Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I we're back in another edition here of Colt's Corner
with myself Kevin Bowen. It is a week thirteen and massive.
That is the simplest way to describe what Sunday we'll
be inside of the Soil Stadium, and we'll probably say
the same thing next week with at Jacksonville playoff odds.
I was looking at some numbers and I get it
still a little early for that, but you know, if

(00:23):
you play around count that the Athletics Playoff simulator, two
wins for the Colts would push their divisional chances north
of ninety percent and two losses would drop it to
fifteen percent here right now, And if you split, you're
probably looking right out of a coin flip, and you
probably you know, set up some huge games to close
out the season when it's Jacksonville and Houston there the

(00:45):
final two weeks of the year. So lots to get
to on Today's Pod culture in that walkthrough season. So
I don't have an injury report just yet, and didn't
have any practice availability like we usually do in person,
but Shane Sychem did ask them any other injuries out
out of that Chiefs game, and he said no outside
of Ashton dol them. But I guess let's start with
doing go to be an injured reserve. You know, when

(01:08):
you think about it from a special team standpoint, yeah,
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he's a
guy that creates two to three first downs a game,
and whether that is offensively like he did on Sunday,
or his ability to make a coverage tackle, punt or kick.

(01:28):
He's just a very very unique player. And you know,
he probably has three to four roles in this football
team that I don't think George Odom getting promoted all
of a sudden checks all those boxes. Of course, to
those roles, Lakwon Treadwell is gonna have to do a
little bit more. And you know, one thing to point
out about their wide receiver depth chart right now, with
the trade of ad Mitchell and then Dolan going to

(01:50):
IR for a month, you really need Michael Pittman Junior
and Alec Pierce to stay healthy. And you know, those
guys have been pretty durable, you know, throughout their careers.
I know Pierce said couple concussions, but you know those
guys have pretty much been healthy, you know, in their
respective seasons. But right now, the backup outside wide out,
that third wide out would be treadwell. And I think

(02:11):
we've kind of yet to really see him offensively. Obviously,
he's a very decorated player, frankly going back to his
old miss days, and you know, former first round pick,
and you know, had a nice preseason finale there with
Riley Lennard. But you know, duland I are again, he
will be out four weeks and you look at these
four games, like your field goal favorite Sunday, you're it's
probably gonna be a field goal type spread next week

(02:33):
in Jacksonville, same thing in Seattle. You know, one way
or the other. You know, I have a feeling this
is kind of gonna be the coin flipping nature to
the rest of the season. And guy like Doolan can
make a player too. That is the difference in the game.
So you know, I get from a contrastual standpoint or something,
or you know, he's listed as your fourth wide out.
But I think most fans, I think I'm speaking to

(02:54):
a pretty intelligent group here that knows full well what
Ashton Doolan can mean and does me to this football team.
The Daniel Jones injury situation, I I mean there's not
really a whole lot there. I guess it's a bone bruise,
but you know, no one's really saying anything more on that.
I fibula again is the injury. They said the list

(03:15):
him is limited today for that Wednesday walk through, but
then he'll be good to go. And really, Shane Syck
can try to downplay it, you know, are you gonna
need to manage it through the rest of the season,
And you know he really downplayed that aspect to it.
You I'll go back to what I said on Monday.
I definitely thought there were some moments in Sunday's game
where you could see him favoring it. But then you know,

(03:36):
also there were times where I didn't necessarily think that,
And really actions speak louder than words, right, well, a
little bit of actions from dani Zelones in the game.
But also if the Colts had any concern over Jones
in that Kansas City game, wouldn't they have brought Brett
Repping up for injury insurance just to have a third quarterback.

(03:56):
I mean, it's something they did. They haven't done since
Richardson suffered the eye injury, but because something they did
all the time with Sam Ellinger, you know, having that
third quarterback there, and it's not like their roster is
in a dire injury situation. It's where they can't afford
to make such a roster move here. So I get
anthy Richardson's still out, so don't expect his return any

(04:17):
imminent nature on that aspect to it. You know, a
couple other items, just going back to Monday. I mean,
I do think not to rehash everything Jonathan Taylor related,
but you know, if I just had to kind of
summarize it, I would say, you just let Kansas City
off the hook a little bit. That's obviously my opinion.

