Yes, indeed, hello again everyone, 6 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: and welcome to the Last Word. My name is Jeffrey 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: gore Man. I am joined alongside the voice of the Colts, 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. We will get you some pacers and bulls 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: action coming up in a little bit. Looks like Horace Grant, 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: Bill Wennington and bj Armstrong invating downtown Indianapolis to take 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: on these pacers. But Matt Taylor, I'm glad you're here. 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna talk some Colts football and what's 13 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: going on here. We gotta start right out of the gate. Okay, 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: what is going on on the defensive side of the 15 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: football as far as direction goes, and this coaching staff, 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: it is an overhaul going on, Matt. With Matt Eberflus 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: taking the head job at Chicago, He's taking Dave bor Ghanzi, 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: he's a linebacker coach, James Rowe. He's also got Alan 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: Williams a dB coach here, he's now the DC there. 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: We just saw David Overstreet is joining the crew. Hey, 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: the cupboards are bear on the defensive side of the 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: coaching staff right now for the coach, Matt, what say you? 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: It's bear as of right now. But it's obviously not 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: going to stay that way because, as you say, a 25 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: complete you know, overhaul of the defensive coaching staff is 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: coming with a new defensive coordinator and the Colts are 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: not going to promote from within. So it's going to 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: be a new defensive coordinator and the Colts are going 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: to give that guy flexibility and autonomy to hire his 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: own staff guys under him that can coach his system 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: and can get the best out of the Colts defense. So, 32 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, the list of guys that they've interviewed shows 33 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: me there's a wide range of defensive influences that the 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: candidate pool has, and the Colts are not necessarily tied to, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, the Tampa two inspired coaching tree that produced 36 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus. I think the Cults are open to playing 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: a different way on defense because they're trying to complement 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: the strengths of the defense which are stopping the run, 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: taking the ball away, producing turnovers, but at the same 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: time getting better against the pass, which has been, you know, 41 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: the weakness of the defense since twenty eighteen. So if 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: you look at the list, all of these guys are 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: either defensive coordinators or secondary coaches. But there's a lot 44 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: of NFL experience on that roster of candidates. Brian Baker 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: was the first one. He's not retained as defensive line coach. 46 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Matt Rache is still there, but like I said, with 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Matt Eberflew's taken over Chicago, the cupboard is bear as 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: far as defensive coaches go, but they're going to fill 49 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: out that need. First, Matt, you're gonna hire a DC, 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator who's going to fill in the pieces 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: after that. So I want to shoot a few names 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: at you and tell me what you think. Some of 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: them very very familiar names that you've seen around the 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: NFL for a while, and the others not so much. 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: So let's start off with Jim Schwartz, the former Lion 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,279 Speaker 1: coaches down in Tennessee right now as a senior assistant 57 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: defensive whatever they call him down there. He's got a 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: big but Jim Schwartz is being thrown around. And don't 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: forget former Jaguars defensive coordinator Joe Collin. Those are a 60 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: couple of names that have been around a while. Yeah, 61 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: Schwartz is probably the most experience of the group the 62 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Colts have talked to. He's been either a head coach 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: or defensive coordinator fourteen years in the NFL. Colin was 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: just the defensive coordinator with the Jaguars. They're obviously going 65 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: to have a new staff now that Doug Peterson is 66 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the head coach. Colin has also interviewed with the Ravens 67 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: as well this offseason, So all of the guys that 68 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: the Colts have talked to they see the game a 69 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: little bit different. There's some subtle variations in their scheme 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: the way they teach defense. But no matter who gets 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: the job, it'll be about playing to the strengths of 72 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: the defense, which are again stopping the run, producing takeaways, 73 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: but getting better against the pass and all facets. Only 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: thirty three sacks last year by the Colts, developing the 75 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: Colts young pass rush group and then preventing quarterbacks from 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: getting into a rhythm. The Colts have allowed sixty eight 77 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: percent completion percentage since twenty eighteen, that's last in the NFL. 78 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: So marrying the strength with getting better against the pass, 79 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: and I think this defense has a chance to go 80 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: from solid pretty good to elite because the players here 81 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: are ready to go. The key pieces are in place 82 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: with the Forest Buckner, Kenny Moore, Darius Leonard, the back 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: in at safety with Carry