00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: going on today before we get into big hulla baloo

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: about what's going on here with our colts. We've got

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: a busy one, so stay tuned. We've got the toolbox

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: around here somewhere.

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: We'll get it out. But these two craftsmen right here,

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: craftsman craftswomen. We're gonna bring.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: Out some areas of difficulty that we've seen up to

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: this point.

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: But the toolbox is out.

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: You're gonna show you how the Colts can kind of

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: calm these waters a little bit. Everybody just relaxed. Or

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: at two and three right now. We heard Shane Stiken

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: say that a couple of weeks ago. So one week

17
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: at a time.

18
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: League.

19
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: Hey, Also, we're gonna talk about some individual players at

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: are highlighting having a hell of a year. We're gonna

21
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: hand pick a few of those and point out who

22
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: is playing well.

23
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: And then we've got an interview. Here we go.

24
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: Lara Overton, you met for the third week in a row,

25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: which happens probably pretty rarely when it comes to Network

26
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: TV covering of NFL games, but ADDI can Helboala has

27
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: had the three last Colts games. That was the win

28
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh, the loss of Jacksonville, and now we'll be

29
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: down at Tennessee.

30
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: So she knows this football team pretty good.

31
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: And she was the one who got that great postgame

32
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: interview with Joe Flacco in which she was asked about

33
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: or she asked Joe about Anthony thinking he's cool, and

34
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: Joe said, I just found out I'm eight days older

35
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: than Anthony's mom, So in no world does.

36
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 4: He think I'm cool.

37
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: So she has gotten some gems these last few weeks,

38
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: and yeah, great to have her this weekend and hopefully

39
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: we can bookend this stretch with another victory down there

40
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: in It's starting.

41
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: It's starting, JJ. Let's go to you the vibe after

42
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: this game. We saw what happened. We saw Joe Flacco

43
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: lead this offense back. There was some high points, there

44
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: were some low points. There was a ton of yards

45
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: given up by this defense. But we all thought Joe

46
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: is gonna He's gonna finish this.

47
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Thing and do it the right way. It didn't happen.

48
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: But my point is this all is not lost.

49
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: There are still some beautiful cloud sunny skies out there

50
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: for this Colts team. Because it's only two and three.

51
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Let's not forget what the Texans did last year. Heck,

52
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: they ended up winning the stinking division after a rough start.

53
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't want to paper over some of

54
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 5: the issues that this team has, but generally speaking, through

55
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 5: five weeks, there are some things to be encouraged about

56
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 5: that are more kind of big picture than like, you know,

57
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: the offense is doing some decent stuff. The Colts have

58
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 5: the best turnover differential in the AFC South. They're plus one.

59
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: The Texans and Jaguars are next at minus three. The

60
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: Colts have a turnover differential plus four, better than the

61
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 5: next team in the division. They also have the best

62
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 5: the highest net points total in the division. It's still

63
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: minus three, but they're at minus three. The Texans are

64
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: minus twelve, the Titans are minus eleven, the Jaguars are

65
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: minus forty six. And I don't I kind of like

66
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 5: looking at that sometimes, just like, are you playing a

67
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: lot of close games? Have you been boat raced yet?

68
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: The Texans got boat raced by the Minnesota Vikings a

69
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 5: couple weeks ago. Otherwise, the Colts have played in a

70
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: lot of close games, and while the defense has some

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 5: issues that we're going to get into here, the Colts

72
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 5: are just a couple plays away here. Legitimately, this isn't

73
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: like a team kind of coping and being like, ah

74
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: were a couple plays away. It's like you are a

75
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 5: couple of plays away from flipping this thing and being

76
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 5: in a good position to make the playoffs. So there's

77
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 5: some good things going on here. There are some issues

78
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 5: that need to be fixed with this football team, but

79
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: it's early enough in the season that if you can

80
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 5: fix them, there's enough here that this team can still

81
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: make a run.

82
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and Lara, we've seen the urgent care waiting room.

83
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: It's called the Colts. On both sides of the ball.

84
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: We will be getting some players back from out that's

85
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: totally gonna help out. It didn't in Jacksonville. There was

86
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people that were watching the game on

87
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: the sidelines. But again, a lot of starters will be

88
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: coming back over this week and next week as well.

89
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, one of them, of course, not gonna be Will

90
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: Fries suffered that devastating injury last Sunday. That was a

91
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: horrific scene to see him carted off and all of that,

92
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: and heard the guys you know, just tell him love gifts,

93
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: Spud as they were taking him to the Colts locker room,

94
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: and had an opportunity to talk with Zira Franklin and

95
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: Quentin Nelson in the locker room or about just how

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: much Will has meant to this team.

97
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: JJ and O, you and I each kind of traded

98
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: some messages just.

99
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: With Will, and he is in very good spirits, just saying, hey,

100
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: small bump in the road and know I'm gonna be back.

101
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be better like he is. He has just

102
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 3: an incredible outlook through all of this. But yeah, you

103
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: do start to look at with two weeks that you

104
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: did not have Kenny Quitty, Ryan Kelly, this would be

105
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: an ideal opportunity to get a couple of those guys back.

106
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: And then also you get this sense I think, I mean,

107
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: just kind of looking at where they were at the

108
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: end of last week, I think that there's a better

109
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: chance of getting Anthony Richardson than Jonathan Taylor for this

110
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: week against the Tennessee Titans, unless something happens. I mean,

111
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: we still have a lot of days to get through

112
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: haven't even practiced yet this week. We'll see what transpires

113
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: on Wednesday. But that's the I would say, my that's

114
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: where I lean, That's where my intuition takes me as

115
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: I look at where you are going into week six.

116
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're probably right on that, just in

117
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: the general vibe you're getting from listening to like when

118
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: Shane Steichen's on Roundtable Live yesterday saying, you know, he's

119
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 5: encouraged about the progress of those guys with Richardson, Taylor,

120
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 5: Ryan Kelly, and Kennymore. The second you know, you start

121
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: getting guys back after being so depleted for the last

122
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, that always is going to help. DeForest

123
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 5: Buckner will be eligible to come off IR in week seven,

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: so you know, we don't know if this is going

125
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 5: to be the last game that buck misses. Hopefully he's

126
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: back sooner rather than later, Like you know, the cults

127
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: are not putting a timetable on it, but that's.

128
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 6: Something to keep an eye on.

129
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: If you can get Buck back this month, maybe for Miami,

130
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: maybe for Houston.

131
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: Hitting it in the weight room too, like this is

132
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: a guy who's gonna come back with a ferocity.

133
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 6: See some of those videos he's posting on his Instagram.

134
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I take notice.

135
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good.

136
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's not gonna come back out of shape.

137
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 5: Let's just let's let's yeah.

138
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: I can't think of a point probably in the last

139
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: decade plus that DeForest has probably been out of shaped

140
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: in That's a.

141
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: Really good no, kid, and good point. Hey quick, let's

142
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: stay with the offensive line. Will Fry as you talked about,

143
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: he'll be missed that thing. He's not going to be

144
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: it's not going to be eligible to come back. It

145
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: looks like for the rest of this season we saw

146
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: Dalton Tucker go in there. He's been he's been brought

147
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: up on this show a couple you know, more than.

148
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Just a few times.

149
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: But with the health of Brian Kelly, guys, my question is,

150
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: if Kelly can go this week, is there an option

151
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Bordelini sides inside or is it a Dalton Tucker show.

152
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 5: Bordolini played some guard during the preseason, and you know,

153
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: he had some good reps in there. He's got that

154
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 5: flexibility to play garden center, So I think it's it's

155
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 5: a The good news is that both Tucker and Bordelini

156
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: have played well when they've come in. Bordelini has been great,

157
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: Like you cannot ask for a better showing for a

158
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: guy's first two games of his NFL career, stepping in

159
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: its center against especially that Steelers defense. That's right, really

160
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 5: really good, really tuned up. He's really shown himself to be,

161
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 5: you know, a really reliable player in there. And then

162
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: Dalton Tucker came in and it looks it up. He only

163
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: gave a one pressure and twenty pass rushing snap nic

164
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 5: that he faced against Jacksonville, So you know, good showing

165
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 5: from him. A guy who earned his way on this

166
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 5: team during the preseason as an undrafted free agent. So

167
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: you got some options there, which is never a bad

168
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 5: thing to have, right, And.

169
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out what the injury report is midweek.

170
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: Let's break out the toolbox right now, guys, because we

171
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: saw a bunch of these issues, if you will, down

172
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville. It's been that like that since the start

173
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: of the season defensively.

174
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: But how about this.

175
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Pick your tool of choice, go to the toolbox and

176
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: tell me how we're gonna fix allowing these explosive plays

177
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: on defense.

178
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: How do we minimalize?

179
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: So here's Here's where I'm kind of at with the

180
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: explosive plays is the Colts are not allowing a ton

181
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: of them, like baseline. They are an explosive play rate

182
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: against the pass. They're thirteenth in the NFL.

183
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: The ones here allowing or just fatal.

184
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna get to is you're allowing

185
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: so it's an explosive play is any pass that's fifteen

186
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: or more yards. The Colts have allowed those at the

187
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: thirteenth lowest rate in the NFL this year. So that's fine,

188
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: that's about league average. The problem is the Colts have

189
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: allowed five passes of forty or more yards, four passes

190
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: of forty more yards, and three passes of sixty or

191
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: more yards. So, like Lara said, when you're allowing them,

192
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: they are critical blows. It's like you might be getting

193
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 5: you know, in a little fight. You might not be

194
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: getting jabbed all that much, but you get hit with

195
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: three Haymakers and you can't come back from that.

