Billy 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: by all set, man, I mean, have you gotten the 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: scope out? Have you rinsed out your mouth? Have you 13 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: gotten rid of that bad taste? 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: Yes, it's time to move on. You know what happened in. 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: What you say, Tom Petty song, Time to move on, 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor and Tom Penny. 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's time to move on. What happened in the past. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: That happened in the past. Right now is all about 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. Getting ready to Chicago Bears playing with 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: Bears here at home at Lucas Oil Stadium. What a 21 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 2: better time to turn it around than now? Absolutely Lucasoil Stadium. 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And in case, we've been asking guys inside the 23 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: locker room this week how they are balancing the urgency 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: of OH and two. I thought Shane Stykeen had a 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: really nice comment the other day. It's like, yeah, we've 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: dropped the first two games, but if we lose two 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: in a row in week seven, week eight, I don't 28 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: think everybody's freaking out nearly as much as they are then, 29 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: potentially as they are now just because we've had to 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: wait nine months for a new season to get here. 31 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Then you'd lose the first two. But always interesting to 32 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: hear guys talk about the balance of the urgency of 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: not going down oh to three, but also knowing in 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: the grand scheme the perspective of the season, you've still 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: got about ninety percent of the season still left to play. 36 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: Here absolutely mean fifteen more games if you include this weekend. 37 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: And also I think when the schedule came out and 38 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: you saw Houston Green Bay, those are two teams that 39 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: were in the playoffs last year, so you knew those 40 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: were going to be competitive football games. Now I know 41 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: Jordan Love being out that kind of throws a little 42 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: wrinkle into the Packers thing. But ultimately, this is one 43 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: of the things we had talked about when that schedule 44 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: came out, is you start off with two really good opponents, 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: so nothing changes. When you look at it, it's there 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 3: are one possession games. That seems to be the mantra 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 3: of the NFL. So ultimately, a couple of plays go 48 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: one way or another and the whole thing is different. 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: I think the guys are viewing it definitely like you 50 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 3: know what, Yeah, kind of like what Shane said, we 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: lose two games in the middle of the season, you 52 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: just look at it as Okay, you lost a couple 53 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: decided to get back on the horse. So I think 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: ultimately when you look at the win column and it's zero, 55 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: that's probably why. That's why all of this is so 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: much in the forefront. But definitely a big opportunity with 57 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: back to back home games. 58 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, got a lot to clean up. You have to 59 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: course correct the season. We'll talk about the offense not 60 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: being able to stay on the field, the defense not 61 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: being able to get off the field, or to the 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: rushing total just weighed way too high. And there's been 63 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: a lot of conclusions or statements already made about the 64 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Colts around town at other places of business, the water 65 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: cooler conversation. You know that you hear about the Colts. 66 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about those things and debate how 67 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: true they are on a segment called are you in 68 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: or are you out? On some of those you know, 69 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: big conclusions that I've already been made about the Colts, 70 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, from a cliche standpoint through the first two games. Also, 71 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about those one to one Chicago Bears. 72 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: They're led by a rookie quarterback in Caleb Williams. They've 73 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: got a really sluggish offense. They've only put up about 74 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards of offense through the first 75 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: two games, not scoring a lot of points. In fact, 76 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: they only have one offensive touchdown at this point in 77 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: the season. So we'll talk about all of that. Also, 78 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: how about this, The Colts are expanding their marketing territories, 79 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: not just here in Colts Country, here in the Midwest 80 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: and all around central Indiana, but they are going international 81 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: all right. The Colts are really branding Europe in Germany 82 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: and Austria, and a big part of that is linking 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: up with former Colts defensive end Bjorn Werner. So Bjorn 84 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: is actually here, he's in Indianapolis, he's in the building. 85 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have a conversation with Bjorn coming up 86 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: a little bit later in the podcast. He's going to 87 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: be on the call on Sunday for a German television 88 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: network that's calling the game. It's the first time a 89 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: German TV network has actually produced a game live on 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: site at an NFL stadium here in the United States. 91 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: And they picked Colts and Bears primarily because of Bjorn Werner, 92 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: who is like the Pat McAfee, John Madden, Troy Aikman, 93 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: he's all of those people as it relates to being 94 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: able to speak authoritatively about American football overseas in Europe. 95 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: It's really cool. 96 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really cool for him to really bring American 97 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: football to Germany so they can understand it and grow 98 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: the game, of course. 99 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: And it's laid back. Yeah, it's fun. It's entertaining the 100 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: way he presents the game. 101 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: To and that's the way it should because that's how 102 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 2: I look at the game of football. It's fun. Yes, 103 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: it's a competitive it's hard, it's difficult to play at times, 104 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: but it's a fun game. It's an enjoyable game, and 105 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: that's what you want to think about when you're watching football, 106 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: something that's fun and enjoyable. And I'm sure he does 107 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: a great job. 108 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: What he does. He does you just have to learn 109 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: German to understand. 110 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: I can't. 111 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 3: I wouldn't understand it, definitely, man, I know you can 112 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: help us in that cat I did. 113 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: I took four years of German.

