00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Official Colts Podcast Dot Jeff vic Gorhum

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: and joined weekly by Missus Lara Overton and JJ stink

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: if it's covering the Colts like no other.

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Today is a great show.

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: We have a very special international surprise, which we don't

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: bring in international surprises a lot on this show.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 3: But today in domestic surprise.

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: That's true, no surprises a lot, but there is one today.

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: This is an international superstar who's going to be saying

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: hello to you later on in the show. More of

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: that to come before, folks. We've got the combine behind

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: us right now. You were both were down there doing

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: the legwork talking to the people that it is. We

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: heard Chris Ballard, we heard Shane Steichen. Now we have

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: to fill out this roster. There are voids on this roster.

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: There are voys on this roster that we don't know

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: yet if those voids are there yet.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: JJ.

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: It's a tough time of year because you're looking at

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: obviously the Combine and the players that could fill some needs.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: You're looking at free agency which is right around the corner,

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: and Chris Ballard has spoken about, Hey, we've got a

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: ways to go. We've got to fill out this roster

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: and we've got to get better. So I want to

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: start with you when we talk about it. We've spoken

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: about this letter in the last couple of weeks. I

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: want to start at the quarterback position and the competition

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: that's been spoke of again and again and again. Does

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: this look like a free agent that comes in give

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: some competition to Anthony Richardson? And my question is, and

31
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: I'll shut up, is there also a rookie that's looked

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: at that is brought in.

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 5: I think there's a really good chance that it's both.

35
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 5: That you will see a free agency brought in and

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: you'll also see a rookie, because I mean, look at

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 5: this step you all you have to do is look

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 5: at the depth chart. I'm not breaking news here, but

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco is a free agent and Sam Allener is

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: a free agent. If you don't bring either of those

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: guys back, you probably have room on your roster for

42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: a veteran backup or a veteran to compete with Anthony Richardson,

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 5: I should say, and a rookie who could also compete there.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: So I think that just makes sense that the Colts

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: would go that route. Now, you could look at Okay,

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 5: got Jason Beane as potentially a guy if you liked

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: what he saw to him on the practice squad last year,

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 5: maybe he gets a chance to compete. But I think

49
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 5: you're probably gonna see the Colts, you know, kind of

50
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 5: double dip in that room this offseason.

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Lara, you were down at the combine and so I'm asking,

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: and all the scouts are there, Chris Ballard and his

53
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: staff they were looking at quarterbacks.

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: It's just what they do. I mean, they do that

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: every year. You have every year, or they know about

56
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: the rooks.

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 6: And well and not just so you know about the rookies,

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 6: but another reason that they do their due diligence, and

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 6: this is something that we learned by working with the

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 6: scouts through with the next pick and behind the Colts,

61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 6: is sometimes you may not draft a guy at a

62
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 6: particular position quarterback included, but if he becomes a free

63
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 6: agent in four years, you've already done the legwork on

64
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 6: the background of him. You know, Hey, we liked him

65
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 6: coming out. This is an opportunity now that we might

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 6: be able to get him. We're gonna pursue it now.

67
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 6: Because just because you don't draft a guy doesn't mean

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 6: you're never going to cross paths with that guy again,

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 6: right like you probably went back, you know for you know,

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 6: when you think about bringing in you know, when you

71
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 6: brought in Carson Wentz, for example, you probably looked at

72
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 6: Carson Wentz in the draft process already, so you already

73
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 6: had a body of work in addition to then looking

74
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 6: at that thinking about how he interviewed, how you know

75
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 6: you just for one, you know, various example, then you

76
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 6: ended up bringing him in later in his career. So

77
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 6: certain times there are opportunities to trade for a player

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 6: or to acquire a player in free agency that it's

79
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 6: really beneficial to have already had some sort of experience

80
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 6: in you know, spending time you know, on campus pro days.

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 6: Combine those different situations, because what you want to do

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: is not just have whether you're drafting a guy signing

83
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 6: a free agency, you don't just want one touch point

84
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 6: on a guy, or you're relying on hey, okay, this

85
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 6: guy played previously in you know, played for the Minnesota Vikings.

86
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 6: Say oh, we're all that we can go off of.

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 6: Is what Minnesota tells us about. You can't put yourself

88
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 6: in that type of a position. So that is one

89
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 6: of the reasons you see whether or not you are

90
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 6: really going to make a move at a particular position

91
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 6: that particular draft, You're still going to do the work

92
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: there and you know, exhaust everything because while you have

93
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 6: these guys in your backyard, you get them for these

94
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 6: meetings of twenty minutes or whatever it is. You get

95
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 6: to meet with the head coach, you get to meet

96
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 6: with the position group specific guys. Those are really valuable

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: evaluation points of these various guys.

98
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: It's why the whole have you met with the team

99
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: during the combine isn't really news because Okay, so think

100
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: about like twenty twenty one, you brought up Carson Wentz.

101
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: The Colts traded for Carson Wentz that year, and that

102
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: deal was kind of agreed to before the Combine, right,

103
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: But I believe the Colts still met with quarterbacks at

104
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 5: the Combine, or they met with quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl,

105
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: or they had them in for thirty whatever it was.

106
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 5: Because you have to do your due diligence years in advance.

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: So even if you have Andrew Luck coming off of

108
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: a great year in twenty eighteen, in twenty nineteen, if

109
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: I had to guess, the Colts did their homework on

110
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: quarterbacks that year. You never know who's gonna become available,

111
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 5: when they're gonna become available, and if you might need

112
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: to go back to that evaluation and say, we like

113
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: what this guy did, we don't like what this guy did,

114
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: to better inform you on a decision you might need

115
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: to make five, six, seven years down.

116
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 6: The road and look the Philadelphia Eagles, Like I have

117
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 6: not talked to Howie Roseman, but I bet Howie Roseman

118
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 6: and his staff are probably still looking at quarterbacks, you know,

119
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 6: like they're just gonna look at quarterbacks in the draft.

120
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're probably gonna look at running backs in the draft.

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: Not saying that anyone.

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 6: Is going to supersede Jalen Hurtz or Saquon Barkley, but

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 6: you have to look at those, you know, various positions.

