Speaker 1: You didn't miss me.

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: I did miss you, Matt, because you know, I'm a

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: very routine based guy. Not to this has been part

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: of you not to say that. Yeah, I didn't miss

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 3: you personally, but when my routine gets changed, i'm.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: All you know. Yeah, you're disoriented.

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all frazzled.

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Though you found you found ways too.

16
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I filled the time. I filled the time.

17
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so did the Colts.

18
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: Right, So a well rested team going into week number twelve.

19
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs are up next, and we'll talk

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: about then, Boyle boy.

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: They're reeling a little bit.

22
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: I read obviously they're five and five, but doing some

23
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: research and doing some digging Jack. They have not lost

24
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: three games in a row, which could be the case

25
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: on Sunday if the Colts given the business. They have

26
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: not lost three games in a row since twenty seventeen

27
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: that pre dates Patrick Mahomes.

28
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that's an impressive stat right there, and

29
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: shows the dominance they've had for this run with Patrick

30
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: leading them as a quarterback. But yeah, it'll be a

31
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: great challenges, great atmosphere and the culture up road. You know,

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: they've responded to challenges all year.

33
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: So let's go get it all right busy podcast.

34
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: Today, we're going to talk about the eight and two

35
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: colts off the buy, We'll talk about the Chiefs. We're

36
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: going to talk about what the potential is now for

37
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: a healthy secondary. You know, knock on wood, cross your fingers,

38
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do. There's a good chance that

39
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: Charvarius Ward could come off of injured reserve this week.

40
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: He's been missing in the secondary the last four games

41
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: due to a concussion. What is the potential of Charvarius

42
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Ward and Sauce Gardner and Kenny Moore all together healthy

43
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: in the same secondary, all at the same time. So

44
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that and also too the consistency of

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: this offensive line. Your guy Quentin Nelson is going to

46
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: join the podcast as well.

47
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: You fired up for that?

48
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm fired up for Big Q Man.

49
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Guess were teammates for four years.

50
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, one an honor was just to be his teammate,

51
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: and hopefully we get to learn a little bit about

52
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Q and and and peel back the helmet as you

53
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: like to say, Matt and uh and see what he's

54
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: got got in store for us.

55
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Well, let's get in the time machine. Let's go back.

56
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend a ton of time on Germany, right,

57
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: because that's kind of in the rearview mirror. But I

58
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: do want to get your thoughts on just the spectacle

59
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: of that game because you watched. I was there, so

60
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: I got the front row seed, if you will. But

61
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: you know, so many Colts fans and so many you know,

62
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: national followers of the NFL weren't there. And I think

63
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: it's more important from an international standpoint on how it

64
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: translates to TV.

65
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you think of.

66
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: How it looked, how it popped all the colors inside

67
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: the stadium, the flags before the game.

68
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: What did you think of how it translated to television? Yeah?

69
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: It was beautiful, Matt, It really was. I mean, you're

70
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: playing in a historic stadium and Olympic stadium. I mean

71
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: you think of the things that have gone on there

72
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: with Jesse Owens to you know, World Cups, and like

73
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: you could feel that, you know, coming through the TV

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: screen and you know, I keep thinking of a shot.

75
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: You know, they showed they zoomed in on Daniel he

76
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: kind of had a cut in his mouth or whatever,

77
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: and he had blood, you know, kind of coming out

78
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: and you just see darkness behind him. It looked like theater,

79
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: you know, you know, all the lights were on the

80
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 3: you know, the entertainment on the field, and so yeah,

81
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: it was it was really cool and even you know,

82
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: even better that the Colts got the win.

83
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you had the American chants, you had

84
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: the German chance, but then you also had the blending

85
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: of the two with all the cultures coming together to

86
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: saying Neil Diamond and John Denver and I think I

87
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: heard some Aerosmith, some bod Jovie.

88
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of what it was, what it

89
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: was like in Frankfurt.

90
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: But it's I sort of think, you know, Berlin is

91
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: a bigger stage, obviously a bigger stadium. It just everything

92
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: felt bigger. And I just think after that experience, now

93
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: we've done it twice in the last three years, three

94
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: different German cities, have hosted NFL games now with Frankfurt,

95
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Munich and Berlin. I think the German experience is here

96
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: to stay. I don't think it's going anywhere.

97
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, sports is the you know, it brings

98
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: so many different people together, and I think that's what

99
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: you got to see Matt and and football is the

100
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: ultimate team sport. You know, it brings people together and

101
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: cheering for a cause. And they just wanted to watch

102
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: good football. You know, that's their super Bowl over there.

103
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: You know that they're preparing all year for it. So yeah,

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: it was really cool to you know, just to watch

105
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: from from a from afar.

106
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: All right, So it was a about a ten hour

107
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: plane ride home. Okay, you've been on some some great

108
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 2: epic plane rides home. You've been on some terrible plane

109
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: rides back after tough losses.

110
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: What is the difference.

111
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: Between the Falcons playing ride home for ten hours and

112
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: the Colts playing right home for ten hours?

113
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: And I can't imagine what the Falcons were feeling. And

114
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: then then they had to come back and play the

115
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: next they went to overtime again, you know, so they

116
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: they would have to be reeling on that plane, and

117
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: you know, you're trying to shut your brain off and

118
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: get some sleep and so you can snap back into

119
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 3: your routine. And yeah, I had to be a tough

120
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: ride for them. But for the Colts. From the Colts perspective,

121
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're excited, you know, you're you know,

122
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: you win an overtime game. You know, Jonathan Taylor has

123
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: a great game, you know, all that fun stuff, and

124
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: you know you're you're hanging out with your buddies and

125
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: having fun, you know, made for an hour or two

126
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: and then it's like, all right, I'm going to bed,

127
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: leave me alone. Everyone, every headphones go in, Everyone be quiet.

128
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: We all need to go to sleep, you know, and

129
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: get ready for this bye week. But but yeah, that's

130
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: one of the things you miss as a player. You know,

131
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: you miss the moments like that, you know, I miss

132
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: you know, hanging out with the teammates after a win,

133
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: you know, being in the locker room after a win,

134
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: playing rides. All that fun stuff is what you miss.

135
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: So I hope the guys are really enjoying it.

136
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: You know that the game itself and the victory, I mean,

137
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: it felt like a playoff win just because of the

138
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: magnitude of the game. The atmosphere of the game, and

139
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: just also too, you know, from from an outsider's perspective,

140
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: just how many how much logistics go into the game, right,

141
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there's all these different things that make it

142
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: feel like a non regular season game even though it is,

143
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: but you're playing it across the world and all that

144
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: goes into that. Uh So after the game, on the

145
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: plane ride home, Zaire Franklin takes the mic. I don't

146
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: know where he got and maybe like sneaks into the

147
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: pilot's cabinet cabinet, I should say, and he's on the

148
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: mic and he's rapping, and he's you know, he's making

149
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: fun of guys and poking, poking fun at people and

150
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: getting everybody riled up on the plane ride. Who was

151
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: that guy for you when when you played who was

152
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: the biggest uh you know, victim if you will, uh

153
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: that would go after guys on the microphone of the plane?

154
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: Well, you know I played with Pat McAfee, all right,

155
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: So yeahs enough said enough times that Pat got on

156
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: the mic, that's for sure. You know, Zayre would do

157
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: it back then too. You know, Zayre was a great

158
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: leader from the beginning, and Eric Walden's one of the

159
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: funniest guys I've I've ever been around. Uh he would

160
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: get on the mic too, So you know again, Matt,

161
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: that those are the things you miss, you know, being

162
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: around your guys and with your teammates, and you work

163
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: so hard to just win a football game, and then

164
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: you you get to win it, and like you said,

165
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: you win a game like that where it feels like

166
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: more than just one. It feels like a playoff win

167
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: with the atmosphere and everything that kind of went into it.

168
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: So you know, it's just it's just so much fun

169
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: when you get to enjoy it with your guys.

170
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: You know what the dump button is on radio? Yeah,

171
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: the concept of the dump button. So you mentioned Eric Walden.

172
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: So you guys played the Tennessee Titans.

173
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

174
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing here twenty fifteen, sixteen seventeen. Somewhere in there,

175
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: you guys scratched out a late fourth quarter win at home.

176
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm doing sideline reporting. I go up to Eric Walden

177
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: like in the moment right, still huffing and puffing, like

178
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: chasing Murriot. I said, you know, how good is it

179
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: does it feel to get this win in the fourth quarter?

180
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: You know, gutting it out and he's like, oh, Mariona, man,

181
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: he's fast as.

182
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: Eric.

183
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, dump button. Please somewhere somebody listening,

184
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: hit the dump button.

185
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: He is one of a kind, heck of a football player. Man.

186
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: He was tossed as.

187
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: Hard nose man. I think he headbutted. It was probably

188
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: the same game he had budted Delaney Walker. Yeah, and

189
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: he wasn't I think Eric Walden wasn't wearing a helmet

190
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: or something like. I don't know, something crazy happened, but

191
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: he was a heck of a football player. And going

192
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: against him and practice got me a lot better, I know,

193
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: no doubt. And then he was on tennessee I think

194
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: it's seventeen and got to play against him a little bit. Yeah,

195
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 3: got to feel the wrath. But what a great teammate,

196
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: funny guy. Man.

197
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: He was authentic and played football, you know, the right way.

198
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: All right, Speaking of authentic, this offense is authentic. It's

199
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: still leading the NFL and scoring. The Colts are eight

200
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: and two. I mean, just look at the individual pieces here.

