Right, So unfortunately we're doing 28 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: this show. I love doing this show.

But you know, obviously we would still 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: like to be playing I can't. It's always so bizarre 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 3: to be watching NFL football the first week of the 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: playoffs and not be doing anything right right, not be 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 3: doing game prep or not be physically at a stadium. 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: It's like, you know, I think we talked about this 36 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: earlier in the week case. It's like it's seven days 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: a week for five and a half six months, and 38 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: then it just comes to a screeching halt. Like I 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: don't want to be too dramatic about it, but the 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: last couple of nights when I haven't had to take 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: the job home with me, I've not known what to do. 42 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: So it's it's kind of a new frontier. 43 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 4: It's like, you know, you start going, Okay, what's a 44 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 4: good TV show to watch?

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that's what's staying busy. Yeah, 47 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: you're you're a busy guy. I understand that. 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 3: I mean hard time just sitting. 49 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: But there's a lot there's a lot of stuff in 50 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: your world. 51 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: I mean same in mind, but I don't I don't travel, 52 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 4: so you know, those Saturday things I can get done. 53 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 4: So for you, there's a lot of things that have 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: just been sitting around for four months. 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: You should see. 56 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: Oh my god, it is quite lengthening. 57 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: Oh I can imagine. 58 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, checking them off one at a time, like Johnny 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: cash Man one one percent of time around here. 60 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: Understand that completely. 61 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's gonna take about a month or so. 62 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: Check back in with me in March. 63 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: Right, And and you know, it's it's funny that we're 64 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: talking about it that way, because, yes, the season has 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: come to a close, and for both of us, whether 66 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 4: it's inside the job or outside the job, it's still busy. 67 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 4: You talk about the busy work at home, but it 68 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: was also a busy week inside, you know, the westfiitiest 69 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: because of all the things that happened when a season 70 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 4: comes to a close. We hear, we heard from Carl 71 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: Orse Gordon on Monday, the owner at the state of 72 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: the franchise. But then yesterday we heard from Chris Ballard 73 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: at his end of the year press conference. So I 74 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 4: kind of want to start with Chris. We'll get to 75 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 4: a little bit of Carly. Chris Ballard is answering similar 76 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 4: questions he has for the last handful of years. They 77 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: finish eight to nine. It's now the fifth straight year 78 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 4: without a playoff berth. So when you look at what 79 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: I guess maybe what you heard from Chris Ballard, what 80 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 4: were your main takeaways from Thursdays? 81 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know the things I jotted down. I think 82 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: Chris completely understands where everybody's at and the urgency that 83 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: ownership has for this upcoming season after missing the playoffs 84 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: now five years in a row. He mentioned several times 85 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: that the defense needs to be We'll see how it 86 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: all plays out, but he talked about maybe infusing it 87 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: with younger and faster players on that side of the ball, 88 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: and also too, I think the big one is the 89 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: Colts seem to have plenty of interest in re signing 90 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones after what he was able to do in 91 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 3: the first ten games of the season, and they feel 92 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: pretty confident about his ability to recover and rehab and 93 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: if in fact they do resign them be back available 94 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: with this team in time for training camp next summer. 95 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, and those are things that he even mentioned it. 96 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 4: You know, there are words right now. You got to 97 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 4: see what's gonna happen. But like last year, I expect 98 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 4: a little bit more of that aggressiveness during this offseason portion. 99 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: But one thing you kind of touched on that I 100 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 4: wanted to get to that we heard from Chris Ballard. 101 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: He talked about how your team in August is a 102 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 4: little different when December comes. So I want to play 103 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 4: that cut real quick from Chris Ballard talking about there. 104 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: That's Ballard one about what the team is in August 105 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 4: is never the same as it is in December. 