Speaker 2: And of course Lara Wolverton from Colts dot Com. We'll

00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,639

00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: We're coming back from Nashville, guys. Want to welcome everyone

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: that's watching on YouTube and our Colts Audio network. I

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: know it was a trip for you both down to Nashville.

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: I always like to check the vibe after a big victory. Hey,

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: there's always a Saturday night party down in Nashville, but

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: it's always sweeter when you go in there and Sunday

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: take care of business. The Colts are three and three, Larra,

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you, this is a playoff team.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: If it ended today, the Colts are in the playoffs.

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get that out there right, you know,

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: early and quick, because we're always talking about what's the

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: next step with this team, well with backup quarterbacks getting

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: it done as well. Colts are officially a playoff team

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: right now.

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,959
Speaker 3: And that's without Jonathan Taylor for the last two games.

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you Alay talked with the quarterback situation without

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: DeForest Buckner, Taekwon Lewis, Juju Brentz, you didn't have Kenny

22
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: Moore in a couple of those situations. I mean, the

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: significant people that you have missed and still found ways

24
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: to win those three games pretty significant.

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure you saying that the Colts being

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: a playoff team right now will definitely assuage the concerns

27
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: some of our listeners and viewers have about the football team.

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 4: That'll that'll just that'll do it. That'll show you.

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: Company.

30
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: The point is, I mean, look at look at the

31
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: AFC right now. It's a mess that this conference you've got.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: You know, your your wild card teams would be Pittsburgh,

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: the LA Chargers, and the Colts right now. But thank goodness,

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: you're not the Cleveland Browns right Thank goodness, you're not

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: the Las Vegas Raiders or the New York Jets or

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars right now. Teams that are in disarray,

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: they don't know who they're starting quarterbacks should be. The

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 4: Jets just fired Roberts Sala. The the Browns are a

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: complete mess right now. And you look at some of

40
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: these teams that feel like they're buried after six weeks

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 4: and the culture at three and three, a lot has

42
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: to be fixed with this football team. A lot has

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: to get better regardless of who is on the field.

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 4: But the Colts have an opportunity to do that. That's

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: what matters right now. They have an opportunity to Let's

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: fix some of these issues. Let's maybe get DeForest Buckner

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: back and start building on this. Let's build around an

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: identity on this football team. And like Shane Steichen has

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: said multiple times, you want to hit your stride in

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: November and December. But the most important thing right now

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 4: is you want to be able to make it count.

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: If you hit your stride in November and December and

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: the Cults are still in that position.

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Well, you're talking about some issues there.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: One hundred and forty six yards total Russian giving up,

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: which isn't as bad as some of the previous games

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: this Colts defense has given up.

58
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, Lara, going.

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Down in a division rival on the road and getting

60
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: a win with a backup quarterback is feeling great. And

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the Skies look sunny as far as what's going on

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: with Anthony Richards. But I'm just saying to get back

63
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: to that. Even Mark be right head to head with

64
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Texas in the AFC South Division like that, and to

65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: do it with a backup quarterback like that, we got

66
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: to be feeling pretty pumped up. So I want to

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: take that and that big energy going to a home

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: game that's been a minute since we've been at home

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: against Miami.

70
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, how crazy of a stretch is this. I talked

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: with Shane Staging about this on Monday. Four out of

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: five away from Lucas Oil Stadium. This is the lone

73
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: home game you have within a month, So you really

74
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: have to take advantage of what is a battered Dolphins team. Certainly,

75
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: I mean every team's dealing with injuries. Certainly, there is

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: very significant with what they're going through right now. So

77
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: this is a prime opportunity for the Colts for the

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: first time all year to.

79
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: Get to a winning record.

80
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: And then you go down and you've got texts, You've

81
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: got the Texans waiting for you.

82
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: Of course on the other side of us this one.

83
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: The ironic thing is a year ago the Colts played

84
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: four out of five games around this time of year

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: at home and they went one to four in that stretching. Well,

86
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: being over the Titans, you hope it turns around a

87
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: little bit and you know, the Colts are able to

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: dig out of that hole. But again, this is what

89
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: we're kind of talking about the Colts last year, they

90
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: gave up what thirty nine to the Browns and thirty

91
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: eight to the Saints and back to back weeks, and

92
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: it's like here, like here we go. But the Colts

93
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: stuck around. They were able to hang around the playoff race.

94
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: They developed an identity when you got into November and

95
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 4: you got into December and they came thirteen yards from

96
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 4: making the playoffs, right, and it can happen.

97
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: You just hope too that some of maybe this injury

98
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: bug is hitting a little bit early and you're gonna

99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: get guys healthy through this really critical stretch when you

100
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: get into November. Like you know Shane has addressed, it's

101
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: obviously it's been a wave of them early on at

102
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: significant positions, critical positions. So I mean, you know, this

103
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: whole is situation with Michael Pittman in his back, how

104
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: long is that going to linger? But you really hope

105
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: for Anthony Richardson in particular that his getting back this week,

106
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: as all reports are currently indicating all the information that

107
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: we have from Shane Steiken that getting him to one

108
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: hundred percent or as close as possible to one hundred percent. Well,

109
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: allow him to sustain a stretch of finishing games, completing games,

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: playing four quarters, doing so, coming out relatively healthy.

111
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 4: I think that's a really good point, Lara, just that want.

112
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: You don't want to get him out there if he's

113
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: not as close to one hundred percent as he can

114
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: possibly be, because you're sustain is the perfect word. You're

115
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: looking to sustain this. You're not looking to rush him

116
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: back out there because you want to get back into

117
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: the playoff race. You're looking to, Hey, we want to

118
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: build with Anthony Richardson this year. We've got eleven games left.

119
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: We want him to be able to build and grow

120
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 4: throughout those eleven games, and rushing him back could be

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: detrimental to that.

122
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: And when the Colts brought in Joe Flackel, they did

123
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: it as a backup. This man is the starter when

124
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: he's healthy. And here's what I like, guys, is we

125
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: did see some action last week out of him during practice,

126
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: taking some number one reps, moving around like that. Then

127
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: we saw he was a third string emergency quarterback down.

