00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: happened last week.

Speaker 3: I got to be personal here and I want to.

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Spread it out to you guys. I didn't go to Baltimore.

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: I had weather conditions that you were.

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: Grounded, not in like the way that your mom did,

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: exc Mam mcgarian did when you were twelve.

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: After far Made we went out to mister Ersay had

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: a little thing out there, and then the planes got

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: shut down because of weather.

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 3: We were going to go the next day.

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: High winds had come up in the morning, then it

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: was shut down, so it was different for me. And

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: I see you guys at every game, not this one.

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: So guys, obviously we know what happened. That's a feel

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 2: good win. And I bring up win Las Vegas because

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: Las Vegas said before they kicked off eight and a

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: half point favorites, eight great and a half point favorites,

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: and to do what the Colts did in Baltimore in

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: the way in the inclement weather as well.

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: JJ, I'll start with you.

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: Hold on, I just have to explain myself because people

35
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: who tuned in probably saw me like wiping wear tears

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Start on YouTube.

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

38
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: That's because Jeffrey began this by saying the official Colts

39
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: cod Con past and then he turned it into Codpeace

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: cod Pen.

41
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: Wait.

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: Also, yeah, I want to go in a different direction.

43
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: I want to know how far Maid was because it

44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: looked it was. I mean, as as bad as the

45
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: weather conditions were on the East Coast, it was an

46
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: absolutely impeccable Indiana weekend around here for an out perfect weather.

47
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: ERSA band was up there, they played Margot Price was

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: there Nathaniel right lift, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: with the surprise thing.

50
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: Why it was really.

51
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: You'll never see these people in this one place again,

52
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: in my opinion. That's why I was watching Neil Young

53
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: walk by me and see Willie in the background over there,

54
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: and then watching Bob Dylan.

55
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, we won't see these cats around.

56
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Willy's ninety two or something like that, Dylan's

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: eighty something like that.

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: Neil Young is up there. So it really was a

59
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: special weekend.

60
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: But it was packed and Indiana loves their music, and

61
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: they raised a million, well over a million bucks with

62
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: the help of Jim Mersey for the second year in

63
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: a row giving a million to the farmers.

64
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: So there's your answer. It was awesome.

65
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: I don't know where it'll be next year, but if

66
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: you ever have a chance to go to farm may

67
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: do it quickly because they're getting up there. Number one,

68
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: but number two, it was just an incredible one, which

69
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: I thought was going to dovetail right into getting on

70
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the plane, getting out of there, going to Baltimore and

71
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: seeing the scene, but the weather came in, so I

72
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: was a little bit iffy on this.

73
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: Scene going down for you.

74
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. But I hats off to you know, everybody.

75
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: I got to start with you guys because we were

76
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: so so I did do the backflips watching this game

77
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: on television. But there were so many key plays, key

78
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 2: times that the things that happened, jaj, I'm gonna start

79
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: with you. What stood out after like one half of

80
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: play saying, hey, we are going to dogfight right now

81
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: with these guys and we're slugging right back at them.

82
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Here's the play that's stuck out to me was Kyle

83
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Hamilton comes off the edge, he hits Gardner Minshew, ball

84
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: comes out, and the Ravens Jeremiah Moon, they're outside linebacker,

85
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: gets his hands on the ball. The next thing that

86
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: happens is Quintin Nelson comes screaming in there and knocks

87
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: that ball back out. Michael Pittman sprints about twenty yards

88
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: from where he was running his route to go get

89
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: that ball. Gardner Mitschew dives back in there. If the

90
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Ravens recover that ball, they probably they could. They could

91
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: have got a touch on it. They could have ran

92
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: that thing back.

93
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: In the define three points, but we just don't.

94
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: It's with forty two seconds to go in the first half.

95
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Minimum they probably get a field goal and all of

96
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're talking about a ten to ten game

97
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: at halftime, momentum shifts back to Baltimore going into half

98
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the effort the Colts gave on that play when Shane

99
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: stiken talks about being relentless, that's the play right there.

100
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: That play the play that could have been the worst

101
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: play of the game.

102
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: And it wasn't. Yeah, I mean it wasn't.

103
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Good, but you know what they made sure it wasn't

104
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: a disaster. Quentin Nelson and Michael Pittman Junior did their

105
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: jobs on that play to fit what Shane Stikeen wants

106
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: out of his football team. That's what I thought about

107
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: in the first time.

108
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: Overall, Lara, I gotta ask you, we saw week one,

109
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: what is going on with the running game and no

110
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: running it last two weeks that's not the case. Obviously,

111
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: Hats off to Zack Moss, and there is a good

112
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 2: problem that's brewing here somewhere in this organization. With twenty

113
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: eight coming off the pupp list soon after Game four

114
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: and we're have Zack Moss. It's running like an offensive

115
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 2: player of the month.

116
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: Oh Zach Moss is an absolute beast out there. The

117
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: tenacity that he runs with is just incredible. There's one

118
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: particular highlight. I mean you can go to many of them.

119
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 4: The guy thirty carries in a game, so plenty highlights

120
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: that you could point to, including a receiving touchdown when

121
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: that's not exactly what you think about Zach Moss being

122
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: a pass catching back, right. But there's one particular play

123
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: that if you ISO on, it tells you absolutely everything

124
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: about the ferocity that Zach Moss plays with. And he

125
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 4: gets tackled, wrapped up, well I shouldn't he gets tackled. He

126
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: gets touched and wrapped up by Jadavian Clowney, pretty good

127
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: defensive player right there, flings him off and goes for

128
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: a massive gain. Beyond that, there were so many times

129
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: in that game where lesser backs would have been dead

130
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 4: to rights, TFLs or tackles at the line of scrimmage

131
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: that Zach Moss powers through for gains. And it is

132
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: kind of it mirrors a little bit of you know,

133
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: that relentlessness that you were talking about with Pitt and

134
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: Q that you saw in that particular play that is

135
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 4: infused into Zach Moss, and I think that that resonates

136
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: with every person on cross the offense when you watch

137
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: a guy just dragging bodies with him like that. Flip

138
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: side thinking about single plays early on, when all the

139
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: momentum was swinging the way of the Baltimore Ravens and

140
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: Juju Brents in his first regular season career NFL game,

141
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: gets a forced fumble fumble recovery. I believe Rodney Thomas

142
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: the second was in there as well in support that

143
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: completely flipped momentum in the colts favor. The Ravens could

144
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 4: have easily gone up double digits had that turnover not occurred.

