00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, but it's a fun little game,

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: matake Matt Taylor voice cold its Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: a shower. Here we go. Let me tell you what's

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: going on right now For the next oh I'd say

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: forty five every an hour or so. We are going

22
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: to discuss the first week of the Colts OTAs. Wrapping

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: up this week. Kenny Moore. Some people are calling a holdout. Yeah,

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm calling it a sit out because he's in the building.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: He's watching practice, kind of sitting out to the side.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Some offseason quarterback burning questions we're gonna answer, and we're

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Nick Foles, the big Man, and I

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: do mean the big Man. He will be coming in

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: the studio to say hello. And again, we got some

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Indie five hundred Colts comparisons at the end of the show.

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: After all, it is the greatest spectacle in racing. Let's

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: go to the Colts defensive secondary and of course when

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: you talk about that, they got some good ones back.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: They're led by Kenny Moore. Matey. I called it a

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: sit out, not a holdout. He is watching the OTA's

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: going right now, but he is not participating in practice

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: due to the contract is some issues he's having with

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: his contract brother. He has two years remaining on said contract.

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: It's very rare and ris ballard era to see a

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: player sit out, even during the voluntary part of the offseason. Program,

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: let alone training camp, etc. I can't think of another

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: time it's half Seriously, are we worried? Should we be

43
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: worried about Kenny Moore in this sitdown? You know, because

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: we are We're a few months away from getting to

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Graham Park. Where are we at? Yeah? I don't. I

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: don't think he should be worried. You know, obviously we're

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: still in the voluntary part of the off season program.

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: The mandatory mini camp is coming up in early June

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, and if he doesn't take

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: part and that that's when you know, things would escalate

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: into a holdout of sorts. But he's been one of

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the best cornerbacks in the game since twenty seventeen, and

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: he's shown his versatility. He can play nickel, he can

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: play on the outside. He doesn't leave the field. I

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: mean he plays over ninety percent of the snaps in

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: each of the last four years, including ninety seven percent

57
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: of the snaps last year. You know, he's got great

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: value led the NFL and tackles among all cornerbacks last year.

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: He's got four picks in each of the last couple

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: of seasons. He can rack up sacks, he can blitz

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: off the edge. So, Jeffrey, you know this about me.

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a big I'm not a big contract slash

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: business guy. I sort of stay out of that. But

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: I do know this. When Kenny Moore signed his contract

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, it was a big contract for someone

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: who at that point played mostly Nickel. Was an undrafted

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: guy with just two years under his belt. Sure, and

68
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: at that time only one year as a full time starter.

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: But I think it's fair to say that he's outplayed

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: that contract with what he's shown the last couple of years.

71
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: So how does this get resolved? I mean, how serious

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: is this? I mean, if Kenny doesn't partake in many

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: camp I think that'll give us our answer. But I

74
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: think I think both sides have a point. Kenny Moore

75
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: feels like he's outplayed his deal. He reportedly has a

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: new agent now. The Colts gave him a fair deal

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, at that time Kenny signed it. You know,

78
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if Herner in the league when he's

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: at that time. Yeah, so I don't know if the

80
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: Colts are gonna want to, you know, set a precedent

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and renegotiating a deal with multiple seasons still on it.

82
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, I doubt Chris Ballard is interested in doing

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: that um at least initially, because of the message it

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: could send to the rest of the locker room. So

85
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting to see if this graduates to,

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: like you said, a holdout in mini camps. I'm sure

87
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: something will be resolved. Kenny Moore slowly through his career,

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: like you said, undrafted free agent, you know, had to

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: use with the Patriots for a while and training camp

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Colt scooped him up and it's been you know, he

91
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: hasn't looked back since, so I understand what you're saying.

92
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: But with two years left on the contract, that's when

93
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: it becomes a slippery slope. So we're gonna lead that

94
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: to Chris Ballard and the financial guys up in the

95
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: front office up there to get it done. All I

96
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: know is this, we need best players on the field,

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: and Kenny Moore is one of them. So yeah, I'm

98
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: sure this thing's gonna work itself out. Now we're saying

99
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: hello to some new people around here. Obviously, some of

100
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: the drivers that are gonna be going this weekend in

101
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the Indie five hundred. They're familiar with Indianapolis because they

102
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: work here, and you know, even some of the new

103
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: guys from Europe. Well, welcome Nick Foles to the neighborhood

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: because he is here, he is moving here, He's got

105
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: his family with him here, and he is officially a cult. Okay.

106
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I love the signing. Love Nick Foles for a long time,

107
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: been that guy, Matt that that he's that underdog guy,

108
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: especially when he saw it when he won the title

109
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: with the Eagles coming in for you know, a relief

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: duty of an injured Carson Wentz and then going on

111
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: an incredible run. I love the fact that Nick Voles

112
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: is in the Frank Reich Barn of quarterbacks because of

113
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: what they had in the past. He's a great guy.

114
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: Clyde Christensen, a friend of the show, you know, a

115
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: long time NFL coach, raves about what he brings to

116
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: the locker room, another leadership voice in this sort of thing.

117
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: So it's such a win win. Don't go anywhere. We're

118
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna be coming up with Nick Voles in a minute.

119
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna stop by and say, but Mattey, what are

120
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: you thinking on this thing? The relationship with Frank Reich

121
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard. He and Ballard spend time together when

122
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: he was in Kansas City before Chris Ballard came over here.

123
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: So he knows the front office, he knows the head coaches.

124
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: But we're getting a guy that is literally will be

125
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: remembered in the history of the annals of NFL history

126
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: for the run that they had to win the Super Bowl.

