75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Every time I hear that song, I immediately think of

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: the scene in the Sandlot from the Fourth of July.

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: That's exactly what comes to me when.

78
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: I think of Lee Greenwood. I think of Canton, Ohio

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: and the Hall of Fame game that was canceled. Did

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: he perform because he performed well? That that was the

81
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: game that was the debacle game. It was Colts and

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Packers Got Quick Tangent. Okay, that was the game that

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: got canceled because of the field and the paint and

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: the whole schmazzle. And Lee Greenwood was supposed to play

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: at halftime of that game, and he was supposed to

86
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: play two songs. Obviously one of them was yeah exactly.

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: The game gets canceled. So the PA guy comes out

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: and he says, ladies and gentlemen, today's game has been

89
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: canceled due to field conditions, right, something to that effect.

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: And it's just pandemonium. It's chaos. It's people like going

91
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: to the ticket office and demanding their you know, refund

92
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: and and trying to get their concession stand money back

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: and all of that. And Lee Greenwood has been thrusted

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: out on the field and they're trying to play damage control.

95
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: The NFL just shoots him out in the middle of

96
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: the field. They say, play the song, play the song,

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: Play the song.

98
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: So he gets up there, plays the song.

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: No one's listening, no one's paying attention, no one even

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: knows he's out there. So he gets done playing his

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: one song, and then Hall of Fame representatives are going

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: play it again, play.

103
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: It again, just do it again.

104
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: I felt so bad for him, so it literally in

105
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: Mike Colts travels, I've seen Lee Greenwood play his one

106
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: song like seven times. No, that was John Fogerty. He

107
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: was in Dallas. He was in Dallas exactly. Okay, So

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: I've seen Lee Greenwood play his one hit literally seven

109
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: times since twenty twelve.

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: Actually, just play it again, play the song. It was epic.

111
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: I felt so bad for him because he was put

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: in a absolute lose lose situation when you.

113
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: Needed Fundsie to come save the day.

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, man, you need the Menhoco back.

115
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: Oh he played that bad boy. He played it as

116
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: loud and in as enthusiastic as he could, and still

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: it had no effect on people running around trying to

118
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: get their refund money back for that Hall of Fame

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,360

Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three. How about that for tying and

159
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: all back in, Lara, over ten fireworks in twenty twenty three.

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: Some guys that are gonna pop there. And then we're

161
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: also gonna honor the Declaration of Independence by making some

162
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: cults declarations. We're gonna declare what we're confident in going

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: into next season surrounding this Colts team and around the NFL.

164
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: So that's what we're up to this afternoon or this

165
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: morning here on the fourth of July. Give me your

166
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: favorite Fourth of July tradition, Lara. I know you're not

167
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: a huge July fourth person, but you have to have

168
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: something that you really admire.

169
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: About the day.

170
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: I we typically most Fourth of July is in the

171
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: last few years. Of the last few years, we have

172
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: spent out with our very good friends and they have

173
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: a huge Fourth of July party and it is an

174
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: absolute blast. It is like the bash of the Summer,

175
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: and that is always such a fun time because it

176
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: is one of those where it's oftentimes people who I

177
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: may not see any other point in the year. I mean,

178
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: you're talking there's two hundred people, you know, at this party,

179
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: and so it's a great time to see a lot

180
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: of people who you typically you know, don't get to

181
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: see otherwise. And everyone's just hanging out in the pool.

182
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: You know, you got drinks and you're you're out on

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 2: the water. It's out over on Geist, so it's you

184
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: got all the boats out there. Everyone's just excited. And

185
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: so that's always one of my favorite kind of Fourth

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: of July traditions that we have partaken in the last

187
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: few years. Obviously, they're not doing it this year. We'll

188
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: be up in Wisconsin doing that instead, and they're going

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: to take a year off from doing that. But that's

190
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: something that I always look forward to. It's just kind

191
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: of the gathering, you know, Like I am, I like

192
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: to be around. I don't know if you guys know

193
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: this about me at all. I'm quite extroverted, I do,

194
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: like right, I know, So anytime I could like be

195
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: around a lot of people socializing and hanging out and

196
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: all of that, I love that.

197
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 3: So JJ, did you know here's a fun fact for you.

198
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: John Adams believe that American independence should be celebrated on

199
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: July second, as that was the actual day the Continental

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 3: Congress voted for independence in seventeen seventy six, But it

201
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: wasn't until July fourth that they sat down and I

202
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: guess put pen to paper. But he was so annoyed

203
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: that Independence Day wasn't celebrated on July second, that history

204
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: says that Adams reportedly turned down invitations to July fourth

205
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: celebrations throughout his life.