201
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Daniel Jones experiencing career resurgence, Jonathan Taylor's season

202
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: already off the charts, he's still with a week off,

203
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: still the only player in the NFL rushing wise over

204
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: a thousand yards already. I mean, Tyler Warren is on

205
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: pace to break the Colts rookie tight end record for

206
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: both catches and receiving yards, all of these things, Jack,

207
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: I want to know for you after ten weeks and

208
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: week off and the Colts playing, I would say, still

209
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: at Marquee game against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road,

210
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: and kind of what it stands for psychologically, what are

211
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: your favorite parts of this Colts team so far now

212
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: that we've kind of had a a time to sit

213
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: back and there's a break in the action going into

214
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: the home stretch with seven games left.

215
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt, you know it's obviously Jonathan Taylor is, you know,

216
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: a front runner for the MVP, but it's everybody that's contributing, right.

217
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you talked about how well Daniel Jones is playing,

218
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Tyler Warren. You know, obviously we talked about Jonathan. You

219
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: can throw in Peers, you can throw in Pittman. You know,

220
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: all these guys on offense and defense is coming up

221
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: with timely stops and you know when the team needs it,

222
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: they're playing complimentary football, and there's just so many things

223
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: to be impressed with, and it takes everybody, right. You

224
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: can't ride one person. Obviously, Jonathan Taylor is is our guy,

225
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: and you know the offense kind of all comes off

226
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: of him. But everyone's contributing, contributing, and everyone's playing a

227
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: part in the wins, and you know that that's a

228
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: sign of a good team. And that's what it's gonna

229
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: take going forward and.

230
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Off of the bye.

231
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: Again, it's a big game because I think it's you know,

232
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: even though the Chiefs are five and five and the

233
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: Colts are eight and two, because of where the game

234
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: is and they have Patrick Mahomes, they're never out of it,

235
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: Andy Reid, etc. The Chiefs are favored in this game

236
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: right over the Colts. So it's I think it's a

237
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: statement opportunity for the Colts to go in there and say,

238
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: you know, the chapter has turned a little bit.

239
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: This is a different book for both the Colts and

240
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs.

241
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: But we talked about this a couple of weeks ago

242
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: in terms of as a player, what you do and

243
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: how you feel going into the bye, how do you

244
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 2: feel coming off of the buy Jack, how tough is

245
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: it to get back into the swing of things after

246
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: you've had some major time off.

247
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a challenge, you know. You know, practicing on

248
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: a Monday, you know, it's kind of sloppy and you're

249
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: kind of getting your feet back underneath you. And then

250
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: by the time you hit about halfway through practice Wednesday,

251
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: you're like, all right, I'm back. Yeah, my routine's back

252
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: like the bye we never had it. Yeah, I feel

253
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: like I'm back in my routine of what you do

254
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 3: throughout a season. But yeah, that's why it's good to

255
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: have that practice on a Monday, coming off of bye

256
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: and kind of just shake the cobwebs out and get

257
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: back to playing football and get back in your normal

258
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: routine of the week. So yeah, you know, I think

259
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: the Colts will be ready to go. You know, again,

260
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: it takes great veteran leadership to get guys back going

261
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 3: and be like, hey, vacation's over, let's roll and and

262
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: having a great challenge ahead of you, and and going

263
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: into Kansas City and a big game should wake the

264
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: guys up, you know plenty. Yeah.

265
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if if guys come in a little bit sluggish,

266
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: is it who who is that guy?

267
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: Is it?

268
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: The quarterback or is it the leaders on the defense? Hey, guys,

269
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: get your head out of your you know what, like

270
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: it's time to go.

271
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. It's Zayere, It's it's Quintin,

272
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's Daniel. You know, it's it's these

273
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: guys that have shown their leaders of this team and

274
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: and big Grove, you know, we'll set the tone up

275
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: up front and and just getting guys back going. And again,

276
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: the Colts have not you know, there hasn't been a letdown.

277
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 3: These guys have you know, handled success and they're gonna

278
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: have to continue to do that as we go through

279
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: the end of this season. And so yeah, again I

280
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: keep crediting the veteran leadership and and what these guys

281
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: and and how they're leading in the locker room right now.

282
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned by Wednesday, you're pretty much individually back.

283
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: But when you have a week off and when this

284
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: offense is humming at the pace in which it has

285
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: been playing so far this season, I don't know, this

286
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: might be a weird question, but how long does it

287
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: take when you're not playing full go, full speed football,

288
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: when you have a two week gap between full gos

289
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: if you will. How long does it take to kind

290
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: of like find your rhythm and your footing from a

291
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: timing standpoint on offense, Yeah, it's all eleven guys.

292
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might take a minute early in the game, honestly,

293
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: and you kind of just want to get the first

294
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: few plays. I don't want to say out of the way,

295
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: but yeah, it kind of feels that way and be like, okay,

296
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: now I'm back. You know, get hit hard one time, Okay,

297
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 3: I'm back right, or you know, make a good block

298
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: and just get your feet underneath you. You know, it

299
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: is a challenge, but you know it's a challenge everyone

300
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: goes through and you need to buy for your body,

301
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: you know, for the long haul and all that fun stuff.

302
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: But again, the guys will lead lead the way and

303
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: get these guys practicing, you know, full go. I'm sure

304
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: Shame is doing some competition periods to kind of get

305
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: guys going as close to full go as you can.

306
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: Obviously we're not gonna be sure tackling each other in

307
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: the middle of the season, but you know, maybe they're

308
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: doing a two point play competition or you know, a

309
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: third down competition to get some you know, not live

310
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: but you know, live competition, you know, not going to

311
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: the ground or anything like that. But but get guys,

312
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: you know, back in the routine, back in the flow

313
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: of playing real football.

314
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: You know, I know this has nothing to do with

315
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: this discussion, but is that why so many teams? Is

316
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: that why there's so much discussion around the playoffs and

317
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: we don't want to buy?

318
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: You want to keep playing?

319
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

320
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: For that reason.

321
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you never know what you're gonna need

322
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: right as far as injuries go, but there is something

323
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 3: to just staying in your routine and just playing right.

324
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what we're here to do, play football.

325
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: So I always kind of liked, you know, it was

326
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: always not to say it was a challenge, but I

327
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: always kind of felt, you know, like we're kind of

328
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: talking about Matt, it was a bit of a challenge

329
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: coming off of buy and getting back in the flow.

330
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: You know, you kind of take a break, you know,

331
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: you lay on the couch a little bit. And that's

332
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: why it's important, you know, we talked about it earlier,

333
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: and doing as much you can on the b and resting,

334
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: but also not getting too far away from football and

335
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: staying in your routine as much as you can so,

336
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: so yeah, these guys will get back flowing. You know,

337
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: you get the bias position perfectly. We got it late

338
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: in the season, right where you want it. You know,

339
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: November is always the hardest month of the season, in

340
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: my opinion, So we get a nice little break, and

341
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: again it helps having a great challenge ahead of you, like,

342
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: these guys are gonna get flowing, knowing, hey, we're going

343
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 3: down to Kansas City, you know, got to take down

344
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: the champs right at their place. We want to say

345
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: we're a top team in AFC. There's no better way

346
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: to prove it than going down there and getting a win.

347
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Why is November the toughest.

348
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: It's just that third quarter, you know, you don't really

349
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: it's hard to look ahead to the playoffs or see

350
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: where you're kind of positioned, and you're in the you know,

351
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: monotonous parts of the season and just doing the same

352
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: thing over and over, and you know, once you kind

353
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: of I feel like once you hit Thanksgiving and you

354
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: hit the holidays, it's like it goes really fast and

355
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: you're just stuck in your routine again and back flowing.

356
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: But that November you're like, oh man, we still got

357
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: to go all the way to January. You know, I

358
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: don't know if my neck's gonna make it out of

359
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: my right my traps are killing, you know, I got

360
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: a little whatever going on, my knees hurting or you know,

361
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: there's little things like that or like I don't know

362
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: how I'm gonna do it, And you try to, you

363
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: try to just take it one day at a time.

364
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: But once you hit that December, hey, we're working towards something.

365
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: We know what's coming, you know, we we we gotta

366
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: go finish this the right way.

367
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: The guys in the college game, I'm not saying they're

368
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: not tough, because they are. They're playing big boy Division

369
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: I college football, you know, but I hear them say

370
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: all the time, we've played six straight games, Like six

371
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: straight games, yeah, easy, like a couple a couple of

372
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: years ago, like the last two or the last three years.

373
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: The Colts haven't had their bye until like mid December. Yeah,

374
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: like twelve straight games.

375
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I think that's another part of it, is

376
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: like especially for young two buys, especially for young guys,

377
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: they kind of see the college season kind of ends

378
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,479
Speaker 3: for a lot of teams around Thanksgiving, right, and you're like, huh,

379
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: my body Clock says like, I'm supposed to be done

380
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: with foot ball, and that's where they talk about the

381
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: rookie wall and things like that. But you do kind

382
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: of feel that. But once you get far enough to

383
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: remove from you know, college, and you know you're you're

384
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: into the NFL routine, you don't really feel that anymore.

385
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: But as a young player, I did kind of feel that, like, man,

386
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: my guys are kind of done. But now with college

387
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: football playoff and you know, if you're you're part of

388
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: one of those teams, yeah, you're playing. You're playing a

389
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: pretty similar schedule to what we're doing in the NFL.

390
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

391
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 3: All.

392
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Right, let's let's stop and appreciate again. Quentin Nelson's coming up.

