00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: what did you do on your bye week?

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get into that later because there's a game

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: kind of bigger fish to fry around here. And before

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: we start looking at the next four weeks of the

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: cold season, it is a one week at a time

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: season here. I will get into the Denver Broncos, but

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: I want to have a little fun with you guys

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: if you can double team on this one. Look at

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: me as a You guys are filmmakers, okay, and I'm

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: a big money coming out of my pockets Hollywood film producer,

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: and I want to make a great NFL film about

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: a team that has to win four straight games to

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. There's nothing else you can't in this film.

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: You can't lose one. You have to win, right, you

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So you have to win all four,

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: and not only that, you have to be the attention

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: of other teams around that league. I want you guys

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: to sell me and we're going to make this film

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: together and is that team the Indianapolis Colts four game

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: winning streak into the playoffs, the talk of the NFL, Lara,

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: give me your thoughts, Sell me on this, Why this

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: is the team that's going.

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: To do that? Well.

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 4: Part of it is just look at the schedule that

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 4: you have ahead. It's a very manageable schedule. Once you

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: get past Denver, that's going to be certainly your most

31
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: significant challenge to this point. The Colts really need some

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: of those kind of quality wins, if you will, like

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 4: the win they got over the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: this season. If this is this is what I was

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: talking to Matt Taylor about this this week. It's kind

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: of one of those what's there to prove situations? Right,

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: like the Colts can, should they be able to slay

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: the Denver Broncos and what they've been doing, especially from

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 4: an offensive standpoint this season. This solidifies that you can

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: put yourself in that conversation to be seriously considered, because

41
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: I think people want to poke holes in some of

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: the other ones. Oh well, you know they barely got

43
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: by New England and it was you know, last minute

44
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: went over the Jets or whatever. You know, whatever you're

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 4: kind of that's from the national standpoints what they're going

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: to try to do. My standpoint, win's a win and

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: two none more impressive because of the fashion in which

48
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson led you to victories in those situations. So

49
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: for me, yes, I think that that the Colts should

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: be atop the conversation. You build the screenplay around this one,

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: and your starring character is Anthony Richardson, because this is

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: really his time to shine, his opportunity to prove what

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: he can do on the road. Hostile environment. I remember

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: what was it before the Jets game. Everyone was asking him, well,

55
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: you know, what's the coldest environment that you've played in,

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: you know, coming from the SEC, and he's like, I

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: don't know. It was like thirty degrees when we played

58
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: Vandy one year and that type of thing.

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: So he wasn't.

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: He was very much so kind of downplaying, like playing

61
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: in the cold and all of that. Now forecast doesn't

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: look quite so bad for being in Denver, but going

63
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: to be way colder in New England then yeah, exactly.

64
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 4: So really situation off actors considered from that standpoint look good.

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: It's really just you know, how do you handle the

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: crowd noise there, you know what that atmosphere is going

67
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: to be like. But I do think that Anthony Richardson

68
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: leading this team to a victory in Denver would give

69
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: him a nod for you know, best lead character.

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Is it all? Is it for their sake? It's not.

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: It's not all on Anthony. But if you're if you're

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: asking how the Colts can not only make a run, sure,

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: but then and be fair, be a team that I

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: don't really want to play them in the playoffs. It's

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: going to be because of five. That's what it's going

76
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: to be. He is the he has the talent to

77
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: be a guy who you don't want to face in

78
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Now he's not there yet. He's twenty two

79
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: years old, is his second year as a starter. He's

80
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: just I think what thirteen starts the same amount he

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: had in college. Like this is he's got ways to

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: go for it. But if you're looking to make a

83
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: case for why, you say the Colts get in as

84
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: a wild card and they go on the road to

85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo or Pitts and those teams are like, really, it's

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: gonna be it. That's gonna be annoying to face this team,

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be because number five is like you know,

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: he can come out and make plays in the playoffs

89
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: with his legs, with his arm. That's what you're looking

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: at right there. The flip side of it, your defense

91
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: has to be better, Boom. You are not going to

92
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: be able to sustain the defense that you had played

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: for the first thirteen weeks of the season over the

94
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: course of this run. If you want to be feared

95
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, Okay, you can make the playoffs, but

96
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: if you want to be a team that goes into

97
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo and gives that team all they can handle, you

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: can't do what you've done against Buffalo earlier this year. Right,

99
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: You've got to be more buttoned up, Like Kenny Moore

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: the second talked about it. You know, you've got to

101
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: be more together on that side of the ball. You

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: got to make more plays. You can't allow as many

103
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 2: easy completions. I think the Colts have probably spent the

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: bye week trying to figure out some stuff to get

105
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: that defense tuned back up. And the buy comes at

106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: a really good time where you have a lot of

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: games to self scout, you have a lot of tendencies

108
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: to self sk out, how do you kind of grow

109
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: off of those now going into Denver?

110
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: Can I just piggyback really quickly with your your mention

111
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: of the Bills.

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: Was anyone else super irritated that we got the other

113
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: game instead of like we get one day, we get

114
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: one signs, Sparers Niners, we get one Sunday afternoon to

115
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: sit around and watch games, and you like, give me

116
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: the option, somebody let me go over to that game.

117
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't have red zone because you right.

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: Have domes every Sunday.

119
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: Exactly, so you're not able to take avantage of it.

120
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: So the one situation in which I like went and

121
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: got ale Emporium, you know, herman shouts to Hermanaki Wings

122
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm saddled up to watch a little

123
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: late Sunday afternoon football, and this is what.

124
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: She got done of a Bear's forty nine ers game.

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: And instead, you know, it's like being at you know,

126
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: like some like lame party where you know, this other

127
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: party that you didn't get invited to. There's having a

128
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: lot of fun over there, like turning tuning into stuff

129
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: and like being like, oh, but you know Bill's rams

130
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: Game of the Year.

131
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: And they're doing the game breaks, so you know enough

132
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: to be jealous, right.

133
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta have valid at this point.

