1 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Official Jets Podcast powered 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: by Amazon Web Services, the Opponent Preview series. Rolling on. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Here e A myself breaking down the jets Week three opponent, 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coltson we'll hear from Andrew Walker, who works 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: for Colts dot Com. He's one of their writers, and 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: we'll talk all things Colts with him and e A. 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: The Colts last year went seven and nine. They bringing 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, and I think you and I are in 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: agreement here where this team is a very good team, 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: even though they didn't make the playoffs last year. That's 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: a very good team that's added two really monstrous pieces. 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: Their questions of the quarterback position, what were they gonna 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: do after Jacobe Brissette took over for Andrew Luck and 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the Colts countered in this offseason, and they get Philip Rivers, 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: who potentially as a Hall of famer. A lot people 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: think he's a shoeing Hall of Famer guys passed for 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: nearly sixty yards in his career, six passed or he's 18 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: towards the end of his career. But they have a 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: lot of pieces in the offensive side of the football, 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: and he's familiar with this system, having experience under Frank 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: right before, so that makes a lot of sense. On 22 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: another side of the ball, they needed an interior defense 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: alignman who could really get after opposing offenses and make 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: it a long day for people in their respective backfields, 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: and DeForest Buckner enters. And that surprised a lot of 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: people in the National Football League because there are people 27 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: thought that Buckner was the best player on a thirteen 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: and three San Francisco forty Niners team that held a 29 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: So you're in a piece and Buckner, who automatically makes 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: your defense a lot better, and you've upgraded at the 32 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: most important position in all sports, quarterback, as he got 33 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: from Brissette, who did some nice things, but I would 34 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: say he was rather inconsistent, and you had a guy 35 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: like Rivers. You know, I know that teams that play 36 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: inside a dome might get labeled a little soft, you know, 37 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: maybe historically, Well, I think that's the opposite with this 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Colts team. This is a team that likes to run 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: the ball and they're led by Quenton Nelson, who of 40 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: course is tied to the Jets because the Jets traded 41 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: up with the Colts and team from the six spot 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: to the three spot. The Colts end up taking Quenton 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Nelson with the sixth overall pick, and he's a phenomenal player, 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: and that offensive line might be one of, if not 45 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the best, in football. And they have kind of a 46 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: three headed monster in the backfield with Marlon Mack. He's 47 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: very I think, maybe an overlooked running back in this league. 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I know he had a very good year last year. 49 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: And then the Heem Hines was more of your past catcher. 50 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: And then they add Jonathan Taylor in the draft, who 51 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: surprised a lot of people at Lucas Oil Stadium with 52 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: his forty yard dash time despite being a big, physical guy. 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see how those three 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: split carries. But this is a team that likes to 55 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: get after it on the ground and the Jets had 56 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: the number two run defense in the NFL last year. 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: But make no mistake, this is gonna be a dogfight, 58 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: I think in Indianapolis. Yeah, it really is. And then 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, behind Buckner, you're 60 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's so crazy productive in Darius 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: leonard Um just plays with a NonStop motor and that 62 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: defense is physical as well. And you mentioned the balance 63 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: the Colts have offensively. For years we thought of Indianapolis 64 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: is that Benett team side the dome, that they're gonna 65 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: play around Peyton Manning and get the received vers and 66 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: throw the football and the offensive linemen are going to 67 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: be a little bit better in past protection. And nah, 68 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: that's not the case anymore. These guys do like to 69 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: get after you, and they have an option for balance 70 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, they can grind you. They can get after 71 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: you on the ground with those three guys and those 72 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: nasty dudes up front. But then the receivers in the outside. 73 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: They got t Y Hilton, they added Pittman in the draft. 74 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: Uh they got so they got Jack Doyle at tight end. 75 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: So they present a lot of matchup problems because they're 76 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: so balanced offensively. And then the trademarket at defense is fast, um, 77 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: but they're physical as well, and and Buckner was such 78 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: a critical piece I thought. And when I look at 79 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: the FC South, I say they're the clearer favorite. I 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: like Deshaun Watson a lot in Houston, and you have 81 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: to respect the Texans, but the bottom at bottom line 82 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: is and Tennessee had a great run to the SEC 83 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: championship game. But if you're me and you are sitting 84 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: there picking our division winners, and maybe we'll do that 85 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: down the line here in the official podcast, I'll go 86 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: with the Colts and Nancy South. All right, I love it. Okay, Well, 87 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: let's hear from Andrew Walker of Colts dot Com to 88 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: hear what he has to say about the Indianapolis Colts. 