00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: week and do my lawn, my hedging and my bushes.

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160

00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: I would though, you know, I'd say the word and

41
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: I'd be there.

42
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Hey, I love it.

43
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: Man.

44
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: We're sniffing training camp, mate. And what I mean by

45
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: that is our summer's officially kind of over. But it's

46
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: not a bad thing. Next Wednesday, Next Wednesday, Colts fans,

47
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: the Colts players will be reporting to camp and Thursday

48
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: that it's us. They'll be on in helmets and shorts

49
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: out there from ten to eleven o'clock. So just before

50
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: we get into a little burning questions we have in

51
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: a training camp preview, mate, what are you looking most

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: forward to this training camp as opposed to last training camp.

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: We did have some roster you know difficulties last year

54
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: at this time, wondering who's gonna show, who's not going

55
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: to show right now? But I'm telling you it's one

56
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: hundred percent right now in main thing a healthy quarterback.

57
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Well, that's just it. I was going to start there.

58
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: If you're talking big picture, you know, real quick about

59
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: training camp, it's it's got to be Anthony Richardson. It's

60
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: it's how does he look? You know, where is the arm?

61
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: Where is he in terms of the rehab, because towards

62
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: the end of the mandatory mini camp he wasn't throwing.

63
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: Is he going to be able to throw, you know,

64
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: one hundred percent full velocity for consecutive days at the

65
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: start of camp because last year, to your point, you're

66
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: you're also right in saying that Anthony Richardson was a

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: rookie coming off the spring and he was still kind

68
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 3: of splitting time or splitting days early on in training

69
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: camp with Gardner Minshew everybody. I mean, he don't have

70
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: to do that now. Everybody knows this is his team.

71
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: So I'm really eager to see, you know, where Anthony

72
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 3: Richardson is in terms of health and also just just

73
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: mental aptitude and being ahead of the game this year

74
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: compared to where he was last year.

75
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely can't wait. And this team is loaded with veterans

76
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: and young players alike. Obviously what Chris ballor did all

77
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: eyes are going to be on Leatu Latu. A couple

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: of rookies like a d Mitchell, we're going to be

79
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Gould will throw in the mix. Gun Salves Bordolini.

80
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Can't wait with this team. All right, let's talk some

81
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: football right now because we got burning questions. As I said,

82
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: training camp opening up next Thursday. You can get all

83
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: the information on Colts dot com and also listen to

84
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: what's going on in Colts World on the Colts Audio Network. Mate,

85
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: it's unfolding next week at Grand Park. I want to

86
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: break down some burning questions right now. I want to

87
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: start with the linebackers here, and we got a couple

88
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: of good ones.

89
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about everything, but what linebackers linebackers, and

90
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 3: we didn't get heavy, heavy into the special teams unit,

91
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: but they're that three headed monster is kind of you know,

92
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: set when it comes to that.

93
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: But this, this defense, and this young defense in the

94
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: secondary is what we're going to be focusing on here.

95
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: But I want to start with the linebackers a bit

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: zire Franklin, EJ. Speed, a one to two tandem. If

97
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: you will start with Zayr real quick. What he brings.

98
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: Is he working his waist? I think he is. Is

99
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: he slowly working his way into the one of the

100
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: best linebackers to ever And I say this to ever

101
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: play for the Colts.

102
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, the guy's just a stud.

103
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: He's a playmaker, and he's he's certainly the unquestioned leader

104
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: on defense, maybe the entire team. And to your point,

105
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: the guy's story is unbelievable. Right, seventh round pick, not

106
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: playing a lot, special teams guy, and then the door

107
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: opens for him in twenty twenty two with the injury

108
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: to Shaq, Leonard gets more playing time. He then becomes

109
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: a starter, and what does he do. He sets the

110
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: franchise record, single season, franchise record for tackles. Right then

111
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: comes back the next year twenty twenty three and does

112
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: it again one hundred and seventy nine tackles by his

113
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: own record, right man. And so the good thing about

114
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: this offseason with Zaire in mind is now he's getting

115
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: paid like a top linebacker. He completely outplayed his contract

116
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: that he signed before twenty twenty two, and now he's

117
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: one of the best linebackers in the game both production

118
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: on the field and then again reflected financially off the field.

