Speaker 1: Yeah. I wish we were talking.

11
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: Remember remember that guy, he was good, he was good.

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy?

13
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: All right, guys, Yeah, it's it's it's deflation around here.

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: It's deflation around Indianapolis. Disappointment is everywhere, no bigger than

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: in that locker room. I know people roll their eyes

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: when they hear that, but we've been there, guys. We've

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: been there in the in the ninety plus degree days

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: up at Westfield, watching this team come together and watching

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: the promise of it was and kind of the rugby

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: and taken out right from underneath us.

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: The Colts team.

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Yesterday, no chance for playoffs, obviously, one game remaining. You

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: hate to be in that position, you know, having a

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: game that really doesn't matter at that point of the year.

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: But I just you know, I'm just putting it off there.

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: What I've been hearing in the temperature of the city

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: of Indianapolis and Colts fans disappointment over another big opportunity

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: that falls short. JJ, if you can touch on.

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: It, yeah, I mean I think a lot of anger

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 3: and there's nothing I can say to wipe it away.

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: I mean, players are angry. Like I thought to Forrest

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: Buckner today he had a media availability over Zoom. He

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: was angry, he was frustrated. I think whatever emotion you're

34
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 3: feeling about this Colts team is valid right now because

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: they had a chance to beat a thirteen lost New

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: York Giants team and they could not do it. Had

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: they done it, we would be sitting here on this

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: couch right now talking about you win against the Jaguars,

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: you get too things to break your way over the weekend,

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: you're in the playoffs, and instead, this team feels as

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: far away from the playoffs of playoffs of the as

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: they have felt in a couple of years. That that's

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: where it feels like right now. In Zion, Franklin talked

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: a lot about it. He's like, look, potential just means

45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: you haven't done it yet, and we keep you know,

46
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: the Colts had playoff potential this year, but they didn't

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 3: do it. So, you know, I don't really know what

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: else there is to say about it. It's just it.

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: It is crushingly disappointing, and whatever our our listeners, our

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: viewers are feeling right now is totally valid.

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: There's been some big opportunities, big games. Saw it last season,

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: saw it season before, saw it this year. Hey, you

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: had to, you know, things had to get going. What

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: is it is it? Is there an elixir out there?

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: What is it that can't get this team over the

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: next step? And obviously we're talking about a playoff dropt

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: that's going in year after year after year, and let's

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: not forget about an AFC self title that's now going

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: on a decade.

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: I have got old school to my you know, notepad

61
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: and paper because I went back and went through the

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: postgame sound from yesterday and you know I do I

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: echo it, ja ja said DeForest Buckner on Monday. Was

64
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: was fantastic, just in terms of I thought, going into

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: you know, what they're experiencing as players and just you know,

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: giving some perspective on what his experience and what that

67
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: has been.

68
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: So that's certainly worth a.

69
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: Watch if you want to, you know, hear from his perspective. Certainly,

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: you know, one of the most respected guys in the

71
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: locker room, one of the most veteran guys in this

72
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: locker room. But something that when I look to post

73
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: games Sunday afternoon MetLife Stadium, hearing from guys like zaire

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: As JJ mentioned Michael Pittman Junior, what alarmed me a

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: bit was the fact that when these guys were asked

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: about what has it been in these do or die

77
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: elimination situations that you guys haven't been able to get

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: it done, And a number of them just talked about

79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: when you go into these games, you have to have

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: a like a heightened intensity. There has to be greater

81
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: attention to details. Attention to detail lack thereof is something

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: to Forrest Buckner mentioned on Monday. Zirare Franklin hit it

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: on it on Sunday, and I just think when you

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: have a collective message of this is something that we're lacking,

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: I think there's concern, you know, surrounding that, but you know,

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: at least you're pinpointing on Okay, we know what some

87
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: of the concerns are and some of what the issues

88
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: are perhaps, but that's just what we're hearing right now

89
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 4: from those guys and what they're seeing, what they're experiencing,

90
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: that some of the common thread in these types of situations.

91
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: It's almost it's almost baffling that this happened again. I mean,

92
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: you think back to twenty twenty one the Jaguars game,

93
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: where you got like zey, you know, you got flat

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: out beat in that game. You got flat out beat

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: in this game. That's those are Zia Franklin's words after

96
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: the game. And for it to happen again, is it

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: really is? You know? And I think a lot of

98
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: players kind of this too after the game, where they

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: were asked sort of these big picture questions about like,

100
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: you know, why why do you think this happened? And

101
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: there was just a lot of like, I don't know,

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: which you know, and you can go back to the

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: attention to detail and some of the things that created

104
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: this loss.

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: But level of execution wasn't.

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: I it's the scope of it. It's the scope that

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: this happened again that I think is so just stunning

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 3: that and I think a lot of players felt that

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: way of you know that this is stunning that has

110
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: happened again.

111
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: I think also because you look to some of these

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: were in prior seasons. You have a situation this year

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: that it just recently happened. You were in Denver and

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: you didn't get it done. So you would have thought, hey,

115
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: here you have a second chance, that you were not

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 4: promised things kind of fall your way on Saturday.

117
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: How was it not?

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: Man, We've got to redeem ourselves for not getting it

119
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: done in Denver. There's such a re experience in which

120
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: you can look to to what didn't get you the

121
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: result that you needed in Denver when you had an

122
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: opportunity to put yourself in a fantastic position to be

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: in command and likely.