Do you believe me? We know that. 121 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: Don't try to pigeonhole. You cannot put me in a 122 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: box because I will find no bott of it. All right, 123 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: So we have a lot to get into today. Bill 124 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: for you again, the oh and two start for the Colts. 125 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: For you, what what's been, for lack of a better term, 126 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: the hardest pill to swallow about the way the Colts 127 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: have started the season. 128 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 2: I think with a lot of people it's been the 129 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: run defense. I just have a hard time just understanding 130 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: how the Colts can come out this year, especially when 131 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: you bring the majority of your core people back on defense. 132 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: They've been in the system for a while. You have 133 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: some guys that are reliable, that are good, that make 134 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: big plays, and then to start off the way you 135 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: have in these first two games, not being able to 136 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: stop the run, letting teams run all over you, so 137 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 2: to speak. It's been hard to understand, hard to fathom, 138 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: and it's difficult. And hopefully, you know they can turn around, 139 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: But for these first two games, I would say just 140 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: the run defense, not being able to stop anyone, and 141 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: it's really put the team in a bad hole as 142 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: far as during the game, and you know, time of 143 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: possessions and stuff. We'll talk about later, but that's the 144 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: one thing that I'm having a difficulty wrapping my head 145 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: around for u K. 146 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, run defense is definitely one of them. 147 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: I think for me, it is time of possession. It's 148 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: so broad because there's so many things that go into it. 149 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: I mean, run defense, just defense in general, goes into it. 150 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: The offense not being able to stay on the feet 151 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: that's been before me. I mean I think I mentioned 152 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: it last week. I don't remember seeing a time where 153 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: a team had forty minutes of time and possession against 154 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: the Colts, and then last week they had even more 155 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: in the Packers than what Houston did in Week one. 156 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: So that's been my biggest thing is is just the 157 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: inability to sustain drives. 158 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 5: You know, you have the big playability. 159 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: We saw that in week one and that is going 160 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: to be part of it, and that is going to 161 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: you know, impact the time of possession because if you 162 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: score a touchdown in three plays, you're you know, that's 163 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: okay though, because you get the end result, but when 164 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: you look at it, you're zero to two. You're struggling 165 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: to sustain drives. That's where my biggest thing is is 166 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: the offense is not able to when they do have 167 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: the football, sustain long drives to keep the defense fresh, 168 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: and the defense in turn is not getting off on 169 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: those key downs. Your third downs were allowing second and 170 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: third and manageable. I think those are my biggest things 171 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: that I'm shocked through two weeks. 172 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well said right there, first and second down 173 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: killing the Colts on defense to not be able to 174 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: be in a position to get the opposition right into 175 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: third and long, and I love what Rick Venturi has said. 176 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: And then Kenny Moore. I don't know if those two 177 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: guys talk to each other here this week. All kidding aside. 178 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's an old football line, but 179 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: you've got to earn the right to rush the passer. 180 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: And when you're not getting into third and long or 181 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: second and long, it's gonna be a long day, which 182 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: it was for the Colts obviously in that first half 183 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, you know, giving up two hundred and 184 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: thirty seven yards and you know, just to tell a 185 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: story from the radio booth, I mean Rick, obviously he's 186 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: an old school guy, right, so during the game, doesn't 187 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of technology in front of him. 188 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: So at halftime he's always peppering me for the stats. 189 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: You know, give me the time of possession, give me 190 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: the you know, give me the passing, give me the 191 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: you know everything. And I get to the rushing defense 192 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: allowed and I said to thirty seven and he goes, no, no, no, no. 193 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: For the half, I go to thirty seven. Yeah, and 194 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: you know, are there kidding here? 195 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: Are there? 196 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: Kadd a? 197 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: What what the word are we doing? It's like, yeah, 198 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: it was that bad for thirty minutes of that game. 199 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I guess the Colts did find a little bit of 200 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: a launching pad in that second half where they gave 201 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: up only twenty four yards past halftime rushing, but the 202 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: damage had already been done to that point. 203 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: Too late, right at that point. 204 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: All right, we're going jumping to conclusions here now, because 205 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: people love to jump to conclusions before they have all 206 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: the facts are in this case, really before. We're well 207 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: before the halfway point of the NFL regular season. So again, 208 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: the Colts are zero to two, but eighty eight percent 209 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: of the season is still left to play. So I'm 210 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: going to give you guys some statements that we're probably 211 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: hearing all over town around the water cooler, and let's 212 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: debate how valid they are based on how you guys 213 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: see it so far for the Colts through two games. 214 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: So here's one that I'm sure is being talked about 215 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: around town, the quote old reliables, the old reliables for 216 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: the Colts. They haven't shown up yet, are you guys 217 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: in or out on that? And by the old reliables 218 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: you mean the veteran players or the things about this 219 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: team that are supposed to be staples the running game, 220 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: which Jonathan Taylor the offensive line, protecting the veteran receivers 221 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: catching the ball and making plays. Are you or are 222 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: you out on that state on this one? 223 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: I am in on this state statement in regards to 224 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they have shown up. You know, you 225 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: have certain players dropping balls out there that you know, 226 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 2: you kind of count on them to catch the ball 227 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: and make some yards after the catch. And also some 228 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 2: guys on defense, you know what, setting the edge, you know, 229 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: the guys befront, setting the edge and tackling miss tackles 230 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: out there in the football field. You expect these guys 231 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: to step up, especially veterans, to help the young guys along, 232 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: to show the young guys how to play the game 233 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: and what to expect in each game. And right now, 234 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: the veterans, they're all reliable so to speak, have not 235 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: stepped up yet. And I think that's a key word yet. 236 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: And I think they will step up. I think those 237 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: guys have a lot of pride and what they do 238 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 2: out there in the football field and how they play, 239 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: and they want to put a good performance out there 240 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: on the football field, not just for the fans, but 241 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: for themselves and their teammates. So I think those guys 242 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: will step up. I think those guys are you know, 243 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: they're they're it's hurt a little bit going into this 244 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: game against the Chicago Bears, and they need to step 245 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: up because if they don't step up, Yeah, it could 246 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: be a very long season. 