1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Official Colts Podcast. I'm Jeffrey Gorman. Joined

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Weekend and Week Out by Miss Lera Overton JJ Stanker.

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: It's both from with the Colts, covering this team.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: In the locker room and on the field.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna get you caught up with the latest this

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: off season.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: All that kind of hurts to say a little bit.

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: This off season that we're in right now, obviously disappointed

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: and a lot to go over, and we will over

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: the course of the next couple months getting ready for

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: training camp. But a lot to do and a lot

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: to get to. But I brought the two best minds

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: in here for a reason. There are storylines that are

14
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: around this football team this off season. You know, we

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: got to start with right at the top. Chris Ballard

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: had a scheduled press conference for this past Wednesday and

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: that has been postponed and we're still waiting for the

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: new date on that, and we'll dissect what the general

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: manager had to say in his season ending press conference.

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: But a lot to go over up until then, and guys,

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: I want to start off with storyline. Storyline, storyline storylines.

22
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: One of the biggest ones this offseason and his Gus Bradley,

23
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: who's been here for a minute or two, and he was.

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Relieved of his duties.

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Not relieved of his duties, but I think that was

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: a contract that ended running up and and the Colts

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: decided to go into a different direction. I want to

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: start there when we talk about off season storylines, Lara.

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: Let me start with you.

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Is it a similar scheme this new defensive coordinator that

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: comes in in your opinion, you've watched what they've done

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: the last three four years with under Gus Bradley and whatnot.

33
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Does the scheme stay the same with the new DC?

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: I think that you'll have a you know, new person

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: come in that will probably instill, you know, his system,

37
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: implement exactly, you know, a different look, a different vantage

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: point you know, with with who he has. And then

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 4: I also think that you'll probably have someone who comes

40
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 4: in and has a voice in terms of weighing in

41
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: on some additions that he wants to see made from

42
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: a personnel standpoint.

43
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I think the I think Lara's right. If you were

44
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to run it back with kind of the same scheme,

45
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Rush Rush, well, yeah, I mean I think maybe you know,

46
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: having someone different pulling the strings does lead to different results.

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to discount that, but you know that

48
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: the Colts were what twenty fourth, twenty eighth, and twenty

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: eighth in points allowed over the last three years, and

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, I do wonder ultimately if you do get

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: someone who is a little bit more aggressive in the

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: amount of blitzes that you send that is not that

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: is obviously not as staple of how Gus Bradley plays,

54
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: And that's okay. That defense does work for some teams.

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: It's not. Blitzing is not some like panacea or it's

56
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: like you do it and you're going to be successful.

57
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: But maybe a dea dial gets turned up a little bit,

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: maybe you still see a little bit more in terms

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: of two high coverages instead of the single high that

60
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley primarily favored. But regardless of who the defensive

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: coordinator is, the thing that has to get fixed. The

62
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Colts this year tackling missed one hundred and seventy tackles.

63
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: That's the fourth most in the NFL according to Pro

64
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: Football Focus. Gus Bradley wasn't out there missing those tackles.

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: The next defensive coordinator is not going to be out

66
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: there making tackles, missing tackles. He's gonna put guys in position,

67
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: but that has to be short up. You are not

68
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: going to be a successful defense missing that many tackles in,

69
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: you know. And the other part of it too is

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: it's not just the miss tackles, but then it's the rallying.

71
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: That's what Zire Franklin talked about. Guys are gonna make

72
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: you miss, but you've got to have the other ten

73
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: guys on the field rallying to the ball to bring

74
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: that guy down to make sure those mistackles don't lead

75
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to forty yards and gains.

76
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: To your point, JJ, I think something that even before

77
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: the new defensive coordinator comes in and you know, breaks

78
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: open the playbook and starts, you know, teaching his defense,

79
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: I think you've got to start even you know, at

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: a more ground level where you got to get these.

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: Guys on the same page.

82
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were so many instances of miscommunication, guys not

83
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: trusting each other, guys being out of position to allow

84
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: explosive plays.

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: So I think that, you know, I'm not saying that

86
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: you have to do like.

87
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: A kumbaya or you know, what are the equivalents like

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: an off site meeting when you're like a team bond,

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: do you do like a retreat right like that?

90
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: A retreat down there, you know exactly I'm going to

91
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: go to.

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: Go over there and do it golf course, But yeah,

93
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: I do.

94
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: I like, really think that this new defensive coordinator needs

95
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: to get all of the returning guys together and start

96
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: working on just some very like fundamental things and figure

97
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: out the dysfunction that we saw in so many situations

98
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: in the twenty four season.

99
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: Defense is such an eleven is one type of a

100
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: thing that if you don't have everyone pulling toward the

101
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: same thing, communicating like you mentioned, Lara, and being on

102
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: the same page when it comes to coverages and rotations

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, it is going to be hard

104
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: to be successful year to year. So that I think

105
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you're right. I think that's probably the baseline of what

106
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: the new coordinator will do.

107
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 4: And going back to something we heard from DeForest Buckner

108
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 4: on Monday locker clean out day, he talked about, you know,

109
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: the need for more competition, you know it where he

110
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: felt like that people had been very complainte And I

111
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 4: think that it's going to be a group that is

112
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: going to embrace, you know, having a challenge of okay,

113
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 4: you know, probably going to maybe bring some people in,

114
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: whether that's in free agency, you know, make additions, obviously,

115
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: make additions in the draft, however they decide to, you know,

116
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: kind of reinforce that group. But I think that this

117
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: group is going to embrace.

118
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 3: That challenge of having a new defense.

119
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: It's probably kind of what a lot of these guys

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: who have been here for a while maybe what they

121
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: need to feel like, Okay, this is something that is

122
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: going to put us in the position where we're going

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: to be successful. These are the things that you know,

124
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: you need people to be a little bit uncomfortable, I

125
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 4: think going into you know, next season, in order to

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: remedy the issues that you've met.

