00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 4: Free agency starts Monday where teams can start talking with

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 4: outside free agents and then started the new league year,

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,760

Speaker 2: dot Com. I'll have all the latest of what happens

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: next week and it is starting off. We're also gonna

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: dive headfirst into the quarterback competition. That was a buzz,

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: if you will, around the recent NFL combine. Mark Ross

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: is going to join us from the NFL Network to

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: talk about that. Plus we're gonna hear from Jim Miller

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: serious ExM NFL radio friend of the show.

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: Love that guy.

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: He's got some thoughts on the quarterback competition with Anthony

27
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Richardson as well. But Matt, let's get to what is

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: happening right now. Latest news is Raekwon Davis the Colts

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: defensive tackle. After one year they had him in this defense,

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: he was given some spells to Grover Stewart and to

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Forest Buckner. Won and done for Raqwon Davis.

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: What happened?

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: Well, I think, like you said, two year deal. Last year,

34
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: Davis probably didn't have the impact in the running game

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 4: the Colts were hoping for. Somebody's got a backup Grover

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: Stewart into Forest Buckner, and the reality has been the

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 4: last couple of years, Jeffrey, when those guys are off

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 4: the field, there is a noticeable drop off in defending

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: the sure interior running game when ninety nine and ninety

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: are not in the game. So, as of right now,

41
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: you don't have a lot of interior defensive line depth.

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: Tavin Bryan's a free agent. They still have out of

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: Tom Watabare. He hasn't played a big role in the

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: team just yet. So the Colts are going to have

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: to reinforce that position because Stewart and Buckner, they can't

46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: play at the rate they've been in terms of snap count.

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: Buckner played twelve games last year, played north of seventy

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: five percent of the defensive snaps in nine games. Stuart

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: played north of sixty percent and eight games last year.

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 4: So that's a lot of wear and tear on those guys.

51
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Well, who knows what they're gonna do to fill that

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: slot free agency or in the upcoming NFL Draft. Don't know,

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: but Raywon Davis no longer with the team, Matt, let's

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: get right to free agency because it gets a little

55
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 2: squirrely around here on Wednesday at four o'clock when it

56
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: starts some in house free agents, Will Fries, Ryan Kelly,

57
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: Julian Blackman, DIOA Dango, we talked about all week, EJ.

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: Speed, among others. The biggest position needs.

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: I can't even ask that question to you because I

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: don't know what's going to happen with some of these guys, Matt.

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: I can't give you the latest information on what Chris

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Ballard and his squad's been doing with these in house

63
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: free agents. But you know, the biggest positions of need

64
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: in free agency, and when I'm talking free agents, we're

65
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: talking veterans. Matt, do you have something off top of

66
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: your head?

67
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: Well, I mean in terms of like the hottest needs

68
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: for the team to address, I mean, in no particular order, safety, cornerback,

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: offensive line. Safety is big because Loui an arumos here now,

70
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: so that's big. That position has to play a big

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: part when it comes to disguise and being game specific.

72
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: You need smart, intelligent, high football IQ players at that spot.

73
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 4: Julian black Ben's a free agent at safety. Would he

74
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: fit that bill. He's coming off a shoulder injury that

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: forced him to play free safety most of last season.

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: Needed surgery on that the torn labram, So we'll figure

77
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 4: out where he's at starting next week. In terms of

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: the equation there, tight end is in need. We've talked about,

79
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: but is that a better play in the draft compared

80
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: to free agency. It's not a great free agency class.

81
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: The draft is really deep with great tight ends in

82
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: the first couple of rounds. Cornerback's a big one, right

83
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: even though the cults are still high on the upside

84
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: of Juju Brintz, He's had a really hard time staying

85
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: on the fields had a lot of injuries. I do

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: think they need some outside corner depth. They want to

87
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: play more press man coverage next, so maybe they target

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: somebody in free agency to do that. And then the

89
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: offensive line, because a you can never have enough depth

90
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: offensive line pieces, especially this year when you've got some

91
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: big questions in free agency Ryan Kelly, will Fries and

92
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: then again the uncertainty with Braden Smith.

