00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: So as a play by play guy, really looking forward

79
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: to that conversation.

80
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I could tell you geeked out on it. I did

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: a little bit.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: I did.

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: That was good.

84
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of shared in that that preparation and

85
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: spotting charts and you know, all the kind of the

86
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: pain and suffering that goes into getting ready for a

87
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: game that gets you ready for the final exam if

88
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: you will, which is the three hour rocket scotting chart.

89
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 5: One note really quickly is in the preseason Matt Taylor's

90
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: spotting chart is a FedEx special.

91
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: It is.

92
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: It is the size of a poster.

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: Bit it is no, it's a billboard. It's actually a billboard.

94
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: It is actually a billboard that you have to run down, Yeah,

95
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: to the FedEx on the south side get it custom

96
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 5: printed because you have so many guys. So I think

97
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 5: it's this is like the Championship for play by play guys,

98
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 5: when you're like, I have a fifty three man roster

99
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: that I have to worry about, this is incredible. I

100
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: have an official depth depth chart.

101
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: That I mean going going only having to memorize six

102
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: wide receivers compared to thirty seven seemingly and you know

103
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: fifteen tight ends. Obviously I'm being facetious, but no, I

104
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: mean when you do get that first regular season roster

105
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: in that depth chart, you're just like, where did everybody

106
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: go that.

107
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: First regular season practice. I'm like that we go out there,

108
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: where is everyone in Philly?

109
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 5: I was like spotting and I'm like calling out.

110
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: At forty seven.

111
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 5: Me is like, there's no forty seven on here, Like

112
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: Philly had added a guy the day before.

113
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: That always happens.

114
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: Right in the preseason. YEP, got to fill in that

115
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: that flip card there with some of the roster moves. Okay,

116
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: speaking in trouble this week, speaking of roster moves, none

117
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: are happening as we speak right now, so that's good.

118
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: We have a pretty good idea of who's going to

119
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: be out there on Sunday for this Colts team Week one.

120
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: But let's make some bold predictions, JJ, You're gonna hammer

121
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: these just like like Larry Is. I have a feeling

122
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: you guys are going to be on the same page

123
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: with a lot of these categories, if you will. But

124
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: first bold prediction going into the season, I need your

125
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: biggest rookie contributor for twenty twenty three not named Anthony Richards.

126
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: Do we go at the same time like so, I

127
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: mean like it's we know who we're going Josh Downs. Yeah,

128
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I'll let you take Josh Downs. I want to just

129
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: throw some other guys out who I think will contribute.

130
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: I think when you look at the fit that he

131
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 5: is within this Stichen scheme, he is such an asset

132
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: for what he can be in compliment to the athleticism

133
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: of Anthony richardson the dynamic of this offense. He's a

134
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: bit of a different type of weapon than we've seen

135
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 5: within this offense in the last few seasons. And what

136
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 5: was really impressive to me was he told me going

137
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: into the Buffalo game that he missed like several months

138
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 5: coming into startup training camp because he had that procedure,

139
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 5: he had.

140
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: That knee injury that he was rehabbing from.

141
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 5: All that that they were aware of coming out of

142
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: college and so those things that he had to work

143
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: back into shape a few of them, Like most of

144
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: it came really quickly to him because he has just

145
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: such incredible speed and the things where he didn't have

146
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: that like large you know, climb up where you're like, oh,

147
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: it's gonna be this very gradual ascension. Like he came

148
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: in day one and was making plays, and I think

149
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 5: that you thought initially, oh, it'll take him at a

150
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 5: little time to come in because he didn't have as

151
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: significant time in mini camp as some of the other

152
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: guys did. But he and Anthony have an incredible that's

153
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 5: that relationship that they have at incredible trust between the

154
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: two of them. There's this like unspoken communication that I

155
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: think is going to be really exciting. I mean, you

156
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: kind of think about, and you know, you don't want

157
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 5: to draw too many comparisons, but think back to from

158
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 5: the get go out of the gates, the Luck Hilton

159
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: connection and what that looked like because you had two

160
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: guys within the offense, same draft class, who came right

161
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: in and they just immediately clicked together. And that's something

162
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: that I see as being really exciting for the offense.

163
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: The way that Josh Downs sees things is so impressive.

164
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you can tell he's a coach's kid, right,

165
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: His dad's a coach, has played in the NFL. And

166
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: it's that that unspoken bond he talk about Lara, like

167
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: they see they both see a coverage and it's okay

168
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: if they do this, you do that. And Josh Downs

169
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: does a lot of stuff on like option routes where

170
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: you read the coverage and you run a route based

171
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: on the coverage. And that connection he has with Anthony

172
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: on those that's that's so important to not have to,

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, rep it and say like okay if they

174
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: do this, like I need you to do this. It's

175
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: sort of like, yeah, we both already know, like what

176
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: you're what the other one's gonna do. The the guys

177
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: I want to highlight here, since we talked about Downs,

178
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: I have three guys who I think are going to contribute.

179
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: Jalen Jones.

180
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Jones, Yeah, like right off the bat, He's the

181
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: cornerback out of that group of the three who the

182
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: Colts drafted, who was the most available during camp?

183
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: Most available see the GM acknowledges Jalen Jones during his

184
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: press as the.

185
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Reason why Darius Rush is no longer on this team.

186
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: Most available, which goes into health consistency, and I think

187
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: I think early on too, defense and special teams.

188
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, hundred percent, And he's not going to probably start

189
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: from week one. But you know, look, Brents Juju Brentz,

190
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: who's also on this list, Him and Jones are going

191
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: to be pushing Dallas Flowers and Darryl Baker all season.

192
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Those guys are going to continue to compete in practice,

193
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: and you see the talent that they both have. There

194
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: might come a point where the Colts figure out, we

195
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: need to figure out a way to get these guys

196
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: on the field, not because of anything that maybe Dallas

197
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: or Daryl are not doing well, but because man, I mean,

198
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: they're just they're making play after play and I think Maytay,

199
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: you're right, the special team's huge part of it. Next

200
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: guy going into that as Evan Hall. For me, I

201
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys caught it. Last week, Jim

202
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Bob Cooter, the offensive coordinator of the Colts, talking about

203
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Evan Hall and said he was pleasantly surprised with how

204
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Evan Hall has picked up some stuff in protection, like

205
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: for rookies they usually don't do a lot of that.

206
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: College you come in, you don't do a ton of

207
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: stuff in protection. Maybe you'll block a linebacker if you

208
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: know blitz is coming, but it's not as intricate as

209
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get in the NFL.