Willis and Julian Blackman. The 84 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: key pieces are here. Now it's time to take that 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: next step and need some swagger and need some attitude 86 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: from the defensive coaching staff, and it starts with the 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: defensive coordinat Let's not forget about Jim Schwartz, who we 88 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: talk a lot about today. I don't know if he's 89 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: going to be the next DC or not. I know 90 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: he's on the list. But I like his fire because 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: if we go back five, six, seven, eight years ago, 92 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: him and Jim Harball almost got in a row after 93 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: a football game when the Niners beat schwartz Is Lions, 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: and he didn't like the handshake that hardball game, so 95 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: he went after hardball right on the field. That's the 96 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: kind of fire I like. Man. The team personifies the 97 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: head man, so there's no question that he's get back 98 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: here man, I didn't love the way you shook. No, 99 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna find out more though. We gotta defense coordinator 100 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: coming up, and as Matt just said, they're gonna fill 101 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: in that group as far as assistant coach is going, 102 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: so that searches on. The super Bowl awaits in about 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: a week. Right now, this is the last Word ninety 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: three five, one oh seven five the fan. Now, look, 105 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna talk about that Super 106 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: Bowl and the Senior Bowl that's happening in this weekend. 107 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: We got NFL insider Aaron Wilson from the Pro Football Network. 108 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: He also used to work for the Houston Chronicle, so 109 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: he knows what's going on down there at the AFC 110 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: South rival Texans camp. We're gonna get the opinion on 111 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: the Colts quarterback situation. Aaron Wilson.

Yeah, but I did it out of 124 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: the kindness of my heart. I didn't I didn't charge 125 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: my neighbor.

He 138 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 1: tweeted out this week, Matt, you saw that he's sending 139 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: two pair of Bengals fans to the Super Bowl. He 140 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: said this, I'm not only gonna give him tickets. I'm 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: gonna cover the air fair. I'm gonna cover the hotel room. 142 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: And he selected a winner from more than nine thousand replies, 143 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: choosing an Air Force veteran in certified pharmacy tech Lauren 144 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: Jolly and Shelby Long, who told her story that her 145 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: dad hasn't missed a Bengals game since nineteen eighty seven, 146 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: including the day of her birth her.

I mean, it's such a cool story. 151 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: And he scrounged up a couple more tickets I saw, 152 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: and gave those a way to more Bengals fans. So yeah, 153 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what the final total was, but I mean, 154 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: what a cool thing to do. And did you see 155 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: some of the retweets and the submissions from Bengals fans. 156 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: I know, I know that The two that you just 157 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: mentioned are an incredibly worthy pair, but there was so 158 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: many that was that was a that was a tall order, 159 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: a tough task to choose only a couple of deserving 160 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: parties because I mean just as a fan base, right, 161 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they've been through so much, and then the 162 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: people that are die hard Bengals fans, just like die 163 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: hard Colts fans. There's a lot of deserving people that 164 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: would obviously would make their year, probably make their lifetime 165 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: to go to a Super Bowl in which their team 166 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: is playing in and has a great shot of winning. 167 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: I know it's out of respect for the Brown family 168 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, Mike Brown, the owner, his daughter Katie, who 169 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: runs it right now. Jim's a big fan of both 170 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: of those. He's been talking to him a lot on 171 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: the phone talking about what to expect out of the 172 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl week. Jim's going back over a decade to 173 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: his first time to the Super Bowl. So that's where 174 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: that stems from the love of Brown family and congratulations 175 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: because nobody saw this coming, Matt Taylor. Nobody before the 176 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: start of this season that the Bengals are going to 177 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: be representing in the Super Bowl? Am I correct? I 178 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: didn't see them in the Super Bowl, but I definitely 179 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: saw them being much better than they were last year. 180 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: And that obviously all stems from just the growth and 181 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: the next step that Joe Burrow has taken. Man, that 182 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: guy is cool. Follow me, fellas, I'll make a play 183 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: and don't worry about it. I'll take care of it. 184 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: That's the demainer that he has, and that's that's what 185 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: the culture looking for a quarterback, such a quarterback life. 186 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: One of the great, one of the older ones, goes out, 187 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady, one of the great, one of the 188 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: newer ones, comes in, and Joe Burrow. Hey, we got 189 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a fun discussion on the podcast this week, Matt Taylor, 190 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: we caught up with Stephen Holder from The Athletic.

