Welcome to overtime on a 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: Thursday evening. Good to be with you. We're with you tonight. 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: Because the NFL schedule for twenty twenty three is out, 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: the Colts know the when and the where for their opponents. JJ. 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: This is when it starts to feel real. This is 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: when I think we can officially close the book on 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a lot of the off season with the draft and 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: the combine and free agency. We've had all of that 11 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: and we know where we're going to be in the fall. Yeah. 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 2: It's always kind of cracks me up with this year. 13 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: Mayte with this time of year because you get all 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: the people being like, oh, we already know the opponents. 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Who cares? 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: But there's something tangible about getting the schedule after the draft, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: after the waves of free agency have kind of crested over. 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: The Colts. Roster is not set, but it is for 19 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: the most part set. You know who the players are 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: going to be now we know when they're going to 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 2: play against who, and that that has a certain feeling 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: to it of excitement, of hopefulness, of planning out your 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: fall and figuring out which weddings you're not going to 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: go to because someone at a fall wedding, you know, 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: the weekend that we're playing the rams at Home and Buy, 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 2: you know you want. 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: To go to the home improvement project, right, Yeah, it's 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: which vacations are going to take. 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I love this time of year. You can 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: start really thinking about what this season is going to 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: look like. Now that we have the schedule in front 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: of us. 33 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot to get into. We'll try to cram 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: this in in a short amount of time, make it 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: as compact but also full of information. Here. So again, 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: the full schedule is out. It's on colts dot com. 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: So if you want to fall along on this podcast, 38 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: that might be helpful if you want, if you are 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: near a computer, or maybe pull it up on your 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: phone as we sit here and talk right now. We 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: won't go through every game, but we'll just talk about 42 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: this slate in the big picture since So just a 43 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: few things before we get going. As we said, the 44 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: Colts are going to play the traditional six games against 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: the AFC South home and away. They'll play crossover games 46 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: against third place teams from the AFC West, so the 47 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: Raiders there the NFC West, that's the Rams. That's the 48 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: seventeenth game, as well as a road game against the 49 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: third place team in the AFC East that's the Patriots. 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: And we found out earlier this week JJ that game 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: is in Germany. Hyped that up a little bit. That 52 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be November twelfth. That equates to Week ten, 53 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: first ever game for the Colts in Germany, first ever 54 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: time the Colts, or i should say the NFL plays 55 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a game in Frankfurt. The site of that game. They 56 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: go back to back Week nine, who is at the 57 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins and Dolphins Chiefs ye. And then a week later, 58 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: Week ten Colts and Patriots. 59 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: Yes, both those games at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany, 60 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: home of untracked Frankfurt, a German Bundesliga soccer team. OK 61 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: now we know, now you know, I've got plenty of 62 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: fun facts about Frankfurt, Germany that no one is going 63 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: to be interested in. But this is mate is exciting. 64 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: I mean, the Colts haven't played internationally since twenty sixteen. 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: Those their only regular season international game in franchise history. 66 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: They played outside the US three times in preseason if 67 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: you remember, yep, two thousand in Mexico City, two thousand 68 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: and five in Tokyo, and then twenty ten in Toronto. 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: I'm was so excited to see what the crowd looks 70 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: like in this game because last year, you remember that 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: Bucks Seahawks game at Alean's Arena in Munich, that crowd 72 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: was awesome. Yeah, that was like I mean that, I 73 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: think there is a lot of untapped potential for the 74 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: NFL to grow in Germany and how cool is it 75 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: going to be for the Colts to be a part 76 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: of that in these early stages going to you know, 77 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: facing Bill Belichick, maybe it's Anthony Richardson starting that game. 78 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: That that's going to be a really really fun experience 79 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: to get over to Germany. 80 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: I've just heard from a lot of people like already 81 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: booking that trip and making their vacation you know, centered 82 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: around the Colts. And I mean, when are you ever 83 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: going to go to Germany? Now you have an excuse. 