  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report's Colts fans to the Colts Report this week with Will Rutherford, here to break down the film, talk about everything that's going on with the Colts, it's not our reaction to the last game because we already did that and it's not a preview of the next game because we're going to do that, it's kind of in the middle.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: The current state of the Indianapolis Colts, and I'm here with Will Rutherford, I'm your host Brighman Gelt.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think probably the coolest worst game of the year there were total performance, I think, and they still got away with the win.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're five in one, a lot to like.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that they played, okay.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would not say it's a win that you feel great about.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's on a win that you look back and say that was an excellent team win.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was great.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought they played hard, but defensively there's a lot not to like.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think more defense and offense is where I see the,
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Issues starting to really pop up, but they got the job done, that's all you can ask for, move on to the next week, 5-1, going to the Characters.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Anyone in the NFL is good, particularly a team that's competent and the cardinals are competent.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not good, they're not going to go anywhere near the playoffs, but they're competent.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And there are a lot of issues, it looked like this week they're written.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: issues in the defensive backfield.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's because the front seven is so inefficient.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree that it makes the defensive backfield look good.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: We will talk about some of the negatives like you said mostly on defense.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll start with some of the positive.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And let's start with once again the cults come out of the locker room first drive and look incredible on both sides of the wall ready to play every single week.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Think that the scripted first 15.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: was good.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that they incorporated it all of their playmakers early.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would have like to see Michael Pittman maybe be a slightly more involved.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know the game plan kind of swayed towards using Taylor to run the ball efficiently, but today did run the ball very efficiently.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: With that being said, I just like getting the ball my playmakers early.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it gets them engaged in the game.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think tunnel screens, quick, slant stuff like that.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just to get Pitman involved, he's great in the RPO game.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would have liked to have seen that early, but outside of that, I thought they came all-engined tomming.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: The left side of the offensive line looked great early, stayed great the entire game, and tired of the worn once again, caps off that first try, with the touchdown.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looks so talented.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: six games six times they've come out and been ready to go and I think that's pretty much all you can ask for from the preparation side of course the other side maybe have some issues the decision making in game some personal decisions maybe otherwise but preparation I think the defense was prepared this week it's just not good enough and we will get there.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tyler Warren you talked about Tyler Warren.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the number one thing.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of people think coming out of this week Jonathan Taylor is the topic of discussion number one and he is a deserving topic number one, but
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: power Warren every week proves to me and proves to us why we're so high on him as high as humanly possible well he looks great really in all facets of the game i thought his pff grade run blocking was a little lower than it should have been i thought they used him really well they highlighted all of his strengths as far as moving across the formation on wamblocks
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that he was good with this hand in the dirt.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's just a really capable blocker.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's a willing blocker.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's aggressive.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he wants to be a good blocker.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's great at the point of attack with his hands.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: He uses his hands really well on blocks.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's just so much to like with what he's able to do as far as moving bodies for Taylor creating holes and we sure we need another quarterback could we just make Tyler's
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: taller war in the third string.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he probably could be.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's that athletic.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's really good just at finding space and he's not off the charts fast.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would I think we could all agree on that.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: But he he just super fluid.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he missed his tackles really well.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: He just he really reminds me a lot of Travis Kelsey but the ball in the sand as far as the way he is able to move it his size.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's as fast and
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: and imprimed Travis Kelsey's, the probably the greatest receiving tie-dend that has ever played the game, Rob Grunkhouse, Ron Calsky comes to my hand.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: Those are the other.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Tyler Warren looks cut of that cloth.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that he's a real game changer, and he is the cult's number one receiver, whether people like to admit or not.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So good.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we will get to the quarterback situation here in the negative part of the...
