I'm just saying we have a 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: lot of news to go over. Obviously, some new additions 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: in the Colts camp. The owners meetings had happened a 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: few days back down in West Palm Beach, Florida. At 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: the breakers. We're gonna hear from Frank Reich, Jim Rse 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: did some talk in obviously, Chris Ballard as well talked 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 1: to the press. But the news is a little bit 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: before that. The Coats got their quarterback, but Casey here 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: it is their fifth quarterback in five years that will 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: be starting the twenty twenty two season. Matt Ryan, the veteran, 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: the leader, the guy who you know who's in charge 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: when he walks into the buildings at thirteen years of 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: doing this in Casey, He's the type of guy that 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: was the best player in Pop Warner. He was the 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: best player at high school. He was the best player 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: in college. He won an MVP in the NFL. He 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: knows this position. I know we've talked about this before 29 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: us how important the quarterback position is in the NFL. 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: But boil boy, do we have a good one here? 31 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, making chicken salad out of chicken 32 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: cocas sometimes is what you have to do in the NFL. 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: And the Coats didn't have their arms around a quarterback 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: after releasing or excuse me, trading Carson Wentz to the Commanders. 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: But they finally got one when a small window opened 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: up with the Deshaun Watson potential trade to Atlanta, where 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: they were saying, hey, Matt Ryan got a big ghost 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: of reality there. It says, hey, if this can't come in, 39 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking for work. And I think that case he 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: opened the door for other teams. Obviously, the Colts to 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: contact Matt Ryan and his representatives and say, hey, if 42 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: we can work out a trade for it, would you 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: come here and sling the pigskin around. Absolutely. I mean 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: we saw that on the first episode of With the 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: Next Pick that just started this week, and Chris Ballard was, 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, very kennedy. He said, you know, honestly, there 47 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: was a little bit of luck involved, and then that's 48 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it takes. Sometimes you got to 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: be kind in the right place at the right time. 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: But one of the things we've kind of emphasised, you know, 51 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: throughout this entire process is Chris Ballard's motto is, you know, 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: stay patient. There's no need to make knee jerk decisions 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: right now, and just be patient during a case. Tell 54 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: that to the fan base. Tell that to the fan 55 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: base that want anybody who comes available, including the Julio 56 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: Joneses of the world, to say he would work here, 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: get him in here, and get him in here quick. 58 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: It just doesn't work. I know, I sound like a 59 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: stick in the mud, but it literally isn't fantasy football 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: when you're playing with contracts, veterans, where they fit in 61 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: the locker room, etc. I think that's the It's all 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: about fit in the NFL. I mean, yeah, maybe the 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: Colts haven't won X amount of Super Bowls like the 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: Rams or whatever recently, but if you look at the 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: success the Colts have had over the last decade or so, 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: part of that is because they get the right guys 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: inside the building. And that's what Chris Ballor does. He 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: does his due diligence. He checks, He makes sure these 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: guys are going to fit better. And I think, and 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I think, if you were taking a poll of everybody 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: in this building, I know for sure, and you said, 72 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: how does Mitt Ryan fit into this locker room? I 73 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: would say he's the best choice of anybody that not 74 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: even was available, best choice of anybody out there, because 75 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: everybody that has talked to Matt Ryan, I mean from 76 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, the PR staff all the way down to 77 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: the cafeteria ladies, they're all like, this guy is perfect. 78 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: So I think it is a perfect slam dunk that 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: they have done here with Matt Ryan. Absolutely, everybody talking 80 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: about where are the weapons? Where are Matt Ryan's weapons? 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We got Zach Pascal. He's 82 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: out in Philadelphia now with Nick Siriani and it's been 83 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: a hot button topic with the talking heads and national 84 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: here in local as well. He doesn't have enough of 85 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: weapons to catch the football for Frank Reich earlier mentioned 86 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: this week. He likes Paris Campbell. He likes what Michael Stron, 87 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Desmond Pattman, Ashton Dulan, even Kiki qtie Case people are saying, 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: we need bigger, we need to Hey, don't worry. There's 89 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: a wide receiver heavy draft that's coming out. Stars are 90 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: gonna be made each NFL draft. Hopefully it's this year. 