25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: enormous game for the Colts in the third phase with

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: I'm calling it two block punts technically one block punt,

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: a return for a touchdown by Grant Stewart, and then technically,

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: as far as the stats go, a four fumble recovery

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: on a punt. We'll get into that with Tony Brown

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and how he views it himself, making a great play

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: coming off the edge there. But fell as, we lead

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: off here with four down Territory, our top four story

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: lines heading into this week fourteen battle on the banks

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: of the Ohio River. We just talked about it here

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: with the Colts are on a four game winning streak.

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: The Colts are the only team in the AFC right

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: now that has a four game heater. The Bengals are

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: coming off a Monday Night football thriller, both of these

39
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: teams actually coming off overtime wins Monday Night football. Mister

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Jake Browning leads the Bengals to a win against the

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, and Bill, have you ever seen one game

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: change the complexion of another game the week after with

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars losing and then the Bengals all of a

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: sudden coming back from the dead in terms of their

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: playoff life and their hopes.

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: If you will, at one game, I can't remember a

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: game that's swung swung so much on one night, Monday

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: night football game where you know, the Jacksonville Jaguars, if

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: they win that game, they.

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: You know, they set themselves up pretty good for the

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: rest of the season.

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: But Cincinnati played well because you know what they're playing

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 5: for their playoff lives right now. So for them to win,

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: and if Jacksonville lose, I mean, it just changes everything

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: in the AFC South right now.

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: Well I mean you say that, I mean, think about it.

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: From Jacksonville's perspective. They would go to nine and three

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: and would be in a tie among the top in

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: the AFC exactly. Not only you lose, you see Trevor

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: Lawrence get banged up, Christan Kirk now has to have

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: surgery there expected him to be gone throughout the rest

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: of the season. He be able to return if they

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: make a deep playoff run. So there's a lot that

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: went into that game. And not to mention what Cincinnati

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: did where I would say a lot of people kind

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: of wrote them off when Joe Burrow was heard. Then

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: Jake Browning out of nowhere, it comes out and completes

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of his passes over three hundred and

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: fifty yards, and you're like, hey, wait a minute here.

70
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a huge game. And I mean

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: you're spot on with that, Matt. I'm sure it's recency

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: bias where we can't remember something that the zact, but

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: it does seem crazy that just the flip of what

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: you thought would happen has changed a lot.

75
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first down on our four down

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: territory here. I mean it is. It's crazy the complexion

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: of this game changing on one result, and we had

78
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: to wait until the final game week thirteen to see it. Here,

79
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the Colts are seven and five, the Bengals are six

80
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and six. If the Bengals win on Sunday, both teams

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: would have the same record, obviously, but then the Bengals

82
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: would obviously have the head to head tiebreaker over the

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Colts and would leap up or jump up in the

84
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: pecking order in the AFC playoffs stand and the Bengals listen,

85
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: they are not at all their playoff hopes are not

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: at all washed away. Right there in the river there

87
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: in Ohio, there are three seven and five teams right now.

88
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: You've got the Colts, you got the Steelers, and you

89
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: have the Browns. They play all three of them in

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: their final five games. They play them all. So they

91
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: completely feel like the Colts where they've got their playoff

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: hopes and their destiny in their own hands if they

93
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: can take control and take care of their own business.

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: There with mister Jake Brownie Browning, who will talk about

95
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: coming up in just a second. But as I said,

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: both teams had to play extra time. Certainly Cincinnati had

97
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: an extra day to do it, had to wait an

98
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: extra day to do it. On Monday night, Football Bill,

99
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: how do you when you played overtime games? How do

100
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you feel the next week? I mean, can you describe

101
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: the toll that that extra seven eight minutes had on

102
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: you physically? And who might have the edge going into

103
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: this game knowing both teams did indeed have to play overtime.

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: A lot of times you wouldn't think seven or eight

105
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: minutes it's that long to play a football game, but

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: actually is pretty long. And a lot of times what

107
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 5: happens after that seven eight minutes the next day or

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 5: later on that week, you just feel a little sluggish,

109
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: you know, the legs for receiver, your legs feel look heavy.

110
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 5: You just can't move as fast sometimes, so you hope

111
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: you're hoping to get some rest. And I think, you know,

112
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: from a physical standpoint, I think if you look at

113
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: it right now, the coach should have the advantage. But

114
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 5: I'm pretty much banking on that to Bengals coaches, Hey,

115
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: we're going to get these guys a break, take something

116
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: off their feet, something, you know, get rest of their feet,

117
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: wrest them a little bit, still go through practice, but

118
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: be a very light practice so they won't have to,

119
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: you know, tax that by so much so they'll be

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: ready to play on sign to that.

121
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: With the overtime period, it's not that the first four

122
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: quarters are important, right, but it's just so heightened in

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: overtime because one first down could change things, you know,

124
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: one big penalty changes things, one big play, I mean

125
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: we saw it with the Alec Pierce bomb. That Gardner

126
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: miss fistory last week was such a huge play, and

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: it's all just you know, heightened a little bit more so. Yeah,

128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: it's seven eight minutes, but it's seven eight minutes. They're

129
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: just a little bit more of a you know, you're

130
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: maybe going one hundred and twenty percent compared to one

131
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: hundred and five you were going before exactly.

132
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: And since you know, Cincinnati played on Monday, so I

133
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: should hurt them a little bit a little bit more.

134
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 5: But like I said, I'm thinking that the Bengals coaches

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 5: will give them some time office so they can rest

136
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: and be ready to go.

137
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where're taping this on Thursday. That's why the

138
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Colts on Wednesday held a walk through to keep guys fresh.

139
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're late in the season anyways, then you

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: play overtime. It's really important to give guys as much

141
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: rest going into a huge game as possible. All Right,

142
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: that was first down. Here's second down. Grover's Stuart is

143
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: back the big row of returns, and he's been reinstated

144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: from his six game suspension. We knew about his violation

145
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: of the NFL's ped policy. And here are the stats

146
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: with and without Grover Stewart. I'm sure you've seen, I'm

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: sure you've heard all about this. Here it is one

148
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: more time for context. With with Grover Stewart in the

149
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: lineup this year, rushing defense giving up three point seven

150
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: yards per carry one hundred and thirteen rushing yards per game.

151
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Not bad, but the Colts have had some elite performances

152
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: stopping the run this year, primarily with number ninety in

153
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: the lineup. Without them in six games, four point seven

154
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: yards per one hundred and fifty three yards on average

155
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,119
Speaker 1: given up. The Colts have allowed at least one hundred

156
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: and twenty five rushing yards in six straight games, first

157
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: time that's happened to the Colts since two thousand and six.

158
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: We remember the regular season up and down nature of

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: that season in terms of the defense. Now they got

160
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: to figure it out in the playoffs. They won the

161
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that year. So maybe that's a good omen

162
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: here with vote yeah coming back, but that's the case. Hey,

163
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm all right, yeah, sign me up for that. But

164
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Grover said on Wednesday, Hey, I'm ready. I wasn't injured,

165
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't banged up. I just got pinched a little bit,

166
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: and we don't need to get into that is very remorseful,

167
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things that happens and you

168
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: move on. You learn from it you grow. Everybody learns

169
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: a lesson from what happened to Grover Stewart in terms

170
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: of the intake was body there, but no pitch count,

171
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: no limitations at all for Grover Stewart playing the number

172
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: thirty two rush offense from the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: How do you think this all plays out well?