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 3: It's just what you do.

125
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

126
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 5: I think that's such an important point, is that this

127
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 5: period of the year you're building your draft board, you're

128
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 5: setting your draft board, but you also do have to

129
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: be forward thinking about it. You can't be siloed into

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: this is just for this year, because I mean and

131
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: also too, you never know what's going to happen in

132
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: the draft, if you have a like a top line

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: grade on a guy, yes, and all of a sudden

134
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: he's sitting there in the second round and you don't

135
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: quote unquote need him, but you're like, this guy's a

136
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: difference maker, go ahead and take him. Like that stuff

137
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 5: can happen. So just because you know the Colts did

138
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 5: their due diligence or whatever it is, like, it doesn't

139
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: want I went on this rant last week on the Pods.

140
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do it again about to have

141
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: you met with the Colts. Oh, it doesn't matter. So

142
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm not gonna do it, and I'm just

143
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: gonna stop right, thank you before I do it again, Okay,

144
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 5: because it it's a you want to grind my gears?

145
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no one wants to grind.

146
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: My favorite thing to do though, at the combine is

147
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 5: to walk up to like an Eric at home and

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: just be like, hey, Eric, good to see you.

149
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 4: Now you've met with the Colts.

150
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, see yeah, I just got a point there.

151
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 6: One thing that I was listening to so got to

152
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 6: catch up with Courtney Cronin of ESPN, good friend of

153
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: ours obviously, And one thing that I was hearing from

154
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 6: her just this morning. Actually, I was going to meet

155
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 6: JJ for workout. As a matter of fact, we've spent

156
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 6: a lot of time together already today, already today, And

157
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 6: so Corney was discussing that the Minnesota Vikings are not

158
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 6: going to franchise tag Sam Darnald. He's obviously one of

159
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 6: those probably more sought after free agent quarterbacks. How does

160
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 6: that maybe kind of I don't want to say reshape,

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 6: but like, how does that kind of be the first

162
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 6: domino to fall in terms of the quarterbacks who are

163
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 6: available and what the implications may be for teams that

164
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: are exploring options at that position.

165
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: Right, because Sam Darnald or not Donald excuse me, Matthew

166
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: Stafford was kind of the first domino. He goes back

167
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 5: to La Now it's Donald and we're recording this at

168
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 5: ten forty I think it was reported that the Vikings

169
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: are not going to use the franchise tag on Darnald.

170
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: Does that push him down? Does that now kind of

171
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: push the rest of the quarterbacks down a little bit

172
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: in the pecking order of like if you are you know,

173
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 5: if you're the Raiders and you need a quarterback, how

174
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 5: does Sam Darnald now being available impact what you're gonna do,

175
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: and then that has a trickle down effect all the

176
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 5: way down to the Colts with who could be available

177
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: among the free agents who are out there, who you

178
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 5: want to bring in for Anthony Richardson to compete with him?

179
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: Safe to say that a veteran will be brought in

180
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: and you're not surprised. We love that segment. Not surprised

181
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: if for rookie comes in. Guys, I'm gonna roll around

182
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the position groups of this offense, then go into defense. Larry,

183
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: you talked about running backs a little bit ago. We

184
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: got Trey Sermon, got Tyler Goodson, but obviously Jonathan Taylor.

185
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Does that room look similar to you next year with

186
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: those three guys or is it a complete overhaul through

187
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: the draft and or free agency? We saw, we saw

188
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years what it meant not

189
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: to have a quality veteran running back. No knock on Goodson,

190
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: no knock on Sermon. But Zach must did a nice

191
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: job a couple of seasons.

192
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 6: Awa, and Goodson's back, right, Goodson's already signed, So you've

193
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 6: got j T.

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: I do think you're gonna look different.

195
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 6: I think you want to bring in something that is

196
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 6: a bit of a change of pace for that running

197
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: back room because you saw the production so drastically drop

198
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 6: off when Jonathan Taylor was not on the field, and

199
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: the workload that Jonathan Taylor carried in twenty twenty four

200
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 6: was immense, right, And not to say that he can't

201
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 6: continue to be he's obviously your bell cow guy, but yes,

202
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 6: you kind of go back and when you did have

203
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: I mean, I even think about, like, you know, when

204
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 6: it was Jonathan Taylor and Naim Hines, Jonathan Taylor and

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 6: Zach Moss and how much value ispower?

206
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: Talked a lot about Zach Moss last week.

207
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 6: You know how I feel, right love Zach Moss, and

208
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 6: I just think that it really benefited this offense, especially

209
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 6: when you have a mobile quarterback, a running quarterback like

210
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 6: an Anthony Richardson, to really have to keep defenses on

211
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 6: their toes, make them play back in their heels by

212
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 6: having to consider all of these different ways that you're

213
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 6: able to run the football. Is it, you know, is

214
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 6: it five and twenty eight on the field? Is it

215
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 6: five and insert of the running back? Is it five

216
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 6: and two running backs on the field?

217
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: In particular situation, I think one of.

218
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: The biggest questions I have is is whoever, whatever the

219
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 5: Colts do hind Jonathan Taylor, is that guy brought in

220
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: to be a compliment to him? So you're thinking, like

221
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 5: your third down back, your guy's in there as a

222
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: pass pro guy, you can catch the ball out of

223
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: the backfield. Or is he more like Zack Moss Where

224
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: Zach Moss was just he was RB two and it

225
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 5: was the Hey, you can put him in at any

226
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 5: point in the game and you're gonna feel good about him.

227
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: That that's a really because Nahim was kind of more

228
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 5: of your compliment, yes, and Zach Moss is kind of

229
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: more of your your really good backup, your high end backup.

230
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: So what direction you do the Colts go kind of

231
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: based on those two archetypes. I don't know, and I'm

232
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: really interested.

233
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Not surprise guys if a veteran comes in. Not surprised, No,

234
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: not surprised, No.

235
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: But it's also be surprised if you drafts someone.

236
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: I mean super deep draft for running backs.