127
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: I do think defense is one of those things that

128
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: can turn around pretty quickly that if you get the

129
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: right person in there and you get the right kind

130
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: of cohesiveness in that unit, you can wind up. You know,

131
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: you have to have talent, and I think the Colts

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: have talent, but you can go from being a bottom

133
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: ten defense to a top ten defense pretty quickly.

134
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: But the right I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm confused,

135
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: can can the same system, rush for stay in zone

136
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the time, play with your nickel corner.

137
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 2: Can that same system work where you do get results?

138
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: You're nine all right, right, Here's where it would have

139
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: to work is you would have to get that level

140
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: of cohesiveness that Lara was talking about where you don't

141
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: have busts, you don't have guys you know, in the

142
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: wrong spot leading to explosive plays, and you have to

143
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: tackle better. Those are two things that no matter if

144
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: you're playing, you got wink Martindale send in the house

145
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: on every player, Gus Bradley dropping back with you know

146
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: seven in coverage it whatever it is. You got to

147
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: tackle and you got to play assignment assignments sound football.

148
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: Those two things. Okay, guys, it's brief.

149
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: It's The interview list is going to be long for

150
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator. But a couple of names were men

151
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: and early. Just give me your quick shots on lou

152
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: excuse me, help me on this one. Lou Anarumo right

153
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: from Cincinnati who was let go earlier. And also Steve

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: Wilkes who's been around for a while and had success.

155
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: Your quick thoughts on these guys who are interviewing for

156
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: the DC position.

157
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: I mean obviously, I mean look at what Ana Roumo did.

158
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: You know, obviously he kind of this last season didn't

159
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: have i think the standard to which that they had

160
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: previously played. However, I mean, just look at Trey Hendrickson alone,

161
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: you know, in this season that he had, I think

162
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: collectively as a group, there were obviously some struggles there

163
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 4: that led them to you know, part ways. But I

164
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: also don't think the way that the season ended for

165
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is squarely on his shoulders either. But but yeah,

166
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 4: I think that when you look at I mean, look

167
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 4: at what the Bengals did to the Colts in twenty

168
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: twenty three, right, like, we were front and center to

169
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: see that defense, you know, go to work against Gardner

170
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: Minshew and the offense back then.

171
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm not having any like specific thoughts on it.

172
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: I think these are two guys who I would expect

173
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: you're going to get a lot of looks for DC

174
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: around the league. Steve Wilkson twenty twenty three. When he

175
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: was San Francisco's defensive coordinator, they were they were top

176
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: ten in points, top ten in yards, top ten and

177
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: takeaways like that. That was a they had a really

178
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: good run defense. You know, he seemed to be pulling

179
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: the strings pretty good there in San Francisco, went to Carolina,

180
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: did an interim there. He was the interim there in Carolina.

181
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, longtime NFL guy. He was defensive backs for

182
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: the Bears when they made the Super Bowl, working under

183
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, Glovey Smiths, who kind of has that background

184
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: which is similar ish to the Matt Eberflus defense. Now

185
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: he's added some tweaks, certainly, but he might be maybe

186
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: a little more in terms of the continuity and Rumo

187
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: another guy Rushes four, but he he's kind of has

188
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: a history of like being really varied in the coverages

189
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: that he plays. Yeah, since Cincinnati was top fifteen or

190
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: top half of the league in blitzes this year. But

191
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you gotta have the personnel to

192
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: do it too, so you know, he would have to

193
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: come in and evaluate to have that here. But I

194
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: think I think those are two guys who you know

195
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: that it's been reported there on the Colts list. I

196
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see those guys be on a lot

197
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: of teams lists, especially as you start getting into this. Okay,

198
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: maybe see you have some new head coaches who are

199
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: hired some first timers who want that experienced DC. You know,

200
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: those guys could get looks for like Chicago as well. Yeah,

201
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: you know in that vein for sure, all right.

202
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: That want to thank everybody who's watching on the YouTube

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: as well as listening in on the Colts Audio network.

204
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: A lot to go over, obviously, with with the offseason

205
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: approaching and it is playoff time, we'll touch on that

206
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: a little bit. We're not in it this year, but

207
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: we're gonna enjoy it this year and be sure to

208
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: follow both of these both of these men and women.

209
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry about why was that hard both of

210
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: these wonderful NFL reporters at JJ Stakamit's on Twitter x

211
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: at Larra Overton as well. Moving on to storyline number two, folks,

212
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: let's switch to the quarterback position and let me go

213
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: over some things ar this off season, Okay, this off season?

214
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: How does he get better?

215
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 2: Specifically, when we're talking about throwing the football and upping

216
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: that completion percentage.

217
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: I think it starts with those those like shorten intermediate

218
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: throws that we've talked about quite a bit, especially the

219
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: ones that are outside the numbers where it's not just

220
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, you can zip it over the middle.

221
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Those are where I think you need to see Richardson

222
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: make some growth. He's got to get more on the

223
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: same page with his receivers there as well, and the

224
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: receivers need to get more on the same page with him.

225
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a collective thing there, but

226
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: that would probably be where I would start. I think

227
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: you kind of like you take a step back on

228
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Anthony's game, and he's a really talented deep ball thrower.

229
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: We know that he's obviously a very good runner of

230
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: the football. Those are things that you can build around

231
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: because the way that Anthony I looked this up yesterday,

232
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: when teams played light boxes against the Colts, so six

233
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: or fewer defenders in the box, Anthony averaged seven point

234
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: eight yards per rushing attempt, which is the second highest

235
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: against light boxes in the NFL, behind only Josh Allen.

236
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: So essentially, if you're if you're like, we're going to

237
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: play back a little bit to try to prevent those

238
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: deep shots, he's going to gas you with his legs.

239
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: That's a really good thing to start. And if you're

240
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: going to play up a little bit, you got press

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: coverage and no safety help over the top. That ball

242
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: is going to number fourteen down the field. So those

243
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: are things you can build around, but you still have

244
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: to be efficient down to down with the short stuff,

245
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: with your immediate stuff you need to throw on third

246
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: and seven, you got to be able to make it.

