00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: touch on that. We're gonna go over the vibe right

00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: now of this Colts team coming out of the loss.

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh and two start the Chicago Bears at Lucas Oil

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Stadium coming up. We're going to go over a little

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: bit of injury updates. So what's going on, and let's

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: get out the cleaning supplies and clean it up. I've

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: got mister and missus clean here that are gonna clean

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: up some things that are going on in the Colts world.

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: And at the end, I love this. This is gonna

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: be fun. It ain't all that bad, folks, It ain't

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: all that bad. I know it's owing too, but we're

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna remind you it's not all that bad. But we

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: start JJ on your side over there lambeau Field. We

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of knew what was gonna happen there. We said, okay,

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback just signed a major extension. He'll be off.

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: They signed the guy's been there twenty days in Malik Willis.

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Hey watch for the run to happen. The Packers took

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: it to the Colts, and it happened. You know, there

24
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: were adjustments made that we did see, you know, some progress,

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: but overall it was it was one of those bar fights.

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: It didn't go our way.

27
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the game where you know, you're in

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: the locker room after the game and you're kind of

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: you're listening for the tone of it, right, You're listening

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: for how guys are communicating their answers to you, not

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: just what the answers are. And I thought Zira Franklin had,

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: you know, some really good things to say, as he

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: usually does, right, But something he said is, like this team,

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: because there are somebody vets on this team, that this

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: is where the culture kind of gets put to the test.

36
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: The culture that the Colts spent training camp building, OTA's building,

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: because all right, we're owned too, we're having some issues.

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: We're not playing complimentary football. But something he said, something

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: he told me, was that like, we don't have any

40
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: guys on this team who are like mother fing another player,

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: a teammate, a coach, and he's like, and if we do,

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: we got the guys to put that fire out real quick.

43
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: So got to have a lot of accountability, a lot

44
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: of you know, looking in the mirror and figuring it out.

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: But I think because this team has so many veterans

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: on it baseline, I think they have the right mentality

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: to get out of it. Now. They just have to

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: turn it into actually getting out of this own.

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Ta Hey fifteen sixteen more weeks ago, Lara, I just

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: want to touch on one thing. You did a great

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: job on the sidelines down there. You talked about the

52
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: heat factor there. It was the second hottest game in

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: lambeau Field history, which I was shocked to hear that.

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: So you guys, you were getting worked up on the

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: sidelines there, and the players were. This was a game

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: and that felt like it was out in the desert,

57
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: not Green Bay.

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: It was not the frozen tundra whatsoever. It was.

59
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: It was hot down there, but the atmosphere was amazing.

60
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it was my first trip there. And great

61
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: representation by Colts fans too, Like the amount of blue

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: that were in the stands was awesome. But Yeah, it

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: was kind of an unusual you know, atmosphere in terms

64
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: of how warm it was down there. But i mean, hey,

65
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 4: you know everyone was saying going into it, we're glad

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: to be playing there in September rather than December, and

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: hey that you take what comes with it.

68
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start this off by saying, we look at

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the bench during the game. I know, JJ, you're up

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: in the press box, you're down there. Can you guys

71
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: just touch on Anthony richardson what's going on with him

72
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: on the sidelines after a possible a blown call, an

73
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: interception or whatever, and what is his up and down

74
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: factors like even after success and interceptions. We're gonna touch

75
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: on that in a minute. But how is Anthony during

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: these tough games.

77
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: Well, he will exude some level of frustration, certainly, but

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: he's always immediately like trying to go back in communication,

79
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: whether it's with Jim Bob on the sidelines, whether it's

80
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: with his receivers, his running backs, whatever the group might be.

81
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: So always, but he's not like hot headed, like you

82
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: can tell there's frustration, but he's really good.

83
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: About checking that.

84
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: You know, maybe a minute or so on the sidelines,

85
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: working through that level, exhausting any of that frustration, but

86
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: then immediately locking it, grabbing the tablet, take to look

87
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: at what happened on the play, communicating with whoever it

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: might be. That's you know, best in terms of diagnosing

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: what the issue was and finding the correction. One thing

90
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: I observed was before the Colt's final drive, of course,

91
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: when they had an opportunity trying to score there at

92
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: the very end, late in the fourth quarter, and I

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: watched while the defense was on the field Anthony's demeanor,

94
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: and he was sitting all by himself, eyes closed, just

95
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 4: composing himself. And we've heard so much right about just

96
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: how even that he is, how you know, unruffled he

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: is in these types of situation, how that calm head

98
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: will prevail for him in situations as a young quarterback.

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 4: And that's what I saw, Like, It wasn't this anxiousness.

100
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 4: It wasn't that the moment was you know, too big

101
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: for him, or that he was nervous in any way.

102
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: He truly sat there, eyes closed, almost an meditative type

103
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: of state before he went out there. And although it

104
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: didn't work in the colts favor this time, that having

105
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: that type of practice and that type of approach is

106
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: what's going to set him in this offense up for

107
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: a success when you have situations late in games that

108
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: you need a scoring drive.

109
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: Is he right on pace? Is he right on pace

110
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: for basically missing almost of all last season? JJ, there's

111
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: been some ups and downs. Obviously the star wars super

112
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: plays that are there, but there's been some mistakes. Is

113
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: he right on pace with the Shane Stike and lead

114
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: offense for a quarterback of this ability?

