Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the Colts Report with Will Rutherford and Sam Frick, and it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:15[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report Colts fans for another addition of the Colts Report slash Texan's preview.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_01]: We put our heads together and decide there's no reason to do to this week.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_01]: It is a meaningless game for the cults.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_01]: Not completely meaningless though, so I want to start with this.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_01]: With our guests, the Sam Frick of A&EC Sport will run the front of the strictly biased podcast.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, what do you want to see on Sunday?
- 0:41[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we want to win the game.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: Besides that, what kind of things do you want to see from this team on Sunday?
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: The best thing for me is I just want to see what Riley learned to do for adjusted game.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: Can he prove that he can at least at the very least be a competent backed up in the NFL?
- 1:00[SPEAKER_00]: I don't expect him to start next year, but I want to see at least be a competent backed up quarterback at the very least, so that he decolts no they have at least some depth for the future.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: And then I did the other thing more importantly is I want to see which guys are actually going to be committed to the cults.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: long term.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_00]: Do you all see some guys really checking out because no, they know the seasons over.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: See some guys not play as hard as they normally would.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see which guys want to be back next year.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see what pieces are going to fit for next for the long term.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: As things currently stand right now, a lens we see major changes.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: We're probably going to assume that we're going to keep the same two people.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_00]: even though that's not what you should really should be doing and that's not sorry about Chris Bowert and Shane Steichen, but it real matter what I want to see which guys are going to be part of the next year's team and then really look ahead to what areas we need to fill from there.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to see what we can do with with Pettman and Pierce one more time.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see if we can get warm, warm, warm, warm, warm more time.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_00]: Can we get JT involved?
- 1:59[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see what our entire team may look like going into the off season.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: performance standout, no matter if we win or lose this game, I just want to see some of those guys play their best, even in a mean listing for the colds.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: I know Houston, they have something to play for because of seating at the very least.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: They want to get that, they want to get that 4-5 matchup at the very least.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're still in play for the vision, but although Jacksonville, I actually know Jacksonville won the vision, I believe.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: So, Houston is still playing for seating to get that 4-5 matchup.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_02]: I think that I want to see them just win and compete and play and I want to see them.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Riley, Leonard looks like as the combat backup, I would have liked to have seen Anthony Richardson, I think get out there, but clearly he's not healthy enough to be activated off the IR with whatever vision limitations are I expect him to play horror, I expect them they don't want to put bad tape on you get 17 games to put tape on for your season and I don't expect them to throw a game or to not perform well.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't necessarily expect them to be able to keep up with Houston's pass rush.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_02]: I think that
- 3:06[SPEAKER_02]: they're going to be condensing down the game plan because of whether it's starting.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_02]: He is going to get the whole week, which I think will help him be prepared, but it's not going to be the same offense that you saw with silver versus the checks, the calls, the change of plays that line of scrimmage.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_02]: I think that will be slowed down a lot.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a lot more of a striking running what's striking is calling with Riley Leonard.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_02]: You hope that, guys, stay healthy.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_02]: You don't want to go into the off season and then a Jonathan Taylor ACL injury.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he becomes a wasted trade opportunity if that's the direction they choose to go.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what they do beyond Sunday as far as Steiken and Baller.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_02]: I think the general consensus is that they're probably going to be gone.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I don't know yet.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_02]: I need to hear it from the USA before I believe it.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_01]: Alright guys, we're going to make our prediction for Sunday's game here in a minute first.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about, I gave you guys some homework over the last couple of days.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_01]: I sent you the list of unrestricted free agents from the cult, and I want your opinion who's a must, who do you want back?
- 4:23[SPEAKER_01]: on this team is in or any of these guys.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to read the list and I'm going to start with you will your thoughts on the colds unrestricted free agency as we start to think about that part of the season.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Jones is a unrestricted free agent.
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: Samson, Ekubon, Braden Smith, Tyson, Tyquan Lewis.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: putty pay moallie coxtremane pratt Danny Pinter Alec Pierce, Neville Gallimore Nick Cross, Phillip Rivers, George Odom, like one side left, like one tread well, give you a magic sign and end to another contract.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: Amira Dula and Chris Laman's will.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_02]: To be quite frank, I think I'm okay with
- 5:07[SPEAKER_02]: almost nobody from that list coming back to be honest with you.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_02]: That might be a bold statement.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see anybody here that to me is a complete game changer.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_02]: I think Nick cross if they can get them on a team friendly deal is probably the guy that I would be the most interested and potentially bringing back.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that he's a 12 million other safety at this moment.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_02]: I think he still misses a lot of tackles.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_02]: He's great in the box, but just a lot of
- 5:31[SPEAKER_02]: struggle with pursuit here at the end of the year the last six weeks.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_02]: I've noticed him a lot kind of missing packels that he wasn't missing at the beginning of the year.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_02]: I think to remain perhaps an interesting case that I'd be interested to see how they value his production and that cults line back room.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's great.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_02]: I could see them potentially bring him back on a team friendly deal with
- 5:59[SPEAKER_02]: Is that your Franklin could be a CUT target?
- 6:02[SPEAKER_02]: And if that's the case, I think that you consider German prad as your mic and then you build your weak side and strong side line backers off of that.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: So Alec Pierce was a lot of conversation about what now appears back.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to get a lot of money somewhere.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_02]: If you are trading Michael Pittman or cutting Pittman and you free
- 6:28[SPEAKER_02]: Let's also be real, but Alepyrus is not a one at the NFL level.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_02]: He's a good two.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_02]: I think a great three.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see a number one right?
- 6:39[SPEAKER_02]: Why do you receive her in his future?
