0:00.0	What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackle, and it is Friday June 20th.
0:22.3	TGIF Am I right? Sorry I couldn't resist. All right now that I lost some listeners, we got to talk
0:31.6	about the Indianapolis Colts today. Really interesting team that, well, man, this is a contender. They are
0:40.3	contender, and they have a running back who looks like he's going to take another step forward after
0:45.6	a big end to his rookie season in Jonathan Taylor. Carson Wentz coming off of that disaster,
0:50.4	but a new lease on life. So before we break down this squad, let me just remind you that we do
0:56.3	have a contest going on. It's a pretty good one. Help me out and I'll help you out. Review the show
1:02.0	on Apple podcasts, rate the show, and in your review, leave your Twitter handle, and you're
1:07.3	entered into win a rant t-shirt podcast artwork. It's pretty cool. And hey, it's free. We'll pick a
1:15.2	winner in July. So get these in right now. And like I said, help me out and I'll help you out.

1:56.7	healthy. And obviously losing key players from the entire season before the season started wasn't
2:01.1	good. Wentz was rattled early on and being rattled early on had a, you know, it had a compounding
2:11.0	effect where there were points in the middle of the season where he was missing obvious open
2:15.1	receivers. It seemed like all he wanted to do was throw the ball extremely far down the field.
2:21.0	And that was that. And couldn't really execute anything. And then, of course, having Jalen Hertz
2:26.0	come in. Jalen Hertz wasn't that great. But he kind of made Carson Wentz look even worse in the
2:31.4	process. So now he goes to Indianapolis. And of course, a lot has been made of his relationship with