237
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

238
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: Someone was saying that they were like I think maybe

239
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 5: it was McShay, that there were like thirty four draftable

240
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: running backs this year who he liked. Draftable grades up

241
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 5: like that's an insane number. This is like, this is

242
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: a year if you need a running back to be

243
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 5: number one in your depth chart, number two or number three,

244
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: this is a really good year and half those needs.

245
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: Hey some then else when you talk about this offense,

246
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: and this can be a funny one.

247
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: This is one that I've been waiting to ask you

248
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: guys about this.

249
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: How different is the wide receiver room next season?

250
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: Now? Now we saw something very different.

251
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: We saw the rise of Alec Pearce.

252
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: We saw this ad Mitchell A d Mitchell right now,

253
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: we've been talking about him going into year or two.

254
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: Does it is it?

255
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I guess my question is does the draft come into

256
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: play on this wide receiver room or is it not

257
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: looked at? And possibly you know, some some undrafted free

258
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: agents just to compete.

259
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: The draft could come into play if the right guy's there. Like,

260
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 5: I'm never gonna say, I don't think you're ever gonna

261
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 5: pass on a wide receiver who you think could be

262
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: a really good an impact player. But I think there's

263
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 5: a really good chance that like all six guys who

264
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: are on the roster last year are back. Yeah, because

265
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 5: you've got five hunderd contract in Pittman, Pierce, Downs, Mitchell,

266
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: and Gould, and then I think Ashton Dulan as a

267
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: special teams guy. You'd love to have him back, and

268
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 5: I will see how things play out next week. But then, okay,

269
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 5: there's your sex, right.

270
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 6: I think to the way that this receiver room looks

271
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 6: different to me is in a number of ways of

272
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 6: Josh Downs being an immediate contributor much sooner. Obviously he

273
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 6: had more of a delayed start to the season based

274
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 6: on the ankle injury. He's going to be a huge

275
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 6: priority in terms of this offensive success early on. Michael Pittman,

276
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 6: we know what he was playing through all season long,

277
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 6: and obviously his numbers were down just based on you know,

278
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 6: a number of facets, in particular the fact that he

279
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 6: had the back that he was battling through and you

280
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 6: probably could have gone onto ir positions, but you know,

281
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 6: fought through so much so he is going to be

282
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 6: even more of a force.

283
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: You know this year. Now you've established what Alec Pierce

284
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: can do.

285
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 6: So I think that there are just a number of

286
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 6: areas of this wide receiver room that you are investing

287
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 6: in just by knowing, Hey, these guys are going to

288
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 6: be a significant priority. This is going to be the

289
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 6: way that we are going to structure and build our

290
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 6: offense is by getting these guys and making sure that

291
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 6: these are foundations. You know, these are pillars of our offense,

292
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 6: especially early on in the season, right like when you

293
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 6: didn't have Josh and then Pitt gets banged up, these

294
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 6: different things. So that's going to be an immense help,

295
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 6: especially when you think about Anthony Richardson is not missing

296
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 6: time this offseason, right.

297
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: Yes, sooner, yes, more impactfully.

298
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 6: Exactly, He's not gonna have to wait until you know,

299
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 6: the spring or whatever it might be. These guys are

300
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: able to get together, whether it's right now, whether it's

301
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: over this summer, well prior to training camp. So I

302
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 6: just think that collectively, you're going to see so much

303
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 6: more like cohesiveness and balance and consistency within the offense.

304
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: Because real quick, it's easy for me to say the

305
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: Colts haven't given up on ad Mitchell because they haven't

306
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: a year two. You know another group of people who

307
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 5: have not given up on ad Mitchell. Draft people like

308
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 5: you talk to, like any draft guy around the combine

309
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 5: and like guys Daniel Jeremiah this, Yeah, who Like I

310
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: was like give me like a player who's been drafted

311
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years of the colt too,

312
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 5: you're like very interested to see how he develops in

313
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: year two, year three, Ady Mitchell right off the bat,

314
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 5: Like those guys, that group of people people who analyze

315
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: the draft still love Adie Mitchell and still think he's

316
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: got a ton of upsides. So I wouldn't give up

317
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 5: on a give up on him.

318
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: I know heck can know with a year under his

319
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: belt and coming in he is has a special skill set.

320
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: So it's going to be fun.

321
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Now, guys, it's the bright shiny object, all right. It's

322
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the big, flashy thing that everybody's looking at. And it's

323
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: the tight end room. And when people talk about this draft, Lera,

324
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: there's some names out there that are there's some names

325
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: on the free agent market as well. Does this room

326
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: look completely different? Is it an overhaul next year in

327
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: the tight end room?

328
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Probably?

329
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 6: I mean you look at the fact that you have

330
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 6: a number of guys who are free agents in that room.

331
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 6: Kylon Grantson and Malile Cox both are free agents. I

332
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 6: do think you like what you have with Drerogeltree and

333
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 6: what he gives you. You know, Will Mallory is obviously

334
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 6: you know around what you drafted him two years ago,

335
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 6: you know, see kind of what the plan is for him.

336
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 6: But I do think that you are probably going to

337
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 6: address that position group, that room, maybe in a number

338
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 6: of different ways. You know, maybe it is drafting one

339
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: and then reinforcing it by sign another guy. I do

340
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 6: think you need to in order to equip Anthony Richardson

341
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 6: to be successful.

342
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: And obviously this.

343
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 6: Is you know, a significant year for him and his

344
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 6: growth and development in this offense in general, with the

345
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 6: third year under Shane and all of these things. That

346
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 6: is an asset that you need to provide to him, Right,

347
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 6: That's something that to this offense, you know, collectively, that's

348
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 6: something that you haven't necessarily.

349
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: You know, you've gotten these guys involved, but it's.

350
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 6: Never been I think, to the degree of consistent production

351
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 6: that you would have hoped to see. It's kind of like, hey,

352
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 6: if if you're going to put this responsibility on Anthony

353
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 6: Richardson to say like okay, like you're the guy, you know,

354
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 6: take the lead, prove who you can be, you know

355
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: as a franchise quarterback, all of that, you also have

356
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 6: to surround him by the pieces with the elements that

357
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 6: are going to allow him to do that and the

358
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 6: investment that he's making, right, you're reinforcing that. They're similar

359
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 6: in the sense that for leu Anemo, if you're like, Okay,

360
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 6: we want you to be successful as a defense, you're

361
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 6: gonna have to give them some pieces to work with

362
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 6: to and reinforce some areas as you know you look

363
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: especially to and know I'm jumping ahead a little bit,

364
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 6: but safety and DBS. If you are bringing certain people

365
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 6: into the building, you know, and you are investing in them,

366
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: and you know you are gambling on them and what

367
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 6: they're going to do or you know, then you also

368
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 6: have to surround them with certain elements in order to

369
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 6: do that.