196
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: It's running and receiving.

197
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, yeah, you're the one the Bigs

198
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: b run against Jacksonville sixty five. Yeah, so but you know,

199
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: the Colts in an explosive run percentage allowed our twentieth

200
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 5: in the NFL. A lot of that goes back to

201
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: the first two weeks of the season. But yeah, I mean,

202
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: you you can't allow sixty yard gains like that's just

203
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 5: something you can't do. Here's this is I just thought

204
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 5: was kind of funny. The Colts are dead last in

205
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 5: the NFL in allowing plays of forty or more yards.

206
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 5: They lead the NFL well in plays of forty more yards.

207
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: About that offense and just two complete Yeah.

208
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

209
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: The other thing about the explosive plays is that the

210
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: trend has become that facing the Colts defense is a

211
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 3: bit of a get back game for some of these offenses.

212
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: The quarterbacks that you've faced, they've had their best outings

213
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: of the season against the Indianapolis Colts. This Jacksonville Jaguars

214
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: offense was by no means potent until they faced the Colts.

215
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: Justin Field's best game of his season so far, Kayleb

216
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: Williams best game of.

217
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: His season.

218
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 6: Carolina. Carolina's defense is also okay.

219
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean but you look at look at that. Yeah,

220
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: that was where I was going next.

221
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: It was gonna say, you know, especially when you know,

222
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 3: you look to the second half of that Steelers game.

223
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: I think that that half in particular in there, I

224
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: think was probably one of the better performances that you

225
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: have seen from fields. But yes, Malik Willis, of course,

226
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: which I mean, backup, that's going to happen. You've had

227
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: nothing to compare that to, of course, But I think

228
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: that is.

229
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: What scares me a little bit. It is that you have.

230
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: These quarterbacks that you are facing who are like, oh,

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: this is the you know, I don't care if I've

232
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: struggled before. This is what other this is how they've

233
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: carved them up. This is potentially what we can do

234
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: going up against them. And it's interesting this week because

235
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: again talk about injuries.

236
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: We'll have to wait and see what Tennessee is gonna do.

237
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: We have Will Levis with the ac joint sprain reported

238
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: to be an ac joint sprain in his throwing shoulders,

239
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: so it could be Mason Rudolph. So how you're preparing

240
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: versus either of those guys. Obviously you swept Tennessee last year.

241
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: This is very different looking Titans team than what you

242
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: got in twenty twelve.

243
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 5: And it's it's Levis or Rudolph this week and then

244
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: next week it's what Snoopuntley for the Dolphins. So you're

245
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 5: absolutely right, Larry. You've got these quarterbacks, you say, like,

246
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 5: well that that should be a good matchup for the Colts.

247
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: And you know, Trevor Lawrence goes from completing fifty something

248
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 5: percent of his passes in the first four games to

249
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 5: eighty eighty two percent.

250
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: He has career games against the Colts.

251
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, so that I mean, that's a problem

252
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 5: that this this is a problem that the Colts have

253
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: to solve. And you know, Zire Franklin, I think hit

254
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: a really good note when I asked him after the game,

255
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 5: like how do you balance? Like you give up thirty

256
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 5: seven points, but I mean, you know, like you got

257
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: all these you got a lot of backups in and

258
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 5: he's like, there's no excuse for it. If you are

259
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 5: on the field, if you're in this locker room, you're

260
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 5: here for a reason. And the thing is the league

261
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: doesn't care. And that's what he said. He's like, Jacksonville

262
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 5: didn't care, The Titans aren't going to care. When you

263
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: get to the end of the season. If you miss

264
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 5: the playoffs and your defense is decimated by injuries, the

265
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 5: point is you miss the playoffs.

266
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 6: It starts.

267
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: The sentence starts with you missed the playoffs, not the

268
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: defense was decimated by you don't.

269
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: Get an asterisk right exact the end of your record.

270
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: Every team deals with injuries. The Colts are dealing with

271
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: a lot on the defensive line right now. Three defensive

272
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 5: ends and DeForest Buckner out like that's insane. Dio danngbo

273
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: I thought it a really good point yesterday that with Taekwon,

274
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: lewis going on, ir, you lose a guy who can

275
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: play every single position. He's like, it's almost like you're

276
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: losing four guys when you lose Taekwon. But that's the

277
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: reality of the league.

278
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: Can we fix the quarterback pressure? And I know, like

279
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: I said, it's an urgent care waiting room. I get it,

280
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: But can quarterback pressure be fixed this season by Gus

281
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: Bradley in this defensive US And I want.

282
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: To go to comment yesterday from Shane if I can

283
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: dig it up really quickly. So I'm going through the transcript,

284
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: and I think that this is as strong as we

285
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: have heard him comment.

286
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: If I can find it.

287
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 6: Is it the one about the four man, five or

288
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 6: six man pressure?

289
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 4: Correct?

290
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: There it is we allowed too many of those, and

291
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 3: we've got to get those things cleaned up. Also affecting

292
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback, whether that's with the four man rush, a

293
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: five man rush, or a six man rush. We've got

294
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: to affect the quarterback early in games and go from there.

295
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: Here's here's what it is. Just do something early, affect

296
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks early on play that make them play back

297
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: in their heels just a little bit, disrupt that offensive

298
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: rhythm early on. That's where if you do that successfully

299
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: within the first quarter, I think everything else is going

300
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: to level out to some degree. You don't have to,

301
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 3: in my mind, overhaul things completely. You just have to

302
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: put a heavier emphasis on that aspect early on in games,

303
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,119
Speaker 3: especially against quarterbacks who are not coming in holy confident.

304
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: This is not a situation. I mean, you know, obviously

305
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: when you face CJ. Stroud, that's one thing, right, that's

306
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: a different type of situation, But you aren't right the

307
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that you're facing.

308
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: You have to take advantage of the fact they are

309
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 4: relatively should be relatively compromised.

310
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 5: Well, look look at what happened to with Justin Fields

311
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: where the Colts got pressure on him early in that game.

312
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 5: They built a lead and Yeah, he had a great

313
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 5: second half, but it was always just to come back.

314
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 5: It wasn't to control the game like Trevor Lawrence controlled

315
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: this game in Week five. I think the the early

316
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: pressure is such a good point because, especially with this

317
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 5: defense the way it's designed, if you get that d

318
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: line rolling early in a game, then the quarterback's thinking

319
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 5: about it that you're thinking about the pressure. You're thinking

320
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 5: about where's Layatu latu?

321
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 6: You know. Whereas if you get settled into a.

322
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: Game and for Trevor Lawrence's jersey didn't get dirty the

323
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 5: entire game, you don't have to think about that. You

324
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 5: can just play fore you can rip a sixty one

325
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: yard pass to Christian Kirk on second and twenty four

326
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 5: because you're not worried about the rush because it hasn't

327
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: got to you to that point of the game.

328
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: And conversely, when this offense is struggled, when has it

329
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: been when you've gotten to the quarterback early. You've pressured

330
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: and disrupted this offense early in games and you know,

331
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: not allowed them to establish the you know, obviously it's

332
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: what they've done early on. When you've seen this defense

333
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: or excuse me, this offense find success, they've hit the

334
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: explosive plays often they've got or hit the explosives early.

335
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: They've been able to establish, you know, big leads early

336
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: in games, or you know, get off to a fast start.

337
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: So I looked at some of the pressure rate numbers.

338
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: The Colts are twenty ninth in pressure rate right now.

339
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 6: No good, no team.

340
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 5: They're at twenty six point six percent of opposing dropbacks,

341
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: they've just generated a pressure. No team has made the

342
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 5: playoffs with a pressure rate under thirty percent since twenty twenty,

343
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: So that number's got to get up. You if you

344
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 5: want to have a shot at making the playoffs, that

345
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 5: number probably is gonna have to get over thirty percent

346
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: bare minimum. And then the thing that maybe is the

347
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: most concerning is the cults are not generating quick pressure.

348
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 5: So opposing quarterbacks, you're you're able to quick drops get

349
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 5: the ball out because you're not really worried, and you

350
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: know those players are tough to generate pressure on. But

351
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 5: the Colts this year they've only had eighteen plays where

352
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: they've generated pressure under two and a half seconds. That's

353
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 5: thirtieth in the NFL in terms of quick pressure rate,

354
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 5: which is a stat pro football rope, pro football focused tracks.

355
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: Excuse me, they've generated a quick pressure on twelve point

356
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 5: one percent of dropacks. That's thirty first in the NFL.

357
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 5: Only the Carolina Panthers are worse. Okay, so that's a

358
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 5: tough thing right there. If you're not getting that, I.

359
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: Gotta ask you both opinion questions right here. Can we

360
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: fix this with the blitz? Can we Is it something

361
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: that I'm not making this out to be defensive coordinated,

362
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: but pressure it's minimal. It's just salt and pepper shaking

363
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: on the entree in my opinion, because it's just a

364
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: little bit here and there from Gus Bradley.

365
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Is more pressure raking to.

366
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: Come from a blitz that they say, Hey, cults are

367
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: doing things a little bit different. They blitzed five percent

368
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: over this course of four games. Oh, they blitz fifteen

369
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: percent over the course of this four game.

