Speaker 1: the day, your favorite Halloween costume, like the seven or

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: eight year old Bill Brooks went as what Batman? Oh see,

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: then we can have a chat why I love Batman.

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: I still do like that Batman. I went as Batman

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: multiple years, so took the cap to you, Casey, what

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: about you?

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: I I think I went as a Power Ranger for

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: probably five straight years. Okay, never was a big Power

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: Ranger fan. I just felt like the costume was cool

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, So that was probably probably it.

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Like I think, I think that's like I think back

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: to those Halloweens, it was I was a Power Ranger

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: quite quite frequent.

21
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, nothing wrong with that.

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: That's some good candy.

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: So hey, that's all that matters.

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: And I used to use the pillowcase. I didn't use

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: this small bag. It's like, give me a fitness thing

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: that is old school.

27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 4: I used so.

28
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: Tote bags.

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does your mom have the big bill

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: fold too, like the thing that you know unclipped. She

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: did have that, But of course the day I have

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: always always a crisp you know, five dollars and that bill.

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: All right, we got a lot to accomplish here on

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: this edition of the Official Colts Podcast. Obviously, the big

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: news is the Colts are making a change of quarterback,

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: going from Anthony Richardson did Joe Flacco ahead of Sunday

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: night football against the Vikings. So we'll dissect that and

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: in every way possible, will also break down how the

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Colts can rebound and you know, pick themselves up off

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: of the mat after a disappointing loss last weekend to

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Another visional loss, you know, being swept

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: by the Texans. You know, we'll discuss what that loss

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: and the magnitude of that setback means for the Colts

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: as they embark on the second half of the season. Also,

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: Josh down is gonna join the show today, right, He's

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: fresh off his second straight or not his second straight

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: but his second career one hundred yard receiving game, the

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 1: big touchdown in the first quarter last weekend. Then we'll

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: close out the show. We are going to go trick

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: or treating out here on the podcast, or we're going

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: trick or treating with the Minnesota Vikings. We'll debate on

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: some of their aspects of their team. Is that a

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: trick for the Colts or a treat for the Colts?

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: And we'll obviously explain in more detail later on in

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the show. But here we go. Quarterback change. Bill, I'm

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: just gonna toss it to you, Anthony Richardson. Obviously a

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: very shaky season, and that's putting it lightly right up

58
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and down campaign to this point. We've seen them big plays,

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: but the overall consistency just isn't there. The completion percentage

60
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: isn't there. So just give me your initial thoughts on

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: this move. What went through your mind when you heard

62
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: that news from Shane Stike in the other day.

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: Well, I heard the news.

64
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: Now that's a little shocked by it because now we've

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 5: heard all along that he needs to experience, he needs

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 5: to experience, and then we know that there's going to

67
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: be some ups and down during the season, and you know,

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, lately he hasn't been playing well.

69
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: Completion percentage is down definitely, so I thought, you know,

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 5: maybe continue to give him some more time and you know,

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: play some more And then when they made the decision,

72
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: I was like, well, you know, I guess his play

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: wasn't as up to par as they thought it should

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 5: be at this point after ten games playing the National

75
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 5: Football League four last year, six this year, it wasn't

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: up to par. And that you know, they still feel

77
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: that also that they have opportunity to make the playoffs

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: with the record it is now. So it's kind of

79
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 5: tough because, you know, if I'm thinking long term, I

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: don't know how this plays into their long term thinking

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: now as far as you know, you're trying to find

82
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 5: that quarterback that you want to be the franchise quarterback.

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: What's going to happen now after this?

84
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: You know, if I'm not mistaken, Shane said, moving forward,

85
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: Joe's going to be the quarterback until I guess.

86
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Another decision has to be made.

87
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, this has to be made when that is

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 5: no one knows that right, So, you know, as the

89
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 5: future is uncertain, not knowing what's happening, but right now

90
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: they're focusing on trying to get this team into the playoffs.

91
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, just for some more context. Anthony Richardson coming off

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: the statistically the worst performance of his career and unfortunately

93
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: for the Colts, that came in a It was a

94
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: big game, huge game, swing game. We talked about it

95
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: all last week here on the podcast. Right, you could

96
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: have been in the first place tie. Now you're essentially

97
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: three games back, but in that game down in Houston

98
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: ten for thirty two bucks, seventy five touchdown, the very

99
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: costly interception. Joe Flacco, on the other hand, has completed

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of his passes. His passer rating is

101
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: pristine at one oh two, seven touchdowns, only one interception,

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: casey and three games of work. Here, just your initial

103
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: thoughts and what you what you think is going on

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: right now?

105
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm right on par with with Bill.

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: It was a shock just because of what the narrative

107
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: has been. Is the only way for him to, you know,

108
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: continue to learn is to play and go through the

109
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: ups and the downs. And you know that there is

110
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: the mixed it's it's a mixed bag. You know, for

111
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: with the way I felt, because ultimately, you look at

112
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: what Joe Flacco has done, as we've talked about, and

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: he has played winning football. He has played very very well.

114
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: And that's where you kind of look at this and go, all, right,

115
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 2: where are we at. We're four and four, We're still

116
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: very much in the playoff hunt. So do we continue

117
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: to go with these ups and downs and you win

118
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: a couple of games but you lose some close ones

119
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: and you're outside of the playoffs again looking on the

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: outside looking in. Or do you just kind of attack

121
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: it as you know what this team's ready to go.

122
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: So it's it's a hard balance to play. It's, you know,

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: as Bill said, it's it's hard when you look at

124
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: the future and what that's going to look like. But

125
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 2: I think there is that side that you you have

126
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: to look at this team and say, Joe Flacco may

127
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: actually give you the best chance to win at this

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: current moment and you're very much in a playoff race,

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: very much in that playoff picture. So that's throughout you go, well.