124
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: Get a playoff spot.

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: So the fact that it wasn't even that you have

126
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: to maybe look back to last season or you know

127
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 4: some of these previous you could have just looked to

128
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: two weeks ago.

129
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, Larah.

130
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: This thing.

131
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: You know, I want to nitpick with you guys a

132
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: little bit on this, okay, because I want to preface

133
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: this by saying I can't tackle anyone. I mean, I

134
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: can't tackle anyone. I can't catch a football on Sunday.

135
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: I'm not there. I'm not that guy. But when you

136
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: talk about players and a standard that is being set

137
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: in the NFL locker rooms the elite athletes across the world.

138
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to nitpick on this stuff, but the

139
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: little stuff Week seventeen of the season, we're dropping or

140
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: dropping pitches, We're dropping passes, we're missing tackles. We have

141
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: plenty of defenders around a ball carrier that are coming

142
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: up short those That's what I'm trying to ask is like,

143
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: can you guys give me some insight on that, because

144
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: at this point of the game, we talked about, we

145
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: talked about how much this game meant. We talked about

146
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: the other seasons as well, but the urgency of this game.

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: And they have drops here, drops there, miss tackles there,

148
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: misstackles here that all add up, you know what I mean.

149
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: There were some big spark There were some Star Wars

150
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: plays by the Giants yesterday that simply should not have happened.

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, the New York Giants had six plays of thirty

152
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: or more yards that and three of them went for

153
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: touchdowns in that game. I was looking back at it.

154
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: Since at least twenty fourteen, the Colts have not allowed

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: a single player to have three thirty yard touchdown passes

156
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: in a game. And they gave up three to Drew Lock.

157
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: Of all people who look, I'm a Zoo guy. Yeah,

158
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: I'm a Drew Lock apologist here. He's a good he's

159
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: a better football player than he gets credit for. But

160
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: it's a career years, it's a career game game rather

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 3: I Drew Lock, and it came when you needed to

162
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: to win to stay alive in the playoffs. It and

163
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: I almost feel like I just want to get up

164
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: and walk off this podcast set because like, what else

165
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: is there to really say about it? When we all

166
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: watched the same thing and we all saw the same mistakes,

167
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: And I don't honestly have any really good insight into

168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: why it happened. It just it did. And it's something

169
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: that the guys on the field. You can tell how

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: it ate at DeForest Buckner, it ate at Zire Franklin,

171
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: it was eating at Kennymore the second you know, those

172
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: guys Ryan Kelly after the game. How just it? It

173
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: really kind of it's not gonna leave how they feel

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: about this season for a really long time, if ever,

175
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,359
Speaker 3: because this season's going to be remembered as a disappointment

176
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: for those guys, and they're going to think back to

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: the Denver game, They're going to think back to the

178
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: Giants games like we we we did this to ourselves

179
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: as something to Forrest Buckner said, Right, Lara.

180
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I was just going to Jays. That's

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: where I was going to kind of pick up on.

182
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: You know, the common thread about at all is that

183
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: a lot of this is not that the Colts have

184
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: gotten beat it's the Colts have beaten themselves.

185
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: In those situations.

186
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: That's the common thread among all of this, and I

187
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 4: think that could be what's most frustrating about all of it,

188
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: is that when you have had these opportunities, that's really

189
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: what it's been. It has been you know, costly mistakes,

190
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: and it has been self inflicted.

191
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: It's been all of those things.

192
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 4: Why I'm not exactly sure that's probably the talent's there.

193
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: I mean, the talents there.

194
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: Something that players have steadfastly stood by is the talent

195
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: is there on this team. And I do think that's

196
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: what makes it harder to swallow. Like if you're this

197
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: upstart team that you're you're kind of punching above your

198
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: weight and you kind of you just run out of

199
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: steam at the end of the year, and it's like, hey,

200
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: you know what, though, like, we we feel really good

201
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 3: about the direction that we're going because we competed in

202
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: these games and maybe, yeah, we don't maybe we don't

203
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: have the talent, but we played really good football this

204
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: year for what we had. The Colts feel like their

205
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: level of talent being up here and the results being

206
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: down here. That's a big gap that they've got to

207
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: figure out how to bridge.

208
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: I also think one of the things that's concerning is

209
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: you just also are getting to the end of the

210
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: year in which you don't.

211
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: Necessarily feel like that this group. Excuse you, pardon me

212
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 5: my email.

213
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: Here, I just muted my computer. Yes it was already muted.

214
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: I should have.

215
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: Well, I was listening to post game sound. That's that's

216
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: why it was up, So excuse me on that. But

217
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: you're getting to the end of the year. You're in

218
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: Week eighteen, and you still don't feel like this group

219
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: put together a complete sixty minute performance, not one single time.

220
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 4: I mean, we heard it, you know, over and over.

221
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: We have to more complimentary and have to do all

222
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 4: these things. And you felt like you got that going

223
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 4: in the Denver game, and then that, you know, fell apart.

224
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: I thought that you know what was it.

225
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm like now losing track of games here. You know,

226
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: you felt better about it against Tennessee for a majority

227
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 4: of that game, but then you had a lapse defensively

228
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: exactly there were parts of it still did not put

229
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: together a four quarter back. I mean, what do you

230
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: look to going into this one as being like, Okay,

231
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: this was the best in all three phases game that

232
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: this team.

