Colts-Falcons Preview with Sam Frick, Will Retherford & Michelle Garmon (2.80.1) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana's Colts fans for a special edition of the Colts Report with Sam Frick, Will Rutherford and Michelle Garmin, their preview of the Colts game against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin on Sunday morning at 9.30 early rise to watch the NFL.
0:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotta love that.
0:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Do not skip church anybody.
0:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially after a loss to the Steelers, a pretty big game, a pretty good opponent that has wilted, and I talked about his strictly biased podcast this week that the Falcons are one of the biggest yo-yo teams in the NFL.
0:44
[SPEAKER_02]: You never know what you're going to get, that makes it a pretty interesting game and a big one.
0:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Especially the element of going overseas, right, so you've got the early morning start there and then...
0:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, as you mentioned, Lantern with all the weapons they had, they can fill the football as well.
1:03
[SPEAKER_03]: They got a pretty decent offense, I think, but I think at the end of the day with the Lantern with the Colts match with the Falcons is a big thing is, and we play four quarters of Colts football and play to the level we've been, we have been up to this point.
1:17
[SPEAKER_03]: The game and its Pittsburgh was rough, the last time around with the turnovers.
1:21
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't have that this week and it's the Atlanta Falcons.
1:23
[SPEAKER_03]: We cannot put ourselves in tough spots in this game against Atlanta Falcons.
1:27
[SPEAKER_03]: But again, as you mentioned, Atlanta's kind of one of those big yo-yo teams in the NFL.
1:32
[SPEAKER_03]: And we think there's quite a few of those this year.
1:34
[SPEAKER_03]: So we'll see what we can do this week and it's the Atlanta coming off an amazing trade-out line picking up saws gardener, which is going to be a big help to the long term.
1:44
[SPEAKER_03]: But right now, our focus will be shifting on what's going on in Berlin.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is one of those games that the Colts can get back on track.
1:54
[SPEAKER_00]: The Falcons are just too inconsistent for me to really feel like they can be um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um um, um um, um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that there is a clear advantage really across the board in terms of offensive skill set, defensively, the Falcons numbers look pretty good, but when you kind of break down, they're really good until you get them in the red zone and then they're really bad.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: scoring offense up to this point, whether it be field goals or touchdowns, I believe the sad I saw the Falcons are giving up at 70% touchdown rate in the red zone, so if the colds get down there, they're going to score.
2:48
[SPEAKER_02]: But these gun robins and has to concern you.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been bottled up the past couple weeks.
2:55
[SPEAKER_00]: He's definitely an impact player.
2:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's an incredible athlete.
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: If the Colts are able to get some pressure on PENIX, I think that you now have your corner back that's going to be able to cover.
3:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake London, to me, Kyle Pitts is probably the playmaker that I'm more concerned about because of the Colts inability to defend Piedens.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that would be my target concern going into this game would be, what is a big athletic Pieden due to this linebacking core?
3:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Michelle, my other concern would be, when you make these trips to Europe, you just don't know what you're gonna get.
3:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know which team's gonna show up.
3:35
[SPEAKER_02]: The underdog often wins these games.
3:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you come home and you never know how a team's gonna respond from that.
3:42
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's kinda cool that they're playing a game at 9.30 in the morning in Berlin, but they're definitely pitfalls from that.
3:49
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that when you travel to Europe,
3:52
[SPEAKER_04]: sometimes I think it depends on your team.
3:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you, I think if you have a more mature team, I think you're better off routine, you know, travel they know they can come back.
4:03
[SPEAKER_04]: If you have a bunch of young people that are younger, guys that are just excited, they're first trip overseas and they want to see things.
4:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And you might worry about them a little bit being not totally focused on the objective at hand.
4:18
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think the cold, the way they approach games especially offensively, I don't see them having
4:27
[SPEAKER_04]: necessarily in much of a low, I agree with you will.
4:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be a bounce back game.
4:33
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think they'll have six turnovers again.
4:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Robinson is not a concern for me, unless he breaks them and you have to put more people in the box to stop him than the pits become subjective and the fact that pinning is most accurate throwing a deep ball.
4:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the exact concern.
5:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The numbers suggest the cults.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, in NFL international games historically, the favorites are 44 and 16.
5:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a 73% win rate.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So the favorite has a clear advantage for whatever reason in these games.
5:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the cults take care of business.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if they cover it might be within a touchdown, but
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think this offense, the Falcons are 23rd rank defense in the league, the Colts have a really prominent run game.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Atlanta has increased their pressures this year kind of with two first-round draft picks on the defensive line, but I think the cult got punched in the mouth last week with what Highsmith and campaign where I just I don't see that happening two times.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think this is one of those games where These are professional players and the mistakes that made last week where they can improve and I think you come out and see you see that improvement for this team
6:02
[SPEAKER_04]: If they do get pressure on him, then all of a sudden, that offensive line that has looked tremendous becomes a little bit of a concern.
6:13
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wanted to just kind of piggyback on the Michael Petton's reference with the Atlanta Fountains.
6:17
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen, in the past, he and college in the NFL.
6:20
[SPEAKER_03]: He has a lot of potential to be a deep-all threat, and we saw him in Indiana, we saw him at Washington in college, Michael Petton's junior can be one of the great deep-all quarterbacks in the NFL.
6:31
[SPEAKER_03]: variable into the midst here can be a concern in a match of like this with some of the steel sets they have in a lamb like you might both you said I don't think we're going to be a sloppy in this game either but I again I'm with well I don't think we quite cover I still think the culture of the better team I think we win by three points though I think it's going to be closer but in the end I think this is going to be a bounce back in that we definitely mean coming out of great trade deadline get some energy back back to the states
6:58
[SPEAKER_03]: especially as we get sauce burner transition into the cold system.
7:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And we will get to our predictions for the game here in a minute.
7:08
[SPEAKER_02]: First, I want to ask well, what do you expect the role to be for sauce gardener this week?
7:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And we haven't talked to you yet about that transaction and I want to get your thoughts.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: really difficult to assume a winner or a loser in a trade like this, up to this point, this is going to take a couple of years, probably to determine who actually won the trade.
7:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's bad to go get great players.
7:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's bad to, are you going to get a saucecard with your first round pick to surprise not?
7:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to get a saucecard with your first round pick next year?
7:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Historically Chris Ballard has struggled a lot in the first round to begin with.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: This made all the sense in the world.
7:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it maybe a little steeper or priced than
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have potentially like to see at the trade deadline, perhaps.
7:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that giving up AD Mitchell was maybe a little bit of an overpay, however I said after the Rams game, you were better off trading him.
8:03
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a bench and a player of his talent, a player of his potential, you get rid of him because he's not going to have a role in your team anymore.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: As for Sunday, this is a
8:13
[SPEAKER_00]: a simple of a game plan, a sauce gardener is going to get in his NFL career.
8:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You're going to run with Drake London, and we're going to worry about playing cover three on the back side, but you're manned up basically the entire game.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume that you don't send two first round picks and he ain't playing the whole game.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just that kind of corner.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You go put him on Drake London and say, you are completely responsible for him this game.
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that is sauce gardeners.
8:42
[SPEAKER_00]: What, Michelle Wersan?
8:44
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to say aren't you concerned though.
8:45
[SPEAKER_04]: He's been the last two years.
8:48
[SPEAKER_04]: He's one of the top five and Pat P.I.
8:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Pinnon and P.I.s for the season game.
8:53
[SPEAKER_04]: If you put him one on one, landed just run straight.
8:56
[SPEAKER_02]: You best cover corner in the NFL.
8:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not close.
8:59
[SPEAKER_04]: But he's one of the, he's also one of the most penalized and that does make a difference.
9:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter.
9:04
[SPEAKER_02]: His rating is better than anyone in the NFL.
9:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the individual cover.
9:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Oscar Garner was the only corner who rated over 90 in the PFF.
9:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He was the only one.
9:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I was the member by saying his production has dropped each year.
9:23
[SPEAKER_02]: People are idiots.
9:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not true.
9:25
[SPEAKER_02]: His peers have voted in the best corner in the league.
9:29
[SPEAKER_02]: My eyes tell me he's the best corner in the league.
9:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And the numbers say he's the best corner in the league.
9:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I just saw a highlight where George Pickins made him look silly.
9:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought, hi, like when Deon Sanders wants to look silly.
9:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying for a first game, I was asking will do those PIs concern you because I know you want run on one, one on one does that concern you a little bit.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I guess you can probably make an argument there.
9:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's just getting way too particular probably for this game.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to play man up.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a cover corner.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got Drake London who
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: is somebody that saw Skardner has not laid much against in his career.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They've been in separate conferences.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not been a ton of overlap there.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I just see this as a super simple game plan for him.
10:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Super elementary.
10:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the back side, the other side with Katie Moore and Jalen Jones, you're probably going to see a little bit more.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Diversity in terms of play calling because you've got you can divide the field in half.
10:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no issue with what in Rimo has done so far.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's been really good at creating personalized game plans tailored week to week.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I see this week.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been given the Golden Goose.
10:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been given a playmaker of the caliber of sauce Gardner.
10:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I would expect that you see Drake London's targets go down this week as compared to Leeds past.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that that is the type of defender sauce Gardner is.
11:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He is not going to get a ton of opportunities to make the play on the ball.
11:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's very similar to a derail revis in his prime where you just kind of close off the other half
11:14
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's a PI, oh, well, you take the PI and you live with it.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: What's, if it was a Canadian Howard, we would be complaining about the PI call anyway.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And no business being on.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So, live with sauce, Gardner, and just hope for the best.
11:30
[SPEAKER_02]: It is crazy.
11:31
[SPEAKER_02]: We've gone from Zavian Howard to Southgard, here though.
11:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be a really great trade for the cult as long as the South as long as it does.
11:41
[SPEAKER_04]: financially strapped them because of his that contract that they inherited with Quentin Nelson and Braden Smith and those those contracts coming up next year next year and they're going to if they continue to do well, they're going to demand high salaries too.
11:59
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's the only concern.
12:00
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think the great thing is when you get when you get a war back
12:05
[SPEAKER_04]: then what that does is that it may allow you to be creative and cany more it's to take a great tight end and in coverage and man coverage.
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: The Gardener Ward more combination is going to be a great one.
12:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's going to be exciting to see what the match is going to look like on on something.
12:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we'll write about a little bit of soft starter.
12:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to, it's also going to come in much with a much more simple game play.
12:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Very similar to how the Green Bay Packers did with with Mike with Parsons when he came in from Dallas for the first game.
12:34
[SPEAKER_03]: They kind of was a simple transition, nothing too complex, get him into the system.
12:38
[SPEAKER_03]: with a simple game plan and go from there.
12:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the big, again, my biggest question to me is that his channel called Passwash be able to put any pressure on Michael Penance Jr.
12:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that would be a concern I have on paper.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: When it comes to defense, I think Sean Starner, you'll take your good, and you'll take some of the struggles for that first game, but I think Sean Starner will be fine.
12:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not too worried about that transition for him, but can we limit the deep ball with Penance Jr. and Kyle Pitz?
13:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's where I have
13:05
[SPEAKER_03]: maybe the most concerned on paper, but I love our defense of backspel on paper for the cost 100%.
13:11
[SPEAKER_02]: My biggest concern is by far, be John Robinson.
13:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe that there's a possibility this game ends with him having over 200 yards of offense.
13:22
[SPEAKER_02]: His game is just perfectly fit to kill this cult's front seven.
13:26
[SPEAKER_02]: They definitely concerns me.
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright guys let's make our predictions and I'm going to start off and I think this is going to be an incredibly difficult game.
13:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope I'm wrong.
13:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the final score is going to be Colt's 29 Falcons 26, Michelle.
13:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Alright, you know, me, I'm a little bit of the character.
13:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't like to say numbers, but I think the Colt's are going to win by a touchdown to 10 points.
13:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Howard.
13:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Colts neutralized B's on by getting up early at 14 nothing and the for Colts' first two possessions forces the Falcons to get through happy.
14:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I expect the Colts to win the game 27-17.
14:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I said the Colts would win by three, so I am going to go Colts' 27 Atlanta, 24.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Sam, you and I seem to be equally pessimistic every week.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: who have the cult in the toughest battle, it seems every week.
14:26
[SPEAKER_03]: That game in Germany, those international games, there's a lot of mids, bad with those games.
14:31
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to throw the records aside because it's just such a different atmosphere, it's a neutral side, very different game compared to what we see in normal weeks.
14:40
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's going to play a phag, and then Atlanta has enough talent on the offense, causing some trouble there.
14:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the deep ball with the landfout is more of a concern for me than anything else.
14:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that only if they complete a little bit where you have to kind of be concerned about it that it opens it up for B. John Robinson.
15:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Sam, well Michelle, thank you so much for your time and always appreciate it.
15:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Go Colts.
15:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Go Colts.
15:16