247 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And and I think Bill's spot 248 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: on case you mean, you look at you know, some 249 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: drop passes. It's not just all Anthony Richardson in terms 250 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: of being able to stay on the field. I know 251 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the completion percentages down and the interceptions are up, but 252 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: I think Bill is right other guys. The reason why 253 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: the Colts lost the Packers lost to the Packers isn't 254 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: just because of the defense and quarterback play. Other guys 255 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: have to help a quarterback along, especially when you're talking 256 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: about a guy on Sunday that's still only making his 257 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: seventh start in the NFL. 258 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 5: No, absolutely, I think that's I'm spot on. 259 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: I'm buying this as well, because ultimately you think about 260 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: the old reliables and whether that be you know Kenny 261 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: Moore or you know Zaire Franklin or Michael Pittman, They've 262 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: all had games where I'm sure you talk to them 263 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: in the locker room and they'll be the first to 264 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: tell you I need to play better. And that's one 265 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 3: of the things that you kind of go into you 266 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: count on and expect them to be at that that 267 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 3: part in their game where they're already at a high level, 268 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: and it makes everybody else play at a higher level. 269 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 3: And you think about the youth and all of that 270 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 3: kind of full encompassing is part of the reason what 271 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: we're in this spot. I think if you get more 272 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: reliable play from those old reliables, I think that brings 273 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: everybody's play up and no longer are you kind of 274 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: in that well we don't really know how to win 275 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: because we haven't been in that situation. 276 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 5: You're more comfortable. So I think that is a big thing. 277 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: And I'm with Bill yet you haven't seen it, but 278 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: I have a feeling about Sunday that you're going to 279 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: see a little difference from guys like Michael Pittman, like 280 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: he hasn't had his impact yet. I think you're going 281 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 3: to start to see the reason that this team targeted 282 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: and give an extension to a guy like a Michael Pittman. 283 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: And as I your Franklin and those kinds of guys. 284 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: I need those things to show up. 285 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 4: Yep. 286 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next jumping to conclusion here, 287 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: the Colts are going to have to simply outscore the 288 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: opposition this season in a shootout form to win games. 289 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 1: And this is more in line not specifically in discussion 290 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: points for the offense, but more of the d defense, 291 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: because through two games, the Colts are last against the run. 292 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: They've allowed over four hundred and seventy rushing yards their 293 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: second to last, and completion percentage allowed second to last, 294 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: and total yards allowed and last and minutes played on 295 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: defense or the most minutes played on defense having to 296 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: be on the field for eighty plus minutes so far 297 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: through the first two games, and they ranked twenty sixth 298 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: and red zone defense. So are you in or out 299 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: on the offense having to overcome all of that for 300 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: the remainder of the season. As a lot of people 301 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: have made some sweeping statements about the Colts, some generalities 302 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: through two games and how it's going to be the 303 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: rest of the year. 304 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: I'm out on this one. I don't think that's going 305 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: to happen that. I think, first of all, it would 306 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: be very difficult for any team in National Football League 307 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: to just say, Okay, we're gonna outscore everyone, and we're 308 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: going to do that. It's very difficult to do that 309 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: in the National Football League. You're gonna get some games where, yeah, 310 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: it's going to be back and forth, back and forth, 311 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: up and down the field, scoring a lot of points, 312 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: and you know, you try to outscore some team might 313 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: win the game thirty five, thirty three, thirty eight, thirty five, 314 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: something like that. But in order for this team to 315 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: be good and to get to where they want to get, 316 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: the defense is gonna have to step up. They're gonna 317 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: have a step up, and I think they will step up, 318 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: and they're gonna have to play a game where they're 319 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: gonna have to hold teams down and maybe offense might 320 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: be struggling a little bit. If they're struggling a little bit, 321 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: that's what you want. You want your defense to say, Hey, look, 322 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: we got this game under the control. We're gonna hold 323 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: this team down. When you guys get together before the 324 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: end of the game, score some points, then we'll be okay. 325 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: So I think the defense is going to have to 326 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: step up and make some plays and hold these teams 327 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: down so they're not having a ball for forty minutes, 328 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: and where they can make these big plays and wear 329 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: out our defense and give the ball back to the offense, 330 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: create some turnovers on defense, get the ball so they 331 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: can get the ball back to the offense, and then 332 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, it might be some close games. I pitching 333 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: most of the games in the National Football League to 334 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: be close games, as Casey has allude to one possession games, 335 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: and to me, those are close games. So I think 336 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: the defense is gonna have to step up. And I 337 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: don't think the Colts or any team was going to 338 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: have to score a whole bunch of points to win 339 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: a lot of games. It'll be nice to have a 340 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: lot of points, but I just think the defense has 341 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,359 Speaker 2: a step up in whole teams. 342 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: Down in case even without DeForest Buckner. Who knows, maybe 343 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: Julian Blackman is back this week. You practiced on Wednesday. 