84 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: Now you can you know, kill two birds with one stone, 85 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: so to speak. So again, that game is coming up 86 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: in mid November, Patriots game. It's a Patriots home game, 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: so not a Colts home game, right, you don't have 88 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to give up one of your Lucas Oil Stadium afternoons, And. 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: Eventually the Colts will have to do that. The Colts 90 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: will have a home game played internationally beginning in a 91 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: believe twenty twenty two, the NFL mandated that every team 92 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: in the league has to play one home game internationally 93 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: every eight years. 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that hasn't happened yet. 95 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: The Colts have not given up a home game to 96 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: play internationally, so that means that could be happening soon. 97 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: It wouldn't happen next year. The NFL schedules it out, 98 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: so the teams that have nine home games they give 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: up one of those to play internationally. So it rotates 100 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: between the AFC in odd years and the NFC in 101 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: even years. But that could be coming again. We could 102 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: be going overseas again soon, yeah. 103 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: Without doubt. All right, So some other nuggets here before 104 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: we get into the nitty gritty again. The Colts, based 105 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: on their opponents from last year, the Colts are going 106 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: to play only five games this upcoming season against playoff 107 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: teams from a year ago. One of those teams is 108 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,559 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts will play them twice. Also, 109 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: the Colts have the fourth easiest schedule in twenty twenty 110 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: three based on winning percentage from their opponents from last year. 111 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: The Colts are gonna play twelve games against teams that 112 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: finished under five hundred in twenty twenty two. But we 113 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: all know what we're gonna say, right, this is the NFL. 114 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: Every team's pretty good top to bottom. And I'll just 115 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: say this. The average margin of victory in a game 116 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: last season across the board in the NFL in twenty 117 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: twenty two and the regular season was nine point seven points. 118 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: That's the league's lowest for a full season since nineteen 119 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: thirty two. So all these games come down to the 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The NFL set a record for games decided 121 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: by eight points or fewer last year with one hundred 122 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: and fifty six. So take the easy schedule, take all 123 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: of the opponents that finished under five hundred with a 124 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: little bit of a grain of salt, because jj as 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: we know we're gonna get to November, we're gonna get 126 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: to December to say, hey, the Falcons are pretty good, 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: or this team who we didn't think was gonna all 128 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: be in the playoff pickture going into this season, all 129 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're in the mix. 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: The thing that I'm really interested in is who are 131 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: the starting quarterbacks in these games? Specifically Week two at Houston? 132 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: Is that CJ. Stroud? Is he going to start immediately 133 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: in Week nine Carolina on the road? Is that Bryce Young? 134 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Right? 135 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: I pulled up some numbers on this. Over the last 136 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: since twenty eleven, when the NFL adopted the rookie wage scale, 137 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: there's only been one quarterback drafted with the first or 138 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: second overall pick to start fewer than half his team's games. 139 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: Those Jared Goff in twenty sixteen. Most of those guys, 140 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 2: you know, you think about the Cam Newton's, Jameis Winston, 141 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz, those guys, they all started the whole season, 142 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: or they would have started the whole season in the 143 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: case of the guy like Joe Burrow had he not 144 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: got hurt. So more than likely you're probably gonna see c. J. 145 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: Stroud maybe twice at least once. I would think he'll 146 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: probably be on the field in Week eighteen when the 147 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 2: Colts finish out the season against the Texans, and then 148 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: you would anticipate Bryce Young to be the starter in 149 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: Week nine in Carolina. The question then becomes is Anthony 150 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Richardson starting those games? 151 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 152 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: And that is more of an unknown here in Indianapolis. 153 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: Yep, we'll find out again by the way veterans and 154 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: rookies intermixing starting on Monday during the offseason workout program. 155 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: So let's go and order at the top. Week one Jaguars. 