But 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna sneak in some Colts talk now for a 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: few minutes. I'm Matt Taylor normally driving the bus.

He ain't here. 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Bottom line. That's the voice of Casey Valier with me. 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,319 Speaker 1: Tonight's showcase. What's going on? Man? I had a whole lot. 17 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, how are you, buddy? I'm doing fantastic. By 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: the way, For those that don't know, Casey Valley is 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: the four year old Baseball Coach of the Year in 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: Hambleton County. You just picked up that award last weekend. Congratulation. 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Thank you. I had to give a speech and everything. 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, that's one thing, you know. 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: I love that you mentioned that there is um, there 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: is something too coaching T ball. It really humbles you 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: because you know, I was a guy who played college baseball, 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: so I feel like I know a lot about baseball 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: and trying to get four year olds to play T ball, boy, 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: that is a challenge. First base, Okay, when he hits 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: you go to second base. Well that's stop, stop, go. 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: It's hard for them to understand. Well, the hardest thing 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: that we've struggled with is the fact that they know 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: when they're on defense the goal is to just go 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: get the ball. Well, they forget about that when they're 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: on offense, so they'll hit the ball off the tea 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: and they run to get the ball. So it's like 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: you've got both teams essentially all coming for the baseball 37 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: and said, hey, hey, no we go to first. But 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: then you tell them what first base is and they 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: have no idea what that means. You're like, all right, 40 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: you gotta go touch that big white base square looking 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: thing over there. So yeah, it's it's a challenging thing, 42 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: but it is great. I'll tell you that. What's your record, 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Oh we don't. We don't keep score. Oh, yes you do. 44 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: We we don't keep scoring. We don't keep scoring. But 45 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: there's some there's some Grandpaul down the first baseline keeping score. 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: I would agree with that. But the only thing is 47 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: it all it all. It all depends on what team 48 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: has more players, because you only advance one base per 49 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: at bat. So you know, for us, we have seven players, 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: so every inning we score seven runs. I got you. 51 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: And we've played against some teams that have nine, some 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: teams that had five, you know, so it's all over 53 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the map. We kind of we look them up and 54 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: down and we get there and we go, okay, we 55 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: got more players, so we're gonna win. We're gonna win 56 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: today based on the roster size. I like it exactly. Well, 57 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: good luck to you coming up this weekend. The season 58 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: rolls on for Casey. The last word rolls on.

We'll discuss another running back in 64 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: the fold and talk about the players who are facing 65 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: a big off season for a variety of reasons for 66 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the Colts here in twenty twenty two. And we're gonna 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: close out the show tonight we'll hear from an Indianapolis 68 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: Colts legend, also in Indianapolis City icon, Jimmy Maddog made 69 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: us case. He recently announced his retirement. He's going to 70 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: join us on the show tonight. I know I speak 71 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: for both of us. We have a strong affinity for 72 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Maddog made us Who's done tons for us, both 73 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: personally and professionally. It was one of those things that 74 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: being a radio guy my whole life, I've always I've 75 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: listened to the radio for so long I've lived in 76 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: Indianapolis my entire life. Dog has always been, you know, 77 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: in the background of me growing up, right, So when 78 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: I got to meet him, you know, it's kind of 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: one of those icon things. You know they always say, 80 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: don't ever meet your heroes. Well, if dog was your hero, 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: he's the one hero you definitely want to meet because 82 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: he is as awesome of a person on the mic 83 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: as he is off. I mean, it's definitely been a 84 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: pleasure and a privilege to have known Jimmy maddog made 85 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: us and I wish him all the best in retire. 86 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna miss him around here. But oh, he ain't 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: doing nothing right. He's just he's sitting around poolhouse and 88 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: he's playing with the ball. He's cutting grass. He's now 89 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: a Grandpaul too, So fantastic. We'll hear from Dag coming 90 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: up later on in the show here all right. This week, 91 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the Colts were busy. They signed another free agent running back, 92 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay in the fold now casey. Last season, he 93 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: split time with Houston and Miami. Before that, he broke 94 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: in with Denver and just set things on fire. He 95 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: rushed for over a thousand yards in each of his 96 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: first two seasons in the NFL and twenty eighteen and 97 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. In fact, in his rookie season, he became 98 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: the first offensive rookie undrafted free agent to make the 99 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. So what did you make of this signing? 