00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: still watching that weather forecast. I know, I'm doing the

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: same thing looking in the nineties. I'm checking out the humidity.

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,959

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: so it's not like it's we're not used to it.

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: We've had air conditioning to get into. Don't have that

36
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: in the radio tent at grand Ark. At least it's

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: im much shaded it is. That's why that's I was.

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 1: I was in favor of those morning practices. Not bad,

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,840

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: we get into the heat of the day. Even then

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: those ones last year, but yeah, these these ones stall

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: starting at noon. I'm gonna I gotta lose about fifteen

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: pounds during training camp, just sweating it off. It's gonna

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: be great. I'm good with that. I could use I

46
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: could use, you know, a little bit of waste sauna case.

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: He's in the sauna with the towel. Yeah, there's a

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: good image here, you go as I'll put around my

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: was John Thompson, I was wear around my neck. You

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: know the old Georgetown coach that drape, drape it over

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: your shoulder. Burgess Meredith, it's o get that guy some

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: lipped a nice tea. Well, we got some things to

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: talk about ahead of training camp. We got some uh

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: looking at some players who we think deserve some more

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: hype than they're getting. We got bold predictions for training camp.

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: And we're gonna take a little trip in the Colts

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: time Machine, which is a segment I love that Maytay

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: put in here. We got a chat with Ziah Franklin

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: coming up that Lara and Mate did earlier this month

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: about his foundations. Celicia's Angels Our mail Bag a random

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: thought of the week. That's all coming up on this podcast.

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: So let's start here with coult training camp being a

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: week away. This is a team that I think you

64
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: hear people around the NFL talk and like, yeah, the

65
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: Colts got a pretty good team, but it seems like

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: there are some guys who are getting overlooked both locally

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: and nationally. So let's talk about some of the guys

68
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: that we think maybe aren't getting the hype that we

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: that they maybe deserve. I mean, obviously you've got guys

70
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: like DeForest Buckner, Darius Leonard, Jonathan Taylor, those guys they're

71
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: always going to get the hype. Matt Ryan. There's a

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of hyper on Matt Ryan, especially from a national perspective,

73
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: which I think is really interesting about what he can

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: do in Frank Reich's offense. Coults also made some other

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: big editions this offseason unique and got ways to find Gilmore.

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: So may start with you on this what players on

77
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: the Cults Ruster deserve more hype than they're getting right now?

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: A week away from training King love It. I jotted

79
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: down a few few on offense and a few on defense.

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Mo Aley Cox, Nick Cross, safety Will Fries, Tae Kwon Lewis,

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: and E J. Speed tell me about Molly Cox on

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: the Colts love him great blocking tight end. Maybe not

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: as good as Jack Doyle, but pretty darn good. I

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: think he was the sixth best blocking tight end last

85
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: year in terms of run blocking grade, and you know,

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: the Colts bring him back in free agency. I just

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: think he's ready for more. I think the Colts need

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: more from him in the passing game. He's still gonna

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: be that f tight end, the why tight end is

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna be more like the Kylan Grants in the Jilani Woods.

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: But Mo is he's he's ready for a bigger role,

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: and I think he deserves more hype in this offense

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: as a playmaker going into the season. I mean, I

94
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: think Mo's run blocking it's really underrated. He was early

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: on in free agency too, like the Colts didn't mess

96
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: around with that. That's why I think he deserves more

97
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: hype and is going to be more prominent than what

98
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: we think initially about him going into the season. I

99
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: know I've talked about this a lot on this podcast,

100
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: but the stuff the Colts did in their run game

101
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: last year with Mo and Jack on the field at

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: the same time some of the stuff they were able

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: to get into with that big twelve personnel. Moe's the

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: one left out of that, and mos a really good.

105
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Like you said, he's a really good runblocker. Maybe he's

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: not as accomplished as Jack Doyle, but he's still one

107
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: of the best run blocking tight ends in the NFL.

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: That still allows you to get into some certain concepts

109
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: with Mo out there. For Jonathan Taylor, he was successful

110
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: in last year, so I got him on offense. I

111
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: got Nick Cross on defense. And the screwed up thing

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: about Nick Cross, this dude can't even go to like

113
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Alonporium right now when order a beer. He doesn't turn

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: twenty one until September, and so the start of the

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: regular season is when this guy's gonna legally get his

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: first drip of alcohol in a bar. You know what,

117
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait for it. So I just saw this

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: tweet they came across about the MLBY All Star Game,

119
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: and now I'm going somewhere with this, So hang with

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: me here. So twenty one year old Julio Rodriguez the

121
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners is in the All Star Game with Albert Pooholes,

122
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: who was in an All Star Game with Cal Ripken,

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: who was in an All Star Game with Johnny Bench,

124
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: who was in an All Star Game with Mickey Mantle,

125
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: who was in an All Star Game with Peewee Reese,

126
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: who was in an All Star Game with Melott, who

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: is an All Star game with Babe Ruth. We can

128
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: do this with Nick Cross, give it like, give it

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: like fifteen years because Nick Cross the same team at

130
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: the same time. It's like Kevin Bacon and Movies, right,

131
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: And we could go from like like Nick Cross to

132
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: like Roddy White, to go like all the way back

133
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: until we get to like, you know, like Merlin Olsen

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. Probably let's start with Ed Reid,

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, because they both play the safety position. But

136
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: I just think with the retirement of of Cary Willis,

137
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a factor on this team, probably a

138
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: big one before season's end, and thus I think should

139
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: be getting more hype in we should not count out

140
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the fact that he might be the starting safety, you know,

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: week one, depending on how that battle goes between he

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: and Ronnie McLeod. So I've got will Fries because of depth,

143
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Tykwon Lewis because of depth, and then who knows if

144
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: we're going to see Darius Leonard this training camp. So

145
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: I throw EJ. Speed because outside of the amazing takeaway

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: plays and the game changing ability of Darius Leonard, which

147
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: is what makes Darius Darius Leonard, I think EJ. Speed

148
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: is Darius Leonard two point zero. He's fast, he's range.

149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I think he's invaluable to the Colts on special teams

150
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: and defense. He's a great depth piece that I think

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: deserves more hype because of what he can do from

152
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: a versatility standpoint on the roster. So I know I

153
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of stole the show there, but I got a

154
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: lot of guys that I think are deserving them more

155
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: hype because I think they're going to play a bigger

156
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: role than what we think. I think piggybacking off the

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: guys you said, I also threw in Grover Stewart. He's

158
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: a guy that I think in this room and I

159
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: underrated this building, very very underrated. We all know the

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: impact that Big Grove has. He's one of those guys.

161
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: He's just You've got the great personality. We all love

162
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Big Grow but then what he does on the field,

163
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: he's really seems like year and year out. He gets

164
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: better each year each time he steps on the field,

165
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: So I think he is a key piece of that defense.

166
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: And this was gonna be a little a little off

167
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the off the wall a little bit. Michael Pittman Junior.

168
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about all the other pieces, but

169
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of a name that we just kind of

170
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: throw him out there to go. He's to go to guy,

171
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: but there's not too much talk about I think we're

172
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: just throwing him out there and assuming he's gonna get

173
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: his thousand yards exactly. And I'm really anxious to kind

174
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: of see what, you know, just having a guy a

175
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: veteran presence like Matt Ryan, what that does to Michael Pittman. Also,

176
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: you've got that emergence of Jonathan Taylor, which gives you

177
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that other dynamic inside that offense. So I'm really anxious

178
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: to kind of see where he elevates his game here

179
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: this year. We saw on Good Morning Football. I can't

180
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: remember the guy's name, but he was talking about he

181
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: thinks Michael Pittman Junior at the end of the season

182
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: could be the bet one of the best receivers in

183
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: the game. So you know there's there's a lot of

184
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: hype now starting, you know, as we're gearing up for things,

185
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: so I'm anxious see what he does here, and you'll

186
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: lead a Madden raidings adjustment. I don't know what his

187
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Madden raiding is, but he's It wasn't in the top

188
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: ten um now there was Jamar Chase, so I guess,

189
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I wouldn't feel too bad

190
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: about that if it was Michael Pittman, but yeah, we'll

191
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: probably see a ratings adjustment for him. I don't think

192
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Unique and Gockway, the Colts trade to get him, is

193
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: getting a knough hype nationally. I agree, Like, it's like

194
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: every time I hear it, it's like, and the Coults

195
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: traded for Unique and Gockway, and it's like, and the

196
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: Colts traded for one of the most consistently dominant pass

197
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: rushers in the NFL over the last six year, and

198
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: it was a player for player deal. Yeah right, they

199
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: didn't have to give up a draft trades, right, No, yeah,

200
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: exactly traded and you traded a cornerback, a solid player

201
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: and rocky scene in his own right, who probably didn't

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: fit Gus Bradley's system for a guy who there have

203
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: been two players in the NFL since twenty and sixteen

204
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: to have eight sacks every year, and it's unique. And

205
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Gockway and Aaron Donald, I mean pretty again, the Colts

206
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: traded a cornerback, yes, for a defensive end, and not

207
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: just any defensive end of the year, as you says,

208
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: you chronicled JJ one of the best most consistent defensive

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: ends of the last six seven years. So it's it's

210
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: amazing what they were able to pull off just in

211
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: terms of positional value in the trade. So I always

212
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: think about this, and this is something that my late

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: colleague John Muonmullen at NBC Sports Chicago always told me

214
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: because he the thing he always talked about was Richard Dent,

215
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: who played for the Colts for a little bit. The

216
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Colonel always said that to be a great defense you

217
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: have you had to have three great pass rushers. It

218
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: was his rule of three. When the Colts got unique

219
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: in Goackway, you pair him with DeForest Buckner and an

220
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: ascending Quitty pay there's your rule of three right there.

