22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: on in the podcast about karaoke songs. You've got to

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: roll him around in this wagon. I saw I saw

24
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: a photo because we have some mutual friends who are

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: in the same class as your boys, and I know

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: that she paid them a visit to try to love Vivian. Yeah,

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: and Henry was very excited here. But yeah, he's just

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: laying in the like a radio flyer wagon. Um, we

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: can't really take him out when the sun is like

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, like like high noon, because like the sun

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: is just right in his eyes even though there's a

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: sun canopy. Um, he's doing great. He's just mostly like pissed.

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: If it sounds had broken leg, if Lara had a

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: broken leg, if you got you guys would not want

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: to be around me. I don't know how much would

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: be around me now, but especially if I were debilitated

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: in a fashion. But seriously, any parents of young children

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: who any any suggestions on activities to do with kids

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: that they have to be lying down, any good suggestions

00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: on those type of things, take them Tweet them at me, please,

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: because we got five more weeks of this of him.

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: And you could do the old. You could do the old.

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Put him in the uh laundry basket and watch YouTube

44
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: videos of roller coasters. That's always in a pandemic day.

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Molly loves that. And you know, you got you gotta

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: be propped up a little bit, but you can be

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, sitting laying down on the vide Yeah, he's

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: never been on a roller coaster. We were going to

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: go to Hilton Head in June and had to cancel

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: that because we can't you know, get sand or water

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: in a cast. Sure, yeah, so geez yeah maybe next

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: year domino effect. Right, let's hope that no one breaks

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: their leg next year. Yeah, in anyone's household, right, anyway,

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. We got we got some

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: cold stuff to talk about here. He excited to talk

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: about this. We got OTAs this week. They're your way. Um,

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: We've got like that. The full ninety man roster is

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: set here in Indianapolis. We got we heard from a

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: couple of guys last week, Paris Campbell and Dio dang Bo.

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: We want to talk about We're gonna talk a little

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: bit about, uh, you know, some predictions for the twenty

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: twenty two season. Now that we're kind of getting some

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: things into focus here. But guys, the Colts signed Nick Foles.

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: He's back or not well with Frank, but I guess

65
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: he's kind of back with me. I covered him for

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: a year in Chicago. There you go. Um, Yeah, Colt

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: signed Nick Foles on Monday. He joins a quarterback room

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: alongside Matt Ryan, Sam Ellinger and Jack Cone here in Indianapolis.

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: And you know he's got a relationship with Frank Reich.

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: We all know that the Philly special Pep I listen, Yeah,

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: when you dropped the Pepe Sylvia reference on the podcast

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: last week, I was cackling in my car. Thank you.

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: Any times in a while. I can't believe Maintay didn't

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: get it right away. Not right away. Okay. One thing

75
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: that's interesting too, is like the Cults Eagles ties don't

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: just in there. There's a tweet from Jeremy Fowler from

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: yesterday and he said the Eagles were involved in Nick

78
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Foles free agency for a potential reunion of Super Bowl

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: winners before Fulls signed his two year deal with the Cults.

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Per source. He adds to that an Eagle as Eagles

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: got trade interest in Gardner Minshew. They discussed Foles, but

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: ultimately decided they would stick with their quarterback room, including

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Minshew and draft pick Carson Strong. So the Cults were

84
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: in a bit of a race to acquire Nick Foles.

85
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Otherwise it likely would have been a Philadelphia reunion. So

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: one way or another, Nick Foles was going somewhere that

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: he had a connection. It's right, well, and it's not

88
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: just Frank Greig. I mean, let's not forget Chris Ballard

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: was in Kansas City in twenty sixteen when Nick Foles

90
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: was there. That was kind of why I forgot that

91
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: he was in. That was kind of when Nick Foles

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: kind of hit a low point of his career in

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and go into the Chiefs and being with

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Matt Naggie and Doug Peterson or Peterson

95
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: wasn't there that year, but with those guys and then

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Ballard being there, that kind of brought

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: him back into football and brought back his love of

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: football that year and then obviously springboarded him to winning

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with Frank Reich in twenty seventeen. Guys,

100
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: what do we make of the timing of this signing.

101
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: It comes kind of in late May with OTAs getting underway.

102
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: You know, the Bears released Foles earlier this offseason. Mattay,

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: what do you make of the timing of Nick Foles

104
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: coming to a t Indinapple. Well, it's definitely interesting because

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week on the podcast with

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback and I thought that the Colts would

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: sort of wait and see what they had on the

108
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: roster before they signed the veteran. I thought they were

109
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: going to wait and see what they had with Ellinger

110
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: and company and OTAs in the first part of training camp,

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and that would indicate, one way or another what they

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: needed to do in terms of signing a backup veteran

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: behind Matt Ryan. So I think Layer is absolutely right.

114
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense that someone else was in

115
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: play here for the signing to come out. You know,

116
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: this quickly after he was released by the Chicago Bears.

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: But I like it. This once again proves to me

118
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: that the Colts are in a win now mentality. I mean,

119
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: everything this offseason has been about addressing the deficiencies from

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: last year in a big way. If for some reason

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan goes down, he's thirty seven years old. He

122
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: hasn't was missed three games in fifteen years, fourteen years

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: going into this season. So if there is, I'm pounding

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: the wood on the table. If for some reason he

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: goes down, I think the Colts they don't want the

126
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: season to be sacrificed. With a great roster and great

127
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: players in the full they know that Foles can come

128
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: in and win games and keep the Colts in games

129
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: by being the backup quarterback with his experience. Here's what

130
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I think Nick Foles does. Is it eliminates any doubt

131
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: you might have Sam. Yeah, Sam Ellinger could step in

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: and be a successful backup quarterback potentially, but you don't

133
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: know that about him because we haven't seen him do

134
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: it in the regular season. We have seen Nick Foles

135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: do it in the regular season. So to me, it

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: is it's just filling out, feeling out. Excuse me, what

137
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: you have in the room that you're working with. Yes,

138
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: you love what you have in your young guys, in

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: your Sam Ellinger and even Jack Cone who's in as

140
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent rookie. But when you go back

141
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: to that situation in Week two when Jacob Eason hadn't

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: thrown a pass in the NFL and he is thrust

143
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: into that atmosphere at Lucasoil Stadium against the Rams and

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: gets picked off by Jalen Ramsey. You just don't want

145
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: history to repeat itself, and not only for your team

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: to have the option of having a veteran presence, but

147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: also to not have to force a guy who is

148
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: unproven into that type of situation. In a following week

149
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: two in Tennessee, I mean, yeah, Carson Wentz played, you know,

150
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: very compromise and that was an incredibly will game tin

151
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: man in that I mean, like the incredible ability defense played, game,

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: they created, play great in that game, three takeaways and

153
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: the Colts still lost. That's that's analytically statistically hard to do,

154
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: and because offensively they just didn't have what they needed

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: to have at quarterback mobility and physicality wise, with Carson

156
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Wentz as compromised as he was, I still think too,

157
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: like what that was such a gutsy effort from Carson

158
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: to like play that game and put himself out there.