370
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: I think what will help that is getting Kenny Moore back,

371
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 3: so you are strengthened in the secondary a little bit.

372
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: You are able to you know, you're able to be

373
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: a little.

374
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: Bit stronger on the back end, because that's part of,

375
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: you know, the trade off with the blitz, right and

376
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: so I think that that is something you can do

377
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: with much more frequency and much more confidence when you

378
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: have that guy back in your own Yeah.

379
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: I mean, here's the thing, and your point about the

380
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: secondary is absolutely right. It's easy to sit here and say,

381
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 5: Chus Bradley should blitz Moore, it should blitz Moore. But

382
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: you've got to be able to trust the guys on

383
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: the back end then, and getting Kenny back, I think

384
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: is a big part of that. Where you can trust

385
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: Jalen Jones and you can trust probably Julian Blackman back there.

386
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: But I got a lot of young guys, guys who

387
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: are coming in and out of the lineup, you know,

388
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 5: maybe haven't had that, who haven't earned it yet, who

389
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: still can earn it. Absolutely, But just in terms of

390
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 5: that trust, like, you can't just you can't send the

391
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 5: house right if you don't have anyone to protect it

392
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 5: on the back end.

393
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: And when did we see the Colts blitz the most

394
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: last season?

395
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: It was against the Baltimore Ravens.

396
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: But you had Jiuji Brents, you had Kenny Moore in

397
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: those type of situations, so that a lot of people

398
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: are like, oh, go back to that, you know, go

399
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: back to that playbook, go back to that game. Plan

400
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: that was so successful in defeating Lamar Jackson and the

401
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens early last season. Well, what you had to

402
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: think about is the personnel is a little bit different,

403
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: just based on the injury issues that you've incuraged.

404
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: Now, I will say when the Colts have blitzed, they've

405
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 5: had been a success. The Colts are ninth in pressure

406
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 5: rate when blitzing this year, so they've generated a pressure

407
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 5: on forty eight point pretty six percent of their blitzes.

408
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: They have the sixth highest sack rate on blitzes. They're

409
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: turning a blitz to a sack at fourteen point three percent.

410
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 5: But it's not you can't you can't extrapolate these out

411
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: to Leshia double the number of blitz is they're sending

412
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 5: per game in these numbers will stay?

413
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Aren't those sets on Shane Steichen's desk and Brgus Bradley's

414
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: desk that you know I'm not back there.

415
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: So bring them up?

416
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

417
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 5: I wanted to bring them up because they there's a

418
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: little bit of context that you have to get with them.

419
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 5: Blitzes are situational. You can send a blitz with this

420
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: down in distance, but you can't send it with this

421
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 5: down in distance. They're based on personnel. Do you have

422
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 5: Kenny Moore the second on the field where you feel

423
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 5: comfortable sending a blitz? Kenny, by the way, good blitzer.

424
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 5: You take him off the field, and that's a bit more,

425
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 5: a bit more of a challenge to disguise where your

426
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 5: blitz is coming from. So it's based on down a distance,

427
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: it's based on personnel. This isn't me saying, oh, if

428
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 5: you just turn that dial up from being twenty eighth

429
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: and blitz right to eighteenth and blitz right, all these

430
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 5: numbers will stay the same. It's more can you target

431
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: when you're blitzing? And maybe just if it gets cranked

432
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: up just a little bit, kind of like Shane was

433
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: sort of alluding to. It doesn't need to be this.

434
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 5: You don't need Gus to turn into Wink Martindale. You

435
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 5: just maybe just a little bit more situationally sending these

436
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: pressures and getting Kenny back hopefully would help with that

437
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: as well.

438
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: What are you guys thinking on the offensive side with

439
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: JT not being in there, Anthony not being in there,

440
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: what they mean to this offense when they're both in

441
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: the game, and the pressure that they could put on

442
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: a defense as opposed to just Anthony and the game

443
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: Trey Sermon behind him or vice versa, Joe Flacco.

444
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: With Jonathan Taylor behind him?

445
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: Is this offense at his highest peak only with those

446
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: two guys in the offenses? I guess what I'm trying

447
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: to If he's behind them, we're not going to get

448
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: any better than that. The way that this offense is

449
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: set up.

450
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 5: Well, I think you have to be able to find

451
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 5: a solution even if you're not gonna have Anthony and

452
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 5: JT out there, like you need to be able to

453
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 5: find something. Obviously that is your best offense is with

454
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: Anthony and JT out there because what they are able

455
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: to do in the run game, generating explosives on the

456
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: ground and through the air. Those two guys are the

457
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 5: engine of this culta offense. But Lara, if they're not

458
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 5: out there, which you know, it's tough to count on

459
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 5: guys to play seventeen games all the time, you need

460
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: to find a solution in terms of just keeping the

461
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 5: run game going. Tavia Goodson ran the ball.

462
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: He ran pretty well, really well, but you as a

463
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: team only had ninety nine yards rushing and twenty two

464
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: of those were from Joe Flacco.

465
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: So that's just you know, something to keep in mind. Yes,

466
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: I mean it was.

467
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 6: He hit eighteen miles an hour on that round, but it.

468
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: Was eighteen point seven six like.

469
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: Okay, so like real real quick. I just this is

470
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 5: quick aside, how fast can you go on a treadmill?

471
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: Uh, I can crank it up to fifteen and hold

472
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: it for a while, Like I mean, I can't do

473
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: fifteen for a mile, but I can hold it for

474
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: probably a minute.

475
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: Like I mean, so, I don't know.

476
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: Most the treadmills I'm on kind of top out there

477
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: around fifteen. Nothing I'm breaking the belt or anything. But yeah,

478
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: I mean eighteen isly.

479
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 5: You hop, you hop on the curve treadmill. That's just

480
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: based on your your speed. Like hitting eighteen miles an hour,

481
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 5: could you in past?

482
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

483
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: At nine that was the longest shot.

484
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 3: That was his longest rush since the twenty seventeen season.

485
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: Actually joked with Shane yesterday and asked if Joe Flacco

486
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: was aging in reverse on us.

487
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: I think he is a little bit.

488
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 6: I think so, and like Benny, but yeah.

489
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: Right, he called him to We've heard Joe referred to

490
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: as Joe cool. Shane also called him Jersey Joe, which

491
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: I had not heard Jersey Joe. Somehow missed that one,

492
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: but like, I think he's he's Joey Jets Like, I mean,

493
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: it's eighteen point seven six killo. But yeah, here, I

494
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 3: do think that you will get better rushing performances as

495
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 3: you move forward.

496
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: Man, I mean, just you know what you're.

497
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: Gonna get from that Jacksonville front, Like they just they

498
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: just tend to feast. And I mean this offensive line

499
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: played well. That's the other thing is that the run game,

500
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: you know, and maybe some of your struggles there against

501
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: Jacksonville should not be on your offensive line. But yeah,

502
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: you've got to find ways in situations that maybe you

503
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: don't have one or the other. I don't think there

504
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: are going to knock on anything. I don't think there's

505
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of situations that you don't have

506
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: five and twenty eight. I think that if you have

507
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: one or the other, then that allows you to do

508
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: a lot more. This was kind of the greatest test

509
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: of not having those big run threat weapons. I would

510
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: have loved, love to have just seen what this offense

511
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: was like with Flacco and with JT out there at

512
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: least in support as your primary run threat. It's going

513
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: to be interesting too because that high ankle sprain is

514
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: something that does tend to linger. It's something you do

515
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 3: not want to rush back from. So I do think

516
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: that if Jonathan misses another week but Anthony returns, I

517
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: think you're going to see some strides and some development

518
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 3: within that run game from what you saw.

519
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Can we do the gut check what you guys are thinking?

520
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: Just gut That's all I'm saying. This is we are

521
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: not talking about. This has nothing to do with who's

522
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: going to practice or anything. But you guys cover this team.

523
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: Gut check time.

524
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: Who comes back this week?

525
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 6: My gut is that Anthony would be back.

526
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: Before you're saying, of all the guys.

527
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: Of all the guys to get this team back to

528
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: where we are, I mean.

529
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 3: I would say Ryan, Kelly Quitty, pay Kenny Moore, and

530
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. I think that Jonathan is probably the one

531
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: that I think takes a little bit longer because of

532
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 3: the ankle and just the fact that you don't want

533
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: to rush him back play a game, aggravate it, miss

534
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: more games like it's something that Okay, you miss weeks

535
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: five and six and you're good to go for the

536
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: rest of the season.

537
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 4: Because JT has had some ankle issues.

538
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: In the past, obviously, this is one where I don't

539
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: think you want to play around.

540
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you got to make sure that he's

541
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 5: he's back to one hundred percent or as close to

542
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 5: it as possible before you get him back out there.

543
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 5: Because this stretch right now of games where the Colts

544
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 5: have a struggling Titans team, a struggling Dolphins team, you

545
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 5: can't assume you're gonna win these games. The Jaguars were struggling.

546
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: Colts lost that game. But I'm looking at Week eight

547
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: on and you've got you've got like the some of

548
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 5: the best teams in the NFL at Houston at Minnesota

549
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 5: home to Buffalo, at the New York Jets, who just

550
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 5: fired Robert sala right before we started. How about that

551
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 5: cootting here, and then you got the Detroit lines coming

552
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: in that stretch, that stretch right there, like, you got

553
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 5: to be tuned up. You gotta be ready to go

554
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 5: for that stretch because that could be a season defining stretch.

