1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: All you need to know about the Colts in one place.

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: The Colts Daily Update starts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. Hey, Happy Wednesday. This is the

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Colts Daily Update tonight here on ninety three five, one

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: oh seven five. The fan a lot to get into.

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: Per usual, We got you dialed in for the next

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes or so talking Colts football. The Colts made

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: news again today. Interim coach Jeff's Saturday let off his

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday press conference with the announcement that Nick Foles will

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: start a quarterback for the Colts in Week sixteen against

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers in the upcoming game on Monday Night Football

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: in the night after Christmas. Foles will become the third

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: different starting quarterback used by the Colts this season, joining

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and Sam Ellinger. And Saturday Today explain the

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: move and why he came to that decision. Yeah, it

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like we made enough plays offensively, you

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: know we I mean, you know, there's no secret we

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: haven't converted in the red zone, we you know, and ultimately,

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you gotta make plays in the NFL, and we're not

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: making nearly an explosive plays and you know, not making

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: plays in the red zone. And again I've said this before,

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: this is not all on mat, right, I mean, this

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: is this is us entirely on an offensive perspective, and

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: but that you know, ultimately that leads into it, you know.

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: And so I feel like Nicoll give us a better

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: chance to go win these last three games, and that's

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: why we're headed that way. That's Jeff Saturday and what

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: he was alluding to right there, the fact that the

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Colts were just one for four inside the red zone

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: last time out in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: They're just six for their last twelve the Colts, that is,

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: inside the twenty yard line. This season. The Colts put

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: up thirty six points against the Vikings, but only twenty

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: two of that came from the offense, and Saturday against

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: the Vikings mark the seventh time this season the Colts

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: scored one touchdown or less in a game. During the

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Colts four game losing streaked, Matt Ryan completing only sixty

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: two percent of his passes for just over two hundred

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: yards per game. He's averaging just over six yards per

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: pass attempt, and on Saturday, the Colts yard's per attempt

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: number was only five point five, and the vertical passing

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: game has been a problem all season long. The Colts

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: haven't generated chunk plays near enough this season, and Jeff

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Saturday talked about the move to Falls maybe generating a

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: spark in that department. I hope. So, I mean, listen,

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: we've talked about we got we have. You know, at

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we have to get teams

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: out of playing their safeties at you know, seven yards

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: and you know, look, man, everybody watches all twenty two.

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: You can see it right clear as day, and so

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: at some point you have to challenge people vertically. Again,

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: that's not on one position. There's a number of positions

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: that that's involved in. But yeah, we have we have

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: to make that. But you know, whoever's at quarterback that

55
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: was that, there's no different ask there. That's Jeff Saturday.

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: And now the asque is on Nick Foles. He hasn't

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: started a game all season long for the Colts. In fact,

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: his last start came Week sixteen of last year with

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the Bears, when Chicago beat Seattle. He spent the last

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: two seasons primarily as a backup in Chicago before joining

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: the Colts this offseason. He played behind Mitch Trubisky in

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: two twenty and justin Fields in two twenty one, and

63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: in that time he started eight games, and for his

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: career has started fifty six games. He's twenty nine and

65
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven as a starter, and famously took over the

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Eagles in twenty seventeen after the injury to Carson Wentz

67
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: late in that season, guy of the Eagles to the

68
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, outdueled Tom Brady and the Patriots won Super

69
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP that season. And so he's been in this

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: situation before, and Jeff Saturday knows Nick is not going

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: to be overwhelmed with this situation. Yeah, I mean he's

72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: obviously very prepared, right, He's come in at different times

73
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: in his career and been fantastic obviously back in Philly,

74
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: I think a couple of different times, honestly in Philly,

75
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: and so I have no doubt he stays prepared. I

76
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: mean even as you go through the weeks, you see

77
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: him in preparation with the other quarterbacks in the communication.

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Those guys, it's a great room. I mean, they like

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: he is, Sam Matt, all those guys man, they pull

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: for each other, they help each other. And so you know, yeah,

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: I think he's very comfortable in this position. Obviously, I'm

82
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: sure he feels for Matt. There boys, and you know,

83
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: this is never easy in a locker room. I know

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: to the world it seems so, but it is not.

85
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys they were, you know, they have

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: relationships obviously very close. One feels for the other one

87
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: and then they're pulling for the other one. So but

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: those guys have been fantastic all season. I don't think

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: that'll change even a little bit against Jeff Saturday. This

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: is the Colts Daily Update tonight on ninety three five

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the Fan. I'm Matt Taylor

92
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: and for Nick Foles, this is going to be the

93
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: first time he's thrown to the Colts starting skilled players.