115
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Like I know, it's probably not what anyone wants to hear, right,

116
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: but like we knew there were going to be ups

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: and downs, and Anthony Richardson we knew it. So we're

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: in a down right now, but we knew it was

119
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Last week wasn't up. So okay, we started

120
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: with an up. Now he hit a down. I think eventually,

121
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: if that can level out and your trend line is

122
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: going in the right direction over the course of a season,

123
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: you're happy with what he's doing. But look, we knew

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: that there were going to be ups and downs. I

125
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: set it on our preview podcast, like this is going

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: to be a process with him. It's not going to

127
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 2: be all sunshine and rainbows and every throw is great

128
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: and every decision is great because he's made starts in

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: the NFL. The more he plays and the more he plays,

130
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: specifically with Shane Stike in calling the plays, he's going

131
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: to get better. But you we were always gonna have

132
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: to live with a game like this, and you can't

133
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: be off him like I'm seeing people being like he'd like, oh,

134
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: we should put Flacco and you should get bench. Just

135
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: stop right, just stop with that. This is ridiculous to

136
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: even say that six games into this guy's career that

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: he's not the answer or he's gonna get everyone fuck Like,

138
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: this is ridiculous. Let him calm down, Calm down. We

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: got a long season to go. Just let it, let

140
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: it develop, and by the end of the season, if

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: that trend line's going in the right direction, it's gonna

142
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: be fun.

143
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: And in his favorite guys, I mean, there were some

144
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: bad drops that we had over the last couple of

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: weeks that happened that just isn't, you know, characteristic of

146
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: this Shane Styke and let offense Jonathan Taylor and I'm sorry,

147
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: I'm not calling people out, but ad Mitchell catches that

148
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: ball in his sleep. You know, time and time again,

149
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: so that also in his favor. Things are kind of

150
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: not at the perfect storm where they're not going well

151
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and then this isn't going well at the same times

152
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: and it looks like a disaster. It's certainly not at

153
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, that's what I'm That's what I'm

154
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: getting from the things this is. This is a guy

155
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: with like JJ said, so you know, limited NFL experience

156
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: under his belt, and he's look at a guy like

157
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud with incredible seventeen game experience last it

158
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: takes a season for these guys to come.

159
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's just his second start on the road, right,

160
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: exact career too, and you go into a place like that.

161
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, i mean, look at look at Caleb Williams.

162
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: Like Caleb Williams had a rough start to his career.

163
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: Is if anyone in Chicago is like he's a bust,

164
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: you know, I'm out of it, Like, no, you're not

165
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: doing that. You're you're going off of your evaluation to him,

166
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: and you have to zoom out and understand that these

167
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna have games like this, you're also gonna have

168
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: games like he had against Houston a week ago where

169
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: we were on this podcast fairly talking about how awesome

170
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 2: he looked. Right, it's gonna happen.

171
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: It will.

172
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: Actually, you gotta live with it, and you can't get

173
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: I saw someone send this tweet and I totally I

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: loved it. I don't remember who sent it, so I'm

175
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: sorry if I don't properly credit. But it's like ryone

176
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: wants a quarterback who's got a ton of ability, that

177
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna have highs and lows. But once you get

178
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: the lows, everyone gets a tummy ache. Right, it's fine,

179
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: take some toimes, will be fine.

180
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Stay with the good, stay with the bad, because it's

181
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Obviously with a talent like he is, I

182
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 1: want to go to the injury front, Lara. It starts

183
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: right off the Big Fella ninety nine to Forrest Barkner.

184
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: We saw the you know what happened on the on

185
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: the field, obviously, and watching it again and again in

186
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: slow motion on some of the clips.

187
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: Uh, the fact I watched it in real time, I

188
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 4: mean I was ten feet away from that happening on

189
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: the sidelines, and I thought this was a done for

190
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: the season type of situation. When you see a guy

191
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: with the level of toughness of to Forest Buckner, who

192
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: is slapping the grass in frustration and pain, couldn't.

193
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: Tell exactly what.

194
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 4: Maybe a combination of both then gets carted off, I

195
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 4: mean on the sidelines. Also, those carts have to be

196
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: the oldest functioning carts in the NFL in existence, Like.

197
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: I have a photo of it.

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Like this thing was like heaner since Lombardoco.

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely do they have like the crank I start the

200
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: engine basically, I mean, of course the model T.

201
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was something. Uh.

202
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 4: But I asked Shane Sdyke in this on COLT three

203
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 4: sixty this week, just the measure of toughness of DeForest Buckner,

204
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: and he said, you know, there's not many like Deforce Buckner,

205
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: right with what he does to be on the field

206
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: each and every Sunday, to be reliable, the amount of

207
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: you know, things that he fights through. He was already

208
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 4: battling the back injury. Now he has the ankle as well.

209
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: I never rule out to Forest Buckner. I don't care

210
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: if he hasn't practiced all week long. He is going

211
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: to give you everything he can to be at least a.

212
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: Game time decision.

213
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: And it seems like too that there has been a

214
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: credit to the Colts medical staff and DeForest that they

215
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 4: have found this formula of how to get him to

216
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 4: game day with whatever it takes. So I'm never going

217
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: to rule him out. I also think that you look

218
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: to do you want him to be battling these things

219
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: all the way into January?

220
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: Probably not. Do you give him a week so that

221
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: you know what's the level of improving. You can see

222
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 3: if he sits out one game.

223
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: I also want to see the interior of this defensive

224
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: line step up. There's no replacement for DEFOT ninety nine

225
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 4: is irreplaceable. However, you have to have other people. There

226
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: has been so much investment in this defensive line. We've

227
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: talked about the depth there. This is a defense that

228
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: they want to rotate guys through to keep guys fresh

229
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: up front. Okay, now's the time to step up. Let

230
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: to Forest have a game to get as healthy as

231
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 4: possible because it is a gauntlet of a stretch against

232
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: the division in October, and you want to Forest Buckner

233
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 4: not to be at thirty forty fifty percent. You need

234
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: him well into the at least playing at that sixty

235
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: seventy percent range. When you get into a stretch of

236
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: games in which three out of four are on the

237
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: road within the AFC South.

238
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: Sure, that's a really good point.

239
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: For sure, where are we with layout to Lato? Obviously

240
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: the rookie missed sometime to forest, Shane Siking is going

241
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: to come out later in the week, give us the

242
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: injury update. But you know, that's kind of a two

243
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: headed monster. Then when you're talking about Dfo and Latto

244
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: missing time, La is a hip injury.