555
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: Health. Health is everything coming up.

556
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: Lara had a chance to catch up with CBS Sideline

557
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: Report and we're gonna give you that right there. Addi

558
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: Kinhabwala is gonna be her third straight Colts game that

559
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: she's gonna be doing network coverage from. But Lara, I

560
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: wanted to pinpoint some players individually, maybe give some Pro

561
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: Bowl nods too. I know it's early in the year,

562
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: but players that are playing a well above and beyond.

563
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: If I might start a little bit, you know, Q

564
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: has been all over it's just a regular Quentin Nelson

565
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: sort of year. Everyone's talking about him, everyone's showing his

566
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: highlights and everything.

567
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: You gotta start with the guy that is, you know.

568
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: Putting it up and laying it down week in and

569
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: week out, Big Q at number fifty six.

570
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's it. That's an easy one for me.

571
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: And I think that we so frequently take his play

572
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: for granted because we have seen it for so long

573
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: with such consistency. He sets that standard, right, And Yeah,

574
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: I think that that's kind of an easy of any

575
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: of them, That's the one you don't have to make

576
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: the argument for.

577
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 4: Like the I think the argument.

578
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: Is who else other than this guy are you trying

579
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: to put in? There would be my argument to that.

580
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: So I think he's kind of a runaway at this point,

581
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 3: with the level at which he's been playing, in the

582
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: fact he's just now regarded as one of the best

583
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

584
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's got the highest Pro Football Focus Offense

585
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 5: grade among AFC tackles. Bernard Ryman, Wow, playing well. I'll

586
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 5: start talking about that one, Huh. I love that Bernie

587
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: Burney's playing great. He's playing football just across the board.

588
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 5: And I just I kind of just casually looked at this.

589
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, among like starting tackles, where

590
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 5: does he rank? And Okay, Trent Williams NFC, Christian and

591
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 5: darrisaw NFC, Charles Cross NFC, Tristan Wurfs you guessed it, NFC,

592
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 5: Paris Johnson NFC, Brian O'Neil NFC. Then there's Bernie in there.

593
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: And Bernie he's having a really good year. Something that

594
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 5: Tony Sprono Junior I had a conversation with him during

595
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 5: training camp about Ryman that he said is he's so

596
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: scheme versatile that you can run different concepts in your

597
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 5: run game. Because of Bernard Ryman at left tackle. You

598
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 5: can you can run some gap stuff, you can run

599
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 5: some zone stuff, you can you know, get him on

600
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: the move. You can do so many different things because

601
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 5: he's so athletic and he's not just pigeonholed into like

602
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 5: well he's a left tackling He's got to play in

603
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 5: this scheme or that scheme. That allows the Colts I think,

604
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: a lot more flexibility in what they're able to do

605
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 5: week to week to game plan for certain opponents. He

606
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: he's fantastic, a guy who absolutely I think could be

607
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: in a Pro Bowl conversation.

608
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: We're not talking about him, that's all.

609
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: That's how you know you know he's fantastic because we're

610
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: just not saying another great game for Bryan.

611
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: That's unfortunate for usually what goes along.

612
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: With the job of being an offensive lineman, right like,

613
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: you don't get talked about when you're good. Like that's

614
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: just that's what goes along with that territory so often.

615
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: The thing that sucks too, to go back to Fries

616
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: is he would have been my pick.

617
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, like I think you could.

618
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 3: You and I had this conversation about contract year for

619
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: him and all of that value placed upon him.

620
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 5: There would have been like a real world here where

621
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: you have Quentin Nelson and Will Fries both in the

622
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 5: Pro Bowl. The way that the way that both those

623
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 5: guys are playing.

624
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, that would have been great. I had to

625
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: put that to stop for a minute.

626
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 2: When you said that Will Friest, I'm like, why did

627
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: they call him sput I haven't heard, oh the Fries party.

628
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: Hey, it's early. Just bear with me on this.

629
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 2: Can I throw one out there, Nick Cross? Can I

630
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: throw one out there? Nick Cross?

631
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Playing well playing?

632
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, leading the league in tackles at one

633
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: point off until him and EJ were up there a

634
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: big inner.

635
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: Safety is a tough position.

636
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 6: In my mind, that's positions.

637
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: That's I think it's it's you look the position group

638
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 3: and that's.

639
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: A tough one.

640
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 5: Having said that, like safety is always going to get

641
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 5: it based on turnovers, Yeah, tackles doesn't. Tackles are not

642
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 5: going to get you into the Pro Bowl. But Nick

643
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 5: Cross is a pick, He's got a forced fumble. Keep

644
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: making plays on the ball and maybe, you know, we

645
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: get to week twelve and he's got a real shot

646
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: at it.

647
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see who else you got Pro Bowl possibilities

648
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: early on in the year, guys.

649
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna just like I'm gonna say, just brief mention,

650
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 3: Zire Franklin deserves to be in that conversation has exactly

651
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: has deserved to be in it. So like what like

652
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: desire obviously done. End of conversation, you need to make

653
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 3: no argument. He's Zire Franklin. He has done what he

654
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: has done at that level with such consistency year on year. Yes,

655
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: he should be in there, and I think by the

656
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: end of the season he will. The other one, JJ,

657
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: you and I have had some fun banter about young

658
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: Alec Piers and what teen catches thirteen catches and and

659
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: he has the best average of receptions among the entire lead.

660
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: He is averaging twenty eight point three yards per reception

661
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: with three touchdowns on the year. JJ, I am not

662
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: going to steal your thunder because this stat that you

663
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 3: served up to me on Sunday night says everything.

664
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 5: It's really telling to have multiple games where you have

665
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 5: one hundred or more yards on three or fewer receptions.

666
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 5: I looked up this list. It's on Colts dot Com

667
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: in by five Colts things. But over the last twenty

668
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: five years, Alec Pierce is the eighth player to have

669
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: at least three games where he's had one hundred more

670
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: yards on three or fewer receptions on that list, Deshaun Jackson,

671
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: Mike Wallace, Deverie Henderson, Greg Jennings, Gabe Davis, Marquez Valdez Scantling,

672
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: aj Green. That is a who's who of your best

673
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 5: downfield threats in the NFL. I love that and Alec

674
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 5: Pierre like, so this is legit here. Alec Pierce, by

675
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: the way, at twenty eight point three. He entered this week,

676
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: I think at twenty four point three, and it went up.

677
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: He is, and he did all of that in the

678
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: fourth quarter.

679
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 6: He did all of it in like five minutes in

680
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. He is.

681
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: The other thing is the three games that he's been

682
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: above one hundred right on the stet that you just

683
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: gave all three different quarterbacks, Anthon Richard and Joe Flaclarks,

684
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: those three different quarterbacks that he's been on the receiving

685
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: end of.

686
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: Alec Pierce is at twenty eight point three yards per catch.

687
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 5: Jamison Williams is second in the NFL at twenty two

688
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: point two. In the AFC alone, Alec Pierce is at

689
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 5: twenty eight point three. The next tigest is Brian Thomas

690
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 5: at eighteen point up.

691
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: Went up last week too.

692
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I sure did the thing. The competition that he's

693
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 5: going to run into as the season goes on, like

694
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: Nico Collins and Jamar Chase. I hope Collins has heard,

695
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: but those two guys are like, you can almost lock

696
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 5: him into the Pro Bowl right now, unless Collins is

697
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: out for a while with the hamstring injury. You look,

698
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior is having a really good year. He

699
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 5: is a legit number one wide receiver. It looks like

700
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: for the Jaguars, Stefan Diggs is still in this conversation.

701
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: In terms of yards, He's fifth. Alec Pierce is fourth

702
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 5: in yards by the way in the AFC, so like

703
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 5: even though he was thirteen catches, he's right up there.

704
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: But you're looking at Diggs, George Pickens, Garrett Wilson, Tyreek Hill.

705
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: You know you're gonna have some of these guys get

706
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 5: into this conversation. But it could be that there's a

707
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 5: world here, I mean, especially if DeVante Adams doesn't play

708
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 5: or he gets traded to the NFC, Like there's a

709
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: world here where we're we get to December and it's

710
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 5: like Hawk Pierce's top five in yards and maybe he's

711
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 5: top forty in receptions. But he's got to be in

712
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 5: that conversation.

713
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: And this is we're really getting into some some gritty

714
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: stats here. But when you think about not even his

715
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: his touch I mean, his touchdowns have been awesome, right,

716
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: but like the play where he tips it to himself,

717
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: the unbelievable, Well, you think about too. And I joked

718
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 3: about this on the radio broadcast, like, hey, that's very

719
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: much like a volleyball type of play. Like he his mom,

720
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 3: you know, an outstanding volleyball player, all of that they

721
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: share that in their background. His success on contested catches.

722
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: Think about this. Alec Pierce has the highest touch point

723
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: in the league when you take his six foot three

724
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: inch height plus a forty one inch vertical.

725
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 6: That's amazing.

726
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: He's got some hops you can probably he could probably drive.

727
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: He's the guy that grabs a dime off at the

728
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: top of the backboard, not only you know what I mean,

729
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: like that sort of hops. Yeah, yeah, that's it, and

730
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: that is volleyball. That's a good pull right there. Let

731
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: me throw one another name because we do have Addi

732
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: Kinhabwala coming up with Lara Overton.

733
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: One more name, Rigoberto O.

734
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: Good call.

735
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Rigaberto, right, I mean playing.