134
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: A sorry, and that was my grievance with the TV

135
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: network schedule or whether you're.

136
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Bellied up to the bar or on your couch, you

137
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: should be able to watch whatever. Well, but I know

138
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: there as you can, you can, but you're we're not.

139
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: We're not. You're tied up on Sundays. You're I get

140
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not paying for the extra package because

141
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm at the games and like the folks in my

142
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: household are going to watch the Colts.

143
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it's drastic, and then we'll move out to

144
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Defensively, speaking with this same film script,

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about need to find the team four straight

146
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: wins and stuff. What's the difference. Here's what's the difference

147
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: from where they've been with this Guss Bradley defense. To

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: be in that team that people are going to fear

149
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: and going on a four game run.

150
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: Defensively, it's going to start with DeForest Buckner continuing to

151
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: be just awesome. Like I think it's been kind of

152
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: quiet how good of a season he's having because he

153
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: missed some time. You know that the Colts defense statistically

154
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: as a group is not near the top of the league.

155
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: But Buck is having another awesome season, Like he is

156
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: wrecking stuff in the middle against the run, against the pass.

157
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: I think it's going to start with him continuing to

158
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: take games over, take moments over in these games, and

159
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: then I think you want to see more out of

160
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Layatu Latu. You look at some of his underlying numbers,

161
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: like his past rush win rate and it's pretty good.

162
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: I think it's the highest on the Colts. More more

163
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: growth from him coming out of the BI Can he

164
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: make more of an impact. You're getting, you know, decent

165
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: production out of guys like Quidy Pey and Dio Dangbou,

166
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: you get Taekwon Lewis back. I think it's that D

167
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: line that's got to be the engine. That's what this

168
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: team was built around. That. So this defense was built around,

169
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: was the defensive line being a group that you can

170
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: have lead victories on that side of the ball. That's

171
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: what I do these last tea.

172
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, question, guys, is alearro with you is when we're

173
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: talking about defensively speaking with the Colts and not not

174
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: looking down the line on this, but we are we're

175
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: going into the Denver Bronco game.

176
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: Now, excuse me, but like.

177
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: The talent level of the next four weeks as far

178
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: as offense is speaking, is this the biggest concern of

179
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: you guys defensively speaking, as far as facing a passing offense,

180
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: because you're talking about Jacksonville, you're talking about the Titans,

181
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: and of course you're talking about the Giants on the

182
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: other three, is this rookie bow Knicks the biggest one

183
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: that we should fear when it comes to Hey, we

184
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: need to button up our defensive backfield, we need to

185
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: slow this kid down, and more importantly, we need to

186
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: get turnovers.

187
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's not just you know, what he's

188
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: done of late, it's how consistently he's been playing.

189
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: You know, like the entirety of the season.

190
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: He hasn't gone through what you tend to sometimes see

191
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: from rookies where it's a little bit of a roller

192
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: coaster for the quarterbacks that you face. He's by far

193
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: been the most consistent, right, I mean I think that's

194
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: a factor.

195
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: He started every game. The next three teams have ed

196
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: guys in and out.

197
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, yeah, started every game.

198
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: But then also just like you know, really good levels

199
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: of production, which that's a credit to the group he

200
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: has around him, the way that he uses the weapons.

201
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: They are game plan to put him in a position

202
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: to succeed. So he's somewhat a very unrookie like type

203
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 4: of quarterback.

204
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: Makes sense because he's what twenty four years old, twenty five,

205
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: He's played a ton of college football.

206
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: Sixty sixty college games, sixty one college games.

207
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of what you would expect, right and like

208
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: hope to get. And the Broncos are absolutely getting like

209
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: the upper bound to what you hope to get out

210
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: of bon Nicks as a rookie. I think it goes

211
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: to Sean Payton. The job he's done there has been fantastic. Obviously,

212
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: the offensive line is really good. They've got, you know,

213
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: a couple of playmakers and receiver Courtland Someton's are really good.

214
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: Play big receivers too, but yeah, big guys, big targets.

215
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Lately though, that offense has been pretty tuned up. They

216
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: have been really good. I think over the last four

217
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: games their top ten in scoring, their top half of

218
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: the league in a lot of metrics like yards per play,

219
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: EPA per play, stuff like that. So they they're starting

220
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: to hit that ascent that you want to see out

221
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: of a team late in a season. And then, oh,

222
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: by the way, like their defense might be the best

223
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL. I think it's like them and the

224
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: Eagles are like right there best in the NFL.

225
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: What they're allowing only about eighteen points per game on average.

226
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: Like this defense they are. They smother you on you know,

227
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: they don't allow anything on the ground. They don't allow

228
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: anything through the air. Nick Benito's second in the NFL

229
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: in sacks and he's got eleven. Jonathan Cooper's got eight sacks.

230
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: Their interior is awesome. Jonah Ellis or not, excuse me not,

231
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Joan Ellis. Zach Allen is a really good player. John

232
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: Ellis is also a really good players. And then yeah,

233
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: by the way, you just have probably the best cornerback

234
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL in Pat Certan. And if you look

235
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: at his numbers, teams don't throw at him. He's only

236
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: been targeted thirty six times.

237
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: I saw that stat. This is this is not good.

238
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,479
Speaker 2: I mean not not. I'm not saying it's good right here.

239
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: But this defense is this defense, and we're gonna find

240
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: out more. This defense is for real, like, like you

241
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: just said, a no name. I don't want to call

242
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: him no name with the certains back there and stuff

243
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: like this, But like you said, that's the thing, people forget.

244
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: This defense of the Broncos is for real. Our second

245
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: year quarterback is going to be facing not only the fans,

246
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: not only the elements, but a stick good defense out

247
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: there on.

248
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: Their home vance. Joseph has done a great job there.

249
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: They're aggressive, they send seven man pressures quite a bit.

