1
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: Hello Colts fans, and welcome into this week's episode of

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: the Two Minute Drill podcast on Indianapolis Colts Podcasts. As always,

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm a Manifester, joined once again this week by Casey

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: Valier and Casey. First of all, we're now in week ten,

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: which feels crazy to say that we're already in week ten. Secondly,

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the Colts are about to play a game in Berlin, Germany.

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: You and I are still in Indianapolis, but yes.

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: We're still here.

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: We're still We're still here. Pretty much everybody else is gone, right,

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: so there.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: The building is a little a little quiet today.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Friday morning, nobody's in here, but we are

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: here and we have a couple other big things to

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: talk about. First of all, got to start off with

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the injury report roster moves that we just heard about

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: a little bit ago. Took some time to come in

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: from you know, across the pond, Shane Stake and talking

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: to everybody. But the biggest news, arguably of the biggest

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: news of the day. Arguably, I would say the biggest,

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: possibly the biggest news out of this week, although there's

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: been some big news this week, is that DeForest Buckner

22
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: has been placed on injured reserve with a neck injury

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: that he sustained at some point during the Steelers game.

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Is what we're hearing. There's a period of time where

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: he went to the medical right and then came back.

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: And we all know how tough DeForest Buckner is. We

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: know that he can play through a lot, We've seen that,

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: but for them to place him on injured reserve ahead

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: of a bye week, he'll still miss at least four games,

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: which means the earliest he could come back his week fifteen. Yes,

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: you got to think that this is a more serious injury,

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: and obviously neck head everything with that, you got to

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: be really careful with it. But I mean this is

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: a really really big blow to the Colts defensive line.

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean it's there's a lot to kind of

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: uncover with this. Because you talk about the severity of

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: a neck injury. You don't want to go to the world,

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: but neck injuries are very, very scary, and at times,

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes those are the kinds of injuries where

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: some players decide, hey, you know this is you know,

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: when you talk about the neck and the back and

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: the head some of that stuff, it determines every bit

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: of your functionality as a person, So it'll be very anxious.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see kind of where he is

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: on this neck injury if we can get a little

46
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: bit more information about it. Like you said, I mean,

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: this kind of happened in Berlin, even though DFO is

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: still here, he didn't make the trip. Yeah, he was

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: ruled out. Yeah, ruled out before they left, and then

50
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: the news breaks on Friday, So you know, the two

51
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: of us weren't able to get all of the information

52
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: about this injury. I'm sure it's something that we will

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: learn a little bit more. The other wrinkle in that

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: is that next week is the bye week, so we

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: will hear from Shane Steichen on Monday, and then everybody

56
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: kind of leaves and you have a week, So it

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: might be a little bit more time before we get

58
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: more information on the Buckner injury. But I think you

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: chronicled it pretty well there with how tough this guy is,

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: you know, prior to last year. I know he missed

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: five games last year with a high ankle sprain. It

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: was his first time ever being on injury reserved throughout

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: his career. Prior to last year, he had missed just

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: one game due to injury. He had a COVID test

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: for a positive test for COVID that forced him to

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: miss a game during the twenty twenty season. But DeForest

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: Buckner has been a guy throughout his entire career where

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: he is the most durable of durable, and so for

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: him to miss not only one game but an extended

70
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: amount of time, clearly this is a you know, pretty

71
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: serious injury. Well, you know, like I said, we don't

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: want to speculate on anything on what it means for

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, the rest of this year and all that.

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Once we get more information, we'll be able to relay that.

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: But what it does for this Colts team, it's a

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: big loss because you know, you think about DeForest Buckner,

77
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: the other guy who has been a reliable guy and

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: doesn't miss games is Grover Stewart, and it's that is

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: part of the reason that they are some of the

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: best in the league, not only their play, but just

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: because they're available and you know, you're going to have

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: to have some guys really take some big roles. I

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: think we have seen pretty good stuff throughout the season

84
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: of you know, Neville Gallimore, the free agent that they signed.

85
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: But we've continued to see that growth also from Adatamoa Attabaa,

86
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: who this is going to be another extended role for him,

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: an opportunity to really prove that, you know, he has

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: made those steps to become a more not every down player,

89
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: but more heavily involved player, and this is going to

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: be one of those times where this is your opportunity.

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's all it takes, is, you know, just a

92
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: little bit more of an opportunity, some guys start to shine.

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: So we will see, you know, our first taste of

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: it on Sunday. Guys like Eric Johnson might also have

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: another bit of an elevated role. He's been kind of

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: teetering on, you know, inactive and active on game days,

97
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: whether or not they want to keep up X amount

98
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: of defensive tackles and offensive ends. But I also am

99
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: interested to see if there's any shuffling from the outside guys.