174
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: Hopefully it plays out well for the Coats having Big

175
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: Grove back there to stop the run. Not that the

176
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 5: Bengals have this great running game, but don't get me wrong,

177
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 5: when you have Joe Mixon back there, he still can

178
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 5: be a game breaker. He can be a game breaker,

179
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 5: so don't take him lightly. It's because the last in

180
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: the league and rushing per game at eighty two and

181
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: a half yards per game, that doesn't mean make a

182
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 5: big difference at all, because once you start playing a game,

183
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: things change. So I think it's going to be important

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: and imperative for the Coats to be alert for Joe

185
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: Mixon and the running game. Just make sure that you

186
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 5: stop them and put all the pressure on the quarterback.

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 5: Let's see if he can do it again. Now he did,

188
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: he did pretty well last week. The quarterback Browning did,

189
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: but let's see if he can do it again and

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 5: then put some pressure on them by hopefully stopping the

191
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: run and hopefully having Grover back will help that the Colts.

192
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: Here's a question for both of you. I'm just playing

193
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate here, because Grover's coming back. We know about

194
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: the woes and being able to stop the run, But

195
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: in that time, the pass rush has been on fire. Yes, right,

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: the sack numbers, the pressures. I have just been lighting

197
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: up the box score here. In the last five games,

198
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: the Colts have twenty one sacks and they have what

199
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: was it four straight sacks or it should say four

200
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: sacks in five straight games, six sacks back to back

201
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: games for the first time since nineteen eighty four. Again hypothetical,

202
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: or I should say Devil's advocate. Question to both of you. Casey,

203
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: you go first, just throwing it out there. Any worry

204
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: about the pass rush dropping off with Grover coming back.

205
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: You know that that is a concern. It is one

206
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: of those things because the way that this through these

207
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: six games, that's where the pass rush is really you know,

208
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: started to find its ground and it's footing, and it's

209
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: also come from the inside to Grover play that's where

210
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: my big price is from the inside. You have seen

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 2: you know a lot of that pressure too, and you

212
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: know Buckner, Eric Johnson, they're getting there. Grover is not

213
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: like we're not saying he's not a pass rusher, like

214
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: Grover can affect you know, all of that, but I mean,

215
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: he is a really impactful run stopper. So it's going

216
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: to be interesting to see. But the one thing that

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: I will say, playing Devil's advocate on that is I

218
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: think that I.

219
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: Don't advocate on top of the advocate or what are

220
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: we advocating now.

221
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: Right?

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: But I think the pass rush is the confidence level

223
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: has been so high that I don't think you're going

224
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: to see a fall off because guys like Samsondo Quiddy,

225
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: they're all seeing everything they've been working to start to

226
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: really pay off the last handful of weeks. So I

227
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: think that confidence level is still going to be so

228
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: high that they're saying, you know what, you know, the

229
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: interior where we're getting some of that may not be there,

230
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: but we can get it from elsewhere. So we know

231
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: what Buckner can do. Buckner is still going to be

232
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: able to impact the quarterback. We have seen you know

233
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: some guys step up and Taven Brian Eric Johnson at

234
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 2: a tomoise out of Barre, so we will steal a

235
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: probably see a good rotation in there. So I think

236
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: there's going to be your spots. So I understand the concern.

237
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things where I have

238
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: to see how it's impacted. But I'm never gonna say

239
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 2: that having number ninety and it's a detriment at all,

240
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: because you know the impact that Grover has and we

241
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: definitely want to see him back in the lineup.

242
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 5: Don't underestimate a player's fresh legs, right and back. Grover

243
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 5: having fresh legs being ready to play, probably wants to

244
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 5: go out there and say, hey, no what I'm back, guys.

245
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 5: I want to get involved in this. What you guys

246
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 5: have been doing lately. You guys been playing well, doing

247
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: good job, winning some football games. Now I want to

248
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: contribute myself. So fresh legs could probably be hyped up

249
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 5: for the game. So I expect Grover to play well

250
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 5: this week against Cincinnati.

251
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: It was funny on Wednesday, they asked, so you're gonna

252
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: be on any pitch count. He said, no, I'm playing

253
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: every snap, Coach. I'm ready let's go all of them.

254
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. But Gus Bradley mentioned that this

255
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: week about how getting Grover back it's almost like adding

256
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: a free agent, you know.

257
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: Or gets a first round draft and that's what I

258
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: thought was. I was like, this isn't a free agent.

259
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like going out and targeting in

260
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: a trade deadline deal a guy that's going.

261
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: To help you. It's like if you're yeah, this is

262
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: like if you're the Reds, you know, like we're not

263
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be contending. Let's go get an ace. Here

264
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: we go, and Grover Steward is the ace against the

265
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: run one hundred percent. Grover Steward is such a small

266
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: market baseball compreson there.

267
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: And like you said, I mean he wasn't injured. So

268
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: this is six weeks where you know he wasn't injured,

269
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: but you're never one hundred percent healthy, So that's six

270
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: weeks he was able to get his body right and everything.

271
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: So it does kind of have a positive impact getting back.

272
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Right now, All right, let's go to third down topic.

273
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Here is Battle of the backups. I love this. The

274
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: NFL put this out there the other day and it

275
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: just sort of smacked me in the face. I mean,

276
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: how could I forget that Jake Browning and Gardner Minshew

277
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: have actually squared off against one another before in college.

278
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: It was Washington versus Washington State in the Apple Cup

279
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. Right, I think it's either the day

280
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving or the weekend after Thanksgiving that rivalry there

281
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. Browning was the starting quarterback at Washington,

282
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Minshew the starter at Washington State. So let's find out

283
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: who is Jake Browning? Because a lot of us and

284
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: I'll raise my hand kind of forgot I'm right behind

285
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: Jake Browning and had to say to myself, who is

286
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: this freaking guy? Like this guy is bawling out. So

287
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: let's get indoctrinated on Jake Browning if you're playing catchup

288
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: just like us here.

289
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: So.

290
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Browning originally came into the league as an undrafted free

291
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: agent signee in twenty nineteen. Despite having unbelievable numbers and

292
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: an unbelievable career at Washington, he's the all time winningest

293
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the PAC twelve led Washington

294
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: to the College Football Playoff in twenty sixteen, set all

295
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: kinds of records there for the Huskies in their program,

296
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: but went undrafted first two years, was on the Minnesota

297
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: practice squad, got cut at the end of the preseason

298
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, then got signed by the Bengals

299
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: right after that, so in twenty twenty one in twenty

300
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: twenty two, spent those seasons on the Bengals practice squad.

301
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Then this year beat out Trevor Simeon to beat Joe

302
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Burrow's backup the first eleven games he's getting ready and

303
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: then called into action to start two weeks ago against Pittsburgh.

304
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Burrow got banged up on a Thursday nighter, had to

305
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: come in in short order to play the Ravens. Obviously,

306
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: they didn't win any of those games, and then the

307
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: playoff hopes have taken a dive, and here he comes.