119
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and one of the leaders in that locker room

120
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: and as well. And he's got a great social media presence.

121
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: He said something like the other day to all you

122
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: haters out there, you step in line, I'll dump you

123
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: on your head too. I mean, kid good at that part.

124
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: I know he's been you know him and c. J.

125
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: Stroud going back and forth. Can't wait for that Colts opener.

126
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: Don't forget early September, the Texans coming to town. Let's

127
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: stay there. May take EJ. Speed. What does he bring

128
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: to the defense, obviously alongside of Zia Franklin at the linebacker.

129
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: Yes, athleticism. Now he's got the experience and just the

130
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: playmaking ability. He's got a really good nose for the football.

131
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: But this guy can play at a really high level,

132
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: just like Zia Franklin. Just all he needed was an opportunity.

133
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: He just flies around. One of my favorite things about EJ.

134
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: Speed is to see him blitz. Yes, he's one of

135
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: the best blitzing linebackers I've ever seen. I think back

136
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: to that Cleveland game last year, right the game the

137
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: Colts should have won, you know, kind of the the

138
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: officiating debacle. He made the play that should have won

139
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: the game for the Colts. But yeah, those two guys,

140
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: Zya Franklin and EJ. Speed, I would be hard pressed

141
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: to find a better linebacker duo in the NFL.

142
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: Hey, depth is everything, but those two guys being healthy,

143
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: Colts got a couple of the best in the business.

144
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: Right there. Let's stay in the defensive backfield out though,

145
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: we know what Juju Brentz is gonna have. We got

146
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: Kenny Moore at the nickel corner, and let's just place

147
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Juju Brentz as a starter on the one side in

148
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: the defensive backfield right now, may take go to the

149
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: other side. What about that position.

150
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: Battle, Yeah, I think it's going to come down to

151
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: probably Jalen Jones and Dallas Flowers. Right those are the

152
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: young guys, they're relatively unheralded in terms of where they

153
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: were drafted or in Dallas Flowers case, how he got

154
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: into the NFL. But you know, like we said all

155
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: off season, the Colts made a statement on how they

156
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: feel about those players by not addressing that position in

157
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: free agency. So they like the talent they've got there.

158
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: You know, Jones last year started ten games. Flowers has

159
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: started five games in his career. But he's coming off

160
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: in achilles tear week four. But he looked pretty good

161
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: to me. He looked really good, close to one hundred

162
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: percent health in the spring, didn't really seem to be limited.

163
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: So I think Jones we'll probably get the first crack

164
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: at the starting or in the starting lineup, I should say,

165
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: But that's gonna be an ongoing camp battle all August long.

166
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: I presume, right outside of Kenny Moore and Julian Blackman,

167
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: this is a young defensive secondary mate. Let's go to

168
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: safety Nick Cross out there, Rodney Thomas from Yale, a

169
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: seventh rounder from a few years back. What does that

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: position battle like opposite of Julian.

171
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's gonna be one that you're gonna

172
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: be monitoring all August long as well, because Nick Cross

173
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: towards the end of last year, well, well, he started

174
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: to get way more playing towards the end of last year.

175
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: In fact, started the last two games of the season

176
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: in place of Rodney Thomas, who had a great rookie season.

177
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: And then again his playing time towards the end of

178
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: last year, his sophomore campaign kind of tailed off a

179
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: little bit. But I think it's a big year for

180
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: both of those guys year three. As far as Cross

181
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: is concerned, the defensive coaching staff that they seem to

182
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: trust him more, They're getting more comfortable with getting him

183
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: out there. His maturity, He's got huge upside with his speed,

184
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: his athleticism, his playmaking ability again knows for the ball,

185
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: all the things we're saying about EJ. Speed. But I

186
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: would suspect you're going to see Cross get the start

187
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: with the starting defense at the beginning of the camp

188
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: and we'll see where it goes from there.