(04:38):
Chane Styke, and I don't think on the regret meter
has a whole lot of it. You know, maybe that
final drive there a midfield, which we talked about about
four or five minutes ago. I did think that was
kind of a clock opportunity for you to at least
make Kansas City's final drive have to respect the clock.
I never thought Kansas City had to respect it. Honestly,
the Colts had to respect it more than Kansas City did.

(05:01):
But you know, if you go back and you look
at Taylor in these one possession games, I mean, you
have rowed him a lot late, and you know it's
not like you know, when you look at it, it's
you know, twelve carries against Atlanta and the fourth quarter
in overtime, and it's matt number against Denver and close
to that with Arizona. Even the Rams game was you know,

(05:22):
a good sized number there, and if you look at
the Chiefs was just three in the fourth quarter and
overtime there. The Steelers game, you were down by so much.
I think it's you know, you were pretty much in
the full kind of pass mode at that point of
the game there, and you know, to me, it's just

(05:43):
so much of a you were able to let them
dictate to your own player, to your best player. And
I get there's a little bit of that at the
running back position, but I still think you can't just
throw in the towel that quickly, you know, when you
have a player like his talent there. So again, I

(06:07):
don't want to hit too much more on it, because
we did talk a ton about it earlier in the week,
you know, I know Eddie and I mentioned it on Monday,
But there is a little bit of like, boy, if
Shane doesn't have a whole lot of regret if he
doesn't think there's any limitations to the play calling with
the fibula injury. You know, to me, he should have
some regret about the you know, backed up at your

(06:30):
own goal line. To me, the second and twelve and
the third and twelve was really playing with you know,
major major fire there. You know, does that mean that
he's just very frustrated with the Daniel Jones you got
in the fourth quarter or not. Not not that there's
anything you can do about it, but you know, just
from an evaluation standpoint, does you just feel like flat
out that their passing game and that quarterback didn't make

(06:51):
enough plays? Period? And I think that's probably you know,
a fair statement you could have there when it comes
to looking back on that on that fourth quarter. There
a couple other stichen items, just to go from earlier
in the week, he said replay assists told him to
know a great catch was good. I guess I should
say the official near the Colt sideline told Shane when

(07:13):
Shane was asking him that replace assist said it was
a catch. There's no point in challenging at that point.
I think that's one of those where, you know, had
they called it and completed in the field, then it
probably doesn't get overturned. Had they called it a catch
on the field, which they did, it probably doesn't get overturned.
That's probably how I'd view it. I never got a great,
great angle that it had definitely hit the ground there,
and then I know a lot of debate on the

(07:33):
overtime decision, you know, Shane mentioned on Monday, it's kind
of a fifty to fifty split analytically to where people
are around the league right now and taking the ball
versus not taking the ball. So again, you have a
ten minute period. Each team gets a possession, even if
you score a touchdown to start. Obviously, the biggest con
in taking the ball is you lose the know what

(07:57):
you need to do on fourth down element to it.
That would be the advantage of going second. I know
what we have to do, et cetera, et cetera. Shane,
I think falls in a little bit more of the
boat of field position with the kickoff touchback rule going
to the thirty five, I'm probably going to start that
opening drive from the thirty of the thirty five and

(08:18):
as long as I get some yardage there if I punt,
like the Colts had to you're going to probably pin
them back. You know, I think it was out the ten.
If I'm not mistaken of that Kansas City drive. Let's say,
even if it's the fifteen, let's just say the thirty
five yard line for the first team that gets the
ball versus the fifteen yard line for the second team
that gets the ball. That is a twenty yard difference. So,

(08:41):
you know, I think that is notable. I can understand
where he's coming from on that. And then if you
get a third drive, which I get might be a
little bit far fetched, but you know, Kansas City's one,
you know, third and seven is ever worthy away from
having that decision to make from their own twenty or
twenty four. I think it was, then you're going to
get the ball back for that third, third possession. Now,

(09:02):
you know, hearing his rationale, I still go back to
what I said on Monday. I would have been hesitant
to send my defense back out there after the fifteen
play ninety hoard drive. Yeah, at that point they've been
on the field for what eighty some plays, So at
that point, I yeah, that would have played into it.
But it doesn't sound like Shane necessarily you know, falls
into that boat with that rationale there in terms of

(09:26):
the overtime. Okay, let's focus a little bit more now,
Colts Texans again coming up one o'clock on Sunday, you'll
get Iron Eagle JJ Watt. I actually think the spread
has risen a little bit. I think it was four
and a half last I saw so a little bit
more here on the Colts side of it here as
a favorite. I went over those numbers earlier again to
you know AFC south wise. Just it can change in