308
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: He said, boys, put it all on go. I'm good

309
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: to go. And so he has made two starts at

310
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: any NFL level, or any kind of football level, I

311
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: should say, since the Rose Bowl in twenty nineteen. And

312
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: all he did last week was throw for three hundred

313
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and fifty four yards, complete eighty six percent of his passes,

314
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: becoming the first undrafted rookie ever or not undrafted rookie,

315
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: but the first undrafted player ever to put up those

316
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: kinds of numbers and his first NFL win on primetime

317
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: Monday night football against the Jaguars that heavily favored, Jacksonville Jaguars,

318
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: and he did with calm, E zach and hooy on

319
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: the road, yeah, on the road, Like yeah, how impressed

320
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: are you by this guy? And how much new life

321
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: does he give the Bengals here.

322
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 5: I was highly impressed by his performance against the Jacksonville

323
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 5: Jaguars on Monday Night because you're thinking about thirty seven

324
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 5: times you haven't really played a lot of football.

325
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: You complete thirty two of those passes.

326
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: Thirty two of those passes. Didn't seem like he was panicking,

327
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 5: just seemed calm cool. You throw it for over three

328
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: hundred yards, no turnovers. Well, not by him, I would say,

329
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: not by Browning. But he did it from a remarkable job.

330
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 5: I mean, especially after come off the previous week where

331
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 5: he didn't play so well. He didn't know what you're

332
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: going to really get out there. But as you say, mate,

333
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: on primetime TV Monday night against a division leader in

334
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, in a hostile environment.

335
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Your season hanging in the bounds.

336
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: Yes, the playoff implications are very important for that game

337
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 5: for them, and they come out and win an overtime.

338
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, give the young give the young man credit.

339
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: He's twenty seven. Yeah, yeah, but get crazy. It's crazy,

340
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: but get the young man to a nice job.

341
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 5: For him to be so calm and cool out there,

342
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 5: it shows a lot about him.

343
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: I would assume that you both watched Monday Night very

344
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: similar to the way that I was, because I kind

345
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: of like the Monday Night game when you're playing that

346
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: one of those teams, because it's like, yeah, your first,

347
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: your first taste of them, and you get the full

348
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: night to watch all of it. I mean I watched

349
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: every single snap. I watched the three game. I watched

350
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: it because for Jacksonville was like their first Monday night

351
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: football game in Jacksonville since twenty eve I mean it

352
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: had been forever, so it was like all this hypeover

353
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: and for the Bengals, they weren't on Monday Night very

354
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: often either. It's like their first win on Monday Night

355
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: since the night Cray. All this lead up to it,

356
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: and I was expecting, excuse me, I was expecting to

357
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: watch Doug Peterson in the Jags role yea, and early on,

358
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: I just kept saying about Jake Browning doesn't look that bad.

359
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: And instead instead of saying that, throughout the game, I

360
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: kept going, Wow, who who is Jake Browning?

361
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: By the fourth quarter, you're saying, this guy's good.

362
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: Why is this guy taking so long to get his shot?

363
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: And I think that's part of what you see in

364
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: the NFL. We see it every single week that a

365
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: lot of these guys, you just got to give him

366
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: an opportunity. And for Jake Browning, clearly, I mean you

367
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: talk about the college pedigree. In high school, he set

368
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: a national record for touchdowns thrown. I mean he threw

369
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 2: ninety two touchdown passes as a senior in high school.

370
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: Ninety two. Now, this is no stab. At my alma mater,

371
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: Noblesville High School up North. I know if they've thrown

372
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: ninety two touchdown passes in the history of that high

373
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: school when I was there, I mean we scored like

374
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: six touchdowns. You know that was we didn't throw the

375
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: football a lot of running year.

376
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Give him the award. Yeah, I'm just.

377
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Saying, like, those are mind blowing numbers. So the guy

378
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: clearly has the talent. He put it on full display

379
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: on money and.

380
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: I think I think what I came out of Monday

381
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: night with in terms of my feelings on Cincinnati, is

382
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: that with Browning, I mean, what I'm about to say

383
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: is gonna short change him, and I don't mean it too,

384
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: but he proved to be incredibly competent, very much so

385
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: and in control. Right, I mean so again that I

386
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: think he's much better than that. But that's what we

387
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: were all wondering about him. So with that, I mean,

388
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: I think their offense is still just as dangerous with

389
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: him at quarterback. I mean, he threw from more yards

390
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: in a game this year than Joe Burrow did. Yep.

391
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: His completion percentage on Monday was higher than any game

392
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: this year completion percentage wise with Joe Burrow. Jamar Chase

393
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: has had better numbers with Jake Browning this year than

394
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow. All right, so like this Burrow bum,

395
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: get him out of here.

396
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and get out of him.

397
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there. Yes, pretty strategyets, but I'm

398
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: saying with Chase and Higgins Boyd and Mixing, excuse me,

399
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: and and Chase brown the rookie running back being able

400
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: to show some things. I mean, I think that this

401
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: offense has kind of been up and down all year

402
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: because of injuries. The boyd Chase has been banged up

403
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, Mixing has been banged up obviously, the

404
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: quarterback shoggling with with Joe Burrow. I think right now

405
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: you still have to feel like this is still an

406
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: elite offense based on what Browning showed on Monday Night Football.

407
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: Well, he has weapons to use.

408
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: He definitely has a lot of weapons to use, so

409
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 5: that helps him a lot as far as knowing that, hey,

410
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: look I don't have to do it by myself as

411
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 5: a quarterback. I can get the ball into these guys'

412
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 5: hands and let them do some special things out there

413
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: on the football field. So he has weapons, and he

414
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 5: has maybe one of the best trio of receivers in

415
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 5: the National Football League on his side, so that helps

416
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: him a lot.

417
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: And Mixing, like I said earlier.

418
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: He is a good back.

419
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: He's a back that can can be a game wrecker

420
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: himself by just running hard and also catching the ball

421
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 5: of the backfield. So you know, he has some special

422
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 5: talent around him. So it shouldn't make it easier for

423
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 5: him to play football well.

424
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: And you know, this kind of goes back to the

425
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: running game. We talked about, you know how poorous they

426
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: were at thirty second, but I think ultimately it was

427
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: because they had guys like Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase

428
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: and they said that's what we got to use. And

429
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: I think that's where you saw a little bit on Monday.

430
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: They ran the ball well. But also did you see

431
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: how Joe Mixon was involved in the passing game. So

432
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: they have kind of that extension of the run in

433
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon, and I think you might see a more

434
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: balanced offense out of Cincinnati with Jake Browning, which is

435
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: it might be a benefit to their team. So you know,

436
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: you look at the numbers thirty second in the league

437
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: and rushing, I kind of look at that as you know,

438
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: that's before the newly looked Bengals of what you're going

439
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: to see moving forward. Now, I'm not going to say

440
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 2: there are all of a sudden going to jump up

441
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: and be a top fifteen running team. Yeah, but I

442
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: think what you saw out of you mentioned Chase brown

443
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: the rookie on Monday, he gives him a little a

444
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: little difference in what do you have in Joe Mixon.