233
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: I mean the Colts of every single one of their

234
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: seven wins has been by one possession. Yeah, And I

235
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: think that that's kind of become this telling stat of

236
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: you can convince yourself early in the year that that's

237
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: a good thing, that hey, you're able to win these

238
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: close games, and that's something we can really lean on.

239
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: But when you get down to the end of it,

240
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 3: if you haven't won a game by more than a score,

241
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: and it's hard, it's really hard to win a game

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: in the NFL by more than one score. I want

243
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: to preface it by saying that. But to not do

244
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: that this year, and you still have a chance against

245
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: the Jags in Week eighteen, but to not do that

246
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: in a game that mattered for the playoff race, I

247
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: think is it goes to your point of just you

248
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: never really played that complimentary football that you know. This

249
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: is something Shane Steiken talked about yesterday. We just we

250
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: haven't played a complimentary game this year, and I think

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: that is one thing that shows it. Just you haven't

252
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: won a game by more than six points this season.

253
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: The points, defensive breakdown, special teams breakdown. We saw that

254
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: to open up the second half. That's not a good way.

255
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: You know, we lost the turnover battle in this But guys,

256
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: I do want to find some bright spots here. And

257
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: though I think for the whole matter whether he goes

258
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: next week or whether he sits behind whoever plays quarterback

259
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: next week, I thought Joe Flacco came in here a

260
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: one year contract, like he did a one year gig,

261
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: and did the best that he could and had some

262
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: bright spots. And yesterday I'm sorry, guys, this is the NFL.

263
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: You know it better than anybody. You throw up thirty

264
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: three points, you finished with three hundred and thirty yards,

265
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: two tds, the two interceptions though that he was and

266
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: you have two receivers that have one hundred yards in reception.

267
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: Got to run.

268
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 5: It's a winning effort, yes, and running back that should

269
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 5: be a win.

270
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: That should be a win.

271
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: But we can guess. Really the turnovers weren't what killed.

272
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: You, right exactly, so like the bright spot at the

273
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: quarterback position right now for yesterday, speaking good on you, Joe,

274
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: I mean you did what you had to do. Obviously,

275
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: we don't like the two picks. We didn't have Anthony

276
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: richardson there.

277
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: One of those picks is also in like desperation, right

278
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: it was you know that I'll give him one. Yeah, really,

279
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'd give himself both, but like I'll give

280
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: him the one. Sure where he overthrew in the Belton

281
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: the safety made that great play. But other than that,

282
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought he played about as good of

283
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: a game as you can expect a backup quarterback to play.

284
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: And the stats were there for the specialists. The stats

285
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: were there for Jonathan. We saw JT.

286
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: It wasn't you know, he hasn't had that many carries

287
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: for that little last yards, but it's still one hundred

288
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: and twenty five. He did, you know, two receivers with

289
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: over one hundred, like we saw Kyler Grant the first time,

290
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: big catches thirty some yards and stuff. I mean it

291
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: was an offensive output that does not spell defeat.

292
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 4: The first time the Colts have had in the same

293
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 4: game a one hundred yard rusher and two one hundred

294
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: yard receivers.

295
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: Since do you know, Oh that is good?

296
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: Since what to one season a rusher? Let's go back to.

297
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the decade of greatness. Let's go

298
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: back to Peyton with with Reg with either stokely Reg

299
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: Harrison and either a die or eddern.

300
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: You've you've got it, oh five two thousand and five,

301
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: Drin Marvin and Reggie Week nine against the New England Patriots.

302
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: So there's promise there that you see from this offense

303
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: and the weapons that you are And the thing is,

304
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 4: those are your guys moving forward, right, These are guys

305
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: who are going to be part of this plan building

306
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: in the off season.

307
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: I think, like when we are able to take a

308
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: full step back from this season and really kind of

309
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: take a more sober analysis of this team, I think

310
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: the one guy who I'm going to keep coming back

311
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: to is Alec Pierce. The season he's had and the

312
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: strides he has made. That dude, Like, I think it's

313
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: become clear to me that we knew we always had

314
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: this in him, but he needed an offense that would

315
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: give him a chance to do it. And you know,

316
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: last year with Gardner, it was a lot of RPOs

317
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: and that's not what his specialty is. And it worked.

318
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was a bad plan. It was

319
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: the right plan for the last year's team. But this year,

320
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: with quarterbacks who are going to push it downfield more,

321
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: you're seeing him. I mean, like Flacco just drops back

322
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: and it's like, all right, forty five fifty yards down,

323
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: feelish to see if Al can go make a play

324
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 3: and he does. The contested catches he's making in the

325
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: end zone on some of those drag routes are like

326
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: very very impressive plays. I think for my money, I

327
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: might say he's made the biggest leap of any colts

328
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: player this year, and that is really encouraging if you

329
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: look at it too. He right now, if the season

330
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: ended today, which it doesn't, he would become the first

331
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: player since DeShawn Jackson in twenty ten to average at

332
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: least twenty one yards per catch on thirty five or

333
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: more catches.

334
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: It's nice, Oh, I love it to Shawn Jackson.

335
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually Mike Wallace to remember him break downfield

336
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: threat for the Steelers. He also did that in twenty ten.

