Summary
(00:00-26:09) – The Fan Midday Show opens on a Tuesday with Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook reacting to the news of Shane Steichen announcing that Anthony Richardson will be the starter for the Indianapolis Colts this season! Brian has so many questions as to why Steichen announced him as the starter now versus waiting until the last minute.
(26:09-41:51) – After the Richardson announcement was made, Jim Irsay posted on X a pair of emojis with his reaction to the news. Brian asks Jimmy and producer Eddie Garrison for what pair of emojis they would use to Richardson starting. They continue sharing their stances on starting AR.
(41:51-47:45) – Brian and Jimmy close out discussing how Shane Steichen should call plays with Anthony Richardson for the first couple of weeks of the season.
(47:45-1:13:02) – Colts beat reporter Joel Erickson of the IndyStar joins Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook on the Fan Midday Show to give his opinion on the nickname Brian tried to suggest, what he thought of Shane Steichen naming Anthony Richardson the starting quarterback, explain why they would make the announcement today, how beneficial Gardner Minshew has been to Richardson’s development thus far, and if he feel confident in the Brewers winning the NL Central again.
(1:13:02-1:27:15) – Eddie plays back some audio from this morning’s press conference of Shane Steichen and Anthony Richardson after the QB announcement. Brian questions what improvement Steichen saw because he did not see it.
(1:26:18-1:34:18) – The one o’clock hour concludes with Brian and Jimmy discussing the pace that the offense played with while Anthony Richardson was quarterbacking the Colts. They debate if it’s something that they’ll do during the season if AR is starting.
(1:34:18-2:03:25) – The Dean, Mike Chappell, of CBS4/FOX59 joins the Fan Midday Show with Brian Noe and Jimmy Cook to reveal how he took the news of Anthony Richardson being named the starter, if he believes that the Colts will have kid gloves on when it comes to play calling with Richardson in his first season, and ponder if this decision was solely made by Shane Steichen.
(2:03:25-2:12:53) – Brian and Jimmy start examining other areas on the Colts roster that will need to perform better to make sure Anthony Richardson’s confidence doesn’t waiver throughout the season. Additionally, they discuss how AR needs Jonathan Taylor out there to help make it easier for him.