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: They will get some help at the wide receiver position. 92 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: But here's what we talked a little bit about last year. 93 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: The quarterback's best friend. Let's hope it is this year. 94 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about Naim Hines in the backfield. Get 95 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: him more involved in the offense. Do And we talked 96 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: about it last year with Carson Wentz. I'd said, Hey, 97 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: big year for Naim Hines. He's going to be a 98 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: safety net for this offense, a guy that you can 99 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: go to and get positive yards. Case Naim Hines this 100 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: year with Matt Ryan a lot more touches than last year. 101 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: What kind of gadget player or not? Gadget. I don't 102 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: want to say that he doesn't turn into a gadget, 103 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: but no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, 104 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: no gadget players the guys run from the eye formation 105 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: with a fullback in front of him. In this offense, 106 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: he's been split out wide, he's been split out in 107 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: the slot. He's a jack all trades. Do you like 108 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Ninaim Hines in a Matt Ryan matchup? Absolutely. I love 109 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: the fact that we're probably going to see him a 110 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: little bit more in the slot. That's one of the 111 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: things they've talked about, and that's one of the things 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: that I think everybody would agree. Just getting him the 113 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: football as many touches as possible, because you know, one 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: of the way he used to look at it. He's 115 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: a running back, that's what position he plays. But you 116 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: look at the other guy and that backfield and it's 117 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. You don't want to take anything away from 118 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. So I think the Colts offense understands, hey, 119 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: we succeed when they both touched the ball a handful 120 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: of times, but you don't want to get rid of 121 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: some of the carries here. So therefore, I think putting 122 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: him in the slot and letting him utilize different areas 123 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: of the football field is going to be key. I'm 124 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about the idea of Matt Ryan, who 125 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: if you look at his career, he has made running 126 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: backs a big part of the offense. I mean, you 127 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: look at any of Matt Ryan's Falcons led offenses, you 128 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: can always name a couple of their running backs in 129 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: those teams. I mean those teams in the Super Bowl. 130 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean DeVante Freeman made a name because Matt Ryan 131 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: was under Sinners. So there's some guys that I'm really 132 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how Naim Hines can kind of 133 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: encapsulate into that because I think you know him in 134 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: the slot. That gives you you're looking at weapons, and 135 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: who's a receiver that's another weapon that you know wasn't 136 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: highly utilized last year that can definitely be taken to 137 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: a different level this year. And let's just look at it. 138 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: Let's say you have those three weapons on the field 139 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: at once. You've got Pittman, You've got Hines, and you've 140 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: got Taylor. Defensive coordinators are a little fearful of those 141 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: three right there. I mean, do you need to have seven? 142 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think if you have those three, 143 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: then those other pieces really start to form. Absolutely and Casey, 144 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: don't forget the last word.

Okay. 201 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: A few days back, JJ stankabits Colts dot Com senior writer. 202 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: He cut up with Colts head coach Frank Reich at 203 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: those owners meetings down in Florida. JJ asked Frank about 204 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: the type of guy the Colts are getting on and 205 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: off the field, with a guy like Matt Ryan, the 206 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: counting player that we're looking for, great football character, right, toughness, 207 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: tenacious toughness, like love to play football, love to practice. 208 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: Here's a guy fourteen year career, missed very few snaps. 209 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: This guy loves to play, he loves to practice. You know. Secondly, 210 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: he's just been a model of consistency over those years. 211 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: And then he's also shown, you know, that he has 212 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: what it takes, that kind of person who the moment's 213 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: never too big. You know, he can be at his 214 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: best in the biggest moments. In those big moments. You know, 215 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: he's I believe, sixth all time in game winning drives. 