127
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: And of course, Matt, I'm talking about the Philly Special,

128
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: the play heard round the world out dueling, you know,

129
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the Patriots and that Super Bowl. I mean,

130
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: it's an epic game. But yeah, as far as the

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Colts and their prioritization, if that's the right word to

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: bring in a veteran quarterback this offseason, I think the

133
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: Colts would have liked to have brought in a veteran

134
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: quarterback this entire time, but they weren't just going to

135
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: do it. To do it, it had to be the

136
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: right guy at the right time, at the right price.

137
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: So I think this move Jeffrey again proves that or

138
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: shows that the Colts are in a win now window.

139
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: They've got a sense of urgency about this upcoming season.

140
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: Everything they've done this offseason has been about addressing areas

141
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: of need in a big way, and if for some

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: reason Matt Ryan goes down, which historically he does not,

143
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: they don't want this season to be sacrificed. There's a

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: great roster on hand. There's a good chance this team

145
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: can do something special, and if for some reason a

146
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old quarterback and Matt Ryan can't play,

147
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: they know Nick Foles can. He can come in and

148
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: win games and keep the Colts end games, especially given

149
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: his history doing just that with Frank rich in Philadelphia.

150
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely here is coach Frank rich on the Colts wanting

151
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: to bring in a veteran quarterback all off season long.

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: You know what Chris and I said was, yeah, in

153
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: a perfect world, we get a proven backup, but if

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, we're not going to chase it. We're

155
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: not going to overpay for you know, We're not gonna

156
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: do something crazy that could hurt the team long term.

157
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: You guys know, I wanted Nick. I mean I wanted

158
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: Nick since I've been here to be on this team

159
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: because I think he's that good of a player and

160
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: I think he's the perfect backup quarterback. So it literally

161
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: fell into our lap. We didn't chase it. If it

162
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't have worked out, we would have been happy with Sam.

163
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: But we're really happy we got Nick. Love it, love

164
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: the familiarity with it, Love the relationship they had. Can

165
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: I just add one thing transition and next thing. I

166
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: give Mike Chappell credit for this. And I read it.

167
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: I read it the other day and was blown away.

168
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: And he's exactly right. I mean, the Colts they traded

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Carson Winston March at that point. Matt Ryan really wasn't

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: on the radar. They didn't know he was going to

171
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: be available. Right. You can thank the Falcons for you know,

172
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: pursuing Deshaun Watson for that. Thanks to Cleveland for listening

173
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, right, you know what I'm saying that, And

174
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan gets sniff into that, and so then what's

175
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: going on here? Right? And then the Bears released Nick

176
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Foles three weeks ago, the Colts pounce on him. So

177
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Mike Chappell had this and a span of about two

178
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: and a half months or so, the Colts quarterback room

179
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: has gone from zero starts, zero passes thrown in the NFL.

180
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, Sam Ellinger, like if he didn't make any

181
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: of these moves, Sam Ellinger would be you know QB

182
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: one if you will. So you go from zero starts,

183
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: no passes thrown in the NFL to two hundred and

184
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: seventy eight starts, over seventy three thousand yards, two Super

185
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances, and one World Championship. One guy won an

186
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: MVP of the Super Bowl. Another guy's been the MVP

187
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: of the league. How about that man and half months

188
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: and Nick Foles has fifty six career starts and you're

189
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: talking about two thirty seven. Did you say just look

190
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: at two hundred and seventy eight, two seventy eight rather

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: than come and I'm talking that's over two hundred for

192
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, who, as you know, is the leader of

193
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: this captain of this ship here right now, and it's

194
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: been getting rave reviews as far as the coaching staff

195
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: and teammates go, as far as what Matt Ryan brings

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: on the field, to the playbook, and of course most

197
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: importantly the leadership. These guys know what they have there.

198
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: So that brings us to some burning time. And I'm

199
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: not talking about JMV who's out at the cool Claude

200
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: at Carveday right now, because he's about to soil himself

201
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: as though as a burning feeling. I'm not talking about that.

202
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm talking about quarterback burning questions. Maytay Cools

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: training cats. My guy, come on, we gotta give jamb

204
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hard time. Colch training camp

205
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: two months away. Okay, we're gonna answer a series of

206
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: these questions leading up to it today. We're gonna start

207
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks. Mattey, you're up. What do you think

208
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: the passing game is gonna look like next season with

209
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan at the quarterback position. I'm just gonna ask

210
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: you right out. Is it fifty fifty run pass? Is

211
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: it sixty forty pass run? I mean, we do have

212
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: the finus running back in the NFL behind, you know,

213
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, right think, Yeah, that's a good starting point.

214
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor rushing for eighteen hundred yards and averaging you know,

215
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: twenty three carries per game. That's not necessarily a good

216
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: thing for the parts coming up next season. I think

217
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: this passing game is gonna be fun. I think it's

218
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: gonna be quick rhythm, ball out, fast, quick diagnosis from

219
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, get the ball into playmaker's hands and go

220
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: yards after catch. Elite level accuracy. I think Matt Ryan

221
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: is destined for another forty two hundred yard twenty five

222
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: touchdown season. I think the passing game is gonna be

223
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: a lot healthier than it was last season. You've got

224
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: more playmakers. Admittedly, this week, Frank Reich, when he spoke

225
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: to the media after OTAs on Wednesday, talked about being

226
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: a little bit two run oriented down the stretch with

227
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I think if the Colts are again over

228
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: four thousand yards passing, if that rushing total for Jonathan

229
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: Taylor's more in the thirteen hundred yard range, you know,

230
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: well over a thousand, he's gonna get his big place,

231
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: his big runs. But if you're if you're not as

232
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: dependent on Jonathan Taylor are down the stretch, that's a

233
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: good thing in my opinion, for the Colts to be

234
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: more balanced between the run and the past next season.

