00:00The Colts made the Joe Flacco thing official, but interestingly, Steichen said it's not

00:08only for this week, it's going forward.

00:11So this is not a one week, let's see how things go, and then we're going to put Richardson

00:16back in.

00:17They're playing Flacco for the foreseeable future as their quarterback.

00:22So they have smartened up there.

00:23They drafted this guy with a first round pick and they're going to throw away the key?

00:32That's it?

00:33They're giving up on this guy forever already?

00:36That's kind of weak and embarrassing if you ask me.

00:39I think they've got to take a look at themselves as to what they're doing to this kid because

00:45he's an athlete, he is a stud, and they are putting him in the cupboard for an old man.

00:50Now listen, I think Flacco's a better quarterback, but I think the bigger job here is to fix

00:57this kid.

00:58That's the job at hand.

01:01Flacco don't need anything, he can play.

01:04But they have to fix this kid Richardson, otherwise they're going to lose him, and they're

01:08going to eat it.

01:10Hard.

01:11Well, there already was some back and forth with that today.

01:16I saw Richardson, I guess the reporters went and talked to him, and he kind of said that

01:22Steichen didn't really explain to him why he lost the job, I guess.

01:27And then I saw Michael Pittman, the receiver, say I had to find out on social media.

01:32There's some disconnect right now in the Colt locker room, and that's going to be a problem.

01:37That's usually not good.

01:38I don't actually have a problem with Steichen.

01:40I think he can coach.

01:41And the guy that's been kind of bizarre for my money is Ballard.

01:46I think he's been running this thing, frankly, no one wants to say it, but kind of running

01:53the Colts into the ground the last few years.

01:55Yeah, they've done a very strange job.

01:59Yeah, here it was.

02:01He told me they're going to go with Joe.

02:03Did Steichen ask you why?

02:04No, not necessarily.

02:06So Richardson seems a little miffed as to why he's not playing this week, and the receivers

02:12have kind of given off the same feel.

02:14We'll see how it goes for the Colts in Minnie on Sunday.

02:17Well, here's an idea.

02:18How about the guy quit in the middle of the game?

02:20How's that for why you're not playing?

02:22He tapped the helmet.

02:23Yeah, he said, I got to come out, I'm tired.

02:26He's 22 years old.

02:27We don't need to really discuss this, do we, why you're not playing this week?

02:31You haven't figured it out yet, kid.

02:33Hasn't figured it out.

02:34No one will tell you, your agent, your girlfriend, nobody, your mom or dad, nobody will say maybe

02:40it had something to do with you quitting on the team.
