00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,880

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,039

Speaker 1: but I've tell you what. His heart is as big

49
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: as it gets. And he's like, hey, fans, I'm gonna

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: be suffering with you through this thing. So you know,

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: let's have a little bit fun. All right, Let's look

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: at the big picture. Now we are four ten and one.

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Following that loss to the Chargers. They clinched a playoff.

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Bert justin Herbert playing well. Keenan Allen, we saw Eckler

55
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: what they do they are. We talked about a pregame,

56
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: you talked about a Durney game. Everything we talked about happened.

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: Those guys they can stay. Yeah, Keenan Allen over a hunter.

58
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: I mean just they can see it. We now sit

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: the Colts, that is, sit fifth in the draft order

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: with two games left. Monday's loss also that the Colts

61
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: having at least a top ten pick mate. That's I

62
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: guess the good news. When you're looking at no playoff

63
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: following this rid, it's it's as high as the possibility

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: of the number one first overall pick, and it's as

65
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: low as staying in the top ten and ten if

66
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: we went out the last two. Right. That's the byproduct

67
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: of all of this is you're gaining draft capital, and

68
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: that's where I think a lot of fans have been

69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: for a while. And you know, you can't blame anybody.

70
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I think that's the reality of all of this is

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts are switching quarterbacks around and three

72
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: different guys have started the game this year, and that's

73
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: just where everybody is right now. I mean, everybody is

74
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: not looking at these games fandom wise as must wins

75
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's sort of get through this

76
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: tail into the two twenty two season, get onto two

77
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: thousand and twenty three, and you're gonna see some major moves,

78
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot of changes in the off season, and it's

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: gonna be very eventful, starting with the head coach. Yeah,

80
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: it's starting with the head coaches. Right. Do the Colts

81
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: find their franchise quarterback perhaps in this draft? Got to

82
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: find out what's happening there. This is the big picture

83
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: part of this podcast, and we're looking down the road obviously,

84
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: but we got two more games left here and then

85
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: we go into twenty twenty three. You said, the big one,

86
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: who's gonna coach this football team next year? Jeff Saturday's

87
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: going out there. And keep this in mind. You got

88
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: the first win against Vegas that was great, and after

89
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: that they dropped. You know, we've lost five in a row,

90
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: first time since two seventeen. Matt Taylor, we all remember,

91
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: have lost eight of their last nine games, and I

92
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: want to stick on there because I mean, even through

93
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: the Pagano years, even through you know, to have this

94
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: sort of you know, just just piling it up, just

95
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: stacking into the losses in the cupboard, the territory that

96
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in right now because we

97
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: haven't sniffed the playoffs for quite a while, haven't snipped

98
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: a division title for quite a while. So I'm not

99
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: saying overhaul this team is close. Matt. We've talked about

100
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: some of the key players that they have, some of

101
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the guys that are going to be back next year.

102
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: The next head coach, how he wants to culture what

103
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of football player he wants in that locker room

104
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: and stuff. So that's what we're going And I'll say this,

105
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: and I want to hear your thoughts on it. Jeff

106
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Saturday is coaching as if he's gonna have a shot

107
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: to coach this team in twenty twenty three. I know

108
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: he's had long discussions with the owner said hey, come

109
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: out in the interim basis, But Saturday saying, Hey, if

110
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm the guy, I want to find

111
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: what kind of nut that I'm gonna have there? What

112
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of nut that I can grow into a huge,

113
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: big tree. And that's talking about getting the type of

114
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: quality of player that Jeff Saturday wants in that lineup.

115
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: And I know he's gonna lean back on his glory

116
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: years with Peyton Manning and everybody else and Edrin James

117
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: and Marvin Harrison and kind of duplicate that it's gonna

118
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: be tough because those guys are good. But Mattam, I'm saying,

119
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three right now, with two games left, who's

120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to this because they want to put out

121
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: their resume not to go elsewhere, but to stay here

122
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis and say Hey, we're you know, no Darius Leonard,

123
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: some of the big names are out, No Jonathan Taylor

124
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I want to talk to

125
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: you about some guys that want to secure themselves for

126
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Well, that's just it. I mean, nothing's guaranteed.

127
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, even the guys that are under contract. I mean,

128
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. I say it all the time.

129
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: It stands for not for long. So just because you're

130
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: under contract doesn't mean you're guaranteed a spot for twenty

131
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. There's a lot of impending unrestricted free agents

132
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: on this ball club for next season. That's gonna make

133
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: it fascinating in the offseason. Listen, anytime we talked about

134
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: this last night on Colts Round Table Live. Anytime you

135
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: go four ten and one and you're gonna miss the playoffs,

136
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: that's a certainty. You're gonna finish under five hundred, that's

137
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: a certainty. You're gonna pick in the top ten. As

138
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: you said, that's a certainty. When all of those things happen,

139
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a high rate of turnover. Do the

140
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: average rate of turnover year to year, even in good teams,

141
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: even in good franchises that are on solid footing that

142
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: have you know, franchise quarterbacks and things of that nature.

143
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: You see twenty five to thirty percent of roster turnover

144
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: year to year. Now with all of that going on

145
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: here with the Colts, negative wise, you're gonna see it

146
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: somewhere in the in the forties, maybe the fifty percent,

147
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have a big time draft coming up.

148
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: And that's just the reality of the situation. Can I

149
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: throw a name or two AA guys like Stefan Gilmour Okay,

150
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: I know he's here for a couple but like the

151
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,119
Speaker 1: veteran Zaire Franklin, haven't an incredible year, Grover Stewart, stuff

152
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: like that, that nucleus and can we grow defensively off

153
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 1: that because all eyes are on fifty three and seeing

154
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: when that part of it on the field. I mean,

155
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: he played what seventy four snaps this year? Jonathan Taylor

156
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: played banged up for a lot of this season. He's

157
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: on ir Yeah, you just didn't play with a full

158
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: deck this year. And listen, there's no excuses because everybody's

159
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: banged up. Everybody has star players that have missed time

160
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's the nature of the business. But

161
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: there's no question that we will talk about it. This

162
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: is such a fallout from think about this time last year. Yeah,

163
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: think about Christmas time twenty twenty one, the culture coming

164
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: on maybe the biggest win of the year in terms

165
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: of circumstances. Seem like every big player on that roster

166
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: it's been happening in the speed comes up with nine tackles.