235
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: I think that's going to bode well for this offense

236
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: in the passage. Again, here's Frank reich early impressions working

237
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: with Matt Riot. I always knew he was a great passer,

238
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: but like his accuracy, it's it's insane. I mean, it's

239
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: insane accurate, you know, it just reminds me of the

240
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Mannings of the world, the Philip Rivers of the world.

241
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Just as his accuracy. And you know, it's just how

242
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: smart he is, what a natural leader he is, the

243
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: way he thinks of the game. You know, he really

244
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: really keeps it simple. For a guy that's smart, he

245
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: really keeps it simple, and he wants to keep it simple.

246
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: He's a kind of you know, some guys want to

247
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: keep adding to the offense. You know what we you know,

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: Marcus and Matt and I and the rest of the game.

249
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about what can we take out.

250
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's just eliminate the clutter. Let's just get to

251
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: the plays that you know that we like. We build

252
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: a thing over four years now as a chance to reset.

253
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I know we've had a different quarterback every year, but

254
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, Matt matters. Really let's dial it back, get

255
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: good at the basics, and get to know our guys.

256
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: Giddy giddy to say the least out of the head

257
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: coach working with a veteran like that whose presence has

258
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: already been felt to the equipment staff, to the trainers,

259
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: to the you know what I'm saying, not just the teammates,

260
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: the people that work in this building that we're coming

261
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: to you from right now. He's just come in right

262
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: away and heading those comparisons to eighteen. So we're in

263
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: good hands. This guy is not done with football. He's

264
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: got a lot left in him, and I love the

265
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: leadership skills. Okay, listen to this, matey. I know you're

Speaker 1: the veteran. Take a listen. Let's not waste another minute

337
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: in to the studio. Nick Foles, Glad you're here. We've

338
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: watched your career for a lot of times. We have

339
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: mutual friends and stuff, and you talk about a pro

340
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, you want a professional to come in here

341
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: and coming into the backup position behind Matt Ryan. Welcome

342
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. So glad you're here. I just want to

343
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: start off with why. You know we're gonna ask those

344
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: questions why. A lot of people, a lot of teams

345
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: in this in this league are looking for quality guys

346
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: to play the position, starter and backup. But you said

347
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Indianapolis wasn't the Frank Wright connection. You know, that was

348
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I think just this point

349
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: in my career, you know, going in year eleven, it's

350
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: been a wild career, a lot of ups and downs,

351
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: just a lot of different things that I've learned from

352
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: different places I've been, different people I've met, and I

353
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: just got to the point now, you know, we have

354
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: two kids one on the way, and you know, just

355
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: playing football. I just want to go somewhere where you know,

356
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: great culture, great team, obviously a great head coach, someone

357
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: you know Frank and I have a really great relationship

358
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: with someone I saw myself. I've seen myself playing for

359
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: last several years, you know, I've always admired Frank even

360
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: you know, when we're in Philadelphia and then when he

361
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: came here. But it's just the opportunity to come here,

362
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: to be a part of a team that I've watched

363
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: from afar with their culture, and then also you know

364
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan being here, it's great. I think it's a

365
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: great fit. He's a tremendous quarterback. So I'm excited to

366
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: be a part of the room and just help this

367
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: team in any way I can. He's a super Bowl champion,

368
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: He's a super Bowl MVP. How about this one, mate,

369
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: highest completion percentage in the playoffs forever, for as long

370
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: as the league has been around, it's Nick Foles that

371
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: holds that. So a lot of teams are out there

372
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback position. Quarterback position. When you're at this point

373
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: in your career, do you say, hey, I'm gonna I

374
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: want to start. I want to go out there and start.

375
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: And you know what, if you wait around long enough

376
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: in this league, Nick, you know what they're going to

377
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: be that position. But you knew coming here you were

378
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: going to be a backup to, you know, to Matt Ryan.

379
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: How was that process, that thought process of going in

380
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: because you prepare like a starter, and I know day

381
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: one you're ready to go in the game when called on. Yeah,

382
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: I think it just goes back to, you know, where

383
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm at in life right now and what I've learned,

384
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: and the biggest thing, you know, taking this offseason and

385
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: just you know, being at home, just being with the kids,

386
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: being with my wife. Just Tor and I were talking

387
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: through everything and we just realized we just really wanted

388
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: to be in a healthy situation where you know, just

389
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: going to work, like just enjoying the grind, being with

390
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: you know, learning the game, growing in the game. And

391
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: this just was the perfect fit. And sometimes when it's

392
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: the perfect fit, it doesn't happen. It just teams don't

393
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: need it and stuff like that. So I think I

394
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: was just excited that this came to be when it did,

395
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: and I'm just grateful to be here. Let's talk about

396
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: this real quick. Sam ellenans a young guy. He's out

397
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: of out of Texas. I mean, you're a Texas guy.