128
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: So I like that he had last week and then

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: this week based on him starting this game. Anthony Richardson

130
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: is back? What is this Colts offense? Are we going

131
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: to be looking at something depending on Jonathan Taylor as

132
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: to oppose what we saw with Joe flackowin there? Now

133
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson time is here again?

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean these are two very different styles

135
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: of quarterbacks. And that's something that you know, we've talked

136
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: with a lot of the Colt's receivers about is just

137
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: you know a little bit of the benefit of having

138
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: both of those guys that you're working with and developing

139
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: with each of them.

140
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean this is a it's a.

141
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: Different layer of the playbook that you're opening up when

142
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: you have Anthony out there with some of the things

143
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: you can do, whether Jonathan Taylor is there or not.

144
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 5: Certainly, ideally you.

145
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: Would like to have both of those threats, you know,

146
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: in the run game and having a defense that has

147
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: to account for both of them. But even with Anthony

148
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: and the way that these receivers have been playing of late,

149
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: and you know, I thought that Tyler Goodson had a

150
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: really strong game. You know, you'd like to see him

151
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: catching a little bit of momentum at this point in

152
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: this season. Trey Sermon a little banged up, so we'll

153
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: see where he is coming out.

154
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: Of the player day off today.

155
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean this is certainly going to be

156
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: I think a situation in which the Dolphins are going

157
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: to be a lot less comfortable having to game plan

158
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: and scheme for Anthony Richardson.

159
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean with Richardson coming back. The thing that

160
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: I'm looking for is kind of rust where this is

161
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 4: sort of going into our like we have a little

162
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: like take shop. Second, it's coming up.

163
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: You don't want to miss the take Shop, I promise

164
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: I have.

165
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: This is one I didn't put on the rundown because

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: I'm not there yet, but I was listening to I

167
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: think it was The Athletic Football Show, because either them

168
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: or The Football three or one show that Nate ticed us.

169
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: But one of those real smart people podcast was talking

170
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: about Kirk Cousins and how when you come off a

171
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 4: season ending injury, it takes a little while to work

172
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 4: off the rust and to get back into the flow

173
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: of it. And this is Kirk Cousins. He's played in

174
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: the league for a decade. He's a very very good quarterback,

175
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: and it was sort of like once he worked through

176
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: those first couple of games. Bam, there's five hundred yards

177
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: against the Buccaneers and he comfortable and they were able

178
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: to move the ball the way that they wanted to.

179
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson obviously does not have the experience and the

180
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: cachet of Kirk Cousins, but I think there might be

181
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 4: something to some of the missus Anthony Richardson had in

182
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: the first four weeks of the season being due to

183
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: rust and not due to a fatal flaw in him

184
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: as a quarterback. We'll see as the season goes on

185
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: if that's true or not. But like the six interceptions

186
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson only threw one pick in his rookie year,

187
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: some of those misses where he's sailing it over Josh

188
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: Downs on a quick out route like he wasn't doing

189
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: that last year. So I kind of want to feel,

190
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: you know, say, hey, are we going to chalk it

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: up to rust or is it an actual problem with

192
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson. I think we're gonna find out if he

193
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: can sustain a stretch now coming back of four or

194
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: five six games. But even in this game against Miami,

195
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 4: my point being Lara, there might be a little bit

196
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 4: of rust now that he's missed two and a half games.

197
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Well, Lara, let me ask, we know who this cat

198
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: is and running is a big part of his offense

199
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: and this colts offense. So you're not gonna, in my opinion,

200
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: you're not gonna put Anthony Richardson out there, who's one

201
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: dimensional when he can be two dimensional with his leg.

202
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: So that's one hundred percent health and he will be

203
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: running the ball.

204
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 2: Do you agree? I do?

205
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 5: I think so.

206
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: I think you will be very intentional in the circumstances

207
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: in which you run him, and you're going to be

208
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 3: selective in the opportunities that you have.

209
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 5: But I don't expect him to be limited.

210
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: I think when you know you have a thoroughbread like that,

211
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: you're not gonna pull back on the reins.

212
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: What Yeah, I mean that it kind of goes into like,

213
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: you know, Shane Steichen was asked on Monday, why essentially,

214
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: why could Michael Pittman Junior play through his injury but

215
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson could not? And Shane's answer was, well, Anthony

216
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: touches the ball on every play and you know this

217
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: and that, But I think that absolutely plays into it,

218
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: like if you're gonna put Anthony Richardson out there and

219
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 4: you feel like you cannot run him, then don't put

220
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: him out there. Wait for him to be able to

221
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: run the football because that is one of his superpowers

222
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: and I think it's it's gonna be something where look,

223
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: every time he takes off and runs, fans might get

224
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: a little a little bit nervous, but he has to

225
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: do that. He has to and you can't be scared

226
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: of him doing that, and you have to let him

227
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: be the weapon that he is based on his skill set.

228
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: Also, I mean, no injury is the same, no player

229
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: is the same. But when you look at you know,

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: Derek Carr is dealing with an oblique injury and he's

231
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: out for multiple weeks. The Saints have already said that.

232
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: Now we don't know the severity of his versus Anthony's,

233
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: but when you're talking about a quarterback and you're talking

234
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: about that, and it has a lot to do with

235
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: the fact of that's on the plant side, you know,

236
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: and what he's able to do. So there are some

237
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: things to take into consideration. Also, like Michael Pittman injuries,

238
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: he's just in a totally stratify like there's yeah, like

239
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: he's I mean, you have Joe Flacco saying that pitt

240
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: is one of the toughest guys he's ever played with.

241
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: This is Joe Flacco, Like, look.

242
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: At the oliver of people he has shared a locker

243
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: room with, and Michael Pittman is at the top of

244
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: that list. So I think that that is a little

245
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: unfair of a comparison when you take anyone compared to

246
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman. I think if you want to get a

247
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 3: closer level of just getting an understanding, you have to

248
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: look at someone in the same position who's dealing with

249
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: something in the same vicinity of the body.

250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like.