245
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: So Shane Stecken kind of said, we'll see, So keep

246
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: an eye on the injury report this week. On the

247
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: one thing I do want to say, because I got

248
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: a couple questions about this, is this doesn't have anything

249
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: to do with his injury history in college. That was

250
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: that was a neck thing. Totally different situation here. This

251
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: is not a like, you know, uh oh type thing.

252
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah a lot too. It's just it's an injury that

253
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: happened in the game and hopefully, you know, he'll be

254
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: okay sooner rather than later.

255
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Good good. Let's talk about Josh Downs. Let's talk about

256
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Julian Blackman. Guys that missed that game. Josh Downs, I

257
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: believe is on par to be part of this game

258
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: plan and playing on Sunday against the Bears. How important

259
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: is he is? How important he is to Anthony Richardson.

260
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: J Y, here we go. It's time for some numbers.

261
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: Here we go, all right, So Anthony Richardson this year

262
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: when targeting receivers out of the slot is seven of

263
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: eighteen for one hundred and thirty two yards. He is

264
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: the lowest completion percentage in the NFL when targeting receivers

265
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: out of the slot, thirty eight point nine percent. His

266
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: average time to throw is three point h one seconds.

267
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: That is the longest average time to throw, So that

268
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: means he's he's not getting even though. Yeah, when he

269
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: does get it out quick though, he's one of five

270
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: when he's targeting a player out of the slot throwing

271
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: under two and a half seconds time to throw.

272
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: So that security blanket lies in the slot.

273
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: No other quarterback in the NFL has a completion percentage

274
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: under fifty percent when targeting a slot receiver throwing it

275
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: quick like that nice. The Colts miss Josh downs right,

276
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: just straight up. They miss Josh Downs. They miss him

277
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: for those easy completions that this offense has been missing.

278
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: That you know, the connection he has with Anthony Richardson

279
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: his ability to work into space to find green grass

280
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: is something that the Colts offense has missed. If the

281
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: Colts get him back this week, I think you're going

282
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: to see more of those seven yards. Keep it, keep

283
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: it ahead of the chains. It's second in three, you

284
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: need a first down, get it to downs. Just stuff

285
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: like that will immensely help this Colts offense stay on

286
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 2: the field. In addition to during training camp, we saw

287
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: him win down the field quite a bit. So it's

288
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 2: not just that you're gonna be dinking and dunking it

289
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: to Josh Downs. He can win downfield too, But baseline

290
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: one of five throwing the ball under two and a

291
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: half seconds to a slot receiver, that that's like, that's unsustainable.

292
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: It won't be that bad all year, and it won't

293
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: be that bad when Josh Down's.

294
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's go applause for Josh Downs back in

295
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: the lineup. Fingers are crossed, Lara really quick. The importance

296
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: of Julian Blackman did this defense when he's not on

297
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: the field huge.

298
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 4: There were guys on this defense that I talked to

299
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: last week that said, you know, it takes a while

300
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: to get on the same page within a secondary and

301
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 4: that you just and you had to ramp that up right,

302
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: You had to accelerate that timing because you had had

303
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: a particular group on the field and then you lose

304
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: Juji Bran's obviously Julian Blackman's not there, and it just

305
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: seemed like there were certain points in that game I

306
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: would observe the demeanor behind guys in that secondary, and

307
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 4: guys just weren't communication communicating to the level that you

308
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: needed and to be different things that regard. I thought

309
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 4: Kenny Moore was outstanding just in terms of how candid

310
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 4: he was after the game.

311
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: And you know, Julian's tough.

312
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 4: You know the number of different things that he has

313
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: endured over the course of his career. I mean, although

314
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: you know, shoulder is something that you don't want to

315
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 4: mess around with, so we'll see.

316
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 3: I think that you'd like to at least have him limited.

317
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 4: Participation over the course of the week, given the opponent

318
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: that you have, you know, coming in and the receiving

319
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: threats that the Chicago Bears do pose. But I also

320
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: wouldn't be bothered if he has no time on the

321
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: field and is able to sit up on game day

322
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: it's just but I also just think that the start

323
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: of this season in general across the NFL has been

324
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: wild with injuries. This is not just something that is

325
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: impacting the Indianapolis Colts. For whatever reason. It does seem

326
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: like that it's just an early wave, an early rash

327
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: of significant injuries to very notable players across the league.

328
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: So now let's just how you navigate it.

329
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I've been waiting for this one here, guys.

330
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about those Saturday mornings. You know, we're talking

331
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: about after work on a Wednesday or Saturday mornings. You

332
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: get that garage. I'm just saying, you know, you get

333
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: in there, you clean out the garage. Hey, honey, I've

334
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: got to clean out underneath the sink. This has been

335
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: bothering me for three months. We clean it up, and

336
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: then we move on. Same thing with football, guys. So

337
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: I've got about four different things here that I want

338
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: you guys to clean up at this state of the game,

339
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: right now, where the Colts are at, you guys are

340
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: here to clean it up.

341
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: We ready, Let's do it.

342
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Colts fans, braced yourself because you want answers. They're coming

343
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: right now. First and foremost the run defense. JJ's starting

344
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: with you, how does it get better?

345
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: All right, So let's start with how it got better

346
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: against green Bay because it did the first three drives.

347
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: Green Bay ran the ball at will against the Colts

348
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: after that. So from the second quarter through the fourth quarter,

349
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: excuse me, the Colts played base defense to the Packers

350
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: eleven personnel.

351
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: So please explain that to it.

352
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Yepes, I was just getting there. So the eleven personnel

353
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: is three wide receivers and base defense is three linebackers.