398
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: He played your high school football there and stuff. And

399
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: the teaching these young quarterbacks, because we've seen other quarterbacks

400
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: around the league. They're saying, hey, I'm here to you know,

401
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: earn my pa check and win games. I'm not here

402
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: to be a teacher. How is that when it comes

403
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: in you got a guy like Ellinger is going to

404
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: look up to Nick Foles and take everything you say

405
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: with a sponge. No, I think you know, there's definitely

406
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like you said that. It's you know, their their

407
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: focuses on them, and that's great. You know, that's how

408
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: they handle their business, that's how they're pros. And I

409
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: have all the respect in the world for them. I actually,

410
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, I love in the QB room, especially with

411
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: younger players, helping them along, teaching if they have questions,

412
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I want to help him because my I'll be long gone,

413
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, watching them play. And my goal by the

414
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: end of is to sit down with my kid and say, hey,

415
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: you know they're Sam or you know when I was Philly,

416
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, and Philly I was with Nate Sudfeld. I'm

417
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: really close with so, you know, watching Nate and everything

418
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: like that. So that's my goal. And then you know,

419
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: coming here, it's actually unique because I'm learning a new

420
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: offensive scheme and so Sam knows more of this than

421
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I do. So I'm asking him questions and he's been

422
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: really helpful. I know the scheme, but just the verbiage

423
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: and everything is all new to me. So he's been

424
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: really helpful. And we both we actually both went to

425
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: the same high school in Westlake. Yeah, that's right. And uh,

426
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Kylan Granson, no Drew or maybe but Drew Breeses. Drew

427
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: Brees is so Drew Brees is ten years older than me,

428
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: and then I'm ten years old. I thought I thought

429
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Kylan Grandson and Sam Elinger were teammates. Yeah, they probably

430
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: high school. So three guys on the same NFL team

431
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: from the same high school football. Yeah, I didn't even

432
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: I didn't even know he went to west So that's crazy. Yeah,

433
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: it's been a while. We well, Nikki, you talk about,

434
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: by the way, Nick Foles is with US Colts quarterback.

435
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: You talk about that relationship with Frank Craik. It was

436
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: so special in Philadelphia. He actually a couple weeks ago

437
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: presented you the Call to Courage award in Buffalo. How

438
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: did that come to be, Why was it so special

439
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: and how did you guys sort of you know, hit

440
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: it off right away as you did in Philly. Yeah,

441
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I think the big thing was just just Frank as

442
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: a human being. Um, we just connected right away. Um,

443
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: just how he sees life. Um, you know, obviously his

444
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: faith in Christ. I was taking seminary classes at the

445
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: time and he went through seminary so he was actually

446
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: wanting to see my papers. So I was more nervous

447
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: to giving him my papers and I was given my professor.

448
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: But he was really helpful through that process. Yeah, he

449
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: obviously is one of the greatest, if not the greatest

450
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: backup to ever play the game, So he understands what

451
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: it's like in that position, because it's different than being

452
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: the starter. And I've been in both, so I've seen it.

453
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: But I think just the connection there and just the

454
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: respect I have for him as like a human being,

455
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: and how he just always handled our room and our

456
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: team in Philadelphia, and then obviously keeping it in touch

457
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: with him since so the opportunity to come here and

458
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: be here to play for him as a head coach,

459
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for. What about the coaching aspect of that

460
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: relationship with you XS and O's wise, you know that

461
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: it's it's that that famous story in twenty seventeen where

462
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: you guys almost put in a not a new playbook,

463
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: but a different set of plays to fit your strength.

464
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: What was it about his ability to do that and

465
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: sort of put you at ease that that helped you

466
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: in that process. Yeah, I think there's just different philosophies

467
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: and coaching summer. You know, they run their offense and

468
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: that's how it is, and you know, we had an

469
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: offensive scheme. But what I was really appreciative of the

470
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: coaches and Philadelphia as a whole, and Frank in particular,

471
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: as they went back to my film when we were

472
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: lighting up the league in twenty thirteen and just like

473
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: what were we doing? And then he was able you know,

474
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: we were running plays that we had sort of in

475
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the offense in Philly, but he was able to, you know,

476
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: build the offense around who I am as a player.

477
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: And we went out to practice one day when we

478
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: had a buye week before the playoffs, because that's when

479
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: we sort of adjusted everything, and he's like, we're not

480
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: going to talk to you. You just play, You do

481
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: the reads, you do whatever you want to do. You

482
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: play with your instinct since you see what happens. I

483
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: had a wristband with all the plays on it. No

484
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: coach talk to me. The entire practice nice and it

485
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: was an amazing, and I was making throws like and

486
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: I all of a sudden started going unconscious, like just

487
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: seeing everything, feeling everything, and something started coming back to

488
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: me that I had felt in thirteen, which you know,

489
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: it was my basically my instincts my basketball playing, like

490
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: just feeling the game and understanding the game and playing fast.

491
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: And in the Atlantic game, in the first playoff game

492
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: we played it, I think it was like the second

493
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: half of everything just started clicking and we had a

494
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: lot of completions. Then the rest is history after that,

495
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: but it just showed me that the game of football

496
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: was so much fun. There was always answers. I enjoyed

497
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: playing it. It was so much fun playing the game.

498
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: We were never out of the game, and that feeling

499
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: is not always there based on where you are, what

500
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: team you play for. So I'm very blessed that in

501
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: my career I've been able to feel that several years.

502
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: And you know, no matter what, when I finished playing

503
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: the game, I'm just grateful that I was able to

504
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: feel that while playing the game. That's Nick Voles, Colts quarterback.

505
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about what you're gonna do here,

506
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, your career. We'll be talking about it for

507
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, years from now, because we don't know what

508
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: this season holds and how much playing time you get.

509
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: But I want to go back to what you did do,

510
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: and that was get a locker room behind you in

511
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: seventeen after the quarterback Carson Wentz goes down in Philadelphia.

512
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: You had to earn their trust and they did and

513
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: you went on a run That'll be people to talk

514
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: about for one hundred years. As far as winning that championship,

515
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: getting that trust from your teammates as a backup at

516
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: that time, how important is that to you? And Number

517
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: two is tell me about Philly Special because that you know,

518
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: that play is linked here in Indianapolis with you and

519
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Frank Rank and stuff. But I and Trey Burton and

520
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Trey Burton Press Taylor too. That's true. So you got

521
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: the whole game. We just need Corey Clement to come

522
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: over here. Um. But I think I think the big

523
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: thing I'll start. I guess I'll just start with the

524
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Philly Special. Um. You know that being you know, being

525
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: such a unique play and Frank and Press and everything.