100
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: I know Taekwon Lewis is not going to play. We

101
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: know Samson Eviacom is not going to play. But a

102
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: guy like Taekwon Lewis has had that position flexibility in

103
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: the past, so once he is back, maybe he's a

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: guy that can slide inside J T. Tuimolo aw Maybe

105
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: he has an opportunity to kind of slide a little

106
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: bit inside, so you know, they have options and there

107
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: is a It's one of those areas on the defensive

108
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: line there is a good amount of depth, but when

109
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: it comes to depth, there's not really anybody behind to

110
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: Forest Buckner that can live up to that sort of productivity.

111
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean to Forest Buckner is you know, he's your

112
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: best defensive tackle. He's one of your best pass rushers,

113
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: so he does it from a multiple angles. So it's

114
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: going to be really interesting to see what this defense

115
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: does now the addition of Sauce Gardner. Keithy, I'm sorry,

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: I swear I'm not reading your script here, but I

117
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: mean you can elaborate on this too. But that's part

118
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: of it, you know. I think the secondary helps the line.

119
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: The line helps the secondary out. So hopefully you don't

120
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: notice such a big hole in the middle with DFO

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: out because of the addition of Sauce Gardner. Hopefully it

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: helps out on the secondary. Yeah.

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: Worth noting too with Taekwon Lewis and Sampson Ucomm, I

124
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: believe this is for both of them the third concutive

125
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: game they're gonna miss. So hopefully we're we're getting closer

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: to them being back. We don't really know a whole

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: lot about you know, what they're what their injuries look like,

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see. But it is, I mean,

129
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: the the shake up on the defensive line going forward

130
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: is I think at least going to be notable, hopefully

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: in a good way of like you said, you get

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: guys stepping up, but things are definitely going to look

133
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: different for them the next couple of weeks.

134
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: Right, and you the Taekwon Lewis injury has been one

135
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 2: that has you know, been the most confusing I guess

136
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: for me to follow, because it looked like he was

137
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: progressing towards playing last week and then he went from

138
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: you know, a practice at a limited capacity and then

139
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: he went back to it did not practice with that

140
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: groin injury. And I think early on we thought that

141
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: Samson's injury was going to be more you know, they

142
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: labeled it week to week and Taekwon was more day

143
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: to day from Shane Stiken, So yes, them both missing

144
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: three games. I think with with Samson, you had the

145
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: benefit of the bye week coming where it does, so

146
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: you don't necessarily have to go on ir and miss

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: four games, but you can still get a four week window.

148
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 2: So hopefully with Samson that this is kind of a

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: right around that timetable they thought with that mcl the

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: knee that he had, hopefully he can come back after

151
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: the bye. Now with Taekwon, you know, we'll see where

152
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: that groin is once that Chiefs game rolls around here

153
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: after the buye. But yeah, you talk about, you know,

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: the loss of DeForest Buckner and the depth there that

155
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: you're already missing that you have missed now for the

156
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: third straight game. It makes a little bit more of

157
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: a you know, an onus on some of those defensive

158
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: linemen to step up. But you know it's one of

159
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: those things too where we will monitor the you know

160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: where Taekwon is because I think he is probably that

161
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: guy that gives you the most flexibility as far as

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: inside outside that could potentially fill in for DEFO. We

163
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: know we won't play Sunday, but he may be a

164
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: guy that you're looking to in a couple of weeks

165
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: that really kind of steps in to stand aside. You know,

166
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: whether it's Gallamore at a Barroway or Grover. You know,

167
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: maybe he's a guy you can kind of fill in

168
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: those shoes.

169
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well on too good news now talk about Sauce Gardner. Yeah,

170
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: because I mean you said it, and just the impact

171
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: that he's going to have is we can't really quantify

172
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: it yet obviously because he hasn't played a game, but

173
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: the meaning behind it obviously. Colts on Tuesday acquired him

174
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: in a trade with the New York Jets, sent two

175
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: first round picks and wide receiver ad Ni Mitchell. Blockbuster

176
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: trade like across the league. Yes, I think very few

177
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: people outside this building even expected the Colts to do

178
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: something remotely like this, given kind of the history of

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: what this team has done at the trade deadline, and

180
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: also giving up two first round picks for anybody anybody

181
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: front picks and another player, right is I mean it

182
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: says It says a lot about the cults. And the

183
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: first thing I wanted to kind of touch on, what's

184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the message that it has sent to the players that

185
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: are in that locker room that have been here, whether

186
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: it's this season or for the past like eight years,

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: like Kenny Moore, of the message of like they have

188
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: the full support and belief of the front office, the ownership,

189
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: their coaches, their teammates, everybody believes in what this team

190
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: has done to this point to get to seven and two,

191
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: and everybody believes that they can get even better.