344 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: That was really good sign. I know you're down, Juju Brinz. 345 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: You're kind of thin in the secondary. You're kind of 346 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: piecing it together at this point. But I said it 347 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: all off season. There is just too much talent individually 348 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: on that defense to be given up thirty plus points 349 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: per game, and I know it was only sixteen in 350 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: Green Bay, but it obviously felt like way more because 351 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: of the rushing total you allowed in the first half. 352 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: I still think there's just too much pride on that defense. 353 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Guys have to figure that out, and I think they 354 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: will starting on Sunday. So I'm out on that statement. 355 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 5: I'm right with you. 356 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: I'm out because I'm It's one of those things where 357 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: we talked about this front all off season. I mean, 358 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: I think the number at one point it was they 359 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 3: have seven first or second round draft picks on that front, 360 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: and guys that are not included in that. I know 361 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: we lost Samson Ebacom for the year. He was one 362 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: of those. Grover Stewart was not one of the Like 363 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: those are two guys that were not in that seven. 364 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: So you think about the amount of investment, investment of 365 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: first and second round picks on there is so much talent. 366 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: It's time to go though, It's time to go absolutely, absolutely, 367 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: in all seriousness, you can't be finished in twenty six 368 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: then that points allowed. There's too much talent on that 369 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: side of the ball, and I'm with you. I think 370 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: it is going to change. I really think you're going 371 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: to see the pass rush that we envisioned start to 372 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 3: really come to fruition. You're gonna see once they can 373 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: get the run game handled. I think it all goes 374 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: in play. You know, with Kenny Moore and Rick's comments 375 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: about you have to earn the right to rush the passer, 376 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: I think all of that is going to start coming 377 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: to a head and it helps. It's like a oiled 378 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 3: machine when when one thing's helping, it makes everything else 379 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: run smoothly. I think therefore you're going to see those 380 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: defensive numbers come down. You're going to see all of 381 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 3: that incohesion. It's just you've got to start. It starts 382 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 3: up front, and it starts with you know, you got 383 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 3: those guys, and then guys like Zaiere and EJ. They 384 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: have a higher standard they want to play too. Once 385 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 3: all of that comes to fruition, which I envisioned starting 386 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 3: on Sunday, I think it's all gonna be a really 387 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: positive moving forward all right. 388 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: On Tuesday morning, I was at the accounting firm down 389 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: the street and I heard some guy at the water 390 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: cooler say, Hey, this offense for the Colts, it's just 391 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: gonna be boom er bust all season long. You know, 392 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: we just got to get used to it. It's gonna 393 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: be boom or bust all season long. You know, strap 394 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: in with with Anthony Richardson, there's gonna be big plays 395 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: and there's just gonna be too many three and ounce. 396 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: So where are you on that statement? Casey? Are you 397 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: in or are you out right there? Because the Colts 398 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: offense has had eight possessions so far this season where 399 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: they've had the ball for less than two minutes. Is 400 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,719 Speaker 1: this what we're gonna expect or is this what we're 401 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: gonna see all season long from the Colts offense? 402 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 5: I'm out on that. 403 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 3: I think one of the things that I talked about earlier, 404 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: you haven't seen Michael Pittman Junior really been highlighted in 405 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: this offense. You're gonna get Josh Downs back. I think 406 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: what those guys are going to do. I mean, Josh 407 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: Downs might be one of the best players in that 408 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 3: locker room that when it's third and five, he's gonna 409 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 3: get you a first down. I think part of that 410 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: is right now, your boom has been seen with your 411 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 3: Alec Pierce, big plays and all of that. But I 412 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: don't think you've seen that in corporation into what Pittman 413 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 3: and Downs are going to do to this offense. And 414 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 3: then also you saw a glimpse of what Jonathan Taylor 415 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: in this run game can really do. But I think 416 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 3: because of what the score was at the time, you 417 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 3: had to, you know, go away from the run. I 418 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: think you're gonna see a lot more complimentary football, and 419 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: so therefore, I don't think it's gonna be quite boom 420 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: or bust. But I do think on top of that, 421 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a lot more big 422 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 3: plays than what you have in recent history, which is 423 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 3: not a bad thing. I think you want explosives, you 424 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: want all of that, but I do think it's going 425 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 3: to be a little bit more, you know, less of 426 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,239 Speaker 3: the massive plays in three and outs and more right 427 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 3: in the middle. 428 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with Casey on this. I think you'll see 429 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: some more consistency from the offense to sustain some drives 430 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: and make some plays. I mean, it's great to have 431 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: those big plays and they and they help the team 432 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 2: out a lot, give the guys energy, give the fans energy, 433 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: especially at home. But I think you need plays where 434 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to get you know, maybe twelve yards 435 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 2: on a fourth first down, or get eight yards for 436 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: a first down. Hit pit mean over the middle, and 437 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: I think as you talked about getting pit me more 438 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 2: involved and things like that, the tight ends, I know, 439 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: the tight ends haven't been involved as much as Yeah, 440 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 2: they haven't been involved as much. I think you're going 441 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: to see the coaches start saying, Okay, we have to 442 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: get everybody involved. Let's spread the ball around, get the 443 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: ball to some of these guys, and just play good 444 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: coach football, which will eventually come to Okay, is second 445 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: and eight or is third and seven and we get 446 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 2: a first down, Okay, East, some clock up, East, some clockup, 447 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: move the ball down the field, be more consistent. And 448 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: I think once you see that, I think that the 449 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: coaches will make a good game plan. Get those guys involved, 450 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: get the ball down the field, eat up some clock, 451 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: help your defense out, and as you said, play complimentary football. 