27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,960

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: the like stopper on my sink and it starts. It's

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,600

00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: going low, up mountains and down in battles. Gonna be

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: over the place today, as if that's any different any

36
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: other but matey, I'm starting with you first. The very

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: and I mean the very first offensive play for those

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans picked off by a guy who is playing

39
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: all Pro. We knew exactly what kind of day it was.

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: I looked around at people would say wow, this is

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna be fun today. But it started with Kenny Moore. Guys,

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: what did you think of the athletic play from number

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: two three to start that ball game? Are you? Are

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you asking me go ahead? Free for all? Let it

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: rip by the way. By the way, the sound effects

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: sounded like the Anville falling from the cliff on top

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: of coyote right there. Hey, that sounded like the Houston

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Texans game. It did. Boy, mel Blank would be proud

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: of you, Jeffrey for the Warner Brothers Looney tunes. Dr Doc,

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't do it bugs money, But mate, Tay, tell

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: me about that. You had to call that first play

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: an incredible one toe tapper. Kenny Moore, who I think

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: would be a a great quarterback in this league, be

54
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver in this league, and obviously a

55
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: great cornerback. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing he can't do. Plus,

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: he's unbelievable as a human being, right. I mean, today,

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: as we tape this named the Colts nominee for Walter

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Peyton Man of the Year for all the countless things

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: that he does with charitable work and community involvement. I mean,

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: he's just a top notch human being. And if he

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: doesn't make the Pro Bowl this year, I don't know

62
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: what the heck's going on, because I mean, he's got

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: four picks, seven passes defensed, almost eighty tackles, and he

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: never leaves the field. I know that, I know he's

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: a nickel corner, but the fact that he you know,

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: he's played ninety eight percent of the defensive snaps this

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: year for the Colts is unreal. And I think at

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: times he's the toughest defender the Colts have, which I

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: think is really saying something when you're talking about Darius

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Leonard and you know, DeForrest Buckner and Bobby o'karaka and

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But I drop in real

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: quick on that, Mattey, because I got a I got

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: a stat. Since twenty seventeen, Kenny Moore is one of

74
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: four players in the NFL to have ten or more

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: interceptions and fifteen or more tackles for a loss. He

76
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: is the only cornerback with those numbers. He got fourteen

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: picks in eighteen TFLs. So, like you said, he's a

78
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: tough guy at the line of skirmage and he can

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: cover too. Not many people can do that, and there

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: it is the first thank bomb today. I love it. No,

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: You're exactly right. I mean, he's as versatile as they

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: come in the league. And I think when the Colts

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: get into a pinch, and thankfully they're not right now,

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: but when they have been in the past, I'm okay

85
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: with putting Kenny Moore on the outside and having somebody

86
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: else come and play Nickel because I think he's just

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: as good on the outside. But that's that's a debate

88
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: for a different time. But you're talking about Jeffrey that

89
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: first play of the game. I mean, we're we're just

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: getting settled in, right. I mean, I'm still reading sponsors

91
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: for the opening kickoff. Lara just got done doing her

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: opening uh you know bit on the sideline, you know,

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: her opening scene setter, if you will, down from the field,

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Tyrod Taylor's rolling out

95
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and I mean it's like a library. I mean it's quiet.

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore picks off the pass and like no one

97
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: knows what to think. I mean, is it an interception?

98
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Is it ah? Did he stay in bounds? Nobody knows

99
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: where the officials. I mean it was just incredibly silent

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: and the Colt set the tone from the get go

101
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: on that point may take very indicative of how the

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: game went. One of the most important questions that remains

103
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: unanswered about that play is the celebration in the end zone.

104
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: Lara Overton, what was that from? Kenny Moore? Did the dance?

105
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: The dance? What am I? I mean? I love the dance,

106
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: but it's got to be called something because all his

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: teammates were doing it. There was a little bit. I

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: think it's called the Lightning in the Bottle. That's what

109
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: it's called. I'm serious, No, it's just that's Kenny's nickname.

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm coining because I don't think that

111
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: that was well choreograph. I think that was just Kenny

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: going wild in the end. I saw them doing a

113
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: similar dance on I don't remember if it was Stally's Instagram,

114
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: someone's instagram. Kenny Moore doing that dance in the locker room,

115
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: I think this week, yeah, there's there's Yeah, I don't

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that there was any particular choreography to that.

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: We'll ask Kenny when the players are back in the

118
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: building next week. But one of the things to touch on,

119
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: you know what Matt was explaining there is I asked

120
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: frank Reich, Okay, we know all of the stats on

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, we know that he's mister lightning in a bottle.

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: But Zaire Franklin told me a few weeks ago that

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: he considers Kenny Moore the most physical guy on the

124
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: field when he is out there as part of this defense.

125
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: And I think that says a lot coming from that

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: group of linebackers that you have with Zaire Darius. Bobby

127
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: of course like that group to say that about their corner.

128
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: And when I was asking frank Reich about where this

129
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: defense feels the impact of Kenny Moore than most, he

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: explained that that compliment from Zaire comes from the fact

131
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: that Kenny is able to put himself in such great

132
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: position in multiple different facets within that defense. He's able

133
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to be so well utilized in all of the different

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: capacities that he needs to be. So not only is

135
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: he putting himself in great positions to make those plays,

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: he's also well covering spots that creates the opportunities for

137
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the defense when they're making great plays

138
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: as well. When you see you know Darius, you know

139
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: with the force swumbles and the stuff that he's able

140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: to do too likely because you know, Kenny has someone

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: else covered. He's doing his job well to create the

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: impact for everyone else in that deep I want to

143
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Kenny Moore being the Walter

144
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Payton Man of the Year nominee for the Colts too,

145
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: because this is something that he is such a good

146
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: represent representative of the Indianapolis Colts in the sense that

147
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: everything he does in the community is so genuine and

148
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: when Lara, you and I talked with you know, Chris Ballard,

149
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: frank Rxyer Franklin about this, and they all use that

150
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: word genuine and like Kenny doesn't authentic what he doesn't

151
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: do any of this for the cameras. He doesn't do

152
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: it because he wants the recognition. He does it because

153
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: he genuinely wants to help people and is a relationship

154
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: with the Garvey family. We all know the Mighty Mason story.