247
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: We've seen him, We saw him do that a couple times,

248
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: but not consistently enough. I think. So that's probably the

249
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: starting point. If he can up that completion percentage. We

250
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: don't need him to be you know, Joe Burrow out

251
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: here completing seventy percent of his passes on those throws.

252
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: But you get it up to a point where it

253
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: can be a sustainable part of your offense, a workable

254
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: part of your offense that I think will raise the

255
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: level of everything else that then he can do on

256
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: the field for sure.

257
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: I'm really curious too, I mean, just how long this

258
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: you know we're covering from the back injury is or

259
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: you know, the back issue that he's dealing with is

260
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: going to linger into his off season.

261
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Said he thought it would be would be one percent

262
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: pretty quick.

263
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, because obviously like a few weeks ago, it was, Oh,

264
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I could need surgery at some point.

265
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: So that is to me, he intimated he does not

266
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: need a surgery.

267
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: Great, So getting a little bit of clarity I think

268
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: from that standpoint helps immenseally. JJ the point that you

269
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: made just getting on the same page with receivers, that's

270
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: really where I am is utilizing this time to get

271
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 4: with your pass catchers, get with guys on the rest

272
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 4: of the offense, and make sure that you're taking advantage

273
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: of the time that you have aligning with those guys,

274
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: figuring out how you can be better, figuring out, you know,

275
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: where they can put themselves in better position to help

276
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: you all of those different things. And then two, just

277
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: getting clarity on maybe what the expectation is. Something that

278
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: I talked with Shane Steichen about this week is accountability

279
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: and how significant the peer to peer accountability will be

280
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: for this group.

281
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Moving into the off season.

282
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: So I think that this entirety of the offense really

283
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 4: needs to have like clear expectations on that of what

284
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: we expect from one another. And I think that that's

285
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: going to be a significant part of the entire growth

286
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: of the offense, you know, especially with having you know,

287
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: a young guy like an ad Mitchell, you know, how

288
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: are you using the vets who are around you to

289
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: continue to grow and develop. And I think that something

290
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: I learned this year from Alec Pearce was just how

291
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 4: much he prides himself on, you know, consistency, and it

292
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 4: took a long time.

293
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: For that to show up, right.

294
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: It took this season to where you really saw that go,

295
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: you know, put on display and really well utilized.

296
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: So you want to see those.

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 4: You know, the consistent approach, consistent habits for.

298
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: Every person you know within that operation.

299
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 4: So I look forward to because Anthony's such a great teammate,

300
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: like he is very very team oriented, and I think

301
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 4: that for him to have that, I think he can

302
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: be really isolating for the quarterback because so often you're

303
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: you do this individualized training and you're off on an

304
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: island to some degree, right, you go when you work specifically,

305
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: probably with a quarterback coach, and you'll you know, have

306
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: guys come in at various points, but for the most part,

307
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 4: it can be such a lonely period.

308
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: Right.

309
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: So Anthony obviously go back to Florida and have some time.

310
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: He usually goes to Jacksonville, has time with family, does

311
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: all of that. But I think that the more time

312
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: that he can spend surrounding himself with teammates and continuing

313
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: to just grow as a group, like find more. You know,

314
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 4: continuity is going to be a great benefit to everybody.

315
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: There's one other thing, and this isn't something he's necessarily

316
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: going to like fix with certain things this offseason, but

317
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: it does need to get better. So I just looked

318
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: up his numbers when he was under pressure but he

319
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: was not hit. Oh, because you take away some of

320
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: those plays where he was under pressure and he got

321
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: hit and he makes you know, he throws the ball away,

322
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: he's able to get it, get it away, he avoids

323
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: a sack. Taking those plays out of it. Anthony Richardson

324
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: this year, he was pressured but not hit on eighty

325
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: seven dropbacks. He completed twenty four to sixty three passes

326
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: on those for one touchdowns with six interceptions, and he'd

327
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: a passer rating of twenty three point five. That needs

328
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: to get better again, You're not talking about him having

329
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: a passer rating over one hundred when he's under pressure,

330
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: but that is that is tough. Like essentially, all you

331
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: gotta do is just you get pressure on Anthony and

332
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: bad stuff happens for the Colts offense, you know, and

333
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: even he's good at evating sacks. That is a plus

334
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: of his game. But when he throws the ball in

335
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: those situations you got to see, you know, is completing

336
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of those passes. That's lowest in the NFL.

337
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: That number needs to come up a little bit. Now.

338
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: The context here is that his average depth of target

339
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: on those plays was fifteen point one yards downfield, which

340
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: is the second highest in the NFL. So, like, these

341
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: aren't high completion you know, high you know, high completion

342
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: percentage passes. But if he can get that maybe that

343
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: number down, that a dot down, the completion percentage up,

344
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: that'll just help him be a more sustainable quarterback game

345
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: to game. Can that happen in one off season? Yeah?

346
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean can I think with more experience, Like yeah,

347
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: with he's got he's got the experience now of you know,

348
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: he played thirteen games this year. Obviously, you know, he

349
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: wished he could have played more. But I'm interested now,

350
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,359
Speaker 1: especially if he is able to go into this offseason

351
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: healthier certainly than he was last year. I think we

352
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: can say that no matter what, but hopefully as healthy

353
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: as he's you know, he can possibly be. I do

354
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: think you can see that that growth and that jump,

355
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's got to happen otherwise. You know, if

356
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: you're in for another year like he had this year,

357
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: you're probably not in for reaching the goals that you

358
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: want to reach in twenty twenty five as a player

359
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: and as a team.

360
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: We're going over the storylines of the off season, touching

361
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: on a lot of different things, what the Colts are

362
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: going to be looking for, hopefully getting you guys in

363
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: front of that. I want to stay there though, Guys.