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: All that is happening next week. Wednesday is report Day.

190
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: The next day, Thursday, they will be on the field

Speaker 2: a part of this Ring of Honor and and just

251
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: the initial when you first heard about this honor that

252
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,319

Speaker 5: Pete Ward text me and it was nothing, you know,

256
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 5: like he's done that before, and you know, I just

257
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 5: figure something was coming up and it was awesome. Because

258
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: I didn't even wasn't on the radar. And he's like, hey,

259
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 5: dal give me a call. So I called him up

260
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: and we're, you know, just catching up and it was awesome.

261
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: I love that guy and he's the best and and

262
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: so we're just talking family, talking, farming and and uh.

263
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 5: And then I'm like, hey, what what what do you

264
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 5: need Pete and and he's like, well, uh, Erse, they

265
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 5: wanted me to get this to you. He's going to

266
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 5: give you a call here, but but we want to

267
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 5: get the news out and you want to get the

268
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 5: ball rolling here and he told me, and uh, and

269
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: it just stopped me. I mean, it was it was amazing.

270
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 5: It was just like, oh, boy, didn't even forgot about

271
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 5: this thing, you know, I just kind of put this

272
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: in the back of my head and completely forgot about it.

273
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 5: And uh. And so it just it caught me off guard.

274
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 5: And then a couple of days later, mister Ersta called

275
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: me and had a phenomenal conversation with him and and

276
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 5: just kind of had some you know, just some great

277
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: memories of of of those times. And and I think, Jeffrey,

278
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 5: that's and Matt, I think that's what this does, right.

279
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: It makes you kind of reflect and and uh, it's

280
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 5: been a joy and and uh, you know, doing these

281
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 5: type of interviews and and and talking to guys that

282
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 5: were there and and have have seen cold football, no

283
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 5: colts football and and believe the horseshoes like all of us.

284
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 5: And it's it's uh, it's truly special.

285
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: Well, Dallas, I I was fortunate enough to be when

286
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: you landed in Indianapolis the day after to the draft.

287
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: You're a first.

288
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Round pick, and you came in and met the front office,

289
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: and I remember it vividly. I remember the dockers you

290
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: were wearing that were three sizes too big, and the

291
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: and the shirt that that and the shirt that I

292
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: think you borrowed from your brother, and you know what

293
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like from that time to where

294
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: you are right now. I'm just saying there was some

295
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: some change in your career.

296
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: Hey, in fact, and also I want everyone to know

297
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,960

Speaker 3: Know no one thinks that.

300
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 5: By the way, hey, okay, oh they finally figured you out.

301
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 5: Just so everyone knows that this picture may or may

00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 5: not have reappeared in the locker room, in several lockers

303
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 5: for no apparent reason, just to make fun of Like, wow, Dallas,

Speaker 5: remember when you look like an idiot? I mean my hair,

305
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 5: like I was the only idiot. I used jil cumb

Speaker 3: That is such a nineties love by the way, Dallas.

311
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean what what? And PLETED like yeah, I

312
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 5: mean it was just it was just all all of

313
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: the JT. Penny shoes And what was the worst part

314
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: about it? When mister Pullian called that glorious dady and

315
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: and said, hey, we're going to take you as the

316
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 5: twenty fourth pick, and and uh, you know, I had

317
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: the whole number debacle.

318
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: You know.

319
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 5: He asked me what my number? He's like, hey, what

320
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: number would that be in? And I thought I was

321
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 5: being cute and I'm like, well, you know, I'm forty

322
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: four in college. I can't be that in the NFL.

323
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: He's like, no, you need an eighties number. And I'm like, hey,

324
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: you know what, mister bully, And how about I'll double it,

325
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: I'll be eighty eight. And it was the long pause. Instantly,

326
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: I think I said something wrong and I didn't follow

327
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: the NFL very closely. And then I'm a little naive

328
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: and I'll take.

329
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: Eighteen while you're in it.

330
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 5: He goes, He goes, Marvin Harrison, where's that number? And

331
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my, you're still taking me right?

