 Now we done did our preview of this Colts and Ravens game so you already know how I feel like it's gonna go. But it's always nice to get a different perspective from one of my boys who is a Colts fan on the Ravens and Colts Monday night football. So team keep it clean. We have a very, very special guest on this episode. So let's go ahead and bring him on in so he can tell you his own personal side of how he feels like this game is gonna go down. Let's get it. You two team keep it clean. What's going on? We got my boy Colts in the building and we hit a goal for this game that we got coming up Monday night football against the Colts. And first let's the people know who you are, what you do, tell the people about yourself and what they can find you at too. What's going on everybody? It's your boy Colts of Shock. I'm a YouTube content creator. Found me on TikTok, Instagram and on YouTube. You can find me on Twitter as well. All the same handle Colts of Shock. But on Twitter is Colts of Shock underscore. Make Colts content, personal opinion channel. You know, I'm not no analytics guy. We're just a fan, normal fan talking Colts. That's where you can find me man. Yeah, so that's about man. And let's just jump straight into it man. How has Carson Wentz been looking to you? I actually enjoy his game. Of course he has some mishaps, some miscues still there when it comes to setting his feet in certain passes, you know, missing the open target. But overall in general, I think he's been a bright life for the offense. Like if Carson Wentz wasn't out there even with two bad ankles, I think the offense doesn't have a chance at all. But I mean, he's been out there performing probably one of the most consistent offensive players on the team. But I mean, he's finding his groove after the last win against Miami, the first one of the season. He looked really good, but I think he's been getting better and better as the weeks progress and how he gets healthier too. So I think it has a lot to do with that. But I think he's been a pretty solid quarterback. I'll take him over any other roster, quarterback on the roster at the moment. Oh, okay. Who is that? Jacob E. Ehringer, how do you say his name? Jacob Eason, we got Sam Elliger and Brett Helig is the backup. I don't mix the two quarterbacks together. My folks. All right, with Carson Wentz, what is he still injured? Because I'm tired of seeing that meme go around. Yeah, but Carson, he's still hurt. He still has the ankles taped up. But I mean, last week he got the tape lighter. So I mean, hopefully on Monday he don't have no tape at all. But I mean, as long as he can walk, I want him in that pocket, man. But I mean, he's getting healthier as the weeks go on, but he's still banged up. Now, is it both angles? Because the reason I ask is because I keep seeing that meme where it's like, Carson Wentz just should have stayed home today and it's the dude like in the line and he got cast on both his ankles, man. Yeah, it's both ankles, man. It's both ankles. So has he looked like he's been like immobile at all? Like he can't run as much? How has he looked with the injury? Shockingly, he's still running the football. Like against Miami, he had a big run for I think about 20 yards. He's still running when he has to, I mean, but the offensive line isn't there. So he has to get out of the pocket if he, because I mean, he's a gutsy player. I haven't seen him throw the football out of bounds once. So he just goes for it every time. Very gutsy, but hey, I like it. Daredevil, that's what I call him. I ain't mad at that, man. Now, you talked about the offensive line. How that was usually one of the cold strongest points they considered to have had before. I don't know about this year, but have had before one of the best offensive lines in the league. How has the offensive line been through the first four games of the year so far? To be honest, it's very disappointed. And I won't really blame it all on the offensive line, but I have to do with health. Nobody on that offensive line has been healthy this year. We even seen Big Q go down this year with that back injury. And even though our backup Chris Reed, I think he used to play for the Panthers. He's been the backup for Big Q. He's been a success story so far, but overall in general, there has been, everybody on the offensive line has been hurt, literally. Our injury report is probably 10-man deep every week. We're gonna get the injury report later on today on Wednesday, but it's been rough. It's been rough for the offensive line, like no consistency, nobody's been, the only person I've known that's been on the offensive line from week one to now is Davenport. And he's probably the weakest link on that spot. I mean, there's no knock on him, but he just can't seem to get it together. But the offensive line just been banged up. I mean, it's good that we got Eric Fisher back, but he's still trying to work with his kinks as well. But just for now, it's not the offensive line that we're used to seeing. And still sticking with the offensive line, how has pass protection been? Have they been letting a lot of guys get to cost and win throughout the first