1 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the latest episode of the Two Minute 2 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Drill Podcast. I'm Amanda Foster as always, this week joined 3 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: by Casey Valley to preview the Colts Week two game 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. First, Casey, we do have to 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: talk about the big win on Sunday to open the season. 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: We've talked about it all week. Everybody's talked about it 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: all week because of how important of a win it 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: was for the Colts and the organization as a whole. 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: Saw a lot of good things, both from Daniel Jones 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: and the offense and the defense and lou Ana Roumo. 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Biggest takeaways for you after week one, Oh man, if 12 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: you can narrow any of them down, where. 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: Do I start? Yeah, the biggest thing that I took 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 2: away from it is just it was a perfect day 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: from let's say eight am all the way through four 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: whatever when the clock truck zero. Because all of the 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: lead up you had, you know, Jim Mersay going into 18 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor, you had all kinds of former Colts, 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: You had this, you know, this conversation about what is 20 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones going to look like with the Colts? Can 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 2: he you know, try and find some of that reason 22 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: he was drafted so high back by the Giants a 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: handful of years ago. And then the moment the ball 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: was kicked off, it was all Colts all day and 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: it was perfect. So it's one of those things where 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't think I can narrow it down to one 27 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: or two things, because it was just a perfect day 28 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: offensively kind of the way I described it. And this 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: is not a stab at Miami at all. I think 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: this is kind of what you try and do every 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: time you go out on the football field. But it 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: felt like the Colts had a game plan both offensively 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: and defensively, and they just simply executed their game plan right. 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: And yeah, that sounds very elementary and that's kind of 35 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: what you're trying to do. But for what the Colts 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: were able to do on Sunday, you don't beat teams 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: in the NFL by twenty five points. You just don't. 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it is a typically it's a one possession game. 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if it's the team that was the 40 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Super Bowl winner and the team that's picking first in 41 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: the draft. The gap between these teams it's so marginal, 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: so ultimately being able to go out and defeat a 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: team especially with an established quarterback Intua. He's got dynamic 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: weapons on the outside. You look at what they have defensively, 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: especially on that defensive line. I mean, this is not 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: a team that is going to go out and get 47 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: rolled every week. I mean, there's a good chance that 48 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: this week they go out and they beat New England 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: because I know that they play. That's who this team is. 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: The Colts just played. So it was the perfect execution 51 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: of both defensively and offensively, game planning and just executing 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: what you needed to do. And for Daniel Jones, He's 53 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: not going to say it because he because he is 54 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: a consummate pro, but the weight that I'm sure that 55 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: just got lifted off of his shoulders is just I mean, 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 2: you talk about an elephant in the room. He had 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: five of them sitting on his shoulders with all the 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: pundits on what's he's gonna do. So it was great 59 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: to see this cold team on last Sunday come out 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: just put on a full team effort. And we didn't 61 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: even talk about in that whole diatribe. I just had 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: never once do we mention the first Week one victory 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen. Yeah, and you know what, I'm so 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 2: glad that hopefully that's the last time I say that again, 65 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: Like I'm so tired of Oh well they finally won. No, no, 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: I'm done with it. Yeah, get rid of that streak. 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: So that was all of it was just a perfect 68 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: way for the Colts to start this season. 69 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and now we're kind of obviously in week two. 70 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: Now you're in that in between if players aren't going 71 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: to focus on Week one anymore because they're all like, 72 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: you just got to keep going and keep pushing past it. 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: But it is a meaningful win. 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: But now obviously looking at week two, welcoming the Broncos 75 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: into town, and we talked a little bit about the 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: defense and how good Anaremo's defense was in Week one. 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: Gonna look a little different come this weekend. On Friday, 78 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: the Colts r it up to a various words. Senior 79 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: with a concussion and Jalen Jones with a hamstring injury, 80 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: both obviously cornerbacks. Yeah, Ward, you're CB one so and 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: Layatu Latu Hams. Yeah, not sure exactly what that's going 82 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: to look like yet for him either. Tyler Goodson also 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: was limited this week in practice, so we'll see what 84 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: he does on Sunday. But the big thing, I mean, 85 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: Denver's defense won them the game last weekend against the 86 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. 