- 6:42[SPEAKER_00]: as far as I'm concerned I think if you can get out here said a manageable deal, I think you I would love to break them back.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_00]: I agree that he's not a white receiver one.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: He's too much big boom or bus potential for me to come to the white receiver one.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely more of a home run type of white receiver than he is.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_00]: They true number one receiver where pitman is probably more of a fringe.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: Why receiver one?
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard some of a pitman junior potentially being traded.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: personally I would hope they would try to keep him I think he is kind of the I don't want to say the might Evans of the of the the colds but he kind of fits that volume type of rye receiver so I would love to have pierced back on a manageable deal but not on an over-priced contracts.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_00]: My only thing with Daniel Jones is that it all will hinge on how rye liner plays Sunday.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_00]: If he can prove he's a manual backup then don't bring bad Daniel Jones because we don't need three quarter bats at least not with Daniel Jones there but
- 7:30[SPEAKER_00]: You know, flops on Sunday.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: Then I would definitely French now.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: I would be the bridge contract between men and probably, you know, much, much reduced pay rates for Jones.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: One or two year contracts.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_00]: That's more I was, where I was getting, I apologize.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: He's actually a pay right now.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: The lot more than I would have liked to see.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: So, yes, so given one or two year bridge deal, try to get it quarterback to be
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: And then go from there and I drew through, well, I would maybe bring back to Germain Pratt and then maybe knit cross if they're on team friendly deals.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, the rest of list can just go because I just told the ends guys are not impactful players.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: Especially now with the Titan position having Tyler Moren there, Moelle Cox's value is basically useless at this point.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but if his value is useless, I think he's pretty good if you're paying him to $3 million a year.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_01]: is a good blocker and he's a decent pass catcher.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that about a lot of these guys, Danny Pinter, if you can get him back for $1.6 million as a backup role, you probably do it, right?
- 8:31[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not saying they're not going to resign any of these guys.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying none of them are really priority as far as I can tell.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_01]: Nick Cross to me would be the most important one.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: And to me, Samson, Ekibon, making $8 million and Taiwan, Lewis, making $6 million.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think either one of those are guys
- 8:51[SPEAKER_02]: Braiden Smith probably at tackles is days or number two because Well, I think that they've been happy with how Jalen Travis is stepped in that right tackle rule They always say don't let your back up see the field.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Braiden Smith on his back up to the field I don't think he's gonna see it again with the cults.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_02]: So I expect they'll move on from him.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_02]: The edges all three of the edges can go none of them are worth what they're getting paid Yep, the entire defense except for sauce gardener
- 9:22[SPEAKER_01]: and the forest buckner and shabarious ward if he decides to come up of course of course yes and jalen johnson if he can come back and be a jalen johnson is it johnson is it johns yeah jalen johns and jalen johns if he's healthy and can play at the same level i don't have any confidence and that any more all right guys let's get our predictions for sunday
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: All right Sam, let's start for you.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: It is essentially a meanless game, but that doesn't mean we don't trick the final score.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, I think when we talked about this the pre-season, I said the course we wouldn't mean it was game.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_00]: Against Houston, my brain tells me they're they would lose to Houston like 31 to 17 so like that.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: But I'll be honest with you.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: It wouldn't shock me at the slightest if this is the one day and they actually win because the cults are very good at winning meaningless games for some weird reason.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: This would be the perfect cults win with no shit to play for.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this would be the perfect game to do that.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: I still thank Houston wins by two scores, but personally, this would be the one game that I would not be surprised at the slightest if they win a game that means nothing to us.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we said at the beginning of the year, the cults were destined to be 9 and 8 or 10 and 7, now there's their chance to be 9 and 8.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to win this game because it has the chance to ruin their draft stock for the jets.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_02]: They still want to play for that.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_02]: And to be quite honest with these Shane stack and still playing for his job in coaching for his job at this moment in time.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_02]: I think the cults wouldn't this be good.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Houston dolphins showed signs of struggle in the second half against the chargers.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_02]: I think the cults can turn the ball over for a month.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: To be honest, I thought that the cults in a pretty good job against Lawrence.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_02]: I think that they made them uncomfortable a lot.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_02]: They made them make, hop three quarterback throws.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_02]: He did make them, but they did a good job against them.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_02]: They, they,
- 11:28[SPEAKER_02]: had great pressure calls.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_02]: I liked what they did.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Colts win this game 2317 to be honest with you.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_02]: I think that their offense doesn't up.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_02]: I think Riley Leonard's mobility is going to help against that Houston pass rush.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're going to get the ball out quick.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to lean on Jonathan Taylor.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_02]: The Texans have a lot to play for at this moment.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that they go into this game over.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_02]: Looked the Colts just a little bit.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this, so there is very low tape of any at all of our elements that mobility part could play a huge factor on Houston's.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: Passage, and remember, the first meme of Houston, we did play a pretty good effort and that name gets Houston defensively.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_00]: We almost won that game, so it's not like we can't win that game at all.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_00]: We had a couple of calls kind of go against us there and whatnot, so it's possible we could win this game, which is why I'm with you.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it could happen.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not surprised if it does happen in, frankly, I like to see the jet's rapid a little lower myself.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_00]: just because at this point, we don't have any first round picks of our own, let's make it a little bit miserable for the judge's feats.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the colds are going to win as well.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_01]: I think the colds are winning this game 23-13, they're going to put the game away with a defensive touchdown or a defensive play setting up an offensive touchdown.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think this Houston offense is the perfect matchup for this colds defense, like we saw a couple of weeks ago.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_01]: 2313.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk again on Sunday after Rishi will happen.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_01]: No pulse.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_01]: Let's finish strong.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: Go Colts.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks once again to our Colts report linebackers of Bill and Sam.
