1
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: What's up everyone. Welcome into another episode of the Official

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: Colts Podcast here in the Colts Audio Network and on YouTube.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, you can see that Lara

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: and I are coming to you from a beautiful We

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: took a show on the road. We took a show

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: on the road. This is some meeting room at our hotel.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: It maybe I don't know if you can hear the echo,

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: but it's a very large meeting it is.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: It is almost a ballery space. I feel like that

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: they probably hosted some sort of a wedding reception.

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: In here almost certainly. Well, this is more important what

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Colts here. Coming up on today's podcast,

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: we are going to recap yesterday's joint practice that the

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: Colts had with the Bengals here in Cincinnati, and then

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: we're going to look ahead to Thursday night's pre season

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: finale against the Bengals at pay Court Stadium. Also excited, Lara,

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: you had a chance to sit down with k Adams

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: last week at Colts Camp. Really interesting chat. They're really

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: good to hear a national perspective on the Colts and

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: why I think Kay's kind of woken up to like

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be sleeping on this team.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, Like she is high on this team,

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: and she's going to go into why what she likes

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: about the dynamic and why this might be somewhat of

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: a surprise team and how more people should be taking

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: notice of what the Colts are doing.

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: So real quick, I thought this of like, I don't

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: think it's surprising, Like I don't think if the Colts

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: are good, I'm gonna be surprised. But I'm also so

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: in it right, Like I've seen it every day. I've

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: seen what this team looks like in practice, and I

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: listened to you know, some podcasts from national folks like

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Robert Mays and those guys who talk a lot about

34
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: the Colts, and hey, we're really excited about this team.

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: But I think just from like a larger national perspective, Yeah,

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's talking about the Texans, right, That's the

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: team that is getting the attention because they went out

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: and they got Steffan Diggs, they got Joe Mixon, they

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: have c. J. Stroud. There's already that proof of concept there.

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: They won the AFC South. The Colts are kind of

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: intriguing and that I've seen Anthony Richardson for a bit.

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Shane Stikeen's probably a good coach, but nationally, there isn't

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: that that kind of star power juice yet that the

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Texans have.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: I think, and I say this in the best way,

46
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: like we've been kind of boring, in an intentional and

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: the most positive way to say that we didn't have

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: a lot of drama in the off season. There weren't

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, big swings. It was retain your own, get

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: Anthony healthy, you know, another year with Shane, all of

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: these things, and so I just think that that's not

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: catching the big headlines, right, Those aren't the the sizzly

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: sound bites that everyone's like looking for, Like, you know,

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: look at what is going on. I mean with Cincinnati

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, Right, there's that conversation. You've got conversations similar

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: in Dallas with what's going on there. You mentioned the

57
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. Of course everyone's going to talk about the

58
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Chiefs what they're always doing San Francisco, right, I mean,

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: I think even you know, a conversation like the changes

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: in Tennessee.

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, how does Jacksville They made a bunch of moves.

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Too, exactly, So I even think that there somewhat you know,

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: kind of these larger conversations that have drawn a lot

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: of the attention away from Indianapolis. But I think that's

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: good for this team. Like I think that this team

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: likes to be that, you know, allow themselves to maybe

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: be more of a surprise in some people's eyes, like yeah.

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: We're gonna well that's fine, that's fine.

69
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: We'll let our play speak for itself and we'll take

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: care of it and we start winning games.

71
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: That's the important time.

72
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: No one cares about, you know, winning the conversations in April, May, June, July,

73
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: it's winning games come September.

74
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Being the off season champs doesn't always mean you're going

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: to be the regular season champs. One thing that just

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: like I still think they're gonna be, Like the Colts

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: could be like six and two could be off to

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: this like awesome start to the season. All those games

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: are at one o'clock on a Sunday, so this team

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: could still be flying under the radar a little bit. Nationally.

81
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think for the teams that are playing

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the Colts are gonna be like, oh, this is pretty

83
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: good team if that would happened. But nationally, the Colts

84
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: are not on primetime in primetime until was it Week

85
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: ten against the Jets, right, so this can be team

86
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: like Nate Tice always talks about it on his podcast

87
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: and I had him on the official Colts podcast previously.

88
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Like the Cults are like the League Past team. We're

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: like the NBA League Pass team is like that team

90
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: that's really good, but they're never on like nationally. I

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: think actually the Pacers were a lot of people's League

92
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Past team, yeah last year where it's like, of course,

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: teams super fun, but we never get to see him

94
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: on TNT because they're the Pacers and they're not the

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: Knicks or the Bulls or you know whoever.

96
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: I do think there will be a lot of attention

97
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: on Week one with the matchup that's there.

98
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: That game being one o'clock is still just such a

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: that's yeah, yeah, I don't know. I still I don't

100
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: get it. I don't get it. But whatever, that's neither

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: here nor there. The Colts are on in primetime on Thursday, though,

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: yes they are. So this is our one Amazon Prime

103
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: game and second straight year.