332
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 5: I mean, because they had, you know, they had announced,

333
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: they still could have changed their picture. It might have

334
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: been a better call because you know, witness freaking you know,

335
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: he probably should have, Hey, Rob, number down, we'll call

336
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 5: you back. She won't call you back. And so so

337
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: then he tells me to tell me, misters is gonna

338
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: fly your plane. You're gonna come out to the meeting.

339
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: Oh when's that? You know? Saturday? No, in like two hours?

340
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: Quick?

341
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: Wait? What? Shoot? So I went home and that's what

342
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: I found, buddy. That was my closet that I ironed it.

343
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 5: And that's what you got. Thick tie. I mean my

344
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: tie was like tight. I mean it was. It was

345
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: all sorts of bad.

346
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: Now, it was wonderful and a great part of your story,

347
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Dallas Clark. And if we stay in that time frame,

348
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: if you could was there. You're coming out of Iowa

349
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: playing a basically a new position. You went there as

350
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: a linebacker, you ended up as a you know, one

351
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: of their best tight ends ever there won the John

Speaker 2: Mackiew Award. Were you ever? I'm sure you were at

353
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: some point. But the intimidation factor when you're walking into

354
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: that locker room. You see eighteen, you see eighty eight,

355
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: you got eighty seven, there, sixty three, all these greats

356
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: around you. Was there an intimidation factor for you early on?

357
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: You think God still in I mean I still huddle.

358
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 5: I remember. So that was back in the day when

Speaker 5: he's in the Caribbean or whatever. Like like you were

365
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: there and it was intense. I remember getting that huddle.

371
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 5: I mean it was it was intimidating, but it was

372
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: the best motivation. Okay. You know, It's kind of like

373
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,399

374
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480

397
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: that's the way he coached.

00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and and you know what, Jeffely, you know

399
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 5: what the best the best compliment, top five best compliments

400
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: I've ever gotten in my life. We're at the ring

401
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,000

Speaker 5: get over to Tom and we give each other big hugs.

404
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 5: And Tom's not a big hugger, and which makes I

405
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: am a hugger. So it makes me even better because

406
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 5: I love hugging those type of people a little bit

407
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: longer because you can just actually feel them crawling in

408
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,720

00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: sort of pressure.

429
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 5: Oh you think. And then you have coach Dune, who

430
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,640

433
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 5: at you don't let him down. It was an environment

434
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 5: that was like you walked through those doors and your

435
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: your ears were up. I mean, it was it was

436
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: time to go to work. Every step was methodical, Every

437
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 5: step was with a purpose, every move, every meeting, every

438
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 5: you know, watching film. You didn't go in there and

439
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 5: just go through the motions one. No one would allow that.

440
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dallas Clark is whether us he's going into the

441
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Cult's Ring of Honor. He's going to be inducted the

442
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: Miami game coming up on October twentieth, halftime at Lucas

443
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Oil Stadium of that game. And I know, Dallas, you

444
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: know you're you're being humble. You're talking about John Mackie

445
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: still being the greatest Cults Titan ever. I mean, you

446
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: are the all time leader among tight ends in franchise

447
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: history and catches receiving touchdowns, your yards are second. But

448
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: to be the first tight end, Dallas, to go into

449
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor, the first tight end in franchise

450
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: history to be inducted into this or in this fashion,

451
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: I should say, what does that mean to you?

452
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: You know? I spoke to Chapel Mike here like right

453
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 5: when it happened, and I try not to get emotional,

454
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: you know, and it wasn't good. When he's like Mandels

455
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: like no one's ever reacted like this, I'm like, uh, really,

456
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 5: cause when you get drafted one like, obviously you don't

457
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 5: have no control when you get drafted, so getting drafted

458
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 5: first round, didn't see that coming. And then you get

459
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 5: to this team where you're like, okay, all right, let's

460
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 5: just let's go play ball. You know, it's certainly not

461
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 5: not a goal, you know, getting on the ring of eye.

