Speaker 1: voice of the Colts Weekend and week Out, that is

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. A lot of business going on in the

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: football world this week May Day. We got sunshine outside,

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: we got cards rebbing up over at the track, the rookies,

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: the undrafted free agents, they are in town trying to

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: make this Colts roster. And then low and behold, Roger

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: Goodell finally, finally says, here is an NFL schedule. At

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: his release yesterday, we got it. We found out the

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: Colts will be playing their fair share of primetime games.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Jim Ursay will be happy on that. But when you

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: look at this schedule, mate, as a whole, We're gonna

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: break this thing down. When you look at it, there's

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: got some odds and ends, there's some speed bumps, there's

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: some rare stuff going on in the NFL with schedules

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I mean, if you look at the

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: CULT schedule, obviously it's frontloaded with AFC South games. You

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: play three of the first four, three of the first

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: four right out of the gate, and you play every

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: AFC South team on that first month. You know, five

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: of your six verse six AFC South games come in

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. In fact, the Colts

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: will play only one AFC South game in their last

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: ten and that is the regular season finale against the

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. So it is it is certainly challenging as

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: far as that is concerned. You've got a gauntlet there

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: in the middle half of the schedule. But get off

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to a good start those first two games, you know,

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: at Houston at Jacksonville, get off to a good start

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: for the AFC South, get off to a good start

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: in terms of the season as a whole, because obviously

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: the Colts have not won, you know, on Week one

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: since twenty thirteen. So I think urgency's gonna be high.

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Put your best foot forward, and then being the catbird

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: seat inside the AFC South around Halloween time. We're gonna

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: break down this schedule for the rest of the show,

44
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: among other things, because there is a lot going on here.

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: We caught up with Jolanni Woods, the big tight end.

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: He'sitting there. Got rookie minicamp this weekend going on, Gonna

47
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: find out how he's acclimating to the playbooks, see how

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: he's diving in. Matt Taylor with an exclusive coming up

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: with that. But back to this schedule. You're talking about

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: fired upcrowd, a sold out crowd for the third game

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: of the season, the first home game of the season,

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: and we got Patrick Mahomes coming in to Lucas Oil Stadium,

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: and I'm saying we're gonna be two and O riding

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: things high. Two and oh in the division. Dare I

55
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: say it? With Jacksonville and Houston on the front for

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: the first two but yeah, Matt, I'm chalking them up.

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: And then you got Mahomes coming in. We're gonna figure

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: out what's going on with this football team. This schedule

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: is really interesting because there's no layups. I mean there's

60
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: no there's no matchups on paper. As we sit here

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: and talk in may you know that are going to

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: be a guaranteed thing for the Colts. I mean, this

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: is the NFL that really doesn't exist, but you get

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, if you look at the

65
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: schedule from weeks two to eleven, Jeffrey, you play four

66
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: teams that wont at least ten games. You play eight

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: teams in that stretch that made the playoffs. You've got

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: Denver and Washington in there as well. Both of those

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: teams are going to be grossly improved from last year.

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: And then from weeks nine to thirteen, you play five

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: straight against playoff teams. You've got the Patriots, Raiders, Eagles, Steelers, Cowboys.

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Those teams last year were combined fifty thirty four and

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: one plus. That's the stretch right in front of the

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: bye week. And the bye week doesn't come until week

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: fourteen again this year, it's the latest bye week that

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the NFL offers. So the Colts are gonna go four

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: and a half months basically from the time that they

78
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: report for training camp until their bye week, four and

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a half months of a grind. And that stretch right

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: before the bye week, Man, that's gonna be a really,

81
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: really imperative stretch for the Colts to kind of weather

82
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: that put their best foot forward before they get some

83
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: real significant time off in week fourteen in mid December,

84
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: that is early December that they get that by, Like

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Maytay said, it's coming late in the season, latest one

86
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: offered by the NFL. So I don't know why I

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: like it, but I like it, Matt, because you know,

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: got a chance to sit by the barbecue for a

89
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: week and cool things off and then come back and

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: a barbecue in mid December. I love well, you know,

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: well if you get you get some time off these

92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, these young players go back home and stuff

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: like that. You know what I'm saying. But you just

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: talked about the stretches of this season. Okay, that's a

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: tough stretch when you're talking about back to back to

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: back to back to back playoff teams that coming in.