159
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: There's you know, so many times that you can think

160
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: about he was just willing to try to do anything

161
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: and everything he could to make himself available So just Larry,

162
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned the jacobieson thing though, and that kind of

163
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: jogged my memory to when I was covering the Bears.

164
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: The first time Nick Foles came into a game. The

165
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Bears were They're getting blown out by the Atlanta Falcons.

166
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was bad. They were losing

167
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: twenty six to ten in the third quarter of this

168
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: game in Atlanta in Week three. Foles comes in, he

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: throws three touchdowns, the Bears win the game, and it

170
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: was just incredible. Asking Matt Ryan about that, I don't

171
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: that game was not Matt Ryan's fault, Okay, uh, that

172
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: is for sure. I mean, Matt Ryan played really well

173
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: in that game. Nick Foles just like he did. He

174
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: did what Nick Foles sometimes does. And then a week later,

175
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts shut down Nick Foles. But then

176
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: four days after that, he went out and beat Tom

177
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: Brady on Thursday Night. So falls kind of has that

178
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: in him, you know that, and there are there are

179
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, twenty twenty was not a very good season

180
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: overall for Nick Foles. There are some things. There's some

181
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: issues with the Bears offense, with you know, some other things,

182
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: and Foles didn't have a particularly good season that year

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: as well, But you saw the talent, you saw the

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: ability to come off the bench. And by the way,

185
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Frank Reich big fan, Okay, Nick Foles, he is. I

186
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: remember asking him about that back in twenty twenty when

187
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: the Colts played the Bears, of course, and he was

188
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: preparing to face his former quarterback, And I know, I

189
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: want to go back and listen to that interview now

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: that all this is I remember I remember asking Frank

191
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: about hat on a conference call when I was covering

192
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: the Bears, and he said that, you know, Foles is

193
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: a magician with the football. He can he's kind of

194
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: like a point guard. He can make all these throws

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: and he makes really good decisions pre and post snap.

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: One of the things when you mentioned his stepping into

197
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: that game, like I feel like that there is a

198
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: an error about these like veteran guys and kind of

199
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: their ability to step in and make moments kind of

200
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: like a Ryan Fitzpatrick, Like I love, I love like

201
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: that kind of unknown of like Ryan Fitzpatrick when he

202
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: gets thrust into game situations. The thing you've seen him do,

203
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: would you say it's similar into what kind of Nick

204
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Foles brings you that ability. Is that nothing to lose mentality, right?

205
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean the guy like you want a Super Bowl

206
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: as a backup quarterback. Anytime Nick Foles comes into a

207
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: game or starts a game, you're going to think about that.

208
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: The other thing, I just I want to make a

209
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: quick little point about Foles the last time we saw

210
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: him as an extended starter, which obviously the culture not

211
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: signing him to be an extended starter. Matt Ryan is

212
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. This, again, like Lara said, is an

213
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: insurance policy. In twenty twenty, nick Foles the average time

214
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: to pressure was so he was pressured on average in

215
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: two point two six seconds that year. The lowest for

216
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: a team that year was two point two eight seconds.

217
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: So Nick Foles basically he got the football and he

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: was under pressure quite a bit in twenty and twenty

219
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: with the Bears. That's neither here nor there in this discussion.

220
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: But we do want to talk a little bit about

221
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: the future of Sam Ellinger now because Ellinger last year

222
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: he came off ir he became the Colts backup quarterback.

223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: He didn't have to play outside of some blowout, you know,

224
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: blowouts at the end of those games against Buffalo and Houston.

225
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: But what does this say about the future of Sam

226
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Ellinger with the Colts. Well, he definitely has to keep fighting.

227
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean again, if you if you played a game today,

228
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: he'd be the third quarterback, probably the practice squad quarterback,

229
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: you know, inactive on game days if he is on

230
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the active roster for some reason, the Colts are carrying

231
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks. It just means he's got to keep working.

232
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: He has to keep showing what he's made of. And

233
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: this this preseason is going to be really big for him.

234
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a ton of playing time. He's probably

235
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: gonna start that third game against Tampa Bay. You know,

236
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan will play some just because it's a new

237
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, changing teams for the first time in fourteen years.

238
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: So he's gonna play a little bit, but probably not

239
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: a lot. In the preseason. Same thing with Nick Foles,

240
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: he'll play a little bit more, but probably not much.

241
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: Considering he is a veteran, he knows Frank Reich's system

242
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: very well, and he is that insurance policy that Lara

243
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: brought up, and you don't want to get the insurance

244
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: package hurt in exhibition games, which means Ellinger is gonna

245
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: play a ton in the preseason and have a chance

246
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: again to prove his NFL merit and make a name

247
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: for himself with with thirty one other teams watching and

248
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: evaluating their backup quarterback status going into the regular season. Yeah,

249
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, and look, Ellinger, I think still is a

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: pretty bright future in the NFL. He's a really smart guy.

251
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: He diagnoses things really well. You know, Frank Reich another

252
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: guy who Frank Reich really does like in this coaching

253
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: staff likes. But again in this instance, you're you're going

254
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: to get a guy in fulls who you know that

255
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: if you need him to step in during a game

256
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: on a short week, that he's done it before. And

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: when you're you're going for it, and you signed guys

258
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: likes to find Gilmore and you know, trade for Matt

259
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: Ryan and he trade for Unique and goack Way and

260
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: you make these moves to go try to win. Now,

261
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: adding a veteran backup quarterback fits with that plan. And

262
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: if you remember, I mean last season, there were a

263
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: package of plays that involved Sam Ellinger and putting him

264
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: in there. So it would be interesting to see, if

265
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what happens till the course of

266
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the preseason. If you know somehow you are scripting some

267
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: things to utilize him in various situations, we'll see and hey,

268
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: that part of that process is going to start now

269
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: during OTAs. This week begins the phase three of the

270
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: Colts off season program, otherwise known as OTAs, Organized Team Activities.

271
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Colts have two weeks of OTA practices before mandatory Mini

272
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: camp in June. There's no live contact, but the Colts

273
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: can go seven on seven, nine on nine, and eleven

274
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: on eleven drills over the next couple of weeks. So

275
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: these are big. The Colts haven't had real OTAs since

276
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and they haven't had real OTAs with the

277
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: guy they think is going to be their starting quarterbacks

278
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. And I like too that this the

279
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: mandatory that mini camp is going to take you through.