104
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: I had some time with Kaie harton yesterd Out in

105
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: practice and great to have that crew. Kerkurb Street was

106
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: out there watching practice, so it'll be fantastic to have

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: that perspective covering this game.

108
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: I know they're really excited about it.

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, Shane talked about that Colts starters

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: will get into the second quarter. It does sound like

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: that Cincinnati might rest a lot of it.

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think I did. See Zach Taylor

113
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: said there he's not going to play his starters, So

114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: no Burrow, no Higgins, any of those guys. But it's

115
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: still you know, it doesn't matter necessarily who's across from me.

116
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: It's just about getting the conditioning down, getting the speed

117
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: of the game down. So we'll get into that game

118
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: here in a bit. But I do want to talk

119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: about joint practice yesterday because I had this thought and

120
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: I wrote it today on Colts dot Com that Anthony

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: Richardson's practice started off a little rocky, but he got

122
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: better as the day went on and it finished really strong,

123
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: especially when the Colts went up tempo, and I wrote

124
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: it it kind of felt like the Rams game last year,

125
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: oh sure, where it was not going great early on.

126
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Colts are down what twenty three to nothing in that game,

127
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, here comes Anthony Richardson

128
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: in the second half making all these incredible plays. He's

129
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: just an explosive play waiting to happen. But it was

130
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: when the Colts got into an uptempo offense because they

131
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: had to playing catch up against the Rams, that all

132
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the switch flipped and it was like,

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and that's the game. Like when you

134
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: talk to people about Anthony Richardson, that's the game they

135
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: talk about is that Rams game was incredible. Everything he

136
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: did in that game. But let's not forget the first

137
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: half of that game was pretty rough. It was not

138
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: going well. The Colts didn't have any points at halftime.

139
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: So I thought, yesterday you saw Richardson have a day

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, starts off a little bit slow.

141
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: I think it's really important that it wasn't like that

142
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: for the entire practice, And that's such an important thing

143
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: to just remember about Anthony that he's young, but he

144
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: is just an explosive play waiting to happen that can

145
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: flip the switch.

146
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that I felt like

147
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: yesterday you saw like there was a good variety within

148
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: the offense we saw Anthony you know, running a little bit,

149
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: maybe more so than what.

150
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: We also saw Joe Flacco running.

151
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: We also saw Joe Flacco running two straight plays.

152
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Too straight place, too straight playing. Bengals were not happy

153
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: about that. No, there was very vocal.

154
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: In the Bengals secondary yesterday.

155
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: They were not happy that the Colts quarterbacks were running

156
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: as much as they did. But it's like, well, okay, yeah,

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably not expecting Joe Flacco to run

158
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards in the regular season, but come on, man,

159
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: like you're facing the Colts. Of course, the Colts quarterbacks.

160
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Are gonna run exactly exactly, and then you know, spreading

161
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: the ball around. Saw a little bit JT of course

162
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: working in there as well, I think too. I thought

163
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: it was one of the stronger days I've seen from

164
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: the Colts defense in the joint practice opportunities that we've had.

165
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: Really saw effectiveness up front from a number of different

166
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: defensive linemen.

167
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Let's say the least yeah yeah, Quitty pay end to

168
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: that last drive, so that the practice finished with a

169
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of end of game eleven on eleven simulation, and

170
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: the Colts went down to the goal was to get

171
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: a field goal. So Anthony led the Colts for team

172
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: offense down got a field goal, exactly what they wanted.

173
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Quitty Pay then ended the Bengals possession with a sack

174
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow, like a quote unquote sack where he

175
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: got in there and I don't remember who he was

176
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: over the tackle, but he got into the pocket real quick.

177
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: And that defensive line the whole practice, Larry, you're right,

178
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: was just mauling. Yeah, things up front.

179
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: I asked you a lot too.

180
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: Thought it was a really good day from him, A

181
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: good not to say that he ever lacks confidence, but

182
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: I did think it was a good confidence builder for

183
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: him again to like continue to stack the type of

184
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: days that he's been able to have, especially going into

185
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: this game, to get ready for Week one. And you know,

186
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: that's one of the things that talking to guys about

187
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: over the last week because this is such a critical

188
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: weekend to half stretch three joint practices, two preseason games,

189
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: and you start Week one at home against the Texans,

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: And I've asked a number of the guys, how do

191
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: you what do you need to see? What do you

192
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: need to get out of these jointctices, the preseason games

193
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: to be ready for week one. You know, when you

194
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: have this many quality opportunities in a row, and so

195
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: many of the guys just said consistency building one day

196
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: onto the next, onto the next, and also the ability

197
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: to shake off a series that wasn't your best rebound

198
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: and recover from that and come out stronger in the

199
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: next series, the next opportunity that you get.

200
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that that's kind of training camp, right.