445
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon's kind of the you know, the banger. He's

446
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: going to run for those hard, hard yards. Brown kind

447
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: of has that explosiveness that's kind of the first time

448
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: we've seen him, so he adds another dimension to that

449
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: running game. So it's going to be very interesting because

450
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: you can talk about all their weapons on the on

451
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: the outside. I mean, Jamar Chase and t Higgins, that

452
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: duo right there might be among the best. And Tyler

453
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: Boyd has done it for such a long time in Cincinnati,

454
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: so you're not at all wrong when you look at

455
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: if Jake Browning is competent. As you mentioned, Matt, they

456
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: have the weapons to be dynamics. So it's definitely something

457
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: you can't overlook what that offense looks like because there

458
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: are a lot of really explosive players.

459
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to fourth down real quick. Let's

460
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: go over to the Colts offense. Talk about Michael Pittman Junior,

461
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: and Bill, I got to get your thoughts on this

462
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: first and foremost, because you're in the Ring of Honor

463
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: for a reason, and Michael Pittman Junior's playing like a

464
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor caliber player, right now based on what

465
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: he's producing because he's on a different level right now.

466
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: Eleven catches the other day against Tennessee, one hundred and

467
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: five yards the game winning touchdown. Right now, he ranks

468
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: second in the NFL on targets. He's fourth in catches.

469
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: He's been targeted at least ten times in eight games

470
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: this season. He has nine games this season with at

471
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: least eight catches that leads the NFL, ranked second in

472
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: Colt single season franchise history. He's also wracked up at

473
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: least eight catches in five straight games, which is tied

474
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: for the second longest streak in franchise history. So, right now,

475
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: this offense, at least in the passing game, it is

476
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: Pittman his downs, and then it's like the Heartbreakers or

477
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: the Pips, or just a good supporting cast if you

478
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: will here, if you want to make that rock and

479
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: roll analogy, what have you seen Bill from your standpoint

480
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: as a ring of honor, former wide receiver that played

481
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: at such a high level in this league. What is

482
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: it about Pittman's game right now that you can recognize

483
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: in terms of him taking it from here to here

484
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: metaphorically from a.

485
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: Physical standpoint, he's out there this kind of you know,

486
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 5: just doing what he wants to do. He's taking running routes,

487
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 5: moving people out of the way, being physical and being

488
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 5: in the right place at the right time. So I mean,

489
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 5: he's out there just playing extremely well. The thing that

490
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 5: impressed me most is that he wants to be the guy.

491
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: He's going out there wanting.

492
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: To be the guy.

493
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 5: I want to be the guy to make one of

494
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 5: that for a long Yes, I want to be the

495
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 5: guy that makes a difference on this team, especially on

496
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 5: an officer side of the ball, where when it's third

497
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 5: and five, give me the ball, or when we're in

498
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 5: a fourth quarter and we have to have this last drive,

499
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 5: throw me the ball. I want the ball. And that's

500
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 5: about him. He's not scared of the big moment. So

501
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 5: that's why I've seen him grow where he's not scared

502
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: of the big moment where he wants the ball and

503
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 5: he wants to be the leader out there on the

504
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 5: football field. I think we all know he's a very

505
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 5: physical guy and he wants to play physical. I think

506
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 5: the more physical the game is, the better he plays,

507
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 5: and that's what he wants to do. So I'm highly

508
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: impressed with Pittman's performance this year. He's done a tremendous

509
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 5: job being a leader, not just in the wide receiver room,

510
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: but on that offense as well.

511
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 2: I love his comment that he made after the game

512
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: on Sunday, where I feel so confident right now that

513
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: I can just take an uber to the game, get

514
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 2: there ten minutes before, put my shoes on, and I'm

515
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: ready to go out and dominate. And that's what I mean,

516
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: that's what I feel like.

517
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: That's a good feeling.

518
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: Don't do that, Yeah, don't do that. I think what

519
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: he is saying like it's like.

520
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: You're like a hardcore fan watch this. Don't do that.

521
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: It's like we have said with Matt Gay, who when

522
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: he gets in the stadium he's in range. Like Pittman,

523
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: it's like once he once he steps inside the in

524
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: field boundary, I mean, the guy is ready to take

525
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: over the game. And that confidence it continues to grow week.

526
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's almost like, Oh, he did this last week,

527
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: what's he going to do next week? I Mean he

528
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: went out had eleven catches last week, and it was

529
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: like every time you needed to play, Pittman was there.

530
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 2: And one of the things that I'm really excited for.

531
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to jump ahead anything here, but what

532
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: we saw at Alec Pierce adding that wrinkle to the offense,

533
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 2: I really think that's going to help everybody else, and

534
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: more importantly, it's going to continue to help and give

535
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: maybe Pittman a little bit more separation, give him a

536
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: little bit more opportunity for other things. So the way

537
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: Pittman is playing earspot on, I mean he is playing

538
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: at a caliber where you could look at in the

539
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 2: future and say he's definitely Ring of Honor worthy through

540
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: his first four years.

541
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. You know, you talk

542
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: about pace and all that. He's on pace for a

543
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: career high twelve hundred receiving yards. But to your point, Bill,

544
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: just in overtime, whether it's third down, or you're stacked

545
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: up in your own territory or you need to play

546
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone, it's Michael Pittman Junior. I mean

547
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: the catch with two guys all over him. Three guys

548
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: have their paws on the football, but it's Pittman muscling

549
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: away from Smibs with the great hands. He is making

550
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: a case to be I think one of the more

551
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: not underrated wide receivers in the NFL, but not talked

552
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: about enough, not talked about enough players at his position,

553
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: and it's a contract year for him. We got, you know,

554
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,239
Speaker 1: a lot of time to talk about that coming up

555
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: in the offseason, about Michael Pittman's future here with the Colts.

556
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: But right now, the future is bright with five games

557
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: to go, and he and Gardner Minshew are in the

558
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: zone together with the targets and the catches and the

559
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: synergy and just kind of that unspoken language they have

560
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Another guy that is raising the

561
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: bar on special teams. That's number thirty eight for the Colts.

562
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: You know him, you love him. It is Tony Brown.

563
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: He does the dirty work. He's a class guy. He's

564
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: a character guy. He's full of personality, he's full of

565
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: energy that we're calling it a block but is technically

566
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: a force fumble on the Titans punt formation. Set up

567
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: the Colts with a recovery and some more points there

568
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: in the second half, trying to get back into that

569
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: game against the Tennessee Titan. So Tony Brown joined us

570
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: earlier today here on the Official Colts Podcast. You don't

571
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: want to miss this one. Joining us in studio, the Man,

572
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend. It is number thirty eight for

573
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: your Indianapolis Colts. Tony Brown is with us here. Tony,

574
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: thanks so much for the time.

575
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 3: Man. How are you you guys for having.

576
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely so take us through. We have to start. There's

577
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: so much to get into with you because you're such

578
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: a great player, fascinating guy. But take us through the

579
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: we're calling a block. We're calling it a block. I

580
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: don't care what you call it. I don't care what

581
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: the NFL calls. That is a block punt. Technically, I

582
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: guess a force fumble there on Ryan Stonehouse. But take

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: us through that play. You had three special teams tackles,

584
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: you had a force fumble, but the big play was

585
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: that one on the second block punt, if you will,

586
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: for the Colts in that game in the second half.

587
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: How did you time it up so well on your

588
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: your blitz off the edge, if you will, getting after

589
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: the punter.