280
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I believe June ninth is that what it is. So

281
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: you're going through that first full week of June. If

282
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: you remember last year they ended everything before Memorial Day

283
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: and you had a really long that's a really long

284
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: layoff to go the entirety of June and then the

285
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: majority of July when you weren't coming back until the

286
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty sixth through twenty seventh, twenty eighth when you're starting

287
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: training camp. So I do think that having that stretch

288
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: going into the first week of June, taking you almost

289
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: through the first third of June, is going to be

290
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: really important to allow guys that bit of extra time

291
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: and also to carry that through the summer coming really

292
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: motivated and pick up right where you left off. When

293
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: you have two full months away, that's a lot of

294
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: time for you know, just to not feel sharp when

295
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you come in. So I think that when you're talking

296
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: about going from June ninth, June tenth, right around there

297
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: when guys are out, and then coming back around say

298
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: June twenty fifth, that's typically when you we never ready

299
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: gets back into the full I mean, not to rehash

300
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: last year, but especially after what happened last year at

301
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the start of training camp. You know, Carson Wentz went

302
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: down day two, then Quentin Nelson, then it was a

303
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Domino Frank Kelly. Yeah, just for the umpteenth time. It's

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: done a lot of time on task for almost two

305
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: and a half three months last year with key players

306
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and key positions on that twenty twenty one team last year. Yeah,

307
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is going to be a big couple

308
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: of weeks here, just again for installing the offense, starting

309
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: to figure out where some of these pieces fit on

310
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: the offense, and then obviously on Gus Bradley's defense, getting

311
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: some of that verbiage down, getting especially the impact you

312
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: expect I mean, of course the new defense, but then

313
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: also the impact you expect for a lot of these

314
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: rookies to have. I mean, you have playmakers on that

315
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: offense who are going to be called upon early and often. Yeah,

316
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: so let's talk a little bit about the roster, because

317
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: the Colts have ninety guys on their roster right now.

318
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're at the point where when the Colts

319
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: sign a free agent they need to get, you know,

320
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: someone off the roster. So in the Colts signed Nick Foles,

321
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: they waived quarterback James Morgan, keeping the roster at ninety.

322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: When you look at this roster, matey, I want to

323
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: start with you on this, what parts of the roster

324
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: still have some unanswered questions? And I think everyone's thought

325
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: right now is listening to this is probably like wide receiver,

326
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver, wide receiver? Is that fair? Are there unanswered

327
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: questions at wide receiver or are there some other places

328
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: on their so roster you're looking at. You know, the

329
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: funny thing about wide receiver. We've talked about it all offseason.

330
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: You know, someone of the group of Patman and Strawn

331
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: and Dulan and Kiki Qt and Michael Hair, somebody's got

332
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: to step up. And yes, that's true. But I was

333
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: also thinking about this the other day. Maybe maybe four

334
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: of the six spots that the Colts are gonna keep

335
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: it wide receiver. You pretty much know or feel good

336
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: about four of those six spots. Two thirds, right, You've

337
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: got Michael Pittman, Junior, Alec Pierce, Paris Campbell, and then

338
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Ashton Dulan's gonna make the team to play receiver and

339
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: special teams. That's four of the six, right, So I

340
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: mean it's truly only a battle of one or two

341
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: spots for four or five guys. I completely agree. That's

342
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: kind of why I wanted to tee that up because

343
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: I think we're we're getting a lot of us you know,

344
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: we're all getting these questions like what are the Colts

345
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna do at wide receiver? And there's not that much

346
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: room there. There's gonna be really good competition, but there's

347
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: not like It's not like the Colts need to go

348
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: out and add two more wide receivers to this room

349
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: just to fill it out. But you could. You do

350
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: still have some timeline. You could add someone, you could

351
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: where you have veterans who are out there floating around.

352
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of conversation about that, and you

353
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: know that is still a very real possibility. I think

354
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: in terms of storyline, it's absolutely a storyline because of

355
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: what you didn't get from that group last year and

356
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: what you have personnel wise trying to fill those roles.

357
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Paris Campbell is an obvious storyline because of

358
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: just his bad luck. You're only playing fifteen games through

359
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: three years. Alec Pierce is a storyline because of his

360
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: high ceiling and what the Colts need out of him

361
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: right away as a rookie. Michael Pittman Junior is a

362
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: storyline because he ascended, took a major step last year,

363
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: going from five hundred yards receiving so over a thousand

364
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: yards receiving in year number two. So it's a storyline

365
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: in terms of what they need from the group, not

366
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: so much the personnel they have in two thirds of

367
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: the spots on the roster okay, we had Curtis Brooks

368
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: back here briefly, and of course the two Cincinnati guys,

369
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce Curtis Brooks like great respect. Those two are

370
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: very very close friends. And when when I talked to

371
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, he was most excited to talk about Curtis Brooks.

372
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: After he was drafted, he Alt Pierce didn't want to

373
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: talk about Alec Pierce anymore, but he was so excited

374
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: to talk about Curtis Brooks. So I joked with Curtis

375
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Brooks yesterday because we're doing a lot of our marketing

376
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: shoots and different things. Of course, alls are going on,

377
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: and so we shot everything and then I go, all right,

378
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: what's the dirt on Alec Pierce? And he chuckles, he goes,

379
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: trust me, there is none, and I'll laughed. I was like,

380
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: that's exactly the answer I was expecting, right, Like, no,

381
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't really think there was anything, just

382
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: having some fun with Curtis Brooks. But it is like

383
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: I think that that is everyone who you've talked to

384
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: you from every level is like he is real deal.

385
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: He is as good as it comes outside outside of

386
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: wide receiver. JJ. I would say, offensive line, you know

387
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: there's there's that true battle left tackle between Prior and Ryman.

388
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: How much of a battle will there be between Danny

389
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Pinter and you know the loser of the left tackle

390
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: job for guard? Yeah, Will Fries is in the mix

391
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: as well. You know, there's there's two offensive lines starting

392
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: lineup positions up for grabs this offseason, which is incredibly rare,

393
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: obviously in the Frank Reich era. First time that's happened

394
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. So I would say receiver an O

395
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: line on offense, and then I think on defense it's corner.

396
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: The Colts have a lot of guys that can play

397
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: and rotate, but who's gonna emerge as the starters and

398
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: the guys that are gonna get a line share of

399
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: the playing time? And Nicol you'd play with Kenny Moore

400
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: on the inside, Gilmore on the outside, and then who

401
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah Rodgers, Brandon Facon, Anthony Chesley played some last year.

402
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: So I think the Colts are gonna rotate their corners

403
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: more under Gus Bradley than they did under Matt Eberflus.

404
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: So don't expect Stefan Gilmore to never leave the field.

405
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, be a guy that plays one hundred percent

406
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: of the snaps in all seventeen games. He's gonna be

407
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: spelled by someone. And I think the good news in

408
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: this is the Colts have options. But starting at OTAs,

409
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna see what those options are and who kind

410
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: of rises to the top at the cornerback rotational mix.

411
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: I want to throw a little one out of left

412
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: field here for a question I have about the roster.

413
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: It's a tight end. Frank Reich talked at the league

414
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: meetings in March. He was talking about the tight ends

415
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, look, our our personnel packages

416
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: are gonna look a little bit different at tight end

417
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: without Jack Doyle in there. Because Jack Doyle. I think

418
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: like any Colts fan who didn't appreciate Jack Doyle, which

419
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: there are probably like seven of you out there, are

420
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: are going to realize, Yeah, who are you? You're gonna

421
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: see how important Jack Doyle was to this offense because

422
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: what he did in the run game. Yeah, ask Jonathan Taylor. Right.

