I'm John, joined 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: by the Voice of the Colts Matt Taylor and from 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Colts dot Com senior writer JJ Stankovitz is here. Guys. 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: The Colts have hired Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Stikin to 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: be their next head coach. Listen up. He's the franchises 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: eleventh permanent head coach since making the move to Indianapolis 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four. Stiken at age thirty seven, is 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: the second youngest head coach in franchise history. The Baltimore 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: Colts hired Don Shula at thirty three back in nineteen 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: sixty three. He is currently the third youngest head coach 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL, behind las Sean McVay and Minnesota's Kevin O'Connell. JJ, 36 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: let's start with you would you make of Stikeen's press today? Yeah? 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: I thought it was impressive. You know. He started off 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: by thanking the many people who have influenced him and 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: made an impact on him over the course of his career. 40 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: And he was emotional in that moment. And you think 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: about it, if you got your dream job and you're 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: sitting there and you're thinking about all the people that 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: helped you get that dream job, you'd be emotional too. 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: I thought it was a really really human moment for him. 45 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: And you know, just hearing him thank everyone from his 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: high school coach to North Turnati, to Philip Rivers, to 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: Nick Siriani, to his wife and his kids. I thought 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: that was really powerful just to start off. But you know, 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway, the biggest news I think that came 50 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: out of a Jeffrey was that he is going to 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: be the Colts offensive play caller. Yeah. Yeah, that is 52 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: going to carry over from his time in Philadelphia where 53 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: he had that role in twenty twenty one, two twenty two. 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: And then I love this the his offensive philosophy of 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: we are going to throw to score points and run 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: to win. I love that build up a lead by 57 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: throwing the football and then run the football to win 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: the game in the second half. I love that philosophy. 59 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: I loved hearing that, very impressed by Shane Stikeen in 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: his press conference and also too when Jim Hersay and 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard were up there talking about Shane before introducing 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: him as the head coach, all the different boxes that 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: he had to check off during the interview process, and 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: they talked to a lot of people for a long 65 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: period of time. They said, a lot of guys checked 66 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: some boxes, but Shane checked them all. And I think 67 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: it has more to do. It's on top of the 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: football acumen and the offensive prowess and the versatility and 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the creativity from a scheme standpoint. And Jim said, I 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: wanted to see leadership and I wanted to see a 71 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: presence with Shane. And I think that you can sense that. 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: You can feel that when you talk to him, research him, 73 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, research all that he's done and what other 74 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: people that he's encountered throughout his NFL career are saying 75 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: about him as well. It's a young guy, JJ, this 76 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: is a thirty seven year old guy, third youngest in 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: the NFL. Does that come into play at all, never 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: been having an official head coach title up to this 79 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: point of his career, I don't think so. I mean, 80 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: you look back at at his experience and coming in 81 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: with twelve years in the NFL, you know he has experience. 82 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: He started as a defensive assistant. He said that helped 83 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: him kind of learnt certain things on that side of 84 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the ball. He's did two years under North Turner in 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: that role twenty eleven twenty twelve, but then coming back 86 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: as the Chargers quarterbacks coach after he was a quality 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: control for a couple of years working with Philip Rivers. 88 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: Then he's the offensive coordinator. He's working with Justin Herbert, 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: and then he goes to Philadelphia and he's working with 90 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtzon, and the influences he has had over those 91 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: years doesn't really worry me that he doesn't have any 92 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: previous head coaching experience. That was most of the guys 93 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: the Colts talked to in this process. Not all of them, 94 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: but most of them. And I think the biggest thing, 95 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: just to kind of piggyback off of what you were saying, Matt, 96 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: about the leadership aspect of it. It's not just that 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: he's an offensive coach. That was not the qualifier for 98 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: this position. It was can you lead an entire team? 99 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: Can you be the right head coach for a football team, 100 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: not just the right head coach for an offense. And 101 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that is where Shane Stekin separated himself in 102 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: this process. And yes, it is a bonus that he 103 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: has experienced working with quarterbacks, developing young quarterbacks. Yeah, young 104 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: guys too, right, But that was not going to be 105 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: the deciding factor in this process. If it was, the 106 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: Colts wouldn't have bothered talking to some very impressive candidates 