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Early on in the week here on offense for the 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: Colts at running back. I mean, I think it's always 102 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: a good signing we can get a proven guy in 103 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: the building. I know last year was you know, when 104 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: you look at his numbers, it was definitely a down year. 105 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: His last two seasons haven't been what his first two 106 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: season in the NFL were, But he does have a 107 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: track record. He's a guy who's been there and done that. 108 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: And you can never have too much depth, especially at 109 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: a position where you know, knock on wood, injuries are 110 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: a little more pre event at that running back spots, 111 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: you can't always you can always have an insurance policy. 112 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: But I think kind of way the way I look 113 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: at this is we've heard more and more of Naim 114 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: Hines in the slot. So I have a feeling that 115 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: this is just a signing to show, hey, we're gonna 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: get a little bit more guys that are more comfortable 117 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: just kind of staying in the backfield, like Jonathan Taylor, 118 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: to keep you know, both guys on the field at 119 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: the same time, with Taylor and Hines, and then if 120 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: you need a splash from Taylor or whatever, you can 121 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: throw a guy in there in Philip Lindsay who's got 122 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: some experience. Yeah, should he manke the roster. I think 123 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: to your point, he's a nice little insurance package for 124 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's an all world talent, arguably the best 125 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: running back in the game. But remember the Colts are 126 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: just you know, they're one injury away from meeting a 127 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: bell cow back to step up and replace him. And 128 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: he's done that. He's a proven featured back in this league. 129 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: And I think it's it's sort of similar to Marlon 130 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: Mac last year. Mac was a former one thousand yard 131 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: back in his own right, but he was inactive for 132 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: ten games last season because just quite frankly, Jonathan Taylor's 133 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and Mac didn't play a lot on special teams, 134 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: which led to him being inactive for most Sundays. So 135 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: this could be the same sort of thing with Lindsay 136 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: making the roster. If again, he's competing with guys like 137 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: Dion Jackson's some of the other undrafted free agents of 138 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: the Colts signed after the draft, it's going to be 139 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: some good competition on the roster right now for that 140 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: third and fourth running back spot on the team. I 141 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: mentioned Marlon Mack. I got some calls, I got some 142 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: texts from friends. You know that are just fans and 143 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: they want to know, Hey, we bring in Philip Lindsay, 144 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: who's a one thousand yard guy. He's on the open market. 145 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack was on the open market. The Colts have 146 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: intel on him another one thousand yard back. Why why 147 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: did the Colts sign Philip Lindsay but not resigned Marlon 148 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: Mack for at least on paper, similar roles. It's a 149 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: really good question. I think it's one of those things 150 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: that I don't know. I'm if i'm speaking, you know, 151 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: what the staff feels. I don't know if it's maybe 152 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: just me talking. I feel like Marlon Mack maybe has 153 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: a little higher ceiling, if that makes any sense. So 154 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: it's almost one of those things where they looked at 155 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: the roster and said, hey, Marlin, we love what you 156 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: can give us, but Jonathan Taylor, anytime we're limiting carriers 157 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: for him, we feel like it hampers the offense a 158 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: little bit. They looked at it and said, hey, man, 159 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: we've had we've had a great relationship with you during 160 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: your entire ten year here. I mean last year there 161 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: was that whole trade request happened, and everybody talked about 162 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: how this is like the nicest trade request in the 163 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: history of because both sides were just they were both 164 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: in agreement that, hey, this guy's a guy that can 165 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: go out and be successful somewhere. We just don't know 166 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: if that's here. So I think it was one of 167 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: those things more where Chris Ballard kind of looked at 168 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Marlin and said, hey, you know what, You've got an 169 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to go be successful elsewhere, and that might be 170 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: the best situation for you. So I think that's what 171 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: it was. It was kind of best for both parties. 