251
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: A back injury too. Like, I mean, you know, I

252
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 4: sleep funny and it's like I can't do anything for

253
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: a week. And here's here's pitt coming out and just

254
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: catching a game winning touchdown and a game ceiling reception.

255
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: Incredible, I'll tell you what.

256
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 5: Then a tussle in the end zone.

257
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, with that with Leugeria, he's one of the most

258
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: physical cornerbacks in the NFL.

259
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, he's getting a backslap. That's a Pittman. I

260
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: want to throw on a parss let's go maybe, Yeah,

261
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: he gets he gets you're right, I'll stay off the back,

262
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: but he gets one to tap there before we go

263
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: on and open.

264
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: Up this take shop. You're gonna love it. Can we

265
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: give a little love to Riga bartel shuit? Wow? Is

266
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: he the best in the NFL or doing what he does.

267
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: And husbands of this season?

268
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's that that punch that's like. To

269
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,359
Speaker 4: be able to hit that with that precision is ridiculous

270
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: when you think about the balls going off your foot

271
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: fifty seven yards down the field and to be able

272
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: to do that, that's incredible.

273
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: Shane Steichen told me that he actually played that back

274
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: in the team meeting on Monday in slow motion to

275
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: just allow everybody to have a level of appreciation and

276
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: see exactly what Rego did in that situation. Because you

277
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: think about it, and in the moment, everyone who's playing

278
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: on special teams is focused on maybe their assignment and

279
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: what they're doing, so you don't often get to totally

280
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: see obviously you know the result of it, but Shane

281
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: wanted to be sure that he put a spotlight and

282
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: put the focus on exactly what that special teams unit

283
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: was able to do. I mean, that was the game

284
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: ceiling play. Like Pitt had to go ahead touchdown.

285
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 4: The punt was the game seal. I mean, you're not

286
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 4: doing anything from the three yard line with no timeouts

287
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 4: and twelve seconds left. And even if, even if that

288
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: ball goes out of the end zone and you're on

289
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: the twenty, it's a It's very low odds, but it's

290
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: not as low as it was at the three. You're thinking,

291
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: you you get a three, you have a little bit

292
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: more space to operate in, you can get a throwback.

293
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: Some crazy can happen when you're you're starting at the three.

294
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: You're not getting a ninety seven yard play to win

295
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: the game. Right.

296
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: Two quickly, things too on special teams, Ashton Doolan, Josh Downs,

297
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: both of those guys. The play of those guys in

298
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: Tennessee on special teams was significant. Dulan two special teams

299
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: stops titles, single game career high in special teams, tackles

300
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: and then downs four punt returns for a single game

301
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 3: career high.

302
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: Have sixty seven love the yard?

303
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

304
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: Well, and those sixty seven yards are critical. Geez, in

305
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 4: a game where you you gained two hundred and sixty

306
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: something total yards. Down's got your first down every time

307
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: we touched the ball in punt right, that was huge.

308
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: Well said, what a great game.

309
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: A couple more Ada boys backslaps Dalton Tucker, Tanner Bordolini

310
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: sliding in zero sacks giving up for the Colts offensive lives.

311
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: Two rookies they're on the interior.

312
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: And to Dalton Tucker as well, like you're upfront with

313
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys who have been premium draft picks,

314
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: you know for the most part, Like up there, these

315
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: are guys who you have spent draft capital in when

316
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: you think about you know, obviously Quenton Nelson, Braden Smith,

317
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: you know the guys who you are upfront with. So

318
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: for Dalton Tucker, a guy undrafted rookie, he told some

319
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: of our guys internally, like his only college scholarship offers

320
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: were Marshall and Eastern Kentucky. So to capitalize on the

321
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: opportunity that he had at hand.

322
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: Unbelievable.

323
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 4: I mean, and he's going up against like Jeffrey Simmons,

324
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: Oh in there it the pretty tall task. Tanner Berdollini.

325
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: Also in his rookie debut, he went against Cam Heyward.

326
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: Like these guys are getting tested and they're they're holding

327
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: up and again no sacks against a Titans front that

328
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: was going to go after Dalton Tucker, which they did.

329
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: There are some stunts, there are some things they did

330
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: with Jeffrey Simmons to try to get him a little uncomfortable,

331
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 4: and he held up. And Joe Flacco did a good

332
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: job stepping up and avoiding pressure.

333
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: And hey, it's an Adam way for Tony Sparano Junior

334
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 3: and Chris Watt, the offensive line coaches.

335
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: For the job that they've done.

336
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: Once again, I checked it again today. The Colts offensive

337
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: line still is the highest Pro Football Focus grade of

338
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 4: any old line in the NFL. Nice and they're doing

339
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: it starting rookies in three consecutive games.

340
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, right.

341
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Is that's really good Joe Flacco, he's getting a backslap

342
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: as well. I think I can't touch Michael Pittman on

343
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: the back, but everybody else I'll give a backslap too,

344
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: right there. I want to open up this bake shop.

345
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: Check that.

346
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: I want to open up this take shop. Rather, it's

347
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: still a sweet place. You're gonna love this, Lara. I'm

348
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna start with you in this take shop. We're gonna

349
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: dissect some takes. These are hot about the twenty twenty

350
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: four Coals and if we believe them, can they improve

351
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: them or do you think it's too early to dispense them?

352
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty uh, that's pretty good description of what's going

353
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: on here?

354
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Are you right? Yeah?

355
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: These aren't These aren't fully formed. There's still there's still

356
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: be in the your hair.

357
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: You're you're here to put the you're putting cherries on top.

358
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: We're sticking the toothpick in and seeing it. Is it

359
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: done yet or is it not all right? Here we

360
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: go take number one. If the Colts make the playoffs, remember,

361
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: if it ended today, they are a playoff team. But

362
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: after seventeen games, if the Colts make the playoffs, is

363
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: it strictly because of Anthony Richardson took them there?

364
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: From this point on, Lara.