201
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: You have to take it in its totality. Now we're

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: at the end of it, and I think the totality

203
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: of it is two things we just touched on. I

204
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: think it's been a good training camp, good preseason for

205
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and it's been a really good preseason for

206
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Like those two things I think are

207
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of defining markers that we've seen so far where Okay, yeah,

208
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: maybe there's one day where the d line didn't get

209
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure, but consistently it's been like that,

210
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the trend line has been going up. And for Anthony Richardson,

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: I think it's the same thing. There have been some

212
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: days where he has had a bit of you know,

213
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: some struggles there here and there, or some series where

214
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: he's had some struggles, but then all of a sudden,

215
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: you get him in a situation like you got him

216
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: in yesterday and eleven on eleven and he goes nuclear

217
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: in it, and it's just like all all of a sudden,

218
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: you kind of zoom out in it, and it's like, Yep,

219
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: that trend line is definitely going up this game being

220
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: kind of the last marker in it. But Lara, I

221
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: think the trend line for Anthony Richardson is going up.

222
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: And even if maybe Thursday's game, say it doesn't go

223
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: super well for him, that doesn't impact that the trend

224
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: line is still going up for him going into the

225
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: regular season.

226
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: I just want to see from Thursday.

227
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: I just want to see a lot of guys involved, right,

228
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: I just and I think that's what we have seen

229
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: so far from Shane and Anthony is you see a

230
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: lot of different pass catchers, you know, involved in the offense.

231
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: I think that's something that you will continue to see,

232
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: continuing to build that rapport, you know, with a guy

233
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: like Ady Mitchell and Anthony Gould in there as well,

234
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: with those rookies that you know, the vet's you know

235
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: what you've got, right, you know you've got out of

236
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: Pitt and Pierce and those type of guys. You know,

237
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: somebody who was back yesterday that we saw involved quite

238
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: a bit was I should do it?

239
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

240
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: That was big and I loved that he was in there.

241
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: He was catching a couple of balls from Flacco at times.

242
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Would love to see you know, where he is within

243
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: that rotation too. I think he's, you know, such a

244
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: strong part of that wide receiver.

245
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: Room and you know what they can do.

246
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: And that was that to me, what you want to

247
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: get out of Thursday is get a lot of guests involved, right.

248
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're building that confidence, right Another guy who

249
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, if we're talking about trend lines throughout training camp,

250
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Alec Pearce ad a really good camp. He competed his

251
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: butt off, he made plays. It did not look like

252
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: he looked like a guy who was completely flushed last year.

253
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Like I didn't see any lingering signs of him kind

254
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: of straining or anything like that. He looked like he

255
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: was out there playing free and he looked really, really good.

256
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: And I think that is a testament to how well

257
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson's skill set and ability matches with Alec Pearce's

258
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: downfield threat right.

259
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to go up and get it.

260
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

261
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Physical skill that he has where you have a quarterback

262
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: who can throw you more fifty to fifty balls down

263
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the sideline and AP's gonna It's not really a fifty

264
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: to fifty ball with Ap because you expect him to

265
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: go make that play more than half the time. But

266
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: he just you know, Matt Ryan wasn't going to do

267
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: that a whole lot and Gardner Minshew wasn't going to

268
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: do that a whole lot. So, but Anthony Richardson absolutely can.

269
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: A couple other guys here, Just to touch on Tuesday,

270
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Raekwon Davis being back out there huge literally actually actually huge.

271
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: You could just kind of feel even though he's being

272
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: eased back in, he didn't play a ton, but you know,

273
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: that's that's a plan form right now. The Colts are

274
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: going to kind of work him in slowly, but what

275
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: a presence he is on the interior as a you know,

276
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: I think we've talked a lot about it to Tommy

277
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: Why at a bar and how of a training camp

278
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: he's had. You do need kind of that big guy

279
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: in there, the run stuffer to step in for Grove

280
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: or you know, if something were to happen to have

281
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: him come start and man, Raykwon Davis like that is

282
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: the vision for him. The Colts need to get him

283
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of conditioned enough to speed. But really good to

284
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: see him back out there on Tuesday.

285
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: And he was very candid in talking after Tuesday's practice

286
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: about how.

287
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: Challenging it was.

288
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: It was really scary for him when he was diagnosed

289
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: with this high blood pressure and everything that that could

290
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: lead to if he hadn't caught it, if the medical

291
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: staff hadn't caught it when they did, and talked about

292
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: having to, you know, be very intentional about working him

293
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: back in and you know, figuring out that they have

294
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: him in a really good spot now. But yeah, now

295
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: it's just about that conditioning aspect. And you know, Shane

296
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: pointed out, and I didn't really think about this, it's

297
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: once you leave Cincinnati, you have seventeen days time. Yeah,

298
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: you have a lot of time that you can use

299
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: to you know, guys who have missed time in camp

300
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 2: or guys who need to get healthy get them back.

301
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, obviously like a guy like Juju Brnt who

302
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: we saw leave Saturday's game. Seventeen days plenty of time

303
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: to get him back from you know, the nose injury.

304
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: You can get ray Kwon Davis conditioned and up to speed.

305
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: You know, other guys that you know are just kind

306
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: of maybe have missed time here and there, whatever it

307
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: might be, or coming off of This is a rigorous stretch,

308
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: right just to fully get recovered from camp, joint practices,

309
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: preseason games, all of that, and that'll be huge for everyone,

310
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: but in particular, yes, a guy like Raykwon Davis, who

311
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: you know just needs the opportunity to get on the field.