130
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: What do you guys make of the Colts sacrificing Because

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: you're right, I do believe with you. I do believe,

132
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, the stance that this roster is built well

133
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: right now and they do have veterans in place right

134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: now that can compete for AFC South championships. I mean

135
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the Colts loss of the Texans twice this year by

136
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: a combined five points. Yeah, all right, So there's a

137
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of things that went into both of those close losses.

138
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: But I think we all agree that if you have

139
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: more stability and better quarterback play in either of those games,

140
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: you at least split them and you probably win both

141
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: of them. So, Bill, what do you think of the

142
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: Colts decision right now to prioritize winning right now over

143
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: the continued stance that has been here for the last

144
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: eighteen months since Anthony Richardson was drafted that as long

145
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: as he's healthy, he's going to be the guy, and

146
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: he's got to play in order to develop and get

147
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: him where we hope we can get him to be

148
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: the prime quarterback, the franchise quarterback of this team.

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: That's tough.

150
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: That's that is a tough decision because you have some

151
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: veterans on the team.

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: They wanted to do both simultanexactly right, develop, grow and

153
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: also win. But that's just not happening right now, which

154
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: is kind of forcing Shane Stiken's hand at this point.

155
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: So that's how I look at.

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 5: It, right It's it's tough to make a decision like

157
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: that because, like I said, it is forcing his hand.

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: What does he want to do?

159
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 5: And you know, it's tough, especially for veterans on the

160
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: team that Hey, look, you know, I don't know how

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: much longer I'm going to play in the National Football League.

162
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: I want to win.

163
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 5: I want to have an opportunity to try to win

164
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: football games. That's why I signed him, because I thought

165
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: we had a good enough team to play. It's with

166
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: some of the players, I'm sure thinking to themselves. So

167
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: it's a tough decision and Shane and I guess the

168
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: other coaching members and front office that decide. You know what,

169
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: getting to the playoffs is important. We need to get

170
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: to the playoffs, and we have an opportunity to get

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: to the playoffs being five hundred right now, still in

172
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: the hunt to get into the playoffs. So we'll see

173
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: what happens. And as I think both of you agree,

174
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 5: you know, as of right now, Joe Flacco probably gives

175
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: the team the best chance to win football games and

176
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: to possibly get into the playoffs.

177
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they are only a half game out

178
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: of the wild card spot, right, And I know it's

179
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: silly to look at those things with nine games to play,

180
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: but obviously four and four. Yeah, I mean, you're you've

181
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: done some good, you've done some bad. You're literally right

182
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: there in the middle, and you're still in the thick

183
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: of it. And we'll talk about it. You know that

184
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: the Texans play tonight as we take this on Thursday, right,

185
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: So they got a tough game against the Jets. So

186
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: even though you have to be three games better of

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: the Texans in the last nine games of the season,

188
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: that's tough, but not impossible, right, exactly right, So you

189
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: have to continue to put to put the best foot

190
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: forward each and every week. And the Colts now think

191
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: that obviously is with Joe Flacco at the helm. But Casey,

192
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I want to know just within Anthony Richardson's character, his mindset,

193
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: his mental makeup this decision, how much is this going

194
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: to run the risk of screwing up his confidence? We

195
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: know it's going to stunt his growth because listen, you reps,

196
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: you gotta play right, you gotta play especially with his

197
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: his light resume coming out of Florida, right with only

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: those thirteen starts, and he's still twenty two years old, right,

199
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: so he's he's gonna get stunned, There's no question about that.

200
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: But to what degree do you think this is going

201
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: to impact Anthony Richardson's growth and the you know, test

202
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the maturity that a twenty two year old who's just

203
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: been demoted will will have an effect on a guy

204
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: like that.

205
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: I think part of that is the decision if you will,

206
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: because being a quarterback of a franchise, you are I

207
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: mean you are the most highly criticized, scrutinized but highly

208
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: praised player in all of sports. I mean, this is

209
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: the toughest position in all of sports. So this is

210
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: part of it saying, hey, the team as told you,

211
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: we heard from Shane Steik and we heard from the players.

212
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: They all still believe this is not the end. They're

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: not losing that confidence in them. But in some ways

214
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: it's almost like the team is saying, hey, I want

215
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: to see you overcome this because you're going to face

216
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: adversity and every step of the way being a quarterback

217
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL, because there are ups and downs and

218
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: you're going to constantly be magnified. Every little thing you

219
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: do is going to be zoomed in. So for Anthony,

220
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: this is a way to show this is where my character,

221
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: my leadership, my relationships I have with my team and everything.

222
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: I think this is all part of it too, like

223
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: you're being taken away from the field, but it's also

224
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: let's test everything else non football related this decision character

225
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: and that's the biggest thing. And by all accounts, everything

226
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: that we heard from Anthony Richardson when he spoke to

227
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: the media on Wednesday was what you would in what

228
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: you want to hear. He's frustrated, he wants to play,

229
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: but he is willing to do whatever it takes to

230
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: be a good teammate, whatever that step is for his role,

231
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: if he has a role, and when that role comes

232
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: back up, to go in and play for the team.

233
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: So he's saying all the right things. You just have

234
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: to see it on the back end from what the

235
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: coaching staff the players say that he's putting in that

236
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: work and that's part of this too, Like it takes

237
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: a lot more than just being successful on the field.

238
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: To be the leader of a team, you have to

239
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: do a lot of it.

240
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: So this depends on ar And this is this is

241
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: the point right now where it's like Casey said, how

242
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 5: does he respond to this? How does he respond to

243
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 5: this in the meeting rooms? How does he respond to

244
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: this on the practice field? How does he respond to

245
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 5: this in the weight room? How does he respond to

246
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 5: this in the locker room with his teammates? Is he

247
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 5: still going to be a good teammate? Is he going

248
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: to go out there and work and say, know what,

249
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 5: I need to get better at x y Z and

250
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 5: try to find ways to get better at x y Z.

251
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: Talk to the coaches, watch.

252
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: More film, stay after the practice some more.

253
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: Sure, So that's going to depend on him.