370
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: If tight Ends are at fourteen a guy that they

371
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: cover it, are they snatching them up?

372
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm not mentioning any names, but when this.

373
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: Draft comes up, I mean I would be curious of

374
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: where tight End ranks on Like the tie breakers of

375
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: the Colts. We're not going to know that until the

376
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 5: day of the draft. But that that is a position.

377
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: That is I think the way the Colts have addressed

378
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 5: it recently I don't think has been the wrong way.

379
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,479
Speaker 5: This is this is where I will defend the process

380
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: that the Colts have had, where they have thrown quite

381
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: a few draft picks at it. Cal Answer was a

382
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 5: fourth rounder, Jilannie Woods was the third rounder. Duroga Tree

383
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: was a sixth rounder. Will Mallory was a fifth rounder.

384
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: That's kind of that range where you do see a

385
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 5: lot of tight ends who are among the better guys

386
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 5: in the league. That's where they start to kind of

387
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 5: develop from those guys have not panned out the way

388
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 5: that I think you would hope. I think Ogle Tree

389
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: still some upside. We don't know what you really haven't

390
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: Will Mallory yet.

391
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: But Woods, guys, I'm sorry, but but you know, stay healthy.

392
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 5: If you get anything out of him this year, it's

393
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 5: a bonus. I mean, you know, you hope he can

394
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: be healthy. You hope he can show that kind of potential.

395
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 5: But your three years removed from that, so you know

396
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 5: you hope the best for Jolanni. He can do it,

397
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: but I think you cannot treat what you get out

398
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 5: of him as a guarantee.

399
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: That makes sense.

400
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 3: I'm also looking to.

401
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 4: Anyway to answer your question. I'm not surprised.

402
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 6: Also just how beneficial it's been for some of these

403
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 6: young quarterbacks, young developing quarterbacks to have tight ends, like

404
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 6: consistent playmaking, dynamic tight ends, like you think about zach

405
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 6: Ertz in Washington with.

406
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: Jaden Dan call, that's a great call.

407
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: Look, I mean I'm kind of like going around.

408
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 5: To tight end the NFL anymore. Probably not, but like he's.

409
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: Immense value and that in that offense.

410
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 6: With Cliff Kingsbury also, I mean, just like in New England,

411
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 6: I kind of forgot like Austin Hooper, like you know, like, yes,

412
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 6: look at those guys. So I just if you're looking

413
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 6: to some situations in which the quarterback growth has been

414
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 6: imperative in relation to having that type of a weapon

415
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 6: at the tight end position, I think there's something to do.

416
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: I mean you can also think Mark Andrews and Mark Jackson,

417
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes, George Kittle and Rock Party.

418
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, you can go down the list there.

419
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to move on because we get the offensive

420
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: line coming up. But my question is it's been coming around.

421
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Let me start with you A quality, a proven whatever,

422
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: a high rookie draft choice comes in at tight end.

423
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: Thirty nine catches last year for the tight end room,

424
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: but If there is a quality tight end out there,

425
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: whether it's free agent or through the draft, and those

426
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: guys get sixty seventy balls sixty five catches a year,

427
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: how does that affect this offense? And I'm talking about

428
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: Josh Downs there, who's a sixty balliar guy stuff like that.

429
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

430
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: When you have a proven tight end that you know

431
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: is going to get you sixty catches, what does this

432
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: offense look like?

433
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: Here's the needle you have to thread is that guy's

434
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: probably got to be a wide tight end if you

435
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 5: have the because you can you can make you can

436
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: make it work with a guy who's maybe a little

437
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: more of a like a lighter guy who can come

438
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 5: down and block a little bit. But if you're gonna

439
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: have a two hundred and thirty pound tight end be

440
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: your number one guy. That might impact Josh Downs, That

441
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 5: might drop his production a little bit.

442
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if you want that. Yeah, that's why

443
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 4: it's that.

444
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: It's that why guy, that inline guy who when he's

445
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: on the field, it is a fifty to fifty split

446
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 5: between pass and run because he doesn't have a very

447
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 5: narrow skill set.

448
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: If that matches, got you all right, let's keep moving

449
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: on here. The offensive line. I've been waiting for this one, Lara.

450
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to you left side of that line. Bernard Ryman,

451
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson. Question market center Ryan Kelly, a free agent

452
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: right guard, Will fries a free agent right tackle, Braden Smith.

453
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: You know now we've got consolvets from last year, Bordolini

454
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: from last year. Guys, I'm excited about this because how

455
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: many new faces do you think are in that offensive

456
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: line room? And I know it's a big if because

457
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: you got a veteran like Kelly out there, and the

458
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: alternative is a second year guy in Tanner Bordolini. So

459
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: how different does this offensive line look like?

460
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: You think about Danny Pinter.

461
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Danny Pinter's and their Dalton Tucker got reps last year

462
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: as well.

463
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: I think maybe one. I think there might be one.

464
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: I think you're right.

465
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 5: I think this is the group that you can have

466
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 5: continuity with this this season. Now, the question I have

467
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 5: when you get into you know we're recording this on Tuesday,

468
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: there are still there's still time to have exclusive negotiating

469
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: rights with Ryan Kelly, with Will Fryes, and I.

470
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 6: Believe Chris even mentioned that right didn't he say at

471
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 6: the podium he would meeting planning to meet this week

472
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 6: with few guys.

473
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: So something could happen between now and then. But if

474
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 5: it doesn't, what Domino has to fall first on this line?

475
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 5: Is it Kelly or is it fries Like that? That's

476
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: my qu If you try to get Will Fryes back

477
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 5: and some team snatches him away, does that increase your

478
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 5: odds of retaining Ryan Kelly?