393
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna appreciate him big time on this podcast, but

394
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: we have to stop. I think, just you know, from

395
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: from a play by play standpoint, like the preparedness of

396
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: getting ready for a game after a game like Jonathan

397
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: Taylor had in Berlin, like that's hard. It took a

398
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: long time to like sort and organize and put all

399
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: the things that Jonathan Taylor did last week in perspective. First,

400
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: he had a huge game two hundred and forty four yards.

401
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: He broke the all time franchise record for rushing touchdowns,

402
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: surpassing the total of Edgern James. You know, the scrimmage yards,

403
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: the catches out of the backfield, the touchdowns. Like, when

404
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: he has a game like that, it's just like a windfall,

405
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: a ticker tape. It's like all these things you have

406
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: to update and so like when he has a game

407
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: like that, from my perspective, like we have to just

408
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: step back and appreciate what we are watching. Again, seven

409
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 2: thousand yards for his career. He is the first player

410
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: to have over eleven hundred rushing yards in the first

411
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: ten games of a season since DeMarco Murray in twenty fourteen.

412
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: All Right leads the NFL and rushing yards per game,

413
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: yards per carry, touchdowns, scrimmage touchdowns leads the league, and

414
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: yards after contact, which is why he's so dominant. Jack,

415
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: for you, what are the biggest factors as we step

416
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: back and appreciate and look at this from the blimp

417
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: here for Jonathan Taylor, what are the biggest factors to

418
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: his enormous season so far that's only going to grow.

419
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you're putting that the right way. And I

420
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: appreciate you saying that because we do need a step

421
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: back and appreciate what this guy is doing. I mean,

422
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: it is unbelievable. We could do a whole show about

423
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: the stats and the records he's breaking. It's just it's

424
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: just amazing to see. But you know what I think

425
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: about what we're seeing from Jonathan right now is he

426
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: looks healthy. Right. I think that's the first the first thing, right,

427
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: you know, he's not He doesn't seem to be dealing

428
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: with with much right now, and he's moving great. And

429
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 3: then the first thing Jonathan would say about his success

430
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: is the way guys are blocking, right, And it's the

431
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: whole team, you know, it goes to the old linement first, right,

432
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: that they're setting the tone up front and and and

433
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: then you got to shout out. I gotta shout out

434
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: my tight ends. They're doing a great job. And then

435
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 3: the receivers. That's what's different about this Colt Steam. The

436
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: way these receivers block downfield is different. It is. I've

437
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: seen it for all the years I played, and I'm

438
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: always watching it on TV. Our receivers block different. They

439
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 3: block through the whistle, they do the extra you know,

440
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 3: the extra efforts to because they know Jonathan can go

441
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: on these long runs. So the first thing out of

442
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: Jonathan's mouth will be, hey, I got a credit my

443
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: teammates in the way they're blocking. But man, I'm just

444
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: at a loss of words with how this guy plays football. Man.

445
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: And he's a great teammate, a great person. Couldn't happen

446
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: to a better guy. And it's just unbelievable what he's

447
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 3: doing right now and the records he's breaking and helping

448
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: him and the most important thing helping the Colts win

449
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: football games.

450
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: Well, you saw it on the eighty three yard touchdown.

451
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: He was bottled up.

452
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was hilarious if you're a Colts fan.

453
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: It's funny.

454
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: If you're a Falcons fan, no, right, But I mean

455
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: he's dead to rights and you know that the Falcons

456
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: they have gap control there where they're supposed to be.

457
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: But like you said, the willingness and the trust that

458
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor has to break it out and know that

459
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: he's got that, He's afforded that opportunity right because of

460
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: the willingness on the outside to block through the whistle

461
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: from Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce, especially on that play.

462
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: But then historically what we see from Michael Pittman Jr.

463
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: Like that, to me is a huge part of it

464
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: when it comes to Jonathan Tayler's vision and knowing that

465
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to go here on this play because

466
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: it's not where it's designed to go, but I know

467
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: I can because of my teammates.

468
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's trust, right, it's trusting your teammates. I mean,

469
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: you're speaking of the eighty three yard run and Pierce

470
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 3: is on the back side of not even the side

471
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: he bounced to, and to watch Peerce just hawk the

472
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: corner that's kind of got an angle on Jonathan and

473
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: get in front of him and make the block for

474
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: him to go the whole way. It's just you just

475
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: don't see that from everybody, man. And these guys play

476
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: unselfish football and they play for their teammate man. And

477
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: then Jonathan again has the trust in his guys to

478
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: hold his block and it's just special. I mean, yeah,

479
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: who can do that?

480
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 4: Man?

481
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: He just flying? And you know what, Matt, one of

482
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 3: my favorite thing is I go back and watch it,

483
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: and I've always loved doing this is watching the sideline

484
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: and their reaction when when he starts to bust it

485
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: out there.

486
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Everybody knew that was going to be the record breaker too.

487
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 3: In that fun man, and there there's runs in that

488
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: game as I go back and watch it, where he

489
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: like he busts through the first line or whatever. You know,

490
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 3: he gets through the you know, the level blocks of

491
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: the d and then like he's up on the linebackers

492
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: and the sideline like goes crazy and it's only like

493
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: a six yard run, but they think he's gonna go

494
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: every it's like every single surprise when he does. Yeah,

495
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: every single time he kind of breaks through that first

496
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: little you know, he gets five or six, You're like, oh,

497
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 3: here it is. He's going for sixty, he's going for whatever.

498
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: So it's fun. Everyone's invested in it, you know again

499
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: watching the sideline and and you know everyone feels a

500
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 3: part of it, right and and that's why you see

501
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: the extra effort from the guy's blocking.

502
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Taylor's eighty three yard run that he broke the

503
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: franchise record for rushing touchdowns on was also the longest

504
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: touchdown in Colts franchise history.

505
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Everything from a play by play.

506
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: Standpoint, everything that he does is significant because of the

507
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: milestones and the records and the things that he is

508
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: doing and the people that he is passing on the way.

509
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a who's who on all of

510
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: these lists. I mean, Taylor's already produced three games this

511
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: season with at least one hundred and fifty rushing yards.

512
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: He scored three touchdowns in five games already this season.

513
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: He needs only one more such game games, I should say,

514
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: with three touchdowns from scrimmage touchdowns to tie Ladanian Tomlinson

515
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: for the all time record for three touchdown games in

516
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 2: a single season. I mean, it's just absurd what he's

517
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: accomplishing so far. But with that, Jack, I mean, you

518
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: know ball better than anybody in this room. How do

519
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: you expect teams?

520
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Now?

521
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: There's seven games to go, it's going to be division

522
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: heavy now for the Colts, four division games left, two

523
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: meetings with Jacksonville and Houston. How do you expect most

524
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: teams to play the Colts? They always talk about we

525
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: want to make him play left handed. Well, they've got

526
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones in the passing game, with all the weapons

527
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 2: that they have through the air. They have Jonathan Taylor

528
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 2: on the ground as well. How do you think most

529
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: teams are going to play, specifically the Colts in the

530
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: ground game.

531
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's easy to say, yeah, teams are

532
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: going to sell out to stop the run. But you know,

533
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of why Shane's formula has been

534
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: the way it is. And it's it's kind of been

535
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: a lot of play action, throw early, right, and to

536
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 3: soften up the defense, and then it's run it in

537
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: the second half to kind of finish it. You know

538
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: what's Shane saying, you know, throw to score, run, run

539
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: to win, the right run to win. So it's that's

540
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: the formula it's been. So when teams try to come

541
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: sell out and and and stop the run, hey, here

542
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 3: we go a little play action. Dump it to Tyler

543
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 3: Warren in the flat, give me twelve, right, you know,

544
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: so pick your poison with the way this team's playing

545
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 3: right now. You know, if if you're a defensive coordinator

546
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: trying to game plan, I really don't know what the

547
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: approach is, right and yeah, and you know, it's just

548
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: it's just a great problem to have, you know, for

549
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 3: the for the Colts, and and and again it speaks

550
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 3: to the unselfishness, you know. Jonathan Taylor doesn't care if

551
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: he gets ten carries for sixty yards. If you know,

552
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 3: Daniel goes out there and throws it for four hundred

553
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: yards and Pitt has two touchdown Pierce and Warren and downs.

554
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: You know, there's just so many guys, so many weapons

555
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: on this offense that it's a it's a it's a

556
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: really big challenge for for for defenses coming and trying stop.

557
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, hey, let's go try and sell out and

558
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: stop the run. Okay, put a linebacker on Tyler Warren.

559
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 3: Good luck? You know what I mean? Like that that,

560
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: I think that's where it's at.

561
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: And I've said this so many times and I apologize,

562
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: but just to cap off the conversation, I think that's

563
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: the biggest difference. I think the passing game with Daniel

564
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: Jones is making Jonathan Taylor more efficient in the running

565
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: game this year.

566
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. I mean that's complimentary football, right, I mean,

567
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 3: that's what good teams do. And and you know, you know,

568
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are comparing, you know,

569
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: the twenty one season to what Jonathan was doing to

570
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: to now, and it's like we didn't have much of

571
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: a passing game. I was a part of that end

572
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: not towards the end. It was it was run, run heavy,

573
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe we got caught up and running

574
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: it too much and relying too much on Jonathan and

575
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: and that can kind of you know, may that get

576
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: you four or five games, but you know, eventually, you

577
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: know it runs out. So so yeah, that's what it's just,

578
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, the Colts are attacking you in so many

579
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: different ways. Yeah, Jonathan's you know, even when he had

580
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: what do you have, like thirty two carries in the

581
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 3: game he did. It doesn't feel like we're just turning around,

582
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: handed it off, turn around, handed it off right. It

583
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 3: feels in the flow of the offense right, and it

584
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: doesn't feel forced. So that's tough to defend.