192
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: Yep.

193
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: And that's what bringing in Sauce Gardner has kind of

194
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: reinforced with everybody in the locker room.

195
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting you bring that up because the

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: trade happened, and I'll kind of clue into to my

197
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: world if you will. The radio study that we're sitting

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: in doing this. Typically it is Matt Taylor sitting where

199
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: I am, and then I sit kind of where you

200
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: are currently, Amanda. So the trade happens, and you know,

201
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: we're all trying to wrap our minds around, Wow, this

202
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: is this is massive, Like this is interest.

203
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: I was at home sitting on my couch and Pat

204
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: McAfee broke the news to me on the television.

205
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I was like, is this real? Yeah, I mean

206
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: Matt Bowen broke the news to me that Matt Bowen

207
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: came in and was like, Sauce Gardner helped me out.

208
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what do you mean saust Garden. He's like, oh,

209
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: he's here. I'm like, oh, that's massive. But so once

210
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,359
Speaker 2: I wrapped my mind around what he does for the secondary.

211
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: How this makes you a truly formidable I mean, this

212
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: is elite secondary. When you pair him up with Sharvarius Ward,

213
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean those two guys, I mean yes, I mean

214
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: what they can do together is wild. I mean lou

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: Ana Rumo is probably doing backflips.

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: I would be too.

217
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: But the first thing that I thought of after all

218
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: of that was Zire Franklin, Quentin Nelson, Kenny Moore. I

219
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: know we don't get to hear from DeForest Buckner because

220
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: of this injury, but guys like that who have I mean,

221
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: they have given everything to this team, and over the

222
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: last handful of you, it hasn't gone where they want it.

223
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: You've seen some highs, then there's been some lows, and

224
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: you've just been that teetering team trying to reach the postseason.

225
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: You're trying, and then something like this happens where all

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: of a sudden it's different. You feel you believe. You think,

227
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: we're we got a good team going. We're seven and two,

228
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: We we get we're your best team in the in

229
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: the NFL, but there's still the naysayers out there saying this,

230
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: saying that, and then internally you already believe, and then

231
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: this trade happens and all of a sudden, it's like,

232
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: holy blank blank blank, here we go. Let's let's go

233
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: to work. And those are the guys I thought of, like, yes,

234
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be that guy in the locker

235
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: room this week asking Z like hey man, just for you,

236
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: Like I am so happy for.

237
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: You because of them are it's a team thing.

238
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 2: It's a team thing. They're gonna give there, they'll give

239
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: the the right statement and everything. But that's those are

240
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: the people I thought of. These guys who have given

241
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: every single thing they have. They have been through coaching changes,

242
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: they have been through these guys on the defensive side,

243
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: they've been through defensive changes, and this is what it's

244
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: all for. Like the belief that you had already internally,

245
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: but now it is even more pouring in the fact

246
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: like yeah, we believe and we're doubling down on that belief.

247
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: It's time to go win. That is a different feeling.

248
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: We all have a different feeling now as we're talking

249
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: about this on a Friday, when DeForest Bugner gets based

250
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 2: on ir the emotions. Yes, it has been a roller coaster,

251
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: but still at the end of the day, bringing in

252
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: a guy like Sauce Gardner, who is you know, taking

253
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: a line out of Matt Taylor's book, he is a

254
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: premier player at a premium position. That is where you

255
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: look across the league at who are the better teams,

256
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: and you look at those, you know, their top ten

257
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: players on each of those teams, It's like, who has

258
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: the premium players at premium at the premium positions? And

259
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: the Colts just added yet another one where they already

260
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: had Sharvarius Ward and Kenny Moore. You have that trio.

261
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: Holy smokes, I feel really really, really really bad for

262
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: opposing offensive coordinators. And good luck with with Mooney war

263
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: potentially being able to come back in week twelve. No

264
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: better way to kind of kick off that trio because

265
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna see the duo this week, but that trio

266
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: again Kansas City and that'll be fun.

267
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't want to coun out Jalen

268
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Jones by any means. Oh no, he saw him.

269
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 2: He played wonderful last week.

270
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Yes, last week first first getting back off injured reserve

271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: for him, held dk Metcalf to two catches for six years. Yes,

272
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: and that is the Jalen Jones that this team needs.