167
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a hell of a football player, but

168
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, you certainly love to have the takeaway machine

169
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: that is Darius Leonard at the time, who didn't play

170
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: in that game. You're on such a high, You've got

171
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: two games left, you got a ninety eight percent chance

172
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs. About this? How about this? Let

173
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: me ask we all know what happened. We talked about

174
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: this when we're sitting around eating muffins over the holiday. Okay, listen,

175
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: if fifty three, if fifty three is in the lineup,

176
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: If fifty three is in the lineup, do we lose Dallas?

177
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: If fifty three is in the lineup, do we lose Minnesota.

178
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about one man, and I know that's a

179
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: big Yeah. I don't talking about one man. If he's

180
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Do we lose those two games that

181
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: had historical debacles about both of them, I don't know.

182
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: It's it's so hard to say because you know, if

183
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you go to Minnesota, it was big play after big

184
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: play after big play in the passing game, and I

185
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: don't know, you know where a shack Leonard would factor

186
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: into that. What we do know search out here and there.

187
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: You know I'm getting that. That we do know for

188
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: certain is that just the takeaway numbers across the board

189
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: are down big time because of one player. I mean,

190
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: last year it was a it was a good defense,

191
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: it was an okay defense, but it's saving grace was

192
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard in his takeaways. I mean he had what

193
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: fifth he was a part of fifteen takeaway plays last year.

194
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: The Colts had thirty three as a team, and like

195
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: I said, at least half of those plays Leonard was

196
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: involved in them. And so you know, he's a great

197
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: football player and and he's just elite because of his

198
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: ability in his knack to just go after the ball

199
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: and take it away. Um, you haven't had that this year,

200
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: and we'll get into it. The defense has been it's

201
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: been hoods, but you certainly wouldn't put it into the

202
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: elite category or the good enough to overcome the struggles

203
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: within this offense. Yeah, I don't know how to answer

204
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: that in terms of how many more wins the Colts

205
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: would have this year with you know, a healthy Jonathan Taylor,

206
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: a healthy Shack Leonard. All we know is that the

207
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: reality is four ten and one. You're under five hundred

208
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: and on the disappointment meter. This one's right up right

209
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: up there. That's Matt Taylor, Voice of the Colts. This

210
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: is the Colts Official podcast, brought to you by our

211

213
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: let's go three and out, matey, another offensive failure. And

214
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, to his credit, Nick Foles hadn't taken a

215
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: lot of snaps with the first team offense since basically

216
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: training camp up in Westfield, and then they put him

217
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: in there in a week and Jeff Saturday comes out

218
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: and says, I think he gives us the best chance

219
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: to win. We get that, We understand that, but boy

220
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: oh boy, it was just tough sledding against that defense

221
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: that came up big, and you know, they allowed quite

222
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: a few secks. We had a few of our own,

223
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: but I'm saying full through three intercept took seven sacks

224
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: and a couple of them late in the game that

225
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: really did them in. Completed just seventeen to twenty nine passes,

226
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: had one hundred and forty three total yards over the air,

227
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: and it marked the fourth time this season the Colts

228
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: scored failed rather to score an offensive touchdown and also

229
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: this again maintain and hit on this another offensive failure

230
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: if you could, failed to convert again a single third

231
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: down they were over ten year in New England. Brings

232
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: me back to another over day. Yeah, no, I mean

233
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the third time in franchise history

234
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: the Colts have failed to score or failed to convert

235
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: a third down twice in this season. Good man. Yeah,

236
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: so obviously, you know the Cults are gonna stick with

237
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. As we said, they're trying to find a

238
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: spark anything inside their offense at their disposal, and they

239
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: were obviously hoping to get some chunk plays, but that

240
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: just didn't happen. I mean, the longest completion of the

241
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: game was only nineteen yards, and as you said, Nick

242
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Foles was throwing the ball into a lot of places

243
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: where he shouldn't have been just trying to push the

244
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: ball down the field. And I honestly felt like the

245
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: running game in the first half was working pretty well,

246
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: but the Colts were sort of steadfast. Moss and Jackson. Yeah,

247
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: they were running really, really hard, and it was against

248
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: a Charger team that's not very good at stopping the run.

249
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: And like you said, Zach Moss was running really really hard.

250
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: But once you got down thirteen to three, you know,

251
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: you pretty much have to throw the football at that

252
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: point to get back into the game. And that's when

253
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: it really got ugly in terms of the sacks. And Yeah,

254
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: the Colts have now scored one touchdown or less than

255
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: eight games under twenty points on the season in nine games.

256
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: They're one of the worst red zone offenses in the NFL.

257
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: That's its situational football red zone and third down. Colts

258
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: are statistically towards the bottom of the barrel third down

259
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: in red zone. This is just, there's no other way

260
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: to say it. It's been a very disappointing season on offense.

261
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Three quarterbacks, fifty six sacks, leading the NFL on turnovers

262
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: and interceptions. Yeah, the Colts right now, have the fifth

263
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and they got four months to

264
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: figure this out. Whip. But to the other side of

265
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: the ball in here in three and L defense plays well,

266
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: not well enough, not enough stops. The defense has been

267
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: keeping us and it's Gus Bradley's you know, unit has

268
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: been fine. They limited Herbert to just five offensive yards

269
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: per play, which is good against that offense which likes

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: of Eckler and Keenan Allen in that lineup. Monday, mark

271
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: the eighth time this season. Again, mark the eighth time

272
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: this season the Colts allowed twenty points or less. Twenty

273
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: points or less, and Matt it's a winning number two,

274
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Yes it is. They are just three to four in

275
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: one in those games. And that's what not not what

276
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: adding up. Because we've looked for bright spots. We have

277
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: didn't find it on the offensive side other than some

278
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: big splash plays earlier and Jonathan Taylor, Paris Campbell among others,

279
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. But the defense has been there for us,

280
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: just not more often than not. More often than not. Yes,

281
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: put these guys in positions that it was just like, guys,

282
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: you're playing your tail off, but we need more. Just

283
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get it done. And that's the thing. When you're

284
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: down thirteen to three or twenty to three, it's a

285
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: it's a ten point lead or a seventeen point lead. Unfortunately,

286
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: with this offense, it feels way more than that in

287
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: terms of the margin. And they're running out of gas

288
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: here late in the games. I mean clutch drives allowed.