526
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Just having the confidence to put it in and run

527
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: it is really special. Um. And then tell me your

528
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: first part question. But you but you again, because we

529
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: saw the video, You're like, yeah, let's roll with it.

530
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, you had to be in on that as

531
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: well as the quarterback of this offense and go, you

532
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: know what, it is the biggest game of our careers.

533
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah. I think the thing that I always

534
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: like to talk about that in that situation you saw

535
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: a head coach trust is quarterback and that's huge in

536
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: this league. Um, when you have a good relationship between

537
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: the play caller and the quarterback to where it's a

538
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: it's a really tough situation, fourth and one in the

539
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: biggest game of anyone's life, and uh, I go over

540
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: there and I feel a play that's not a normal play.

541
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: It's a very unique play where I'm going down on

542
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: a rout out and he has the confidence in me

543
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: to say yes, like Doug could have chosen another play,

544
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: but he didn't. And that's something I remember playing and

545
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: even with Frank, I just when a quarterback understands it

546
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: like they have the opportunity to override it like they're

547
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: the headball coach. But I think it's great when you

548
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: can get the trust of your coach and that's a

549
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: trust I want to talk about with your teammates because

550
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: as a backup, you go, hey, I gotta get these

551
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: guys behind me. If tragedy strikes to our starter, then

552
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm in there and I'm the guy. Whether you like

553
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: it or not, Nick Foles, you know this better than anybody.

554
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: You're a leader once you signed with that football team,

555
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: if you're playing the quarterback position, no doubt, no doubt.

556
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: And I think in Philadelphia with the leadership in the

557
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: locker room, I think a big part of that too was,

558
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: you know, being drafted there and playing three seasons, and

559
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: obviously we went through a lot in my rookie year

560
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, the second year was a record

561
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: breaking year and we had a really good year. So

562
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: I played with a lot of those guys. In the

563
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: third year, you know, we are six and two and

564
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: I broke a carbone again on my throwing shoulder, and

565
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: I went down. I was out the rest of the season.

566
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: So I had been with those guys and we had

567
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: played at a high level, and I got to know

568
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: them as people most importantly. So when that happened in seventeen,

569
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: it was just stepping in a huddle with some guys

570
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: I was familiar with some that were new, and we

571
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: just sort of we've been there before. And I think

572
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: the big thing is just going in doing your job,

573
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: but getting to know your teammates as best you can.

574
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many people in these buildings, and

575
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: if you're not here for multiple years, it's hard to

576
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: get to know everyone well. But I was fortunate in

577
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia where it was, you know, like a family. I

578
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: got to know them all, and you know, I had to,

579
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, a sinner and Jason Kelsey, who's the best.

580
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: And nobody thought you were going to win, by the way.

581
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: None yeah, including us in Indy said no, the great team,

582
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna win it. But you guys just

583
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: kept proving the naysayers. Yeah. Wait, I think we were

584
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: first round by and we were like the least feared

585
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: team and it was because of me, and you know that.

586
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. We had a great team, and

587
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: I think that we showed that we had a great team.

588
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: We had great coaches, and that's what this game is about.

589
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: What's everyone. And I think we make it so much.

590
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks a big position. We know that, um, he

591
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: runs the ship, but you can't do without your teammates,

592
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: and you can't do it with your coaches. Everyone's got

593
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: to be on the same page. And I think, if

594
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: I say anything throughout my whole career, what I've learned

595
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: is as long as everyone can be sync and they

596
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: care about each other and not themselves, I think it

597
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: becomes really I love that selfless selfless gets his victors. Yep. Hey, Nick,

598
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: you talk about Frank Reich and and and the Colts, Well,

599
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: what do you think it means for the Colts to

600
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: bring you in here? It's it's got a chance to

601
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: be a really good team, a really good roster. It

602
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: needs good options at quarterback. Should something happen to one guy,

603
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: they still need somebody to come in and win football

604
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: games that has experience doing it just as you do.

605
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: Is that how you look at this opportunity coming in

606
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: here and joining this roster. That's that's sort of ready

607
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: to go and ready to win right now? Yeah. I

608
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: think the big thing too, um with you know, Frank

609
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: bringing me in and Chris bringing me in, um, was

610
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: they know that I'm gonna be Matt Ryan's biggest fan,

611
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be right there for him. It's it's

612
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: about getting him read it's about him. You know, he's

613
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: the leader of the team. He's doing it. It's really great,

614
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: great watching him work because I've never I've played against Matt,

615
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: but I've never been on the same team, So even

616
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: being here a few days and seeing how he conducts

617
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: himself in meetings with the guys that practice, watching him

618
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball, I'm always trying to learn. I don't

619
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: have all the answers, I don't have all the throws

620
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: like watching, so I'm watching all these different techniques. So

621
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm here to help in any role I can be in.

622
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, last year, Chicago, for some reason made me

623
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: the three and the Good Lord did a lot of

624
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: work on my heart in that position, but I'm grateful

625
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: for it. I got to be in that role with

626
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, Andy and Justin and be there with my teammates,

627
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: and we made the most of the year as best

628
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: we could. So to be here, my goal is to

629
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: help the room, help the young guys, and be there

630
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: with Matt, be a sounding board if he needs it,

631
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: but be let him know, like while he's playing, like

632
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: he's got a guy right there that's got his back

633
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: and his cheering him on. Immediately one of the leaders

634
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: of this Colts offense is Colts locker room. Is Nick

635
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Voles coming in his veteran leadership obviously with Matt Ryan.