337
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: So what the season we've seen from Alec Pearce has

338
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: been straight up impressive, straight up good, straight up and

339
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: encouraging thing for this Colts team going forward. I don't

340
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: no one, We're not We're not into the like, oh,

341
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: let's talk about encouraging the twenty twenty five. Yeah, but

342
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: like again, that's what I'm saying when I when I

343
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: really take a look at this, I think I'm gonna

344
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: keep going back.

345
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: To, oh yeah, he showed out.

346
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: I mean, well, and.

347
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: Hey, let's let's get another game like that this week too.

348
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 5: You know, let's see it again.

349
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what he needs for it, but there's

350
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: a good chance that if he has call it, five

351
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: catches for one hundred yards, that he's going to wind

352
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: up leading the NFL in yards perception. Right right now,

353
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: he's one catch off the pace of being qualified.

354
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: And one of the things that I was talking with

355
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: Alec about because he's our guest this week on Colt

356
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: Sore sixty, was how he established the rapport with both

357
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: Anthony and Joe to be so productive and effective with

358
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: each of them, because we saw week one it was

359
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: the sixty plus yard bomb, beautiful ball Anthony, you know,

360
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: off the back foot throwing to Alec, hitting him in

361
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: the end zone. And then in week six the game

362
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 4: at Jacksonville when Joe comes in, he goes for over

363
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: one hundred yards in the fourth quarter on three receptions

364
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: with a touchdown.

365
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 5: On the comeback.

366
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: And so just I think that one of the things

367
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: that is impressive too about Alec is the variety of

368
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 4: different quarterbacks that he's worked with now over the course

369
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: of his ten and in particular this season, had that

370
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: type of production that you look to. And he just

371
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: said he tries to come in with the same just

372
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 4: with consistency every day, just tries to be consistent in

373
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 4: order to gain the trust of whoever it is that's

374
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 4: under center. And he said that the two guys who

375
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: have really helped him in terms of the growth that

376
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: we have seen, the consistent downfield threat that he has emerged,

377
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: as he said, it's Reggie and it's Pitt. Those are

378
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: the two guys who have reiterated their confidence over and over,

379
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 4: you know, in him and what.

380
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 5: He can do. And hey, all right, let's get one

381
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 5: more of those type of games out of you. At

382
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: Lucas Soil Stadium to close out the air.

383
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: Hey, the good news, you know, as far as we'll

384
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: find the good from this game, believe you me. As

385
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: we talked about Michael Pittman Junior obviously had a great afternoon,

386
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor a great afternoon. And then like on the

387
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: flip side, like finding the good in this thing is

388
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: is Malik Neighbors had a career day, had a career.

389
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: Day and it's a really good play.

390
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just show it's a really good He's had

391
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: a quarterback carousel as well out there and he's already

392
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: in one year. Yeah, he's a great player. Showed what

393
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: he meant to the Giants yesterday and stuff like this.

394
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 2: But I want to tip my hat to a kid

395
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: that you know is my Alec Pierce of the defense

396
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 2: and I would call Jalen Jones and what we have

397
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: the future looking like for that young man and the

398
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: way he plays and you know he's got ding for

399
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: a couple of pis and stuff like that. But boy,

400
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 2: he's a tough, tough guy. He's a long guy, big stretch,

401
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: long arm, and I think he's one of those guys

402
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: that is gonna be here for a while and I

403
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: think he's one of those guys that we're gonna have

404
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: to build on from twenty five and beyond.

405
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 3: He's a good football player, YEA, a guy who has

406
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: absolutely earned a, you know, a role on this team,

407
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: hopefully a starting role in this team next year. The

408
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: thing I will say, though, and this isn't about Jalen

409
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: Jones and this isn't about Alec Pierce. This is whenever

410
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 3: you have a season that ends in disappointment, like this

411
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: cult season is going to end in, I think you

412
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: kind of have to operate like there will be changes,

413
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: and that's something that players have talked about. You know,

414
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: everyone kind of knows. Jonathan Taylor, I thought, was really

415
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: eloquent talking about it after the game about how you

416
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: know they're going to be changes. To Forrest Buckner said,

417
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: there're gonna be changes. It's gonna be coomfortable. But I

418
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 3: think that is what kind of has to happen. You

419
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: have to take a look at everything. I think when

420
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 3: you do take a look at everything, you're gonna look

421
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: at Jalen Jones and say that's a good player. He's

422
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: made a lot of improvement this year. We think he

423
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: can continue to trend up. I just I think to

424
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 3: kind of start projecting out on a lot of players

425
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: here is sort of like, well, where where are the

426
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: Colts going to get better in twenty twenty five? And

427
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: I think it can come from guys internally being better,

428
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: It can come from guys coming in externally, It can

429
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 3: come from a lot of different places and avenues. But

430
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: whatever it looks like, however it's done, it has to

431
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: be better because right now. And Jonathan Taylor again, I

432
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 3: thought he had another really really smart thing after the

433
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: game or he talked about the standard for this team

434
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 3: needs to be winning or making the playoffs. But to

435
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: make the to make that the standard, you got to

436
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, and we haven't done that. And he

437
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: was pretty passionate. He's like, the standard for being an

438
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colt is that you got to be in the

439
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: playoffs every year. But the Colts haven't made the playoffs

440
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: now and since twenty twenty And you can't establish that

441
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: standard until you do it. And the Colts just haven't

442
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: been able to do it.