221
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Because you can't block everyone. You can double one two

222
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: of those guys on a play, but someone's going to

223
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: be singled up and whether it's Quitty or Unique, or

224
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: you get DeForest in a situation where he's singled up

225
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: on a center, which is an awful matchup for pretty

226
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: much any center in the NFL, or a guard. I mean,

227
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: whatever it is, um that to me. Getting Unique and

228
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Gockway gives the Colts that three really good effective pass rushers.

229
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: And then you go third and long and bring in

230
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: the NASCAR package. You get into third and long against

231
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: this team and you might go quitypey Dio dangbo to

232
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Forrest Buckner and Unique and Gockway yep, and then on

233
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: the outside shutting it down, hopefully you have a healthy

234
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore playing at his close to twenty level came

235
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: the second and then you know, if you want to

236
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: get nuanced, you got Darius Leonard coming off a blitz

237
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: and he's got fifteen career set. But I mean, the

238
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: thing is Gus Bradley. Gus Bradley's defense is he doesn't

239
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: blitz a lot because he doesn't at its best for him,

240
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to. Hopefully, like last year with the Raiders,

241
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: they didn't blitz a whole lot, but they had Unique

242
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: and Gockway and Max Crosby on the edges. Now you've

243
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: got I'm not gonna say Quitty is gonna be Max Crosby,

244
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: because Max, I mean X Crosby was probably the best

245
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: defensive end in the NFL as year, in no disrespect

246
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: to t J. Watt Um, but you throw it to

247
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: Forrest Buckner in there. That's a presence that the Raiders

248
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: did not have last year. That's a presence that even

249
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: those Chargers defenses with Joey Bosa didn't have. Now that

250
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about the defensive line, I want to double

251
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: back to a guy that I had on my list.

252
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there should be anyone more, you know,

253
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: personally excited for his own sake for the upcoming season

254
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: than tykwe Lewis. Yeah, because he was really on the

255
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: come before his season ended abruptly last year with that

256
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: torn was a torn peck torn proud, I mean, and

257
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: that was like the most cruel injury I think I've

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: ever seen in the NFL. Interceptions just off culture up

259
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: two scores? Was that two scores or the chance to

260
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: go up to it was a chance to go up

261
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: to a chance to go up two scores and then

262
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: fumble and then it returns in a plus territory like

263
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: the I mean the best highlows yeah and then yeah.

264
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: But he was rightly playing great. Signed a one year

265
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: deal in the off season. Just so excited for him

266
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: personally to see where he can pick up where he

267
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: left off. And just the attitude. No one has a

268
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: better attitude than Taekwon Lewis. I'm really hoping he can

269
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: capitalize on a healthy season this year and be part

270
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: of that mix. I mean, he's not He's not going

271
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: to be a starter. He's probably not gonna play like

272
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: sixty percent of the snaps, but man, he's going to

273
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: be a factor, and the cults trust him to be

274
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: a factor part of that eight man rotation, if you will.

275
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: On the defensive line. He showed versatility last year to

276
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: play inside and outside. So just really excited for what

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: this season could be for him. Casey, anyone we're missing here,

278
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's a handful of guys who

279
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: are missing. I mean there's certain guys like I look

280
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: at it, like Rigaberto Sanchez, he's one of the best

281
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: punters in the league. I mean, I don't know if

282
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: we're gonna put him in that category. Those are the

283
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: kind of guys that I'm sure we're missing, but you

284
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: always talk about offensive. There's so many of those guys

285
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: on this team that I'm sure we're missing, but they

286
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: just go out and they do their job and they're

287
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: they're perfect for one what this team is. So when

288
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: you have those elite players when we talk about you know,

289
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Buckner's and Leonards and Matt Ryan, when they do their job,

290
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: everybody else just kind of follow suit. And that's where

291
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: you have a good collection of a roster when you

292
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: can just trust everyone to do their jobs. All right,

293
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: let's talk some bold predictions. They've kind of got our

294
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: camp chooses flowing. Give me one bold prediction each of

295
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: you guys for what we're going to see up at

296
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Grand Park starting next week. Casey, what's the hill You're

297
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: going to die on? The two? My bold prediction is

298
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: that Bernard Ryman is going to be your starting left

299
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: tackle when Week one rolls A good one. That is,

300
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: it's hard because we don't know anything. We really don't

301
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: know anything. We haven't seen him in pads, never played

302
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: played the preseasons of now and then you got Matt Pryor,

303
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: who we saw very limited of I don't want to

304
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: say this in a bad way. It's a crapshoot really

305
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: to know what's going to happen, because we're fascinating either way.

306
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: But I am really intrigued when they get pads on

307
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: and we get a chance to really see what is

308
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: happening up at Grand Park. But that's my bold prediction,

309
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: is that Bernard Ryman is the left tackle they drafted

310
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: and the guy that's going to be there, hopefully for

311
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: the next decade. Got wow, I like that. Actually, that's

312
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: really good. It's really really good. That is bold too,

313
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: by the way, And that's gonna be fascinating because you've

314
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: got a guy that has one career start at left tackle, right,

315
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: but he does have experience in the league versus a

316
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: guy that's you know, coming from Austria, you know, transitioning

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: to the l you know, was a former tight end

318
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: now offensive lineman. All Right, my bold prediction, it's gonna

319
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: sound bad, but it's actually good. Jonathan Taylor will not

320
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: rush for eighteen hundred yards. Okay, that's my bold prediction

321
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: that I mean, you follow me on that one. I'm

322
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: picking up your putting down. Yeah, I think it's a

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: positive thing. I like this, it's a positive thing for

324
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: the Colts. If Jonathan Taylor's if he's getting twenty five

325
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: carries a game one hundred and fifty yards in order

326
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: for the Colt Steven have a chance to win, I

327
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: think something has gone wrong. And I think everybody in

328
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: the front office would admit that the Colts need to

329
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: be more balanced than that what they were last year.

330
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: And I think with Matt Ryan in here, he's got

331
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: a bevy of playmakers. He's gonna spread the ball around

332
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends and play action get the ball out.

333
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are still going to be that

334
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: team that tries to establish the run. They want to

335
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: get Jonathan Taylor involved. But instead of seeing, you know,

336
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: a fifty four forty six pass run ratio with Taylor

337
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield the last couple of years, hopefully it's

338
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: something more like sixty forty. You got some chunk plays

339
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: yards after catch, and the passing game is sort of

340
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: keeping you on schedule a little bit better down in

341
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: distance wise than what the Colts sort of relied on

342
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: the running game to do just that last year. I mean, psychologically,

343
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: there's no better weapon to compat an opposing defense than

344
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: a running back like Jonathan Taylor who just punishes you

345
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: and he makes yards when there are no yards to

346
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: be made. I was I was watching a cut up

347
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: of all of his runs with at least six yards

348
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: after contact from last season, and like, I mean, like,

349
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: how do you stop this guy? He can If you

350
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: get your arms around him, he's gonna drive a show.

351
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: They're into you, keep his feet moving in pickup extra yards.

352
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: If you try to go at him at the ankles,

353
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna shove you into the turf, like you did

354
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: that Bill safety in the in Week eleven, Jordan Poyer,

355
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: where he just like, I mean, that's an all Pro

356
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: safety who just get into the turf. You're done. I

357
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: saw something the other day. It was a Pro Football

358
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Focus that said that Jonathan Taylor's yak his yards after

359
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: contact alone last season led the NFL, would have still

360
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: led all NFL rushers. It did, yeah, because his YAK

361
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: alone would have been enough to lead the league. In Russia,

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: because everybody knew he was getting the football and he

363
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: continued to just punish guys even though everybody in the

364
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: stadium knew. Sixty thousand people knew this guy's gonna touch

365
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: the football and he still ran for h But if

366
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm saying that yea, they needed to

367
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: be more balanced. They just couldn't find it. They had

368
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: a hard time throwing for over two hundred yards a game.