364
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: We're going next to free agency, but I'm going to

365
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: dovetail the quarterback situation that we just talked about into

366
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: free agency. Lara, starting with you, will there be a

367
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: veteran quarterback other than Joe Flacco in the camp this year.

368
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: In your eyes?

369
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: And will there be an open competition at the quarterback position?

370
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

371
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I truly have.

372
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: I do not know.

373
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: I think I think that is definitely like that. I

374
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: don't think we know that like back in the front

375
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: office and the coaching staff. That's something I'm sure they

376
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: are going to be talking about and evaluating over the

377
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks and over the next couple of months.

378
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: But Anthony Richardson, I'll give him credit, he said he

379
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: would welcome that. He said that, you know that if

380
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: they bring someone in to compete, I'm an actual competitor,

381
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: I'll go compete. If they don't, I'm still going to

382
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: compete at the same level. I thought the answer he

383
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: gave when he was asked about that directly hit all

384
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: the right notes that you wanted to hear. Okay quarterback

385
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: aside really quickly.

386
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: I think he showed that early in his rookie season

387
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 4: when he was competing against Gardner. Like it wasn't an

388
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 4: incredibly long period of time, right, but over the course

389
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: of training camp, he did feel like that he you know,

390
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: thrived with that dynamic. Now it's a little bit different now,

391
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: you know, he's the end of his career. But I

392
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: do think that you saw the benefit to it at

393
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 4: that point. And also, you know, his openness is willingness,

394
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: you know, to to have that dynamic in the quarterback.

395
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: On the point about hitting the free agent market harder, though.

396
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: I think hold on, let me let me set that. Yeah, yeah,

397
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: here's why I'm bringing this up.

398
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: Guys.

399
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: Last year we saw what Chris Baller did in the

400
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: offseason sign twenty two. Sign brought everybody back outside of it,

401
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: Rakwon Davis as well as Joe Flackham.

402
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: There's your free agency.

403
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: The reason I'm bringing this up is my question to

404
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: you both is do you anticipate a harder push in

405
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: free agency again outside the quarterback position, which I know

406
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: is key, but as far as like last year bringing

407
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: in two, is this year, with the way that this

408
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: season went, that he does hit this free agent market

409
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: a little bit harder.

410
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: I think you you need to look at this roster

411
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: with a pretty clear eyed view of it and identify

412
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: where are our biggest weaknesses, what positions have the biggest weaknesses,

413
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: and where can we use free agency to plug those holes.

414
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: I think that that's where we looked at the roster

415
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: last year and said, Okay, we can plug these holes

416
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: with our own guys, which I still don't think was

417
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: the wrong way to think about it. It didn't pan

418
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: out the way that you would have expected and you

419
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: would have hoped. But if you need free agency to

420
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: elevate your team, that can be that's where you get

421
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: into trouble in free agency. And but you use free

422
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: agency to plug holes and to say, Okay, we need

423
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: to need you know, we need better tight end play.

424
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: Let's go out and try to find a tight end

425
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: and free agency to come in. That guy doesn't need

426
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: to necessarily be a difference maker, but you plug the hole,

427
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: and then you get to the draft and you say, who,

428
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: these tight ends are pretty good, go take one of

429
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: them the first round, and but then you're not counting

430
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: on that guy to be like the immediate solution. So

431
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: I do think that's probably if the Colts are going

432
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: to hit the market harder, it's not going to be

433
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: I think it's going to look more like it was

434
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: in twenty three where the Colts spent money on outside

435
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: free agency that year. It spent decent out to get

436
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Samson Ebba come in. That was a good signing. You

437
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: obviously got Matt Gay coming in. Cardner Minshew is part

438
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: of that class. So they did spend that year. But

439
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: if you also look at it, within a year, the

440
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: Colts had drafted Layoutu Latu at defensive end and they

441
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: drafted Anthony Richardson that year at quarterbacks. So I think

442
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: if you if you use it to plug holes and

443
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: then it doesn't cut off any path for like who

444
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: you need to draft. That's how. That's probably how if

445
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: if it does ratchet up, that's let me ask you this.

446
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm putting you on the spot, and I'm sorry. You

447
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: can talk to me off camera about this. Do you

448
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: anticipate more than two moves next year or this upcoming

449
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: season in free agency?

450
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think after you go eight and nine,

451
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: coming off a nine and eight season, you know, coming

452
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: off a four to twelve and one season before that,

453
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: and then a nine and eight before that, I do

454
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: think you probably look at this and say, we probably

455
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: need to there might be more holes on this roster

456
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: than we might have initially thought.

457
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: Lara, i'mutting you on the spot on this free agency thing.

458
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: Is he dive in a little bit like he's done

459
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: in years past? Or is Chris Ballard hands off on

460
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: the free agent market this year?

461
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think you've got to dive in.

462
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 4: I think you've got to explore what opportunities are out there,

463
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 4: and especially with you know, the money that you have.

464
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: You know, we've seen the Colts have, you know, quite

465
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: a bit of cap to be able to manage and

466
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 4: work with. So I don't exactly know what we're looking at.

467
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: You know going into this offseason and where we are,

468
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 4: but uh yeah, I think when you look at the

469
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: finish to the season, if you want to avoid doing

470
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 4: what has happened the last few years, which is not

471
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: winning the division, not making the playoffs, all of those things, like,

472
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 4: you're falling short.

473
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: So everything needs to be addressed.

474
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 4: And if you what, the definition of insanity is doing

475
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right,

476
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 4: So I do think you have to go about it.

477
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 4: You have to go about something in a different way

478
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: in which you have So Okay, you're going a different

479
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: direction at defensive coordinator.

480
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: Okay, that's one move. Okay, what else are you doing

481
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 3: for that?