423
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: So last year the Colts were twelfth and twelve personnel usage.

424
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: So that's one running back, two tight ends, two wide receivers.

425
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: They're twelfth in the NFL. On those plays, they ran

426
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: the ball sixty five percent of the time, which is

427
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: the fifth highest rate in the NFL. They averaged four

428
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry on those runs out of

429
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, which is really damn good. That's really good,

430
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: especially when teams know that if you just guess run

431
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: sixty six like two thirds of the time, you're gonna

432
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: be right. That is the Jack Doyle impact right there,

433
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: because of the stuff he could do in twelve personnel.

434
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Now you remove him, he still have a really good

435
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: blocking tight end in Moley Cox. But now what does

436
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: that another tight end look like in twelve personnel? Is

437
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: it Kylan Granson who's more of a receiving threat in

438
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: that spot as the f tight end, or can Jilanni

439
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: Woods emerge as a guy who can play right away

440
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: as a rookie as a Y tight end in that

441
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: inline spot that Moale Cox and Jack Doyle play hold

442
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: on really quickly. You and I just realized you add

443
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: another Westlake High School product into the mix, which you

444
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: got Sam Ellinger, Nick Foles, and Kylan Grantson's wild yet

445
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Lake quarterbacks. Yeah, in your quarterback absolutely, it's like Westlake

446
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: Midwest o Look, Texas High School. Yeah, Jrem Breeze coming

447
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: in or something. Three guys is like joking about playing again.

448
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Uh maybe joke, maybe not joking, who knows, probably not.

449
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sorry. I was just like that popped.

450
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: That just popped in my head because I was like,

451
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Holy cow, you're right um. But this is one of

452
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: the things that I think the Colts coaching staff is

453
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: going to be looking for over the next three weeks

454
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: during OTAs, during mini camp. How does Jilanni Woods pick

455
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: things up? And I had a really interesting conversation with

456
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: Clayton Adams, Colts tight ends coach who coached Gilanni Woods

457
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: at the East Rush Shrine Bowl, and he said it

458
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: was it was sne Bowl. It's hard to say, hard

459
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: to say. At the East West Shrine Bowl, Clayton Adams

460
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: coached Delannie Woods, and he said it was incredible to

461
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: see the growth that Woods had from those ten days

462
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: of practices and the game too when he got in

463
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: the building after the Colts drafted him, that he had

464
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: made such improvement and even though he wasn't playing football,

465
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: that was that was something that really stood out to

466
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Clayton Adams. Something else that stood out to Clayton in

467
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: that game which I'm not gonna say again, was was

468
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: that Woods like that they they were down to two

469
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: tight ends in that game, and Woods like, they said, hey, Jelanni, like,

470
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: we want to get you a blow here, you know,

471
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: come out of the game. And he was like, no, coach,

472
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: I want to go win this game. He's like, there's

473
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: a guy like if he's like an all star game,

474
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: yeah you know that, Like, yeah, most guys are like, yeah,

475
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: who cares. But he said that was another thing that

476
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: stood out, like that compete levels. Yeah, I just want

477
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: to play. I just want to go and win. Like, hey,

478
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: we're playing this game, let's go win it. Those are

479
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: things that as the Colts now start to figure out

480
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: how Woods picks up the offense, he's got he's got

481
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: that compete level, he's got his arrow pointing in the

482
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: right direction, which the Colts can confidently say it is

483
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: based on, you know, getting him in that game in

484
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. And if he can establish himself as someone

485
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: not not saying he's gonna play a jack level of

486
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: workload in year one, but as someone who can be

487
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: effective in twelve personnel as a receiver and mostly as

488
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: a blocker, that's gonna be huge for this Colt's run game,

489
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: because again, if you're averaging four point six yards per

490
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: carry and teams are like, yeah, they've been twelve personnel,

491
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: they're probably running the ball. You're doing a lot of

492
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: things right as an offense, especially with your tight ends

493
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: in those spots. Yeah, I mean you're second in five.

494
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean every single time. I mean, favorable down end distance,

495
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: stay on schedule, keep the defense guessing. I think you're

496
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: exactly right, j G. I think Jellanni Woods can come

497
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: in right away and be maybe not to the level

498
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: of a Jack Doyle blocking efficiency tight end, but I

499
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: have zero reservations about Jillanni woods physicality. I mean, he's

500
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: got great footwork for crying out loud as a former

501
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: quarterback and basketball star. So the athleticism and his mobility

502
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: as a tight end is something you don't worry about.

503
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: The only question coming in was can he block at

504
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: a reasonable level or what you're missing in Jack Doyle

505
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: are in retirement this past offseason, you know, watching his tape,

506
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: seeing him out there talking to him about you know

507
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: how excited he is to be physical right away as

508
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: a rookie. I think the Colts can be unpredictable. When

509
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: they go twelve personnel with two tight ends on the field,

510
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: they can run and pass and not tip their hand

511
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: based on who's in the game at tight end. I

512
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't overlook too Drew Ogletree and his potential ability to

513
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: step into a similar role too. I mean, obviously a

514
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: lot of emphasis on Genilanni Woods, rightfully so, but Drew Ogletree,

515
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: that ball of clay. He's like Moldney, whatever you want

516
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: me to do, whatever you need me to do. He's

517
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: very intriguing, he's very raw. He's a guy who kind

518
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: of comes from that converted wide receiver type of background.

519
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see his development too. The

520
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: flip side to this is we're talking about guys that

521
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: are going to play in line. Do the Colts realize, hey,

522
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: when we go twelve personnel, we gotta get Mo out there,

523
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: but like Grant, we gotta get Kyle and Granson on

524
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: the field. Is that another part of this equation. So

525
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: when the Colts go twelve personnel, maybe that they go

526
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: from sixty five percent run toward fifty percent run because

527
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: you got grantson on the field and needs such a

528
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: good receiving threat. That you need to get him the

529
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: ball because Lara, we've heard for weeks months now how

530
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: much the Colts still believe in Kylan Granson, and there

531
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: just wasn't like an opportunity for him. Yeah, last year

532
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: with the way the offense was going in Again, these

533
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: are the tweaks you have to make year to year.

534
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Last year, the Coults are very run heavy out of

535
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: twelve personnel. Granson as an opportunity to shift that maybe

536
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: to be a little more pass heavy out of twelve personnel. Yeah,

537
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: and I think that, you know, he has shown flashes

538
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: of that he did last season certainly, and this is

539
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: going to be a big off season for him, a

540
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: big preseason for him to establish and carve out that

541
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: niche role within the offense. You know, you saw early

542
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: on last season that you got great production through Moale

543
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: Cox and then that tailed off just a little bit

544
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: later in the part in the latter part of this season.