452 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 2: You're going down on a nice long drive, scoring points 453 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: the defensive stop them getting a turnover, or those guys 454 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: getting off the field and getting the ball back to 455 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: the offense. I think you're going to see that and 456 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: that will help this team out tremendously. Moving forward. 457 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk about the Chicago Bears on defense. But 458 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, out of the four units offense and defense 459 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: for both teams going into this game, the closest thing 460 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: to an elite unit so far through two games is 461 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: the Chicago defense. So it's going to be a good 462 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: test for the Colts offensively with Anthony Rick. 463 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: They ate the eighty five Bears, that's. 464 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: Right, that's right, but they're good. 465 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 2: They're pretty good, but not the eighty five. 466 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: Bears later, So we'll talk about that as we wrap up. 467 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: But that's the Colts offense looking to take off and 468 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: find their footing. The Colts are taken off and they've 469 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: definitely found their footing from a branding standpoint and from 470 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: a marketing perspective internationally again taking off in Europe, getting 471 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: more and more NFL fans, specifically Colts fans, and Germany 472 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: and Austria as the Colts played overseas last year and 473 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: Frankfurt just it was a tremendous experience.

And 670 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: how did you guys pick Colton Bears for the first one. 671 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 6: So obviously I work as an analyst for the TV station, 672 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 6: So I don't work for the TV station during the 673 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 6: week I'm going to show up, you know, just like 674 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 6: the I don't know, the Tony Romo, the Tom Brady 675 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 6: and Greg Olsen. They just show up on the weekends, 676 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 6: you know. And and obviously when we talked about being 677 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 6: the global ambassador, they asked me, what is one thing 678 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 6: to be different? 679 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 4: Right? 680 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 6: And then I was like, man, we need to we 681 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 6: need to figure out how we can maybe show a 682 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 6: game eventually out of Indneapolis to kind of open the 683 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 6: doors for the TV station and get pictures that other 684 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 6: teams didn't do it, you know, and and and guess 685 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 6: what happened. So I connected them with RTL right away. 686 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 6: And RTL was like, whoa. The Coats are very welcoming. 687 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 6: They're very like, come over, we show you everything. So 688 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 6: they did a trip in the summer to come over here, 689 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 6: and the Colts delivered, you know, they rolled out the 690 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 6: red carpet. And I was like, nice, this is for me. 691 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 6: It was I'm just hoping this is going to happen. 692 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 6: But I just connected those two words right there, and 693 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 6: and RTL said, man, this is a cool story. Beyond 694 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 6: being back for the first time, he can do the 695 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 6: game from there, and the Colds obviously rolling out the 696 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 6: red carpet and making it easy for them to produce 697 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 6: from over here, right because every time at TV station, 698 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 6: like you can imagine being in a different country going 699 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 6: somewhere like there's always struggles with how much support are 700 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 6: they really getting, And the Colts are giving all the 701 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 6: support in the world, and that makes it easy for 702 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 6: RTL to kind of pick this game over some of 703 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 6: the other teams who are pitched in, you know, so 704 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 6: they just they just wanted, you know, they want a 705 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 6: battle off having this game, you know. So, and I'm excited, 706 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 6: you know, I was flowing over here, you know, Okay, 707 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 6: I I could chill six days in Indianapolis, do a 708 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 6: game out of the stadium, because usually in Germany. 709 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 4: What we do. 710 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 6: I live in Berlin, I'll fly to Cologne, that's where 711 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 6: the TV stations are, and then I kind of watch 712 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 6: it in a nice studio. We have a nice studio, 713 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 6: but I watch it on the screen too. Right, you're 714 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 6: doing remote branch, you have remote broadcast. So every time 715 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 6: you have a chance to be in a stadium, it's 716 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 6: one hundred times cooler to have this atmosphere to be 717 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 6: all in to watch the game differently, because obviously former 718 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 6: players kind of watch it differently. You watch the whole 719 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 6: coaching view already, you know, like you see stuff happening 720 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 6: just out of the side of your eye on maybe 721 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 6: in the backfield already, you know, so on the screen, 722 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 6: I just get the camera angles. 723 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: That gain was the hardest part for me during COVID, 724 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, just only being able to watch what they're 725 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: showing you instead of being able to different see everything 726 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: in the stadium with your own eyes exactly. 727 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: So I'm excited. 728 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 6: So usually we do the London games, we do the 729 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 6: Super Bowl in the stadium, we do the obviously the 730 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 6: German games, you know, but now hopefully we do that 731 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 6: more often. You know, come over here during the regular 732 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 6: season because it's those are the memories we make.

I know this is probably just for for 792 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: me and you right now, but just quickly. The weight 793 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: room used to be the pavilion where you guys used 794 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: to eat and have meetings. The cafeteria which you're going 795 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: to see, wasn't there. Grid Iron Hall wasn't there. I 796 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: think grid Iron Hall used to be the weight room. 797 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 4: The lockers, I knew I saw the locker room. I mean, 798 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 4: I've been in the old years ago that was. 799 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: You're probably running in the in the walls that you're 800 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: thinking used to be doors, you know. 801 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, because like at you know, after this, we're doing 802 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 6: a lot of shooting with aut L as well. 803 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 4: And they said, yeah, this whole coming look what was old. Luck, 804 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 4: I was like, I would have no idea. 805 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: It's not there anymore. 806 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 6: It's not there anymore. Like I can't tell you anything. 807 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 6: This is like I'm new here too, exactly all. 808 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: Right, So if we can to close out here, let's 809 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 1: let's talk about these these Colts obviously, as you said, 810 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: really disappointing start. Oh and to kind of stub their 811 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: toe in the first two games of the season. When 812 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: you look at the Colts in the big picture, Bjorn, 813 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: what do you see what needs to be corrected? H 814 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: to kind of rewrite the course of this season starting 815 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday. 816 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of storylines, you 817 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 6: know after week one. I mean, we I always have 818 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 6: the TV personal on me now, you know what I'm saying. 