when I started playing. When

697
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: I was twelve years old, I started playing flag football,

698
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: and then with fourteen, I played tackle football. I was

699
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: carrying my shoulder pads and my helm helmet through the

700
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 3: through the underground, through the train stations, and people were thinking,

701
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: I play ice hockey. Yeah. And now now, like you

702
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: you see so many people on the streets wearing NFL

703
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: merchandise and the excitement obviously from last year's game. Everybody

704
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 3: in the US who follows American football the NFL knew

705
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: about the Munich game, like what kind of event there

706
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: was because I saw it, like like we were close with,

707
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: you know, Colleen Wolf, Willie McGuinness, Joe Thomas, all these

708
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: guys who came over been part of the broadcasting from

709
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: the NFL network or the other TV channels. They were

710
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: so surprised how amazing this was, you know, and and

711
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: uh yeah, I just I just I just wanted to

712
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: be part of it. So I kind of applied, but

713
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: they kind of reached out to me, and then I

714
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: kind I guess my role grew bigger and bigger from

715
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: year to year. We have one of the guys who

716
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm doing the TV with and me have the biggest

717
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: sports podcast in our football BroMans, uh, and that kind

718
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: of grew very fast as well. You know Pat McAfee,

719
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, me and him are actually a little in

720
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 3: a little conversation still and you know, changing stuff on

721
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: the dignitive digital space. And I told him he better

722
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: come over this time because he told me last time

723
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: he wanted to come over and play a ping pong

724
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 3: match against me in front of a whole crowd. So

725
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 3: he checked the hands with me as the Super Bowl.

726
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: But yeah, it just kind of happened. Talked about it,

727
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 3: and you know, I love talking about football, you know,

728
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 3: it's I don't know, this was always my my love.

729
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: You know, at twelve years old, I fell in love

730
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 3: with the game and they never stopped. Now I can't

731
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: play it anymore. I don't want to coach. And also

732
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: I like to just be involved obviously talking about it

733
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 3: and analyzing stuff. And yeah, now I've been doing this

734
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, like six years now, five six years,

735
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 3: and it's been amazing.

736
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: So the as you said, the so the international games,

737
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: you guys actually get to those and you broadcast those

738
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: games live at the stadium, you know, Germany last year,

739
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: and then of course the London games in years past,

740
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: and then you you go in and you broadcast the

741
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: super Bowl. You know, you come make that trip and

742
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: you broadcast the Super Bowl live in person. But tell

743
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: me about the atmosphere of a game of an NFL

744
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: game actually played in Germany and how that compared to

745
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: the atmosphere and the crowd and the energy of games

746
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 2: that you played in and games that you've called. I mean,

747
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure it had to been just completely different atmosphere

748
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: and excitement for that game, right from from a crowd standpoint.

749
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I'm gonna explain it, like just my

750
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: my usually usual Sunday is like I'm going to the

751
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: TV station. It has been in Munich. Now they switching

752
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 3: TV rights to different TV stations, but I traveled to

753
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: Munich and then I sit in the TV on like

754
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: in a TV studio, and I look at a monitor

755
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: and I commentate the game based off what I see

756
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 3: on TV. It's nice, but it's not the same feeling

757
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 3: as being the stadium, feeling the cloud right, having this atmosphere. So,

758
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: like you said, we do the international games, and we

759
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: do the Super Bowl life in the stadium for the fans,

760
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: and every time you have a chance to do that.

761
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: It's it's amazing. But till this point last year we

762
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: only experienced the Super Bowl and the International Games, which

763
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: I like the London Games which are amazing, but the

764
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 3: Munich game topped it all. I'm telling you for us,

765
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: for me as a German, as a former German player,

766
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 3: being able to see that it's been I wasn't honest,

767
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't like I was like, I don't know.

768
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: It was like a holiday, and it's just emotional to

769
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 3: see how far the game has come in my country,

770
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 3: you know where I'm from, and seeing the whole journey

771
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 3: of it. And I commentated, I was the adalys at

772
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: that game for the TV station, and the crowd was exceptional.