250
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: They they do funky stuff to get guys like Nick

251
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: Benito in situations that they can make an impact rushing

252
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: the passer. It's a really really like Denver when you

253
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: watch them, they're just a really well coached team across

254
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: the board. And I mean, like you mentioned, like their

255
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: their defense, Like Nick Benito is not a household name.

256
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: Jonathan Cooper, Zach Allen, these guys are not. You're like

257
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: Bradley when they had Bradley Chubb, right, that's a household name.

258
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: They ship him off to Miami and their defensive line

259
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: gets better. Because I think they're just really well coached.

260
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: They've got I mean, certainly guys with talent. Nick Benito

261
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: is a second round pick, but they're coaching them well,

262
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: they're developing them well, and I mean Denver absolutely by

263
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: the way, they're outperforming expectations this year. This is a

264
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: team that I think a lot of people looked at

265
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: them and said, maybe they'll maybe they'll sort of be

266
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: in the mix, But like, is bo Nicks really the answer?

267
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: What real talent do they have? On offense? They were

268
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: talking about trading Courtland Sutton, they traded Jerry Judy to

269
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: the Brown season. You know that they don't have a

270
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: ton of like superstar level players across this whole team,

271
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: maybe outside of Certatan, but guess what, they got a

272
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: superstar head coach. I think they got a superstar defensive

273
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: coordinator in Vance Joseph. And you're seeing this whole team,

274
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 2: like the sum of the parts being just really really good.

275
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: And I think one of the reasons that they were

276
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: really overlooked is just because of the division that they're in, right,

277
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: I mean, that's part of the reason that they were

278
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 4: and to their benefit, I think that that's worked for

279
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: them so far this season. But when you're there with

280
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: the Chiefs and the Chargers, you kind of are going

281
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: to be, you know, the the not the last to

282
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: be thought of. But you're you're gonna be in that

283
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,239
Speaker 4: secondary conversation because all the focus is gonna.

284
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: Go on like can the Chiefs do it again? Right?

285
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: And then the expectations with Harbaugh, you know, going to

286
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: LA and they.

287
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Haven't made the playoffs since twenty fifteen, and wow, I

288
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 2: think about that, that's the second longest playoff drought. And

289
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: you think about like everything that's happened since Peyton Manning retired,

290
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: and they have cycled through coaches, they've cycled through quarterbacks.

291
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: They traded a bunch for Russell Wilson and then they

292
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: ship him off and they take this huge dead cap hit,

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: but they go get Sean Payton and it works.

294
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Guys, we're up at Westfield, it's July, it's whatever you

295
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: want to say. It's in that era and we talk

296
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: about who are the seven teams, eight teams, nine teams

297
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: that are gonna make the playoffs? That game we always

298
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,119
Speaker 1: play in this stinking offense in the offseason.

299
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Denver was not up there for me. And that's no.

300
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Disrespect to the fan base or the football team. You

301
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: guys are are going way above and beyond, especially with

302
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback like that. But I was not talking

303
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: about Denver in the mix with four games to go

304
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: with a playoff run in front of us.

305
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 2: So you guys are both absolutely right.

306
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: You bring a guy like Sean Payton and I'm just asking,

307
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: do you believe that if Sean Payton had the number

308
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: one draft pick in the NFL draft this past spring,

309
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: that he would have taken Bo Nick?

310
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: Oh? Caleb Williams.

311
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: Right, Caleb Williams was kind of far and away the

312
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: number one guy forever when you.

313
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 4: Talk to gms and scouts like across the league, that

314
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: was the guy.

315
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: Like and I know like Drake May, Jade and Daniels

316
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 2: and Bo Knicks have been better this year, but like,

317
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: let's give it some time. Let's not. Let's not the

318
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: cement has not dried on this draft class at all.

319
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: Let's let's give it a little bit of time.

320
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: I would be really interested to go back and like, see,

321
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: did anyone you know, prior to the draft, would anyone

322
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: have said they'd gone a different direction? You know?

323
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: Was there anyone you would go on record saying that

324
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: Nate Tyson, who's I think had Drake May ahead of

325
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. Oh, it's like a real player, Yeah.

326
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: Oh, we're talking about that last week for sure, But

327
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: at the time, Yeah, I think everyone kind of would have.

328
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think the consensus largely was Caleb

329
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: and I think I think if you, if you, you know,

330
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: give him some truth serum, I think most people would

331
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: probably I've seen even if you're happy with bo Knicks

332
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: right now.

333
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: I'll just give my bonex. I saw two throws of

334
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: him when he was the last year that he played.

335
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I saw two throws of him where he's running outside

336
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: the hash if you will, to the right side and

337
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: threw completely across the field and a rope.

338
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: For a completion. Those sort of throws you go, well,

339
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: not many can make that throw.

340
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: This kid's gonna be good this upstairs, because he obviously

341
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: has the armtail.

342
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: Heck, even in the preseason when we saw him here

343
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: at Lucas oyl Ctity and what was he fifteen of

344
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: twenty one over one hundred yards passing with a touchdown.

345
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: I mean, and yeah, it's it's preseason, and then it's

346
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: you know, it's watered down and you know you're not

347
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 4: showing everything, but.

348
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: Still it's a decent little look, you.

349
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: Know, when you're talking about a guy who's playing his

350
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: first in a like also, I.

351
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: Mean think about too, like you were talking about the

352
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: Broncos being overlooked. I pulled up bow nicks game blog

353
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: this year, and the first four weeks of the season

354
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: not very good. No, like, you know, he's a rookie adjusting,

355
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: but it's sort of like, okay, he you know, they

356
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: lose in ugly fashion to the Steelers. They win that

357
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: ten to nine game over the Jets where he throws

358
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: for sixty yards, and it's like, okay, is bo Nick's

359
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: really the answer? This is a good lesson in not

360
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: not making evaluations off h yes first four games of

361
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: a guy's career, because lately, I mean, you look at

362
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: this game he had against Atlanta where he went twenty

363
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: eight of thirty three. That's eighty five percent for three

364
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: oh seven and four touchdowns. Yeah, well, like okay, okay,

365
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. And then goes out against the Raiders

366
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: he completes almost sixty percent of his passes, so that's

367
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: down a little bit, two touchdowns, no picks. And then

368
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: this game he had against the Browns that was fun.