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: How about the How about a little love for the

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: two home games, the prime time games on a Sunday

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: or a Monday night, which is a first. All eyes

100
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: will be on Indianapolis again. Yeah. I thought the Colts,

101
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, going into it, before the schedule was released,

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: I thought the Colts would get three and maybe one

103
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: at home. But they got four and two at home.

104
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: So that's really really cool. And in fact, two Monday

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: night games at home for the Colts in the same

106
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: season for the first time since two thousand and five,

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: and the Colts will play their first home Monday night

108
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: er since two thousand and fifteen, so really really exciting

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: as far as that goes. You know, you've got the

110
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: day after Chrismas, You've got you know, the Monday following

111
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend. I'm sure there's gonna still be people in

112
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: town that are stay in town a little bit longer

113
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: to go to that game. Plus it's you know, marquee matchups, right,

114
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: You've got the Steelers on Thanksgiving weekend, you got the

115
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Chargers the day after Christmas. Surprised in a good way.

116
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: For the first time in a while, the Colts get

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: two home primetime games, both on Monday night. May Joe,

118
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I love the schedule. I mean, it doesn't matter what

119
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: comes out, it's gonna always be tough. There's gonna be

120
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: no layups in this league. You look at a couple

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: of games like maybe we can get that one there,

122
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, don't get me started. We all penciled in

123
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: that last game of the season last year down at

124
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: Jacksonville two real early in the season, we saw that

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: that app Yeah, that's a really good point. There's every

126
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: year there are and we talked about that earlier this week.

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: There are deceptive games on the schedule that are gonna

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: pop up and they're gonna be way more important than

129
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: than we think they are now. Like a team like

130
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: I think Washington again going to be grossly improved compared

131
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: to last year. Same thing with New England. I think

132
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: they're going to be even better than they were a

133
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: season ago, you know, in a second year from Mac

134
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Jones at quarterback and last year they made the playoffs.

135
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: I think the Giants could be better. You know in

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, that team that came in here and almost

137
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: beat the Colts. Kind of that deceptive you know ranking game.

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Cincinnati Bengals almost pulled off a victory.

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Last year, it was you know, the Raiders in Week seventeen, right,

140
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders had that late season push to get in

141
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: the postseason. They won four or five in a row

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, including beating the Colts, and we

143
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: didn't think at the midway point of the season that

144
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: would be a very big game. We thought the Raiders

145
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: were kind of, you know, down for the count. So

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: every year there's gonna be you know, games that pop

147
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: up that are going to be deceptively important, and the

148
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Colts are gonna have to I mean, there's no homecoming

149
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. This is the National Football League.

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's on scholarship. This is a really, really tough schedule.

151
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, especially with all of those AFC

152
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: South games, five of the six again coming before we

153
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: pass out candy on Halloween. You can find out more

00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna be talking some minicamp. The Colts rookie mini caamp

157
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: going on this weekend. May tell you had a chance

158
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: to catch up with the big man, Gilanni Woods, the

159
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: tight end out of Virginia. I can't wait for to

160
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: watch to see what this guy does. There's a lot

161
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: of talent the going up. Alec Pierce is out here

162
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: and you know, all complimenting, all complimenting the quarterback position

163
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan or running back position of Jonathan Taylor,

164
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: and one hell of an offensive line. May tell you

165
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: fired up. Oh, I mean in terms of the rookies

166
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: on the field this weekend for the rookie minicamp. You

167
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: talked about it, and we're gonna hear from him coming

168
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: up in just a second. I want to see Gilanni Woods.