773
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: It was it was nothing like I've seen before. I'll

774
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: be honest. It topped all the Super Bowls. I've been

775
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 3: through the five Super Bowls and commentated it. And obviously

776
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is a different kind of crowd right

777
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: like the event, It's not like the fan basis are

778
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 3: fully packed off. You know, you have like fifteen or

779
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 3: twenty thousand people from each team there and the rest

780
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: are kind of like the VIPs and the sponsors and stuff. Yeah,

781
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: but the like last year, like the Seahawks and the Buccaneers,

782
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: the crowd was just filled with all kinds of merchandise

783
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 3: and they were just celebrating these games from from the

784
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: beginning till like hours after the game, like they had

785
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: to kick out the fans out of the stadium to

786
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: clean up because the fans just enjoyed it so much.

787
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: Because I can tell you the German game, once they

788
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: sold the tickets right like in the Alliance Arena from Bayern, Munich,

789
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 3: they had like seventy four thousand tickets on sale, and

790
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: when it came out the waiting lines like two minutes

791
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: into like they like they're putting it online, there were

792
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: like seven hundred thousand people on the waiting line on Ticketmaster.

793
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: So after that they sold out in a few minutes,

794
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 3: and they said this was the biggest the second biggest

795
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: event after the Super Bowl for Ticketmaster, and were like, what,

796
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: this can't be true. So this created another hyde that

797
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: so many people just wanted to be at this game,

798
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 3: and so many people were disappointed not being able to go.

799
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: It's so hard to get the tickets for these games.

800
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: It's like gold ticket, you know, it's like Super Bowl

801
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 3: and this is for this is crazy for everybody who

802
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: he is this because no event in the US, it's

803
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: likely just besides the Super Bowl, right you know that

804
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 3: to be and you have to pay a lot of

805
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 3: money to get there, like it's kind of impossible to

806
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: get tickets and uh and it was amazing just to

807
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 3: see the car they were. They were like, you know,

808
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: uh singing Street Caroline. You saw, you know, having every

809
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: every American was involved with the NFL. Saw the whole

810
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 3: stadium singing three Caroline. It was like a concert like

811
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: it was it was doing the two minute drill and

812
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: the tempa bit buckets were kind of like you know,

813
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: having the finishing drive with Tom Brady on the field

814
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: and they were start singing three Caroline for like the

815
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: whole song, and the stadium literally powers in the two miniaderal.

816
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: The players were just looking up enjoying a concert. And

817
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 3: it was crazy, like I've never seen that. I've never

818
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: seen that at any game. I've never seen it with

819
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 3: the Coats, I've never seen it in Florida State. I've

820
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: never seen it away games we played, you know with

821
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 3: the Colts, we played everywhere, you know, we played all

822
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: these great stadiums with great fan bases, but you've never

823
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: seen it because you have so many home games the

824
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: fan can go to. But this one game last year

825
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: was the home games all of Germany like, and it's

826
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: it's the home game they've been waiting for a long time.

827
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: So the London tickets was the closest, you know, game

828
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: they can go to. They're already tough to get the tickets,

829
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: but the Germans game beat the London tickets. Now, you know,

830
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: to get a tight of tickets. And now we have

831
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: two games in Frankfurt. It's a smaller stadium, so I

832
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: guess it's the same way that. Yeah, it's gonna be

833
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: if you got a you get some tickets, let me know.

834
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: I'll let you. I will let you know. I will

835
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 2: do my best, right, No, that's it's awesome.

836
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 3: Like I think, Like I said, the Colts fan base,

837
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: I think hopefully I can only suggest the Colts nation

838
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 3: who wants to travel, it's a great trip, you know.

839
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 3: I like, it's gonna be worth it. It's it's different.

840
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 3: It's just different, you know. So everybody who has I

841
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: guess the time to do it, I would suggest you

842
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: to do it. It's it's a it's a it, especially

843
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: Indiana who has a lot of a lot of Germany

844
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: that's right heritage. And there's a lot of people whoever

845
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: you know a great great grandmother from Germany or great

846
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 3: grandfather from Germany's it's pretty cool experience, I.

847
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: Think, no doubt about it. That's well said. Well put

848
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: right there. Bjorn Werner is our guest. Now you talk

849
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: about I mean, there's no question that the popularity of

850
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: football in Germany is there because of what you just described.

851
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why the NFL is going there in

852
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: the first place, Bjorn. But why maybe give me a

853
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: handful of reasons on why you think American football became

854
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: so popular so fast in Germany.

855
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: I think, I mean, it did start with some of

856
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 3: the NFL players who made it. I was one of them.