369
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: And when you have when you have that guy in

370
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor who can make an explosive run anytime he

371
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: touches the ball, then that really does wonders for your

372
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: play action game for Matt Ryan, where that then leads

373
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: to not easier plays to read out and go through

374
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 1: your progressions for, but you get a lot of your

375
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: chunk plays off of play action. So then that can

376
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: lead to more explosives in the passing game, which is

377
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: generally going to be more efficient than running the ball

378
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: no matter who you're running back is. So you're right, mate, Matetee.

379
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: That is it would be if Jonathan Taylor goes for

380
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen hundred yards, that's incredible. That's still a great season.

381
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: That's still gonna lead the NFL last year, right, And

382
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: the Colts would honestly prefer that because that means the

383
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: passing game and everybody think is providing more of their

384
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: end of the bargain. If you will, maybe it's becoming

385
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: more balanced. Maybe Tennessee. I think they want Derrick Henry

386
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: to rush for two thousand yards. I think that's kind

387
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,239
Speaker 1: of how they may, you know. I know last year

388
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: they were the first overall seed in the AFC and

389
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: he missed half of the even that that year where

390
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: they made the AFC Championship. Ryan Tannehill is one of

391
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the NFL because of what Derrick

392
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: Henry did. I mean, because you tried to stop Derrick Henry. Tannehoo.

393
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: He averaged nine point six yards per attempt that year.

394
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Led the NFL in twenty nineteen. Yeah, I mean his

395
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: quarterback rating or his passer rating led the NFL at

396
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen point five because of all the

397
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: play action stuff they could do because of Derek Hendran.

398
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: That's what the Colts hope. You know that. I think

399
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: if the Colts get something similar out of Matt Ryan,

400
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: where yeah, you might not need Jonathan Taylor to go

401
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: for eighteen hundred yards, but Matt Ryan can be incredibly

402
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: efficient and explosive. That's a really good thing. Yeah, you

403
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: want Jonathan Taylor to rush for thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred

404
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: yards and you want Matt Ryan to throw for forty

405
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: one hundred, right, yep, that's what that's that's a positive

406
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: thing for the Colts. Statistically speaking. If Jonathan Taylor is

407
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: not an MVP candidate and doesn't rush for eighteen hundred yards,

408
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: he's not flirting with two thousand. Statistically speaking. If he

409
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: has a worse year, that could be a better thing

410
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Last year, he had all of these

411
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: accomplishments and the Colts were nine and eight, right, and

412
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: they miss the playoffs. Yeah, you know, first rushing champ

413
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL to miss the postseason since Maurice Jones

414
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: drew in twenty eleven. Thing to look at still a

415
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: JT will be his yards per attempt. He had five

416
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: and a half yards per tempt last year there was

417
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the highest market and Colt's history. If he's still at

418
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: five and a half yards per attempt and gets fifteen

419
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards, then he's he's just as good, right, He's

420
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: getting just fewer opportunities because they don't need him to

421
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: get those. Take advantage of matchups on the outside, and

422
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: hopefully I mean the Raiders game just it just sticks

423
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: out of my brain. Everybody knew, the Raiders knew the

424
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: Colts were going to run the ball, and the Colts

425
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: had a hard time winning outside of the box. Yeah,

426
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, teams just hopefully shouldn't be able to do

427
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: that with Matt Ryan at quarterback this upcoming season. Real

428
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: quick to bring it back. My bold prediction for training camp,

429
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: the second year defensive lineman we're going to come away

430
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: most impressed with will be dio Odangbo. And that's no

431
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: disrespect to Quity Pay. I think is gonna have a

432
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: really good camp. He's in for a really good season.

433
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Remember when the Colts drafted Dioa Dangbo and Chris Ballard

434
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: said he had to be talked out of drafting him

435
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: in the first round. Yeah, that's how highly the Colts

436
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: think of this guy. Guys coming off a Keiley's like

437
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: what three months earlier? Yeah, right, And Ballard was pretty

438
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: sure that if he didn't take a Dangbo at fifty

439
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: four that there was going to be another team right

440
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: after him that was going to take him. So the

441
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Colts were not the only team in the NFL who

442
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: had a very high grade on Dioa Dangbo. But we

443
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: didn't really get to see him much. Last year he

444
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: played in ten games. He had that strip sack of

445
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence that sealed the Jaguars win at home. But

446
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, this dude had no training camp, no off season,

447
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: worked his way back, then gets thrown into the fire

448
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: for his NFL debut. He didn't really have a base

449
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: to go off of hearing from him during the off

450
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: season program and where he's at mentally and physically right now,

451
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: and with a full off season of training, of practices

452
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: of meetings, man, I think this dude is going to

453
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: have a really, really good season and a really good camp.

454
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: He's six foot what six six, got incredibly long arms,

455
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: It's really quick, He's he's strong. I can't wait to

456
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: see what he does in those one on one pass

457
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: rushing drills, whether he's going up against a tackle or

458
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: a guard based on Hey, we want you to work

459
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: on your interior pass rush or your your exterior pass rush.

460
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean his I just I want to throw him

461
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: in two and that players were not talking about enough.

462
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't think we're talking about Dio Dangbo enough. You know,

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that you listen to every

464
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: GM around and they always say the one thing, you

465
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: can't have too many of his pass rushers. So if

466
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: if Dio can show you that and you look at

467
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: that draft and go, you got two guys that you

468
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: know for the next handful of years can be around.

469
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: That looks really good. When you're looking at Chris Boller's

470
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: drafts and you throw in a guy like DeForrest Buckner

471
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: and Yanniken Goakway that weren't involved in that, and you

472
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: have four guys that you trust to get after the passer. Yeah,

473
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: ad is something that is really for offensive coordinators to

474
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: be a little worry about. When you look at every

475
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: down there's a couple of guys are gonna be in

476
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: the backfield. You like that a lot. I mean, and

477
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: you think about rotations too. You know, it's not like

478
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: you can have a defensive end play ninety percent of

479
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: the snaps, right, Yeah, he's got back up Quitty pick right.

480
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: It's it's much better to have that rotation going where

481
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: maybe Quitty's playing. I don't know, call it. This is

482
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: just a totally guest number, but it's sixty percent of

483
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: the snaps and then Dios at like fifty percent because

484
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: he can flip in for you know, in Gout or

485
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Quitty or for Grover or for Buck. I mean a

486
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: guy who could maybe flip in in any position on

487
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: that defensive line. And if he's productive, Gus Bradley and

488
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: ad Ala, you're going to find ways to get him

489
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: on the field. And that's gonna be really exciting to see.

490
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: It's such a good point you make too about dio

491
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 1: Dangbo this time last year, no training camp, no preseason games.

492
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he had no acclamation at all to the NFL,

493
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: and then what was it, Week ten? He came off

494
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: pup and then he's just thrust in there. It's like, oh,

495
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: by the way, go play and he had that great

496
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: strip sack on Trevor Lawrence. For him to have a

497
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: normal off season where he's healthy and he's getting time

498
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: on task, I use that word all the time because

499
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: or that phrase, because the Cults last year just didn't

500
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of it across the board in training camp. Obviously,

501
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: the off season workout program was condensed and compromised due

502
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: to COVID nineteen. Now that everything's back to normal for

503
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: the team and dioa Dangbo gets a normal off season,

504
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna take a huge jump just I

505
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: think bigger than the natural jump that a guy makes

506
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: between year one and year two regardless. And that's I

507
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: mean one of the things we've we've kind of mentioned

508
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: is we didn't know anything about him. You know, it's

509
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: one of those things. We didn't see him. I remember

510
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: we all watched him walk into the student You're like, wow,

511
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: this guy is massive, Like he has these broad shoulders

512
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: and you're just like wow, ready to see him get

513
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: out there. So this year it's really going to be

514
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to just watch because I'm sure

515
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: for him, he's just ready to play football again. You know,

516
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you rehab, your rehab, and then all of a sudden

517
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: you're back. It's like you never really had a chance

518
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: to kind of ease into it. This is his way

519
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: to kind of really eat. And when he was back

520
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: last year, I mean he's probably right right. Yeah, he

521
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: still was kind of toughing it out. Yeah, and he

522
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: had a niche role because of how his season began,

523
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, he's he's in store for a

524
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: monster season, just like I think Quitty pay Well come

525

Speaker 1: wish you could go back in time to change? Slash

532
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: make right? And why? O man? The game or the season? Casey,

533
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: you lived here, I've lived here forever. I was twenty

534
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: one years old, giant Colts fan. The season that still

535
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: sticks in your crawl, that you just still have a

536
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: hard time getting over is two thousand and five. Oh yeah,

537
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about fourteen in two. I think

538
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: it's maybe collection of talent and production, maybe the best

539
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: team in the history of the franchise. You got Manning,

540
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: you got James Rhodes, Wayne Harrison, Stokely, Clark Brackett, Mathis, Freeney, Cato, June,

541
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Bob Sanders, Jason, David Marlin, Jackson fourteen and two, number

542
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: two and scoring number three, in passing number two and

543
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: scoring defense. You win the division, You've got home field

544
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: advantage in the playoffs, the number one seed, the Chargers, Steelers, Steelers,

545
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, it was the Jerome Bettist fumble at

546
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: the goal line. Jason David Yeah. Ben Roethlisberg to oh

547
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: that was the worst or no, it was Nick Harper Harper,

548
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: Nick Harper, Harper, Yeah, Oh, Colts got down big. It

549
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: was twenty one to three in the third quarter. Colts,

550
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, they they come back, it's twenty one to eighteen.