107 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: like Aaron Glenn, like Rich Bisaccia on the defense. Martindale, Right, exactly. Yeah, 108 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: let's let's look through these t leaves, real quick, lowhanging fruit, mate, 109 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: lohangan fruit. I'm just putting two special. I'm just putting 110 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: two and two together here. Colts need a quarterback right 111 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: draft position right now? Four right, got a couple of 112 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: young kids up there, and I can lead an offense, 113 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: right Shane Steiken comes in, young quarterback, that's you mentioned, 114 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: wink Martindale. We are the other ones that were out there, 115 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn included. Right, Um, does that come into play 116 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: because they're gonna say, hey, when this young and comes in, 117 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: whoever it is, the Colts get that quarterback. Whenever they 118 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: get a quarterback, you're gonna say, by the way, move 119 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: into the head coaches off you know, office, and get 120 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: a cot in there, because you're gonna be sleeping a 121 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: lot of hours learning this office. Right, Like JJ said, 122 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean, just because Shane Steiken has a tremendous amount 123 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: of experience on the offensive side of the ball and 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: orchestrating an offense that went to the Super Bowl doesn't 125 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: guarantee you success. That's not the sole reason why he's here, 126 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: but it really helps. It really helps when you could 127 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: potentially be targeting a young quarterback with a fourth overall 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: pick that's gonna have a lot of weight of the 129 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: organization on his shoulders right away. Right, we all know 130 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: how that goes. But I think the biggest thing that 131 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: you can point to in all of this is that 132 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: offense right now is winning in the National Football League. 133 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, thirty eight thirty five finals, that's where I 134 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: was going to the Super Bowl. The Eagles just put 135 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: up thirty five points in four hundred yards of offense 136 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and that wasn't enough, right, And 137 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: they've got Jalen Hurts and six Pro bowlers on that 138 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: side of the football. And we've talked about this on 139 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: prior podcasts, and each of the past two years, nine 140 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: of the top ten scoring offenses in the NFL have 141 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: made the playoffs. If you look at the last two 142 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: championship rounds right AFC NFC Championship games the last two years, 143 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: all of the coaches in those games have been offensive coaches, right, 144 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: coaches that come from an offensive background. So yeah, I mean, 145 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a prerequisite that the Colts 146 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: had to hire an offensive guy, but it certainly helps. 147 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: And I think he does have the gravitas to command 148 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: respect and hold guys accountable in the lock room when 149 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: he's talking about overseeing an entire team, not just an offense, 150 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: Like he said, it's the twenty six other guys he's 151 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with now on the defensive side 152 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: of the ball, overseas special teams. But it will be 153 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: interesting because Nick Sirianni talked openly about, Hey, I just 154 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: had too much on my plane in terms of game management, 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: calling plays, plus worrying about all of that at times 156 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: it was a little bit much. I trust this guy. 157 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: I trust Shane's dyke in to call the plays, to 158 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: still orchestrate the offense. But Shane's gonna do that here. 159 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna call the plays, at least initially. That's what 160 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: he said in his introductory press conference. So it'll be 161 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: interesting to see how he kind of delegates the different 162 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: moving parts that you have to have on a game 163 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: day operation to be successful. JJ. Whatever style quarterback comes 164 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: into this offense, whether it's small in stature or fleet 165 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: a foot or you know six seven with a rocket arms, 166 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: sits in the pocket, is styke and capable of adapting 167 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: to that. I mean, as far as we know, he's 168 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: worked with the different quarterbacks we talked about it earlier. 169 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: Is it any style quarterback that can comes in. Yeah, 170 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: he'll make it work. Ye. I mean, Justin Herbert and 171 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts are completely different quarterbacks with completely different skill sets, 172 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: and it's worked for both of those quarterbacks when Shane 173 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: Stiken has been their offensive a coordinator. I thought it 174 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: was interesting he was asked Shane Steke in what qualities 175 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: he looks for in a quarterback, and he said, accuracy, 176 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: decision making, and the ability to create those things are 177 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: very important. So keep that in mind as we move 178 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: forward here this offseason. If you're looking at draft prospects, 179 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: you're looking at free agents, whatever it may be, those 180 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: are qualities that chain Steken is going to look for 181 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: something else. I thought it was interesting may Tay. I 182 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: asked him about how he worked with Justin Herbert, because 183 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: Shane's talked about this, this theory of accelerated vision that 184 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: as you get more experience as a quarterback, your vision 185 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: speeds up, your processing speeds up. But he got an 186 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: awful lot out of Justin Herbert when he didn't have that, 187 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: when he didn't have those years of experience, And he 188 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: said something he told Herbert early on was your tailback 189 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: as your best friend. Just hey, if we run a 190 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: max protect play action, just dump it off to your 191 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: tailback if no one's open, get the ball there, and 192 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: you can create chunk plays explosives that way without necessarily 193 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: putting the ball into harm's way. And I think that's 194 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: a really good thing. If you're sitting there and you're 195 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, yeah, and you're like, all right, you know, 196 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: coming back, I'm healthy in twenty twenty three, and I 197 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: better be ready to catch some check down, some little flares, 198 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: swing passes, because that might be coming my way in 199 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: this Shane, if you're sitting here at talking about if, 200 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: and it's a big if. Right It's the middle of 201 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: February right now. If the Colts draft a young quarterback 202 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: number four overall coming up at the end of April, again, 203 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: that's a tall order for a guy to shoulder all 204 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: of that responsibility. You go back to a couple of 205 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: years ago at the end of the season press conference 206 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: that Chris Ballard had described in totality the season that 207 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz had. It's we need to make more layups. 208 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: Let's take what the defense gives us. Right, So, if 209 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about a young quarterback, let's rely on Jonathan Taylor, 210 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: and let's rely on Quentin Nelson. Let's get the ball 211 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: in space to Michael Pittman Junior and Alec Pierce and 212 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: Gilani Woods. And I think that's sort of what he's 213 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: referring to, because I think Jonathan Taylor is a better 214 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: pass catching back than a lot of the backs that 215 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: the Eagles had. And we'll see how it kind of 216 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: all manifests itself. We got more time with the combine 217 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: and the off season workout program hasn't started yet, but 218 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: you're excited in terms of what Shane Steiken can do 219 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: because he's done it and adapted to multiple different snell 220 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: groups in certainly different quarterbacks. Well, I gotta say this. 221 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: I met styke In very briefly earlier today. The only 222 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: thing I told them was, sixty thousand people knew you 223 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: were running the sneak with Jalen Hurts here at Lucas 224 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: Oil statum in the wind quarter. And he did say, 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: you gotta get your stars the ball. But play that play, 226 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: I think is a perfect example of what makes Shane 227 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: steke In such a good coordinator and play caller is 228 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: that it wasn't all right, yeah, all right, everyone knew, okay, 229 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the ball into the hands of our star. 230 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: But the Eagles, if you remember, on that play, they 231 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: they had been running that quarterback sneak, that kind of 232 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: quarterback draw when they were in two by two personnel 233 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: and they went three by one and they ran it then. 234 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: So I remember talking to Unique and Gackway, to Forrest Buckner, 235 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: Zaire Franklin after the game, who all told us that 236 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: they weren't alerted for a quarterback sneak because for the 237 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: most part they had ran QB sneaks when it was 238 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: either two by two or they were in empty and 239 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: it was like three by two, so three receivers to 240 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: one side, two receivers the other side, or two receivers 241 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: to each side. So because they dressed it up differently, 242 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: it was incredibly successful. And that's something that Shane Steken 243 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: is so good at doing. It's something he talked about 244 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: in his time at Philadelphia that there are endless ways 245 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: to dress up the same concepts and that was an 246 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: example of it. That was an example of it working 247 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: to perfection. That cost the cult a game. Like what 248 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: do you guys think, both of you guys, what do 249 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: you think of his influence will be on Chris Ballard 250 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: in that draft room? How much of an impact and 251 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: influence will you have on selection of players and the 252 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: style that fits? What's you know in his back pocket 253 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: as Hey, this is my offense, this cat to be 254 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: perfect in it. I think you want to have the 255 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: every every part of the organization should be aligned with 256 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: who you're going to take. If you're going to take 257 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback that high, it should go, owner, gm, head, 258 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: coach should all be in alignment on that. So I 259 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: think Stiken will have a very significant voice in that 260 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: because you think you think about again the qualities I 261 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: talked about, accuracy, decision making, ability to create Those are 262 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: now things that the Colts are going to be. You know, hey, 263 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: if we want to get Shane Steke and the right 264 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: guy for him to develop, well, we gotta find those 265 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: are the boxes you have to check. And you know, 266 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard today talk too about during the interview process 267 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: getting to no Shane and talking with him and talking shop, 268 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: talking ball that they see the game the same way. 269 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: That's not only concepts and personnel, but it's also measurements 270 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: in the draft, right. I mean, guys that sort of 271 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: fit what you want to do or what you want 272 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: to be about on offense, whether that's offensive line or 273 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: a pass catching tight end or a field stretching wide receiver. 