(09:49):
a hurry big time here. You know, one thing that
you know is kind of scheduling quirk with how the
Colts schedules played out this season. It's their first home
game now in a month, and then they won't be
home for another couple of weeks. So really, if you
look at about a six week span, seven week span,
it's the only Colt home game, and the Colts have
been better at home. You know, I don't act like

(10:09):
they've been bad on the road, but if you look
at it, I mean the point totals forty thirty eight,
thirty three, thirty one, thirty one, twenty nine as they're low.
That was Denver and that's obviously that Denver defense, and
then just flat out it'll be good on good on Sunday.
The most points Houston is allowed all season is twenty nine,
and you know, it's a second rank scoring defense against

(10:30):
the first rank scoring offense. It's the second rank totally
yardage offense against the first ranked total yardge defense. So
just so much good on good. But you know, again,
the Colts have been better at home. The yards per
carries about a yard and a half better, touchdown to
interceptions are better, the yards per attempt is a full
yard better. Now the schedule I don't think has been

(10:50):
you know, menacing at home, but still I think those
are all things to point out. Let's start with the
Houston offense. You know, we'll continue to monitor the CJ.
Stroud situation. Sounds like a few more things to clear,
but the thought is he will be clearing can Cushier
protocol and be out there. And Jalen Petrie for their
defense is another guy to mention as well in the
same boat. I mean, you know, I think Colts fans

(11:11):
know Petrie, but he is a great player for them,
very physical, very attacking, critical piece to their back end.
So that'll be a name to watch as well as
he's kind of in the same boat as Stroud, But
you know, I I fall into kind of the same
boat as I usually do with Houston. Nico Collins is
Nico Collins. He's a flat out stud. But I just

(11:32):
don't trust the Texans offensive line, even though some of
the faces have changed a bit. You know, when you
look at Nico against the Colts over the last three meetings,
and the numbers are eye popping one one ninety five one.
Those are the receiving yardage numbers the last three games.
And honestly, what's most impressive to me is the catches

(11:54):
versus targets. You know, for a wide out, you usually
don't see that number being super consistent, but he had
twenty six targets in these three games and twenty two catches,
So you know, he's easily, you know, outside of Pukinakua,
right up there with any wide I I think the
Colts are gonna play this season. You know, we'll see

(12:15):
what he's at healthwise. He took quite the shot I
thought on Thursday night against Buffalo. But I mean, this
is why you have Sauce Gardner and Shaveri's Award. And
you know, if you look at the cornerback duos that
the Colts have started the outside cornerback duos in those games.
You know, the list is Juju Brents and Jalen Jones
and you know, Dallas Flowers and Darryl Baker. I mean,
that's not Sauce Gardner and it's not Javerious Ward. And

(12:39):
I think people are really torn on well, actually I
shouldn't say that. I would say mostly people feel like
the Colts defense played pretty well on Sunday, which again,
you know, it took me thirty minutes to get into
on the Monday Pod. I think I'm there, but there
is a lot of stuff that kind of gives me pause.
And you know, I heard Mattel saying, Cults Round Table Live.

(13:01):
It is one of the wilder stats i'd heard. It's,
you know, the biggest yard differential the Colts have had
in a game since twenty seventeen, which I'm like, damn.
I mean, Colts have had a lot of bad teams
and a lot of bad games in the last whatever
eight years, nine years, and for a two hundred and
forty yard differential to be the most was surprising. Mean,
Kansas City still had you know, the most yards they've

(13:22):
produced all season long against you. But you know, again,
I firmly believe the Mahomes of Blueprint is the Mahomes
of Blueprint. And you know, for the most part in
the Stroud era, they have done a good job in
pressuring him and getting after him. And you know the
anar Arumo history. I think it's just one game. Don't
believe Nicol Collins played in that game. He actually threw

(13:43):
for about three fifty against ant Arumo. So we'll see
how he comes back after missing about a month. Obviously,
the defensive end duo is is everything. It's they are
a and Will Anderson Junior and Daniel Hunter. They can
go wreck a game. They can do what TJ. Watt
did again, they had that aspect to him. They're third
and fourth individually in sacks right now. They've been particularly

(14:05):
good in this wind streak, you know, the Davis Mills
three star win streak. I want to say they've combined
for an eleven and a half sacks in these three games.
So yeah, again they are just a great, great duo.
And you know, how much do you chip how much
do you leave Warren and how much do you put
Taylor over there? You know, then does that limit what