106 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: The team you start out with in August is never 107 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 5: the same team in December or January. We've got to 108 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 5: do a better job from a personnel standpoint of making 109 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 5: sure we have you know, enough depth and solve problems 110 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 5: along the way. I mean, there's gonna be adversity in 111 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 5: every season. Things are going to happen, and you've got 112 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 5: to find to be deep enough and have enough talent 113 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 5: on the roster that you can still win games. We've 114 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: got to evaluate everything. You know, we were we were 115 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 5: two and seven in one score games. We got to 116 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 5: flip that trend, you know, our two There's things in 117 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 5: two minute that we have to look at because we 118 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 5: were giving up too many scores at the end of 119 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: has and that's something that's got to be corrected. So 120 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 5: those are all areas that we're going to delve into. 121 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: And you know, one other thing I did take from 122 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: what Chris Ballard was talking about was I think the 123 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: mutual interest that both the Colts and then you know, 124 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: we would assume the Daniel Jones camp on the return 125 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: because we did hear him talk about, you know, the 126 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: quarterback situation. That's always something that's always going to be 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: talked about whenever you can have your quarterback locked up, 128 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 4: and you know, it helps you know what your offense 129 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: is going to look like, how you approach certain things. 130 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 4: So that is one thing that I think we did 131 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 4: get a glimpse of, you know, from Chris Ballard talking 132 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: that there is a lot of interest in both sides 133 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 4: for the return of Daniel Jones in twenty twenty six, 134 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 4: and that is one of the things that I wanted 135 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 4: to highlight from what we heard earlier at the week 136 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 4: when Daniel Jones spoke about it, because he talked about 137 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 4: his wanting to return to the Colts in free agency. 138 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 6: I'd love to be back here. I've enjoyed being here, 139 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 6: working with coaching staff, here with the players. I think 140 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 6: it's a great organization and I've enjoyed being here. So 141 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 6: obviously there's a business side to it, and understand that, 142 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 6: but I've really enjoyed being here around these people. 143 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: Now there's Daniel Jones and all of that comes in 144 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: with the recovery from an achilles injury, and you know, 145 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 4: you also have to throw in the Phebelay injury that 146 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 4: he dealt with before that, so you know he's got 147 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: multiple injuries. 148 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: He's working back. 149 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 4: But I think it's going to be kind of a 150 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 4: I don't know what the right word is. It'll trigger 151 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: a couple other things. If that is the guy in 152 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 4: a good way, If that is the guy the Colts 153 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 4: you know, continue to target and bring back. Because we 154 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 4: heard even Alec Pierce talk about how much you know, 155 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 4: if Daniel Jones is back, that would help in his 156 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: to return here. Because we saw that relationship. Argy blossom 157 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: this year. I mean, he had a career year. So 158 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: when you think about the mutual interest from both sides, 159 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: how important is that when we look at this, I 160 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: mean we're only in January. We got a lot of 161 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 4: time left, but I think that's probably always the starting point. 162 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: You want to be able to have that mutual interest, 163 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: and it looks like from both sides that is there. 164 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Alec Pierce or excuse me, Daniel Jones might be 165 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: the domino piece for guys like Alec Pierce and maybe 166 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: some other free agents offensively that you might want to 167 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: lure over to come over to the Colts here in 168 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: the off season. So in terms of mutual interests, yeah, 169 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 3: absolutely there should be a ton. I don't know what 170 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: was more impressive. I mean, is on the field work 171 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: or is off the field work? And how he was 172 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: able to galvanize the locker room and lead very quickly 173 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: even though he was the new guy you know, signed 174 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: back in March. I mean, his early season efficiency and 175 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: his mobility really unlocked a ton of playmakers. It allowed 176 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: the running game to be really efficient with Jonathan Taylor 177 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: and then you know, like we talked about earlier, this week. 178 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: When that went away, the Colts running game really suffered. 