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: I want to see that freak athleticism on the field.

170
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: I want to see it up close. I want to

171
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: see it from myself. I want to see six seven,

172
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: two fifty. I don't want to see that guy look

173
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: like a stretch four on the basketball court. I think

174
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: he's got tremendous upside. I think he'll play a lot

175
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: in that three man tight end rotation with mo Ale

176
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Cox and Kyl and Granson. And I just want to

177
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: see how he fills out that uniform where he lines

178
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: up on the field. You know initially how the Colts

179
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: are planning on using him. I think he can take

180
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: advantage of the seam against safety's linebackers and the yards

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: after the catch. I want to see him trucking people.

182
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: That big frame and that physicality that he played with

183
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State and at the University of Virginia. Man,

184
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,839

198
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it is alcohol, and then

00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, burning palettes in the big bonfire in the middle.

201
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,520

240
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Colts tight End is coming up in one second. You're

241
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna like this, young man. But first, Matt, we have

242
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: added to the roster again and I love this. I

243
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: love this edition. Signed veterans. Swing tackle Dennis Kelly. Swing tackle,

244
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: that's not a dance. That means he can play on

245
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: the left side, that means he can play on the

246
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: right side. He brings experience in depth to this old

247
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,599
Speaker 1: line unit that has lost quite a bit of experience

248
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: this offseason. Mark Lewinsky for starters, Chris Read another one.

249
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: Kelly has started fifty one games in his nine year career,

250
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: including stops in Philly, Tennessee, and Green Bay, and last

251
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: season he appeared in ten games with four starts with

252
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: the Packers. He spent the previous five seasons where we

253
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: got to know him real well. With the Titans. He

254
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: started all sixteen games at right tackle in twenty twenty. Matte,

255
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: what did we get in the big man, Dennis Kelly. Yeah,

256
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: don't forget about a former Produe Boilermaker too, right, So

257
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: he's got those tis his collegiately here up in West Lafayette. No,

258
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: I think it made a lot of sense. As you said,

259
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, this offseason the Colts lost Eric Fisher, Chris Reid,

260
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Mark Lewinsky on that offensive line. It's a lot of wisdom,

261
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: that's a lot of leadership, and he'll bring that that

262
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: veteran mentality to the group and also provide you some

263
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: flexibility by both right tackle and left tackle if you

264
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: need it. You know, offensive line depth is always big.

265
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Every team needs it. And remember, you know last year,

266
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts use ten different offensive lines starting

267
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: lineup combinations. Nine different guys started at least one game

268
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: last year for the Colts, including four different starters at

269
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: the left tackle position. So depth's going to be tested.

270
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: And with his experience and you know, with with his

271
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: you know time in the NFL, he's gonna play and

272
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be relied upon. There's no question about that.

273
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: So this is a really good sign in terms of

274
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: depth and reliability and a guy that you can trust

275
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: to play at a high level if you need him

276
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: to at several different spots in a pinch. Huge signing.

277
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Love it, love what love what Ballard's doing with the

278
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: rookie sprinkling man. And he's not done yet. Just remember

279
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: I said that he is not done yet. This roster

280
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: is still forming, So don't worry. We're still in good shape.

281
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: There's good players out there that are free agents, there's

282
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents. We're gonna get a look at this

283
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: weekend included on that I can't wait. It's gonna be great.

284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: But the rookie classes coming into All Eyes are on

285
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce, Gilani Woods to name a few, and they

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: are in town this weekend getting their first taste of

287
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. After today's rookie mini camp session was over, Mate,

288
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: he went one on one with the big tight end,

289
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: Gilanni Woods, immediately following his first rookie minicamp practice. Gilanni Woods,

290
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: rookie tight end, third round pick for the Cult set

291
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: of Virginia's with us Jilanni, what did you make of

292
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: your first NFL practice so to speak? I felt pretty

293
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: good today, definitely being the first day, you know, getting

294
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: out here, been moving, you know, getting back into the

295
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: football shape and everything like that felt pretty good, especially

296
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: learning with the new new coach, new team, just you know,

297
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: flying around just trying to be active pretty much. It

298
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: felt really good today. Has it hit you yet that hey,

299
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm in the NFL here? Oh? It definitely had, especially

300
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: like just how the day win and the meetings and

301
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: then the way we move around and stuff like that.

