We're gonna talk about on this show 34 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: tonight the training camp that's coming up a little over 35 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: a month from now. It is right around the corner. 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna break down some burning questions along the offensive 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: line tonight as well. Danny Pinter, Danny Pinter, the local 38 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: young man. He's gonna be uh, he's gonna be joining 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: us later on in the show to find out what 40 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna bring to that every day pass. And that's right, 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: the starting right guard, Danny Pinter out of ball State. 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out more about him, what his plans 43 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: are for the summer, and what he expects out of 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: himself and this team come training camp. But first we 45 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: got to start on a down note. Mate, one of 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: the most popular Colts ever. And I know it was 47 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: a few years ago that he played here, but Tony Saragosa, 48 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: the Goose is dead at the age of fifty five. 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: He passed away earlier in the week on Wednesday. We 50 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: knew what he meant to the Colts locker room. We 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: knew what he meant to this Colts organization inside the 52 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: front office and out. Simply put, Jim Urse loved him, 53 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: Colts owner and talked about that his love for Tony 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Saragosa on Twitter and he says, I'm heartbroking, as is 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: all of Colts Nation. The Goose squeezed two hundred fun 56 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: loving years into fifty five. He was one of the 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: most physically strong players I have ever seen in fifty 58 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: years of professional football. Mate, tell me what you remember 59 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: about the Goose Tony Saragosa. Yeah, I unfortunately ever got 60 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: the chance to meet him or cover him, but he 61 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: was part of that team for me and my childhood. 62 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: That captivated, you know, the city of Indianapolis in nineteen 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: ninety five. That Colts team kind of helped turn the 64 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: franchise into what it is today in terms of popularity 65 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: in the city and the state. And he was just 66 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: a big time character on that team that unexpectedly went 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game. He knocked off the Chiefs, 68 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: knocked off the Chargers, and he's one of the first 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: Colts players that I can remember again as a youngster 70 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: to really kind of connect with the city and the 71 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: fans after the move from Baltimore. He invested in charities. 72 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: You know, I think he had his own radio show, 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. He was on the Bob 74 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: and Tom Show from time to time. He was just 75 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: really funny. He was opinionated, he was thoughtful, he was 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: self deprecating, and you could tell that he played his 77 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: heart and soul out on the field. He was just 78 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: a character and I'm always going to remember him on 79 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: that team that kind of helped turn the Colts into 80 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a big deal in town. Before that run, Jeffrey mean, Indianapolis, 81 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: it was the Indy five hundred. It was the Pacers, right, 82 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: the Pacers and Knick's rivalry was IU basketball, and that 83 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: kind of helped turn the corner into what the Colts 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: are now in terms of popularity and just the Colts 85 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: meeting a ton into the fabric of this city in 86 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: this state here. Yeah, for the first real time that 87 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts had some postseason success was in those 88 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: Tony Saragosa years, obviously with Captain comeback at the Helm 89 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: with Jim Harbaugh. So those are missed, those said that precedent, 90 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: that was a foundation of Colts football, obviously winning and 91 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: doing it the right way in Indianapolis for the first 92 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: time in that ninety five season. So Tony Saragosa, we're 93 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna miss you out, We're gonna miss the antics. I 94 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: hear a lot of people that have great stories about him. 95 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: One of my favorite Goose stories is he would walk 96 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: in time to time in the weight room on the 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday that the boys would be off, but 98 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: he'd still be lifting and working out, but he would 99 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: just be wearing tennis shoes. Mattey, that's it. That's it. No, No, 100 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: that's it. He would walk in there, but you know what, naked, 101 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: and he would have his tennis shoes on. And that's it. 102 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: He'd goes station to station. He just letting everything, letting 103 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: the front office hang out. Yeah, sure he was. That's 104 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: what he was. Tony. Well put the front office because 105 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: that is that is the very front office. But that's 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the kind of guy he was and making things in 107 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the locker room a lot easier. And our heart and 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers and our hearts are broken for this, 109 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: and they go out to the Saragosa family that you know, 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: this is a tough loss. What a young man at 111 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: fifty five years of age and having a great career. 