819 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 6: It's like, you know, and to Rich, it's an only 820 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 6: start of six games so far, so I feel like 821 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 6: after I think after week one, we put a lot 822 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 6: of hype. The NFL put a lot of hype on 823 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 6: him too, because he had some crazy throws, you know, 824 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 6: the big playability. But then I guess Week two was 825 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 6: kind of wakening too, right. Uh. 826 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 4: It's crazy for me as outsider right now. 827 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 6: To look on it when I watch these games. The 828 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 6: run defense, you know, especially when you I know Bata 829 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 6: is now injured. That's a big loss for this weekend, 830 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 6: but you know, being less than the run defense, because 831 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 6: if you can't stop it never changes, you know, even 832 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 6: in today's world. I just talked this morning and our 833 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 6: podcast about it. 834 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 4: The first two weeks. 835 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 6: Were dominated by the run game, you know, and we 836 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 6: always say the NFL is evolving to a pass happy league. 837 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 4: No, the run game is still important. Because the Packers. 838 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 6: Beat the Colts with Milik Willis and just running the 839 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 6: ball and everybody knows, yeah, and everybody knew they were 840 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 6: going to run the ball, and like the Colts weren't 841 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 6: able to stop it, you know. So I assume that Chicago, 842 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 6: who didn't establish a run game yet in the first 843 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 6: two games, if they don't come out to at least try, 844 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 6: I feel like that will be bad coaching on the 845 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 6: on the bear side, right, But hopefully on Sunday, I'm 846 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 6: going to sit there on German TV, you know, and say, yes, 847 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 6: the Colts can stop the run, you know, and then 848 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 6: you can get you established the run like last week 849 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 6: with Jonathan Taylor, and then create the big plays you 850 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 6: know for Anthony Richards and get Michael Pittman there. You know, 851 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 6: we didn't do it all day yet, so I'm excited. 852 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 6: I'm excited as a fan to kind of see this 853 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 6: how coach Styiton kind of adjusts today, you know, because 854 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 6: we all know. I remember when I was here too. 855 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 6: We had to Z and two start with Andrew Luck 856 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 6: twenty fourteen and we ended up being the. 857 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 4: AC Championship game. Right. 858 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 6: The percentage of making the playoffs was well like eleven 859 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 6: percent right now, but if you own three, it drops 860 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 6: a lot. 861 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 862 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 6: You also, it's a must swim and I'm excited to 863 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 6: feel his energy in the stadium. 864 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: I like that must win. I'm right there with you. 865 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: The twelfth Man going to be huge for the Colts 866 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and he's going to be right there a 867 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: part of it. His first game back at Lucas Oil Stadium. 868 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 4: You got a nice view too, get a nice oh. 869 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 1: I can tell you that it's I though, bring the 870 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: binocular time. It's going to be a different vantage point 871 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: from you on the sidelines back in the day. That's 872 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: Bjorn Werner again. He's on the call for RTL, the 873 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: first game produced by a German television network in America 874 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: on site at an NFL venue, Lucas Oil Stadium, Colts 875 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: and Bears. Bjorn, thank you so much for your time, man. 876 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: I know you got crazy busy day, a busy schedule 877 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 1: going into Sunday and all the best men continued success. 878 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: Thank you man, Bjorn Verne. He looks good, doney, he does. 879 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: He looks good. He's still feeling it out and again 880 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: he is. He is so popular overseas. Like that's something 881 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: that I didn't realize last year when we were over there. 882 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: I just didn't realize how big American football is in Germany. 883 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: And we showed up for the game. We got there, 884 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, at a normal time. You know, I think 885 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: the game started at whatever two o'clock in the afternoon, 886 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,959 Speaker 1: you know, German time, so we probably got there four 887 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: hours before the game start setting up. And Casey and Bill. 888 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling you that place was full as soon. I 889 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: mean they opened the doors and people were there in 890 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: their seats an hour and a half, two hours before 891 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, it felt like a big concert. 892 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: People are just excited, you know, to to you know, 893 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: experience that first note from the big band, or in 894 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: this case, to watch warm ups. I mean, those people 895 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 1: are crazy. They're intense, and I tell you what they 896 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: know football. They were very knowledgeable about the rules and 897 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: the swings and momentum. It was just a really good 898 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: atmosphere and a really good, knowledgeable crowd. 899 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 2: Watching the game. It looked like they were having so 900 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 2: much fun, not just at the beginning of the game, 901 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 2: but the whole game. They were in it. They were 902 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 2: engaged and they loved the game. So it was neat 903 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 2: seeing that on TV from here back in the States. 904 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: And I like to sing too. 905 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they know everyone everywhere, you know, the American 906 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 2: pop bands. But that's fun though. That makes that makes 907 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 2: the game fun and enjoyable. So that was enjoyable for 908 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 2: me to see that on TV. 909 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's that's I told you this. I 910 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 3: wanted to somehow fit into your luggage to go. I 911 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 3: wanted to be a part of the whole pomp and circumstance. 912 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 3: But no, it's definitely really cool. And it's cool to 913 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 3: see Bjorn because he's one of those guys that we 914 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 3: all remember what happened when he was drafted and how 915 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 3: cool it was having you know, kind of a German 916 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 3: guy here. 917 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 5: We get a little bit of that with you know. 918 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 3: Bernard from from Austria, and you know, he's made a 919 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 3: nice little staple here in Indianapolis. But it is cool 920 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 3: to see Yorn back, for sure, no. 921 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: Doubt about it. All Right, let's close out the podcast here, 922 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Bears. Let's go X's and O's 923 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: Chicago one and one. They're playing here in Indianapolis for 924 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: the first time since twenty sixteen. They're coming off a 925 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: primetime loss to the Houston Texans. They fell to Houston 926 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: nineteen to thirteen on Sunday Night Football in week number two. 927 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: Matt eberfleus his back. He was the defensive coordinator for 928 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: the Colts from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one, and 929 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams makes just his third start, second on the road. Again. 