1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: The NFL never sleeps.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: The roster is ever evolving, and it's all about finding

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: the edge. This is the last word the off season

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: Hall of the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's Jeffrey Gorman and

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Matt Taylor.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: That's right coming at you every Friday evening year on

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: ninety three five and one oh seven five to the fan.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: This is the last word. We're here at the Indiana

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: Union Construction Industry Radio Studio. Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts.

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: Appreciate the work you did earlier and taking over talking

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: with John for that what thirty minutes that we did there?

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: How about that?

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: He's exhausting sometimes that's all I'm saying. I just need

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 3: it to your guy a little help when I'm talking

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: with old JMB. But I appreciate you being here today.

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: Likewise, brother, happy Friday. How are we doing tonight, may Tey?

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: We're doing great. Also showcases here which I love. This

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: is an added bonus we get him for the whole

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: show tonight, Casey value from Colts Radio Network. Appreciate you

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: being here.

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 4: Of course you say free agent frenzy and I'm ready,

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: so gall that's what we are.

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: And that's where we're starting. We're going to break down

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: the Colts' latest moves in free agency, discuss the current

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: roster the way it sits right now. We're also going

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: to hear from Colt's new quarterback, that's Daniel Jones. He

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: had a few words chirping yesterday. We're going to bring

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: that to you. But may Tay, I want to go

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: with these takeaways because Chris Ballard in this week has

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: done stuff that he hasn't done in nearly a decade

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: here of running this football operation called the Indianapolis Colts,

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: and he dipped into the free agent market this week.

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, with some gusto.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: Were you shocked at this? Were you surprised at this

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: the way that he went so aggressive?

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: No, not at all.

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: I mean, this is definitely a shift in the thinking

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 5: and the offseason, But you shouldn't be surprised because he

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 5: said he was going to do this to a degree, right.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 5: He said at the end of the season that they

41
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: needed more blood, more competition, and more top end talent

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 5: to this team. And I think they've done that with

43
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 5: some of the moves. Especially We're going to get into it,

44
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: which our various ward one of the best cornerbacks in

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: the end the last three four seasons. But yeah, again,

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 5: if you're surprised by this, I just don't think you

47
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: were paying attention there at the end of the season.

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: And definitely what he said a couple of weeks back

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 5: at the NFL Combine. So it's been busy. The Colts

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 5: have also let some in house guys go this week.

51
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 5: They've definitely brought in an influx of new blood into

52
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 5: the locker room because they didn't want to maintain the

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 5: status quo. But yeah, a lot of impactful free agents

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: from the outside. I think it's five or six outside

55
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: free agents this week, and last year, Casey, the Colts

56
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 5: only added two outside free agents, Rakwon Davis and Joe Flacco,

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: and neither of those guys were full time starters. So

58
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: definitely a shift in mentality, and I think it's at

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 5: least on paper, are going to be fruitful for the Colts.

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely.

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: I mean that's one of the things that I love

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: that you mentioned. It's like you weren't paying attention because

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: he mentioned that this was what we're going to do.

64
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: It was going to be one of those things that

65
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: Chris Ballard and you know, all those guys. I mean,

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: they worked really really hard back there trying to identify

67
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: the talent. And it's not at all that they hadn't

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: been doing that previously. It was just like, you know,

69
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: I don't know necessarily I that's gonna go.

70
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: In and help it.

71
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: And this year it's a shift. These guys are going

72
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 4: to come in and help this team.

73
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Right now.

74
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: We need to put a jolt of new as Mattis

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: said a couple times this week, new fresh blood in there.

76
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: And that's what you got.

77
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 5: Hey, you got the two biggest free agent contracts of

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 5: Chris Ballard's nine year tenure, and I think they.

79
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: Queen Cameron by them.

80
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: And right there, those two guys substantially upgrade the secondary

81
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 5: and turn a weakness into a strength just with two.