172 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: And I think with Philip Lindsay, he's a guy that 173 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: they probably targeted and didn't know whether or not he'd 174 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: be available, and then they come to this time in 175 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: May where they're like, hey, we can bring in a 176 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: guy who's had a thousand yards here we go. So 177 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: I think that's all it was. I don't think it 178 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: had to do with Philip Lindsay over Marlin Mac. I 179 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: think it was more just situational. Yeah, and again Lindsay 180 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: is a guy who lit it up in his first 181 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: two years of his career, offered his own injury, just 182 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: like Marlon Mack in twenty twenty. I mean that that 183 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: injury for Mac was so untimely because if you go 184 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: back to the first quarter and a half week one 185 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville two twenty Marlin Mac looks like he's gonna 186 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: make the Pro Bowl and that small sample size and 187 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: then he terrace his achilles. Everything after that just didn't 188 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: work out because then Jonathan Taylor emerged, and again he 189 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: is who he is based on his talent. But yeah, 190 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay is a guy that suffered his own injury. 191 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: Just wasn't the same guy last year with two different teams. 192 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: Looking to continue his NFL career here with the Colts 193 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: on a one year contract. Let's take a look at 194 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: the wide receivers again heading into OTAs, which start next week. 195 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: Next week starts Phase three, which means organized team activities. 196 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: The Colts will have two weeks of OTAs before the 197 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: mandatory minicamp coming up in June. A lot of the 198 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: focus this offseason case he has been on the wide 199 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: receivers and that room now got to buy Reggie Wayne, 200 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: So let's talk about it. Heading into OTAs, which that's 201 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: when things really kind of start to ramp up here. 202 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: Does any other Colts position group have more to demonstrate 203 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: all eyeballs will be out there watching those guys when 204 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: the media has a chance to watch OTA's in the 205 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. Any other position group that has 206 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: more to again demonstrate than those whiteouts, I don't know 207 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: if there does. I mean, it's one of those that 208 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: we've been talking about and talking about, and then you 209 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: look at the other signings in free agency that's happened. 210 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: The wide receiver group kind of stayed intact. There wasn't 211 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: too many outside things brought in outside of your drafted 212 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver and Alec Pierce and then some undrafted guys 213 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: that are in there. So but we've heard that this 214 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: staff is very high on this group, and I know 215 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: that Reggie Wayne talks about how they've got a lot 216 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: to prove and they're kind of taking us to the 217 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: chip on their shoulder. So there is a lot to prove, 218 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: and I do think that this is kind of the 219 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: group to look at. Maybe corner I might put that 220 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: in there, just because you're always evaluating that spot. You'll 221 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: lose Rocky Scene and Xavier Rhads, who are both here 222 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: last year, so you're bringing some new guys into the fold. 223 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: So that might be the other group that I would 224 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: throw in there, but definitely wide receiver for sure. Yeah, 225 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: you brought up Gie Wayne. He talked a couple of 226 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: weeks ago. He's now in the fold. He's the position 227 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: coach at wide receiver for the Colts. He talked a 228 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago about what he sees from the 229 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: Colts young wide receivers in that core this offseason. These 230 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: dudes are hungry, man, They're hungry. It's kind of funny, 231 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: like I kind of wonder, coming in with such a 232 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: young room, how that would be, you know, because ideally, 233 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: or now, most of the times you have a veteran 234 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: guy in there that can kind of, you know, lead 235 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: the way and be like, hey watch him watch what 236 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: you do, or they can kind of, you know, see 237 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: him do and they stand in line behind him. You know. 238 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: But and I was kind of worried about being young. 239 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: But I got in there talking to the dudes. These 240 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: dudes got so many questions, and I think they I 241 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: think they really do want to get better. You know, 242 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: they feel like they didn't do it right, do it right? 243 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: They get back in line without me and telling him too, 244 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So like there's little things 245 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: just watching them in there and a lot in a 246 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: lot of cases, I'm learning from them because they know 247 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: to play book better than that dude, you know what 248 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: I mean. So it's one of those things where these 249 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: guys just there determined would be better. I think this 250 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: is me person and they're probably feel a little disrespected. 251 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: So they did one kind. Yeah, And I know they 252 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: feel disrespected because they hear talk radio, they read everything. 