254
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: And I think this is going to be an important

255
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 5: part of Anthony's growth majority hopefully, and see how he

256
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 5: responds to this, And I hope that he responds well,

257
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: that he goes out and say, hey, you know what,

258
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: this is a challenge now for me, I have another

259
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 5: challenge in front of me. I'm gonna tackle this and

260
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 5: hopefully I'm going to overcome this and I'm going to

261
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: get back there on the football field.

262
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Well, Bill, I want to tap into your former play

263
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: playing days. Put that hat back on if we can,

264
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: because I do think it's important to talk about the

265
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: here and the now. I mean, listen, I never played

266
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, never have pretended to write, but I

267
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: did play on football teams, you know, up until I

268
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: was twenty two years old. And listen, like, there's a

269
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: boatload of time, and there's a boatload of energy and

270
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: resources that you pour in as a player every single

271
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: week to get ready for NFL games or any football

272
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: game at any level. But you're asking all of these guys.

273
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: You're asking Jonathan Taylor, You're asking DeForest Buckner and Quentin

274
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Nelson and Ryan Kelly and Julian Blackman and Kenny Moore

275
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: the second and EJ. Speed and Zaire Franklin. You're asking

276
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: all of those guys to bust their ass every single day,

277
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: and they do. And if you feel like you're not

278
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: getting the quarterback play in terms of production, I'm talking

279
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: on the field. If you're not getting that, you owe

280
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: it to those guys to do something about it, because

281
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: you owe it to their careers to be successful in

282
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: a given time window. And that's what the Colts have

283
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: right now. They have this window of opportunity with the

284
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: roster built as well as I think that it is

285
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: to capitalize and that's why I'm okay in a vacuum

286
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: making this move. Shane Steiken said, we're taking a step

287
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: back from our approach in that it's always been about

288
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson being the guy so long that he's healthy. Well,

289
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: now that the production on the field is not matching

290
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: up with trying to not winning as much as we

291
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: need to, making the playoffs is important, and we owe

292
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: it to the rest of the roster because those guys

293
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: would be held accountable too. Right If Zire Franklin is

294
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: within non seven tackles a game, he's not playing right,

295
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: So you have to hold everybody accountable, even though the

296
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: franchise plan at quarterback is not on the plan or

297
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: not on the trajectory that you wanted it to be

298
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season. That was a long

299
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: winded way of saying, like, you owe it to the

300
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: rest of the locker room to make this switch in

301
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: order to, as you feel, give yourself the best chance

302
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: to go and win.

303
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: Right now, exactly, everyone on that roster is put in

304
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: time effort, not just from training camp, but I'm talking

305
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 5: about during the offseason, the lifting, the running all the

306
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 5: things they're doing to get ready for an upcoming season,

307
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 5: and the veterans have done it for a number of years,

308
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: and they want to go out there and they want

309
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: to win football games.

310
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: They're all competitors. They want to win.

311
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 5: I don't care what you say about Oh, you know what,

312
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 5: we're playing and we're trying to build for the future.

313
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 5: They still want to win now. Everyone wants to win. Now,

314
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: that's just the way competitors are, and that's the way

315
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: they feel. So those guys do want to win. So yes,

316
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: they when they go out there and you know, things

317
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 5: don't go the way for the team, I'm sure they're frustrated. Yeah,

318
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: we all get frustrated, but we're not looking down on anybody.

319
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: We want the best for all your teammates out there.

320
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 5: You want everyone to do well. So they're going to

321
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 5: hopefully support the young man, but they also want to win,

322
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 5: so they're going to go out there and still compete.

323
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: And as a player that all you can do is

324
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 5: go out there and compete and do the best you can.

325
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: And as a former player, you just remember all the

326
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: time you spent time on task getting ready for games.

327
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's during the week. I mean it's

328
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: a long week. I mean you come in on Monday

329
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: after game and try to get ready. And Tuesdays sometimes

330
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: and it's day off, you're lifting weight, so you're watching film.

331
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: Then Wednesdays start all over again and start you watch

332
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: film and you go out and practice, and you come

333
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: back afterwards, you watch film again and try to get

334
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: an edge on the team you're playing, and do it

335
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: on Thursday, and then Friday out there and Thursday out

336
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: there practicing. Right, I'm pushing each other around, and then

337
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: you know, Saturday, you might have a free time before

338
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: you either go downtown to stay in the hotel.

339
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: It's a large plan.

340
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, go on a plane to travel somewhere, but you

341
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: might get a few extra hours of studying in there.

342
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: And then when you're on the plane, you're going over

343
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: your game plan again. And then when you get to

344
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 5: the visiting team or whatever, you get to the hotel downtown,

345
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: you know, you might go with your game plan again

346
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 5: and think it's about some things and it kind of

347
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: relaxed a little bit.

348
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: Then Sunday you go out and.

349
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Play the wear and tear you put on your body.

350
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: Exactly, you know, and then Sunday you play and then

351
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 5: after that you do it all over again for the

352
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 5: next week.

353
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: So it's it's a long week.

354
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Shane Steyke and is saying, hey, we're we're

355
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: taking a different approach, and he was asked, you know, like, hey,

356
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: it's a good question that we're challenged now on Anthony

357
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: Richardson always being the guy and now he's not the

358
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: guy and we're gonna worry about the few future later.

359
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: So what what does what is the future of Anthony Richardson?

360
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: I know the book is not completely written on him yet, Casey,

361
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: but at this point the resume in the NFL consists

362
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: of ten starts, almost four hundred and seventy snaps. He's

363
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: only started twenty three games since high school. What is

364
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: the future of Anthony Richardson starting now? I guess yeah.