145
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: So that's another point that I am going to stick

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: to as being pivotal. There were a lot of them.

147
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, think pivotal has to be kind

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: of isolated, But with as many major moments and all

149
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: of the ebbs and flows of that game, I think

150
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: there were a few critical key moments in there, and

151
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: I would consider Juju to be absolutely one of those.

152
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: What there are difference, Huh, There are so many of

153
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: those that you just kind of get lost because of

154
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: the way the game ended. But another one I thought

155
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: about and I wrote about this on Colts dot Com.

156
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson finally broke contain early in the third quarter.

157
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: The Colts rush got a little bit too far upfield

158
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: and he was able to get off and scramble. And

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: it was on second and twelve. Zire Franklin tackles Lamar

160
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Jackson one yard short of the sticks like he doesn't

161
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: give Lamar an extra inch on that tackle. And then

162
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: the next play it's third and one, Baltimore brings in

163
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: a six offensive lineman EJ. Speed comes right through the

164
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: b gap, drops Gus Edwards for a two yard lost.

165
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore's to punt a first down there, Ravens gets some

166
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: momentum going. That's their second first down of the drive.

167
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it turns out to be a different situation in

168
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: this game, but Zire Franklin and EJ. Speed, those two

169
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: plays that they made back to back again, those are

170
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna get lost in the course of a game where

171
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: the defenses on the field seventy two plays, right, But

172
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: we shouldn't lose sight of the game that those guys play.

173
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: What Zire Franklin's doing, La, I'm sorry to interrupt, it

174
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: is record breaking. He's on pace to set an NFL

175
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: record which brings me to physical, physical toughness with this

176
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: football team is a direct result of the new hire

177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: and Shane Stikeen.

178
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: I'm saying, if there are other teams around the league

179
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: that are.

180
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: Getting ready to play the Colts, those offensive and defensive

181
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: coordinators are going to say, hey, they're going to punch

182
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: you in the mouth, like this is a team that's

183
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: going to punch you in the mouth.

184
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: That's and we're trying to fight those coordinators too, because

185
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: did you see all of the chess match that was

186
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: happening right that was going on to the.

187
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: Other side of the field for the stike end.

188
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: This classic, you know, and they're trying to figure out

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: are they really going for it? We calling their bluff

190
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: or we're going to take a time out when we

191
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 4: do it? Are they going you know, delay a game

192
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: like all of these type of things, And so you're

193
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: putting a seated down right in everyone's heads with the

194
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: way that you are strategically approaching these games.

195
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: We'll come in on Mondays for the last couple of

196
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: years in JJ, I go by JJ's desk and he'll

197
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: usually throw a name out at me like, like you know,

198
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 2: I think last year is is iire last week? Is

199
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: iire Franklin? Huh yeah, just kind of lays that stuff

200
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: out there this week.

201
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: This week, which is yesterday, you go, Shane Stikeen.

202
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: Pretty good? Yeah, pretty good? So tell me what I mean.

203
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: We're talking about what we're liking with this guy, and

204
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: he's new. I mean, this is three games into his career.

205
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: But look, you're not alone. Everybody's going, hey, love what

206
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: Siching's doing.

207
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: So the Colt hired shanstike In, and Chris Ballard said

208
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: this in his press conference. We didn't hire Shane just

209
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: because of the offensive stuff. We didn't hire him just

210
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: to develop a quarterback. The Colts hired him. Yeah, that's

211
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: a good part of his resume. Certainly, the Colt hired

212
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: him because of the culture he would establish here. The

213
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: stuff he does schematically, with developing Anthony Richardson, with getting

214
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew in there and having him play at a

215
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: high level when he tags in, that's kind of icing

216
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: on the cake. The thing that separated Shane Stikeen in

217
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: this process was here's what i want this building to

218
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: look like. Here's what I want this team to look like.

219
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: Here's how I'm going to do it. And I talk

220
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: about the effort, that relentless effort that the Cults are

221
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: embodying on both sides of the ball. This team is

222
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: going to be one of the most physical teams every

223
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: team on the schedule plays this year. Whenever the Colts

224
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: are you come to Lucas Oil Stadium, or you face

225
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: this team at home, you're in for a sixty minute,

226
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: maybe seventy minute just brawl because this team plays so

227
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: physical and they don't let up. And that starts with

228
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: to me, Shane Steiken. Yeah, instilling that in this team,

229
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: that toughness, that attitude of we are not if we

230
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: lose a game, it's not going to be because we

231
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: weren't the toughest team on the field.

232
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: And props to him for this and Larry you can

233
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: We talked off season a lot of stuff. Hey, this scenario, Hey,

234
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 2: will Richardson be ready week one? Hey was he coming

235
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: in in week four? Is it going to be the

236
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: Minchew's year? And then he sits back kind of like

237
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: what happened with Mahomes in Kansas City. We talked about, Hey, Gardner,

238
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: Mitche's coming in. This isn't a guy that's going to

239
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: be do do mop up duty. This guy that can

240
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: win games Lo and Behold goes out and you know,

241
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: and does what he does basically with two wins on

242
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: his record right now. For Gardner Minshew, I'm saying, and

243
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: we have Anthony Richardson that is an most electric player

244
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL right now when he is on the field,

245
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: But I just want to take a minute for Gardner.