156 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: The Colts, of course playing Jacksonville for the second time 157 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: in three years in Week one, although this time it's 158 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: a home game for the Colts. In Week one, of course, 159 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Jacksonville won the AFC South Last year at Houston. In 160 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: Week two they were three and thirteen. Last year at 161 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore in Week three they were ten and seven May 162 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: the AFC playoffs. Week four the Rams who were five 163 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: and twelve. So that's the first quarter of the season, 164 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: if you will, JJ, So what's the likelihood there the 165 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: Colts can finally get off to a good store to 166 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: the season. Because the Colts, as we all know, they 167 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: haven't won a season opener since twenty thirteen, and they 168 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: are seven twelve and one record wise in the month 169 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: of September dating back to twenty seventeen. Is this the 170 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: year the Colts finally get off to a good. 171 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: Start, well based on the opponent to open the season, 172 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: the Jaguars coming into the season, they are the strongest 173 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: opponent the Colts will face at home, and they start 174 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: them with the home opener, so that, you know, if 175 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: you're a pessimist, just say, oh well, maybe it'll be 176 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: another year. But Week one is often just all over 177 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: the place. I mean, the Jaguars, what was it three 178 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: years ago the only game they won was Gardner Minshew 179 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: picking apart the Colts in Week one, So you know, 180 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: you never know what those things. I want to kind 181 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: of expand this may tata the first six games, so 182 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: you listed off those first four Jacksonville, Houston, Baltimore, LA. 183 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: Than Tennessee and Jacksonville. The NFL schedule makers did it 184 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: again last year. The Colts opened with five of their 185 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: AFC South games in the first seven weeks of the season. 186 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: This year it's four AFC South games in the first 187 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: six weeks of the season. And last year the Colts 188 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 2: went one, three and one in those AFC South games. 189 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: It largely put them behind the eight ball. You know, 190 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: obviously things fall apart in the second half. 191 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: Of the season. Argue that the season was. It was 192 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: an uphill back right before really it really began. 193 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: Right when when you start off with a one three 194 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: and one record and you literally cannot be five hundred 195 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: in your division before the halfway point of the season, 196 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: it's really hard to be a contender. And the Colts 197 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: are if they're going to be a contender this year, 198 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: they're going to have to get out to a strong start, 199 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: which again has not been an m of this team. Now, 200 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 2: new coaching staff is in here, Shane Steichen's here, he 201 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: got some new blood on this team. Maybe that turns 202 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: around this year. And if the Colts do have any 203 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: you know, visions of contending in the AFC South. Look, 204 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: you got Jacksonville twice, they're the team to beat now 205 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 2: in this division. You got you got to take care 206 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: of them to start off the season. You got Tennessee 207 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 2: in there, you got Houston in there. There's some business 208 00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: to be taken care of for this team and the 209 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: for six weeks of the season, because again, if not, 210 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: you go one in three, zero to four, I guess one, 211 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: two and one. That's gonna be tough to overcome. 212 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: That, right. Yeah, By the way, the Colts have they 213 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: have lost eleven of their last thirteen season openers, two 214 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: of the first three games against teams that made the 215 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: playoffs last year at Jacksonville, then at Houston and Baltimore. 216 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: As we said, they were postseason bound. In twenty twenty two, 217 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: Colts are gonna open at home for just the fourth 218 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: time in the last nine years, first home opener since 219 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and as you said, JJ, two AFC 220 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: South games right off the bat, second straight year the 221 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: Colts have had to experience that before last season. I 222 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: dug this up before last season. The last time the 223 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Colts had two division games to start the season was 224 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, and here they've had that in 225 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: back to back season. So definitely a priority for the 226 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Colts to try to get off to a good start 227 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: that has eluded them certainly in years past. All right, 228 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about hardest of the season. Is there a 229 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: point on that schedule that is more difficult than others? 230 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: Maybe a four or five game stretch on that slate. 231 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 2: You know, because you're talking about the strength of schedule 232 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: being relatively easy, It's like you look at it on 233 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: paper and I'm kind of squinting of like I don't know, 234 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: but I think I might. 235 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: I think it might be those first four games, the 236 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: Urgency and Jacksonville up there, and the quarterbacks that you 237 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: can potentially face with Lawrence Stroud, jack Jackson and Stafford. 