289
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, you remember that Commander's game, the game winning

290
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: drive allowed to Philadelphia. It happened all over the place

291
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with the big plays. We remember the barrage

292
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: in Dallas. You know, the Chargers just run it down

293
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: the Colt's throat there in the fourth quarter to seal it.

294
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: On Monday Night, the twelve play drive eighty eight yard.

295
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: With that offense not doing this defense any favors, it

296
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: adds up to four ten and one losers of Ada

297
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: and Don New faces coming, new head coach coming, could

298
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: be the guys on the interim basis going to be

299
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: a new quarterback next year, new players all over the place. Mate,

300
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: we're looking at three and out right now. And I

301
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: go back to this before we bring in JJ Stankovitz

302
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: and Lara Overton. I guess the mood. I don't know

303
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: what sort of word. I'm looking for, the mood, the ara,

304
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: whatever's the cloud that's hanging over started last season, started

305
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: last season. In my opinion, we've talked about the Raiders

306
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: and Jaguars. Raiders and Jaguars and that fall. All you

307
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: needed was one and you're in and you know that

308
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: you have a chip a chair. Anything goes, you can

309
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, even if you're sneaking in as

310
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: a last wild card like we were looking to do,

311
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: lost to Vegas, lost to Jackson Build, no playoffs, unbelievable.

312
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Owner Jim Merseys talked about that and how how just

313
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, a gut punch that is we're talking about

314
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: gut punches of being just get one and one of

315
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: those games at home, no less. But it didn't happen.

316
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: But maybe Tay, that's when everything changed. And you know,

317
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: we're four ten and one in twenty twenty two. That's

318
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: four victories in their last seventeen games, which is a

319
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: full regular season. That's over that span, you know, and

320
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: so you had the ninety eight percent chance of making

321
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and as you just chronicled, we know what

322
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: happened after that. Then you've got this really positive offseason right,

323
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: You've got some momentum in the in the offseason months

324
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: and Gockway trade Gilmore comes in. You got a really

325
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: good draft, Matt Ryan in the trade there looked like

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: a great move on paper, and then you're basically four

327
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: twelve and one and your last seventeen games. And like

328
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I said, this certainly ranks up there in terms of

329
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: most disappointing seasons that I've been a part of. You know,

330
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: Taylor's played banged up, Matt Ryan has turned it over

331
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: way more than we thought, didn't play well behind this

332
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. Offensive line didn't play up to their standards.

333
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: You basically play the entire season without Leonard offensive coordinator's

334
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: gun Frank Reich, the head coach, the play caller, he's gone.

335
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody saw this coming. And the worst part

336
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of it all is the division is so winnable. Oh,

337
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is gonna win this thing. The Titans are on

338
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: a tailspin. They fired their GM's. It's just sort of

339
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: been a demise since the middle part of November for

340
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: that organization. And here are the Jaguars just not turning

341
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: the football over, not killing themselves, just kind of tread

342
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: and water. They're probably gonna win this division, right, Those

343
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: two teams are gonna play each other in a couple

344
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: of weeks, and I fully expect the Jaguars to win.

345
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: That's just the shame of it all is that this

346
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: is such a winnable division and there's really no elite

347
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: good teams in this division and Colts are still so

348
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: far back in the rearview mirror, in fact, mathematically eliminated.

349
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: That's it, all right, that's three and out. Matt Taylor,

350
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Voice of the Colts. Time. Now, we're gonna do a

351
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: little TakeBack season. It's the gift giving season, that is,

352
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes you gotta take back some gifts. Matte, I

353
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: like what we're talking about here. So now we bring

354
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: in JJ Steak if it's from Colts dot com and

355
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Lara Overton, the face of the Colts as well as

356
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Colts dot Com. Guys, we're gonna talk about this TakeBack season.

357
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Not sweaters, not socks, but football situations. You ready, I'm

00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: gift giver. Okay, commend him. But I'll say between the holidays,

364
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: in a Monday night football game, I have like the

365
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: most extended how they hangover of all time, Like I

366
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,880

00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: it's my schedule is all off. I juiced on the hooch. No, no,

Speaker 1: candy canes, and you know, like you're everything's off right.

372
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: And then you have a late night Monday with the

00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: game and then it took me until two thirty to

374

Speaker 1: fall asleep. But then you come in you do a

375
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: regular Tuesday that's actually a Monday. Kind of feels like

00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: but it's Tuesday and it's a short week because you

409
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: your dog? Because tugboats a huge part of your family.

410
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: Do you give him a side of beef? I mean

411
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: he is a thoroughbread for God's sake, thorough bred he was,

412
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: and he was thoroughly spoiled because we took him with

413
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: us down to my parents so good. You know, my

414
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: sisters and my parents in the car. If you don't

415
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: know already, this is a large animal that is one

416
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds north of one fifty. So yeah,

417
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: he says, you strap him on the hood, do you?

418
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: He pulls? He pulls the car. He's like Rudolph. You know,

419
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: he's right out front. It's like a sled. Now he

420
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: goes all the way in the very back of the suv.

421
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: But we also got him. Our neighbors are incredible and

422
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: they always just spoiled him, and they brought over the

423
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: cutest cookie that's like personalized with his name on it

424
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: from Three Dog Bakery. If you guys haven't been to

425
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: Three Dog Bakery actually popped in on Christmas Eve and

426
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: it was there were so many people in there getting

427
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: treats for their pets, which was really fun to But yeah,

428
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: it's a little spot. We love Tugboat. We're sending out

429
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: joy to everybody this holiday season and it is TakeBack season, JJ.