365
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: I mean this is a little bit of a career

366
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: reset if you will too, for him. So I think

367
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 2: we're gonna know the answer because historically teams that make

368
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 2: a move like this, there's not too many happy endings

369
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: with the guy they drafted and they thought they had

370
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: a lot of belief in I will I will say

371
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: one one way you look at this is he's not

372
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: your typical player. I mean there's all the intangibles you

373
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: talk about the small sample size, but also the athletic

374
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: traits and everything that he can do. So there is

375
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: that different you know, I will put that as a

376
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 2: little bit of an asterisk, that that he is different

377
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: from all the other eyes. Now that doesn't mean that

378
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: that story is going to be different. But ultimately I

379
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: don't think we know what the career looks like now

380
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: because this is probably the most trying time of his career. Yeah,

381
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: he missed all of last year majority of last year,

382
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: but that was due to injury. This is your healthy

383
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: and you have to take the back seat. So this

384
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: is really going to be you know, this is the

385
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: make it or break it time for Anthony Richardson. This

386
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: is the time to.

387
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: Do definitely a fork in the road. Yes, which way

388
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: you're going to go.

389
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: Do everything you.

390
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: Can to follow the way that Joe Flacco has navigated

391
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: a seventeen year NFL career. Take the points you.

392
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: Can, and he knows what it's like to be demoted.

393
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: He's been there.

394
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: He has been there, so it it is a challenge.

395
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: But I don't know if we can fully say that

396
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: we know the answer.

397
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, TVD.

398
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it really is TVD.

399
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: I'd be like a college football start time TVD TVD.

400
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: I mean to be determined, and a lot of it's

401
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 5: gone depend on, Yeah, you're right, how he handles it.

402
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: Well, this is going to be in the backdrop of

403
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: probably everything that we talk about now until I mean

404
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: it's it's certainly gonna make for an interesting, curious offseason

405
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: because you know, Joe Flacco, you know, hypothetically he's he's

406
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: gonna perform and you know, take the Colts to a

407
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: good place the rest of the season. But you know,

408
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, no matter what, he's

409
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: on a one year contract, and he's thirty nine years old, right,

410
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, so some of us thirty nine year olds

411
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: don't look as good as Joe Flacker there, Bill.

412
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: Brooks, Joe Joe.

413
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: So it's gonna make for you know, it's gonna be

414
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: in the backdrop of everything that we discuss now going

415
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: forward as it relates to the big picture part of

416
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: this team. All right, coming up, Josh Down's gonna join us.

Speaker 1: Colts can bounce back. All right, Let's talk about the

419
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: task at hand, and we're gonna do this. We're gonna

442
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: do you think the Colts are prepared to pick themselves

443
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: up off of the mat, because again, now you're sitting

444

457
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,240

Speaker 5: off from the past.

465
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: You have to forget about you.

466
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: That was a low hanging from.

467
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: Very long hanging for me.

468
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: So you have to shake it off and get ready

469
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 5: for what's ahead of you. Play in Minnesota Vikings and

470
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 5: think about you know what each game moving forward to

471
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: help you get into the play guys.

472
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: The Lover album that came out in twenty nineteen, it

473
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: was a huge part of my life. It got me

474
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: through such a dark time. The Eras tour is for me.

475
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: It's focusing on the Lover album of twenty eighteen. In

476
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: that regard, you've got to find the daylight. You've got

477
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: to find the daylight. I'm unaware of that. Oh, I

478
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: mean it speaks to my soul. I swear to you.

479
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Without that, I wouldn't be here today. So you've got

480
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: to find the daylight. You know, I'm talking. Here's the thing.

481
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Texans they're not They're not this immovable force,

482
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: all right, You've got to find the daylight coming out

483
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: of that game because you still have everything in front

484
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: of you, right, I guess, Corny, is it sound? And

485
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: you still got nine games to play? You hold your

486
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: destiny still in your own hands. Your four and four

487
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: favorable schedule coming up after the month of November, right,

488
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: but you still have to navigate this difficult time right now,

489
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: starting on Sunday with Minnesota and they're great defense, complicated defense.

490
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: You got the Lions coming up, you got the Bills

491
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: coming up, another Sunday night er against the Jets. Find

492
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: the daylight all right? He swizzle number two? Casey, are

493
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: the Colts realistically now? Are they only playing for a

494
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: wild card spot? After what happened? Incorporate that answer with

495
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift song title.

496
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go back to back on these next

497
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: two with the reputation album from Taylor Swift another huge

498
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: part of my life. And I'm gonna go with endgame.

499
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: I think end game is a playoff berth with this team. Wow,

500
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: the d game is absolutely it's wildcard spot to stop.

501
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: But we mentioned it at the top. You're three games

502
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: back of Houston in the division. If you want to

503
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: play it, you know in a way, there's still you

504
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: mentioned nine games left. They just lost on digs for

505
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: the year. Nico Collins still on IR so they've got

506
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: a tough route to go with the offense. It's been

507
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: a little shaky in Houston. So I think ultimately your

508
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: end game is playoff. But I don't know necessarily if

509
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 2: I think that's wildcard only, but I do think this

510
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: is a playoff team.

511
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 4: In the end game.

512
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: Is ultimately the playoffs.

513
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: The end game, the end game, all right, I'm not

514
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: familiar with that one. But again twenty nineteen the Lover album,

515
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: that was my sweet spot bill take us Home, Oh

516
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: take us home.

517
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: Look, I've got some help on this. So I'm this

518
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: list of this.

519
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 5: This what you call lifeline, No, no lifeline friends, some

520
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: some local young individuals in the buildings.

521
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: I'll leave names out of it for right now.

522
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 5: And on this one, I have multiple titles.

523
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: And I'm saying, oh, yes, multiple, I'm going with this,

524
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: all right.

525
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: You say the coast realistically only playing for a wildcross spot.

526
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: Now call it what you want.

527
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Call it what you want, all right, but that isn't the.

528
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: End game, all right, all right? And you need to

529
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: calm down.

530
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: No.

531
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: Again, off the Lover album nineteen Just calm down, calm down.