857
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 3: But there was a Sebastian Farmer who won two Super

858
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 3: Bowls with the Patriots. There was a Marcus school In,

859
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 3: a defensive lineman with the Giants, Casimo de Ballei defensive

860
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: lineman with the with the Saints. At one point when

861
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: I was still with the coach, we had six German

862
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: NFL players and obviously me being a first round and

863
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 3: se Bachelor former winning uh the Super Bowl. A year

864
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 3: after do you remember when we lost in the AFT

865
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 3: Championship de play game, they won the Super Bowl. So

866
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: that was my second year. So the first I guess

867
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: German player who literally grew up in Germany and and

868
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: went over won a super Bowl. So those two stories,

869
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 3: being a first round pick and having him win it,

870
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 3: it was a huge media media story, you know, within

871
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: two years. And then the TV station prosine kind of

872
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: they they had the games in the playoffs and the

873
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, but then they kind of jumped on and said,

874
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: you know what, let's do it every week. Let's let's

875
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: just show the playoffs in the in the Super Bowl, right,

876
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 3: Let's show two games each week in the regular season

877
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 3: and try to build it. So it's a it's a

878
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 3: prombination of the TV stations taking a risk, but also

879
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 3: like the German players at the same time making it

880
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: to the NFL and and and creating some news for

881
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: the German outlets. So that's that I think is the

882
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: starting point. But then it kind of took her own dynamic,

883
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: like the fans just liking the game even more, we

884
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 3: taught them even more. The people who are on TV

885
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: started to tell them more about the sport that is

886
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: so different from from soccer. You know, obviously a football,

887
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, if you say soccer over here,

888
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna you don't like it in football, you know,

889
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 3: but for our interview with soccer, and you know, soccer

890
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: has become just a it's so much. You see so

891
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: much soccer, so many different tournaments, Champions League, League, all

892
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 3: these things. And I feel like the Germans were just

893
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: ready to see something new and fresh. You know. It

894
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 3: was one of those it was just time for the

895
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: sports fans to see something new and and it's a

896
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 3: normal time over here. So the one pm game is

897
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: like a seven pm PM game for US, and the

898
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: and the and the four thirty game, right the PM

899
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 3: game is like ten thirty, so it's like six hours.

900
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: Obviously the playoffs in the super Bowl is going to

901
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: be very late for us. But the Super Bowl has

902
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: like over two million viewers in the middle of the night,

903
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 3: you know, And that's that's across. We have the game pass,

904
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 3: we have the TV station, we have the Zone. So

905
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 3: I think there's a total of fifteen to twenty million

906
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 3: NFL fans who know who knows it, you know, so

907
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 3: that out of were like what like eighty four million

908
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 3: population and there's a lot of people have people knowing

909
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 3: the brand the NFL. Right, it just did a great job,

910
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 3: I guess marketing. And for sure the last two weeks,

911
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: the last like year and a half and two years,

912
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 3: they now have an office see in Germany because they

913
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 3: see how important the market is. And since obviously the

914
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 3: office kind of took over, there's even more marketing within

915
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: the country for these for these for these games and

916
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: for the brand. So you can just see how it's

917
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: scoring of pasta now coming mainstream is not like this

918
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 3: small sport on the side, you know, it's really becoming

919
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 3: a mainstream sport in the here, in the in the US,

920
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: in the US and Germany. And at the same time,

921
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 3: more kids starting to play the game, you know, because

922
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 3: they getting inspired, they're getting motivated, they fell on they

923
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 3: fall in love with the game, and that's kind of

924
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: like that's the big goal, right, it's kind of inspired

925
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 3: the next generation to you know, play football.

926
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: So well, like you said, I mean the Colts and

927
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 2: Patriots coming over there. The second of two games played

928
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: in Germany this year after a game was played last

929
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: year in Germany in twenty twenty two, both games are

930
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: gonna be played in Frankfurt, Bjorn, It's about a four

931
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 2: hour drive from where you grew up in Berlin. Like

932
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: you said, I mean you you highly encourage Colts fans

933
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: to make that trip if they can swing it. Tell

934
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: us what's the city of Frankfurt, Like, what what do

935
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: you like about where that game is being played, and

936
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: maybe a handful of things to check out about the

937
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: city if some Colts fans from over here are contemplating

938
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 2: about making that trip in November.

939
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 3: You know, the beautiful thing about Frankfurt or I guess

940
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: Germany is Frankfurt has the biggest airport in Europe. It's

941
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 3: very easy to travel from anywhere in the US to Frankfurt.

