All right, let's get right to it. The year gets underway, of course, for the Colts coming up this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Lucas Oil Stadium on the microphone for that with the NFL on CBS. He is a friend of this radio station.

Always good with this time. Charles Davis will be on the call for that game. Charles, I appreciate the time. Let's get right to this as you have started to kind of break down, and at the beginning of the year, you know, we kind of don't know what teams are and who's going to be who.

But when you look at Indianapolis, what jumps out of you is perhaps an area that surprised you of either more efficient or more deficient than what you expected before you

really broke into who they are?

Oh, that's a great, great question.

I think surprise isn't the proper word, but I think maybe a realization again, once more

being reintroduced to the fact that this offense has plenty of talent on that side of the

ball. And I think they've done a nice job over the years. I know Chris Ballard catches a lot

of grief for different things. You know how it is as a GM, right? But if Ryan Kelly is going to be

gone and Will Fries, who came on and played so well before getting hurt, is also gone. Who do you have? Well, they've drafted in recent years. Tanner Bordellini ended up winning the center job before Danny Pintre even got hurt. And, you know, Matt, is it Gonzalez? I want to make sure I get this correct. Correct. Is I have a, yeah, thank you. I'm trying to remember for my draft days, all right? But Matt Gonzalez, he will have to prove that he can play guard because he's been a tackle, but they like his potential. And Braden Smith is kind of my north star for this. Many thought he wasn't tackle. Everybody thought he was a guard. He's done quite well at tackle. So I think they're doing a really nice job evaluating these positions.

So I really like this offensive line's potential going in.

And then all the people on the perimeter, drafting Tyler Warren, having Jonathan Taylor.

So, of course, it comes back to everything that we always talk about, right?

I mean, there's just no getting around it, is there?

What kind of quarterback play will they get with Daniel Jones becoming their new starter?

Yeah, and that's the, you know, here's what I mentioned earlier, Charles.

And I want you to tell me if this is the dumbest sports talk radio armchair quarterback thing you've ever heard, okay?

And that is that, you know, Daniel Jones is perhaps a quarterback that has a more defined

ceiling and a very clear understanding of that ceiling.

But I think if they know that going in, they can cater an offense around what he can do

and actually be reliant on the playmakers

to make plays as opposed to the quarterback.