365
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be strictly like it's it's

366
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: never a one person, one player type of situation. But

367
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: I do think this team goes as far as Anthony

368
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: Richardson goes. That's how I would phrase it, like yes,

369
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: Like that's that's why you invest four a fourth overall

370
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: pick in a quarterback with a guy who has the

371
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: level of athleticism and the upside that he does. Like,

372
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: what was the conversation surrounding Anthony coming in with how

373
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: you know raw he was, with how few college games

374
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: that he'd started, all of that, Like, it's your drafting

375
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: him for who he is going to become more so

376
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: than who he is.

377
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: This is the time where, yes, you.

378
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: Want ant Any Richardson to become one of the most

379
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: threatening quarterbacks, the most difficult quarterbacks to cover in the NFL,

380
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: the most athletic, dynamic players that you have on the field.

381
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I think that that's that's wise,

382
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: that's what you want. That's what you expect out of

383
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: any quarterback. I think to get there, to get there, and.

384
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: You got to get the ball right.

385
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: And he doesn't have to get there to that point

386
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 4: that Lara's describing. He doesn't have to get there this year.

387
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: But if he starts going in that direction, Yeah, I

388
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 4: think this could be a playoff team. That's because I

389
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: think we have to wrap our heads around this is

390
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: going to be unlike any season we've seen before. If

391
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: it goes the way that it could, you could see

392
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson complete fifty five percent of his passes. But

393
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: if he hits those explosives. If he hits three to

394
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: four to five forty yard games in a game, the

395
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 4: cult are going to win, right because of that, And

396
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: if he misses some other throws as he's kind of

397
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: working through some stuff. But again, he hits those explosives,

398
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 4: Culture gonna win and they're going to be a playoff

399
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 4: team because of that. That's kind of why I put

400
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: it on there.

401
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Some of those explosives are with his legs. Agree or disagree, agree,

402
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree to agree. Take number two, JJMS stand

403
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: right there with you. Josh Downs, who had a great game,

404
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: seven catches, obviously the touchdown, and like you said, what

405
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: he did in special teams. Josh Downs this season, when

406
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, he will lead the Colts

407
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: and receptions this year. He has twenty seven right now,

408
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman has twenty five and Alec Pierce who didn't

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: have any receptions against the Texas excuse me the Titans.

410
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: But what a great pass interference penalty.

411
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: Which I loved.

412
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: If you guys saw that he wasn't even done sliding, yeah,

413
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: and he was calling for it. But does Josh Downs,

414
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: does he the reception leader when this thing is all

415
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: said and done the way that you see it right now,

416
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: and obviously health playing a big part of that.

417
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: So I put this one on here because I wish

418
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: I had been more forceful saying this during training camp. Okay,

419
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 4: before he got hurt in training camp. I kind of

420
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 4: I think I might have told you, Lera, I might

421
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: have just like pulled someone aside on the sidelines. I

422
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: think Downs leading this team in receptions, and then he

423
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: got hurt, and I was sort of like, I guess

424
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: I got to back off this. But I think now

425
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 4: the way that he's going, he's like he's uncoverable in

426
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: the slot.

427
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: You can't.

428
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: He's going to find space. And if you want to

429
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 4: start allocating more bodies to him, okay, great, hey, guess

430
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: who's running forty yards of the post out Pierce. So

431
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: he provides this sort of like really tough choice for

432
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: opposing defenses of if we need to start clamping down

433
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: on Josh Downs, then we're exposed on the outside and

434
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: they got Alec Pierce. That's a problem, especially if you

435
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 4: have Anthony Richardson or Joe Flacco throwing him in the football.

436
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 4: So I think what what Downs is able to do

437
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: on third down especially is why I think he's going

438
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 4: to lead a team in receptions. He's got eight catches

439
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: on third down already that have resulted in a first

440
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 4: down night, tied for the fourth highest total in the NFL,

441
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: and he missed two games. So he's tracking toward I

442
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: think absolutely leading this team in reception.

443
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: That's a Pro Bowl type of year, you know what

444
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: I mean. That's if he continues.

445
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 4: Well, he's got to get more explosives to be in

446
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 4: that Pro Bowl discussion. That's how you get it as

447
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: a receiver, and you know you're you got to beat

448
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 4: out some you know, Nico Collins and you know Davante

449
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 4: Adams and these guys. But for him to be able

450
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 4: to do that, if he makes the Pro Bowl or not,

451
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 4: we're gonna know here in Indy how good of a

452
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 4: player he is.

453
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: Well, the frequency is Josh downs with the number of receptions,

454
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: but you have Alec Pierce with the yardage per reception.

455
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 3: I mean Alec is averaging twenty eight point three yards

456
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: per catch right.

457
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: Still after a no catch game last week?

458
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 4: Yes, wow, well that's per reception per reception? Sorry yeah,

459
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: should it should technically go up because that thirty three

460
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: yard PI should like also count toward his total. Oh yeah,

461
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 4: and also if if Joe Flacco doesn't miss him on

462
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 4: that third and seventh throw in the fourth quarter, that's

463
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: a sixty yard touch that's true aps release on that

464
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: and the way that he just worked into space behind

465
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: sneez awesome and Joe knew it.

466
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe knew it.

467
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 3: That's the thing with Alec is it's like, maybe the

468
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: targets are fewer, but it's the yardage you're getting per

469
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: target is immense, whereas the frequency of Josh Down's catches

470
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: to this point have been higher.

471
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 5: So it's it's an awesome situation for an offense to be.

472
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 4: Who leads this team in receiving yards right now at

473
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 4: the end of it.

474
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: Alick, Yeah, yeah, I mean I think when you look

475
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: at it, that's what's so great about having I mean,

476
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: you know, think about it. Pitt's your your fifty to

477
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: fifty guy, right the guy who's gonna win those contested

478
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: catches type of situations. Certainly, I mean, the other all

479
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 3: of those guys have that element. But you have all

480
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: of those guys who have kind of these defined skill

481
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: sets and how they own different situations within your offense.