206
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: That's a fascinating fact.

207
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: Talk about holding a grudge.

208
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 5: Do you want to know a more fascinating fact?

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Please?

210
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: So thinking about the fourth of July and traditions that

211
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: I like.

212
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: I'm a big baseball guy and I went to a

213
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: White Sox Royals game on July fourth, twenty eleven. I

214
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 4: will never forget this. Pitching for the Royals was Aaron Crowe,

215
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: who I covered at the University of Missouri.

216
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: He was a pitcher at Missou.

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: He wanted to be an all Star reliever for the Royals,

218
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: and the White Sox won the game on a walk

219
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: off bock.

220
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: Wow, Aaron.

221
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: I will never forget it. Aaron Crow is pitching, Adam

222
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 4: Dunn is at the plate, and Aaron Crow boxed in

223
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: the game winning run. Box in the game winning run.

224
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: I've never seen that before. I will probably never see

225
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 4: that again in years of watching baseball, and it was

226
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 4: a walk off bock on the Fourth of July. It's

227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 4: my favorite Fourth of July memory of all time.

228
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: So the firework guy, the pyrotechnic guys like we just won. Yep?

229
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: Wait, yeah, do we still like these off a walk

230
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: off box?

231
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: Does that count?

232
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: I mean there's fire fireworks.

233
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: Again?

234
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: Now that's my favorite part of Uh, that's my favorite

235
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: part of the Fourth of July. Huge firework guy, right,

236
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: huge firework guy. I'm a sucker for a great fireworks

237
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: show that is synced up to music. You guys all

238
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: know this about me. About sixteen thousand July fourth fireworks

239
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: displays happened around the country every year, according to the

240
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: American pyro Technics Association Layer you know the APA.

241
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh well, of course they're putting that out.

242
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: So the famed Macy's fireworks show in New York City

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: seventy five thousand fireworks shells.

244
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: Wait, I may they do a firework show in New

245
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: York City?

246
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did.

247
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: I had no clue. I mean, obviously Thanksgiving Day parade

248
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: and all that stuff in Times Square for New Year's Eve,

249
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: but I had no idea that.

250
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they blow him up in the river four Okay,

251
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 3: so seventy five thousand fireworks shells at the cost of

252
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: about six million dollars. That leads us in too, Colts

253
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: players in line to provide some fireworks in twenty twenty three, JJ,

254
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: give me some pop offensive fireworks in twenty twenty three.

255
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: Where is that coming from on this Colts team going

256
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: in the next season?

257
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: Is it a cop out to say Jonathan Taylor? Nope, okay,

258
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: because it's Jonathan Taylor. Like if he comes back looking

259
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 4: like the Jonathan Taylor of twenty twenty to twenty twenty

260
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: one with Anthony Richardson in the backfield fireworks, I mean,

261
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: like Jonathan Taylor his first two years in the league,

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: when you know things are going well. He was healthy,

263
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: the run scheme was where it needed to be, the

264
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: blockings where it needed to be. He averaged five point

265
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: three yards per attempt. You had two nighty yards on

266
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: five hundred and sixty four rushes, twenty nine rushing touchdowns.

267
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: I mean you then add in a mobile quarterback like

268
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one the Colts. You know, Carson Wentz. He

269
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: could do it a little bit, but they didn't run

270
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: a ton of the read option stuff. Usually that was

271
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: Carson handing it off or throwing kind of like a

272
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: quick bubble. You could do legitimate read options with Richardson

273
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 4: and Taylor, where you know Richardson's reading the d end.

274
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: If he crashes down, Richardson keeps it. If he stays home,

275
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: he gives it to Taylor. And I think this run offense,

276
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: if you run four or five of those a game,

277
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 4: those are going to generate a pretty decent chunk of

278
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 4: yards on the ground. And that's gonna really benefit Jonathan

279
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: Taylor because if you're a d end and you're like, okay,

280
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna you know, we're just gonna take away Richardson, Okay,

281
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: then Taylor's gonna get it. If you're going to try

282
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: to take away Taylor, then Richardson's going to get it.

