17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: love about you is how many times a state champion

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: in high school football? For you when you were playing two?

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: That's two for the Voice of the Colts. Now, the

20
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: best part about it is I love it. I might

21
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: once a year I remind all of the Colts fans

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: out there we got the best in the business on

23
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: play by play. But when he was playing football in

24
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: college at Franklin College right down the street. Correct, you

25
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: would go up to the media box in your pad

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: press box, take your helmet up press box and set

27
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: up the radio portion of covering the game, and you

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: put all the bells and whistles and wires together with

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: your helmet by your side in full path.

30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: I got everybody on the air for a game that

31
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: I was going to play it. Yes, in a nutshell.

32
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, one day we will see the story,

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: the Matt Taylor story come to your television set.

34
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's watching that. I'm entering your seventh Sorry,

35
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: got you. Yeah, congrats on that brother.

36
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: Appreciate invest in the business and a young buck doing

37
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: it too.

38
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 5: All right.

39
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: Coming up on tonight's show're going to break down the

40
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: Colts he's in the franchise tag on Michael Pittman Junior.

41
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: This week we're also going to have Shane stich in

42
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: right here in studio as he talks about Pittman's importance

43
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: to the Colts and uh, you know, his thoughts on

44
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: the off season draft and whatnot coming up so far,

45
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: And in segment two, we're going to break down that

46
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: draft some positional depth with Emery Hunt. You want to

47
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: listen to him. He's great NFL Draft insider from CBS,

48
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: but mayta the news of the week before free agency

49
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: starts next week, the Colts place the non exclusive tag

50
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: on wide receiver Michael Pittman Junior. The tag carries a

51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: value of twenty one point eight million for wide receivers.

52
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: May take it's all yours. Tell me what this means.

53
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: Well, this move doesn't preclude, if you will, the Colts

54
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: and Michael Pittman Junior agreeing on a long term contract

55
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: in the next couple of months. An extension can still

56
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: be achieved prior to July fifteenth. That's the deadline, so

57
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 4: they have until the summer. But failing that, Pittman would

58
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: play next season under the one year deal and the

59
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: two sides would be in this exact same situation next offseason,

60
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: with Pittman going into free agency again. The non exclusive

61
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: tag allows Pittman to negotiate with other teams and potentially

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: sign what's called an offer sheet with another team. If

63
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: that's done, the Colts can match in every detail in

64
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: the offer and keep Pittman or allow him to sign elsewhere.

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: What did the Golts get and then receive two first

66
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: round draft picks as compensations.

67
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: So that's the parameter.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: That's it. Say Michael Pittman Junior. According to Chris Ballard

69
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: last week the NFL combat, he ain't going nowhere, right,

70
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it's in and you know,

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: we're looking at both sides of what happened, and obviously

72
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: a huge payday for Michael Pittman Junior. There there's no

73
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: risk at this point, Matt. I mean, we got to

74
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: pencil him in on the outside one way or another

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: franchise tag or extension.

76
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: Correct, I mean, And that's that's why, you know, if

77
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: a contract extension wasn't going to be finalized by the

78
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: tag deadline of this week, I think it was Tuesday

79
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: at four o'clock, it was important to to place the

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: franchise tag, the non exclusive franchise tag on Michael Pittman Junior,

81
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: so that he doesn't hit the open market. You know,

82
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: like we said, Pittman probably doesn't love getting the franchise tag.

83
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: I don't think any player would, but from a Colt standpoint,

84
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: it prevents him from hitting the open market, becoming a

85
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: free agent. It ensures Pittman's gonna make twenty plus million

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: dollars next year, as you said, and the two sides

87
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: can continue to negotiate the parameters of a contract extension

88
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: until mid July. But considering again what Pittman has produced,

89
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: what he means to this team, what he means to

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: the offense, the type of guy that he is, the

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: type of buy in that you have from him all

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: around right in the running game, it was important to

93
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: keep one of your most important offensive weapons on this

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: team for next season and hopefully beyond.