Okay, let's 194 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: say hi to Aaron Wilson, NFL insider for the Pro 195 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: Football Network, formerly with the Texans. Okay, Aaron, appreciate you 196 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: coming in today. Where are we with the Brian Flores 197 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: situation and the allegations against inequality? And then the NFL, 198 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: the hiring practices. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is in hot 199 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: water allegedly saying he's gonna pay him money to lose games. 200 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: What do you think the NFL is doing as far 201 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: as looking into this. I expect him to have enough 202 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: of an investigation to go through those motions, check those boxes. 203 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: Do I think that there's defenditive proofs? I don't know. 204 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm curious to find out, like the's anything 205 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: like No, I want to see something that you could say, 206 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: well that that could be verified. And but I don't 207 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: think that you know, that's just come out out of nowhere. 208 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: You know, he's making something up. So obviously he's been 209 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: with that impression and he's got a reason to put 210 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: pinto paper and hire a law firm and do all 211 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: those things. And you know, they were involved in the 212 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein stuff, so I mean, they're a law firm 213 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: that's got a track record of being involved in high 214 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: level cases. So you know, obviously with any legal matter, 215 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: ticket seriously, and I'm sure they do due diligence. And 216 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: I just couldn't really predict an outcome of the flora 217 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: Is case. And there's so many layers because it's we're 218 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: talking about the Rooney role, we're talking about sham interviews. 219 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about everything that goes along with 220 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: all these very serious allegations. We're at a really critical 221 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: moment I think in the NFL. You know, when we're 222 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: talking about minority highers and they're not going to be 223 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: a lot of minority highers and progress and university on 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: the general manager side. But you know, there's not that 225 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: in this hiring cycle, at least with coaching so far. 226 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see. And Brian Flores is you know, 227 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: interviewed with lately with the Texans and the Saints, and 228 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: actually saw him when he was meeting having a dinner 229 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: meeting with Saints officials here at the Senior Bowl, Samiky 230 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: Lomas and Aslaushka. So yeah, we'll see. I mean, I 231 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: think it'd be difficult for him to be hired while 232 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: he's in litigation class action against the league, certainly with 233 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: the teams that he's made those allegations against specifically, haven't 234 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: heard of any issue with New Orleans or Easton and 235 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: the relationship, especially with the Textans, So we'll see. I 236 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see how the lawsuit affects everything, Aaron, 237 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: I know you're down in the Senior Bowl right now, 238 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: down in Mobile covering what's happening this week with you know, 239 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: the beginning of the draft process, if you will. And 240 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: the Colts are a team that always pays a really 241 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: heavy attention to the Senior Bowl every year, but they 242 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: don't have that first round draft pick this year. They've 243 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: got a lot of premium positions of need that's going 244 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: to be tough to fill one of those spots without 245 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: that first round pick. What do you make of the 246 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: Colts this offseason and the situation that they're in with 247 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: uncertainty at quarterback and again long term needs at other 248 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: positions like wide receiver and left tackle. Right, Yeah, they 249 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: really could use an upgraded the left tackle position. And 250 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: there's some good tackles here at the Senior Wall in 251 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: Northern Iowa tackle and they've got to seriously think about 252 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: upgrading at first of all, quarterback and getting a you know, 253 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: younger playmaker at wide receiver. You know, t Y Hilton 254 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: has been so great, but the Paris Campbell hasn't fire 255 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: quite like you'd hope he's he's you know, splashed here 256 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: and there, But I would think that they need some 257 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: help and at those positions, figuring out a quarterback, getting 258 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: more out of Carson him playing better. Is there a 259 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: way to fix him? That's probably what they've got to 260 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: look at first, or they're trying to get involved with 261 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: one of these other quarterback situations. It doesn't sound like 262 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson be available. It sounds like Garon Rodgers is 263 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: looking at the Broncos, maybe from the Titans. Yeah, is 264 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill going to be on the move? All these 265 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: things are There's a lot of quarterback cominos have to fall. 266 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, if I'm thinking about the Colts, I really 267 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: feel like you got a zero it. You know, they 268 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: draft well, they've got to make some tough choices there 269 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: at wide receiver, left tackle. Honestly, you know, they fired 270 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Brian Maker, their defensive coach. Some of these guys that 271 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: they've invested in, they need to do even more. You know, 272 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: for Mars Bond be as greaty as he is, I 273 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: think they gotta some of the guys around him. If 274 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: any more. You gotta hope that Quinny pay takes that 275 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: second year leap. He's talented. They tried to be a 276 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: run offense, it worked, Jonathan Taylor, it was great, and 277 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: then they just faded. There No Maddy Reflus, who's now 278 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: the Bears coach. His defense. They needed to play better 279 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. But I mean, the 280 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: biggest disappointment of firsts Carson and until Carson plays the 281 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: more consistent level, there were times this year I thought, Okay, 282 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine, it's gonna bounce back. I just 283 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: wanted is it mental? You know, what is his situation 284 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: and what does he need to do to take stock 285 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: and be a better quarterback because right now he's not 286 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: getting it done. Having spent the week at the Senior Bowl, 287 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: give us maybe three or four big storylines for you 288 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: in terms of talking about this draft. And now we're 289 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: kind of in the infancy stages on on ramping up 290 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: to to draft coverage every week leading into late April. 291 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: But from your standpoint at the Senior Bowl, maybe some 292 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: a couple of few storylines about the guys and the 293 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: players that you saw in that All Star Game that 294 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: might be intriguing in this draft class. Right Yeah. I 295 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: thought Trey McBride from Colorado State, Jellen Wintermers out here, 296 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: they're kind of buying to be tight end one. He 297 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: checked a lot of boxes for NFL scouts and got 298 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: a chance interview him. I thought he was very impressive 299 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: about him. You know, you think about what he's doing. 300 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: This guy is as he said. He says he's the 301 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: best tight end of the draft. He won the John 302 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: Mackey Award. He's interesting over at quarterback and everybody likes 303 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: to watch quarterbacks. Malik Willis, I would say, is the 304 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: whole stallensed guy here. Pick it from pitt Is. You know, 305 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,359 Speaker 1: steady Carson Strong I thought, was, you know, very immobile. 306 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: I would be concerned about it. You know how much 307 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: he would get sacked. He's just not We're gonna athlete. 308 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: But you know, there are some good balls and some 309 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: of the defensive linemen. Eric Johnson from Missouri State was 310 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: good late edition. He earned that by doing all the 311 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: FLPA Collegiate Bowl. And so some of these guys that 312 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: come in here, they come in here ready to go, 313 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: and they're from small schools. They're hungry and they show 314 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: what they can do. Damon Clark LSU linebacker. Really I 315 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't just say three down, four down guy. He can 316 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: be on special team six four two forty four or 317 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: five speed, very instinctive and looks like the next LSU linebacker. 318 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: And we have a profile up on death as well. 319 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, say, you know, it's been an interesting week. 320 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: And what is most of what you're hearing though coaching 321 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: stuff and you know the rumor Bill hearing about you know, 322 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: who's getting jobs that that's kind of the side you know, No, 323 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: it's all this stuff is there's the game and the players, 324 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: the evaluation. That's the reason advice here. But it's kind 325 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: of a little bit of many NFL conventioned too. For sure.