89 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: I want to start off with this. Obviously, the Colts 90 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: biggest free agent edition is Philip Rivers. What will he 91 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: bring to this Colts offense that maybe it was missing 92 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: last year? Yeah, I think it's just, you know, the 93 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: coltsoner this offseason. You know obviously seven and nine. Last year, 94 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: start off five and two, things were really rolling. You 95 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, you had your bye 96 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: week feeling good. But then you know, things just kind 97 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: of stumbled from there. It's kind of the opposite of teen, 98 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: where you know, you start off ruff and then you 99 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: win nine of ten and you make the playoffs. So 100 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I think Frank Riich and Chris Ballad kind of looked 101 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: back and evaluate totally kind of the offense and what 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: was going on the big play was missing, and you know, 103 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: the Colts are really gonna be really good at running 104 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: the ball. That's always going to be their bread and 105 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: butter um, you know, with with Quentin Nelson of course 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: up front and that offensive line, and it's just the 107 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: way Frank Wrych likes to go. But they needed a 108 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: little bit more oom, I guess in the in the 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: passing game and coobre Set can do it, but they 110 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: just need a little bit more consistency. And it was 111 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: a unique opportunity with Philip Rivers and that Yeah, you know, 112 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: thirty seven maybe last year didn't have his greatest year, 113 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: and of course the Chargers struggled as a team just 114 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: in general, um, but I think it's a unique opportunity 115 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: where you get a guy in Philip Rivers that played 116 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: under Frank Reich, under offensive courrier Nick Serranni with the 117 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Chargers in San Diego for at least three years with 118 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: Frank Reich a little bit more, Sirianni. Frank Reich was 119 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator for a couple of years. So you 120 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: get that unique opportunity to bringing a guy that you're 121 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: very familiar with, who knows your offense, who just needs 122 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: to pick up a few more kind of things that 123 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: you've learned along the way since that time you bring 124 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: him in. He's a guy that will, uh, you know, 125 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: be a big leader for you. You You don't have to 126 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: worry about any of that, and you hope you can 127 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: just get ready and roll with him. And especially with 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: the way this offense has gone this this off season 129 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: has gone, as we all know, just the COVID nineteen pandemic. 130 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Rivers is a guy now that can just go in 131 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: and play. You're not worried about it. If if he 132 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: was a guy that you had no familiarity with, so 133 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: um so, I think the cold Sea that as a 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: plus two? What do you think Philip Rivers have has 135 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: left career? Passer has thrown for nearly sixty thousand yards 136 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: in his career. The number that jumped out at me 137 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: last year was the twenty interceptions. Do you think you 138 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: talked about the system fit, But where do you think 139 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: he's at physically and how can the pieces around him 140 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: maybe make him a better throw a better player in 141 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: two thousand he wasn't two thousand nineteen, right. I went 142 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: back and I looked at I think Philip Rivers has 143 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: three previous you know County last year, twenty interception seasons. 144 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: Now again I'm throwing the age caveat out there. Now 145 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: he's thirty seven and thirty eight. Get on thirty eight 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: and all that. I understand that. But the other two 147 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: times he had thrown twenty picks he responded with huge 148 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: years the years after that. So he has a little 149 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: bit of that chip on his shoulder type mentality that 150 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: that he can draw from. But I think just you know, 151 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: if you're talking intangible things that you can look at 152 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: and say, you know, Philip Rivers can have a bounce 153 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: back here because of this. I think it's the Colts 154 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, I think it's you know, I 155 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: hate to sound biased obviously, look at what I'm wearing, 156 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: but I think it's one of the thing. It's one 157 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: of the top, you know units in the NFL just 158 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: in general. If we're talking run blocking, pass protecting, I 159 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: think this Colts offensive line does it all. And I 160 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: think that's a big reason Philip Rivers wanted to sign 161 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: an Nity Besides just the familiarity with Frank Wright. Um, 162 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: the Chargers had some issues with their offensive line last year. 163 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: They they had injuries. Um, it's an inconsistent play. So 164 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: I think that was, you know, a reason. You know, 165 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers isn't gonna be moving around a lot. We 166 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: we know that he's he's gonna stay in the pocket. 