210
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: He had a huge win in Philadelphia.

211
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean he rocked that dude, that blitz are

212
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: coming in.

213
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: I was on the sidelines like fifty feet away and

214
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 4: felt it. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome.

215
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: But like you want to get on the field as

216
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: a rookie running back who maybe isn't going to be

217
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: the number one guy, you got it, you got to block.

218
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: That's a sure fire away to not see this thing exactly.

219
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: And Evan Hall is a he's a very good pass

220
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: catcher that's established coming out of Northwestern eighty eight catches

221
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: his last two years there. But he's a guy who

222
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: if if you say, all right, hey, maybe he's your

223
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: third down back to start off, because you trust him

224
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: to go block a blitzing guy, help out Anthony. Who

225
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: Anthony's gonna see Blitzer he's never seen before and it's

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: going to be on the old line to get the

227
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: protection right. But then Evan Hall to get that block

228
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: correctly and go at the right angle and keep that

229
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: guy to Anthony's face. I think that gets him on

230
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: the field. In addition, then too, you can throw on

231
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: the ball and feel comfortable and he's going to catch

232
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: it to make a play on it.

233
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: I want to double back to the Josh Downs conversation,

234
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: and this is just sort of a tangent, But what

235
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: I think, I'm doubling down and doubling back, right, So

236
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm all over the place here, Okay, like I'm driving

237
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 3: the car the wrong way going down thirty seven and

238
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: I'm going south in a northbound lane. But I think

239
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: he represents a skill set and talent the Colts just

240
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: have not had on their roster in a long long time,

241
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: that true slot receiver. Obviously, Isaiah McKenzie can do a

242
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: lot of the same things, and they're kind of interchangeable

243
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: to a degree. We've talked a lot about how they

244
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: have different skill sets. Right, They're not exactly the same player.

245
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: No two players are. But I think what Downs has

246
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,119
Speaker 3: to bring to this offense, and what the Colts desperately

247
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: need within this offense is yack yards after the catch.

248
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: I mean, last year, the Colts' number as a team

249
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: collectively from their wide receivers. Last year, their yards per

250
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: catch I think was like nine point seven, which was

251
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean that's I think that's a franchise low number.

252
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 3: I mean, I've got Pittman on the outside, who's obviously

253
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 3: a great possession receiver. That big body guy Pierce we

254
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: think is going to be that designer go route, go

255
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: ball right, go go up and get it on the

256
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: side lines top of receiver. But they need big plays

257
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: from their slot in terms of Josh downs, being able

258
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: to go seven eight yards and turn that into a

259
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty yard explosive play in a first down

260
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: to help the overall efficiency of this offense. And again

261
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: a skill set they just haven't had for a long time.

262
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: And I think for all that we have seen, I

263
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: never know.

264
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: Who look to by the way, I'm like this linebacker

265
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: head on a swivel. You know, That's what I'm doing

266
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: right here. I like it.

267
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 4: I like it.

268
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 5: I think that for all that you see on display

269
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: with Josh with the incredible speed and this phenomenal route

270
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 5: running in the hands and all those different things, like

271
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: what allows him to do exactly that is he has

272
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 5: this inherent like nastiness about him, Like I mean that

273
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: in the best way possible, Like it is a grittiness

274
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 5: where he's a dog, like he's going to go toe

275
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 5: to toe.

276
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: He's gonna battle guys.

277
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 5: He's going to toss people, you know, like off his

278
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: body and he's gonna fight. And I think that that

279
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 5: is something that especially as like a passionate, fiery, young

280
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: head coach, that's what you want to build your roster around.

281
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: You want to build your offense around kind of guys

282
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: who are willing to do those type of things. Because

283
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 5: Josh Downs is not afraid of a matchup that he's going.

284
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: To have coming in. Very instinctual player, runs very good

285
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: routes and as I think you said it, great rapport

286
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: with Anthony Richardson. So far, those guys are roommates in

287
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: training camp. We know about the story in the spring

288
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: and the parking lot, hanging out, throwing the ball around.

289
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,119
Speaker 3: All right, staying with you, lo, breakout player in twenty

290
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: twenty three, we're making bold predictions for the entire season.

291
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: I need the breakout player for the Colts in twenty

292
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: twenty three. Either side of the ball doesn't One of.

293
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: The topics we have spent so much time on this offseason.

294
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: What have we talked about.

295
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: Colts need a passionate rush, right, consistent pass rush.

296
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: My guy's quity pay.

297
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 5: I think that this is the year that you see

298
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: Quitty have that breakout year. He's been building to it.

299
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 5: You certainly have seen games where he has been an

300
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 5: incredible force on the edge. I think this is the

301
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: time where, especially health being a significant factor for him

302
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 5: being able to stay on the field. I think that

303
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 5: will lend it to this being a huge year. And

304
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: it needs to be. You need to have that established

305
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: kind of wrecker off of the edge. He's had time

306
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 5: now playing beside Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner, and you

307
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: know last year it was unique in gocway out there

308
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: as well. Now, I think it's really Quitty's time to

309
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: shine and embrace being that guy.

310
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Quitdy had six sacs and twelve games last year.

311
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: It really is for me the health that it missed

312
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: five games, right, if he can be on the field

313
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: for seventeen games, and like hearing from him this offseason

314
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: like that, that's something that really ate at him and

315
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: it really kind of motivated trimmed down.

316
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: He said he's lost some weight to can see his

317
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: abs again now.

318
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: He also said to.

319
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 5: What's that like, Yeah, the shirt up direct quote from

320
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 5: fifty one, I can see my abs again. He also

321
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 5: said I thought this was this was telling that he

322
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: wasn't solely a power rusher.

323
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: He can now also be a speed rusher.

324
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: And that's been melting.

325
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: That was that element that he'd been incorporating.

326
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 5: And you talk about like instinctual players and smart players,

327
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 5: like I do think Quity has all of those factors

328
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 5: to be a very special guy.

329
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: On the end, I know you're going offense.

330
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, So who did Chris Ballard mention first? Last week?

331
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: Went? So? So let me guess. Go ahead, so but

332
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: let me.