479
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 4: Or is it the reverse of that?

480
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: If you are able to keep Will Fryes around, does

481
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 5: that decrease your odds of keeping Ryan Kelly? Or is

482
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 5: it Ryan Kelly is the first guy you're coming. I

483
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 5: don't know how that's going to play out, but that's

484
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: something that one of the first things I'm going to

485
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 5: be tracking starting next Monday and into next Wednesday is

486
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: at like how do those guys play things out? Ryan

487
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: Kelly's also a guy who could very well take his time,

488
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 5: oh in free agency like he like a lot of

489
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 5: the guys who are going into their second contracts in

490
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 5: free agency, they get snapped up like that. You'll see

491
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: veterans who are in their thirties maybe take their time

492
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: a little bit more because they're looking for the right fit,

493
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: whereas a lot of guys who are you know, you're

494
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 5: trying to get the biggest bite of the apple you

495
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: can coming off your rookie contract. That's not the case

496
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: for everyone, but that's just kind of a general statement.

497
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: So how those guys are prioritized and what in what

498
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: order do they sign is going to be really interesting.

499
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: They're really quick, Braden Smith. I mean, we heard Chris

500
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: Ballard talk about that.

501
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: We didn't see him.

502
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: For the last five six weeks of the season. Yeh,

503
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: talked about some stuff off the field and everything. Now

504
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 1: he says, hey, he wants to play football again. That

505
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: doesn't throw a wrench into the thing. That's good news

506
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: for us right there. Absolutely So any update on that

507
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: sort of thing, what's going on as far as two things,

508
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: and I know I'm putting you on the spot here,

509
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: Braden Smith will look for that, you know, on the

510
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: upside of that, and also Will Fries. I hate asking

511
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: this question because I don't know, and I don't think

512
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: you guys know.

513
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: But is he ready? I mean, is he ready to

514
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: go when Westfield opens up? Not OTA's I know.

515
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: He's going through this stuff, but he's he there to

516
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: get some quality snaps and and potentially get into the preseason.

517
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I think, you know, there's only there's only

518
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 6: so much that you can do with guys at this point,

519
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 6: you know, in the season, right, it's they're very protected

520
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 6: with with where you are. But I do know that

521
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 6: Will has been in in terms of like working and

522
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 6: rehabing and doing everything. Like he's the guy who I

523
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 6: doubt that he has probably missed a day, you know, uh,

524
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 6: and just in terms of work.

525
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: So I do think that obviously it's very.

526
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 6: Difficult to say, oh, he'll be one hundred percent ready

527
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 6: to go on report day, like that's just an unfair

528
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 6: expectation to say. But what I will say is he's

529
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 6: giving himself every chance and every opportunity to be one

530
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 6: hundred percent reliable when he gets that full.

531
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: Clearance to go.

532
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 6: And you know he's been I don't know if he

533
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 6: posts as much, but his girlfriend is he she'll post

534
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 6: you have time to time that you can say yes

535
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 6: sorry fiance, yes.

536
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: No, no. Disrespective is because she's in full wedding planning mode. Right.

537
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 6: Actually talked with Will the other day and I was like,

538
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 6: where is this he? I feel like she's traveling as

539
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 6: a go wedding planning. It's like full tilt. So so

540
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: I do think that you know, he's shown immense strides.

541
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 6: And here's the thing that you know when it's a

542
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 6: guy who was a seventh round draft pick who works

543
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 6: his way in to be a not just a starter,

544
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: but a key starter, like one of those guys who

545
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 6: is you know, regarded as like part of the soul

546
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 6: of this offensive line. Yeah, that's not a guy who

547
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 6: I'm going to be concerned about if he is going

548
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 6: to do everything to be sure he's one ready to go, healed,

549
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 6: making sure that you know he's using all of this

550
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 6: time to be sure that you know he's back on

551
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 6: the field with his teammates. It's a guy who has

552
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 6: an immense amount of you know, care in his teammates,

553
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 6: in his work ethic, all of that making sure that

554
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 6: he's available.

555
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: Glowinski too, We got the Glowinski question work out there,

556
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: work came in, played some quality football. So we're gonna

557
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: find out all right, Guys, switching to the defense, I

558
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: know you're trying up and at the bit that lou

559
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Anarumo defense that is coming. I want to start at

560
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: the linebacker position. The big question mark out there e J.

561
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: Speed? Where that with that?

562
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: My first question is this guys, uh is the does

563
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: the linebacker room? Does the draft come into play with

564
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: the linebacker room? And also does Jalen Carly's Is he

565
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: that guy that if EJ. Speed were to sign with

566
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: another team? Is that a seamless transition?

567
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 5: Here's I was thinking about this, like we we both

568
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 5: are our big Jailen car Lives supporters. I wonder if

569
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 5: the Colts go the route because I mean, look, it

570
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: is a new defense of you know, Lunaromai coming in

571
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: of maybe you sign a veteran and it's more of

572
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 5: a competition there. Okay, I'd be curious if that's going

573
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 5: to wind up being the case.

574
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 6: I'd also say, if there is a position group that

575
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 6: you have hit on in the draft, it's been linebacker,

576
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 6: yeah for sure.

577
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah on Day three.

578
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and for Shack and then everyone else on day three,

579
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 5: but just in general, actually Bobby was day two.

580
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 4: I take it was day two, Okay, Yeah.

581
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 6: You know one of the guys who I would like

582
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 6: to see uh brought back is Grant Stewart.

583
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 5: Yes, where special teams and like when I look at

584
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 5: that room, but also he had nineteen tackles that one

585
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 5: game he started against Miami. So yeah, I think that

586
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: that's going to be an interesting one that I Actually,

587
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: here's kind of my overararching question with the defense. How

588
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 5: many former Bengals are on this team after free agency

589
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 5: kind of slows down.

590
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 2: It's a good call.

591
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: I mean, is it one? Is it two? Is it none?

592
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 5: That's kind of something that's been stuck in my head

593
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 5: because you'll see that, right, Yeah, Like you'll see like

594
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 5: this isn't a maybe the best example, but when the

595
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 5: cole tired Gross Bradley in twenty twenty two and they

596
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: needed a cornerback, they brought in Brandon Face from Vegas.