238 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: Right, and then you throw Tennessee in there. I mean, yeah, 239 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 2: you know Ryan Tannehill. 240 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Having top Tennessee and five consecutive games. 241 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the other one you could look at 242 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: would be the and I know there's a bye week 243 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: in the middle, but Carolina, New England bye week, Tampa 244 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: Tennessee just because three of those four games are on 245 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 2: the road and you're gonna face, especially in New England 246 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: and Tennessee, two pretty good defenses there. You know, Carolina's 247 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: got some guys, Tampa's obviously got some guys on defense. 248 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: No disrespect to either of them, but that you know 249 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: that stretch there, Yeah, Cincinnati coming in right after that, 250 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: that Cincinnati. If you're just looking at this based off 251 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: a last that's your hardest game of the year, right, 252 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: going to Cincinnati on December tenth and week fourteen. But 253 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 2: here the thing is, we can we can talk about 254 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: this now, but we might get into the season. We 255 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: might get to week ten and be like man you 256 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: know that week, that week three to six stretch where 257 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: it was Baltimore, La, Tennessee, Jacksonville, that was really that 258 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: was a. 259 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: Gauntlet, and all those teams are rolling by then, right 260 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, later in the season. 261 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: So you never know, I mean even it wouldn't shock 262 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: me if the last four or five games of the 263 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: year are the toughest part of the schedule at Cincinnati 264 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: versus Pittsburgh team that's always given the Colts problems. You 265 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: go to Atlanta, you know, we'll see what their situation 266 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: is like with Desmond Ritter is their quarterback, but all 267 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: those skill position players they have in Atlanta, they are 268 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: low on that side of the ball. The Raiders come in, 269 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: you know, who knows what they look like at that 270 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: point in the season. And then Houston a team that 271 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: did add a lot of talent this offseason. So you 272 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: can kind of pick and choose anything you want here. 273 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: You know, Cleveland could be better, New Orleans could be 274 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: better than last year in weeks seven and eight. Yep, 275 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 2: it is going to be a really interesting season to 276 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: see how this all plays out. With a lot of 277 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: opponents who we have questions about but certainly have some talent. 278 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, I think going on 279 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: the road and back to back weeks weeks thirteen and 280 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: fourteen at Tennessee at Cincinnati, first time the Colts will 281 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: play Joe Burrow on the road, first time they're in 282 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: Cincinnati as a franchise since twenty seventeen. I think that's 283 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: a big barometer type of a portion of the schedule, 284 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: right just because of what Tennessee has represented, the roadblock 285 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: that they have presented to the Colts. And then at 286 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati for obvious reasons, because they're one of the best 287 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: teams in the AFC and they do have foundation at 288 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Pittsburgh, the Colts have lost eight straight 289 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: games to the Steelers, their longest losing streak to any 290 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: NFL opponent currently. Last time the Colts beat the Steelers 291 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: at home two thousand and five at the RCA Dome, 292 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: So hopefully they can get that done. Then Week sixteen 293 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: at Atlanta. Week seventeen, the Raiders come into town, and 294 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: then at Houston. Excuse me, Houston comes to Lucas Oil Stadium. 295 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: Week eighteen, Colts wrapping up against the Texans at home 296 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: for the second straight season. Another thing, another storyline that 297 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: jumps off the page when you look at this schedule, 298 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: JJ primetime games or lack thereof no primetime games on 299 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: this schedule. The last time the Colts went an entire 300 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: season without a single night game was nineteen ninety nine, 301 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: coming off that three to thirteen season in nineteen ninety eight, 302 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: which was Peyton Manning's rookie season. Now they have a 303 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: chance to maybe rectify that with some flex scheduling later 304 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: in the season, but as of right now, JJ, not 305 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: even a Thursday night game. How surprised are you by that? 306 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: I said it on the podcast on the Official Colts 307 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: podcast on Tuesday, that I thought this was going to happen, 308 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: So I guess I'm not surprised. I got to stick 309 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: by my take. You earn primetime games by what you 310 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: did the season prior, and. 311 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: We should also we should also say that not every 312 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: team now by NFL rule, has to play on Thursday 313 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: night because multiple teams, or I should say teams can't 314 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: appear on Thursday Night. 