333
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: I just want to tee it up for the listeners

334
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: before he take a guess. So last week Chris Ballard's

335
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: press conference was mostly about Jonathan Taylor, right. He was

336
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: asked mostly about Jonathan Taylor, and he talked about how

337
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of a shame that we haven't talked about

338
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: some of the guys who have really stood out this

339
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: training camp. Who is the first person he mentioned, I'm

340
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: pretty sure it was Bernard, That is correct. It is

341
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman, who's my breakout player for this season. Some

342
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: of the stuff you saw, Oh, I mean it looks good,

343
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: like he put on good weight, like we're talking about

344
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: QUITTI pay. I can see my abs again, Like you

345
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: put on good weight. That's the same thing of like, wow,

346
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: it must be nice. I mean he put on just

347
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: like muscle, which I think is what we all kind

348
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: of expected. You know, you get a year in like

349
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: he had last year, a rookie year, and then you

350
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: get the the NFL off season where you're not training

351
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: for the Combine, you're not training for your pro day.

352
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: It's just you are training to play week one. Let's

353
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: get let's get you the the weight you need, the

354
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: muscle you need. And I can't remember a time in

355
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: training camp where I saw him really getting me. I'm

356
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: sure maybe there is a moment or two. But like

357
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: like everyone, but that the preseason game against Buffalo where

358
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: he just stonewalled Greg Russo, Leonard Floyd. You know those

359
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: Bills ed rushers who they're playing some some of their

360
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: top guys. That obviously wasn't Von Miller, who wasn't playing

361
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: in that game. But he looked really good in that game.

362
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Hearing from Chris Ballard about him. Just like having conversations

363
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: with folks around here, and it's like, you see what

364
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Bernard's doing that if you get that left tackle spot solidified.

365
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: We're not saying he's going to be a you know,

366
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. He's not a perfect right, But the

367
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: thing with Bernard last year was he was good, but

368
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: when he wasn't perfect, he gave up a sack.

369
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: It came in those big moments, right. Unfortunately, his mistakes

370
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: were accentuated because of when the mistakes had right right,

371
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, two minute drills, games on the line directly

372
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: impacts the Colts.

373
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Not scoring played a play basis. Though he was good,

374
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was getting beat every single time

375
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: he was out there, and it wasn't like he was

376
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: getting picked on by opposing defenses. He faced a gauntlet

377
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: of guys last year too. You're talking about Alex high Smith,

378
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, you know some of those guys who they

379
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: faced at the end of the year. I think what

380
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: you saw from him last year though, was he's a

381
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: solid player who needed to get stronger, improve his technique.

382
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: What have we seen from him? He's gotten stronger, He's

383
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: improved his technique, I think that teas him up to

384
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: have a breakout, and that's.

385
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 5: Also a testament to the work of Tony Sparano Junior

386
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 5: and how well Bernard to stick into him. I mean,

387
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 5: talk to any offensive lineman if you want to get

388
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: an offensive lineman in this building talking, ask them about

389
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 5: coach Sperano and the impact that he has made.

390
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: And these guys will.

391
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 5: Give you so much content because.

392
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: They absolutely love him.

393
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 5: They play hard for him, and I do think that

394
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: Bernard is going to be one of kind of the

395
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 5: greatest recipients of the tutelage that coach Sperano has brought in.

396
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: All Right, Bowl prediction, last one before we get to

397
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: Kenny Albert. Also, we're coming up. We're gonna break down

398
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: the lingering questions we have for this team. A lot

399
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: of unknowns. Obviously, you fully just don't know about an

400
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: NFL team. I mean, you've got training camp, you got

401
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: preseason games, but there's just things that you just don't

402
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: know about your squad before you play an actual regular

403
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: season game. Kenny Albert coming up, JJ, I need your

404
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 3: most impressive defensive player in twenty twenty three. When we're

405
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: sitting here in this podcast on January fifteenth. Let's say

406
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: after Week eighteen of the NFL regular season, hopefully within

407
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: that podcast talking about an NFL wild card game or

408
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: what have you. But I need the most impressive defensive

409
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: player for the entire year in two thousand.

410
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: And twenty three. I'm gonna take someone who you might say, well,

411
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: that's obvious, but I don't want to take this guy

412
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: for granted. And that's the Forest.

413
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 6: Yeah.

414
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, okay, so I was like waffling

415
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 5: between three. So I'm glad you yet first, I mean,

416
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 5: that's certainly a guy, isn't there.

417
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner's just really good. He's a really good football player,

418
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: doesn't miss any time. He's tough as nails. He gets sacks,

419
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: he gets pressureus, he affects the run. He's one of

420
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: the best interior defensive linemen in the NFL. And I

421
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: think sometimes when when you get a player who's this

422
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: good for this long and you're just like, yeah, Buck's good. Like, no,

423
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: Buck's great, Let's just remember how good, like top level

424
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: of a player DeForest Buckner is and not take him

425
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: for granted.

426
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: He's the leading sacker on this team since he arrived

427
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty. But I mean he's a defensive tackle.

428
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: He's had at least seven sacks and double digit TFLs

429
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: every year he's been here. Yeah, like he it's not

430
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: just the pressures on the quarterback.

431
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: It's doesn't miss games.

432
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he doesn't miss games. It's the partnership

433
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: he has with Grover Stewart where you can't run the

434
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: ball up the middle. I mean that to me, it's

435
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner and until it's someone else, it's Steforest Buckner.

436
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 5: I kind of so Grove was one that came into

437
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 5: my mind, of course because of just this incredible, like

438
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 5: gradual progression that he has been on year after year.

439
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: I mean, he's kind of that guy that everyone looks

440
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: to as this is a Pro Bowl player that doesn't

441
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 5: get Pro Bowl votes because people just are not aware

442
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: enough of the force that is Grover Stewart. So I

443
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 5: like Grover in this conversation, the guy I'm gonna go

444
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 5: with who is on a huge year.

445
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore say, yeah, I was thinking about him too.

446
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 4: Kenny Moore.

447
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 5: The second I think that this is this has been

448
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: set up as his season to shine. He is now

449
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 5: that elder statesman within that secondary he has led that

450
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 5: group for so long now one of now the longest

451
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: tenured colts, one of the.

452
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: You know, when you're talking about defense, he is Yeah.

453
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 5: Exactly, so Ryan Kelly offensively, and then you of course

454
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 5: have Kenny, and I think with the group that he

455
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: is now leading in the most veteran of he's embracing

456
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 5: that role as the leader, and he's had to adapt

457
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 5: a lot.

458
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 4: This is a huge.

459
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: Testament to what Kenny has endured over the last year,

460
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: the amount of growth, the amount of maturity he has shown.