545
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, really excited to see what Kylan can do

546
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: with this opportunity that he has. So the Colt streak

547
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: of Kevin an undrafted free agent make their team ended

548
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: last year. Mattee, what was that at twenty It was

549
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: twenty two at the last twenty three. Yeah, so that

550
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: the consecutive streak ended. This year, the Colts signed twenty

551
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: two undrafted free agents. A lot of competition, a lot

552
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: of opportunities for those guys. What parts of the roster

553
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: are you looking for there to be an opportunity for

554
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent to make the roster? Maytas start

555
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: with you. I still think it's running back, despite Philip

556
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: Lindsay being signed, and uh, you know, I know he's

557
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: a you know, proven guy, one thousand yard back before

558
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: in this league. But the Colts like some of the

559
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: guys they signed after the draft, and they brought him

560
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: in here for a reason. You know, CJ. Verdell from Oregon,

561
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: DeVante Price from Florida International. They're really high on on

562
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: Dion Jackson, who didn't make the active roster in Week

563
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: one last year but saw some time on the active

564
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: roster as the season went on. You know, he was

565
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: a guy at a Duke's at a bunch of program

566
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: records and they like what they have on him, especially

567
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: on special teams. So I think the Colts could keep

568
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: four running backs just as they did last year. And

569
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: I think going into training camp it's going to be

570
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: wide open to see who makes the team after Taylor

571
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: and Hines as your top two backs in this offense. Lara,

572
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? I am intrigued by the

573
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: international defensive back Marcel Dabo. Is it Dabo Dabo? I

574
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's Daboo because well, Dabo Swinney.

575
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Dabo Swinney has like you know, totally skewed my brain

576
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: on this, but they are. He's very intriguing. He comes

577
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: from that International Pathways program, very intrigued to see what

578
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: he would be able to do in that new Gus

579
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Bradley type of scheme. The International Pathways Program, by the way,

580
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: produced uh Jordan by Alatta, the guy who send Us

581
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: off the Rails on a podcast about a month ago. Yeah,

582
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: where you were calling Dan asking him what Rugby number

583
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: he would be wearing. That's right, I forgot about based

584
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: on that conversation. Act Yeah, Oh good call digging in

585
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the archives F one. Yeah, But anyway, I just in

586
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: reading a lot about him, haven't met him. I haven't

587
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: had a conversation. But they're a lot of the scouts

588
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: are very high on the traits. We know that's something

589
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: that they hit on they do every year, but it

590
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: seemed like there was a really strong emphasis this year

591
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: on traits, both with the guys you drafted and you

592
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: saw it out in the undrafted free agency market. He's

593
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: one of those. I think is is very intriguing. I mean,

594
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: there's clear openings on special teams. You know, Matthew Adams

595
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: and George Odom, two guys who were core special teamers,

596
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: are on the Bears, on the forty nine ers, respectively.

597
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: You look at some of the snap percentages on special

598
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: teams for some undrafted free agents in recent years. Kenny Moore,

599
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: the second is a rookie. He played sixty three percent

600
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: of the Colts team snaps. Ashton Dulan was at fifty percent,

601
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: Odom himself was at sixty five percent, Zach Pascal at

602
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: forty three percent. Those are all when they were rookies

603
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: and made the team as undrafted free agents. So a

604
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity there. But I'm going to throw a

605
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: couple of guys out here. You know, Larry, you remember

606
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: that conversation we have with Gus Bradley when he when

607
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: when the Colts hired him about how what what he got?

608
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: Same quickly Marcel debou a forty foot vertical. Forty foot vertical,

609
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: he'd be part of the Avengers forty and at how

610
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: would you say that forty forty and a half inch vertices. Yeah,

611
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, that's that's how you do it. Yeah.

612
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: But so, okay, remember that conversation we have with Gus

613
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: about how his defense allows young guys to step in

614
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: and play immediately. So I was thinking about that. The

615
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Colts signed two undrafted free agents who were who are

616
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: listed as linebackers who are converted safeties Jojo Demand from

617
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: Nebraska Sterling Weatherford from Miami, Ohio. I'm looking at guys

618
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: who are converted safeties playing linebacker, kind of the hybrid

619
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: hybrid type role. Maybe there are if we're looking at

620
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: guys who could have an opportunity to get on the field,

621
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Maybe there is a targeted role in Gus's defense for

622
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: one of those guys or both of those guys to

623
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: get on the field in certain sub packages if they

624
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: can perform obviously well enough over the next couple of months.

625
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: That just kind of piqued my interest. See that there's

626
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a trend in those two guys.

627
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 1: Um another guy to throw out here, Ryan Van Demark,

628
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: tackle from Yukon who signed depth yep need depth. There

629
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: could be some h yeah, absolutely, you know, a highly

630
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: coveted undrafted free agent there. Um, let's talk a little

631
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: bit about Paris Campbell and Dioa Dangbo. We heard some

632
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: really interesting things from them last week during media availability. Um,

633
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, I thought, you know, and Maytay, the interview

634
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: you did with him back here was was phenomenal. Yeah,

635
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: he was good. He was really really good, really open

636
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, forceful in the comments he made

637
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: about you know, he's he's out to prove everyone wrong

638
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: this year and he sees it, he sees all the

639
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: doubts about him. And I thought, you know, the comments

640
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: he made, it makes you start to wonder, like what

641
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: what could the ceiling for Paris Campbell be if he

642
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: can stay healthy? And I want to throw this out

643
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: to both of you guys, because you've seen more of

644
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell than I have. What kind of ceiling does

645
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: Paris have as a wide receiver in this offense? And Lara,

646
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: I want to start with you on this and just

647
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, knowing the kind of person he is, the

648
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of player he is, where could he go if

649
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: he's able to stay healthy this year. I think there

650
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: is no ceiling. I mean, this sky's the limit for

651
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell and what he is capable of just in

652
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: being available, being able to stay on the field. There

653
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: are a lot of different ways you can utilize him

654
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: within the offense. I mean, you saw what he did

655
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: at the college level. You just saw what he did

656
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, the game winning type of plays that

657
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: he was making. I mean, he was in certain situations

658
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: a game wrecker at the receiver position. And I think

659
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: he certainly has that potential in being able to stay

660
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: healthy and finding a strong rhythm with his quarterback with

661
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, and they've been able to do a lot

662
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: of that. I mean, Paris was one of the first

663
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: receivers that Matt was in the building working with. I mean,

664
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: one of the things we learned from Paris Campbell last

665
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: week was that week's seventeen game. But he came back

666
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: four he had a plate and screws in his foot

667
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: that was holding his foot together after that touchdown catch

668
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: that he had against Houston broke his foot. He said

669
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: he knew immediately it was broken, you know, and he's

670
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: like going down this here, I am We're back in

671
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: this situation. Think about the mental toll, Like Paris Campbell

672
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: is mentally tougher than any of these people who are

673
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: out there poking holes in him and calling him, calling

674
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: him glass and all that. You guys have absolutely no

675
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: idea the mental obstacles that Paris Campbell has endured to

676
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: just get to the position of being able to play

677
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: football again and build his confidence back up. There is

678
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: no one you should be rooting harder for right now

679
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: than Paris Campbell because he is as good of a human,

680
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: as good of a person, has as high of a

681
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: potential as any receiver that there is on this rod ster.