167 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: So I think the Colts warned a guy who could 168 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: come in, run their offense and just get rid of 169 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: the ball, take a few calculate chances down the field, 170 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: and then be able to hand the ball off to 171 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: now Marlon Mack Jonathan Taylor now in the mix um 172 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: name hinds at running back, great option out of the 173 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: backfield in the passing game. So all those reasons put together, 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: and I don't even mentioned t Y Hilton, Jack Doyle, um, 175 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: those guys Trey Burton knew at tight end um, you know. 176 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: And then of course all the other weapons you've had 177 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: it at wide receiver. You know that those are kind 178 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: of the reasons why you know, there's a reason to 179 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: believe that Philip Rivers can have a bounce back here. Now, 180 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: Frank Reich said, I watched all this tape from last year. 181 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything physically wrong with him. I think 182 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: he's still can get the job done and make all 183 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: the throws. So I trust Frank Riik when it comes 184 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: to that, you know, former NFL quarterback and a longtime 185 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: coach now, um, so you know, I think Philip Rivers 186 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: has all the tools he needs now, um to have 187 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: a nice bounce back year. Um, and we'll see how 188 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: it plays out. Andrew, what do you make of the 189 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: Cults receivers you mentioned to you I Hilton, and of 190 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: course they drafted Michael Pittman, But what's your evaluation of 191 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: the entire group, more so excluding t Y Yeah, so 192 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, just starting out, you know, with tu I 193 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: of course bouncing back from injuries for the first time 194 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: ruling his career, he's been he's been healthy. Um, he's 195 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: taking care of himself. And and then last year just 196 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: kind of had a couple of freak things pop up 197 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: on him and he you know, obviously played in the 198 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: fewest games ten of his career. So we'll exclude him 199 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: for now, just because if he's healthy, we all know 200 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: what t Y Hilton can do. If you're looking at 201 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: at these wide receivers. Michael Pittman, Junior out of USC 202 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: the second round pick at thirty fourth overall, I mean, 203 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: this guy seems to be just a solid, solid guy 204 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: that can come in and contribute right away. Um, he's 205 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: a guy you can mind up on the outside. Um, 206 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: he's a guy that that's kind of like a quarterback's 207 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: best friend. He has great hands, he runs great routes. Um, 208 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: he can make a big play for you if you 209 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: need it. And he's got kind of deceptive speed for 210 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: his size. So he's a guy that colts are really 211 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: excited about. You know, obviously, this wide receiver class was loaded, 212 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: and you knew whoever you got early in that second 213 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: round was probably gonna be a stud. But but Pittman 214 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: was a guy they had their eyes on for months. 215 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: Frank Reich said he thought he might have been the 216 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: best receiver in the draft a couple of months ago. So, um, 217 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: so he got that. But on top of that, you 218 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: have Paris Campbell returning. We we had a chance to 219 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: talk to him earlier in the week out of Ohio State. 220 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Last year's second round pick. He had just maybe the 221 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: worst luck with injuries I've ever seen last year as 222 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: a rookie. He had a sport he had a handstring 223 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: injury during training camp, only played one preseason game Week 224 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: four or five, had a sports herne. I had to 225 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: have surgery, came back a few weeks later, broke his hand, 226 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: had surgery, came back a few weeks later, and broke 227 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: his foot, tried to play through that and then had 228 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: to have surgery and go and I are so really 229 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: none of those are his fault, just just having to 230 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: be bad luck. He's a guy with speed in the 231 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: slot that can make a big difference. He just has 232 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: to be available. Let's flip to the defensive side of 233 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: the ball and talk about DeForest Buckner. How surprised were 234 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: you that he was available to the Colts and of 235 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: course they ran up to give their first round selection 236 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: number thirteen overall, UH to acquire him. And what is 237 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: he gonna mean to the defense? And also what is 238 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: he gonna mean as far as intangibles in the locker room? 239 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: The Forest Buckner just turned twenty six second team All 240 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: Pro last year, one of the best of his positions. 