551
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: They score, they go for two, they have a chance

552
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: to go down the field, tie the game. The Colts

553
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: go for it, like fourth and sixteen inside their twenty.

554
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: Manning gets sacks. It's like, oh, it's over. It's over.

555
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Then the Steelers are They're going in. It's a goal

556
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: line situation. A minute left. Bettest boom smacked by Gary Brackett.

557
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Ball pops out. The entire world is losing their mind.

558
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: And then when Nick Harper picks it up, he's compromised

559
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: with a leg problem. We don't need to go into that.

560
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: That's that's a whole other store. That's a whole other podcast.

561
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: He can't run at full speed, and here's this this

562
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: overweight rookie quarterback at up Miami just swipes him down.

563
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: He just you know, saves a touchdown. The Colts moved

564
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: down the field, they getting field goal range and then

565
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: boom the ball lands on Capitol Avenue. You're right, man,

566
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: that there's a hand which is sad. It's probably that

567
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: way for every NFL franchise, but there's a handful of

568
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: teams you look at and you're like, that team should

569
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: have done. That was a hard game to get over. Yeah,

570
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: because they were by far the best team in the

571
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: NFL that season and the Steelers went on to win

572
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, rookie quarterback there he had,

573
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: I mean, pretty impressive career he had. See, I went

574
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: another direction, so I didn't go I didn't go based

575
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: on a team or I went for a moment. And

576
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's recency biased. Zach Keefer just had

577
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: this thing come out, you know, the Luck podcast on

578
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: the Athletic But for me, it's it's the way that

579
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Hall unfolded. We all have our own you know, we

580
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: were here, we had that is though. I think the

581
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: one thing that you know, just in the last decade,

582
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: you look at and you wish a it wouldn't have

583
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: happened in the middle of a preseason game. You wish

584
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: you would have had your own press conference, your own

585
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: way to announce things, and I think it would have

586
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: left I mean, I think there's still always going to

587
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: be a bit of a sour taste in Colts fans,

588
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, minds, because you know, this is the face

589
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: of the franchise retiring at a young age. But I

590
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: think it would have been a little less of a

591
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: blow had it been done a little bit more, you know,

592
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: the way that typically happens yea formally is a way.

593
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: So that that's kind of where I went on this

594
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: as far as historical moments. But you're right, I mean

595
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: some of those some of those teams the Colts had

596
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: with the Manning era, there's a lot of when we

597
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: look at and man, they should have had more than

598
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: just one. But you know, that's part of it. So

599
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: I was trying to find something that wasn't as obvious.

600
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: I have not lived in Indianapolis my whole life. I've

601
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: lived here for about a year, um, but something that's

602
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: always fascinated me, and even listening to the Luck podcast,

603
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: was that what Keefer did a great job on that. Yeah, um,

604
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: you know it kind of set the Colts up as

605
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: like this joke of a franchise until Peyton Manning arrived

606
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: two years before Peyton Manning arrived. The Colts made the

607
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: AFC champions Team Man and cap'n come back. Jim Harbaugh

608
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: is down at the Steelers twenty nine yard line with

609
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: a chance to go to the Super Bowl. There's another

610
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: Steeler's moment, right, what if? What if Jim Harbaugh? What

611
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: if Jim Harbaugh completes a pass into the end zone

612
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: of the Colts go to the Super Bowl that year?

613
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: What if Cordell Stewart doesn't run out of bound exactly

614
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass exactly? Huh? You kidding me? Where the

615
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: hell inst didn't replay in? My big thing is where

616
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: are the replay cameras? Then? Because you beat the Chargers

617
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: on trust me, this is the ten year old version

618
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: of Matt Taylor, the height of my you know, kid fandom.

619
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: So the Chargers go to the Super Bowl the year before.

620
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: They get blasted by the forty nine Ers, but they're

621
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: the best team in the AFC, or one of them,

622
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: and the Colts go out there on New Year's Eve

623
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: and come back the next week beat the Chiefs on

624
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: a frozen tundra. They outlast him with a couple of

625
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: field goals and then Cordell Stewart runs out of bounds

626
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: back of the end zone, catches a touchdown pass, and

627
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: then Aaron Bailey still caught that. He caught that. I

628
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: know he didn't, but the ten year old version of

629
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: me still is convinced that he did. My eyes he

630
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: caught it as well. So I grew up with a

631
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: Steelers fan. My dad's a Steelers fan. So that was

632
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: watching that game. There was a lot of up and

633
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: down moments. You had cheering and then you know that

634
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: the negative side, and that was a very tough game

635
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: to watch in the value household. No, you're exactly right, JJ,

636
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: because that team that season, that helped turn the city

637
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: of Indianapolis into a coltstown. And I know it didn't

638
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: fully take effect until Peyton Manning arrived, you know, in

639
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight. But before that, Indianapolis was all Pacers.

640
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: It was all Indie five hundred was all racing, it

641
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: was all you basketball. The Colts were you know, third

642
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: or fourth fiddle until that run helped sort of, you know,

643
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: provide a catalyst. So after that, I had a Jim

644
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: Harball poster in my room. I had a Marshall Falk

645
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: poster him or I was. I mean it was I

646
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: was all in at that and I was let's see

647
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: what year was at ninety five, Okay, so I was

648
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: five years old. I was all in. I mean, I'm

649
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to say that at five, but

650
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: I was. I've always been a huge sports fan, So

651
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean those are I mean, I vividly remember all

652
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: of that and I was five. So definitely my Colts.

653
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: My Colts fandom really started at a young age, and

654
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: it was you know, in large part, you know, Jim Harball.

655
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad we had that discussion. I'm glad I brought

656
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: up something that Stewart right now. Yeah, hey, I saw

657
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: and they got they got trounced by the Cowboys in

658
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Well, I mean, like everyone was gonna

659
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: get trounced by the Cowboys probably so, but I mean

660
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: it would have been it would have been a really

661
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: cool thing for the Colts to get a Super Bowl

662
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: before Peyton. Yeah, and then obviously go to a couple more.

663
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, you could probably pull a couple of moments

664
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: out of the Super Bowl. It's lost to the Saints. Yeah,

665
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: like the onside Kik basket, Hank basket, basket um, there's

666
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: probably some moments you could pull out there. All right, Well,

667
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: let's move on here to the conversation. Gang, It's okay,

668
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. Let's take a little break from

669
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: mate to calm down with the interview, Lara did I'm

670
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: good with Zia Franklin regarding a business academy he put

671
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: together in Philadelphia this summer in connection with his foundations,

672
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Chalice's Angels, which is named after his mother. The interview

673
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: again is done by Lara and Matt Taylor Enjoy, joined

674
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: now by Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin, who has had a

675
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: busy off season, not just in terms of training and

676
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: preparation for the upcoming regular season and of course for

677
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: training camp which begins here very soon at Grand Park,

678
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: but he has spent a lot of time giving back

679
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: to his community in his hometown of Philadelphia, recently hosting

680
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: a two day business program that offers Philadelphia area students

681
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills through a foundation called

682
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: Chalis's Angels. Zaire, thanks so much for taking the time

683
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: to talk to us about what is such an impactful program.

684
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: How did you first get involved? How did you have

685
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: the idea to do this. Well, yeah, first all, thank

686
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: you guys for having me. Yeah, I got the idea.

