  [SPEAKER_02]: You are listening to the Colts Report with Will Rutherford and Sam Frick, and it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 0:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to this in Jordan in a sports report, Colts fans for another edition of the Central Indian a sports report with Will Rutherford and Sam Frick.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sam is off covering girls basketball tonight as he does.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: For ANEC sports, go check it out if you're into high school basketball.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is great.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sam Frick, but I am joined by Will Rutherford of the strictly biased podcast great podcast this week.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Go check that out as well.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: We're here to talk about.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: the cults and what's going on and first we're going to start with Philip Brewer's apparently going to be the starting quarterback on Monday night and what the heck are they thinking.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know that they are thinking to be quite frank with you.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're thinking that he gives them the best chance to potentially salvage this season and make a play off run.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I tend to think after watching and watching the tape from Sunday night that he's not the quarterback back and do that.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going to, I guess, uh,
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: give my opinion to the experts.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: If Shane's second thinks that it's the best decision, then I guess roll with it.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a professional football coach, but I would think that if Anthony Richardson were available and he's been medically cleared to return to practice, you would take him off IR, give him a week of prep as the starter and roll with them.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're choosing out to do that.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting, but this is the most win game now Monday.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, so they've
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: it's difficult to say that he's a professional he had complete
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: control over how his career went up to this point.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think there's been some questionable things in the past and then in terms of the tapping out, you know, things that clearly he is not doing behind the scenes that we're not seeing that don't allow him to be a starting quarterback at the NFL level.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's easier to get biologists and college when you have all of the resources that are coming to you to make sure that you are successful rather than
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think to go out and actively make a 12 hour or 14 hour work day, like these professional quarterbacks have to do.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's clearly has not taken that step forward of his professionalism.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wish him well in his next opportunity, but right now, it just seems like he doesn't have any future with the goals.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: who if you don't throw a pass, you just use him as an extra athlete to hand the ball off to Jonathan Taylor near Abdullah and throw short passes and use Tyler Warren a lot.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Then try to throw out Philip Rivers who not only is an embarrassment waiting to happen, but is an injury waiting to happen and isn't good enough to lead your team to win against
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather just run the ball 50 times.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and you might try to get that list jobs and tailor the issue with that is that with the Riley littered.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: You required the defense to account for about 11 player, which under Philip Irversary may be able to play 10 on 11, because you know the quarterback really is not going to be a threat.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like Riley lenders that match up and to change up.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: with them having to account for him, you know, with linebackers.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, it begs the question that I haven't seen if Anthony Richardson is going to be taken off of the IR this week.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's still only Tuesday to add an off day today.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think we'll learn more tomorrow on Wednesday if he's off the IR.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine there's a package.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine that after what they saw, there's a package for Richardson or
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of with you.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of hope so too because what you saw, the way they played in Seattle is not sustainable.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: The San Francisco's defense is nothing to no slouch defense in their own right.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bob Salas, but an excellent, the coordinator.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would argue that the 49ers are one of the best coaching jobs in the NFL that season with all the injuries that they have had.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a team that is 10 and 4 for a reason.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: They play a really tough schedule.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're a good football team.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you have to, I think, account that they're not going to just show up and roll over for this cold team on Monday and I football, especially when they have an opportunity to clinch for the playoffs.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is an all hands on deck.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just can imagine that you're going to have two backup quarterbacks.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: and not have a package for either one of them when they're both dual thread athletes good with their legs and you could use them in short garden situations to make the defense have to account for that extra player.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Only throw passes when you need to like football was played in the 1940s.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of thought that they were going to have a situation like that but Tyler Warren as far as a wildcat package that was not shown on Sunday.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It makes me question kind of what they're doing because I just, I don't know how you watched a week at Philip Ears in practice and thought, hey, this guy is going to be able to just sling the ball around on Sunday.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He clearly wasn't.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's 44 years old for a reason.
• 5:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was out of the game for five years.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like the arm velocity and the arm speed just wasn't there.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think to deliver a ball past 30 yards.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that takes out here's the way from the offense.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: That makes it easier to
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: bottle everybody up in a 30 yard had a field span where you can keep everything in front of you not allow when you big place right because for a purpose, quite frankly can't get the ball and you further mix it harder for Jonathan Taylor in the box because you're not as worried about the on-game, you're not just worried about throwing.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just unsustainable.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see this going well.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: After a week at Philip Rivers on tape, I'd like the adjustments, the mental games, the checks that he made and that game begins Seattle.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like that is not enough for this team.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think to win football games against three, really good opponents.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nine and five is the worst record of the culture.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna see the rest of the way out.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville's 110 games, San Francisco's 110 games, and Houston's on their way to 110 games next week.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: All three have been playing incredibly well, probably all three, you'd say, are playing their best football right now.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Titans, of course, are one four in a row against not very good teams, but they do this year.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Have road wins in Seattle and over the Rams.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So they definitely can play on the road.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: These three teams are going to play.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: These are three of the pin best teams in the NFL.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just in all honesty, we're playing the top third of the league, your last three games.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just, you saw when Seattle made the cults try to beat you with their arms.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in the cults could do that.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They bought them Jonathan Taylor up, you didn't, wasn't able to get anything building in terms of long runs.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: They kept him inside that tin yard span, just made it difficult for him.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: He had the fight for every yard he got.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I see San Francisco is going to do probably the same thing.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to try to put seven right in the box, make you beat them outside, make you beat you, make the cult beat them with filibrabbers, and I don't think it can happen.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't need their own fortunately.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said it on strictly bias that released on Monday, I thought the Colts best chance to surprise teams was Sunday against Seattle.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have tape on Philip Rivers.