682
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: So Paris Campbell plays in week seventeen, then immediately after

683
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: has that plate and screws removed from his foot, and

684
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: then is coming back after that to be at the

685
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: level that he is right now, and he has looked

686
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: so strong, and man, I mean you you see it,

687
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: You see those glimmers, you see those flashes of what

688
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: the potential is. And my goodness, I am so excited

689
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: for Paris Campbell to prove absolutely everyone wrong because Paris

690
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: sees it, he reads it, and if you follow Paris,

691
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: you know how much he exemplifies the strength of his

692
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: faith and the strength that he has, how the support

693
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: of his family, and he's talked to his family about

694
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: how hard this road has been has been for him,

695
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: and he admits, I know him coming into a contract.

696
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: You're I know what they're saying. I know what this

697
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: looks like on paper. The amount of game. Yeah, that's it.

698
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: I want to stay in this league. I got one

699
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: more year to show what I can do. And this

700
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: is the guy who's fighting for his family. He's got

701
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: two young kids. He wants to be not only a

702
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: great father, but a great you know, he wants to

703
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: be able to be there on Sundays, have his kids

704
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: in the stands watching him make plays, be able to

705
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: celebrate and look at their faces, and be able to

706
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: rally back from this, overcome these obstacles. If if I'm

707
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell and I've been through all the junk that

708
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: he's been through, whatever it is, four or five injuries,

709
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: and then I score a fifty one yard touchdown, I

710
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: actually roast the guy covering me, and I catch a

711
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: fifty one yard bomb in the end zone and then

712
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: some dude lands on my foot. I'm out. I'm going

713
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: into a dark place if that's that's me. But that's

714
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: not Paris Campbell. He is not an average dude. He's

715
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: an extraordinary dude, both mentally and physically to get through

716
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: what he's been through psychologically. That overwriting optimism that he has,

717
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a very admirable trait that he has.

718
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: And I think, Larry, you're exactly right, Sky is the

719
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: limit for this dude. I think Paris Campbell can catch

720
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: seventy balls for five hundred and fifty yards next season, easy,

721
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I think that's a conservative number, to

722
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: be honest with you. If he stays healthy, there is

723
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: no one who is due more good luck than Paris Campbell.

724
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I think Paris Campbell should actually go out and buy

725
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: lottery tickets because karma, karma owes this guy right. Good things,

726
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: good vibes are coming his way. And I think with

727
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Matt Ryan and this system that's going

728
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: to get the ball out fast two and a half seconds, boom,

729
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: go yards after catch, hopefully his season resembles that first

730
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: quarter and a half Week one twenty twenty when Philip

731
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: Rivers is his quarterback, where He's catching six passes for

732
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: seventy yards. Looks incredible, you know, fifteen yard gains with

733
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: a lot of run after the catch. I think that's

734
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: what we're in store for with a healthy Paris Campbell.

735
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: And one thing too, And I know I've referenced this previous,

736
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: but it's been a while. Taekwon Lewis had told me

737
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: that he leaned so much on Paris Campbell through the

738
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: adversity that he's been through. So you think about that,

739
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell is not only trying to cope with all

740
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: of what he's dealing with from a physical and emotional

741
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: mental standpoint, but he's also trying to bring along Tae

742
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Kwon Lewis through his devastating injury and the very difficult

743
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: injuries that Tai Kwon has been through. Tai Kwan's leaning

744
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: on Paris Campbell. Paris Campbell just trying to keep himself together,

745
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: stay strong for himself, but also willing to help uplift

746
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: Taiquan to the point that Tai Kuon is back this

747
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: year with a lot to prove that ship on his

748
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: shoulder too. Yeah, it's uh great stuff, guys. That was

749
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: that was great? You know, Yeah, I have nothing else

750
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: to add about um dioa Dangbo though. So he talked

751
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: about hurricane Yeah, Hurricane Dio. I know that was I

752
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting you to shout hurricane though. I am. Well, now, yeah, yes, scorpions,

753
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: let's go. What can dioa Dangbo do this year? I mean,

754
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: he talked about how coming off the Achilles he never

755
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: really felt totally like he felt healthy enough to go

756
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: out and play, but he never felt confident right out there,

757
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: Like there's a difference there between being medically cleared and

758
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: being mentally all the way back and just having that

759
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: confidence to shift the way that you need to to

760
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: make those quick motions obviously, to have that explosiveness, to

761
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: have that reactivity that you need as well. One of

762
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: the things that I loved is yet he has a

763
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: healthy offseason, and he talked a lot about spending time

764
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: working with Robert Mathis. That's one of the things he's

765
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: done in addition to his overall just kind of conditioning

766
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: and strengthening working on technique with Robert Mathis, and I

767
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: think that that is going to have an immense impact

768
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: on his game and his contributions in twenty twenty two

769
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for what he can do this year.

770
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, you got that really strong rotation with him

771
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: kind of on the big end. You know Quitty Unique Dio,

772
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: those guys and and you know obviously buck in the

773
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: interior m those are those are four really good pass

774
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: rushing weapons that the Colts have to have, Like on

775
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: third down, imagine your past rush group for everybody's healthy,

776
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: You've got in Gackway, Buckner, a deng Bo, and Quitty

777
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: Pay on third down. You know that's out of work.

778
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty formidable. Speaking of Quitty Pay, let let's play

779
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: a little game of place your bets. Let's go. You

780
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: have five betting chips that you can go with these

781
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: three questions. Place your chips accordingly on the three scenarios

782
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: based on your confidence level in this scenario happening. So

783
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: let's start here. Quitty Pay notches eight sacks in his

784
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: second season. That's number one. Number two Alec Pierce catches

785
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: six hundred yards and scores five touchdowns as a rookie.

786
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: And number three Matt Ryan throws her forty two hundred

787
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: yards and twenty five touchdowns. So here's how I'm going

788
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: to do it. Just to give you guys an idea.

789
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm putting three chips on Quitty Pay getting eight sacks. Yeah,

790
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: he had four last year and he had a hamstring

791
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: injury for what a third a quarter of the season. Yeah.