687
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: You know, back after my rookie year. Um, I always

688
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: was big in a community, even back in Syracuse. Always

689
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: was very interested in helping our kids. And Syracuse were

690
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: used to get school supplies and book bags and welcome

691
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: kids and for the first day of school. We used

692
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: to do that every year. I'm in Syracuse. So when

693
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I first got to the league, I was really thinking

694
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: about ways to give back and you know what I

695
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: really wanted to focus on. And I came up with

696
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: the idea of chalisas Angels, mainly as a nod to

697
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: my late mother, shoul We passed when I was sixteen,

698
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: And the primary goal at first was really just to

699
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: give under serve communities, you know, minority young women and

700
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: underserved communities, you know, opportunities and different experiences that you

701
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: know they may not have, you know, other chances to

702
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: get to do. You know, we that first year, we

703
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: took a group of ten girls to Google headquarters in

704
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: New York City and had a great time. They had

705
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: a chance to see that it took them to meet

706
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: the CEO of the Sixers and much stuff, and um,

707
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: they did different things, but over the years the program

708
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: is actually kind of shifted more towards a financial literacy

709
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: type of sector, just based off my background with my

710
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: degree in finance and just different things I've been interested in.

711
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: So um, you know, just for us as just teaching

712
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: young kids, you know, seventh and eighth graders and giving

713
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: them exposed My biggest thing is just exposing them to

714
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: things that you know, I wish I always was capable

715
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: of being exposed to, showing them that, you know, there's

716
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to be successful. There's a lot

717
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: of different things that you know, they're capable of doing.

718
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the biggest thing for you know,

719
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: people from you know community that I'm from, it's just visualization,

720
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: Like if you could see something, if you could touch it,

721
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: you can meet somebody that's doing something and understand kind

722
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: of how they got there and where they're from. Them

723
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: being from the same place that you from, Um, I

724
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: think it just makes accomplishing those things much easier. So um,

725
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing was just really just how can we

726
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: get those kids, you know, type of tools or anything

727
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: that just kind of helped them along the way and

728
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: we you know, we came up with the Business Academy.

729
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: It was our second year doing it. UM. This year

730
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: we got three different schools from the Philadelphia area. UM,

731
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: we got three different speakers from all different walks of life.

732
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: We got a guy who had a real estate empire.

733
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: Talk to him really ship he say he was trying

734
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: to get an additional one hundred units. This year. We

735
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: got another guy who sells a sea moss which is

736
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: like a natural herd that a couple of guys on

737
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: our team actually take, believe it or not. And then

738
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: we also had a young kid who started his own

739
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: sneaker company and doing customer sneakers and customer apparel and

740
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that too. So it was just a great

741
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: two day program. The kids, you know, got a lot

742
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: out of it, and I got a lot out of it.

743
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Guy tens to play football, I'm at basketball and show

744
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: them a bunch of stuff and messing around with the kids.

745
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: So it was a great time. Such an incredible program

746
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: that you have, and with so much of this being

747
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: founded in you mentioned financial literacy and entrepreneurship, it's so

748
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: important to encourage young people who might have these big

749
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: visions but not necessarily know how to implement it. And yeah,

750
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: of course a lot a lot of football clinics in

751
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: a lot of ways you can do that. But so

752
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: important to be able to inspire kids in a lot

753
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: of different ways because there's the fact of there are

754
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: going to be many more opportunities for you in business.

755
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 1: There's only be a small percentage that succeed athletically. When

756
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: you have a program with those business foundations, what are

757
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: those lessons that you're trying to instill in those people,

758
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: and it's instill in those young people when they are

759
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: at such a formative point in their lives. With this

760
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 1: two day program, what I would just think the first

761
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: thing that I really wanted to really talk to him

762
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: about was just learning never really ends, you know, I

763
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: talked to whenever I talked to kids, I always try

764
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: to explain to them, you know, like maybe I was

765
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a nerd. You know, I always

766
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: love I love going to school. I can't, I can't lie.

767
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: I enjoyed being in school. It was always something that

768
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: I enjoyed to do. But um, I always try to

769
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: explain to them that, you know, learning doesn't end just

770
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: because you leave school. You know, you constantly have to

771
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: grow and you know, and expand your nows of different things.

772
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: And I tell them that's that just you know that

773
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: those type of things, um like it's just another ending process.

774
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: Those type of things is something that's like a trade

775
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: that you could gain that will help you off over

776
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: in your life. I also talk to them about you know,

777
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: just taking chances. You know, I just felt like, you know,

778
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: over my life, especially when I was their age. You know,

779
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: it was I was it was easy, easy to be

780
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: comfortable and do you know what everybody else is doing.

781
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: But you know, just join that club, you know, go

782
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: out for that team that you want to try out,

783
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: even if you think you might get cut, Just go

784
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: out and have fun, go take this you know class,

785
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: or like just do whatever you can, you know, I

786
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: told him, you know, one of the biggest steps that

787
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: I took was, you know, I transfer schools and I

788
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: went to an all boys school. I mean, as a

789
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: young fourteen year old, I mean, you kind of like,

790
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not going to my boys school, but

791
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: end up being probably the most pivotal decision I made

792
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: in my life. You know, going to my high school

793
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: and Southcus High School in Philadelphia completely changed my life.

794
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: It completely exposed me to you know, just a whole

795
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: other world right outside of me, just fifteen minutes from

796
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: my house, and just gave me, you know, just a

797
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: variety of friends and just experiending my thing. And last

798
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: I really just talk to them about believing in themselves.

799
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: You know. I feel like a lot of times, you know,

800
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: just being from where it we're from, you know, it's

801
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: very easy to kind of type cast yourself, put yourself

802
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: in the boxes based off on which you're used to seeing,

803
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: you know. So I think just the biggest thing for

804
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: them is just believing yourself. Believe that you can achieve everything.

805
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: When people say, oh you could be the president, you

806
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: could do whatever you want, like, truly believe that and

807
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: go for set goals for yourself and shoot for it.

808
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: And you know, I think I was just there and

809
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: just always trying to let them know that, you know,

810
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: whatever I can do to support them, to help them

811
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: accomplish any goal that they have, whether that's on the field,

812
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: off the field, in the classroom, any any setting that

813
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: it is, um that I'll always be there for when

814
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: always trying to help them. So um, I think you know,

815
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: it was like I said, it was a great I

816
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: thought sometimes I get it more out of the program.

817
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: That's your passion and that means, you know, it's it's

818
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: very important to you. And you talk about being raised

819
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: by your grandmother and your mother before she passed away,

820
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: and Lesa's Angels obviously comes from the namesake of your mother. Um,

821
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: being involved as as much as you are in this

822
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: project the way it's it's so important to how much

823
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: of that stems from being raised from from two very

824
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: passionate and very loving female role models that you had

825
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: growing up in both your mother and your grandmother. Oh,

826
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I feel like, you know, it has

827
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: everything to do with it. You know, those two women, Um,

828
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: are you know why I am here today? And you know,

829
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: losing them at a young age. You know, even though

830
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: it was tough, I think it helps shape me into

831
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: the man that I am today. I'm just going through

832
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: those type of tough experiences. UM. And you know, I

833
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: think everything that I do, I always, you know, do

834
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: to just try to bring honor and and and love

835
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: to not only to their namesake with my mom name

836
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: and my program after her, but you know, just honor

837
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: to the memory. And you know, everything I do I

838
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: always just want to make sure that I'm making them

839
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: proud and representing them the way you know they want to.

840
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: It's funny that I was actually just telling my fiance

841
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: the other day. Sometimes when I'm doing stuff, it's like

842
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: I still hear my mom yelling at me, Like in

843
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: the back of my head. It's like when I'm doing

844
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: something my hair zaire used two hands, put your phone down,

845
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: Like little little stuff like that is this. It's always

846
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: funny um that I so I still miss them to

847
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: this day, but you know, just doing the best thing

848
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: that I can to keep their name going and bring

849
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 1: on into the name. You do such a fantastic job

850
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: of representing your family, representing this organization, representing your hometown

851
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: and syricus. And it's so important to for young people

852
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: to have those experiences of having those role models who

853
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: they can look up to and people who are showing them,

854
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: you know, the success that they can replicate, and being

855
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: able to carve out your own path and your own

856
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: journey and take those risks like you mentioned, And when

857
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: you say you get as much out of it, you think,

858
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: as they did, what is the most benefit that you

859
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: get or what really stands out when you are able

860
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: to have these opportunities over the summer and you know,

861
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: spend a couple of days here and there with these

862
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: various programs and a lot of different groups of kids

863
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: that you have. When you mentioned you're going to the sixers,

864
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: are doing this this two day business academy, Well, first off,

865
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. They keep me, they keep me hit.

866
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: You know, I go and talk to my mind music.