532
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: You look at it, your one hundred percent. The Texan schedule,

533
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: holy smokes, Jets, Lions, Dallas, Miami with two Kansas City, Baltimore,

534
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: that could be a lot of l's. Let's just calm down,

535
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: Calm down, put a whole sentence together.

536
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: There you go and say, hey, look, the whole rhetoric

537
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: is tables. I'm gonna go back to.

538
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: My playing days in nineteen ninety six when I was

539
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: playing in Washington. All right, we started the season seven

540
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 5: and one, Okay, after eight games were seven and one.

541
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 5: After that, the next eight games.

542
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: We went two and six. Yes, and we missed the playoffs.

543
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Where was Taylor Swift when you need it exactly?

544
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: We missed the playoffs. So what we've just talked about,

545
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 5: it can happen to anybody. It can happen to Houston.

546
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: You know what, we don't know what's happening. You talked

547
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 5: about the injuries to Houston. Anything can happen.

548
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't want.

549
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 5: Anyone to get injured, but that's just part of the

550
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 5: game of national football, playing football, So anything can happen.

551
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 5: So like Casey, yes, we want to get into the playoffs.

552
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 5: If it's a wildcard, great but the AFC South is

553
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 5: still available to win.

554
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: You just have to take care of your own business.

555
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: What time is your Taylor Swift meet up? Is that

556
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: what they call those what do they call those that

557
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: the hangouts? No, like, we're people that you know, they

558
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: don't they're not at the concert, but they go to

559
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: the concert and they you know, they have a sore

560
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: and they pray to Taylor Swifties. Ye Swifties Fifties United.

561
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: All right, last one here, This better be good because

562
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: we've got to go out with a bang.

563
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: Here.

564
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: What has impress you the most about the Colts defense?

565
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: And they're bounce back efforts the last couple of weeks.

566
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, in the last three games, case eiy're giving

567
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: up only sixteen points per game? What would Taylor Swift

568
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: say about that?

569
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: So I'm going back to the reputation album and I'm

570
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: going this is straight from Gus Bradley's mouth. Okay, Oh

571
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: I am Gus Bradley, and it is look.

572
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: What you made me do? You came at me?

573
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: You said no, no, this defense is struggling. He said, look

574
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: what you made me do? Boomom sixteen points per game

575
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: the last three weeks. This defense is playing well. Really

576
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: like that song the kids. My kids love it because

577
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: it is in the Singe Too soundtrack. So I was

578
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: happy to know that that was I did not know

579
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: it was a Taylor Swift song until I did some research.

580
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 2: But yes, Gus Bradley just dropped it. He just did

581
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: a mic drop and said, look what you made me do.

582
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: That's got to be.

583
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: That's got to be a breakup song, right, I mean

584
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: for her, all of the songs are breakup songs.

585
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 4: Right.

586
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean you don't mean Travis Kelsey, Beware, you do

587
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: not screw around with that. Okay, I like it.

588
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 5: Bill Brooks, all right, this is what I'm going with.

589
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 5: Last couple of games. Defensive been playing well in the

590
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 5: fourth quarter.

591
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, playing extremely well. They're not leaving any blank space.

592
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 5: They're not chancing it. They out there, They're just not

593
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 5: chancing and go out there playing well. Hey, look, we're

594
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 5: going to take care of business right now. What happened

595
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 5: in the past, that was the past. Right now, moving forward,

596
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 5: we are taking care of business, not leaving any blank space.

597
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: I like it. Say again this, I'm going back in

598
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: the archives. All right again, I was, you know, just

599
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: a young guy, wasn't married yet the Red Album in

600
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, another enormous part of my life. I mean,

601
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: just she spoke to me and that era for me.

602
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: It's we begin again. We begin again on defense, and

603
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: I've said it all off season going into this this season,

604
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: way too much talent on that side of the ball

605
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: to be giving up one hundred and fifty rushing yards

606
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: per game on average. The hell Joe Mixon and check

607
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: the ninety six or the Texans I should say, guided

608
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: by Joe Mixon under one hundred yards rushing last week.

609
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: They did a good job. They still gave up some

610
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: impactful runs throughout the course of the game, but it

611
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: wasn't blow by blow like it was in Week one

612
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium. So that was a good step

613
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Stop the run better, the culture,

614
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: making some more plays in the red zone. And the

615
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: biggest thing is it's all about point total. I mean,

616
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: we can sit here and talk about rushing, defense and

617
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: third down and all of this stuff. At the end

618
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: of the day is did you score more points in

619
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: the other team? And the Colts have routinely been holding

620
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: teams under twenty points. They gave up twenty three last week.

621
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: But seven of it was that was junk, right, I

622
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: mean it was essentially a pick six thrown by Anthony

623
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: Richardson right there. So that's not on the defense. Any

624
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: other Taylor Swift songs. You guys just need to get

625
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: out of your system before we transition here.

626
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: No, not me, definitely not me.

627
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: Sure there's no bad blood with Taylor Swift.

00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: a big game against the Houston Texans, including a sixty

639
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: nine yard bomb touch down in the first quarter to

640
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: get things started for the Colts. Take me through that play.

641
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: How did you get so wide open that on that play?

642
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

643
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 6: Man, first, it's career long, So what a blessed thing

644
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: if you have a sixty nine yard for my career line.

645
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: That was a new milestone for me.

646
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 6: But yeah, they drew it up about two weeks ago.

647
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 6: We just had it in the game plan, finally called it.

648
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 6: They Alrea did a good job dropping back.

649
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: Mole block the whole old line block, and.

650
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, just it just worked out exactly how how literally

651
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 6: we ran it in practice. So Ap ran good route,

652
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 6: Pitt ran good route, and Hope play were well.

653
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: That ball was hanging up in the air for a

654
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: long time and you were opened on that play for

655
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: a long time. So as you're sitting waiting on the ball,

656
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going through your mind? Because you know

657
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: as soon as you catch it, you're gone for a touchdown.

658
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean you could have you literally walked in. I

659
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: mean you could have you know, moon walked into the

660
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: end zone. So what was going through your mind? Is

661
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: the ball is hanging up there.

