1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your work week is over. Play called and said, if 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: you'll come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday, Monday weekend. 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: This is the last word. The offseason Home of the 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Colts with Jeffrey Gorman and Matt Taylor. Hey, this is 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: the last word right here. Ninety three five one or 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: seven five the fam Matt Taylor. Now, I still dusted 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: off the sand off his sandals. Casey value Downer in Florida, 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: taking a little time off for him in the family. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get this thing through to you, okay. 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: See and the Pacers going at it tonight downtown Indianapolis. 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: We'll get to that, Casey, don't forget about this. The 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: thunder are coming into night against the Pacers. All right, 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk Colts. Don't worry, case I see that. 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: Look okay. But also the Indianapolis Indians opened up today 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: against the storm. So we got the thunder and the 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: storm in town taking on our local team's case. And 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: I don't like it one bit because it's been wet 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: out here. It has been wet, so it's a very 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: ironic with the the team names that are local Indianapolis. 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: Flavor is taking on because it's very reminiscent should wax 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 1: the Thunder den Right. You know, I don't follow West 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Coast basketball because they're in the last, but I'm assuming 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: that the Thunder aren't any good because I feel like 24 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: every year they have about four hundred and fifty draft 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: picks because they traded all their good players away and 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: they're always in the top. So I'm assuming the Pacers 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: should should roll to Let's go all right, that's coming 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: up in a little bit. We got a lot to 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: talk about because the NFL Owner meet owners meetings that 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: I've wrapped up in Phoenix. We're gonna suss what we 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: learned from those meetings. From a Colts perspective, Casey, you 32 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: know that number four pick. Everybody's saying, what are they 33 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: gonna do? What are they gonna do? Who are they 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: gonna grab? We're also get this, we're gonna hear from 35 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: the boss man. Yeah, Jim Rcy sat down with JJ 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: Sankovits from Colts dot Com out there in Phoenix. Okay, 37 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: about what happened at the meetings. What's the latest with 38 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: this roster, how we're look he's gonna give it up? 39 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Jim Mercy, JJ stank of it's coming up. But first 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: we got to go around the calendar of the NFL. Okay, 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back, it's been busy with free agency. Okay, 42 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: not much this week, pretty quiet. They resigned Khalid Kareem 43 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: the defensive end. And see you see this Matt Pryor, 44 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: who's been a spot starter bench byers, starter bench, kind 45 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: of going back and forth. They threw him inside at guard, 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: kept him at tackle. He says, the heck with it, 47 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to the San Francisco forty nine Ers. Yep, 48 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: he's so, he is out after two years here with 49 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Annapolis Colts. So he had he had a time where 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: he I think he played every position except for center 51 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, so he was a versatile alignment. 52 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: So he now goes out west to the forty nine Ers. Well, 53 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: good luck, Matt Pryor. We're gonna see you down the road. 54 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: Sometime outside of that, the attention was in Phoenix and 55 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a handful of the college football pro days. Don't forget 56 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: about because a lot of these quarterbacks were turning heads. 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I want to start it in Phoenix, Verst. At these 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: owner meetings, Lamar Jackson been a talk of that because 59 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: people are saying, hey, what's it gonna take, Colts, What 60 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: is it gonna take? This guy's requested a trade apparently 61 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: over twenty days ago and then it just came out 62 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: like less than a week ago. I know it's a mass. 63 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: There's another quarterback in Green Bay in New York. That's 64 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: another mess. We're gonna get to the head as well. 65 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: But Lamar, just give it to me. What's it gonna 66 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: cost for the Colts to get here? And is this 67 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: something Colts owner Jim Mursey, head coach Chainks Dike, and 68 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: a GM Chris Ballard like having a veteran like that 69 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: come in at a big price tag. Well, I think 70 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: you definitely have to explore all the options, especially when 71 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: you think of a twenty six year old MVP quarterback 72 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: hitting the market doesn't happen very often. So I think 73 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: that right there should push those those ears up for 74 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, drawing interest. And I would assume the Colts 75 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: have done their due diligence or continuing to do that 76 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. But as you mentioned, the price tag, 77 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: that's where it's all going to really culminate to where 78 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: he ends up playing. Because you talk about guaranteed money. 