241 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: But what kind of strikes me is Chris Doward entered 242 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: the offseason he knew, on offense, you need to have 243 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: more big plays. Okay, you get Philip rivers Um, you know, 244 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: you get Michael Pittman, you help address that. But you 245 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: know it's on defense, he said, we have, you know, 246 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: this four three defense that the Colts run. You have 247 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: to have a dominic three tech and and a guy 248 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: up front that that just collapses pockets, that takes on 249 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: double teams in the run game and and makes plays. 250 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: And I, you know, I knew that that was a 251 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: big part of the defense, but I just kind of 252 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: looked at who was available, and I didn't know, like 253 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: who you could bring in. But the fact that Chris Ballard, 254 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: who who infamously said I like them picks when talking 255 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: about you know, when you trade picks to move up 256 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: and and all that. Um, I'm surprised at first you're 257 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna trade the number thirteen pick for a guy, But 258 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: then you look at who it's four. There's maybe only 259 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: two or three defensive tackles in football that you would 260 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: do that for, and de Forest Buttner's one of them. 261 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: You want more consistency as a group, and I think 262 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: the Forest Buckner alone brings that credibility and that consistency, 263 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: and that will help everyone else around him. Andrew. I 264 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: think when a lot of people, at least externally from 265 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: Indianapolis take about the Colts defense, my eyes at least 266 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: go to Darius Leonard in the middle of that defense. 267 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: And I'm just curi is what you make of this defense? 268 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: And if you're the Jets, let's say when they come 269 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: to Indianapolis in Week three, how do you go about 270 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: attacking that group? Yeah? Yeah, First with Darius, I mean, 271 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: just talk about Chip. I talked about chip on a 272 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: shoulder earlier with Philip Rivers. But man, this is a 273 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: guy that his whole life has been a chip on 274 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: his shoulder, you know under It wasn't recruited really coming 275 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: out of high school, tried to get almost gotten a Clemson, 276 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: but there's last minute paperwork stuff, goes to South Carolina 277 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: State stars there. Um doesn't get much recognition coming into 278 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: the draft, but the Colts see a perfect fit for 279 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: about that will linebacker spot. And and of course people 280 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, Bleacher Report dogs that you know, the worst 281 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: pick of the draft. He saves that screenshot, puts in 282 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: his phone, goes on to become NFL Defensive Rookie of 283 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: the Year and first team All Pro last year. Had 284 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: some injuries early, but then with second team All Pro. 285 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: So but he's a guy that's a difference maker in 286 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: the middle part of your field, that that just runs 287 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: around it and makes plays for you. But if you're 288 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: if if you're the Jets coming in against this defense, 289 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be early. We we we know that it's gonna 290 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: be what week three, So um so we know that 291 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: you know this defense. I think the one place people 292 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: are looking. I think the front seven for this Colts 293 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: defense is about as solid as it gets. You know, 294 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna have the forty Niners defensive 295 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: line or anything like that, but they have the pieces 296 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: in place to be one of the better front sevens 297 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's the back end that there's kind 298 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: of a few questions. It's not like they don't have 299 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: players there. They've got you know, they've got Kenny Moore, 300 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: who who's one of the better slot cornerbacks in the NFL. 301 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Got Molle Cooker, the first round pick at safety. Um 302 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: and and and of course Cary Willis last year as 303 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: a rookie played really well at safety. But in Rocky 304 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: sin in the second round pick last year. So you 305 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: have pieces there. You just gotta see him play a 306 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: little bit more consistently. Um. So, I won't be surprised 307 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: at all if Sam Donald comes in Week three. Um. 308 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: You know, and of course you have Levian Bell and 309 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: all that, but I want to be surprised if he's 310 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: kind of doing more a quick strike thing with the 311 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: guys on the outside to try to make the Colds 312 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: cornerbacks and safeties make plays. Um let a few things 313 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: developed down the field. The Colts are gonna make plays 314 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: against the run. You're not gonna be able to you know, 315 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: rarely do does a rusher did a hundred yards against 316 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: this defense. So you're not gonna really run the ball 317 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: with a ton of consistency. That's been proven the last 318 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: couple of years. But I will be interested to see 319 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: how opposing offenses want to come in and challenge the 320 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: secondaries great segment, So the Colds changing pieces in the secondary. 321 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: That includes the comings of Xavier Rhodes and t J. Kerry. 