216 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: That's something you mentioned earlier today, that that ability to 217 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: come up with those plays when your team needs it 218 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: the most, to just kind of go get a bucket, 219 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: if you will. That's something that to have them in 220 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback has got to make your life a little 221 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: bit easier as a head coach. When you get in 222 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: those those big situations, there's no doubt you want to 223 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: try to When you get in those situations, you're typically 224 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: you're going to go to your go to stuff. And 225 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: when you go to your go to stuff, the plays, 226 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: your past concepts to run whatever it is, the play 227 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: action stuff, just the dropback stuff, and you just you 228 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: need that quarterback to direct the ship and then somewhere 229 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: along there, you've got to make a big time play. 230 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: That's what you see year in and year out. That's 231 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: what this guy's That's what Matt has done his whole career. 232 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned the games that he's missed only three of 233 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: them in his entire career. And he's someone who who 234 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: talked to us about, you know, the dedication he has 235 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: to take care of his body, to sleep, to recovery, 236 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: to all these things. For him to play fourteen years 237 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: and to have that track record, how does that benefit 238 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: him as you now look at the kind of quarterback 239 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: he is he enters his late thirties. Yeah, I mean 240 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: that even though he's played that much football, because of 241 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: the care that he's taken in himself. You don't see 242 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: any diminishing physical skills. I mean that just shows up 243 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: on the tape, you know, even I mean, right, Matt's 244 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: not a guy who scrambles around a lot, but even 245 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: when he does, you can see he can still move. 246 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: You know, he's not just stationary in the pocket. He 247 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: can he can extend plays, eyes down to field and 248 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: make big plays. I wanted to ask you about that too, 249 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: because something I noticed when I watched some of his 250 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: tape was that, Yeah, he maybe not be the most 251 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback like you think of a mobile quarterback, but 252 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: he can move in the pocket. And it's something that 253 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: you know, I remember talking to DeForest Buckner about Tom 254 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Brady in kind of a similar vein, and that you know, 255 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: he's not going to take off and run all the time, 256 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: but he knows how to move in the pocketing, he 257 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: knows how to avoid pressures. That's something you see with 258 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: him as well. Yeah, there's no doubt. And as you said, JJ, 259 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: there are those kind of movements. There's there's a little 260 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: shuffle here, shuffle there, or hey, step up in the pocket, 261 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: moved to the right, step up in the pocket, moved 262 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: to the left, and then occasionally, you know, he still 263 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: does have that little bit in him. You know, he's 264 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: not looking to run or he's not looking to you know, 265 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: make that kind of a play, but there's still some 266 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: juice left in those legs. As you've got to know him, 267 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: and just the conversations he had with him, whether it 268 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: was on that zoom, just having him come into the building, 269 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: having his son give you the biggest high five I've 270 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: ever seen anyone give. Just the kind of personality and 271 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: the willingness to learn that he has. How does that 272 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: kind of mesh with your philosophy and Marcus Brady's philosophy 273 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: on this coaching staff. Yeah, I mean it's tremendous because 274 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, we're so collaborative. You know, we're so collaborative, 275 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: you know. We we definitely have a set offense that 276 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: we want to run with ideas and schemes and how 277 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: we've envisioned it to be, but we always leave room 278 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: to adapt to the players that we have, in particularly 279 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback. We have so to get a guy like 280 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Matt in the room and talk it through and hash 281 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: it out to find the tweaks the points of emphasis 282 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: that we want to have as a big deal well, 283 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: what are you excited to learn from him? You know, 284 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: from his experience over you know, a decade and a 285 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: half in the NFL. Yeah, one of the things is, 286 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, what are his go to plays? You know, 287 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: like when all those game winning drives, you know, to 288 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: go back and watch some of those with them, you know, 289 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: go watch all those game winning drives. Tell me what 290 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: you were thinking. Tell me about these plays so that 291 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: when we get in those same moments, right, it would 292 