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: That's kind of the hot topic that he we supposedly 80 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: is talking that he didn't get with the Ravens and 81 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: their previous offer. So that's where we are now. So 82 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: who knows where the numbers are that stuff that's probably 83 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna stay pretty inside, you know, the building when all 84 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: that comes out. But it's it's tough because they've got 85 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: that non exclusive franchise tag on him. So if he 86 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: does that, in order for him to go somewhere else, 87 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: it would cost two first round picks plus a new contract. 88 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: So that's a pretty healthy price tag. But then if 89 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you just trade for them, it's probably going to be 90 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: very similar. You know, they're gonna want a couple picks, 91 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: So it's hard. It's one of those things where you know, 92 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: you always want to have a proven guy under center, 93 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson is that. But it's just at the 94 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: price tag, at the time frame you're sitting at, can 95 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: you justify all of that? I don't know. I'm not 96 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: a cap guy. I mean, I'm not Mike Bloom who's 97 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: in charge of all the cap stuff here with the 98 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Colts and Chris Ballard, So I have no idea where 99 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: they can you know, fudge some numbers all here and 100 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: do all that to make it work. But it's definitely 101 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: something you have to explore because, like I said, a 102 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: twenty six year old MVP caliber quarterback doesn't hit the 103 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: market very a lot of money, a lot of picks. Casey, 104 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. I love the kid, I 105 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: love watching a playoff game. Wasn't available to play in 106 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's a key. I mean, we got to 107 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: keep that in mind. A lot of money and Deshaun 108 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: wy it's a basic guaranteed contract set the president for 109 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: all these up and coming quarterbacks about the money that 110 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: they feel that they should deserve. Deshaun Watson sitting out 111 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: of You're coming back signing that ridiculous deal with the Browns. 112 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: So all these other quarterbacks are chirping and looking, let's 113 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: go to the other side. A quarterback that's not on 114 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, he can still win, don't get me wrong, 115 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: but he is on the downside of his career. And 116 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: that's Aaron Rodgers. Let me just say this right now. 117 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: He has come out and said I'm gonna play for 118 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets that say that we're gonna come 119 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: out with you want him what ad he Johnson's like, 120 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: let's get this thing done. It's just about the communication 121 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: between the Packers, the Jets, and Aaron Rodgers, mainly about 122 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: what's it gonna take. This is my point is this case. 123 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. He's gonna play in New York, right. 124 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of at what price and what's 125 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna do to their roster, excuse me, their salary cap 126 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: in New York. And I think it's gonna happen soon 127 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: because if you're the Packers, you're looking for You're you're 128 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: wanting to get draft capital for right now. You don't 129 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: want to lose him and get stuff for next year. 130 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: So I think we've got a month until the NFL Draft. 131 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna be all figured out by now. I'm sure 132 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: they're both trying to get as much as they can 133 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: out of each side. It's gonna get to the point 134 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: where it's like, hey, we're at a deadline here, we 135 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: gotta get this thing done. Let's just go ahead and 136 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: wipe our hands clean. I hope that you know, it's 137 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: one of those things we don't we don't cover Aaron 138 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers employ. I'm kind of glad we don't this seems 139 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: like a headache. Well you better win in New York. 140 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: That Press Corp. Is a little bit different than it 141 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: is in Green Bay, and they're gonna be going, Hey, 142 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: you lost two in a row, bro, let's talk about this. 143 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: It was on you. You missed a couple opens. I mean, 144 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: they'll go after right guys. But I think it's good fit. 145 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: He's got swagger, he loves New York. I mean, let's 146 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: do it. So that's happening there. The other the other 147 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: big news is the Washington Commanders and Orda Daniel Schneider 148 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: and what he's gonna do and how much that he's 149 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: gonna sell this franchise. Is he going to sell the franchise? 