315 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: Multiple time, like I believe the Packers have a couple 316 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: of Thursday night games. Now, it's that that part of 317 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: the schedule is you know, hey, you got to go 318 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: earn it yeah, and the Colts will have opportunities to 319 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: earn primetime games. That Week fifteen game against Pittsburgh is TBD. 320 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: If that game has playoff implications, the NFL would probably 321 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: put that on a standalone window. Like two years ago, 322 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: Colton Patriots were TBD in Week fifteen, they wound up 323 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: playing at eight o'clock on NFL network in primetime, So 324 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: that could be a game, you know, Week eighteen, if 325 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: that game against Houston carries playoff implications, that could be 326 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: a flex. But the other thing the NFL, it's not 327 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: just Sunday night games they can flex anymore. They can 328 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: flex Monday night games. So between weeks, starting in week five, 329 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: the NFL can start flexing games into Sunday night. Starting 330 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: in week thirteen, the NFL can begin flexing games into 331 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: Monday night. So if you look at it and all 332 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: of a sudden, Week fourteen, that game again Cincinnati is 333 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: a huge game. That could be a Monday night football game, 334 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: that could be a Sunday night football game. The Colts 335 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: are gonna have to earn it though, That's what it 336 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: comes down to. And you know, these players love playing 337 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: in primetime. But when you go four to twelve and 338 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: one the year prior. It's tough to get those. 339 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: Stops know who the quarterback is going to be, right, 340 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: I think let's take a TV windows. It's a woll 341 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: about quarterback matchup right. 342 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: The NFL would probably love to have a Bryce Young 343 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 2: versus Anthony Richardson game in primetime, But we don't know 344 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: if Anthony Richardson is going to play. We don't know 345 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: if Brice Young is gonna play, because those guys, you know, 346 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: it's too early to tell. So you the NFL, I mean, 347 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: the only game, the only games the Colts have that 348 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: are not at one o'clock are weeknight against Carolina at 349 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: four or five pm, which, by the way, that's not 350 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 2: a national window that usually that's the four to twenty 351 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: five game. And then the only time the Colts are 352 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 2: in a standalone window is the game against the Patriots 353 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: in Frankfurt at nine thirty am on NFL network. So 354 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: wake up early that morning, maybe maybe what what would 355 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: be a good morning beer to drink for our listeners. 356 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't know is there such a Is there a 357 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: bad morning beer? 358 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: I guess yeah, it's a good point. I like I 359 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: look at good guinness in the morning sometimes you know, 360 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 2: I'm having a fun on Saint Patrick's Day, but like, 361 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: that's not a German beer. Yeah, gotta get our listeners 362 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: in Germany. 363 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Intel Unfortunately, you know it's it's the opposite of primetime. 364 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: It's a standalone window. Yes, but I mean you're talking 365 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: nine to thirty Eastern time in Indianapolis, but then the 366 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: West Coast, you gotta get up at six thirty in 367 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: the morning to watch those. Remember last year the Colts 368 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: played in Vegas and there was football on at like 369 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: that was incredible, seven thirty in the morning getting ready. 370 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: It was great. Yeah, that was great. 371 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: I woke up and just put on I think I 372 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: think that was the Seahawks Bucks game. 373 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great game. Think it was London game? 374 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: Was it not? 375 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: Or was that the London game? I can't remember whatever 376 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: it was. I just remember the game where they tried 377 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 2: Leondard Fournette through the pass to Tom Brady that got 378 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: picked off because he got bodied up by a cornerback. 379 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: So we've broke this down a handful of different ways 380 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: to close out here, JJ, what is what's your most 381 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: anticipated game of the season. Again, from a sexiniest standpoint, 382 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: not a ton of great quarterbacks coming into Lucas Oil Stadium, 383 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: a lot of teams that were down last year. The 384 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: one o'clock window is going to be your best friend. 385 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: If you love you know, if you're a fan of 386 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: routine and you love to be home for dinner and 387 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: get your football fixed out of the way early, this 388 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: is the schedule for you. There's no doubt about that. Also, 389 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: by the way, outside of the Germany trip, the Colts 390 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: will go to the Central time Zone just twice all season. 