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: be foolish of me to you know, we might dial 293 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: a few new things up, but you know, we might 294 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: it might be a little mix of both. You know, 295 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: they take a little bit of the old at a 296 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: little bit of the new. Just generally speaking, when when 297 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: you're bringing in a new quarterback, how how much of 298 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: the offense is similar to what you know, every other 299 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: team are on the league runs? And then what's the 300 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: percentage of the of stuff that's different, whether it's language, 301 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: it's you know, route depth, just certain little things like that. Yeah, 302 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: the language can be pretty different, but it's kind of 303 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: all related. Yeah, you know, it's kind of all related, 304 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, and the way you call formations and stuff 305 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: like that, and it's all systematized so, you know, Matt 306 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: Wright has been fourteen years old one spot, but as 307 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: he's told us, he's had three or four different coordinators, 308 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: so he's probably had exposure. In fact, I know he's 309 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: had some exposure to some things that we do. So 310 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: that makes for a quick transition, transition where you can 311 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: translate that stuff in your mind and put it into 312 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: categories and then you learn it that much quicker. So 313 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: what does the the OTA process look like then when 314 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: you get him and you can actually get on the 315 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: grass with a ball with him in a couple of 316 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: weeks months, I guess yeah. I mean in phase one, right, 317 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: the coaches can't be out in the field, So the 318 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: first two weeks it's just meeting time with him, and 319 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: that that's very valuable time. You know, we'll have a 320 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of just meeting time. But then during 321 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: that meeting time, hey, he'll be out in the field 322 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: with the players and directed by himself, throwing, not overdoing it, 323 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: but just kind of get an initial work with those guys. 324 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: And then a couple of weeks of that and then 325 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: we'll get into phase two. Now the coaches can get 326 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: out there, we can watch it, and everything will be 327 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: on film again talking it all through. It's very valuable. 328 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: So let's move on to another piece of news that 329 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: happened today, John Fox being brought on as a senior 330 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: defensive assistant, a guy's forty years of coaching experience, coached 331 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: a number of top defenses in the NFL. Just what 332 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: are you and Gus looking forward to what John can 333 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: bring into the building. Yeah, just his experience. You know, Hey, 334 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: Gus hired Gus to bring the system that he's run 335 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: and kind of perfected and excited about that. But as 336 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: we've talked about it, you're always trying to stay one 337 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: step ahead, you know. And you know, John Fox has 338 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: just done that. He's done at a high level for 339 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: a long time and so and it's been differently than 340 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: what Gus has done. So you know this will be, 341 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, John not coming in and teaching us his defense. 342 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: This is, Hey, you come in and learn Gus's defense 343 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: and do what we do. But now, hey, let's use 344 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: that vast experience that you have for a few tweaks 345 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: here or an idea. There is part of staying one 346 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: step ahead, sometimes being able to pull from stuff in 347 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: the past, you know, with with John Fox, some of 348 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: the defenses that he kind of helped pioneer back in 349 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: the nineties with the New York Giants to be able 350 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: to kind of pull from some of that information to 351 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: now apply to know, is that something that can happen there. Yeah, 352 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. You want to pull on that kind 353 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: of experience and particular in particular, you want to pull 354 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: on the kind of experience. Hey, we're in the AFC. 355 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about it. All these great quarterbacks are in 356 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: the AFC. So you know he's gone up against a 357 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: lot of great quarterbacks in his time. That's that's a 358 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: big part of this, you know what I mean, that's 359 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: a big part of this. So kind of just adding 360 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: that element of experience so that on defense, you know, 361 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: we got you know, we got Gus Bradley, right, he's 362 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: he's the cornerstone, he's the coordinator. And we got Richard Smith, 363 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: who's been around the block a few times. You know, 364 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: he's he's he's seen the coach a lot of football, 365 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: Ron Miles in a secondary. Now you get John Fox 366 