246
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: We've been a played him all off season through the

247
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: OTAs and now it's showtime and he's deliverate as usual.

248
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: Gardner is better than a lot of starters in the

249
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: league right now.

250
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: He's the talk of the trade. Everybody. Everybody's going, well,

251
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: go get Minshew, go get your jets, et cetera.

252
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure, and I don't. You can't give

253
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: an off you know what I mean. I don't think

254
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: there's anything that would entice you to do that because

255
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: he has proven his value here and not only because

256
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: of the results on the field, but also because you

257
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: see when he has stepped into a game, there is

258
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: zero panic within the offense. There is immense trust across

259
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 4: the offense when Gardner Minshew steps in because of yeah,

260
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: certainly they've had time together and all of that going

261
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: back to the spring, and we've talked about trading him

262
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: all that, but it also is just because how smart,

263
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: how savvy, how invested, how great of a pro, how

264
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: great of a teammate Gardner Minshew is, and he is

265
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: so wholly authentic. You know, I love that. You know,

266
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: people talk about but you know the Uncle Rico, you know,

267
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 4: kind of comparisons and you know all of kind of

268
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: his eccentricities and different things about him. But dude's a baller.

269
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 4: Dude is a football player. He loves ball and that's

270
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: what teammates love about him, in addition to the fact

271
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: that he's a great teammate, a constant teammates who celebrates

272
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: everybody else, never puts attention on himself, never seeks the

273
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 4: praise or anything like that, yet earns it because of

274
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: his dogged wortheck ethic and how he takes care of

275
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: the football and how that man takes hits like he

276
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: did off of Kyle Hamilton coming through just absolutely unblocked

277
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: and just pops right back up and goes right back

278
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: into fight. I mean, he's just he's incredible and he

279
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: does embody a lot of how you want this team

280
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: to play. But Gardner Minshew is a flat out dang

281
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: good quarterback.

282
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Hey, the bucket, and he threw it in the bucket

283
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: to Moss on the touchdown. An incredible play. So on

284
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: top of being a great leader and everything, kid's a gamer.

285
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean even you know, you think about all those

286
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: shots he took during the game to hit that throat

287
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: of Pittman where.

288
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: The epitome of toughness was in one play encapsulated there

289
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: by eleven.

290
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, Zach Moss on that throat

291
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: of Pittman on Patrick block, that play does not work

292
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: without Zach Moss picking up Patrick Queen who blitzed on

293
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure every single play in the game. Uh,

294
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: that play right there, that's another one where you're looking

295
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: at effort, relentlessness, the just the character even you know, hey,

296
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get this ball to Pittman downfield. And

297
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: that play didn't result in the Cults scoring points, but

298
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: it flipped the field and it gave the Cults momentum

299
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: and that. But like in overtime when things are kind

300
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: of getting to a slog, you know, no one was

301
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: really moving the ball a whole lot. That play right there,

302
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: that just that sparks something.

303
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: Momentum is one thing, but when his teammates are watching

304
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: that and his helmet's ripped off and he's like, wait

305
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: a minute, was I touched or not? I maybe I'm

306
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: concer I can still run. I mean, that's what his

307
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: mentality was after he caught that football. I'm saying momentum, yes,

308
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: but when his teammates are seeing that, they're getting fired up,

309
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: banging on the wall, saying, let's go.

310
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: If that kids playing that way, we're going to follow suit.

311
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: When you hear Zire Franklin on the sideline yelling, pitt

312
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: You're the tone setter, pitt You're the tone setter. He's

313
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: calling out to basically empower Michael Pittman to exactly set

314
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: the tone, establish what this team was going to be

315
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: in that overtime period in all three phases. Right, So

316
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: you may have heard that there was a team meeting

317
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: in which everyone was given kind of a role, a

318
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 4: nickname across the team, every single person, and Pitts is

319
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: tone setter slash enforcer because of his ability to do

320
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 4: exactly what you saw on Sunday, and he has taken

321
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: that to heart, and you saw that so perfectly illustrated

322
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: with that play last Sunday, and it truly did set

323
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: the tone. That's exactly what he did. When you see

324
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: the great throw by Gardner and then Pitts in double coverage.

325
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: And we have a director's cut coming this week that

326
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: you guys will absolutely want to see because we go

327
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: absolutely second by second of that play how it unfolded,

328
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: the reaction and everything. Michael Pittman could not see the

329
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: ball coming in because he had a hand and his

330
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: helmet covering his face and then another defender coming at him.

331
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: That was a play by feel, knowing where the ball

332
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: was coming in from Gardner and being able to as

333
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: much as he could anticipate exactly the ball placement, then

334
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: to come down with it, double clasp, roll over and

335
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: hold on to it when you had both of those

336
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: guys just absolutely you know, just shooting into you like missiles.

337
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: It was exact then everybody, I mean, I told, I

338
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: told Matt Taylor and Rick Venturi on the radio broadcast,

339
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: every single defensive guy if they weren't already standing in watching,

340
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: they were up off the bench. Those all of those

341
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: guys on defense were ready to go back right now.

342
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: They wanted that opportunity. All Right, we don't care if

343
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: you guys aren't gonna convert your no words. We've got

344
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 4: your back because when you see your top wide out

345
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: take a shot like that, come up with it, make

346
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: a play like that, you're absolutely gonna do everything that

347
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: you have to do to be sure your offense gets

348
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: another chance to win that game.

349
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Think think about the season Pits having so far, where

350
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: throw the stats out for just a second, but what

351
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: he's shown. He showed yack ability on the touchdown against

352
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville where he reached a top speed up I think

353
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: it was like nineteen miles an hour. And after the

354
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: game I asked him like, you know, was it nice

355
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: to like show the NFL again you can do that?