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have a game plan for Philip Rivers.
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't know what you're going to look like five years retired at 44 years of age.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Since discos got a week of tape now, they're going to scheme up to shut him down.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to bring a ton of blitz packages.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be nasty.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think if there's an injury risk in a game, it's this week.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, well, let's talk to some good news on the coach for it.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Lyatu Latu might be an actual football player.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've kind of been saying it to you all year.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's better than what the number suggests.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's not somebody that is warranted of the 14th pick in a draft.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't check, but he's taking the very next pick.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's good.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is a, he's a plenty serviceable NFL defensive end.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think his athleticism shows he's able to go out and pass coverage and drop back and kind of give them a change of pace more of an outside linebacker.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that there's some TJ Watteness game.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think he's as good at getting home at the quarterback as his teaching what is.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have the instincts for sure, but he is.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: The reason that he has had success is his athleticism.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought last week though, he beat some blockers.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: He showed some toughness.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: He just was disruptive more than any time I've seen all year.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought he played a great game.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he was all over the field.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was all over the statute.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're happy with his progression.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's turned into an average.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Defensive ended the NFL level.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the cults have had much more than the average at the defensive end position about 14 years, but it's good to see the date.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have a bracket at kind of, you see the development happening.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: And also, I know we've been saying, well, stats don't tell the story, your main prats, not very good.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he's been really good the last three or four weeks.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: He might be a keeper.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been better.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still think that he there's a lot left out there in terms of the cold slime vacuum room.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think side of Franklin's plate's bad the last four weeks.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been not existence uncovered.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't match up well in man against running backs or tight ends.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just, he just looks overwhelmed.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I get these a captain.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know he's been a long-term tenured soul, but the production just doesn't match the talk that you hear from him in the media.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like your main threat.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the T somebody that you like is your second or third lineback.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Linebacker, more of a will linebacker.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'd signed by him back for probably more than anything.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: will see if the cult decided to bring him back, but as of as far as a waiver pick up, he's been, he's definitely outproduced what you thought to be.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, last week's leading receiver was for the cult's.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Michael Pittman was 32 yards.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: A mere Abdullah with 32 yards was a drilling.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: The cult's really good group of wider receivers had 57 yards combined.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: look, once again, Philip Rivers, congratulations.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a really nice story.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Don't go out again and embarrass yourself.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be embarrassing.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I can tell it's just, and he's, and I'm worried for him, man.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know it sounds weird, but I am.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just not maximizing the town to do have on your roster.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: He is not going to maximize the town of Tudor Warren, the Michael bitman out peers or Josh Towns and quite frankly, Josh and Taylor for that matter as well because the fees in there, their playing stop, Josh and Taylor and their forcing filipurvers to end the game.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can't not do that.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can't win the call to game at this point of his career.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he can score more than 20 points.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think what you saw on Sunday is about his peak of what you're getting at this point.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to magically get better this week after another week of practice.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like what you saw is what you're getting.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's about practice that he is going to start and I think it's going to cost change.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I can just jump.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: And should, I think this is it.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is the end of all that.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start fresh.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been saying that all year.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: kind of came into the season thing in that and then they convinced me otherwise and the kind of panic moves they've made the last few weeks seems desperate to me and it seems like they probably know their fate as well.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's disappointing seven and one to missing the play offs right now doesn't look great for your reasoning.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I expect to see if they are not able to
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I told you coming in.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that 10 wins got you in.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think 11 is now what you got to go for.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It means I need to win now.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Did I, I think Houston's going to get to 11 wins?
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think LA gets to 10 11 wins now.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: The court's only hope is if the Raiders be the Texans.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's not a good place to be.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And if, you know, 20 points is the most Philip Rivers is capable of it's probably not going to be good enough against a 49ers team that in the last few weeks of scored 34, 26, 41, 26, 26, and 37.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to be good enough.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you can expect your defense to hold San Francisco and no touchdowns.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you can expect your defense to perform that well in two weeks, so if that's what you're making on, you might as well just not even turn the game on and just be happier watching whatever else you can, whether it's curling, college hockey, college basketball, turn that on, don't watch the cults.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: The cult always had to send them.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: The cults are going to prove everybody in the media right, they have it in on that they could.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that as foolish as we were on this cult team, I think in our hearts, we kind of knew that this was still a possibility.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: and they can have a collapse like this.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: We can't do that.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: We haven't just been thinking.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were saying it even at eight and two.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: We knew this whole thing could go away.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it has.
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we've been proven right.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think we were on the right side of all of this to be quite honest with you Greg.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that we'll look back and say, you know what?
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: We were, we were right about a lot, but this cult's name, and that's an unfortunate spot to be in the Pyreases in Dree.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the worst sports fan moments in sports history to win this night.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much to Will and Sam will be back for our Monday Night Football preview, which will be out first thing Sunday morning.
• 14:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Please look for that.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: And of course, we will be reacting to the 49ers game on Monday Night.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Please join us for that one as well.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And if you would, please do us a huge favor and share this podcast with a Colts fan in your life and help us spread the word that the Central Indiana Sports Report is talking about what Central Indiana Sports fans are talking about every single day.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Central Indiana Sports Report is a product of ITG media and I love Susie.