274 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: There's certain benchmarks that I think Chris Ballard and Shane 275 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: Styken have when you talk about evaluating talent coming out 276 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: of the draft. So it's not just on the field, 277 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: it's personnel as well. So that's going to be interesting 278 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: to see how that sort of comes along and how 279 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: much chirping, as you like to say, Jeffrey Shane Styken 280 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: can do and Chris Ballard's ear near draft time, JJ 281 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: what's the next month look like for Shane Stykin? Real busy. 282 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: He's got to put a coaching staff together. He was 283 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 1: asked today if Gus Bradley and the defensive staff of 284 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: Bubba Ventron will stay on. He said, you know that 285 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: that's going to be the next thing on his plate, 286 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: is putting that staff together, hiring an offensive coordinator, and 287 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: then bringing in a new offensive coaching staff as well. 288 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: You would assume, um, that's gonna be a frenetic process. Um. 289 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is, we're sitting here two weeks 290 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: until the combine, right right now, two weeks from today, 291 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna be down at the Indianapolis Convention Center listening 292 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: to Chris Ballard and Shane Styken talk at the NFL 293 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: Combine as they start the real heavy evaluation of these 294 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: guys in the draft class. Yeah. Plus, he's gotta move 295 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: and he's got to get his family settled. The logistics 296 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: of it alone, I mean, my goodness, he's got two kids. 297 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: He's gotta you know, gotta get gotta get them here, 298 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's gonna be a very busy time 299 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: for Shane Steyken, that's for sure. They had a great 300 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: support staff here in Indianapolis as far as the Colts 301 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: goal with new members of the family. Whether they're a 302 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: head coach and football player or a secretary, it doesn't matter. 303 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: They're always there, guys. Mister Ursay had set up there 304 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard as well. Individually, these guys talk to the 305 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: candidates that were up for this position. I've basically went 306 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: to Shane steike In, but both of him had a 307 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: chance to talk. I want to zero in on one 308 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: because we talked about him the last half of the 309 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: year and a guy who's close to a lot of 310 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: people's hearts, Jeff Saturday here. We saw the video earlier 311 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: today that Jeff Saturday put out there, you know, a 312 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: fun one as he was he fishing, he was fair, 313 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: was like North Carolina, sure down there, well maybe maybe 314 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: maybe Georgia maybe yeah, North Florida in that type of 315 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: an area. But a great job that he did in 316 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: a tough job that was put in. And I just 317 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: wanted you guys to give give her thoughts on Jeff 318 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: Saturday what he came in because he was he was 319 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: a finalist. As mister Ursey said, he was putting a 320 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: bad position, a tough position that any coach would be 321 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: put in to try and kind of, you know, win 322 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: some ballgames with the way that we're we were acting, 323 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, mid year, with so much indecision going. Yeah, 324 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I really enjoyed my interactions with Jeff. I 325 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: thought he handled himself very well, especially in some hard times. 326 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about the the second half comeback 327 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: against Minnesota, the fourth quarter against Dallas. You know, Unfortunately, 328 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some you know, things that he'd like 329 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: to forget about his two months on the job in Indianapolis. 330 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's it was certainly a unique 331 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: situation that he came into, he agreed to do it. 332 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: I thought he did a really good job of handling 333 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: him himself with with a lot of class and integrity, 334 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: and you know, certainly it was a you know something 335 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: where he comes in and really is learning on the fly, 336 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: just like a lot of everybody else is adapting to 337 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: him on the fly within that locker room. Yeah, I'll 338 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: remember Jeff's time in Indianapolis briefly, but but very fondly 339 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: because of the way he treated me and treated everybody 340 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: within the organization with a lot of class. In respect, 341 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: I do to say players appreciated his view and his 342 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, emphasis on accountability during practice. You know, hearing 343 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: from guys after the season, they all said, you know, hey, 344 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: that was that that helped, even if the results weren't there. Uh, 345 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: the just that like we're doing it and we're gonna 346 