354
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: So usually if a team is in eleven personnel with

355
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: three receivers on the field, you're playing nickel with three

356
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: cornerbacks on the field. The Colts played primarily nickel to

357
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: the Packers eleven in the first quarter Kenny Kenny Moore

358
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: say on the slot and then two outside corners. Green

359
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Bay averaged nine point eight yards per carrie in the

360
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: first quarter when they ran it out of eleven personnel

361
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: on fourteen carries. From the second quarter on, the Colts

362
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: shifted to playing base defense on forty percent of their place.

363
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: What does personnel look like again? Kenny goes.

364
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: Jalen Carlies comes in the game at linebacker. Kenny goes outside.

365
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: You take Dallas Flowers or Samuel Womack off the field

366
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: got you Green Bay when they ran it out of

367
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: eleven personnel, and the second through the fourth quarter averaged

368
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: three yards per carry. So that's a difference of six

369
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: point eight yards per attempt that the Colts got better

370
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: at once they started playing more base defense. Now you

371
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 2: can't do that every week because not every quarterback is

372
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: Malik Willis where the game plan is for him to

373
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: not throw the football. But that was the start of

374
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: how the Colts were able to fix it. The D

375
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: line also started playing much better, and I thought Zire

376
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Franklin and EJ. Speed were able to play downhill a

377
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: whole lot more in the second through the fourth quarter.

378
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: And you know, Gus Bradley talked about it today when

379
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: he met with the media that you know, Franklin and

380
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: Speed specifically have not been put in the best situations

381
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: to play as downhill as we've seen in years past.

382
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: And that's not due to scheme, due to you know,

383
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: play up front, whatever it might be. Gus Bradley, I thought,

384
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: you know, hit a really nice note saying like whatever

385
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: issues in the run defense, it is not all on

386
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 2: Franklin in speed, and that's important to remember here. What

387
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: the cults are going to have to do, though, is

388
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: figure out how they can play defense run defense when

389
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: they are going to have to play eleven personnel and

390
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: play nickel to eleven personnel because you're going to face

391
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: better passing offenses and offenses that do want to throw

392
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: the football more than Green Bay did. So the key

393
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: there is going to be can you figure out a

394
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: scheme where you can get Franklin at speed to play

395
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: downhill and be allowed to play downhill where you they

396
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: aren't kind of frozen by motion whatever it might be,

397
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: while having your five defensive backs on the field.

398
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Okay, so we did see success Leara. We don't know

399
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: what's going on with the on the injury front. We

400
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: talked about that a lot too miss some time obviously,

401
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner. Take those two guys out of a rushing defense.

402
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: How do we cleaning it up if they happen to

403
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: not play this week?

404
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: I mean, well, Latsio's a little bit more of a

405
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 4: you know, a passing down situation right as a pass

406
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: rushing type of end. But to me, I look at

407
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: there are a few guys who in those situations like

408
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: I think Quitty's limitations with the hamstring or something to

409
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: watch this week as well.

410
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: But I think that this is a prime opportunity for

411
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: a guy like.

412
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: Ray Kwan, Davis to really step up at a time

413
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: well at a bar A, Tavian Bryan, a lot of

414
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 4: those guys that's who you want to see take that step,

415
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: especially with having so many reps that they had in

416
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: that game against Screen Bay.

417
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: We've seen them rotating through even.

418
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: In Week one as well. Those are kind of the

419
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 4: guys that I'm looking to. I've thought Dio had some

420
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: really good plays last week against Screen Bay as well,

421
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: But to me, it's kind of that Tommy, Tavin, ray Kwan,

422
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 4: those are those kind of the core group because even

423
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: if Buck plays, you know he's going to be limited.

424
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: They were very intentional when they were bringing him in

425
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 4: and taking him off last week, and you know with

426
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: lat too, you're not going to overextend him as well.

427
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 4: I think you're going to really save him for pass

428
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 4: rush situations in particular. So it's more leaning toward those

429
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: guys who have that run stuff ability that you want

430
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 4: to see step up with the opponent coming in that

431
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 4: you have this way and they haven't been all that

432
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: great in the run game so far, so you could

433
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: be catching him in a good situation. Look how effective

434
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 4: Houston was in getting to Caleb Williams right when we

435
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 4: talk about being complimentary in your defense, and I this

436
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: is something I asked Shane Steichen official, it is to

437
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: at least have a common opponent when you're this early

438
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: in the season. You can look at how the Texans

439
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 4: game planned for them, you know, how the Texans game

440
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 4: plan for you.

441
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, and look, it's got to be fixed. That EJ. Speed,

442
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: you know, talked about it on Monday, Like, the reality

443
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: is it's a problem. Here's the reality. The Colts have

444
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: allowed more rushing yards in the first two games of

445
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: season than any team is allowed seventy four four and

446
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: seventy five.

447
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: They've allowed the most by seventy five yards.

448
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, since in the NFL this year, and no team

449
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: has allowed more rushing yards in the first two games

450
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: of season since nineteen eighty That's the reality. The reality

451
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: is this has to get fixed because you can bet

452
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: Shane Waldron is sitting up there in House Hall right

453
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: now and like Forrest being like DeAndre Swift, You're.

454
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 4: Up, Yeah, right, and like Shane Waldron, I didn't know

455
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 4: until yesterday who who that is?

456
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: Tell people who the Bears offensive court.

457
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 4: No excuse me, just to have context, yes, because I

458
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: was yeah, you dropped that name, and I was like quick, cool, sir?

459
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: Right, Well yeah, because I'm also like, you know, I

460
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: hear it from all my friends up in Chicago asking

461
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: me about Shane Waldron. What do you think of him?

462
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: What do you think of I haven't watched him at

463
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: all other than to know he's probably gonna say We're

464
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: gonna run the ball until the Colt show they can

465
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: stop us this week.

466
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: Okay, well we did see the positive about that. You

467
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: said it best obviously when they when they switched up defenses,

468
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: they did not have the onslaught of rushing yards that

469
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: they had in the first quarter and a half.

470
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: It's more like, I don't know if that's sustainable, right,

471
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if you can play Jalen Carlives

472
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: against Keenan Allen out of the slot in Week three.