150 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: Do it kicking and screaming? Is it gonna take the 151 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: NFL to get involved? As far as the other owners go, 152 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: we don't know, but there is a lot of stories 153 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: out there. Six billion dollars case, and I'm talking about 154 00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: Canadian billionaire Steve Apostallopolis. About Apostallopolis big, the Canadian billionaire 155 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: said a six billion dollars bid. All right, that's also 156 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: what Josh Harrison, the Mitchell Rails Group, which includes Magic Johnson, 157 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: they are excuse me, Josh Harrison. Mitchell Rails Group, which 158 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: includes Magic Johnson, also plays a bid of six billion. 159 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: These owners have to weigh it out. They have to 160 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: talk to these guys, They have to talk to these 161 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: groups that they look what kind of cash they have, 162 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: how fluid they are in cash, how much they got in. 163 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: But you know everything comes into play, financial portfolios. They 164 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: don't miss a thing, So that's what they're doing. I 165 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: don't I personally, I think it's going to happen. I 166 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: just don't know when it's going to happen. And if 167 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: that's six billion dollar tag is the one that's going 168 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: to take to get done. And the Snyders, what are 169 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: they doing right? Kicking and screaming or are you giving 170 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: it up? We don't know. We're gonna find out. Absolutely. 171 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: I would assume it's gonna be more kicking and screaming, 172 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: just because you know, Dan Snyder's a guy who you know, 173 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: he was a fan, and that's you know, he's that 174 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: kind of owner. He was he was the fan, grew 175 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: up with this team, that's who we wanted to buy. 176 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be hard, I'm sure for him to 177 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: watch something that he truly has a passion four and 178 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: loves to go away. But there's a lot of stuff 179 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: that's in the background on why all of this is 180 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: going on. So I think it's a good thing for 181 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: the league, especially when you look at the price tag, 182 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: because what that means is that's how important it is 183 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things. When you're just talking 184 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 1: business and you could sell something for potentially six billion dollars, 185 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: you're doing something right. Especially we just saw Denver the 186 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: Broncos sold for you know, four and a half I 187 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: think it was over four and a half billion, So, 188 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just showing you how I mean, we 189 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: all know the NFL is king. We all know that. 190 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: This just proves that point even more absolutely. And that's 191 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: six billion dollars tag that's on the Washington commanders right now. 192 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: In two years from now, we're gonna laugh when the 193 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: next team going, You're close to nine billion dollars. You 194 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: know what we're gonna be what's happening. We're gonna be 195 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: close to ten billion probably in the next couple year. 196 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: I mean, question, it's bizarre. NFL yes King, And to 197 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: prove it week in and week out, especially with the 198 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: ratings that they get a ross the spectrum and the 199 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: world for that matter, NFL will stay king.

Getting to 234 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: know him. He's one of the youngest coaches in franchise history. 235 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Him and Don Shula, obviously the great Don Shula. What 236 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: about Shane's youthful energy gets you excited about the direction 237 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: he can take this franchise. It's it's really exciting. I 238 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: think it's almost I mean not exactly, but kind of 239 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: like a college campus where all of a sudden, you know, 240 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: the new students come in from high school and and 241 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: you you know, the all American you know, players and 242 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: whoever come in the program, and and you know, for me, 243 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: it's such a thrill because, you know, knowing what I've 244 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: been able to experience over fifty two years, you know, 245 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: and some of the incredible moments that you have to 246 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: see the next generation and the next generation come up 247 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: and experience that is so exciting. And I think it 248 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: really is like you said, it brings a great perspective 249 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: into you know, the whole world of you know, where 250 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: coaching is at and and and all those things where 251 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: Shane's had a lot of experience and obviously a lot 252 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: of success. It's so exciting, and I think he really 253 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: brings um something special to our franchise, which is, you know, 254 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: a proven success and you know, working under outstanding coaches 255 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 1: already in his career, I know he's going to do 256 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: an