253 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: And I think the wide receiver room this year Casey 254 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: is somewhat similar to the defensive end room last year, right, 255 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: But I think the difference here is that the ceiling 256 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: is higher for the upcoming season. Last year, the Colts 257 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: didn't bring back Justin Houston, they didn't bring back to 258 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: n Eco Autrey. They decided to give guys bigger roles 259 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: like al KaDee Muhammad, Kamoca Terrey. And I think it's 260 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: kind of similar to that. You've got Michael Pittman Junr. 261 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: The Colts haven't brought back t Y Hilton, Zach Pascal Leaves. 262 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: In free agency, you invest at the top of the draft, 263 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: Aleck Pierce, He's gonna have to have a big role. 264 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: You need something out of Paris Campbell, who will talk 265 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: about in just a minute. You need somebody to merge 266 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: from that group that we've been talking about all offseason. 267 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: Patman Strong doing QT. It's really interesting. There's no question 268 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: the Colts are banking on someone at least a few 269 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: guys actually from that young talent pool to step up 270 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: and we'll see how it plays out. And it's going 271 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: to be on full display again next week in OTAs 272 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: with eleven on eleven stuff getting going absolutely. I mean, 273 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about this and I think one 274 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: of the things I always always like what you say. 275 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: It kind of talks about quarterbacks throughout their league, But 276 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: it's that fear of the unknown. You stick with a 277 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: guy even though you don't think he's top tier because 278 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what else is out there. People are 279 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: a little worried about that fear of the unknown because 280 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: the wide receivers in this room they haven't been out 281 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: there and proved it. But you know, this staff is 282 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: very high on a lot of these guys, and I 283 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: think you see you see glimpses from there's a couple 284 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: of these guys you can look at that maybe they 285 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: haven't had explosive time in the offense, but you look 286 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: at what they've done in a short span and you go, Okay, 287 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: they've got some traits that can really put on display 288 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: and really elevate if they get more of a role. 289 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: So guys like Ashton Dulan, I mean, Kiki Qt. We 290 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: saw what he did as a member of the Texans 291 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: against the Colts. So they've shown it in minor little glimpse, 292 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: like minor little spurts here, But I think it'll be 293 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: really fun to kind of see what they do with 294 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: an expanded role this year in the offense. Also too, 295 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: have you seen the Colts roster? I was I was 296 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: peering over that the other day. How big they are 297 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: that the skill players that the Colts have on offense 298 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: between wide receiver and tight end. I know it's a 299 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: concerted effort. I know the Colts prioritize that, but just 300 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: to see it on paper. And then last week with 301 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: the rookie Minicamp seeing Gilanni Woods, oh holy my, I 302 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: mean Gilanni Woods is six foot seven. Drew Ogletree in 303 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the sixth round tight end, he's six foot seven. Alec 304 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: Pierce is what six foot three, six foot four, Patman 305 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: six five, Stron six five, Moiley Cock six seven Michael 306 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: Pittman Junior, six foot four. I mean, what does the 307 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: size of these skill players tell you about what they 308 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: prioritize and what can this do for Matt Ryan at quarterback? Well, definitely, 309 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard has a type, that's for sure. You can 310 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: you could definitely say that he likes the big bodies. 311 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: But I mean, for me, if I was an outside 312 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: quarterback coming in and I can know that I can 313 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: just throw it up and these guys are gonna go 314 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: get it, that's got to be an easier way for 315 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan to go to sleep at night to know, 316 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, you got a guy like Moali Cox or 317 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: even if it's Jilani Woods or you know, any of 318 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: these other guys, you can just throw the football, especially 319 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: in red zone. That's one of the things I look 320 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: at this. It's like you look at the red oh man. 321 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: I mean, having the size that is that is huge. Yeah, 322 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: you talk about these big guys, they create mismatches, they 323 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: create leverage. And when you have a guy like Matt 324 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Ryan who's incredibly accurate as a pass or always in 325 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: that neighborhood of sixty seven sixty eight percent completion percentage, 326 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: that's when you get a big advantage to create some 327 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: plays on offense. All right, time for a quick time out. 328 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll tell you about the jersey 329 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: numbers of the Colts rookie draft class. We'll also discuss 330 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: which Colts players have something to prove this off season 331 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: heading into training camp.