590
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 6: So it's called a corner roll, right we we had

591
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 6: it dialed up.

592
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: Against this team who has shown their gunner.

593
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 6: They have a gunner roll a gunner motion where the

594
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 6: motion the wide gun on the wide field to give

595
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 6: him a little momentum to get him momentum going down

596
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 6: the field.

597
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: So we noticed that they had.

598
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 6: A certain hand movement whenever they're from the signal it

599
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 6: and they didn't never really look to the other side

600
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 6: of the field. So me, using my uh you know,

601
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 6: my awareness and my instincts and my speed, we thought

602
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 6: that it would make sense for me to corner roll

603
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 6: opposite the opposite their motion. So off the hand motion,

604
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 6: I timed it up throughout the week. I got a

605
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 6: block point, which is like in nine and a half yards.

606
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 6: I worked it like every maybe two or three days.

607
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 6: I worked the timing of it off the snap, off

608
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 6: the where I needed to come off the edge where

609
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 6: the block point was, and so just whenever I saw it,

610
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 6: I tied it perfectly. I gave myself just enough room

611
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 6: off the ball so that if I did move forward

612
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 6: sooner than the ball snapped, I wouldn't be off sides.

613
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 6: So like that, all of that went together with me

614
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 6: just being Johnny on the spot and just being really

615
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 6: mindful in that moment, in that moment and timing it perfectly.

616
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: And you know, the funny thing is about that play,

617
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 6: so going over it, you know, I'm big on like

618
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 6: visualization and like meditating, like every time I visualize myself

619
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 6: making a play, like I saw myself getting there at

620
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 6: the kick point, like at the block point, right, So

621
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: when I'm coming off the edge, scott Free, I'm Scott Free,

622
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 6: I'm like, yo, I'm yo, this is I've already seen

623
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 6: this right this and not not only that, but I

624
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 6: have not I didn't see myself getting there that early, right,

625
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 6: because I got there before it even got to his foot, right,

626
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 6: So when I watched it on a film, I'm running

627
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 6: in the moment, I'm like, yo, I'm there kind of early,

628
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 6: like hold.

629
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: On, I kind of got to slow down a little bit.

630
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: I actually had to.

631
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 6: Block it like behind behind myself a little bit to

632
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 6: tap the ball, and then I look at it. You know,

633
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 6: I'm not big on what could have should have, but

634
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 6: like I could have like just grabbed the ball. Yeah,

635
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 6: but like, positive play for the team. I forgot the

636
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 6: punters last name, but Stonehouse. I do want to just

637
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 6: give my condolences to him and his family, hopefully as

638
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 6: a speedy recovery.

639
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: But you know, hey, good play for the team.

640
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I mean, listen,

641
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: it's you're exactly right, and and well said by you

642
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: mean that's that's just a football player making a football

643
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: play though, But I mean going back to what you

644
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: said though on the lead up to that play. So

645
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: did I hear you right that you had sort of

646
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: the freedom built in to do that, to make that

647
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: read they kind of instinctively do that on your own

648
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: within the scheme on the on the pump block.

649
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: Yes, So whenever we noticed that they had their off

650
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: tight end player on the ball and their opposite gunner

651
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 6: off the ball, it was a check that we were

652
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 6: supposed to have when we whenever I saw it, whenever

653
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 6: we saw it, it was a check that we supposed to have.

654
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 6: And oddly enough, not oddly enough, but you know, crazy enough.

655
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 6: Right after the first punt, I guess they got on

656
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: the ball quickly thinking that they were going to give

657
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 6: in a position where okay, we just got a block point,

658
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 6: we got just get the ball off. Unfortunately for them,

659
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 6: had a check ready for that. Yeah, And so it

660
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 6: just right.

661
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: So when you saw that happening where you're like, oh.

662
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 6: Oh it's on, Yeah, it's on, I said, I said,

663
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 6: I listen, Because they got to the ball quickly.

664
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: I'm like Yo, I can't believe they're going to do this.

665
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: Can't believe.

666
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 6: I cannot believe they're going to do this right now

667
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 6: because like I said, they got on the ball quickly,

668
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: so I'm like, yo, oh my gosh, it's wing the ball.

669
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: It's a block. It's blocked now.

670
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: Now, Matt mentioned it earlier that we're calling the block here.

671
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: I know that Brian Mason spoke to the media this

672
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: week how he's trying to talk with the NFL to

673
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: make sure that it is a block and out of

674
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: force fumble. I know it doesn't matter, but in your eyes,

675
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: that's a blocked plot.

676
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 6: Right in my eyes is a block, pint, because like

677
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: that's that's what it was. He is the kicker, he's

678
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 6: not a quarterback. He wasn't trying to run the ball.

679
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 6: He was tempting to kick, and I just got there

680
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 6: earlier than he got to his foot.

681
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: One of the things we have noticed that you're making

682
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: attest to this over the last handful of years special teams.

683
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: It is not saying it's different other places, but here

684
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: it has always been a key part of this team,

685
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: and it really it involves that buy in and clearly,

686
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: I mean you're one of those core special teams guys.

687
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: You have a role on defense as well, but just

688
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: talk about that buy in. I mean, it seems like

689
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: year and year out there are a handful of guys

690
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: that are you know, fan worthy names that you recognize

691
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: as special teams guys.

692
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: You know that is definitely a coach culture. Whenever I

693
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 6: was at other teams, whenever we played the coach, we

694
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 6: knew it was gonna be a game of like the

695
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 6: team is gonna be big. This is a this is

696
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 6: a team that prides themselves on the special teams players

697
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 6: in the play of all this core special teams. So

698
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 6: like whenever I got here, like coming from Alabama, to me,

699
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 6: there's a sense of pride and legacy to keep things

700
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 6: going if you're a part of an organization. So me

701
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 6: being a part of this organization, I have a sense

702
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: of pride myself to not be that crew of guys

703
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 6: that let that drop the that dropped the total, that

704
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 6: let the fire go out, let the flame of the

705
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 6: special teams go out. Me being a core guy. And

706
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 6: I think that, you know, that's the mentality here because

707
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 6: there are still some guys that were a part of

708
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 6: that legacy of being continued ej Speed, Ziyar Franklin, Kenny Moore.

709
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 6: All these guys were special teams guys that made a

710
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 6: difference on the team and they're still here on the team.

711
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 6: So those guys, along with Joe Hastings, they they helped

712
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 6: communicate to us, like the standard at which we're going

713
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 6: to have to keep rolling me Grant, Nick Cross, Segua Louvii,

714
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 6: Like it's a standard that we're not gonna let go away.

715
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 6: And especially with Mason his first year here, it's like

716
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 6: him being a rookie coach and me being a veteran player.

717
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: You know, I took through.

718
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: I take the responsibility of helping him as much as

719
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 6: I can with my play, with being a leader on

720
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 6: off the field, so that we can all come together

721
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 6: to keep it going.

722
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: Now, going along with that, like you said, the standard

723
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: of excellence within special teams. Since you've been here with

724
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: Bubba b Tron, we knew how that went. I mean,

725
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: just great special teams covering kicks, returning kicks, blocking punts,

726
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: all the touchdowns. But Brian Mason came from Notre Dame

727
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: and they had a boatload of block punts for touchdowns

728
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: last year with the Irish. It was really great to

729
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: see him get too in one game with the Colts.