95
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: As they continue to talk.

96
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, Mayte and I caught up with Shane

97
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Stiken right here in the radio studio, talking about Michael

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: Pittman Junior's importance to the Colt, Anthony Richardson's ongoing rehab,

99
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 2: and his involvement in the draft process. Coming up, Shane Steiken,

100
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: you're an offensive guy. You're a gun slinger from UNLV.

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: You know your offensive Some people have called you a

102
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 2: young Tom Moore. I'm just telling you what they say, coach.

103
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: So you go into a combine situation. You got all

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: these bells and whistles and shiny bright things that score

105
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: touchdowns everywhere. How tough. Is it for you in a

106
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: draft being an offensive mind and the comfortability you have

107
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: to work with general manager Chris ballor because as an

108
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: offensive guy, you go give me him, give me him,

109
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: give me him, and I'll put up fifty a game.

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, that's a good question. I have a great

111
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 6: working relationship with Chris. And you know, being here with

112
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: Chris for a year now and seeing how he sees players,

113
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 6: it's interesting because we kind of see things similar, which

114
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 6: is great, but we also have our ideas on certain things.

115
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 6: But I love working with Chris. I love everything about it.

116
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: I love the organization and going through the draft process.

117
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 6: People always ask like, hey man, you're watching all these

118
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 6: college football games. I'm getting ready for our game on Sunday,

119
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 6: but I'm going to watch some college football and watch

120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 6: these prospects when the season ends. So that part's been awesome.

121
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: We're going through that process right now, and obviously, you know,

122
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 6: getting eyes on them at the combine, it's huge, just

123
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 6: kind of when you first start seeing them. Credit to

124
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 6: these scouts. I think about what these scouts do in

125
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 6: our organization. You know, three hundred and sixty four days

126
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 6: a year, they're grinding, looking at these players, you know,

127
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 6: that can't go unnoticed. What they do and the work

128
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: they put in is unbelievable. So it's a great group

129
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 6: to be around.

130
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: Shane, speaking of Chris, he said at the combine that

131
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: Michael Pittman Junior, he's going to be on this team

132
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: next year in some form some fashion. You guys are

133
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: going to get it done and find a way. That

134
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: started this week with the Colts placing the non exclus

135
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: a franchise tag on Pittman. What does he mean to

136
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: this team? How important is Michael Pittman Junior to this

137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 4: group both on and off the field.

138
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 6: I think just the consistency, Like you're getting the same guy.

139
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 6: You're getting the same guy in the meeting rooms, you're

140
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 6: getting the same guy on the practice field, and you're

141
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 6: getting the same guy on Sundays. And this guy shows

142
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: up and he makes place for us, and he's been

143
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 6: doing it, you know, long before I got here, and

144
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 6: he did it again last year for us. So the consistency,

145
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 6: the toughness that he plays with is unmatched.

146
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: Head coach change stiking right here on the last word, coach,

147
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: we saw the importance of the backup running back. Last year.

148
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: We saw the importance of the backup quarterback offensive guy

149
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: once again, the importance of having a quality guy behind

150
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor and a quality backup behind Anthony Richardson. Not

151
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: taking away anything from Zach or Gardner, but how much

152
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: you know, input do you have on that position on

153
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: the roster.

154
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think that's a big spot because you

155
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 6: know what I mean, sometimes things happen in this league

156
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 6: as we saw. I mean, there were so many guys

157
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 6: that played in that backup role last year, especially at

158
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: the quarterback spot. So you got to make sure you

159
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 6: have a guy that you feel confident if he has

160
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 6: to go in and step in and play and shoot.

161
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 6: That's what Gardner did for us last year. And same

162
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 6: thing with Zach Moss stepping into that role. Obviously he

163
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 6: was coming off the arm and training camp and then

164
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 6: he comes in against you know, Houston, and I don't

165
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: think he might miss one snap, and he got all

166
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 6: those carries and he took off and he was shooting.

167
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 6: He was leading the league and rushing you know whatever.

