00:00Yeah, maybe I'm just drinking the Kool-Aid at Indianapolis. I don't know, but Shane Steichen
00:11to me is just the next level offensive minded coach in the NFL. And you saw what he did
00:17with that Eagles offense a couple of years ago. You saw that he took a team that didn't
00:21have a healthy Jonathan Taylor or a Jonathan Taylor period for most of the year and didn't
00:25have Anthony Richardson for what, 14, 16 games, somewhere in there, right? They only
00:31had him for three games, really, at the Richardson and got to the playoffs with Gardner Minshew.
00:35Like, let's, let's, let's put that in focus for a moment, shall we? Like that is an incredible
00:40job of coaching. I'm not letting things fall apart for a team. And I am so excited about
00:44what Anthony Richardson could be. Anthony Richardson has a cannon for an arm. He is built like
00:49a linebacker and he runs like a running back. That's something I don't know if this league
00:54has ever quite seen. And that is, you know, we talk about the show, a Otani stuff and
00:57our one about like, we're witnessing something really historic here. As much as I thought
01:01CJ Stroud last year was the most NFL ready quarterback by a country mile last year to
01:07come in and be good. Even though people are talking about Bryce young, if he wanted, we'll
01:10love us all.
01:11It was always CJ Stroud, but from a fantasy perspective, Anthony Richardson is the more
01:16exciting quarterback because of the rushing equity he brings. Now, will it take time for
01:20him to figure some of the nuances of quarterback out? Yes. He is an extraordinary young man
01:26though. I mean, any interview you see with him, I would love to interview him, but you
01:31watch all the combine stuff. You get an opportunity to really kind of get this kid. And just like
01:35CJ Stroud, he has that intangible leadership quality. He has that thing where he has that
01:39drive and it was really unfortunate. We only got a glimpse of how special it could be last
01:42year, but when he was in last year and healthy, he was averaging 25 points a game, a quarterback.
01:47That's a huge number here for a kid, his first month into his NFL career. It can only
01:53get better. Michael Pittman is a very strong reason why Michael Pittman is one of the more
01:59underrated wide receiver ones in the league. You look at these yards totals here, 1069,
02:0397 receptions, five touchdowns. I think it could look a lot more like 1100 to 1200 yards.
02:10I think it could look like over a hundred catches and I think it can look like eight
02:13touchdowns. Now the thing with the touchdowns is, you know, as you get closer there, you
02:17have Jonathan Taylor and you have Richardson. Also, you have to worry about the red zone.
02:20So those guys are going to monopolize a lot of that. So the touchdown total could be underwhelming
02:25like this projection. I don't think it's going to be a five. I don't think it's gonna be
02:28that underwhelming. I think Michael Pittman is one of these. I think the last guys were
02:33people, if you know, you know, and if you're drafting him, you are ready for it because
02:38there could be a very special season for him. Another guy too, that's really starting to
02:41get a lot of positive buzz out of campus. Josh Downs, Josh Downs, more of that deep
02:47threat, take the top off the defense kind of guy. They drafted AD Mitchell too, who,
02:51you know, certainly has a, I think a work in progress and interesting guy, another guy
02:54that's got some speed and some downfield ability, but Downs seems to be the guy that the connectivity
02:59is there with. Jelani Woods, a tight end. And of course the aforementioned Jonathan
03:02Taylor at running back. The Colts are set up here for a good situation. The Colts are
03:07set up that if Jonathan Taylor comes in, has a full healthy season, that one, two combination
03:11of Richardson, Jonathan Taylor, what that's going to allow is some incredible play action,
03:17some incredible play calling, some incredible things where as you're a defense, you have
03:22your hands full with this team in a big way. And I think when you're looking at the Colts,
03:27that's why they become a really tough thing for any defense, even to go to like the Texans
03:31to handle. So I'm looking at the Colts right now is that if the Texans don't live up to
03:36expectations and expectations are something that's tough and it wears on younger teams
03:41because they're not always sure how to deal with it. The Colts are a team that I think
03:46is where the inverse is, where they don't have as high of expectations. It's all potential.
03:51And they already last year kind of exceeded any expectations that they possibly had. So
03:58expectations. I just made a new one. It's a good one. You did. When expectations meet
04:03potential. There you go. And they have exponential potential. There you go. I'm Joe Pizzoppia
04:09and I approve this message.