356
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: And he goes, yeah, for some reason, people think I'm slow.

357
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: And he's probably like because that's probably because my friends

358
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: have been like, you know, talking too much snacks. I

359
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: was like, well, it's definitely Desmond Patman's fault then that

360
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: people think you're slow, and he was like, yeah, it's

361
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: definitely does his fault. So he did that against Houston,

362
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: the block that he threw on Ar's second touchdown, where

363
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: like he had to hit that crackback block and he

364
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: us nailed it. Just physicality right there.

365
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: That's him. I mean, tone center right there. But I'm

366
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: gonna stay in.

367
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: That but real real quick. Then the fumble recovery with

368
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: Gardner and then that catch right when you talk about

369
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: Pitt being the enforcer in the tone center, those four

370
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: plays right there.

371
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: We know what Alec Pierce said. I mean, we know

372
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: what Alex Pearce has got. We understand.

373
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: I mean, like we're waiting.

374
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'm not saying anything we haven't talked about.

375
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: This guy is a talented, talented guy and had a

376
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: couple of big catches I believe three against the Ravens

377
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: that were all a bit but Josh Downes the rookie

378
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: in that different element in that wide receiver room, just

379
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: like you're saying, now, a different element. That's eight catches.

380
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: That's one of those weeks that he's saying, Hey, I'm here,

381
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: I'm in the NFL, and I'm gonna be a problem

382
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: for a while. I mean, that's what I got out

383
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: of note watching Number one do his thing.

384
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely love that added element that he brings and

385
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 4: some of the he allows you to bring a bit

386
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 4: of different like creativity into the mix, right, that allows

387
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 4: Shane Steichen and Jim Bob Cooter to utilize him in

388
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: different ways within the offense. And you know, the fact

389
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: that he is a rookie is one of those things

390
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: where when you're scheming against this offense, maybe you don't

391
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 4: exactly know how they're going to utilize him or the

392
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: various assets that he does contribute. But yeah, it doesn't

393
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: matter whether it's Anthony Richardson or it's Gardner Minshew in there,

394
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's going to be a top target week in

395
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: and week out.

396
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 2: A couple of false starts on the offensive line that

397
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: we like, a couple of those, But we talked a

398
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: lot about these toughness and big time players like Josh

399
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: Downs and I want you and I'm throwing it on

400
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: a table on a platter for you, Ryan Kelly out,

401
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Danny Pinner out, Wesley french In against the Baltimore Ravens

402
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: on the road, that tough defense tipped the hat to

403
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: the conditions.

404
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 4: Well, look at the bad snaps you saw from Lamar

405
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: Jackson Ravens. You know, look, they had a couple of

406
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: different issues there on ball security and snaps that caused

407
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: them in critical situation.

408
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens. The Colts ran eighty four offensive plays.

409
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Ravens blitzed on like eighty three

410
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: of them, right, right, And that's a lot that's on

411
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: the center. That's on the center in the quarterback to

412
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: get the protection right. Sometimes it wasn't right where Kyle

413
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Hamilton came in and he was unblocked. But when you

414
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: face as many blitzes as the Colts did for it

415
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: just to not be a disaster back there, how many

416
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: times in twenty twenty two did we see free runners

417
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: through the A gap or the B gap or off

418
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: the edge coming at Matt Ryan. And you can't operate

419
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: like that if you're not consistently picking it up. And

420
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: the Colts, for the most part, picked up those blitzes.

421
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: They got it right. Bernard Ryman, by the way, yes,

422
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: I said it at the start of the season. He

423
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: was my pick for breakout player on this podcast. And

424
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pat myself on the bat and

425
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: get back yet. We're three weeks in course, Yeah, but

426
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm doing. Okay, you got me.

427
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: What a season he's having so far.

428
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 3: You want to know why because we haven't talked about

429
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: him exactly.

430
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, nothing, Hey good, he played well, yeah,

431
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: he's not much pressure on the edge.

432
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: That's what we who.

433
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Also looks like himself is Quit Nelson. Quent Nelson is

434
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: destroying people out there. He is when he climbs to

435
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: the second level. My goodness. Fun to watch that.

436
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm telling you that size doing what he did.

437
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: Like we talked about the impactful play when he dove

438
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: and you know, cause to lose. I mean, that's incredible

439
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: coming from a three hundred and thirty pound guy like that.

440
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: That.

441
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, You're right. He is mauling people

442
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: this year. Maybe not so much last year, but you know,

443
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: things were different. There was a lot of different stuff

444
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: going on. And now the Shane Stike in offense just clicking.

445
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: This was just real quick something. A question that I

446
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: wanted to answer this year was were the Colts offensive

447
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: issues in twenty twenty two? Is that because they didn't

448
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: of the right personnel? Was that because the players weren't

449
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: good enough. I think what we're seeing early on in

450
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: this season is that it the players are good enough.

451
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: Last year more of you know, we're trending toward it

452
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: being kind of more of an anomaly on offense, and

453
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: that this team has really good players on offense. Pittman Q.

454
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: Guys like that who can set the tone be leaders

455
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: on this team. The talent seems to be plenty good takes.

456
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: It takes a year or two, they say for a

457
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: lot of these position players in the NFL like to

458
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: go from Like Pollion used to say, the edge rusher

459
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: will always take a huge step from year one to

460
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: year two. Well, when you talk about coordinators, Learra, the

461
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: same thing can go brought Gus Bradley. That's where I'm

462
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: trying to get you on this with a couple of

463
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: years and things getting, you know, more and more normal. Hey,

464
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: I've been here for some games. I realized how it

465
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: is the players are buying in right now. So I

466
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: want to talk about Gus Bradley a little bit and

467
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: what he did against Baltimore. But like we talked about

468
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we were rolling Wow Juju Brents,

469
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: like where you've been brother, Like this is a different

470
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: guy that idolizes the great Bob Sanders from Iowa and

471
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: had some moments out there in his first NFL action

472
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: like who I love tipping a hat to these guys

473
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: like this, but I'm taking my head off for that performance.