792
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: Over the last ten seasons, only seventeen players have had

793
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: eight or more sacks as a rookie, but in among

794
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: second year players, thirty six players have had eight or

795
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: more sacks in their second year. It is statistically much

796
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: more likely that Quitty Pay can do that. Addition to

797
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: us seeing Quitty show that pass rushing juice in you know,

798
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: at times during his rookie years. So I'm putting three

799
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: chips on that. I'm pretty confident in that. I'm gonna

800
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: put my other two on Alec Pierce getting six hundred

801
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns. Again, I went back into UH

802
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: Pro Football References stat head, forty one rookie wide receivers

803
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: in the last ten seasons have had six hundred yards

804
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns. At the least four did it last year,

805
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Devanta Smith, Jalen Waddle, and Amon Ross Saint

806
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: Brown six did it in twenty twenty, and five did

807
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: it in two thousand nineteen. So of those forty one

808
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: rookies to have six hundred yards and five touchdowns. Fifteen

809
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: have come in the last three seasons. That is the

810
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: rise of seven on seven yea among youths and wide

811
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: receivers coming out among the youths college football among the

812
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: youths to seven on seven and run in TikTok's that's

813
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: all the youths do. These sounds like Vincent Gambini, you know,

814
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: the two utes the youths. But so I'm putting all

815
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: five in my chips on Quitty and Pierce and and

816
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan. This isn't and this is not a

817
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: slight on Matt Ryan. I just think he's gonna need

818
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: to throw a lot more pass attempts than he might

819
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: in a run oriented offense to get to forty two

820
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: hundred yards. So you're blaming Jonathan Taylor, is what you're saying.

821
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: I am blaming Jonathan Taylor for this. Matt Ryan, by

822
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: the way, last year he threw five hundred and sixty

823
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: pass attempts, he had thirty nine hundred yards and twenty touchdowns.

824
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz last year had five hundred and sixteen pass attempts,

825
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: which is lower than every year Matt Ryan has had

826
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: since two nine, eighteen, nineteen and twenty. For Matt Ryan, though,

827
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: you're looking at forty nine hundred yards, almost forty five

828
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: hundred yards and almost throwing six hundred passes a year. Yeah,

829
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: he's not gonna throw six hundred passes. You're, by the way,

830
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in twenty twenty through five hundred and forty

831
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 1: three passes, Jacobe through five four hundred forty seven to

832
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. The last time the Colts had a

833
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: quarterback over six hundred was Andrew Luck in two eighteen.

834
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: That's how I'm laying these out, mate, How are you putting?

835
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm buying more ships, No kidding, the stock market sucks.

836
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: Let's get more chips. I'm gonna go one chip on

837
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay and then I'm actually gonna put four of

838
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: them on Matt Ryan. Like this, I understand your logic,

839
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: and I'm with you, and I do agree with you

840
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: to a degree. But if you look at it, forty

841
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: two hundred yards over seventeen games, that's like two hundred

842
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: and fifty yards per game. So it's very doable for

843
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. It's not like he has to set the

844
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: world on fire and put up Patrick Mahomes three hundred

845
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: yard outings every single Sunday. To get those types of numbers.

846
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: I think the really running game is really gonna help

847
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: him be more efficient in the offense. And that's why

848
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: I think yards after catch can really help him get

849
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: four thousand yards and twenty five touchdowns. So forty two

850
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards and twenty five touchdowns for Matt Ryan. That's

851
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: like a very average and that sounds like a bad word,

852
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: but that's that's how good he's been. That's an average

853
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan type of his season. That's how even almost

854
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: four thousand yards. Yeah, he's been over four thousand yards

855
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: ten out of the last eleven seasons. I think it

856
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: is um So I'm very confident Matt Ryan will still

857
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: put up those numbers in a run oriented offense. If

858
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: you will. And I'm saying Quitty pay gets eight sacks

859
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: by Lake week eleven, Yeah, you know, he had four

860
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: sacks in the last half of the season. I think

861
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: he's really going to take that next jump. He's got

862
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: a full year under his belt. He knows how to

863
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: win now against some of the best tackles in the game,

864
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: another year working out with Robert Mathis. As you said,

865
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: I love the impact of Nate Ali on this this

866
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: group of pass rushers too. I think he's bringing a

867
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: new energy in a different dynamic. What does he say?

868
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: I am a train on my tracks and if you're

869
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: in my way, get out of the way, basically is

870
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: how he's Teaching's Jack Parkman from Major League two. I

871
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: don't recognize major League two because I can't do if

872
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: West got around the sequels, isn't playing get off the tracks.

873
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: I can't watch it. I can't do it. Putting all

874
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: my chips on Pay and Matt Roy, I think six

875
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: hundred yards for Pierce, it's if he gets it, that's

876
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: a great season. But again, Pittman only had five hundred

877
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: yards his first year. Then he took a big year,

878
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: big jump, I should say, in year number two. So

879
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm confident in Quitty Pay on defense, Matt Ryan on offense.

880
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm going two chips on Matt Ryan throws for forty

881
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and twenty five touchdowns, two chips on

882
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: Quitty for eight sacks, and then one chip on ap

883
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: with six hundred yards and five tea that's pretty good.

884
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: You're truly democratic. We've got This is a good distribution though. Yeah,

885
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: like I threw three on Quitty, may take through four

886
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: on Matt Ryan. I threw two on Pierce. You know, Lara,

887
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: Lara spread him around. I like the idea of spreading

888
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: it around. Yeah, I'm frank reck with the offense. Go

889
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: someone call it head. You went to the Conran, you

890
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: bet on all the horses. It's actually hit the exact.

891
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I talked to us about that

892
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: or not, but yeah, so you're buying lunch then, yeah,

893
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: where where's my free coffee? You want to start issues

894
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: with their mobile order? Why don't you buy me? N

895
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: you know what it's coming tomorrow, I'm saying on the

896
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: podcast Starbucks Everybody Inorrow? Yeah, for sure, Betty, Betty coveting it.

897
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: You'll leave that out, Betty betting on all the horses.

898
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: There's a Simpsons episode they go to the racetrack and

899
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: Marge says, where's where do I go to just place

900
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: a bet that all the horses are gonna have a

901
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: good time? And they point to another counter and it

902
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: just says, woos bets who bets? All right, let's get

903
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: back in to just a little bit more football talk.

904
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: Here with our Twitter mail bag question of the mail

905
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: It never fills and makes me want to my tail.