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: and you know, for us to go where we want 367 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: to go and be the team I really want us. 368 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: I believe that we have the personnel on defense. You know, 369 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: we're right at that top ten deal. You know, just 370 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: to continue to ascend as a defense can be can 371 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: be a big thing for us. And another big personnel 372 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: addition on that side of the ball. Unique and Goquay 373 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: coming in from the Las Vegas Raiders. What what stands 374 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: out about Unique on tape and the kind of player 375 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: that he is. Just it's just proven production, you know, 376 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: both with sacks but with hurries and affect the quarterback, 377 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: effect the quarterback. You know, he's been a playmaker that's 378 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: been proven. Um. You know, he's hard to block. He's 379 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: got that combination of speed and bend around the edge 380 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: and experienced, savvy player. You know, you talk to him 381 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: and I always love this. It's never a surprise, but 382 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: you talk to these good players and it takes about 383 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: one minute to figure out, Oh, this guy's really smart. 384 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: Like it's not just physical talent. He knows how to 385 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: play the game. He knows how to think about it. 386 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: So I think that's what we're getting. Kind of nice 387 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: to not have to game plan for him now this year. Yeah, exactly, 388 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: because as we have had too so many times, you know, 389 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: him playing in our division and then obviously last year 390 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: and with the Vegas out in Vegas. Just a couple 391 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: more for you here, Frank. You talked a little bit 392 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: about Niheim Hines and wanting to get him more involved 393 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: as you kind of get this version of the twenty 394 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty two offense. Where do you see Naheam fitting in 395 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: with the rest of the playmakers in this offense? Yeah, 396 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: we do. I mean, I think Matt's kind of quarterback 397 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: who want to get into him involved as well. You know, 398 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: we don't want to force it. We don't have to 399 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: force it, you know, but it can be We're going 400 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: to spread the ball around. But you know, we can 401 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: just make it a point to, you know, to continue 402 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: to develop the heam, you know, in every aspect that 403 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: we can utilize him, you know, as a runner, you know, 404 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: when we use him out there in a slot as 405 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: a receiver some and do some of the different things 406 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: we do. Some of the time he and Jonathan are 407 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: on the field together. That only seems to give teams 408 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue. So we'll continue to 409 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: look at ways that we can utilize him and complement 410 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: the other players on offense. Michael Pittman Jr. How does 411 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: his mentality, that physical, tough, you know, go up and 412 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: get it mentality. How does that benefit Matt Ryan stepping 413 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: in now? Yeah, I mean it's a big deal because 414 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: you know this game is so hard, right, You're always 415 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: looking for you know, you get the one on one. 416 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: But when you get a quarterback like Matt Ryan, who 417 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: is that accurate that even when Pitt's covered, he's not covered. 418 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, I got confidence to throw it up to him. 419 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: I see the little window where I can get it. Yeah, 420 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: the defenders all over him, but hey, there's that little 421 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: window right here. I can put the ball where I want. 422 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: I have confidence that my guy can come down with it. Hey, 423 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: thanks to head coach Frank Right and JJ Stake if 424 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: it's good stuff finding out about what to expect out 425 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan.

Let's get into the weekend and 483 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: let's bust out the NFL grab Bag. It's time for 484 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: the NFL grab Bag and a sort of look at 485 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: what's going on in the NFL. The NFL grab Bag 486 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends at Meyer Meyer the 487 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: official supercenter of the Indianapolis Colts and proud sponsor of 488 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: hundreds of local sports teams. Ross the Midwest. Let's get 489 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: into this casey led by the Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles, 490 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: they proposed to change to the overtime rules for the 491 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: postseason that will allow both teams to have a possession, 492 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: and it was approved. The NFL owner said, yes, we 493 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: like that idea. It is now in stone. Of the 494 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: last twelve overtime postseason games, ten of the teams that 495 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: won those games won the coin toss. Now, we didn't 496 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: see the Bengals this path postseason defeat the Chiefs in 497 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one playoffs after the Chiefs won the toss. 498 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: But with the new overtime rule case, do you expect 499 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: to see more teams defer and take the ball second? 