369
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: That was like Chuck and Duck. I didn't know bo

370
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Nicks had that in him.

371
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know Jameis Winston had that in him. Well,

372
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean like, guys, no, you're talking about Jerry Judy.

373
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean he was that. That was fun watching those

374
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: offenses go back.

375
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: It was like the most Jamis Winston game poss YEA

376
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: for five hundred yards and two pick sixes. So that

377
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: game was awesome. But bo Nicks like that, what was

378
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: that the ninety three yard touchdown? He had the mims

379
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: where It's like, well, I didn't know we had that

380
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: ability in him. That was that was okay?

381
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: Bananas? Yeah, yeah, I remember going back and watching that one.

382
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: Because I just start miss. I really hadn't watched him,

383
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: you know. I watched the a little bit of that

384
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: game they had on Thursday night against the Saints, which

385
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: is another ugly game. They won it thirty three to ten,

386
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: but he only threw for one hundred and sixty four

387
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: yards in touchdowns point with thirty three points on one

388
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four yards, no touchdowns, no picks, sixteen

389
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: to twenty six. And I was like, yeah, all right,

390
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: and then you come back to that game on Monday

391
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: night and I'm watching Bonick being like, this kid's got he's

392
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: got some moxie to him, like he's pushing the ball

393
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: against a really good Browns defense. That I came away

394
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: really impressed with Bonix and that.

395
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: Game in the last three games which the Broncos go

396
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 4: into this one having won the last three bo Nicks

397
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 4: three for three hundred and seven yards, two hundred and

398
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 4: seventy three and two hundred and ninety four year.

399
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's helming just like you said. I love

400
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: that thing that both of you guys agreed on. Don't

401
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: ever judge anybody in their first four games, especially a

402
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NF.

403
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: Don't ever judge anyone in their first like year or two.

404
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 2: You can't make sweeping conclusions about guys.

405
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: On one side, I love that you're bringing up the

406
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: stats and what we saw early from bow Knicks to

407
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: where we are. Let's flip the switch to number five.

408
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: We opened this podcast with him. I went to bank

409
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: the Colts Audio Network listeners out there as well as

410
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: all the YouTube viewers. Anthony Richardson, Guys, he's from Matt Taylor,

411
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: and you know Matt Taylor's vault of stats and stuff.

412
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: But yes, I just want to get your your thoughts

413
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: on this because We are basing this show based on

414
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: we need to win out, you know what I mean.

415
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: I know it's a one week you know, one game

416
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: a week season. We can't look ahead, but for this

417
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: show's purposes we do so. Anthony Richardson, is this straw

418
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna start the drinker? And I know it takes

419
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: more than just one man here, but some Colts passing

420
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: games deficiencies that maytay.

421
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: Brought up three and three.

422
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: This team is when completing twelve or fewer passes this

423
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: season again, three and three this season, when completing twelve

424
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: or fewer passes this season, four and three on the

425
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: season when they throw for less than two hundred yards

426
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: this Colts offense. Okay, my question to you is we're

427
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: talking about a four game run that has to change

428
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: or that.

429
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: Can stay consistently. Right, here's based on a running game. Here.

430
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: Here's my take is, what if the Colts make a

431
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: run here, what it looks like is gonna be kind

432
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: of disorienting. I don't think you can look at priors.

433
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: I don't think you can look at you know, they

434
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: got to hit this mark in terms of passing. It's

435
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: probably gonna look kind of weird. It's probably gonna be

436
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: a lot of Anthony Richardson running the football and establishing

437
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: it that way, and you know, hopefully you get some

438
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: efficiency and not as many interceptions and turnovers. But I

439
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 2: just think it's gonna look kind of weird and we

440
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: might get to the end of the Anthony Richardson is

441
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: playing in the playoffs with the sub fifty percent completion

442
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: percentage as possible, that is absolutely possible. The way this

443
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: team can lean into their run game. You gotta get

444
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor going on the other part of that more.

445
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: You can't just rely on Anthony Richardson. But we have

446
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: seen over the last three weeks the kind of weapon

447
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson is with the ball in his hands, and

448
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: that's something I would expect Shane Stychen to lean into

449
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: over these final four games as you're trying to make

450
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: a push.

451
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: Larra concerns about that those stats that we run off

452
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: because we on bo Nicks on the one side and

453
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Anthony on the other. But this team's fighting a way

454
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: to win. JJ's right, lean on the Jonathan Taylor in

455
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: the run game.

456
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not overly concerning, because you know, it's kind

457
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: of like, don't judge you know, Bo Nicks on those

458
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: first four games. Don't judge Anthony just on the last three.

459
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 4: You know, Like, I think that this is finally where

460
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: you have seen him establish, like I don't want to say,

461
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 4: like a level of comfortability, because I think he's always

462
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 4: had that, but now being able to be back having

463
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: consecutive weeks taking the starting reps, you know, being back

464
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: in that role, now you're starting to see those situations

465
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: like when he goes to Alec Pierce, you know at

466
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 4: New England, where you're finding that level of uh.

467
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: Maybe like consistency, productivity.

468
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: The trust is being built there now that they've had

469
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: a few weeks, you know, back with this whole offense,

470
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 4: roll and move in together. And I think that this

471
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: has reinforced how much belief there is in Anthony Richardson.

472
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: I think that you're seeing how much this offense, you know,

473
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: has confidence in him, has conviction in him to put

474
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 4: him in certain positions or to trust him in certain positions.

475
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: So I think that.

476
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: He's really feeding off of that going into this week.

477
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: Guys, health wise, everything is important this time of year,

478
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: and coming off the bye week, let me start with you, JJ,

479
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: where are we at health wise. Obviously, Josh Jllens will

480
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: be coming back, should be a full go this week,

481
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: not gon Wood, but.

