They're in the news 7 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: and it's exciting stuff. I'm Matt Taylor inside the Power 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: Home Solar Radio studio. Join alongside Larah Overton and JJ Stangovitz. 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: We've gathered the crew. We're gonna talk roundtable because just 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: minutes into NFL free agency again officially, legally anyways, the 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: Colts have made a big trade. They have acquired veteran 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: defensive end unique in Goackway, in a trade with the 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders for cornerback Rock. Yes. Scene, so we've 14 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: had about, you know, a half an hour to kind 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: of chew on that and mull it over a little bit. Yes, 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: let's start with the trade itself. JJ, how surprised are 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: you that it's just a player for player deal, No 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: draft picks, no, you know, no player to be named later. 19 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: This isn't baseball, right you? Just got a player for player. 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: You guys are gonna roll your eyes at me. It's 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: a premium player at a premium position. This is exciting 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: stuff for the cold. I'm beginning to think that he 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: gets a kick back for every time he says that 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: premium players like Harry Carey with Bud Light right A penny. Absolutely. 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: I really like the thought behind this trade of going 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: out and getting this proven defensive end to pair with 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: Quddy Pay and dio A Dangbo too young and up 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and coming guys there, I mean Janick and Goua. You 29 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: don't find many guys who have been as consistent as 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: him during the time he's been in the NFL. He's 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: one of three players to have eight or more sacks 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: in each of the last six seasons. He had ten 33 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: sacks last year with the Raiders, who, oh, by the way, 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: were coached by Gus Bradley, who is now the Colts 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Yannick and got Quay began his career with 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley in twenty sixteen in Jacksonville. So it's this 37 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: is all such an interesting move given that the cults 38 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: are trading rock. You've seen a guy who is a 39 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: starting cornerback, you know, at least for I think he 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: started eight games last year for the Colts. But when 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: you look at what this team really needed, and something 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: that Chris Pallard has always said is you got to 43 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: have eight or nine defensive lineman Yannick and gotqway, Matt. 44 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: You were just quizzing myself and our colleague Casey Valier 45 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: before he started this podcast his ten sacks last year. 46 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: If he gets ten sacks for the Colts this year, 47 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: he would be what the third player since Robert Mathis 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen to have ten or more sacks at 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: least ten. Yeah, and he would have led the Colts 50 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: and sacks as a team last year, yeah, had he 51 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: played in Indianapolis. Also, by the way, if you know 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: the answer to the two other players to get ten 53 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: or more sacks for the Colts in the last nine seasons, 54 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: tweeted at us because I didn't get it, I'll give 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: it to you at the end of the podcast. Okay, 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the podcast, think about it. Ruminating 57 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: on it um the the other thing within goaqway, it's 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: surprised for putting up with more premium players at premium 59 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: positions as you get the answer to the trivia the 60 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: pe lobby this you know, this podcast brought to you 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: by the letter pet I think this. Yeah, this is 62 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: what happens when we put a podcast together. Over time. 63 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm over time the other thing, the other thing, Guys, 64 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: I mean, think about the dudes who are in this 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: room now. Um, you know you add Yannick and Goackway 66 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: with DeForest, Buckner, Quitty Pay, Dio Dango, Grover Stewart, Taekwon 67 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: Lewis or resigned today. Probably some more moves coming there 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: again to get the colts to that eight or nine 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: guys that you can roll through. Um, those just some 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: some athletic guys that you see so many complimentary skill 71 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: sets in there. You know in Goackway is a super 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: quick guy who has so many different pass rushing moves 73 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: in his arsenal. You got buck who's that you know 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: monster in the interior Rove the big dude to soak 75 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: up double teams and stop the run. You know, Dio Dango, 76 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: that big and Quitty Pay's got speed, he's got power. 