168
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 6: It was through Week six, but he was a huge,

169
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 6: huge deal for us last year.

170
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: Coach, what kind of communication are you having with Anthony

171
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 4: Richardson during his rehab and how positive is that going.

172
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 6: It's going great obviously in communication with him, talking to

173
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 6: him on the phone. You know, you guys seen on

174
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 6: social media him throwing the football round. He's in great spirits.

175
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 6: He's looking good. I'm not gonna put a timetable on

176
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 6: his return, but you know he's looking good, he's excited,

177
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 6: he's looking forward to the future.

178
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: When he does come back in the spring. What do

179
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: you want to see from him. I know you're not

180
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: going to put a timeline on he's got to be

181
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: throwing by this time or doing this by this time,

182
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: but what are the next steps you want to see

183
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: out of as growth?

184
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously going into year two, you know he

185
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 6: didn't get a full year under his belt. You know,

186
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 6: he played whatever it was, four games, and but he

187
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 6: did some really good things for us. So we really

188
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 6: want to improve on the things that he did well

189
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: and then obviously take the next step in his in

190
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 6: his growth next year.

191
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: The accolades all across the league, coach about your first year,

192
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: what you did great offensively getting this team in the

193
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: position they did without Anthony? How do you get better?

194
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: What are the things that you write down to get better?

195
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: As a head coach in year two, you.

196
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: Know, I go through that process. I'm going through that

197
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 6: right now. I'm going back and looking at, you know,

198
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: things we did, whether it's administrative things that we can

199
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 6: get better at, that I can get better at, football wise,

200
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 6: schematically that we can get better at, and how do

201
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 6: we see that growth? And I think that's through tape study,

202
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 6: that's through going back, looking at team meetings, different things

203
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 6: that you can do and just continue to you know,

204
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 6: motivate and just be a leader of the football team.

205
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: Coach has the This might be a silly question, has

206
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: the dust settled on the twenty twenty three season for you?

207
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: How much do you still think about you know, week eighteen.

208
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie, do think about it, you know

209
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 6: what I mean. I mean, we're that close. But it does.

210
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 6: It drives. It drives me, and I know it drives

211
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: these players in this organization because I set it at

212
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 6: the end of the year. I think we're right there.

213
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 6: I really do. And I think we in order to

214
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 6: get even over the hump there next year, we got

215
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 6: to work even harder. And I think that, you know,

216
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 6: within time, right, sometimes things take a little bit of time.

217
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 6: We don't want to take too long, but we want

218
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 6: to take that next step next year, for sure.

219
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: Coach, we'll throw to We'll throw to score, run to win.

220
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: Be your mantra for as long as you're a NFL

221
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: head coach.

222
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 6: As of right now. Yes, well, I don't know. I

223
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 6: just believe in that. I think you throw to score points,

224
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 6: you know, And I think if you look at some

225
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 6: of the games last year, some of those games played

226
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 6: out that way. Does it always play out that way?

227
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 5: No?

228
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 6: I mean you're kinda kind of do what you feel

229
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 6: is best in that situation. You always have a thought

230
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 6: of what you want it to look like come Sunday,

231
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 6: But sometimes that plan might change in the middle of

232
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 6: the second quarter, going ooh shoot, we're not throwing it

233
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 6: very good, but we are running it. Let's keep running it.

234
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 6: So that's just kind of how the game goes. You know.

235
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 6: We've been into games like, oh, shoot, man, this's a

236
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 6: really really good defense and this is a really good

237
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 6: this is probably gonna be a low scoring game, and

238
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 6: the next thing you know, it's thirty five thirty eight,

239
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 6: we're like, what the heck just happened? Like, So you

240
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 6: never know how the game's gonna play out and you

241
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: just got to roll with those punches and adjust during

242
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 6: game day.

243
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: Last one for me, coach, We've talked about this before,

244
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: but how involved will you be in the draft room

245
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: and those decisions? For those that don't know, what is

246
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: your life like when it comes to the draft process

247
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: between now and the end of April.