473
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: I don't think you can with that match half. I've

474
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: mean down the field with what Keenan Allen can do,

475
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: but there are ways to clean it up, and you're

476
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: just hearing some of those right now, guys, I want

477
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: to flip to switch JJ. Start with you. Third down

478
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: in consistency both sides of the ball. Not bad against Houston,

479
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean on the numbers, but boyle boy, when Houston

480
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: needed that big third down, they got it here and

481
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: on this game against the Packers, Packers converted seven of

482
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: their first.

483
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: Nine, right yeah, I mean that it goes back to

484
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: stopping the run. Right Like, for the defense. You're not

485
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: gonna get off the field if you're facing third and

486
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: two and they can run the ball at you. So

487
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: it goes all into stopping the run for the defense.

488
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the offense though, because the

489
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: Colts offense did not convert a third down until two

490
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: minutes and twenty six seconds to go in the fourth quarter.

491
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: Here are just two for nine on the day.

492
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: Two for nine on the day. Here is why I

493
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: am not worried about the Colts on third down. Okay,

494
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 2: this season, the Colts are turning any play into a

495
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: first down or a touchdown. And I'm thirty two point

496
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: three percent of the time, so they're getting a first

497
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: down or a touchdown about one third of their offensive place.

498
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: That's fifth best in the NFL. They're right up there

499
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: with the best offenses in the league. The Chiefs, the

500
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, the Bills, Drew pettsing, and the Arizona

501
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 2: Cardinals are doing some funky stuff. And then you have

502
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: the Saints, who are like right universe right now. But

503
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: those are the teams that the Colts are around in

504
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: terms of just conversion rate, not third down conversion rate,

505
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: first down touchdown conversion rate. They're gonna be fine. You

506
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: gotta hit more layups to stay on the field, but

507
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: this offense is going to generate so many explosive plays

508
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: that you can live with a third down conversion rate

509
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: that's about league average if you're turning a bunch of

510
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: first downs into first downs?

511
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: Lara, am I going to be able to see? Are

512
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: we going to be able to see a nine minute

513
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: drive out of Anthony Richardson soon? With you know, four

514
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: or five first downs in that in that nineties?

515
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll get there.

516
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 4: And I think that what is going to set you

517
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 4: up for that is you got the run game going

518
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 4: with Jonathan and the offensive line this last week.

519
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: That's going to help.

520
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 4: I think I want to piggyback on the third down

521
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 4: third down conversation really quickly is the problem for the

522
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: Colts is you got yourself in a lot of third

523
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 4: and long situations just by not being productive on those

524
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 4: first and second downs obviously, but then also some penalty situations.

525
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: This was really somewhat uncharacteristic of what we have seen

526
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 4: a number of penalties on Quentin Nelson, Like how often.

527
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: Does that happen?

528
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: Right?

529
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: There were just some situations there.

530
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: That put you, you know, behind the chains, put you

531
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: in less than ideal situations in third down territories. So

532
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: I think that that's something you look at. To me,

533
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 4: it's like not just even the efficiency on third down,

534
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: it's like how many of those third downs were third

535
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: and long? So you know, like that's and it's just

536
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 4: like you know, not getting on cadence, not getting your

537
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: offense rolling early, and that was something that Shane said,

538
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: like we never settled in in that first half. And

539
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 4: I think that two home games can really help cure

540
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: that for the Schools offense. But what's going to set

541
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 4: you up to be more productive is certainly establishing the

542
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: run game behind Jonathan Taylor, and then also that will

543
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: help some designed run situations for Anthony when you need

544
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 4: it on third and shorts. That is where he should

545
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 4: be in a great position to use his legs. He

546
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 4: considers it timetime. Again, that's his superpower, right, allow him

547
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: to do what he does. We saw him improv right

548
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 4: and use his legs against Green Bay. Not in some

549
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 4: ideal situations, but certainly able to keep some plays alive,

550
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: extend some plays, do all of that.

551
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 3: Now is the time where that complement.

552
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: Of Anthony and JT should really come to fruition to

553
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 4: see all of that efficiency improve. And that goes along

554
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 4: I mean to me third down, efficiency, time and possession.

555
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 4: Those things work in tandem.

556
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, let's have our social media minute for this

557
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: show if I will. And if you're wondering what I'm

558
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: talking about, I think you just have to google friendliest

559
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the NFL. Yes, what and if you

560
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. It was kind of a

561
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: blind side block. He knew he he could have really

562
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: really damaged this player fifty five for the Packers coming over.

563
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: But Quentin Nelson, if you didn't see it, simply just

564
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: extended his hands almost like he laid him down, got

565
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: him a glass of milk.

566
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 3: It's it's almost like how you have to tackle a quarterback.

567
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: That's how defensive you feel about like, but the reason

568
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: quarterback right, I.

569
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: Just want to get your I want to get your

570
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: opinions on this. I have my own, but just real

571
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: quick and we'll move on. We're still cleaning up Quentin

572
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: doing that? Why why?

573
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: Why why? Because if you hit him too hard.

574
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 3: He took mercy.

575
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, was a mercy I mean. But also like you

576
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: hit him too hard, you can get pound.

577
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: Even even with a shoulder pad to the sternum, right,

578
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: you can, you can still get that unsportsman.

579
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Like you, You're never know when that flag might come out.

580
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: So if you can, if you can say I can

581
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: accomplish my goal right right, like you said Jeffer, laying

582
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: him down in bed, put the blanket over him, giving

583
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: him a kiss good night. You know, if it's great.

584
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: It's great, if you have seeing to check it out

585
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: on social media. We are not cleaning it up right now.