302
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: The accountability, you know, learning your assignment and stuff. Uh,

303
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: It's definitely was not a wake I wouldn't say a

304
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: wake up call, but it was definitely you know, surprising

305
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: like that. Oh yeah, I'm in the NFL now and up,

306
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: just getting preparation for practice, getting that extra work and

307
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It was felt pretty good. What did

308
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: you think of the speed of the practice, the intensity

309
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: of your first NFL workout? It was pretty good. Um,

310
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad for me at Virginia, at Oaklahoman State,

311
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the schools I came from, this kind of type of

312
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: practice we had anyway, so I'm pretty much used to

313
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: these type of practices, the uptempo jogging in east drill,

314
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, being very attacking, these drill techniques rep So

315
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm pretty used to it. And I know, of course,

316
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: I know the veteran's not out here, but today was

317
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: really good. What's life been like for you since hearing

318
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: your name called by Indianapolis on draft Day? It's been

319
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: pretty true. It's nothing crazy, just working out, trying to

320
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: get ready for like today, and then of course having

321
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: meetings with my coach. So it really wasn't anything you know,

322
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: crazy or spectacler or anything like that. What's what's your

323
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: first impression of the Cults playbook? I love it. Like

324
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I already knew how it was going

325
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: to be right just actually being here now and seeing

326
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I love it a lot. What is it about the

327
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: playbook and the scheme that you think can accentuate what

328
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you do in terms of, you know, your strengths as

329
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: a player. I would definitely just say it lets you

330
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: play comfortable, and it lets you be a thinker too,

331
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: and it just gives you opportunity to make plays a

332
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: lot a lot of plays. So it's pretty just cut

333
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: and simple when it comes to doing a job and

334
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: what you have to do. When you were exposed to

335
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: this playbook for the first time, as you said, you

336
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: played in the East West Shrine game with offensive coordinator

337
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Brady and tight ends coach Clayton Adams. How much

338
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: of a head start do you think that experience is

339
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: giving you now seeing the playbook as a rookie, that's

340
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: definitely letting me play fast, faster. I'm not really thinking

341
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: too much when it comes to what i have to do,

342
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: so that's one thing that's helping me. In A former

343
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: quarterback in college at Oklahoma State, how do you think

344
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: you your former quarterback time allows you to be a

345
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: better tight end. It helps me read coverage is pretty well.

346
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: I can understand the displacements and where everybody is supposed

347
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: to be at the end of the snap, and I

348
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: can kind of just know the linebackers what they're supposed

349
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: to do, what the corner is supposed to do. So

350
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: it definitely helps me. Uh, Like I said, I played

351
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: some monter and play faster. Have you talked to Matt

352
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Ryan yet? No? I have, Well I have a little bit,

353
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: but not. Yeah, what do you make of your prospects

354
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: with him? How do you think a guy like that,

355
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: with all of his experience can help a player like you. Oh,

356
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: definitely just giving me all the knowledge I can get

357
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: just trying to be under his nose and you know,

358
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: just be a book bag. Book bag, well, I can

359
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: just you know, keep picking whatever sure how to do

360
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: from them, just to learn really much pretty much. And

361
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: a guy like mo Ali Cox, what have you made

362
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: of his game when you watch his tape? What stands

363
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: out to you? He's a big specimen, pretty much, very

364
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: physical up, tell he's very smart, and tell you he's

365
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: just gonna make plays if you want to us And

366
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of see myself like that as well. Like, uh,

367
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: pleasure how he plays and just watch him on films.

368
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: So it was also your first couple of days in Indianapolis.

