Colts-Commanders Preview with Will & Dave Retherford (The Colts Report, 3.63) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome Colts fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Colts Report combined.
0:11
[SPEAKER_00]: With a bit of a recap of the Colts and Texans and more importantly, a preview of the Colts against Washington and London on Sunday.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And guys, I watched the Colts all three games and all three Washington games to prepare for this podcast and I came to this conclusion.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Those two teams are exactly the same amount of good.
0:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be a really, really good game on Sunday.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's kind of, the Washington is kind of the exact opposite of the Texan state.
0:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Their defenses isn't very good, but they have so many guys who can beat you with their offense.
0:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Marcus Marriot is savvy veteran, I think.
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: You should say at this point.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And just kind of the exact opposite.
1:08
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I agree with Greg, I think it's two teams that are pretty equally matched.
1:14
[SPEAKER_02]: When you look at statistics, when you look at just up and down the roster, strengths and weaknesses, so I think it's going to be a close game throughout, which I guess is to the benefit of
1:30
[SPEAKER_02]: the folks in London.
1:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say that if if I were a Londoner, I would probably prefer a different game that might be a little bit more exciting.
1:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Then this one probably is going to be-
1:47
[SPEAKER_02]: But I do think it's a game that should be a good one, probably a close one, and one that could come down to the final possession.
1:56
[SPEAKER_02]: So I guess that, and then itself, could be make for an exciting day.
2:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't know if I love that this game is happening in London, because I think it neutralizes maybe an advantage.
2:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think of this game's happening.
2:14
[SPEAKER_01]: at home, rather than abroad, I think the cults are easily a favorite for me in this game.
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think the cults are going to be able to handle Washington's defensive line.
2:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It is probably their strength.
2:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Their defenses at gray.
2:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think their linebackers are gray.
2:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Frankie Louvre is probably on the back side of his prime.
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see this front-seventying Uber imposing with that being said they've got some playmakers.
2:40
[SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing for me that says the Colts can't win this game pretty handedly, but when you fight, it wasn't always kind of...
2:49
[SPEAKER_01]: makes it more of a toss up than it probably should be.
2:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the cults have a big advantage in the coaching matchup.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Dan Quinn's a goofball.
2:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
2:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He always finds a way to just make an awful mistake.
3:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He did so by going forward on fourth down and Dallas that got
3:05
[SPEAKER_01]: they're in danger that was just an absolutely befuddling decision to make take the points.
3:11
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just stuff like that Dan Quinn's always gonna try to give a game away.
3:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's done it his entire career.
3:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what we saw two years ago and Jade Nendil's rookie season was a bit of ball luck.
3:23
[SPEAKER_01]: It seemed like they got an awful lot of bounces.
3:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And in 12 and 5, this team's not that good.
3:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think that Marcus Meriod might make him a little better.
3:34
[SPEAKER_01]: two seasons.
3:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he's been injured.
3:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I know this elbow has been a lingering issue, but he's not been what he was this rookie year.
3:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That's for sure, especially that Monday night football game he played in Cincinnati where he really kind of made a name for himself and submitted himself as easily the offensive rookie of the year maybe could have continued for an MVP.
3:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the Colts in this matchup.
3:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're run games suffered against Houston.
3:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see Jonathan Taylor going for less than 100 yards over at two gamespan.
4:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think the Colts are better than this Washington team.
4:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you really when you rewatch the Colts and Texans really the thing that stopped the Colts on almost every drive was pressure off the edge.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not something with Washington that concerns you as much as it does with Houston.
4:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is a concern going forward that really those tackles struggled hard with granted probably the best pair of defensive ends in the NFL.
4:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think Javon Ken laws it, awfully admirable NFL starter, but he's not Will Anderson.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the Neil Hunter, he's just not that level.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think that sunny styles out of Ohio State is an absolute freak athlete.
4:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I do think that- It's gonna be a good one.