82
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: Turns into I mean, you look at the five guys

83
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: kind of slotted your three corners, your two safeties. Right now,

84
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: you're ready to go play football tomorrow. I got better, Yeah,

85
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 4: got a lot better case.

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: He stayed there for a minute. When you talk about

87
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: losing some coltson free agency, the locker room looks looks different.

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: Ryan Kelly brought a leadership to that locker room, especially

89
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: the offensive line. Will Fryes was turning into a young

90
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: leader and a good football player. Obviously we saw that

91
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: with an eighty eight million dollar contract with the Vikings

92
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: Dio Dango. A guy's had a lot of reps. And

93
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: you know, Chris Ballard was I'm a second rounder gone,

94
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: Grand Steward gone to the Lions, Kylin Granson. We just

95
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: saw the coltstein and sign in with Sarahani over at

96
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: the Eagles. That's a lot of veteran and it's a

97
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: lot of years being in that locker roomunt in this field.

98
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: The face of this franchise is going to be changing.

99
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: When we look at him is changed right now, but

100
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: when we look at this team in Westfield, completely different.

101
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And that's kind of what I expected. You

102
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: kind of anticipated, especially with you know, when he talked

103
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: about identifying, you know, maybe not bringing back everybody and

104
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: really focusing more on you. Am I bringing in the

105
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: right guys and if those guys you know, so all

106
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: of that it kind of plays its card into knowing

107
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 4: that you are going to look at a lot of

108
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: these in house free agents. They probably weren't going to

109
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: be back. But one thing you are seeing, and this

110
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: is this is one thing that kind of goes back

111
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: to the last couple of years, where it's been up

112
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: and down. You aren't getting where you want to go.

113
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 4: These guys are being targeted by their teams. There's a

114
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: reason that this team was right there on the cusp

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: the last couple of years because you had really good talent.

116
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 4: You just couldn't get over that hump. So clearly you're seeing,

117
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: I mean, especially the contracts with guys you know, Ryan Kelly,

118
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: Will Fries, dioh Dingbo. Those are big contracts. These guys

119
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: just signed and they were on this team. So there

120
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: was really good talent inside this office. But sometimes you

121
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: just gotta add some new guys into the mix.

122
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: Following in house free agents, they are all staying put. Ashtondoland,

123
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: Danny pin Or Wesley French, Cameron bind Him's coming in

124
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: a safety from the Vikings, big money contract, Mooney Ward

125
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: quarnerback from the forty nine ers, big money contract, Daniel

126
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: Jones quarterback from the Giants big money contract, Khalil Herbert

127
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: rather excuse me, a running back that they got from

128
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: the Bengals one year deal. Neville Gallimore defensive tackle help

129
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 3: Matt that we're gonna need Spencer Schrader, a kicker who

130
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: has not missed, who's been with the Colts for you know,

131
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: more than a different period last year. Yeah, but they

132
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: cut him, they brought him back and he's a practice

133
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: squad guy, so he's familiar with it. So I'm bringing

134
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: up all those moves this week. Don't forget about Corey Valentine,

135
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: who just signed earlier today. Defensive back help right there.

136
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: May te after all these Colts moves, yes or no,

137
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: this team got drastically better immediately.

138
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: I do think that it's better. You know, we talked

139
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: about the secondary. I think that's the area going into

140
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 5: the free agency period that probably need to be addressed,

141
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 5: and it was big time. Cameron Byam hasn't missed a

142
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 5: game since twenty twenty two. Smart player, really good tackler, versatile,

143
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: should be able to help lou Anarumo be games specific.