482
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: And that's why you know, I kind of said earlier,

483
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: like if you're going to bring in this new defensive coordinator,

484
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 4: sure he inherits some great pieces in that room and

485
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 4: some great veterans who you expect to be back on

486
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: this roster, but you're also going to, you know, have

487
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: to equip him with some more pieces to work with

488
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 4: to build upon as well. So I think if there's

489
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 4: a time to do it, it's now because obviously, you know,

490
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 4: Jim Mersey has reinforced his commitment in Chris and Shane,

491
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 4: and I think that you're in an opportunity where you

492
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: feel like you've I would imagine that you feel like

493
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: you have to prove why he has the confidence to

494
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: do that, right, I mean, yeah.

495
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: And the other thing I would say too, is along

496
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: those lines, if the Colts do get more aggressive this offseason,

497
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: that doesn't always just have to be free agency. That

498
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: can look like a trade like you did to get

499
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: to Forrest Buckner. That can look like being more aggressive

500
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. It can you can take these different

501
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: ways to be aggressive with your roster. That isn't just

502
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: we're going to go spend eighty million dollars to go

503
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: bring the top free agent, regards who he is or

504
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: what position it is.

505
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: And let's not forget there's a couple of free agents

506
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: in that locker room right now that are waiting to

507
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: find out who they're going to play for next year.

508
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: Dio Dango, EJ.

509
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: Speed, just a couple of it, dire Australian black Men.

510
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we're going over a bunch of veterans. There

511
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: so a lot to be handled this year by the

512
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: general manager Chris Ballard as far as who stays, who's

513
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: going who's the new faces, and obviously the draft coming up,

514
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: and again we're going to keep you all up to

515
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: date on that thing. All you got to do is

516
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: follow us on Colts dot Com and of course on

517
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: Twitter X and Instagram as well. Now we're talking about

518
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: the veteran free agency. As far as the quarterback goes in,

519
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: let's go into something else. The offensive line you mentioned,

520
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: Ryan Kelly, how much different Lara's starting with you. This

521
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: is a talented group. We've seen Bernie Ryman and what

522
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: he's done. He's been quiet and that's a good thing.

523
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: He's been very quiet. We haven't had to talk about

524
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 2: that obviously, Quentin Nelson all everything.

525
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: Again, what do.

526
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: We do on the right you know, what are we

527
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: doing on the right side? Well, FRI's Wyle boy. He's

528
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: another guy who's a free agent that's going to be

529
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: looking at a big market when it comes in the

530
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: rights with Braden Smith, we don't know where we're at

531
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: on that. Matt Gunsalve is seemed to be taken over.

532
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 2: And again Ryan Kelly, Tanner Bordalini, that sort of thing.

533
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: The rookie this year or last season. Now out of Wisconsin,

534
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: what's your thoughts on the old line.

535
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to see Mark Golwinski come back. Okay,

536
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: that's one thing.

537
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: Obviously, he has been with this organization before, you know,

538
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 4: you you brought him in.

539
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: What midway through the season. One of the things I.

540
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: Like about Glow is he played for Tony Sperano also

541
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 4: in New York, So you kind of compliment his having

542
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: previously been in this building knowing the organization but then

543
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 4: also understanding you know, Tony's operation. And I thought you

544
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: saw that group really benefit when you know Glow was

545
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: brought in to the mix. Yeah, I mean the wil

546
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: Fry situation, like just seeing him get hurt and the

547
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: like the extent of that injury when it happened to

548
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 4: all of that, you know, he was having such a

549
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 4: fantastic year, like it's he's gonna.

550
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Be a pro bowler. I mean, he was absolutely gonna

551
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: be a pro Bowl if not at all proj I mean,

552
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: like look if you were if you look at his tape,

553
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: like the like Brandon Thorne, who's kind of like the

554
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: offensive line guru in terms of like you know, national

555
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: media members. He was posting Fry's tape all the time

556
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Yeah. I mean, and then if

557
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna decide all based on like who's got like

558
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: good tape in good PFF grades, like Will Fryes is

559
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: second in p f F grade on guard he is

560
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: having an awesome year.

561
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: Well, I hope he stays here personally because I like

562
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: the young man on the field. He's a great guy,

563
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: as you know, well fantastictheart a young man. But I

564
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: know it's a business and we got to figure it out.

565
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: But boy, oh boy, for a sixth rounder coming out

566
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: of Penn State.

567
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: Seventh excuse me, seven seventh rounder coming out of Penn rounder. Uh,

568
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's I'd love to keep him around

569
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: as well. Absolutely, absolutely, like you know, hopefully you know,

570
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: he he seemed to you know, I talked to him

571
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: on Monday. He seemed to say, like, you know, his

572
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: recovery is progressing. He wants to be is a head

573
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: of schedule as he possibly can be. So you know, look,

574
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: if he's able to be out there next year, I

575
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: think you'd love to have him with the horseshoe on

576
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: his head.

577
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: I think it says a whole lot about him.

578
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: When I you know, went to the locker room after

579
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: that game in Jacksonville, and I went to Quentin Nelson

580
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: and I said, you know, hey, well we'll talk about

581
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 4: the game, but first just acknowledging like Will Fries and

582
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 4: how difficult a situation that was, and like it was

583
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: one of the more emotional moments from Quentin Nelson just

584
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 4: raving about Will as a player, as a teammate, how

585
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 4: much he meant to this O line, how much he

586
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 4: means to this so line.

587
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: And I just thought that was very telling when.

588
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 4: You know, you when you have Quenton going to that

589
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 4: level to really just make sure people are aware of

590
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 4: how significant he had been for this offensive line. So

591
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean and two, like, uh, we've seen how much

592
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: continuity has mattered for that group, right, and when you

593
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: talk about like the that they have played with in

594
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 4: those incredible you know, few seasons that you had when

595
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: you had pretty much the same starting five and back

596
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 4: to back years. So I think that that that would

597
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: be something that you know, you don't need to overhaul everything, right,

598
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: I think look to the pieces that have been effective,

599
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: and to me, the guys that you have been able

600
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: to build what you have built from the offensive line perspective,

601
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 4: He's a.

602
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: Big part of it.