But I don't know 349 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: if I agree with that. I think he was trying something. 350 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I gotta give him a tip of the calf. I 351 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: thought the hair was on point. Yeah, he looks good, man, 352 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: he looks good. He pulls it off.

It was fascinating. 376 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: He talked about how the NFL boils down the schedule 377 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: out of hundreds of thousands of possibilities that the computer 378 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: spits it out. Then they have to sift through all 379 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: of these outcomes to see primetime games, getting teams adequate rest, 380 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: no three game road trips, all of those things. We 381 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: also talk about why the Colts have so many AFC 382 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: South games right away, so check that out on Colts 383 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: dot Com and the Colts Audio Network. And we also 384 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: had a one on one this week with Colts wide 385 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: receiver Paris Campbell, who was healthy. He's flying around, he's 386 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: making place. He said earlier this week that this casey 387 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: is his first healthy off season in the NFL. Think 388 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: about that, three off seasons going into year four. He 389 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: finally feels like himself coming out of Ohio State. I mean, 390 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. And I mean for a 391 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: guy who's had to overcome so much, he's such a 392 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: positive person, which is that's key, especially when you think 393 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: about all of the injuries that have kind of hampered 394 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: his career. To be able to still go in with 395 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: that positive mindset. You just you pull for a guy 396 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: like that. That's what it is. That's what it is. 397 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: It's attitude. It's he's only played fifteen games in three 398 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: years with the Colts because multitude of injuries. So check 399 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: out those podcasts right now on Colts dot Com, the 400 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: Colts Mobile app, and again the Colts Audio Network, anywhere 401 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: you download your podcast. The Colts Offseason Workout Program, as 402 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: we said, it's morphing into phase three next week. That 403 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: means the start of OTAs no live contact, but you're 404 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna have seven on seven. You'll have nine on nine 405 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: drills and eleven on eleven drills are allowed. So it's 406 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: the closest thing to real football we're gonna get before 407 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: a training camp. So with that casey, as we teased 408 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: in the last segment, give me some players that need 409 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: to have a big off season heading into OTAs. Give 410 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: me your top three guys that need to make a 411 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: jump for whatever reason. It could be production, it could 412 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: be injury, it could be the Colts need more out 413 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: of this guy from a roster s dampoint. Give me 414 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: your top three guys that you're watching this offseason. So 415 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Cary Willis. I mean the Colts 416 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: they brought in Roddy McLeod, who's approven safety. They also 417 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: drafted Nick Cross. So when you look at that safety group, 418 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: we've got Julian Blackman coming off the Achilles, but you 419 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: got you got four guys in the mix that all 420 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: have you know, starting level potential out there at that 421 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: safety spot. So I look at Cary Willis. Injuries have 422 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: kind of plagued him. You know, he's had nagging things. Yeah, 423 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: he's missed eight games last two years. It's been tough. 