87 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: Bon Knicks was. 88 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: Twenty five forty Yeah, two interceptions, one touchdown. So it's 89 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see. I think how the 90 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: two defenses impact the game. Obviously you say that every week, 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: but with how Ana Room is going to have to 92 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: change up his defense without Ward, and there's going to 93 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: be interesting. 94 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's one of those things where especially with 95 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: Sean Payton because he's kind of that offensive guru. You know, 96 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: people call lou and Aroumo the mad scientist. 97 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: So I've heard it's like they're the opposite thing. 98 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that chess match is going to be really 99 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: interesting on Sunday, and you talk about it without Sharvarius Ward. 100 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: I mean, that's definitely an impactful injury because you know, 101 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: you you target a guy in the offseason, you pay 102 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: him the money that the Colts paid him. You want 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: him to be CB one. You saw what he did 104 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: last week. I mean, he was every bit of what 105 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: they were looking for and it helps. 106 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: The good news is with a concussion, it's not your 107 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: he's hopefully we'll be back next week and it's not 108 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: this long term thing that people need to get all 109 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: freaked out about. 110 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just put it out there. 111 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: And every every concussion and symptoms are always different, yes, 112 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: But one of the things that I did think was 113 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: a positive sign was we saw him out there practice. 114 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: He wasn't practicing, but he was out there, and a 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: lot of times they talk about the light and noise 116 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 2: and the noise, so him being out there on practice 117 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: that definitely makes it, you know, a more positive sign 118 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: moving forward. But yeah, you don't ever want to take 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: these things, you know, lightly though, either, because the concussion 120 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: is very serious. So you know, we will see what 121 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: it looks like next week if he can get back 122 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: into you know, seeing him out there in that red jersey, 123 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: which is you know, moving through those steps in the 124 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: concussion protocol. But yeah, it's definitely going to change what 125 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: the defense can do. You talk about the Jalen Jones 126 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: injury as well. I know that Jalen was you know, 127 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: he was one of those reserve corners if you would 128 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: need to use them in this situation that you would 129 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: lose a Sharvarius Wards. So you know, it's it's a 130 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: next man up mantra in this league, that's kind of 131 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 2: the nature of the business. So guys like Makai Blackman, 132 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: you know, he's a new name to this Colts team. 133 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: We saw, you know, Jonathan Edwards have a really good 134 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: training camp. He's probably a guy that's going to be 135 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: asked to do a little bit more. And you're gonna 136 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: really rely heavily on your veterans, you know, Xavian Howard. 137 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a big week for him. Ginnymore a 138 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: very very big week. I will say that you talked 139 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: about the Denver defense. Now their offense they struggled last week, 140 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: not saying that they are going to continue. 141 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: To do that, but that is that that is. 142 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: One positive that you can look at what they did 143 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 2: last week. It's not this offensive juggernaut that we saw, so, 144 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: you know, but it's still going to be very important 145 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: to see what lou can do because, as I mentioned, 146 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 2: Sean Payton's kind of an offensive mind. You know, he's 147 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: one of those guys who's been one of the more 148 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: successful offensive minds of you know, the NFL over the 149 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: last twenty years or so. So it's going to be 150 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: a very interesting battle to see what Leu and or 151 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: Rumo can do to kind of make Sean Payton a 152 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: little uncomfortable. And bo Nix, who is you know, essentially 153 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: running the plays as Sean Payton's mind. And yeah, we 154 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: talked about the you talk briefly about bo Nicks two 155 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: interceptions last week lost to fumble. Yeah, last time the 156 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: Colts and Broncos played last year, Week fifteen, he had 157 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: three interceptions the game. He did have three touchdowns. Yes, 158 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: but you kind of saw the whole bow Knicks experience, 159 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: so we're hoping you get a little bit more of 160 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: the negative kind of with the Titans were able to 161 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: bring out last week when they come to town on Sunday. 162 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean it feels like this cornerback room 163 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: just can't really catch our break in terms of, you know, 164 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: you need that depth. And like you said, it's gonna 165 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be big for black men and Edwards. 166 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: Obviously black men did play some last week. He got 167 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: some experience, so we'll see kind of what that what 168 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: that looks like. But again, kind of you just got 169 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: to roll with the punches and not the ideal scenario 170 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: for Week two. But also nobody back there on the 171 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: in the in the locker room is really concerned because 172 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: it's always the next man up mentality. 