482
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: To some degree. I think it works so great. Yeah,

483
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 4: because Downs can be your short and intermediate guy. Pitt

484
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: can be your intermediate short guy in terms of like

485
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 4: their strengths, right, So like downs, if you need eight yards,

486
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: he's getting you eight yard, Pitt. If you need twelve yards,

487
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 4: he's getting you twelve yards. Aleck. If you need to

488
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: twenty yards, he's getting you twenty yards. Those guys work

489
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: all so well and compliment to each other. This is

490
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: as good a wide receiver room as I think the

491
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 4: Colts have had in a really long time.

492
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: And it's a great spot where defenses have to hedge

493
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: your bets, right, like all of those because.

494
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 4: Each of those and it also goes into the quarterback

495
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: right where previously. I mean, I think we're learning that

496
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: Alec is a really good downfield receiver. The Colts just

497
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: didn't have anyone to get him the ball last couple

498
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: of years, right, the last two years. And Michael Pittman

499
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 4: Junior is that he's kind of that slasher on those

500
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: intermediate routes. You could get him the ball in those situations.

501
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 4: You still can get him the ball in those spots,

502
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: but now you have a quarterback who can push it

503
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 4: deep and that opens so much more up for the

504
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: rest of the offense.

505
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: It signs an extension, shows that he's a number one

506
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: receiver here he basically guys in that word basically as

507
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: key in the last couple of years. Is a nine

508
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: to ten reception a game one hundred yards a game

509
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: type of a player with the with Josh Dollins being

510
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: in the role that we just talked about in the

511
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: important of him to a quarterback and getting a lot

512
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: of receptions. Ady Mitchell, who is you know, a high

513
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: draft choice that's gonna come around sometimes. So I guess

514
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: does that Pittman stat line go down a little bit

515
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty forty You think where you know, right

516
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: around eight nine catches a game one hundred yards because

517
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: of the spreading of the offense.

518
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 4: I think it actually has more to do with Richardson

519
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: and what he's able to do. We're talking about quarterbacks

520
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: who can get you the ball. So I looked it up.

521
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson when he's throwing in and out routes so

522
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 4: kind of your typical intermediate you know, your digs, your

523
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 4: sale how many yards he's averaging twelve point seven yards

524
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: per reception when he throws it, but he's only completing

525
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 4: forty two point nine percent of his passes on those.

526
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 4: That's about twenty five percentage points below the league average. Oh,

527
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 4: sixty seven point two percent. Anthony gets that completion percentage up.

528
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 4: Pittman's gonna get more yards because that's you think about

529
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 4: that catch against Pittsburgh that opened the game. That's one

530
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: of those throws where it's like, you know, it wasn't

531
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 4: technically one of those routes, but that's one of those

532
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 4: like perfect Pittman throws where he just works in between

533
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: a corner and his safety into space and you just

534
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 4: rip him the ball. He's really good at that. I

535
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: think that's on Richardson to maybe get get him the

536
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 4: ball a little more there.

537
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: Hey, let's stay with ad Mitchell. It's imminent this young

538
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: man is going to have a breakout game or two

539
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: or three before this season is over. Second rounder. We

540
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: saw what he did in college. All he does is

541
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: catch touchdown passes in national championship games. Is he in

542
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: a position with this wide receiver group, a very very

543
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: skilled wide receiver group. Is he going to have one

544
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: of those games where we see ad Mitchell for five

545
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: ten catches one hundred and fifty yards type of thing.

546
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: Does it happen?

547
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: I think you're I think you could look at a

548
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: four catch game push in one hundred yards and I

549
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 4: think it's coming soon. Did you see what he did

550
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: to Lugarius Sneed on that whip route? Wow? Oh my goodness.

551
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 4: You know what it reminded me of. This is kind

552
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 4: of bad. Brings up some bad memories what Justin Jefferson

553
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: did to Stefan Gilmour in that twenty twenty two Colts

554
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: Vikings game.

555
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: And now those guys are teammates, they sure are teams Jefferson.

556
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 4: I mean, it was like just this unbelievable the way

557
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 4: that he's able to like sink his hips and hit

558
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 4: the route home. That's what Adie Mitchell did. And I'm

559
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: not comparing Adi Mitchell to Justin Jefferson in any other

560
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: way right now, other than that he can move like

561
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: the best receivers in the NFL. He's got to figure

562
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 4: out how to be on timeless stuff and all that.

563
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: He you know, he said he's a great line in

564
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 4: the locker room last week that he you know, he's

565
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: put some hot sauce on some things when sometimes he

566
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: just needs salt. Yeah, I think he's gonna figure it out.

567
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: He's got he's got the trust of his quarterbacks. Shane

568
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: Steichen loves the guy. Jim Bob Cooder likes the guy.

569
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: Reggie Wayne had a pretty passionate defense of him last week.

570
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: It's gonna happen at some point where it's like, oh

571
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 4: my gosh, Adie Mitchell just toasted some cornerback and got

572
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: a you know, forty yard gain, and then he gets

573
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: rolling a little bit and we're coming out of game

574
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: being like, there's the breakout.

575
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: You're right, and Laro, we've seen this over the years.

576
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: Have you guys covered in the NFL? It takes one

577
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, these players get rolling with

578
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: statistics and game performances that it's like, hey, we just

579
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: needed one out of them.

580
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: Well, especially that position, right, Like, that's not uncommon to

581
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: see young receivers take some time to have those type

582
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: of games. And who better to mentor him through this

583
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: than Reggie Wayne. I mean thing about early in Reggie's career,

584
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: he had his own struggles.

585
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 5: I think it's really.

586
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: Easy for people to forget and with Reggie, you know,

587
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: he talked so much about watching Alec Pierce develop and

588
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 3: you know, just telling him to stay patient, do the

589
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 3: little things, and the guidance with which he imparted upon Alec,

590
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: and how well that is now going to serve. And

591
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was that way with Josh Downs last

592
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: year at certain points too, because here you've had, you know,

593
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: kind of this steady stream of new receivers, young receivers,

594
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: rookie's coming in and so I just think that Reggie

595
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 3: will take exactly kind of that same you know, tutelage

596
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 3: that he's imparted upon his other guys with ad in

597
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: terms of creating that opportunity. Yeah, you're right, he said,

598
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 3: he just needs to keep things a little bit more simple, right.