461
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 5: And I do think that this is a year where

462
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: he's going to be called upon to do so many

463
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 5: different things within this defense, and so I think that

464
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 5: this is going to be an opportunity where he really

465
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 5: kind of takes the ball by the horns and again

466
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 5: kind of goes back to that Pro Bowl level that

467
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: you saw him two years ago.

468
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

469
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: I think Kenny did a lot of introspection this offseason.

470
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: A different guy.

471
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know where last year was not that he

472
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a single interception last year and that really

473
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: aid at him. And you know, he admitted he didn't

474
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: totally see eye to eye with Gus Bradley last year,

475
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: but he you know, took some time away after last

476
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: season ended, flushed it figured out, Okay, here's what went wrong,

477
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 1: Here's what I can do to help it. On my end,

478
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: hearing Gus Bradley talk about Kenny Moore this year is

479
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: like this guy sets the pace of practice. He's a

480
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: guy who, like you said, Lara, we're going to look

481
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: to to do a ton of stuff on this defense. Absolutely.

482
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Because also here's the thing with Kenny is you know,

483
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard openly talked about how the Coltscott trade offers

484
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: for him. This is a big year for Kenny.

485
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: A lot of conversations for him to just stick.

486
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: Around, yes for him right here, And I think that

487
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: he's kind of taken to that, taking it as a

488
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: challenge and you know, all right, you want to finish

489
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: your career out in Indianapolis. I think that sets him

490
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: up now for a year that could get him there.

491
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: You know, when I wrote down the word impressive, like

492
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: when I was filling this out, like word association impressive

493
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: on defense is Zire Franklin. Yeah, because the dude just embodies.

494
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 5: You were talking about a guy and take the granted

495
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: you can talk about like I kind of feel like

496
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: we kind of have done that with a little bit.

497
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was just blown away. Like his comments.

498
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: I know they're kind of in the asked now a

499
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: good month or so, but when he showed up to

500
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 3: training camp and said, anybody can have one good year,

501
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: but I'm destined to not be a one hit wonder. Right.

502
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: This ain't the Macarena. Okay, this isn't you know your

503
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 3: love by the outfield, what I like about you by

504
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: the Romantics? Okay, we're not doing that. Zire Franklin isn't

505
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: a one hit wonder. He's not going to be the

506
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: answer to a trivia question like who led the colts

507
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: and tackles in twenty twenty two. He is bound and

508
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: determined to not only back up what he did last

509
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: year individually, but get this defense better in areas they've

510
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: got to be better in right, taking they.

511
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 5: Too, because it's a quash in the pan season, fourth

512
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: year that he's been elected as a captain.

513
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

514
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I wrote a big story on him where I talked

515
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: to Bobby Wagner, who's the one who told him anyone

516
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: can have one good season, and he and Bobby have

517
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: a very tight relationship and something Bobby Wagger. Wagner told

518
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: me is he was like, Zaire's always had this in him.

519
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: He's like I would watch his film and be like,

520
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: he's going to be good. He's just got to get

521
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: a chance. And he got his chance last year, and

522
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: now is this chance.

523
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: That's where talent and hard work meets opportunity. Yeah, and

524
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: you do not squander that. I think we can all

525
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: get a good life lesson out of Zire Franklin and

526
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: what he was able to kind of turn himself into

527
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: getting the first opportunity to start last year at linebacker.

528
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: All Right, thirteen practices in at Graham Park, joint work

529
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 3: together with the Bears and the Eagles, three preseason games.

530
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 3: We still I mean, there's still a lot that we

531
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: don't know about this team. It's like Christmas Day or

532
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 3: Christmas Morning, when you're under the tree. You're opening up

533
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: all the toys, see what they can do, putting your

534
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: batteries in, see how they function, See what kind of

535
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 3: matches up with other things that you have jj your

536
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: biggest lingering question that you're most looking forward to seeing

537
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: answered on Sunday.

538
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: All right, let me follow that that line of thinking,

539
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: Mom and Dad don't let you see the Christmas presents

540
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: before christmas're all wrapped up. Yeah, I don't know what

541
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: this offense is going to look like at all. Yeah,

542
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea, but I know I'm excited

543
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: to see it. I know I'm excited to see what

544
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen's going to do when he's not holding anything

545
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: back because it's preseason and why the hell did you

546
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: put anything on tape in the preseason.

547
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 3: Especially when you have so much fresh that you can

548
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: use to your advantage from a gamesmanship state.

549
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: I've been reading a couple of things. Albert Breer wrote

550
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: about this in SI There are some people around the

551
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: league who think the Colts are gonna take some teams

552
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: by surprise at least early, right, Yeah, where like they're

553
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna do some things that you don't. I mean, I

554
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna look like, but no, And

555
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: the good news is now they do the Jaguars may

556
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: who knows, we'll see on Sunday, and that's gonna be

557
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: so exciting because yeah, you know, I'm not You can't

558
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: really take a peek at your Christmas presence before Christmas.

559
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: And Shane Stikeen has done a very good job of

560
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: hiding those Christmas presents before opening them on Sunday? Did

561
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: I do a good job with that?

562
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: You did? Thank you good analogy?

563
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: Who are your offensive playmakers? That is my lingering question.

564
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't see a whole lot of Alec Pierce

565
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: in the preseason. I don't think you had to catch

566
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson in the entire offense. They only played nine

567
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: series together, and in those nine series, over the course

568
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: of two games, they didn't play against any starters on

569
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: defense from either the Bills or the Eagles.

570
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: So that's that's it for me. Who are they? Who

571
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: are your game changers on offense?

572
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: Outside of Anthony Richardson. He's going to provide, certainly those

573
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 5: exciting moments and he is going to make plays, But

574
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: in terms of everyone else around him, you've got to

575
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: see people start to emerge as that go to weapon

576
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: or those go to weapons. So that's that's you know,

577
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 5: wide receivers, tight ends, running backs.

578
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: Everybody think all good answers, and I know I talked

579
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: about it last week on the podcast, and I hate

580
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 3: to beat a dead horse, but it's can you rush

581
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: and cover? You know, I mean, can you generate enough

582
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 3: pass rush from your front foor and JJ if you

583
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 3: can't get it, how creative do you think you need

584
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: to be under Gus Bradley to bring some more pressure

585
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 3: because you know traditionally he doesn't like to do that.

586
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have to become more of a blitz

587
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: heavy team? Do you have to play more too high

588
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: safeties to keep it, you know, a shell on the defense?