four games or what? Oh yeah. He hasn't really been sacked a lot, but the Harrys is definitely there. He's definitely not settled in the pocket. The pocket collapses very often. But when he does have that time in the pocket, you see the success the offense gets, the chains moving, everything's consistent when he does have time. But in general, the protection has not been there because I think our offensive line is more of a run blocking offensive line than pass protection. But if we're healthy, we can do both, but we're not healthy. So the pass protection really hasn't been there for the coach. Man, sounds like you describing the Ravens almost of how you talking right now for real, man. Yeah. But speaking of run blocking, Jonathan Taylor, somebody who last year, especially with both of them having been rookies, got compared to J.K. Dobbins, a lot who's better. It's coached fans, Ravens fans going back and forth, letting the claim be known for why they're running back is better, but now we can't really compare it to because one of them is out for the year. So how has Jonathan Taylor been so far this season? Still ain't hit his stride yet. He had a very good second half, second half of the year, his rookie year. This year he's starting off still a little slow, but I think that has due more to game planning than him actually getting touches. I think last week he got the most touches he had all year so far, and he got over 100 rushing yards. So I think what we've added more into the game plan and everyone starts to get more adjusted and it starts to realize that the season started and it's not the pre-season or more. I think we'll start to see regular Jonathan Taylor, but he did look good last week. So hopefully that'll carry over to Monday night, prime time, Coach Fowley on TV. We're looking forward to seeing that. Yeah, hopefully it won't. Now, Hines, I feel like I'm messing up his name. What is it, Naim Hines? Yeah, you said it right. Oh, wow, okay. Naim Hines. Wow, I usually mess up people's names, but so that feels good to get it right. Now I know he's really a big on special teams for y'all, but how have they been using him on offense too? Still incorrectly, like I said, the game plan is just not there yet. Like I said, last week, we've seen the bright light, maybe because we finally won, but I feel like everything is starting to get the flow of motion is starting to look more stable. Naim Hines hasn't been used correctly yet. There's a lot of people that still hasn't been used in the offense. I think week three, we only use three receivers and two running backs that whole game. Naim Hines, he's a dual threat, he'll run out the backfield and can catch. I feel like he should be more useful, but he's just hasn't been used either at all. I mean, the game plan is just, it's been a roller coaster. It's been a roller coaster for real. Now, a wide receiver. We got Michael Pippman Jr. That's somebody that I like coming out of college. And we, I think he went to USC, I believe, right? But big frame, big body guy, physical, and who else? Y'all got, I want to say Pascal, T.Y. Heldon, of course he's been hurt. So who, what other receivers are there that the Colts have that are helping out, that are stepping up, that are contributing? Who else is there? To be shocking, the receiver that's been the most consistent, and that's every year, is Zachary Pascoe. The most consistent where I receive him out of the whole core. Other than that, the other person you'll probably see on the field getting the catch every now and then is Michael Pippman Jr. You'll get Paris Campbell on maybe a jet sweep, or one of those funky formation plays. You know, this is his first year being healthy, so he's out there on the field. But yeah, like I said, they haven't been getting the wide receivers involved really, but most of all, most of the catchers will go to Pascoe if not anybody else. Okay, all right, good to know. And as far as the tight ends, who's been the special or best tight end for the Colts so far? Because you know, Raven, sometimes they, when it comes to covering the tight ends, so the first two weeks, I mean, we did have Darren Waller and Travis Kels, so that was some tough competition. And then the last two weeks, and both of those guys went off, but the last two weeks, we had Hockinson and Noah Phant, and they were pretty quiet for their games. But who would be the Colts tight end, the go-to guy, their premier tight end? Who is that? The number one tight end, the guy that I want to get the most reps out of all the receivers in general, is Mo Alley Cox, big, tall, brute guy, man. But he used to play basketball for VCU. The dude is just, he's just a freak of nature. And he's just, he's that tight end, you will want on your team. Run block, decent or outrunning, and can catch the football. He's just that much of a dominant force. And we seen that last week with two touchdowns. He got the one where he lost Eric Rowan in the back of the end zone, and then he got one of just walking straight in the field, and then a big, he had a big play for like 20 yards, and it took maybe like four to five dolphin players to bring him down. So