322 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: But let's talk about some former Colts cornerbacks who have 323 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: found a home New York Jets. What are the Green 324 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: and White getting in Pierre to zir and also Quincy Wilson, 325 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: a former second round pick uh and obviously Nate Harriston 326 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: is already in this defensive backfield. Well, let's just stick 327 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: with those two right now, because we could talk for 328 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: thirty minutes about Colt on the Jets roster. That's right, 329 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: So Dozier at Quincy Wilson, to Sere. I'll start with them. Solid, 330 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: just just solid all around. You're talking as a quarterback, 331 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: you're talking as a person. Um, go and look at 332 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: his story. If you're a Jets fan, or or if 333 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: you're covering the team, go and look at here to 334 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: see your story. Amazing a guy that a young age um, 335 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: you know, has a child as a teenager, comes in, 336 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: works his butt off, you know, low level college football. 337 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: I think his program got canceled. You have to find 338 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: another team. Somehow finds himself, you know, in the NFL, 339 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: and he's worked his way up from there. Last year 340 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: just kind of battled some inconsistency with some injuries and 341 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: kind of like what you see. You know, Chris Board's 342 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: has some time to build this thing, this roster with 343 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: the Colts. So you know, when that happens, you're gonna 344 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: have guys playing positions for you. When you're talking about 345 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: talking about to Sere, Quincy Wilson or guys like that, 346 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: you're talking guys that will play roles for you. But 347 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: over time, you're gonna start drafting guys you're gonna bring 348 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 1: it bring in free agents, so eventually those roles kind 349 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: of diminish in favor of those other guys. And it 350 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that that peered to Sear and Quincy Wilson 351 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: aren't good players. It just means that that you have 352 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: other guys ready to take on those roles or you 353 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: had other ideas with free agents. So so the Jets 354 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: are are gonna try to benefit from that like they 355 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: have with the ten or twe eleven other guys. They 356 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 1: have former Colts on on the roster. But but if 357 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: we're talking corner specific to Sears, a solid guy just 358 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: needs to kind of you know, kind of had some 359 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: injury inconsistency last year, but but a very solid guy. 360 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: Quincy Wilson, a guy that that's battled in consistent as 361 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: far as just with I don't want to say practice. 362 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: I I don't know exactly what happened there, but a 363 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: guy that that kind of would play a role, and 364 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: then he would kind of be on the bench, you're 365 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: inactive and you never really knew exactly what was going 366 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: on there. But he does have a ton of talent 367 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: in there, and I think if he can play a 368 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: consistent role on your defense, you might be able to 369 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: dig something out of there and find that second round 370 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: talent um. And then Nate Harston, a guy that that 371 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: his rookie year played really solid in the slot. It's 372 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: just Kenny Moore's just really really good, so he wasn't 373 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: really going to see a whole lot of time um 374 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: in this cold secondary, so so they sent him to 375 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: the Jets. So so that's kind of how how I 376 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: wrap up those three guys. Three guys that that are 377 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: solid players. Um, three guys you want your roster. It's 378 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: just other players had opportunities to play for the Colts 379 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: and now that you've had time to build it. When 380 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: you look at these two teams and maybe some matchup 381 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: standard one important for the Jets to at least, you know, 382 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: hold their own in if not winning. Then two for 383 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: the Jets to actually exploit. I think maybe the most 384 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: important matchup will be their defensive line against the Colts 385 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: offensive line. When you talk about what the Colts like 386 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: to do, and they like to set the tone up front, 387 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: and not to mention Philip Rivers and Andrew Walker talked 388 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: about this, he's not the most mobile guy. To say 389 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: the least, and then on the other side of that, 390 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: maybe when the Jets are on offense. If I'm Sam 391 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: Donald much to Andrew's point as well, I think you're 392 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze right now as we sit here recording this podcast. 