248
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just go through. You know, Chris and his

249
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 6: staff do a heck of a job evaluating those guys.

250
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 6: I get the list from them, I go through, I

251
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 6: watch all the guys, we have discussions about them, and ultimately,

252
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 6: obviously Chris is general manager that make the final decision.

253
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 6: But love everything about Chris, and like I said, we're

254
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 6: on the same page. So feel really good about it.

286
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: the best positional values in the draft, and what he

287
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: thinks might be the best play for the Colts with

288
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: the fifteenth pick in the first round for Matt Taylor.

289

Speaker 1: This is your weekly fix on Colts football, The Last

292
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Word with Jeffrey Gorman and Matt Taylor from the Indiana

293
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: Union Construction Industry Radio Studio.

294
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Last Word. We brought to you by

295
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: our friends at FANDEL Make every moment more. We just

296
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: heard from Shane steike In, the head coach, obviously excited

297
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: with what's coming up in free agency and the draft,

298
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: but earlier at the Combine Mayte and I we talked

299
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: with Emery Hunt last week. We chatted about Anthony richardson

300
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: ceiling going into year two, and some players to keep

301
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: an eye on for the Colts in the first round.

302
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: But we let off with the position that he thinks

303
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: is the deepest going into this year's NFL Draft.

304
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 7: I would say wide receiver, and I think that's the

305
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 7: deepest group. And I'm not surprised because as we know,

306
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 7: how the college game has gone to where you're seeing

307
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 7: more four and five wide receiver sets, which means you're

308
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 7: also going to see probably more you know, nickel and

309
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 7: dime defenses. So receiver and defensive back are going to

310
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 7: always be the deepest. But right now I would say

311
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 7: wide receiver because how elite the top is. When I

312
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 7: say top, I'm talking about ten to twelve guys, and

313
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 7: then that pushes great depth down all the way throughout

314
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 7: the different positions because I grade them split flanker, I'm

315
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 7: old the receiver, slot, and big inside receiver. So I

316
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 7: grade four different receiver positions. So from what I've seen,

317
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 7: it's a pretty good class.

318
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: Hey, Emery the quarterback, we were talking, you know, off

319
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 2: air right before he got on about like Anthony's year

320
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: as a rookie year. But the quarterbacks from last year's

321
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: draft to this year's draft. Do you see that? Sarah?

322
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: The same thing? Because there's four guys names that are

323
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: being thrown around in the top ten, top fifteen picks

324
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: this year that potentially four could go off the board early.

325
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 5: Do you see it?

326
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, here's a last year. Anthony Rigson was my

327
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 7: QB one, he was number one. I had Brights Young

328
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 7: number two and C. C. Straud number three, but I

329
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 7: had all three with the same grades, so I thought

330
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 7: you couldn't go wrong with anyone, but I preferred Anthony

331
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 7: Richardson this year. My top five Caleb Williams, who has

332
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 7: a ninety grade. Second is Jaydon Daniels. Third is Spencer Rattler.

333
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 7: I've been on the Spencer Ratler train. I feel like

334
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 7: this guy has had a full pro career already in

335
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 7: college because he started out great, then had to downward

336
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 7: spiraled Oklahoma, start off inconsistent in South Carolina.

337
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: The last his games of last year.

338
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 7: He did great, and then he carried it over this

339
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 7: year despite the offensive lion Is shoes. So he's my

340
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 7: number three. Number four is going to be a bit

341
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 7: of a surprise. Had he not gotten injured, he would

342
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 7: have played in all these All Star Games. Jordan Travis.

343
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 7: What I love about Jordan Travis is the ball just moves.

344
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 7: Like I call him the Malcolm Mexic quarterbacks by any

345
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 7: means necessary. The ball is going down the field. He's

346
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 7: moving the sticks right, so the offense moves and he

347
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 7: gets even better inside the red zone where it counts,

348
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 7: kind of like Josh Allen inside the red zone where

349
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 7: he could lock in and don't turn the ball over?

