Full Show: With The Colts Giving Up a 1st Round Pick. Was the Wentz Trade a Success? - a podcast by The Ride with JMV

00:00-JMV opens up the show with the Pacers loss to Minnesota. He discusses if we can officially judge this team after 23 games, Caris LeVert’s lingering back issue, and where they go from here. He then dives into the Colts and why with Frank Reich it seems like he gets the most blame after a loss and the players get all the credit after a win and what other NFL teams have that dynamic.

28:23-Indianapolis Sports Media Handyman Greg Rakestraw joins JMV and they start their conversation talking about the product of the High School State Finals last week and some of the main discussion points after the games. They then talk about CFB news and whether or not the Brian Kelly to LSU news is shocking anymore in this day of CFB, and whether it is easier to win a National Championship at ND or LSU.

45:18-PFF Data Scientist and Betting Expert Ben Brown joins JMV and provides some stats in trying to decipher the Colts abandoning the run in the 3rd quarter vs TB, how Frank Reich is as a play caller compared to other Head Coaches, where Kwity Paye ranks among rookie defenders, if the math checks out that Erik Fisher is far worse as a pass blocker than a run blocker, and going around the NFL and looking at other teams.

1:11:27-JMV opens up the phone lines and gets calls about if the Carson Wentz trade was worth it now that it is almost guaranteed to be a 1st round pick, analytics in football, and Taylor not playing in the 2 minute offense.

1:22:04-The Athletic’s Zak Keefer joins JMV and they talk about Wentz being worth a 1st round pick, if there is tension between Ballard and Reich with how Jonathan Taylor is used, if Matt Eberflus or Chris Ballard are more to blame with the poor defense, and the future at Left Tackle.

1:46:10-JMV gets a call about whether Carson Wentz or Jonathan Taylor are the face of the offense and if Wentz is a franchise QB

1:57:51-JMV closes out the show giving away Darius Rucker tickets!