393 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: You're looking to exploit the secondary because that's probably where 394 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have the most success. Yeah, cornerback questions. You know, 395 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: they have some moving pieces of the Colts do, and 396 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: can Sam Donald exploit them on the outside, because as 397 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: Andrews said, the Colts have been difficult to run on it, 398 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: and then on the other side of the ball when 399 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: Indianapolis has it, it's just can you make them? Can 400 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: you make them less balanced? Because they present matchup issues 401 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: because they're so balanced potentially with Rivers there, whereas it's 402 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: not just the ground game and it's not just the 403 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: receivers because they got the tight end and jacked oil. 404 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: They can come at you in so many different ways 405 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: with so many different personnel sets. How quickly is it 406 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna come together for Philip Rivers and company? But the 407 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: thing that is going they have going for them is 408 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: that he's played under right before. So even though that 409 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: they're not together this spring, he knows the system. Yeah, 410 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: I was about to say the same thing. Typically the 411 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: quarterback goes to a new team, there's gonna be a 412 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: learning curve in a typical season, let alone a season 413 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: where the off season program is pretty much entirely virtual, 414 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: hopefully up until training camp. But that's not the case 415 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: here because Philip Rivers is so familiar with this system, 416 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: and this is a team that pretty much has had 417 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: almost an entire carry over, similar to the San Francisco 418 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: forty Niners, who the Jets play the week before the Colts, 419 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: and honestly e a Maybe the one thing that could 420 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: help the Jets, especially defensively, is the fact that they 421 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: have Pierre Desire and Quincy Wilson, and even to an extent, 422 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: Nate Harriston, but mainly Desire and Wilson, two players that 423 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: lined up every day up against this offense and up 424 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: against the receivers excluding Michael Pittman that the Jets will 425 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: be seeing in Week three. Maybe that will play to 426 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: the Jets strength, especially early on in the season. All Right, 427 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: you gotta help with the numbers, was Andrew Walkers said. 428 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 1: Ten former Colts on the Jets, And that might be right. Uh, 429 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: you know, I started thinking about numbers when he spoke 430 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: about the crossover here. Now we first go to defensive 431 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: backfield Nate Harriston as you mentioned, and Pierre Desire and 432 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: obviously Quincy Wilson. Well to Ral Basham for sure, Um, 433 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: Henry Anderson, Ry Anderson, there's five Josh Andrews, I'm pretty 434 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: sure as a former Tree agent, most recently with the Colts. 435 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: That's correct. Six Thomas Tennessee, how about that? Seven? Who 436 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: else were missing? Here? Ross Travis who the jet side 437 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: late late in the season for the former Penn stater. Um. 438 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: Now now I'm going through the roster here, and you're 439 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: making me think, oh, Frank, you got up to nine. 440 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: You don't even you don't even think about Frank Gore 441 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: because he played with so many teams, and most recently 442 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: it was with the Buffalo Bills, and of late Arthur 443 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: milette Arthur Millett. That's ten from four in the secondary. Yeah, 444 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of that's a lot of horseshoes 445 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: or former horse shoes. Oh, I'm pretty sure Matthias Farley 446 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: is a former cult too, isn't he? I believe so? 447 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: And then uh Rex Holding of course, assistant g m 448 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: for New York Jets. Uh most recently was with Indianapolis 449 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: for a couple of years before he came back. So yes, 450 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: a lot of them familiar. Oh my god, we just 451 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: really like it was like the New York Colts. We're 452 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: up to twelve. But um, I I think Greens these 453 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: teams are gonna be forever length from that St. Patrick's 454 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: Day trade where the Jets got in position long before 455 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas came on board. But that's one of the 456 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: reasons I think he was probably attracted to the franchises 457 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: that he has a young quarterback that he feels awfully 458 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: high of in Sam Donald. And the Colts got a 459 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: lot of volume there, a lot of players, a lot 460 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: of quantity, and they got quality too. For the Jets, 461 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: they had to make that move to go from six 462 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: to three and will forever be tracking not only Sam 463 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: Donald but Baker Mayfield. For months, we thought Sam Donald 464 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: was gonna go one two Cleveland and then the Jets 465 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: were gonna potentially have a decision there between Baker Mayfield 466 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: and Josh rosen Man Josh Allen, but the guy who 467 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: won thirty second in that draft, the last pick in 468 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: the first round was the NFL's MVP last general of 469 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: Mark Jackson. I think these two teams will be linked 470 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: because of that. But I do agree with Andrew that 471 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: it really feels like the Colts cashed in on the 472 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: picks that they received from the Jets, and a that's 473 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: a credit to Chris Ballard and that staff. But that 474 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: was another edition of the official Jets podcast, the Opponent 475 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: Preview Series, e. A and I breaking down the Indianapolis Colts. 476 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: In the next up, the Jets go prime time Thursday 477 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: night football against the Denver Broncos.