597
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: Right, and he familiarity right.

598
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: Thing maybe didn't work out the way that you'd like

599
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: it too, But that stuff happens where guys who are

600
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 5: part of a previous regimes defense are free agents and

601
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 5: all of a sudden that coordinator gets hired and hey, come,

602
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: you know you're comfort ball I'm comfortable it'll come play

603
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 5: for us. So I'm curious if it's maybe between one,

604
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 5: is it two again?

605
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 4: Or it could be none? Yeah, you never know.

606
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: One thing that we've heard about Chris Ballard is loading

607
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: up the offensive line, loading up the defensive line. That's

608
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: where the games are won. We've talked about that when

609
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: he was hired in here. We saw what the Philadelphia

610
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Eagles did with, you know, strength on both sides of

611
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: the ball. When it comes to the lines, the defensive

612
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: line is a big question mark and it starts with

613
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: Dio a dangbo. If he was to go to free

614
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: agency sign with another team, JJ, I'll start with you

615
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: very quickly.

616
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: That's a big hole to fill.

617
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: That guy got a lot of reps and he's been

618
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: like this when he comes a second rounder out of Vanderbilt.

619
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: For Chris Ballard, it.

620
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 5: Is I think you still have a four deep rotation

621
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 5: at d end that you feel good about with Laatu Latu,

622
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: Chris Ballard said, Samson Ebcom's coming back. He's tracking pretty well,

623
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 5: quid he Pay and then Taekwon Lewis. You can always

624
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: bolster that. You can never have too many defensive line

625
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 5: We know that the Colts are going to go into

626
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 5: last year with those same four plus Dio until Samson

627
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: got hurt, because I mean again, one of those four

628
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 5: guys gets hurt and all of a sudden, you're light.

629
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 5: But Dio being that kind of chess piece who can

630
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: move inside, he can be outside. That would be a

631
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: a role you need to fill.

632
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 4: But we'll see. You know, with LeAnn Arumo coming in,

633
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: the defensive tackle is going to be interesting.

634
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

635
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: Please.

636
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 5: They've got Tavin Briant is going to be free agent,

637
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 5: a guy who played some snaps in there. You know,

638
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 5: Raykwon Davis will see if you get any more out

639
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 5: of him in year two. You got at a timey

640
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 5: why at a bar a on this roster, But do

641
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 5: you try to look to bolster that as well? Because

642
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: Grove Buck and Grove are great, right, but they can't

643
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 5: play one hundred percent of the snaps right, right, So

644
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 5: you've got to be the I thought.

645
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean we're talking about cashed. I mean like when

646
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: those guys aren't on.

647
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 5: You're talking about the drop off from Jonathan Taylor to

648
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 5: number two running back, the drop off from those two

649
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 5: guys to the you know, you just look at the

650
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: on off stats when they were you know, again against

651
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: the run, and it was it was rough. That's got

652
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 5: to be better.

653
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: We talked to a lot of draft experts LA and

654
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: they said, this draft, you know what I mean when

655
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: it comes to first rounders.

656
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: How many are there? I love play in that game.

657
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: Are there ten?

658
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 3: True?

659
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: First?

660
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: That's always so funny because you'll get like the people

661
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: who get really annoyed with semantics, being like, no, they

662
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 5: are thirty two first rides scouts, you are like, there

663
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 5: are ten.

664
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's ten. That quality.

665
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: But my question is that when you get into the

666
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: second and the third, even to the fourth, there's a

667
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of beef when it comes to the defensive tackles

668
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: in this draft. Yeah, Chris Ballard going to this upcoming draft,

669
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's cheap, it's cheap, it's a middle round

670
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: guy and stuff like that. And if the quality is there,

671
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: do you think he'll pounce on them, bring some new

672
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: faces in the DT room.

673
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

674
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah.

675
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 6: I mean I think you're gonna, yeah, absolutely explore what

676
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 6: opportunities might be there on day two and day three

677
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 6: for sure, because I do think that those are areas

678
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 6: with which you want to reinforce.

679
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: The depth is so important.

680
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: I do like the idea of potentially bringing back a

681
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: guy like Dio Edangbo, and then you have a second

682
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 6: year of development with Laoutu Latu, you know, with coach.

683
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: Partridge and all of that.

684
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 6: I do think that potentially like the versatility of Dio also,

685
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 6: you know, maybe that helps alleviate a little bit of

686
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 6: the pressure that's placed upon layout to Lawtum just allows

687
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 6: him to play a little.

688
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: Bit freer in your two.

689
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: We saw last year put so much pressure on himself, right,

690
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 6: it's such and you know he had these incredible plays,

691
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 6: like huge flashes and just he expects so much out

692
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 6: of himself. I think that you know, as much continuity

693
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 6: as you could maybe have with the veterans in that

694
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 6: room and potentially bringing Dio back. You obviously have that

695
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 6: great core you know, group that you have already with

696
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 6: you know, Grove and Buck and Taekwon Lewis and Quitty

697
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 6: and you know Samson back. So I think when you're

698
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 6: looking to you know, some of the development of that group,

699
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 6: I like the idea of kind of both you know,

700
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 6: maybe you know, trying to see what the market is.

701
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 6: I also have like still nightmares about like dinnyko Autry,

702
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 6: you know, moving on and you know, having to face

703
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: him twice a year when he went to Tennessee and

704
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 6: just yes, so but as you think there's going to

705
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 6: be value, I think that obviously there's always a priority.

706
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: We know how it is. You know, they love to

707
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 6: build from the trenches. So yeah, I think that when

708
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 6: you look to you know, rounds three, four five, are

709
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 6: those great opportunities.

710
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 5: To let me throw this back on you here, Jeffrey,

711
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 5: just because I was thinking about this, I would not

712
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 5: be surprised at fourteen if the Colts took any position

713
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 5: on defense, Like if we get to the end of

714
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 5: day one and the Colts have drafted a d n

715
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 5: to dtackle, a linebacker, a safety, or a cornerback, I

716
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: would not be surprised by any of those positions.