906
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad to have the Blues Clues jingle back

907
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: in the podcast this week. Our question this week comes

908
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: from at dow Junior eleven on Twitter. Does the change

909
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: of defensive scheme d line philosophy fit and lead more

910
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: toward playing time for Ben Banagu? Which I think is

911
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: interesting because we're just talking about Nate Ali and is

912
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: attacking oriented of philosophy. But I want to use this

913
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: question to talk a little bit about Ben Banigu, but

914
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: just some other guys maybe who we haven't talked about

915
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: a ton who are still gonna have some opportunities on

916
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: this team this year. You know, you think about a

917
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: guy like Zaire Franklin. Lara, you remember back when when

918
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: the Colts brought in their coaching staff and I think

919
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: you said you had a conversation with Richard Smith and

920
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: Zai and he said he loves Zaire. Yeah, like that

921
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: type of thing, like, Hey, let's not forget about Zyr

922
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: Franklin and what he can do as kind of that Yeah,

923
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: team captain, great special teams guy, but what he can

924
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: do on defense In addition to what he can do

925
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: on special teams. Ben banegu a guy who last year

926
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: had this great training camp, you know, did some good things,

927
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: then kind of got lost in the shuffle as the

928
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: season went on. You know, still a lot of athletic

929
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: upside there. If he can put together another good training

930
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: camp like that, maybe this gets him on the field

931
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more than the five or six snaps

932
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: a game we saw early last season. One of the

933
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: things it's interesting, and I remember talking to Ben about this, uh,

934
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: probably this time last year, is the fact that he

935
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: had actually played a decent amount of linebacker in college

936
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: and then had moved up to defensive line. So he

937
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: brings a different element within that group than the other

938
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: guys have with a bit of that versatility. So it's

939
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: going to be intriguing to see how they utilize that

940
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: skill set within this group and maybe how he brings

941
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: you a little something different on that defensive front. Yeah,

942
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: he brings a lot of speed off the edge where

943
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: you've got you know, guys like Quitty, and you know

944
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: Quitty can do speed and power. Dio is a big,

945
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: powerful guy. You know, Unique is such a technician and

946
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: he's super athletic, but banagu that straight line speed. Interested

947
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: to see how Nate Ali goes ahead and uses that. Again,

948
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: this is something that you're going to start working through

949
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: during OTAs. You know, what what can he do in

950
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: this defense? What can these guys do in this defense?

951
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: You know some other other guys here. You know, we've

952
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about Rodney McCloud in the back end,

953
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: but I kind of want to bring him back up. Oh,

954
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: he was fun to hear from last week. Really fun

955
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: to hear from. Yeah, really like to hearing from Rodney McLoud.

956
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: But you know, we've got a lot of attention now

957
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: on Nick Cross, the rookie safety coming in. Let's not

958
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: forget the Colts have a ten year veteran in that

959
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: room where they signed in Rodney McCloud, who when you

960
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: look at last year, I mean, this is a guy

961
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: who still played really good football for the Philadelphia Eagles

962
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: right in the back end, by the way, starter for

963
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: ten years. For crying out loud. We got some breaking

964
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: news from at rap Sheet on Twitter. Oh, I was

965
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: like looking for it. Where the two thousand, twenty three

966
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: and two thou twenty four NFL scouting combines will be

967
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, Indiana. Wow, we did it, We did it.

968
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: The Combine is staying in Indie. Yes, thank god. It's

969
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: like common sense prevailed the next two years, next two

970
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: years too. Wow, that's great. That is it is huge,

971
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: exactly where it should be. And that was what we

972
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: heard from like everyone, I mean even people with McCarthy,

973
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for bidding to

974
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: host the Combine, compliments Indianapolis on how it's set up. Yeah,

975
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean the people who we were talking to you

976
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: from NFL Network and you think about it, their studios

977
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: are based out there in LA. They have that studio

978
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: there at the Rams Chargers facility in Englewood, you know,

979
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: where you would obviously be hosting some of the Combine events.

980
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, no, we love Indie, keep it here.

981
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: So just such a slam dunk decision. And I'm glad

982
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: that common sense, common sense prevails, because it in this

983
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: day and age, it very rarely does, unfortunately, but in

984
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: this case, that's awesome, great news. To move it out

985
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis would have been such a slap in the

986
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: face to the city of Indianapolis for everything it has

987
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: done to host the Combine and make it such such

988
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: a successful event. A slap in the face to the

989
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: rest of the league that likes coming here and everyone's

990
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: jobs are a lot easier coming to the Combine when

991
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: it's in Indianapolis, right, and frankly, a slap in the

992
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: face to football fans who like, what could does this do?

993
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: Them to move it? Except now all the storylines from

994
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: the Combine are going to be people complaining about the

995
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: Combine not being here. So thank god it's still here.

996

1070
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: thousand downloads, So not on the mister Brightside level. But

1071
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: I think all good answers, all good answers right there,

1072
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 1: those are those are good. I think we know what

1073
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: we're doing on Friday night karaoke and winning a million bucks.

1074
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Let's do it hey, By the way, before we get

1075
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: out here, another piece of little breaking news, just a

1076
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: roster move today. Roster move just came in. The Colts

1077
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: signed running back Tyson Williams, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens

1078
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: last year average five point three yards per carry in

1079
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: thirteen games, thirty five rushes on hundred eighty five yards

1080
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: one touchdown um and waived center Alex Millette, who was

1081
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent. So the Colts down to twenty

1082
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: one undrafted free agents on their roster with the addition

1083
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: of Tyson Williams, another running back for that room. Going

1084
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: to be some good competition there to see who's going

1085
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: to be that third running back any ways, we're gonna

1086
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: get out of here. We're gonna go do some karaoke.

1087
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: Let's go. What's I don't know any good karaoke spots here?

1088
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: In Indianapolis, Ah. There's a place on the south side

1089
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 1: called the Tailgate that has karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays.

1090
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: The Long Anchor Dog's former bar used to have karaoke.

1091
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: Um I typically see here. I have a policy on karaoke.

1092
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't karaoke in the town in which I live.

1093
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: I only karyoke is flying to Denver, Colorado, when we're

1094
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 1: going to Star Bar. Is that a famous karaoke spot.

1095
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: It's a good karaoke spot in Denver. I went to

1096
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: once where I sung all right no Wednesday night before

1097
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: the Broncos. There you go. So you've actually karaoke, Bob Seeker,

Speaker 1: have you karaoke? Mister? I have? I have in Columbus,

1099
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: Ohio on a Monday night karaoke bar near the campus,

1100
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: because Dan and I had just seen Brandon Flowers, the

1101
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,839
Speaker 1: lead singer of The Killers. He was doing a solo tour.

1102
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: We saw Brandon Flowers at a venue that is much

1103
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: like the Vogue in Broader, I mean almost identical. There

1104
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: was a storm. The power went out, so we had

1105
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: to wait for like two more hours before he was

1106
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: able to come on. They had all the power restored.

1107
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: We ended up meeting him on his tour bus after

1108
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: and we're like, this night cannot end. We're going to

1109
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: karaoke and we're gonna sing mister Brightside to the six people,

1110
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: the six people who are out on a Monday night

1111
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 1: in Columbus, Ohio. If anyone ever runs into someone who

1112
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: is a Bears Beat reporter and they want to know

1113
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: what the entire Bears Beat favorite story is about me,

1114
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: it's when I sung Night Moves by Bob Seeger on

1115
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: Bourbon Street in New Orleans before Bears Saints game in

1116
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: two thousands. Should I text Rich Campbell right now? Yes,

1117
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: text Rich Campbell right now. He will probably laugh about it.

1118
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: I literally I get thrown I get thrown under the

1119
00:57:56,440 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: bus like once a year because of that from you know,

1120
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:01,800

1121
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: that night on Burbon Street. So yes, I've experienced singing

1122
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: that song quite a bit at karaoke. Anyways, I disagree,