430
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm starting with you take back number one. The Cults

431
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: are sticking with Nick Foles at quarterback for the final

432
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: two games of the season. According to our interim head

433
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: coach Jeff Saturday, he's a third different quarterback to start

434
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: a game this season. Do you think and watch what

435
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: you say here? JJ? Would the Colts like to take

436
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: back how they handled the quarterback situation this year? I

437
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: mean it's easy to the easy and lazy. The answer

438
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: would be like yeah, because it hasn't worked out. But

439
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: think back to March when the Colts made the decision

440
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: we are moving on from Carson Wentz and now we

441
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: have to go find a new quarterback. There weren't a

442
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: lot of other options out there for the Colts to

443
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: say yes, this would be that this would have changed

444
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: the course of our season if we had gone and

445
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: signed this guy or traded for this guy among the

446
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: guys who were available. And think back to March when

447
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the Colts made that trade for Matt Ryan, universal applause

448
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: around the league, saying, Wow, can't believe the Colts are

449
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: able to do this. It is not worked out the

450
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: way that anyone thought for a lot of reasons that

451
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: aren't just on the quarterback position within this offense. So

452
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, you could say, oh yeah, they could

453
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: have done a lot of stuff different, But what that's

454
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: the question I would have What would you have done

455
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: different based on the options that they're out there, Because

456
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: it'd be easy to say, well, you should have you know,

457
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: should have traded up in the draft and gone and

458
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: got a young guy. But okay, you're gonna go get

459
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett, who's been up and down for the steel

460
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, who's out there, That's the thing.

461
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: Who's out there this year? What do you think he

462
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: would the Colts like to take back out they handled

463
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. And I'll go one step further. Should

464
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: you just let it roll and give it to Sam

465
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: Ellinger from the roll, And what I'll say is, I

466
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: don't know that you necessarily take back the quarterback situation.

467
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: I think you take back in general the handling of

468
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: the offense and its entirety for the most part, because

469
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: you think about the situation with Matt Ryan that we

470
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: heard from Frank Reich much earlier in this season when

471
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: he said we didn't hold up our end of the bargain.

472
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: We didn't. We haven't provided Matt the top tier rushing

473
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: attack that we expected that we would have. We haven't

474
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: given him the level of protection from this offensive line

475
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: that he needed and that we assured him that he

476
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: would have to put him in a position to be successful.

477
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Because I think we have seen in those situations you

478
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: think about, there have been games when the production was

479
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: there in the run game and when the protection was

480
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: there from the old line, when Matt Ryan had had success.

481
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: So I think it goes well beyond just the quarterback position. Yes, Jeff,

482
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: I do think I am in favor of giving Sam

483
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: e Linger some more opportunities because I do not think

484
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: a two game sample size is fair to Sam Ellinger

485
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: to say that's enough to base a future decision off

486
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: of moving forward. I think it would be nice to

487
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: see a couple more opportunities for Sam to get out there,

488
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: because he did bring some exciting things and a different

489
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: dynamic to the offense when he's out there. And I

490
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: also think one of the things, aside from the product

491
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: of what he's able to do on the field, Sam

492
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: has leadership qualities and traits, and he commands this locker room.

493
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: And not to say that anyone else doesn't, but I

494
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: do think that the investment that he has made because

495
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: he has been here and he's been around the guys,

496
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: I do think it would provide, It would inject something.

497
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: I think that they that would be interesting to see

498
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: for everyone involved, in particular just to see what Sam

499
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: gives you, because there are going to be a lot

500
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: of difficult decisions and evaluations moving forward on the futures

501
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: of those within this organization as we get into January,

502
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: and I think that Sam it would be interesting to

503
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: explore more of what he's able to bring in a

504
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: game dynamic. Didn't think he was going to come in

505
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: and relief against the Chargers, but now you look at it,

506
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: and you look the way the offense moved the ball

507
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: or didn't move the ball. Rather with Nick Fozer, So

508
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you think, you know the I would it might be

509
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: a little shorter this game. I don't know. I think

510
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: it would have been interesting in some of those late

511
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: down situations to have, yeah, not to have necessarily pulled Nick,

512
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: but just to have very things and brought Sam into

513
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: some situations, to switch things up and to try to

514
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: get you some production in short yardage. We're gonna find

515
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: out it's coming up New York Giants. It's it's the

516
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: New Year's game. And then we're gonna see the ball

517
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: drop the day before and then they're on the road

518
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: against the New York Giants. JJ Stankovitz. We're talking about

519
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: take back season, not socks, not sweaters, not shampoos and conditioners,

520
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: but we're talking about Colts football right now. The Colts

521
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: have allowed fifty six sacks on the year. I'll say

522
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: that again, JJ. With this offensive line, the Colts have

523
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: allowed fifty six sacks on the year, type for fourth

524
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: most in franchise history and six shy of watching the

525
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: franchise record of sixty two in nineteen ninety seven. The

526
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: reason I'm bringing that up is you would not think

527
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: that with this offensive line and what has been invested

528
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: in this offensive line, and by the way, two games

529
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: left six six shy of matching the franchise record that

530
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: might be broken. How can the Colts return to one

531
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: of the best offensive line groups in the NFL next season?

532
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: JJ after I'm sorry, guys, but it's been a disappointing

533
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: year for this whole line. The This is more kind

534
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: of like theoretical, but I think about the twenty twenty

535
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, where they were a disaster of a team.

536
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: I think they went four eleven and one. Kelsey started,

537
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson started, but I think those guys were in

538
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: and out. I think Kelsey might have played the whole year,

539
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: but they had some injuries on their offensive line. It

540
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: went downhill real quick, and then it turned around real

541
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: quick because the talent was still there. They had to

542
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: change it at head coach, and for whatever reason, they've

543
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: now rebounded into being probably the best offensive line in

544
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: the NFL. My point being, I don't believe that this

545
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, the stalwarts of it, have regressed so significantly

546
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: from being one of the best groups in the NFL

547
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years into now being one

548
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: of the worst. Like, I don't think what we're seeing

549
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two is the start of a trend.

550
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: It can be a blip and one that no one

551
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: in that room is going to be happy about, but

552
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: there is still an opportunity for it to improve next

553
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: year based on some things we have seen in the past.

554
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: That could mean different schemes, different ways of going about

555
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: things as an offensive line group, playing more five as

556
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: one because you are seeing in some games some individually

557
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: good performances. Bernard Ryman has had some individually good games

558
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Will Fries I thought,

559
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: played a really good game against the Chargers on Monday

560
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: Night football. We've seen Quitte Nelson of good games. We've

561
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: seen Brandon Smith of good games. We've seen Ryan Kelly

562
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: of good games. But together all five of those guys

563
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: have not always been that kind of five is one

564
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: that offensive lines always talk about. There are opportunities for

565
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: that to get better, whether that's with personnel, whether that's

566
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: with coaching, whether that's with scheme, whatever it may be.

