Shane Steichen

is why Ballard was fired for signing that crazy contract to Daniel Jones.

Shane Steichen, my brother, get ready to enjoy your family this holiday time because you will not be in Indianapolis.

They got to get this shit over with.

No limit tank is rolling.

And eventually they're going to have to, I think they've lost four in a row, right? They're going to have to make a change at some point, probably.

And Shane Steichen is not considering a quarterback change yet for the Colts.

At running back...

You got Tyrone Tracy and Cam Scadaboo leaving with injuries.

But the whole angle here is just this offense is in a really rough shape.

And by the way, Shane Steichen again today talking about how, you know, Daniel Jones has proven it.

This is why I trust him.

Like, what are we doing at this point? You have given this long tenured quarterback who has shown you nothing over a giant sample size, more leeway and more leash than the guy you spend a fourth overall pick on.

And I'm not sure.

would fit the bill for the Kevin Stefanski type of cycle.

Yeah.

That's all right.

Shane Steichen was asked if he's considering a quarterback change after the game.

No, I have not thought about a quarterback change because I got a ton of faith in Daniel.

The game plan today was to go in and run the football.

Daniel Jones.

And this quarterback room headlined by him that it just isn't delivering and Shane Steichen's refusal to even acknowledge a quarterback change.

And so I was, you know, I saw your tweet.

I had to laugh.

So from your perspective, when you hear that as a fan who, you know, you and your dad spent money to go watch this game and you want to see the best players play, I'm not saying Anthony Richardson Sr. is a savior by any means, but to have that level of, like, commitment to Daniel amid a 2-5 start, how does that make you feel?

Yeah, not good, James.

I wonder this, and we don't get a lot of, like, facial expressions out of shane steichen or like mannerisms ever at the podium but i did feel like after you asked the follow-up and he went through his follow-up answer and you said you know why why do you still uh or why have you not thought about a quarterback change he goes into like because i have faith you know picks happen that's football i saw like a visible yeah And I don't want to sit here and read into that, but I think for Shane, someone who answers the same questions a lot of the same ways and documented that, I thought that was a telling moment.

I wonder, James, do you think if it's gotten to the point based on how we all know Shane feels about Anthony Richardson, like I think it's widely held opinion that he doesn't really believe in him and then has doubled down on Daniel Jones, do you think We are at the point now where it is, it would be a bad reflection on Shane Steichen in his mind.

One hour down, one hour to go on this Big Chief Tire Monday.

In Indianapolis, Colts head coach Shane Steichen had to reaffirm that Daniel Jones is their starting quarterback, considering he has four touchdowns and seven interceptions, as obviously the Colts come here to Jacksonville for this Sunday's matchup, where the Colts haven't won in Jacksonville since 2014.

I would imagine that a lot of people were wondering if Anthony Richardson would get the start, but Shane Steichen said absolutely not.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like if it continues in this trajectory, you have to do something.

I don't know, because in my eyes, it's almost similar.

But the whole angle here is just this offense is in a really rough shape.

And by the way, Shane Steichen again today talking about how, you know, Daniel Jones has proven it.

This is why I trust him.

Like, what are we doing at this point? You have given this long tenured quarterback who has shown you nothing over a giant sample size, more leeway and more leash than the guy you spend a fourth overall pick on.

So he is such a key component to the orchestrating of the tricks and the three-card Monty defense and the shell game defense, which continues to befuddle quarterbacks.

You know, I meant to look this up last night, but the Colts, Dimes and the Colts and Steichen, they went a long patch of time without passing.

Like it was whatever and long, whatever and long, whatever and long.

Now the running backs are good, and their offensive line is a really, really good run-blocking offensive line, specifically on the interior.