482
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: Let's go across the board. We don't know that yet. Yeah,

483
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: that's true. That's me doing well.

484
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: No more on Wednesday, Yes, but we'll know more Wednesday.

485
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: What do you guys think health wise? We're talking like

486
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: we can start on the offensive if you're there. But

487
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: I think overall, in my opinion, unless you guys proved

488
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: me wrong, we're sitting pretty good off health life.

489
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: Speaking, Yeah, it would be big to get Ryan Kelly

490
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 2: back this week, that this is the earliest he can

491
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: come back off of IR. Getting a veteran in I

492
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: think for that environment in Denver, if he's able to play,

493
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: that could be really important because that like watching that

494
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: Monday night came, that place is juiced up. They have

495
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: not had a winner in a long time. Denver's a

496
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: great football town. That place looks like a real tough

497
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: place to go into and it has nothing to do

498
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: with the altitude. It's the crowd. Getting Ryan Kelly for

499
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: that I think would be big.

500
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 4: But from the injury standpoint, to you guys, you mentioned

501
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 4: Josh downs Ryan Kelly from the defensive standpoint, what do

502
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 4: you think outlook for Jalen Carlis or Juju Brant or

503
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: two brands those guys are because Shane talked about them

504
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 4: just briefly, just kind of making good progress. But they

505
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: were people who were mentioned right before me right right

506
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: was that right before the buyer right for the New

507
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 4: England game camera.

508
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: Both of those guys were. It wasn't season ending when

509
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: they were not, I are there was a chance both

510
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: either or both could come back. So maybe with the

511
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 2: bye week, maybe maybe it's not just Brian Kelly getting

512
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: activated to return to practice that I don't know that

513
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: I'm guessing. I think, like you, I'm trying to speak

514
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: that into existence here, possibility, but getting Carliz back would

515
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: be would be a real nice boost for the linebacker room.

516
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 2: And then getting Juju Brentz back, if you're able to

517
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: get him at all this year, that would be a real,

518
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: real nice little lift for the cornerback room. Just getting

519
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: those guys back for depth. At this point, the thing is,

520
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if either of them are gonna just

521
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: pop right back into the starting lineup. Because you've got

522
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: decent play out of Grant Steward, right, You've got decent

523
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: play out of Sam Womack. I don't know if you're

524
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: just gonna say, all right, hey, these two guys are

525
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: going to pop back into the starting jobs they were

526
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: in prior, but at the very least having those guys

527
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: there for depth would be really important.

528
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: It's just the factor of having everything at your disposal

529
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: right exactly, having as many assets and as many weapons

530
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: at your disposal for when you need them.

531
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: You know, hey, uh, before we get into the JJ

532
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: krnacky portion of this thing where we look at at uh,

533
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: we're going to be scoreboard watching colts know what, Colts fans,

534
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: you just have to you win, you're in you know

535
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: what I mean, that sort of thing.

536
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: But people like us scoreboard watch.

537
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: But like, like going into this final four games of

538
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: this season, you know what that locker rooms you.

539
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Spend time in there.

540
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: The veterans that that you think outside of DeForest that

541
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: could make an impact on that locker room to say,

542
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: I've been in.

543
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: The league for a few years, here's what we're looking at.

544
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: Not to hear that from the head coach or the GM,

545
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: but to hear that from a veteran, who.

546
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: Is that guy one of the go ahead do you

547
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: got one, say, Sire Franklin, I think certainly one of

548
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 4: them Quentin Nelson Yeah too.

549
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 2: For me, I think it's a lot of guys who

550
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: are like Buck Aside, who are on that twenty eighteen team.

551
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

552
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: And I just think in general, like CU's a guy

553
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: who I don't think is hyper vocal.

554
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: He you know, he uses his word selectively right, like

555
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: it's meaningful, like Win.

556
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: He talk what he says, and he does a lot

557
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 4: of lead by example, And I think for this offense

558
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: he's certainly one of those integral pieces in terms of

559
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: setting that tone I think you have. You know, you

560
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 4: look to those guys defensively. There are not a lot

561
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: of names you could toss around. You probably throw Kenny

562
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: Moore into that conversation too, along with you know, Buck

563
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 4: and Z. And I think we're going to look to

564
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 4: the offense for Q and the role he plays. And

565
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 4: this is something I talked to him about on COLT

566
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 4: three sixty this week, was what do you have to

567
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: do to put Anthony in a position to be successful

568
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 4: in an environment like Denver? And he just talked about,

569
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 4: you know, the communication and harping all the details and

570
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 4: doing things over the course of the week. So my

571
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 4: thinking is those are things that they're going to be integrating,

572
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 4: you know, every single day building up to this. And

573
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: I think he is going to be central too, because

574
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: we've got to wait to see what happens at center, right,

575
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 4: if Ryan is back, you know, if it's is it Danny?

576
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: You know, where is Tanner Bordolini at this point? So

577
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 4: I do do look to Quentin's role. It's always significant.

578
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 4: I think this week in particularly.

579
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 2: And I think you know, his leadership in that room

580
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: will be big for any young guy who might need

581
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: to play in that game right where, Hey, you know,

582
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: this is a tough place to play. They are gonna

583
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: come at you. Like I was talking about with the

584
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: edge guys Benito and Cooper, those guys are gonna come

585
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: at you in this game. It's gonna be loud, it's

586
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. The other guy who I also think

587
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: could be a bit of a help just thinking about it,

588
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: is Bernard Ryman. Oh yeah, I remember that first start

589
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: he had in the NFL was that Thursday night game

590
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: in Denver where it was rough.

591
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: That was his first start.

592
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: That was his first start, and it was it was rough.

593
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: He got he got beat quite a bit in that

594
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: game redemption time. But well, but the thing with Bernie

595
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: is that he came back off of that and he

596
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: never flinched. Like, remember what this is? Back in training camp,

597
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: Quentin Nelson said that game like, I think I don't

598
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: remember exactly what it was, but it was essentially like

599
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: do we take Bernie out? Do we keep him in?