350
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 7: And number five is Drake May. I like Drake May,

351
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 7: but I feel like what Drake made. It's when you're

352
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 7: watching the games kind of sitting back wondering, Okay, yeah,

353
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 7: he's good, but what's the it? Like, what's the reason

354
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 7: why everybody's drawing the what's the trait? Like, let's say

355
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 7: what Richardson, it was the athleticism or deep ball with Stroud,

356
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 7: it was his ability to lock in in crucial situations.

357
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 7: With Bright Shange, it was his ability to create all script.

358
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 7: What's the it with Drake Made? And I feel like

359
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 7: that's not there yet, which is why he's my five.

360
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 7: I feel he's a late first, early second round type talent. Okay,

361
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 7: but it still has upside because he came out early,

362
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 7: and that's what you want in someone to say, Okay,

363
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 7: we can still groom him and develop him to be

364
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 7: that guy.

365
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: Emory Hunt is our guest from CBS. You mentioned that

366
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson he was your top guy last year, and

367
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: we were talking right before we hit the record button

368
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: that you feel that if he were to have stayed

369
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: healthy last year, the Colts may have won the division.

370
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: That's how strongly you feel.

371
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: That's how convicted you are in terms of his growth,

372
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: his potential early on as a rookie.

373
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 5: With that said, how much how much of the book

374
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: is still.

375
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: Out on Anthony Richardson because he did only play one

376
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy three snaps? I mean, how how much

377
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: of an incomplete does he get in your book from what.

378
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 5: You saw as a rookie.

379
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 7: I'm smiling because there's different levels to this, right, It's

380
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 7: like the role he Ledger did in Batman. Right, he

381
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: never got to see the movie when Michael Vick was paired,

382
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 7: supposed to be paired with Bobby Patrino. He never got

383
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 7: to work with Vic. But then we saw what it

384
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 7: looked like when he worked with Lamark. Watching that Rams game,

385
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 7: I was like, sight half, Yeah, wait until they get

386
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 7: Jonathan Taylor to pair with this dude. Game over, They're

387
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 7: gonna average thirty five points a game. He's gonna probably

388
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 7: have two thousand yards rushing Jonathan Taylor because that the

389
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 7: box will be like you got to keep the backside

390
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 7: the fender, and we never got to see it. So

391
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 7: toward the back end, Alex Pierce finally started to catch

392
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 7: football and not have tender forms where you just tapping

393
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 7: the ball comes out. So now you have him and Pittman,

394
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 7: and you have the tight ends where I was like, man,

395
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 7: we never got to see the picture, and so I'm

396
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 7: excited for this year, health permitting we see this, We

397
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 7: see the full fledge because I was rewind and the

398
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: clip came out earlier in the week that I responded

399
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 7: to with the video clip of my evidence.

400
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 5: This is in twenty eighteen.

401
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 7: I was trying to tell everybody if I was the

402
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 7: Browns with picks one and four, I'm taking Sa Kwan

403
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 7: one because I knew the Giants were wanted him. I'm

404
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 7: taking Lamar a four. I'm believe the league and rushing

405
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 7: for the next decade. So I look at what potentially

406
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 7: could be with Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor, with the

407
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 7: run game, the play action pass game, the weapons they

408
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 7: have at tight end, the offensive line improving, and the

409
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 7: potential to ad receiver like this team. Everyone's talking about

410
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 7: the Texans right now, but this is a team that

411
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 7: could win the division legitimate.

412
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: And those two guys Richardson and Taylor played a combined

413
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 4: two snaps together.

414
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 5: Last year. We never have to see the movie, and.

415
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: It's excruciating because of the way Week eighteen win losing

416
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: to the Texans, all of these things on the sidelines

417
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 4: that you're you know, all these toys you're not able

418
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: to play with.