599
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: He felt like a little bit like a freshman year

600
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: all over again. Not an uncommon situation. He's humble, he

601
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 3: goes about things right way, he works incredibly hard. So

602
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see things start to click for

603
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: him here as we get towards the middle part of

604
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 3: the season.

605
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: Let's stick with receivers here, and I call Moali Cox

606
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: a receiver because he's a tight end and he receives

607
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: the football.

608
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: So, guys, is he.

609
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: One of the most important players of this offense. I

610
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: love this question in this take because we've seen what

611
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: he's done the last couple of weeks, but not only that,

612
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: he's been doing it for a long time, wearing these colors.

613
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what.

614
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: Moaly Cox again a big play guy and a big

615
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: part of this offense.

616
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: I feel so sorry for anyone who's trying to stop Molei.

617
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: Kocks, Oh, Quandre Diggs, Oh buddy, Like, oh man, he's

618
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: like running into a traffic poll.

619
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, what is it? Immovable force meets what's the phrase?

620
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm totally batching this, but like, yes, like it

621
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: is unfair when a dB tries to match up and

622
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: stop mo.

623
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: Like yards after catch with that guy. Come on.

624
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: So here's why I put this on here, not just because,

625
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 4: like you know, I'm becoming a mo Ale Cox truther,

626
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: but the inline tight end is kind of having a

627
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 4: bit of a renaissance in the NFL over the last

628
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: couple of years. The guy can stick his hand in

629
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: the dirt, get his nose in there on running plays,

630
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: hit an explosive in the passing game now and then,

631
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: because as defenses are putting these two high shells over

632
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 4: teams and daring teams to run the ball. The kind

633
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 4: of split out tight end is. You know, if you

634
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: have a great one, that's still that's great. That's fine.

635
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: Travis Kelsey's awesome, we know that. But if you have

636
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: that inline tight end who can catch and block in

637
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: the run game, when teams are daring you to run

638
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: the football instead of throwing it deep, that matters. And

639
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: the Colts have a good why tight end in mo

640
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 4: Ali Cox. He's just straight up good. I You might say, well, oh,

641
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: you know, you know, it's four catches or whatever, like,

642
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: go watch the tape of mo Ali Cox and tell

643
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: me that guy's not a good football player.

644
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you both this. Okay, let

645
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: me ask you both this. I'm gonna play a Devil's

646
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: abag kid here. Okay, Kelly all right, weeks one and

647
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: two to twenty nine plus, Uh excuse me? His snapcount

648
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: went from eighteen and weeks one and two to twenty

649
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: nine plus. Is this strictly a Joe Flacco The offense

650
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: changes a little bit when Flacco's in there, it changes

651
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: back to something else.

652
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: When Anthony Richards this is I think the offense evolving,

653
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 4: and you're starting to realize how defenses are playing you,

654
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: and you know what, we need that guy with his

655
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: hand in the dirt. We need that guy who's attached

656
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 4: to the line. Moiley Cox this year. I look this up.

657
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: When he's lined up in a three point stance, so

658
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: in line, hand in the dirt, he has the fifth

659
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 4: best Pro Football Focus run block grade in those situations

660
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: among tight ends. He that's good. You know, take Pro

661
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 4: Football Focus grades for what you will. I kind of

662
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 4: use him as just like a baseline of like, hey,

663
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 4: is this matching kind of what I'm seeing. I don't

664
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 4: know if this is maybe matching what the league is seeing.

665
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: But only Brock Powers as a higher PFF offensive grade

666
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: among tight ends than Moyle Cox this year.

667
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay, and he's in a big part of that Vegas offense. Yes,

668
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean doesn't leave the field type of thing. Yeah,

669
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: good for Moali Cox.

670
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

671
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: She also put I also put it on here because

672
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: when we get off this podcast, I'm calling up Jack

673
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 4: Doyle to talk about mo Oh really, first story on

674
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: colds dot Com tomorrow.

675
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: Oh great, Moali getting some love? All right. Defensively speaking,

676
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with you, Lara. We've had some issues

677
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: we've had.

678
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: Some some clock control, you know what I mean, some

679
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: forty to twenty as first time of possessions go early

680
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: in the year and what like that.

681
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: Injury's gone better, you know, got better. It has gotten better.

682
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner knock on something. If he comes back this week,

683
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he comes back next week. With

684
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: the addition of the Forest back to this defense, Guys,

685
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: does that one man settle down even obviously the front side,

686
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: but the backside behind him with EJ and Zaire and

687
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: of course affecting the play that will be the defense?

688
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is he that guy that's this place is

689
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit differently when dfo is

690
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: back one hundred percent?

691
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

692
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: I mean every team that goes up against this Colts defense,

693
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: when ninety nine is in the middle, for the most part,

694
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: he's getting you know, he's taken on double teams in

695
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: different situations because the amount of respect that people have

696
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: for DeForest Buckner, how difficult he is to face up front.

697
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: And when you get Defo and Grove right there in

698
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: the center of that, that opens up opportunities for everybody else. Yes,

699
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: I mean, the defensive line has done a good job

700
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: like without him, with the guys who have stepped in

701
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: there in tough circumstances.

702
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 5: But I mean, yeah, there's a reason.

703
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: He is, you know, pro bowler, all pro DeForest Buckner,

704
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: you know, one of the longest tenured guys on this team,

705
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: one of the captains. I mean, I don't know if

706
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: there are enough accolades to describe exactly what DeForest means

707
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: to this team, but yet, like, immediately you're getting better

708
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: when he gets in there.

709
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's where I think you're gonna see the big difference.