462
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 5: I mean you see that, you know, That's that's what

463
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 5: I think of. Like when you go on the road

464
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 5: and you play in all these stadiums, that's the first

465
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: thing you do. You check the grass, you check the

466
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 5: tur or whatever whatever surface you're playing, and you checked that,

467
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 5: and then while you're warming up, you're always you always

468
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 5: read those names. You always I did, anyway, I always

469
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: read those names and go, oh, never heard that guy.

470
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: Oh he's a badass. Okay, you know you just kind

471
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 5: of went through them and and and just you know,

472
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 5: see who who those people were. And uh. And and

473
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: to think that, like guys are going to be coming

474
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: into the stadium and looking up and they're going to

475
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: be seeing my name, it's like what Uh, it's it's beautiful.

476
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 5: It's just it's crazy to think that ninety nine percent

477
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: of it is because of all the other names up

478
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 5: there and my all my other teammates, right, you know,

479
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 5: pushing us and pushing me and and coaches and all

480
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 5: those teams, all those names represent a group of men

481
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 5: that that had had a love for the game and

482
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: had a love to win. I had a love to

483
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 5: compete That just is not normal and maybe not healthy.

484
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: Uh you know, you know, you know, but there is

485
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 5: just that level of like all those guys that we

486
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: played with, like there's just they're just a different breed.

487
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 5: And then when it when the lights came on, oh boy,

488
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 5: like watch out, those dudes showed up and it was

489
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 5: awesome to be running right next to them.

490
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: Well, I want to stay right there. And and last

491
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: one for me, I mean, you're going to be the

492
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: nineteenth member of the Ring of Honor, but more specifically

493
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: down you're going to be the eleventh member of that

494
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 3: era that you're talking about, that era of greatness that

495
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: I like to call it in the two thousands where

496
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: every year you guys went twelve and four, you made

497
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: it look so easy, You won the AFC South every year,

498
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: seemingly made the playoffs and just did it with with style,

499
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: and you know, the the huge numbers on offense what

500
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: what do all those guys mean to you? What does

501
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 3: that era mean to you now that you're removed from it?

502
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: And why was that so special to the history of

503
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 3: this franchise.

504
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 5: Well, I think, you know what, all those guys, I

505
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 5: think a lot of them, you know, a lot of

506
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: them were picked by Pulling, So they came in. You know,

507
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 5: we all came in the same time of you know,

508
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 5: with the same idea of like, hey, I just want

509
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: to be a great football player. The thatis Coles first say,

510
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: all the way down was the franchise that one believes

511
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 5: in them, two gave them the opportunity, and three gave

512
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 5: them a supporting cast with players and coaches to just

513
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 5: maximize everyone's ability. Then then it kind of makes sense that, oh, okay,

514
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: there's the reason why we won twelve games in freaking

515
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 5: how many times year in a row and doing all

516
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: these offensive numbers, all these all these wins as a team,

517
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 5: and because we had dudes, you know, and and and

518
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 5: and and you put those guys And what's great about

519
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: it is we lived and then you know, we worked

520
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 5: in an era where you know, the game has seriously changed, right,

521
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 5: I mean I would go back and change it for

522
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 5: the you know, for the world. I absolutely loved you know,

523
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 5: we could be on the other side of the freaking

524
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 5: field and Harrison could just drill me in the back

525
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: and make me just you know, go flying and look

526
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 5: at the ref and he'd be like, head off football, Bud.

527
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 5: Now they can't even like do anything like I mean,

528
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 5: it was just it was awesome. It was just it

529
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 5: was great. And uh and and to see, you know,

530
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: go to battle with those guys every day was just

531
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: it was unique. It was it was special. And obviously

532
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 5: you look at sports and it doesn't come by it

533
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: too often. And you know, obviously the Chiefs are making

534
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 5: a run here, but free agency and things like that,

535
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 5: it's just not gonna happen again, right right. It's just

536
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: a unique situation for franchises to have that. And we

537
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 5: had lightning in.