419
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 7: So yeah, and the thing is when you watch how

420
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 7: the coach did such a great job drafting last year

421
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 7: and acquiring talent in the undrafted free agent market, I

422
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 7: include that with the draft grade. So I gave them

423
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 7: an eight plus because I thought from top bottom that

424
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 7: they did really well. Got the long corners, they got

425
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 7: depth along the defensive line. They were able to add

426
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 7: some pieces to accentuate Anthony Richardson. Josh Downs is a

427
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 7: guy that I think is going to be outstanding coming

428
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 7: off flash and he started to come along.

429
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 5: Toward the back end of the storit.

430
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: Did you have him last year?

431
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 5: Down?

432
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 7: He was one of my top slot I can't remember

433
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 7: all pain, but I know he had a really good

434
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 7: greed as a slot guy, a plug and play guy,

435
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 7: because he creates so much space without the ball. When

436
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 7: you watched him at North Carolina, you see he's opened

437
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 7: a lot, you know, but only so many times you

438
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 7: can get the football. But he's opened all the time.

439
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 7: And now you factor in how wide that is, Like

440
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 7: you're playing in the CFL when you have the quarterback

441
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 7: that creates space with wise, the receiver that can operate

442
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 7: in a parking lot with space like downs, and you

443
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 7: have the back that you have to it's the coats

444
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 7: are a matchup nightmare.

445
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: To I love it. Emory Hunt right there, NFL insider

446
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: from CBS. I could do this stuff all day because

447
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: I loved talking about last year and stuff. But like

448
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: we saw a guy like nicoua last year fifth rounder,

449
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: go crazy. I mean put it out that year systember

450
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: was it the in your opinion? And like, where do

451
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: you have a guy like that that had a dominating

452
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: year as a fifth rounder? Are those guys available this

453
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: draft as well?

454
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 5: Absolutely?

455
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 7: And I always tell people because I see this a

456
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 7: lot on social media, the draft is bigger than one round.

457
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 7: There's only thirty two picks in the first round, and

458
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 7: now if you watch social media, there's like fifteen top

459
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 7: ten locks, right.

460
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 5: So not everybody can't go top ten. They're back, you know,

461
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 5: the first round.

462
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 7: So the draft is bigger than that, right, And with

463
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 7: Nakula's case, I will say this, I think his drop

464
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 7: happened because of what happened at the Senior Bowl. The

465
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 7: first practice at the Senior Bowl, he had a great

466
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 7: catch on the sideline in one on ones, hit his

467
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 7: head on the on the field when he fell at

468
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 7: a concussion was out.

469
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 5: The whole week.

470
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 7: People probably were worried about concussions and so that's why

471
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 7: he dropped. But the talent was evident on film. There's

472
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 7: a ton of guys like that in the draft here

473
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 7: for the Coats to acquire. In this draft, to me,

474
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 7: you're always going to find guys like those. I call

475
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 7: them those big insight receivers. They did technically not explosive

476
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 7: enough to be an ex but you kind of like

477
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 7: them like that four by four alignment to where they

478
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 7: can work inside, but they can also block well, but

479
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 7: they also get open the good rout runners, they're good

480
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 7: after the catch. It's a bunch of those guys in

481
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 7: his class that fit the mole. You may not get

482
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 7: a you may get a bigger slot guy that's like

483
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 7: six point two eighteen you, but you also have guys

484
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: throughout the draft that can fit that role. So there's

485
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 7: a bunch of guys that one name that comes to mind,

486
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 7: jailing Cocher out of holy Cross. I was at the

487
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 7: College Gridiron Showcase. I cover a lot of FCS bot

488
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 7: I'll call a lot of the FCS games, So I've

489
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 7: seen holy Cross a lot.

490
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 5: And Cocher went.

491
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 7: Out to the Hula Bowl dominated, physically, dominated, and then

492
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 7: got the call up to Trian Bowl and just continue

493
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 7: to do that against power five composition of a consistent base.

494
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 7: So he is someone he may not run a blazing forty,

495
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 7: but who cares. He gets open, he's physical, he's great

496
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 7: after the catch. He could play inside as a slot.

497
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 7: He blocks well and he's good at the catchpoint.