710
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: And it's just the Colts miss buck and Grove on

711
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: the interior on run plays so much. Because I'm watching

712
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 4: this game against Tennessee and how many times Lared did

713
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: it feel like Grover Stewart's immediately in the backfield? Yeah,

714
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: Like he fires off the snap, he's in the backfield,

715
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 4: and then a run play goes the other way, so

716
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard had to run. It was in the first

717
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: quarter inside the red zone where the Titans double team

718
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: the other dtackle. They have their right guard quote unquote

719
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: block Grover Stewart. I don't know what it was designed

720
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: to do, but they then have Calvin Ridley come over

721
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: and Chip, Grover Stewart good luck, but they run the

722
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: ball away from him. The teams are just saying, Eh,

723
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: we'll let Grove do what he wants to do. We're

724
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 4: just gonna run at the other direction. When you have

725
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 4: DeForest Buckner in there, you can't do that.

726
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: You can't do that.

727
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: Even if you double buck you can't do that. And

728
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 4: that's what teams are kind of doing to the culture

729
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 4: right now.

730
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: Be realistic.

731
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: I know it's a crystal ball, but a guest, give

732
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: us a guest on the return of DeForest Buckner to

733
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: this defense.

734
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 4: I think by week eight. I mean, you'd love to

735
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: have him back this week, you would. This is the

736
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: first week he's eligible to come off injured reserve. But

737
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: if you can, and look, Miami's got a heck of

738
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: a rushing offense that is a There are going to

739
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 4: be a challenge with the speed they have in the

740
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: way they design some things. But if you get him

741
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 4: back for that Week eight game at Houston, and that's

742
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 4: a game that if you want to contend in the division,

743
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 4: you can't lose that game. No, you lose that game

744
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: to Houston, you're thinking wild card. Probably the rest of

745
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: the way.

746
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.

747
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 4: But if you get him back for that game, that

748
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 4: that's what you're thinking.

749
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: He's still walking around, has a little bit of a

750
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: brace on that ankle. We saw him on the sidelines

751
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: in Nashville and all of that. So he's been posting

752
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: some of the work that he's been doing. One thing though,

753
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: to go back, you know, we talked about Anthony Richardson

754
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: maybe you know, having some rust to kind of work

755
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: back in.

756
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: Do you anticipate, like with DEFO, is this a put.

757
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: Him in there and he's right back where he left

758
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: off or does it take him some time?

759
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, I think because

760
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 4: he's such a veteran and it is only a four game,

761
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: four or five game absence, I think the rust may

762
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: be a little bit less.

763
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

764
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: I also I don't know, like I kind of put

765
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: Buck in a different stratosphere. He's almost in that like Pittman, Yeah,

766
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 4: stratosphere of like if he's out there, I expect him

767
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: to go make plays regardless of what he's dealing with.

768
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: What is you know, rust level is because he takes

769
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: such good care of his body, He's so prepared. He's

770
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 4: such a pro and a veteran at it. Yeah, that

771
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 4: I don't like, you know, if we're talking about him

772
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: missing like an entire season and then coming back maybe,

773
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 4: but that for this stretch, I think if he's out there,

774
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 4: you're going to see impact level to forest pot.

775
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: And even when he has had you know, like even

776
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: when he's been you know, nursing that ankle, like he's

777
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 3: been hitting the weight room, he's been doing absolutely everything

778
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: to maintain exactly what he needs to stay into game shop.

779
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: I mean first person in the building you know, for

780
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 3: weightlifting sessions doing all of those things, and that is

781
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 3: something that's a routine, right, that is constructed over so

782
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 3: much time.

783
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 5: You know exactly what you need to do.

784
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: You think about all the things that he's battled through

785
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: and not miss time, so he knows what he has

786
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: to do in terms of some maintenance to come back

787
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: in and immediately be back at that level that he

788
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: expects to be.

789
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: Guys, before we cut out here at the side, you

790
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: look at an eye test, the smell test, and you

791
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: never want to have a team come into your building

792
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback and take care of business. And

793
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about this week with the Miami Dolphins.

794
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: Just give me your one shot on them really quick,

795
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: because that's a one o'clock kickoff down at Lucas Oil Stadium.

796
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: And as we said, Colts are back on the road

797
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: for their next two right after that.

798
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to talk about banged up, I mean

799
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: Miami is banged up. You got obviously Tua is out.

800
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 4: It was good to hear Mike McDaniel say he could,

801
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: you know, come back and play this year, but he

802
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: will not be eligible to play against the Colts this week.

803
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: Jalen Phillips is out. That They've got a lot of

804
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: injuries on that defense. They still have Jalen Ramsey, it's

805
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: a really good player, but you know, they they've lost

806
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: some dudes. Christian Wilkins was there the last couple of years.

807
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 4: He's now in Vegas. So this is a this is

808
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: a team that the Colts should should win this game.

809
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 4: You got to take and look, I know you're real

810
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 4: scared of Waddle and you're scared of Hill. Sure, those

811
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 4: are got to get the ball to them though. You

812
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: got to get the ball to him and you got

813
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: to run the football too.

814
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: How much have you seen from one Jalen Jones, Sam Womack, Like,

815
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: I mean, just really good play out of like both

816
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 3: of those guys, especially coming out of last week. Every

817
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: week Jalen Jones has started to level up to the assignment.

818
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 5: It's the tough task that he has had.

819
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 3: Zire Franklin was sure to shout out Jalen Jones after

820
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 3: that win at Tennessee. So, yeah, a couple of guys

821
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: who I think that, I mean, you limited and they

822
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: weren't trying to push the ball downfield a ton, but

823
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 3: still Will Levis didn't go over ninety five yards passing,

824
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 3: and I think that is just an indication too, of

825
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: really starting to see the secondary step up.

826
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 4: This is another take that I have that I didn't

827
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: threspence yet. But okay, people being like, oh, Will Levis

828
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: stinks throwing out throughout the Colts defensive performance, they were

829
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: historically good against Will Levis. Will Levis completed or he

830
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 4: attempted twenty seven passes and didn't throw for one hundred yards.

831
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 4: I don't care if you think Will Levis is the

832
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: worst quarterback in the NFL. That's an impressive performance. It's like,

833
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 4: you know, the old like you can only beat in

834
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 4: front of whoever's in front of you, and well, if

835
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 4: you have a team in front of you that maybe

836
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 4: is not very good, but you beat them handily, which

837
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: the Colts did in terms of the passing game on defense,

838
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 4: that's impressive. Still, I'm gonna say that's a good game,

839
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: I think, Lara, to your point, leveling, leveling up to

840
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 4: the challenge. Yeah, okay, now you gotta level up to

841
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 4: Tyree killing Jalen Watt. This is this is going to

842
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 4: be a challenge for these guys, regardless of who's throwing

843
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 4: the ball to him. You gotta level up to it.