369
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: What do you make of this city? What do you

370
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: what do you think it's around city? It's a really

Speaker 1: on Serri Sex sim four or five years ago. I've

412

Speaker 1: in a third from Virginia and they picked up Drew

458
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Ogletree in the sixth from Youngstound State. When was the

459
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: last time the Colt draft died two tight ends in

460
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: the same draft? And who were they? Mate? You don't

461
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: have to go back that long. I mean, it's it's

462
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: this one. It's about ten years ago. There's a hint there,

463
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: you go, I can do this one. I knew this

464
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: one two thousand and twelve, the same draft with Andrew

465
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Luck and t Y Hilton. I think in the second

466
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: round they picked up Kobe Fleaner out of Stanford, and

467
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: then with the very next pick and round three they

468
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: go back to back tight end Clemson tight end Dwayne Allen. Yeah,

469
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: that's right, Dwayne Allen, the award winning tight end went

470
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: in the third round Kobe Fleaner from Stamford the second.

471
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: Then it wasn't that the t Y Hilton draft too,

472
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: I believe it was. It was the third round to

473
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: grab ty so Auto Fleaner Dwayne Allener. And those are

474
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: some great picks by by Bruce Arians. I loved what

475
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: he saw in these two tight ends with this offense

476
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: because he was here and he said, hey, here's what

477
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to run this offense around number twelve. That

478
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: was two big tight ends and a speed merchant in

479
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. So well done out there. If you

00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,960

Speaker 1: the Midwest. Today, the Colts signed four of their draft

492
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: picks from the twenty twenty two NFL Draft, including Eric

493
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: Johnson got signed Ogletree who you just mentioned, the big

494
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: tight end, defensive tackle Curtis Brooks, Rodney Thomas the defensive

495
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: back he got signed. The Colts up also announced the

496
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: signings up twenty two undrafted free agents. That complete list

497
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: is on Colts dot com right now. Does the regular

498
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: Are we going to see an undrafted free agent when

499
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster comes up this year? Colts

500
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: did not have it first last year for like the

501
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: first time in twenty or twenty one year or something

502
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: like that. Is this year they go back an undrafted

503
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: free agent makes this roster? Yes, absolutely, you're right. It's

504
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: it was twenty two out of the last twenty three years.

505
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one broke a streak of twenty two consecutive

506
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: seasons where an undrafted free agent was not on the

507
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Colts Week one regular season roster. Death last year was

508
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: a pretty set in terms of veterans. That's not the

509
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: case this year. I think, you know, if you look

510
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: at the offensive line, there might be a need there

511
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: in terms of depth, maybe defensive tackle, maybe linebacker. Also

512
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: too at running back. And it sounds crazy to say

513
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: when you have Jonathan Taylor, nine Hines, but you usually

514
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: keep four. At least you could keep four and he

515
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: got Taylor, Hines and Dion Jackson, who was a rookie

516
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: last year out of out of Duke, another undrafted free agent,

517
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: but he was not on the Week one roster. I

518
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: think you could see maybe two or three make the

519
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: regular season roster this year because of depth pieces being

520
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: open on the back end of the roster. There's gonna

521
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: be some new faces on this Colts roster. Colts fan,

522
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: so get acclimated with it again. Find out what you

523
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: need at as far as the Colts undrafted rookie free

524
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: agent class goes at Colts dot com and look at

525
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: this roster. We got it coming up at the end

526
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: of the July. It is for real. The schedule released

527
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: that said it. Hey man, football is in the air.

528
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: I love it. Mattad can't wait. And speaking of football,

529
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: have you heard about Tom Brady and his new gig?

530
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: I have thirty seven and a half million dollars a

531
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: year a year for jumping from the field where it's

532
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: probably I don't even know what his contract calls for

533
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: right now, this late in his career. He can, you know,

534
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: he can basically can tell him, Yeah, whatever you want.