(14:29):
your route tree looks like? And for a quarterback right
now that's having some questions and some struggles, how much
does that impact him? So all of that is very
much at play. You know, Tamiko Ryans is kind of
handed the defensive coordinator play calling duties to Matt Burke,
So it's a little different there than what it has
been in some of these past meetings here. So you know,
we'll get into the predictions after Twitter questions. But so

(14:52):
much of the game I think centers for Houston to
come into your building and be victorious, one of those
guys has to wreck the game period. I think if
you are looking at a quiet ish and by record,
I mean like not just a sack or a sack
and a half, I mean like they take the ball away,
they directly make a play or two that leads to

(15:13):
a turnover. What you know a lot too, did you
know on that opening series there in Kansas City. Okay,
let's get to a little Twitter time here. We got
a few questions to get to and certainly safe travels
to everybody out there on this Thanksgiving Eve. As I
record this and hopefully this will quench a little bit
of your commutes. Or I don't know, maybe you just

(15:36):
need to lock yourself in the bathroom and act like
you're going number two for a while and want to
get away from your family. Zero judgment here, This from
Ryan KB make me feel better about Daniel Jones and
his quarterback ceiling. Tell me it's play calling. Tell me
it's a white out, it's not getting separation. Tell me
that Jones is a legit top ten guy. We always
have seen eye to eye in the QB situation. I
don't want a game manager. I don't want to depend

(15:56):
on my play action. I want a quarterback that we
can one hundred percent lean on as a play make.
When you have an MVP candidate and Taylor downfield, success
should be off the charts. I should be locked up
in an institution for this next comment. But I'm one
more bad QB game away from wanting to see Anthony
Richardson of this revamped old line and Tyler Warren. Well.
As far as that last part is, Ryan, I wouldn't
hold your breath on Anthony Richardson, you know, even be

(16:19):
healthy enough to necessarily cause such a question to be asked.
You know, right there, Ryan, you say yourself, I want
a quarterback that we can lean on as a playmaker.
If anyone who's listening to this podcast for longer than
a month, that has always been my you know, Mantram,
I've been such a draft and developed believer. You've got

(16:40):
to find a guy, particularly in MAFC. You got to
have that guy, et cetera, et cetera. So you know,
tell me that Jones is a legit top ten guy.
And there's no way I can sit here and tell
you that whatsoever? You know, does this recent play lead
more towards franchise tag versus long term deal? What about
the tag? You know, this cap hit all being absorbed
in that twenty twenty cap. Is that an ideal situation

(17:02):
for you after you just traded for sauce? And these
are all very difficult questions, all of it, But right
now I think there was real Daniel Jones concern. And
I go back to those Blitz numbers. You know, when
the pressure has been around him, Like a lot of quarterbacks,
you know, it's either good play for you or it's
good play for us. Well, early in the season, the

(17:23):
Colts were producing some of that, but in Jones's career
he hasn't been that, and now lately those situations are
continuing to arise. And I really think for Jones and
a little bit more Stiching Era, just again, what a
massive game coming up on Sunday. You know, when you're
in that first year and you get that Week eighteen
winning get in that, it's kind of a honeymoon phase

(17:44):
still Denver last year, Yes, I mean that was a pivotal,
pivotal game, but like this is a game in next
week as well to where all of a sudden, now
you play from ahead in Jacksonville, they have to come
and get you, and they need two things to happen.
And I think that is why I look at Sunday
in just such a critical, critical game, especially two on

(18:05):
the road right after that. But yeah, I mean, as
far as Jones is concerned, I cannot you know, I'd
be lying to you if I said, oh yeah, let
me talk you off the ledge. Everything is golden here,
you know, the lack of shots deep You know again,
I hated just two targets to Alec Peerce. I just
think there are to me and I say this to

(18:26):
Eddie on Monday and see you guys given the cold
skill group right now, like naturally, Tyler Warren's going to
fall into his touches. But for me, you have to
dial up multiple downfield shots to Alec Pierce's game and
let Jonathan Taylor touch the ball a little bit more
in that fourth quarter, especially, I have a one possession
game where you have the lead and you're on the road,

(18:47):
and you know, even go back those numbers I mentioned
to you earlier in the podcast are the one possession
games and how much you were touching it, how much
Taylor was touching it, you know, and a lot of
those wins there. All right, let's go to King. He
goes fit. Should let go of my super Bowl dreams
on Sunday? Don't think Shane Steichen is a super Bowl
caliber head coach. He makes blunders that we think he
learns from, but your averts back often like not running