930 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: They're very sluggish on offense. Case he just three hundred 931 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: and fifty five yards total for them through the first 932 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: two games, which ranks fourth for them in terms of 933 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: fewest yards gained in the Super Bowl era on offense, 934 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: second to last in total yards. Rookie quarterback just one 935 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: offensive touchdown on the season, and Caleb Williams has yet 936 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: to throw a touchdown pass so far through two games. 937 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: So is this the week the Colts defense finally gets 938 00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: right Because the Bears don't have a Joe Mixon, they 939 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: don't have a Josh Jacobs. Not downplaying anybody they've got, 940 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: but they don't have that elite back the Colts have 941 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: seen through the first two games. 942 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 3: I think it's definitely the week the Colts kind of 943 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 3: get back on track. You talk about their running back 944 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift, He's coming off a Pro Bowl season, but 945 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 3: he hasn't really found his footing. And another thing that's 946 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: a little shaky is that offensive line of Chicago. Now 947 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 3: take you back to twenty twenty three. I know, justin 948 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 3: fields kind of you know, altered the numbers a little 949 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 3: bit with his scramble ability, but they were the best 950 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 3: run offense in football last year. So it's been a 951 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 3: little surprising to this point at how they can't figure 952 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 3: out this run game. But I do think this is 953 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 3: a week where the Colts kind of get back to 954 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 3: getting right. You're back at home, You're gonna have the 955 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 3: juice of the crowd, and I just think, you know, 956 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 3: I said this to somebody yesterday. I don't remember who 957 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 3: I was talking to, but I was like, I'm really 958 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 3: glad you're facing Caleb Williams in game three compared to 959 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 3: Game thirteen. I take this kind of a little bit 960 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 3: to what we saw in CJ. Stroud in Week two 961 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 3: last year when the Colts played Houston. There were still 962 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 3: some bumps in the road. I think Caleb Williams has 963 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 3: all the talent in the world. He's put it on 964 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,360 Speaker 3: his play in college. You're just kind of waiting for 965 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 3: it to all click, and I think there's still gonna 966 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 3: be some bumps in the road. So I think I'm 967 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 3: really glad the culture getting him now while those bumps 968 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 3: are still happening. You also have a little bit of 969 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 3: the injury concerns in that receiver room because you look 970 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 3: at it just on paper and you've got DJ Moore, 971 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 3: Romo Duneesay, Keenan Allen cole Comet. But they just haven't 972 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 3: been able to get it all to mess yet. And 973 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 3: I still think that it maybe's going to be another 974 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 3: week for them to really get that connection in. 975 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 1: But can the defense do it without DeForest Buckner. 976 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 2: I think they can, I really do. I know we've 977 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 2: talked about the run defense not being that that good, 978 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 2: but you know at Chicago struggling running the ball. DeAndre Swift, 979 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 2: as Casey's has mentioned, is a good running back, but 980 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 2: he just has struggled running the ball and then leading 981 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 2: rusher is Kell Williams right now, because that's many from 982 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 2: scrambling and trying to get away. 983 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 3: Four yards, yes, like Scott exactly, Yeah, I mean, yeah, 984 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 3: exactly if. 985 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 2: He's ning fifty yards or fifty nine something like that. 986 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 2: So I think the Coats can stop them. And the 987 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 2: offensive line has struggled also as far as the Chicago Bear, 988 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 2: so I think our defensive line can get it right. 989 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 2: And to me, like I said before, this is the 990 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: game to get it right. I mean, you're at home 991 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 2: back of Lucas Oil Stadium. You want to turn this 992 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: thing around. You don't want to go zero to three. 993 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 2: It'll be nice to come out of this game one 994 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: and two. And I think our defense can stop the 995 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 2: run and put more pressure on them and then try 996 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 2: to make Camp Williams do something that he hasn't done 997 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 2: yet in the National Football League. Now, he's a good athlete, 998 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 2: he runs around very well, he's mobile, but he's still, 999 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 2: as Case said, he still has some struggles. And I'm 1000 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: glad we're getting him early instead of late. 1001 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: Let's go twelve man on that right, come up on Sunday? 1002 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 4: All right? 1003 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 1: The defense, then, for Chicago, they've held both of their 1004 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 1: opponents to under twenty yards so far in the season. 1005 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: In fact, they've held eight straight opponents to twenty points 1006 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: or less dating back to last year. Since Week twelve 1007 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 1: of last season, the Bear is ranked tied for first 1008 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: in points allowed per game, just sixteen point one points 1009 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: per Can the Colts finally run the ball on the 1010 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: Bears and most importantly, just sustain some time of possession here? 1011 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think running the football is going 1012 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 3: to be the biggest key for me offensively because I 1013 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 3: think when you run the football it it changes things up, 1014 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 3: especially with what Anthony Richardson can do with his legs. 1015 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 3: I know last year or last week, it really wasn't 1016 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 3: in the game plan very much. But I think it's 1017 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 3: one of those things that establishing the run is going to. 1018 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: Be surprised by that. 1019 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 5: I was a little bit surprised. 1020 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 3: But then there also is that, you know, you understand 1021 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 3: that you got seventeen games. Yeah, you want him to 1022 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 3: be healthy, so you're you're dialing back a handful of things. 1023 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 5: And I think ultimately maybe they thought. 