538
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: A bottle for a long time newest member of the

539
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor in Indianapolis, that is Dallas Clark. And

540
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to wrap up with giving you a chance

541
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: to talk about, you know, one of the greatest ever

542
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: to play the positions of quarterback, and I'm talking about

543
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning and how he made you better. Dallas, you

544
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: talked about, didn't think you were a first rounder. Got

545
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: that gut on the boss's jet plane really quick? Oh wow,

546
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: eighty eight's there? Eighty seven eighteen. And not only that,

547
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: you were part of that great comeback victory in Tampa

548
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: your first year. Don't forget. So you're thinking, what boy,

549
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: oh boy? I mean, I'm coming out of Iowa and

550
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: I have greatness around me and you're doing stuff that

551
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: has not been done in the NFL for you know,

552
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: one hundred years to get that sort of thing. But

553
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: it's all starting with Peyton. We know that he makes

554
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: people great that he's around and if you could just

555
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: kind of touch on what he meant to your career

556
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: and what you meant to his career, Uh, well, I.

557
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 5: Think it's a little offside. You know. I think his

558
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 5: his impact in my career was everything. He was that

559
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: the driver of this whole thing, you know, and obviously

560
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: you know Tom and confidence in Peyton and give him,

561
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 5: you know, that ability to kind of just have that

562
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: that control and that command for the offense, and then

563
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 5: you know, I approached it, you know, with zero ego.

564
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 5: You know, I think that's what was great about this team.

565
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 5: You know, we had guys that you know, because if

566
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: you had an ego problem, like it wasn't gonna work

567
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 5: because you had to kind of give a little to

568
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: let Peyton tell you what to do. But then if

569
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 5: you understood what was going on, which we all did,

570
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 5: it's like, okay, if we if we play the game

571
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 5: like if we're at where we need to be or see,

572
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 5: if we see the game like he's seeing it, then

573
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 5: we all win. We're all going to be better. But

574
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: if I sit there and go, no, I'm going to

575
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: run my route and you just give me the ball, well,

576
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: then he's not comfortable, and then it's not going to work.

577
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 5: And you know, so it was a great big dance

578
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 5: you know of eleven dudes that just knew their role,

579
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 5: and it was so much fun to be around Peyton

580
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 5: and watch him work. Ultimately, guys watching him back it up.

581
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: You know, anyone can be a leader. And you can't

582
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: see my air quotes, but what the great leaders do

583
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 5: is that they do what they preached, they do what

584
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 5: they harp just like Coach Dungee. The consistency that that

585
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 5: man walked and that's why Peyton was the best, and

586
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 5: I will always say he's the best because he showed

587
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 5: it every day, and and then if he had a

588
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: bad game, how he responded pro pro and and and

589
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 5: he truly was And and if you just sit back

590
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 5: and you watched and you take notes, you're learning, you're

591
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: getting better. And that's why we were all able to

592
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 5: just kind of keep pushing the needle every year. How

593
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 5: about we do how about we get a little bit better.

594
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 5: You know how many times, you know, how many teams

595
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 5: would have been like, hey, we're good, we're you know,

596
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 5: we could just hit cruise control. Never was that allowed, right,

597
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 5: I mean, we it was. It was always a challenge

598
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 5: every time. And that's where it's just kind of craziness that.

599
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't really get to truly enjoy it

600
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 5: until it's these conversations, because when you're in it, we

601
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 5: didn't have time to go, man, we're awesome. It'd be like, okay,

602
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 5: here we go. We got who got got Tennessee night game? Okay,

603
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 5: let's go. You know they're going to be because we

604
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: got everyone. Everyone thought they were going to break us,

605
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: everyone thought they had the new way to stop us. Everyone.

606
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: I mean, we're seeing wrinkles every week. I mean, it

607
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: was it was awesome. Yeah, and be able to sit

608
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 5: at that line seventy thousand craziness going down yelling at us,

609
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: and we just sit there and see the you know,

610
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: see the adjustment, see the role, see the you know,

611
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: coverage whatever, and Peyton doing this thing and making those

612
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 5: checks and all right, stop this.

613
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: And stuff got right right Dallas, Clark, you're not only

614
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: a friend of the show and obviously people in the