4:55
[SPEAKER_01]: the tackles are going to get a little bit more comfortable this week.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe a new environment and London can disrupt that, but I don't see Darren Payne or Tim Settle is huge liabilities, especially considering how good this cults interior three is.
5:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it might be one of the best in the league.
5:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the fact we're going to be playing against the second string,
5:23
[SPEAKER_01]: They're probably we're going to have Nick cross play him, but he's obviously going to be out.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremy Reeves also not somebody that I'm Uber worried about neutralizing a town like Tyler once.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I expect him to get the ball early and often.
5:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they did make a superiority in that Houston game after going back and watching the tape to get him the ball and he had a rare drop there for would have been for first 10 right in the middle of field.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: lack of concentration.
5:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I think maybe the sun may have gotten his eyes whatever the case is.
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I really think that he can match that nine reception performance.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, we'll see it just kind of depends on, you know, where the targets go.
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It depends on how good Josh downs is, but there's a lot to like with this cult's offense.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And I do think that Washington's defense is average at best.
6:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And I probably not even that.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I say top 20 off into the league.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And Dave, I think their Washington's offense probably isn't great either, although last week was a pretty good performance against the defending world champions.
6:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But they got so many different guys who can beat yeah, it's a bit of a concern when you go back to the opening game against the Ravens and how they had all those different weapons who just ran all over the cult.
6:36
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they've got admirable wide receivers, McClure and Diggs Williams are all honestly potentially even better than our number one in many ways.
6:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I definitely think that we win the battle at running back, but we're going to win that against most teams and cross their backs, though.
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not a bad running back either, so they do have some weapons.
7:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes the whole backup quarterback thing and it seems like the cold's always seem to struggle against that, like we're not prepared for whatever.
7:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And so still not sure.
7:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Daniel's is just listed as questionable and I, you know, was limited in practice today.
7:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's gonna play?
7:20
[SPEAKER_02]: It gonna be, is it gonna be serious?
7:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
7:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna, that's kind of what I'm thinking too, but, but,
7:27
[SPEAKER_02]: that that that that could make a difference to like we're off and to probably practice scout practice against both of them.
7:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So the interesting to see what happens there are that one thing that I'm certain of is that we've got to do a better job of taking care of the ball.
7:42
[SPEAKER_02]: we cannot have, we cannot lose the turnover battle O3 again and expect to get lucky again.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, and they gotta take it away too.
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, and this is a Washington team like we said, competes with the dumbest teams in the league every year.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: And they love to give that ball away.
8:03
[SPEAKER_02]: They actually have a plus two differential on the year, while the culture minus five.
8:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So they are seven differential difference there.
8:13
[SPEAKER_02]: That can't happen in this game.
8:14
[SPEAKER_02]: If we go to London and we don't take care of the ball, we will not come back with a happy team.
8:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I really expect that to change this week.
8:25
[SPEAKER_01]: A. Marcus, he played really well.
8:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see at the last week.
8:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But for his career, he's been awfully prone to give him the bowl up.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I expect that to happen.
8:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And one thing that I do think is going to fly a little bit under the radar when it comes to both of these quarterbacks depending on who they're playing is the cults do have a backup that can give a look.
8:42
[SPEAKER_01]: of what Jayden Daniels and Marcus Marriott are in terms of Anthony Richardson.
8:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think this is one of those weeks where having that mobile back up is important because he's able to play in a way that Jayden Daniels or Marcus if he plays can, you know, is that
8:57
[SPEAKER_01]: the end all be all, no, but say I'm alleging you're not going to be Jayden Daniels.
9:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that for a fact, and Riley Leonard could maybe play the part, but it does help to have that athletic back up.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I really think McClellan is on, I don't know, they've struggled getting him the ball, at least they did in the first few weeks, and I get that the Eagles are a whole different beast.
9:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Crosskey Merit, Rashad White, I'm a little curious to see Bryce Betcher's snap count because it seemed to be in the film review of the Houston.