77 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: Like I love how this room is starting to shape 78 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: up now with this trade. I've just looked through a 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: few things today and one of the stats JJ to 80 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: follow up, I mean you were kind of rambling off 81 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: of the last three seasons with those of look like 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's only twenty six years old, the Sky 83 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: who was a pro bowler. He's had fifty five and 84 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: a half sacks in six seasons in the NFL, so 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: that's really impressive. You mentioned the reunion of him with 86 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley. Gus Bradley was influential and drafting him to 87 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and then developing him in Vegas. He was a 88 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: captain for the Raiders last season. And I went ahead, 89 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: of course, guys, as I do anytime there's a defensive move, 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: and I reached out to Rick fin Trury where he 91 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: really likes this. He loves the reunion with Gus Bradley 92 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: here and the compliment that you guys mentioned, you know, 93 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: that veteran presence on the edge alongside the young developing 94 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: talent that you have. And Rick pointed out too, he 95 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: thinks that Isaiah Rodgers really does have a great ceiling 96 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: and this will give him an opportunity to achieve that. 97 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Also we already had pointed to corner was likely a 98 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: position that you were going to address potentially within the 99 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: upcoming draft. So that doesn't really change anything for you 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: in that regard. You have a few guys already in 101 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: house that was probably somewhere that you were going to 102 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: place priority upcoming. But this is I think a prime position. 103 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: Prime position now I'm going now you've got me doing it. 104 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: But an ideal situation for Unique and Goackway to step 105 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: to step into. You have an established presence with guys 106 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: like Grover Stewart and Defores de Buckner, and then you 107 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: have Dio and you have Quitty and you have the young, energetic, 108 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: aggressive Nate Alie. You love the dynamic that is forming 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: across this defense, and you know what underlying guys. I 110 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: think there was motivation from Frank Reich in all of 111 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: this just to get another Maryland guy on the roster 112 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 1: at another turtle. Here. A couple other quick things about 113 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: in Goackway that stood out to me. He's only missed 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: he's so durable. I mean he's he's never missed more 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: than one game in a season in any of his 116 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: six seasons. That is a huge factor here when you're 117 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: talking about you know, the best availability or ability is 118 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: availability that old football cliche twenty fource fumbles in his career. Yeah, 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: this is a dude who when he gets around the edge, 120 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: he goes after the ball, not just the quarterback. I 121 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: love that in an edge rusher. Obviously, we know a 122 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: little bit about that here with Robert Mathis being here, 123 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney being here. That's another thing. You know. You 124 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: don't just sack the quarterback. You sacked the ball too. 125 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: And Matt, we had a chance to sit down with 126 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: Matt Pryor earlier today, and I mean, what great timing. 127 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: Matt Pryor started a game against Ianic and Goaqway in 128 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: two thousand twenty one when in Gakuey was at the Raiders. 129 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Prior was starting at left tackle for the Colts, and 130 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: I asked Prior, like, what you know, what do you 131 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: know about him? What did he get to know about him? 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: The thing that he said is that in Gaquay has 133 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: so many different moves pass rushing moves in his arsenal. 134 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: It's like going and facing like Zach Grinky in baseball, 135 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: where he could throw you a fast bully, I could 136 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: throw your curveball. I could throw your change up on 137 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: any single pitch and you have to be prepared for 138 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: all those different things, and he sets them up so well. 139 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: And then beyond that, he said, he's got a high motor, 140 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: he's quick, you know, and just all those different things 141 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: are what make him such an accomplished pass rusher in 142 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah. I mean, if if you're making a 143 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: list of five or six guys that you know, you 144 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: look at around the NFL every year and you say, man, 145 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: it would be great if the Colts could have that guy, 146 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: or man, this guy just kills the Colts every time 147 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: he plays Indianapolis. I mean unique and Goaquay is definitely 148 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: on that list. Eleven career games against the Colts. Now, 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: he was at Jacksonville Jaguar, you know for the most 150 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: part of his career, but eleven games for against the Colts, 151 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: eight and a half sacks, eight tackles for loss, more 152 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: sacks against the Colts than any of the team. So 153 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're talking about eight and a half sacks. 