173 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and ultimately, I think that's the the biggest reason 174 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: you feel that way. You feel that you know they're 175 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: all pretty confident is because you've seen the guys that 176 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: are going to be called upon go out and play 177 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: pretty high level football. And you talk about Blackman, you know, 178 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: he was the guy the Colts traded were right before 179 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: roster cuts, so not super familiar inside the Colts locker room. 180 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: But this is a third round pick from just four 181 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: years ago or three years ago. So ultimately, you know, 182 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: the Vikings saw something and they liked. The Colts clearly 183 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: saw something that they liked and they wanted to get 184 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: him here. So you know there's a purpose and this 185 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: is kind of that first Hey, here's the reason we 186 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: brought you in because especially at that position, depth is 187 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: so key because injuries happened, especially at the cornerback spots. 188 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: So it's going to be really interesting and I see 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: how that all comes out with Mackai Blackman. But one 190 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: really quick thing that I want to say, you feel 191 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: bad for Jalen Jones because you nurse that hamstring injury. 192 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: Essentially all of camp got back out there and it 193 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: was a special teams play. You saw him pull up 194 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: and you announced that it's the same hamstring and those 195 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: soft tissue things they just linger. And you really hope 196 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 2: that that Jalen can really get back to healthy because 197 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: he is a very He's a really nice tool to 198 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: have as a backup corner because it's the guy who 199 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 2: started the last hand essentially the last two seasons at 200 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: corner for the Colts, So you really want to get 201 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 2: him back healthy as well. 202 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of hamstrings, like we mentioned, just hoping that 203 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: everything goes well with a well even to get him out. 204 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: Shanstake and said today we're recording on Friday that they 205 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: don't really know. They're going to see what it looks 206 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: like that maybe some sort of pitch count for him. Again, 207 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: you never really know with Ana Roumo's defense as well, 208 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: what to expect. But also you don't want to necessarily 209 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: take a lot of risk in week two. 210 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: Either, right, And you talk about the pitchcount, and that 211 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: is one benefit of the position that he plays as 212 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: you can really monitor the amount of snaps that he's getting, 213 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: you know, mainly maybe one of those things that you say, 214 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: you know what We're going to just make it third down, 215 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: you know, passing downs that we need you out there. 216 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: Those when you're in and you can play. 217 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: That, maybe you can drop back into coverage, right. 218 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: I guess that's true. You know, maybe we just have 219 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: him dropping coverage and you get another interception two. But yeah, 220 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: so that's gonna be one thing to kind of monitor 221 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: to see what the status of layout tu Latu is 222 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: going to be and therefore who would step in if 223 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: he can't go. I would assume it'd be you know, 224 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: rookie j T Tuimoloau who was in active last week, 225 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: and they he's got a lot of depth on that 226 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: defensive line, especially defensive ends, So I would assume that 227 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: if he can't go, you would see kind of that 228 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 2: debut out of Tuumolaw. 229 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 3: Yeah. 230 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely lots to look for. Both teams going are 231 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: looking to go to and Oero on the season, which 232 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: would be big for both of them to kind of 233 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: for the Colts to be able to prove that Week 234 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: one was the start of right what will hopefully be 235 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of the rest of the season. 236 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: Well, and I've always said that when you look at 237 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: this schedule, it is it is pretty backloaded, So being 238 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: able to take advantage of, especially an AFC opponent at home, 239 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 2: all of those things they weigh very, very heavily when 240 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: you get down the stretch. Like the win last week 241 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: against Miami, it's a big win because it's Week one, 242 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: you move on. But then in week fourteen, week fifteen, 243 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: when you're starting looking at playoff scenarios and you got 244 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: the head to head and it also gives you a 245 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: victory inside the AFC conference, those are always massive. So yeah, 246 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: these games, especially you know, Denver at home, a team 247 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: that's kind of right on the same level as you. 248 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: You're both going to be fighting, you know, trying to 249 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: be a playoff team. Being able to take advantage of 250 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: having those kinds of games at home is going to 251 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: be monumental for this team. 252 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: Yep. Well, with that, I think we'll wrap up this 253 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: week's episode of two. 254 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: Minute Thanks for having me. 255 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: As always, thank you for coming on and providing your insight. 256 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: Be sure to subscribe to us on Indianapolis Colts Podcasts, 257 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts, 258 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: and following on Colts dot com over the weekend and 259 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: throughout the week for all the important news for Casey Valier. 260 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: I've been Amanda Foster and we'll talk to you next week. 261 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: Woo cool. 262 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: Hope I didn't go too long. 263 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: No, I think that was good.