9:29
[SPEAKER_01]: He's getting on the field more and more.
9:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm curious to see Rashad White is primarily going to be used in passing situations and passing guns.
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, given all he's been inefficient running back, but a good volume running back in his career in Tampa Bay before this year coming and signing a free agent deal with
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: in terms of is bet you're going to be able to cover my don't know.
9:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but I do think that it is curious to see him get on the fiddle a little bit more and that could be a match up the cults do have some level of an advantage in.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I also think the tight end room for Washington is really bad, especially if Chigga Conquo seems like he's already been listed as out.
10:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's questionable right now, but it sounds like he's not going to play.
10:13
[SPEAKER_01]: John Bates and Vince Sinot are not
10:16
[SPEAKER_01]: two names that you really fear a whole lot.
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is shaping up injury wise to definitely favor the cults.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if that happens.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think digs is scary, but let's be honest, the cults have two good cover corners if they need it.
10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Dianey Brown's not somebody I really worry about.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, are they gonna use digs in the slot?
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they gonna use them outside?
10:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure that it'll probably
10:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, depend on if they are going to have
10:47
[SPEAKER_01]: board or sauce on stuff on.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine if he's in the slot.
10:52
[SPEAKER_01]: They will probably keep Justin Walley on him.
10:54
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been the nickel.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been playing inside.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The modern NFL doesn't really like to follow wider receivers.
10:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That way, because they play a lot of his own.
11:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And the cults really have two corners that give you the same thing on both sides.
11:04
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't really think that matters.
11:07
[SPEAKER_01]: McLean has historically, you know, five years ago is in the McLean of today.
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, while he is a awfully good.
11:15
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't think he's the same player he was.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I'm guessing you didn't watch the Seattle game.
11:21
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I, I watch it.
11:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I just, I know.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought there was some miscommunication and say, I don't always take a ton away from West Coast teams coming east because they're starting to teney.
11:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't, I don't make they ever perform well.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a difficult, much more difficult transition than people led on because you're not leaving early.
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you're not doing the whole one and thing where you go over a few days early and get acclimated, you're flying out, you're laying in Saturday night, you turn around and play a game at teney.
11:46
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll brought up two things that I want to talk about in the second part here.
11:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to take a quick break, we'll be right back
11:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Will and Dave will be back sometime Sunday with their reaction to the Colts game against.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, please make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it.
12:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll just brought up the corners and rewatching the game from Sunday.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really impressed with the coverability of Sauce Gardner and Shavarius Ward.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were really good.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't give much space even on some completions.
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They were glued to them and I thought that was a big reason that the Colts were able to get some pressure on the quarterback as well was the coverage in the backfield.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been very inconsistent with the defensive backfield and it's kind of depended on who they've played.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Big week for them facing a couple of receivers who were capable of putting a herd on you.
12:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that we had a much better game this past weekend with both Ward and Gardner.
12:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, that's what we're supposed to have happened, you know, those those those guys were supposed to be the strength of this defense.
13:03
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm glad that they stepped up and they do have a tall task this week.
13:09
[SPEAKER_02]: But if they can continue to do that.
13:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we can get a little more pressure on the quarterback make things potentially force a turnover, which our defense has not been very good at doing so far.
13:20
[SPEAKER_02]: but the corners are gonna play a huge role in this game for sure, and they have to because they're the strength of the defense.
13:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I thought the corners played better, right?
13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think that it still leaves a little bit of anxiety.
13:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Stroud missed a few up in receivers that he hadn't in previous matchups against the cult.
13:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the benefit does,
13:44
[SPEAKER_01]: go to the coolest thing in this game because McCorn is not necessarily over the middle receiver as much as he is outside the numbers.
13:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that benefits both sauce and menu work.
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they are better and man they aren't zone.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think sometimes sauce kind of gets lost in zone.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe bites a little bit on the underneath stuff.
14:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't let the linebackers get their depth.
14:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you kind of get be in that hole that gets left in between the safety and
14:14
[SPEAKER_01]: learning how to play in this Lou and Arumo defense to and I know that he had a whole offseason there but it's a big transition from what they did in New York where it was very pressure heavy very we're going to go man on the outside and try to take away half the field with sauce and we're going to live with the consequence on the back side of that they have a much more amoeba defense where there is a bit of a change in game plan from week to week one thing we saw last year when they played against
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: in Kansas City, they really struggled and crossing routes across the middle.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's also Andy Reed, one of the best offensive minds ever, that they're putting the receivers in positions for that to be successful.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That was Xavier Worley, that was Rishi Rice, two guys that thrive in the middle of the field because they're possession of receivers.
14:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not the strength of Washington.
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
15:02
[SPEAKER_01]: can the cult play man up against him?
15:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
15:05
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to help the pressure packages.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to take less pressure on the linebackers to cover in space and more pressure on Mario to get rid of the ball in a timely manner.
15:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that benefits probably Washington slightly because Rashad White's prowess under the backfield catching the ball.
15:23
[SPEAKER_01]: There's always going to be this give and take a chess match in a game and I'm we're going to have to see kind of what Lou wants to do in the first half and see then how Washington kind of counteracts that I will say it's not their strength and especially not having that tied in to play in the slots.
15:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I ultimately think this game's going to be closer than what will thinks.
15:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope that I'm wrong.
15:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And I do think that on paper, the colds probably are the better team.
16:00
[SPEAKER_02]: But I feel that Washington has enough weapons to exploit a weak defense that we've tended to have.
16:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And so unless the corners come back, I continue to have improvement.
16:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we're segueing into linebackers,
16:17
[SPEAKER_02]: We need linebackers.
16:18
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to make a play.
16:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We need some some interceptions.
16:25
[SPEAKER_02]: We need some fumble recoveries.
16:26
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got to get on the side of getting their offense off the field.
16:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I think it's going to end up being a closer game than what he probably thinks.
16:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, it just comes down to, I mean, this is, you, you Witten got Sauce Gardner and paid to first for this game.
16:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this is the game against a Terry McLean that you Witten got him for.
16:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So if he's going to get torched by McLean for eight recessions, 100 yards and a couple of touchdowns, it begs the question of like, what is the purpose of him being here?
16:54
[SPEAKER_01]: because his job is to take away that number one threat to me.
16:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He's their only plus asset this Washington team has.
17:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I really think Dianey Brown is a week number two.
17:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Stefan Diggs is good.
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not great anymore.
17:09
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the Stefan Diggs of
17:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Buffalo years with Josh Allen or the no, but when you're playing with a bunch of other good receivers, he's awfully dangerous.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was last week against Seattle.
17:22
[SPEAKER_01]: That's for sure.
17:24
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's going to have to be the number one option, especially if you expect soft scarred near to take him a corner way, which is what I'm expecting.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Or Mooney Ward, wherever he's lined up, those are two corners that you brought in to take him away.
17:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Antonio Williams.
17:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a young rookie.
17:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's played well up to this point.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't he's a rookie.
17:47
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, these are two grown men he's going to be playing against and I do think that's advantageous for this matchup.
17:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Washington is a very inefficient, run team.
17:57
[SPEAKER_01]: They really struggle getting a push for cross-key merit.
18:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say he's tough to bring down.
18:01
[SPEAKER_01]: It does take a couple of guys.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they're not rallying and you're not getting hats to the football quickly, you could get torched by Bill.
18:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's that level.
18:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a slasher running back.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: He runs very hard for Sean White in a fishet runner.
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: But could be a threat on the back of it.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that
18:19
[SPEAKER_01]: on paper, this Washington team, they look the part when I break down the matchup, I just I like where the culture at.
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not going to be a two score game because it's the cults.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They can't ever put anybody.
18:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be a one score game.
18:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think it has the opportunity.