154 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: That's the most by any player against the Colts since 155 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. As JJ just said, it's simply amazing how 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: productive he has been. And to Lara's point, he's only 157 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: twenty six, soon to be twenty seven. I think we 158 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: can all kind of take credit for this. We've been 159 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: talking all off season as we do these shows, and 160 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: we've done our vignettes on the pass rushers. You know, 161 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the Colts had a committee approach last year, and some 162 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: of that committee. You know, it's probably not coming back. 163 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Tae Kwon Lewis is coming back in free agency, but 164 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: I just think the Colts needed somebody from a proven 165 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: veteran standpoint to kind of help this group along as 166 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: they invested big time in the draft last year with Dioa, 167 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: Dangbo and Quitty Pay. I'm blown away because I didn't 168 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: think it would be of, you know, somebody of this 169 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: ilk to come in. But this is some you know, 170 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: this is a high powered name, a lot of productive 171 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: and man, this should get Colts fans excited because this 172 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: checks a major box of you know, need if you 173 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: will this offseason and now you know, it's exciting to 174 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: see what they'll do with quarterback, what they'll do with 175 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver, what they'll do with left tackle. These are 176 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: all very important positions on any NFL team, but the 177 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: Colts again check a major box off here JJ to 178 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: help compliment the future. You know, it's it's a one 179 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: year deal essentially because he's on a contract year, so 180 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: the Colts have to make a decision on him next 181 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: year and you know in the off season and free agency. 182 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: But with his relatively you know, he's still in the 183 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: prime of his career, with his youth, plus you talk 184 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: about the big time youth of Dio and Quitty, there's 185 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: something that can happen here next year in this pass rush. 186 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: That's one thing I was going to point out is 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that contributed so much to his 188 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: success last year with the Readers was the compliment of 189 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: a Max Crossby. So you still have that where you're 190 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: going to need balance from all of those guys within there. 191 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: So it's not necessarily hampering the produ activity or taking 192 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: any anything away from the other guys that you have 193 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: up and coming and developing and wanting to own that 194 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: role as well. Within this defensive line provides a great 195 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: opportunity for those guys to play off of each other 196 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: and build off of each other's strength. JJ who's doing 197 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: the biggest who's doing the biggest fist bump right now? 198 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it Gus Bradley, Is it Quitty pay 199 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: Or is it DeForest Buckner. U. All those guys in 200 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: natal will tell HI it's not. And it's the rest 201 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks in the AFC. SAL I was gonna say, 202 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who you know, Cam Robinson at left 203 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: tackle for the Jaguars, Taylor Luwan for the Titans, Laramie 204 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Tunsel for the Texans. Those guys are not going to 205 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: enjoy facing this dude two times a year like they 206 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: had to, like you said, mate, for quite a bit 207 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: of time when he was with Jacksonville. Um. Look, I 208 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: think this helps DeForest Buckner tremendously. Buck last year was 209 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: double teamed. It was like seventy percent. It was not 210 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: it was it was like up there with what you 211 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: know Aaron Donald sees in terms of double teams. And 212 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, Buck Buck had such a good season life. 213 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, maybe the counting stats weren't totally you know, 214 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: he didn't have fifteen sacks or whatever, but Buck made 215 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: a major impact last year. I think this move helps 216 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: take some of that spotlight off of deforce Buckner in 217 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: this in this Colts defense, because you can't you can't 218 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: account for you can't double both Buckner and in Gockway. 219 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: You know you can only give so much. Chip help 220 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: on in Gockway and quid he pay this should help? 221 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: Could he pay out tremendously if he's opposite in Goaqway 222 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: or Dio if he's opposite in Gockway, Because again, you know, 223 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: I was watching some of Goaqway snaps from uh this 224 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: last season and there's a play where he's still the 225 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: Colts chipped him with mo Ali Cox and he's still 226 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: got a pressure on the play, Like he's that good 227 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: of a defensive end that you can chip him. And yeah, 228 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: he's gonna say, all right, you know, Neat, I'm still 229 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna get to the quarterback. He's that good of a player. 