Here we go Tuesday, August 19th.

I'm AJ Hawks sitting in for Pat as he travels the world, I believe, right?

Boys doing something pretty awesome. I think we'll all see it eventually.

Football!

It's what we do. It's August 19th. I know sometimes people think there may not be a whole lot to talk about in the football world, but guess what there is? Oh, coming right off the top, we had some breaking news hit about 45 minutes, maybe an hour ago.

Nine-year NFL vet Darius Butler is jumping out of his shoes. He is so excited.

Daniel Jones has been named the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.

Clap up, boys. For Dio Yeah. Hell yeah. Excuse me. You know, it's a big day. Big day. Big day. Be to believe for a long time, man. Derrys, but let's go to you. Obviously Indianapolis Colt legend, nine-year NFL vet.

You know everything about football.

So the fact that Daniel Jones was announced starting quarterback today, I guess what does that do for the Colts? What does that do for the team? And were you expecting this? Or did you think Anthony Richardson was good? I was not expecting it. I didn't know. I didn't know which way I was going to go. I'm not, you know, shocked, you know, but AR, he had an opportunity.

DJ, Daniel Jones had an opportunity as well. as well. A.R. I felt like it was probably his job to lose so he couldn't beat out Daniel Jones. And the

people that I've talked to, I guess around the organization close to it, who have seen the

battle, didn't seem shot, didn't seem surprised. So that lets me know. And I said it yesterday. seen the battle didn't seem shot didn't seem surprised so that

lets me know um and i said it yesterday the locker room won't be surprised you know this as well if

it's a quarterback battle you probably weren't around many quarterback battles thinking of the teams

you play with um but if there's any anytime a quarterback battle is happening the locker room

shouldn't be surprised when the starter is announced so it's another another opportunity for Danny Dimes. You know, he is somewhat a relatively young quarterback.

We have seen more of him on the football field. So, AR, still younger, still more upside.

But you got to think about it. Shane Stuykin, Chris Ballot, they're coaching for their job.

You know, Harley taking over the ownership role. Everybody knows they're coaching, they're playing for their jobs day in and day out. So this is the decision made with that in mind. Consistency was a big thing for Shane. Based on my timeline, doesn't seem like Coach Nation is very, very excited. It's been a revolving door, and you drafted the guy in the top five, so you had high expectations.

But this is where we are right now.

We made some moves, and now we know which direction we're going.