600
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: And Bernie's like, no, I want to keep playing, and

601
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: C's like, all right, I can play next to this

602
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: guy like he is in it. He is you know,

603
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: you're trying to just keep your head above water, but

604
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: he wants to keep competing, he wants to keep fighting.

605
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: I think that's a good lesson for anyone in this game,

606
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: anyone on this team. Hey, if we're having a little

607
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: bit of an issue in this game with the environment,

608
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: fight through it. Fight through it like Bernie did two

609
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: years ago, and you will come out better for it

610
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: on the other side anymore.

611
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore one of those guys. Yeah, we're in a position,

612
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: guys where we hold our own future right in our hands,

613
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: and we all know around here how stinking tough it

614
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: is to make the playoffs in the NFL. If you're

615
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: a Colts fan, I just hope those guys are stepping up.

616
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: I was just curious what you thought. We're gonna find

617
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: out a whole lot more from Shane Stiken come Wednesday.

618
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: It's in a few hours from now, twenty four to

619
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight, thirty two hours from now, whatever it is.

620
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: Plus get a practice under the belt, and it's all good.

621
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: But like I said earlier, we're gonna be doing some

622
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: scoreboard watching and JJ, if you could start with this

623
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: really quick. No help from Cincinnati last night, Well, actually,

624
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: no help from Dallas last night, if really long, Wait

625
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: a second, I wanted Dallas, who spit the ball up

626
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: late and obviously gave it back to Burrow.

627
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: I just wanted Cincinnati out of the pick.

628
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh on a special team's gaff.

629
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing. If the Colts take care of

630
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: their business, the Bengals don't matter. Okay, the Bengals. If

631
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 2: the Colts take care of their business, the Bengals cannot

632
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: be ahead of the Cults. Okay, there is not a

633
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: scenario in which the Colts go nine and eight or

634
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: ten and seven and the Bengals finish ahead of them.

635
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 2: But the Bengals can help the Colts out if the

636
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: Colts have to go down that break glass in case

637
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: of emergency nine and eight path. Yeah, if say, okay,

638
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: say this is how it turns out, the Colts, the Broncos,

639
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: and the Bengals all are nine and eight to end

640
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: the season, Colts make the playoffs. But if it's just

641
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: Colts and Broncos and the Colts lose to the Broncos,

642
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: obviously Denver makes you introduced that third team, and the

643
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: Colts win every three way tiebreaker at nine and eight

644
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 2: or ten and seven, It doesn't matter what teams are

645
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 2: in it, they win every single tie breaker.

646
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: Really, okay, encouraging I like that.

647
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

648
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: I just thought, well, Cincinnati, I kind of put my

649
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: foot on your throat there.

650
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: I take it back. I mean, also, I would rather

651
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: the Bengals have something to play for when they host

652
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: the Broncos in week seventeen. Yeah, because if the Colts

653
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: beat Denver, they still need Denver to lose one more time,

654
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: and you go to Cincinnati and the Bengals are trying

655
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 2: to make a little push here at the end.

656
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: Who who do the Broncos have the last game of

657
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: the season, if it comes down.

658
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: To something like that, is the City Chiefs who will.

659
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: Not be playing quarterback for the Chiefs that day in

660
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: your opinion, if everything's all sowed and tied up there

661
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: in Kansas City.

662
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: Oh, you think the rest of homes.

663
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: I think Carson, Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz.

664
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: Thing, Carson Wentz. We need, you want him to redeem

665
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: him side.

666
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: We need to get behind Carson Wentz potentially in week

667
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: eighteen to up end the Broncos. And I mean, I'm

668
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: just saying the possibility.

669
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: Let's let's not, let's not. Let's worry about that when

670
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: we get.

671
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: That's right way ahead of myself.

672
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: Yes, you do want the Chiefs playing for something in

673
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: week eighteen, Yeah, if the Broncos hadn't lost by then.

674
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: But the other thing is the pat There are a

675
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 2: lot of different paths the Colts can go down if

676
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: they beat Denver. The easiest one is you just be

677
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: one game better than the Broncos down the stretch and

678
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Another one is you are two games

679
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: better than the Chargers or the Ravens down the stretch.

680
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: And then the other one is your three games better

681
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 2: than the Texans, Yeah, to make the playoffs. So there

682
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: are paths. They're difficult, they're tough to navigate, but they

683
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: exist and it isn't all just about Denver.

684
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: We mentioned Kenny Moore the second and they're kind of

685
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: conversation about you know, those who can draw upon the experience,

686
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 4: those are the voices in the locker room. How about

687
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: Kenny Moore the team's nominee for the Walter Payton of

688
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: the Year now the second time for Kenny Moore's debserve

689
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 4: so well deserved for Kenny. We were able to surprise

690
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: him with the announcement that video went out he's been doing.

691
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 2: It was great. By the way way that I was

692
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: in the car with my wife were running errands during

693
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: the bye week, and she started watching it and she

694
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: was like, I was expecting to cry at this.

695
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: That was kind of the our overwhelming like reaction being there.

696
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 4: And he has been doing a lot of work with

697
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: Cardinal Ritter High School this year and so went to

698
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: Cardial order to help to have their student body, help

699
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 4: surprise Kenny and do some things.

700
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: But just a little bit of perspective.

701
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 4: There are the off days the Tuesday, which are typically

702
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 4: the player off days. I've been doing some things and

703
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 4: I have seen Kenny go from doing community events from

704
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: eight nine in the morning till seven o'clock at night

705
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 4: and going around to different he's a Cardinal Ritter, and

706
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: then he's out at you know, another organization, and then

707
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 4: he was you know, one morning he was volunteering providing

708
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: coats and shoes to young kids, and then he was

709
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 4: at Cardinal Ritter, and then he was doing another event,

710
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: and then he was a I mean, it's just been

711
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 4: non stop. His commitment is just so admirable. And you

712
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: can just tell here's one thing about Kenny.