942
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 3: But the good thing is in Germany you can rent

943
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: a car for a weekend, do a long weekend, just

944
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: drive around that area, right, because that's it's a beautiful

945
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: area outside of Frankfurt. The city, the city itself is

946
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 3: kind of like a banking area, a banking city, right,

947
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: Like you know, the Deutsche Bank is there located. So

948
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 3: it's a very very American like city where like a

949
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 3: high skyscrapers and stuff like that. But you can see

950
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 3: so many cities and smaller towns, but obviously the beautiful

951
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: sizes from Germany, like the old towns and stuff like that.

952
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 3: You can kind of feel it. But I mean, the

953
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: whole city is just transforming. That's the that's the interesting

954
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 3: part for me. The whole city is kind of transforming

955
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 3: into this whole football vibe, you know. And then it's

956
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 3: just kind of amazing to see that for for me

957
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 3: as a German guy who who bien to Frankfurt. But

958
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, nobody cares at all, like a few years ago,

959
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 3: and now boom, the NFL is going to be there

960
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: for like two weeks. All of a sudden, like everything

961
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 3: is like branded. There's this huge there's this huge NFL

962
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: football right now in the middle of the of the

963
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 3: middle of the city right now. They're just there now.

964
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: They just put it there. As as as a marketing,

965
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 3: it's it's it's crazy, you know, and you know it's

966
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 3: i mean the German beer, another Americans German. It's always

967
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: a good trip.

968
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely. Uh, that's part of the trip, tich.

969
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 2: I think when you you're talking about that trip and uh,

970
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 2: what's enticing about going over there? Lastly, Bjorn uh, maybe

971
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 2: maybe put on your coaching hat her or you know,

972
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: your former player had your GM had What advice would

973
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: you give to to teams like the Colts and Patriots

974
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: making that trip to Germany? Right, I mean, how much

975
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: time do you think they're gonna need to get acclimated

976
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 2: and adjusted body clockwise to be in a position where

977
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 2: they can play at the highest of levels, Like how

978
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 2: much travel time and lag time if you will, on

979
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: the front end of that trip, would you suggest for

980
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: those players?

981
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I know that I know that

982
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 3: the Colts franchise been to London already, and I think

983
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: they moved. They came in on a Thursday. That was

984
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 3: kind of like the thing right early on people the

985
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: whole teams were staying for a whole week, and then

986
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: somehow somebody figured out. I guess it's more convenient, I

987
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 3: guess a better recovery time, or like you can be

988
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 3: more ready to go when you travel on Thursday, coming late,

989
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: you know, stay away because it's it's seven hours, six

990
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 3: hours instead of five hours from the London gainst. So

991
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: I guess the Colts have kind of advantaged. I don't

992
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 3: know who's all still involved. Who I guess what was

993
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 3: the game like, correct, sixteen? Yes, I mean it's been

994
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 3: a while already, I was lying, So I don't know

995
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 3: how many guys to sit on the team who've been

996
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 3: through that. But I mean this is kind of you know,

997
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: depends on it depends on the franchise, what kind of

998
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 3: movie they're doing. Are they going to try and enjoy

999
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: the week a little you know, coming early? But I

1000
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: feel like like even last year, the teams were coming in.

1001
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 3: I remember the Buccan years came in on that Thursday

1002
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 3: night or like even Friday, and they came in Thursday night.

1003
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 3: So one team, I think the Bucketeers came in like Friday,

1004
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: So you know what I'm saying that Derek came even

1005
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 3: they didn't want to do this whole long trip, so

1006
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 3: I guess it was a business trip. Right at the

1007
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: end of the day, it's still a business trip. But

1008
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: I can at least say I think it's a special

1009
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 3: memory and experience for players who are able to play overseas,

1010
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: because I also know from my time in the US

1011
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 3: I lived there for twelve years, a lot of Americans

1012
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 3: never make it outside the country because the country is

1013
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: so big, so to be able to play an NFL

1014
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 3: game overseas, and because it's your job, you know you're

1015
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 3: able to do that, and they give you this experience.

1016
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 3: I mean, just soak it in. Just soak it in.

1017
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: I mean, even even if it's just one day. Right. Also,

1018
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 3: I mean at least I know the franchises, I know

1019
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: the calls, and the Patriots are going to give the

1020
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 3: team at least an afternoon off to just do something

1021
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 3: to be around the city. So I think to combine

1022
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 3: work and and and leisure, it's pretty cool.