498
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: That's Emory Hunt, NFL Draft Insiders, CBS. He's also the

499
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: owner of Football Game Plan. Got the polo right there.

500
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: You got the little tell us about that football football

501
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: game Plan. Yeah, what's the slogan.

502
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 7: Where football makes sense? See, because I don't like to

503
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 7: brag on myself. I just tell the truth, right right.

504
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 7: So where we had like these players ring right, no

505
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 7: one was and Eclipse are there. So July of twenty

506
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 7: twenty two, I came out. I was on Serious XM

507
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 7: radio and I said, Anthony Richardon is the best quarterback

508
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 7: in the country. He had played nine games, so naturally

509
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 7: everybody hit the Twitter. It was like this dude is crazy,

510
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 7: Like what is he talking about? He barely started, and

511
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 7: then after the first game, everybody's like, oh, he should

512
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 7: be the highest number one. I'm sitting back like Jo

513
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 7: was dumb, and so I'm saying that because Football game

514
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 7: Plan we tend to think independently and whether I'd rather

515
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 7: be wrong by myself than wrong in the group. And

516
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 7: our draft guide is the largest out there, over one

517
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 7: thousand individuals scouting reports. You can pre order the twenty

520
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,400

521
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 7: on CBS and they were asking me who is the

522
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 7: who's one of your sleepers for running backs?

523
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 5: Right? I was like, well, we don't have to travel

524
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 5: for me.

525
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 7: Here right down the streets of Toreana Clinton at University

526
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 7: of Indianapolis, the greenhouse.

527
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 5: No one knew what the hell he was. He ends

528
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 5: up on the coats. Yeah, practice, preseason, preseason. So it

529
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 5: was like, that's how deep we go.

530
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: You want to get smarter, go to football gameplan dot com.

531
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: We're talking to Emory On from CBS. Uh. You know

532
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: this draft, Matt was talking about these guys not throwing

533
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: and and such like that. Uh, and where they drop

534
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: or where they go up and we're seeing quarterbacks and

535
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: these small town, small school quarterbacks. I'm just gonna put

536
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: you on this bot because we're going to talk to

537
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: you next year. Give me a fifth, give me a sixth,

538
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 2: give me a seventh rounder that's going to make an

539
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 2: impact for a football team this year outside of special teams.

540
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: It's funny because there's there's a couple of you said quarterbacks, right.

541
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: No, no, no, sir, just in fifth, sixth, and seventh

542
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: rounders that will make a difference. I don't want I

543
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: have specials. Are specials? I okay, But somebody's making a

544
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: difference on the field.

545
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 7: John Giles, the wide receiver from West.

546
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: Florida, write that down right now, Casey Valier.

547
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 7: Two four and this is someone. And this is why

548
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 7: I love going to all the different All Star games

549
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 7: because you get to see at every level guys that

550
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 7: make moves and you get to kind of watch with

551
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 7: teams gravitate toward certain players after practice. That's always the

552
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: non verbal cues of I remember last year. There was

553
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 7: a particular team that ended up bringing this guy into

554
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 7: camp that at the College Gown Showcase. Every rep he had,

555
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 7: they put their notebooks down, like we got watch this assistant,

556
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 7: so like they kind of was sitting behind us like,

557
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 7: oh they tipping. They love this dude, and he ended

558
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 7: up in their camp. But John Giles was at the

559
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 7: College Grown Showcase received by of West Florida the Argonauts

560
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 7: Division two power did a great thing down there. It

561
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 7: felt like he was dominating and he was on cruise

562
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: control like releases where we need to be speed to

563
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 7: separate hands catching away from his body. Got the call

564
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 7: up to the Hula Bows short notice because somebody got hurt.

565
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: He got called up, came.

566
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 7: In there on a short week dominated and had a

567
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 7: really good game as well. And he is someone Then

568
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 7: you go back and watch his games against Florida A

569
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 7: and M. Who has two guys in the secondary is

570
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 7: gonna be twenty twenty five draft picks. So it's a

571
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 7: good okay D two versus FCS, A good FCS team.