155
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: It's just so incredible and I was thinking about it

156
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: this morning when you know, we we announced that Kenny's

157
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: our Walter Payton Man of the Year. And I got

158
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to know Jared Payton pretty well when I was in Chicago.

159
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Nice and I just think about how much this award

160
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: still means to the Peyton family and how how honored

161
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: they are every year to give this award to someone

162
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: who makes such an impact in the community. I can

163
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: think of no one better to get this award than

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore. The second, I mean to carry on the

165
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: legacy of being great on the field, great off the

166
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: field that was set by Walter Payton. I really can

167
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: think of no one better than Kenymore. The second absolutely

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: may take tough question time because we are on that

169
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: bye week right now, and I open it up for

170
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the room. You can have one defensive player of the Year.

171
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Who is it is? It has to be Darius Leonard

172
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: or possibly somebody else with the way that this defense

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: is Hume and obviously coming off a shutout, who is it?

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year for the Colts? Just the Colts, Yes, sir,

175
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: M Yeah, I mean it's it's hard. I mean, there's

176
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: so many good guys. Like we talked about me, there's

177
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: a good there's a lot of nominee. We gotta take

178
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: him out and see what the production is and put

179
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: him back in. That's how we're going to find this out.

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: And it's got to be that Darius Leonard in my eyes, Guys,

181
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I opened it up to everyone. I would I would

182
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: if I had. If I had to pick somebody, I

183
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: would go with Darius Leonard just because of what he

184
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: means for the emotional you know, the emotional impact that

185
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: he has, the juice that he brings. I mean, it

186
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: just seems like it's a different when he's been out

187
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: in the past, and he hasn't been out this year,

188
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: but in the past when he's been out, it just

189
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: seems like they play a little bit quicker when he's

190
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: in the ball game, right. I mean, there's just an

191
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: emotional element to Darius Leonard and his presence on the field.

192
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: And I know he's not playing, you know, at one

193
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: hundred percent this year with the ankle, and I think

194
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: that's where the bye week this week can really help him.

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, him and Buckner and Quitton Nels

196
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: on the on the offensive side. But I think if

197
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: you don't have to me most valuable player is if

198
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you don't have him on your team or your unit,

199
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: where would you be. And I just don't think this

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: all this defense would be nearly as productive and they

201
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: would and be putting up the numbers from a takeaway

202
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: standpoint without Darius Leonard and his instinctual ability to punch

203
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: the ball out. I mean, whenever there's a play to

204
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: be made and clutch and crunch and clutch time, there's

205
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard. So to me, if you don't have them,

206
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: this would be a completely different defense. That being said,

207
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: I think you can say the same thing without divorce Bucker.

208
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: He's doing things that don't show up in the box

209
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: score by eating up double teams and putting pressure up front,

210
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, guys like he and Grover Stewart. So it's

211
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: it's not his I think known or commonly known among

212
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: the fan base because they're not watching defensive tackle every

213
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: single play. And that's not a shot in anybody. It's

214
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: just it's not a glory position like linebacker when you're

215
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: getting tackles and strips and and creating fumbles and stuff

216
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: like that. So I think it's it's My first poll

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: would be Darius Leonard. But then just DeForrest Buckner for

218
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: rolling little things that he does behind the scenes if

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: you will that don't that aren't going to show up

220
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: in a box score for fans. To Lara is Darius

221
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Leonard Darius Leonard without divorce Buckner in there. Well, I

222
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: think so because Darius Leonard was Darius Leonard before Deforreced

223
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Kuckner got here. So I mean, I mean that's not

224
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: to disqualify anything about but I mean Darius has been

225
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: doing this since his rookie year. He was a defensive

226
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year before DeForrest Buckner was part of

227
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: this defensive line. Now it is Darius going to have

228
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: more consistent impact and greater longevity and all of those things. Yes,

229
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: because of Deforced Buckner. But you know, I think that

230
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: those two are a very good compliment to each other.

231
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: And then I think you can, you know, talk about

232
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: those two in terms of your you know, defensive player

233
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: of the year within this roster, but going in a

234
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: different direction in terms of my like rising star of

235
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: the defense. Like I don't want to say like most

236
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: improved because that kind of lends itself to saying like

237
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: he had a down year previously. But someone to me

238
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: who has really emerged in this defense this year with

239
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: the you know, we talked about a lot going into

240
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: the season, losing Deniko Autrey, you losing justin Houston. I

241
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: have been so impressed with Aquitine Mohammed this season, and

242
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: he is. He is my right defensive rising star within

243
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: especially like that very crowded defensive line room of guys

244
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: who deserve a heck of a lot of credit, like

245
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: the forced Buckner and Grower Stewart and you know Quiddy

246
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: is coming on and all those things. But I mean,

247
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: he had two sacks, right if he's at five on

248
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: the year, five on the art seas, I like that.

249
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: You go to JJ for that, except I don't have

250
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: my stuff together over here, got my notes over here,

251
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: and he's like, JJA, how many of that? Yeah? Five

252
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: four games to go. And one thing that I've learned

253
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot about in watching Alquitine Mohammed, and we heard

254
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: the guys talk about his motive that he brings in practice,

255
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: and what I saw on his second sack of the

256
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: day against Houston, Now, a lot of that pressure upfront

257
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: was created by Komoco Terrey. So some of the credit

258
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: on that sack, really a little bit goes to Kumoko

259
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: for making that even possible. But it was his second

260
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: effort in pursuit of Tyra Taylor that allowed that to happen.

261
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: And man, we have seen his speed, We have seen

262
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: those flashes from Alcity Mohammed. I'm really excited about what

263
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: he brings, in particular for this stretch of games going forward,

264
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: when you were going to have to get consistent quarterback

265
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: pressure going up against the guys who you have in

266
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: this final four game stretch the regular season. Something I

267
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: always think about here, just to kind of tie it

268
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: back in, is Matty Berfluss always says for his defense

269
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to work, you need three players playing at a high level.