he's just that, he's just that good of a tight end. And Carson Wentz loves to hit the tight end. So if he gets involved, it could be a good game for sure. See, and speaking of tight ends and Carson Wentz, I just really, I just knew that this off season, y'all were going to end up trading for Zach Erz. I just, I just knew it, but it obviously didn't happen. And, but yeah, we'll see how that tight end does, man. And it kind of makes me cringe a little bit when you talk about how we said more, more Ali Cox, how it took for dolphins players to bring him down. So that could sound like either he is that strong and you did say he's a big guy, or it could mean dolphins did some bad tackling. And Ravens at times throughout this season, they've struggled with bad tackling. So hopefully we ain't got to see none of that this game. Now, moving on to special teams. Y'all kicker. I don't want to say it like this, but I don't remember his name, the kicker with the glasses. That's all that was in his mind, huh? Call him specs. Hey, okay, I like that. And shout out to Madden, because I was playing Madden and I'm Madden 22 and this game came up on the schedule. And y'all were kicking the field goal and I looked at Madden and got it in there. So I was like, okay, Madden, I see you. So how has he been this season? Oh man, he's the bright light to be honest. The games where we struggled, he was the only one putting up points. So it was a meme. Yeah, Coach Twitter, they was like, the best person on office to put up points is the kicker because it was bad there. But like, yeah, he's really consistent with at the kicking job, you know, coming out of Georgia. So he's a really solid kicker for sure. Okay, well, that's good to hear from y'all. Now we'll go to defense now. Defense. I've been here. I saw you quote tweet somebody on Twitter today who said, my guy with my favorite guy on your team, because of his name, Rock Your Sin. I saw somebody call him a bust and they listed some other players too. And you were like, no, no, stop, don't say that. Don't say that. So how's y'all secondary? Because I know Malik Hooker, I know he was, he had been hurt a lot. He went to the Cowboys. But how is the state of y'all secondary right now? How has it been throughout the first four weeks? Man, secondary has been a dumpster fire, man. And speaking of Rock Your Sin, I said, I stand with him. I said last year, you know, he had a little rough, but he's going to get his top talent. So it's going to be like that. He wasn't a top pick coming in late in the draft. And this year he's been the best corner on the coast roster. He's actually been solid. I mean, he's had been banged up, but he did practice today. So Roman has it that he might be available for this Ravens game, and we're definitely going to need him out there. But our secondary, you know, if our pressure is not getting to that quarterback, they have a long day. That's just the explanation of the secondary's position. But Rock Your Sin has definitely been the best corner for the coast this year. So and how has the pass rush been? Because you know, yeah, pass rush helps out a good secondary. Secondary helps out a pass rush. It goes both ways. So how has the pressure been from Coach Defense on opposing quarterbacks? Yeah, man, the pressure hasn't been there. I mean, nothing really wowed me yet. Like I said, last week against the Dolphins probably been the best outing of this whole year so far. But I mean, we still got some brutes. The fourth, Buckingham had a quiet year so far. Grover Stewart, he's been really solid this year. Al Khadim Muhammad, he's been a starter for the edge rush. Nobody's seen that coming, but he had a solid training camp and practices. He's been looking good. He's getting most of the reps. He looks solid too. So hopefully we can bring all that pressure to Monday night. Hopefully they can go out there and showcase that. Like I said, it's a prime time game. Coast don't get put on television. This is your moment to debut your type of ability. If not, then you ain't gonna get no TV times. That's just how I see it, man. But I mean, this is the perfect chance for them to show up. Al Khadim Muhammad is the guy that Saklamar Jackson the last meeting. Hopefully he can do that again. But we'll be looking forward to seeing that. Speaking of guys getting sex on Lamar Jackson last meeting, I don't even remember if he did or not, but a pass rusher that I'm sure Colts fans are very familiar with because they actually went to battle with the Ravens years ago for his services when he became a free agent. And that was Justin Houston. Years ago, the Ravens were interested in him. The Colts were also interested in him, but he obviously made a decision and the Colts won out. And he put up good numbers for y'all. He was definitely a good contributor. And now he's with the Ravens. So what type of impact do you think Justin Houston can have on this game? Because I know, like, I'm sure for Colts players, they probably might have set it out loud. Like, oh yeah, last week wasn't unpersonal with Jacoby Brasette. Yeah, ain't no big deal, but they're probably thinking, oh yeah, yeah, this might be kind