Speaker 1 (00:07):
I you the number one team in college football a
bye week before Pasadena to then hopefully played for the
national championship. Meanwhile, the Colts.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I've got my take.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Tony Katz ninety three WIBC, Good Morning, jamb joins us.
He is the voice of sports in Indiana on ninety
three five one seven to five of the Fan. Before
we get to EU, let's talk about the Colts. I
texted you and I said, Shane Steiken has lost the
locker room. The question is am I writer? Am I orown?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well? By the way, Tony brought to you by eld
Smith Plumbing three one seven nine two seven seven one
age six Eldsmith Plumbing dot Com. I don't think you're
completely wrong, but as I told you in my response,
I thought that the Steelers over a month ago pulled
back to curtain on this team at the time, even
when they had a greater level of health, and kind
of show the rest of the league that this is
(01:04):
what you do to get to them. And I think
where you're right, Tony, is this this team this season again,
even with better health, not now, but with better health,
they've proven they can play when they're on easy Street,
when they're in rhythm when there's not a bumpy ride,
but when the road gets rough, they go away. Now
I don't know if that is entirely quitting on the coach,
(01:26):
but obviously they've taken on the personality of something that
once things start to get tough, they really struggle at it.
And I'm talking about the offensive line. I'm talking about
the defensive lines, where you need to be tough and
you need to overcome. They have just shown us they're
incapable of doing just that. And now obviously the injury situations, Tony,
(01:48):
they're done eight and five and it's over.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's brutal. I feel for Daniel Jones in ways I
cannot comprehend. It's an Achilles issue, which is, you know,
the Achilles heel of Indianapolis sports. This is just this
has become a refrain that's just too ugly for words.
Finally finds his place, finally finds his rhythm as a
guy who can manage a team, make smart decisions, not
(02:13):
make mistakes. And it's very obvious it wasn't just last week,
it was the week before that as well. He has
been dealing with this injury that has affected everything and
the Colts didn't come clean with everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
No, they didn't know and obviously didn't protect him, and
I don't think the Colts did, nor the coach put
him in situations that obviously made it worse. And then
yesterday we saw the outcome of all that. Here, I'll
flip the script on you. Would you sign him to
an incentive related deal because he's a one year guy
and he's going to be a free agent. I signed
him to an incentive type of deal and keep him
(02:48):
around until he overcomes this particular injury at some point
next year because all these questions you and I are
going to go through here relatively soon about how this
team is going to be made up, because they're in
the worst spot of all time for an NFL team
where they where they currently resigne as far as record
injuries and mortgaging the future on the Sauce Gardner deal.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, so Sauce Gardner goes down, Daniel Jones goes down,
and I you know, some things you can't control, but
attitude is something you can control. And if those guys won't,
the meaning Shane Steichen, who I've always liked, and Ballard,
who I've never liked, I expect the new CEO, the
(03:38):
new head of this team, to make the changes that
are necessary in that place. There's a lot of good components.
We've shown that they can play, but someone has to
be able to shepherd them through the hard time with
absolute belief. Talking to JMV the Voice of Sports in Indiana,
your IU Hoosiers defeating Ohio thirteen? What's that?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I thought I would see this before, Tony. It's so
odd we're having this conversation, but so enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Thirteen to ten over Ohio State and any time it
was Ryan Day loses and I'm like, I do not
know what it is about looking at him that is
just a little awkward. But to me, it strikes me
as a little awkward that you take the victory, even
as coach Signetty said, I'll take luck certainly. But now
(04:27):
you look at the college football playoffs, you take a
look at taking on either Alabama or Oklahoma. Who would
you rather play in the Rose Bowl?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Probably Alabama the way with they saw them look against
Georgia in the SEC Championship game. I will tell you this, Tony,
I never thought I would see an IU team like
we saw on Saturday, to where they matched and overcame
the physicality of Ohio State that has always been an
issue through the last thirty matchups, you know, just getting
(04:56):
swamped or overpowered or out cuffed by Ohio State. They
matched and over came that. That to me is the
overall difference. And the other thing Kritzignetti identified last year
in Columbus what he needed to do to be competitive
with Ohio State and went out and did it on
both sides of the football up front, and that was
(05:17):
a parent and one of the big reasons why they
were able to overcome and get to where they are
right now. These a long time. Are you football fans
out there? They deserve this? It was an incredible environment
and really Bema to me would be the choice. Really,
I don't think anybody cares because this has been such
an unexpected dream type of ride for who's your football
(05:39):
fans out there? Really is incredible and so is their
head coach.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
When it comes to the possibility of national championship, who
do you see is are you going to make it there?
And who do you see them playing? Well?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I will say this, I think ultimately Ohio Face will
be back in the mix they were a year ago.
They don't have to be know and the number one
overall seed uh to make it. I mean, it's going
to be tough, There's no doubt about that. But I
will say this also, Tony, I think Notre Dame not
being involved probably helped out everybody else in a bracket
because they were arguably playing as well, if not better
(06:13):
than anybody out there, and they were kind of left
out of this damn kind of they were left out
of this particular dance.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
To that point, Notre Dame saying, you know what, we're
not playing a ball game. We're done, Thanks, goodbye. I
love this decision. I love the MAXI I love saying
to the NCAA forget you and your sister too.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
What do you say, Well, they destroyed the entire Bowl system.
It's already been destroyed, Tony, don't get me wrong, but
they destroyed it with that particular decision. And yeah, it
makes it makes sense to me why you'd want to
go in. I will say this, if I'm an NFL
player going to the next level, why would I want
to jack around with a game like that? When we
got left out when clearly we should have been in.
(06:51):
I mean, I know that it's kind of a Poudy
act to do, but I think sometimes it's necessary necessary
to take that particular stand. And you know how many
of there guys would have probably opted out anyway, considering
their standing and the upcoming NFL drafts. So yeah, it
probably does make more sense than it does it in
this case. And I can understand why some feelings are
hurt in South Bend and around because they definitely deserve
(07:15):
to be involved.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, I don't think it's actually taken as Poudy maybe,
but maybe Skip Bayless will think so, but what does
he know. I think everybody else says absolutely this is
the right move. There are futures to consider, including the
future of Notre Dame, and this position will be taken
as one of pride and of stronger and I think
it's going to help them in magnitudes in the long run.