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we know what Chris Ballard, He's not shy.

94
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: He tells you like it is and this is his

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: mentality last year. Keep your own mentality, you know, keep

96
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: those guys in the building. But said, hey, I've got

97
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: to go outside that comfort zone. How many outside free

98
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: agents do you expect? I mean, I know it's a

99
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: ballpark question, Matt, but if you said, okay, if Feller

100
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: gave you three or four or five outside free agents,

101
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: are you surprised at that A mind.

102
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 4: No, I think you're gonna see more moves in relation

103
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: to years past. Right, the window opens on Monday. Like

104
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: we talked about last year, the Colts brought back eleven

105
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: to fifteen in house free agents, and Chris said, hey,

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: it didn't produce enough competition on the roster. Guys got

107
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 4: complacent to a degree and it all added up to

108
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: eight to nine and missing out on the postseason again.

109
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: So the Colts once again have a lengthy in house

110
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 4: free agency list. But Ballard hinted last week. He hinted

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the season that he's he may

112
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: not take the same approach this upcoming offseason. So the

113
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: Colts have some definite needs to fill. And I think

114
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: you're gonna see the Colts be players and pop up

115
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: news wise and free agency next week, more so next

116
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: week than the have in years past.

117
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you'll be hearing the crumbs that are dropped

118
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: on Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday the official happens.

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: Mattie Let's change gears a little bit because I talked

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: about it earlier at the NFL Combine. The buzz around

121
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: when he talked about the Colts was Anthony Richardson and

122
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard's press conference saying, Hey, bringing that outside competition,

123
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: gonna have this this thing, and that goes across the board,

124
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: not just at the quarterback position, but to get better.

125
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: Not had the last couple of years the way that

126
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: they turned out be the norm here in Indianapolis. My

127
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: point is, quarterbacks cost money, Matt. If you want to

128
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: bring in a guy, a veteran like that, it's gonna start.

129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: It's gonna cost Chris Ballard and the front office some

130
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: money to bring in that competitor, whoever it is, to

131
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: do this. I mean, we have to look at the

132
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: monies on this thing. Is.

133
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have to balance two things, prudence

134
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: and the urgency to win and find that middle ground there. Right,

135
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: Can they go nuts and sign the top free agent quarterback?

136
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if they do that, is it really

137
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: a competition?

138
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: Then?

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: Even if Richardson wins the competition, can you afford to

140
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: have a thirty million dollars backup quarterback when you have

141
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: other needs on the roster? You follow what I'm saying.

142
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: So the quarterback they bring in, I think is likely

143
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 4: going to be somebody that's won games in the NFL,

144
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: has had reasonable success in the league, but hasn't stuck

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: with one team for whatever reason in the NFL, and

146
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: hopes to possibly become the next Sam Darnold or the

147
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: next Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith, right, guys that have had

148
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: career resurgence lately. But I do think there's gonna be

149
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: some urgency with this move at quarterback. They want to

150
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: push Anthony Richardson with a competition, and it's got to

151
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: be somebody that could win games if they beat Anthony

152
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: Richardson out. This goes back to what we've said a

153
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: lot this offseason. This team I would have won a

154
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: few more games last year with better quarterback play and

155
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: thus maybe could have made the playoffs. That's how important

156
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: it is.

157
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: We just left the combine last week. Jim Miller from

158
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: Serious XM NFL Radio was there. He's a friend of

159
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: the show. I'm gonna just say it. He didn't sugarcoat it.

160
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: We asked him about this and the situation that's the

161
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: Colts are facing at the quarterback position.

162
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: He had this to say.