112 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: So Tony Saragosa, we're gonna miss you. And something that 113 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: he didn't like was offensive lineman. So let's flip the switch, 114 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: mate and talk about offensive lineman likes Tony Sarah Goosa 115 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: would not. We're gonna answer some questions with training camp 116 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: being about five weeks away. These are burning questions for 117 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: each position group. We do it week in and week out. 118 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: We had the wide receivers recently, but now we're going 119 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: to talk about the big fellas up front, and I'm 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: talking about the offensive line mate. First burning question right 121 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: out the gate, and you guys, you guys listening right now, 122 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: you know what this question is going to be so 123 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it nice and slow. Matt Taylor, who 124 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: starts at left tackle for the Colts this season. Yeah, 125 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: that's probably. I mean, it's that's an appropriate place to 126 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: start in terms of burning questions because it is the 127 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: biggest question on the offensive line, and I think it's 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: it's a battle between Matt Pryor and Bernard Ryman. The 129 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Colts are gonna have two new starters, by the way, 130 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: on the old line this year. That's the most changeover 131 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: or change up in terms of the starting rotation since 132 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Because Eric Fisher is no longer on the team. 133 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: Mark Olinsky left in free agency. That's going to free 134 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: up the rock guard spot you've got prior. And he 135 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: has started two games in his professional or college career 136 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: at left tackle, So it's gonna be a really interesting 137 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: no matter how you slice this. He started against the 138 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: Raiders late in the season last year. He played very 139 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: well and then saw some time against the Jaguars in 140 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: Week eight. Team and the Colts are really high on 141 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: his ability to play that spot. They brought him back 142 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: in free agency. He's been focused on playing left tackle 143 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: all off season. He's trim some weight to play that spot. 144 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: And then you've got Ryman, and he's interesting because he's 145 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: a rookie. He's never played in a game. He's obviously 146 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: learning the NFL game, you know, in general all together 147 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: for the first time. But the Colts are also pretty 148 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: high on him as well. They drafted him in the 149 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: third round. He started as a tight end in college, 150 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: made the switch to tackle at Central Michigan. Came over 151 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: from Austria as a foreign exchange student Austria. His final 152 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: two seasons he played at left tackle, gave up only 153 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: one sack in that time, so we acclimated very very well. 154 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: So the Colts think they have two guys that can 155 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: play that spot. Ryman obviously is going to go through 156 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: that natural rookie progression, so I think it's Prior who 157 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: probably has the leg up as of right now going 158 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: into camp. But the Colts are going to rotate both 159 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: of those guys with the first team offense during camp, 160 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: and they're gonna play the best player at that spot, 161 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: no matter where he comes from or how he was acquired. 162 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a really really fun battle to 163 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: see kind of who wins that at the end of 164 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: training camp in the preseason that stepth and more depth 165 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: is what is needed on the offensive line. And it 166 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: sounds like the coach are doing okay at the left 167 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: tackle position, but we need to find out the proofs 168 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: into pudding. And I like the rookie. I like Ryman. 169 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: I like what we're talking about. I say, you throw 170 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: that guy who I think is ready, who's long in 171 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: the tooth. I mean he's a little bit older than 172 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: normal rookies. I think he is ready to step in 173 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: at the left tackle position and play it like you said, 174 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: give it up one sack over two years in the 175 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: Mid American Conference. It's a little bit different in the NFL. 176 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: I get that, Matt, but I think this young man 177 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: is ready to show that he is ready to play 178 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: day in and day out in the NFL. And Matt Pryor, 179 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: I love him. Matt Pryors a swing guy. He can 180 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: play across, not across the board. But we do have 181 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: experience at the right side as well as the left side. 182 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: So I like the rookie going in, but I love 183 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: that Prior is ready to play on either side. Now, 184 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: younger players, we're gonna talk to him, looking to hear 185 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: from him. Later. But Danny Pinter, who we talked about, 186 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: he's the full time starter. Glowinski is now a New 187 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: York Giant, and Pinner is in here saying, hey, I'm 188 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: ready to play football. The kid comes from Muncie, he's 189 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: a hometown ken. What do you like about Pinner, Matt, Yeah, 190 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think he's absolutely ready. He 191 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: looks like a natural at the right guard spot, and 192 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: anytime he's had to play and start through his first 193 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: two years, he's played really well. He started four games 194 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: for Ryan Kelly the last two years. He didn't allow 195 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: a sack in two hundred and twenty six offensive snaps, 196 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: and the running game was awesome when he was in there. 