230 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: So um, this is, you know, and the other The 231 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: other thing here, guys, is like the market for pass rushers, 232 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: for edge rushers who are as good as Janick and Gockway, 233 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: if they hit free agency, it is you're paying a 234 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: premium price. And that appears to be what the Raiders 235 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: did in kind of swapping in Gockway. Reportedly then Chandler 236 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: Jones and the Colts making a player for player trade here. Yes, 237 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: Rocky seems a good player, a solid cornerback, but to 238 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: be able to acquire an edge rusher. But what's yeah, 239 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: what's more difficult to find? Right well, and that it 240 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: depends on your philosophy. And Chris Ballard very much is 241 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: a defensive line guy in the pass rush guy. So 242 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: to get this trade in place, I gotta think maybe 243 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: the biggest fist bump Chris Ballard. I'm blown away. I 244 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: was just gonna say. We now have, of course some 245 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: other motion as well. They announced the compensatory picks yesterday, 246 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: so we had now have some updated, um we draft 247 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: picks there, and then the trade has been finalized with 248 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: Washington as well as of about four thirty today, so 249 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: that changes some of the Colts standings in terms of 250 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: the up coming twenty twenty two NFL drafts as well. 251 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: We will be discussing, certainly on a future episode of 252 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: Overtime or the Colts official podcast, what happens next at Quarterback, 253 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: because the Colts are now looking for one, but real quick. 254 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: Just to Lara's point, these are the colts eight selections 255 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: right now in the twenty twenty two NFL draft. Second 256 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: round forty second overall that is from Washington, Third round 257 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: seventy third overall that is also from Washington. Then also 258 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: in the third round eighty second overall, So the Colts 259 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: having three picks in the first one hundred not bad there. 260 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: Then fourth round one hundred and twenty second overall, fifth 261 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: round one hundred and fifty ninth overall, fifth round one 262 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy ninth overall, that is a compensatory pick. 263 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 1: Sixth round two hundred and sixteenth overall, that is also 264 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: a comp pick. The compensatory picks, by the way, those 265 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: come from a formula involving free agents, unrestricted free agents 266 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: that you sign and that you let go to other teams. 267 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: So I believe Denico Autry and Jacoby Brissette played a 268 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: role in those picks from what they know with them 269 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: leaving the Colts last year. And then lastly, the Colts 270 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: have the two hundred and thirty ninth roll pick in 271 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: the seventh rone that is from the Eagles and in 272 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: the Matt Prior trade. And you cannot overstate the importance 273 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: of those second and third round picks. That is where 274 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: the Colts have done really well in building you know, 275 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: a portion of like the meat of this roster, they've done, 276 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: you know, very well. When you look at the success 277 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: they've had in those rounds. Of course, you know Darius Leonard, 278 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: Braden Smith, Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, Junior, Julian Blackman you 279 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: toss into that mix as well. So adding picks in 280 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: those rounds, moving up in that second round are things 281 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: that could be significant come late April. There you go, 282 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: good stuff right there. That's the big trade so far, 283 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: Unique and Gackway is a cult for Rock. You seen 284 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: player to player head to head swap right there between 285 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: the Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders. Before we close 286 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: out here, guys, I'll give you both a chance to 287 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: head to the podium and give your thoughts as we 288 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: wrap up on just what the Colts have done in 289 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: totality so far in free agency. Again, this is a 290 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: fluid deal. You know, something may have happened in between 291 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: the time we tape this and the time that he 292 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: gets published, So forgive us if that does come to fruition. 293 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: But so far this week, to kind of recap, the 294 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Cults have resigned there some of their own in house 295 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: free agents mo Ale they Cox has back defensive lineman 296 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: Tykwan Lewis, linebacker Zaire Franklin, offensive lineman Matt Pryor. They've 297 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: also tendered wide receiver in special teams Ace Ashton Dolan 298 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: elsewhere guard Martin Lewinsky. They let him test the open market. 299 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: He signed a deal during the tampering period with the 300 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: New York Giants. So La, I'll let you go first. 