163
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: He's raw and right now. To even say that there's

164
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: an open competition, it's just to me, it's laughable. And

165
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 5: I like Chris Ballard. He was with the Bears when

166
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 5: I was there. They knew this when they drafted him

167
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 5: and they anointed him. He was shocked that he was

168
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: I got named the starter already. He kind of was

169
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: like he couldn't believe it. They annointed him, and now

170
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: you can't go back so they can say, oh, we're

171
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: going to bring in a veteran and provide competition. The

172
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 5: veteran needs to sit behind Anthony Richardson while he gets

173
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 5: all the reps to get better. They missed out on

174
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: all that and how they brought him along, in my opinion,

175
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: missed his first year with the shoulder. He wasn't ready

176
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: to play. Then he shouldn't have been the starter. Thus

177
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: that's stunted his growth. And now here we are all

178
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: we're gonna put pressure on him. We're gonna bring in

179
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: a starter to compete. That's just nonsense right now, right now,

180
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 5: the only thing that's gonna better Anthony Richardson is he

181
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: needs to get all the reps. Why the veteran just

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: sits back and relaxes and does nothing and just gets

183
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 5: it all.

184
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: Mentally, Matt, what do you think does a competition help

185
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson?

186
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: I'm talking big picture in this game.

187
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: Listen, a lot of national NFL pundits want to see

188
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: the Colts go all in on Anthony Richardson and bypass

189
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: this competition idea, right because a QB competition where somebody

190
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: would split the reps with Anthony in the spring and

191
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: in training camp could stun his growth even more because,

192
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: like Jim said, he's raw needs all the reps that

193
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: he can get, you know, still having only played fifteen

194
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: games in the NFL so far. They argue that the

195
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 4: Colts need to know if Anthony Richardson can play and

196
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: what he can be in the NFL after his third season,

197
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 4: which is true objectively, I get it right, it's a

198
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 4: fair argument. On the other hand, hopefully Anthony Richardson uses

199
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: this time away in the offseason right now to his

200
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: fullest advantage. Hopefully he's maniacal right now about getting better

201
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: and playing quarterback at a higher level in the NFL.

202
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, you might have to split some reps to

203
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: a degree with a quarterback battle, but it was clear

204
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 4: starting last season with the benching, there was a disconnect

205
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 4: between what they were getting and the standard of excellence

206
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: it takes to play quarterback at a high level in

207
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: the NFL. Ideally, a quarterback battle pushes Anthony Richardson to

208
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: reach new heights and take his game to a different place.

209
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: You know, he wins the job and the Colts maximize

210
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 4: his unbelievable skill sets, which is why they drafted him

211
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: fourth overall two years ago. But what are you gonna do, Jeffrey,

212
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: Are you gonna wait around and hope it happens?

213
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 3: Do it? NFL owners don't like that mental and you.

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: Gotta start winning. Four straight years of missing the playoffs,

215
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: that's the fourth longest strout in the NFL. Right now,

216
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: you've got a good roster. You've got some key ingredients

217
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: that are in the primes of their career on both

218
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: sides of the ball. That's why this team is always

219
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: in every game. So you want it to be Anthony Richardson.

220
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: But if it's not because he gets beat out because

221
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: the development hasn't come, then so be it. The best

222
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 4: man needs to win the job.

223
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 3: Well, said Matt Taylor, hitting the nail on the head.

260
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: Bowl champion. Almost the general manager here Matt Taylor. He

261
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: was in the run and when Ryan Grigson was hired

262
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: by Zabra Say a few years back. But Russ is

263
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: also an NFL network analyst. Last week at the NFL Combine,

264
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: myself and Casey Value sat down with him on Radio Row.

265
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: Russ begins his thoughts on the colch quarterback competition this

266
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: offseason and pushing Anthony richardson.

267
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 6: You don't want to have two years after taking a

268
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: guy forth picking a draft. Let's say we're having a

269
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 6: quarterback competition. And what you have seen here so far

270
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 6: with him, he almost looks exactly the same as he

271
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: did at Florida. A lot of flashes would run in

272
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 6: getting hurt. The accuracy is off, the vision is off.

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 6: So that's what my concerns were with him, and a

274
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 6: lot watch him weekend and week out. You know, when

275
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 6: he's on the field, it's still you're seeing that same thing.