197 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 1: The Colts averaged almost two hundred yards per game and 198 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the three games that he started last season, so it's 199 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: pretty cool. As you said, the journey. He's been on 200 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: a tight end in high school at South Ben Adams 201 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: moved to tackle, and you know at ball State in 202 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: college one of the best tackles and all of college football. 203 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: Despite playing in the MAC and now here he is. 204 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: He's an interior offensive lineman in the NFL and he's 205 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: gonna start. He's going to be the right guard for 206 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: this team heading into his third season in the NFL 207 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: with the Colts. Can't wait more, Danny Pitner, We're gonna 208 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: sit down with Matt Taylor. Boys, So the Colts had 209 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: a chance to check in with Danny Pinter find out 210 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: what's going on in his brain getting ready for training camp, 211 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: which is about five weeks away. We are gotting burning 212 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: questions this week. We're talking offensive line. Simply put Matt Taylor. 213 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: Is Quentin Nelson the best offensive guard in the NFL? Yeah, 214 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: I would say still the best guard in the NFL unquestionably, 215 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: and you know, he just continues to get it done. 216 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: He's played with four quarterbacks in four years. I mean, 217 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: check this out. Four thousand snaps over four thousand snaps 218 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: for Quentin Nelson so far at his career, Jeffrey, and 219 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: he's allowed only four sacks. Four sacks in four years, 220 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: four thousand snaps. I mean, the guy's incredible and he 221 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: continues to play through things that not a lot of 222 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: guys would would be out there with. I mean last 223 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: year he had two offseason surgeries, a training camp surgery 224 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: to remove a loose piece of a bone in his foot. 225 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: It's the same procedure that Carson Wentz had. He had 226 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: the high ankle sprain, he had the back issue, and 227 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: he just missed minimal time. So he's one of the 228 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: toughest players in the league. He's one of the best 229 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: players in the league, and he brings that that edge 230 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: to the offensive line, both you know, physically and mentally. 231 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be interesting to see what happens with 232 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: him contractually. You're coming up soon because he's playing on 233 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: the last year of his rookie deal. You know, I'm 234 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: laughing because I'm laughing because because contractually, I love the 235 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: way you said that, because it means big, big, big 236 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: dollars for Quenton Nelson when Jim Urse finally cuts a 237 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: check for this offensive lineman who mate, as we said earlier, 238 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: will be getting left tackle money by playing offensive guard. 239 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: That's what we have with big Q. Well, you know me, 240 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: I'm not a big business guy. I don't I don't 241 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: dive into the finances. I just focus on what they 242 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: do on the field. And you know, Chris Ballard has 243 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: been pretty open about the importance of Nelson on the team, 244 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: so we'll leave that to him. But he's gonna be 245 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: a pro Bowler. He's gonna be an All Pro player 246 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: every single year of his career, so long that he 247 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: stays healthy. And again, yes, he's still that's the underlying words, 248 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: still is the best offensive guard in the NFL. We're 249 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: in good shape on the offensive line, but I got 250 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: to talk to you about injuries and depth. What happens Matt? 251 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: The last burning question on the offensive line? Depth? Depth, depth? 