736
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 6: Put him put him absolutely in that conversation.

737
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: Top three in the AFC when it comes like that,

738
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: and positionally speaking, he's been spot on right there.

739
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: So that's another guy.

740
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna just pull up the punting punting average here,

741
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 5: so Rego is thirteenth the net punting average that went

742
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 5: way down with the Devin Duvernet return against Jacksonville. But

743
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 5: he has fourteen punts inside the twenty that's tied for

744
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: the best in the NFL.

745
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 6: Okay, so you know that's pretty good.

746
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 5: He's when when the ball leaves his foot, good things

747
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: are generally happening, except for that one play against.

748
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Jackson Absolutely all right. I don't know if that was

749
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: here we go.

750
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: You want information on the Colts obviously Colts dot com,

751
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: but followed these two on the Twitter xx at Larah

752
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: Overton at JJ stank Of. It's time now Lara had

753
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: a chance to sit down. For the third week in

754
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: a row. She will be doing the sidelines for the

755
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 2: Colts games on CBS. This is Addi ken Hobwala talking

756
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: about this Colts team that she knows pretty darn well.

757
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 3: A pleasure to be joined by the woman I have

758
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: shared now many sidelines with and excited to share it

759
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: yet again this Sunday Adini Kinkowalla with CBS. Okay, I

760
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: know how crazy this stretches for the Colts because they're

761
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: playing four out of five games on the road.

762
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 7: They have these back to Activision games. As you go into.

763
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: Nashville, what's the schedule for you, like over the course

764
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: of the week, because every week is essentially a road

765
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: week for you every single week.

766
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 8: You're trying to Oh, yes it is, but you know what,

767
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 8: it makes the time before you get on the road

768
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 8: a little bit easier if you have some familiarity with

769
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 8: the team. Now I don't know. I mean, Colts fans

770
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 8: may be why are we getting the same CBS crew

771
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 8: three weeks in a row. I don't know. Hopefully they

772
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 8: love our broadcast. I can't speak to that, but it

773
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 8: does at least make Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday a little less

774
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 8: onerous because you're not studying a team completely brand new.

775
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 8: You're just sort of building off of what you've seen

776
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 8: and you feel a little more comfortable. But in general,

777
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 8: we fly based on where we're going on a Thursday

778
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 8: night or a Friday morning. For me, where were we

779
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 8: Two weeks ago, we came to Indianapolis. I had to

780
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 8: fly on Thursday night because there's not a direct flight

781
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 8: from Pittsburgh to Indy Friday morning. And then Jacksonville. Yeah,

782
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 8: I mean crazy, and it's a six hour drive, which

783
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 8: is a little too long. And then last week Jacksonville,

784
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 8: I again had to fly on a Thursday night because

785
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 8: there's not a direct flight. And then next week Nashville,

786
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 8: I will again fly on Thursday night because the Friday

787
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 8: morning flight is like at six am and that's a

788
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 8: little too early, so fly in Thursday night. Friday morning,

789
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 8: we go to the team's facility, the whole home team's facility.

790
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 8: Two weeks ago that was in Indye and then last

791
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 8: week was in Jacksonville. This week will be with the Titans,

792
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 8: go to their home facility, watch practice, get a sense

793
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 8: of the team, a feel for the home team. Then

794
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 8: we have our production meetings, which are with any variety

795
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 8: of coordinators, head coach, players, and then Friday night, we

796
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 8: usually enjoy the city that we were in, get a

797
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 8: good meal, hang out. Saturday is when we meet with

798
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 8: the visiting team, which this week will again be the Colts,

799
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 8: and we have our production meeting where we kind of

800
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 8: sort through what the things we've learned are, what we

801
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 8: feel our biggest stories are, what we'd like to build

802
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 8: off of, what we're paying attention to. We go through

803
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 8: our video elements, our graphics kind of try to prepare

804
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 8: for any and all eventuality, which was key two weeks

805
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 8: ago when we were expecting Anthony Richardson and Shoe Flack,

806
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 8: all of a sudden stepped in. John told us that

807
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 8: his wife was at the game, and she actually went

808
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 8: to the concession stand when he went in to buy

809
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 8: the kids sodas, and when she came back, she looked

810
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 8: at I guess their oldest son was like, is this

811
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 8: a trick play? Why is dad in the game? So, yeah,

812
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 8: I know, but for us that at least, I mean,

813
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 8: I've known Joe Flacco for fifteen years now. I covered

814
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 8: him when he was in Baltimore, so that works out

815
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 8: really well for us. But then last week it was

816
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 8: funny because Spiro, our play by play guy, was asking

817
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 8: Shane Steich in, Okay, just in case, what can you

818
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 8: tell us about Sam Ellinger? Oh? Yeah, you have at least.

819
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 9: Like something because you never yeah and so and then

820
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 9: in the week, you know, so then I come home

821
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 9: late on Sunday night, if it's not a West Coast game.

822
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 8: Monday, quite frankly, is just a total catch up day.

823
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 8: I have two kids, where putting the house back in order,

824
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 8: doing laundry, getting all caught up and all of that stuff,

825
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 8: and start reading about the teams. And Tuesday we have

826
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 8: our first crew meeting where we kind of go through

827
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 8: our early storylines for both teams, sort out who we

828
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 8: want to talk to, who I want to talk to separately,

829
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 8: what we're looking for, what we're researching, what we're preparing

830
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 8: for before we actually get to Nashville. I don't want

831
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 8: to get to that.

832
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 7: No, that's great, I want to get back to that

833
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 7: really quickly.

834
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 3: But the question I want to circle back to is

835
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: when you're in Indie and you guys get time to

836
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 3: enjoy the city on like a Friday, where are you going?

837
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: Where are some of your favorite spots? Because you've been

838
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: here for the combine too, you've had plenty.

839
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 8: Of time, you know. I can't even remember where we

840
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 8: went to go eat in Indy. It was really good.

841
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 8: It was a seafood place. We had to take an uber.

842
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 8: It was like on this really cool road that had

843
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 8: a lot of restaurants. It was like a cobblestone road.

844
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 8: I look it up. I can figure out.

845
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 7: Did you go all the way out to Carmel for dinner?

846
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 8: Like, no, I don't think that far.

847
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 4: Or were we on Mass?

848
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 8: Where did we? This is can you like edit this

849
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 8: and it takes me that long? This is like a

850
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 8: real time Where did we go for dinner in Indy?

851
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 8: I'll find out and then afterwards, So Spiro and arch

852
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 8: my play by play guy spirodidas my analyst Adam Archiletta,

853
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 8: and my producer Jason Ross all our major cigar guys.

854
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 8: So Friday nights after dinner and we go with our

855
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 8: assistant director, our ba's, our director. Everybody goes to dinner,

856
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 8: but then afterwards we break off the four of us

857
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 8: and go to a cigar bar. So in Indy we

858
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 8: went to Nicky Blainez and kind of just hang out.

859
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: So I think that's so important because we always talk

860
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: about like the team chemistry within a rosters, but it's

861
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: really important within a broadcast as well.

862
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 7: And your work.

863
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 8: Wait, hold on salt on Mass. We went to Salt

864
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 8: on Mass in Indy.

865
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I'm singing mass as so perfect, Yes, salts amazing.

866
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, chemistry is well exactly. See that's my crew. This

867
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 8: is our crew Group two. So at least you can

868
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 8: count on each other. That's the That's the magic though,

869
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 8: and you know this because you do it as well.

870
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 8: When you have good chemistry with your booth partners, with

871
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 8: your producer, then that's when everything works well. Right, When

872
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 8: you know, when I know what Arch is passionate about,

873
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 8: then that informs my reporting. When they trust me enough

874
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 8: to tell them I'm seeing something on the sideline that's significant,

875
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 8: you know, it's these are all things that play in

876
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 8: and a lot of that time, quite frankly, is the

877
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 8: time that we spend or a lot of that trust

878
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 8: is built off the field or off the outside of

879
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 8: the booth, or however you want to phrase it. And

880
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 8: those Friday night sessions is when we you know, we

881
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 8: talk about anything and everything, our kids, our lives, where

882
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 8: we live, home, construction, health, you know, whatever whatever there is.

883
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 7: So you run the gamut of topics.

884
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know exactly.

885
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 3: And your relationship with Joe, the many seasons of which

886
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 3: you have covered him, was very well illustrated in that

887
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: postgame interview. You had some fun with him he got

888
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: the win against the Steelers. You joked around with him

889
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: about Anthony thinking that he's cool, and Joe had this

890
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 3: incredible response that we.

891
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 7: Have all seen. But what are you seeing about Joe

892
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 7: in Indy that really makes all of this work?

893
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: Because I joked with Shane Steichen it was a very

894
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 3: vintage Joe Flaco like performance last week against Jacksonville. Unfortunately

895
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: didn't quite get the comeback it's secured, but gave you

896
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: every chance.

897
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: Yep.

898
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 8: I mean, come on, he came back from a two

899
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 8: touchdown hole with five minutes to go, brought them back

900
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 8: even if the defense had been able to hold the Jaguars.

901
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 8: Who knows what happens you go into overtime. And I've

902
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 8: seen Joe do this. I mean two years ago he

903
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 8: was with the Jets. He was in Cleveland Week two.

904
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 8: They were down thirteen with like three minutes to go,

905
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 8: and he brought the Jets back and they won that game.