270
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: The three technique DeForrest Buckner, the will linebacker Darius Leonard,

271
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: and your slot corner kennymore of the second. You got

272
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: all three of those guys playing at a high level,

273
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: especially as things have kind of gone on during this season.

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: You could pick any one of those guys as your

275
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: defensive MVP for this team, and you changes if they're

276
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: not in the lastly, you would be right another guy

277
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: I want to highlight those a rising star. How about Rock?

278
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: You've seen Rock has had a really solid year. You

279
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: know he's not getting a ton of interceptions or whatever,

280
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: but as a cover corner who's not committing penalties, he's

281
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: doing a solid job. I think you could throw Isaiah

282
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: Rogers in there as well as someone who is coming

283
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: on strong this year too. That gives you a lot

284
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: of confidence not only going forward this season but into

285
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two with the way those two guys are

286
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: playing this season. Okay, I was okay really quickly, JJ

287
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: and I were just shooting up, you know, stuff at

288
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: his desk yesterday, and this guy she has almost caught

289
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: me there. So we were just chatting and I was like, man,

290
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: take a look back. You know that twenty twenty draft class.

291
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: We had, of course a lot of conversations early on

292
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: about you know, JT and Pitt and you know, all

293
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: of those you know, the much deserve credit those guys get.

294
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: But then looking at the rest of that, like Isaiah

295
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Rogers coming through and being you know, consistent in year two,

296
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Julian Blackman is going to be a guy. You know.

297
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: This injury of course devastating for this season, but you know,

298
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: looking around at some of those later picks that you

299
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of hit on in twenty twenty, I think that's

300
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: that class to me, is going to really I think

301
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: paid dividends for you as you kind of look to

302
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: who the growth and the development of those guys within

303
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: this system. That's Larah Overton, JJ Stankovitz is here, and

304
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: of course the voice of the coach, Matt Taylor. I'd

305
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: love to open this up and get your your take

306
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: on this one. We saw what happened versus Tampa Bay, okay,

307
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: and we saw what Bruce arians said after Tampa Bay. Hey,

308
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: we're the best running defense in the league. Go ahead,

309
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: We'll put our guys up against yours and we'll shut

310
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: you down. So may Tampa gonna start with you? The

311
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Texans have game film on the Bucks as well as

312
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: the Colts, okay, And here's how you beat them. You

313
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: stack the box. However you did it, you have five,

314
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: you bring a sinc guy down, whatever they're talking about.

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: And we ran roughshod on those tight on those Texans

316
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: this year. How can it change from one week to

317
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: the next, and why isn't a team in your opinion

318
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: going back to what worked against a high volume rushing

319
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: team led by Jonathan Taylor, are you equating the Houston

320
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Texans to the Tampa Bay bucking I'm not not even close,

321
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: and not even no, no, not even close. I'm not.

322
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying scheme wise, bodies wise, you know,

323
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: putting people in position to I want to get some

324
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: intake on that because we saw Jonathan Taylor with a

325
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: boatload of carries this game. We saw that it worked.

326
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: And I said it before in the pregame show, guys,

327
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: I love running the football. When we get to the

328
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: cold weather, we could be on the road as a

329
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: wildcard team playing in that you know, that sleet, in

330
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: that rain that we saw you know, in Buffalo not

331
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: too many nights ago. So I just want you to

332
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: take on that well. I mean, you know, it was

333
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: it was interesting to see how the Texans started the

334
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: game because you're right, they were loading the box and

335
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: they were blitzing, and the Colts were running into heavy fronts,

336
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: eight man boxes, just like they did in the first

337
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: quarter against Tampa Bay. The difference is, I mean, there's

338
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: a big difference between the scheme and the xes and

339
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: o's and the Jimmy's and the Joe's. I mean, that's

340
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: the difference right there. Tampa Tampa Bay's got the Jimmy's

341
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: and the Texans got the Joe's or the Joe blows right.

342
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have guys like Vita Vea or

343
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: William Golston I mean they have I meant no disrespect

344
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: to Roy excuse me, Roy Lopez, but I mean he's

345
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: not William Golston or Vita Vea. Okay, I mean were

346
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: the Dominicans sue really really interesting guys that are trying

347
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: to duplicate what they did the week before against Tampa Bay.

348
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's funny because the fan base

349
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: is saying, see, the Colts are cramming the ball into

350
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: eight man boxes one week, where they were shy about

351
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: doing that the week before. And you know, you lost

352
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: one game and you won the week after. What's the deal?

353
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: And you know the Colts again, I know the Texans

354
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: were thirty first and stopping the run, but they weren't

355
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: having much success running the ball. Early in that game,

356
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: they were having a reasonable amount of success just because

357
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: their offensive line got the push and Jonathan Taylor's Jonathan

358
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: Taylor but had again, going back to the discussion we

359
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: had last week, had the Colts ran the ball twenty

360
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: five times with Jonathan Taylor against Tampa Bay, they probably

361
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: lose that game by twenty twenty five points because it

362
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to work, and the Colts were able

363
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: to kind of stick with the run against Houston and

364
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: be patient with that because quite frankly, Houston's offense is

365
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: not very good and the Colts defensive or the Colts

366
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: the opportunity to stay patient with the run, and eventually,

367
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: as Frank Reich said on Monday and on Sunday after

368
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: the game, you know, the offense just over time throughout

369
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: the course of that game wore them down and we're

370
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: able to kind of get the chunkyards on, you know,

371
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: and with the ground game. So it's one of those

372
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: things where you know, the fan base is always gonna

373
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: nitpick its stuff. I mean every fan base does this.

374
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: I understand like some you know, you win the game,

375
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: but to some you don't win the game by enough,

376
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: or you don't do it flash enough. I get it.