252 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: Do they have enough depth overall? And what are some 253 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: young players looking like that we haven't even talked about 254 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: that are going to make up this offensive line? One 255 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: thing real quick, Maintaine. I've said it before. I don't 256 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: understand sometimes and that's not why I'm a GM, But 257 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: to let Chris Reid go, who is a backup last 258 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: year who played across the board, can snap the ball, 259 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: and played both guard positions. Hecky played offensive tackle a 260 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: little bit of college up in Minnesota. But I don't 261 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: know what happened with Chris Reid. I know he's no 262 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: longer a coal. What about depth on this offensive line 263 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: for our Coals? Well, it's it's a good question because 264 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: depth on the offensive line that was tested last year, 265 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: and it's tested basically every year. You know, the Colts 266 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: projected starting oh line last season played together in just 267 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: four games. They use ten different starting combinations last season, 268 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: nine players started at least three games along the offensive line. 269 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: And to your point about Chris Reid, I will say 270 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: the Colts have been pretty methodical about the depth that 271 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: they've added to the offensive line this offseason, and I 272 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: think it's actually pretty good heading into camp. You've got 273 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: interior o line depth at guard with Will Fries and 274 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: then Jason Sprigs, and we haven't talked a lot about him. 275 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: He was added just a few weeks ago, and he 276 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: can play guard, he can play tackle. He's going into 277 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: a seventh season out of Indiana. This is gonna be 278 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: his fifth different team. He's from Elkhart, Indiana, so a 279 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: local guy. But I think that's a good signing. And 280 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: then at tackle, you've got he got whoever doesn't start 281 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: between Prior and Ryman as a possible swing guy. They 282 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: can play left side and they're on the right side. 283 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: You've got Dennis Kelly, you know, w Yeah. Dis Kelly 284 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: came over from the Titans, you know, spent last year 285 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: with the Packers. He adds a lot of savvyness to 286 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: that offensive line group. I actually think the Colts have 287 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: some good depth, and again, inevitably that depth will be 288 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: called upon to play so at something and the Colts 289 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: have always prioritized and we saw that again methodically play 290 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: out this offseason. Good stuff on that offensive line. We're 291 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna hear from Danny Pinter in a minute.

I was lost in the bowels of this big, 330 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: huge stadium, underneath one floor below the main floor, and 331 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm walking and no one's around me.

He didn't 336 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: have the little schoolboy outfoot on. He wouldn't wear that. 337 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: He said, no, he wasn't. He was smoking a cigarette, 338 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: long hair, and he said, you as lost as I am, 339 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: But I did it an Australian accident. And I said, yes, 340 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: I am. I'm trying to find a door to get 341 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: to an elevator to get upstairs. So I kind of 342 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: muscled it out with Angus Young way back in the day. 343 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: That's over thirty years ago for everybody listening right now, 344 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: so we do have a little connection with the ac DC. 345 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm glad you played it today, mate. My father in 346 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: law said that ACDC opened up for Kiss like back 347 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: in the seventies at Market Square Arena and no one 348 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: knew who ACDC was at the time. Right there, just 349 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: the opening band and Angus Young. Remember the concourse, like 350 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: the the middle concourse that you could walk around the 351 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: arena on at Marcot Square Arena. He is playing guitar. 352 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: He's just dancing and playing guitar all over that concourse 353 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: area at Market Square Arena and then everybody's like, who 354 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: the hell is this guy? And of course after the 355 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: concert's over, everybody goes out, you know, to Karma or 356 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: your local record store and they buy the ACDC album. 357 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, he said it was one of the best 358 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: shows he's ever seen. And he said ACDC better than 359 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 1: Kiss that night. And people will laugh at me on 360 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: this because I'm an old guy, but I don't care. 361 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I thought in the last couple of years, a CDC 362 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: has a Super Bowl halftime act would have just blown 363 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: the doors off the place. Hit after hit after hit 364 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: after hit, play the medley up there. Everybody knows those two. 365 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the same mindset that you should have 366 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: with Carveday. Just go out there. It should be a 367 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: karaoke contest. It should sing along. Everybody wants to just 368 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: have fun. And there's a lot of people that that 369 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: downplay a CDC's contribution to rock and roll history because 370 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: it's like three or four chords over and over. Their geniuses, 371 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: because they didn't it's simple, it's easy to identify with. 372 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are just jealous. They 373 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: didn't come up with exactly just the basic chords and 374 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 1: the riffs over and over and over. That's why they're 375 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: so popular. Chief the same riffs, just change the lyrics. 376 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: ACDC No, I mean, it's not that bad, but seriously, 377 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: you're right, the simple music and it works for year 378 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: after year after year.