906
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 8: I you know what, And I said this. I actually

907
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 8: tweeted this yesterday. We said it in our game on

908
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 8: Sunday and I tweeted it yesterday. It blows my mind

909
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 8: that the only team that called Joe Flacco to come

910
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 8: be their backup was the cults like that. I just

911
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 8: I don't get that. He had a tremendous run at

912
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 8: the end of the season with Cleveland last year. Joe

913
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 8: is a great teammate. He has seen anything and everything

914
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 8: that there is to see. He is absolutely willing to

915
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 8: help any young guy. But he's not overbearing in any way.

916
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 8: You know. We asked him this week too, have you

917
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 8: talked to Anthony Richardson at all about protecting his body

918
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 8: and the fine line? And he's like, you know what,

919
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 8: I don't want to push like that's a little too

920
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 8: fresh right now. He knows I'm here. When he wants

921
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 8: to that conversation, we can. And that's the magic of Joe,

922
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 8: right Like, Joe's a dad, He's got five kids. He

923
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 8: knows how to talk to people. He knows when is

924
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 8: the right time to step in when not to He's

925
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 8: he got great experience, he's a great teammate, and he's

926
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 8: soul level. There's a reason he was called Joe Cool

927
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 8: his whole career. There's also, right now, this really fun

928
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 8: piece to him, and that's that he really is enjoying

929
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 8: the moment. And he talked about this a lot in

930
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 8: Cleveland last year that he's recognizing, you know, he's not

931
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 8: thinking about hanging it up. He even told us he

932
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 8: wants to play as long as he possibly can. But

933
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 8: you know, at this point in your career, you don't

934
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 8: know how many chances you're going to get. You don't

935
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 8: know how many more starts you'll ever have, so when

936
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 8: you have them, you enjoy them. You don't know how

937
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 8: many times you'll be out there with the game on

938
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 8: the line and the ball in your hands, so you

939
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 8: soak it in. And I'll tell you two weeks ago,

940
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 8: we had Andy Dalton and he was getting a start

941
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 8: with the Panthers and he said that early in his

942
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 8: career he was constantly thinking about what's next. Okay, what

943
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 8: does this start mean for the next week, What does

944
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 8: this start mean for the playoffs? What does this start

945
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 8: mean for my contract? Does this start mean for next season?

946
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 8: And now you have no idea what tomorrow is, so

947
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 8: you just enjoy today that much more. And I think

948
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 8: that that's what we're saying with Joe, And it's like

949
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 8: in that postgame, you know, and it really is true.

950
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 8: I do need everybody to know I did actually say

951
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 8: to Anthony Richardson in the meeting. So, now that you've

952
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 8: actually met Joe Flacco, is he any different than you

953
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 8: thought from afar? And Anthony Richardson said, he's actually way

954
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 8: cooler than I thought he was. So when I said

955
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 8: that to Joe, I didn't make it up, like Anthony

956
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,439
Speaker 8: really did say that. And I mean, and that's Joe,

957
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 8: Like you could read the moment right there. I mean,

958
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 8: I started the interview in the most ridiculous way I think.

959
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,240
Speaker 8: I said, Joe Flacco, do you ever age?

960
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 3: Yes, I asked, I mean, you know, we saw him

961
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 3: scramble for twenty plus yards. He hit a top speed

962
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: of eighteen point seven six miles per hour last week.

963
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 3: So I joked with Shane, I said, are we experiencing

964
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco aging in reverse?

965
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 7: Like we're all thinking the exact same thing.

966
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: And you know, I think that Anthony, that reaction you

967
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: got from him, the response you got from him, is

968
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: so genuine because he even said when Joe came in

969
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: and he was like, like, it's Joe Flacco, man.

970
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 7: Like I was in elementary school. This guy was winning

971
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 7: super Bowls.

972
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm riding the.

973
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 7: Bus and he's taking Baltimore into a championship. You know,

974
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 7: like he had.

975
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: That's Anthony is very and I don't know that a

976
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 3: ton of people have gotten to see that side of

977
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: Anthony yet, but he is just very genuine and authentic

978
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 3: and candid, you know, in his responses and in his personality.

979
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: Like he was a little starstruck by Joe Flacco, which

980
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 3: I think is just really really cool.

981
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 8: And yeah, that's like the roller coaster of emotions that

982
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 8: Joe takes you through. Like, on the one hand, I

983
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 8: feel young again because like it takes me back ten

984
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 8: years when I was covering the AFC North and Joe

985
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 8: was doing this in Baltimore Farm. But then he sins

986
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 8: Herey tells us that Anthony's mom, Anthony Richardson's mom is

987
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 8: only eight days older than him, and it's like, oh

988
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 8: my god, so Anthony Richardson could be my kid. Is

989
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 8: that what you're talking about?

990
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 3: I know, you have a thirty nine year old quarterback

991
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 3: in a twenty to your old quarterback, and then Sam Ellinger, it's.

992
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 7: Like mid twenties right in the middle.

993
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: Right you talked about Tuesday is like the big you know,

994
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 3: to your prep day where you're diving in, you're looking

995
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: at storylines, thinking about who you're going to talk to

996
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: now that you have had two straight weeks of the Colts,

997
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: You've covered a win, you've covered a loss. Now this

998
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 3: is another division game.

999
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 7: What are the storylines that you're really honing in on

1000
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 7: for this Colts team going into Nashville.

1001
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 8: Well, the news obviously is the biggest piece. Are we

1002
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 8: seeing Anthony Richardson come back? Or do we have another

1003
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 8: game with Joe Flacco? So that's obviously and either way

1004
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 8: that's significant. And what I mean by that if that

1005
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 8: is that even if it's Shoe Flacco and Anthony isn't ready.

1006
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 8: And I hate, hate, hate this idea of tagging anybody

1007
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 8: as injury prone. I just I don't like that. I

1008
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 8: think it's unfair. Every injury happens in and of itself.

1009
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 8: But at the same time, it is a fact that

1010
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 8: Anthony Richardson has started eight games and only completed four

1011
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 8: of them and is entire NFL career, So what does

1012
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 8: that mean does Shane Steichen has been pretty unapologetic and

1013
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 8: saying we're not going to take away the best things

1014
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 8: that he does. But there's you know, it's funny because

1015
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 8: Arch and I were talking about this in the car

1016
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 8: actually on the way to practice last week. Anthony Richardson

1017
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 8: hasn't played a lot of high level football, so when

1018
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 8: you think about it, of course he played in middle

1019
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 8: school and in high school, but he was so better

1020
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 8: than anybody else on the field. It's not like he

1021
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 8: was taking hits. It's not like he had to learn

1022
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 8: how to slide or fall or when to throw the

1023
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 8: ball away to live to see another down. Because the

1024
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 8: guy was better than anybody. And then by the time

1025
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 8: he got to college, where athletes are better, he still

1026
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 8: only played a handful of games. What was it, thirteen?

1027
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 8: He played thirteen games in college, that's right, So that's

1028
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 8: not a huge sample size either. So now here he

1029
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 8: is in the NFL and it's only eight games, so

1030
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 8: it's not you know, I think the older you get,

1031
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 8: the more you learn. Well, can my body take what's

1032
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 8: the situation where I where I, you know, fight for

1033
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 8: that extra yard or I don't. This is where like

1034
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 8: the RPO says, do this, but you know what, I

1035
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 8: see something blowing up, do something else. That all comes

1036
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 8: with time and experience, and Anthony just doesn't have much

1037
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 8: of that yet. So my point in saying all of

1038
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 8: this is that I think to do the Colts fans

1039
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 8: a service. Whether Anthony plays or not, that's still a conversation,

1040
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 8: that's still a storyline in some way, because this is

1041
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 8: the future of your franchise. This is the guy that

1042
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 8: Michael Pittman openly told me thinks is going to play

1043
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 8: quarterback unlike anybody else has played the quarterback position. This

1044
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 8: is how much faith this organization has and who Anthony

1045
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 8: Richardson will be one day. So that's certainly one. And

1046
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 8: then two, like the defense, come on, what is going

1047
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 8: on with the defense? And you know, Gus Bradley said

1048
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 8: that what happened in Green Bay was embarrassing. It was

1049
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 8: a gut check, but in some ways brought the group

1050
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 8: together and they were significantly better for a period of

1051
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 8: time after that. And again I got that there's so

1052
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 8: many injuries up front on the back end, I understand that,

1053
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 8: but that's the National Football League right now.

1054
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 7: Give me a team that doesn't have injuries right now exactly.

1055
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 8: And so much of what players keep telling you is that, oh,

1056
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 8: the difference between you know, first team and second team

1057
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 8: isn't that large unless you're talking about the defensive player

1058
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 8: of the year. But in general, these guys are on

1059
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,959
Speaker 8: the fifty three man roster for a reason. And what's

1060
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 8: separating first team from second team or older guy from

1061
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 8: younger guys off an opportunity. So when you get your opportunity,

1062
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 8: you need to step in. And when you've got a

1063
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 8: guy like Kennymore, a guy like Julian Blackman that are

1064
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 8: doing everything to teach and bring along younger guys, I

1065
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 8: just it's too easy of an excuse to say, Okay,

1066
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 8: well they're injured on defense, there's something else that play here,

1067
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 8: and that obviously is you know, something you need to

1068
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 8: watch for. And you're facing a Titans team that's clearly struggling,

1069
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 8: and we also don't know is it going to be

1070
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 8: Will Levis or Mason Rudolph.