1023
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's it for me. What you just

1024
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: said that that's it for me. I mean, I don't

1025
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: know when in my lifetime, jorn uh, when I'm going

1026
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 2: to get to Germany. So to be able to travel

1027
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: for you know, work so to speak, but then also

1028
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 2: take in an NFL game at such a unique in

1029
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 2: such a unique environment, I mean, that's that's unbelievable for

1030
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: me in terms of that opportunity. Lastly, wrapping up here

1031
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: with you, I gotta ask you, because you are you

1032
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: are an analyst now right, you are an expert, So

1033
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 2: what what do you make of the cults now born

1034
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: under Shane Steichen and the direction they have now at

1035
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: quarterback and Anthony Richardson, what's your level of optimism in

1036
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 2: Germany about the Colts going into this season.

1037
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: I mean, let's let's I'm gonna be honest right here. Yep,

1038
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 3: obviously because I played for the Colts, and and that's

1039
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 3: always the question I get also from my fans and

1040
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 3: and from the journalists over the year. It's been a

1041
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 3: rough Pats. It's been a rough patch, you know, since

1042
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 3: at the quarterback position, since Andrew kind of kind of

1043
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 3: left you, right, So I'm excited. I'm excited that the

1044
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 3: Colts took Anthony Richardson. There's a lot of potential, Like

1045
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: everybody in us kind of said that, even though he's

1046
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 3: a Florida Gator, because I'm a Florida Saint similar, but

1047
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: still he has he has so much potential, you know,

1048
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 3: And and I'm excited to see what he's going to

1049
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 3: do early in the season and the growth he's gonna take.

1050
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 3: I love the I love the interviews I'm seeing from him.

1051
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: He seems like a very humble guy. Obviously I can

1052
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 3: just see from outside looking in, Uh, he seems very

1053
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 3: humble and and and that's the approach you know. I mean,

1054
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 3: that's just I've been in this in the spot, not

1055
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: as a quarterback, but as a former first round pick.

1056
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 3: There comes a lot of pressure with it, right when

1057
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 3: they when you perform, they love you. When you don't perform,

1058
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 3: they hate you right away. That's part of being a

1059
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 3: professional athlete. Deal with it and learn with it too,

1060
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 3: you know. Like, and I'm very excited. I'm hoping, I'm

1061
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 3: really I'm really hoping that he has a very good

1062
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 3: rookie season that he's going to come over. I think

1063
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: it's we can, right, it's we can that he's going

1064
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 3: to come over here and and give the give the

1065
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 3: pages a good battle, you know, as a quarter because

1066
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 3: obviously that at the end of the day, that's the

1067
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 3: most important position. I mean, just just to feed on you,

1068
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 3: you know, just to feed the Code station a little bit.

1069
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 3: I know, Codes and the Patriots already don't have a

1070
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 3: lot of relationship right to hate relationships, so but to

1071
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 3: be in Germany where the Patriots, it's very important. It's

1072
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 3: a very important market right The Patriots is one of

1073
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 3: the teams, one of the four teams that has the

1074
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 3: marketing right here, the international marketing rights. They they're going

1075
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 3: to do everything to obviously just spread out and say, hey,

1076
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 3: the Patriots are here. Finally they've been I'm telling you,

1077
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: Robert Kraft's been waiting for this a long time and

1078
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 3: now he got it. And I'm just saying it would

1079
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 3: be nice if the course, you know, the Colts have

1080
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 3: a great opportunity to kind of ruin before Honeywood, you know.

1081
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 3: But the Patriots always good team, right Mac Jones and

Speaker 3: Billy b theyre always kind of have a good team.

1084
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: like I said, and Steichen, who's obviously a quartering the guy,

1085
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 3: an officive guy. I'm excited for it to see, you know,

1086
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: and you know, at the end of the day, it's

1087
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 3: been a long time, but I always kind of have

1088
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 3: a place for the Colts obviously in my heart, because

1089
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 3: they they gave me a lot, you know, they gave

1090
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: me the chance. My two girls grew up in Indianapolis,

1091
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 3: were born in Carmel, Indiana, and my wife. It's just

1092
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 3: there's a lot of a lot of memories and it

1093
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 3: would be cool to see you guys come over and

1094
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 3: hopefully I'm able to, you know, analyze this game. Or

1095
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 3: commentate this game. If not, I'm definitely going to be

1096
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 3: at the stadium trying to be there because we have

1097
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 3: two games. And it's kind of always the way the

1098
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 3: NFL network, like our network, kind of says, Okay, you're

1099
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: going to do this game. You're going to do this game,

1100
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 3: you know, because we have more guys. So hopefully I

1101
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 3: get this one.