312
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple guys injury updates. Just since you mentioned Juju,

313
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: Shane did say he expects Juju to not be out

314
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: for too long with the nose. Same with Tanner Bordolini.

315
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: He came out with a toe injury. Doesn't sound too

316
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: serious for Bordelini. Unfortunately, Jilani Woods it does sound serious

317
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: for him. Shane Stikeens said, Jolan he's probably gonna be

318
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: out for a while. He had a toe injury in

319
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the Colts preseason game against the Cardinals, So we'll see

320
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: what that means for him on the fifty three man roster.

321
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Just procedurally, if the Colts wanted to put him on

322
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: injured reserve, but get him back this year. He would

323
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: have to be on the initial fifty three man roster

324
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: and then the next day he could go on IR.

325
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: Because if you go on injured reserve before the cut

326
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: to fifty three, you're out for the year. That's what

327
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: happened with Wesley French had the ankle injury, he was

328
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: put on IR. We've seen that happen like last year

329
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: with Ashton Dulan, two years ago with drow Ogle Tree.

330
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: But if you think that guy's going to be back

331
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: this year, then you carry him on the fifty three.

332
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: So if the Colts think Jilani Woods will play for

333
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: them this year, I would expect he would be on

334
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the fifty three and then he would go to IR.

335
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: And I think, by the way, just one other thing

336
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. With the cut to fifty three,

337
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: that's next Tuesday. So it's coming up fast, like we're

338
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: talking about this, but next week we're gonna be potting

339
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: about the fifty three, right right, So this it's seventeen days,

340
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be a lot of stuff to talk

341
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: about and between.

342
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: There another notable return a guy who added to his roster,

343
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: Rigo Sanchez is back to practice.

344
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: So he was back.

345
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: He obviously in the Saturday's game with the birth of

346
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: their second child, to gratulations to rego and sit the in.

347
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: It's great to have him back. But hey, Spizer Trader

348
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: in there, Well, how about that? That was fun?

349
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: Right, he was booming some punks back there. That's got

350
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: a big leg. All right, So let's talk about the

351
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: preseason finale here against since he just we touched on

352
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: a couple of guys who we want to watch.

353
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

354
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Just the thing to remember about these preseason games, Laira

355
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: is it's gonna be Vanilla. You're not You're not putting

356
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: anything on tape. We've talked about this a lot. You're

357
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: these preseason games are a lot they're they're a lot

358
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: about conditioning. It's a lot about getting the speed down,

359
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: the physicality down. But you're not drawing up plays, you're

360
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: not game planning.

361
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: But Ba's to Philadelphia last year, Like, it was a

362
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: fun first half when those guys were in there. Yeah,

363
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: you know, with what Anthony was able to show, and

364
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: even when it was Vanilla, it was entertaining, you know, right, I.

365
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Mean, Vanilla can still be like some cool stuff, right,

366
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: It's not going to be like, you're not running the

367
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: touchdown plays that the Colts did in Week two against Houston.

368
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: You're not showing anything close to that in a preseason

369
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: game that it doesn't matter if Colts winner lose. I

370
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: want to see what the safety pairing looks like because

371
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: we're going to get kind of this extended look, one

372
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: last extended look before the regular season. Is it going

373
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: to be Julian at strong safety, Nit Cross at free safety,

374
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: or are we going to see some flipping around to that.

375
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: Nick Cross has played fifty six snaps this preseason. Thirty

376
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: have been at free safety, twenty six at strong safety,

377
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: So the Colts have got a lot of looks at

378
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: him in both of those spots. They know what Julian

379
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: can do. They trust him to play both the strong

380
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: and the free. Really interested to see how that plays

381
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: out tomorrow, Leara.

382
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: And it seems like that even however it goes tomorrow,

383
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: however it goes week one, that Shane's still open to

384
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: maneuvering things around and not locking those guys in to

385
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: one or the other for a long term. You could

386
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 2: see I think some switching in and out and some

387
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: versatility across that secondary with those guys.

388
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think whatever that pairing is tomorrow is not

389
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: necessarily what it's going to be in week one or

390
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: week four or well, you know, whatever it might be.

391
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: And the other thing too, is the way the Colts

392
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: do play defense on the back end. Yeah, there's kind

393
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: of some you know, some plays have a primary strong

394
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: safety in a primary free safety, but you see a

395
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: lot of rotation, a lot of you know, Okay, Julian's

396
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: gonna bail out and Cross is going to rotate down

397
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: to the box. There's a lot of that. So you

398
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: do need two guys who can play both positions. You

399
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: need a strong safety, you can play free you needed

400
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: free safety, you can play strong Colts, do you know

401
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: in kind of working with Cross in those positions, are

402
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: maybe developing a little bit of that in him.

403
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: And such a credit to this coaching staff for you know,

404
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: really finding a fit, a good fit, innate path.

405
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: For Nit Cross to find success too.