424 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: And when he's on the field, you always know where 425 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: he is. And Cary is a guy he's put his 426 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: imprint on the game. But I definitely think there's a 427 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: lot riding on this offseason because of just the depth 428 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: of that group. So outside of Cary Willis, I go 429 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: with a guy Dio Dangbo in year two. You look 430 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: at the defensive end group, when you add Yannike and Ghakway, 431 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: you've got Quitty pay There's a lot in there. I 432 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: think Dio has a big opportunity in year two. So 433 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: I think this offseason of you being away from the 434 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: Achilles that he came in as a rookie, so he's 435 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: got his first real offseason here with the Colts. He 436 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: can get in to the playbook a little bit more, 437 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: dive into all of that stuff. I think it's a 438 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: big offseason for him as he comes in a year two. 439 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: And then my other guy, I think Isaiah Rodgers. You 440 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: look at that cornerball spot, you got Stefan Gilmore. That 441 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: a huge, huge opportunity. I mean Xavier, as we talk 442 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: about Xavier Rhodes and rock you scene are out of 443 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: the picture here right now as we look at this roster, 444 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: Rocky scene is with the Raiders. Xavier Rohads still a 445 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: free agent. You've got Stefan Gilmore who they brought in. 446 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: You got Kenny Moore, you can slide in. I think 447 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: that Isaiah Rodgers showed a lot of promise last year 448 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: in year two. You know what he can do from 449 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: a return standpoint, but I think he was able to 450 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: show defensively what he can do last year a little 451 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: bit more so. I think it's a big opportunity for 452 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers in this defense. I would agree with those 453 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I would also throw in Ben Banigu. Yeah, you know 454 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: a huge Colts want to play in waves. They want 455 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: to play with eight guys with that fresh rotation on 456 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: the defensive line. Now, players that were part of that wave, 457 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: that rotation, they're gone. You know, al KaDee Muhammad goes 458 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: to the Bears, Kamoca Terrey is now with the forty 459 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: nine ers. The Colts are counting on Banigou to take 460 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: a jump and you know, factoring into that rotation, I 461 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: believe he's going into a contract year as well. He's 462 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: another guy that was part of that twenty nineteen draft class. 463 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean last year he played less than one percent 464 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: of the team's defensive snaps, just two and a half 465 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: sacks for his career. Not that the sacks or the 466 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: end all be all, but he's been inactive fifteen games 467 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: the last two years, eight games last year, second round pick. 468 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody knows it's time to go. Everybody wants 469 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: to see Ben blossom, and I think he's going to 470 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: have a major opportunity coming up this year. And then 471 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, like we talked about, for obvious reasons, through 472 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: no fault of his own, you know, just some of 473 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: the worst luck you're ever going to see a guy 474 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: get and again heading into a contract year. The Colts 475 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: have a very young wide receiver corps. They would love 476 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: to see Paris Campbell reach that full potential, stay healthy, 477 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: you know, that play making ability yards after catch with 478 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: this offense and Matt Ryan getting rid of the ball fast. 479 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: I think he still has a chance to be the 480 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: number two wide receiver on this team right if he 481 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: can stay healthy. And we again we talked to him 482 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: earlier this week on the Colds Audio Network. We had 483 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: a one on one interview with him in the studio. 484 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: Check out this sound bite that he has Paris Campbell 485 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: on his hunger level both personally and from a team 486 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: standpoint heading into next season. Yeah, personally, Shoot, I'm more 487 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: hunger than I ever been. Like, this is year four, 488 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: This is contract year for me. This is a big year, 489 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: big year not only for myself but from my family. 