585
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: You had no question about it. Yeah, the Colts had

586
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty three yards rushing. I know, the

587
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: game winning overtime, so the numbers are going to be inflated,

588
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: but still three hundred and twenty three yards rushing. That

589
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: is the second most rushing, highest rushing total in Colts

590
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: franchise history, and five hundred and nineteen yards of offense

591
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: in Berlin. Just put on a show in Germany, got here,

592
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: got the victory in overtime. Let's switch over to the

593
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: other side of the ball before we welcome in Quentin Nelson,

594
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: because I do want to talk about this secondary. We

595
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: teased it at the top, but you're going to be

596
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: playing with a full deck of cards here, knock on Wood.

597
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: Don't know for certain yet on Tcharvarius Ward, but there's

598
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: a decent chance he comes off of injured reserve with

599
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: that concussion. So you pair him with Sauce Gardner, who

600
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: hopefully by game time, what's the mat going to be

601
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: on that like two and a half weeks of more

602
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: and more, Yeah, just being around this team and being

603
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: more comfortable with the playbook and knowing the scheme. Then

604
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: you have one of the greatest at his position going

605
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: still and Kenny Moore at the nickel spot. You got

606
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Jones, who's one of the best quote unquote non

607
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: starting cornerbacks in the NFL. He's back to full health

608
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 2: after dealing with a hamstring injury for most of the season.

609
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: And then you've got Sharvarius War knowing Patrick Mahomes really well,

610
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: and the scheme. I'm sure it's changed and evolved and adapted,

611
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: but still he knows Patrick Mahomes from a DNA standpoint,

612
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: pretty well. They were teammates from twenty eighteen to twenty

613
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: twenty one, won a Super Bowl together in Kansas City. So, Jack,

614
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 2: what is your excitement and the potential for this starting

615
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: secondary as we kind of hit the home stretch here

616
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: with seven games to go for the Colts.

617
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, good time. Mean to have them all, you know

618
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 3: back right, you're going to against Patrick Mahomes and you know,

619
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 3: everyone knows what he's been the past X number of

620
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 3: years or whatever. But but yeah, it you know when

621
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: you're going against a guy like that, and you can't

622
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 3: just you know obviously, and coach Lou knows them well too,

623
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: and it's had great matchups against the Chiefs when he

624
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: was with the Bengals. But you've got to be multiple

625
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: and and and that's what I kind of saw in

626
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: in the overtime against the Falcons. The Colts went more

627
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: multiple and kind of confused them and Zayiere made those

628
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 3: great plays to kind of get us the ball back.

629
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 3: But having that secondary back and be able to do

630
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: different things right when you when you're facing a great quarterback,

631
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: you can't show the same thing over and over or

632
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 3: they will pick you up part right, and you have

633
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: great corners that that you trust, right, and having Sauce

634
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: up to speed with with with all the different multiple

635
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 3: things we're going to try and show and and showing

636
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: man and then and then going to zone or showing

637
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: zone going to man and and trying to just create

638
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: that tick, right, and then that's helping the pass rush

639
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 3: get there. Right. So you know, having your your the

640
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: strength of your secondary back it is gonna help everyone

641
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 3: around them, right. It's gonna up the pass rush, it's

642
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: gonna help the linebackers in coverage and not having asking

643
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: them to do too much, and and so yeah, it's

644
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: gonna be huge. And like I said, great timing to

645
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 3: come back for for the great challenge of going uh

646
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: going to Kansas City.

647
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: You know, I bring this up just from a discussion standpoint,

648
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: how evident and clear obvious has it been from an

649
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: operational standpoint for the Colts that they have to be

650
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: able to win on defense in the secondary based on

651
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: the moves that they have made starting back in free

652
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: agency in the spring. You know, you bring in ward,

653
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Jones is coming back. You know, we thought Juju

654
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: Brins is gonna be a big part of this, this

655
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: defensive secondary that didn't work. But it's not like the

656
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: Colts like sat on their hands. They bring in cambine

657
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: them and then when things get tough, here is Xavier

658
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: and Howard. He's a big name that doesn't work, he retires. Again,

659
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: the Colts don't sit on their hands at all.

660
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: They go big. They throw, uh, you.

661
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: Know, a ton of resources that bringing in Sauce Gardner Like,

662
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: it's it's very clear to me, Jack, and I know

663
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: this is a very obvious statement that the Colts know.

664
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: In order for this defense to work, it has to

665
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: work and it has to be driven by the secondary.

666
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's coach leus scheme, right, It's got to

667
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: be driven by the secondary. He puts those guys in

668
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: a lot of tough positions and challenges them to make

669
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: stops and cover guys for a long time and man

670
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: coverage and and different things like that. So so I

671
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: think they've made it very clear, like you're saying, Matt,

672
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: that this is a huge part of our team. This

673
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: is a huge part of you know, what we see

674
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: is can help us be successful. And again, the complimentary

675
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: football of your secondary playing well is gonna help the

676
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: pass rush. I think that's huge and just creating, like

677
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: we've talked about, just creating that tick of doubt from

678
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: the quarterback so that the pass rush can get home

679
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 3: and get sacks and quarterback hits and things like that.

680
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be big.

681
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a great challenge, you know, to have

682
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: those It's gonna be a great challenge for those guys,

683
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: you know, going in against Patrick Mahomes.

684
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: So what's it gonna look like though? I mean in

685
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 2: the secondary with with Ward and Gardner, is it going

686
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: to be a lot more manned a man, more man

687
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 2: to a man than we're used to seeing press at

688
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage?

689
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: Uh?

690
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: Is it Wards on the other team's best player? What

691
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna look like?

692
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think each week will be different. And knowing

693
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: who you're going against, you know, when you're playing a

694
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: veteran quarterback, I think you do need to go Manda

695
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: man because you know a little bit more because when

696
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: you go zone, they figure it out and they find

697
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: the holes and they kind of pick you apart. So

698
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: when you have great corners who can play Manda man

699
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: and go up and challenge those receivers and again that

700
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 3: that's gonna knock off the timing and and help the

701
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: past rush get home and put pressure on him. But

702
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: then you got to worry about you know, when you're

703
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: playing Mando man Patrick mahomes es capability. So there's there's

704
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: there's so many challenges that go into to playing a

705
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: great offense. And the Chiefs been But like I said,

706
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: coach Lou has a formula. You know, I think he's

707
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: had a lot of success against the Chiefs, So it'll

708
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: be a it'll be a great challenge and I'm excited

709
00:30:59,320 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: to watch, no.

710
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. The consistency could be there.

711
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: The consistency that is there for the Colts is up

712
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: front along their offensive line. The Colts have used only

713
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: two different starting offensive line combinations all year. Again, knock

714
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: on wood, I'm gonna hold the football here.

715
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the magic football.

716
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

717
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: They have stayed healthy. They need to continue to stay healthy.

718
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: And the guy that is the iron man up front,

719
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: he never misses time, never misses snaps. It is Quintin Nelson,

720
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: perennial Pro Bowl Player, perennial All Pro player. I'm gonna

721
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: get out of this chair. We're gonna welcome in Quentin

00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: gonna go one on one with the Colts starting left guard.

724
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: All right, We're back with the Jack Doyle Podcast, and

Speaker 3: gonna jump into it. Man, We're gonna try and keep

729
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: this more of a you know, two former teammates kind

730
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: of chatting about football and chatting about you, which I

731
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: know you don't always enjoy, but we'll kind of bring

732
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: it around and talk about your teammates here at the end.

733
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: But you know, with the Indiana's kind of at Semi

734
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: State's coming up this weekend for high school football, and

735
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: I always you know, my son's playing third grade football

736
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 3: and it kind of makes me reminisce about my youth

737
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: experience of starting out in football. I kind of will

738
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: just hear you know, what what your experience was like

739
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: as a as a youth playing football in high school?

740
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: I mean, have you always been just like Quinton Nelson,

741
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: the maller and just like roadgating people.

742
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 5: Uh No, but uh, you know, youth football was great. Uh,

743
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 5: we won a lot of games. My dad was the

744
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 5: head coach.

745
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

746
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 5: And uh he did a lot of preparation, got us

747
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 5: ready to play and taught some good fundamentals.

748
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: So that was fun.

749
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 5: But I would say that happened in high school when

750
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 5: I just got bigger than everyone.

751
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: I was like that sikes fun.

752
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 5: Almost three hundred pounds my junior year and I was

753
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 5: just crushing people that were way smaller than me and

754
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 5: didn't have a chance.

755
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: Shouldn't have been out there.

756
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: So what did you play in high school? Did you

757
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: play guard? Where you at tackle?

758
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 4: Left tackle, left tackle, de tackle?

759
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: Did you guys pass it all? Were you more like

760
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: all run, all run? Yeah?

761
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 4: Like it was awesome.

762
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: You know you love the Well, there's nothing, there's nothing

763
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: best that nothing, as you know, Quinn, I'm sure you

764
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 3: had a great high school experience as you mentioned, but

765
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: like there's nothing better than high school football. Like it's

766
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: just the purest form of football. You're playing with your

767
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: boys on Friday night, and I just loved it and

768
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: missed those days, you know, maybe more than I miss

769
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: playing for the Colts. Right. But after that you went

770
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: on Anore Dame and you know, I got to ask

771
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: you about Notre Dame. I always bugged you about Notre

772
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: Dame when we were playing. You know, I'm secretly a

773
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: huge Notre Dame fan, grew up, you know, wanting to

774
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: go there, and I always be like, oh, you know, Quinton,

775
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 3: why did you go to another Dame? You know, always

776
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: asking you a questions. You'd be like, Jack, leave me alone.