662
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 4: In the balance.

663
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, really just to lock in because those are the

664
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 6: catches that like you kind of take for granted, like,

665
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 6: oh I did this a million times and then boom,

666
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 6: you might fall out of your hands and you just

667
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 6: like bro, I just gave up this opportunity. So, yeah,

668
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 6: the ball was a low low so I was just like,

669
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 6: let me, let me just look it in and make

670
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: sure that I come down with it.

671
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: All right. So the news of the week obviously centers

672
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: around quarterback. That's going to impact you as a as

673
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: a pass catcher, going from Anthony Richardson to Joe Flacco.

674
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: Just your initial reaction, you know, making that big of

675
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: a switch here at the midway point of the season.

676
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I mean, of course I feel bad

677
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 6: for Anthony. That's my dog, But you've got to trust

678
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 6: what the coaches say. Joe's an excellent player and I

679
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 6: know he's He's been doing this a long time. He's

680
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 6: a very excellent quarterback, very smart. So if that's what

681
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 6: the coaches feels best, then it is what it is.

682
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 6: But yeah, I definitely feel for my guy because me

683
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 6: and Anthony are a difference.

684
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you said, you guys are very tight, you know,

685
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: same same draft class and all that. How how do

686
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: you help him along in this tough moment for him,

687
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: just on a on a human level.

688
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, just really just keep in touch with him, like

689
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 6: more than just like talking to him as a as

690
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 6: a teammate, just just asking him is he okay?

691
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: Like how's he doing?

692
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 6: Like stay locked in and just really joking with him

693
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 6: just makes your experience the.

694
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: How is he doing? From an emotional standpoint based on

695
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: I think as.

696
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 6: You've seen it, I think he's doing good. I mean,

697
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 6: he's at a good attitude. He's been out there really

698
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 6: just working in practicing. He's gonna keep going.

699
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you think this will help him? You know,

700
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: grow and you know adversity builds character, right, how do

701
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: you think he can grow from this experience?

702
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: You know?

703
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean just really has motivation.

704
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 6: I had sent him this a little quote like I know,

705
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 6: like like when you're trying to get God to lead

706
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 6: your life, he may not do what you want that moment,

707
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 6: but it's gonna help you in the long run.

708
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 4: So just remind him that, like think think bigger.

709
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 6: It might be motivation time to learn and just get

710
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 6: better in the moment and down the road. Like you've

711
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: seen quarterbacks like Geno Smith's, he's playing really well for

712
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: the Seahawks.

713
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 4: Now sure, and that could be like aar story.

714
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: No doubt about it all. Right, Now, within the task

715
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: at hand, your quarterback as we said, now is Joe

716
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Flacco and you two seem to have a pretty good

717
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: rapport with one another. I mean, you have twenty three

718
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: catches in three games with Joe Flacco as the quarterback.

719
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: So what is it about Joe that accentuates your your

720
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: strength as a receiver.

721
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Joe, Like, like I said, he's just very smart.

722
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 6: He's been doing this game a long time. So uh yeah,

723
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 6: I try to whenever they call my number, try to

724
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 6: get open, and he's he's really on point with it.

725
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 6: And I mean he gets the ball out of his

726
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 6: hands quick, and I feel like a lot of the

727
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 6: times that's that's been what has been. But yeah, I

728
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 6: mean he's been looking for me and I've been there

729
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 6: for him. So I'd say that we just got to

730
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 6: keep that connection going.

731
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: What is it about Joe because his nickname is is

732
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: cool Joe, you know Joe Cool? Yeah, you know, what

733
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: is it about his demeanor in the huddle that just

734
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: sort of puts everybody on ice and everybody's really chilling

735
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: around him with his.

736
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 6: Pois Yeah, like like like you said, he's just cool

737
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 6: in a moment, real real poise. Like he just looks

738
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 6: confident when he does it. He's kind of just like

739
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 6: like I've been there, done this before. So he comes

740
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 6: in the huddle like he just got this swagger to

741
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 6: him like he's just like yeah, kind of like hey man,

742
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 6: like we're gonna run this and it's just like he

743
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 6: but he's been doing it, so I understand. Really good player,

744
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 6: older dude, so you can respect him as a leader

745
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 6: as well.

746
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: Take it easy on the older dude stuff. I'm thirty nine,

747
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: just like Joe Flacco. Yeah yeah, fact can we can

748
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: we chill with that?

749
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: He's a vet.

750
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just young. I'm just really really young. So

751
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 6: like he's like like he's like, all.

752
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: Right, yeah we're a dubb that. Yeah, we're gonna take

753
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: that one out here and post all right. I mean

754
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: but no, I mean even as walk is cool, right,

755
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: even Joe's walk is cool, like a good posture, you

756
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like he just knows exactly where

757
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: to go with the football at all times. And you're

758
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna see a really i would say complicated defense in

759
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings coming up on Sunday nights. So with

760
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: that in mind, how advantageous is it to have a

761
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: guy like Joe Flacco that no matter what he sees,

762
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: he will have seen it before.

763
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 6: Not very advantageous because yeah, like I mean watching tape

764
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 6: on him, they do a lot of weird, funky things,

765
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 6: Like they run a lot of weird different zones, about

766
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 6: twenty different coverages. They got more than that really, So

767
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 6: it's just kind of like, yeah, I mean he's been

768
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 6: through a lot, He's seen so many different so many

769
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 6: different defenses. So for him, he's like he's been there,

770
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 6: done that, So I really trust him in that moment.

771
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: What is it about the Vikings defense that makes it

772
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: so complicated? You just talked about it a little bit,

773
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: but I mean it seems to be nuanced and unique.

774
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: How tough has it been to get a grasp on

775
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: all the things they're doing? And when you line up

776
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: you know exactly what you're supposed to be doing based

777
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: on the reads that you've seen.

778
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they do a lot of different things.