94
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: All season and training camp. He was the number two

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: quarterback behind Matt Ryan all off season, all during the

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: preseason as well, and during the regular season. He's been

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: primarily the scout team quarterback, so he hasn't taken a

98
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: snap with the first team offense all season. He was

99
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: recruited in the off season by Frank Reich, who we

100
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: knew very well from his days with the Eagles when

101
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: Reike was the offensive coordinator on that run to the

102
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. He was brought in to back up Matt

103
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: Ryan and then Frank Reich obviously even of his duties.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: In early November, Matt Ryan gets banged up. He bangs

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: up that shoulder. Sam Ellinger then starts over Foles. Now

106
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: Foles is the guy after being inactive five times this season.

107
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: So needless to say, this season has not gone according

108
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: to plan for Nick Foles when he initially signed with

109
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: the team in the spring. Oh, it's a one eighty.

110
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't have expected anything that happened this year. You know,

111
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: Frank Wright one of the best coach I've ever been around.

112
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: This's a big reason I came here and I love

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: him to death. And you know, everything that's transpired is

114
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: not what I expected. But that's sort of how life

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: goes is you you sort of expect something and God

116
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: has a way of changing it on you, and that's

117
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: for your better. I know. You know, Frank and I

118
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: will always be close to, always stay in touch. And

119
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: then it has allowed us as players to bond in

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: a unique way through different trials and tribulations that you

121
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: can only bond through, you know, going through this and uh,

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bright spots in this year with

123
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: the people you get to meet with, the people you

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: get to go to work with, and our ultimate goal

125
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: right now is to finish it and finish it the

126
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: right way. That's Nick Foles, But as we said, he's

127
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: been through this before. He's had stints with the Eagles,

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the Bears, Jaguars, Chiefs, and Rams. He's thrown for over

129
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: fourteen thousand yards in his career eighty two touchdowns. He's

130
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: playing a Super Bowl and today talked about how he's

131
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: going to prepare for Monday night against the Chargers. I

132
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: think just lock in like it's a game in practice. Obviously,

133
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: talking to the guys about different routes, different things, different cadence.

134
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: It's sort of a crash course because sometimes you're with

135
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: the team for a couple of years and then you

136
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: go in and out and you play like this is

137
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: my first time to really view with the guys. So

138
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: first off, just how I am in the huddle, what

139
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm like conducting. So for me, it also is just

140
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: trying to get that mindset of like executing this offense,

141
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: running this offense, saying these plays, because really it was training,

142
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: camping and now since then, it's been scout team cards.

143
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: But I've watched Matt and Sam do a lot of reps.

144
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: But there's always that learning curve. So I just, you know,

145
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: I gotta go out there, be in the moment, do

146
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: what I can. That's the quarterback part of it, Nick Foles.

147
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: The other part of it is center Ryan Kelly. For

148
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly, Nick Foles makes nine different starting quarterbacks he's

149
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: worked with as the starting quarterback or the starting center,

150
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: I should say, for this football team since twenty sixteen.

151
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: This is a dance that Ryan Kelly's done before, and

152
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: today talked about what goes in to a quarterback change

153
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: for him as the longest tenure colt on the roster. Yeah,

154
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's just, um, it's just the

155
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: day to day stuff, figuring out, you know, how he

156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: sees it, or what is cadences. You know, everybody's got

157
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: a little different cadence. Um, just talking things through. I

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: think that's why. You know, it's great they were playing

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Monday night. We've got an extra time to figure things out.

160
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: But um, you know, it's kind of a good thing.

161
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: There's in a situation like that where you're just you know,

162
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: you're switching last minute too. You know the guy that

163
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: who you know hadn't really taken a lot of reps

164
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: of the ones is you know, we're keeping things simple,

165
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: which is great. So you guys who go out there

166
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: and play fast and um, it just starts that. I

167
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: just puts the onus on the walkthroughs and every meeting

168
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: that we have in every practice just you know, that

169
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: much more vital. That's Ryan Kelly again. This is the

170
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: Cold Staley Update tonight on ninety three five and one

171
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: oh seven five the Fan. I'm Matt Taylor and Ryan

172
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Kelly and the Colts offense getting ready for the eight

173
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and six Chargers Monday night game, the fourth and final

174
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: primetime game this year for the Colts. The Chargers have

175
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: everything to play four in Week sixteen. As of now,

176
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs as a wildcard team, ranking six

177
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: in the AFC. They've won three of their last four,

178
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: two in a row. They're coming off a last second

179
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: win over the Titans last week. They won that game

180
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: seventeen to fourteen. Their last three games on the season

181
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: or against teams with losing records, they close out against

182
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: the Colts, Rams, and Broncos. They're gotta buy Brandon Staley

183
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: at head coach. He's in year number two. He was

184
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of the Rams before taking over the Chargers,

185
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: and they've certainly had a bit of a roller coaster

186
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: of a season, and a lot of people thought this

187
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: was going to be the year for the Chargers to

188
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: overtake the Chiefs in the AFC West, but they've had

189
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. They had to play star edge

190
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: rusher Joey Bosa and corner back j C. Jackson on

191
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: ir and they've only played two complete games on the

192
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: season with receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen who've been

193
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup due to injuries as well.