586
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to our third presentation of mister and missus

587
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: clean cleaning it up. Time of possession. I don't know,

588
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: I JJ you would probably know this. Layer two. It's

589
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: like I've never been associated or followed or just been

590
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: a fan of or watching any sort of franchise in

591
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: the NFL that is getting doubled on time of possession

592
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: their first two games. And not only that, And I

593
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: want you guys to expand on this. These both games

594
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: are one score games. You know, these are winnable games

595
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: that we're doing that, and the time of possession is

596
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: certainly just a gorilla to a mouse.

597
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: Time of possession is usually this overrated statistic that like

598
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: doesn't always tell you if a team is good or not.

599
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: But like, this is so out of whack that it's

600
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: something you know, Jim Bob Cooter addressed it today, like

601
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 2: they got to get the ball. They just have to

602
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: have the ball. More like, you can't expect to win

603
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: a lot of games if you only have the ball

604
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: for nineteen minutes, right, And even you know, I even

605
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: looked at it, the Cults are averaging nineteen minutes and

606
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: fifty five seconds of possession. That's about three and a

607
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: half minutes shorter than the second to last team in

608
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: the NFL, which is Carolina Panthers. Yeah, so I mean

609
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: that's like think about that. That is three and a

610
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: half minutes is like that's like two drives. The way

611
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: the cults are going right now. But look, this goes

612
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: back to being in more of an offensive rhythm, like

613
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: Lara was talking about with Jonathan Taylor, getting him going

614
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: more with Josh downs coming back, I think is important

615
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: of just you get more completions. This is something I'm

616
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: not super worried about. But it also you know, it

617
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: does go into you got to get the run defense

618
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: a little bit of time to rest too. Like now,

619
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: if you're hitting a sixty yard touchdown, no one's complaining

620
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: that you got the ball for you know, ten seconds,

621
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 2: But if you're going three and out, then that's a problem.

622
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: You got to clean up the three and outs.

623
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it is, Lara, what do you think of this

624
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: time of position? You've ever seen anything so dramatically as

625
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: far as high to low on this as far as

626
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, just just we talked about it. You know,

627
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: sustaining long drive on stuff is going to answer these questions.

628
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 4: Part of it is, too, is how much do we

629
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: celebrate how explosive this offense looked in week one? Well,

630
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: when you're explosive, those plays happened quickly, so you're not.

631
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 4: I mean, it's also like it's two sighted, right if

632
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 4: we want this offense to be explosive. That means you're

633
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: gonna score on these sixty yard bombs to Alec Pearson,

634
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: a fifty.

635
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: Plus bomb dashed, and I mean all of those things.

636
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: So then that is going to decrease your time of

637
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: possession when you're scoring in that fashion. So it's going

638
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: to be I don't want to say feast or famine

639
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 4: with this offense. They're going to, you know, find a

640
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: level there of you know, compliment in terms of you're

641
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: going to have the explosive plays but then also be

642
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: able to sustain some that's just gonna take a little

643
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: bit of time to establish and settle in within the offense.

644
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 4: But to me, it's like also like we all get

645
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: excited about how awesome these quick score plays look. Well,

646
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 4: then obviously if you're scoring on a touchdown like that,

647
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 4: then you're not controlling the.

648
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: Ryah in a minute four seconds. Yeah, it just doesn't

649
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: add up. I hear what you're saying. And as this

650
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Colts offense is explosive like that, we all would like

651
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: to see more of some sustained drives. We're cleaning it

652
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: up right here. Let's go to Anthony Richardson. I'm not

653
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: burying the kid because this is a great football player

654
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: that the whole world is going to see how dominant

655
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: he is. But he has four interceptions through the first

656
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: two games. Could have been more, JJ could have been

657
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: more on that. There was a drop defensively against Green Bay,

658
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: hit him right in the midst and stuff. Clean this

659
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 1: up for me, obviously, I think you're gonna go back

660
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: to the Josh dowinspacktro on this, but let's clean up

661
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: the interceptions with they are.

662
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the you know, you look at the

663
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: the three real ones he's thrown like you're taking.

664
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: The fourth one out and the hail Mary.

665
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, the three real ones he threw the one against Houston.

666
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: You know, Colin grantson slips, I'm not sure that's like

667
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 2: one that you're like red alert. This is a problem. Uh,

668
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: the one to Alec Pierce. You know, Anthony said he

669
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: threw off his back foot. There was some pressure that

670
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: was there. I don't know if that was the right

671
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: decision or not. It looks like there is maybe a

672
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: little bit of space if he had led Alec further,

673
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: but it wouldn't have mattered if he threw it too

674
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: deep anyway, because McKinney was right there. And then the

675
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: one to Pittman that Wilson picked off, Wilson kind of

676
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: baited him into that one. Is what it looked like

677
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: where Anthony said he thought Ady Mitchell was going to

678
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: come across on kind of a quick six yard in breaker.

679
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: He thought Wilson was going to carry him, which would

680
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: have left some space for Pittman. As soon as Anthony

681
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: begins his throwing motion, Wilson flips his hips. He's just

682
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: right and pit So I'm not like as worried about

683
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: them though, because he so Anthony never had a three

684
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: interception game, a two interception game before Sunday in his career.

685
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: He's not a guy who has proven to be like

686
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: just turnovers, just falling out a game when he's back there,

687
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 2: so I think there's a better chance that he gets

688
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: this thing corrected. Obviously, you can't have it, you can't

689
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: lose the turnover battle. But the defense doesn't need to

690
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 2: take the ball away too. The Colts on lay one

691
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: takeaway through two games, so you know Anthony's gonna have

692
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: moments right where he sees a defense that is a

693
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: little bit different than maybe what he's ever seen before.

694
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: In his career and he you know, throws the ball

695
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: to the other team or something like that. But I'm

696
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: not like, I'm not like Reddlert worried about this one,

697
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm cleaning up. If I'm like focusing on

698
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: things to clean up, I'm cleaning up the run defense,

699
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: I'm cleaning up time of possession. Because to go back

700
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: to that, while we were just talking about that, I

701
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: looked it up and teams in the last five years

702
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: are two and eighteen when possessing the ball for under

703
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, as the Colts have now in both of

704
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: their games, so or sorry, two and nineteen at twenty

705
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: minutes are under So those are the things I'm looking

706
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: to clean up. The interceptions, you always want to clean

707
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: those up, but they're kind of there may be a

708
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: little lower down on my cleaning list.