443
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: And the only constant is changed, right.

444
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: You talked about it the season ending in disappointment, Well,

445
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: it ends in disappointment for everyone except for one team, right,

446
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: except for the Super Bowl champions, And even when you

447
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: are a super Bowl champion, there are changes that happen

448
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: within that roster, right with everything that goes on and

449
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: with your comments regarding Jonathan Pitt touched on that Sunday

450
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 4: after the game as well. He said, you know, the

451
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: first season I was here, we did make the playoffs,

452
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 4: and I just thought that was, you.

453
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 5: Know, commonplace, he said, I'm going to like, I just

454
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: thought we'd do it every year.

455
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 4: That was a little bit taken for granted, and that

456
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 4: was the expectation. And then you haven't been able to

457
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 4: match that since that game in twenty twenty when you

458
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: went to Buffalo and.

459
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 5: Pitt said, he's like, we've got to do something different.

460
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: I do think the like you're right, layer, Like every

461
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: thirty one teams on the season with disappointment, it's different

462
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 3: levels and it's like different, very right, Like, obviously you

463
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: lose the super Bowl, you're like, oh man, we were

464
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 3: we were close, right, hell hell of a year. But

465
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: you know that's gonna stick with us losing the super Bowl.

466
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: But if you lose the super Bowl, you're losing it

467
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: to the best team in the NFL. The level the

468
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: Colts are at is you lost your shot at the playoffs,

469
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: losing to a team that going into that week was

470
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: the worst team in the NFL. And you know that

471
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: that's a tough pill to swallow when it's that that's

472
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: how you go out right as opposed to like how

473
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: we got beat by a better team. Yeah, like yeah,

474
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: you know the giants of players too. Malik Neighbors, like

475
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 3: we mentioned, is an awesome football player. He's a superstar

476
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 3: already in this league. They got, you know, Wandale Robinson's

477
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 3: a really good player. Brian Burns cave that guys impossible

478
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: on third down.

479
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, like the I mean the.

480
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: Tackles he broke, like second, third, fourth effort by that guy, right,

481
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 4: So you give them credit.

482
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 3: But I think if you look at these two rosters,

483
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: the Colts have more talent, and that is what I

484
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: think makes it so difficult for those guys to kind

485
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 3: of digest, is like we should have beat that team

486
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: and now you got to sit there. And that's the

487
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: same thing in twenty twenty one with the Jacks, where

488
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: we you know, Colts had more talent than that team,

489
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 3: but they didn't show it that day and it didn't

490
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: matter because they lost. That I think is where this

491
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: disappointment really is gonna It's gonna stick.

492
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will stick for a while. Guys, I want

493
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: to ask you about something that happened. We talked about

494
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: this in the offseason. You got close with them, find

495
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: out some tidbits about him off the field and stuff.

496
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: But let's just come out with it. Let's just talk

497
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: about it.

498
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: Thirty three quarterback sacks this year with one game to go.

499
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: Last year set a club record with fifty one. Charlie

500
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Partchers comes in in his first year.

501
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: You know, Chris Ballard.

502
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: Said from day one when he was ballad here offensive line,

503
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: defensive lines where you win lose football.

504
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: Games, build through the trenches.

505
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: Right, That's it.

506
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: That's it.

507
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: So how can that drop off be either I'm going

508
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: to you on this, but I want to start with Lara.

509
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: Quarterback pressures are a thing we talked about. It wasn't

510
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: there last year. Maybe it is this year. We'll find

511
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: out from JJ. But I'm saying, from from fifty one

512
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: last year to thirty three with one game.

513
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: Left, what is that?

514
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: Because the personal has been there, and on top of that,

515
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: you take that sixteenth overall pick leatu Lato Latu and

516
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: you throw him in that room as well.

517
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 4: Lara, Man, that's a loaded question. You're really throwing it

518
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: at me, you know, I do. I do want to mention.

519
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 4: Of course you sorely missed, and I think people may

520
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: have overlooked when Samson Ebicom sustained that injury.

521
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: And that is significant.

522
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 4: That is your that's your leading sack guy from last season.

523
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: You know what, Jeffrey, I don't know. I don't know

524
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 5: if it's an effort thing because we injury come in.

525
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 5: Get what we've seen.

526
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: I've watched so many situations in which in which you're

527
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 4: rushing and you're sending guys and they get close and

528
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 4: it's almost just whiffs, you know, on quarterbacks, and it

529
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 4: just does not seem like this unit collectively is playing

530
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 4: as fast as maybe they previously have.

531
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the numbers in this case, I think are telling.

532
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: Colts are thirtieth in the NFL and pressure rate twenty

533
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: eight point eight percent of opponent dropbacks. Now there's context there.

534
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: Some of the context is the Colts have not maybe

535
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: had as many opportunities to rush the passer in advantageous

536
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 3: down in distant situations because they've been giving up a

537
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 3: ton of yards on the ground, and you're letting teams

538
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: get into those situations. Or you know, it's second and

539
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: ten and you complete a six yard pass to a

540
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: tight end and all of a sudden, third and four

541
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: is a lot different than third and eight, So you

542
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 3: maybe didn't have as many of those, which then magnifies

543
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: these situations you do get on third and fourteen where

544
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: you're not able to get a pass rush. I think

545
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: teams have got the ball out quicker on the Colts

546
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: this year, just kind of anecdotally, that's been a focus.