730
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: What do you like about coach Mason and how as

731
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: you said, kind of collaborative is it with him taking

732
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: input from outside resources putting a special team's game plan together.

733
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 6: You know, Coach Mason, when you were in this business

734
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 6: and you get into your snding up the level of

735
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 6: your own personal total of manhood of your career, of

736
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 6: which he's sending up his own personal totem right now.

737
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 6: Getting an NFL job, Hitlers team coach job, there's a

738
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 6: certain levels of ego, right that you have to deal

739
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 6: with in the NFL team, And so you never know

740
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 6: what type of ego button or what type of ego

741
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 6: token someone could get going up the total right, And

742
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 6: you know, just Brian Mason, he's a very humble coach,

743
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 6: like he has he has the wherewsal to understand and

744
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 6: be able to listen. And then I think that he

745
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 6: knows everything of which a coach could assume, like, hey,

746
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 6: I got here based off what I know, so I'm

747
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 6: going to continue to do what I'm doing based off

748
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 6: what I know.

749
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 3: Like you're just a player, their player.

750
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 6: But he he's uh he's flexible enough to give guys

751
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 6: the the lane and the alley and the chair the microphone,

752
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 6: to like to speak to him, to be open to

753
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 6: the ideas, to be open to Hey, this is how

754
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 6: I've made blocks. I understand that this is how you

755
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 6: coach blocks, and to meet somewhere in between.

756
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: And you know, as a.

757
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: Player, it's a it's a pushing pool with with your

758
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 6: own personal techniques based off your strengths and weaknesses and

759
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 6: the techniques being applied by coach based off his knowledge

760
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 6: of of his of his like defense or special teams

761
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 6: or blocking schemes.

762
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: Right.

763
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 6: So, I think that leading up to this game and

764
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 6: leading up this far in this season through OTAs, I

765
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 6: think he's done an amazing job of like game planning

766
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 6: things based off of our skill set, based off of

767
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 6: what we've told him, based off of learning on the move,

768
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 6: of the difference between the NFL and college. I think

769
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 6: he's done an amazing job. I think he's an amazing coach.

770
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 6: I think he's gonna do well going forward. Also, and

771
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 6: I cannot I cannot not mention Joe Hastings, which is

772
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 6: Joe Hastings is like, I think he's the best assistance

773
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 6: besial seaming coach in the league as far as just

774
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 6: like he was a player, he brings that level of

775
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: excitement and he brings that he connects the two probably

776
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 6: behind the scenes with Mason and with players and just

777
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 6: with things that go on scene. So I think Joe

778
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 6: is definitely an instling hero.

779
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: Also, there's no doubt.

780
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point right there.

781
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: Now you mentioned earlier some of those guys who you

782
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: know started on special teams, whether that's Zay or Franklin,

783
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: Kennymore e j. Speed, you see them, you know, especially defensively,

784
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: they're key defensive players. I want to go back to

785
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: Week one, Kenny Moore suffers and injury. You have to

786
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 2: be Johnny on the spot. As you mention, you got

787
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: to be ready anytime your number is called, and there

788
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: you are. You've got to prepare all week as a

789
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: special teamer, but you've got that side. You know, you

790
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: got to be defensively sound and there you are on

791
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: the right place the right time to get that interception.

792
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: Just talk about what that weekly grind is like to

793
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: be kind of doing two things every week, preparing, but

794
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: you have to you're ready your numbers call.

795
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 6: You know, that's that's like the dark side of the

796
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 6: moon in the NFL being a second team or a

797
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 6: backup to a starter, because you you have to get

798
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 6: the mental reps instead of the physical reps as much.

799
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 6: Right So, but there is no there can be no

800
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 6: drop off because in this league there right, there is

801
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 6: no there is no level of excuses for hey no, no,

802
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 6: no no. So it's like it's a level of awareness

803
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 6: and being able to stay locked in. And you know,

804
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 6: I think that that play was just like I think

805
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 6: it was a blessing of like because it was a

806
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 6: tip ball, so I think it was a blessing and

807
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 6: only it was a tip ball, but they were in

808
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 6: thirteen personnel and we hadn't ran Nickel against thirteen personnel

809
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 6: like all.

810
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 3: The whole week or even in training camp.

811
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 6: So it was just like I think it was just

812
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 6: a blessing to me that I was doing every I

813
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 6: was doing things, I was doing things right because I

814
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 6: do a lot of think it's behind the scenes that

815
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 6: like that aren't glitz and glamy, that aren't seen. But

816
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 6: you know, you know, I'm a firm believer in like

817
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 6: you've got to plant the right seeds, whatever seeds you

818
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 6: playing you're gonna You're gonna sold whatever you plan. Whether

819
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 6: that's like resentment negative, so like I could have been

820
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 6: resentful that I'm not getting these plays. I could have

821
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 6: been resentful playing these negative seeds of like you know,

822
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 6: I should be in I should be this, But instead

823
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 6: I'm an encourager. I'm a guy who was there for

824
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 6: you for whatever you need, whether you're a backup start

825
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 6: or whatever. And I think that was just that was

826
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 6: just the fruit that came from.

827
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: That, And that's one thing I want to go to

828
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: because talking with these guys in the locker room, it

829
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: doesn't take long before Tony Brown's name comes out of

830
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: their mouth as one of the guys that you know

831
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: is in their corner. Always pump them up. You look

832
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: at this cornerback room, very youthful guys like Darryl Baker

833
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 2: Junior having to do a lot in year two, and

834
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 2: then Jalen Jones, you know, a late round rookie. What

835
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: have you done to help these young guys in the

836
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: growth that we've seen out of this secondary at this point.

837
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 6: I think based on my history throughout the NFL, you know,

838
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 6: I came in as a young corner undrafted. I started

839
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 6: for like the latter part of the season my rookie

840
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 6: year with Green Bay, and in that group, we had

841
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 6: Kevin King, we had just brought in Bashard Breelan, we

842
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 6: had Tremon Williams, JayR Alexander first round pick. So this

843
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 6: was a very talented group and I ended up starting

844
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 6: throughout the end of the year. So and I've been

845
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 6: released four times, I've been around four different five different

846
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 6: groups of corners, five different coaches. So just based off

847
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 6: my everything that I've my experience is I think I

848
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 6: helped the guys a lot and just keeping them, keeping

849
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 6: them where their feet are and not allowing the frustrations

850
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 6: of being a rookie, the frustrations of a new coach,

851
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 6: the frustrations of a new environment to intertwine and affect

852
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 6: their performance, because that's one of the biggest things. You

853
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 6: had a lot of guys that could be playing in

854
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 6: the NFL, that could be starters, but there are outside

855
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 6: things that affect their performance in which doesn't.

856
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 3: Allow them to get on the field.

857
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 6: So I'm just that guy that the rookies can like,

858
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 6: I can keep you, I can keep you aligned with

859
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 6: whatever you told me that you want to do this year.

860
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 6: You know, I can assess if I can see if

861
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 6: like something the coach said has affected them in a

862
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 6: way that you know they're trying to hide it, and

863
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 6: I can be there to ay, this is what you

864
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 6: should not what you should be doing.