474
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: Well, I think too. You know, you saw Gus be

475
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 4: more aggressive than what we were used to seeing him

476
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: in that Baltimore.

477
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I got a stat for that, Yes, I gotta. I

478
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: got a stat for Brandt. Gus Bradley, the Colt splits

479
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: twenty one times in Week three, according to Pro Football Focus.

480
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: That is the most times a team coordinated or coached

481
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: by Gus Bradley has blitzed since twenty ten Week ten

482
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: of the twenty twent ten season, when he was the

483
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator.

484
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 4: And here's what I think that a bit of this

485
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 4: is an indication of how strong the rapport and how

486
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: much that Gus and Shane kind of lean into one

487
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: another because obviously these guys have history. They coached the

488
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: Chargers together. They overlapped there, and then Shane had the

489
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: decision to make. He could have retained Gus or you know,

490
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: went and sought a new defensive coordinator. He thinks so

491
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: highly of Gus, retains him and allows another year with

492
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 4: this defense to have their defensive coordinator, knowing how much

493
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 4: they would grow and one of the things I asked

494
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 4: Shane early on, I mean still early in the season,

495
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: but this was, you know, I think maybe week one,

496
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: how much of an advantage or asset it is to

497
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 4: have a defensive coordinator who knows the demand of the

498
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 4: head coach role too. Yes, and he just spoke about

499
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: his you know, admiration, respective gusts, and also how that

500
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 4: does allow them, you know, to game plan together and

501
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: to communicate in those different things, because going from a

502
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: coordinator to a head coach, I mean, there are a

503
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 4: lot of you know, different demands that are on you.

504
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: And I think that this is such an indication of

505
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: how well they play into one another and you know,

506
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 4: looking at each other's philosophies on things and breaking down

507
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 4: film and being collaborative in that entire process. I absolutely

508
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 4: love it. We have heard time and time and again

509
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 4: this defense talk about how much faster and how much

510
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 4: more confident they're playing, and I thought that was on

511
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: display really the last two weeks with these two wins

512
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: in particular, really quickly, I want to follow up though

513
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: you guys talked about the offensive line. Wesley French is

514
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: one of my favorite stories on this roster, all of

515
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: our videographers who cover our community events will tell you

516
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 4: this as well. I talked to Wesley French last week,

517
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: just off camera. I said, hey, excited for you to

518
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: get a chance, and he goes, never take this for granted.

519
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 4: It was never a given that I would make it here.

520
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 4: And I just like that hits you like he has

521
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: fought and clawed and earned every single opportunity. Guy spent

522
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: seven years in college because of the COVID year and

523
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: red shirt years and all of that comes from a

524
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 4: small town in Michigan, you know, went to Western Michigan

525
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 4: and undrafted free agent. I mean it is he's unbelievable,

526
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 4: and not just in terms of what he is. I

527
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: mean every day in training camp, he was probably the

528
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 4: last guy to leave the field, putting in extra work,

529
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 4: getting extra reps and asking guys to stay late with him.

530
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 4: And then also, community is a huge aspect of this team.

531
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 4: I don't know that there is a Kimberly's behind the

532
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 4: camera right now. Kimberly, is there a Shakeyard know any

533
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 4: single community event we have been to, the Wesley French

534
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 4: has not been to.

535
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: No.

536
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: Every single week, this man shows up at elementary schools

537
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 4: and he's showing up for veterans and he is like

538
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: and he was, I mean, it's not just like showing

539
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 4: up and being there. He was packing boxes at the

540
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: food pantry and he was, you know, helping kids get

541
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: their school uniforms, and he was building these boxes or

542
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 4: building these flags with veterans who had lost families in combat,

543
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 4: family members and comment like he is all around just

544
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 4: like one of the most exceptional human beings. And for

545
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: him to get his first start in the NFL, I

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 4: was elated. And then for him to have that type

547
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 4: of performance, dude so incredible. He's just awesome. Everyone take

548
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 4: a little bit more time to dig into Wesley French's

549
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: story because you will not regret it. And that is

550
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: a guy who you were going to want to cheer

551
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 4: for because he deserves every opportunity he's getting.

552
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: When NFL teams are in disarray, it's tough to have

553
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: a acountability, you know what I mean, It really is.

554
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: And we went through that last year, in years before that,

555
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: even before JJ was here and stuff like that. But

556
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: showing up and doing the right things is I'm not

557
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: saying Wesley French is a direct and what he does

558
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: on his Tuesday community days and stuff. But this is

559
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen, and this is putting an accountability bubble over

560
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: that locker room that dare I say, wasn't there last year,

561
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: and we're seeing it early on right now with his leadership.

562
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. The Colts already have benched

563
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: and are cut two week one starters. Darryl Baker Junior

564
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch. You know, it doesn't mean the

565
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: Colts have completely lost faith in him or anything. They

566
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: wanted to give Juju Brent's a chance, but accountability, right,

567
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: And Deon Jackson was the Week one starting running back.

568
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: He's no longer on the team.

569
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, what would Week one have looked like if you

570
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: had Zach Moss? I mean, I don't want to like hindsight, right, but.

571
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Think about that. Okay, So, like, if you aren't hitting

572
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: the standard that we expect out of our players, there

573
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: is accountability there. But it's not just you know, we

574
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, let's keep it going, let's try. It's like, nope,

575
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: we are going to find someone who can hit that standard.

576
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: And it starts with Shane Steichen. Shane's the first to

577
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: admit when there's a play call that doesn't go right,

578
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 1: that he didn't, you know, he needed to call something different,

579
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: that he should have coached it better. It starts with him.