547
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: So you know, you've seen a lot of the Giants

548
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: did at all the time. This quick pass system e

549
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: league neighbors where you don't have time to get home

550
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: on a pass rush. So there is some context to

551
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: that number. But being thirtieth is that that's tough, that

552
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: that's really hard to win. You look at the other

553
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: teams that are the culture down there with it's the Panthers,

554
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: the Patriots, got the Falcons. There a team that might

555
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, the Titans, the Jaguars, the Cardinals.

556
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: The quarterback pressures bottom of the league, Yeah.

557
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: The bottom bottom pressure r.

558
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: Very telling stat of flowers who goes, but hey, more answers.

559
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm just gonna'm gona throw. They talked

560
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 5: about injuries, like think about you did have to Forest.

561
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: Missed a lot of time.

562
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is that is something that I would

563
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: consider pretty significant immigrants game.

564
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 5: Absolutely not to make excuses.

565
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: I just think that those are like, I don't know

566
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 4: how any more we can attempt to, you know, iterate

567
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 4: the importance of DeForest Buckner and the influence that he

568
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: makes when he is there up front.

569
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 5: But I think that you know, the time that you

570
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 5: miss him, you sorely, you know, missed him.

571
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: The other thing, too, is like I don't want to

572
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 3: make pressure rate out to be this thing that's like

573
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: the deciding factor. The team that's number one in pressure

574
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: right this year is a Cleveland Browns and they might

575
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: get the number one overall pick.

576
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 5: Really yeah, so is that just Miles Garrett? That is

577
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 5: I mean, that's like.

578
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: It's having the best defensive player on the But you know,

579
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: I mean you look there at the fifth in pressure

580
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 3: rate is the Chicago Bears, team that doesn't won in

581
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: ten games. You've got the New York Jets at eighth.

582
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 3: They're a team that's having a season from hell. So

583
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: it's not it doesn't guarantee you success, but I do

584
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: think it's it's a decent enough marker of if you

585
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 3: get after the quarterback consistently, you're gonna have You're gonna

586
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: just have a better chance to win. And that doesn't

587
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: necessarily mean that your front is failing to get after

588
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: the quarterback all the time. It could be, hey, teams

589
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: are scheming you out of it, They're they're put in

590
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: committing extra bodies to it. They're not in these third

591
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: and longs where you can really pin your ears back

592
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: and get after the quarterback. So there are a lot

593
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: of other factors that do go into it.

594
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, guys, the fan base and social media

595
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: is talking quite a bit. We've heard and read and

596
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: seen what everyone's saying over this whole thing. And obviously

597
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 2: not playing for the playoffs this year puts us in

598
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: that you know sort of thing. But I want to say, like,

599
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: like that game against Jacksonville, A lot of people roll

600
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 2: their eyes and stuff like that when you talk about that,

601
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: But I just want you guys to compound on them

602
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: with this with me on this, that's an important game.

603
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: This Jacksonville Jaguars game coming up is an important game,

604
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: not only for players on the field, but for coachers,

605
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: coaching staff, everybody and the morale of this team going

606
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: into the next year. I know, you know, I'm searching,

607
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: We're searching for stuff to grab at now. But I'm sorry, guys,

608
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: you got to end on a positive note, and especially

609
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: the future being bright here, young quarterback in the building,

610
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But you have to go take

611
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: care of business and this one in that matter. I'm

612
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: sorry if it's just me, this is a hugely important

613
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: game for a lot of men in that locker room.

614
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: I asked coach Stichen about this because they said, Shane,

615
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: you have reiterated importance on finishing in so many scenarios

616
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: of the course of the season, talking about, you know,

617
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: finishing on tackles, finishing in the red zone, settling you know,

618
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: go or getting touchdowns, not settling for field goals and situations,

619
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 4: you know, finishing the first half of games, finishing the

620
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 4: fourth quarter of games. I said, how important is it

621
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: to finish this season with a win? And that's what

622
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: he said to just finishing and having a positive note

623
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: to end on.

624
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 5: You know, although the playoff.

625
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: All the playoffs you know, aren't an opportunity, aren't to

626
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: possibility any longer. Still, just the tone of finishing on

627
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: a win collectively, you know, at least kind of improves.

628
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: Certainly it's not gonna you know, overcome the disappointment necessarily

629
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 4: that you're feeling, but it is certainly going to make

630
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: you feel a heck of a lot better. And you know,

631
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 4: with a division win at home, all of those things

632
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 4: can really help, just in terms of the morale that's

633
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 4: within this locker room before again this team departs and

634
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: know it will never be that same group together.