406
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: Right Like, obviously there was such excitement about him coming

407
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 2: out of the draft, and it just took a little

408
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: bit for him to ascend to the point where he is.

409
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: And it's really encouraging to see and really exciting because

410
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: He's phenomenal talent right out there, so he can be

411
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: a huge asset with you know, given the opportunity that

412
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: he has now within that defense.

413
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Something else I'm going to look for tomorrow. Lera is

414
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: and we kind of touched on it with the joint practice.

415
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: But the offense going up tempo, Yeah, that's that's not

416
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: something like you can do that and still be vanilla,

417
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: but that's like a conditioning thing. I thought. After the game,

418
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: I talked with Tanna Bordolini and he brought up a

419
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: really good point about preseason and like the difference between

420
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: practice and a game. And he told me that in

421
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: the in practice, you know, you're getting five to six

422
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: plays and then you're out. Yeah, right, in a game,

423
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: you might get three plays on a driver. You might

424
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: get fifteen plays on a drive.

425
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: Ye.

426
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: So okay, Hey, like this offensive line, those guys are

427
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: really well conditioned to run tempo. You can't do it

428
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: all the time, but you know, Ryan Kelly talked about

429
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: it yesterday that it kind of keeps the defense on

430
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: their heels that can't sub They can of these exotic

431
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: blitz packages, but you have to have the conditioning as

432
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: a team to be able to run up tempo, so

433
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe we see, you know, maybe just get a little

434
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: more of that up tempo in an actual game setting

435
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: that's a lo little bit more physical that that could

436
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: be an important thing to look for it.

437
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: I think conditioning and communication, being able to relay those

438
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: things quickly, you know, get your plays in so that

439
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: QB center combination in particular in those type of situations.

440
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: So you love to see that for Anthony and Ryan

441
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: to go through that. You know, and Ryan, you know,

442
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: Cincinnati guy talked about how much fun it is to

443
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: be back home for him, but you think about all

444
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: the different quarterback combinations that he's been able to, you know,

445
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: work with with the course of his career, and it's

446
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: really fun to see those two working so well in tandem,

447
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 2: like to see that communication as solid as it has

448
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 2: been like all camp, and that's just going to continue

449
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: to build too, because you've had so much time together.

450
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: Now, Yeah, there's so much value to have a veteran

451
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: center for a young quarterback. But the veteran center's got

452
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: to be good, Like you can't just be like, let's

453
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: throw a thirty five year old in there who isn't

454
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: good even though he's seen a lot of stuff. Ryan

455
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: Kelly has not only seen everything and can help Anthony

456
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: out with that, but he's also just a really good

457
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: football player. Right, Let's not forget this guy's a roll

458
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: bowler last year. He's a four time Pro bowler. Yeah,

459
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: really good football player. So you love having him in there.

460
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: Anyone else you're looking for tomorrow?

461
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: Era, Man, I'm just like, oh, I'm excited to see

462
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: a lot to get a chance back out there.

463
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 3: You know.

464
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: It was so fun talking to him in that first

465
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: preseason game because there was an interaction when Coach Partridge

466
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: told him, you're down, and he came back not an argumentative,

467
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't contentious at all, but he was just disappointed,

468
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: like he wanted to keep playing, and Coach P's like, hey,

469
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: I'm just taking orders here, like, and we kind of

470
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: joked around when I talked a lot too, and I said, hey,

471
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: there's plenty of bigger things coming ahead, right, like, let's

472
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: play the long game here. Excited for him to get

473
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: back out there, get a chance, just that infectious energy

474
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: that he has. I'd be great to see him for sure.

475
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: I'm also I mean, this running back conversation continues to

476
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: be really intriguing, you know behind Tri Sermon and my

477
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: goodness last week, Tyler Goodson with this run game, what

478
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: he was able to do for a second consecutive week

479
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: after the big week prior for Evan Hole.

480
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Both of those guys are finishing real strong.

481
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you talk about obviously you were breaking down,

482
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: you know, the roster dynamics, like that's one too, that

483
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: who's going to capitalize most on this final opportunity to

484
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 2: make that impression and solidify themselves a spot?

485
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: Do the Colts keep for running backs? Is now a

486
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having that we probably weren't having at

487
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: the start of training camp, And that's a credit to

488
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: Evan Hall and to Tyler Goodson for really pushing their

489
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: way in there. Just some other guys I want to

490
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: look for in this game as we kind of get

491
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: deeper down the depth chart. I want to see a

492
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: little more out of Jail and carlis hm hmm. He

493
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: got back out there against Arizona, but he missed a

494
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: stretch during training camp. He started camp great, Like there

495
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: was a day where you came to me and you

496
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: were just like that's my guy, and I was like,

497
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on like I'm a Maszoo

498
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: guy like Carliz is my guidance, right, But he had

499
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: a really good start to camp, kind of stopped with

500
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: the injury. Now he's back, I want to see a

501
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: little more out of him, whether that's on defense or

502
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: special teams, and then the backup tackles again. I want

503
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: to see Blake Freeland and Macknzaldez continue to work out

504
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: there and just see how they kind of handle I know,

505
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna be dealing with backups for the Bengals,

506
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: but give them one more marker before you go into

507
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: the regular season.