We need some coaches on the 332 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: defensive side. With Eberflus going to Chicago taking Boorghanzi row 333 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: over Street, the list goes on and on. Like you said, 334 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Brian Baker, like go a whole new defensive coaching tree, 335 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: if you will. On the defensive side of the football. 336 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: For the Colts. What do you think about that? Right 337 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of Frank Reich and Chris Ballard's tenure 338 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: as GM and head coach of the Golds, Right yeah. 339 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: I mean I would say what they've been doing, it's 340 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: been good, but not quite good enough. I think they've 341 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: got to get a you better on defense, and they 342 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: need some new ideas. And one coach that they have 343 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: interest in, and it remains unclear if he's going to 344 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: get the offer, but one of the candidates is Chris Harris, 345 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: who was a safety for the Chicago Bears. He has 346 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: a background with Chris Ballard, say, someone that's under consideration, 347 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: and they've talked a lot of good and some coaches. 348 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: I think they've got some good football players. I mean, 349 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I really love watching Kenny Moore. I 350 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: think he doesn't get enough respect or in the league. 351 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: He's someone that always flies under the radar. He always 352 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: makes big plays. He's excellent. Darius Leonard of course, the 353 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: VARs Buckner, Babill Corrige just really rage linebacker. But as 354 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: much as they have a nice group of personnel, they've 355 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: got to figure out how to get the most out 356 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: of it. And I thought with abraw Flews, they're kind 357 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: of tapping the brakes there at the end. They getting 358 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: back to playing better football or aggressive football, and playing 359 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: against the Tyrod Taylor's and the Davis Mills a lot 360 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: different from playing inainst the elite guys. Last thing with 361 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson, NFL insider for the Pro Football Network, This 362 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: is kind of big picture Aaron. Just you've been covering 363 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: the NFL for a long time. You're so dialed into everything. 364 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: But I just want to know, how refreshing is it 365 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: that the Cincinnati Bengals are playing for Super Bowl for 366 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: the first time since nineteen eighty eight, to get some 367 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: fresh blood, if you will, in the big Game. How 368 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: refreshing is that going to be from your end to 369 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: see a different team, a different logo, and a different 370 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: brand of football in the Super Bowl next Sunday. I 371 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: think I'm like everyone. I think it's cool, and I 372 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: think that what they've done there, you know, they've always 373 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: been on these franchises that you know for years. I mean, 374 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: at one point they were a laughing stock, right gave 375 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: quietly been drafting better and making better free agent decisions. 376 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: There's a It's not just the owner Mike Brown, you know, 377 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: allowed the to happen. But one guy know it was 378 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: a key free agent sign. He was DJ Reader, but 379 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: they brought Jan that gave them his real stout presence there. 380 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: He's disruptive in the middle. And you look at Picking Burrow, 381 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: picking Chase putting some things together, having Joe Joe Mixon. 382 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: I worry about the offensive line, everyone does, and rightfully so. 383 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that'd be a big offseason project. But 384 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: what Dad wouldn't bet a guess is Joe Burrow and 385 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: this guy's clutch. He's not scared of anything. That's the 386 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: thing you want to fear this quarterback and that's what 387 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: he is. And he throws a great ball, and he's 388 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: smart and that guy's a winner and pantomized everything you 389 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: want to see in the quarterback position. And it's exciting 390 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: to see, especially in the EFC. It's kind of an 391 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: arm chase. If you don't have a quarterback like Burrow 392 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,239 Speaker 1: that you're not gonna be in the super Bowl. You're 393 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: not gonna be then the adding Bengals.