779
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 6: So like I wouldn't say you can just completely know

780
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 6: exactly what they're doing, because at times they might have

781
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 6: somebody look like they're blessing and drop them to the

782
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 6: deep half. So it's like this is things like that,

783
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 6: Like it's just like you may not expect that, but

784
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 6: that's what they do, so it's really complicated. It's hard

785
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 6: to know exactly what they're doing. But I'm confident that

786
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 6: we have a good planform this week.

787
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to Houston. Like we said,

788
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: You're coming off another big game, your second career one

789
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: hundred yard receiving game, and it's a really good second

790
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: season for you. Are you happy with what you've been

791
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: able to put out so far in your second campaign?

792
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 6: Noah, for sure, I'd say nothing short of a blessing.

793
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 6: Started out kind of weird for me because I heard

794
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 6: my ankle in camp, but I was just kind of

795
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 6: like confused in the moment, like right before the season.

796
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 6: But yeah, I could say that everything that I've wanted,

797
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 6: it's come to fruition.

798
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 4: So gotta thank God for that.

799
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 6: And I feel like I just got to keep going,

800
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 6: just go to work every week. I've been banged up

801
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 6: here and there, like my toe and ankle and all that,

802
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 6: but it is what it is.

803
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's the name of football, no.

804
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: Doubt about that. And it's also your first chance to

805
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: play on Sunday night football. All right, So talk to

806
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: me about the emotions they are playing on the big stage.

807
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 6: I'm really just like, even though I don't get to

808
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 6: see it, I just I want one of my friends

809
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 6: to record the intro.

810
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 4: When you say your name, your school.

811
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: I really joshed down North Carolina.

812
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, that's really what I like. And I

813
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 6: mean I know their stadiums. Crazy is gonna be loud,

814
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 6: and I meantime absolutely all right, speaking of primetime, yourself

815
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 6: and Tyler Goodson, you guys are both primetime players in

816
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 6: the NFL.

817
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: And we had him on the podcast I don't know

818
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: about a month ago, and you guys went to the

819
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: same high school, North Gwinnet High School in Atlanta. I

820
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: asked him, how did you guys ever lose a game?

821
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you should have won every game by one hundred.

822
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: Either throw the ball to him or throw the ball

823
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: to you. But I was asking him for some dirt

824
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: on you back in the day as a high schooler

825
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: and some of the knucklehead stuff you guys got into.

826
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure now now's your chance. All right, now's your

827
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: rebuttal give me some stuff on Tyler that maybe people

828
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: don't know about.

829
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 6: Nah Man like Tyler he's homecoming king that right, he

830
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 6: won homecoming queen with his girlfriend.

831
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 4: When he was in high school.

832
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a party.

833
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, I need, I need somebody just show him

Speaker 1: You have the crown and everything.

836
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was just they were a really cute couple

837
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 6: at the time, just like they're one of them. So yeah,

838
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not going to say her name, but yeah,

839
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 6: it was one of them.

840
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: Some puppy love back in the day for sure. All right,

841
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: speaking of that, I know the culture going to be

842
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: out of town this weekend, but in town this weekend

843

00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 6: to her all that much, but I know that Cruel

852
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 6: Summer song, that's real.

853
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 4: All right.

854
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: She's got three shows in Indeed, the culture to be

00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: But that's true. Yes, he can go. He can probably

865
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: go on Friday Friday night. Yeah, yeah, that might be

866
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: a little bit difficult, but he he's going to the

867
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: same hookup or the hangout as Bill Brooks. Oh yeah, downtown,

Speaker 1: beware fight that traffic. Josh Downs. Salute to you, my friend.

869
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: You're a good sport. Thanks for hanging out with us

870
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: here on the podcast. All right, we're closing it out

871
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: here again. Bill Brooks, Casey Valier, I'm Matt Taylor. We're

872
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: going trick or treating tonight because it's Halloween. So let's

873
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: trick or treat with the Minnesota Vikings. I'm gonna set

874
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: you guys up. Trick is that's a little bit concerning

875
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: for the Colts treat is Indianapolis should be in a

876
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: good spot, and maybe they take advantage of the Vikings

877
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: in this in some of these respects. Let's talk about

878
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: the running game, all right. They're gotted by Sam Darnold

879
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but they want to run the ball first

880
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: on offense. Right. The running game goes through former Packer

881
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: running back Aaron Jones. He's one of three players this

882
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: year with five hundred plus rushing yards and two hundred

883
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: plus receiving yards. The other two players in that respects

884
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: are John Robinson and Alvin Kamara. So the Vikings. I

885
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: dug this up in the Prep this week bill. The

886
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: Vikings are five and zero this year when they are

887
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: afforded the ability to run the ball at least twenty

888
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: four times, so they're zero to two when they don't,

889
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, when they were behind, and they don't, they're

890
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: not able to establish the running game guided by Jones?

891
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: Is the running game for the Vikings a trick or

892
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: a treat for this Colts defense, who again is coming

893
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: off a pretty decent performance against the Texans last time out.

894
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 5: I must say this, I think it's actually a trick

895
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 5: because I think the Vikings have a good running game.

896
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 3: Okay, they run the ball very well, Aaron Jones.

897
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 5: As you, yeah, just said it's a very good running back,

898
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 5: has good stats. And I think they're going to try

899
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 5: to run the ball because they want to keep possession

900
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 5: of the ball and they want to set their plaction

901
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 5: pass to Justin Jefferson, want to get the ball down

902
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 5: the field. So I think it's something that the Coats

903
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 5: are going to have to continue to work on because

904
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 5: the Coats overall all as far as the season, rushing

905
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 5: defense hasn't been up to part of what they want

906
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 5: to be, of course, so I'm sure they're definitely are

907
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 5: working on that.

908
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be a trick.

909
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 5: But the Coats have to be prepared for that, just

910
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 5: knowing that they're probably going to try to run the

911
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 5: ball and then the big plays are going to be

912
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 5: to Justin Jefferson on praction pass.