777
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: So why Notre Dame? You know? Was it was it

778
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: kind of like a clear cut choice or did you

779
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: have some options?

780
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: Uh?

781
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

782
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 5: So they were actually my last offer. And I visited

783
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 5: there and loved coach heat Stand, Harry heat Stand.

784
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: Uh, the way he ran a meeting and then.

785
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 5: His attention to detail on the field coaching, the group

786
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: of guys that they had there, and the group of

787
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: guys there, you know, Zach Martin was there, Chris Watt,

788
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 5: our assistant online coach, was there, and seeing them all

789
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 5: interact with each other, it really seemed like a tight

790
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 5: knit group brotherhood and something I wanted to be a

791
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 5: part of. Then the campus is great, academics are outstanding,

792
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 5: so it was an easy choice for me.

793
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you say Notre Dame. Do you say it?

794
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: I say Notre Dame.

795
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 3: You don't say the Notre Dame. No, No, I think

796
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 3: that's kind of weird. I don't know people say it

797
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 3: that way. Yeah, Notre Dame. That's all I say. Too.

798
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: Well cool, you know, I was growing up, like I said,

799
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 3: I wanted to go to Notre Dame. So I always

800
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 3: tried to like bug you about what was cool about

801
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: Notre Dame and all that fun stuff. But we'll talk

802
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: a little bit more about you, Quinn. So you know,

803
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: as a rookie, obviously I got to play with you

804
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: for four seasons I believe, and it was a great

805
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 3: honor to play with you. But even from the beginning

806
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: you had you had an unbelievable knack for being a leader.

807
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: So I kind of just want to talk about your

808
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 3: leadership and in the confidence you had as a rookie

809
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: even just stepping up. And you know, you don't say

810
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: a lot, but when something needs to be said, you

811
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 3: say it. How has your leadership kind of evolved? You know,

812
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: you know throughout your career with the Colts.

813
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 5: Well, I would say as a rookie, you just come in,

814
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 5: you shut up. Yeah, like Tyler's dumb this year. Yeah,

815
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: head down and you work. Yeah, and you try to

816
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 5: earn the respect of your teammates who are already established here.

817
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 5: So you know, I had Andrew, I had Costanzo, Matt Swawson,

818
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 5: you t y a bunch of guys on the offensive

819
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 5: side of the ball that it's.

820
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: Just like, I'm going to listen to these guys.

821
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 5: These guys are the established leaders of the team, and

822
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 5: I'm just going to try to do my part to

823
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 5: be my best week after week and help have the

824
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 5: team have success. So more lead by example guy earlier

825
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 5: on in my career, and then as I progressed and

826
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 5: like earn my stripes. Uh, that's when you know, you

827
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 5: get a little bit more vocal and holding guys accountable

828
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 5: and holding yourself accountable first and still leading by example

829
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: every day and just trying to be the best version

830
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 5: of yourself, be a guy that you know guys want

831
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 5: to emulate.

832
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's what what you do when you're a rookie.

833
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 5: You try to emulate other guys who have been doing

834
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 5: it for a long time at a high level.

835
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now now you're the guy everyone's trying to emulate, right,

836
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 3: Quinn and, uh, yeah, I've always been impressed with your

837
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: leadership skills and in speaking of your holding guys accountable, right,

838
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 3: you know that's not easy for for for guys to do,

839
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 3: and sometimes it's hard to be the guy to say something,

840
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: but you always went about it in the right way.

841
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: When we play together, I know you're doing it the

842
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 3: same way now and first holding, like you said, holding

843
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: yourself accountable, right, but then hey, if you're not, you know,

844
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 3: holding up your into the bargain, we got to say

845
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: something about it, right and make sure we're all on

846
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 3: the same page. And you speaking of Tyler, So we

847
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: had Tyler on the podcast a couple of weeks ago,

848
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 3: and he's great man and all the great things he's

849
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: done early on to get going. But we joked about

850
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: this when when talking about him, is your big help

851
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: help up the guy? Right? You always when someone gets tackled,

852
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 3: who's the first one there? Quintin And I secretly, when

853
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 3: I was playing, you know, I felt like I was

854
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: doing a pretty good job of it, and then you

855
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: came in at a great job. Well you came in

856
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: as a rookie and I'm like, holy crap, how Quentin

857
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: beat me? There right, And I was secretly I don't

858
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: think we ever really talked about it, but I always

859
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 3: trying to beat you there, and especially if it was

860
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 3: t Y, I was like, no, I got to get

861
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: to like Quintin's not beat me to t Why But

862
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: where did that come kind of come from? Did you

863
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: do that in high school, college or just something like

864
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: it was, you know, running to the ball.

865
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 5: It came in college with coach he Stan As I

866
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 5: mentioned before, he always had the offensive line take great

867
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 5: pride and taking care of your teammates and helping them

868
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 5: up and letting them know you got their back right

869
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: next play.

870
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: And also if the ball gets loose, you can go

871
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 4: out and dive on it, which.

872
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 5: Against Atlanta on the screen, he was able to jump

873
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 5: on the ball, Which is why you run to the

874
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 5: ball and chase the ball because the play is never

875
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 5: over even though you've blocked your guy. Yea, So it's

876
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 5: being a great teammate. And then SA also, hey, the

877
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: play is not over. If that ball pops out, you

878
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 5: can you know, dive on the ball and keep the possession.

879
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 5: And that's huge and uh this game we play.

880
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that's a great example of it. Like you said,

881
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 3: BORLINI in the in the game in Berlin early in

882
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: the game, chasing the ball right, going, going there, and

883
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 3: never know, especially when you're blocking for a guy like

884
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, you never know when you could even make

885
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: another block to to to spring him. But but yeah,

886
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: I remember watching that. I even paused it and showed

887
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: my you know, I said, mentioned my son who's playing

888
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 3: third grade football. I'm like, this is what you do

889
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: after you make a block, you chase the ball, right,

890
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: because this is what can happen. So I'm glad you

891
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 3: brought that up because it's a great example of why

892
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 3: why you do that.

893
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 5: And I think it helped me as a rookie too

894
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 5: in my second year, just like guys are like, damn,

895
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 5: Q cares about me, Yeah, and like it really helped

896
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 5: me earn like T wise respect and like he was like, dang,

897
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: I mess with Q because you know, he's running to

898
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 5: the ball, he's helping me up. And like, I don't

899
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: think he had an offensive lineman do that for him, No, the.

900
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: Way I was doing it back then.

901
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: As you grow older, you get some injury, becomes a

902
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 5: little harder to run the ball.

903
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 4: Still still try.

904
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: To do it though, Yeah, what was Castanzo doing, Like,

905
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: come on.

906
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 5: He was just focused on blocking as you don't him up, bro,

907
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 5: He did not talk at all or anything game.

908
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: Oh it's best, Well, it's best is Ac never said

909
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: anything on the field. Ac does does not get enough

910
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: credit for how good of.

911
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 5: A player he was, and he won't give himself a

912
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: no and he never will how good he was.

913
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 3: But he never talks. Right. I'm you know, I'd be

914
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: I'd get to play next to him sometimes, right and

915
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: being on that side of the ball and be like, yeah, Ac,

916
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: what do we got here? But he definitely started talking

917
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: more when you showed up, Q. You brought it. You

918
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: opened up a side of him that was never there before.

919
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: But speaking of old Lineman, the group you guys have

920
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 3: right now seems really close and obviously the closeness, you know,

921
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: it's a direct correlation to to how you guys are

922
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: performing on the field. Talk about this group and and

923
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: coach Soprano and and how you guys have kind of

924
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 3: all connected.

925
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it starts with Tony when he first

926
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,840

934
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 5: tone every single day he comes to work and he

935
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 5: grinds so hard for this team. And again, just another

936
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 5: guy who leads by example, a guy you want to

937
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 5: play for, coach you want to play for.

938
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 4: That's huge having.

939
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 5: So his leadership has been tremendous for our group. He's

940
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 5: done a great job the last two and a half

941
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 5: years and we all appreciate him a lot. So but

942
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 5: then it's you know, messing with guys, like giving rookies

943
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 5: a hard time and like piling up on them, but

944
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 5: then also having their back on the field. It's like, hey,

945
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 5: you don't mess with my rookie or stuff like that,

946
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 5: and guys.

947
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 4: You know, learn to love the group and appreciate being

948
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 4: a part of it.

949
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 5: So the O line dinners we have and to get

950
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 5: together as bondfires, it all goes a long way into

951
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 5: us being close and it's showing out on the football field,

952
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 5: which is its special to have because that's a hard

953
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 5: thing to have.

954
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: In the NFL.

955
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: It's easier in high school when you're playing with your boys,

956
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: but you really need to spend time together. It's so

957
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 5: important because it draws you guys closer and allows you

958
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 5: guys to have these bonds that like, hey, I'm not

959
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 5: just playing for myself or my why anymore. Like my

960
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 5: teammates have become my why, and I don't want to

961
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 5: let that. I don't want to let them down because

962
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 5: that's my boy I'm playing right next to and like

963
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 5: he's depending on me and I'm depending on him. We

964
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 5: trust each other and like we're taking the field as

965
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 5: one and whatever happens, like we're all going to be

966
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 5: on the same page and play our hearts out for

967
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 5: one another. And yeah, it's special.

968
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, guys, that's why you play offensive lineman.