490 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna do everything I can to help this team. 491 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: And obviously, you know, from a team aspect, like like 492 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: we've accomplished so much, Like individually as a team, like 493 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: we've had guys you know, go to Pro Bowl, All 494 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: Pro all this stuff, but like collectively, we haven't, Like 495 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: we haven't done anything at least for the time that 496 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: I've been here. Yeah, we had a couple playoff appearances, 497 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: wild cards, whatever, But like we need to the talent 498 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: on this team, Like the team sealing is is so high, 499 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we we have all 500 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: the right pieces. We's gotta make it working. Not only myself, 501 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: but I know every single guy in out locker room 502 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: is hungry. Do you know to do something great? Be special? Man, 503 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: that's a great quote. I mean, man, you love it. 504 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: He knows It's a big year. Hey, this is my 505 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: football livelihood on the line here. If I want to 506 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: continue playing this game in this league, this is a 507 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: big time year for me. Also a great quote about 508 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the team's success. We haven't done anything since I've been here, 509 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: no division title since twenty nineteen, no playoff wins. It's time. 510 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: And also in that interview I did with him again 511 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: earlier this week check it out, Paris talked about there's 512 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: parts of his game that the fan base hasn't even seen. Right, 513 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: in three years, he hasn't been able to show it. 514 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: He's been working with five different quarterbacks. He's been incredibly unlucky, 515 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to even come close to showing what 516 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: he can do at full go for you know, a 517 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: full sixteen or in this case, seventeen game regular season. 518 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: That's the toughest parts. When he's on the field, he's effective. 519 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: I mean every you know, he said he's played what 520 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: fifteen games for ten games. I mean, if you look 521 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: at the stats in those fifteen games, he has been 522 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: productive within those games. But you look at these freak 523 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: accidents like last year, I mean, he scores a touchdown 524 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: on one of the I mean, probably one of the 525 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: most notable plays of the year, right, and it just 526 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 1: so happens that a guy lands on his foot when 527 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: he comes down and breaks his foot and he's like 528 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: and then he's labeled as injury, right. I mean it's like, 529 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: how is that his fault? I mean, the guy gets open, 530 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: scores a touchdown, huge play, and that's where I mean 531 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: it's just such bad luck. And like I mentioned earlier, 532 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean the positive outlook this guy has. You just 533 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: pull for him, and I'm anxious to see those parts 534 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: of his game that he hasn't been able to show 535 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: the fans, because you know, we've all seen it when 536 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: he's on the practice field during training camp. There's certain 537 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: things you're like, wow, man, when Paris Campbell is healthy, 538 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: watch out. I'm really excited to kind of see if 539 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: he can get a full year healthy what he can show, 540 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: because I do think that the potential is there. He's 541 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: had it in glimpses here and there, but if he 542 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: can put it all together, I think there's a lot 543 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: in him that you know you mentioned he could be 544 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: that number two guy. I think absolutely he's got that 545 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: in him to be the number two guy in this off. 546 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: And then you throw Alec Pearson there, having three dynamic 547 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: guys that could be really really huge for Matt Ryan. 548 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: And if you and if you get that out of 549 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell this year, that's like gravy. That's that's like 550 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: a bonus draft pick that you get this year because 551 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: you just haven't been able to count on it in 552 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Again through no fault of 553 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: his own, I should say, because of all the injuries 554 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: that he has sustained. That's Casey Valley. I'm Matt Taylor. 555 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: This is the last word. We're talking Colts.