377
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: I totally understand where people are coming from. But at

378
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, going back to the talk

379
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: we had last week, you know, the the Buffalo Bills

380
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: were number three the week before and the Colts ran

381
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: all over them, and then they came back and played

382
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: the number one rushing defense. I'm just telling you there

383
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: was a big difference between number three and number one.

384
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look what the Patriots did last night against

385
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: that rushing its defense by Buffalo. I mean they ran

386
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: what they threw the ball three times and still won

387
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: the ball game, right, So you just weren't gonna be

388
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: able to run the ball against Tampa Bay like you

389
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: wanted to, and you weren't going to be able to

390
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: stay patient enough with it to win that game two

391
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago like you did on Sunday against the Houston Jections.

392
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be fascinating going forward to

393
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: see just how much of a copycat league it is.

394
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: You know, right, what's Bill Belichick going to do? You know,

395
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: a week from this upcoming Saturday, and we got to

396
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: get into that. We gotta get into that, guys, we

397
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: have to eat. He takes away their number one, you know,

398
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the number one offensive weapon for an opponent, He'll take

399
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: him away. So I'm going to present that question after

400
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: mate's done, is what are we looking like when New

401
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: England comes in here? Go ahead, matey, it's gonna be

402
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: takeaway twenty eight and take away number eleven and then

403
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: make you play left handed. So who can step up?

404
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: It's got to be everybody else, It's got to be Pascal,

405
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: and I think, honestly guys. The guy that has the

406
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: ability to kind of compensate for the game plan and

407
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: the cults are going to see inevitably from the Patriots

408
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: is t Y Hilton. Yeah, t Y Hilton can go

409
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: back to being the guy because I think obviously Gilmore

410
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: and Jackson, they're going to be focused on number eleven.

411
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: Gilmar's mate, Gilmar's in Carolina, got you there, you go.

412
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: I meant to say Jackson first, anyways, But at any rate,

413
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's one of those things where let's go

414
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton and I think it's everybody else, Zach Pascal,

415
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: Kylan Granson, you know, who's slowly but surely coming on

416
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: here a little bit more of a focal point in

417
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the offense. Obviously that yeah, I wasn't say that he

418
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: hindes here, Yeah, exactly. So you know, No. Twenty eight,

419
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: no number eleven, that's going to be the game plan

420
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: from the Patriots. One of the things, actually two of

421
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: the things I should say that I noticed too, is

422
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: in that game against Houston, we didn't even really mention

423
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: the fact, and I mean that's in a good way

424
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: that they didn't have Ryan Kelly because he was in

425
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: COVID protocol because Danny Pinter played incredibly well. And this

426
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: goes back to our conversation about the twenty twenty draft classes.

427
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: Some of those guys you were able to get late.

428
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: I think that Danny Pinter deserves a heck of a

429
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of credit for what he did stepping in for

430
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl center in Ryan Kelly having no time

431
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: during the week because Ryan Kelly's positive test came back

432
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday. It's not like you had a whole week

433
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: where Danny was able to work his way in with Carson.

434
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: So I would I just Danny Pinter to me, gets

435
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: a game ball for the way he stepped up in

436
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: that and then the other thing, and then I went

437
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: JJ away in um excuse me. Quentin Nelson registered nearly

438
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: fifteen miles, fourteen point eight miles per I was losing

439
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: my mind. He was beating he was beating dbs down

440
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: the field. This massive human was just trucking people over

441
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: fourteen point eight miles. Prower and you guys, he had

442
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: beautiful form. I mean, drive was elite. I was like

443
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Lara's ready to put him in the four byway and

444
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't even I mean, if there were a big

445
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: man four by one. I think that Grover Stewart's leading

446
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: me off. Quentin Nelson is my A. Yeah, we gotta

447
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: do That's what we gotta do. We gotta figure out

448
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: who the big man four by one hundred relay is

449
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: going to be started up. Man's gonna be on all right.

450
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I want to I just want to talk about talking

451
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: about Danny Pinter. The Colts this year on their offensive

452
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: line have not had the kind of continuity that what

453
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: was the twenty eighteen to those nineteen where like no

454
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: one missed a game, Right, that's really rare. Every season

455
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys go down on your offensive line

456
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: and Matt pryor really good filling, Danny Pinter now really

457
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: good filling, Chris Reid, really good filling. This is a

458
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: testament to the Colts front office for finding these guys,

459
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: for drafting Danny Pinter, for trading for Matt pryor for

460
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: signing Chris Reid. It is a testament to the players,

461
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: and it is a testament to Chris Strasser and Kevin

462
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Maway for getting those guys ready, because that is hard

463
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: to do. When you just said, Lara, we barely noticed

464
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Danny Pinter against the Texans. When you go back and

465
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: you watch it, you notice him because he played well,

466
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: But during the game you're not thinking man is getting

467
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: beat on this play. That is so impressive. Teams look

468
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: at the Baltimore Ravens. They've had a bunch of injuries

469
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: on their offensive line that it's tough to sustain. That

470
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: what the Cults are doing with their offensive line where

471
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: there you have three guys filling in and filling it

472
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: at a high level, especially for last year with what

473
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: happened to the Colts offensive line towards the end of

474
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: the year. Major credit to this entire organization for legitimately,

475
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: when when people say next man up, you're always kind

476
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: of like our own right there we go. The Colts

477
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: have actually done it with next man up at three

478
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: different positions on their offensive line. That is incredibly impressive.

479
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: In my opinion, the most underrated offseason move was the

480
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: addition of Kevin Malai in that offensive line, or I

481
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: would say Chris Reid in my well, I'm just kind

482
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: of saying like like, like, you know, kind of as

483
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: a coaching offseason addition, because of what I have heard

484
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: guys say about what mali has added to their game.

485
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: It is incredible to listen. It's also pretty easy to

486
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: draw a straight line from hiring a Hall of Fame

487
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: center to Danny Pinter stepping in on about the twenty

488
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: four hours notice and having a really good game. That

489
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: is a that is a straight line right there between

490
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Mahi and Danny Pinter having a good game. Chirp, chirp,

491
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Danny Pinter. How about that? Yeah? What an athlete right there, matey.