276
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 6: So now two years later you're saying, geez, we got

277
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 6: to start all over again, as opposed to a Jade

278
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 6: Daniel situation where they're going this way and we know

279
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 6: we got fifteen years of success hopefully with that guy.

280
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: Mark, do you do you bring in a veteran?

281
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: If this is you, you're looking at a franchise, you

282
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: bring in a quality veteran that's going to push this

283
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: young man. And also I want to ask about those

284
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: mid round quarterbacks draft. Are they in the mix of

285
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: the Colts goal?

286
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 6: Well, I would take as many swings as possible. If

287
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 6: you can't draft a guy, bring in a guy. You

288
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 6: know there's not going to be a lot of freezing quarterbacks.

289
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 6: Do you do, Sam Darnold? You you know they're not changing

290
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 6: your franchise. They may get you through a year or

291
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 6: two and make it interesting, but they're not changing the franchise.

292
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 6: They had the chance to change the franchise with Anthony. Now, okay,

293
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 6: now we take a swing in the second round with

294
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 6: that another quarterback or for whatever. But you have to

295
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 6: get better there or you're going to go through the

296
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 6: same thing again. So it's almost you're stuck if you're

297
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 6: the Colts. Unfortunately that where are we now? And okay,

298
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 6: maybe if we get bodies in the quarterback room, but

299
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 6: is that enough to go compete with the Texans of

300
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 6: the world and the big dogs in the AFC. That's

301
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 6: what you're really looking at.

302
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: Mark Ross right there from the NFL network, Let's look

303
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: at this draft. Let's take a bite out of this draft,

304
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: if you will. What's the beef. What's the beef, where's

305
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: the where's the meat of this draft? I guess is

306
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Is it on the offensive line? Is

307
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: that running back? What is it that has high quality players? Then?

308
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go there.

309
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 6: This might have been the best tight end group that

310
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 6: I have scouted.

311
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: I mean first rounders. You see, Mark, maybe five? Wow?

312
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: Maybe five that I did where each guy I watch,

313
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 6: you know, usually you watch a group of players and

314
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 6: there's some first rounds. Year the second round, they the

315
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 6: guy can't play. Every every tight end I did like, Yeah,

316
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 6: this guy's good, this guy's good, this guy's gonna play.

317
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 6: This guy's gonna be a first round pick. This guy

318
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 6: could be a pro Bowl player, and they're all kind

319
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 6: of different with what they do. You know, Warren's different

320
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 6: than leveland Who's different, uh, you know than fan In.

321
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: You know, they all have different skill sets of what

322
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 6: they do. So teams can really be creative of which

323
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 6: one of these guys that we really like that we

324
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 6: can use in our offense. So yeah, that's a corner

325
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 6: is a really good group. So I think with those

326
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 6: two groups, you know, if you need a receiver that's down,

327
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 6: but tight end corner when I watched those are the strong.

328
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: Mark in this NFL the way it is right now,

329
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: you're not gonna play if you can't block as a

330
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: tight end.

331
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: Is that accurate? You can get by.

332
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 6: We've seen Travis Kelsey block anybody in five years. They

333
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 6: find a way. So yeah, you just have to be

334
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: creative when you have one of those guys. And look,

335
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 6: when I first started in the league, you had had

336
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 6: a two hundred CENTI tight end.

337
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: You know.

338
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 6: Then it slowly slowly changed to the way the college

339
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 6: games spread out and they started using it where good

340
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 6: teams really use those athletic movement tight ends, and now

341
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 6: you see a lot lot more of that where offense

342
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 6: coordinators want those guys as opposed to now, if you

343
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 6: put your face in there, that's that's pretty much they

344
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 6: found a way to get through that.

345
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 7: You talk about Anthony Richardson and that taking that next step,

346
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 7: and it's a lot of the intermediate hitting the layups,

347
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 7: if you will, tight ends kind of be that security

348
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 7: blanket for young quarterbacks. So let's say the Colts, if

349
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 7: you're you know, put your GM hat on there at fourteen,

350
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 7: a couple of those tight ends are there. How much

351
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 7: of an improvement can one of those guys help in

352
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 7: Anthony's production?