outstanding job. And I think that kind of energy 257 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: was part of the reason when Chris and I and 258 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: looked at him and Carly and Kaylin and everyone that 259 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: we felt like, hey, you know, not only is he young, 260 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: but but he has that fire and he has that 261 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: enthusiasm and he and that's contagious. What about the structure 262 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: of the organization and the help that Shane will get 263 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: gets you excited about what he can do and how 264 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: he can grow in this role? Well, I think it's 265 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: very exciting because continuity is an important thing as well. 266 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: And having Chris Ballard in there and six years being around, 267 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: with a lot of the staff that's been there, having 268 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: you know, Gus Bradley, you know, a defensive coordinator, and 269 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: other veteran coaches that he chose to keep. It's really 270 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: exciting because he brings in a new level, a new 271 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: excitement and vision and a different look at things. I 272 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: think you're always looking at people to look at your 273 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: franchise and look to see where you're at with your 274 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: roster and your coaching staff and see, you know, what 275 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: can we do from here to get to where we 276 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: want to go? Because we know we've been close and 277 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: we've had some great success, how do we know get 278 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: it over the hump and sustain it? So he has 279 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: a lot of support there, and at the same time 280 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: you want him to have his vision and you support 281 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: his vision as well. It's critical the working relationship between 282 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: the general manager and head coach, and I think there's 283 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: an outstanding working relationship there with with Chris and him. 284 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: How does that working relationship benefit the Colts now with 285 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: the fourth overall pick. I mean you've seen you know 286 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: how many drafts fifty plus? Yeah, I'll tell you it's 287 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: so important because this draft is one where you want 288 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: someone within that fertise of offense and quarterback coaching to 289 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: really be looking at it because you're you're talking about 290 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: several players, multiple players, maybe five, whatever the number is, 291 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: at least in this draft that have the capability of 292 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: being your guy and being your leader for many years 293 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: to come and be in that franchise quarterback. And so 294 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: I think it's so important because just coming out of 295 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and what he built there and the success he 296 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: had there with the young quarterback. So it is marching. 297 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: It is Women's history month, and you know, being here 298 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: at the league meetings, how proud are you of the 299 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: work that your daughters have done in football and setting 300 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: football up for the next generation of women to come 301 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: through the game. It's so incredible just to see, you know, 302 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: my daughters just how incredible they're respected, how hard they work, 303 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: how smart they are, and it's incredible how Carle loves 304 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: to get on the football side of things.

And I mean, I'm I'm 353 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: on record right now saying that I think he's the 354 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: best owner in the NFL.

You have zero, and I 403 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: mean zero chance at getting this one. Casey Vllier, you 404 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: lose immediately. I'm just telling you this right now. The 405 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: NFL has approved players to wear the number zero this year. 406 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: The number zero players can wear in the NFL. The 407 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: last player to ever wear double zero? Okay, okay, double zero, 408 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: which I don't think they can do. They can, they 409 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: can wear the number zero. But there's a couple of 410 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: notable players that wore the number double zero. Jim Otto 411 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: wore double zero for much of his career. He was 412 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: a kicker and like a quarterback for the Raiders from 413 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: sixty one to seventy four. And this quarterback, here's the question, 414 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: the last player to ever wear zero zero is a 415 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: two time pro bowler and he wards zero zero with 416 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: the Houston Oilers in the seventies. I mean, that's all 417 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: I got on this thing. D give zero chance. This 418 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: guy's name was Kenny Burrow and he wore from seventy 419 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: to eighty one. He was grandfathered into that number since 420 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: he wore prior to the rule change prohibiting that number. 421 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: He kind of said, hey, it's here. Before you made 422 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: the rules, so let me stick with it. Kenny Burrow 423 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: gets a shot out, Henny Burrow, Burrow, there's no one 424 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis I got that.