283
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 4: And by the way, Anthony Richardson, at six foot four,

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty pounds, he can probably outrun or

285
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: truck your linebacker who's going to scrape down and try

286
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 4: to make a play on that. That to me, that

287
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: that aspect of it for Taylor, I'm just so excited

288
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: to see what he can do with a mobile quarterback

289
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: in Anthony Richardson.

290
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: Uh, you kind of are this is kind of previewing

291
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: something I have. I have JT down for something a

292
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: little bit later. Jjson. We're kind of on the same thought.

293
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: But in terms of offensive fireworks, I'm talking you know,

294
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: those explosive plays, deep threat opportunity, and it is Alec

295
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: Pierce for me. I think that you saw so many

296
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: you know, kind of glimpses of that last season with

297
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: what he's able to do and what he can be

298
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, downfield passing game, you know

299
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: obviously target in the end zone, red zone, all those things.

300
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: So that's it for me. I think that he can

301
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: take a huge leap in year two. He had significant

302
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: time of course over the you know mini camp OTAs

303
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: like you know, although he was somewhat limited early on,

304
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: he really started establishing a bit of a rapport with

305
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: both Gardner, Minshew and Anthony Richardson. And I think for Alec,

306
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: you know, having you know someone who you know both

307
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: or actually all of them all three with with Salm

308
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: and there too, all pretty young quarterbacks, one of them

309
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: more the most experienced, with Gardner being able to help

310
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: communicate Shane's offense to a guy who's eager to learn

311
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: and continue developing, of course under the tutelage as well

312
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: of Reggie Wayne. Those guys seem to really you know,

313
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: you saw Alec really pick up on a lot of

314
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: what Reggie was trying to instill in him, and the

315
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: benefits of what Reggie had gained through experience in his

316
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: career and how he overcame some of his ugly not

317
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: ugly struggles, early struggles, excuse me. And I think that

318
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: that will continue to be a great benefit to Alex Pierce.

319
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: He is someone who came into the offseason incredibly hungry,

320
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: and I think that this offense, this scheme with Jim

321
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: Bob Cooter, with Shane Sdiken, is really going to compliment

322
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: Alex's skillset.

323
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you.

324
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: Got Alec Pierce, you got Jonathan Taylor, two great answers.

325
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: I think Jonathan Taylor was was it for me in

326
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: terms of a guy that immediately came, you know, top

327
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: of mind there, And I agree with you, JJ, I

328
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: mean all the things that Jonathan Taylor can do in

329
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: the running game, and you brought this up and I

330
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: think it's so a spot on. I mean that that

331
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: duo is going to impact the passing game as well.

332
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: With Richardson and Taylor in the backfield at the same

333
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: time because of play action, that should really open up

334
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: some throwing windows for Richardson and kind of a tangent here.

335
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 3: That should be the main selling point for Jonathan Taylor

336
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: in his new contract, whether that comes this offseason or

337
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: next offseason. Obviously, you know Taylor in his camp, look

338
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: at Richardson, look at Jonathan Taylor. Taylor can be huge

339
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: for Richardson and really important for the development of a

340
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback or a young quarterback. But Taylor and Richardson

341
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: together should lighten the box, help keep defenses more disciplined.

342
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you're gonna see nearly as many blitzes

343
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: and stunts and line twists and things like that because

344
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: the offensive line struggled because they didn't have dynamic ability

345
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: behind them last year. But now they're gonna have two healthy,

346
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: dynamic pieces, and Richardson and Taylor arguably the two most

347
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: athletic players on the team sharing the same backfield for

348
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: next season. So I think two great answers right there,

349
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: Alec Pierce and Jonathan Taylor. L let's go defensive fireworks.

350
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: Who's providing the pop next year on defense.

351
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: Kenny more second alright, bounce back.

352
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: I I do. I think that we have seen just

353
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: in terms of his growth over the last twelve months.

354
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: I think there is so much of a Kenny has

355
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: come in just whise experienced and seasoned, and he has

356
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: just really started to embrace what his role can be

357
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: within this defense. He knows he's got to have a

358
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: bigger year. He was able to really he had a

359
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: maturity is the word I was going to. I really

360
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: think we have seen great maturity from what he went

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: through last season struggling a little bit to kind of

362
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: figure out his fit within this defensive scheme. I mean,

363
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: you're gonna get it right, You're gonna get it from

364
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: the guys up front. But you know, I was going back,

365
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: and we talked about this on last week's podcast about

366
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: the emphasis of the pass rush and the benefit that

367
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: you can have obviously in the secondary. But I just

368
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: think that, you know, Kenny is that guy who has

369
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: the ability to do a lot of different things for

370
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: this defense. He can take the ball away, he's an

371
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: outstanding tackler. I think that he can certainly be a

372
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: be that guy that you saw you know two and

373
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: three seasons ago to be a big force within this defense, because, yeah,

374
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: if Shaq Leonard's healthy, he's going to bring it for you.