1071
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 7: Speaking of quarterback questions, they've got him on that side

1072
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 7: as well.

1073
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 3: It's interesting talk to Shane about his familiarity familiarity with

1074
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: the Titans defensive coordinator. They shared time in Philadelphia, so

1075
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: that's something to watch for in all of this. And

1076
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 3: talking about, you know, the quarterback conversation, I remember Anthony

1077
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 3: saying it was really eye opening the game he played

1078
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 3: at Houston last year when he got knocked out, like

1079
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: he eased up going into the end zone.

1080
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 7: He's somewhat you know, didn't respect enough.

1081
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 3: And those aren't his words, but you know how hard

1082
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 3: the safety was going to be coming in because again,

1083
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 3: to your point, not something that he had experienced a

1084
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 3: ton of. And he did say that that was eye

1085
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 3: opening and he realizes how much you have to respect

1086
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 3: the other guys. He you know, didn't have a clear

1087
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 3: path to the end zone in that and that was

1088
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 3: something he learned a lot from.

1089
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 7: Well there much faster, yeah, everything, He is.

1090
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 8: Flying at you much faster and hitting much harder than

1091
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 8: anybody you've ever faced in your life. So again it's

1092
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 8: those cumulative hits. Did you see that that miked up

1093
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 8: where CJ Stroud at the end of the game against

1094
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 8: the Bears was like trying to pull Caleb Williams and

1095
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 8: he was like, hey, hey, hey, like, don't take those hits.

1096
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 8: Don't take those hits. Like you're going to be great,

1097
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 8: You've got to watch your body. I'm paraphrasing here, but

1098
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 8: it's essentially CJ's been through it and.

1099
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 7: He's trying to get your guy. But he was in

1100
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 7: those shoes of Caleb Williams just one year ago. He

1101
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 7: has walked that path.

1102
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 3: I want to stay with the quarterback conversation just a

1103
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 3: little bit, because you talked about tagging.

1104
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 8: Someone as injury prone.

1105
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 3: Is it somewhat that Colts fans just have so much

1106
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:53,439
Speaker 3: fear because of the Andrew Luck PTSD that maybe they

1107
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: are this Colts fan base, this audience is maybe a

1108
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 3: little more quick to have a heightened level of concern

1109
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: than maybe another organization.

1110
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 7: Or if Anthony ran a different offense.

1111
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 3: Do we have to a little bit isolate Anthony from

1112
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 3: any of those things in the past past, and you

1113
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 3: have to say, this is a new era, this is

1114
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 3: a new quarterback, this is a new offensive system, a

1115
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 3: new head coach, and you have to leave all of

1116
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 3: that behind.

1117
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 8: I mean, of course, but we're talking about fans here,

1118
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 8: and like rational logic, reason like in my life, I

1119
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 8: have PTSD from certain places that I've been, and rationally

1120
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 8: logically we recognize, as fans are recognizing, this is different.

1121
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 8: This is not the same person. Anthony Richardson is a

1122
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 8: really really large man. He is a lot bigger than

1123
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 8: Andrew Luck was. It's a different style, it's a different

1124
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 8: game today, it's a different skill set.

1125
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 3: Even though Andrew had nobility, this is unlike anyone else.

1126
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 8: But of course, like when you have fear like that,

1127
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 8: when you have had your heartbroken as a fan, you

1128
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 8: obviously have some nervous about that. But again, the Colts

1129
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 8: aren't in any way. I'm not getting a sense you're

1130
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 8: much better at this. You would know you are in

1131
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 8: that building every single day. I don't get this sense

1132
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 8: that the Colts have lost any sort of patience or

1133
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 8: have any sort of frustration. My feeling is that the

1134
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 8: cults are looking at these is like isolated pieces of

1135
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 8: bad luck, and we on the outside it's easy to say, oh, well,

1136
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 8: they all happened on runs. Well, I'm sorry, but part

1137
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 8: of what makes Anthony Richardson so dynamic is his ability

1138
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 8: to actually move. You're not gonna take that away from him.

1139
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 7: And in twenty twenty.

1140
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 3: Four, what quarterback isn't a run threat? Like, you have

1141
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 3: very few pure pocket passers anymore. Those guys are aging

1142
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 3: out of the league at this point.

1143
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 8: We have all evolved and so but again, it's just

1144
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 8: being smarter. It's just getting more experience and learning all

1145
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 8: those things that we talk about. So I don't know

1146
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 8: what's your gut, Say, today's Tuesday, you think Anthony's playing Sunday.

1147
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 4: You know what, that was a.

1148
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 7: Part of a conversation that we had. I do think

1149
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 7: that he made significant strides last week.

1150
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 3: I think, barring any sort of setback, I would expect

1151
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 3: him to have a very strong chance to start on Sunday.

1152
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: I have a little less optimism with Jonathan Taylor just

1153
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 3: because high ankle sprains are so very tricky and something

1154
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 3: that you don't want to roll the dice on. But

1155
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 3: Wednesday will be very indicative, and that goes for both teams,

1156
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 3: you know, with what we're gonna see in what Brian Callahan,

1157
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 3: the Titans coach, said about Will Levis that you know

1158
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 3: on Monday he was hopeful that on Wednesday Levis would go.

1159
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 8: But I guess that's what we'll see where we're waiting

1160
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 8: to see. So here's a crazy fact. If it's Mason

1161
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 8: Rudolph versus Joe Flacco, those are two backups who ps

1162
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 8: started in the playoffs last year. Mason started a game

1163
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 8: for the Steelers in the playoffs and Joe started a

1164
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 8: game for the Browns in the playoffs. And to pay

1165
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 8: off experienced quarterbacks. Wow, that is.

1166
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 3: That's a deep dive, but that's what you get when

1167
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 3: you're diving into all of these storylines and having all

1168
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 3: these conversations. Right, who are you looking most forward to

1169
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 3: talking to when you make your request requests? I should

1170
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 3: say on Friday or Friday Saturday, we're talking to the Coolets.

1171
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: Well.

1172
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 8: I am hopeful that Shane Steiken will show us more

1173
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 8: of that world famous personality thanks to you. I was

1174
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 8: introduced to his wife and we were on the plane

1175
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 8: together actually to Atlanta from Stonville. We both had to

1176
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 8: go to Atlanta, and we were joking about that where

1177
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 8: she was saying that people always talk about him, her

1178
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 8: husband being so sort of like level, doesn't say much, doesn't.

1179
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 7: Praise us all are they talking about?

1180
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, So it's always you know, when you have someone

1181
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 10: that is pretty careful, pretty contained, you're always hoping that

1182
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 10: you can finally get a little something something.

1183
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 8: But I'm not holding high hopes for that. I don't

1184
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 8: you know, truthfully, We'll have to talk. We when it's

1185
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 8: a third week in a row that you're seeing someone,

1186
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 8: you obviously want to get new voices in there. You

1187
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 8: have to talk to the quarterback, whoever it is, whether

1188
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 8: it's Anthony or Joe. But I don't know who's someone

1189
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 8: you know, I got to talk to Michael Pittman. I'm

1190
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 8: excited to talk to Josh Downes. Actually, I would bet

1191
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 8: that if we as a group don't talk to Josh Downes,

1192
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 8: I'll ask to talk to Josh downs. I chatted with

1193
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 8: Trace Sermon last week. I thought that he was fun.

1194
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 8: Zaire is the best always. We talked to him week one.

1195
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 8: I don't know if we'll go back to him. We

1196
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 8: talked to Julian Blackman last week. He was great. I

1197
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 8: talked to Kenny Moore myself two weeks ago. He was

1198
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 8: really good. You know, it feels like it's a good

1199
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,919
Speaker 8: locker room. It's a great one. You would know better

1200
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 8: than me. But it just feels like we haven't had

1201
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 8: even going back to last year, I haven't had a

1202
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 8: dut of a conversation. Yeah, I really haven't. And I

1203
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 8: feel as if the players that we've spoken to definitely

1204
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 8: recognize that we have a job to do and are

1205
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 8: trying to be helpful. You know, sometimes you touch to

1206
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 8: players who don't want to be helpful, and being helpful

1207
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 8: is not being outrageous. It's not necessarily giving you know,

1208
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 8: a crazy SoundBite. It's just okay, these are people that

1209
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 8: are charged with telling the story of our team in

1210
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 8: this broadcast. So how can I offer information to inform

1211
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 8: them more, give them more background, to educate them on

1212
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 8: who we really are? And you know, it's funny I

1213
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 8: work with I work with some college athletes, and I

1214
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 8: always say that when you talk to the media, it's

1215
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 8: your chance to control your narrative. And so I feel

1216
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 8: as if the cults are pretty smart. At least the

1217
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 8: players that I've talked to are pretty smart that it

1218
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 8: actually behooves them to tell us their truth as they

1219
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 8: see it.

1220
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 3: It's great to hear you say that, because I do

1221
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 3: feel like we are spoiled. But I only get to

1222
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: spend you the majority of my time with this locker room.

1223
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 3: And it's not only I think a credit to Chris

1224
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 3: Ballard and Shaneesdeichen and how much they prioritize character and

1225
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 3: how they evaluate guys coming in. I also have to

1226
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 3: give a ton of credit because they don't get enough

1227
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 3: of it to our pr staff and our team for

1228
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 3: how they prepare players and what they do to you know,

1229
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 3: tell them, Hey, this is who you're going to be

1230
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 3: talk to. Add's great, She's some the CBS crew, you know,

1231
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 3: they'll always try to make them to put them in

1232
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 3: a situation that they're.