913
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: All right, Casey stayed right there. He brought up Justin Jefferson.

914
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: This could be if you're not prepared. I mean, he

915
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: could be literally a one man nightmare. He could be chucky,

916
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, nightmare on Elm Street or Elm Street, Scream

917
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: five all one. You know what I mean, just take

918
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: your by the way horror movies suck. By the way,

919
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: horror movies are terrible. I love, but I'm not being

920
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: harmon a guy. Yeah, there's no substance, there, a plot steak.

921
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: They're all predictable. But justin Jefferson can be a walking nightmare.

922
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: He's got the third most receiving yards in NFL history

923
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: by a player in their first five seasons in the NFL.

924
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: Had a big game against the Colts last time out

925
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. We haven't talked about that game. Yeah,

926
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: oh no, twelve catches for a buck twenty three and

927
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I know where you're going on this one

928
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: Casey Valier Jefferson. Is he a trick or a treat

929
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: for the Colts.

930
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: I think it's impossible for him to not be a trick, Yeah,

931
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: just because I mean you look at the category in

932
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: the names that he is with. I mean this is

933
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: not just he's a top ten player currently. I mean

934
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 2: this is he is on pace to be a top

935
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: five receiver to ever play the game. I mean what

936
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: he is able to do, and I mean you watch

937
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: him play and he does it in so many ways.

938
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: He's not a selfish player, like he wants to win

939
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: and it if it means he has seven catches for

940
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: forty five yards, but they're you know, a bunch of

941
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: them are big third and two Like that's what he does.

942
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: He does it in so many aspects of a game,

943
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: spots right, And I mean it's one of those things

944
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: where in some ways, you look at this game and

945
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: you look at what everybody else does, you're gonna get

946
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna get his, Like we saw what this team did.

947
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 2: Now this is the one exception. We saw what this

948
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: team did to Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle and at

949
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: Miami game. We know that the quarterback situation from Miami

950
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: was a little shaky that led to it. Justin Jefferson,

951
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: I think he's a different player than what Tyreek Hill is.

952
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill has all the numbers, but Tyreek Hill's kind

953
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: of you know, you kind of know what to expect.

954
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, he can do it all. So in some ways,

955
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: it's almost a treat if you will with what I'm saying,

956
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: because you know what you're gonna get, You're gonna allow

957
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: him to get his. You can't let him break the

958
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: game with like you know, eighteen for two, twenty five

959
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: and a handful of touchdowns. But you can just pencil

960
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: him in for I mean think he's averaging one hundred

961
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: yards per game essentially right at that line, So you

962
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: can pencil him in a probably six for one hundred,

963
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 2: and you just hope that it's not the back breaking.

964
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: Play and you're not giving up thirty points, right.

965
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the biggest thing you don't want it

966
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: to be. You know, third and sixteen and you allow

967
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson to have a twenty five to thirty yard

968
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: big first down completion. Those are the plays. Those are

969
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: what you're looking.

970
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: At all, right, last one I want to hit on

971
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: here before we close out the defense for the Vikings.

972
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: As we said, we kind of alluded to this a

973
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, but really complicated, it's complex, it's unique.

974
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: They bring a lot of pressures, they blitz a ton,

975
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: they're goutted by former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. They're

976
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: giving out less than twenty points per game on the season,

977
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: but their average in the last two is thirty point

978
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: five points per game allowed to the Lions in the

979
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: rams And what's the common denominator there? Between those two teams,

980
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks, established veterans Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford, they kind

981
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: of torched the Vikings in the middle of the field

982
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game. So with that of mind, and

983
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: I think this is doubling back to the Anthony Richardson discussion.

984
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: Maybe this week been making the change in terms of

985
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: the opponent kind of factored into the change at quarterback

986
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: as well because it's such a tough defense for a

987
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: young quarterback like Anthony Richardson. Let's make the change now

988
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco. No matter what the Vikings do on defense,

989
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: Joe will have seen it before. So is that a

990
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: trick or retreat? This defense with Joe Flacco at quarterback,

991
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: who at age you know, essentially forty years old, has

992
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: been there, done that from a scheme standpoint on what

993
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: Floras is trying to do.

994
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 5: I think this week, with Joe Flacco being in there,

995
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco with all the experience, sing all these different

996
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 5: type of defense, it's going to be a treat. Yeah, baby,

997
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 5: go I think it's going to be a treat because

998
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 5: I don't think they're they're going to do anything he

999
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 5: hasn't seen before. Of course, A lot of it depends

1000
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 5: on how the offensive line does and the blocking does.

1001
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 5: But it's not gonna be anything he hasn't seen before.

1002
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 5: And I think he's able to get the ball out

1003
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 5: to the guys that need to catch the ball in

1004
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: certain situations. And we talk about UH completion percentage in

1005
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 5: the sixties, so we know he's going he can get

1006
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 5: the ball out and get the ball to the right

1007
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 5: guys and possibly know it can make some big plays

1008
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: down the field. But I don't think he's going to

1009
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 5: give you too many negative plays because he just doesn't

1010
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 5: know what's going on out there in the football field.

1011
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 5: So I think it's going to be a treat for

1012
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 5: the Colts having flacka win there against this Vikings defense.

1013
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Do you have many

1014
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: trigger treaters tonight your place? You think a few?

1015
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 3: Not many? Weole kind of live in an area where

Speaker 3: on the door.

Speaker 1: the Colts Sunday Night football. We look forward to it.

1073
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: A lot of frequent flyer Miles and I have forgotten

1074
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: a toothbrush two out of the last three road trips.

1075
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: So that's always. That's been good. Walk across the street

1076
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: to to CEVS or walker.

1077
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 2: Here's your here's your friendly reminder, don't forget one this time.

1078
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't really seem to help. I always forget something.

1079
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: Do we have to tie around your next forget?

1080
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: Set the alarm on my phone. That's the toothbrush alarm
