00:00Very curious to get your take on on Matt Eberflew's talking up the running game. Hey, I got an idea

00:07Why don't we run the ball? Maybe that'll keep teams from

00:10From blitzing and you know, they've got to respond to this. They have to do something and that seems as good an idea as any

00:18Well, yeah, you know after the game

00:22Sunday night guys. He said he thought the running game was okay in the loss at Houston, obviously to

00:29Anybody watched it. It wasn't okay. I mean were there a couple okay runs. Absolutely. Sure

00:36as a whole it was

00:39Entirely underwhelming

00:41Especially in a ballgame that's close

00:43It's not like they had to give up on the run to try to pass their way back into the ballgame

00:47But I but I'm here with good news this morning guys. Okay, I am bringing good news to the show the Indianapolis Colts

00:55Through the first two games of the season

00:58have surrendered

01:01474 rushing yards Joe Mixon of Houston

01:06Went for about a buck 70 and the opener against this Indianapolis defense

01:11And then the Colts headed up the Lambeau Field this past weekend

01:15and Green Bay without Jordan Love said we're going to play Malik Willis and we're going to try to just run the football and

01:22The Colts had no

01:25Ability to stop that run. So so they've surrendered

01:30237 yards on the ground per game

01:33Easily the worst in the league given up

01:375.1 yards per carry there is the antidote to what ails the Bears running game?

01:44Besides maybe a coordinator who doesn't want to call a ton of run place

01:48You got to run the ball

01:49Especially without DeForest Buckner who may not play Sunday against the Bears in the middle of that Colt defense

01:55Which is already porous and susceptible to a good running game