353
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 6: Of course, the more infrastructure you have for him, the better,

354
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 6: and the more playmakers you have around him the better.

355
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 6: But it still comes down to him. And talk about

356
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 6: this with quarterbacks all the time. There's certain things that

357
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 6: quarterbacks do that no matter who's around them, it doesn't

358
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: affect them at all. They have he has to see it.

359
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 6: There's nobody. You can have twenty Pro bowlers around him

360
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: if he doesn't see it, it doesn't matter. He has

361
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 6: to go from one thing to the next. He has

362
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 6: to feel people around him. Those are traits and in

363
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: tangebas that quarterbacks have that nobody affects but themselves, and

364
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: those are really the things with Anthony Richardson that he

365
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 6: has to improve upon nobody, no matter if he's got

366
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 6: if he was on the Eagles, you know his accuracy.

367
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 6: No receiver is gonna help that. He has to get

368
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 6: better at those things.

369
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: Mark, what's this time of year for a free agency

370
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: like for a guy up in the front office like

371
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: you and your career, You're looking at free agents from

372
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: other teams and you guys want to save some nickels too.

373
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: At the same time, my point is, is there a

374
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: lot of overpriced, overpaid players this time of year? Oh,

375
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: and how does that affect the franchise?

376
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 6: You know, this is when you're desperately buying in free

377
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 6: agency because it's it's not like the draft where you

378
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 6: know it's got to fault to you. You can maneuver

379
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 6: somewhat in free agency, as we just talk about with

380
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 6: the money we got to go get this guy, you

381
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 6: can you have one hundred percent control over how much

382
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 6: money you're gonna throw at a guy, and that desperation.

383
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 6: We've seen it over and over where we need a receiver,

384
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 6: let's overpay for this guy. If you fit in and

385
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 6: you look at the draft as well, you say Okay,

386
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 6: Well there's it's not a strong group of receivers in

387
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 6: the draft, and you may Okay, now we got to

388
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 6: even pay more for this receiver that we really want.

389
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 6: So the best teams really stick to their plan and

390
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 6: don't overvalue and get desperate. Desperate shopping leads to bad decisions.

391
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Giants, Eagles, Bills, two time Super Bowl champion. Mark Ross

392
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: from the NFL networked last one for me. Over all

393
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: your years of watching tape, all your years, I mean

394
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: those late nights, those early mornings, Uh, give me one guy.

395
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: They came out of college, maybe two, maybe three that

396
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: are absolute cannot miss. If they're available, we're taking them.

397
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 6: Well, I'll go back to McNabb, DONALVD McNabb. That was

398
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 6: my second draft. I was twenty four years old. I

399
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 6: was the area scout in the Northeast, and I've spent

400
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 6: so much time with Donovan and I'm so proud of him,

401
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 6: just because all he had to go through with the Eagles.

402
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 6: Fans want Rickey Williams and him and booted the draft,

403
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 6: that whole thing with Donovan. But that was the first

404
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 6: view for me of I completely believe in this. On

405
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 6: the table, I got you gotta keep fighting. You gotta

406
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 6: keep fighting. And even amongst our room where there was

407
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 6: other quarterbacks that were scouts, are fighting for their guys

408
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 6: and you know like, oh, this is the dude. He's

409
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 6: gonna he's gonna do it. So you know, I'm still

410
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 6: so proud of that, and we'll always that taught me

411
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: for the rest of my career. You believe in somebody

412
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 6: trus you gotta fight and you gotta go for it.

413
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 6: So he's always the one. My first draft was trade Thomas,

414
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 6: big left tackle in Florida State that I love too,

415
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 6: but number two donvand was that there was so much

416
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 6: back and forth. There's so much controversy with him, and

417
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 6: it's like, yeah, we were right about this, yeah and

418
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 6: the rest. Yeah, we can go on and on, but

419
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,200