865
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: But hey, just look at me.

866
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 6: It's not going It's not gonna be the end of

867
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 6: the world, you know what I mean, Like, of course

868
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 6: there's a technique that you might not agree with, but

869
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 6: this is how it goes. Of course you're not gonna

870
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: win every rip, but this is how it goes, not

871
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 6: the end of the world. I try to keep them

872
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 6: connected to the realities of being the NFL player, which

873
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 6: is that it's all a blessing.

874
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: Like every day it's a blessing.

875
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 6: When you've been cut, you get the you have a

876
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 6: better understanding of how like how much it means to you.

877
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 6: So I try to keep guys attached to that, Hey,

878
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 6: how much does this mean to you? And if it

879
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 6: means enough to you, then you won't be affected by

880
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 6: things that are kind of trivial.

881
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: After the fact, you're like too smart to this great man.

882
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: That's just way too intelligent, right, you gotta have to

883
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: dumb it down for us here Tony, Well, I mean

884
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: you talked about not having an ego. That is you.

885
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean you you just love ball. You're a great team.

886
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: We'll end with this. You are You're just unapologetically Tony Brown.

887
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean that in a great way because guys gravitate

888
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: towards you. You're a great character, you have a great personality.

889
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: And Sherry, I don't know if we can zoom in here,

890
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of putting you on the spot. But you

891
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: never wear shoes unless you're playing in a football game, right,

892
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: You're never wearing cleats or shoes unless you have to.

893
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: So there you are barefoot.

894
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

895
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean I'm getting ready for games and I'm kind

896
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: of scouting out who's out there beforehand. I'm watching the

897
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: kickers warm up, you know, seeing what their distance is

898
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: in the weather conditions and stuff like that. But also

899
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half before every game, there's

900
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: Tony Brown barefoot with his shirt off, and I'm like,

901
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: this dude is the toughest guy that the Colts have

902
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: on their roster. And it could be you know, ninety

903
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: five degrees in August for a preseason game where it

904
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: would be like negative whatever in December and January getting

905
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: ready for a playoff game. Take us through that. I mean,

906
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: where does that come from? Tony Brown?

907
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:58,320

Speaker 6: there's this level of there's a level of like aesthetic

918
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 6: there's a level of like aesthetic intimidation, right, no doubt

919
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 6: that I wanted.

920
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: Especially with you Donas. Yeah there you know with your

921
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,279

929
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 6: We're playing other teams, I'm like, hey, I want to

930
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 6: let you guys know I'm putting working. So that was

931
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 6: the mentality in my mind, we're not missing no days.

932
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 6: So that was the mentality of me going over here

933
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 6: four quarters right with no shirt against you against these rivals.

934
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 6: A bro, we're putting this work in. You're let this

935
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 6: would work? Looks like right. So moving on to the NFL,

936
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 6: I went to green Bay. From Texas went to Alabama

937
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 6: southern more southern hot, hotter type weather. So Greenback, I'm figured,

938
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: I'm trying to figure out, like, yo, how can I

939
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 6: get used to this cold? Because you cannot play if

940
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 6: you if you feel cold? Yo, game over right, game over.

941
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 6: So I'm like, okay, bet, this is what I'm gonna do.

942
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 6: I like I said, I visualization. I visualized it. That

943
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 6: wasn't enough, yo, because that wasn't said. The best thing

944
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 6: I can do is go get as cold as possible

945
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 6: prior to the game and then come back in and

946
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 6: try to feel a little warmer. So I know that

947
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 6: I gotta I got a level a little.

948
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: Warmer and cold as you can pile that I was.

949
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 6: That's right, that's the cold is like possibly to give

950
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 6: it was no shirt and it kind of became like

951
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 6: a ritual for me, like to walk around the field

952
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 6: with no shirt and I feel comfortable doing that myself

953
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 6: now and now for the feet, right all right, yeah,

954
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 6: so I'm already outside type of guy there, right right right,

955
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 6: I'm outside. I'm an outside type of guy. I'm kind

956
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 6: of from the country a little bit. I'm outside guy.

957
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: Right.

958
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 6: I had this inflammation in my heel when I was

959
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 6: with the Bengals, and I couldn't figure out where it

960
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 6: came from. And but shoes were hurting my heel, like

961
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 6: it was hurting for me to walk, and so I

962
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 6: just stopped wearing shoes, Like whenever I was at the house,

963
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 6: I was like, I feel better without wearing shoes. So

964
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 6: I started not wearing shoes and I realized, like the

965
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 6: padding of your foot is it's tougher than you.

966
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 3: Think it is.

967
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 6: I've stepped on things, stepped on sharp things, and it

968
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 6: heels quickly. But I felt better and I feel my

969
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 6: foot felt stronger, and it made me kind of look

970
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 6: up and research a little bit, like, well, it's shoeless.

971
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 6: Healthy is something that could help me athletically, and it

972
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 6: is like we were closed. We were closed to show

973
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 6: closed toe shoe boxes for the most part of our life,

974
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 6: which like brings our toes together when it's supposed to

975
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 6: be more spread out to activate all the muscles.

976
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

977
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 6: Right here we are, and think about like your footpad

978
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 6: as it strikes the ground. If you're not activating certain

979
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 6: muscles in your foot, they connect all.

980
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 3: The way up to the hill.

981
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking my shoes off right now.

982
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 3: Same thing with a push up.

983
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 6: You imagine a push up with your fingers very close together,

984
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be the same as if your fingers are

985
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 6: spread up.

986
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: Wow.

987
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 3: Same thing with your toes.

988
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 6: So I wanted to practice getting my toes where they

989
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 6: spread apart more and more often and not being close together.

990
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 6: So that's the two two or three part. Yeah, mine

991
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 6: behind me having no shoes out there.

992
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: You're way too smart for this.

993
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: Wow, man, that that's that's amazing. I appreciate you going

994
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: into that.

995
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 6: Until I appreciate you guys for asking one of those.

996
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 6: You know, I had to talk. I had to talk

997
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 6: with some people, you know, me walking around with no

998
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 6: shoes in some places you know people, I get all

999
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 6: these comments, Hey, that's nasty x y z. And sometimes

1000
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 6: it affected me like it affected me sometimes, but it

1001
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 6: didn't affect me when I realized, like in my mind,

1002
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 6: I'm like, yo, I'm doing this for for my reasons

1003
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 6: to better myself. Right, But at the end of the

1004
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 6: day I have I still have to understand that is

1005
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 6: not like it's not a part of the social norm.

1006
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 3: The social norm is to wear shoes.

1007
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 6: So when I got to understanding of that, I can

1008
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 6: deal with it better with people are looking at me

1009
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 6: weird when I have no shoes.

1010
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: So with all sandals like sandals? Is that so they

1011
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 2: have so look look slides like a Nike slide.

1012
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 6: It's a free marketing right. B BO does not paid

1013
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 6: me no money or nothing. They should Bevo Barefoot should

1014
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 6: pay me money after this. But so they have barefoot shoes.

1015
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 6: Vvo Barefoot is a good brand of shoes that I

1016
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 6: do wear. Sometimes they're wide tobox shoes that are pretty.

1017
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: They're very good.