636
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this year to happen. What have

637
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 1: you seen? You only been here for a minute, But

638
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: what have you seen? You got some guys out there.

639
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, he said, you know what Jonathan Taylor can do.

640
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: You don't have t Y Hilton anymore, any veterans, some

641
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: new guys, young guys on the offenses, specifically in the

642
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. So far, so good. What have you seen? Yeah,

643
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn everyone's names. That's always the hardest

644
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: part with a transition. But I'd say as a whole,

645
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: you see guys that, um, you know, we have big receivers,

646
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: big tight ends, which is great. Um, great running backs,

647
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: old line's doing a nice job. Mass conducting the offense well. Um.

648
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: But I think the big thing, just big pictures. You

649
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: see a team that practice as well together, that that

650
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: works hard, that cares about U the little things and

651
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: wants to correct them, And then I think it's really great,

652
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, just in the in the meeting rooms, just

653
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: learning football, the teaching of it the why what are

654
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: we doing? The answers. Um, it's really great. I'm excited

655
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: every day I come into work. I've only been here,

656
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: this is my first week. But um, there's been a

657
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: lot of extra work for me just catching up the speed.

658
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: But I go to bed at night excited to come

659
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: in and that's a big thing. Nick Foles joins us here,

660
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: so happy that you're here. But I want to ask

661
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: you this, and we'll let you go. A guy of

662
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: your pro I mean, all you know everything, super Bowl champion,

663
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl MVP. Do you still get nervous? Do you

664
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: still get butterflies? You're coming into a new environment, a

665
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: new locker room, new faces. Does Nick Foles still say

666
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I gotta take a breath. I let God go in

667
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: first and I follow behind. I mean, that's really it.

668
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a transition. I think I was

669
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: talking to a friend this offseason and I was just

670
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: talking to him about the journey, and he's like, you know,

671
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: each time you transition, you know, it's it's a culture shock.

672
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: He's like, he's a missionary, He's been a missionary. He's like,

673
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: anytime I go to a new place, it's it's six

674
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: months to a year, and it's a culture shock until

675
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: you adjust. So you gotta give yourself grace because a

676
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: lot of times you go into a new position, you

677
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: just want everything to click. Yeah, right, And that was

678
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: a really great conversation. So coming into this situation, I

679
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: felt really comfortable. I wanted to be here and it

680
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: just worked out. And I'm grateful for the Lord for

681
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: allowing me to be here. But yeah, you're exactly right,

682
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: just letting faith take control and just stepping in. I

683
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: think the big thing is just do my job. Coming here, work,

684
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: get to know the guys, and just enjoy it because

685
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, this is most likely

686
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: the matter part of my career, and I just really

687
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: want to look back and just be like, you know,

688
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: the last several years, we're really enjoyable. I love going

689
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: to work. It's gonna be a grind, it's gonna be

690
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: hard work, it is. But as long as you love

691
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: the grinding, you enjoy it. Um, that's what it's all about.

692
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: And obviously give all gored to go. All right. Well,

693
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: this weekend, yes, absolutely, and this weekend there's a big

694
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: race here an Indiana guy. Now, whether you like it

695
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: or not, there's a big Indianapolis five hundred. By the way,

696
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: I said this command. I said this as soon as

697
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: Nick walked in. I go, guy, he's sneaky big. I mean,

698
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: this is a large man. We're talking about playing the

699
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: quarterback position. So with that said, I'm sorry you couldn't

700
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: fit in an indiecar to take a run around the track.

701
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't, but I can watch it for sure. I

702
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: can't get smart way to do it. Yeah, exactly, Nick Foles,

703
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: one of the leaders of this cult so early, that's right,

704
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: Indiana guys appreciate the time. Can't wait to watch what

705
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: you do. Can't wait to watch you lead the young guys.

706
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: If the time comes through the field, we know what

707
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: you can do. They're so happy that you're here. Nick Foles,

708
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you all for having me big. Thanks

709
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: to Nick Foles. Love the guy. Just the guys. Guy

710
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: been in the league for ten years. It seems like

711
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: a guy you rake leads with. He like a regular guy,

712
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: But he does not look like a regular guy. To

713
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: your point, he is deceptively big. He's a giant. He

714
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: came in here and filled out the room easily. Dio Dangbo,

715
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: another guy fills out to him. I'm not calling him

716
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: folds like a dio, but when these guys come in

717
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: the room, DeForrest Buckner, I mean, you couldn't see the light.

718
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, and he's obviously a very very

719
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: good quarterback, and it's awesome to have him in the

720
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: fold here with the Colts. Love his attitude too. Knows

721
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: what he is when he's coming in. I'm a back

722
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: up to Matt Ryan, and the Colts are in good

723
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: position when it comes to chant. He knows what he's

724
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: here to do. Love it all right. After a quick

725
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: time out, we're gonna give you the Forum Credit Union

726
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: question of the Week regarding Colts and one thousand yard

727
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: receivers that they've had. We're also gonna make some Indie

00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: five hundred Colts comparisons before the big race this Sunday

729

Speaker 1: at the Motor Speedway. This is the Last Word, Matt Taylor,

740
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: you're all over. I've never seen Kings of Kings of Chaos.

741
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: I should say. Easier for me to say, right, I

742
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: wish I would have been out there today for you.

743
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,120

Speaker 1: and roll adventures back in the day, Flash, I have

747
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: no one else other than Slash back in the day

748
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles who knew a couple of people that I

749
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: knew and stuff. So the Crows, the Crows never did

750
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: a twin bill with that and Roses, No, no, no,

751
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: Black Crows never did nothing. But they were friends with

752
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: them and Slashes. And I'll say this sweetest man darround

753
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: really oh, just an angel, a sweetheart of a guy.