375
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: Of course. I just think that with the inexperience that

376
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: you do have right now within that cornerback group, I

377
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: think that this is a prime opportunity for Kenny to

378
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: rise to the occasion and continue to be that difference

379
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: maker in this defense that you've known him to be

380
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: in the past.

381
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: And looking back on his offseason when when he spoke

382
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: to the media, when we had a chance to talk

383
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: to him one on one for interviews, Larry, he just

384
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 3: seemed to have a different mindset, He seemed to have

385
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: a different demeanor and and just.

386
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: He was determined.

387
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: I think that's that maturity to the last season behind him, absolutely,

388
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: and he's so highly motivated this year. And you know,

389
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: I think that you know, what he went through over

390
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: the last you know, two years and so is only

391
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: going to make him better. And I think that he

392
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: is embracing that all.

393
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: Right, j J.

394
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: What if I said for defensive fireworks next year, what

395
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: if I said, Samson Ebacom, how would you feel about it?

396
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: So I was actually kind of thinking about that because

397
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 4: if he kind of slides into that spot next to

398
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 4: DeForrest Buckner, and you know, look, if buck is getting

399
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: double teamed, he's gonna have opportunities. I think unique in

400
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: Ghakaway last year he had a good sack total, certainly,

401
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 4: but he didn't consistently pressure the quarterback. If you kind

402
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 4: of look at his total pressure numbers, I think if Ebicom,

403
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: if Ebicom just kind of sticks to all right, you know,

404
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get too far upfield. I'm just gonna

405
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, he's a guy who he has consistently pressured

406
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in the past, especially when he's been playing on

407
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 4: defensive lines that have had guys who have required quite

408
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 4: a bit of attention, you know, Joey Bosa or not

409
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 4: excuse me, Nick Bosa, Eric Armstead with San Francisco, Aaron

410
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 4: Donald with the La Rams. You know, now, coming to

411
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 4: a line where DeForest Buckner or Grover Stewart require a

412
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 4: lot of attention, I think he can be I don't

413
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 4: know if he's gonna be a you know, ten sack guy,

414
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 4: but I would be shocked if he got to the

415
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 4: end of the year and you're sort of like, yeah,

416
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: he had a good season. He got after the quarterback

417
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: and you know, maybe he doesn't get the sack, but

418
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 4: he produces a sack or he gets a drive ending pressure,

419
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 4: something along those lines where you get to the end

420
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 4: of the year you're like, man, he's just a really

421
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: solid player. The guy. And this isn't like I don't

422
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: have a specific guy, but I think one of the

423
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 4: young cornerbacks, at least one of them, is going to

424
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 4: have a really solid year, and the team leader in

425
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 4: interceptions is going to come from that group of Dallas Flowers,

426
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 4: Darius Rush, Juju Brentz, Jalen Jones, Darryl Baker Junior, whoever

427
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: it may be the team and I guess this could

428
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: probably work for a declaration too, where we're going to

429
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 4: get to you later in the pod, but the team

430
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 4: leader interception is going to come from one of those guys.

431
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: You know, in every great fireworks show, there's always like

432
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: two to three fireworks. There's a there's a stretch at

433
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: every fireworks show where there's like moments where you're like, man,

434
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 3: I've never seen that firework before, or man, that was loud,

435
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 3: or man, that was a look at the colors on

436
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: that bad boy. Give me a deceptive firework in twenty

437
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: twenty three. Where is that coming from all start? Because

438
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: kind of what I mean is like a guy that's

439
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: gonna come up huge for the Colts, but we're not

440
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: really thinking about him right now.

441
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: For me, that guy is Matt.

442
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 3: Gay because the Colts made it a they made it

443
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: a point to a dress kicker and free agency, and

444
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: as we all know, I mean, kicker is one of

445
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 3: the most important positions on the team because they directly

446
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: give you points when drives stall out or you need

447
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: points at the end of a half or the end

448
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: of a game. I mean, those are the moments that

449
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: decide game. So you look at it, Matt Gay from

450
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: twenty one to twenty two, he is the league's most

451
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: accurate kicker. That's why the Colts prioritized him and gave

452
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: him that healthy contract. He is sixty of sixty four

453
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 3: the last two years. That's almost ninety four percent. We

454
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: saw Richardson go through a learning curve in the red

455
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: zone during the spring, and Shane Siken talked about that

456
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the OTA's right, the next thing

457
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 3: for Richardson to master is the red zone. But if

458
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: you stall inside the red zone, your best friend is

459
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: the kicker and the kicking game, and that's Matt Gay.