(19:08):
getting past crazy when Daniel Jones is shaky. We got
a pretty decent line of questionable decisions from him. I
think he is an advantage. He is an advantage against
good coaches, but against great coaches, I don't think he
can hang. So my question is, can you please tell
me why I'm wrong. I want to be so bad. Well,
you know, it is kind of funny when you look

(19:29):
at it. The Colts have lost to three Hall of
Fame quarterbacks and probably three Hall of Fame coaches. Right,
I assume Sean McVay is on that trajectory, and my
Tomlin and Andy Reider at ethinitely hall of Fame coaches.
So yeah, it's there are times where I am as
confused as you are. King. He's a smart, smart dude.
There's a lot of things that I like. I mean,

(19:51):
the good news is you're at eight and three. You're
gonna have more of these moments to prove yourself and
to rewrite what you know last week's chapter at least
is you know, to me specifically with the whole you know,
players not plays getting away from Taylor, I don't consider this.
You know a lot of people will be like, Shane's
done this twice this season. I really don't. I mean,

(20:11):
I know Taylor didn't touch on the fourth court of
the Steelers game, but at that point you were legitimately down.
I think Pittsburgh had done a really nice job. I
don't even think you had like the twenty seven yard
spark in there like he had on Sunday, and again
scoreboard dictated you to probably get away from him Sunday.
I don't think his apples to apples. The Kansas City game,

(20:34):
to me, is not the same as a Pittsburgh game.
So I understand we can kind of get into this
narrative a little bit here of like, oh my gosh,
you know he did it again. Well, I mean, you
go back and listen to what I said after Pittsburgh game.
I just don't feel it in that same light. But
I just, yeah, that's kind of I guess how I

(20:55):
view things right now with Shane. A couple of questions
about Anthony Richardson Walter old Dayner, thank you for those.
Will Anthony Richton play in a game again this year?
He was in the locker room again doing a little
Papa shot action with this Florida sweatshirt on us all
earlier today. You know, I asked the question right after
the injury happened, either that Monday pot or Wednesday pot.

(21:16):
After the Arizona game, will Anthony Richardson put on a
cold uniform again? And I sit here, now, what are
we a month and a half removed from it? And
that question to me has zero clarity in a positive
direction on it. I did get a question or two
about Riley Leonard. No, this is a I I assume

(21:39):
this is a Daniel Jones ship one way the other.
One way or the other. This is where things are going.
That's how I would view it. This is a Daniel
Jones ship for the rest of the season. And you know,
there is part of me that thinks Jones is earned
earned that. But your your depth chart plays into I mean,
you're really gonna throw Riley Leonard out there like a

(22:02):
I think we're premature on that for Jones's own play,
to be clear. But also it's not like you know,
you have backup sitting there that have a proven themselves,
b been in NFL games, C are healthy Craig As
with the Colts exposed against the Chiefs, Colts played man
coverage and forty seven percent of the snaps because they
have stud corners. But you have the Chiefs to beat
them on big plays in the fourth quarter when it

(22:25):
mattered the most. Are we hyping Ward and Sauce up
too much? Again, I think the Mahomes blueprint is different. Now. Granted,
I do hold this defense to a very high standard.
And that's where I look at Sunday. I'm like, yes,
you got zero complimentary help when the game was on
the line, but damn three fifty two ninety play drive

(22:50):
in the games on the line. That's where I am
at a little bit of boy, I just can't all
of a sudden, you know, tell you to have deserved
after all you did was eat one bit of your day.
I no more young parent commet than that one right there.
But again, Sunday is I mean Sunday, I feel very
confident in the Colts defense, like it is a to me,

(23:10):
it's a very Nico Collins or what from Houston? Offensively, Hey,
he's Woody, Mark's gonna get going on the ground. Here
is Christian Kirk gonna have a notable day. Dalton Schultz
gonna death buy a thousand paper cuts on you. Here,
let's go to Neil. Can you give my girlfriend Heather
a shout out? How about that, Neil? I'm taking her

(23:32):
to her first NFL game in Jacksonville? Oh boy, week fourteen, man, Neil,
how about that? I Heather shout out to you. Let
me start there. I hope you're having a great Thanksgiving
and let's just say, I hope the Colt's history is not.