The ball State alum is in Indianapolis. He'll 389 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: be starting at the right guard position all right. After 390 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: starting just four games in his first two seasons, he's 391 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: ready to roll. Earlier in the season, Peter sat down 392 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 1: with Boys of the Coach Matt Taylor and Coach dot 393 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: Com senior writer JJ Stankobitz to discuss his offseason working 394 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan and begins talking about how long it 395 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: took his body to feel right after the long grind 396 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: of last season. Yeah, you know, I mean I didn't 397 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: play full seventeen games or anything like that, so, um, 398 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think I do a pretty good job 399 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: of trying to maintain my body throughout the season. And 400 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, I just, you know, the way the season 401 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: ended and everything, I was ready to roll pretty fast. 402 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: So you know, obviously you got to be smart and 403 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: all that and how you're approaching it. But um, I 404 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: mean I got into it pretty fast, and I feel 405 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: pretty good right now in terms of motivation from the 406 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: way the season ended, as you said, there was disappointment there. 407 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: How much how much fire. Does that give you and 408 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: the rest of your teammates going into this offseason workout program? 409 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: For sure? I mean, you know, I think we felt like, 410 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: you know, we got a pretty special team here. I 411 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: think we felt like we had that last year, and obviously, 412 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean everyone knows how it ended. Um So, I 413 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: think that's a little chip on everyone's shoulder. You can 414 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: definitely feel that, and guys are definitely motivated right now. 415 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: How are you taking the experience you had starting a 416 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: number of games last year and using that as you know, 417 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: what is it fuel? Is it an education? Now that 418 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: you're into the off season. How do you view those games? Yeah, 419 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: a little bit everything. I mean really, I mean my 420 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: goal is just always trying to get better, So, um 421 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: you know, I'd go back and watch those games and 422 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: just just trying to approach it with a sense of 423 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: what could I do different or how could I get better? 424 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: How could I improve on that? Um So, I mean 425 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm grateful I had those those opportunities, because that's 426 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: what this game is. It's going out and learning and 427 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: getting better from That's definitely I've been doing. How do 428 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: you view the successful plays that you had? I mean, 429 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: it's kind of the first real lengthy bit of tape 430 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: you've had in the NFL. And some of those successful plays, 431 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, like the one I was just watching was 432 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the reverse to Pittman against Houston where you kind of 433 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: pull way out into space and you're you're you're moving 434 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: down getting on a defensive back. Just how do you 435 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: handle watching the successful plays and what do you you 436 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: look for on those? Yeah? I think, Um, you know, 437 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: anytime you have success, you got to you gotta look 438 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: at why you have success. Um, you know, what were 439 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: you feeling, what did you maybe do that week? Or 440 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: what have you done with your body that allows you 441 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: to do that? Or you know, what did you see 442 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: on film that type of thing. So it's when you 443 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: have success, trying to recreate that and then trying to 444 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: add on top of that to make it even more successful. 445 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: I think Danny Pinter is our guest offensive lineman for 446 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts heading into year three. Which is crazy 447 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: to say, but when you evaluate and look at the 448 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: team in the off season, you know you see free 449 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: agency kind of watching it from afar. You know, you 450 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: see guys like Mark Glinski and Chris Reid leave the 451 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: team in free agency kind of a two part or 452 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: a how how difficult it is it from a personal 453 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: standpoint to see guys go that you were close with, 454 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: and then secondly also knowing, hey, it offers more of 455 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity for you to come in and play a 456 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: bigger role. How do you how do you balance that? Yeah? 457 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: For sure, I mean you know, like you said, I 458 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: mean that's the tough part of this industry. You can 459 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: come close with guys and it's a come and go 460 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: league for sure. And I mean I'm extremely greatful for 461 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: those two guys. Glow. You know, my rookie year, he 462 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: had me in the summer with COVID and all that stuff. 463 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: He had me go in his garage and working out. 464 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: I've learned a ton from him and Chris Reid last 465 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: year too, Like we stayed after practice, he was showing 466 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: me stuff. I mean, I've learned so much from those guys. 467 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: So extremely grateful to them. I've obviously texted them and 468 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But yeah, like you said, I mean, 469 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: you're just looking for opportunities in this league and you 470 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: got to run with them.