460
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: He's been in so money the last couple of years.

461
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: And you look at the Bengals, you look at the Bills,

462
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: you look at the Chiefe.

463
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: You love Evan kick Pherson.

464
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: I love him.

465
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: I just love a good kicking game because you gotta

466
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 3: have you got to have a quarterback, you got to

467
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: have a good defense, but you also have great have

468
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: to have great special teams in order to go.

469
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I try like that these pinnacle levels like the Age

470
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: and that can't.

471
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: Accept him because you're gonna overlook that a lot. I

472
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 2: agree the one that I came up with, and I

473
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: had to think about it once. I had a greater

474
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: understanding of exactly kind of where you were going Matt.

475
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: This this might seem I might be going on a

476
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: limb here, but I'm gonna go with the rookie Evan Hole.

477
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: I think past catching ability as a running back in

478
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: compliment to Anthony Richardson and Gardner Minshew, I think he

479
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: could be a significant weapon, a sneaky weapon in a

480
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: Shane Stiken offense. JJ, what do you think about that?

481
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: I love it.

482
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 4: I mean he was the most productive pass catching running

483
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 4: back in college football last year coming out of Northwestern.

484
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: And you know Shane Stiken in twenty twenty when he

485
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: was justin Herbert's offensive coordinator, he told Herbert, your tailback

486
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 4: is the best is your best friend. If if you

487
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: can't read out a defense yet, or you know, you're

488
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 4: not sure of what you're seeing, dump it off to

489
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: the tailback. And I think that's going to be a

490
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 4: boon for Jonathan Taylor. But if Evan Hall earns his

491
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 4: way onto the field because he's a good pass protector,

492
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: he can catch the ball, that's absolutely a huge asset.

493
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: And I think he's a quarterback.

494
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: He's a little bit different than the guys you you know,

495
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: he's did different type of back than a J T

496
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: or a Dionn Jackson, you know, the guys you already

497
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: have kind of in that room right now.

498
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 4: Let me go out on a real limb here, because

499
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 4: I was going to say, Drew Ogletree.

500
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: Don't do.

501
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: Zach Moss was the other. I was like, I was

502
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: missing a back. You're missing Zach Moss. Sorry, that was

503
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: the other one. I was like, d yeah, that's different

504
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: than all of that combination. There you go. Sorry, to

505
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: jump in a brain there.

506
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 4: I was gonna say Drew Ogletree. But you know, I

507
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: think people who listen to this podcast are smart. They

508
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: know that Drew Ogletree. The Colts have been really high

509
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 4: on him. U you know, if he's back healthy, he

510
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: can earn a big role in the offense. So let

511
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: me go on on a big limb here. How about

512
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 4: Jake Witt?

513
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, yeah, that that is all right.

514
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 4: He's the he's the seventh round pick. He was the

515
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: last draft pick. Wait, were you going out.

516
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: On a limb with Ogle Tree because his name is Tree? Like?

517
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: Was that a pun that I just am picking up

518
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: on because they haven't had enough coffee yet?

519
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: Was that you're barking up the right tree?

520
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: Because you could have gone Jelownny Woods.

521
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 4: I know I could have gone Woods. I mean, whatever,

522
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: whatever it is, it's gonna stick.

523
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

524
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: The dad jokes are at an all time high. All right,

525
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: get going, go, go, go on your Jake wit bit.

526
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: Now we've lost control.

527
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 5: Look the the wildfires in Canada. You know, all those

528
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: trees parting.

529
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: Got my head down here, So okay, Jake Witt, I

530
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 4: don't I don't know if Jake Witt is going to

531
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 4: start this year, But when it comes to the Colts

532
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: needing offensive line depth, Jake Wit is such a raw prospect.

533
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: I just had this thought pop into my head of

534
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: I wonder if he could play interior. I wonder if, like,

535
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 4: you get to training camp and you're like, all right,

536
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 4: you know, we can't get him in at tackle and

537
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: Blake Freeland is you know, maybe he's playing well and

538
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: he's gonna be your swing tackle. What if you kicked

539
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 4: him inside and what if all of a sudden, Jake

540
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 4: Witt became an option at right guard. Could that be

541
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: a possibility.