301 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: Just your overall thoughts on the activity so far from 302 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: the cults and free agency. I think it's been characteristic, 303 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: is how I would describe it. They have rewarded their 304 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: own placed priority on resigning guys who have significant impacts 305 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: have already had significant impact, Guys like Zaire Franklin, a 306 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: guy like Moiley Cox. So you've really invested in developing 307 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and who you see having great potential with now the 308 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: retirement of Jack Doyle Moke and take on an even 309 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: greater role within the offense. Excited for Matt Matt prior 310 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: to get more of an opportunity. Of course, that was 311 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: one of those benefits of the trade, you know last 312 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: year with the Eagles, as he had time to step 313 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: in when Eric Fisher was limited or before he was available. 314 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: So excited to see what he can do with greater opportunity. 315 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: Tae Kwon too, I mean the conversation with Tai Kwan 316 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: is certainly worth a listen just to get perspective on 317 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: what this past year, and not even just this past year, 318 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean going back to injuries he's faced even prior to. 319 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: This is a guy who you're certainly rooting for and 320 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: I think also brings unique versatility along that defensive line. 321 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: He's highly motivated. This is an exciting year, a great 322 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: opportunity for him. Excited to see those guys get a 323 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: chance in Gockway. I think we'll thrive with already having 324 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: the familiarity with Gus Bradley and then the other components 325 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: that you bring in as well. But yeah, overall, I 326 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: think i'd say this is characteristic. This is what we 327 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: know of Chris Ballard and Ed Dodds and this front 328 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: office and how they operate in free agency. I think 329 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: that they're being very patient with the other moves. It's typically, 330 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, a knee jerk reaction where you see heavy, 331 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: heavy spending in those first twenty four hours, and I 332 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: think they're being very prudent and patient in making sure 333 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: that any moves that you make not only have immediate 334 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: returns and immediate results, but also benefit the team long term, right, 335 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: And I think characteristic is a good way to put it, Lara. Um, 336 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of fans are you know, 337 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: beaten down the doors for what you know, why aren't 338 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: we doing this? Why aren't we doing that? Um? This 339 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: is this has always been, you know, kind of the 340 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: cults formula. And by the way, the Cults formula has 341 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: involved a big trade the last couple of years and 342 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: the Janik and Goaqway. Excuse me, I'm want to get 343 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: this pronunciation right, unique in Goaqwayne yep. I should have 344 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: just listened to Matt Taylor the whole time on this 345 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: unique in Goaquay. Um. Scary, isn't it? The Uh? You 346 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: know you gotta tell that to your daughter. I should 347 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: always listen to Matt Taylor. Um, but unique go away. 348 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: This is now the third straight year where the Colts 349 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: have made a big trade, you know, first to Forrest 350 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: Buckner last year as Carson Wentz. Obviously, now I think 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: you would consider this would be two big trades, you know, 352 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: sending Carson Wentz to Washington and then trading for in Goaqway. 353 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: This is where the Colts have done a lot of 354 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: their big heavy lifting when it comes to adding top 355 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: end talent to this roster, and a lot of the 356 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: times that's almost sometimes the best way to do it. 357 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, where you're not over committing for someone who 358 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: you know maybe doesn't have the you know wouldn't command 359 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: that otherwise. But free agency elevates values of guys sometimes, 360 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: and sometimes you get caught with a guy who you 361 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: overcommit to him or you overpay him, and you know, 362 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of time left in free agency, 363 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of players are still available. We'll see what 364 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 1: comes in the next two hours, twenty four hours, two weeks. 365 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: But right now, if this is if this is one 366 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: of the big swings to go get in gockway, let's 367 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: say it's a pretty good one. Yeah, all right, OT, 368 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: right there, Lara, what's your OT ray your time and 369 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: a half? What are you getting paid time? How do 370 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: you get time? Yeah, yes, yeah, something like that. Not 371 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: quite as much what you've negotiated your JJ. Yeah, come on, 372 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: it's like I think I actually got less.