508
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: And it's still a really good Bengals defense, like you

509
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: you know, with the things that they do, and you know,

510
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: with the people that they have there, so it's still

511
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: you're still getting quality complications.

512
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: Right absolutely, and their front is really good. They do

513
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: some good things up front, even if you're not going

514
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: to see you know, Sam Hubbard or bj Hill or

515
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: those guys there. All right, Well, let's go two year

516
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: interview with Kay Adams here. Really good chat that Lara

517
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: had up at Grand Park with k Adams from the

518
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: Up and Adams Show. Here it is in the.

519
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: Best audible yet of the preseason. I am joined by

520
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: Uppen Adams, host k Adams.

521
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 4: You're on a whirlwind training camp.

522
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 5: Were like twenty stops too. Seriously, it's amazing.

523
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 4: I know because this wasn't exactly in the plan. But

524
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 4: you were like, I have to make it to Indy.

525
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: We wanted to be part of a plan. It's such

526
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: a puzzle to put together because there's early morning practices

527
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: and then they get canceled in weather and who knows,

528
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 5: West Coast Indy always part of the plan couldn't happen.

529
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 5: But now we added India in the notes, which we love.

530
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 5: We got here yesterday, like you said, easiest airport, life, unbelievable,

531
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 5: love it. Data at the Conrad Downtown. Thanks for them

532
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 5: for taking such good care of us last notice.

533
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: And here we are.

534
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: Well we When you came in this morning, you were like,

535
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: why are people sleeping on the colts?

536
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: I feel are people sleeping on the colts? Yeah?

537
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: You don't think so well.

538
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: I want to know from your perspective, because you're going national.

539
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm in the trenches here, so I need

540
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: I need you to tell me.

541
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: My perspective is that any injury makes everyone forget Joe

542
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 5: Burrow has talked about this a lot. Right he was injured,

543
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 5: he feels forgotten. He's going to be shot out of

544
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 5: a cannon. I have that same energy about the cults.

545
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 5: I do think we've never seen what Anthony Richardson is.

546
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: We don't know.

547
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: We look at them in college. I don't know what

548
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 5: a celebration is going to be.

549
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, yes, is.

550
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 5: He bringing it to the NFL.

551
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 4: He did it a little bit last year. You know,

552
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 4: let's keep it going, keep it going.

553
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 5: So those sort of questions, you know, it seems like

554
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: a bit of a mystery is the vibe. But I

555
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 5: don't have a mystery. I have a coach who coached

556
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: and schemed and called plays and engineered a nine win

557
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 5: playoff contending team where your star quarterback and your eighteen

558
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 5: hundred yard rusher Jonathan Taylor played two Measley snaps together.

559
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 5: So to me, this is a team that should not

560
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: be slipped on. It is the biggest like falsity going

561
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 5: around in the NFL right now, and I just can't

562
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 5: wait for going against the next as Let's go.

563
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: It's huge.

564
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean right out of the gates or in the division,

565
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: the team that bounced you from.

566
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: The playoffs last you're like that though, I love it. Yeah,

567
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: it forces you to be ready right, Like it's.

568
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 5: Just does any NFL team like know what they are

569
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 5: week one? I would have a little bit rather be

570
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 5: I think it'll be very emotional. You have are two

571
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 5: you know between even just Jonathan Taylor and Anthony Richardson,

572
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: Like they are so probably hungry to get out there,

573
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 5: no question, and then to put it into you know,

574
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 5: Anthony and c dis. I think for me as a fan,

575
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 5: as a viewer, I love it. Do you know it'll

576
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 5: be interesting to see at the end of the game,

577
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: will I have learned anything about the two teams or

578
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 5: in six weeks will be they could be completely different.

579
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 4: Oh, I think you'll. I think you'll learn something by halftime.

580
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it'll be that the clearly indicated

581
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: just with the way this is all going to have

582
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: to shake out. And you know, we've talked a lot

583
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: about the continuity that there is on this roster. I

584
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: mean all of the guys who you spoke with on

585
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: your visit here, guys who have been here.

586
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: You know, we're at least here last season. Shane Sdyke

587
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: in a.

588
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: Second year with him and there is a vibe around

589
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: this team right now.

590
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: That feels a little bit lighter.

591
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 2: It seems like that this is the most fun that

592
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: this group has had in a really long time. What

593
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: was the vibe you got in talking with Shane and

594
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: the various guys that you got to talk to out

595
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: here about how they're feeling at this point?