709
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 4: Order. Here are the other things that I like about

710
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: this week, in particular, is you're facing the Chicago Bears

711
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: and Matt Eberflues defense that this entire offensive line has

712
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: been sure experienced up against. Right, I've talked to Ryan

713
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: Kelly about like how beneficial it is. Surely some different

714
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: wrinkles in the system, some different personnel that.

715
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: He has in Chicago.

716
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: But you know this scheme, You've gone up against it

717
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: just last year in training camp you had two joint

718
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 4: practices up against it in addition to the preseason game.

719
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: So those are all facts that are kind of like

720
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: for those veterans within this offense who are so familiar,

721
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: familiar going up against Sluice for a number of years

722
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: right here, and how that can help prepare Anthony and

723
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 4: the rest of this offense to have a really productive day.

724
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: Great, that's a cleaned up segment. And I'm going to

725
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: the it's not on your list, guys, but are you

726
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: concerned segment lack of defensive turnovers when we know that

727
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: this has been high on the list the last few

728
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: years and not only at having success with turnovers, but

729
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: this year, especially starting on the low end. JJ.

730
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably a little concerned about that because this defense,

731
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, did bring everyone back and that should lead

732
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: to you know, more chemistry and more ability to take

733
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: chances on getting these plays. But also like, if you

734
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: can't stop the run, the ball's probably not going in

735
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: harm's way all that much. So stopping the run really

736
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: it is kind of the crux of everything. I think

737
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: if you see the cult stopping the run, you're going

738
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: to see them get off the field more. On third down.

739
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: You're going to see quarterbacks have to throw more dangerous

740
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: passes that could lead to Julian Blackman anymore. The second

741
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: you know e j Speed, these guys taking more chances

742
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: to go pick it off and being successful with it.

743
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: It all goes back to stopping the run. Jeffrey, that's

744
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: just what I what I go back fair enough.

745
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: Lara, Are these guys gonna turn it on, start sinking

746
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: the ball from the opponent or what?

747
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you'll see it. You'll see it come.

748
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: We've seen punch out.

749
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know Week one you saw.

750
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 4: A couple should have been would have been type of situation.

751
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: Guji Brentz, Kenny.

752
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: Moore, like both of those guys. So yeah, they're they're

753
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: gonna come for sure.

754
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, now this is the fun part. Let's go.

755
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: Let's get out our bright, sunny shine days that were

756
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: you know right now and this is it's not all bad.

757
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: And I want to start with the offensive line. Guys,

758
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, it's not all bad. At zero and two,

759
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: I know it's not where Shane Stikeen and these Colts

760
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: want to be right there. But it's seventeen weeks. It's

761
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: not all that bad. And more importantly, guys, than the

762
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: good news that I'm starting with three other teams in

763
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: the AFC South. Two other teams rather in the AFC

764
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: South have the identical records. The Colts leaders are right

765
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: two and oh. Rest of the division zero and two.

766
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: All right, here's here's where I'm gonna be glass half full,

767
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: and in like a really significant way. Teams that have

768
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: offensive line issues it's hard to recover from those. I mean,

769
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: we saw it in twenty twenty two that torpedoed the

770
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 2: Colts season, the offensive line issues that team had. The

771
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 2: Colts this year they rank first in Pro Football Focus

772
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 2: pass blocking grade at eighty nine point seven and their

773
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: fourth and run block grade at eighty four point eight.

774
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: That's just the offensive line. Quentin Nelson highest Pro Football

00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: Focus pass.

776
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: Block grade across the league.

777
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: He's across the league among guards, sorry among guards, yeah,

778
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 2: third highest among guards. Will Fries Bernard Ryman is tenth

779
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: among tackles. Ryan Kelly is fourth among centers. Braden Smith

780
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: is also in the top twenty among tackles.

781
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: Awesome. Okay, that's good.

782
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: Now this offensive line I love saying offensive line is

783
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: a weak link system. And you know, we talked a

784
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: lot about Will Fries last year, like he was not

785
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 2: a weak link in that offensive line. Well, Will Fries

786
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: is just good now he is. Like you're not worried

787
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: about him being a weak link. He's a good offensive lineman,

788
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: a guy who's playing at a really high level right now.

789
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: There's not a single week link in this offensive line,

790
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: in the starting five right now. And if you can

791
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: build on that, Yeah, this season's gonna go. It's gonna

792
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 2: be fine because this offensive line is really really good.

793
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: That's the starting point for my optimism for this team.

794
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: That's great. And when the Colts rattle off four or

795
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: five six wins in a row, we forget about this

796
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: zero to two start. Loo, It's not all that bad.

797
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: How about Alec Pierce. If we were handing out MVP

798
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: on hers through two weeks, he might be wearing the crown.

799
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 3: A kid who grew up a Green Bay Packer fan.

800
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: What a day for him.

801
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 4: He had like twenty plus family members who were there

802
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: at Lambeau Field. He got to do the Lambeau Leak,

803
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: which which he said he told me last week he

804
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,479
Speaker 4: would do if he got into the end zone. That's,

805
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 4: I mean, full circle moment for him. So surreal, I know.

806
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: But what's really impressive touchdowns in back to back games

807
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: to start the season. The last Colts receiver to have

808
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 4: touchdowns in three consecutive games.

809
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: You guys know who, Robert.

810
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman junior. Yeah.

811
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 4: So I believe it was from the final two games

812
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: of the twenty two season, in the first game of

813
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three seasons, so it extended over too but seasons.

814
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 4: But it was in three consecutive games, finishing up the

815
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: last two of one season.