542
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't know.

543
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 4: But if he comes in and you're like, man, this

544
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: guy can really play. He's really athletic, he's raw, but

545
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: he's coachable, Uh, maybe that's a possibility. I don't know

546
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: that that's me again, I'm I am like, I'm deep

547
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 4: into this one. But if you're looking for that sneaky firework,

548
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 4: we've never seen it before. We've literally never seen a

549
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 4: player like Jake Wit before with his background.

550
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

551
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 4: It's just something to keep in mind. I could be

552
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 4: completely wrong about this. You can get to the end

553
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 4: of training camp and be like, what a dope, what

554
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: a stupid thing to even bring up on a fourth

555
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: of July podcast, Or you're gonna but what's really gonna happen, guys,

556
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 4: is that if Jake Witt never even like touches Guard,

557
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: no one's gonna remember this.

558
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: But if he.

559
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 4: Gets into Guard, gonna I am going to remind you, guys,

560
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: every single time he gets an NFL snap that I

561
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 4: called it on the fourth of July podcast.

562
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be insufferable.

563
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna clip it out, keep receipts on everything.

564
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: Okay, One quick thing going back though to your mention

565
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: of Drew Ogletree, just for for reference, a little bit

566
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: of an insider thing for those outside. We're all trying to,

567
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: you know, kind of satiate that appetite for football right now,

568
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: Drew Ogletree, I don't know that that guy has missed

569
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: a day when the facility has been opened in terms

570
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: of just getting in work, being in the training room,

571
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: being in the weight room, like every time. Like I'll

572
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: be here on like a like a Friday mid afternoon

573
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: wrapping some stuff up, and you wander back and like

574
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: Drew is still here, Like this guy is putting in

575
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: absolutely every ounce of his energy and dedication to getting

576
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: back on that field. I I mean, I don't I

577
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: don't know that there's a guy that you're rooted harder

578
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: for than what he is doing right now. So I

579
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: can assure you, Colts fans, one of the most dedicated

580
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 2: guys that we have seen over the last six months.

581
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: This guy is a grinder. So hopefully you know come

582
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: Grand Park, which now we have the training camp schedule,

583
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: we have it out. We know that's you know, going

584
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: to bea July twenty six for the first practice. Hopefully

585
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: Drew was one of those guys who's out on the

586
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: field or at least getting close to being out there.

587
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was the star, he was the voice. He

588
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: was he was the main attraction at training camp last

589
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: year before he tore that ACL. Trying to get back

590
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: to that in a couple of weeks when the Colts

591
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: report for training camp up at Grand Park again, Colts

592
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: dot com slash camp for all the free dates on

593
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: which the Colts will practice before the preseason. Before we

594
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: get into the Colts declarations, Larry, you know this, Americans

595
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: typically eat a lot of hot dogs on the fourth

596
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: of July. Not you though, Americans typically eat one hundred

597
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: and fifty million hot dogs every Fourth of July. That

598
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: is enough to stretch from Washington, DC to Los Angeles

599
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: more than five times, according to the National hot Dog

600
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: and Sausage Council. You know the nhdsc.

601
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: JJ.

602
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: You gotta find a hot dog over in Scotland. How

603
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: difficult do you think that's gonna be for you on

604
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: the fourth of July?

605
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: Uhh? I bet I could find a hot dog. I

606
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: don't know how I would cook it, that'd be the issue.

607
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: I could probably go to a Tesco in Scotland and

608
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: they so my friend who's getting married is over there

609
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 4: and he sent me a photo of the tesco. Tesco

610
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 4: is like Kroger but in the UK, and he sent

611
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: me a photo of They're like frozen Shytown Deep Dish pizza,

612
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: which looks nothing like a deep Dish pizza. And I'm like,

613
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 4: I love this. This is like, this is like the

614
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: British take on it. I bet they have like a

615
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 4: British take on a hot dog. Maybe it tastes better,

616
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 4: I don't know, or maybe they just have like Nathan's.

617
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: Maybe Nathan's is international.

618
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: Who knows.

619
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: Let's call up Joey Chestnut.

620
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: We'll ask, well, that's it.

621
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean one hundred and fifty million hot dogs, Laya

622
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: is not contributing to that.