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to start with the positives, and remember to, as I mentioned, Jonathan Taylor is just a perfect back for the scheme and personnel.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: No matter the situation, you just have to keep going to him over and over and over and take up.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they're going to be successful in the long run.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jonathan Taylor in the fourth quarter is gonna be what it what it takes.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I agree with that.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: One thing I'm not loving right now is the amount of work he's getting.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's early in the season.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we want to win games, but like the way this team is playing a split off team.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want Jonathan Taylor worn down by an incredibly high workload.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would like to see maybe a little bit more.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: DJ Giddens getting involved in early downs every once in a while.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that just sprinkling him in there, one it's good for Giddens because if Taylor goes down, Giddens is the starter.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And as he really got in the ton of NFL work, I would argue outside of week one where he came in in garbage time.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, he really has not.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would like to see what he is able to do behind that offensive line.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: And just give Taylor a break every once in a while.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been a true bell cow.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I know that's what people want from him.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just view.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the start of games you've got to go Taylor.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just think it there in the second third quarters, especially when you're up to scores.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you can sprinkle with DJ Giddens and expect to get similar results just with the seams that often divine is able to open them.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Get more creative when you're in the back up.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, probably as simple as that.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And after I spent the first what four weeks of the season praising the right side of the offensive line, the last few weeks the left side has been really good.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: The right side not quite as good.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Matt Gimm's always had his worst game of the season this week, and you see a couple of chinks in the armor.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not many.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: First, second year guard.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's really good, but.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Quentin Nelson's playing the best football of his career.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's played really well all year.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know you were on the Gonzalves' better than Quentin Nelson.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the last couple weeks have shown why he's in all pro.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Goard, why he's made up the pro ball all seven years of his career.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looks really good.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're just whenever they want to make a play in the run game, they follow him.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Whether it be on...
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: a sweet play where he's polling, whether they're using him up the middle, whether they're using him on outside zone.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that they are trying to put Taylor behind Quentin Nelson as much as humanly possible and letting him just be a one man wrecking crew.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I will say that border lane has been awfully good to his right side.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: In Bernhard Ryanman for where he struggled in past protection, he's made up for with an incredibly efficient run block
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think we talked maybe an injury.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: He seems to be coming out of whatever phone key was in whether he was dealing with something or whether Fast blocking still hasn't been.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, systematically there was kind of an issue, but he looks better.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: He just looks like he's moving better And Braden Smith's path past blocking on the other side has been really.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's a excellent right tackle.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would say top eight right tackle probably in the league.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's just always
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody that you just don't hear much from and I don't want to hear anything about an offensive lineman really throughout the game because if I'm hearing it, they are off sides, a holding or an illegal contact to the header neck area as far as the face mask.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't I don't want to hear about my offensive lineman.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And here's the last bit of good news.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that I had is that kickers are in fact a diamond does.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: The difference between the best kicker and the worst kicker in the NFL has never been smaller.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: The gap has never been smaller than it is right now.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're all just pretty good.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that there are definitely better kickers than others worth a hub up not what being that concerned the ball doesn't I felt kickers are making eighty five percent and they're kicking fifty five yards.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think Badley's ball booms off the foot quite like creator does but I think that he's very
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: admirable in his dad i think that he is a guy that he's probably going to make 85% of his kicks he feel pretty happy about it you probably don't want to kick in from sixty plus the way that you would probably feel comfortable senator out there for but honestly i think was psyching
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: the offense is going to be going for an awful lot if they're with fourth inside five yards they're kind of in that fifty five to sixty yard field goal range i see stich and probably going for it a lot knowing his his kicker situation and i think bachelors really good from inside fifty he i think he's a he's really accurate probably there's a reason that spencer shradders is starting kickers the reason that bachelors wasn't the steam starter i mean whether we want to admit or not there is a top thirty two
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the gap between the two is, is not, not much.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not like it would be if it was Wagner's year.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with that.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's get to some negatives because I want to throw some negatives and the first one's not that negative It's just the day no Jones had his worst game of the season But it really wasn't that bad.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a C plus not a D minus yeah, and it was good enough to get the win He was pretty darn good much of the game the interception he had I think was a really good play made by the Cardinals defender as much as anything
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: But man for the season.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't give me anything but an A right for for all.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's what we expected.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely been an A. I thought he was good when pressured.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he was 9 for 9 with 93 yards in a touchdown when pressured.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: This past week.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looks really confident whenever they're bringing more than four.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that early pick.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just stared the receiver down a little bit made that linebacker and that's honestly probably a throw that you want to throw away It's a tight tough window to get through or maybe just take off and try to find back those probably don't make that blood You know, I'll If last night isn't an example, there's a reason defensive players don't play offense.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: They can't catch the ball to save their life.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how defensive players when the ball is thrown directly to them do not catch more footballs.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: It baffles me, but yes, I think that's true.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: The pick, you go and watch the replay.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: The linebacker didn't even catch a clean and it was thrown right to him.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: So,