1102
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean certainly you can. You can throw your

1103
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 2: weight around saying hey, hey, let's look at me like,

1104
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 2: this is where I come from, this is my team,

1105
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: this is the game I need, right come on.

1106
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 3: So I'm saying, come on, guys, and I play for

1107
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 3: this team. This was a good story, So I'm excited

1108
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 3: for you. I'll be honest, like you. Everybody who's able

1109
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 3: to travel very much. Not the whole coach staff is

1110
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: going to be able to travel, because I know there's

1111
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 3: so many people involved behind the scenes as well, and

1112
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm sure not every single one can go.

1113
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: But even for the people who can go or who

1114
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 3: are thinking about it, who have the chance of going,

1115
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: do it. That's the one on the last time opportunity.

1116
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 3: And it's going to be a nice crowd and it's different.

1117
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 3: It's going to be a different crowd. I know, these

1118
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 3: two games in Frankfurt gonna be wild again. They're going

1119
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 3: to be special, you know. Again they it's it's like

1120
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 3: it's like forty six thousand people fitting into the stadium.

1121
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 3: But it's a very nice, compact stadium. You know, it's

1122
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 3: going to be a very I mean just look at

1123
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 3: the Amscrat Frankfurt, the Bundesliga team. They have one of

1124
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 3: the craziest fan base, yes, in the Bundesliga. When they

1125
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: have a game, the stadium is almost on fire. You know,

1126
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 3: it's like it's wild. So I feel like I feel

1127
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 3: like it's that kind of model or that kind of

1128
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 3: energy is going to transform also into the football fans

1129
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 3: who are going to come in there because there's a

1130
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 3: lot of tradition in that stadium. I'm excited, arn't.

1131
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: You're just a natural man. I mean, you have so

1152
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: Bjorn Werner from earlier today. Fantastic conversation back here with

1153
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 2: Larra and JJ. Here's one of Bjorn's highlights from last year,

1154
00:55:47,360 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 2: by the way, from German television, Yammys chips much her loos.

1155
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: I think that was from the Dohin Bill's Dolphins on

1156
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 2: a scoop and score. That wasrumble fumble recovery by Miami

1157
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: mocked iron in fumble owned r Light's ironing touchdown.

1158
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 5: I think, Wow, I can't wait for you to make

1159
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 5: that Calvin in a Colts game.

1160
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta, I gotta go. It's it's a

1161
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: little dusty. I gotta have a little refresher course, bring

1162
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,280
Speaker 2: a Theosaurus over there. But yeah, four years in German

1163
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: and andorg.

1164
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 5: Great.

1165
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 2: And speaking of broadcasting, how about Matt Ryan. Lahara announced

1166
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 2: this week he's gonna be working for CBS in studio

1167
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 2: and calling a couple of games next season.

1168
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 4: If we know anything about Matt Ryan, it is that

1169
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 4: any opportunity he has presented, he will absolutely crush because

1170
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 4: he not only has immense football knowledge, but he also

1171
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 4: has a fantastic personality.

1172
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 5: He's engaging, he's dynamic. Uh, he has a great way

1173
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 5: of communicating. He is just incredibly likable.

1174
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 4: And to create such a fun energy and dynamic with

1175
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 4: the other guys, I'm thrilled for Matt and I honestly

1176
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 4: think like people watching are going to get smarter because

1177
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 4: of Matt Ryan being in a broadcast booth in a studio.

1178
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. There's always a lot of value

1179
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 2: for these broadcasting entities to hire former athletes, especially quarterbacks,

1180
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 2: because they're so smart the guys that just recently left

1181
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 2: the game because they come in knowing the players on

1182
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: the field because they just played against them, right, They

1183
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 2: know the coaches, they know the schemes, they know the players.

1184
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 2: So from that angle, man, it's it continues to be

1185
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 2: a slam dunk for Matt Ryan. All right, Larry, you

1186
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 2: got one random thought?

1187
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 6: O the weed and why is the carpet?

1188
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 4: All went Todd. I don't know, Marco. You guys going

1189
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 4: out of town, do know if it's cold there for

1190
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 4: these vans, get good cast smile and.