623
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: No, No, I'll go handle some cheeseburgers that like you

636
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: men's side, and then it's always like this eighty pound

637

Speaker 1: Definitely.

645
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: That's like a bucket list as a broadcaster for me.

646
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: Like if I could get the call up Tony Islands,

647
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: you know, dang, I would do that for a fourth

648
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: of July. I think it's fantastic.

649
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Love it.

650
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: My friend Melanie Collins has actually done the sideline reporting

651
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: for Nathan's for a couple of years. She's done that,

652
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,360

Speaker 2: sit down, Cam. Yeah, I don't know.

654
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: If you'd be so worried as the sideline reporter for that,

655
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: Like you're interviewing you just consumed four hundred hot dogs

656
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: that they're just gonna well, like.

657
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: Typically the most hazardous thing that you have worrying about,

658
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: like the game bath right, Like this is a completely

659
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: different level.

660
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's like sitting in a front row

661
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: of a Gallagher concert or something.

662
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, just like watermelon shooting at you.

Speaker 2: can do like two two cheeseburger, Like two double cheeseburgers.

666
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: I think, well, yeah, all right for Petty, like.

667
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 3: The most, the most, like I gotta be starving, but

668
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: the most hot dogs.

669
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I could eats three the most.

670
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: Are you going like a double wiener on a single?

671
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 3: I've got to have it all. If I'm gonna eat

672
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: a hot dog, I need a bun. I need mustard,

673
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: maybe a little uh little peppers and onion, you know,

674
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: or maybe it's some chili cheese, because I would I

675
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: would load it up and and and have all those

676
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: toppings just kind of rumbling in there. And as JJ said,

677
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: I got to make room for the for the light beer.

678
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: I gotta be dancing to some Tom Petty later in

679
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: the day on the fourth of July. What about you, JJ?

680
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: I mean, how many hot dogs could you house?

681
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: If you had to?

682
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: I could probably put back If they're char dogs, I

683
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 4: could put back like four. But if they're just like

684
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: you know, boiled or like over grilled.

685
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: Like do you like your hot dogs like really big

686
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: time cook like like black on the grill.

687
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: No, like a like a chart So a chart dog

688
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 4: is you know, it's kind of like grilled over charcoal.

689
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: So like that's this is again this is me coming

690
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: from Chicago and being like everyone uses the same terminology.

691
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: You know with dog you said, Charlotte, like really really

692
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: really black on the end, Like no, no.

693
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 4: No, no, it's more just like like there are some

694
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: like really good hot dog stands in Chicago that's just

695
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 4: like charred dogs and you can't explain it, just like

696
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 4: it's just they taste better. I do those, but like

697
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: your run of the Mill Ballpark, Frank, you know, thrown

698
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: on a gas grill and black and like Jeffrey Gorman.

699
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 5: Likes his steak, that that I can't do.

700
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you, all right, So the hot dog eating

701
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: contest that's probably already in the books as we sit

702
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: here and talk right now on this uh preview of

703
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: the fourth July podcast. All right, let's make some declarations.

704
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about Michael Scott.

705
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Okay, declare that's not what we're talking about here.

706
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: Okay, the Declaration of independent synonymous with the fourth of July.

707
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: All right, let's make some declarations about the Colts going

708
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: into the season. Well, I should say it doesn't have

709
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: to be about the cults. It could be about the NFL.

710
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: Just something, oh went, something you are very passionate about

711
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 3: and you can absolutely predict it happening Laira Overton.

712
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: This is your declaration, Okay, I've reviewed.

713
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 2: I previewed this when and JJ alluded to it earlier.

714
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor returns as the NFL rushing champ in twenty

715
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: twenty three. That's my declaration right there.

716
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: For two thousand yards for John Claire Jonathan H. Claire.

717
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: I didn't say it. I declared it.

718
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it for me. I do. That's I'm

719
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: going all in, taking the all.

720
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: Chips in taking the pressure off of Anthony Richardson in

721
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: year number one. Jonathan Taylor the best offensive weapon for

722
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: the Colts.

723
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: Well, because I think you're you're there's no doubt you're

724
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: going to get an improved offensive line. I think that

725
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: already you have seen that group, and I think the

726
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 2: continuity of that group they I mean, that entire unit

727
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: was healthy throughout the spring in the summer. I think

728
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: that is going to pay dividends. I think Tony Sperano

729
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: is going to do fantastic things with that group as well.