603
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I like what I saw to Macnzolbaz this year. I

604
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: thought he battled. I thought he's physical. You know, he

605
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: probably needs to get a little better in terms of

606
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: pass protection. I think he would admit that. But like

607
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: just from a competitiveness standpoint, like he's got it. He's

608
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: got it. And you know, I remember back back when

609
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: the Colts drafted him, and it's just sort of like

610
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: he he plays with a certain kind of physical mean

611
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: streak that I like. I think it really benefits him

612
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: in the run game. He kind of hones in on

613
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: the on his past game a little bit. He could

614
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: be a really good player in this league. Absolutely, and

615
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: I tell you what. We mentioned it earlier.

616
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: But let's stay here, and it's a touchy subject because

617
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: we love the young man, absolutely love Ryan Kelly. But

618
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: he is where he is and let's not forget. I

619
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: want you guys to comment on this and we'll move on.

620
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: He comes back after what a five game layoff with

621
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: the knee and this team runs for three hundred and

622
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: thirty five yards a franchise record. Is there some connection

623
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: there when the veteran center comes back and these guys,

624
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: so what are we doing with Ryan Kelly?

625
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: I know what I want to do, and I wish

626
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: the big band was here.

627
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 4: I well, I think it is beneficial for a young

628
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 4: quarterback who you know, really needs to have a big

629
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: year next year, to have a veteran all pro you know,

630
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl center up front. Like I just think that

631
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 4: that can be an immense benefit for Anthony Richardson to

632
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: have a guy like Ryan Kelly up there. Also, Can

633
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: we just really quickly while we're talking about Ryan Kelly

634
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: JJ your question to Ryan, this would have been now

635
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: a week I guess a week and a half. Again, Yeah,

636
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: we can we talk about it, just explain for everyone.

637
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 4: Because I went back, I was not in the media

638
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: availability back and watched it before the season finale, and

639
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: I was going through and doing all my notes and

640
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: I laughed out loud at this like banter.

641
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: It was a good bit. I was just like asking

642
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: them about Quentin Nelson because I wanted to like write

643
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: something on Q. And he started talking about when Q

644
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: was a rookie, he was there on the offensive line,

645
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: like early in the season, he was trying to make

646
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: calls and Ryan was like I told him to, you know,

647
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: in more colorful language, like shut up, you know, like

648
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: that you don't make the calls I do. So, you know,

649
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: he talks a little bit more about Q and I

650
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: was like, okay, natural follow up question, were q'es calls right?

651
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: And Ryan just kind of gets his grin and he

652
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: goes out, I pleade the fifth on some of the

653
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: time they were some of the time they weren't. I

654
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: love it, obviously, But to your point about Kelly though,

655
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: and I think Lara it's it's a really good one

656
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: about a young quarterback, there is a benefit to having

657
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: the veteran center in there. Having said that, you only

658
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: have so much cap space, you only have so much

659
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: ability to make roster moves. If you're identifying other parts

660
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: of your roster that you need to build up, it

661
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: does mean you can't you can't do everything. So does

662
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: that mean that the Colts do move on from Ryan Kelly?

663
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: I think that would be that'd be hard to do.

664
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in this building would take that lightly.

665
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been here for nine years, He's a

666
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: four time Pro bowler. It's really freaking hard to make

667
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: one Pro Bowl. Yeah, making four, And look if this

668
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: was the last game of Ryan Kelly's career. On Sunday

669
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. What a career he's had? Yes, like what

670
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: a like? If you don't respect what Ryan Kelly has

671
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: done as a player and as a person, I don't

672
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. The guy. The guy played

673
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: his butt off for this organization through so many quarterback changes,

674
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: through a lot of highs and a lot of lows.

675
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: He remained consistent in there and then off the field

676
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: in the community. The work that he and Ma Kelly

677
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: do is unparalleled. The things that they're that they do

678
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: with count the king kicks, and the kind of leading

679
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: voices they've been He should regardless of what happens. Ryan

680
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: Kelly's had a great career here. Selfishly, i'd love for

681
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: it to continue in Indianapolis, but it is a it

682
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: is a business. It's a tough business, and.

683
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: You can't always bring everyone back to the tay And

684
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: in my opinion, he's one of those guys, a pillar

685
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: in the locker room that if there is an issue

686
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: we've seen in it this past season, that he's going

687
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: to be one of those guys it's gonna sit down

688
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: with it and try and smooth this thing out right.

689
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: And if he has to be aggressive, he'll be aggressive

690
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: and if he has to do kid gloves.

691
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: He holds everyone up to the standard.

692
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm.

693
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: Saying, Like he is that guy in that locker room

694
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: that says, hey, that's Ryan Kelly.

695
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: That's done it.

696
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: Poor pro Ball's done it for a decade almost, So

697
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: like that, you look.

698
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: At a guy like the Forrest Buffare is on the

699
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: D one of those in the.

700
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: D but also different because you got fifty six there too,

701
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: who's a leader. But I think seventy eight leads differently

702
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 2: than fifty six, vice versa, and stuff like that. So

703
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: that presence is something that I think will be missed,

704
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: but more obviously.

705
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: Will be revealed. But I do I do think your point,

706
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: generally taken about what the Colts do at center is

707
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: one of the bigger storylines of this offseason.

708
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: Wonderful and a great dovetail into this the NFL Draft

709
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: coming up, Colts sitting right now at the fourteenth pick,

710
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: and this is where I want to go on this.

711
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: I know we got a lot to scour through. We're

712
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: gonna we're all gonna watch a lot of tape, we're

713
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: gonna read, we're gonna watch mock drafts and everything. But

714
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: if you're at that fourteenth pick and you don't move

715
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: up or you don't move back to get extra.

716
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: Picks like that.