492
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Voice of the Colts is here. JJ Stankovitz, Colts dot

493
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: Com Senior writer and of course are all. Everything is back,

494
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: and she is saulty, and I love it and I

495
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: haven't been cussed out. Oh I was cussed out earlier

496
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: before the show. I sorry about that. There was one,

497
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: but I thought, yeah, I get a couple of day

498
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: from you and I they're well earned. I mean, I mean,

499
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, she usually even like ten I am, I

500
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: usually try to save those little for like after lun Guys,

501
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: I gotta ask this now, with this four game stretch,

502
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: maytay vital to win all four? I know it's a

503
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: silly question. We'll say what you will, but talking with

504
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: but you know, talking with Buffalo losing that one in

505
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: the wildcar mix and New England running away with the eat.

506
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: You know in that division? Where are we on this thing?

507
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Is there a wiggle room from here on out? Guys?

508
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: And I know we're depending on other teams, but to

509
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: win out, you're gonna solidify it. Okay, one loss? What

510
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: does that mean? JJ I start with you. Look, if

511
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: you win out, you might win the division first and foremost.

512
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: So that is where the Colts stand. They want to

513
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: win out because look they need help. But if they

514
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: win out and and the Titans go two and three

515
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: down the stretch with games against the Jaguars, Steelers, forty

516
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: nine Ers, Dolphins, and Texans, Colts win the division. So

517
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: you want to win out. The Colts do have some

518
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: wiggle room though, because they have they have a very

519
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: good record in the AFC. And it's kind of like

520
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: we were talking about before the Buffalo Tampa stretch where

521
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: if gun to your head, you're told, no matter what,

522
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: you're going one and one in that stretch, you'd rather

523
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: beat Buffalo and lose to Tampa. So same thing in

524
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: this stretch, you'd rather beat New England and lose to

525
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Arizona if you have to go one and one, because

526
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: that helps your AFC record, which is a big tie

527
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: breaker when it comes to teams like the Bills and

528
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Chargers who are going to be

529
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: Those are the teams the Cults are competing with right

530
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: now for a playoffs spot. Are those three teams. The

531
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: rest of the the AFC is beneath the Colts and

532
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: that guess, the Steelers. So you want to make sure

533
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: that you have the best AFC record possible. I think

534
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: there is a plausible scenario in which the Colts go

535
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: two and two and still make the playoffs. It is

536
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: not likely, it is plausible. You don't like, you don't

537
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: sound it. You don't want to think about it's a

538
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: lot of sweating. You don't want to think about it.

539
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: But look, I mean New England and Arizona might be

540
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the NFL this season. Throw

541
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Tampa in there. You got probably your top three. New England,

542
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: Arizona Tampa are your top three, and the Colts are

543
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: playing all three of them in the span of what

544
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: four games, So you you zoom out a little bit.

545
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: If you go one and two against those three teams,

546
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: you're in a really good place. That also proves you

547
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: are one of the best, probably five or six teams

548
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I'm looking at this playoff picture right here.

549
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: Of course, So New England currently first in the AFC

550
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: at nine and four. Then it's Tennessee who is struggling

551
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: with injuries and they're on a bit of a slide.

552
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Obviously there's still a team that can find ways to

553
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: get it done. But just behind them, we do not

554
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: know who the Baltimore Ravens are, Like, I think that

555
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: is probably one of, to me, the biggest jekyl and

556
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: hide teams that you have. I'm gonna be honest, Layer,

557
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: I think we know they're probably gonna win that division,

558
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: but they are they are ravaged by injuries, and at

559
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: some point it's it's going to catch up with you,

560
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: and it's caught up with them, and then you have

561
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: freeze out. Yeah. Yeah. Then you have Kansas City at

562
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: eight and four, the Chargers, the Bengals, the Bills, the Steelers,

563
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: and then you get to Indianapolis and I don't I

564
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: don't really trust the Chargers or the Bengals at this

565
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: point because of you know, how they have been so

566
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: inconsistent at certain points in games. I think that this

567
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: is a division or this not in a division, but

568
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: this playoff scenario is going to get very muddy. Is

569
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of movement in the next

570
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: two to three leagues. Here's why. Here's why that game

571
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: against New England is so important for the Colts to win.

572
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: The Bengals have a five and three record in the conference,

573
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers have a five and three record in the conference.

574
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: The Colts don't play either of those teams. That would

575
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: then become the tiebreaker, I believe would be the conference record.

576
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: The Cults are six and three in the AFC. So

577
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: if you were able to beat New England, you probably are.

578
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: You're not guaranteeing it because you still have to beat

579
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: the Raiders and Jaguars, but you are. You are in

580
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the driver's seat to have the tiebreaker then over the Bengals,

581
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and then the Bills. By virtue of beating

582
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: the Bills, right, you'd have the tiebreaker over all those

583
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: three teams. May even outside of all of that, outside

584
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: and that, it matters to beat the Patriots because you've

585
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: got to prove that you can consistently beat good teams. Yeah,

586
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: you beat the Bills and that is great, but you

587
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: also have these situations, and Frank Reich has been very

588
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: candid about games in which we've had double digit leads

589
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: that have evaporated. You know, you go back to Baltimore,

590
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: you go back to the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium,

591
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay game at Lucas Oil Stadium, home games,

592
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: home games in which you have built those leads and

593
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: not been able to sustain them. So to me, yes,

594
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: all of the playoffs and this and that and who

595
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: be two and where you are, Yes, that matters. But

596
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: to me, the biggest reason this game matters as you

597
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: have got to prove that you are a contender who

598
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: can beat damn good football it at home. I totally agree. Mate.

599
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: You got the Patriots coming up, you got the Cardinals

600
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: coming up, You get the Raiders coming up, you got

601
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville coming up. What say you on this team? JJ?