18:36
[SPEAKER_01]: If the cults can come out and execute their game plan, they have a chance to have the game put away by the end of the third quarter if they want to.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But Marcus does you have a little magic left and I don't know.
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think that you saw that back up.
18:51
[SPEAKER_01]: great game.
18:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He comes in, don't have a ton of tape on them for the past couple of years, because Jade Daniels has played.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He goes out.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He throws three touchdowns.
19:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of inefficient.
19:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He only threw for 180 passing yards.
19:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But now the tape's out.
19:04
[SPEAKER_01]: What they're going to do in this iteration of Washington with him at quarterback.
19:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He has an issue turning the ball over, he can, you know, put the ball in the ground a little bit.
19:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He can also miss, especially over the Middle East, not a great crossing route, row where I like the cold I do.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't feel this way last week because I've like Houston was a tough matchup, but I think this Washington team is.
19:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to say bad, but they're staring at a top 10 pick.
19:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I really, I think so.
19:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just old, it's an older roster, and they've got a lot of guys out.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're going a five hour flight, six hour flight to London, it'd be tough.
19:44
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to do our predictions for the game here in just a few minutes, but before we do that, snap counts are increasing for Bryce Betcher and Caden Curry in particular, CJ Allen, see him a feel a little bit.
19:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we struggled so much at those positions for the last half decade or so that colds fans are kind of excited just seeing them out there on the field and making some plays at oyster and just making a few plays.
20:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, this is what we drafted him for.
20:16
[SPEAKER_02]: At this point, you were not getting the production necessary that we need to get out of the others.
20:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think Carlis and Davis Gator have been horrible, but but they haven't been fantastic either.
20:28
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's why we drafted these guys and we need to see what we have in them.
20:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is going to be as, you know, we think about
20:37
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, obviously hoping for a playoff spot this year, but as we think about even just playing into the future, we have to know where the way hit on these guys are not.
20:46
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's not cats have to increase.
20:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that actually helps the others with, you know, maybe having fresh legs and things like that.
20:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So we can we can hope that seeing more of them is going to make for
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I liked that they're getting curry more than the mix.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he had a really good showing in the preseason as to better.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I was honestly surprised they went with Carlisle overbetter because I thought that he played really fast.
21:19
[SPEAKER_01]: First few weeks he looked overwhelmed but I liked the way that they're starting to...
21:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Introduce him and do, you know, that starting roll slowly.
21:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I think ultimately by a week seven or eight, he probably takes over the starting roll full time.
21:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks good.
21:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he plays with a level of anticipation that I haven't seen a cold flying back, or especially have a will lineback or a while.
21:42
[SPEAKER_01]: That was EJ speed for a couple years and he was.
21:47
[SPEAKER_01]: good if he's your second guy, but he struggled in past coverage a lot and he wasn't super athletic.
21:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He was more of a box filler kind of like Xavier Franklin was.
21:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Curry, I think it ultimately is disappointing because it means law two is not working out the way you wanted them to in terms of being that true, you know, JJ Watt, TJ Watt level of athlete that you kind of expected them to be,
22:16
[SPEAKER_01]: But Corey's a different past pressure.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not nearly as athletic as a lot to more of a power Russia.
22:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think it's a good change of pace.
22:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that that's kind of where we're going CJ Allen to me is really concerning because if you can't overtake a team Davis Gator, I worry about your long term stability at the position beyond that.
22:38
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not a guy in Davis Gator that is a top
22:43
[SPEAKER_01]: 25 middle line back or the lead.
22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So if Allen's really struggling to get on the field now, I lead to me to believe that he's got a speed problem.
22:52
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a discipline issue and he struggles.
22:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Conceptually with the defense.
22:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I am probably putting a little too much pressure on on him.
23:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I get these 22 23 fresh out of college But he was awesome at George and you a second round draft pick.
23:07
[SPEAKER_01]: That's this pretty high capital for a guy to come in defensively and not have any impact.