144
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: Shavarius Ward very good cornerback, one of the best in

145
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: the game the last couple of years. Like we talked about,

146
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: Khalil Herbert, proven NFL player, gives you depth behind Jonathan

147
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 5: Taylor in the running game. That was a sneaky, uh

148
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 5: you know, important need for the Colts in the offseason,

149
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: considering how big Jonathan Taylor's workload was down the stretch

150
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: of the at the end of the season. Same thing

151
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: with Gallimore on defense. Important signing because the team released

152
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 5: Raykwon Davis last week. They have to have depth to

153
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 5: spell DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart. I think that he

154
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: should be an upgrade there along the defensive line, but

155
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: I still think they're probably in the hunt for more

156
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: pieces in the draft there along that defensive line. Like

157
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: you guys talked about the the losses of Ryan Kelly

158
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 5: and Will Fries, those hurt you because they've been mainstays

159
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: along that unit. But you can't keep everybody right. You

160
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: can only a lot so much at each position. That's

161
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: why you draft, that's why you developed, That's why you're

162
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: on the hunt all the time for good depth. So

163
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 5: it looks like Tanner, Bordolini, and Matt Gonzalvez they're in

164
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: for bigger roles coming up next season. That's why I

165
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: thought it was important to re sign Wesley French and

166
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: bring back Danny Pinter this week along that offensive line.

167
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: So I still think you're gonna be hunting for more

168
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: O line depth. But all told fellas I think the

169
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: team got better this week. The secondary move from a

170
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: weakness to a strength, and the Colts have competition at

171
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: quarterback two, which is huge for this team. Considering like

172
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: you said earlier before we started the show, Jeffrey had

173
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 5: they had more consistent quarterback play last season. I think

174
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: you're talking about at least two to three more Winslute.

175
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 5: You definitely make the playoffs, and heck, you maybe win

176
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: the division.

177
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from Daniel Jones in a little bit case.

178
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: I gotta put you on the spot. You know, I

179
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: hate doing oh good, I hate doing that team you

180
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: love it. I'm gonna try to do I'm gonna throw

181
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: four names at you buying them Ward, Jones and Herbert

182
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: knew four of the newest free agent signings, which one

183
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: of those is gonna make the biggest impact this it's

184
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: just a guess, just to have some fun with me

185
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: on this one. But of those four new free agent signings,

186
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: which one has the biggest role?

187
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 4: I mean, right now, I think, as it sits, I

188
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: think it's Tarvarius Ward. I think he is a guy

189
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: that when he was at his best, which was just

190
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: you know, twenty twenty three, this guy was an All

191
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 4: Pro you know, over twenty some odd passes defense, and

192
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: he locked down the opposing team's best player. And it

193
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: sounds like he kind of let us in a little

194
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: bit that that's kind of what loun Rumo is expecting

195
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: him to do, is kind of take away the team,

196
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: you know, the opposing team's best player. And I think

197
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: that's something that this team has missed. Yeah, you talk

198
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 4: about the the best players for the last couple of

199
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: years have really had their best days against the Colt Stefens.

200
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: So I think he has in my eyes right now,

201
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: the chance to be the biggest impact. But you talk

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: about a quarterback being in there, so we see competition.

203
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones could later on be the guy that is

204
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: probably the biggest erition.

205
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: We're playing the leak neighbors. We know who's gonna be

206
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 3: on him as we're telling yes, hey, I love that thing.

207
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: May Tay stay there. You talked. We talked a little

208
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: bit about DJ coming in here, Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.

209
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: I want to stick at the quarterback position with you

210
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: for a second. The off season storyline, Okay, we got

211
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: to start building this thing up, and I don't mean,

212
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: you know, in a narrative that isn't true. It's a

213
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: true quarterback competition, and these guys are gonna come in

214
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: and Anthony Richardson has said publicly, Hey, I welcome it.

215
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna make me better. Daniel Jones we hear him

216
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: the other day when he talked about, yeah, competition. You know,

217
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: obviously iron sharpens iron type of mentality. What are we

218
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about these two? Does it really come

219
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: down to one thing and that's three weeks in August

220
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: when these guys are facing live ammunition and whoever comes

221
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: out best gets the ball.