754
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Slash very nice, doesn't you know, has an imposing look

755
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: on that when he's on stage, and now he's just

756
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: a yeah he does. He does look intimidating, but he's not.

757
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: He's a football fan too, so I mean, oh really, yeah,

758
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: it's great. Who's his team? I think he's probably Dallas

759
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,279

791
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: John don't soil yourself. But while you're walking, find this answer.

792
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: Okay from our friends at Forum Credit Union. It's a

793
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: question of the week. Michael Pittman, Junior, and don't forget

794
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: second round pick from the previous NFL draft, Alec Pierce.

795
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: They could form a real nice wide receiver tandem for

796
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: the Colt next season. Pittman, he's coming off his first

797
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: one thousand yards season last year in twenty twenty one. Now,

798
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: when was the last time the Colts had two I say,

799
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: two pass catchers go over one thousand receiving yards in

800
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: the same season. And I will say this, keywords in

801
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: that question pass catchers. Why are those keywords? Well, because

802
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: you could have a pass catcher who plays a wide

803
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: receiver position. You could have a pass catcher that plays

804
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: a running back position. You could have a pass catcher

805
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: that's a tight end. So not necessarily two wide receivers,

806
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: not necessarily two ride receivers. Even though we opened with

807
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Pittman and Pierce are gonna be a nice tandem. Last

808
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: time the Colts had two pass catchers go over a

809
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: thousand receiving yards in the same season. Give me the

810
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: year before you gave me the hint on the pass catchers.

811
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I was going, I was gonna go like two twelve,

812
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. I thought, initially, Reggie Wayne and t Y

813
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: Hilton kind of close, kind of close Reggie Wayne. Yes,

814
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think Reggie was. He probably wasn't over

815
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: a thousand yards those seasons though, two thousand and nine

816
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: may tay Reggie Wayne, and watch this, Dallas Clark, the

817
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: iron Man, Dallas Clark each one over a thousand yards

818
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: that season in two thousand and nine. You have to

819
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 1: go back to two thousand and six for the last

820
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: time the team had two wide receivers Wayne and Marvin

821
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: Harrison accomplish that feat. So good stuff going as far

822
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: as the wide receivers and Reggie six Colts wide receiver

823
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: coach can be in the Hall of Fame next year.

824
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: Good job. Don't forget Reggie is on our coaching staff. People,

825
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: people tend to forget that a little bit. We've got Reggie.

826
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm hoping the chance in the corner are every

827
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: week just like when he played here. Hey, listen, when

828
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 1: when Michael Pittman Junior scores a touchdown, Reggie Wayne's gonna

829
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: be like at the numbers on the field, jumping up

830
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: and down and giving those helmet slaps. Absolutely all right,

831
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: listen up, fans, you can you can go onto the

857
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: middle of row seven. He knows how to work his

Speaker 1: Naimhin ready for a major jump in production. From two

865
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty one to two twenty two, new quarterback

866
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,760

Speaker 1: twenty one, he went from sixty three catches down to forty.

868
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Fact Frank Reich said that he's a guy that you

869
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,759

872
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,879

873
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: set for a big year in terms of yards from scrimmage.

874
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: So Alexander Rossi and Naimhin, all right, I'm gonna be

875
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: pretty flat across the board. Played the chalk on this answer.

876
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to the racing, my guy's Eddie Carpenter. Okay,

877
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: all right, that's my guy. He's starting fourth though, I know,

00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 1: the BIG's gonna start. I've got a great chance to start.

884
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: Got seventeen weeks where YEH be counting on you, not

885
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: this spot duty stuff. And this guy's injured. So you

886
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: go in, Danny Pinner. People are talking about you because

887
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: this is one of the most feared offensive lines in

888
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: the league as far as going up against defensive lineman.

889
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: So Danny Pinner, all eyes are on you. Like those

890
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: those are good, not bad. Right, Let's go to number two.

891
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: Don't count them out in twenty twenty two. Go start

892
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: with your IndyCar driver. Don't count them out in twenty two,

893
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: and then give me your Colts player. All right, IndyCar guy,

894
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: don't count them out. How can you count out the

895
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: four time champ Castornevis? Count him out? You know he

896
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: had a bad qualifying days twenty seventh on the grid.

897
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: But I read this the other day on Elio castron

898
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: Nevis has four wins and twenty one starts at the

899
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: Indianapolis five hundred Jeffrey Right. He's also had three runner ups,

900
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: and all three of those runner ups rank among the

901
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: closest finishes in the history of the event. So if

902
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: you combine those results, Elio Castroneves is point five six

903
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: zero one seconds from being a seven time champ at

904
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Ooh, he's like Nicholas with second

905
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: place finishes in major Yeah, he's like half a second

906
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: away from winning three more on top of the four.

907
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: Would be the best driver of all times, he said

908
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: the Speedway. Well, I know, but even with this record

909
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 1: and not the wins even but I'm saying, you're talking

910
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: about seven seconds or whatever. It is less than that,

911
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: less than a half a second half, Yeah, exactly. So

912
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying put him down right there, don't con him out.

913
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Elio, how about the Colt side,

914
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: So Kylan Grandson, We've been talking about Jilani Woods and

915
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Drew Ogletree, and don't count out Kylan Grandson. He was

916
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: a rookie last year, only had eleven catches. Don't count

917
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: him out. I know that the cults are high on

918
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: the guys they just brought in, But Kylan Grants is

919
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: chop liver. The Colts drafted him for a reason, and

920
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: they like what he can do lining up in multiple

921
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: places in this office. Love it. Don't count them out.