567
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: But I do not think this offensive line is just

568
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, they're done as currently constructed. There still will

569
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: be opportunities for them to improve. Going for last week

570
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: before this game, kicked off. They went from thirty second

571
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: in the league offensive line overall played to eleven in

572
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: the league. And then this thing happened, Lara. And I'm

573
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: bringing it up because they sacked him seven times, seven times.

574
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: And what I'm trying to get that as Jeff Saturday

575
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: came in and made the offensive line a little bit

576
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: better with putting his hands on this unit and stuff

577
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: like this. But still at home Monday, really giving up

578
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: seven sacks, guys, that's not it. I asked Jeff Saturday

579
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: yesterday how many when he went back and he watched

580
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: the film, how many those sacks were on the offensive line,

581
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: and he said they were probably about two two of

582
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: the seven on the offensive line. The other five coverage sacks.

583
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: Have you know or have something else to do with

584
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: why there was the sack on that play, Not because

585
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line got beat, Lara. The three stalwarts and

586
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: the guys that are paid on this line starts at

587
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: seventy eight at the center, fifty six best guard in

588
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: the league according to someone Quenton Nelson, seventy two on

589
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: the other side, Brandon Smith, a lot of money. Are

590
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: we familiar faces? Next year? Is the course, Jill? There

591
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: we build on that or is it something else we're

592
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: looking at. I think one of the things you have

593
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: to look at is this offensive line is playing with

594
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: a third different quarterback in about a month's span. I mean,

595
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: you can only do so much when you're thrust with

596
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: these different situations and you have two veteran quarterbacks that

597
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: lack of mobility. There's some there. That's one of the

598
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: things you have to empathize with in a sense is sure,

599
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: no matter what I mean, those guys have said they're

600
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: not playing to the standard that they expect you. But

601
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: also when you have that much rotation under center, you

602
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: have to understand the degree of difficulty that there is

603
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: going to be. When Nick Foles had not had reps

604
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: with the first team offense since training camp and then

605
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: he gets, you know, practice last week, it's a holiday week,

606
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: all of those different things, I think a couple of

607
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: factors where this group can return to form and expectation

608
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: comes from. Certainly the experience of getting Bernard Ryman and

609
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: Will Fries those reps this year. But I think looking ahead,

610
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: when we're talking about July in August, you got to

611
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: bring in some competition on this offensive line. When you're

612
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: looking ahead to twenty twenty three into this season and

613
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: really have guys to push each other up front, have true,

614
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: true competition at those positions to bring out the best

615
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: in that group. I think you still look to your mainstays,

616
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: look to those stalwarts, as you said, the pillars of

617
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: your offensive line. And I also think that they'll spend

618
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: some time. There's obviously all those meetings that they have

619
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: at the end of the season that they meet with

620
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and look at the things that they

621
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: want to do, and all of those guys hold themselves

622
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: accountable and they will go into the off season with

623
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: their individual goals and having the focus on what they're

624
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: able to do and how they're able to improve moving forward.

625
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: But I do think moving forward, as you look to

626
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, you've got to have some competition there

627
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: along your offensive front. We're talking about TakeBack season right now.

628
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: JJ Stankovitz, Lara Olverton, Matt Taylor, voice of the coach,

629
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: He rejoins us. Right now, I'm gonna go around the

630
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: room right here, do we with our number one pick

631
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: coming up in twenty twenty three draft, whether it's at six,

632
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: at five, we went in the last two, it goes

633
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: to eight whatever it is, or we lose out and

634
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: it goes to one. Do the Colts, and I'm starting

635
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: with you, JJ, do the Colts take a quarterback this draft?

636
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: If the right guy's there. Wait a minute, I'm gonna

637
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: say it again, JJ, Yes or no? In the first

638
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: round of the twenty twenty three draft, are they taking

639
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Yes? Okay, Lara, but that was not a

640
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: super confident Yes. By the way, I understand if there

641
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: guy's not there, hey, maybe you move back, you get

642
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: some surplus behind you and stuff like that. Obviously that's

643
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: an option. But what do you think, Lara, going in

644
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: right now, sitting fifth in this draft order with two

645
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: games to play, is their number one pick next year

646
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback? I do think so. And I think that

647
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: part of the reason that signs point to that are

648
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: because you've tried the other ways. You've tried the other options,

649
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: you have made trades, you have brought in veteran guys,

650
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: you have tried all of these different situations where you know,

651
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: you had Jacobe Brissette, you went out and you got

652
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: Phil River. Phil River, as you rated for Carson Wentz,

653
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: you brought in Matt Ryan and that's where you're sitting

654
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: right now. You've got to find Yeah, that has not

655
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: proved the results that you hoped that it would. You

656
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: have had flashes. I mean when you think back to

657
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: this season, my goodness, the Kansas City win the win

658
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: at home over Jacksonville, when Matt Ryan has played at

659
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: a fantastic level. Going back to last year, you know

660
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: the Christmas game, you know where Carson had that incredible

661
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: play that touchdown to Desmond Patman. I mean, there there

662
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: have been these glimmers of where you've seen promise, but

663
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: it's not been to the consistency that you would expect

664
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: and that this organization needs and that you need to

665
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: build winning football around. And I think that that's that's

666
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: to me one of the indications that it's going to

667
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: go that way this draft. Matt Taylor top ten pick

668
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: coming for the Colts in twenty twenty three draft. Is

669
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: it a quarterback? Yes, there it is. And if you

670
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 1: want to sum up to piggyback off of Lara, if

671
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: you want to, if you want to sum up the

672
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: Colts since twenty nineteen with the Andrew Luck retirement and

673
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: who sentences here it is And I've been saying this

674
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: for a long time. The Colts in that time have

675
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: been just competitive enough to not be in a position

676
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: to draft a high end rookie quarterback right when you're picking,

677
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you're finishing above five hundred and you're

678
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: making the playoffs, are flirting with the playoffs, you're you're

679
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: picking what in the twenties or the late teens, all right,

680
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: So that's one part of it. That's the first sentence.