867
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: Y'all listen, what does that mean? Yeah, that's that's the

868
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: first thing. That first thing. I gotta know, I gotta know,

869
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: I gotta know what's going on. What's the next social media?

870
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: They telling me that there's another social media at the TikTok.

871
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm like what, I'm like, you know, So that's first off,

872
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: they're giving me the information that I need to get

873
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: um and then honestly, just talking to them, it's just

874
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: so inspiring, you know. It's just like I told them,

875
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: I was like, when I'm hanging out with them, you know,

876
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: it's funny. We had kids from three different schools. They

877
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: had never met each other. Even some of the kids

878
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: that were in school together weren't, you know, weren't really

879
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: that familiar with each other. But by the end of

880
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: the second day, you know, everybody's best friends, everybody's hanging out,

881
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: and sometimes it feels like I'm just back in eighth

882
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: grade again, you know. And I think just being with

883
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: them sometimes I tell them, I feel like when I'm

884
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: talking to them, sometimes I really feel like I'm talking

885
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: to my younger self, you know, and because I just

886
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: see myself and you know, and all of them and

887
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: just you know, being from the same similar environments and

888
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: just know, you know what they're going through and having

889
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: an idea of the things that they're going to face

890
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: this day, continue to grow. So um, I would really

891
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: just say it's really just inspiration, you know. I think

892
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: those are the type of people that you know, you

893
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: do it for. You do it to the to the

894
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: for the generation behind you. You know, you want to

895
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: lift as you climb, as you you continue to grow

896
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: in your life, and so anytime I could just give

897
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: back and just let them know that, you know, your

898
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: goals are accomplished and you are capable. You're capable of

899
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff. And you know, when I was

900
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: growing up, I used to always wonder. I used to

901
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: sit around wonder, like, where do the eagles like be

902
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: at like I don't like it, Like where where is

903
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: the Eagle? What do they do? Like? I never they

904
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: were basically a myth to something that you just see

905
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: on TV. So whenever I go home, it's like, no, look,

906
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm an NFL player and I'm right here and I'm

00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: touching you, and I'm I'm shaking your hand, I'm hanging

908
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: out with you, I'm joking with you. We're playing basketball.

909
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: If you want to play football, I'm gonna kill you.

910
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dominate you. Personal. I gotta let you know

911
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,600

00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: say the biggest thing I get from is really just inspiration. No,

916
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: those kids, they just motivate and inspire me so much.

917
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: It is so impressive all that you have done already.

918
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: But I know that you have such great aspirations. What's

919
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe the next element that you see of incorporating. I

920
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: know you have a big picture plan for Chlisa's Angels

921
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: and what you want to do. Maybe what's that next

922
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: thing that you aspired to incorporating into all of this

923
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: wonderful work you guys have already done, and this accomplishment

924
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: established in a short period of time. Well, it's great

925
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: as said that, UM, it's uh, you kind of mentioned

926
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: it a little earlier. UM. I always just felt like

927
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: my grandmother, as you says, tell me, you know, leave

928
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: a place better than when you where you found. Um.

929
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: And you know, I've always tried to affect the communities

930
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: that I was a part of, Syracuse, Philadelphia. UM. And

931
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, even though in my five years, you know,

932
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how many community mondays I've missed.

933
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, I've been in most of them. But I

934
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: really feel like, um, it's my time to really put

935
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: my focus on Indianapus and doing the best that I

936
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: can to really affect that community, because I mean, this

937
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: is this is home, this is where you know, I'm

938
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna be raising my family, this is where you know

939
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: will be you know, for the next three years. Um.

940
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: And I think it's just for me. It's just doing

941
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: my best to really trying to help impact the Indianapus

942
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: community and health the kids in the Indianapolis community the

943
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: best way I know how. So really most of my

944
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: focus is trying to transfer there. I actually UM earning

945
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: in the works of trying to do a business academy

946
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: UM in Indianapolis right before the season starts, UM, so

947
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: hopefully we could get that done before the season going UM,

948
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: and you know, just all other different efforts we can do.

949
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: But I really just say, I think the next step

950
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: for me is just really just UM focusing on Indianapolis

951
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: and then those communities and the kids in that community

952
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: and really just being that, you know, inspiration for those kids,

953
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: because you know, we're here all the time, and I

954
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: know what it feels like to you know, have you know,

955
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: athletes who you know play in your city and you

956
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: kind of be like, man like, you see them do

957
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: great things and give back and back man Like, I

958
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: wish he would do that at my school. But I wish,

959
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, he would pull up to my school and hangout.

960
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: So now I gotta I gotta pull up and show

961
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: out in Indianapolis because I feel like that's just I

962
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: think that's just what I feel like I'm being called

963
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: to do. And that just further illustrates why you were

964
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: selected as a captain, why you were regard as such

965
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: a strong leader within this organization, and you mentioned your family.

966
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: You welcomed your son Cairo back in February, correct, Yes,

967
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: I did. What has this time been like because it's

968
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: although I know you've been training, of course, and putting

969
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot of time in of course with your your

970
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: foundation as well, and you had many caving no teas

971
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: and all that, but you've really had such a significant

972
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: period of time home with your newborn. How fun has

973
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: that been for for you and your your young family

974
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: growing into this new role as a father. Oh man,

975
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's life changing, you know, it's so funny.

976
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: Uh Uh. I was so when before the baby came.

977
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 1: I used to sit in the media room with Matt

978
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Contie and Christian and Hayden because they have, you know,

979
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: a young one, so just talk to them about you know,

980
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: kids and stuff like that. And obviously talking to you know,

981
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: my teammates Darius, you know, Xavier, all those guys and

982
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: you know the forest and I went out once Kiro

00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: came out, told him. I was like, you couldn't oversell

984
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: it if you wanted to, you know what I mean,

985
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: The true story. Yeah, it's one of those things that,

986
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: like everybody tells you, it's like I remember talk. I

987
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: used to talk to Rigo and Luke every every Saturday

988
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: because Rigo had his daughter um during the season. I

989
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: used to end the season, I was like, Rigo, I'm

990
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: more on that, Rigo, give me, give me, give me

991
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: the game, Like what what's what's what I'm walking into

992
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: and Rico just like, man, You're gonna love it. And

993
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean they never lied. I mean it's like your

994
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: hearts outside of your body. So, uh, it's a wonderful experience.

995
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, looking forward to just you know,

996
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: watching them grow and just being there for him, you know,

997
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: every way possible. Hey, Zaire, last one for me, and

998
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: we we've gotten to know you a little bit over

999
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: the last four years. You know, just you never cease

1000
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: to to impress and uh, you know, you're just a

1001
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: very very humble guy, but a very impressive guy, and

1002
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: as Lara said, a very very good leader. And you've

1003
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: got to just a great head on your shoulders. But

1004
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: you you talked about going to a great school at Syracuse.

1005
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: You graduated with a financial degree. You're putting that to

1006
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: work even though you're a professional football player. But I

1007
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: just want to know, hypothetically, if you weren't playing for

1008
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: the Colts. If you weren't in the NFL, what do

1009
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: you think you'd be doing with that finance degree, you know,

1010
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: outside of being a professional athlete. It's funny that you said,

1011
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: I was actually just talking to somebody about this yesterday. Um,

1012
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: I was writing, like my sophomore year. I feel like,

1013
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. For most guys, I don't know how

1014
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: their whole college career go. But for me, it was

1015
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: like a certain point where you're like, all right, do

1016
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: I do? I started trying to look for a job.

1017
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: Where am I going to go to? You know, so

1018
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean probably you know, originally when I was in Syracuse,

1019
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: I was a major and finance and marketing, And I

1020
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: ended up having to drop my marketing major because I

1021
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: needed to leave to train for the draft. But I

1022
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: probably would have been somewhere in New York or you know,

1023
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, and one of those one of these banks

1024
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, trying to you know,

1025
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: figure that stuff out, still trying to get back to me,

1026
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: but probably always dealing with the money. You know, I'm

1027
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm a numbers guy day. But hopefully you know, with

1028
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: this experience and stuff like that, I always always talk

1029
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: to actually talk to Chris about this too, Violarum. You know,

1030
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: maybe I could just take combine the numbers and the

1031
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: football experience with it. Maybe a front off position when

1032
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm done or something, right, But we'll see. How can

1033
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: you be my financial advisor? I mean, I think you

1034
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: can handle that. I don't know if you want to

1035
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: Like me, I'm a hard sell. So I'm gonna have

1036
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: you on the tight room. I don't know if that's

1037
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: what you want. I just want you to be aggressive

1038
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: in the market, make me make me some do all right?