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: you'd like to see that hit the turf it didn't they got the ball right back it would have gone right to the receiver if he hadn't gotten absolutely that's the thing it was headed right to his receiver target it's just one of those were maybe maybe instead of throwing that ball there either uh burn the ball throw that abounds or you just try to pick up a couple yards that you're like slide get down move move on he just did not expect that linebacker to to make that move and it was just a
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, if that's the worst you're saying about Daniel Jones, I think we're in pretty darn good shape.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, I agree.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now let's get to the real negatives.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: This defense, as it currently constituted, is not going to stop anybody.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you're going to have a shootout every week.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ward and more are a definite band aid when they come back.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about it.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: They will help a ton.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they've got to upgrade.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of positions on the defense.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just not good enough.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious to see what they will do at the deadline.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is a team that historically has been pretty quiet when it comes to early November.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what they're going to do.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it's tray Hendrickson was somebody that the team was probably going to target the fan base clearly one at a time, but he just suffered a back injury in their loss to Green Bay.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I mean, maybe he's down a few weeks and all the sudden he's on available.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure there's going to be a lot of buyers, I think, at the deadline.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they're going to probably have to outbid a couple of teams to get a true game-changing edge that can come in and help.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: fix that area of their game, which is where I really think the weakness is.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: The second area is doing its best to cover four just a lack of getting to the quarterback and Jacoby Versa had way too much time.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: The linebackers can't cover anyone in space.
• 12:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: they're teetering on the line of like their five and one but I question is it sustainable the way that that defense is constructed because they're going to play some good teams coming up and I think get exploited a little bit.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Playoffs if they fix it or not, but I can't make content with those other teams.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can you shoot out, you have a shoot out when I get some of these other teams.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Man, it just don't seem to be any other teams.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think their offense as currently constructed can win a Super Bowl without question.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think their offense is plenty good enough to win.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: They've got all the right pieces and all the right places.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're built from the ground up defensively, though.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have a lot of questions.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think you've seen the past few years defenses while the Super Bowl's have been high scoring are part of the reason that the team gets there.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And right now, this team is nowhere near.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: a defense.
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you could make an argument that there maybe the worst defense in the division.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Texans and Jags both are been pretty good defensively.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Titans question mark.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe the culture of the third best defense, but regardless, I don't think that's going to be good enough to get the job done.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we know without Kenny Moore and Shavarius Ward, they're not good.
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what we know.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they come back when they played, they've been pretty good.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even in that Denver game, the defense made enough plays to win that game.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I thought the defense had been pretty good.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I think we're seeing now that they're just not good enough.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: The cults need to be lucky that Marvin Harrison left the game early in the second quarter with the concussion.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: They were struggling to cover Zay Jones.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: And if you're struggling to cover Zay Jones and Marvin Harrison was going to feast, I thought the past defense got worse as the game went on.
• 14:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the, I mean, a pressure that defensive line got worse as the game went on.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that you're fortunate that you lost potentially their best player on their team.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know that Tray McBride is somebody that is easy to circle and say that's our best offensive player, but I think Marvin Harrison's a game changer.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: The offense is are still worried about what he's able to do.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a defense.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really going to have to depend on turnovers and big plays.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sacks, but man, the past rush just is, you know, the stats say they're in the middle of the pack in the NFL, but our eyes tell us that's probably because the defensive backfield has been pretty good all year.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm gonna stand by this.
• 15:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ziya Franklin, Latu, QuityPay.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just not good enough.
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
• 15:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: They might be the worst three players on the defense.
• 15:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that includes the second and third team secondary guys.
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it've come in and been pretty good.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Franklin's hard to watch.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: He can't cover his own shadow.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's been really bad.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds behind blocks.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: He messes his time.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: He picks up.
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love the ace top three tackles.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're he leaves he leaves four five out there every single week that feel big Or ten yards down the field because he's running behind blockers.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would argue that the best tackler on this team's Nick cross with that question I think his ability the whole defense of Batfield
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kenny Moore's a great tackle in ward is a very good team more being on it's exploited a lot of weaknesses by them is a very good tackle.