681
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: The second sentence is they've been just promising enough to

682
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: justify looking for a plugin play veteran quarterback. And that's

683
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: what the Colts have done the last couple of years.

684
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: That's what they did this year with Matt Ryan. I

685
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: don't think you can do that anymore because you're not

686
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback away. You're not a veteran presence quarterback away.

687
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: When you're four ten and one, you've got bigger issues

688
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: than just quarterback. Now, granted quarterback is your biggest issue,

689
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: but you got issues across the board offense, defense, and

690
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: thus you're picking top five right now, but you're not

691
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: going to be in the same situation, you know, predicament

692
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: wise that you have been the last couple of years

693
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: to warrant or justify bringing in a veteran quarterback you need,

694
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: you need a young franchise guy going forward to I

695
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: also think that as you are building a coaching staff

696
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: and you're in this period of transition from a coaching perspective,

697
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: it is much more attractive for a coach to come

698
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: in and know that he's going to have a say

699
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: in bringing in a quarterback and in molding that guy

700
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: and instilling in him and pressing upon him, this is

701
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: how we're going to run our offense. This is how

702
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: we're going to build around and do these different types

703
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: of things, rather than having to absorb or inherit a

704
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: guy whose things you're having to correct or you know,

705
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: build around or you know, kind of overcome some of

706
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: those lacks of you know, production or lack of talent

707
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: that someone might have at that position. What do Josh

708
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: Allen too, At Tagavaloa, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence,

709
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert all have in common. There

710
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: are quarterbacks, every one of them. All seven of those

711
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks teams are right now ready to go to the playoffs,

712
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: and they were all picked in the first round. See

713
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I was you were being a smart ass. I was

714
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: trying to make a point here. I was playing jeopardy

715
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: and they all had one thing. What is quarterback? Quarterback?

716
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into some quarterbacks, Alex, some New Year's resolutions.

717
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: I want to throw this at you guys and just

718
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,239
Speaker 1: be quick with this on this. If they go up

719
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: there and Chris Ballard, the general manager, does not covet

720
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: and I use that word a lot in the offseason.

721
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: I know this is offseason, fidder, but does not covet

722
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: that player that's available. Whether it's one, two, three, four,

723
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: or five through ten, it doesn't matter. Does not covet

724
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: that player to be the quarterback. Are you guys okay

725
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: with saying okay, we're gonna go back. You guys, go

726
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: ahead and take our pick. We're gonna reload with some capital,

727
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: give us a second round, or give us another swap

728
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: out in the first round, something like that. Are we

729
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: okay with that? We have four months to talk about

730
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: all of this. Find my head's spinning, right, He's talking

731
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: about finding a quarterback in the second round. My cash was,

732
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: do we draft a quarterback in the first round of

733
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: this one? And I know, Matt, you're so right, we

734
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: got games to worry about before then. But I'm just

735
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: saying that's also an option right there, and then Colts

736
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Nation will be like, what are we going when you're

737
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: in a court? But I'm just so, if the guy's

738
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: not covid in and he's not going to fit in

739
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: the NFL and this scheme, then they're not going to

740
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: grab him. One thing I'll say is that going into this,

741
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: but going into this offseason, as you have a lot

742
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: of new faces that will be coming in to lead

743
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: the organization, I think that the future is going to

744
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: be built on hope. And you've got to give this

745
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: for this fan base, hope that there is young promise

746
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: and young talent within the offense moving forward. Having said that, though,

747
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree, but you look at some of

748
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: the new regimes that have come in around the league.

749
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: In Atlanta, you know that that coach and GM Combo

750
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: has been there for two years now. They did not

751
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback in the first round either of those years. Detroit,

752
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: that new coach and GM Combo has been together for

753
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: now going on two years, through two drafts, they have

754
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: not drafted a quarterback in the first round. Yeah, but

755
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: they got one right, they got one into trade, but

756
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was a cast off from Los Angeles. It

757
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: wasn't like they were like, this is our guy. It's like, yeah,

758
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: we'll take him because we're getting a couple of first

759
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford. My point is it doesn't always have

760
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: to go this way. It's not always a straight line

761
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: path to immediately getting a quarterback. Sometimes you say, we

762
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: don't want any of these guys, but we have a

763
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame grade on this guy at another position.

764
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: We should probably take him over a quarterback who we're

765
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: not convinced on. And that's what it would take though, right,

766
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: is to be so solidified grade wise on a player

767
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: from another position, and that if you're gonna pick in

768
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the top ten and bypass a quarterback, it's got to

769
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: be in my opinion, and I know we have four

770
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: months to talk about this, but it's got to be

771
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: the best player at a premium position and edge rusher

772
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: and a lead talent wide receiver, you know, a left tackle.

773
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: And I know you're building there with Bernard Ryman, so

774
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: we're getting way ahead of ourselves right now. But if

775
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that and bypass a quarterback, with the

776
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: top ten pick. When you have so many issues on

777
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: an under five hundred team that's missed the playoffs six

778
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: times in eight years, it's got to be a bonafide

779
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: superstar and a guy that's going to contribute right away

780
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: in his rookie season at a premium position. Absolutely, this

781
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: is the final podcast before the new year rings in

782
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,959
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Right around the corner, Larry, I'm gonna

783
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fart. Sorry about that. It's an SBD over there.

784
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm a boy. Sorry, don't cut it. I'm gonna start. Rather,

785
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fart. I'm gonna start with your favorite

786
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: cults memory of twenty twenty two. Let's let's you're calling

787
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: an audible. I know. Here's the thing. It's the last

788
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: of the year. I know we got two games left.

789
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: This is a great football team in New York Giants

790
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: by Jones. I'm gonna get it. I get it. But

791
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: let's go back just for these previous games. Your favorite

792
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: cults memory. I think one of them. There are a few,

793
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: they're a handful. I first one that comes to mind, though,

794
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: was Stefan Gilmore at Denver breaking up that pass in

795
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: the end zone by Russell Wilson to win it. I

796
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: thought that to me, that was just one of those

797
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: this is the guy you expected to get and this

798
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: was Stefan's moment of kind of defying all of the

799
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: people's passed his prime doing this. Just to me, it

800
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: just gave I mean, it was that Thursday night game

801
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: you win in the weekend so high. I think it's

802
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: solidified this defense in a number of ways, and I

803
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: just I think that was one of them for me

804
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: that that was one of those great moments because it happened.