So, um really my 473 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: mindset is just coming here and work every day and 474 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: just trying to make the most of it, knowing that 475 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: opportunity's ahead.

He's 499 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: definitely got a lot of tricks and he's seen about 500 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 1: everything you can. Um. So you know, from that, from 501 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: that standpoint, I've learned a ton from him, and he's awesome. 502 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: He's a guy that you know you can go to 503 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: with any question. He's probably gonna have an answer. And 504 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: with this offseason workout program starting within the offense, a 505 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: new quarterback and matt Ryan, what are your first impressions 506 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: of Mattie Ice. He's awesome. He's awesome. Yeah, I've got 507 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: to talk with him obviously, get to know him a 508 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: little more as we continue to progress on. But I mean, 509 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: just right off the bat, you can tell he's he's 510 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: a leader, and he's been a leader for a long time. 511 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: It's natural for him. I think the guys definitely respond 512 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: well to him right off the bat. Um. And I 513 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be an awesome fit for us. So 514 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: excited to get to keep working with him. Just getting 515 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: back around your teammates, you know, getting to you know, 516 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: there's a photo of you just jogging next to Q. 517 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: You know. Just what has been the tenor of the 518 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: conversations you've been having with your teammates back here in 519 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: the building over the last couple of days. Yeah, just 520 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: I mean just kind of that mindset of like working 521 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: for a common goal together. I think that's what's awesome. 522 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: I think that's what I mean. This is my first 523 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: year having a normal off season. Yeah, doing this stuff, 524 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: which is awesome, but I think you know, everyone, everyone's 525 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: on a common goal together, and to come in and 526 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: put that work towards that goal together, I think it's 527 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: an awesome feeling. What was the last time you had 528 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: a normal locker room set up college? Yeah, definitely nineteen 529 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: back in the mac Man. It's crazy speaking of that. 530 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Your rookie season in twenty that was full blown COVID 531 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: last year obviously you had more restrictions, But what was 532 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: the difference take me through your rookie season to your 533 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: sophomore campaign, just in terms of emotion, comfort level, ease 534 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: knowing the system, like how much easier quote unquote was 535 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: your second season compared to your rookie season. Yeah, I 536 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: definitely felt a lot more comfortable. UM, And I think it's, uh, 537 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: you have a better idea of what your process needs 538 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: to be like day in and day out, and what, um, 539 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: what you need to work on. Rookie year, you're kind 540 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: of just you're, I mean, you're doing everything, especially in 541 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: the COVID year. Yeah, you're a rookie. Ye. Yeah, I 542 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: mean that's that's a short straw you drew there. Yeah, 543 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean there's no excuses there anything, But 544 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: you're definitely, uh, you know, you're you're trying to pick 545 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: up a lot fast. So I think last year, I've 546 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: had a better sense of, Okay, this is what I 547 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: need to do, this is when I come in, and 548 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: this is what my process needs to be, this is 549 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: how I need to approach this um and hopefully that 550 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: just continues to elevate. You ever think about how cool 551 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: it is that you're having this great NFL career. You're 552 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: a Hoosier and not not that long ago, you're playing 553 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: tight end at South ben Adams High School and here 554 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: you are in the NFL. Do you ever take time 555 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: to kind of reflect on your journey. I do. Yeah, 556 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. Um. I I wouldn't trade it for anything, obviously. 557 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: I love love that I'm still in Indiana. Um, and 558 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: just you know, Indiana means a lot to me I've had. 559 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I am without so many people 560 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: in South Bend, Muncie, here, just the whole state itself. 561 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: So indeed, I don't take that for granted. All. I'm 562 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: pretty pretty grateful for it. I know we talked about 563 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: this at the time last year in early November I 564 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: think it was. But take me back to that Jets 565 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: game with that touchdown. Can we reflect on that a 566 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: little bit? How much? Ay, what have you done with 567 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: the ball since then? I have the ball? I mean, 568 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: I just got an apartment, so I got it somewhere 569 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: in there. Come on, man, you gotta get it doctored up. 570 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, we'll figure something out down the road. But 571 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: it's there. It's it's taken care of. Do you do 572 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: you remember that night, I mean when you when you 573 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: secured the catch, I mean, did you realize what had 574 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: just happened for you? You You scored a touchdown in the NFL? Yes? 575 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: And no, I mean, it all happened pretty fast, and 576 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't even really a planned thing, so I would 577 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: say it wasn't really untill I got home that night 578 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: and finally responded some texts and stuff like that. But 579 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: it was definitely a cool moment. You were last in 580 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: the progression, right, yeah, yeah, barely an option but sure enough. Well, 581 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: and then it's on hard knocks of course, and then 582 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna live on forever in NFL films. I mean 583 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: it's that's a pretty cool thing, man, Yeah, yeah, definitely, No, 584 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm something cool to look back on for a long time. 585 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: I bet indeed, Danny Pinzer has been our guests.