Please do Yeah, Kenny Burrow, we love you, 434 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: but cheeze, let's get them. Should have done it, OKC 435 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Pacer one, we got them coming up. Three games right 436 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: around the corner. But first and foremost intriguing. Now that's 437 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: the main word that people in Scouts and agents are 438 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: talking about. Intriguing that the teams are going sitting where 439 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: they're sitting at the upgroing NFL draft, Intriguing that the 440 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: Texans are at two, Intriguing that the Cults are at four, 441 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: intriguing that the Panthers went up to get the number one. 442 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: It's all about the quarterback case. So my question to 443 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: you is this, we saw will love us. We saw 444 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, we saw Bryce Young, We saw these guys 445 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: pro days. C J. Stroud, we saw the same thing. 446 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: Richardson hit the roof, did a backflip after a Yet 447 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: we saw this. Do these pro days matter to these 448 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: guys that are making the decision? In short, no rush 449 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys watching them. Do these pro 450 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: days matter? Casey? I don't think so. Honestly. I think 451 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: they matter if you do something wrong, or if you 452 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: don't go out there and complete every pass and make 453 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: every throw. I think that's the only time that it matters. 454 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's We talked to somebody at the NFL 455 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Combine and he was talking about how it's essentially everybody's 456 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: going through the same interview process, whether it's the combine 457 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: and then your pro days. They aren't looking for you 458 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: to wow them because the tape is what's gonna tell everything. 459 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: It's just making sure that you are doing the stuff 460 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: you should be doing. So I think that's what the 461 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: pro day is. It's another interview where you are supposed 462 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: to go in, look polished, say all the right things. 463 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: As long as you do that, you just check that 464 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: box off the list. It's another one where you just 465 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: check down and go, Okay, he did that one. He 466 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: did that one. He did that one. And it's not 467 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: necessarily about what you do on the field as more 468 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: of you know, just making sure that you are the 469 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: same person that you were at the combine and the 470 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: same person that people have told you that you are. 471 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: That I think that's what matters more than Anthony Richardson 472 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: hitting the ceiling. But I mean I watched the pro 473 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: day sure, and his arm looks pretty incredible. I mean 474 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: he just stands there and flicks the wrist and it 475 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: goes sixty five yards without even trying. So you can't 476 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: look at that and go wow, that's not impressive because 477 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: it is a lot of strong arms. Case in the NFL, 478 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: I think there are included a lot of strong arms. 479 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: But did they still have that strong arm and hit 480 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: that window slot that's about two foot by two foot 481 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: with the forest buckner on your tail? I mean, that's 482 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: where we're gonna Accuracy matters. That's what matters, all right, 483 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: loved it. Hey had fun watching him. Will Levis included CJ. 484 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: Stro loved watching the pro days. Now it's the proof 485 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: is in putting his general managers are going to go 486 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: at it. What the Panthers doing, more importantly, what our 487 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: colts are doing. Some people are saying, are they gonna 488 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: are they? Are they sticking with their guy at four? 489 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: Whoever falls to them gotta get a quarterback in there? 490 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: Or if their guy doesn't fall to him, do they 491 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: say I'm gonna make a trade. We'll go back a 492 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: little bit. Chris Ballard loves to get his picks. We 493 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: say that ever you so more will be revealed in 494 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: less than a month. Case well, and you talk about 495 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: he loves his picks, this is kind of the fewest 496 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: picks that he's really had during his tenure here. So 497 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: this is a little bit of uncharted waters for where 498 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard and this this camp has been drafting. So 499 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: you sit at four and there's probably a lot of 500 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: teams who would love to go up to four. So 501 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: he just got to weigh those options. You talk about intrigue. 502 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Here it is. And we'll see if the Colts General 503 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: store is open for business. Yes, they say Okay, listen, 504 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: I enjoy a case.

Shane Stiken 508 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: and company coming into Lucas Oil Stadium. It's gonna be 509 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: a different look and cannot wait for it. But we 510 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: got to get through some things first, and the NFL 511 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: Draft is up next. But in the meantime, check us 512 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: out every Friday right here on this here dial and 513 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: get ready because the Oksey Thunder are coming in to 514 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: take on the Pacers tonight and the pregame is up next. 515 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Now I ask you this case, dy, and I'll leave. 516 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: What if Hardened Westbrook and Durant stayed with the with 517 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: the Thunder from years ago? Man, they have titles under 518 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: their pockets, I would, I would think so, But then 519 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: you look at those guys and they didn't really bring 520 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: titles anywhere else. I mean, we're all Durant, same roster. 521 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: Bro about that. You know, Durant joined you know, the 522 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: Warriors and got some titles, but they didn't do it themselves. 523 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I would think so, but I mean, 524 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: we'll never know. All right, good luck, Pacers. You gotta 525 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: take on the thunder tonight. This is the last word. 526 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: Ninety three five one oh seven five The Fan