179 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: But I mean what he did this year, career highs 180 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: and completion percentage at sixty eight percent, eight point one 181 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: yards per attempt, passer rating over one hundred for the season. 182 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: You just need stability right now the Colts have started. 183 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: The number is twelve. The Colts have started twelve different 184 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: quarterbacks since Andrew Luck retired in twenty nineteen. So, you know, 185 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: if he can come back and you can get you know, 186 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: ninety percent of Daniel Jones early on in the season 187 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: with him coming off in Achilles, you would certainly sign 188 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: up for that. But the big thing now for the 189 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: Colts to consider is you still have to be forward thinking. Right, 190 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: So what does the rest of the open market look 191 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: like at quarterback? 192 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 4: Right? 193 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 3: You just can't be so tunnel vision on Daniel Jones. 194 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: How much are you going to have to pay Daniel 195 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 3: Jones coming off an injury and when's he going to 196 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: be healthy again? 197 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 4: Right? 198 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 3: The Colts seem to be confident in his ability to 199 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: be back in time for camp, But those are the big, 200 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 3: you know, overarching thoughts the Colts are going to have 201 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: to wonder about in free agency. When it comes to 202 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, and. 203 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: It looks like everything from a coaching staff standpoint. We 204 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 4: heard from Chris there's been you know, nothing that has 205 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: been announced yet, but it sounds like the staff is 206 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 4: going to remain in tact. So therefore, when you look 207 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: at what Daniel Jones did earlier in the year when 208 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: he was healthy, I mean, this offense was humming and 209 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 4: if you can have all those pieces back, that is 210 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 4: one thing that you can look at this team, especially 211 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 4: with that sense of vergency we heard from Carlie Ursa 212 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: Gordon about how high it is heading into it. You 213 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: look at what this offense can do and if they 214 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: continue what we saw earlier in the year, that is 215 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 4: always a benefit at moving forward, and that was with 216 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones under center. It is time for our first 217 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 4: little break here. But this last word is brought to 218 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: you by Anthem. Colts have teamed up with Anthem, Blue 219 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: Cross and Blue Shield to recognize school teachers, administrators, nurses 220 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: and staff members who go above and beyond you know, 221 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: a classroom quarterback. Nominate yours at colts dot com slash 222 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 4: Classroom Quarterbacks. On the other side of this time out, 223 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 4: we're going to dive into the Colts d defense after 224 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five season and look at the team's 225 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: free agents and how it could impact the roster moving forward. 226 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: This is the Colts offseason home. Here the Last Word 227 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 4: on ninety three five and one o seven five The Fan. 228 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: We're giving you all you need to know on the Colts. 229 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: This is the Last Word with Matt Taylor and Casey 230 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Valier from the Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio Studio. 231 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 5: I will tell you this, like I think our defensive front, 232 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 5: we've got to add some fuel, okay to the front, 233 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: and we've got to get younger. We've got to get 234 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: faster unequivocally on defense. Offensively, we've got to be able 235 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 5: to run it when we want to run it. And 236 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 5: I will say that kind of when Daniel got hurt, 237 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 5: it took away some things we could do from a 238 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 5: mobility standpoint, which I think affected it. But that's something 239 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 5: we'll dig into. But just off you know our initial thinking. 240 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 5: You know, our defensive front, and we've got to get faster, 241 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: especially on defense. 242 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 4: We're back here on the Last Word ninety three to five, 243 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 4: one oh seventy five The Fan, case Valier and Matt 244 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: Taylor and there we just heard from Chris Ballard on 245 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 4: kind of some areas they are going to address here 246 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 4: in the offseason. I really want to stick defensively, And 247 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 4: before we kind of dive into that, I want to 248 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 4: start at the top with lou An Arumo. It has 249 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 4: been reported by you know, NFL Network and some other 250 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 4: reports that he is potentially going to be interviewing with 251 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: the Titans and Giants for their head coaching openings. So 252 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 4: this is something that lou and Aarumo has dealt with 253 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: essentially since all the success in Cincinnati. Nothing new to this, 254 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 4: but that's just the kind of guy that lou An 255 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 4: Arumo is. He's going to be a hot target. But 256 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: if he returns for the Colts defense, there are going 257 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 4: to be some things that we heard Chris Ballard talk 258 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: about there with getting younger and faster. Now, lou An 259 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: Arumo's defense, they call him the Matt Scientists. There's all 260 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: kinds of things that he wants to do. 261 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: So I don't think. 