I promised you. And the only 670 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: thing is it was it was a big party era 671 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: of back in my life. So some of the memories 672 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Matt might be a little bit hazy, but I mean, 673 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling that there's some good stories. I'm telling you, 674 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: all right, Matt, get you thinking, cap On, Matt, Taylor, 675 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: Boys and the Colts best in the business. Here you go, 676 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: Colts left guard Quentin Nelson. He's made the Pro Bowl 677 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: in each of his first four seasons with the Colts 678 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: out of Notre Dame. He became just the second player 679 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: in team history to accomplish at joining Alan Amici from 680 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: fifty five through fifty eight, who was the last NFL 681 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: offensive lineman to be named to four consecutive Pro Bowls 682 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: before Quentin Nelson and Matey. I'm gonna call this one 683 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: an easy one because they both came from the same 684 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: university and this guy was all everything. He is what 685 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: Quenton Nelson is now back in the day, and I 686 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: don't mean not too long ago. Who do you got? 687 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: All right? So with those hints, I think I know 688 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: it and I appreciate that. And he's also the pride 689 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: of any Napolis and Bishop Shtart High schools. Hard I 690 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: hope this is the answer. I'm going with Zach Martin, 691 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: that's true. The hometown kid twenty fourteen through seventeen, Zack 692 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: Martin a pro bowler year in and year out. Quentin 693 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: Nelson is also the first Colts player to be selected 694 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: to four consecutive Pro Bowls since t Y Hilton did 695 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: it in twenty fourteen through seventeen. Congrats to the big man. 696 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: He is the best in the business. He's one of 697 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: the leaders in the locker room. Slowly becoming one of 698 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: the greatest to ever play the position. Yeah, I said it, 699 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: slowly becoming one of the greatest to play the position. 700 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: In the NFL. He is dominant, and I tell you 701 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: nobody gets near the quarterback if you're gonna get blocked 702 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: by Quenton Nelson.