He 610 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: is one of six players still currently in the NFL 611 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: from the two thousand and eight draft class. Can you 612 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: name the other five? Oh? Boy? Can I get any hints? 613 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: What were you doing in two thousand and eight? First 614 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: of all, two thousand and eight, I was a senior 615 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: in high school. That was a year I graduated high school. 616 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna think quarterbacks, think quarterbacks, old quarterbacks, and they're 617 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: still playing play Are they still starters? Uh? No? Um? 618 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson, he's been bouncing around. What year was home 619 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: drafted two thousand and eight? Okay, all right, John, all right, 620 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: here's the question. Okay, hell did you get Josh john 621 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking of old quarterbacks that aren't starters who 622 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: have been around a long time. Yeah, but I never whatever. 623 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: He's the He's the last guy on the list I 624 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: ever thought you would have you would have gotten, And 625 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: he's the first guy you roll off. We saw him 626 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: last year when he case with the Jets. With the Jets, yeah, 627 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: all right, this this guy's also on the Jets. Now 628 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: backup quarterback is Flacco with the Joe Flacco, ding Ding Ding. 629 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: And there's another backup quarterback in the AFC. In the 630 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: AFC West, I'll give you Henny's Patrick Mahomes's backup at 631 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: the moment is Chase Daniels still playing, No Chad Henny, 632 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Chad Henny. So those your quarterbacks yet. And then a 633 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: guy that's still getting it done Kalaius Campbell with the 634 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, maybe the best special teams player of the 635 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: last fifteen years. With new Slater, Matthew Slater, ding ding Ding, 636 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: So Flacco, Kalaius Campbell, Chad Henny, Matthew Slater, and Josh 637 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: john that was impressive. All of those guys unbelievable. They 638 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: joined Matt Ryan as the only players still going drafted 639 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: in the two thousand and eight draft class. Now, there 640 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: is a little bit of a caveat that I pulled up. 641 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown and DeShawn Jackson currently free agents, but they 642 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: both played in twenty twenty one. But neither guy on 643 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: active rosters here at the moment. So Dwayne Brown will 644 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: probably be ses. He will, yeah, he'll be on a roster. 645 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: Not sure about Deshaun Jackson, but he could fly back 646 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: in the day, visit the forum credit Union fan forum 647 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: section of Colts dot com to interact with other fans online.

Well, now these guys are my 745 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: kids's age. Yeah right, And with a matter of fact, 746 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: my kids would be veterans on this yeah right, yeah, 747 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: second and third contract right yeah. So um, but it 748 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: just so quickly became a fabric and it was funny, 749 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: you know how it is when you grow up here, 750 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: we considered this our town, right, you grow up, you 751 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: went to school here, you went to school. There is 752 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: our town. Well, then when when Jimmy Ursey came to town, 753 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: it became to Coltstown, right, and our town was better 754 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: because of it. And to have not just them for 755 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: on the field, but to put that many quality people 756 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 1: into our town, starting with ownership all the way down, 757 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: just made Indie in a better place. It just did 758 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: period as Jimmy Maddog made us, unfortunately for us, but 759 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: very fortunate for him. Jimmy Maddog made us. Retiring from 760 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. So, not to put you on the spot, 761 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: but do you have a favorite Colts memory from over 762 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: the years. Yes, and it was weekly during the season. 763 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: It was doing a radio show with coach Ted Marcha Brota. Okay. Yeah. 764 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: To be able to sit there, to be a football fan, 765 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: and to be able to sit there and spend that 766 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: much time with a brilliant football mind is something that'll 767 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: always cherish. Here's the thing I mean not there's not 768 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: one personal live that has and I'm dead serious about this. 769 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: There's not one person that I know that you know, 770 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: that is alive today that has a negative thing to 771 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: say about Jimmy Maddog made Oh, well that that is 772 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: not true. Um No, listen, your personality, the way you've 773 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: carried yourself, the way you treat people, your persona. How 774 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: did you do that that is so incredibly rare? Um? 775 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: I guess it just started with mom and dad and 776 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: being genuine and being surrounded by a bunch of people 777 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: trying to be funny. You know. The deal is is 778 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: when you do comedy or radio, you do talk about 779 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: things that aren't necessarily always funny to a certain person. Right, 780 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: you might offend a person or two. And I always 781 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: hated that that being said, never cut funny. I think 782 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: most people understand that, you know, never cut funny. But 783 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: but so and you know, raising kids and stuff like that, 784 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: You've had discussions and stuff, and not everybody sees eye 785 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: to eye. But I think for the most part, it's 786 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: just always Look, you might not agree with me, but 787 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I'm right. It just means I 788 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: think different. And I think because I always thought that way, 789 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good with you doing what you want to 790 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: do and might be different to what I do, but 791 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: that's cool with me. Right I'm going to do your thing. 792 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: It's Jimmy mad Dog made us right there. We talked 793 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: about it. You are you have to be very intelligent 794 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: to be funny. You have to be smart to be funny, 795 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: and you are both of those things. The stand up 796 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: comedy part of your career.