1039
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: All right, So if you're the finance guy, you're the

1040
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: financial mind behind it. But being that the academy is

1041
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: founded in entrepreneur entrepreneurship, who is a teammate if he

1042

00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 1: would be like, I'll go in with you. I'll handle

1044
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: the finance. You've got the idea, you've got a concept

1045

00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: but you're also so kind and community centric. When you

1066
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: think about looking at the work that Darius has been

1067
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: doing this summer back in Lakeview, Kenny always has his

1068
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: camps that he does down there. Invald Austa so really

1069
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: grateful for you guys, not only all of the hard

1070
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: work that you invest into this organization, into this franchise.

1071
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: It's an honor to get to work alongside you guys.

1072
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: But also just so and all so impressed and admire

1073
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,479
Speaker 1: so much what you guys pour yourselves into doing off

1074
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: the field as well. Really appreciate the times. I can't

1075
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: wait to see you back here when we get training

1076
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: camp rolling very soon. Can't wait to be back. Appreciate

1077
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: you guys have me. Always give me the the opportunities, still

1078
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: speak on the things I got going on. Can't can't

1079
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: wait to get back and get this thing rolling this year.

1080
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: All right, good stuff right there from Zaire Franklin. Let's

1081
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: go to the mail bag. Here's the mail It never

1082
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: fills and makes me want to wag my tail, plan

1083
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: it come. I like this question because it kind of

1084
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: sums up the last two podcasts we've had and the

1085
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: things we've talked about in that on position battles. So

1086
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: Cody Felder at CP Felder fifty five on Twitter asks

1087
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: which position battle interests you the most? So to refresh,

1088
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: we talked about sick on the last two podcasts. That

1089
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: would be safety, third quarterback in D line rotation, left tackle,

1090
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: third running back, and wide receiver on offense. Now, there's

1091
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: one other position battle that we haven't talked about here.

1092
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: I think I know what it is. Would you like

1093
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: to take it? Is it special teams? It's on special teams? Yeah, kicker,

1094
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: it is kicker. Yeah, And I'll go that route just

1095
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: for the for the sake of argument, because we haven't

1096
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: talked about it. But you know, Rodrigo Blanketship is used

1097
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: to this. You know, he's he's had to beat out

1098
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: Chase McLoughlin his rookie year. Last year he outlasted Eddie Pinero,

1099
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: and both kickers had fantastic summers and training camps. I

1100
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: think we would all agree that when Rodrigo spoke in

1101
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: the offseason workout program to the media, he had a

1102
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit of a chip on

1103
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Yeah, yeah, you know, so he had a

1104
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: little bit of an edge, which I don't think there's

1105
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: anything wrong with that. But you know, how we have

1106
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: come to know Rodrigo the first couple of years. You know,

1107
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: he's normally sort of bubbly, outgoing, and not that he wasn't.

1108
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: He just had a little bit more of a you know,

1109
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: buyer in his eyes, which is great because you know,

1110
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: last year Week five suffers the hip and then doesn't

1111
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: get his spot back. You know, Michael Badgeley was kicking

1112
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: solidly and so the Colts stuck with him, and maybe

1113
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: that does provide a little bit of a chip on

1114
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: Rodrigo's shoulders, you know, going into this season. So he's

1115
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: trying to prove I think he takes umbradge with the

1116
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: fact that people think that he can't be consistent over fifty.

1117
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: I think hopefully he'll prove some people wrong as far

1118
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: as that goes in training camp having consistency over the

1119
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: range of forty five fifty. He did that consistent in college.

1120
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: So I think he's trying to prove himself once again

1121
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: from distance in the NFL, competing with a guy like

1122
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: Jake Verity, who has not the experience in the NFL,

1123
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: but just a lot of rawness. He's got a big leg.

1124
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: Spent last year with the Baltimore Ravens, which is kind

1125
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: of approving ground right for kickers. Right, We've talked about that.

1126
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a competition to what degree,

1127
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, But until they make that call at

1128
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: the end of training camp, there's gonna be two guys

1129
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: vying for that spot on special teams. Well, I think

1130
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that competition you always want,

1131
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: and I think definitely that kicker spot, it's definitely important.

1132
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that if you would talk to you know,

1133
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: staff in front office, I would say that hot Rod

1134
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: has the you know, he's got the leg up if

1135
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: you will. I think they kind of want him to

1136
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: win that spot, but I think we have seen the

1137
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: best of him when he is in a competition. So

1138
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: I think that's part of this too, is to say, hey,

1139
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: you know, we understand what happened last year Badgeley. I mean,

1140
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: we can all agree that there was a reason they

1141
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 1: didn't bring hot Rod back because Badger was kicking so

1142
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: well there was no reason to kind of mess with that.

1143
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: So I think it is kind of a hey, let's see,

1144
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: you know, let's see if you still have what we

1145
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: think you have, because we still want you to be

1146
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: the guy. We just want to make sure. Here's the

1147
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: thing is, there are very few kickers in the NFL

1148
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: who are not going to have someone pushing that right

1149
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: training camp, you got, you know, top of your your position,

1150
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: like the Justin Tuckers of the world. They're going to

1151
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: have a guy like Jake Verity come in as a

1152
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: rookie as a camp leg. But Justin Tucker's not losing

1153
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: his job in training camp. But the vast majority of

1154
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: kickers in the NFL are going to have some competition, absolutely,

1155
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: and it makes I mean last year, Rodrigo Blanketship didn't

1156
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: miss a kicker at all in the preseason, and Eddie Panio,

1157
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think missed a kick at all.

1158
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: Nobody missed it. But that's great. That's what you want,

1159
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: exactly want that, and I you know that's again, it's

1160
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: why you bring in a guy like Jake Verity to

1161
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: push Rodrigo, thinking, hey, Rodrigo, you can, you should go

1162
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: out and win this. But you're not just going to

1163
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: be handed the job another position. I'm just I'm excited

1164
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: now that Casey talked about Bernard Ryman, I'm excited for

1165
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: that left tackle competition because you you framed it really

1166
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: well that like Matt Pryor's the guy who's going to

1167
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: get the first crack at it. But Matt Pryor only

1168
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: is one start at left tackle in his career. He's

1169
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: a good player, he's a solid player. We haven't seen

1170
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: it on a day to day basis. We haven't seen

1171
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman on a day to day basis, so there

1172
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 1: is a pretty significant opening there. And left tackle is

1173
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: one of those positions too, where like you know, I

1174
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,959
Speaker 1: could say third cornerback, where you're kind of charting like, okay,

1175
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: who's making the plays making the play? But I'm not.

1176
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm not Ron Milas. I'm not watching the tape of

1177
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: what Isaiah Rodgers is doing on a play where the

1178
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: ball goes to the other side of the field. Like

1179
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: that stuff matters. But to my from my viewing standpoint,

1180
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: I don't know what what's going on over there. I'm

1181
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: not that that's not my job. I'm not that smart

1182
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: like Ron Milas. Um, you know, wide receiver. You can

1183
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: see guys making plays, but again that's kind of the

1184
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: same thing, like what are you doing when the ball

1185
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: isn't coming to you? Left tackle is one of those

1186
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: positions where you can zero win on it for a

1187
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 1: whole practice and watch Prior and Ryman and the other

1188
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: guys and be like, all right, I think I think

1189
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: I sort of know what's going on a little bit

1190
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: more than at the other positions, just based on like

1191
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: did you block the guy or not? That's that's the key,

1192
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm looking for. And i mean, like

1193
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: you said, I'm sure there's a lot more that goes

1194
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: into it than what I'm looking at it for, but

1195
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: that I'm just really intrigued because it's just that unknown,

1196
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: because i mean, you might have a diamond in the

1197
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 1: rough and Matt pryor it may be that left tackle

1198
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: is this guy's spot. We're going to see something we

1199
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: didn't know. But then also you don't know what you

1200
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: have in Bernard Ryman just because there's just not much

1201
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: tape there because he's only played I think it's one

1202
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: full season at left tackle during his time at Central

1203
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: Michigan because he had a little bit issues with the

1204
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, the COVID that kind of shut down a

1205
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: lot of things, and then as you mentioned, he started

1206
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: it tight in, so there's just not much experience there.

1207
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: But you've got the intangibles, the size, all of that stuff.

1208
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: You just can't teach that he has. So it's gonna

1209
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: be just I'm just fascinated to see where we are

1210
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: come like the middle of August, and we've seen a

1211
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: handful of practices of these guys to see where that

1212
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: competition looks, because we may know two weeks in that Okay,

1213
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be this guy. But this is a hypothetical question.

1214
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking out loud. I don't know the answer

1215
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: to this, But how much of a factor in terms

1216
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: of who wins that battle? How much of it is

1217
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: going to boil down to who's better in the running game?