589
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say with Gus Bradley is

590
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: last year he did tweak some things and how he

591
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: plays coverages, how he rushes. He still is not. You know,

592
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: he's not gonna blitz a whole lot. We know that

593
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: about him. But you know Colts did some different things.

594
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: You think about that camp against Mahomes kept him in

595
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: the world, and you talk about you talk about surprises.

596
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean Mahomes and that Andy Reid offense. They've gone

597
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: against Gus Bradley for the last like five seasons, and

598
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Gus comes out throwing flamethrowers and

599
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: they hold the Chiefs to seventeen points.

600
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: I also think it's advantageous to start this season that

601
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: this defense has been having to go up against Anthony

602
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 5: Richardson and a dynamic athletic quarterback with an incredible arm,

603
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 5: but playmaking ability with his legs as well. I think

604
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: that's going to be something when you look at the

605
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 5: first part of your schedule and you're talking about Trevor

606
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: Lawrence and C. J.

607
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 4: Stroud and Lamar Jackson.

608
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 5: Like that is really going to help this defense. The

609
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 5: fact that they've had to look at Anthony Richardson since

610
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 5: you know ape or I guess may of course when

611
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 5: he got into the building and you started ots in

612
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: mini camp. So I do think that that's going to

613
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 5: be a benefit, and you've probably had to tweak something

614
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 5: based on what you were able to see and the

615
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 5: looks he was able to give you in training camp.

616
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge year for Quitty pay your guy that you

617
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: picked on the defensive side of the ball. Huge year

618
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: for Samson Abacom. Right, let's see free agency. Let's see

619
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 3: it again. You know dioa Dangbo and who is your

620
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 3: NASCAR package on obvious passing situations? On those obvious passing downs?

621
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 3: Can you leave Grover Stewart in? Does dioa Dangbo need

622
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 3: a kick inside? Where does Tayekwon Lewis factor into that?

623
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: How much you know how much of a propensity to

624
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: blitz and send extra people. Do you need to have

625
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: early in the season to generate pass rush because at

626
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: times last year that same unfortunate bugaboo that we saw

627
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: in years pass under Matt eberfluts, the high completion percentage

628
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: that crept into areas last year. You want to see

629
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: that eradicated with the rush being able to help the coverage,

630
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: especially in the back, and when you have a lot

631
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: of new faces, guys taking on much bigger roles Dallas Flowers,

632
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 3: Darryl Baker Junior, and then not to that huge severe

633
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: of a degree, but you do have Julian Blackman in

634
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: new position, switching positions, going from free safety to strong safety. Yeah.

635
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: No, it's a really good point and we'll see.

636
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 6: Well.

637
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm so excited we're felling it against.

638
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: Yet only a few more days before we finally have

639
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: because I've.

640
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 5: Been like so agitated, Like I was texting mate because

641
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: I was like watching IU and it's like this should

642
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 5: be here.

643
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm so ready to go, we should be I'm watching

644
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,359

00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: were the NFL. I love college football. I wish this

00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: with the NFL.

647
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 3: Big year for the Russian cover. It's also a big

648
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 3: year for our guest today on the podcast, Kenny Albert.

649
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: As we said, thirty years, right, three decades calling NFL games,

650
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: not for like three different companies, three different organizations, all

651
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: for the same place. That would be Fox. And he's

652
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: called over four hundred and seventy five games in the NFL.

653
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: Only guy currently calling games for all four major sports

654
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: in North America, NFL, Major League Baseball, NBA, and love

655
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 3: is Tough on the NHL. So great conversation earlier today

656
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: myself and JJ Stegobitz with a great Kenny Albert. He's

657
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: going to be on the call on Sunday Colts and

658
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: Jaguars Week number one. We're going to see him at

659
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: Lucas Oil Stadium joining us now. Long time NFL play

660
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: by plan man, thirty years on the job, in fact,

661
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: thirty years this fall calling NFL games. That would be

662
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: Kenny Albert on the phone with us. Kenny, thanks so

663
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: much for the time, man, How are you.

664
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 6: I'm great, Thanks for having me, guys, And it's really

665
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 6: hard to believe that it's thirty years. I remember the

666
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 6: first game like it was yesterday, back in September of

667
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: ninety four, So not sure all the time's gone, but

668
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 6: great to be headed to Indianapolis to get started this Sunday.

669
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's remarkable. I mean, did you have

670
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: any idea in nineteen ninety three, nineteen ninety four, did

671
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: you have any idea then that you'd still be doing

672
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: it at the same place three decades later, still doing

673
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 3: it at a high level for the same entity, if

674
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: you will.

675
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 6: Well, it was such an exciting time back then. Back

676
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: in late ninety three, Rupert Murdoch and his Fox Network,

677
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 6: which did not have a sports department at the time,

678
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 6: decided to make an unconventional, unexpected, crazy bid on the

679
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 6: NFC package, which CBS had owned for thirty five thirty

680
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 6: eight years. And when this was announced, you know, I

681
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 6: think sports fans and the sports media world were in shock, because,

682
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 6: like I said, Fox did not have a sports department.

683
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 6: There were jokes about who's going to be up in

684
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 6: the booth, Bart Simpson and at the time.

685
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: At the time.

686
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 6: Immediately immediately they hired Pat Summerl and John Madden, two

687
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 6: of the best all time calling the NFL, and then

688
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 6: they brought in Dick Stockton and Matt Millen from CBS

689
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: as the number two crew, and the executives at Fox

690
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 6: decided to take a chance on some really young play

691
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 6: by play broadcasters at the time. You know, I'm proud

692
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 6: to say that, as you mentioned, I'm heading into year thirty,

693
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 6: Joe Buck was hired then. He's had a Hall of

694
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 6: Fame career twenty eight years at Fox and now at

695
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 6: Monday Night Football. Tom Brenneman was twenty five plus years

696
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 6: at Fox, and Kevin Harlan, who was also part of

697
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 6: that group, was only at Fox for four or five years,

698
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 6: but he's had an unbelievable career at CBS and TNT.

699
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 6: So I'm not sure I would have believed it if

700
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 6: you said it back then, But Fox, you know, made

701
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 6: those decisions and took a chance on a number of us,

702
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: and here we are talking about it thirty years later,

703
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 6: thirty seasons.