580
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: And when you have that top down accountability, it really

581
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: like I was asking Zach Moss about this yesterday and

582
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 1: he said, just it it raises everyone else up that Hey, okay,

583
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: our head coach is taking accountability for this stuff, and

584
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: he's holding us accountable in the same way he's holding

585
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: himself accountable. That just early in the season, that means

586
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: so much.

587
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 4: I also think he leans into the supporting cast. And

588
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 4: I say supporting cast not to diminish that, but I

589
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: just mean a lot of the intention bad and good

590
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 4: goes on the head coach. Every opportunity that Shane has,

591
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: he's giving praise. If people ask about the offensive line,

592
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 4: he's giving praise to Tony Sperano, or you know, you're

593
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 4: asking about special teams, he's talking about Brian Center, you're

594
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: talking about the linebackers, to talking about Richard Smith and

595
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: Ktae what you know, whatever it is, he makes sure

596
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: to acknowledge the work that those guys are doing.

597
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: And then I.

598
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 4: Also think that when you are game planning, he's doing

599
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: a great job of leaning into those guys and you know,

600
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: making sure that they are taking in different angles and

601
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 4: different perspectives and all of these different things, and then

602
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: empowering each of those leaders of the position group and

603
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: each of those other coordinators with how they lead and

604
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 4: how they coach and how they prepare their guys. So

605
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 4: I think he has struck a really effective balance of

606
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 4: being like, Okay, these are the things that I'm going

607
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 4: to shoulder, and these are responsibilities I'm going to take on,

608
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: but then also making sure that the people who he

609
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: has such great confidence in have that same level of

610
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: confidence and responsibility and conviction that they feel strong in

611
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 4: the addition that they are bringing and the role that

612
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 4: they are playing within them.

613
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Just think about the Gus Bradley's stuff for a second,

614
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: where I just brought up that stat about how many

615
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: times the Colts blitzed. If you are not blitzing properly

616
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: against Lamar Jackson, it can be a long day for Gus.

617
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: Bradley even if you blitz properly because it's Lamar Jackson.

618
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, But to send twenty one blitzes against Lamar Jackson

619
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: and to come away with a win in which the

620
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: Ravens scored nineteen points seventeen on offense.

621
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: Love it.

622
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: That is a that is a testament to the coaching

623
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: of Gus Bradley. And to get back to the year

624
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: two thing, Gus Bradley knows exactly what his players can do.

625
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: There's no more feeling it out there is now you

626
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: got a year of tape. And Gus said this last

627
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: week that he's now showing these guys tape of what

628
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: they did last year. He's not having to Hey, we

629
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: want to run this concept, we want to run this coverage,

630
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: this this defensive line stunt. Here's what I've done in

631
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: the past. Here's what it should look like. Now here's

632
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: what it should look like. And it's guys wearing horse

633
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: shoes on their helmet.

634
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 4: Contra curve ball real quick, because you and I already

635
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: had this conversation, but I want to throw this out

636
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: to Jeffrey Gorman. So we're talking about the defense. Right,

637
00:29:54,520 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: second leading tackler in Baltimore was Julian Blackman. Okay, offensively

638
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: and on special teams collectively, every single point scored all

639
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 4: twenty two points.

640
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: It was twenty two twenty two.

641
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 4: Right, What why does it feel like I was like

642
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 4: I had to double take all twenty two points scored

643
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 4: were scored by products of the University of Utah, Matt Gay,

644
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: Zach Moss, and then your second leading tackler was Julian Black.

645
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: I read that, and and by the way, I know

646
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: that was great. Grate Pool, I'm glad you pulled that

647
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: off the Brian Windhorst, you were really pushing that yesterday.

648
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: What's happening in Utah? Yeah, we're gonna wearing to.

649
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: Clip that one. That's social media because but really incredible.

650
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's like winning the lottery. Think about it.

651
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: You have these players who are instrumental in this state

652
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: that will go to this state professionally and do different

653
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: things than they're accounting for all the buy I understand

654
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: what you're saying.

655
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: It's like lottery.

656
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 4: I mean it's not University of Alabama or Ohio State

657
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 4: or something. It's Utah, which I mean has had historically

658
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: good programs. I mean that's just why.

659
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: What's a a ute?

660
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,160

Speaker 2: I want to gush quickly though, because this is that

670
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: what they thought.

671
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:17,240

Speaker 2: gonna gush every week on this podcast and say, hey,

675
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: we're doing well, but the way this schedule is set up,

676
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm so excited because it is.

677
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: There's a lot of winnable games on here.

678
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: But we got great play from Quitty Pay, we got

679
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: great play again from e J.

680
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: Speed.

681
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: What it is.

682
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna flip it a little bit. We're

683
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: gonna gush for a minute on those two and then

684
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw you guys at curveball.

685
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: Quitty and e J.

686
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: All right, So Quitty has three sacks here, the sack

687
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: in every game, and Quitty is he's playing with such confidence.

688
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: He entered the season. I talked to him after week

689
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: one and he told me like his mentality was just

690
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: I put in way too much work for it not

691
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: to be for the product to not be good on

692
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: the field. And he came into the season with a

693
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: ton of confidence. And we're seeing it the rushes he's

694
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: having and how he's playing off especially of Samson Ebcom

695
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: who has hit some awesome speed rushes off the edge. Goodness,

696
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: the way that they're playing off each other is really fun.

697
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: And then obviously Buck and Grove in the middle. We

698
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: all know that, we all all know what they can do.

699
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: This is the makings of a really good year for Quitty.

700
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: And I think Quitty always had it in him, but

701
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: last year he said his confidence kind of waned a

702
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: little bit. He got hurt. If he stays healthy and

703
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: he keeps playing at this level, it's gonna be a

704
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: really good year for Quitty. And then EJ. Every time

705
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: this dude's on the field, he's making a big play.