572
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 7: He was open a lot ne game. Quarterback just couldn't

573
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 7: throw him the ball. So John Giles has the size,

574
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 7: that athleticism, the hands, everything that you want. I think

575
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 7: he's gonna end up in the campus apriblely awesome.

576
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna write that down and yeah, you know how

577
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: to call it, you know how to pick memory. So

578
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: we're on this way. Not only that, if I get

579
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: a minute with Ballard, I'm gonna say, hey, check out Giles,

580
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: check out the Giles.

581
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what we need to do.

582
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: Jnfrick Arman in the war room right there, last one

583
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 4: for me, Emory. You know, speaking of Chris Ballard there

584
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: at the end of the season, at his end of

585
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 4: the year press conference, he really made no bones about it.

586
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: The Colts need to be more explosive on offense, right,

587
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: more chunk plays, help supplement Anthony Richardson, help compliment the

588
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: running game with Richardson and with Jonathan Taylor. With that

589
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 4: in mind, who are some of the guys that might

590
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 4: be there for the Colts a pick number fifteen if

591
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 4: they choose to go that route, A guy that catches

592
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: the ball. That would obviously add a lot more pop

593
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: within their offense.

594
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 7: Now listen, I'm despite my appearance, I may be the

595
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 7: illegitimate child of Al Davis, right because I am always

596
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 7: going to gamble on speed. So Troy Franklin can legit fly.

597
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 7: He's a lean built guy, right, He's built like an

598
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 7: ox Cord, I get it. But he can definitely fly.

599
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 7: And I think he has the ability to add weight

600
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 7: to his frame and not lose athleticism. And when you're

601
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 7: watching his route running, he doesn't run like a fast guy.

602
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: Owned he runs routes like he's a nuanced receiver. And

603
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 7: so I think we combine him with what you have

604
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 7: in Josh downs and what you have in all the

605
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 7: backs of speed. You want to create a situation where

606
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 7: it's impossible to cover in Franklin. To me, especially with

607
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 7: I expect to run on receivers to happen early in

608
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 7: his draft class at fifteen, I will be hard pressed

609
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 7: to not take all.

610
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Right, you heard it right there. Get smarter at football, folks.

00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 8: because that's what a lot of people because that wasn't

00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 8: all turn our attention to March Madness and brackets and everything.

722
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 8: We've got conference tournaments going on now. Next week we'll

723
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 8: have the Power five conference tournaments. But did you know

724
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 8: that March Madness was actually coined in Illinois to start

725
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 8: high school state championship basketball?

726
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: Wow?

727
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: No, I did not know.

728
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 5: Yes.

729
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 8: In nineteen thirty nine, Henry Potter he led his Athens

730
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 8: High School to a second place finish in the Illinois

731
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 8: state championship, and then he wrote an article in the

732
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 8: Illinois High School Athlete magazine and it said, a little

733
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 8: March madness may compliment and contribute to sanity and help

734
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 8: keep society on an even keel.

735
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 6: The irony in.

736
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 8: That is that was the first year of the NCAA

737
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 8: tournament in nineteen thirty nine. Now, Brent Musburger has been

738
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 8: coined as the guy to label the college basketball March

739
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 8: madness when they elevated the total teams to sixty four

740
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: back in the eighties. So that was when you know

741
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 8: the term march madness when it comes to college.

742
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: Basketball, we owe it to Musburger.

743
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 8: But you know, it started as a high school basketball

744
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 8: I know right now in Indiana, high school championships are

745
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 8: starting to roll around against your hysteria. So who's your

746
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 8: hysteria in full form? But yeah, march manus was originally coined.

747
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 5: In high school.

748
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: What was the name, what was the author?

749
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 8: Henry Potter? Henry He was a teacher, a coach, and

750
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 8: then he became an administrator and wrote an article and

751
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 8: talked about how March madness essentially was all about high

752
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 8: school sports.

753
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: And oh, all right, there you go.

Speaker 3: The more the more you know, the more you know.

755
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,280