844
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 4: But so far they have leveled up to those challenges.

845
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 3: And here's how you help. Getting pressure up front, that's

846
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: how you help. That's what you gotta do. That's it.

847
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: You've got to dial it up with the pressure up front.

848
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: See that force coming from everybody. That's exactly what you

849
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: got to call it.

850
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: Picked off Will Levis because dioa dangel got really good pressure.

851
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: On him, and we got to continue that because that

852
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: place is going to be rocking at one o'clock coming

853
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: off of victory. Colts and the Dolphins will kick it off.

854
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: Lara Olverton, JJ Stank if it's follow him on Colts

855
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: Dot com they got the latest and greatest on this

856
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: football team, and also on social media at Twitter x

857
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: at Lara Overton, at JJ Stankovitz. Let's close tonight because

858
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: halftime is right around the corner against the Miami Dolphins,

859
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: and JJ, I know you haven't been in Indianapolis for

860
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: a long time, but I know you're a football fan.

861
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Clark will be put in the Ring of Honor

862
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: at halftime of this game, and I think it's so fitting.

863
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: I was there his first day out of Iowa. I

864
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: saw him in his dockers and his brothers. He borrowed

865
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: his brother's collared shirt, an old pair of dockers that

866
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: were about to size forty four waist and watching this

867
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: what looked like a farm boy come in here and

868
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: then you know, develop into what he was. I just

869
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: am looking so forward to that and seeing one of

870
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: the greats to wear a horseshoe getting up in the

871
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor forever.

872
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: We had a chance to talk to Reggie Wayne about

873
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 3: Dallas because Reggie considers Dallas like his favorite teammate, like

874
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: those two were a tandem, like they had a very

875
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: special still have a very special, you know relationship, but

876
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: Reggie was sharing some stories and just talked about like

877
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 3: anytime you had a guy who does not wear gloves, like,

878
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: that's different, right, He was a different type of player.

879
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: And the think about the fact too. This is something

880
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 3: that Matt Wilkin and I were talking. Matt Wilkining and

881
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: I were talking about, is like that offense with Marvin

882
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: and Reggie and all the guys he plays. The way

883
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 3: that Dallas was able to solidify himself as a weapon

884
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 3: within that offense alongside those guys. Everything that he was

885
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: able to do so incredible. Certainly a fan favorite.

886
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 5: It's gonna be.

887
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 3: Great to see him go rightfully so where he deserves

888
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 3: up in the Ring of Honor. And then, hey, do

889
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: you know who This last three Dallas Clark touchdowns came

890
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: from Joe Flacker.

891
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 5: That's exactly right.

892
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: And Dallas wore eighty seven when he played in Baltimore

893
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: because of Reche.

894
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 4: Oh about Dad, I had a chance to talk with

895
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: a couple of guys, tell Us, tell us who he

896
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 4: had a chance to talk Tony Dungee, Jeff Saturday and

00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 4: Tart Glenn. So far, I'm supposed to be getting a

Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, right, shocker, Aaron Rodgers gets

910
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: his way. That's a conversation for another time. But do

911
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: you know the great story this has been told a lot,

912
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: but when Dallas Clark was drafted, They're like, what number

913
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: do you want? And he was like, I'd like to

914
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: have eighty eight. That number has been taken. Somebody actually

915
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 3: already has that number, and he.

916
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: Got all through. Forty four is obviously Harvin Harrison.

917
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember those practices, man, Tom MORA last thing

918
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: I'll say, Tom.

919
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: Moore, offensive coordinator for the Colts for a lot of years. Oh.

920
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: He used to kill this young man at practice his

921
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: first two years. Tom's and Iowa guy Dallas is and

922
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: he was so hard on him. Tom Moore just barking

923
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: and barking and marketing, and he talked to him years

924
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: after and we know why. He's like, I've never seen

925
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: anybody with his skill set in an offense that I've

926
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: run like this. So I'm gonna put coach check kid

927
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: hard year three. They were best of friends, but the

928
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: first two years cracking the whip. We're gonna see a

929
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: lot of the I'm sorry, a lot of his teammates,

930
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: Coach Dungee and Peyton mannings of the world, et cetera,

931
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: et cetera. There will be a VIP list that'll be

932
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: on the halftime field putting Dallas Clark in the ring.

933
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 4: Viotner, I'm sorry, Tony Dungee told me just that. He

934
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 4: so as he's sitting at Palomino's after the Colts clinched

935
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 4: the AFCOOL. He's sitting there at one o'clock in the

936
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: morning with his family after the Colts clinched the AFC

937
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 4: in the six playoffs, and he's sitting there and his

938
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 4: mind starts going to if we had Dallas in two

939
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: thousand and three, I would have been sitting at Palomino's

940
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 4: at one o'clock in the morning. We would have made

941
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl that year too.

942
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 3: Also, there's an awesome photo that I'll send to Ava

943
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: who's gonna edit this together. That Reggie shared with me

944
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: one of his favorites with Dallas Clark from when they

945
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: won the AFC Championship, So I'll be sure to send

946
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: it because it says everything kind of about their friendship

947
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: and their relationship and just how much he means to

948
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: his teammates. That's something that you reiterated is he's in

949
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor certainly like they're because of the

950
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 3: player that he was, but also because of the teammate

951
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 3: that he was. Ja Jammes, Sure, that's a similar THEAA.

952
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 4: I mean, like like I was talking, I finished up

953
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 4: talking to Jeff and at the end of it, I

954
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: was like, this is the easiest assignment I've had all year.

955
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 4: Call up former teammates of Dwight and just say say

956
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 4: something nice about Dallas Clark and they just go because,

957
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the most beloved guys to come

958
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 4: through this building in the history of this frame, and.