1233
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 7: Comfortable coming in as well.

1234
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 3: And I think that that's something too that helps our

1235
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 3: organization and helps our players immensely.

1236
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 8: It makes yes, And you do have an outstanding pr staff.

1237
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 8: And I'm not just saying that because I have to

1238
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 8: work with them again. They really aren't. You know, you

1239
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 8: can tell. You can tell when a team is not

1240
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 8: only actively helpful to the media, but really trying to

1241
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 8: help their players. And it's, as you're saying, you are

1242
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 8: preparing your players in the best way that you can.

1243
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, if you get a chance, grab Alec Pierce. I

1244
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 3: talked to him for our TV show this week. Alec

1245
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: is really fun.

1246
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 8: I'll shoot you some.

00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 3: Things on him and uh, yeah, he had some big,

1248
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 3: big catches huge and then and and Quentin. When you

1249
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 3: get Quentin Nelson, uh, in the right situation, he can

1250
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 3: be as insightful and uh and authentic as anybody.

1251
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 8: All Right, good to know, thank you for the tips.

1252
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 8: Of course, a lot about.

1253
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 3: Oh okay, who's actually Grover Stewart, And not that he's

1254
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 3: gonna give you a lot of information, but just the

1255
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 3: palpable joy of that man just makes everything in.

1256
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 8: This world better.

1257
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 7: Lay off if you haven't had the chance yet.

1258
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: I did. I met him.

1259
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 8: I met him at the combine about him in fact, yea, yeah,

1260
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 8: there you go. What a wonderful young man.

1261
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 3: Wonderful and it is, you know, this whole thing is

1262
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 3: coming at him fast and furious. And you know, I

1263
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 3: asked him a couple weeks ago, what keeps you grounded?

1264
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 3: And it said, he said, just being here, being around

1265
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 3: the guys. This is the only place I want to be.

1266
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 3: I want to be in the building, like he barely

1267
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 3: goes home because this is where he feels like.

1268
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 7: This is heim like being in the facility, being.

1269
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 8: Around the guys.

1270
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 3: And he, you know, is doing everything possible to contribute

1271
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 3: to this defense.

1272
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 7: I think he's taken a lot on but this guy

1273
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 7: gives Golden Retriever energy like crazy.

1274
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 8: He's another story too, of perspective. I mean, this is

1275
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 8: a young man who football was taken away from because

1276
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 8: of that neck injury. He was told that he was

1277
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 8: not medically clear, that he wasn't going to play. He

1278
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 8: was training to be a firefighter. He told me at

1279
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 8: the time. It was because of the camaraderie that firefighters

1280
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 8: rely on. Each other the way that football players do.

1281
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 8: I mean, he thought his football career was over and

1282
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 8: now here he is bonus. You know. That's he brings

1283
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 8: all the to it.

1284
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 3: And the vocational school or the technical school that Anthony

1285
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 3: Richardson was going to in Gainesville for a period of time,

1286
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 3: he was going to be a firefighter. That was actually

1287
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 3: his path through if he didn't if he didn't go

1288
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: to the University of Florida and didn't pursue a football career.

1289
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,439
Speaker 3: That's something that has been documented about his story too.

1290
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 3: So it's kind of well, yeah, Speed EJ. Speed is fantastic.

1291
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 3: He will get you want Okay, I did.

1292
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 8: That too, So I get to use this and I

1293
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 8: may use it in the game. So then I probably

1294
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 8: shouldn't tell you just in case the game. All right,

1295
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 8: let's let's do another episode later in the era, and

1296
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 8: if I don't tell the story, then I'll tell it

1297
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 8: to you them.

1298
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 7: We just have to get you back on another show.

1299
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly.

1300
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Dandie, thank you so much for the time.

1301
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 3: Can't wait to see you in National Safe Travels.

1302
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 8: All right, so much fun always anytime, Please call again, Lara.

1303
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Great stuff with Adity and obviously when you.

1304
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Brought up earlier in the show that that interview that

1305
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 2: went around the world, the viral with Joe Flacco. I

1306
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: did love that because he just had, you know, just

1307
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 2: sitting there with a crown, He's got sweat on his forehead.

1308
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 2: He just won a football game, and he's like, yeah,

1309
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 2: he doesn't think I'm cool at all. It was kind

1310
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 2: of funny little I did love it. But anyway, good,

1311
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 2: good catch up with her. She let's maybe she'll be

1312
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 2: on the fourth one against the Dolphins. Who knows if

1313
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: that's a CB one CBS show rather now Tennessee awaits.

1314
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Here's my first thing when I think of.

1315
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 2: This, well two things actually, Uh the head coach saying

1316
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: to the starting quarterback, what in the flip are you doing?

1317
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan to uh, Wills will Levis. Okay.

1318
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: The reason I'm bringing that up is I just don't

1319
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: know other coaches where that would fit. Is what I'm

1320
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 2: trying to say, What in the blank are you doing?

1321
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Okay?

1322
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 4: Okay, that's one Sean Payton bonext in Denver.

1323
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 6: That's why, Yeah, I have a take about this. I

1324
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 6: don't care you don't.

1325
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 5: I don't care like whether you're thinking it or you're

1326
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 5: saying it like the the harshest criticism is going to

1327
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 5: come on Monday during a film review.

1328
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Not on uh on the game?

1329
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 6: Well what are you doing? Like yeah, that whatever?

1330
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 5: Like I also like I just never read into like

1331
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 5: sideline spats, Like there's the whole thing of like people

1332
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 5: trying to read Ceede Lamb's lips right and thinking he

1333
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 5: said that was a subpar throat at that present?

1334
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Who cares? Yeah.

1335
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 4: I also, I mean I get this sense.

1336
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 3: I don't know Will Levis at all, but I would

1337
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 3: imagine as a lot of quarterbacks are, like, you want

1338
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: to be coached hard like you you want a coach

1339
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: who's direct and tells you exactly what he's thinking.

1340
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 4: You know, when you are trying to put your.

1341
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,959
Speaker 3: Team in positions to win games, you need that type

1342
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 3: of reinforcement. So I think that maybe that type maybe

1343
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 3: people see this brutal honesty, but just straight up honesty.

1344
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit necessary for young quarterbacks.

1345
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 6: Especially with the Yeah, especially with the young court.

1346
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out if Will Levis has it. Obviously

1347
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 2: there's rumors that you know, Colts were thinking about taking

1348
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 2: him a few years back, and we watched him at

1349
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft sit there for a long time, and

1350
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 2: his Mayonnaise endorsements and everything. But the biggest thing that

1351
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 2: is not it's not the Honky Tonks. When I think

1352
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 2: of Nashville going down there to play the Tennessee Titans.

1353
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: This is going to be a.

1354
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: First time in forever that the Colts have not faced

1355
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 2: King Henry in a backfield for the Tennessee Titans, which

1356
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 2: is always the first thing we would lead off with.

1357
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 2: For the last eight years, it seems like, is how

1358
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 2: are we going to stop Dereck Henry right now? But

1359
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: rally to the ball Tony Pollard back there and stuff.

1360
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: But anyway, quick thoughts on a the city are not this.

1361
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the city in Nashville a little bit

1362
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 2: because I want to find out what you two are

1363
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 2: going to get into. But b what goes on with

1364
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 2: this Tennessee Titans the way they're fitting right now ran Carthon.

1365
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 2: Obviously a lot of big offseason moves, bringing in some

1366
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: big names and whatnot.

1367
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: New coach included the quarterback. What do we think?

1368
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 4: I think this is very much a coaching chess match.

1369
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 3: Because they talked to Shane Sdike in on Monday about

1370
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 3: his familiarity with the Tennessee new defensive coordinator.

1371
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 4: They have a rapport going back to their days in Philadelphia.

1372
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to see that schematic chess match between

1373
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 3: those two. And I do think that like that first

1374
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: quarter is probably a little bit of a feeling out

1375
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: period on exactly what they're going to try to bring.

1376
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 3: And they probably have some questions too, because what I

1377
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 3: like is that they are preparing for Well, it could

1378
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 3: be Anthony Richardson, it could be Joe Flacco.

1379
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 4: It could be Anthony with JT. It could be Anthony

1380
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 4: without JT. It could be Flacco with JD.

1381
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 3: Like I so, although the injuries have not been kind

1382
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,479
Speaker 3: to the Colts in this situation, it is a little

1383
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 3: bit interesting that the defense is going to have to

1384
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 3: account for a lot of different variables.

1385
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a really good Titans defense. Like they're

1386
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 5: playing really good football. And I know, like they faced

1387
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams in his NFL debut, they faced a Miami

1388
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 5: Dolphins offense. It looks kind of broken. There's some contexts there.

1389
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 5: They're third in the NFL in yards per play, They're

1390

Speaker 6: Yeah, because it's easy to see.

1398
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 5: It's easy to see when you highlight them and it's like, well, well,

1399
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 5: this is a really good defense. I mean, I haven't

1400
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 5: watched a ton of them, but Okay, Denard Wilson's got

Speaker 2: Landry, I mean, Jeffrey Simmons, I mean, this is a

1404
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 2: little nerve wracking when you think about this Tennessee defense.

1405
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: All right, can we switch the gears? Obviously we want

1406
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,200

1407
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:22,360