273
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,359
Speaker 1: Regardless of if you have Sauce Gardner or not, regardless

274
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: of if he's going to be a starter or not,

275
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: because we saw it felt like, you know, hints of it,

276
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: maybe a little more than hints of his potential last year.

277
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: He had some really good performances last year, and it

278
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: felt like that was what he needed to keep building.

279
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm not obviously dealt with some hamstring injuries and preseason

280
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season, but the way that

281
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: he was able to play the Steelers, and specifically against

282
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: a guy like DK Metcalf, I think gives a lot

283
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: of positive reinforcement to this cornerback room. So then to

284
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: have that you're talking about that, you know, Monday, Tuesday morning,

285
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday afternoon, it's like, oh my gosh, now

286
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: we have Sauce Gardener too. You think about the the

287
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: vibe shift in that room. Oh yeah, from like not

288
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: that they were. They're not going to say that they're

289
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: struggling or depleted, because those guys, like it's always been

290
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: next man up right, they always believe in each other,

291
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: and we've seen them all come out and come in,

292
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: come out. I don't know what I'm trying to say,

293
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: come up in big moments. There's the word it's been

294
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: a long week. Okay. See they've all they've all come

295
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: through in these big moments in the last few weeks.

296
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: But it's been guys who haven't had a whole lot

297
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: of experience, who haven't been here for that long. And

298
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: so to now switch shift and like you said, you

299
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: think about the possibilities of having the starters being Sharvarius Ward,

300
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Kennymore and Sauce Gardener, and then having talented guys behind

301
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: them who can, you know, take a couple of snaps

302
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: here and there, give those guys a great because we

303
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: know Kenny had his achilles injury something that you know,

304
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: who knows how that's gonna work out if he needs

305
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: to take a couple reps off during a game. That

306
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: you have these guys that you can turn to who

307
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: have proven themselves. So it's just that room has once

308
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: again become so exciting for the possibilities that it can

309
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: that it can do.

310
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: Well. Just think about it this way. When you look

311
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: at this team in August, and maybe before August, I

312
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: guess because of the draft selection of Justin Wally, You're

313
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: trying you're trying to picture what this defense is going

314
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: to look like. And then, as this Colts team has

315
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: really dealt with throughout the entire season at that position,

316
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: injuries happen. So a guy like Jalen Jones, you get

317
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: him back, you see positive flashes. He he knows full

318
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: well that this game you're literally you're one snap away.

319
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: There's one yea, you know. So having him, a guy

320
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: like Makai Blackman, who has played pretty pretty well since

321
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: he came over from Minnesota, Jonathan Edwards is making massive strides,

322
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: Cameron Mitchell. So you having you're having guys who have

323
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: played meaningful snaps. Now all of a sudden you get

324
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: to take a little bit of a step.

325
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: Back, right, maybe a little pressures off and Lou.

326
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: And Rumo Also, it can utilize you in different ways. Hey,

327
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: I mean they call him the mad Scientists for a reason.

328
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: It feels like we haven't quite seen them.

329
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: That is exactly right. I think a lot of what

330
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: he does defensively is predicated by his secondary and not

331
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: saying that Makai Blackman and Cameron Mitchell and Jonathan Edwards

332
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: and Jalen Jones didn't allow him to have the full commitment.

333
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: But I think it just changed the way you view

334
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: of what your defense can look entirely. Yes, So now

335
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: when you have your full arsenal, if you will now

336
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: adding Sauce Gardner, if you get Mooney Ward back for

337
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: week twelve, you've got everybody at your disposal. So what

338
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: you can do with that, it changes up a whole

339
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: bunch of things. I'm really anxious now to start seeing

340
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: what that's going to look like. We we all thought,

341
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: you know, he's brought in, you're gonna see, you know,

342
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: a lot more nickel and dime than what you had

343
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: in previous times with Gus Bradley and then back to

344
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: Matt Eberflus. But I think now you're really going to

345
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: see all of that. And he's utilized some of those

346
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: safeties to play multiple roles. Now you've got other corners

347
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: that can do that as well. It's going to be

348
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: interesting to kind of see what this defense looks kind

349
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: of after the bye. That's kind of the way I'm

350
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: viewing this now, because you know, if you get Mooney

351
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: Ward back, you can really see what that full arsenal

352
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: will look like. So we'll get a nice taste this

353
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: Sunday because I think Sauce Garner is going to allow you.

354
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: It's almost like you're starting at the beginning of the year, right,

355
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, Sauce Garner kind of fills in for what

356
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: Mooney Ward was. You got Kenny Moore, you got Jalen Jones. Hey,

357
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: that's what you were going to have when Week one went.