1024 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: Certain areas were going to catch twenty two. 1025 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 3: Yes, it is, It absolutely is, and so I really 1026 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 3: think that the run game is going to be on 1027 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 3: point this week, especially the home crowd. This offensive line 1028 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 3: has proven, I mean, they're one of the best run 1029 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 3: blocking teams to this point in the year. I assume 1030 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 3: they're going to keep that rolling. And ultimately the reason 1031 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 3: I think it's it's so key is the Bears defense. 1032 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,399 Speaker 3: It's highlighted by the secondary. Montes Sweat is very very 1033 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 3: talented up front, but they're they're you know, big number 1034 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 3: of guys if you will, are in the back end 1035 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 3: with your you know, Kevin Byrons and Tyreek Stevenson and 1036 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson. I mean, these guys are studs on the 1037 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 3: back end. So the less you have to force the 1038 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 3: ball down the field airily and make you use your 1039 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 3: running running attack at your advantage. 1040 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,359 Speaker 5: I think that is where it's going to be key. 1041 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you run the ball and then hopefully, as you said, Casey, 1042 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 2: you run the ball enough, run the ball enough, run 1043 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 2: the ball enough they come up, cheat they cheat up, 1044 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 2: and then maybe you get that big explosive play that 1045 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 2: we saw in the first game. You know, maybe it's 1046 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 2: Alco over the top, or maybe it's Ada Mitchell Josh downs, 1047 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,240 Speaker 2: you know, if he plays this week. So I think 1048 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 2: the Coats if they can run the ball, and let's 1049 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,919 Speaker 2: face it, we've all said that coming into this year 1050 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 2: that you know, having JT and Anthony Richardson back there, 1051 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 2: that's where our bread is buttered at ye you know, 1052 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 2: So that's what we need to do is get the 1053 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 2: ball to those guys. Get the ball in the hands 1054 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: so they can make some big plays. Established to run. 1055 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 2: The offensive line does a nice job of blocking, get 1056 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 2: JT going, maybe get Ar a few runs there, and 1057 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 2: then bang hit him over the top with a big 1058 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 2: play action pass maybe on second or third down, and 1059 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,919 Speaker 2: then you know what game hopefully will be in our favor. 1060 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 1: Question for both of you as we wrap up, how 1061 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,399 Speaker 1: much better we just got done saying it that it's 1062 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,959 Speaker 1: not all, you know, the offensive struggles, it doesn't all 1063 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: go on to the quarterbacks shoulders. But that being said, 1064 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: how much better does Anthony Richardson need to be in 1065 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: Game three in order for the Colts to get a win? 1066 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 2: He has to be better? I mean, let's face, I mean, 1067 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,200 Speaker 2: we want we kind of expected the ups and downs 1068 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 2: with UH this season as for us with Anthony Richardson, 1069 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 2: but he has to be better. I mean, in order 1070 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 2: for him to develop to the quarterback that everyone thinks 1071 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 2: he can be, he has to be He has to 1072 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 2: take care of the ball a little bit better. He 1073 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 2: has to maybe make throws a little bit more catchuble 1074 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 2: for the guys to catch the ball at this time. 1075 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 2: So I think he has to be better now. I 1076 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 2: think he will get better. He's someone that takes a 1077 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 2: lot of pride in what he's doing out there in 1078 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 2: the football field. I think he wants to get better, 1079 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 2: of course, and he works hard at it. So I 1080 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 2: think he will get better. I'm not really worried about that, 1081 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 2: but he does definitely have to be better now. 1082 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 5: I agree. 1083 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,479 Speaker 3: I don't mean this to come off negatively or at all. 1084 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 3: I think we've seen a different Anthony Richardson through a 1085 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 3: couple of weeks. For what he has kind of displayed 1086 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 3: to the media, I'm not saying it in a bad way. 1087 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 3: I feel like during camp, you know, it's lighthearted a 1088 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 3: little bit. You know, you're smit He's dialed in. So 1089 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 3: I think that is one of the things that right 1090 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 3: now I'm seeing kind of that maturity level already go 1091 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 3: and how angry he and frustrated he was after last 1092 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 3: week and his performance. I kind of piggyback off what 1093 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 3: Bill said. You know, he's dedicated to his craft. He's 1094 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 3: a guy who wants to get better every single time 1095 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 3: he goes out there. I feel like we have seen 1096 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 3: a little bit more of that sense of urgency from him. 1097 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 3: So I'm just only anticipating it just continuing to go up. 1098 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 3: But absolutely he needs to be better for sure. 1099 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, one last thing to close out, just him passing 1100 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: take advantage of the Bear's shaky offenses line. Given nine 1101 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: sacks so far, Caleb Williams has already been sacked a ton. 1102 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,359 Speaker 1: I think his sack percentage is twelve percent in terms 1103 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: of all of his dropbacks. So get after this unit 1104 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: and maybe this is the game the Colts pass rush 1105 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: gets back on track. Four sacks, ten quarterback hits in 1106 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: week one. Unfortunately, no sacks in week two. 1107 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to say last week it was like 1108 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,240 Speaker 3: thirty four quarterback hits the w forty odd dropbacks, I mean. 1109 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 1: Hit, thirty seven pass attempts and thirty six pressures. There 1110 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: you go. 1111 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 3: I mean, so ultimately, get him thinking. You want him 1112 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 3: thinking more. The more he's thinking and he's questioning everything, 1113 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 3: he's a little bit more scared. That's the best you're 1114 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 3: gonna get him. And that's what the Colts, that's what 1115 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 3: the Colt stefensive line to do. Make sure you're pressuring 1116 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: this guy, make him go through his progressions even faster 1117 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 3: and make him I hate to be this way, but 1118 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 3: make him be a rookie. 1119 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 2: And and and also what happens a lot of times 1120 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 2: with those young quarterbacks is you know, when you're pressure 1121 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 2: him a lot, you hit him a lot. Instead of 1122 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 2: looking downfield, he's looking Yes, he's looking up at that 1123 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 2: line and saying, where where's the pressure coming from? Yeah, 1124 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 2: what do I need to avoid? And not looking down 1125 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,280 Speaker 2: feel against the defense and seeing what type of coverage 1126 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 2: they're playing. So I think the guys get after him. 1127 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,359 Speaker 2: I think we'll see some good things from the Colts. 1128 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: That's the busiest man on game Day. Bill Brooks tell 1129 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: us what it's like to be you the marathon of 1130 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 1: game Day because you are a free game you're watching 1131 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: the game, you're taking copious notes.