704
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: Later, Kenny, this is going to be your four hundred

705
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: and seventy seventh NFL Network broadcast, which I've read your

706
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: bio that's eighth most all time, Which is I mean,

707
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: what an accomplishment? What still gets you like? What's still

708
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: gets you going through going through the process of getting

709
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: a broadcast on the air, and you know, presenting a

710
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: football game to millions of fans watching around the country.

711
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 6: Right again, it's hard to believe. I know there's a

712
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 6: gentleman in the Midwest who keeps track of those numbers

713
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 6: and hit four fifty a couple of years ago, and

714
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: I guess closing it now at five hundred. But it's

715
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: still so exciting to get ready. And I love the preparation.

716
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 6: So you know, when I sat down, obviously I've been

717
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 6: watching and paying attention and reading during the preseason, but

718
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 6: really every Monday morning during the NFL season, when I

719
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 6: sit down and start the preparation, I have a checklist

720
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 6: that I go through similar to what you guys do,

721
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 6: I'm sure getting ready for every game, and it involves

722
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 6: doing a lot of reading, watching prior games, preparing charts,

723
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 6: going through press releases and statistics, and then later in

724
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 6: the week going to a team practice, which our crew

725
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 6: will do with the Colts on Friday, and then we'll

726
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 6: sit down with four or five players and coaches, and

727
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 6: then we'll do the same thing with the visiting team

728
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 6: when they get into town, the Jaguars on Saturday. It's

729
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 6: really a team effort, you know. Myself, Jonathan Fillman is

730
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 6: my analyst, Shannon Spake, one of the best sideline reporters

731
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 6: in the business, and then our producer Fran Morrison, director

732
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 6: Brian Lilly, and then the broadcast associate who prepares all

733
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 6: the graphics, Cody Novak, and Caden Pfeiffer, who's the associate director.

734
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 6: So you know, we travel as a pack every weekend,

735
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 6: and we all come from different places and we'll get

736
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 6: into Indy on Friday and we'll be together until we

737
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: our flights take off on Sunday nights. So your crew

738
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: really becomes like your family for the eighteen weeks during

739
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 6: the NFL season. I probably spend more time with them

740
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 6: and have more meals with them than I do with

741
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 6: my actual family. But to get back to the original question,

742
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 6: I love the preparation getting ready for the broadcast, preparing

743
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 6: the charts, you know, reading about some of the new

744
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 6: players and coaches obviously, and putting the storylines together. And then,

745
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 6: like I said, we'll meet with players and coaches and

746
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 6: both sides, and then we'll sit down on Saturday night

747
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: and have our own production meeting and talk about some

748
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 6: of the key storylines that we want to hit on.

749
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 6: And you know, when you mentioned Matt number, whether it's

750
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 6: the thirtieth season or the four hundred and seventy six games,

751
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 6: just so many memories. I get asked often about favorite games,

752
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 6: and I do have some in each of the sports

753
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 6: that I've been fortunate enough to call. But in the NFL,

754
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 6: there are moments that stand out. I had the game

755
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 6: when Terall Owen stumped on the Cowboys Star for example,

756
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 6: back in the early two thousands. I had the Michael

757
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 6: Vick forty six yard zig zag touchdown running overtime early

758
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 6: in his career up in Minnesota. The Victor Cruz ninety

759
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 6: nine yard touchdown against the Jets to propel the Giants

760
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 6: into the playoffs back in twenty eleven. They eventually won

761
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. So there are just so many moments

762
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 6: that stand out etched in my memory. And just last

763
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 6: year we had the crazy ending in Vegas, the Patriots Raiders,

764
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: the lateral and the Chandler Jones interception with no time

765
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 6: left at the clock. So when you step into the

766
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 6: booth on Sunday at any given Sunday, as they say,

767
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 6: you never know what you might see.

768
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: I always wonder this because I see what Matt Taylor

769
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 1: does to get ready for a broadcast. And I didn't

770
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: know this coming in from someone who had just covered,

771
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, I was on outside media covering the Chicago Bears,

772
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: and I thought, ah, you know, the broadcast folks at

773
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: production meetings, they get the rosters together and like that's

774
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: about it. And the amount of work that you know,

775
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: you do that Matt does to get ready to put

776
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: a broadcast on the air is something like I still

777
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: don't fully understand a.

778
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: Lot of late nights, Kenny, right, a lot of late

779
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: nights do you?

780
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny, do you find that, like you know,

781
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: your friends and I mean obviously you come from a

782
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, a good broadcasting family, certainly, but do you

783
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: find like people who you know are even like you do?

784
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: How much work and you only see the you know,

785
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: the three four hour product, right.

786
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 6: It's a great question, and I'm not sure that people

787
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 6: outside the world of play by play or broadcast asking

788
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 6: would would even begin to fathom how many hours go

789
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 6: into it, you know, if it's bad preparing for each

790
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 6: and every Colts game or our crew preparing for the

791
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 6: games that we go in to do on Sundays. I've

792
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 6: never really added it up, but for a typical NFL game,

793
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 6: it's probably twenty thirty forty hours total when I put

794
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 6: together you know, the time at home or wherever I

795
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 6: might be Monday through Thursday, on planes, in airports, you know,

796
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 6: hotel rooms and taxis and ubers. I'm always, you know,

797
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 6: trying to take advantage of the time, reading whenever I can.

798
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 6: And then you know, the Friday Saturday when we're in

799
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 6: the in the city and going to the practices and

800
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 6: meetings and just sitting around talking about it. So the

801
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 6: average fan would not would not be aware. You know,

802
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 6: we don't just show up at twelve fifty nine on

803
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 6: a Sunday with rosters and step into the booth. But

804
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: you know, I always tell people friends, family, and broadcasting

805
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 6: students who might ask the question, We're so fortunate. I'm

806
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 6: sure Matt would agree. Even though there's a lot of

807
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 6: work and travel involved, they never really feel like I'm working.

808
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 6: It's fun work, sure, watching watching other games and reading

809
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 6: about sports and talking about it with colleagues. And if

810
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 6: you don't mind me giving a quick plug, I have

811
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 6: a book coming out in October and I've been working

812
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 6: on it for the last three years. Just received the

813
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 6: first copies this past Thursday, so really exciting time. And

814
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 6: I talk about a lot of the preparation. There's a

815
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 6: chapter that I devote to what goes into preparing for

816
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 6: a broadcast and the checklist that I go through for

817
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 6: each and every game that I.

818
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: Work's what's the name of the book, Kenny.

819
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 6: So the book's called A MIC for All Seasons and

820
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 6: it's M I C like a microphone, and then I

821
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 6: and MIC is actually a microphone on the front cover.