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: do it until we do it right during practice. That 347 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: that was appreciated about that. I'm one of the few 348 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: out there, and I think if he wants a career 349 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: in coaching, I think he's a perfect candidate for his demeanor, 350 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: his temper as non temper rather, his way that he 351 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: deals with people, and his offensive skill set that's between 352 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: his ears because of playing with him. I mean, what 353 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: you see is what you get. I mean, right, he's 354 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: a genuine article as far as that goes. He's not 355 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: going to tell you anything behind or say anything behind 356 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: your back that he's not going to say in your 357 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: face in terms of holding guys accountable. A lot of 358 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: great candidates out there, but Shane Stiken is the man. 359 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: I liked what Philip Rivers had said about the Colts 360 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: new coaches said, he can throw away a playbook and 361 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: still call a game. You know that that's where he 362 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: gets from. Yeah, Yeah, where it's a beautiful mind type 363 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: thing return movie. His philosophy is, if you're looking at 364 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: your playsheet too much during a game, you're probably not 365 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: calling a very good game. Is that right? Yeah? So 366 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: you just gotta, you gotta, you got you live with them, 367 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: sleep with them, eat with them, know those plays inside 368 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: you prepare Monday through Saturday, so on Sunday you already 369 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: know the answers to the test.

So let's roll out 393 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: this heart it or hate it with some NFL items 394 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: not love items. Okay, got it? So good? Love it 395 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: the combines future, JJ, let's start with you. NFLPA executive 396 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: director to Maury Smith wants to get rid of the 397 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: NFL scouting combine and said he said he'd liked to 398 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: establish regional pro days, potentially put on by the players associations. 399 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: Smith cited that players have to wave their medical rights 400 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: and endure embarrassing questions from teams at said combine. Smith then, 401 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to say the evaluations from team doctors are 402 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: trying to decrease players draft values. Smith also said the 403 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: NFL doesn't need to combine to evaluate the physical traits 404 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 1: of a prospect, and the combine is for teams to 405 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: engage in intrusive employment actions that don't exist anywhere else 406 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: in the workfield. JJ with you, Dmouri Smith talking some big, 407 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: big things right here about the NFL combine, which happens 408 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: to be stationed here in Indianapolis. Do you hearted or 409 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: hate the idea of the combine disappearing? This is a 410 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: pretty complex issue to get into it. I think I 411 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: think I wouldn't like to see the combine go away? 412 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: But is there a way to reimagine it to make 413 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: it a little bit you know, I don't know. Maybe 414 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: maybe that exists, I don't. I think the thing that 415 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: everyone should be watching for is if agents were to 416 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: start holding their players out of the combine. That would 417 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: be probably the critical mass, which is the next step. 418 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: They're already being held out of bowl games, right would 419 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: you start holding your players out of the combine and 420 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: say we're just doing pro days. That would be where 421 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: this might cross into a discussion that the league needs 422 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: to have with the PA. But for right now, I 423 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: mean the medical stuff. You talk to anyone in the 424 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: NFL and they'll tell you the medicals are really what 425 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: the Combine is all about, you know, the medicals and 426 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: the interviews that you get to do, the time you 427 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: get to spend with these guys, And is it different 428 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: and is it unique than any other workplace. Yeah, I mean, well, 429 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: so it is playing in the NFL. So I don't know. 430 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: It's it's a really complex issue. It's got a lot 431 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: of layers to it. I don't want to sit here 432 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: and be like I love it or I hate it, 433 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: but it's I would probably just be a little bummed 434 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: if the Combine went away. Yeah, I think it's a 435 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: really complex issue as well. But I'm sort of right 436 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: there in the middle. I think there's a lot of 437 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: truth to what Demorris Smith is saying, but I don't 438 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: want to see the Combine completely disappear. You can be 439 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: a Division three player and be on the peripheral radar 440 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: of some team, right to be drafted in the sixth 441 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: or seventh round, or to be an undrafted free agent. 