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You're a rookie All right, we're going to take a quick break and make our predictions
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: A very rare occurrence last week, I almost completely mailed the prediction, a big cult 16, 13, it ended up 19 to 17.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, found myself a late man game hoping the cult hit the field goal, so I can get the exactly right instead of touched it.
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: bad, but I think this game is going to be completely the opposite.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I see points coming from everywhere, coming from the defenses, coming from possibly special teams.
23:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think these teams are going to be able to stop each other a whole lot and when they do, they're going to be forcing turn over.
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Washington, one of the dumbest teams in the NFL, they will give you chances to score against them.
24:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And I see a lot of points in this game and I'm going
24:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's going to be Mario to leading them to a 28 to 27 win in London.
24:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.
24:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I also think it will be relatively higher scoring than what the Houston game was as well.
24:30
[SPEAKER_02]: For many of the same reasons that you mentioned, but I do think that when we look at all of the things, I think the Colts come out ahead in this game.
24:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna go Colts 3027 on a last minute, feel a goal from Spencer Schrader.
24:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Do it a row!
24:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious to understand, Greg, I'm really curious to see where you think Washington's won the game out.
25:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I don't make you're going to get the performance that I'm Marcus, you want.
25:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're going to be able to give the pressure to the little Jones that is going to even allow Washington to potentially have a chance of winning this game with that being said.
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Daniel Jones is going to have an egregious intercept and at some point that's going to result in points for Washington.
25:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we have spent not enough time talking about the third phase, which is special teams, which is an area.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Colts have a market advantage in this game.
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I think both Rigo is probably a top five punner in the league and I mean that and complete honesty.
25:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Tressway has been awesome for his career, but he's ageing a little bit.
25:42
[SPEAKER_01]: legitimate top five talent in terms of leg talent in the league.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And I expect the colds are going to be able to get a couple 50 yards from when they need it.
25:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the colds win this one 27 17.
25:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we have a happy flight back from London.
25:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I think they're a better team.
25:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I really mean that as Washington team for a couple of years has been the
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: The favor upset of every week when they play somebody bad.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the culture, not very good.
26:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is just one of those games, the cold twin.
26:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Just one of the cold twin, I think Taylor's good.
26:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do, I think he goes for 120 pull us, probably has a touchdown or two.
26:25
[SPEAKER_01]: And the culture able to establish a running presence, get him downhill and then take advantage of the linebackers getting sucked up and play fakes and dumping it down
26:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what, our tackles will be happy not to see those guys from Houston.
26:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll just be happy enough.
26:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, you talked about that in our reaction, Daniel Jones wasn't very good and he wasn't.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He made some dumb mistakes, but part of that was he had those two guys in his face.
26:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know what?
26:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna, Daniel Jones pled like dog shit, Greg.
26:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've tried my best to clean up the language.
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: He played really bad.
27:03
[SPEAKER_01]: That intersection the third quarter was a grigious.
27:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You had a guy right in his face, man.
27:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And so throw it out of bounds.
27:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you're just going to throw it up and didn't know he got hit.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was throwing the ball and as the he was throwing it, a guy came at him and he made him change his arm angle.
27:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It, you know, that's help.
27:23
[SPEAKER_00]: How those things happen sometimes when those guys are in your face.
27:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, it's situations like that though that it tells that Daniel Jones isn't the top 10 quarterback in the league.
27:38
[SPEAKER_01]: bite down the mouth piece, take a hit and deliver a ball.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Man, he did that a couple of times though.
27:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He did that a couple of times.
27:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I, I just, it was, it was, it was a really bad turnover when they did need to have one.
27:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And Matt, he doesn't get through his progressions quickly, Greg.
27:52
[SPEAKER_01]: That's his problem.
27:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He stands back there.
27:54
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't anticipate pressure.
27:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he didn't a new York.
27:57
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why he got stripped sacked all the time.
28:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't anticipate pressure.
28:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he doesn't step up in the pocket.
28:03
[SPEAKER_01]: He stands back there.
28:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And it hit.
28:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to put that.
28:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put that last section on Bernard Grime and more than I am Daniel Jones.
28:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I do agree with you though.
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: from the standpoint of it's it's like going into a net bat it's like having a doughnut ring on your back and the on dex or whole you know it should be that bat should be really light going in to these defensive ends for Washington after last week so they should be able to handle the pressure and also Dan Quinn turn your damn hat around you're a grown man
28:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You're a grown man, leading an NFL, a billion dollar organization.
28:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You have your hat on the sidelines backwards.
28:46
[SPEAKER_01]: That's egregious.
28:48
[SPEAKER_01]: That alone should result in you not getting hired for the job.
28:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I said the same thing when Brian shot and hammer.
28:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And Dallas, he had his visor on upside down, really.
29:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, $10 billion organization and that's how you're going to represent it.
29:07
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's why it's a joke of a franchise Never going to be taken seriously never going to win a super bowl.
29:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It's because of a guy like Dan Quinn
29:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they sure are joke of a franchise, what he did, what he did and the, the end of that second quarter in the Dallas game on TV because we all are force fed the NFC East all the time in prime time, which is the shittiest division in football pretty much every year.
29:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It's never good every there's always a tie of just an awful pie, everybody's like 97
29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: everybody playing with their food can never win.
29:46
[SPEAKER_01]: That it just, I hate it.
29:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate the NFCE.
29:50
[SPEAKER_01]: It's why I just, I want the cold stick kill Washington.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Because for the love of God, it might mean they get flexed out of a game in the week 15 that I don't have to watch him in that's what I'm praying begging and praying for.
30:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That is so true because I know that they're going to rush.
30:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Jaden Daniels back from the cellboe injury.
30:09
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to get his elbow bit like a Kmart long chair in a few weeks because that he has no tinden strength in his elbow socket hasn't been rehabbed the right way because they're a poverty franchise that's trying to win.
30:22
[SPEAKER_01]: when they don't need to, and I'm going to get forced to watch Marcus Mario to get beat by 30 on Primetime when on my Christmas break, Greg, after I've worked all so hard for an entire semester, okay, I have to watch Marcus Mario to on Primetime in December.
30:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want that.
30:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So please for the love of God change.
30:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think all of us the favorite cult?
30:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
30:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Please for the sake of the league, the sake of the league.
30:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes me want to stab my eyeballs out when I look at the TV and see NFC's prime time.
30:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I get to what I get to watch the James Winston or JJ McCarthy or you shit me.
31:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure the giants are on Sunday and Monday night football eight more times before this year's over.
31:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you Dave.
31:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you Will.
31:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you butter for your contributions to this week's Colts Report and Colts Washington Preview.
31:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I have to break down and actually put the name of their stupid team in the graphic for this game.
31:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They had the chance to name themselves the red tails, which would have been the perfect name and they just blew it.
31:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not that upset that they were politically correct and switched from red skins.
31:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm upset that they blew it with their name and same with the Cleveland baseball team.
31:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They had such great opportunities.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The name there seemed something cool and they just blew it and I'm just that pisses me off.
31:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, commanders, are you serious?
31:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the worst name in sports in the Guardians is a second.
32:00
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
32:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And Cleveland had the spiders right there available for him.
32:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Washington had the red tails right there available for him and they took stupid names instead.
32:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And it pisses me off and it probably shouldn't, but it does.
32:14
[SPEAKER_02]: and i just don't have anything on the two of yours rants so i uh... i've got nothing on that we got to have something you can read about now you're in a book i can read about the cardinals i could probably read about that thank god as favour it's a lot of the colds win i've been crushed
32:40
[SPEAKER_01]: For too long, please.
32:42
[SPEAKER_01]: If I've got a wake up at 930 on Sunday, at least give me a victory.
32:48