1018
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,160

1019
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,399

1035
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: calling this welcome to the Jungle. Hot takes Cincinnati pay

1036
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: Corse Stadium. The Bengals right, they call their home field

1037
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,479
Speaker 1: advantage affectionately, it's known as the Jungle, and I dug

1038
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: this up. The five highest attended home games and nine

1039
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: of the top ten in Bengals history have occurred since

1040
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: the start of last year. All right, so they're right

1041
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: and high Ryan High. They have made the playoffs back

1042
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: to back years, AFC Championship Game appearances back to back years,

1043
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl appearance. They came up short, but they

1044
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: have won thirteen of their last seventeen home games dating

1045
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: back to Week sixteen, twenty twenty one, including the postseason,

1046
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: so right now they're feeling pretty good. They call it

1047
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: the Jungle. They play Guns n' Roses Welcome to the

1048
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: All right, casey, I know you're not gonna be at

1049
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: the game, but I'm fully prepared to hear that song

1050
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: about seventeen times. That's where I'm putting the over under there.

1051
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: So here's my hot thing for you. I still like it.

1052
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: I still like Welcome to the Jungle by Guns n' Roses.

1053
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: Does it hold up still or is it overplayed in

1054
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: sports stadium venues if you will? What's your hot take

1055
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: on GNR? I think it still holds up. I think

1056
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: it's It's one of those that I'm with you. I'm

1057
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: sure it's overplayed. Like if it comes on in the radio, I'm.

1058
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: Probably gonna skip it just because I've heard it so

1059
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: many times. But it's one of those songs you hear it,

1060
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 2: it's like, don't stop believing by you?

1061
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: All right?

1062
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 3: All right?

1063
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'm good with this. So and you got

1064
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: to give I mean, Axl Rose any money born and

1065
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 2: with La Fianna, so you gotta give a little you know,

1066
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: Indiana nod. So yeah, sure it's a little overplayed, but

1067
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: in that setting. I think it worked.

1068
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean that that that album came out when you

1069
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: were in the locker room Now came out in nineteen

1070
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven.

1071
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: It just wasn't my type of music that.

1072
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: I wrote this song. I wrote this wasn't my top

1073
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: Amazing and my Michelle or anything goes in Paradise City.

1074
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, Petite for destruction.

1075

Speaker 5: to play. And as a player, you like it because

1083
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,959
Speaker 5: it's usually you against the world, you against Dulla team

1084
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 5: and their fans.

1085
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: So you like you welcome to the jungle. Yeah, we

1086
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: like that. We want we are welcome, and we want

1087
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: to hear you scream build you're coming to the jungle.

1088
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 5: And hopefully we're going to win this football game.

1089
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: So as a former player, I like that. I like

1090
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: to hear it. There you go. It still holds up, baby,

1091
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: It still holds up. That's my take. I take number two.

1092
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: The Bengals uniforms are awesome. Oh, I think they're awesome.

1093
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: I love the uniqueness of the helmet. I know they've

1094
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,959
Speaker 1: got the white helmet with the with the Bengal Tiger. Yes,

1095
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: I still think they hold up. I think the Bengals

1096
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: uniforms are top five in the NFL. Where do you stand?

1097
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: I like the white.

1098
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 2: I like the white on white, white white shirt.

1099
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I wish they go back to

1100
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: the orange helmets in the blast.

1101
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 5: I'm not crazy about that. I'm not crazy about the

1102
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 5: orange Helman's just something about it. I just doesn't do

1103
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 5: anything for me. But the white on white I love

1104
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 5: you that.

1105
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 2: I love that.

1106
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: Look so unique in the NFL.

1107
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 2: Like all of them, I think their color scheme is perfect.

1108
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: So I think that, you know, all of the uniforms,

1109
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 2: they all kind of match. So I'm right there with you.

1110
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 2: I think they're a top five for sure, all right.

1111
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: Hot Take number three Cincinnati Chili, Skyline Chili. You know

1112
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. The spaghetti, the chili, the mound

1113
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: of like the Mount Everest mound of cheddar cheese on

1114
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: top of a Coney or a five way or a freeway.

1115
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 5: What do you think I'm gonna bust you guys, bubble,

1116
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 5: I haven't had it. Oh my, I have not had

1117
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 5: Skyline Chili.

1118
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: I have not.

1119
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 7: I really haven't.

1120
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: Since I've been there. I've never had Skyline Chili.

1121
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: This podcast. I know we're a Skyline I know about

1122
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes north we'll go.

1123
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: To objectively Way in.

1124
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 5: I passed the number of them, and I just have

1125
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 5: not stopped and got Skyline chill.

1126
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: Man, how do you think it would taste? Because either

1127
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: love it chili, I hate it.

1128
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: I love chili anyway.

1129
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: So do you think it's like the best like Midwest Yeah,

1130
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: Delicatessen if you will, or you're just like this combination

1131
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: makes no sense. It tastes good every once in a while,

1132
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: like it kind of hits the spot, but it's not

1133
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: one of those meals where you want it all the

1134
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: time because it's so heavy and so unique. I suppose

1135
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1136
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: I have a different take. I think I'm a huge

1137
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 2: Skyline fan. I like gold Star, it's the other Cincinnati,

1138
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: you know, rival to Skyline. I like a five way,

1139
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: I like the Coney's. I even like you know, they

1140
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: give you a little oyster crackers. I'll put some hot

1141
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 2: sauce on the ulster cracks. I will not do that

1142
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: anywhere else. And we'll do that at home. I don't

1143
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: know why. Yeah, when I'm there, I do that. But

1144
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: my I have I have a six year old son

1145
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: who would love Sonic, and Sonic's favorite food is a

1146
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: chili dog. So we do chili dogs at home pretty often,

1147
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 2: and we typically will buy the Skyline chili pre made

1148
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 2: chili sauce from you know, Kroger or wherever in find.

1149
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 2: So like we are chili dog fans and the value

1150
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 2: household and Bill, I'm not gonna lie. I'm a little

1151
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 2: a little upset by the never had Skyline. I mean

1152
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: I could I could go eat Skyland right now.

1153
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: What makes us so special to you?

1154
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's the thing. I don't know what

1155
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 2: I mean. I think the chili is really they're chili

1156
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: that it's perfect tasting. The cheese, I love cheese. You

1157
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 2: can never have too much cheese, you know. I could

1158
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 2: almost go with hot dogs, like if you get it,

1159
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 2: if you get the coney dogs. The dogs are pretty small,

1160
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 2: so I can always go for bigger but also like

1161
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 2: a five way with the noodles and the fries are great.

1162
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't tell you why I like it.

1163
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 7: But Chili connoisseur over there, Sherry yes or no, thumbs up, expense.

1164
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: Report, Sherry and Bill sharing a five way right there.

1165
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 1: I like it fellas good stuff right there. Plus they

1166
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: serve it at half time in the press box. That's

1167
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: a no go.

1168
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is yeah.

1169
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: I would pass on that doing the second half play

1170
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: Let's play.

1171
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 7: All right, let's right there in the podcast with Casey

1172
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 7: value Bill Brooks.

1173
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: That's one way to go to close out here. But

1174
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: hot take is, it's a huge game for the Colts,

1175
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: it's a huge game for the Bengals. Playoff implications galore

1176
