00:00sources Joe Flacco will start for the Colts today at Tennessee goes on to say

00:09that Anthony Richardson practice all week and will serve as the emergency

00:14number three quarterback he could play if needed they want to give him another

00:19week so Flacco gets the ball again Donnie your thoughts here's the issue I

00:25have now let's just go to the practice week people right let me be the doctor

00:28in the building you have your young franchise guy that you hope is gonna be

00:32the guy that's going to lead you which means if he can walk without having like

00:37pain where he has to sit down every three steps he would be your starting

00:41quarterback the fact that he's been unreliable to start his career so far

00:45that has been an issue now you have competent quarterback that it's showing

00:49his metal last year in Cleveland and now this year in Indianapolis I don't know

00:53where you go here with this and I'm not gonna go off the bench I was Drake may

00:58absolutely can't play like Duke can't play and he can't I don't want any

01:02Richardson my money right now it's after this quarterback cannot stay healthy and

01:07cannot take it yeah so this is again one of these bizarre situations where I look

01:17I know everything would suggest guys this is a whole bunch of nothing but

01:22it's in the report Lisey he could play if needed oh I'm sorry the five and Oh

01:30Indianapolis Colts can just let them they are two and three playing a

01:34divisional game I mean that is bizarre to me that they don't find this to be a

01:41spot where they're gonna kick it in their franchise quarterback no I agree

01:44and he puts up 359 last week it's up it puts up 359 last week in regards to that

01:56performance it's amazing that Joe Flacco might be the best backup quarterback in

02:03the NFL right now I I don't understand it it's Anthony Richardson is definitely

02:08hurt to some capacity but I'll ask you this for Tennessee I will ask you this

02:15for Tennessee are they doing the same for Will Levis are they starting are

02:20they starting Mason Rudolph to are they gonna start Mason Rudolph to let me

02:33compose myself here be a pro here's what I don't understand though every

02:39every single injury report thing for the Colts is making zero sense we we were

02:48hearing that Michael Pittman was gonna go on the IR and he was suited up injury

02:52he's gonna play today like none of this is making any sense here in Indianapolis

02:59it's not but you know Steichen wants to win this game he's got a winnable game

03:04they almost pulled it out against Jacksonville and he's got a quarterback

03:07that's putting up 300 plus yards and that was without potentially Michael

03:12Pittman in the second half and in that game right so why wouldn't you go with

03:17the hot hand I mean they're owing to on the road so far they have an opponent

03:21that put up how many yards in the win against Miami through the air did they

03:25get to 100 Mason and and Levis they barely got to that so with the second

03:32year quarterback that could barely throw for 150 yards you would think that this

03:37is a winnable game get back to 500 then if Anthony Richardson is your guy then

03:42you can move forward and utilize them but it's a different style of offense

03:47obviously with Flacco behind center than Anthony Richardson the RPO game isn't

03:52there he's gonna grip it and rip it like to your point about what he says

03:55and he's going through the progressions you can make the argument Indianapolis

04:00is in the similar situation then Cleveland was last year with Flacco

04:04with a quarterback that that wasn't really maybe as consistent as they would

04:08have liked and Flacco was putting up numbers and Steichen maybe says you know

04:12what I'd want to win in year number two I want to win football games