442 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: You can find film on these It's twenty twenty three, okay. 443 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: You can find film on anybody in about thirty seconds, 444 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: so you don't need to see a guy or run 445 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: another forty yard dash or a short shuttle. I mean, 446 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: you can find that information and you can gleam what 447 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: you need to out of pro days and sitting down 448 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: with guys in the interviews. But the problem is the 449 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: interviews are such a big piece of the combine. The 450 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: teams don't want that to go away. But the players 451 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: would probably be fine to see that all go away 452 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: because they're put through the ringer. Most teams are pretty 453 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: professional about it. But you always hear about stories of 454 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: teams asking these weird psychological in high score, like if 455 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: you address what color would you be? Or you know, 456 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: if you're a food what type? I mean, it's just 457 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: it's just really weird. I understand that aspect of it, 458 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: mat I really do, because D Murray Smith said the 459 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: intrusive employment actions that don't exist anywhere else. I understand 460 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: that there's only twelve hundred or so of these jobs 461 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: a year that are open for NFL players in the 462 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: world for that matter. You know, and then you look 463 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: at entertainment in Hollywood and action movies and stuff. Do 464 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: they have those interviews with those type of people that 465 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: are making twenty million year, So I understand his point 466 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: on that, saying a but it is the NFL, which 467 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: is a rare, very exclusive club to get into, and 468 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: the most elite players and athletes in the world, they're 469 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: the only ones that are going to be able to 470 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: get in. I do think though it's fair to say, 471 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and JJ feel free to chime in. I do think 472 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: it's fair to say that the focus has shifted on 473 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: the combine. You know, it's not the end all be 474 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: off if you run a bad forty or if you 475 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: don't test well on you know, your individual drills and 476 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: the combine on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. It 477 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: is more so about the health and the medical and 478 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: the X rays and the interviews. So I think we're 479 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: shifting a little bit, But I don't think it's I 480 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: don't think it's at the point where we want to 481 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: see it completely go way. But I think, like JJ said, 482 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: maybe we adapt it to where it makes more sense 483 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: to fit everybody's criterier. I like that it's here though, 484 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: I really do. I like it. It's like it's a 485 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: big it's a big old convention. I mean, everyone points 486 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: good point. You know, you have the who's who of 487 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: the NFL coming in Indianapolis for a week every year. 488 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 1: It's a great time, you know, good just catching up 489 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: with people around the league. Team said, hate each other, 490 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: I'll go out to dinner together. Up wind up at 491 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Prime at two o'clock in the morning. Is you know, 492 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: hated rivals shaking hands and having a beer. All right, 493 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Hey, more coming up. NFL flex scheduling 494 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell said last week that Amazon, the league's new 495 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football rights holder, could also have that ability 496 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: down the line. We saw it earlier this year as 497 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: far as them flexing some games that have playoff implications. Matt, 498 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: do you heard it or hate it? The idea of 499 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football being able to flex game. As a fan, 500 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: you love it, right because you're gonna get better matchups 501 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: potentially on Thursday Night. And we just ask Al Michaels 502 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: if he's a fan of flex scheduling. Okay, um, But 503 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: I mean the coaches would hate it because we all 504 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: know the coaches start working on Thursday Night Football as 505 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: soon as the schedule comes out because it is such 506 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: a short, unique week of work, because you're trying to 507 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: cram in six days where the prep into about two 508 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: and a half three depending on if you have to travel, 509 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: so it's really really hectic. So the teams won as 510 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: much prep time as possible, But the NFL wants better matchups, 511 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: and the NFL will do what the fans want and 512 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: what produces more money, and that is flex scheduling on 513 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: Thursday Night. So it's coming well. The way flex scheduling 514 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: works now for Sunday Night Football, you can flex a 515 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: game within twelve days of it being played. I think 516 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: for Thursday Night Football you'd have to you'd have to 517 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: at least tomb that. I mean, I mean you could 518 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: three weeks, yeah you something, you know that would be 519 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: absurd to do twelve days, but yeah, you would have to. 520 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: You'd have to give probably a month's notice, but you could. 521 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: Then you know, you get some you know, Thursday night 522 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: game in December between two teams that aren't very good, 523 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the NFL could you know, 524 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,959 Speaker 1: make that a more lucrative day for Amazon N one 525 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million tuned in. The problem is, oftentimes 526 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: I forget about Thursday Night Football. I mean I'll just 527 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: raise my hand. I'm probably in the minority. Forget about. 