822
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 6: And you know, always thought about doing it, and then

823
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 6: during the pandemic when we were all home not doing

824
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 6: too much, put together an outline and started to write

825
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 6: some sample chapters and actually did it myself. No ghost writer.

826
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 6: I've always enjoyed writing and wanted it to be my voice,

827
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 6: my words, and tell a lot of stories about about

828
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 6: some of the memorable games, including the ones I just

829
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 6: mentioned to you guys. There's some travel tales, you know,

830
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 6: travel stories. We all have some of those in our

831
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 6: back pocket growing up, you know, around sports casting, as

832
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 6: you mentioned with with my father and two uncles who

833
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 6: were played by play broadcasters. And then get getting my

834
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 6: first job calling minor league hockey and riding the bus

835
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 6: for two years, you know, six eight ten hour bus

836
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 6: rides with the team and an experience that I look

837
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 6: back on so fondly. Would never trade those two years

838
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 6: in for anything. And then the early years at Fox

839
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 6: and with the NHL and Madison Square Garden and working

840
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 6: down in Washington as well, you know, right up until

841
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 6: I was able to include that crazy Raiders Patriots game.

842
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 6: Snuck it in after the deadline. So it's a compilation

843
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 6: of stories from the last thirty plus years and hopefully

844
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 6: you guys can check it out.

845
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: No, absolutely again, that is a mic for all seasons.

846
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 3: The book is coming out soon with Kenny Albert who

847
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: joins us. A great segue because you're the only broadcaster

848
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 3: going right now currently handling play by play for all

849
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: four major US sports NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, and

850
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: the NHL. I love your NHL stuff. I mean, I

851
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: love everything, obviously, but I love how good you are

852
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: NHL wise. But you've had with the NFL. You've done

853
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: every team at least three times. Some teams in the NFC, Kenny,

854
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 3: at least sixty times. Do you know which team in

855
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: the NFC you've done the most.

856
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 6: I know they talented up a couple of years ago

857
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 6: my guess would be I'll throw out the New York Giants, right,

858
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 6: Atlanta and Arizona as probably the teams that are up

859
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 6: there as far as fifty or sixty times through the years,

860
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 6: you know, thirty years. It would only be two per year,

861
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 6: right for a specific team. Once in a while we'll

862
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 6: get four or five games of a specific team. One year,

863
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 6: we actually had sort of an anomaly three Colts home

864
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 6: games two years ago.

865
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: I remember.

866
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, as you guys know, things have changed

867
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 6: a little bit as far as the television rules, so

868
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 6: there are more crossover games. AFC games on Fox and

869
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 6: NFC games on CPS. So we actually had your first

870
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 6: two games two seasons ago and then late in the

871
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 6: season game against the Raiders. But no, as far as

872
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 6: the question, no, I appreciate the kind words about hockey,

873
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 6: and so fortunate to have worked many years with NBC

874
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 6: and now with TNT and great partners and Eddie Olzek

875
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 6: and Keith Jones the last two years, and now Brian

876
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 6: Bouchet coming in this year, and we had the opportunity

877
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 6: to call the Stanley Cup final Vegas in Florida. But

878
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 6: no real fortunate to be involved in all four with

879
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 6: Madison Square Guard, and I also do Rangers Radio and

880
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 6: then fill in on some mixed TV games and as

881
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 6: I cover in the book, actually, there are many others

882
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 6: who have done all four. I guess I'm the only

883
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 6: one currently and it's really a product of, you know,

884
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 6: the networks that I work for Fox. Obviously football, and

885
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: then I do some baseball as well, and then hockey

886
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 6: with MSG and Turner and basketball for MSG. But there

887
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 6: are so many other great broadcasters out there, you know

888
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 6: that have done two or three different sports, you know,

889
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 6: whether it's a Mike t Rico, Sean McDonough, Iron Eagle.

890
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 6: You know. I can go on and on, but I'm

891
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 6: very fortunate to be involved and love, love, really love

892
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 6: all four. And one one more note on the book

893
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 6: if you don't mind the forwards. Very honored to have

894
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 6: had a couple of colleagues in the broadcasting world. But also,

895
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 6: you know, among the greatest athletes of all time, Wayne

896
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 6: Gretzky and wal Clyde Fraser wrote the forwards my book

897
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 6: so bad. It's kind of surreal. It's surreal to look

898
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 6: on the cover and see their names on there.

899
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 3: Well, last couple of ones from me, you talk about

900
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: your father, and coming from that great podcasting family, if

901
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: you will, I think the story goes your mom and

902
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: dad gave you a tape recorder when you were like

903
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 3: five years old to practice play by play, to kind

904
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 3: of scratch that itch as a youngster, and then by

905
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: the age of fourteen, you're keeping stats. You're the official

906
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 3: stat guy or stat kid in this case for the Rangers,

907
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: the New York Rangers on radio, for the radio broadcasts.

908
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 3: Like did you know again at the five six years old,

909
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 3: did you know like I was going to become Kenny

910
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: Albert coming from the family that you come from.

911
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 6: Well, they did give me the tape recorder, okay, as

912
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 6: a birthday present. I don't think they necessarily, you know,

913
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 6: I was never once told you.

914
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: Have to do this or you have to go and

915
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 3: of course right.

916
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 6: Broadcasting, but they did give me a toy tape recorder.

917
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 6: And then I took it upon myself to start announcing

918
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 6: games off the TV in my bedroom and right, you know,

919
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 6: just growing up around it, you learn so much by osmosis.

920
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 6: And I equated to kids who have parents as doctors

921
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 6: and lawyers, and so many go into their parents' professions,

922
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 6: you know, not in the broadcasting world, but in so

923
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 6: many other walks of life, so you know, growing up

924
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 6: around it, getting to go to games and tag along

925
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 6: and keep stats for him. As you mentioned, it was

926
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 6: just so valuable. And yes, I always wanted to do

927
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 6: what I remember back when I was, you know that,

928
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 6: age five, six seven, It was just so much fun

929
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 6: and I would bring my friends to games. And then

930
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 6: the really big break, which I also write about in

931
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 6: the book. When I was in tenth grade growing up

932
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 6: on Long Island, so this would have been January of

933
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 6: eighty four. I was about to turn sixteen at the time.

934
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 6: A local cable station Cox Cable of Great Neck, from

935
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 6: a neighboring town, came to my school to film a

936
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 6: girls basketball game and they had two cameras a production

937
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 6: van and that was it.