262 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: We were able to see everything that we were expecting 263 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: to see because of some certain circumstances in lou Aenarumo's defense. 264 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: So my question to you, Matt I'm sure I kind 265 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 4: of know the answer. But what do you make of 266 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: that first year with lou An Aroumo leading this defense? 267 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, because of everything that you just said, it was 268 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: really tough to kind of put it into words totality wise, 269 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: because of all the injuries. I mean, it was I mean, 270 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: if you're looking for a letter grade, I don't know 271 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 3: if you can accurately give one, because they really never 272 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: played with the full deck of guys that they wanted 273 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 3: to play with on that side of the ball, and 274 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: it really kind of changed who they were schematically. 275 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: So if you look at the. 276 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 3: Entire season, twentieth and scoring twenty thirty yards seventeenth and 277 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: yards per play. They had twenty one takeaways, which ranked 278 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: tenth right, So all those numbers, as you can interpret, 279 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: kind of middle of the road. But the passing defense 280 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 3: really fell off a cliff towards the end of the season. 281 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 3: We talked about that earlier this week. I mean, the 282 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: Colts gave up two hundred almost two hundred and fifty 283 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: passing yards per game that rank thirty first, And you know, 284 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: Chris has talked about it, Lewis talked about it down 285 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: the stretch of the regular season, when we would hear 286 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: from him. The pass rush has got to improve. You know, 287 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: the Colts have some key decisions to make along their 288 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: defensive front in terms of free agents Samson, Ebacom Quitty 289 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: pay Taekwon Lewis, and then you know, Chris said earlier 290 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: this week, you know, eight and a half sacks from 291 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 3: Laatu Latu in year number two. It's a respectable number, 292 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: but you know, just objectively, they didn't come impact high 293 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: leverage situations. Yeah, there's no question that the defense, I think, 294 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 3: is going to see some, you know, to whatever degree right, 295 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 3: substantial changes on that side of the ball. And I 296 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised to see multiple changes personnel wise along 297 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: the defensive line. 298 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 4: And one of the one of the areas we're going 299 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 4: to continue to monitor is the injuries. You talked about 300 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 4: DeForest Buckner, but also Sharvarius Ward and those you know, 301 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: the concussions that he dealt with, and he spoke about 302 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 4: kind of his mindset on football after suffering all those 303 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: concussions in just his first season in Indie. 304 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, so my daddy told me to retired with I 305 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 7: don't know, I don't think. I don't think I'm gonna 306 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 7: do it. I just got to see how I feel 307 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 7: it is all season. I know, going into next season, 308 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 7: if I do come back and play again, if I 309 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 7: get one more off the show, probably the time I 310 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 7: give a more concussion, but hopefully knock on wood. It 311 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 7: was crazy though, just dealing with all those headaches our season, 312 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 7: like it's a painful, frustraight thing. Hopefully, you know, I 313 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 7: don't have to go through that again, you know, with 314 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 7: the brain injuries, Like you don't really see it as 315 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 7: you get old, un till you get older. I'm still 316 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 7: a pretty young guy, and you know, the more I 317 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 7: beat my brain up, the more you to ef fake 318 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 7: me as I get older. So I mean I got 319 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 7: a lot of like to live out of football. I 320 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 7: got thinking about my family and kids too. So yeah, 321 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 7: we'll see. He got some decisions to make for sure. 322 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of decisions that Sharvarius Ward has to 323 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 4: make because you know, first and foremost, he's a human 324 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 4: and you want to make sure that you know he's 325 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: a he's a family man. You want to be able 326 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: to have that life after football, and that is one 327 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 4: thing he's got away heavily because ultimately that's a big 328 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: decision for what the Colts do on the field, but 329 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: you want to make sure that he is right mentally 330 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: and everything ready to go. So we'll be anxious to 331 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 4: kind of see what Tarvarius Ward and that decision comes 332 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 4: as you know, the weeks. 