500 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: I would assume so. I think you're gonna kind of 501 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: have a little similar vibe to what you see in 502 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: college football with kind of letting the first offense go 503 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: out there and see what you have to do to 504 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: beat them. But then in turn, I'll be interested to 505 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: see if those teams, you know, let's say the team 506 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: gets some football first, if they score, are they gonna 507 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: go for two? Just so that you know, you got 508 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: to score a two point conversion? Who are to tie us? 509 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: If that happens, I'll be really that's kind of where 510 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: it's gonna get all of analytical and fun in that 511 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: overtime period when it comes to the postseason, for sure, 512 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Bills overtime, did that have anything to 513 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: come into play with this rule? I think absolutely. I mean, 514 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would agree that was 515 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: probably the best game of the entire season in postseason, 516 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: and maybe the best game of the last decade. Man. 517 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean that game was incredibly was I mean the 518 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: fact that the Bills scored within thirteen seconds left on 519 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: the board and the Chiefs came down to tie it 520 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: and sent in overtime was just incredible in that and 521 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: then you just knew whoever was gonna get the football 522 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: first was going to score. I mean, it was. It 523 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: was must watch TV, that's for sure, that is for sure. 524 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: Earlier on this show, we talked about Tart Glenn joining 525 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: the Ring of Honor members Jim er say he announced 526 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: that at the owner's meeting earlier this week. He's going 527 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: to be the next player added to the Ring of Honor. 528 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying overdue anything like that. Everyone will 529 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: get their due, but this is a cornerstone people. I 530 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: guess this is a guy that had respect, commanded respect 531 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: in the locker room. Was a leader led by example, 532 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: not a big ra ra I'm gonna make a lot 533 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: of speeches, guys, but when he had to, he got 534 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: the brocker room's ear. And I'm talking about Tarret Glenn 535 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: going up in the rafters forever. I could not be 536 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: happier for one of the leaders of the Colts run 537 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: of success over the decade, Tart Glenn protecting the blindside 538 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: of Peyton Manning going up in the ring of honor. 539 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: Well done, big man. You're a great player and somebody 540 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: that we don't take for granted because at that size Casey, 541 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: at that size of that man, and to do what 542 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: he did, I'm not being funny. That's a ballerina in 543 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: a big man's body. And what an athlete he was. 544 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: You know, that's one of the things that when you 545 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: look at you know, you look at this franchise, you 546 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: look at two things. You look at quarterback play and 547 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: the play of their blindside, and that is one of 548 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: the things that goes hand in hand when you look 549 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: at Tart Glenn and then of recent bias. You know, 550 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: Anthony Castanzo. Those are two of the best left tackles 551 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: of the last fifty years, and they've been you know, 552 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: playing and wearing the horse shoe only. So I'm very, 553 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: very excited for Tart. It's one of those things that 554 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: growing up in Indianapolis during the Manning heyday, you didn't 555 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: go anywhere without seeing Tart Glenn because he was the 556 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: reason that that offense. I mean, maybe not the sole reason, 557 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: but he was one of the big reasons why that 558 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: offense ticked. And I mean it's very very you know, 559 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: very happy for Tarik. And I mean, listen to that 560 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: interview that you and you and Bill did with him, 561 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, a couple months ago. Just fantastic. I'm so 562 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: excited to see him back here in Indianapolis getting his due. Yeah. 563 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: Check it out on the Colts Audio Network at Colts 564 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: dot com. Don't forget download the Colts app case. Bruce 565 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: Arians says goodbye, Tom Brady comes back. Bruce Arians says, Hey, 566 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: it's time to walk away. I'll be succeeded by Tod Bowls. 567 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: He talked about a succession plan. He talked about walking 568 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: away from the game at the right time. As a coach. 