of personal. So with Justin Houston, how do you feel like what he can how do you feel based off of how your team has been doing and how the offensive line has been doing? How do you feel Justin Houston can impact this game or may not impact this game? I feel like he could really do it, especially with your guys' game plan. We know you're gonna send the house. We know y'all some good blitzes. That's all y'all do. Especially if he's coming off that right side, like I said, which has been weak since week one. If he's coming off that right side, I feel like he can have himself a nice little, a nice Monday night football game for sure. You probably pop off the screen every now and then. But you know, it's definitely gonna come down to your guys' game plan. Like I said, Davenport, if he's out there, it's gonna be a weak spot. I know Houston's good at stopping the run and our run game really hasn't been there yet. So I think he should have a decent game against us on Monday. I really do. Now that's something that is very concerning, especially for anybody that's a Colts fan, if the Colts running game hasn't been there because you gotta feel like with this game, that would play into the Ravens' hands if the Colts don't have a run game, if they don't get the run game going because that could make them very, very one-dimensional. And with them being one-dimensional, if the Ravens could just pass flush all night and the Colts don't have that guy at wide receiver who's really gonna take over, then it could certainly be something. So we'll see how it ends up going. Now, last year, I had felt for y'all when I watched that game, I wanna say it was against the Bills. I'm like 99% sure it wasn't a playoffs because coaching in that game from the Colts, it was just all kinds of bad. They had several opportunities where I felt like they could have won the game and they probably should have won the game, but coaching just made some really, really bad decisions. And they were almost aggressive to a fault. Now, I know the record is one in three, but is it a one in three to where it's like, coaching has been just really all kinds of bad or is it a one in three to where things just didn't bounce the Colts way? I think it's more of the didn't bounce the Colts way. It comes down to execution. The Colts game plan is there, but the players aren't executing. I mean, it ain't so much the Colts can do. I mean, the Colts can do. So, I mean, like I said, Michael Pittman Jr. definitely could have had maybe four touchdowns by now, but the passes didn't get to him in the red zone. I mean, he'll get it, like if it's third long or second and short, oh yeah, he'll catch that. But when it comes down to the red zone targets, Carson Wentz and MPJ just cannot seem to link up. So, and even on the defensive side, we could have had maybe five interceptions against the Dolphins last week, but everybody just seemed to have big mittens and couldn't catch the football. So, like I said, it just comes down to execution. If you can execute, you'll have a way better out and we wouldn't even be having this discussion about game plans at all. Okay. And probably the most important question of the day is Michael Pittman, is he still doing YouTube? Yeah, he's still doing YouTube. Yeah, he's still. Well, hopefully in this game, he'll be more focused on his YouTube channel and the numbers and stuff that he is on catching the football. So now, with all that being said, we talked about offense, defense, little bit of special teams too, even coaching. How do you think this game is gonna go? Well, to be honest, being as though this is gonna be a big game, I think the coach is gonna, I think they're gonna want this test for sure. I'm gonna look at this. We know how Lamar Jackson's gonna play. Nobody can really stop Lamar Jackson, especially in regular season form, do as a freaking animal. But when it comes to, actually, I think we can have a better outing. Last time we played you guys, it was like we lost, the coach beat the coach that game. We all remember the pick six with Philip River stumbling to fall over his feet. Jonathan Taylor fumbled that game as well. But like I said, if none of those plays would have happened, I think the game would have been way closer than what it was. And I think we have a very good chance at giving you guys a good run for your money. All we gotta do is go out there and execute. I said they're going there with the same mentality that they had last year against the, well that year against the Green Bay Packers when we beat them, where I can say had an interception that game with Aaron Rodgers as well. If we go in there with that same game plan, Michael Pittman Jr. had to break out game that game as well. Go in there, watch that film, put it against the Ravens, even though Lamar Jackson's more mobile, I think he's still a dog just like Aaron Rodgers. You come in there with that mentality, you win the football game, give us a win and field goal. Okay, okay. All right, so we're gonna see how it goes down, Monday night football. And you already know, I'm gonna hit you up afterwards regardless. We talk about the games. I appreciate you hopping on.