706
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: That was on Zay Flowers, wasn't it.

707
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean coverage?

708
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

709
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, by the way, people being like

710
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: I should have been pass interference. The officials kept their

711
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: flags in their pocket in that game. They were consistent

712
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: throughout the game keeping their flags in their pockets.

713
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: If that's a flag, that's a hand on his waist,

714
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: then we're not throwing it.

715
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: So on Quitty real quick, because you guys, no love.

716
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: I love the feature stories. This is something I mentioned

717
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: in the radio broadcast. Remember how much attention there was

718
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: in Foxborough last year because it was Quitty's mom's first

719
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: game where she was able to see him play, because

720
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: she made the quick trip from Rhode Island over Row

721
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: one behind the Cold Spine. Mama Agnes in our fifty

722
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 4: one jersey with like eight members of the pay family.

723
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: Good seats showed.

724
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 4: Quitty showed out for Mama Nice. Anytime Mama's in the house,

725
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: Quitty has a big day. So I don't I'm gon

726
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 4: need to talk to the boss.

727
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: Get mama's get her a house here, get that more game,

728
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: fire a house.

729
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is working like that. So I

730
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: talked about the gushing. We saw the EJ speed, We

731
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: saw what Quitty does. I'm gonna flip it. I'm gonna

732
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: go stir. I'm gonna go first. I'm not coming down

733
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 2: on this football team. I'm not second guests in this

734
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: football team. I don't know how to call offensive plays

735
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: anything like that. But as a fan, I'm gonna say this,

736
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna throw it to you guys. Who's our

737
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: tight end? And is that a problem or is it

738
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: not a problem? Because we have talent there injuries coming

739
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: into play like this, obviously it's a huge thing. But

740
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: in this Shane Steike in offense and it's going to

741
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 2: be cooking with Richardson. Even if we had a couple

742
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: or three of them all that were part of this

743
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: offensive scheme, It's like, I want one of those guys.

744
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: And we thought we were gonna have it with Woods.

745
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 2: We thought maybe Olga Trees like to bust out?

746
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 3: Is it Will.

747
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: Mallory that it's or are we okay shifting with this

748
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: many tight ends going in and out?

749
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: Look?

750
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: You you would obviously like to have that guy, you know,

751
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: the guy who can play the y tight end, the

752
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: inline guy who can block and you can catch who's

753
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: at the top of the league. But there are maybe

754
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: five or six of those dudes. You think, Dallas Goddard, TJ. Howkinson,

755
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: George Kittle.

756
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: Now what's his name? In Kansas City's Travis, Yeah.

757
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's Taylor when Taylor went by the way, When

758
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift eventually break up, which they

759
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: will the song She's gonna have to do Kelsey Dagger?

760
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: Right, it would be something like Lose, Chiefs Lose or something, right,

761
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: is it dagger?

762
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, like Chelsea Dagger, but Kelsey Dagger what's Chelsea Dagger?

763
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: It's the song that's a swifty song, that's a swift Okay,

764
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: I just totally lost.

765
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, this probably the podcast.

766
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you did lose, larr and I, but will

767
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: you sing a few bars of the song so we

768
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about?

769
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: Go watch any Chicago Blackhawks highlights from the twenty tens, and.

770
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: I'd rather listen to him sing no, I'm good.

771
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I drove this thing off the tracks

772
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to steer it back before

773
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: you make me sing bring us back. There are just

774
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: so few of those true why tight ends who can

775
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: play eighty ninety percent of the snaps in the league.

776
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: So if you don't have that guy, I think what

777
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: the Colts have is a collection of guys who can.

778
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: You're fine with it, absolutely.

779
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 4: I also think it's a little too early to be

780
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 4: asking that because you have had to somewhat taylor your

781
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: tight end play based on two different quarterbacks to this period, right.

782
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: I mean, of course the playbook is the same with

783
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 4: coach Steichen, but you're going to use different aspects of

784
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: it with Anthony Richardson Verse Gardner Minshew. So I think

785
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 4: when you get into a stretch. I mean you had

786
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 4: Anthony play a full game and a quarter and then

787
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 4: you had Gardner play three quarters in one game. I

788
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 4: think that you have to utilize tight ends differently based

789
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: on how you're scheming with those two different guys. So

790
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 4: I think when you get into a stretch here of

791
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: hopefully having Anthony richardson for consecutive games in a row,

792
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 4: that creates a better opportunity to establish who that dominant

793
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: guy is going to be. I mean, does that make sense?

794
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 3: Yea.

795
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: And also it's just too small sample size think right now.

796
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: The other factor is we'll see when Jelanni woods. That's

797
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: help sure.

798
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: Obviously, all right wrapping this thing up, the Rams away,

799
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: and I know you guys are getting all your paperwork

800
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: on and notes on this football team here in Indianapolis,

801
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: but you.

802
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: Got to keep an eye on the Rams. Here's why

803
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: I think the culture short week. Yeah, here's where I'm thinking.

804
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 4: West Coast to East coast.

805
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: At ten am, I thought it was kind of like

806
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: half wondering that the two hour bus ride up from

807
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and say, I don't think they are.

808
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

809
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: We can find that out if the Rams or they

810
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: went back to the West coast because just like you said,

811
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 2: short week, this thing's gonna be on him in a minute.

812
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: I can relie up on I can pull it up

813
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: on flightwear. I was tracking the Steelers playing that broke down.

814
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, nice, and I'm glad everybody's safe on that plane,

815
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: by the way. But Lara, that's what I was going

816
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: with physical demanding travel and I know that's a charter

817
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 2: and everything like that, but these cats aren't.

818
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 3: They're not ready to play.