1191
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 6: Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut.

1192
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 2: Up playing on us.

1193
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 4: All right, I've been traveling a little bit of late

1194
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 4: so I had this thought that emerged, and uh so

1195
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 4: there's an episode of Sex in the City. And I

1196
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 4: know that most probably this listening audience won't have much

1197
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 4: familiarity with it, but Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda, no, there you go,

1198
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 4: Miranda is one of the key characters.

1199
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 2: Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte, Carrie, Carrie, wow.

1200
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1201
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 5: And then who are the guys?

1202
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 6: Do you got you?

1203
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: There's big yes, and then the guy that was like

1204
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: the big carpenter guy, yeah, yeah, pressing me right, Well,

1205
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 2: it's I get it on the peripheral because it was

1206
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 2: on but I didn't watch it, but it was on

1207
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 2: the I got enough. Yeah, yeah, I got enough.

1208
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,840

01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 3: Like?

1250
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:42,960

Speaker 4: If I don't have like something like blasting in my like,

1254
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 4: you know, like Little Wayne, particularly.

1255
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: I have to like cut grass or clean the house

1256
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:53,560

01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: If not, I just like, okay, I'm not doing this this.

1259
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly.

1260
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 6: I love cleaning the house with some piece and quiet.

1261
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 6: Oh no, I got a piece quiet. No, I don't

1262
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 6: get like it's.

1263
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 5: I get a time to get distracting.

1264
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 6: Oh god, I thought it was. And then I had

1265
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 6: three year old boys, and I'm like, oh, piece of

1266
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 6: clients the past.

1267
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,479
Speaker 5: Okay, So what is your SSB though? What is something

1268
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 5: you look forward to do in complete solitude?

1269
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 6: If I'm at home, and let's say, because if if

1270
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 6: the kids are asleep and Betsy's out doing something or

1271
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 6: she's away. Uh, if it's nice out, I'll go out.

1272
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 6: We just put a projector on our patio and I

1273
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 6: will go put a projector down, and I'll pop on

1274
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 6: MLB TV. I don't even care what game it is.

1275
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 6: I'll just pop on a ball game, sit out there

1276
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 6: with a cold beer, watch the Big.

1277
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 5: Boy Bower's Bowl particularly.

1278
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 6: I'd love to, but that's in the winter. I can't

1279
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 6: watch a Big Boy Mowers. I guess I can watch

1280
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 6: a replay.

1281
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, a minute. Cool cool technology there. So you

1282
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: have a screen, like a drop down screen.

1283
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 6: We I installed a projector's screen on our patio, like

1284
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 6: hung a projector from our patio ceiling. It's kind of covered,

1285
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 6: so so is it like weather proof? I am does

1286
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 6: really not get in to the patio because the patio

1287
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 6: faces south and is covered. So it works out great

1288
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 6: where I can just drop the projector down, you know,

1289
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 6: I cover it a little bit.

1290
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Is that like a remote control?

1291
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 6: No, no, it's not a remote control. I gotta I

1292
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 6: gotta get a step sole to pull it down.

1293
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, do that if it's Nonetheless.

1294
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 6: If it's cold out, they'll go to the basement. I'll

1295
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 6: pop on the N sixty four. I uh, I'll play

1296
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 6: a little NFL Blitz. Oh nice, Classic Clay, Maybe pop in.

1297
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 5: A little star Fox shout out to homage.

1298
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 4: They have an NFL Blitz collection on the website, and

1299
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 4: I have the Jonathan Taylor T shirt and it is like,

1300
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 4: I get.

1301
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 6: I can't look at that because it's so much money

1302
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 6: on it. It's so good, But yeah, that would be it.

1303
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 6: And then like food wise, there's not really anything. But

1304
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 6: if I'm on the road and like we're not going

1305
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 6: out to dinner anything. I'll get in the hotel room

1306
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 6: and I'll pop on The Simpsons or Archer, two shows

1307
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 6: that I love watching that Betsy, there's no way she's

1308
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 6: watching those with me. Yeah, she thinks they're stupid, which

1309
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 6: is fair they are, but they're great in my mind.

1310
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 2: So I would probably just hang out. If it's a

1311
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: nice night, i'd go outside, listen to classic vinyl on

01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 2: stuff is too deep for I mean that that's the

1319
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: whole genre that I just completely skipped over, like late eighties,