805
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm down there on the field, it was

806
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: so exciting. It was so much fun. Interviewing stuff on

807
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: after that moment was just just incredible. Gilanni woods the

808
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: touchdown to win the game against the Chiefs. Gilanni's gonna

809
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: be a good player for this organization for a long time.

810
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: And for me, that was so cool because I'd done

811
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: a story a couple of weeks ago about some of

812
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: the Colts Atlanta area natives and how they grew up

813
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: idolizing Matt Ryan, and it was so cool to see

814
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: Gilanni catch a game winning touchdown from a guy he

815
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: pretended to be while like running around in the playground

816
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: as a kid like that was so cool knowing that

817
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: kind of backstory of that moment. Obviously, beating the Chiefs,

818
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: that's the win of the season right now for the Colts,

819
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a one that's going to keep

820
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City out of the number one spot in the

821
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: AFC ironically enough, but yeah, I'll take that one. Matt

822
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: Taylor one of the best in the league at what

823
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: he does that is play by play. You've seen them all.

824
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: What was your favorite memory so far? And I know

825
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: we got two to play. Yeah, I think it was

826
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: probably the Jacksonville game, the game winning catch for Alec Pierce.

827
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: Game wise, that's up there, and that was probably the

828
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: best that we saw Matt Ryan play this year. And

829
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: then I think from a you know, this is purely romantic, right,

830
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: this is romantic. It's to go back to what Lara

831
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: was saying. You know, you're trying to build off of

832
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: hope and hope it's what we had before the season started. Unfortunately,

833
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: training camp, it was the night practice, like the third

834
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: or fourth training camp practice. It was twilight there at

835
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: Grand Park, late August. You know, the sun was going

836
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: down and and Matt Ryan and Jonathan Taylor addressed the crowd.

837
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: It was like seven thousand strong at Graham Park. Just

838
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: a really cool moment. And back then, you know, you

839
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: were trying to count up how many wins the Colts

840
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: were gonna get this year. Is gonna be nine, It's

841
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna be ten, is gonna be eleven? You know, aren't

842
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: they gonna win the division for the first time since

843
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. So then was all about hope and optimism

844
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: and a fresh outlook. It was a good time to

845
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: be a Colts fan. And unfortunately, you know, as soon

846
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: as the regular season started, the roller coaster started, and

847
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: it's just been a lot of peaks in Valley since. Okay,

848
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: one of my best memories, I'll be quick. It was

849
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: about two or three home games ago and some guy

850
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: cut all three punts at halftime and one a thousand punds.

851
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: I forget his name, but that was my best memory

852
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: of this season. Let's go over some resolutions. JJ, I'm

853
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: gonna start with you. What resolutions do these Colts need

854
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: to have in twenty twenty three, which is right around

855
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: the corner. I think a very focused and identified offensive

856
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: structure and identity where when you go into games. You

857
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: need to know these are our core plays, These are

858
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: our core concepts, and we can make them work. I

859
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: think the Colts had that this year, but those plays

860
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: and those concepts did not wind up working out. The

861
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: Cults were not able to execute them. They got beat

862
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: on them too many times. Whatever this staff looks like

863
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: next year, which we don't know, there is gonna be

864
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: a full interview process. Whoever the head coach is going

865
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: to be is going to have a full offensive coaching staff.

866
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: What does it look like? What what ideas are we

867
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: taking from around the league to bring onto our coaching staff.

868
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: Because there's talent on this offense. You still have Jonathan Taylor,

869
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: you still have Michael Pittman Jr. Like I was talking about,

870
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: I have not given up hope on this offensive line.

871
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: You know Alec Pierce is a good player back. Yeah, right,

872
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: Drew Ogletree coming back, You're gonna have some talent to

873
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: work with. What are your concepts? What sort of ideas again,

874
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: are you going to take scheme wise and instill into

875
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: this offense next year? Because it's going to look very

876
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: different from what we've become accustomed to over the last

877
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: couple of years. Hello, give me a resolution discipline there

878
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: it is. Over the course of this regular season, we

879
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: have just seen across the board this team be far

880
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: too undisciplined, and that's why in many situations it's been

881
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: more so the Cults beating the Colts than any opposition

882
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: that has beaten them in a number of different situations.

883
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: And in talking to a few of the veteran guys

884
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: who have been around the league for a while or

885
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: have been in other stops prior to coming here, I

886
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things, as they say, you know,

887
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: throughout the week, you got to be diligent, you've got

888
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: to be a professional. You've got to come in with

889
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: a focused approach each and every day. And I think

890
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: that that is one of the things that needs to

891
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: be instilled moving forward, just a more disciplined team or

892
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: discipline demeanor. All arrived, heard it? Hello, Matt Taylor, what

893
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: do you think New Year's resolution for these goals? I

894
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: want to double down on the quarterback and extrapolate on

895
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: that a little bit. You got to find a quarterback,

896
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: but you need to find an athletic, mobile quarterbacks somehow,

897
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: some way, either a trade, a draft pick, whatever. It's

898
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: pretty clear in today's modern NFL, you need athleticism, pocket escapability,

899
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, shuck and jive and get rid of defenders

900
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: on you somehow, some way in the next couple of months,

901
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: target and athletic playmaking, dynamic mobile quarterback. The Colts have

902
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: given up fifty six sacks. Obviously not all of that's

903
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, the wide receivers, but you gotta

904
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: fix everything on offense, as JJ said, including scheme at times.

905
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: But the biggest resolution mobile quarterback that can stress the

906
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: defense in different ways, and you got to bring him in.

907
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: Whether that's a draft pick, a trade whatever. It might

908
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: be a guy that's already in the NFL, but you

909
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: got to target a guy in here that's gonna give

910
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: you some dynamic playmaking ability for next season. I totally

911
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: agree with that, and I think it doesn't always have

912
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: to look like, you know, Lamar Jackson coming in. It

913
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: can look like Justin Herbert, justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes is

914
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: not a you know, scrambling first quarterback, but when he

915
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: needs to get outside the pocket, you can do it. Herbert.