713
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: He's so invested.

714
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 4: He's so authentic, and it's so much about the connections

715
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: that he makes, in particular with these kids. A lot

716
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: of his work is impacting the youth around Central Indiana.

717
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: It's just like beyond.

718
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: The thing I respect so much about Kenny is that

719
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: it's one thing to give money, and money helps. Money

720
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: absolutely helps, right, It's another thing to show up and

721
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 2: showing up and giving a talk that helps, and then

722
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: it's another thing to give money to show up and

723
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: then to form those authentic connections with the people who

724
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: you're you're around like that that right there, That's why

725
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Kenny is such a like a bright light in this community.

726
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: It's not just because he donates his money and he

727
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: donates his time. It's that he he understands the value

728
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: of those relationships and those relationships help him too. Like

729
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: he's not just doing it because it's like, hey, this

730
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: kid needs help, It's like he genuinely wants those and

731
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: you know, he's such a an authentic person and nothing

732
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore than Second does is fake at all at all,

733
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: And that part of it is just so cool to

734
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: see and like to be around it, like you know,

735
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: you and I are lera and to kind of you know,

736
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: witness it from you know, a distance sometimes is like

737
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: man like he's he is such a pillar in this

738
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: community in a way that is so genuine to who

739
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: he is. And it's so rewarding, I think for everyone

740
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: in this organization to see the kind of impact that

741
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: Kenny is making. And then you know, this honor that

742
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: he got, he gets the Walter Payton Man of the

743
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: Air for the second time is so well deserved, such

744
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: an honor for him, and you know, you just like

745
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: one of those guys. You just couldn't be happier for.

746
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Anybody who buys Maamba House Surprises in that video you

747
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: want to talk about tear Jerker.

748
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: Look that one up.

749
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore surprising his mom with a house from a

750
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: few years back. Congratulations two three. You are great on

751
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: the field and you're great off the field, obviously in

752
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: a couple of big fans in JJ and Lera as well. Guys,

753
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: this has been a good one. I know we're getting

754
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: down to it right here. Anything notes, any notes you

755
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: guys want to mention before I go into some college

756
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: football angles that are coming up in the state.

757
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: So all right, I want to put a cap on

758
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: this Broncos game because Denver is a really good team.

759
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: I think Denver is a really, really good football team.

760
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: But the Colts have an opportunity coming out of the

761
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: bye week to raise the raise some of their issues

762
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: and turn though not maybe turn them into strengths, but

763
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: turn them from being weaknesses to just things you can

764
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: you can live with, you can win with. And then

765
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: the stuff that you can win with right now has

766
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: to become a strength. You've got to have your your

767
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: quarterback be a strength. You've got to have, you know,

768
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: keep having your offensive line be a strength. Your run

769
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: game needs to be a strength. The other thing is,

770
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: I hope you know we're talking about health I wonder

771
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: how much the bye weekend up with guy like Michael

772
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: Pittman JUNR. So it's been his way through this back

773
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: injury for two months now, can that help him out?

774
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: And you know, can he come down the stretch and

775
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 2: make a big impact. There's a lot of opportunity here.

776
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: And just because the Broncos look like they might be

777
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: a tier or two better than the Colts right now,

778
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: does not mean that we are going to end the

779
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: season with that being set like that. This is a

780
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: huge opportunity. And then the other part of it that

781
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: I just I want to emphasize this game, whatever happens

782
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: in it is going to benefit Anthony Richardson. It is

783
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: going to benefit him over the course of his career

784
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: to play in a game like this and hopefully the

785
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: Colts win and hopefully he gets to play in a

786
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: playoff game. But regardless this game and the experience he's

787
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: going to get in an incredibly hostile environment in Denver

788
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: against a really freaking good football team, he will grow

789
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 2: from it. He will be better from the big regardless

790
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: of what happened.

791
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: The biggest steaks on the table for his career or

792
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: this game, I mean, this is this is the biggest

793
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: game of his career. This is playoff implication.

794
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 3: Talking porterhouse Steak, that's how big the stakes.

795
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: Maybe little bon and ribi, Yeah we're not. We're not.

796
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: We're not talking. Yeah, we're not. We're not yet to

798
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 2: get when that's when you start making it in another

799
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. To get the tomahawk, that's a bigger You.

800

Speaker 1: Got to follow these two on Twitter x at larra Oulverton,

00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: there Wednesday. It starts the boys are on the practice

805
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: field and this march to the playoffs. It's like no

806
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: other situation in sports in my opinion, That's what I'm saying.

807
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: We know what it is. It's win and you're in.

808
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, if this team finds a way

809
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: to win four in a row, this city is going

810
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: to be nuts come around playoff time and we're gonna

811
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: need something like that because it's gonna be snowy, it's

812
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna be cold, the team's.

813
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: Gonna be on the road.

814
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: It looks like I mean, perhaps for a thing, I'm

815
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: just saying the buzz around the city the next four weeks,

816
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: Colts fans get fired up, start tailgating now even for

817
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: next week's game against It doesn't matter. I'm saying, this

818
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: is the big stuff. This is the NFL, the biggest

819
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: show in town, and the Colts have an ability to

820
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: be the talk of the NFL with a nice stretch

821
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: and people are gonna say, oh, well.

822
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: Week schedule from here on. I don't care.

823
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick said it best. You'll want to be playing

824
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: your toughest football and your best football after Thanksgiving and

825
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: the you know, the situation is set for that. So guys,

826
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: great job for that today. Obviously, again, Colts dot com

827
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: has all the latest at Twitter X at learra Overton,

828
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: at JJ Steak. It's we also have some other football

829
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: that they play on Saturday usually around here in this state.

830
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: But I want to know both of your you've guys

831
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: got ties to both of these. In my opinion, the

832
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: college football playoff game, if you look at the big board,

833
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: the biggest and best game on that board, JJ, we

834
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: talked about it is Notre Dame in Indiana you covered

835
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: that program for a few years down in Notre Dame,

836
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, South Ben.