194
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert at quarterback though he's the real deal. He's

195
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: proved multiple times he's one of the best young quarterbacks

196
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: in the game. He's the first quarterback in NFL history

197
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: to throw for over four thousand yards in each of

198
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: his first three NFL seasons. So they lighted up in

199
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: the passing game on offense, and they've been better on defense.

200
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: As of late, Los Angeles has allowed seventeen or fewer

201
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: points and fewer than three hundred total yards and the

202
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: last two games against the Dolphins and Titans. Those two

203
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: teams would also be in the playoffs at the moment

204
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: as well. And earlier today, Rick Venturi on Inside Football,

205
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Our podcast on Colts dot Com and the Colts Audio Network,

206
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: he discussed the Chargers in more detail on the big picture,

207
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: the Bolts have been, you know, the last couple of years,

208
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: and maybe it's because of Herbert, They've been maybe the

209
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: most hype team that has always He's kind of underachieved.

210
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: I would say, however, though, at this moment, they have

211
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: really balled out the last two weeks. I mean, if

212
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: you watch that take that last two weeks, it really

213
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: jumps out at you. I Mean, they are flying around.

214
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: They have really played good, and I think they're playing

215
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: with confidence. You're right about Staley. I think you got

216
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: to be alert for unconventional decisions fourth down. You know,

217
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: he didn't think you always have to punt when you should.

218
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: You gotta be a you gotta be ready for that.

219
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: They have had key injuries, There's no question about that.

220
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: They're a little bit They're a little bit like Minnesota

221
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: in that their strength in his offense, if you can

222
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: just look at the numbers up and down across the board.

223
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: You know, number twelve, totally number fourteen and scoring number

224
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: two in the past. I mean, they have the potential

225
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: obviously to be a good offensive team, and yet their

226
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: defense has really struggled. Obviously, Jackson heard him out, James

227
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: has really heard him out. Now he may play against us.

228
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: He didn't play last week. He did the week before.

229
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: He's been all banged up in of course boss are

230
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: really being gone really hurts their sack potential. But this

231
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: is a team, like you said, that really really right

232
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: now is hot. There is no question that I think

233
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: what they do is they do take care of the ball.

234
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: They've got a really good turnover ratio. And Herbert's a

235
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: real deal Matt, There's no question about it. I didn't

236
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: want to like him. I've never really studied him. I've

237
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: watched him casually as a fan. This is the first

238
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: time that I really had the opportunity to watch him.

239
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: And this kid can do it all. He can really

240
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: do it all. I mean, when you talk about talent,

241
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: you can check every box. And really, I really think

242
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: that the perception that they're a really good team and

243
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: he's surrounded by a lot of good players. I think

244
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: it's a myth. I really do. I think really the

245
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: more I watch him, he elevates him. For instance, Sunday,

246
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, against Tennessee. The game is fourteen fourteen, it's tied,

247
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: and they get the ball with fifty two seconds. They

248
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: throw a couple of checkdowns. All of a sudden, he

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: breaks contain on their left side. On Tennessee's left side,

250
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: he gets out Matt full speed run, full speed run

251
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: and throws an absolute dark to Mike Williams at about

252
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: thirty five yards down field, and I'm going like wow,

253
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: and then they inevitably kicked the field goal to win it.

254
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: So I think Ekeler is the one of the most

255
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: underrated running backs. As you know, he has over thirteen

256
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: hundred total yards and I think thirteen touchdowns. He's He's

257
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: really one of the underrated, maybe the most talented guy

258
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: on their offense besides the quarterback. And then I've always

259
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: really liked Everett as the tight end. I think he's

260
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a real sleeper. And on defense, you know, they've they've

261
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: really had their struggles, as you said, they have really

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: been bad against the run. They haven't gotten the sacks,

263
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, without Bosa, you know, but they've played better

264
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: the last two weeks in their whole has been better

265
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: than the parts. Mac of course we know him. There's

266
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: a seven sack guy. Vanoya is coming on playing on

267
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: the other side, you know. They you know, Fox is

268
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: pretty good inside with three and a half. If James

269
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: comes back, he's a really good blitzer. Adderley is a

270
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: good center fielder. I mean, there's a lot of guys

271
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: that can play, you know. I think their corners are inconsistent,

272
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: but it's an offensive driven team and it's a quarterback

273
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: that is very, very dangerous. That's Rick Van Surrey and

274
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,280