1218
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: Because I think philosophically, the ball is going to be

1219
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: out with Matt Ryan, and so it's not going to

1220
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: be I'm not saying that the left tackles, you know,

1221
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: job to protect is not going to be important. Don't

1222
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: get me wrong, It's not what I'm saying. But I

1223
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: think the ball is gonna be out. It's gonna be

1224
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: like Philip Rivers in twenty twenty. So who's better in

1225
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: the running game from that left tackle position? And how

1226
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: much does that way? I get it Matt Ryan. Matt

1227
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: Ryan's offensive line the last couple of years has been

1228
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: pretty shaky. Um, I thought you were going to say

1229
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: something else me too. You can sub in some words,

1230
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: there are some letters I think the Colts owe it

1231
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan to have and I'm not it's all

1232
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: it's all sliding scale here, right, Like, but I think

1233
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: they owe to Matt Ryan to have a left tackle

1234
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: who can block somebody. M But I mean, let's say

1235
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: they're both roughly. If they're roughly even in terms of

1236
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: pass blocking, then yeah, run blocking is going to be

1237
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: where that goes. Right. But if if we're talking, like

1238
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: let's say, just for hypothetic sake, Bernard Rieman is like

1239
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: three levels higher than Matt Pryor as a pass blocker,

1240
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: but Matt Pryor is two levels higher as a run blocker,

1241
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: I think he might still go to Ryman just because again, you're,

1242
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, you're trying to emphasize the

1243
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: past a little bit more. And if you're doing that,

1244
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean also, by the way, you got Quittin Nelson

1245
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: next to the guy. Yeah, so that can probably help

1246
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. Nelson and Jonathan Taylor's pretty good at

1247
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: making his own good space. He got probably the best

1248
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: run just the best guard in the NFL playing next

1249
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: to whoever this is going to be, So that might

1250
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: help a little bit too. I just was thrown it

1251
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: out there for hypothetical sake. I agree with you, but

1252
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: I do think that it's fascinating either way. Because you

1253
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: have a guy that has no experience in the NFL

1254
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: versus a guy that relatively has no experience playing left tackle.

1255
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: How much can a quarterback like Matt Ryan help either

1256
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: guy who ends up being the starter? Right? Yeah, that's

1257
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: that's a really good point. I would agree with you.

1258
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really know whether or not you're

1259
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: going to weigh it, whether it be run or pass,

1260
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: But I think I'm convinced that come two to two

1261
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: and a half weeks into camp, we're gonna have a

1262
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 1: clear cut that's going to be the guy. That's what

1263
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: I think. I like it. Mattey, Yes, sir, you're random

1264
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Thought of the Week, Jingle Mayte random thought oh the Week?

1265
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: And w why is the carpet all went? Todd? I

1266
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: don't know, Marco. You guys going out of town? Do

1267
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: if it's cold there? If these vans getting cast? My

1268
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: shot shot off? This one's days this week? Guys, I

1269
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: want to know, is there a song or a band

1270
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: or an artist a singer that you are embarrassed to

1271
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: admit that you like driving down the road? Casey valiates

1272
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: just you here we go? Well, seeing as you went

1273
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: to that kid's concert. Oh well, oh yeah, that's true. Wife,

1274
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: your kids, they're not in the car with you, but

1275
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: you're You've got the windows down, you're blaring. So I

1276
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna get ripped, especially by Matt Taylor from

1277
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: this one point. Yeah, you know, he's mister music. This one,

1278
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even shy away from whether it's

1279
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: my wife or kids in the car. So two thousand

1280
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: and one, ish, I want to say, this song came

1281
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: out and I don't know what it was about the song.

1282
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: It hooked me and I I've been hooked on her

1283
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: for a long time. Avril Levine's Skater Boy came out.

1284
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Here we go, I I do the last would come

1285
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: all right, So it's it's there, it is there, it

1286
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: is boom. I'm glad you guys laughed, Thank you. Yeah.

1287
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: So this is how bad it's gotten. This. It's to

1288
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: the point where if Avril Levine comes on the radio,

1289
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: my wife will look at me and go, oh, here's

1290
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: your here's your girl. I mean, we've got songs saved

1291
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: on our serious that will come on and my kids

1292
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: will just they love it. They think it's the funniest thing.

1293
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: But like I don't know what it is this song,

1294
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: It just it did it for me. And then like

1295
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: like as like a little older, I started to lose

1296
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of respect, Like I'm not not to

1297
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: bash Nickelback, but I'm not a huge Nickelback fan. Well,

1298
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: she married Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. So

1299
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: I was like, OK, come on, Avril, like, let me

1300
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: let me come to me. I'll I did you a

1301
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: little bit. I didn't think we could get worse, but

1302
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: we just did. But then did you see any wedding photos?

1303
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: Did you? Well, they've been divorced. Food. But then but

1304
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: then I saw her in concert like four or five

1305
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: years ago, and she was not good. I don't know

1306
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: if it was the sound. So were you like a

1307
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Blink one two guy? You like? You know? I did?

1308
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I did like some blink Remember Lit? Lit? I do

1309
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Nah Lit. There's a I got a little love hate

1310
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: relationship with with Lit that we'll talk about later on.

1311
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: That's a different podcast there. But I mean, for me,

1312
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: the Avril Levine thing, I have no idea why, but

1313
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: it's it's still there. I mean, if skater Boy comes on,

1314
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to blare it up in the car

1315
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: regardless of who's in there with me. But the album

1316
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 1: version Album Live Rug didn't did not do anything for me.

1317
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: It almost turned me away. But the album version, all

1318
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: day long, you know, you know what tip of the calf.

1319
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: I knew that. I knew I would get back to you.

1320
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting oh yeah, hey, that in a public forum.

1321
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm all right with it. I am, I am, I

1322
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: do not. They're okay, that's great. Whatever strikes a chord

1323
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: with you, it doesn't matter. There's a lot of things

1324
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: that strike a chord that Matt knows musically. They're like,

1325
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But that is the one that

1326
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: I knew I would get written by you. But I'm

1327
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: all right with it. I mean, I can't top that

1328
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: at all. Segment you said two thousand and one, my

1329
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: mind was going in a bunch of different Oh yeah,

1330
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be like Oleander or something like,

1331
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: uh yeah, yeah. There's a lot of different directions to go.

1332
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad you guys didn't know that was the way

1333
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I was going. Okay, we're like live or Bush that

1334
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: like in two thousand and one, they all sounded the

1335
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: same to me. They did you know? They did as

1336
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: they didn't dislike it, but it was like, all right,

1337
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: I can't tell you which band this one is because

1338
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: they all sounded JJ what you got. I mean, he's

1339
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna share mine, but it's not going to be

1340
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: anywhere close. Otherwise I'm just gonna play skater Boy again. Okay, fine, alright, alright, alright,

1341
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: So right around two thousand and one, oh Now came out.

1342
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: All right, the first two tracks on it are the

1343
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: best five minutes of music I've ever heard in my life. Wow,

1344
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: it would be Andrew Wk's I get what the tracks are,

1345
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: It's time to party. And then the next track is

1346
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: party Hard, Party Hard. You might remember from Madden. It

1347
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: was in a Madden game in like two thousand something

1348
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: called Party Hard, Party Hard. If you hear it hard, Yeah,

1349
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: this was in a video game. Yeah, this is in

1350
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: a video game. All right. It's just it's like when

1351
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: you're like picking your teams, your players, like setting me

1352
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: up for gameplay. This is not good, Like this is

1353
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: not good, but whenever listen to it, it just takes

1354
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: me back. Yeah, great time. Like during college post college,

1355
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: we used to like listen to this when we were

1356
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna like go out, Okay, Dors, We're going to the

1357
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,720

1358
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Thank you for not playing skater boy. Yeah, props to you.

1359
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,640

1444
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: one of the things for me, like I grew up

1445
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: in a very musically like that's my parents. We have

1446
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: been playing music my entire life. Used to be in

1447
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: a band. My dad was in a band. They met

1448
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: singing and dancing at Holiday World. I mean, this is

1449
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: music is just enriched inside the Valley household. So when

1450
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: I was telling my parents some of the things that

1451
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: we keep these emails of the latest additions to the collection.

1452
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: I keep sending these things to my parents like they're

1453
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: licking their chops, you're kidding me. So, like like the

1454
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Janis Joplin, Um, what is the guitar that that he

1455
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: just like my mom's all time favorite is Janis Joplin. So,

1456
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: like I've told my parents about in they're like pump

1457
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: So it might be one of those things that I do,

1458
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: like my parents and me on the first day and

1459
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: then I take my kids and wife. Well, we'll see.

1460
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,439