We have discussion. You passed 709 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: him in the hallway at the foot All Complex, so 710 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, the at the lunch table sometimes like this. 711 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: But back in the day two years ago, he didn't 712 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: say anything like. He didn't say nothing. He just glittered, 713 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he just kind of stared 714 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: and glared at and you're like, oh, crap, did I 715 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: do something wrong with Big Q. Who's got a stack 716 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: off the wrong place yet exactly? And he kind of 717 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: looks at it. But it's just him. I mean, he's 718 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: just him. He's kind of low key, he's focused, he 719 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: doesn't smile lout, but a real funny guy as well. 720 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, his back is the size of 721 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: a garage door. He really is. Yeah, that's what I've 722 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: always said. It's like the guy's with the guy's girt. 723 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: His back from shoulder to shoulder is a garage door. 724 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: We're lucky to have him. The best in the business. 725 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: May Day, let's close out the show with the NFL 726 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: grab bag. The NFL never sleeps. This is the NFL 727 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: grab bag On the last word, This NFL grab bag 728 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: rough to you. Buy our friends at Meyer Meyer, the 729 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: official supercenter of the Indianapolis Colts and proud sponsor of 730 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: hundreds of local sports teams across the Midwest. Big Rock 731 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: He has called it quits for the second time. I'm 732 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski retiring for the NFL at 733 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: the age of thirty three. Groncket previously retired after the 734 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season with the New England Patriots because of injuries. 735 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: Now Tom Brady summoned him through a text message. Adam said, 736 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: meet me on the field in Tampa to come out 737 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: of retirement play for the Bucks. Boom, they get the 738 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Matt Is Gronk the first ballot Hall of 739 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: Famer is and I'll do one better. Is Rob Gronkowski 740 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: the greatest tight end to ever play the position. I 741 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: gotta say he's arguably arguably the best tight end ever 742 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: in a first ballot Hall of Famer. Yes, absolutely, And 743 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: unfortunately we have to throw this nugget in and I 744 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: know people aren't gonna like this, but eight and oh 745 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: all time against the Colts. So he he was a 746 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: cult killer. I mean, whether it was a Patriots or 747 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. He was a playmaker and four time first 748 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: team All Pro All Decade Team in the twenty tens. 749 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: He's on the one hundredth anniversary team All Time. I 750 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: can list his stats and go on and bore you 751 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: with the numbers, but without question, Rob Gronkowski transformed that position, 752 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: and it's no secret why Tom Brady loved playing with 753 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: him because of what he could do for that position, 754 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: but also what it meant for the rest of the 755 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: playmakers on the field. Because of Rob Gronkowski's presence, I'm 756 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: saying he kind of the mold of that tight end. 757 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean it started with Kellen Winslow back in the day, 758 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: where not a great blocker, but put up statistics that 759 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: were of a wide receiver. That's the same thing with Grock. 760 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 1: He's like that sort of guy. Not a great blocker, 761 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: but don't get me wrong, he would block and he's 762 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: a giant of a man. But as far as the 763 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: offensive skills and things, he didn't put points on the board. Nobody, 764 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: in my eyes comes close to answer. Is an easy one, 765 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer walks in the first time 766 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: that he has given the opportunity to Rob Gronkowski. We 767 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: will see you again in Tampa Bay this year, because 768 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: the phone's gonna be ringing and Brady's gonna call you 769 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: and say, let's give it one more shot. You know, 770 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: you can practice two days a week, that's it, and 771 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: come and play on Sunday something like that. So my prediction, 772 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: Gronkowski not done with the NFL. A guy who is 773 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: done with the NFL. Mayta. Ryan Fitzpatrick, the former quarterback. 774 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: He's taking his magic touch to the broadcast, Bruth. Amazon 775 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: Prime Video announced this week that Fitzpatrick, he recently retired 776 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position he played for just about everybody 777 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL other than the Colts. He's joining the 778 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: streaming service as an analyst for its first season as 779 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: the exclusive home of Thursday Night football. Fitzpatrick started for 780 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: a record nineteens over a seventeen year career, and he 781 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: joins Hall of Fame tight end another great one, Tony Gonzalez, 782 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: and All Pro cornerback Richard Sherman as studio analysts. I 783 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: can't wait to watch the Thursday Night. We got Gonzalez, 784 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: we got Sherman, and now we got Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is 785 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: a funny, funny dude. Matey, this guy's gonna be lightened 786 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: up the broadcast. Bruth. Oh, I agree, it's gonna be awesome. 787 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: That's a great lineup, and you're exactly right. I mean, 788 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is succinct, he's funny. This is a home runs. 789 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite players off the field because 790 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: he just doesn't take himself too serious. He's respected the game, 791 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 1: He's played at a high level. He certainly maximized his talent. 792 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: He did everything that he could for the teams that 793 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: he was on. But he was self deprecating. I mean 794 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: that the postgame interviews, those press conferences where they were epic. 795 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he is a funny, funny guy, and he's 796 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: gonna bring levity to that studio show with Tony Gonzalez 797 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: and Richard Sherman and provide a little bit of a 798 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: different angle that I think a lot of those other 799 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: shows don't have. Amazon Prime Thursday nights. Be ready for 800 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: it again, Tony Gonzalez, Richard Sherman and the newly retired 801 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick.