819
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: At ten am every week when you know what I'm saying,

820
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: when or at their time ten am with the one

821
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: o'clock kickoff, Sometimes it comes into play, sometimes it doesn't.

822
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: But this travel Cincinnati back to La La to Indianapolis everything.

823
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: I like us against the Rams. I know at Sean

824
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: mcvah and I know you're gonna bust some stats on

825
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: me from the Rams, but I do like us again.

826
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: And this team is rolling with the Shane Steichen era

827
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: here and it's gonna fall into place another game that's falling.

828
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 2: All favors are on us right now. And the line

829
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: is basically even in Vegas.

830
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: The the you know watching the Rams on Monday night,

831
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: I you know, caught that game and I was watching them, like,

832
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: this offense looks really good, and then I looked up

833
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 1: and they had nine points late in the game, which

834
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: was sort of surprising. Like, I think they're probably better

835
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: than what they showed yesterday. Lou An Arumou, the Cincinnati

836
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, is a really good at way one of

837
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: the Yeah, they couldn't block Trey Hendrickson in that game. Uh.

838
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford though, looks like he's like he's back, like

839
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: he's he's got the arm strength again.

840
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer. He's got one. She's

841
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 3: got one ring, hall of Famer, potentially, hold on, Sorry, but.

842
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: I see an argument for sure.

843
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: You know, Matthew Stafford's only been a Pro bowler one time.

844
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 4: Right, so many bad teams, and but he still slung

845
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 4: it though, I mean.

846
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 3: A number of number.

847
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 4: He's also in an era of really great quarterback. I

848
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: mean that's the other thing and that I feel like

849
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 4: you have to excuse against when you look at the

850
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: other guys who were getting voted into the Pro Bowl.

851
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's just it's just a tough time.

852
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 4: I think it's a.

853
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: Great quarterback, all right, Oh.

854
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 4: I know what I was going to tell you. So

855
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: I had Matt Gay this week for Colt three sixty.

856
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah he didn't give him some love. I mean, anytime

857
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: you do this, I'm sorry to interrupt.

858
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 2: The first time in NFL history happens in twenty twenty three,

859
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: the first time something happens in NFL history, and it's

860
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: our guy.

861
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 4: Please explain, well, yes, exactly, first kicker in NFL history

862
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: to have four field goals beyond fifty yards in a

863
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 4: single game, that includes one that was a game winner

864
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 4: and five field goals in total. And that is also,

865
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 4: like we always talk so much about, even though quarterbacks

866
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 4: don't go head to head, we'd love to talk about

867
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 4: quarterback battles right like, it isn't real are You're not

868
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: facing another quarterback. But that's always a storyline, as much

869
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: so this week as there should have been on Justin

870
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 4: Tucker versus Matt Gay. I mean in that Gay.

871
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: I have a no, I give me it. So Justin

872
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Tucker lines up the sixty one yard field goal that

873
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: would have won the game. As soon as the ball

874
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: left his foot, the scoreboard changed in Baltimore.

875
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: Really, they put to.

876
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 4: Three up automatic, like they're like, oh, let's.

877
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: And with didn't cause, by the way, because it was short,

878
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: well you just assumed, you just assume that kicks going in.

879
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was on target and I did. It was

880
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: in Matt Taylor's ear saying it's short. I mean I

881
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: could just see where it started to drop off, you know,

882
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: basically the apex and the physics and all that.

883
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 3: Guys. Again, I wasn't there. I'm watching to sing on TV.

884
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 3: I thought he gutted it. I thought he had.

885
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: It's a Tucker, he's got a boomer. But like and

886
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they are like short. I'm like,

887
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: you got to be kidding me. You don't forget the

888
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 2: kick he made earlier and he did one of.

889
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: These, do you guys?

890
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 2: Do you guys remember that when he did one of

891
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: those kind of the thing I said when we were

892
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 2: watching it, I hope that comes back to burn ye bamn.

893
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: I had an impact in that reader, Sorry, I had

894
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 3: an impact in that wind by by by putting the

895
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 3: shazam on on Justin Tucker.

896
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: So you did a great job. A great job from

897
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: Carmel on Sunday.

898
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: That's that's right, while eating shot Shapiro's Actually it was

899
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: what was on uh was on the menu there for

900
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 2: that watch party. So a lot of fun. Okay, these

901
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: two are on another podcast on Thursday.

902
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: What I was going to say, though, is one thing.

903
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 4: On Matt Gay. I asked him how eager he was

904
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 4: to get back to the friendly confines of Lucas Oil

905
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: Stadium after having the conditions in Baltimore, which he said,

906
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 4: actually weren't too terrible, but still, you know, it's wet.

907
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 4: It was almost as constant kind of missed the whole time.

908
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 4: He Matt Gay has requested that the roof be closed.

909
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: I bet he does just about that. I don't know

910
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 3: if you nudge.

911
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are gonna write an email to Hurt

912
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: through the grape vine.

913
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'll write an email.

914
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: Believe me if Ssiching's got one bit, I know his

915
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: Psichen and Ursay talk has always been traditionally he always

916
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: talks to the head coach of the morning of the

917
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: game just to find out what they want with it.

918
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: And obviously every coach that's been here in the past,

919
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: other than Chuck Pagano, I think, has wanted the roof close,

920
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: for the elements not to be affected and stuff like that.

921
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 3: So that'll be a fun one to see.

922
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 2: But I just want to say, uh, we talked, we

923
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: gush on this podcast a lot about a victory, we

924
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 2: talk about a loss on like that. But you guys

925
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: are gonna get us ready for the RAMS on Thursday.

00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: So okay, Welly Butcherd who's hosting it and everything. But

930
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: my point is this, the two most the people with

931
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: the most information between their ears in this building as

932
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: far as the Colts go and reporting on them, are

933
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 2: these two right here. I'm just saying no, but I'm