717
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: Go back a year, go back a year, because we

718
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: were talking about Leatsu Latu was not a huge name.

719
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 4: No, he was not a buzzy name.

720
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: Yes, when it came to inside this house on fifty

721
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: sixth Street and around the NFL landscape, it was not

722
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: similarities there. But I agree with what you say, A

723
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: defender comes off the board at fourteen not surprised in.

724
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: The lad Yeah, and it's literally at any of those

725
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: positions because you can make a case that you can

726
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 5: be better at every single one of those positions.

727
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Right, all right, you guys mentioned some good stuff with

728
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: lou Anarumo I want to go to that safety position.

729
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk about lou Ana Rumo's defense, and also,

730
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: guys answer me this, he's coming in. He does this

731
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: regime Shane Stikeen and every say, hey, coach, lou what

732
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: do you need?

733
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: Talk to me? What do you need?

734
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Because the reason I want to start at safety is

735
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: you've got a guy that's going up like this in

736
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. You've got Julian Blackman, who's out there on

737
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: the market a veteran. Does Anna Rumo's defense? Demand a

738
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: veteran come in to compliment Nick Cross to make this

739
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: defense home.

740
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: I don't think it has to be a veteran.

741
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: I think I think you'll see a veteran at either

742
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: corner or safety.

743
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: I don't know about both. Maybe both.

744
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: But the question I have is, if you can only

745
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 5: take one swing at secondary in free agency, say that's

746
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 5: how the market shakes out.

747
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: Is that swing at a corner or is it at

748
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: a safety? Yep?

749
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: Can an throw a little analogy?

750
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 6: He yea guys, okay, who does the cooking in your

751
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 6: respective households?

752
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 4: I would say.

753
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: Sixty forty Betsy, seventy thirty ream?

754
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay?

755
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: Who does the grocery?

756
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 5: Shopping mostly mostly Betsy. Sometimes our kids make us buy

757
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 5: a bunch of stuff we don't.

758
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: That'd be me. I really enjoy grocery shopping.

759
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: I love I love, I love grocery. So I shop

760
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: and I cook.

761
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 6: All right, here's here's where I'm going, and hopefully everyone's

762
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 6: like bearing with me, and this is.

763
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: Like, it's good your laptop, Yeah.

764
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 6: I'm settling in here. I'm really I'm on one. I'm

765
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 6: on one right now. Okay, if you two are cooking

766
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 6: dinner and you haven't shopped for the groceries, what typically happens.

767
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: Like if you're like, okay, I know I want to.

768
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: Make JJ's signature spaghetti and meatballs, but maybe you didn't

769
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 6: do the grocery shopping and you're starting to assemble everything,

770
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 6: what typically happened?

771
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right, why do we not have ground pork?

772
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: Exactly?

773
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 6: But you know you're going, where's the piano or regiano

774
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 6: or whatever?

775
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: Right, So here's the thing.

776
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 6: If you are going to expect Louanaumo to cook a

777
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 6: defensive feast, you gotta let louarumosh.

778
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 4: There you go.

779
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: Let cook.

780
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: Let lou cook.

781
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 5: One of my second favorite cooking analogies I've ever heard

782
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 5: in regards to football. This is a throwback I'm about

783
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 5: to throw at you. Guys, you're not ready for this switch.

784
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 3: If you were here for the pre show, there were

785
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: a lot of throwbacks.

786
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: So two thousand and thirteen, it's April. Yeah, I'm at

787
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: Notre Dame Stadium for their spring media day and I'm

788
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 5: talking to their defensive coordinator, Bob Diaco. If anyone out

789
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 5: there remembers Bob Diako, kick out of this. And we're

790
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 5: asking about how do you replace Mantitao And he's like, well,

791
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: every year you're baking a cake with your defense, and

792
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes it's a it's a sweet vanilla cake.

793
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: But then sometimes the ingredients you get you might get

794
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 5: some green chilies, and well that's not gonna be a

795
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 5: good cake. Maybe we need to not make a cake

796
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 5: this year. And you know, I like that. Then I

797
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 5: could think about was how the backup linebacker they had

798
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 5: to replace Mantai Tao was going to be green chilies

799
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 5: going into vanilla cake.

800
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 4: I won't taste very good.

801
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

802
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,160

Speaker 4: I definitely enjoyed being here.

828
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 7: We're seeing, you know, guys, you guys doing this and

829
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 7: I think we've talked about a lot of players right now, right,

830
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 7: I mean we've talked about a lot of position groups,

831
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 7: a lot of players, and of course you have introduced

832
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 7: me as the international guest today. So I'm like, let's

833
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 7: give it a little international twist.

834
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 4: I like it.

835
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 7: So we have an international player, right, Marshall Dabbo. How

836
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 7: does his future, what the Colts look like, and how

837
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 7: can he maybe eventually make the fifty three amount roster?

838
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 7: What do you guys pick up from him?

839
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 5: He keeps coming back and you know that a lot

840
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 5: of these guys who are in that international pipeline sometimes

841
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 5: to see him kind of get you know, split up,

842
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 5: chewed out a little bit. But he keeps coming back

843
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 5: and he keeps working. And you know, he's got his

844
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 5: first couple of runs during training camp and pre season

845
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 5: play at safety, and I mean he's very athletic and

846
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 5: I don't know, we'll see I think this.

847
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 6: Present it's a really interesting opportunity for him too with

848
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 6: Loui an Arumo and maybe how this defense can help

849
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 6: him further develop and make that contribution. Hey, the other

850
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 6: international player that I'm excited for this season is Bernard

851
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 6: Ryman exactly, So that's the other guy who's going to

852
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 6: have a massive year, and very quickly shout out to

853
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 6: Bernard and Kelly. They welcomed their daughter just last week.

858
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 7: a lot from Marcel, you know, on social media. I

859
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 7: think the Coles do a great job with that. But

860
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 7: also like curious, you know, he played in stut Guard.

861
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 7: I think he did really well there. How does his

862
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 7: future look like? And I mean you mentioned like you know,

863
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 7: we can help, we can need a little help in

864
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 7: that safety safety group, right, yeah.

865
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 5: He'll he'll have an opportunity to compete and earn a

866
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 5: roster spot Marcel. Yeah yeah.