969
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: Did you? I mean, do you hear everything he's saying? Like,

970
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: I secretly always wanted to be an offensive lineman. I

971
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: always felt like I would gravitate towards you guys and

972
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 3: trying to hang out and be you know, part time

973
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: part time snack miss those snacks for great snacks are

974
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 3: the best and you get to hang out with the

975
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 3: old lineman after you know, we're speaking of Saturday nights.

976
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: You know, after you know, you have a team meeting

977
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: or whatever, and you have a quick snack and you

978
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: know everyone's got that little bit of anxiety in their

979
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 3: belly getting ready for the game the next day. But yeah,

980
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: exactly too many chocolate ship cookies with a little bit

981
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: of solid on them. But uh, but you're uh, but

982
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: you're with your guys, and it helps calm that anxiety

983
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 3: because you know, I knew Quentin Nelson had my back.

984
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: You know I knew, you know, speaking of Costanzo, you

985
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: know those guys have your back, and Braiden and and

986
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: all those guys you're playing with. It's a it's a

987
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: really good feeling. But speaking of teammates, we have to

988
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: talk about what Jonathan Taylor's doing. You've been with Jonathan

989
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 3: his whole career, and you know, I don't want to

990
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 3: compare the twenty one season because that's you know, that's

991
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: why I saw Jonathan rolling. I was playing with him,

992
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 3: you know, I was with him every day. But this

993
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 3: year it seems he's taken it to a whole other level.

994
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: I mean, just just speak on Jonathan and what it is,

995
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 3: what it means to be his teammate and play with

996
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: a guy.

997
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 5: Like that, I mean, it's an honor, it's a privilege. Yeah,

998
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 5: it's all those things. And it's especially just awesome when

999
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 5: it's such a great guy having this success. As you know,

1000
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 5: you were his teammate. He's an incredible human being. And

1001
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 5: it's hard to say like what he's done differently. He's

1002
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 5: just he's just improving and every single year. I don't

1003
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 5: know the ins and outs of it, but he's just

1004
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 5: an animal. It's definitely different than twenty one in my opinion,

1005
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 5: just what he's been able to do and like break

1006
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 5: the long ones, Yeah, like the eighty three yard or.

1007
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: However many yards.

1008
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 5: It was like he's just doing that on a consistent

1009
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 5: basis week after week and making incredible runs, and uh,

1010
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 5: you just never know what can happen when the ball

1011
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 5: hits his hands. And he's humble as all can be.

1012
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 5: It's not a guy that's gonna let the success go

1013
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 5: to his head, and he's just humble and hungry. He wants,

1014
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 5: he wants more, he wants to be the best, and uh,

1015
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 5: it's it's special playing with a guy like that.

1016
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think he he kind of got that

1017
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: old Lineman approach to him and he doesn't want to

1018
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: let his teammates down. Then, you know, that's what I

1019
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: always thought about. He just he just he wants to

1020
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 3: be one of the guys and help the team in

1021
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 3: any way he can. That's what I always like you said,

1022
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: you talk about the type of person he is, you

1023
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: just don't see that from from superstar running backs, right,

1024
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 3: and we got a special one in Jonathan Taylor. And

1025
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 3: continue to talk about teammates. You know, obviously I never

1026
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 3: played with Daniel Jones, but you know, you've played with

1027
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 3: a lot of different quarterbacks and and you know we

1028
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 3: got to play with Andrew together, we got play with

1029
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,479
Speaker 3: Philip and great leaders and I know, you know Matt Ryan,

1030
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 3: I know this success wasn't always there for that year,

1031
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: but I know he was. I know you spoke highly

1032
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 3: of him. Just kind of talk about, you know, Daniel's

1033
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 3: demeanor in what his leadership to this team is kind

1034
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 3: of meant.

1035
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 5: I mean, it's huge. He works his tail off every

1036
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 5: single day. He's got his routine and you see him

1037
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 5: follow that every single day with film study, with what

1038
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 5: he does before practice, all the work he does to.

1039
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 4: Be ready to go in practice.

1040
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 5: Just like he's going to be ready to go in

1041
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 5: the game, and then he's out there in the huddle

1042
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: like compoys, then collected, getting that play call out, getting

1043
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 5: the right kills going, and we're having a lot of

1044
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 5: fun together. You know, he's celebrating a ton with all

1045
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 5: the success he's having. He's having incredible throws week after week,

1046
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 5: and it's it's been an honor playing with him.

1047
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 4: For sure.

1048
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 3: Has he like yelled or got on you guys at

1049
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: all yet or is that not come you guys have

1050
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: been No, dude, he probably doesn't. Does he have that

1051
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 3: in him?

1052
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 5: You think or I think he does have it in him,

1053
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 5: but he hasn't done that. He is holds himself accountable

1054
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 5: first and foremost, Like whenever something goes wrong, it's always

1055
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 5: I need to be better?

1056
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: What could I have done to help my teammates?

1057
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, he puts so much on himself.

1058
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, dude, what are you talking about the amount

1059
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 5: of pressure you face today was insane? Or likes and

1060
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 5: like we need to be better as an offensive mine

1061
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 5: for you and like.

1062
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 4: That next week for you.

1063
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 5: But it's with him, it's always like I need to

1064
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 5: be better. So he's hasn't yelled at anyone else because

1065
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 5: he's so focused on himself and being better for us

1066
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 5: taking accountability.

1067
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: I think that's when you get.

1068
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 4: That he's taken too much accountable.

1069
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 5: Great, yeah, but that's you know, because he's a big

1070
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 5: reason why we're here exactly sitting at eight and too,

1071
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 5: and like, so much of our success is because of

1072
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 5: him and the way he's leading our offense week after week,

1073
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 5: and you know, the whole team just has a belief

1074
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 5: that we can win at any game with because of

1075
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 5: his presence, Yeah, and seeing his work and knowing.

1076
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 4: What he can do.

1077
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 5: So like he's so important to this team because he

1078
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 5: gives us belief in ourselves.

1079
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 3: That's that's exactly what you want from the quarterback position,

1080
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: all the things you just described and always, you know,

1081
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: always said a great quarterback makes your job easier, right

1082
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 3: because they always try to do more to help you, right,

1083
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 3: and take more accountability so I can help you. But

1084
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 3: you're the leader of the old line group, so you're saying, no, man,

1085
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 3: we got to do more to help you. And that's

1086
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 3: why we're having so much success as an offense.

1087
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: I think is from the leadership starts with you.

1088
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 3: Quinn. In my opinion. But then you got Pitley in

1089
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: the wide receivers, you get you know, leading those tight

1090
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: ends and and and you guys just have such great

1091
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 3: veteran leadership right now on an offense. And it's man,

1092
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: you guys are so much fun to watch. And I'm

1093
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 3: kind of a little bit jealous, you know, you know,

1094
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 3: not being a little bit of part of it, right

1095
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: and especially blocking for Jonathan like I missed that so much, man,

1096
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 3: and watching a guy roll like that. But well, in

1097
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 3: with a couple of fun questions here quick you all right,

1098
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 3: So you're a pretty good basketball player. I've seen you shoot.

1099
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 3: You got a nice little skyhook if I remember right

1100
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: left handed right and you I I you know, I

1101
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: was reading your Wikipedia as I'm you know now I'm

1102
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 3: a media guy prepping for this interview, and you were

1103
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 3: you were a baller in hoops to right and uh so, yeah,

1104
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 3: here's the question I've asked a lot of guys, this

1105
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: can you beat because you know I'm close with mo

1106
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 3: Can you beat Moley Cox one on one in basketball?

1107
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 3: And what would you what would be your strategy to

1108
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 3: beat him?

1109
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 5: There's no way you're beating Moan what I want in basketball?

1110
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 3: Man, No, you can't body him. You mother is strong.

1111
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's very strong, a freak, and you see that

1112
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 5: with his blocking. He's so strong and he's huge. Obviously

1113
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 5: he played on VCU and yeah D one and killed

1114
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 5: it when he was playing. But I've played some pick

1115
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 5: up with him one time, and just like the things

1116
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 5: he was doing on that court, there is no strategy, bro, Like,

1117
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 5: whatever you do, you're going exactly, you're going to lose.

1118
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the ins and outs. All Right, we'll

1119
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 3: give that one a mo even though I hate to

1120
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: do that. All right, last question here. All right, you're

1121
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: a left guard. If you could play any position besides

1122
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 3: left guard, let's say you have the same ability. So

1123
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 3: you're what, I don't know your stats. You're like a

1124
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 3: million time All Pro and like always go to the

1125
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl whatever. You're a stud. You know that. You

1126
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: don't like people saying it to you, but I'll say

1127
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: it to you. So you have the same abilities. What

1128
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 3: other position would you play in football?

1129
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 4: If I could play any position.

1130
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: Any position, you have the same ability, And.

1131
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 5: I think like making it realistic, like I'm not going

1132
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 5: to pick a skill position.

1133
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 4: I'm going D line. I'm playing D line.

1134
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 3: And you're just like fifteen sacks every single year.

1135
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if it would be that.

1136
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're double digit sack guy every year.

1137
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 5: But I just think it would be really fun to

1138
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 5: play D line because like all the stress I think

1139
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 5: is put on the offensive line. It's like if you

1140
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 5: give up a sack, or you have a false start

1141
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 5: or a holding, or you know, you give up a

1142
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 5: TfL like it's like, oh this guy stunk today. Like

1143
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 5: defensive linemen can get blocked the whole game. They make

1144
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 5: one play. All you need is that one play. And

1145
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 5: I think if I could take my knowledge of O

1146
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 5: line play and go play D line, yeah, here the

1147
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 5: offensive lines calls know what's coming, and I could play

1148
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 5: with you know that awareness.