916
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: Same thing when he gets outside the pocket and he

917
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: can one of those throws on cork down the field,

918
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: fifty yards. He can do it. Burrows, same thing. These guys,

919
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, Trevor Lawrence, all these guys in the AFC

920
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: who are going to go to the playoffs are athletic quarterbacks.

921
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they are running quarterbacks, but they're athletic.

922
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: And I absolutely agree with Matt that's a trait you

923
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: got to identify. My quick resolution is that they have smoothness,

924
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: no speed bumps. They have clarity for finding the head

925
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: coach this football team. And whether it's Jeff Saturday or

926
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: somebody brought in from the outside. We saw what happened

927
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: last time they hired a head coach. McDaniels did his dance,

928
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: he was out. They called up Frank Reich. He was

929
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: the guy. Frank Reich was the perfect man at the

930
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: right time. And he is an offensive genius, don't get

931
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: me wrong, And I'm sorry about that, Lara, and I

932
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: think he's going to be um, you know, coaching again

933
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: in this league. But I wish the best to Er say,

934
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: I wish the best to Ballard, that they find this guy,

935
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: whether it is Saturday or somebody else, that he's the guy.

936
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: They covered him. They say, we've got the right guy.

937
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: That's my resolution. All right now, time for JJ sake

938
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: of it's his random thought of the week. Mattay, I

939
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: thought this was your bag for a while. It's been

940
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: a minute since I've been on this podcast. Yeah a

941
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: little bit a minute or a month and a half

942
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: either one. Um, but yeah, no, we got and I

943
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: almost broke by just cracked the screen. Sorry, welcome back, Gorman,

944
00:43:53,520 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: breaking craft accidentally go ahead day. So, uh, around the

945
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: country there has been your bag. There have been uh

946
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: several thousand flights canceled over the last southwest Southwest. I

947
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: was gonna you know, you just went for it. I

948
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: was gonna say, there is a directional airline that has

949
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: been at the forefront of this. If you had to

950
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: pick the best airport to get stranded in for twenty

951
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: four hours in this country, what is it? Wow, We've

952
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: all been to a lot of airports over the course

953
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: of our lives. Because also Indianapolis, this is something I

954
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: would be private or did they have to you are

955
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: flying commercial with the rest of us shlubs here, he

956
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: got out of here. Get out of here, Gorman. You're

957
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: out on this one. You're a Greenwood hanger. Yeah, you're

958
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: out because you're not. You're not the lo Guardian Labo

959
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: wonderful signature. So my million at can I tell you?

960
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: Can I tell you the worst one or the one

961
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: I would least like to be? So I actually have

962
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: been str ended overnight in Atlanta. Oh yeah, I slept overnight.

963
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: I slept overnight on a and I used a pack

964
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: of diapers for a one year old as a pillow. Really, yeah,

965
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: you got stranded with a one year old overnight. I

966
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: got stranded with a one year old overnight and my

967
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: wife and I had to take turns. We had to

968
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: take shifts in sleeping because you obviously can't both sleep

969
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: with a baby. Whatever that is, the the crate or whatever?

970
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Not a not a the crate child? Not no, what

971
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: a pack and play? What am I thinking? The car

972
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: seat seat that you actually take in and out? We

973
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: had that, and thank god we did because she actually

974
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: sleeps in that or did sleep in that at the time. Um,

975
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, we we probably slept for two and a

976
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: half hours each in a period of I don't know,

977
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: forty hours. It sucked bad. Okay you're saying where you

978
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: would be, ye complain with the best airport. I would

979
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: say to be stranded in Tampaka. Tampa's a really good one.

980
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: They have a lot of amenities. It's pretty good shopping.

981
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: They have a lot of good I mean, you don't

982
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: have to ask how I knows, but quite a few

983
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: good bars and a few spots where you could grab

984
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: some beverages just to you know, seven am bloody, soothe

985
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: your soul to stay. But they have I'm not above it.

986
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: They've revamped and um, you know, kind of updated a

987
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: number of different areas. But it is, it is very nice.

988
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: I've gone in and out of that airport on a

989
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: number of different occasions, and that's it's a pretty good one.

990
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a pretty good one if you're stranded.

991
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call Nashville my favorite because it's not big,

992
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: it's not just close to everything's there so you can

993
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: get there there. And my all time worst is, without

994
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 1: a doubt, for the fifteenth year in a row, Miami Airport.

995
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: Get out of here. It's an armpit. Can't stand Miami

996
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: is I'm sorry, I love your city, don't like the airport.

997
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: All right? That's the New Year's resolutions. JJ's random hold

998
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: on really quickly, give me some on the Miami airport.

999
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: So last year when we flew down for the game

1000
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: at Miami, we flew commercial as a radio broadcast crew.

1001
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: So Maintain myself and our engineers and Rick Van Jerry

Speaker 1: and uh we go to rent our car and it

1003
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: is a haul walking from the terminal to get out,

1004
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: like there, you have to walk all across the place,

1005
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: Like I thought we were gonna wind up in the

1006
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: keys at the end of the at the end of

1007
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: the day. But I'm at the reddal car counter because

00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: I told you at the time. I said, hello, you

1015
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: could do a lot worse, all right. So the sweet

1016
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: man at the budget just automatically thought, maybe I know

1017
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor's an acquired taste. But let me tell you

1018

1021
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,120

1022
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,879

00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: in and out of Oh the other airport that's really good.

1032
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco's airport. They have meditation and yoga rooms and airport.

1033
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: We got delayed there coming back earlier this year, and yeah,

1034
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,359

1035
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: peloton yoga and peloton meditation. There is nothing that will

1036
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: take the stress away of travel more than just having

1037
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: a little isolated quiet room for a little yoga. I'm

1038
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: gonna take something I haven't done in a while, but

1039

00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: Oh like give me a fifteen minutes shot on the neck.

1042
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: Really yeah, those work. Those words. I've always wondered how

1043
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: effective those are. You just have to tell them what

1044
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: you want. You're saying, no, you're not hurting me. Go

00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: I never know if those works. I'm telling you. You

1050
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 1: sit in a chair massage where they have actual hands

1051
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: by you. You buy a ten minute block or twenty

1052