596
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 5: You can't Humility, I would say, is a leading thing

597
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: for sure. Depot rolled up on a scooter, Yeah, on

598
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: his off the pace, Yes, the fat yeah plank, awesome

599
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: music here on an off day. You know. Shane Stike

600
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 5: and said that he let them sleep in a little

601
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 5: bit more this morning. He's got big decisions he has

602
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: to make about playing time and snaps and all that

603
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 5: and like things needs to learn in the preseason. But

604
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: it's really got a sense of humbleness and enjoying being

605
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 5: sort of the quiet before the storm. I do think

606
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 5: Week one is going to be a crazy matchup. I

607
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: think this is this is an absolute playoff team. I

608
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 5: put my my stamp on that right now, the way

609
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 5: it is. But yeah, I think some of that consistency's

610
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 5: really going to help. But the truth is, you know,

611
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 5: it might not be a numbers game, but percentage of

612
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 5: what it matters to not have your quarterback out there

613
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 5: and your star rusher, like that's going to be that's

614
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 5: going to be hugely different and they're going to need

615
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 5: some preseason reps to figure that out.

616
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 2: And you're calling it playoff team right now, and you

617
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: said this week's ago, you were doing like a little

618
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: Q and A on Instagram and somebody was like, surprise

619
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: playoff team and you said, rhymes with Schmaltz, and.

620
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, yes, I love this, Like I mean, this

621
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 4: was like a month ago or something.

622
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: And in talking with Joe Flacco last week, because he

623
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: had a previous relationship with Shane prior to coming into

624
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: this team, one of very few new editions that the

625
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: Colts made, and he just said he can't wait to

626
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: see Shane's offensive mind at work with Anthony Richardson in

627
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: these game like scenarios. You talked to head coaches all

628
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: across the NFL. What do you like from your conversation

629
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: with Shane? His fit with the second year with this team,

630
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: just kind of the aura that he gives off.

631
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 5: I think I like what everybody else said about him

632
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 5: the second I brought up his name and him I said,

633
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: does he get enough credit? And right away you have

634
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 5: the glimmer in the eye, you have this smork. You

635
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: have somebody like Anthony Richardson the quarterback saying I think

636
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 5: he's a genius. That's what he said. He is a genius.

637
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: And you can't help but believe that I heard the

638
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 5: words grit edginess about this coach who really couldn't be

639
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 5: more kind and warm and affable, going into doing practices

640
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: with a guy who's gonna have an absolute chess match

641
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 5: in Jonathan Gannon. We know, you know, he's gotten the

642
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: best out of quarterbacks like Philip Rivers. We just saw

643
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 5: what he did obviously in Philly, and he's got this,

644
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: you know, one of one in Anthony Richardson, in my opinion,

645
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 5: the most gifted quarterback in the NFL. I have every

646
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: player say to me today, name one that's more gifted.

647
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 5: I guess you know, you could say whatever. But those

648
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 5: two put together, you know, the decisions of whether or

649
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 5: not he's gonna run through the air, do whatever. Having

650
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor, having Quentin Nelson like it's about to go off,

651
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: and don't sleep on this defense that's coming that they

652
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: you know what's between Zaiya and e J. Speed. I

653
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 5: can just tell you the energy from these dudes d'po

654
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: of course in talking to them, having them on up

655
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 5: and atoms like, this is a team that feels maybe

656
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 5: a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Even though

657
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 5: I like that, they're not admitting it.

658
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: You do. Why do you like it?

659
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: I just like the idea of underselling and being over delivering.

660
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 5: Why say it?

661
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: Just show it in so many of the teams that

662
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: you talk with though, Like you have these big personalities,

663
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: you aren't afraid to state it right, you aren't afraid

664
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: to put it out there.

665
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 5: Just say tyry Kill's name, I mean right, Like, don't.

666
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: Even get in the Noah Lyle's conversation because I don't

667
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: don't have time for that.

668
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 4: But you know this team, they're so humble. Do you

669
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 4: feel like that they is that good?

670
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: Or do you feel like that you want to see

671
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: a little bit, a little bit more bravado or are

672
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: you good with it?

673
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: It's there? Diifa wants to respect. I think his voice matters.

674
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 5: I think he wants a super Bowl. He'll do anything

675
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: to get it because.

676
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: He came so close and the same and of course right.

677
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: And he alluded to it on himself. It's the whole thing.

678
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 5: It's a whole like you know, it's a story arc

679
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 5: that's impossible to root against. You want him to get it.

680
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 5: Everything's here. I don't know how else to say it.

681
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 5: I feel like the energy of you know, I wish.

682
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 5: I think Anthony Richardson wants to show it. I was

683
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 5: trying to get what motivates him today he said, I

684
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 5: think I got to his family. Oh, it's one hundred percent. Yeah,

685
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 5: And I think it's fame, money. I don't think it's

686
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 5: any of the things. I want a super Bowl, but

687
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: he's doing it and putting on for his handling.

688
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: Exactly because of how hard his mom worked to put

689
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: their family in a position for him to have the

690
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: opportunities to play football and do all that. I also,

691
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: in hearing from some of the other guys and talking

692
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: to Michael Pittman Junior, he said that he thinks that

693
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: Anthony's really.

694
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 4: Motivated by seeing you know what c J.

695
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 2: Stroud was able to do, you know what Will Levis

696
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: was able to do for the time heightens like those

697
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: guys who were within that draft class Price young right,

698
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: there were so many quarterbacks that were right there. And

699
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: Anthony was the one who didn't have a chance to

700
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: show a full season, and so he's motivated.