222
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

223
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 5: I mean when you look at the two different quarterbacks,

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: you look at Anthony Richardson, He's got one of the

225
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 5: NFL's strongest arms, he's got the downfield ability to push

226
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: the ball, create big plays, and you know he's just

227
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: so strong and sturdy. He avoids sacks like nobody else

228
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: in the NFL. And then you got Daniel Jones, and

229
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: he's known for making the smart efficient play much higher

230
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: completion percentage than Anthony Richardson at this stage in his career,

231
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: hasn't been known to produce the big plays like Anthony

232
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: Richardson can Jones has struggled with turnovers in the past.

233
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 5: I think that's going to be the most interesting thing

234
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 5: about Jones in the offense here with with Shane steike

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 5: and now can they get Jones to tap more into

236
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 5: the big plays in this offense that's been centered around

237
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 5: explosive plays with Shane stikeen at the helm, There's three

238
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: receivers regardless of who the quarterback is. There's three receivers

239
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: here that are over eight hundred yards receiving last year.

240
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: So I do think it's going to be interesting to

241
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: watch this this competition play out because you do have

242
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: similar skill sets with these guys, and then in other

243
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 5: cases they couldn't be more polar opposites. I mean, Jones

244
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: has shown to have NFL level accuracy question, whereas Anthony

245
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 5: Richardson is still trying to figure that out. Absolutely, but

246
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 5: Jones can run. He's a deceptively good running quarterback unless.

247
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: He stumbles over his own feet or the ten yard line.

248
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: We've seen that famous play from a few years ago.

249
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: Other than that, but I'm just gonna say this and

250
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: I'll leave it here. Daniel Jones was drafted into an

251
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: environment called New York City. That is tough luck to

252
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: be in when you're the quarterback of the franchise, whether

253
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: you're the Jets or the Giants thrown into it. By

254
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: the way, he was booed. There was some booze on

255
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: Draft night when that pick came in. I'm just saying,

256
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: tough place. Still live here. He's going to be in

257
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: a warm embrace. He's going in the competition. He's in

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: the cornfields of Indiana. This move will make a difference

259
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: for Daniel Jones coming in this year. I firmly believe

260
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: he's going to give everything and then some to Anthony

261
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: Richardson when it comes to this quarterback cop.

262
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, and that's what you're looking for, you know,

263
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: that is what you're looking for.

264
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere because DJ is coming up. Don't forget

480
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: or no no no no no no no no. I'm

481
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: gonna go football and then I'll come back with this. Okay,

482
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: the tight end position of this roster Matt Taylor. I

483
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: guess what I'm asking. We saw Kylin grants and go

484
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: to the Eagles. Will a free agent be brought into

485
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: this group or will it strictly be a draft choice

486
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: or an undrafted free undrafted free agent you think?

487
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 5: My gut says it's probably the draft, probably the fourteenth overall. Well,

488
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 5: I don't know about that. At eight, I mean, the

489
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: draft is very deep. I think you can get maybe

490
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 5: eighty eighty to eighty to eighty five percent of the

491
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: players you can nab in the second and third round

492
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 5: that you could in the first round. That's our same

493
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: skill set though, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

494
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: Now you may not get a Tyler.

495
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: Like I said, you're not going to get one hundred

496
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: percent of Tyler Warren in the second round, but you

497
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 5: get pretty close, which means maybe the Colts think you

498
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 5: can get better value because the gap is bigger at

499
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 5: a at another position of need somewhere else.

500
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: If you will that that the youngster, for you know,

501
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: in case from northern Illinois is intriguing, right, one hundred

502
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 3: and ten catches last year for that tide Oh, Bowling Green, yeah,

503
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 3: or Bowling Green right, kept right on par with that.

504
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: Of course I butchered where it went. But I'm just

505
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: saying a Mac guy who's got one hundred and ten

506
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: balls in a Mac season, I mean, this guy's gonna

507
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: come in, he's going to go to somebody. Don't know

508
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: where he's going. But I'm saying there is a lot

509
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: of there's.

510
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: A couple in guys for sure.

511
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: And then we have to do the forum question here

512
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 5: we do we got it. I mean they're paying the bills.

513
00:22:59,040 --> 00:22:59,600