922
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, for my IndyCar driver, I'm gonna

923
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: go on a stretch on this one and say, um

924
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: Ed Carpenter, Yeah, don't count him out. He's been around.

925
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Betty mean, Eddie's been around. The team's been around.

926
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: He got his own team. Jeffrey was driving. Do you

927
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: need a list of drivers? No, I don't, I need

928
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: thirty other Ed listens to the show. By the way,

929
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: he's at the track right now in his trail. Okay,

930
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: and I do need sweet tickets right now, but I'm

931
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: sticking with Seddie, Eddie, don't count him out in twenty

932
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: twenty two. He hasn't won one, but he's been around

933
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: and you know he is said, don't count out Ed

934
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: Carpenter and then on the colch Ones. I reached for

935
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: this one because people might scratch your heads because I'm saying,

936
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: don't count out Ashton Dueling, don't count him out. I

937
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: don't think there was anything to count him out because

938
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: he had such an upside in the you know, the

939
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of last year's season. But big size kid,

940
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: great speed, good hands, has showed the remarkable freak athleticism

941
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: that he has quick as a I mean well, I

942
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: think up until now, most people when they hear Ashton

943
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: Dulan's name, they immediately associate him with special I'm not

944
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: doing He's more than that. I'm not doing that. No,

945
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: he will be there and by the way, he's a

946
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl gunner. But on the other side, he can

947
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: catch the football. So folks, just remember what I said.

948
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: We're like, where are wive receivers? Where are they? Ashton

949
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Dulan's in the house among many others. Don't get me wrong,

950
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: but this is a guy who has talent everywhere. So

951
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: that is my guy that I am saying, don't count

952
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: them out. Here we go, mister steady, steady, Freddie Okay,

953
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: who is that person? Yeah, you know what I'm going

954
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: And you'll see. Now I hate my answer because I

955
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: did research and you were saying, and now I hate

956
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: my answer. Here's because it's Ed Carpenter is for me.

957
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,479
Speaker 1: He's starting he's starting fourth. He's the hometown guy pole

958
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: before right. No, he's had the poll what three times?

959
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: He's a great Oval guy. I mean, you know what

960
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So since twenty thirteen he's qualified at least

961
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: fourth six times. Seeddie, Eddie, Okay. The only thing left

962
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: for him to do, as you said, is whin the

963
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: darn thing he's finished. He finished fifth last year, second

964
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: and eighteam. He's been in the top five three times.

965
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: He's always consistent, whether it's finishing high or qualifying high.

966
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: So he's my mister steady. I hate that answer because

967
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: that's what you're going with, you know it. But my

968
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: Colt's answer is Quintin Nelson there. It is because he's

969
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: been consistent the highest of levels and four years in

970
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: the NFL four All Pro selections, he already has the

971
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: most first team All Pro selections by a guard in

972
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: franchise history. And he's only allowed four sacks in four

973
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: years over four thousand snaps. So that's consistent. That is

974
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 1: mister steady okay on my side. Further drivers, obviously, I'm

975
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: going steady Eddie Carpenter, this is the year. Yeah. I'm

976
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna give you one quick story about the last time

977
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: I saw Ed Carpenter. It was months ago, months ago,

978
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: when they still had the you must wear a mask

979
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: in a store mandate that was on there. I went

980
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: into a bagel shop on a Sunday morning and there

981
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: was a guy at the counter going ballistic because they said,

982
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to serve you unless you put a

983
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: mask on, sir. And he is yelling, he is throwing,

984
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, hands up in the air and everything. And

985
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: I look over and it's Ed Carpenter and I've known

986
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: that a few years. So I walk over and like,

987
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: are we okay here Ed right now? And He's like,

988
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I'm just waiting to see what

989
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: this guy's doing. He seems like a real and he did.

990
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: He just left in a huff. But that was the

991
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: last time I saw Ed Carpenter. Was not the Ed

992
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: was there in a mask like myself. This is in

993
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: the heat of you know, COVID, so he was trying

994
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: to keep the piece. He well. We were there both

995
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: saying if if this guy jumps a little bit, there's

996
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: me and you know about four other you know, housewives

997
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: that were in there. And it was just women and

998
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: I you know what I'm saying, And it was like, Hey,

999
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: if something happens with this guy, yeah, we gotta take over. Yeah,

1000
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the coat over his head and lead

1001
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: him outside, you know, take your mask on. Anyway, that's

1002
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: the last time I saw Eddie. He is my mister steady.

1003
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: When it comes to this race, I think it is

1004
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: the year that'll be the greatest story. And I did

1005
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: tell him that at that day. I said, Ed, it's

1006
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a great day when you win this hometown

1007
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: race and talk about a movie waiting to happen. It's

1008
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: Ed Carpenter, he's been born. I will do that, Eddie.

1009
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: You win and out produce it, all right, mister steady.

1010
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to the defensive line, and Matt, when you're

1011
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman or you're a quarterback and you're walking

1012
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: up to the you know, the defensive line, there's two sets.

1013
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of big men looking at it.

1014
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: I know where you're going. I don't want to say

1015
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: t rex like, but he is such a mammoth man.

1016
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: And on top of it, he's such a great leader

1017
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: that this Colts defense goes through ninety nine to Forrest Buckner,

1018
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: it starts on the defensive line of scrimmage. And that's

1019
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: the one that I'm calling mister steady because everyone else

1020
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 1: around him will be able to do their jobs better

1021
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: because he does his job great. And I'm talking about

1022
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard, I'm talking about Kenny Moore. I'm talking about

1023
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: the safety's coming up. He's gonna man handle two guys,

1024
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: sometimes three guys on plays DeForrest buck That's the kind

1025
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:44,919