701
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: I had a good thing.

702
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: But I just think that's something.

703
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: That maybe Anthony isn't maybe acknowledging quite as much, but

704
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: that other guys around him aren't afraid to be like, Yeah,

705
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: he's motivated by this in a really good way. It's

706
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: you know, not not animosity in any sense. But you

707
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: saw the mutual respect that CJ and Anthony had when

708
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: they saw each other last season, and.

709
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: We'll see it right out of the gates this year. Okay,

710
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: best or most important question today? When did we get

711
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: you back?

712
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 5: Oh? My gosh, I don't have somebody. They they sort

713
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 5: of take me like you know, like those things the

714
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 5: machines are the toys, Oh the claw machine. So Kat

715
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: is my claw and Hamilton and they take me and

716
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 5: they smoved me from place to place. They've officially no

717
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: agency over my own life at this point, and so

718
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 5: I would talk to them.

719
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: So just yeah, Kat, have got give me.

720
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 5: The I mean, give me the game. Is it week one?

721
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: There's I mean, there are a lot of really good

722
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: I think Week one for sure. I also think, you know,

723
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: a Bear rivalry Bear. I think Bear's Colts week three.

724
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: I think Texans cults. As far as rivalries, I love

725
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 5: a rivalry. I'm trying to make the Packers Bears sing.

726
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 5: I'm trying to drum that up, even though it's been

727
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: one in fifteen.

728
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's pretty I think it's pretty high

729
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: right now. I think that, you know, it's obviously Tennessee

730
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: has always been one, and that's it's a little bit

731
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: different this year.

732
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: Dere bad blood with Tennessee.

733
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 5: No with Texans.

734
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean just this way.

735
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: They spoiled it last year, you know, and I think

736
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: that even went to early in the season. That's the

737
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: game that Anthony initially got hurt in, right, So this

738
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: is there are a lot of like storylines under the

739
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: surface there that are are bubbling up a little bit.

740
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 5: So he fo going up against Amiko Ryans. That's a great,

741
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 5: little unheralded storyline in the mix of their.

742
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think that for a long time

743
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: the narrative was.

744
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: Like, okay, like Colts and Jags like that. You know,

745
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: it's been a difficult place to win. Going to Jacksonville

746
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: has been hard, But I do get the sense with

747
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: like the new regime of these new coaches, with these

748
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: new young quarterbacks, that this is start, I mean to

749
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: kind of become, at least on a national scale, the

750
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: battle that everybody wants to see.

751
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: Give me the thing that you need me to be

752
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 5: talking about. I depend on you. You are here. What

753
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: is the thing that you want kay talk about this more?

754
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 4: How scary this run game is to defend?

755
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: With Jonathan and Anthony Richardson, I asking the game.

756
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: I asked EJ.

757
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: Speed about this, about how well it prepares you when

758
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: you have to account for both of those guys you're

759
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: going up against them, And he said, I cannot wait

760
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: to watch this offense go to work when we're off

761
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: the field, when I'm on the bench, I'm not gonna

762
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: be sitting down because I want to see what those

763
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: guys have to do with everything that's available.

764
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 4: The entire playbook is open.

765
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 5: Cannot wait. It's gonna be scared, and then Pittman will

766
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: get open and you don't have a receiver. I think

767
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 5: who barks for the ball here? Which is rare and

768
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 5: amazing and super helpful for Anthony Richardson as well.

769
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, they're all like very team centric

770
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: like Mitchell looks good. AD's ad is great. He's been

771
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: a great addition to that room, the dynamic, and there's

772
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: super fun like how can you not have a fun

773
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: room with Reggie Wayne? Like that's and Pitt's vocal when

774
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: he needs to be, but he's very selective. He's lead

775
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: by example, but then he also can me vocal. He

776
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 2: strikes that perfect balance of exactly what you need with

777
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 2: what is primarily a really young, you know group with

778
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: like Alec Pearce, Josh downs Ady, Mitchell, and then you know.

779
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 4: Pitt's your elder states.

780
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 5: Oh gee, who is the well who who did Pittman say?

781
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: It was Philip Rivers when he was here? And then

782
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 5: who did he say it took over? Is Buckner? Oh

783
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 5: oh old head?

784
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think buck or Ryan Kelly. Like Ryan

785
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: Kelly's your longest tenured Colt, he's your center. Like those

786
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: are the guys who you know, they're like in their thirties,

787
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: they've got kids. They you know, they're like the established,

788
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: like they're kind of the father figures, right, a little

789
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: bit like very steady all of that.

790
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll say this with the Colts, and it was

791
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 5: a very short thing, but Anthony Richardson said it, and

792
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 5: I got one of those chills that you only get energetically.

793
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 5: And you just said, I'm here now. That's my takeaway.

794
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 5: I'm here now and just just just put that in

795
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 5: your whatever and whatever like that's that's the story of

796

798
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: to prove that I'm back.

799

Speaker 4: He's going in with something to prove this season.