717
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: I remember you last year, and obviously our eyes were

718
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: on a tight end, certain tight end last year that

719
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 2: went on set an all time NFL rookie record for

720
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: receptions in Las Vegas and Rock Powers. I want to

721
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: go there, guys. I know it's early, but I want

722
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: to go there. Do we think about the fourteenth overall

723
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: pick and the importance of that to this offense, to

724
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: this defense, to this special teams whatever, and where we

725
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: want to go with that. Larry, you staying in the

726
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: same campus last year.

727
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: I like that camp. I do.

728
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 4: I've got somebody in mind who I think you know,

729
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 4: you might take a swing out there. I also right now,

730
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: just sitting here in January, whatever it is.

731
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

732
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: I like the idea moving up.

733
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 4: I like the idea of trying to jump up and

734
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: get an immediate difference maker.

735
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is something that this team if you have

736
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go get him like whoever that is.

737
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: And there's still a lot of evaluation that's got to

738
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: take place. You got to set your board. But if

739
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at if a guy's staring you in the face,

740
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: and you're like, man, this guy's a good fit for

741
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: our culture. He's a good fit for our team. He's

742
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: a talented player who's going to be at a difference maker.

743
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and look, Colts tried to move up last Yes,

744
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: they did. They tried to move up and it didn't

745
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: wind up working out. I thought that right there though,

746
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: showed you know, Chris Ballard has kind of had this

747
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: reputation he wants to kick back, But that showed Hey,

748
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: if he identifies a guy or two who he wants

749
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: to go up and get, he will attempt to do

750
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: what it takes. That doesn't always mean the other team

751
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: wants to move back. Ye, but I like that that attempt.

752
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 3: Was there just for the sake of debate.

753
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: I went ahead and jumped into like the way too

754
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: early mock drafts here, let's go. I know, so CBS Sports,

Speaker 4: uh JJ, you'll love this.

00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: Do you know who they have predicted to go?

757
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: That was thear? Is it the Miszoo tackle.

758
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: Some Miszoo wide receiver?

759
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: Oh burden?

760
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?

761
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: He's got great potato chips?

762
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: Really?

763
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: Literally, no one, I'm so deep. I've got I've got

764
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: a group chat with my buddies at Miszoo, and one

00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: I love it?

781
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 2: And you do a nice job in the off season

782
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: to getting caught up with the mock drafts around the world.

783
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: And oh, I was.

784
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 4: Talking to you know what, I was talking to a

785
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 4: few of our scouts, like they've already been at you know,

786
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 4: some different All star games that are out and about

787
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: they're playing for, like Senior Bowl. You've got East West,

788
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 4: but there's some other ones that are out there. So yeah,

789
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 4: these guys have been on the road and they're grinding.

790
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 4: This is a huge, huge time for them and love

791
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: when I get to pick their brain about the process.

792
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 2: Six six two sixty, I believe is the young man's vitals.

793
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: That tight tight end out of Penn State that's.

794
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: Going to be playing Notre Dame Tyler Warren.

795
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have they you know what where they got him?

796
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: I mean this is literally this is just one.

797
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the tight end Michigan. That's a first

798
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: rounder that's up there.

799
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Who knows what.

800
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: There's an lt Overton coming out of Alabama.

801
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: Does he play left tackle?

802
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 3: D line? D line?

803
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: Left? Lt Overton plays lt Overton should be playing left tack.

804
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: That's like when Auburn had I think it was Auburn

805
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: had a defensive lineman whose name was d Liner. I

806
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: love this, yeah, yeah, like that nominative determinism.

807
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: Right there, you manifested. Yeah, like your parents like this

808
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: is what?

809
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: Right? And then like the sorry, I'm off on a

810
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: total tangentier. The flip side of that is there is

811
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: a pitcher who played for the Rays. He played for

812
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: the A's. He had the worst baseball name of all time,

813
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: great ball four. Oh, I do remember what are you

814
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do out there? I'm gonna I'm

815
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna go. Yeah, that's right. That was not nominative determinism,

816
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: because he still made it to the majors, his name

817
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: being I'm gonna walk you.

818
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: Based on this one, Tyler Warren going twenty third to

819
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 4: the l A Rams because LA needs more offensive weapons.

820
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's money.

821
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: Ball four was just thinking about what would be like

822
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 2: a place kicker's name he had, like a starting pitcher.

823
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: Ball four, is your last name is not good? If

824
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: your kicker, would it be like uh boo left or no? Yeah,

825
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: like Jimmy, Jimmy missed.

826
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: It someone Daniels. That's good, Like there's a we could

827
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: go all the way down like a defensive back. You

828
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: probably don't want your last name to be like Burns, Like,

829
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: but hey, already Burns remember him Steelers? Yeah, good player.

830
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah already Burns still made it. That's funny. That's funny.

831
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: That's another show. But we got that going right now, Okay,

832
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: I can get real off the tracks on that. We

833
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: can't tell you what a lot.

834
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: More storylines that are gonna be coming at you again.

835
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 2: Colchs dot com will have the latest at Larra Overton

836
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: at JJ Stankovitz. Here we go, let's switch into what

837
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 2: I like to call the Saturday League for a minute.

838
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: We got Notre Dame in Penn State. Give me your

839
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: take on that one?

840
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: Really?

841
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: No, No, I mean I know nothing. I mean I

842
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 4: really don't. I saw mostly saw not dream all year.

843
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: Was only because they played Indiana. Like, I'm yeah, so

844
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 4: I don't know how about this one?

845
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: Who do you like Notre Dame or Penn State? Irish?

846
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

847
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: He going on Irish.

848
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: I don't.

849
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: All right, I got because this pot's probably gonna come

850
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: out on Friday YouTube And.

851
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: I have no thoughts really about either of them.

852
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: I will say I have become a big fan of

853
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: Marcus Freeman. A dynamic leader, respect the heck out of

854
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 4: like the way he leads all of that, Like I

855
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 4: just very very cool. Like I think that from that standpoint,

856
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 4: like just what I've seen here.