528 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: My favorite games this year was the Jaguars Jets Thursday 529 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: Night game in December where it was like a torrential down. 530 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was it. You look at it 531 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: like it was a whole game, but it looked the 532 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: Jags just chipped away at this great Jets defense the 533 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: whole night and they finally pulled it out at the end. 534 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: That game was fun. No one would have thought when 535 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: the schedule came out that Jags Jets would have been 536 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: a great game on Thursday night, but hey, it was, 537 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: and it was between two teams there in playoff contention. Hey, 538 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I forget that it's on like it'll 539 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: be like in nine thirties. Oh there's a game tonight, guys. 540 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying this. One hundred thirteen million watched Super Bowl. 541 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: That's one in three people in the United States. I 542 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: know there's elderly, I know there's young kids and everything, 543 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: but everybody watches a game. The only game in town. 544 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: I'm watching Thursday night. I say, listen, like, bro, if 545 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: you could flex it a day before, I mean, that's 546 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: what it is like, then flex it. It's like at 547 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: this point, obviously that's not realistic. But I mean the 548 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: power of the game, the power of the NFL, and 549 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: the power of that. There's gonna be nothing that's on 550 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: television this year as far as the United States goes 551 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: alone and viewership, that's gonna that's gonna beat one thirteen millions. 552 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: What was it? These guys will do anything they can 553 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: to get more eyes on the point was that the 554 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: New York Times had sixteen of the top seventeen highest 555 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: rated TV programs this past year, we're NFL games and 556 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: it was like, out of the top one hundred, it 557 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: was like eighty seven. We're football. Oh I love it. Hey, guys, 558 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: I like talking about other teams players too, So join 559 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: along with me. Derek Carr he met with the Saints 560 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: last week and formed New Orleans that he won't approve 561 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: a trade to the Saints or any other team for 562 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: that matter. Why is that, JJ? Because he kind of 563 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: he has a no trade clause. So he held all 564 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: the power, and today the Las Vegas Raiders released Ower. 565 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: He had forty point four He had forty point four 566 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: million and guarantees eye on his contract to kick in 567 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: on February fifteenth, which is tomorrow. So JJ just by 568 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: saying that by declining to trade, he's gonna have the 569 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: ability to fit our visit rather with any team. About 570 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: a month before free agents he opens, He's expected to 571 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: draw interest from a lot of teams who are in 572 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: the market for a veteran qb JJ start with you 573 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: do you love? Do you hearted? Or do you hate it? 574 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: The way that Derek Carr did this little deal with 575 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: the Vegas Raiders, Yeah, where he was away from the 576 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: team to the end of the year. I mean, I 577 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: think you probably say you don't love that, But also 578 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you know the writings on the wall, right like ifs 579 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: if Derek Carr's in the building, is that really materially 580 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: changing the culture and changing the outcome of the season 581 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: for the Raiders? Probably not so, I don't I guess, 582 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: like I don't harder or hate it. I just like 583 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: don't care. I think Derek Car's a really solid quarterback 584 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: that you're you're the This is the Valentine in class 585 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: who I forgot about. I forgot about Jeff. I forgot 586 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: to give him a Valentine Shoot, I always forget about him. 587 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: Dang it. Well, maybe next year. That's where I'm at 588 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: with this one. Hey, you remember that, mate, anything on car? 589 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: You like the way he did it? I always remember 590 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: get out of town and I know, but I'm is 591 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: my best friend. I'm bringing up a car to you 592 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: because you still have a poster on your on your 593 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: adult I'm just saying you always love this guy. The 594 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: only way he would come back here in the NFL 595 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: or in the Indianapolis hera is it would be in 596 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: a backup road in my personal opinion. But yeah, question, 597 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: We've got a long time for that. I know, does 598 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: he have snaps left in him? And will he play 599 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: football as a starter? Oh, I think he's got a 600 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: big second chapter if you will in line for him. 601 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: I really do. And you know, smart by him. This 602 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: is a smart move because he can basically by doing this. 603 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: If you're gonna bench me, you're not gonna dictate where 604 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. You're not gonna trade me to someplace 605 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to play and then also get assets 606 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: back in return. No, You're gonna release me and force 607 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: this no trade clause. I'm gonna be a free agent 608 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: so I can go where I want to go and 609 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: where I know I can win and where I can succeed. 610 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: So tip of the cap to Derek Carr and he's 611 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: smart on the field and off the field as well. 612 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: This guy, that's your guy.