837
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Also, the toughest ticket to get your face.

838
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: Is on the walls of Indiana University. So I'm saying, like,

839
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: this is good for me, streight, little Notre Dame field,

840
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: little thing. It's the best game on that CFP argue

841
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: with me on that. And I'm saying, like, what are

842
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: the stakes for both teams?

843
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 2: Here?

844
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Notre Dame comes out on top, it looks like this,

845
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: You comes out on top. It looks like that.

846
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean here, here's the stakes for it. I

847
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: you as they're playing with house money. Yeah, and if

848
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: Indiana goes into Notre Dame Stadium but wins that game

849
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: in this state, the Irish, You're never gonna be able

850
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: to lift that one down, No, never. But Notre Dame

851
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: beats Indiana, It's like, that's fine, That's probably what should have happened. Like,

852
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: Notre Name is a powerhouse, this is where they should be.

853
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: This is not where Indiana is a football program. The

854
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: losing his program in college football history should be. It's

855
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: awesome that they're there, but like, if Notre Dame loses

856
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: this game, I mean, fans are gonna be apoplectic about it.

857
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: I will. I will be tuning into dy Nation the

858
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 2: message boards for us. You haven't been around dy Nation?

Speaker 2: We got message boards still exist for a segment of

861
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: the Notre Dame fan base, And boy are they a

862
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: riot when the Irish lose a game they shouldn't lose. Yeah,

863
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean you can't. Yeah, boy, you really can't. Before

Speaker 1: You mean slaying them? Or just like I mean incredible

868
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: informative stuff? Are you talking about everything?

869
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: Not formative?

870
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: No, just hilarious entertainment? Yeah, okay, level entertainment.

871
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: Lara, Where was Signetti at this point here in Indiana?

872
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: Like where he's up here now as far as like

873
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 1: one of the greatest coaches in Indiana.

874
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: The man got right in votes for the presidential election.

875
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean like he is.

876
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: After one season coming from James Madison. Like he's up here.

877
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,640

Speaker 1: boom me all you want. He's up here right now.

879
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: But he loses to Notre Dame. He stays here and

880
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: it's still successful and he loses in the first round

881
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: and boil boy, thanks so much.

882
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: There's seasons of success regardless, Yes, but if you beat

883
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, you go up here and that season.

884
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 4: You're not saying like moral victories, No moral victories here,

885
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 4: You're not going out if should you lose, you're not

886
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: going out there and pattern back, Oh well, at least

887
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: we got this far.

888
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. This is the never.

889
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: Daunted Indiana Hoosiers under the leadership of Kurt coming at

890
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 4: you Signetti. All right, this is what the Hoosias are doing.

891
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: They're coming at you. They are out to take it all.

892
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: They are not just going into this thinking, oh, it

893
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: would be nice to win a game at Notre Dame.

894
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 4: This is a we're gonna punch you in the throat,

895
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 4: you know, biting knee caps to steal one from Dan Campbell.

896
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 4: This is a vicious Indiana football team who knows that

897
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 4: everyone has said, oh, there's all this controversy, did Indiana

898
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 4: deserve it? They didn't play anybody.

899
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: They've heard it all.

900
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: They know that there are doubters in college football that

901
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 4: don't think that they, you know, earned the right like

902
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 4: maybe some other programs in other conferences, you know, may

903
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 4: have who played a tougher schedule this and that. Yeah,

904
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 4: Indiana is not just going in to Notre Dame to

905
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: go to beat Notre Dame. Indiana is going in to

906
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 4: prove that they're a team that is positioning themselves to

907
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 4: go try to make a run in this playoffs.

908
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 3: Because no, no, that will not happen.

909
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, I won't.

910
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 4: I I cannot fathom that would be like the most

911
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 4: un Indiana.

Speaker 2: Like both these games are being played on campus, Like

913
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,719

920
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 2: When you win?

921
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: I know, but then you've got to go and you

922
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,160

Speaker 1: They haven't been there.

930
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 3: You can act like it, I know, like, but that's

931
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: the thing, you.

932
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,359

933
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 2: act like you've been there before. Sometimes I plant the flag, baby,

934
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: professional and college, I think on the corner. Yeah, I

935
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: get it.

936
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: And by the way, I really win.

937
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: You're probably right win with dignity ear in the respect.

938
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: I have a stink with you.

939
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: N C double a Scott Dolson, you mentioned him a

940
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: you a d the IU fan base, the IU universe.

941
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: They get three thousand tickets.

942
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 2: That a home field advantage, get a home JJ. I disagree.

943
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: It's college football playoffs. This is different.

944
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: You mean to tell me Indiana's getting three thousand tickets

945
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: to go to the fans three thousand chances to go

946
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: see their team of a huge Notre Dame stadium and

947
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: we're in the first round of the college house.

948
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 2: You can get more tickets. What's that beat Ohio State?

949
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: You can get more tickets your host a home game.

950
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying okay, yeah, but I

951
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: just at that point of the season, at that point

952
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: the stakes.

953
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: It's the first year with this twelve team, YadA, YadA.

954
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: I thought, hey, if you're gonna give three.

955
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: Thousand normally like they do on a regular game, whether

956
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: it's Week seven or week four, it's the college football playoffs,

957
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: give them half the stadium.

958
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: No, no, no, give him a quarter of this now,

959
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: absolutely no, JJ point of having made it to the

960
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: college football No. The point of having the games on

961
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: campus is to give those teams a home field advantage.

962
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 2: It's not for fairness. It's because Notre Dame is a

963
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: better team than Indiana this year, so they get to

964
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 2: play there in it.

965
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: So you just say, beat Ohio State your host, and

966
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: same thing for three thousand.

967
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: I just think it. I just think it stinks. Anyway.

968
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: I want, I want, you know, a bunch of noise