602
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: Put it out there. Hey, two and two could find

603
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: a backdoorway into the playoffs. Three and one you're looking

604
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: better and obviously running the table, but we are facing

605
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, a healthy Kyler Murray coming up. Obviously, cars

606
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: car your guy over there. Mate, we know what this

607
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: You know what young Mac is doing. In New England

608
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: and the running game. We saw it last night and

609
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: the Monday. What say you on this last four game stretch? Yeah,

610
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: I think you need to get to ten and seven.

611
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: I think you at least need to get to ten

612
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: and seven. I think ten and seven gets you win.

613
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: And something that JJ said that I really agree with.

614
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't have any faith in the Titans. And actually

615
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: after that game on Sunday in Houston when the Colts,

616
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts won thirty one to nothing, and

617
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: it looks pretty you get the goose egg and thirty

618
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: one points, and you've been over thirty points and seven

619
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: in the last eight games and all that, But I

620
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: mean that game should have been fifty five to nothing,

621
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: sixty three to nothing. I mean, it could have been

622
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: whatever the Colts wanted the score to be. I have

623
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: no idea how two weeks ago that Houston team that

624
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: we saw two days ago beat the Titans. I have

625
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: no idea Nashville, right That tells me all I really

626
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: need to know about the Titans. I don't have any

627
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: confidence in them down the stretch, to be honest with you,

628
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: And it's funny we've been saying this all season long,

629
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: It's like, when is this slide going to happen for Tennessee.

630
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: In the middle portion of the season, they just kept

631
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: winning playoff game after playoff game after playoff game in

632
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: terms of teams that made the postseason last year, and

633
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: their resume was so impressive. And now are starting to

634
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: see them come back to reality a little bit. Obviously

635
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: with the injury bug and no Derrick Henry. I just

636
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: don't have any faith in Tennessee. And I think JJ's right.

637
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: If the Colts go three and one, I think there's

638
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: an outside chance. Obviously four and ohs better, but I

639
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: still think there's an outside chance the Colts can make

640
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: an interesting in the AFC South. But there's so much

641
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 1: parody in this conference. That's why I think you need

642
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: to at least get to ten and seven for a

643
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: wildcard spot. Because Cincinnati is so up and down, Pittsburgh

644
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: is so up and down. You never know what you're

645
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: going to get from Cleveland. I mean it's like the

646
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: AFC is like Forrest gump Man in a box of chocolates,

647
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: Like week the week, you have no idea what to expect, right,

648
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like one week one week, the Denver Broncos

649
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: looked like they should be the top seed in the conference,

650
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: and then the next week they're you know, they've got

651
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: a potential this week to lose to the Lions, and

652
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. This is this is this

653
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: is what makes it fun though. I mean, this is

654
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: why we're fans, this is why the NFL is the

655
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: best thing going. It's the best reality TV can watch, because,

656
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first time in nineteen years

657
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: that every team in the AFC has at least four

658
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: losses through Week number thirteen. I mean, all the division

659
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: winners as of right now or leaders have at least

660
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: four losses. I think there's thirteen teams in the conference

661
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: that have at least six wins. And this is sort

662
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: of right on part with what we saw last year

663
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, I mean, the seven teams that

664
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: made the postseason last year in the AFC all had

665
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: eleven win So there's not a lot of layups in

666
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: this conference. And I just don't trust any of the

667
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: teams that the Cults are competing with, even the Raiders,

668
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: right the Raiders lost a really bad game to the

669
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: Washington football team on Sunday. I just don't trust any

670
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: of these teams to sort of just disappear and fall

671
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: off a cliff, like one week they might look good,

672
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: another week they might look bad. But there's still four

673
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 1: games left, and I think all these teams are going

674
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: to be jackal and hide the rest of the way.

675
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: That's why if the Colts can get on a roll,

676
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about any of this junk

677
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: and analytics and all this stuff. They can just control

678
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: their own desk. Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait,

679
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: because they say you just you know it's junk in analytics.

680
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: I was about to make one point about analytics here.

681
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: So DVA a stat that the Colts like that. We

682
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: like that I like on football outsiders. To me, it's

683
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: the truest way to tell how good a team actually is.

684
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts are eighth in DVOA. The Tennessee Titans

685
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: are twenty second. The Tennessee Titans are closer in dvaway

686
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans than they are

687
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: to the Indianapolis Colts. Do you know that there's Bob

688
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: It's at a truck stop right now, who's listening to

689
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: his pod. He's trying to figure out what V. I'm

690
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna tell Bob at the truck stop that that this

691
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: is telling you, telling me and telling us that the

692
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are closer to being the Jaguars and Texans

693
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: than they are the Indianapolis Colts because DA actually stand

694
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: like I mean, this is like the the defense adjusted

695
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: value over average. Okay, I'm a I'm a big advanced

696
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: stats guy. That's who I am. That's what I'm bringing

697
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: to this podcast. It's just telling you it's a baseball

698
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: angle of listening. Read I read, Yeah, I read Moneyball

699
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: when I was about fourteen that it changed my life.

700
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I read the first four pages and

701
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: if we went to sleep, we're bringing watch the movie

702
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: money voices in the podcast Watch a movie. Na no, no,

703
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I no. Even Brad Pitt couldn't hold my attendtion. J JA.

704
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. Is that worthy of a

705
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: stink bomb? I think because basically yeah, because I think

706
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: you're putting Tennessee and sections right in you know, the

707
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: same sort of category. Tell me what Department of Motor

708
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Vehicles is over there? DV. What is it? Listen? Listen,

709
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: It's something Frank Reich has cited this in a press

710
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: I know he has, I know stand waiting in line

711
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: at the dvos oh man, that is Matt Taylor, lare Overton,

712
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: JJ stankline. Is there a DVO website where there is

713
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: there is? This is the one I wanted to break open,

714
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: and I mean break open. Is this Colts offense led

715
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: by Carson Wentz. A lot of talk amongst the UH,

716
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: A lot of talks amongst the experts and the analyzers

717
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: out there about people who care about DVO. Is Carson

718
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Wentz the guy coming back? Is he does he get

719
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the snaps to give up a second

720
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: round versus the first round? Is it? We've seen what

721
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: he's done in the past few weeks. It started, Hey,

722
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: a couple of speed bumps. We had a little COVID

723
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: thing there. We had the ankle thing there, trying to

724
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: find his rhythm, rhythm, losing a couple of ones at home.