569 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: He's now in the front office. I love Ba. He's 570 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: had a couple of us since here in Indianapolis. Jim 571 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: Ursay's a big fan of Bruce Arians and it just 572 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: feels right. I mean, it just feels about the right 573 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: thing that he's saying. Hey, I'm still gonna have my 574 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: hand in football down there in the front office, but 575 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm handing the whistle over to Todd Bowles down there. 576 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: And I had a chance to talk to Clyde Christiansen 577 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: earlier today actually about what this you know, this move 578 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: meant for the Buccaneers. France shies and I quite frankly, 579 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: I asked Clyde, Hey, do you still have a job 580 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: down there? I mean, you got a new coach and 581 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: head god Boles. He didn't want to run you out 582 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: of there, he said no, no, he said, Hey, they 583 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: were pretty confident that Brady was gonna come back. You know, 584 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: they were reading the reports of things that Tom put 585 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: out there on his social media pages recently after the 586 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: loss in the playoffs. But they were confident and fingers 587 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: crossed that he was gonna come back. And sure enough, 588 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: one day they had to find out. Cophone conversation said yeah, 589 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: I think I'm ready to do it. So Clyde wasn't 590 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: surprised that he come back, and Clyde's not surprised that 591 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: Bruce is walking away. He said earlier, no risk get, 592 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: no biscuit. He said, that's what he brought to the 593 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: modern day game of the NFL. No risk it, no biscuit. 594 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: He had that sort of USFL swagger about him in 595 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, meaning, Hey, I'm gonna let this thing rip. 596 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't care who my quarterback is. We're gonna take 597 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: you out over the top of your defense. I'm gonna 598 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: try and throw the ball down the field. That's what 599 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: he did. You saw with Ben Roethlisberger, the success he's had, 600 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck included. The list goes on and on. Bruce Arians. 601 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: That is a rare, unique type of a quarterback. And 602 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say quarterback guru, but a guy that really 603 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: has blossom as far as young guys going and making 604 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: the best out of their careers and making these guys 605 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: hall of famers. Bruce Arians, I think is a Hall 606 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: of Fame coach. He's got his ring, he's got his 607 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: NFL Coach of the Year honors. Don't forget here in Indianapolis, 608 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, standing, oh to big Ba Casey, that's 609 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: the one, and that's one of a kind type of 610 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: a coach in the NFL. And you didn't have a 611 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: chance to ever have a conversation with him. She's so pete. 612 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: There was nobody like him. You're gonna get dog cussed 613 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: out even if you're sitting at a restaurant table with them, 614 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: if you did something wrong. It's exactly right. I mean, 615 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: a one of a kind type of coach and one 616 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: of a time, one of a kind type of person. 617 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: So you know, it's one of those things. We were 618 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: glad to be able to call him, you know, a 619 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: member of this Colts franchise, you know, for a period 620 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: of time. So definitely a tip of the cap to 621 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: bea for sure. He talked about one, and I'll give 622 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: one Bruce arians story that I got from somebody down 623 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: the Grape Fine. He's head coach at Temple. The Temple 624 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: like Catholic Society of Philadelphia says, hey, we want to 625 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: come out and watch Temple football practice. So they take 626 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: two buses out there, the priests, nuns, and all the 627 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: school kids. They line up on the sidelines. They're watching 628 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: Temple practice and Bruce Arians starts dog cussing his players, 629 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, filth and foul and mother this and everything. Boom, 630 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: the nuns swept to kids together, throw them back on 631 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: the bus. Didn't even make it a quarter's worth of 632 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 1: practice because of the dog custing that was going on. 633 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: That's what you get with Ba. So again, tip of 634 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: the cap and we we're losing a good one there. 635 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: But at least they'll have his hands in football. Casey right, agreed, 636 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: that's the big man. At least he's still gonna have 637 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: his hands in. And I think for Todd Bowles, it's 638 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: really good that he gets a second chance because I 639 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: think he was, you know, a really good coach. He 640 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: just was in a bad situation in his first head 641 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: coaching stint. So really looking forward to him getting his 642 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: hands on, you know, a pretty good roster there in 643 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Good dude down there, Bruce Arians, Well done, sir. 644 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: You have a great career and you folks have a 645 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: great weekend.