730
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: JT is going to be back in healthy. Of course,

731
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: last year injuries had so much to do with a

732
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: drop off in his numbers. He's coming back highly motivated.

733
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: It's a contract year. He has everything on the line

734
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: to play for both, you know, from a an individual standpoint,

735
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: and of course he's the ultimate team consummate, teammate, team guy.

736
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's it for me. I'm going all

737
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 2: in John number.

738
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: Twaylor leads the NFL in rushing for the second time

739
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: in three years. That is Larra Overton's declaration. JJ, what

740
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: are you declaring.

741
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 4: The Cults will have a top ten defense in twenty twenty?

742
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. Indeed.

743
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 4: Indeed, second second year under Gus Bradley, the guys who

744
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 4: are returning are going to play a little bit faster.

745
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: I think the turnovers tick up a little bit. I'm

746
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 4: not super worried about the youth at cornerback because I'm

747
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 4: confident in the pass rush. I think the depth on

748
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: the defensive line is really really good. I mean you're

749
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: looking at you know, Dio Dangbo at a Tommy why

750
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: At a bar A, a Tavan Bryan. You know, I

751
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 4: think there's some you know, Taekwon Lewis coming back. The

752
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 4: depth there is going to be really solid and really

753
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 4: important for you know, maintaining success among that group, which

754
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 4: I think will kind of be the engine of a

755
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: top ten defense. And plus Nate Ali by the way,

756
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 4: shout out, he is a really good defensive line coach.

757
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 4: Colts are really lucky to have him on their staff,

758
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 4: and I think he's going to get a lot out

759
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: of those guys and that will kind of drive the

760
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 4: top ten success of this defense.

761
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: All Right, two declarations right there, Jonathan Taylor leading the NFL,

762
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: the Colts boasting a top ten defense. From JJ Stangowitz,

763
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 3: I'm kind of going outside the box or outside of

764
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: Indianapolis on this one, kind of sort a little bit.

765
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 3: I'm declaring that the Colts and the Houston Texans will

766
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: be much better than the national people think.

767
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm declaring.

768
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen six and eleven, five and twelve

769
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: for the Texans. I mean I wouldn't be if they

770
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 3: beat that by a couple of games next season.

771
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't.

772
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: I mean, you got your solidified there at the head

773
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: coaching position now with Demico Ryans. I think he's gonna

774
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: put in a really good culture, really really quickly there

775
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 3: in Houston. I really like what they've done this offseason.

776
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously c J. Stroud comes in and anders

777
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 3: there absolutely and they got nowhere to go but up

778
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: on offense. I mean last year they were thirty first

779
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 3: in yards. But now they've got Devin Singletary to go

780
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: along with Damian Pierce in the backfield, Dalton Schultz a

781
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 3: tight end. Noah Brown also comes over from the Cowboys.

782
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're gonna, you know, really compete for

783
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: a playoff spot, but I think they're gonna be much

784
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: better quicker than than people think, which is pretty.

785
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: The last two years, you haven't really known what the

786
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 4: Texans are doing, Like what direction are they going in?

787
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 4: Now they have a clear direction and like for all

788
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 4: the reasons you just said, I think their offensive line

789
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: is pretty good. Lerman Tunsel is a really good player

790
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: at left tackle.

791
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: They got something else.

792
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 2: Feel like he's been in the league for like twenty years,

793
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: Like I just because I will always talk about him.

794
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because he's just in.

795
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: The division or twenty sixteen.

796
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it just seems like he's been around forever

797
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 2: to me.

798
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 4: But like you know, Kenyan Green was the first round

799
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 4: pick last year. You know, Titus Howard over there. Like,

800
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: They've got some guys and I think just you can

801
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: see that their arrow is now pointing up and you

802
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 4: can see where they're going and what they're going to do.

803
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 4: And I think that just baseline is going to help

804
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 4: them be a better football team this year.

805
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: They've got tang Dell, don't forget about John Metchi that

806
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: could give the Texans some really.

807
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Good, incredible stories.

808
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 4: So even after trading Brandon Cooks, their wide receiver group

809
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: is solid. It's it's definitely good enough for c J.

810
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 4: Stroud to step in and have some success.

811
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm declaring. Just like the Colts. I mean,

812
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna They're gonna go as far as the rookie

813
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 3: development of c J. Stroud takes him. But I think

814
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: the Texans are going to be a tough out on

815
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: a week to week basis next season, just like the

816
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 3: Colts in the National Football League. All Right, we got