725
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: But now we're into the third fourth quarter of this season, okay,

726
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: and I start with whoever wants this Carson Wentz and

727
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: this offense go ahead? All right? His rating against the

728
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: Texans one oh seven point eight. He's now registered seven

729
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: games with a passer rating above one hundred, which is

730
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: tied for second in the NFL. Everybody just needs to

731
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: take a seat. Yeah, Carson Wentz is doing exactly what

732
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Frank Reich wants him to do. He's only going to

733
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: get better too. This is only going to get better,

734
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, mark my words. Carson Wentz is going to

735
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: win the Colts a game before the end of the season.

736
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: I need it. He's gonna He's gonna do that. And

737
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: it's come very close a couple of times for reasons

738
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: that we're not Carson Wentz fault like against Baltimore and

739
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. Let's come close. It's going to happen

740
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: before the end of the season. JJ, you came up

741
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: with them before the show. You had a good argument here, now,

742
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: maybe not so much an argument with statistics and possibly

743
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: DVOA backing you up. No dv but this offense go

744
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: fill in the blank, sir. This offense has been the

745
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: best offense in the NFL since Week four. They have

746
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: had a double digit lead in every game since Week three?

747
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: Is that right? So is that right? Mate? Mate? Say yeah,

748
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: I heard that. Set Yeah, So the last time they

749
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: haven't had a double digit lead in a game was

750
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: at Nashville in Week three, Right, the Colts. The Colts

751
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: have the most points scored in the NFL since Week four,

752
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: with three hundred and fifteen. That is, let me do

753
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: a math, nineteen points more than than the New England

754
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: Patriots in that same span, their fourth in yards for

755
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: play since week four. You've got Jonathan Taylor running all

756
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: over everyone, setting records, like setting like it's like a

757
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: record every week Jonathan Taylor is setting. You've got Carson

758
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: Wentz playing within himself, playing within this offense. He isn't

759
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: turning the ball over. The Colts since Week four are

760
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: tied for the fifth lowest number of interceptions of any

761
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. And yet week four they have

762
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: the fifth most deep passes of twenty or more yards.

763
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: And I'm also going to say, let's let's point this

764
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: out as well, like of course, like okay, when you're

765
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: talking about just the receiving game he's had, you know,

766
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman over the course of the season, and then

767
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: you have you know, niney Hinds in that position as well.

768
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: But you know, the guys who you thought were going

769
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: to be primary targets, Paris Campbell has missed nearly the

770
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: entire year. T Y Hilton missed significant period of time early.

771
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: So Carson has done a lot of this without the

772
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: people surrounding him as options within the offense as well,

773
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: because of the limited time that you have seen from

774
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: guys who you consider to be high profile targets for

775
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: number two in guys like you know, Paris Campbell and

776
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Ty who have missed significant time. So I agree that

777
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: Ty is going to be big in this final. By

778
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: the Coults have scored real quick. The Coults have scored

779
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: thirty or more points in seven games this year, first

780
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: time they've done that since two thousand and nine ICE.

781
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and nine was good year. Yeah

782
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I know, I know this has

783
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: been talked about. I know I've said this before and

784
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: I'm kind of beating a dead horse. But again, if

785
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: you look at what happened to the coltson training camp

786
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: and the drama in terms of the COVID situation and

787
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: the injuries and all the guys that missed significant time,

788
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: I mean significant players missing significant time at Westfield, at

789
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: Graham Park, It's almost as if the first month of

790
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: the season or at least the first three games up

791
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: until Week four in Miami. That was training camp two

792
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: point zer. I mean that was time on task because

793
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: no Nelson, no quarterback. I mean, Darius Leonard missed a

794
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: considerable yah, right, I mean it goes on and on

795
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: and on and on. I mean just the amount of

796
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: injuries that team sustained in the first two months of

797
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: the season before the Dony. So it's it's really it's

798
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: this team right now is where they wanted to be.

799
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: In Week three when Carson Wentz was hobbled on two

800
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: bad a Colts in a monster game on the road

801
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: against Tennessee. If you win one of those games against

802
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the Titans, you know, we're talking about the Colts solidly

803
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: probably in the playoffs and maybe one of the division

804
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: who knows. I mean, you can't play the could or

805
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: would have should a game. But you know, this is

806
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: something that Frank Riich actually talked about last night on

807
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: Colts Round Table Live. A fan asked him a question,

808
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, JJ, Yeah, you talked about I mean that

809
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: the Colts being over thirty points in seven of the

810
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: last eight games and they're humming right now. And fan

811
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: asked him, is this the best offense you've been a

812
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: part of since you've joined the Colts. Oh yeah, question Frank.

813
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: Frank answered the question, you know, very politically, and you know,

814
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: he didn't diminish anything they've done in the past. But

815
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: one of the things that he brought up, and it

816
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: was a really really good point. The Colts in the

817
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: first month and a half of the season, they were

818
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: not good inside the red zone. They were not good

819
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: in the red area at all, scoring touchdowns. They were

820
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: not good in gold to go situations either. And so

821
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: if you think about where they are now, you know,

822
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: I think they have a top five offense in terms

823
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: of scoring and rushing and passing. Think about how how

824
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: many more points they'd have. Think about how many more

825
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: games they maybe would have won. Right, they maybe beat Baltimore,

826
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: they maybe beat Tennessee if they get one more red

827
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: zone conversion touchdown. And this is a really good red

828
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: zone team right now, but they weren't the first five

829
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: six games of the season. They're sort of middle of

830
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: the pack because of that early stretch weighing them down.

831
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: But right now inside the twenty yard line, the Cults

832
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: are really creative and they're executing at a very high level.