867
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 6: I think also like you know, you look at special

868
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 6: teams opportunities too, and how much start for him? Yes,

869
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 6: housing ificantly, you know that has contributed to the foundation

870
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 6: for guys. So I think for him, like that's where

871
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 6: I would look to like this year is can he

872
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 6: be a contributor in that role, you know, kind of

873
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 6: watching him how much run he's getting maybe over the

874
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 6: course of training camp.

875
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 5: By the way, I want to shout out Lucas because

876
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 5: if you were at the NFL Combine last week, you

877
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 5: saw Lucas around and it wasn't just around the chit chat.

878
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 4: You were there to work. I was, Yeah, yeah, definitely.

879
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 7: It was a great experience and it was a great

880
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 7: seeing you guys there as well and see how the

881
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 7: Colts do their work there. And also actually got to

882
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 7: talk to Chris Batler and Shane Stike and a little

883
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 7: bit ask him a question.

884
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 4: You got it, You got it. That's a good question

885
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 4: for Chris.

886
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 7: I asked him a question like what can you learn

887
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 7: from the combine which you cannot at any other event,

888
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 7: because that's what my job is at ESPN. Try to

889
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 7: explain to the people why the NFL is important, why

890
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 7: and what the NFL exactly is. And Okay, you can

891
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 7: go go go ahead and just watch the super Bowl, right,

892
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 7: I mean, but there's more to the NFL way more

893
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 7: than just the Super Bowl. We got got to explained

894
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 7: what the draft is and what the way up to

895
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 7: the draft is, and that is of course mine is

896
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 7: a big part of that as well.

897
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 6: And the answer you got was really interesting because maybe

898
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 6: it's for those who didn't hear what Chris went into,

899
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 6: is you really get to see how these prospects handle

900
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 6: the entire entire process of the combine. They obviously have

901
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 6: these medical evaluations. Well sometimes you know, maybe the schedule

902
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 6: is lagging behind and a guy's coming in late, or

903
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 6: you know he's been in different evaluation, different touch points

904
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 6: for six, seven, eight, nine hours in a row, so

905
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 6: maybe he comes in for your interview. Last is he rattled?

906
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 6: Is he poised? How is he handling? Some of those things?

907
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: And those are really interesting things that I think a.

908
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 6: Lot of times if you're outside, you don't take into

909
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 6: consideration how highly you know that could weigh in terms

910
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 6: of the you know, the evaluation of a player is like, hey,

911
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 6: if they're aware that, Okay, his schedule's gotten pulled all

912
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 6: over the place, but he comes in, you know, very level,

913
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 6: you know, still energetic, still professional, all.

914
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: Of those things.

915
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 6: Like you think about it like this is like a

916
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 6: week long job interview.

917
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 5: Like and I thought what Chris said about like is

918
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 5: the moment too big for these guys was really telling

919
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 5: of like they you know a lot of these guys

920
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 5: have played on the highest levels of college and there's

921
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 5: been a ton of pressure and now there's a lot

922
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 5: of money involved in it, but it is different when

923
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 5: you're trying to put on the best showing that you

924
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 5: can for these teams. And by the way, you've trained

925
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 5: for this. You have trained for the forty and for

926
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 5: the bench press and for these drills, and you've prepared

927
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 5: yourself on the teams that you're gonna go visit and

928
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 5: what you might expect out of it.

929
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 4: And yeah, I mean, if you.

930
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 5: Bomb all that, that is that's a tough sign. But

931
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 5: if you thrive in it, that also that that can

932
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 5: just be a marker in and of its own outside

933
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 5: of you know, screaming a closs across the line on

934
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 5: the forty yard dash, like you know, it wasn't the

935
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 5: moment was not too big for my guy armand membo

936
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 5: from a zoo there. Yeah, did you see that he's

937

972
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 7: think we're going to need maybe a little bit of

973
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 7: a bigger bar though this.

974
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 3: See you're at the pub party. Okay.

975
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 6: One thing I want toss your way before we wrap

976
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 6: up is can you just kind of explain what the

977
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 6: international appetite is from your perspective of how exciting is

978
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 6: it to have more of an NFL presence across Europe.

979
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, so what I can talk from is our European

980
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 7: fan perspective, right, I mean we I think the Colts

981
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 7: came to Germany in twenty twenty three, and I think

982
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 7: as far as my perspective, I think you guys got

983
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 7: on the plane and were like, whoa, this was.

984
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: Way better than we ever thought it would be.

985
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 7: And I mean the bar in Frankfurt you couldn't even

986
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 7: you had to walk around like that.

987
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 4: It was so busy there. So and that's for Drian

988
00:42:59,000 --> 00:42:59,479
Speaker 4: James showed.

989
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, right, I mean it was incredibly busy and

990
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 7: a line out saw everything like the whole nine yards,

991
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 7: and then I think we also thought, hey, let's, you know,

992
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 7: put our trenks together. Like I'm in the Netherlands. We

993
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 7: have a ton of fans in Germany, we have Dona

994
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 7: fans in the UK, we have we have some fans

995
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 7: down and down in Spain and Portugal. So we tried

996
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: to combine those in the Blue Crew europe Fan Crew,

997
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 7: which we have.

998
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 4: It's on JJ's laptop riv over here.

999
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 7: And I mean, as far as I can tell, like

1000
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 7: as soon as we had the announcement of okay, Colts

1001
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 7: are coming back to Germany, We're coming to UK, which

1002
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 7: was the which was the US nine, the group just exploded,

1003
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 7: like my phone was exploding and everyone was like, Okay,

1004
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 7: we're super fired up for them to be here. And

1005
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 7: I think, like you said, like on the question the

1006
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 7: podcast before, it's not just parachuting in right, You're just

1007
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 7: not gonna play a game there and not just to

00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 7: you know, Okay, we're gonna play a game here and

1009
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 7: we're gonna go back home. Really establishing the brand, and

1010
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 7: I think that's what our fans are the most excited

1011
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 7: about as well. That you can just maybe go to

Speaker 7: over there a lot more and do some events with him.

1015

1016
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 7: not only the games, but also what comes along with it.