358
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't Sauce Garner, it was move So yeah, no,

359
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: that's a good point. All of those things. We're gonna

360
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: see a little bit different play on Sunday than what

361
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: we saw two weeks ago. I thought last Sunday you

362
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: saw a little bit more of man demand pressure that

363
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: we hadn't seen. We'd a little bit more zone the

364
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. So you're gonna really start seeing

365
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: those defensive variations moving forward. And if this offense continues

366
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: to play at the clip that they're playing at, and

367
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: the defense continues to get that shot in the arm,

368
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: watch out this could be a really formidable.

369
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

370
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: I mean both offense, defense, and we know the special

371
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: teams they've been solid all year. So all three phases

372
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: they look like they're all on the upward trajectory for

373
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: the Colts.

374
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Sauce Gardner, obviously, like you said, will make

375
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: his Colts debut, yeah, on Sunday, wearing number one. Wearing

376
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: number one, Josh downs Is number.

377
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: Two didn't seem too upset about it either.

378
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: No, because now he's the same number as yeah klob

379
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: but Ohio State. He said that the number one was

380
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: just the number of the Colts game and when he

381
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: got here, so he was like, nop, he can have it,

382
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: but he could take it. And that's I mean, that's

383
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: a just I mean obviously very briefly, but like that's

384
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: a good sign of kind of how connected this locker

385
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: room is where he's like, I know that means a

386
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: lot to sas sauces Wren number one since he switched

387
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: to it when he was at Cincinnanny teammates with Alec Pearce,

388
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: which also helped Josh be like, yeah, go for it,

389
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: take the number. So I thought that was neat of

390
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: just like obviously being very welcoming. Everybody's very excited to

391
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: have Sauce here. Well, Mike his debut nine to thirty

392

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and yeah, so.

403
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 2: I will probably set my alarm on Sunday morning for

Speaker 2: about four thirty. Yeah, and you know, get get a

405
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: little shower in because I need the water to wake

406
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: me up, and hope there's someplace open for a little

407
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: bit of breakfast and then hey, I'm on and here

408
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: we go. But the fact that this game, you know

409
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: that the benefit of being here and in my duty's

410
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: post game might be over a little sooner than I thought,

411
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 2: and I may be able to watch like the one

412
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: o'clock window of football games.

413
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: I'm aiming for the for the four four five to

414
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: actually just be able to sit I can watch yesday night.

415
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah oh see, see Sunday nights typically my one yeah,

416
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: like I typically sometimes.

417
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I can typically get the second.

418
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: Half, that's yeah, like halftime after halftime a Sunday nights

419
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: when I like sit down and watch. But this weekend

420
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: might be a little bit different, but hopefully we're doing

421
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: it after a Colts win.

422
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and that's the early morning wake up will

423
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: be so worth it to see a sauce gardener and

424
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: the Colts hopefully beat the Atlanta Falcons. It's gonna I'm excited.

425
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be a very exciting game. Lots to

426
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: keep an eye out on. Yes, obviously as always. Also

427
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: the first game, first NFL regular season game in Britain,

428
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: which we haven't talked about like for all, but that

429
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: is very cool in itself, just to kind of spread

430
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: spread the game. And you know, I think this Colts

431
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: team especially has a lot of fun personality, is a

432
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys who are kind of putting themselves out there.

433
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: And obviously, you know, Bernard Ryman has a very close

434
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: connection to Germany, very so he like that whole thing.

435
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: It's just it's a very It's been a very fun

436
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: week for everybody. I think everyone hopefully is having a

437
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: lot of fun over in Germany while we're here.

438
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana, Hey, that's all right, we're having fun here

439
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: in anybody one one small little thing on Bernard Ryman.

440
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, close it, close it out with us.

441
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: I know, that he's Austrian. Yes, so he's from Austria.

442
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, I know that's close to Germany,

443
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: but I didn't when I look at a map, I

444
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: wasn't entirely sure how close it is, but I mean

445
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: it borders Germany, so it's literally right there. When I heard,

446
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, he is right, because like, yeah,

447
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: you're from Austria. We go to Germany. It's not like, hey,

448
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: Europe is pretty darn close.

449
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: Europe is small.

450
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all it's all connected. So he is right

451
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: there on the border. And I heard him talk with

452
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Lair over to and he said he's gonna have about

453
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: twenty five family members probably have never seen him play

454
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: in person, so that it'll be really really cool for Bernie.

455
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: So happy for him.

456
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,280