938
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

939
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 6: So I was introduced to the producer and he said,

940
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 6: we don't have any announcers. Do you want to do

941
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 6: the play by play? So I said sure. They clipped

942
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 6: the microphone onto my shirt and I sat in the

943
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 6: third row and all the people around me probably thought

944
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 6: I was crazy talking to myself, but I did have

945
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 6: a microphone on me, and then after the game, I

946
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 6: chatted with the producer again. We spoke on the phone

947
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 6: the next day and he offered me the opportunity to

948
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 6: call so many games the next two and a half years,

949
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 6: probably seventy five to one hundred games all around Long

950
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 6: Island high school basketball, football, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, some

951
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 6: Division III college games as well, And I felt like

952
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 6: I had such a head start because back then you

953
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 6: couldn't really do any of that until college. Now, there

954
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 6: are so many great high school programs to the late

955
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 6: Roy Menton who hired me back in nineteen eighty four

956
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 6: for cots Cable, just an unbelievable experience. And I would

957
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 6: bring my friends along as the color analysts so they

958
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 6: would help out, and really felt like getting those reps

959
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 6: went such a long way.

960
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: Last one for me, Kenny, when you think about the

961
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: scope of your career. So the first year Fox had

962
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, the starting quarterback of the Colts was Jim Harbaugh,

963
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: who's now the head coach at the University of Michigan.

964
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: He's fifty nine years old. Anthony Richardson was eight years

965
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: away from being born, and he's going to start this

966
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: game for the Colts on Sunday. Just when you think

967
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: about the scope of the athletes you've been able to

968
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: tell their stories and broadcast their games from you know,

969
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: the thirty years at Fox. Just what kind of hits

970
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: you of, you know, you kind of being the voice

971
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: and the person in the room for so many fans

972
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: who have watched the careers of everyone from Terrell Owens,

973
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: you know who you mentioned through Now the first game

974
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: Colts fans watch of a guy who they hope is

975
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: going to be here for the next twenty years is

976
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and you're going to be calling it.

977
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 6: Well, it's funny you mentioned that, because, well, first of all,

978
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 6: I remember my first game so clearly. It was yesterday,

979
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 6: was the anniversary. It was on nine to four, ninety four,

980
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 6: and it was the La Rams the year before they

981
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 6: moved to Saint Louis and now they're back, obviously hosting

982
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals. Buddy Ryan and Chuck Knox were the

983
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 6: head coaches. Jerome Bettis scored a touchdown in that game

984
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 6: the Rams before going to the Steelers. But my first

985
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 6: game in ninety six, year three was a Colts game,

986
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 6: and one of the reasons I remember I went on

987
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 6: my honeymoon in August of ninety six, and when my

988
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,479
Speaker 6: wife and I got back to our apartment at the time,

989
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 6: we had you know, packages waiting from the teams for

990
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 6: Week one, and it was a Colts game. And what

991
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 6: I remember, I'm pretty sure Jim Harbaugh started that game.

992
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 6: I still I save all my spotting boards, my charts.

993
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 6: I could send you guys a picture of it. I

994
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 6: could pull it out of my file cabinet right after

995
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 6: we're finished up here.

996
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: Please do please do them.

997
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, but what I remember actually was meeting for the

998
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 6: first time in the production meeting Tony Sarah Gusa as

999
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 6: part of our preparation for that game. And I would

1000
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 6: go on to work with Goose for eight years from

1001
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 6: two thousand and three, it was our first year together

1002
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 6: until twenty eleven or twelve. So one of my favorite people,

1003
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 6: you know. So sad last year when we all heard

1004
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 6: the news about Goose's passing, and I was so honored

1005
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 6: to to deliver the eulogy at his funeral last summer

1006
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 6: up in New Jersey, not too far from where I live.

1007
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 6: But think about it each and every day, keep in

1008
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 6: touch with the family, and there's obviously the Colts connection,

1009
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 6: But I remember sitting with with Goose in the production

1010
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 6: meeting getting ready for that first game way back in

1011
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety six.

1012
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: One other thing on that game, Kenny, that was Marvin

1013
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: Harrison's NFL debut.

1014
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 6: Oh wow, Okay, I didn't remember that, but I would

1015
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 6: have probably had that written down, you know, and you

1016
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 6: had that.

1017
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure you had that in your notes.

1018
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 3: You've definitely had that.

1019
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 6: But I will send you, guys, as soon as we're done,

1020
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 6: I'll send you a picture of that, the spotting board

1021
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 6: from that game.

1022
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 3: It's amazing. Long time sports play by play man for

Speaker 3: But this is your five for Us Together?

1088
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is season five of Us Together.

1089
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 3: I did the math the other day. If my math

1090
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 3: is correct, which is always kind of sketchy, but if

1091
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,240
Speaker 3: I if my math is correct, I think the Bears

1092
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: game a couple of weeks ago in the preseason was

1093
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 3: my one hundredth game.

1094
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 4: Ya, Kenny Albert?

1095
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming for that record, that's right, baby, I only

1096
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: got thirty more years to go. Yeah, but between preseason,

1097
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: regular season and playoff games, I think it's it was

1098
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 3: number one hundred against the Bears. But five of my

1099
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 3: six years have been with you, lady. If you think

1100
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: our broadcast is okay or good or whatever. The reason

1101
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 3: why is because of the work behind the scenes. I

1102
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 3: should say that she does.

1103
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 5: On on the field, you are on the side much

1104
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 5: too gracious, because there's no one more prepared that is

1105
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 5: on a mic and play by play you are. We

1106
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 5: have a lot, we have a lot of fun Venturi

1107
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 5: up there as well. It is seriously, like you know,

1108
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 5: it's it's what is the Marvin Harrison quote, like they

1109
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 5: pay me to practice the games are free, right.

1110
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: That's kind of how it is. Like this is this

1111
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 4: is what it is.

1112
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 5: This is the hall of the build up and when

1113
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 5: you have an opportunity and this is nothing I will

1114
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 5: ever take for granted. We take for granted to Forrest Buckner,

1115
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 5: we take for granted Ziyre Frankel. We don't take for granted.

1116
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 5: Is the privilege of getting to walk on a field

1117

Speaker 5: on so in the NFL and get to call that

1118

1119
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 4: It's not a job.

1120
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 5: It is the greatest career and greatest gift so far professionally,

1121
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 5: and it's such a blast and so glad.