816
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: That's good because I blocked the end of the twenty

817
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: twenty two seasons, so I don't remember that.

818
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: So if he can go, if he can go three

819
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 4: straight games, get another one this week, then he'd be

820
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: right up there with Captain pitt Yeah. I think it's

821
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 4: you know, this is what you really wanted and hoped

822
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 4: for for Alec Pearce with having Anthony back there at quarterback.

823
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: And I asked Alec last week when he was our

824
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 4: guest on Colts three sixty about how much of a

825
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 4: mentor that Reggie has been for him, and he said that,

826
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 4: you know, he's just been instilling in him to keep

827
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 4: doing the little things well, like focus on the details.

828
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 4: Everything's gonna come together, especially with five back at quarterback.

829
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: You know how explosive, how much we're going to push

830
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 4: the ball. This really compliments your game. We're going to

831
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 4: this is going to be your time. You've been patient,

832
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 4: keep being patient. This is all gonna come to fruition.

833
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 4: And you're seeing exactly that.

834
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, Josh Downs open up passing lanes to these outside

835
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: guys like ad Mitchell obviously Michael Piman. Is it a

836
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: different look? JJ I want to look for the bright

837
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: side on this glass is definitely half full. Josh Downs

838
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: is now in the lineup? Are we talking about I

839
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: don't want to say who gets less reps on the

840
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers, but are those lanes opened up a little

841
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: bit more, a little bit more wiggle room, little more

842
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: space for Anthony to throw in with Josh Downs on

843
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: the field on the outside guys.

844
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: Those those guys have hit a decent amount of space already. Yeah,

845
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: I think just the way that things have been schemed up. Yeah, so,

846
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope so, but I don't know if necessarily,

847
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: Downs has like a huge impact on how those outside

848
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 2: guys are because they're getting open, right, I mean, Pierce

849
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: is getting open. AD's getting open like those guys the

850
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: you know and Pearson. Ad will probably rotate a little

851
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: bit more, okay, you know with Downs in there in

852
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: the slot. But also you can put a D in

853
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: the slot, and you can put Pit in the slot.

854
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: You can put Duel in wherever you want. There's more

855
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: flexibility with this offense that will only get better when

856
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: Josh Downs comes.

857
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: Jim Bob and Coach Sichin you have fun on this one, guys.

858
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end on this note. Here's what I think

859
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: happens at Lucas Oil Stadium. It's the win that this

860
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 1: franchise needs. It's the win that this offense needs. It's

861
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: long drives, it's Anthony Richardson being patient. It's a defense

862
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: coming around as a whole and really showing that. Not

863
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: so much a dominant game, but I really do think

864
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: the Colts are going to control both sides of the ball.

865
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: I think it's wake up time for this. Both sides

866
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: of the ball know it as well. In Chicago, you

867
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be great and the number one overall

868
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: pick Caleb Williams. But you are who you are with

869
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback like that and some questions around that roster.

870
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: So that's just my thank on it. I think this

871
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: is the one that we needed. It's that elixa the

872
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 1: Colts needed. They're going to get the home win one

873
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: and two after this week versus the Bears.

874
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 4: Life love that outlook, and that's one thing that I

875
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: talked to Ryan Kelly about being that steadying force for

876
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 4: the offense. There's nothing that he hasn't seen, experienced, endured

877
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 4: in his time. And we joked about, hey, remember back

878
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen, you were one in five went on

879
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 4: to make the playoffs. Not that you want to put

880
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: yourself in situations, but there's no I mean there's certainly

881
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: I want to say there's a sense of urgency, but

882
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: not a sense of panic right now. That's kind of

883
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 4: how I would strike within the locker room right now.

884
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: But it's a team.

885
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 4: You think about the core group, guys who know how

886
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 4: to do it, Guys who know how to stack stretches

887
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 4: of wins together. No better opportunity than to very winnable

888
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: games at home on the calendar in these next two weeks.

889
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, when I talked with Kenny Moore the second in

890
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: the locker room after the Packers game, just about like

891
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: how to handle B and O and two, he was like, look,

892
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 2: you break the season up into quarters. The first quarter

893
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: of the season, you want to be you want to

894
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: win as many games as possible, but you really want

895
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: to at least be even coming out of it. Colts

896
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: still can do that if they beat the Bears and

897
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: then to beat the Steelers at home. You can be

898
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: even coming out of the first quarter of the season

899
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: and everything is still in front of you.

900
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 4: And the good thing is, I mean only the Houston

901
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 4: Texans have been the ones to take the hold on

902
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 4: the division so far, right, Like, I mean, look at

903
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 4: what you know. Tennessee's figuring it out, Jacksonville's figuring it out.

904
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 4: So like in terms of you're certainly it's not like

905
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 4: you're out of it.

906
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 3: And as you're going into.

907
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 4: A three whatsoever, right, Like, you can put yourself in

908
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 4: great position with one two wins.

909
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 2: The Ravens and Bengals are also owen.

910
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, I mean the place right now?

911
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, actually, you know who could have

912
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: seen that coming is Gardner Minshew, who once again goes

913
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: into Baltimore in September and wins a game that no

914
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: one expected them to win. Credit to Gardner tip.

915
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: Of the hat, I'll tell you at Larra Overton, at

916
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: JJ Stankovic in one last final, this is a big

917
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: game for you because, if memory serves and I go

918
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: over the transaction sheet from years ago, the Bears put

919
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: you on the practice squad, the Colts poached you off supports.

920
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: Chicago just cut down a story. I know, but I'm

921
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: just saying, but no, you have Chicago Bears. Obviously, I'm

922
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: telling you this, You're gonna have not half of Chicago media,

923
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: all of Chicago media on you if the Colts don't

924
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: get this victory.

925
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: So I'm pulling no, no, no, no, no, no no they

926
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: It won't be Chicago media. It's going to be all

927
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: of my friends in Chicago.

928
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: That's it. Coming from Chicago friends, possibly even family, and