1149
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 4: I think I could be pretty good.

1150
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 3: I think pretty good. You'd probably be good even without

1151
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 3: you know, having to change your body anyway. You'd you

1152
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 3: think you're better than Grove at D tackle. No, But

1153
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 3: to your point, though, I always thought this was a

1154
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 3: good idea, and I've always thought this, Like in the spring,

1155
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 3: I think the old lineman should go meet with the

1156
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 3: D lineman coach and just like learn like basic techniques

1157
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 3: and be coached how to play that so that you

1158
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: know how to defeat it right and and you know

1159
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 3: what they're being taught. I don't know, that's that's my

1160
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 3: if you want.

1161
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: To suggest, but put them in the suggestion and.

1162
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 3: See where it goes. But Q, you're the man. I

1163
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 3: appreciate you doing this. Man, it was an I truly

1164
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 3: mean this cute. You're you're the ultimate teammate. Man. Obviously

1165
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 3: you're you know all the you're a great player and

1166
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 3: all that fun stuff. But the way you carry yourself,

1167
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 3: the way you play this game of football is is

1168
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 3: just something that I was truly honored to play with

1169
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 3: and I having a lot of fun watching you play.

1170
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us, man.

1171
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:49,959
Speaker 4: Thanks man, I got to learn from the best.

1172
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: Number fifty six right there, kept the chair warm.

1173
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 3: He's a big boy, good at that.

1174
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 2: And tell you what that is. We talked about iron Man.

1175
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 2: He is a seven time Pro Bowler. He is the

1176
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 2: only cold in the history of the franchise to make

1177
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl in each of.

1178
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: His first seven years.

1179
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: And I don't think there's any reason why this year

1180
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: is not going to be number eight, five time All

1181
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: Pro player, three time first team All Pro, and he's

1182
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 2: only missed four games in his NFL career. What did

1183
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 2: you appreciate the most about Q when you played with him?

1184
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: He's just offense.

1185
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: He's just a great teammate man. He holds people accountable,

1186
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 3: you know, and he plays the game the right way.

1187
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: He makes you want to play harder, right, he makes

1188
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 3: you want to play with the extra effort. You know.

1189
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 3: He's a future Hall of Famer, let's call it what

1190
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 3: it is, right, and he plays this game with an

1191
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 3: effort that you would think you'd see from a guy

1192
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: fighting for a roster spot each and every week. He's

1193
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: just the ultimate teammate man. It was an honor to

1194
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 3: play with him.

1195
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy to think that the Colts have two

1196
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: future Hall of.

1197
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: Famers on this team? Yeah, and it's Taylor's crazy, Like

1198
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: that's not even hyperbole. No, I get to say I

1199
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: was teammates with him too. Yeah, I'm sweet. Yeah. Hopefully

1200
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: hopefully they invite me. I'll go to Canon and to

1201
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: certain Ring of Honor guys as well, watching greatness in

1202
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 2: real time. That's why I wanted to go back. You

1203
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 2: know a couple of segments ago, if you will, on

1204
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 2: the podcast, we need to appreciate what we're watching in

1205
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 2: real time.

1206
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 3: It's just amazing. These guys are just like, these are

1207
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 3: future Hall of Fame players, and what they're doing is

1208
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 3: just you know, we can't take it for granted and

1209
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 3: we have to appreciate it. And again, it can't happen

1210
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: to better guys. Right, These are guys you want your

1211
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 3: kids to emulate. And the way they carry themselves, and again,

1212
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 3: the way they play the game of football is just

1213
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 3: it's just a joy to watch.

1214
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: No doubt about it.

1215
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 3: All right.

1216
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 2: Speaking of joys to watch, for most Kansas City Chiefs

1217
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 2: fan fans out there, I should say that's been their

1218
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 2: team a joy to watch, right, The consistency, the level

1219
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: of success, all right. Over the last six seasons, the

1220
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 2: Chiefs have appeared in five Super Bowls. They've won three

1221
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: of them. Last year, they clinched their ninth straight AFC

1222
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 2: West title. They were the first team in the history

1223
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 2: of the NFL to host five consecutive conference championship games.

1224
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 2: They've appeared in seven straight conference championship games. Last year,

1225
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: they became the first team in NFL history to advance

1226
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 2: to a third straight Super Bowl after winning the previous two.

1227
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 2: We know they didn't get the job done last year.

1228
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 2: But they have been a dynasty, but it looks like

1229
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 2: the foundation is.

1230
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: Coming apart a little bit. Right, I've been on I don'.

1231
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: Want to speak too soon, but people in Kansas City

1232
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: and Chiefs Kingdom, they're freaking out.

1233
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: They're five and five, Jack.

1234
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 2: They're not winning these one score games like they have

1235
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: been so accustomed to. Going into last year, or should say,

1236
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 2: going into this season, they had a streak of winning

1237
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 2: seventeen straight one score games games decided by eight points

1238
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 2: or fewer. This year they're zero to five in one

1239
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: score game. So when you watch them casually and then

1240
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 2: going into this week, when you look at them obviously

1241
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 2: more intently on tape, Jack, why are they not closing

1242
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 2: out close games like they were in twenty twenty three

1243
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty four. That was the case this past

1244
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 2: Sunday they lost twenty two to nineteen to the Broncos.

1245
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: They had the.

1246
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 2: Ball twice the Chiefs did with a chance to go

1247
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 2: down and close it out, and they went three and

1248
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: out both times.

1249
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was watching that game, and you just they've

1250
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 3: hit the point where you just expect it, right, you

1251
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 3: just expect seventeen straight They've won seventeen or they won

1252
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 3: before this season going into the season. Yeah, that's insane,

1253
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 3: and then zero to five this year. You know, honestly,

1254
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 3: I think that's just a little bit of like maybe

1255
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: they were just playing with fire a little bit too much,

1256
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 3: right and playing these one score games that eventually, you know,

1257
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 3: the football guys are going to be like, yeah, hey,

1258
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 3: you need to lose some of these like it' stop

1259
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 3: messing around, you know, and playing these one score games.

1260
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 3: But you know, like you said, Matt, this is all

1261
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: they know. All they know is winning football and conference

1262
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 3: championship games and hosting conference championships games. It's just incredible

1263
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 3: what they've done and coach Reid lean the way. But

1264
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 3: so yeah, it makes it fun for this this challenge

1265
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 3: coming up.

1266
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: Man.

1267
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 3: I loved playing in Kansas City. It's an unbelievable atmosphere.

1268
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: The fans know football, right, they really do, and they

1269
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 3: cheer when they supposed to, they're a loud when they're

1270
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: supposed to, and it's just a it's a fun, fun

1271
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 3: place to play.

1272
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you you played there three times?

1273
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?

1274
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: I think yeah, sure, yeah, I think yeah you did.

1275
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: That sounds right easy for me to tell you, right.

1276
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 2: But but twice you played them in December and January,

1277
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 2: so cold weather.

1278
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's it like to play there?

1279
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 2: Because I mean it's it's flat, the wind, chill, the

1280
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: wind plus the noise. Where where did that rank when

1281
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 2: you played them in those conditions in terms of toughest

1282
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: environments you experienced.

1283
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 3: I love it. That's what football suppos That's what football

1284
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: is supposed to be played. Man, It's supposed to be

1285
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: played outside on grass in winter weather. You know, That's

1286
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 3: that's what I think, right, you know. So my rookie year,

1287
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 3: we played there in thirteen. Yeah, and it was like simber. Yeah,

1288
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 3: it was like four degrees. It was the coolest game

1289
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: I ever played. Yeah, you know, maybe the Buffalo Blizzard

1290
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 3: game was you know, felt colder than that, but like

1291
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 3: degree wise, it was the coolest game I ever played.

1292
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 3: And I remember like now they got the heaters under

1293
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 3: the field to kind of make sure the grass or

1294
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 3: you know, the grass doesn't freeze. But I remember the

1295
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 3: end zone was like an ice skating yeah, like you know,

1296
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 3: to paint the ice green. Yeah, it was. It really

1297
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 3: was like your cleats didn't go in the ground, like

1298
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 3: so you wouldn't stop.

1299
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: And that was right next to the tunnel. When you

1300
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 2: guys are walking out. Yeah, remember running out, you guys

1301
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 2: are like slipping all the.

1302
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 3: Luckily I wasn't going to be in the ends, you know,

1303
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: at that point, I wasn't going to be back there.

1304
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: You know, I was worried about blocking.

1305
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: For Donald Brown to make it onto the field.

1306
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 3: I was trying to make you I got to get

1307
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 3: out there and hopefully do some special team stuff and

1308
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: and and go do some ISO blocks back then. But uh,

1309
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, that was fun. We won that game. That

1310
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 3: was a fun game, you know, December football game, and

1311
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 3: it's yeah, like I said, man, it's a great atmosphere

1312
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 3: and it's it's a fun place to play. Yeah.

1313
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have never lost three in a row. They've

1314
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 2: lost act to back games going into this game. They've

1315
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 2: never lost three in a row under Patrick Mahomes. All right,

1316
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: and it's it's with with their season right now, Jack,

1317
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna get the Colts are gonna get their best shot.

1318
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: I mean they are in third place in the division

1319
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 2: right now. If the playoffs started today, they would not

1320
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: be in They're in the ninth ninth place in the

1321
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 2: AFC playoff pecking order. Uh, this is uncharted waters for them.

1322
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: So they got a tough schedule the rest of the way.

1323
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: But uh, they're trying to make a statement against the Colts,

1324
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: but also they're they're trying to save their season.

1325
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, this that place is going to be rocking. Man.