333 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: And months come. 334 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we should also mention to DeForest Buckner. Chris Ballard 335 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: said that he had a procedure done recently. But that's 336 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: a neck, yeah, and it's it's everybody's you know, wish 337 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: and desire, and I think it's Buckner's intent to come back. 338 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: But I mean, I think that the two most worrisome injuries, 339 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 3: not only at football but all of sports, are concussions 340 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: and or brain and neck. And that's what I think 341 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: two of the best defensive players the Colts have are 342 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: dealing with. And as it relates to our various Ward 343 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 3: you can't blame a guy for wanting to prioritize themselves. 344 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: But here's the deal, as it relates to the Colts. 345 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: You know, Ward is under contract for next season, and 346 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: he was I mean, the thought of it was he 347 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: was brought in here to be here for multiple years, 348 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: not just one year, and to help this secondary be 349 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: shut down in games specific for opposing quarterbacks, which the 350 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: Colts really weren't in a position to do very much 351 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: this season because of injuries and loss of keep up 352 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: personnel players I should say, within that secondary. So if 353 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: you lose Ward, it's just one more thing the Colts 354 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: have to address this offseason, along with really needing to 355 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: improve that pass rush. 356 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 4: No, absolutely, and those are I mean you talked about 357 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: it there. I mean it is you know, long term, 358 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: these are people, these are humans, and those are a 359 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 4: lot of you know, very important questions that Charv's Ward 360 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 4: is gonna have to deal with. 361 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: But then you also the conversations you know, one through nine, 362 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 3: Conversation ten is what does it mean for the team? 363 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: Right? 364 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 4: And that's where you got a weigh the balance because 365 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: you talked about the importance of what he is to 366 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 4: lou An Aurumo in this defense. He is vital. I 367 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: mean you think about it. He was the marquee free 368 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 4: agent move last year. Him and cam Bin him, We're 369 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 4: going to change the way this Colts defense looked. So 370 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: that is definitely something that it was a long term 371 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 4: view and not just a very short term view with 372 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 4: Sarvarius Ward. But we will continue to keep you updated 373 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 4: on everything if he, you know, makes an announcement or 374 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 4: however that works. But we're gonna take a quick break 375 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 4: here on the other side, we're gonna give you the 376 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: forum credit you in question of the week, which in 377 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 4: centered around all the playoff football this weekend.

With Taylor's tidbits, let's dive 481 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 4: into the nitty gritty. 482 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: I never knew that. 483 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: Grab a seat and take notes.

Here's some fun, worthless information that you can use. 487 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 3: You know, if you're gonna do the Tim Tebow at 488 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 3: the bar and press your friends. If that doesn't work, 489 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: maybe some of these tidbits will do the trick for you. 490 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: So the two marquee games I'm really excited to watch 491 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 3: over the weekend. We've got Colts or excuse me, Packers 492 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 3: and Bears coming up on Saturday. That's a prime game 493 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: which is inexplicable to me, where they're gonna barry that 494 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: thing on the internet essentially. And then we've got Jaguars 495 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 3: and Bills. I think that's a game on Sunday. So 496 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 3: Chicago and Green Bay they have played over one hundred 497 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 3: times in their history, but Saturday marks just the third 498 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 3: time ever they're gonna meet in the playoffs. They did 499 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: so in nineteen forty one and again in twenty ten. 500 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 3: Now here's the Jaguars and Bills. This is where I 501 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: think it's fascinating, all right. So the Jags and Bills 502 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 3: are two of twelve franchises to have never won a 503 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Okay, in fact, the Jaguars have never played in. 504 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: A Super Bowl. 505 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 3: Now, this is a home game for the Jags. That 506 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 3: could be a good omen for them.