635
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: I think sometimes the thing that we lose sight of

636
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: when we're talking about this and this is kind of

637
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: like collectively just people who are employed to talk and

638
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: write and you know, do these things about football players,

639
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: is like how special it is for these guys to

640
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: play in a game, to play in an NFL game

641
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: and to go out there. You know, like Ryan Kelly,

642
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: I think, talked about it, like, you know, he was

643
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: asked like, you know, if this is the end of

644
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: your career at the Cult, he's going to be a

645
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 3: free agent after this year, Like what are you going

646
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: to miss? And he kind of got choked up. He

647
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: talked about just like being out there with the guys

648
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: and like that is so meaningful to a lot of

649
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: players on this football team, that opportunity to go out

650
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: and do it. And I don't want to discount that

651
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: in the least bit. This game has no implications on

652
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs. You can write it off and say it

653
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, But there are gonna be a lot of

654
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: guys who are going to take that field on Sunday

655
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: and this game is going to matter to them, and

656
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 3: that is how you finish the season. It's not necessarily

657
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: about getting certain stats, although you know for Zire Franklin

658
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: it I think it matters and it should matter. That

659
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: he leads the league in tackles. That is an accomplishment

660
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: that he can look back on at the end of

661
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: his career and say I led the NFL in tackles.

662
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: That's a big deal. Alec Pierce could look back on

663
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: this year and say I led the NFL in yards

664
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: per reception. That is an accomplishment. That is something that

665
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: you should celebrate. But I think more than anything, it's

666
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: just you get to celebrate being a football player and

667
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 3: this game it might again you might feel like it

668
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: should be a letdown for these guys. But I do

669
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: think there are enough veterans and pros in that locker

670
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: room who are going to go out there and they

671
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: are going to play like the stakes are as high

672
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: as possible and give it the effort because they love

673
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 3: what they do and they love playing football. They love

674
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 3: playing with these guys on this team, and I do

675
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: think that matters, and we absolutely should not lose sight

676
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: of that.

677
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 5: And the way in which they respond this week.

678
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: What you see out of guys this week in how

679
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: they prepare and how they treat this game will tell

680
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 4: you a whole lot of those are the guys you

681
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 4: want to bring back and you want to build upon

682
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 4: for the future or not.

683
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 5: That tells you everything.

684
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: So I did this story in twenty twenty two, and

685
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: to me, it's like one that's just it's gonna be

686
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: lodged in my brain as long as I cover the NFL.

687
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: I talked to Ryan Kelly, DeForest Buckner, some of the

688
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: guys on the team in late December about like what

689
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: are you still put in your body through? You know,

690
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: I talked to Paris Campbell for it, like what are

691
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: you still put your body through? And they all told me,

692
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: like to a man, you cannot like, you cannot not

693
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: take it seriously because if you go take the field

694
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday and you didn't do everything you could to

695
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: get ready to play, you are doing yourself a disservice.

696
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: You're doing your teammates a disservice. It's gonna lead to

697
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: only bad things for you. So there's only one way

698
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: to go about playing in the NFL, and it's doing

699
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: it the right way and doing everything you can. And

700
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: I think those same guys, you know, you're Buckner's, you're

701
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: Kelly's or Quinton Nelson's, who, by the way, is having

702
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: an awesome football season. You want to talk about bright

703
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: spots on this team, Q is, Hey, he's had one

704
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: of his best seasons in Indiana. Lessen my money, Oh,

705
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: no question, but that there there are there are a

706
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: lot of pros in that locker room who I think

707
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 3: this is this is the week to step up and

708
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: show a lot of There are a lot of young

709
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: guys on this team who maybe have never experienced something

710
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: like this before. And in those guys to step up

711
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: and show them, hey, this is the last week of

712
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: the year. We still prepare, We still go practice hard,

713
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 3: We still go out and do all the little things

714
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: right to go play. I do think that's important for

715
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: this football game, no.

716
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: More important in the quarterback position. Larrea. I'll start with you.

717
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: In your eyes, what's a successful offseason look like for

718
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson? What what does that look like in your eyes?

719
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: Preparing for his third year in the NFL as a starter,

720
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: uh in this league? What what does that look like

721
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: for you? And I know we've we we haven't had

722
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: much to look at it. You know, he's been injured

723
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: and whatnot, so coming off injury. So, but what does

724
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: it look like for you?

725
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 4: I think developing a continued chemistry with the pass catchers

726
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 4: within this offense, doing what it takes to get time

727
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: with those guys. It's working out with guys individually, it's

728
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: working out with those guys collectively, finding a way to

729
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: get on the same page with those guys because there

730
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 4: have just been too many situations where you have drops

731
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: and miscues, miscommunication and critical situations that all of those

732
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: guys collectively have to find out, you know, have to

733
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: be on the same page. That's what you got to

734
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: use this time to do. And I don't just mean

735
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: spending time.

736
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 5: On the field together.

737
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: You guys got to like go out to dinner together,

738
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: maybe you know, you go, you get out and you

739
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 4: just learn about each other and you have to find

740
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 4: that connection. I mean, I think that that's one of

741
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 4: the things that you see about great teams and great

742
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: offenses is that they have a dynamic in which you

743
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 4: know exactly what you're gonna get out of each and

744
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 4: every guy week in and week out, and there is

745
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: a level of I'm gonna give my all for this

746
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 4: quarterback out there. I have complete faith, complete trust, you know,

747
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 4: in this guy, and I'm going to make sure that

748
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: I'm getting in the exact right spot. I know my

749
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 4: exact route he can on me. I'm going to make

750
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: sure that if he targets and comes my way, I'm

751
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: going to be there for him. I'm going to make

752
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 4: that grab. You've got to establish for me that level

753
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 4: of cohesiveness and continuity across the offense, kind of starting

754
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 4: with your quarterback.