857
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Here's the best compliment I can give Marcus Freeman. He

858
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: has made Notre Dame the most likable team in the

859
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: college football playoff that's still left Notre Dame. And that's

860
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: a team that traditionally everybody, Yes, you feel that way,

861
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: I do, I do. I think Notre Name is the

862
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: most likable team in the playoff. He starts with Marcus Freeman.

863
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: Really, I feel like Texas is very likable. You don't.

864
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, maybe it's just because they got

865
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: bailed out by that targeting call that should have been

866
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: called that wasn't against Arizona State.

867
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 4: Texas is just a cool football team. Like Sarkesian is

868
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 4: just cool to me, you know what I mean, Like he.

869
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: Just has Marcus Freeman's cooler.

870
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but I'm just saying from like, I

871
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 4: feel like that kind has.

872
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: The stink of being in the SEC on them. And

873
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: it's like, we're up here in Indiana and you know,

874
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: the Indian under South Carolina in the playoff for the

875
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: South Carolina Carolina lost to Illinois. You know whatever. All right,

876
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: that's a podcast for another time.

877
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the OSU Texas game?

878
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Then? Both that game is going to be fun, But

879
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: I also think I High State wins that by like

880
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Touch Ohio State's playing unbelievable right now.

881
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are also of rooting interest for Colts fans.

882
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 4: Be on the lookout for Josh Downs's brother.

883
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: He is really good football. Oh my sophomore. Yeah, so

884
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: he's not eligible for drafting now. He is exciting, electric

885
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: punt returner and one of the best safeties. All right,

886
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: let's switch.

887
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: Let's switch the knob over to the Sunday League. I'm

888
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: not going to ask you over every game none.

889
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: I just want My dad and I went through this

890
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 4: the other night. We were breaking them all down, because

891
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: we do that every Sunday together.

892
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 2: Me upsets or give me underdogs, Rod, give me road

893
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: teams or something.

894
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: So I know they're at home when they're the higher seed.

895
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: But I'm guessing I don't. I don't know if Minnesota's

896
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: favorite or not. But La is LA's favorite. I believe

897
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: so by one, you know, so that's not even an upset.

898
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: I still like the Rams. That's okay, he likes Rams

899
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: at home. Anything gonna happen this week. Look at that

900
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: Texans game they're host.

901
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: In a U.

902
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 4: I know the Chargers. I think I think the Chargers

903
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 4: are gonna win.

904
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: That's a that's a tough matchup for Houston because LA

905
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: has got a really good offensive line and Houston if

906
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: they if they're pass rush, which has been awesome this year,

907
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: Like I think they set a franchise record for sacks.

908
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: If they can't get home because that Chargers offensive line

909
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: is taking care of him, it's gonna be tough slides

910
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: for Houston.

911
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 4: I find this one like I think it's really hard

912
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: to bet against the Buccaneers, like right, but I find

913
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: that one to be a very intriguing game, like that

914
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: Commander's Bucks. Like Jayden Daniel's unreal, Like I think he's

915
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 4: just such an easy guy to root for. I mean,

916
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 4: just it's been so fun to watch his season. Also,

917
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: like Terry McLaurin Indie guy, I like, you don't love

918
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 4: to see him having so much fun. The job that

919
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn has done. I'm Coach of the Year candidate.

920
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: Hasbury's had a real comeback too, Like what he's done there.

921
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that to me is I'm just very intrigued

922
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 4: by that one. But like the Bucks are just like

923
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 4: they're a team that knows how to get it done

924
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.

925
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: You've got so many of those like great vets.

926
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 4: I love the Baker Mayfield like element of what he's

927
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: brought there, the fact that he has gotten kind of

928
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 4: this like second chapter of his career and been revitalized.

929
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 4: I love everything my husband, I was talking about this

930
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 4: and he was like, yeah, you know, I was never

931
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 4: like a Baker Mayfield fan, but I love Todd Bowles like,

932
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 4: and I was like really interesting. So like we were

933
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: going on on kind of about like that group, Like

934
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 4: how do you not like Mike Evans, you know, like.

935
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: Just Mike Evans versus Marshawn Lattimore. Love by the way, oh,

936
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: stick that to my veins. I'll tell you what, guys.

937
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Baker Baker this year I want to

938
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: talk about like a hell of a.

939
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: Year should have been should have been considered? I mean,

940
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: this is a hell of a year for this young

941
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: man that was seventy.

942
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: He completed sevent of his passes and averaged almost eight

943
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: yards per attempt. You know how hard that is to do.

944
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: Has this been one of the we've really gone off

945
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 4: on another team here? Has this been one of the

946
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 4: bigger years in terms of quarterback revitalization so to speak?

947
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 3: Sam Donald like Baker Mayfield. I know, obviously he's been

948
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: in Tampa.

949
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: I think it started last night. I mean Baker and

950
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: Gino Smith Smith, Yeah, she knows awesome, got paid. Yeah,

951
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: and then Donald comes around.

952
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: But guys, here's I got it before it before I

953
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: have to say this. I love what Washington's doing. I do,

954
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: new ownership, new head coach, it's new quarterback round and

955
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 2: how quick it is. I get that, but it's tough,

956
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 2: and my point is to have that organization on the upswing.

957
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: I know you guys are good and everybody, but you

958
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: go on the road with a rookie quarterback against a

959
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield who's hotter in a pistol, with Mike Evans

960
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: who just did something that you know nobody's done in years,

961
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: and breaking Jerry Rice's record for consistency.

962
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson another one in there.

963
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 4: There's another guy to drop in there that I was like,

964
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 4: I'm missing someone, but yeah, that was what it was.

965
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: That's my take on that. I just I love I

966
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: love watching Washington stuff. But I just think when it

967
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: comes to this, you know, crunch time of the year,

968
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna go on a veteran quarterback who's.

969
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, je Jen Daniels is so good, veteran quarterbacks so good.

970
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: But thats been got was strowing touchdowns at Brandon ayuk

971
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh because a freshman. Yeah, how about that? That's great?

972
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: So much more to come when this uh through the

973