391 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: That's all the credible, that's all the further west they're 392 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: going to have to travel for a football game. Their 393 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: longest road trip in the continental United States is Houston. 394 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: It's truly a dream schedule if you don't like to 395 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: stay up late and you don't like to travel far. 396 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: I mean, this is what a lot of games that 397 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: are easy to get to. Cincinnati, Tennessee. You could drive 398 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 2: to either of those. Charlotte's an easy place to get 399 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 2: to from Indianapolis, Ye, Baltimore. A lot of a lot 400 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: of good opportunities for Colts fans to hit the road. 401 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: Atlanta obviously if you want to do a Christmas down 402 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: south potentially. 403 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: And it's a new stadium, for the Colts haven't played that. 404 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: That is that'll be the seventy sixth stadium, different stadium 405 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: the Colts have played in. 406 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: I saw that article. Well done by you, a geek 407 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: out on that stuff like you. 408 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: Okay, So most anticipated game. I kind of think it's 409 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: Week eighteen against Houston because I would if I had 410 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: to guess. By then, Anthony Richardson and c. J. Stroud 411 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 2: will have started multiple games for their team minimum and 412 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: that is always going to be a storyline going forward. 413 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: Is c J. 414 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: Stroud and Anthony Richardson in this division two quarterbacks picked 415 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: in the top four. The Texans went with Stroud, the 416 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 2: Colts went with richard And who's going to wind up 417 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 2: being the better player out of those two? That's going 418 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 2: to determine what direction the Colts and the Texans go 419 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: in probably the next five ten years, no doubt. So 420 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: even though that game is Week eighteen, based off record 421 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: last year, you might not expect that game to carry 422 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: playoff implications. 423 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: I think it will though I think it will could. 424 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: It absolutely could. 425 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: It will certainly mean more to the season this year 426 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: than it did last. 427 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 2: Year baseline, even if it doesn't. As long as Stroud 428 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 2: and Richardson are on the field. I'm at that game, 429 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: Like I mean, obviously I'm at that game, but I 430 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: am getting tickets to that game because that is going 431 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: to be a battle you're going to watch in this 432 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: division for years to come, hopefully for decades to come. 433 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: And the narrative around that game, regardless of the implications 434 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: of playoff, whatever, draft pick, whatever, It's going to be 435 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: Stroud versus Richardson, and that is going to be fun 436 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: to see. 437 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, just from a personal standpoint, really looking forward to 438 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: going to Carolina right the you know, sharing the same 439 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: field as Frank Reich, Shansteike and Frank Reich, that whole 440 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: head coach connection, that's pretty obvious. Bryce Young, is he 441 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: going to be the starter? Love the Germany game. Love 442 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: the fact that Colts don't have to go to Foxborough 443 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: considering their lack of success over the course of time there. 444 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: But that's always a fun place to play. But obviously 445 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: just the uniqueness of going to Germany is going to 446 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: be incredibly exciting. And then that Bengals game, just because, 447 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, it's a barometer game. Where are 448 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: you how far away are you against one of the 449 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: best teams in the AFC that has been able to 450 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: figure out figure it out, I should say in the 451 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: last two years en route to the AFC Championship Game 452 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: in one of those years to the Super Bowl. Did 453 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: we miss anything JJ any other miscellaneous takeaways from the 454 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: schedule that we may have missed. 455 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: A couple of just interesting setup. That the Colts play 456 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 2: back to back home games three times and back to 457 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: back road games three times, so it's not as staggered 458 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: sometimes as you see. But you know, weeks two and three, 459 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: year on the road, weeks four and five, year at home, 460 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: weeks seven and eight, year at home, weeks nine and ten, 461 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: yure on the road, weeks thirteen and fourteen, year on 462 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: the road, in weeks seventeen and eighteen, year at home. 463 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: It's about all I got. 464 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to do the three straight home, 465 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: three straight on the road, which is really really hard. 466 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: Was a rough Yeah, yeah, Coults have had those in 467 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: the past. So all right, that'll do it for this 468 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: episode of overtime OT on the twenty twenty three Colt schedule.