755
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: I think it's just going to be important that you know,

756
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: hopefully Anthony can head into this offseason healthy. You know

757
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: that he didn't have that last year he his rookie year.

758
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 3: You know, you're going through combine and pro days and

759
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 3: thirty visits and all that, and your head's spinning and

760
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: then you show up and here's this gigantic playbook. Go

761
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: learn it. I think like an off season where you know,

762
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: and he's still dealing with the back spasms. We'll kind

763
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: of see what his availability is this week. But if

764
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: he can go have a full, healthy off season, I

765
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 3: do think that will benefit him. Yeah, in twenty twenty five, heasm,

766
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

767
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: Backspasm has been a touchy word around here for a thing.

768
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: I just want to say this. I, as I've said before,

769
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: preface it. I am not in an extreme athlete, but

770
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: at over fifty years old, I have backspasms in about

771
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: two or three times a year, and they're all mobilizing Guys.

772
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: When I say I'm mobilizing, I mean you can't move.

773
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: You're walking good and everything. You feel a little twinge

774
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he goes zoop and you're like, oh,

775
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: I can't bend down, I can't take a step, I

776
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: can't do anything like.

777
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: That's a backspasm.

778
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: So for the young man's sake, I'm just gonna say

779
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: I've been around the other half as a guy up

780
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 2: in the bleachers, but not as an elite athlete. But

781
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: backspasms they're not something to score around with.

782
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: I just think continuity is going to be so important

783
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 4: because there has been so much stop and start for

784
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 4: this offense with you know, guys who have been in

785
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 4: and out of the rotation. I think it's really been

786
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: difficult to know exactly what this offensive identity is and

787
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: can be and for them to develop a lot just

788
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 4: because that group has not been on the field together

789
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 4: nearly enough this season.

790
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 5: So to me, it's continuity. It's chemistry among.

791
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 4: The quarterback and those past catchers. And they did do

792
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 4: work last offseason. That's not to say this would be

793
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: something novel, right, We know that they got together. You

794
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: know last year, they had some time together, you know,

795
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 4: in different places and all of that. But you've got

796
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 4: to do it and to a different degree, differentferent level,

797
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: with a different intention this year.

798
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: Well, definitely disappointed. Obviously, you Colts fans and followers of

799
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 2: the NFL can understand our disappointment. Once again, I started

800
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: this podcast by saying, morning, good morning, but it's not

801
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: a good morning.

802
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: It's morning with a U.

803
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: But if you're gonna celebrate these mornings with us. You're

804
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: also gonna celebrate the wins and championships with us, So

805
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: thank you for being here, guys. I just wanted to

806
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 2: say I appreciate you guys doing this coming in answering

807
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: hard questions on this stuff. We're gonna keep it short

808
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: this week. We're gonna go out there and get a

809
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 2: win against the Jacksonville Jaguars and find out what offseason

810
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 2: moves it will be in the hamper around.

811
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: The corner, because you know they'll be happening.

812
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: Whether that's pro personnel with the player, whether it's coaching staff,

813
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: does not matter. Every year in the NFL there is

814
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: some changeover. We're gonna bring you the latest on that.

815
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: But Jacksonville Jaguars is the next thing up. And that's

816
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 2: where I want to keep this one at. Is to

817
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 2: stay positive and go into the offseason with a victory

818
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: against the team that you're better than.

819
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we'll have everything covered in the off season,

820
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 3: and then we'll have everything yet. Yeah, the regular season

821
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: may end, but our content yeah doesn't.

822
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 5: Say Hey, somebody just have an answer for Brian Thomas.

823
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: Yep, great one, because again, and I'm not I'm not

824
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: taking another real good t and off on a Thomas. Yeah,

825
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: really good player, But it just seems like in this

826
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 2: in this darn offense, when they have the superior athletes

827
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: like the Mileage Neighbors out there and the Josh Jacobs

828
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: out there of the you know, their best players are

829
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: having their best games against this defense, that needs to stop.

830
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: That sort of thing needs to stop. So once again,

831
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: if you could say it once again, the game plan against.

832
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 5: The Jaguars is stop Brian Thomas.

833
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: There, it is stop Bryan Thomas, the number one draft

834
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: choice out of LSU guys.

835
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: Anything in closing here, can I throw just one kind

836

Speaker 5: AT's shocking. I like a goal. I like it shall.

867
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 5: I like to have like a little list at the

868
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 5: end of every year. I do a list of so

869
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 5: this year, twenty four things for.

870
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,440

871
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 4: kind of things that reflect upon positively, and then twenty

872
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: five goals for the upcoming year.

873
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 5: That's great, twenty five. So it's a little bit.

874
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: That's very thorough.

875
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: That's very thorough.

876
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's very thorough.

877
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm saying that is because my fiance

878
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: just last night. Yeah, we're talking about resolutions in twenty

879
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: twenty five, and we just kind of came onto it

880
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 2: and said, to heck with the resolutions, what are we.

881
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: Going to do to get better?

882
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 4: I like that?

883
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: So that's what we did. We threw some off of

884
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: each other.

885
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: And it's TBD because we still got some time before

886
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: the new year comes in. Yes, we said, hey, what

887
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 2: are we going to do different to get better? So

888
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 2: that's what our list is, and hopefully in a few

889
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty five shows coming up, I'll tell