They have taken very 420 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: different paths to the Super Bowl next Sunday, but they 421 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: both started their careers in the same way as the 422 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Here we go, Okay, 423 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: here we go. It's the second time that both Super 424 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: Bowl starting quarterbacks were first overall pick. When was the first? Wow? 425 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: Only two times in the history of the Sex Wow 426 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: number one picks going head to head in the Super Bowl. 427 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: We've had one before and we've got the one this year. 428 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: I need the one before. And Colts fans you should 429 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: know this. It's gotta be Peyton Manning then. So, yes, 430 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: there you go. So, but he's not wearing the Colts 431 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: blue when I'm talking about when he did this. You 432 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

That's why Meyer proud to sponsor local 453 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: sports throughout Indiana, because when we support the home team, 454 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: we all win. How about this one, Matt Taylor's Super 455 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: Bowl oddities. The Super Bowl has never ever had a 456 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: home team host a game. Now we've got two in 457 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: a row. Don't forget Tampa Bay did it last year 458 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: and the Rams are doing it this year in LA. 459 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: How about that. I thought that would never happen. I 460 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: really didn't. Then we got two years back to back. Yeah, 461 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: you had fifty four Super Bowls where it never happened. 462 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: Then we've had it happened twice in two years. I 463 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: wonder how much of a home field advantage because you 464 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: would probably know this better than me. I've only been 465 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: to one Super Bowl, that was the Super Bowl here 466 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: between the Patriots and the Giants. How much of a 467 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: home field advantage do you think there will be for 468 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: the Rams? Because that's a very corporate crowd, is it not? 469 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: For a Super Bowl? Even though it's in Los Angeles. 470 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: There are more people at that game that that will 471 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: be their first NFL game of the year, of the year. 472 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: I'm talking corporate America. It takes over and Judy and 473 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: Bill from Accounting are going to an NFL game, you 474 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, and then they're hap to 475 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: be the Super Bowl. Hey, let's have fun. You know, 476 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: it's an investment. They say, Hey, it's a marketing part 477 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: of our marketing campaign. We're gonna take care of everybody. 478 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: That's my point. You're not gonna have a one place 479 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: that's gonna just be a raucous crowd like it is, 480 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, like they used to have it in the 481 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: black Hole in Oakland or something like that. You know 482 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not gonna be like that. It'll 483 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: be a mixed crowd with you know, some diehard fans 484 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: are don't get me wrong. But then again, you're gonna 485 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: have some passing of the day fans too that are 486 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: just like, oh, this should be fun.

It's 488 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: gonna be very difficult for the average fan in Cincinnati 489 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: that says, hey, let's go look at Super Bowl prices, 490 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: and then the last row, the last the last seat 491 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: in the last row of the house is going for 492 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: you know, eight thousand dollars, right, that's a pretty tall order. Bro, 493 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: Take a seat on the couch, enjoy, gets your beverage 494 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: whenever you need it. All Right here we go to 495 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. That's official. The Washington football team has changed it. Okay, 496 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: they are now the Commanders. Is going to take a minute, 497 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, you call games for a living. Does it 498 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: roll off your tongue? It does? It? Does? I like it. 499 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm 500 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: a fan of it. I'm a big fan of team 501 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: names that are indigenous of their city or state. So 502 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: I like the fact that they're incorporating something, you know, 503 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: military themed, being from the nation's capital. But you know 504 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: what will cure all this, you know what, We'll get 505 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: people on board winning just win. People will love the 506 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: name if you start to win, because Washington has not 507 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: won a playoff game since two thousand and five, So 508 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: if you win, they will love the name. Funny how 509 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: that works. Funny it is Washington football team formerly. They 510 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: now have a new name, the Commanders. And best of 511 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: luck to everybody over there right now, because a little 512 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: bit of that front office is in some hot water currently. 513 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that, but we got a special 514 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: goodbye for you.