535
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: If it's fifty million up e mahomes get it. But

536
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: he's jumping off the fielding up into the booth for

537
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: almost forty million a year. He's signed with Fox. He's

538
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: going to do games as their lead analyst, and he'll

539
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: do some special projects. Should be fun. Let me ask

540
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: you this go ahead, why do you think TV networks

541
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: now are throwing enormous amounts of money at NFL analysts?

542
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: Because I know there's some fans out there that are

543
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: going to tune in just to hear what a guy

544
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning or Drew Brees or Tom Brady has

545
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: to say. But most NFL fans are going to watch

546
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: these games because of the matchups regardless of who's in

547
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: the booth. Why do you think they're prioritizing so much

548
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: money and so many resources into games where people are

549
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna watch him regardless and the ratings are gonna be

550
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: good regardless of who's in the booth. Well, because I

551
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: think it's I mean, this is partly right, partly wrong.

552
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I guess whatever, But what Romo did, what Romo did,

553
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Tony Romo was the you know,

554
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: the straw that stirted his strength. We've had great players

555
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: in the booth for years upon years upon years, you

556
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You get somebody with a personality

557
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: like Troy Aikman versus Tony Tony Romo, but Romo's a

558
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun Romos. You know, get seeing what Peyton

559
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: Manning did last year with Eli, seeing what these you know,

560
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: these greats, And I mean that's the thing. There's there's

561
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: retired players, and then there's great retired players. When you

562
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: talk about in the Mannings and Bradys and stuff, that's

563
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: when our ears perk up, because hey, they're not regular guys.

564
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: They're not regular Joe's that are going to sit next

565
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: to a booth, but they are in reality up there,

566
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. They're they're paying this top

567
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: dollar to get the big names and the lock them

568
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: down for ten years. That's exactly what Fox did. And

569
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: I bet Brady brings that thing with his production company

570
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: even into a bigger role with the box money and

571
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: do and stuff with his wife that they do around

572
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: the world as far as entertainment goes. So I think

573
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: this guy's a limit for Tom Brady. You know, he's

574
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: doing it the right way. He's saying, I don't know

575
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna finish play in football, but when I am,

576
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be getting you know, almost forty million a year.

577
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Well done, Tom, Yeah, I mean I think you're riding

578
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: in the networks. They want high profile, big name, intelligent,

579
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: popular analysts on the biggest games. I think the high

580
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: profile former player on the call just kind of as

581
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: the cherry on top makes the game even bigger. But

582
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: that being said, I just don't know too many people

583
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: that are tuning into a game just for the announcing crew.

584
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: But it's the NFL. It's it's king, like we said,

585
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, as soon as CBS went with Tony Romo,

586
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: everybody kind of had to follow his suit and then

587
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: it was just kind of an arms race, if you will,

588
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with the Joneses, with the networks,

589
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: Mary Telly. Free agency still around in the NFL. We're

590
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: cutting your loose, getting ready for a big weekend. I

591
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: want to throw some names at you. What do you

592
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: think about these big time free agent names? Do any

593
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: of them come to Indianapolis? Are these guys playing football?

594
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Jadeveon Clowney, Odell Beckham, Junior, Trey Flowers,

595
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Jarvis Landry Melbourne, Ingram, Rob Gronkowski, Fisher who

596
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: was here last year, justin Houston who we are familiar

597
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: with that Keem Hicks, Dwayne Brown, our own, t Y Hilton? Mate?

598
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: What gives? What's going on? What are these veterans going

599
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: to get signed? Yeah? I think it's interesting nowadays teams

600
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: are waiting until later in the offseason to sign these

601
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: older free agents to see, you know, what they did

602
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: in the early part of free agency and the draft,

603
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: kind of evaluate you know what your team holes are,

604
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: roster holes heading into Mini camp in June. I also

605
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: think teams want to get past the deadline for signings

606
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: to be counted in that comp pick formula, which by

607
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: the way, that was last week. And then all of

608
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: those guys that you just mentioned, those guys have already

609
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're veterans, and most of them have been