1326
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 3: The fans know, the players know, everyone knows what's at

1327
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: stake for them in this game to to kind of

1328
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 3: get they're gonna they're trying to, you know, get themselves

1329
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 3: back on track to to what they've been and who

1330
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 3: they think they are. So yeah, what I mean, I'm like,

1331
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 3: let's go play, Like, let me go practice. Do you

1332
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: think they can sign me for you know, I'll get

1333
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: like a kick return, I'll block somebody and then get

1334
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 3: me out of there.

1335
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: But you know I want to go play field.

1336
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, just be a part of it, man. This is

1337
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 3: this is why you you know, you used to have

1338
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 3: coaches saying this is why you lift all them ways,

1339
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 3: This is why you run all those you know, gassers

1340
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 3: in the summer. This is it, right, you know, this

1341
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: is we're starting to get the field for playoff football.

1342
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 3: Like you said, they felt it a little bit last

1343
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 3: week in Berlin. You get to November December. Football's coming

1344
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 3: like it's time to roll. This is this is why

1345
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 3: you do all that you know, heavy lifting, all that

1346
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 3: hard work, all this, all that preparation Like this, this

1347
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 3: is it. This is what you want. You want an opportunity,

1348
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 3: and that's what the Colts got in front of them

1349
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 3: all right.

1350
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Lastly, to close out, speaking of opportunity, it's going to

1351
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 2: be a great opportunity for Tyler Warren to share the

1352
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: same field with an all time great, a future Hall

1353
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 2: of Famer in his position in Travis Kelcey. So, just

1354
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 2: for discussion sake, I'm fascinated by this because you play

1355
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 2: the position as well. So we got two great tight

1356
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 2: ends plus a great tight end that can analyze it

1357
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 2: in yourself, Jack, I mean Travis Kelcey. He owns the

1358
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 2: most receptions in Chiefs history, the most receiving yards in

1359
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 2: chief history. He is the only Chiefs player over twelve

1360
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 2: thousand career receiving yards. Last week, I don't know if

1361
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 2: you saw it against the Broncos, but he set the

1362
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs record for scrimmage touchdowns in franchise history. But this

1363
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 2: is crazy. Goes back to the Jonathan Taylor stat that

1364
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 2: we talked about with what he does after he gets hit,

1365
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 2: But Kelsey, it's what he does after he catches the ball.

1366
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Since twenty thirteen, Travis Kelsey ranks first in yards after

1367
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: the catch by all NFL players and ranks second all

1368
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: time in NFL history in YAK he has over six

1369
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 2: thousand career receiving yards after the catch. So that's the

1370
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: goat the up and coming great player already for the

1371
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Colts as Tyler Warren. He leads the NFL this year

1372
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: among tight ends in YACK and again last week in Berlin,

1373
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 2: passed Dwayne Allen for the most catches by a rookie

1374
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 2: tight end in Colts history. Also passed out for the

1375
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 2: third most receiving yards by a ricky tight end in

1376
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 2: team history. So when you watch these two guys, obviously

1377
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 2: you have a bigger sample size of Kelsey than Warren.

1378
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 2: But when you watch these two guys Jack, what are

1379
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: the similarities and what are the differences in their game

1380
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 2: so far?

1381
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, first thing I think of when you

1382
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 3: think of guys leading in YAK, you know, yards after catch.

1383
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 3: They must be great at creating separation in their routes, right,

1384
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 3: because it's not catch tackle right, it's ketch run. Yeah.

1385
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 3: So both of them have great instincts that you know,

1386
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 3: Tyler has impressed me so much early in his career

1387
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 3: of just his instincts right and doing what Daniel expects

1388
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 3: him to do. And I think I've heard Daniel say

1389
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 3: this too. It's like there's some things you don't even

1390
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 3: need to talk about, right, and Tyler just does them.

1391
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 3: He does what you what the quarterback expects him to

1392
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 3: do and creating separation and finding the holes. And that's

1393
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 3: what Kelsey has made a career on right. Him and

1394
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes are on the same page. And he was

1395
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: doing it before he even had Patrick, and yeah, and

1396
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 3: with Alex Smith, and he's just so his instincts are incredible, right,

1397
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 3: And it's something you can't coach, something you can't teach sometimes,

1398
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 3: it's just these guys just both have a knack for

1399
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 3: forgetting open and figuring out a way to get open

1400
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 3: against everything you throw it at him. I'm sure Kelsey

1401
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 3: has seen everything under the sun, as far as double

1402
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 3: teams and zone man whatever you want to put on him,

1403
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 3: a linebacker, a safety, a corner. You know, he's seen

1404
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,479
Speaker 3: it all and he has unbelievable instincts in finding ways

1405
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 3: to get open and finding the holes in defenses.

1406
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have Taylor Swift guy, Travis Kelsey.

1407
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say I'm a Taylor Swift guy. Yeah, I

1408
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 3: like her music.

1409
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Sure you don't have a favorite Taylor Swift song. I'm

1410
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: sure your wife likes Taylor Swift.

1411
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, she likes Tyler, she likes Taylor Swift. I wouldn't

1412
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 3: say we're like Swifties. I'm not trying to call out

1413
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 3: like I like her. I appreciate what she did because

1414
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that. That's scary, that's scary.

1415
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 3: But I really appreciate what she does. But I wouldn't

1416
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 3: say I'm like, I'm a diehard, Like I know what

1417
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 3: she's like eating for breakfast.

1418
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 2: So there's people out there, people out there, but I

1419
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 2: do it.

1420
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean, what an unbelievable talent. Like, I mean, it's

1421
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 3: incredible what she's been able to do and it seems

1422
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 3: like a good person. So yeah, happy for him.

1423
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Sure she's going to be at the game on Sunday.

1424
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure they need it.

1425
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: They need the magic.

1426
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: Now your colts can negate some of that on Sunday.

1427
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: All right.

1428
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 2: We always close out the podcast with a fun little

1429
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,000

1437
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 2: job of, you know, peeling back the onions on yourself here.

1438

Speaker 2: So this week's question NaNs on you don't know Jack Doyle.

1440
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 2: as a kid growing up?

01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: That's you didn't really you don't.

1442
01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 3: Really, Uh, I don't think I can say, Matt.

1443
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, well you don't really. You probably weren't like

1444
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: a rebel.

1445
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 3: You know.

1446
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I was a kid.

1447
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 3: I was a good kid, you know.

1448
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean this is a compliment. You probably a rule follower.

1449
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 3: I am a rule follower. I'm a people pleaser and

1450
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 3: all you were a good kid growing up, all those

1451
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 3: lame things. Yeah, I was a good kid. I was

1452
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 3: a good kid. You know. My parents were pretty lax though,

1453
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 3: you know, I don't you know, it wasn't like I

1454
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 3: had strict parents or anything like that.

1455
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, I may give me something when I went.

1456
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 3: To high school. Yeah, what I do. I'm trying to

1457
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 3: think of like stuff I did that I like regret.

1458
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 3: So I did, you know, Matt obviously you know you

1459
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 3: kind of said me the question before, so I was

1460
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 3: kind of thinking of it on the way in. Yeah,

1461
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 3: so there's one time, and I still regret this, Okay,

1462
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 3: So I and I actually got in trouble for it,

1463
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 3: so I didn't even get away with it. So I

1464
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 3: was a middle schooler. I think I was in eighth grade,

1465
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 3: and we you know, as a middle schooler, you're thirteen

1466
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 3: fourteen years old, right, and the frontal lobe of your

1467
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: brain is not developed. Right, So you're you're an idiot,

1468
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 3: is basically what I'm saying and not being serious. Yeah,

1469
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 3: I kind of, But what I did is immaturity. Fact,

1470
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 3: the immaturity was huge. So we were into pantsing each other. Man,

1471
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys ever do that. There

1472
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 3: was a phase where and so I pantsed and I

1473
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 3: got to shout out my guy, Danny mcneilis good buddy

1474
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 3: of mine, and I pantsed him and you know, and

1475
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 3: and it all came out and I felt really bad

1476
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 3: and I got in trouble. You know, I had to

1477
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 3: I had to clean around the school. That was like

1478
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 3: my punishment for recess. I like eighth grade. It was

1479
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 3: like the end, like we're almost done, so like I

1480
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 3: could have gotten more trouble, and but I didn't, and

1481
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 3: I still feel bad about it. So I got to

1482
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 3: shout out, Danny, I'm sorry. I was dared to do it.

1483
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna throw who dared me under the bus,

1484
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 3: but I was dared to do it. And yeah, it's

1485
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 3: just you know, I still feel bad about it for Danny.

1486
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 3: And I know Danny's doing well. Danny's fine, Danny's fine,

1487
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 3: Danny's fine, didn't scar him or anything like that. But

1488
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 3: I still have regret about it. I still feel bad.

1489
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 3: And uh, if my son does that, he will be

1490
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 3: in trouble.

1491
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean the stupid stuff kids, you know what I mean.

1492
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 3: And now I'm teaching, you know, middle school kids. So

1493
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 3: maybe I shouldn't have said that story because you know,

1494
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 3: they don't give anything. They can use it against me.

1495
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 3: But you're just an immature You know, little idiot, right,

1496
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 3: stupid it's funny. That's not it's not funny. You're an idiot.

1497
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 3: You're an idiot. So so yeah, that's probably my you know,

1498
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 3: big regret, and I still, you know, I still have

1499
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 3: like remorse about it and feel bad.

1500
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: About it, even all these years later, all these years later.

1501
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 1: This is like your Billy Madison moment, like when you

01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: call the guy in the phone. I'm crossing it all