(23:52):
You're the indicator of your relationship turning out history there, Heather.
If you don't fully comprehend that, Neil can explain it.
But yeah, that should be at least a great weather game.
And who knows, maybe that's what's needed, Neil and Heather.
Neil get on any of the fifty yard line, maybe
that'll make the difference in the Colts. Do it by
that pool up there in the upper deck, Maybe that'll
make the difference and the Colts finally winning down there,

(24:14):
He goes, do you think the Colts are running out
of steam lately? Or do you think we were playing
better competition? Yeah? I largely think it's a better competition.
I do you know the conversation we had a few
weeks ago. Have the Colts answered all the questions? No,
they hadn't answered all the questions. They had answered the
questions presented to them at that point. But now the
new test is here. You'll go back to what I

(24:36):
said earlier about these you know, Vegas lines the rest
of the season, whether it's environment, you know, more road games,
whether it's better defenses, whether it's teams in you know,
playoff competition. Has said on the last week's podcast by Record,
Kansas City is the easiest team you'll play the rest
of the year. I mean, starting on Sunday. Every team
you play the rest of the season, the final six
games are better than five hundred. So I think it's

(25:01):
a little bit of better competition. Yeah, you know, maybe
some of it again, is you know, running out of steam?
Is that another way to say, you know, seventeen week
grind all of a sudden, the teams have seen you
on film, Maybe more of a blueprint there. There's probably
some truth to that as well. Let's down with the
wake spy k guys, if Forced Buckner was healthy and

(25:21):
in the Kansas City game, would we have won? Do
you agree? Also, I personally can't stand Chris collins Worth
or Tony Romo's announcers. Do you have any announcers whose
style you don't particularly care for? You know, one thing
again to mention about Buckner is you know, the fact
that they're optimistic he's going to return this year. I
think it's very big news. And yeah, I mean I
do think that game, given how your defense couldn't get

(25:42):
off the field, had a definite feel of it that
you know, Buckner would have made a difference in that game.
I mean, all you needed was one play, you know,
one play, and you're probably doomed enough to win that game.
So I would say yes. But you know, again, the
fact that he sounds like you're Optimisity's gonna come back

(26:04):
is great, great news. Yeah. I you know again, I'm
not a big I'm not a big ref fan. I'm
not a big announcer fan. I know there are a
lot of people out there that just despise officiating cruise
and despise announcing cruise. That's why I mentioned the announcing
cruise on the podcast. I know a lot of people

(26:24):
care about him. You know, there's definitely ones that I
like or enjoy, you know, for example, from a Big
ten standpoint, I'm not a big Stephen Bardo guy. Yeah,
I can get why hearing Romo every week would probably
wear on you. There's part of me that's like being
in the game. You know, he like he made a
huge deal. For example, out of that Josh downs miss
on third and four and like in a vacuum, You're like, man,

(26:48):
you're really reacting like that on a you know, late
third quarter, third and four of a game. It's whatever
two scores. But I think he know, you know, having
played the game at such a high level. I think
you know, against an opponent like that, you play with fire,
you know. Is it a little too full throttle? Again?
Is Gus Johnson going voice crack in the first quarter? Yeah?

(27:09):
I can get that, but I don't know. There's part
of me that I would rather have that passionate insight
than than not, to be honest with you, But again,
I've never really been a huge announcer guy or official guy. Okay,
let's give a pick here, Colts four and a half
point favorite, coming up forty four and a half the

(27:31):
over under. You know, make sure those game breakers do
not wreck it. And that would be Collins, I would
be Hunter, that'd be Anderson Junior. But ultimately I'm gonna
go Colts twenty sixteen. I'll go Colts. I know, a
low scoring game, maybe it's too low scoring there. I
just don't trust Houston's run defense, and I'll they've done
decent job against Henry and McCaffrey, but still I don't
fully trust it. I and I definitely don't trust their

(27:53):
offensive line. Now do I trust the colts pass rush.
That's a fair counter. I think I'd like to see
if few more resources contributed that from a blitzing standpoint,
and just again make Strout uncomfortable in his first game
in a month. But I'll say the cults get this
done here twenty sixteen, A sincere safe travels in a happy,
happy Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for and grateful

(28:14):
for this time of year. Hopefully you can relish in
that and spend some really quality time with family and friends,
and we will recap it all coming up on Monday.
Cults and Texans, Happy Thanksgiving, everybody, Thanks for listening.