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're all good tacklers back there but upfront it just isn't good enough.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They brought in the new line back right he had 11 tackles I believe
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't know.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: So sometimes tackles are deceiving stats, you had 11 tackles, but, you know, where are they on the field?
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can't cover anybody in zone coverage or you can't make a tackle within five yards of the line, which I'm Cardinals did not run the ball well, which is why I thought it was so interesting that the Colts looked really bad and play action.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: What, what do you worry about?
• 16:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Cardinals are on their four string running back and we think that's what's going to burn us.
• 16:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what situationally to me.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, why are we,
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: baiting them into, hey, we'll let you suck the defense up and then we'll just think and dunk the whole way.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's how they let you cover reset feasts.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: He was just efficient as as far as in the play action game.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 16:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just situationally, I was a little confused as to why our linebackers looked so lost.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: was all good enough to win another game, five and one, best record, a best point differential, most points scored so much to like.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be too negative.
• 17:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: We are going to go back around to this and talk about what's coming up and the position that they're in.
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: But one more negative, and it's a man named Mr. Mitchell, had an eye Mitchell, didn't play last week because I look like he's part of the plan.
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I said that they should have cut him whenever they've been
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: or trade him get whatever you can form he's clearly not you don't great receivers don't ever get bench for whatever reason cut bait and move on and say hey we messed up in the second round but ever uh... i i hope that the loss of anything returns is not come back to to hurt them um... denial john says not uh... play day whole season his entire career i feel like there's an injury coming at some point that might take him out for just a week but still uh... i think returns and you feel like a capable back up in the
• 17:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, none of these guys.
• 17:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think of these are our options were better with Riley Leonard starting and Daniel Jones spot at least Riley Leonard has been in camp with them.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't have to have a third stroke.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jeff Driscoll, Jared Hall, Tanner Mordecai, Kyle Frestett, is there a win between those four and the NFL?
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: No.
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Bring Riley Leonard in, let him see if he can be what he looked like in the preseason.
• 18:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Capable back up in the quarterback.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Good athlete.
• 18:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you give him the chance.
• 18:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that they're bringing He's in the NFL pass or but he can do some things.
• 18:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would say that that these three are getting brought in is the third string I hope we don't get to the point where I I've got a seat Jeff Dorisco soon up for the cold out.
• 18:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be really bad for two Seems like what they're speculating.
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: That dude's cursed.
• 18:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what it is with him, but he he just For the freak injury.
• 18:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean like Crazy ward stew
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's the old tree should be getting cut.
• 18:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: That can't happen.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever he was doing.
• 18:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: That can't happen.
• 18:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know What the thought process was warming up opposite directions.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what coach what trainer thought hey this is a good idea But somebody's got to answer for that because if they lose that game because Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: goes for 10 receptions a hundred yards and two touchdowns
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: you you're not over your singing the praises of of what happened you're over here really pissed off that uh a number one corner was taken out of a game in pre game and it's probably gonna miss next week as well because very hard to get out of the concussion protocol injuries are starting to catch up with them a little bit so hopefully that doesn't continue they've been safe offensively but you only stay lucky injury why so long
• 19:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here's the good news, the next two of the next three weeks to Los Angeles to face a good chargers team to Pittsburgh to face a good steelers team.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: In between, you have the titan, so worst case scenario, you're probably looking at six and three, which is great through nine games.
• 19:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're happy with that.
• 20:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that the, I think there's a chance they're nine and one.
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: or 8-1, excuse me, through 9-9.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the chargers have a lot of weaknesses.
• 20:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think the Steelers have a lot of weaknesses, and I think the Titans are super good at them.
• 20:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the vision game's always tough, and I'm glad that we're not playing in this week is the new head coach bump is real teams perform a lot better.
• 20:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: But week two, let's go see the record after that team wins.
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: The first week of their new head coach.
• 20:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: The first time in my life, I think I'm bored being a cult's fan.
• 20:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Since boring.
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like it, you just expect them to win.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: You just expect them to win.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's no fear that colds lose that game in the tights.
• 20:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's not this coldstameless, coldstameless, coldstameless.
• 20:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: It does seem so.