833
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: I want to I like to throw fun into this thing. Now.

834
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: I don't know why. What is going on with your mind?

835
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, it keeps going in and out. We're

836
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to talk to Casey Value at the end

837
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: of this show and figure out what's going on. We

838
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: got Casey's Cause coming up too. I'm gonna I'm just

839
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: naming the segment Casey's Cause coming up. Uh yeah, that

840
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: was a That was a bit of a I like

841
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: to have fun. It's my point, Lara, you and I

842
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: did this last year. JJ. You are in Chicago, but

843
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: it is like midseason awards I call them. We're not

844
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: going to go through the whole bank and Maytay you

845
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: were there with us, but I've got to go around

846
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the room here because these are fun. Not putting anybody

847
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: over anybody, because each week you could name anybody, but

848
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: I like the assistant coach, Dad gumm At the assistant

849
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year award. Okay of the year, And

850
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: I know that's tough, and there's four games left right

851
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: now hand I got one assistant Frank Reich and out

852
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: of the out of the running. But somebody on his

853
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 1: staff is assistant coach of the year and I'm gonna

854
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: start with my microphone first. He's starting to tick me

855
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: off here if you guys can hear me, but JJ

856
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: go right ahead, No, Lara's starting. Lara's got one. Scotty Montgomery.

857
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: Scotty Montgomery is the guy the production of Jonathan Taylor

858
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: this season and these were massive shoes to fill behind

859
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: Tom Rathman and Scotty Montgomery has brought a new element

860
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: into that running back room and into this offense. And

861
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: if you've watched Hard Knocks, you have seen Scottie pretty

862
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: prominently featured of all the assistant coaches because he is

863
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: a dynamic personality. He is so insightful, he brings incredible perspective.

864
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: Um he has, I mean a background as a player,

865
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: as a coach at the college level, at the professional level,

866
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: and all of these things are a perfect compliment to

867
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the group of guys that he is working with right now,

868
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: in particular led by Jonathan Taylor, who has just been

869
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: on another level that I want to I want to

870
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: give this to Marcus Brady because I think a lot

871
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: of people see he's the offensive coordinator, but he doesn't

872
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: call plays. What does he do? Marcus Brady's background is

873
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: in RPOs. He majored in learning about RPOs and he

874
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: was in the CFL when they were doing it up

875
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: in Canada. Before I came down here to the college level,

876
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 1: Marcus Brady was running rpost with Scott Milanovitch with Scott

877
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: Milanovic the Colts RPO game this year has been so

878
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: good and it is a way for Jonathan Taylor to

879
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: get those carries for Carson Wentz to get some easy completions.

880
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Brady for his impact on the RPO game with

881
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: the Colts is my pick. Okay, mate, Tay what he got.

882
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: I agree with those. I agree with those two selections. Um,

883
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: you know I would probably agree. Um, you know those

884
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: those guys would be first and foremost for me. Just

885
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: to go a different angle for the sake of doing it.

886
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I'll throw in James row of the cornerbacks coach with

887
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: the Colts. He's really gotten the best set of some

888
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: guys that they've needed to step up with Xavier Rhodes

889
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: being kind of banged up this year and ended out

890
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: of the lineup a little bit. You know, he came

891
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: in with a plan for Rock. You've seen, you know,

892
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: the temple connection there I think has rubbed off on

893
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: Rock and JJ mentioned his productivity and his consistency kind

894
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: of even out this year, and then I think Isaiah

895
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers has really ascended two and has really taken a

896
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: nice step in year number two. And you know, obviously

897
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: there's things that about his game that you can't teach,

898
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: with the speed and the quickness and his recovery ability,

899
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: but he's been a nice option. I didn't think he

900
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: would be playing as much, excuse me, as he is

901
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: right now at the beginning of the season, but he's

902
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: been a nice addition to that secondary and I don't

903
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: think you lose to him too much when he's out there,

904
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: especially again with Xavier Rhodes being banged up. I mean,

905
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: he had that interception off with Tom Brady. Go ahead

906
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: and just add that to your trophy case and you

907
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: can tell people for the rest of your life where

908
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: that football came from. So I think those two guys

909
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: you've seen and Isaiah Rodgers have taken a nice jump

910
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: this year, and I think it's partly because of their

911
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: assistant or the position coach in James Roll. One really

912
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: quick thing on James Row too, it's really interesting is

913
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: he didn't play college football. Like his path and journey

914
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: to coaching in the NFL is in credd. Sure it is.

915
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: It's a very cool story. He and I sat down

916
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: when he came into the building and we did a

917
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: whole interview about it. It's Oncolts dot com. But yeah,

918
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: so I believe played baseball growing up. His brother played football,

919

962
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to bring in Don Fisher a little bit

963
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: with Laura Olverton just to talk about the Purdue boiler

964
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: Makers being the number one team in the nation right now,

965
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: and that is a slap in the face. We know

966
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: what Woodson's got going on down there. And again this microphone, casey,

967
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I'm looking. I'm about to break something, just

968
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,879

969
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, give me what Fisher would think about having

970
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: Purdue ranked number one in all of the land over

971
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: your Hoosiers. Well, it's certainly it's certainly not something you

972
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: look forward to. And there's a lot of Purdue fans

973
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: here in Central and Indiana talking about the boiler Makers

974
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: this afternoon, first time ever in program history, they take

975
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: home the number one ranking in old college basketball. Jake Navy,

976
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: Zach Eaty, Sasha Stefanovitch with the three point baskets from

977
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: deep downtown and Trey Beyond Williams coming off the bench.

978
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: They got like a starting five over there on the

979
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: sideline before they even start a basketball game with Indiana.

980
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: But Mike Watson is our head coach, Dame Fife is

981
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: the assistant bad Mona sits over there on the sidelines

982
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: and text her in the game. It does whatever he does.

983
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a fantastic ball game anytime the Hoosiers

984
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: and the boiler Makers get together. And I still like

985
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: Indiana to knock off the number one rated boiler Makers anytime. Indiana,

986
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,600
