(00:00 - 15:44) - New news around the Indianapolis Colts breaks after the show every day. Yesterday it was the news that Anthony Richardson is out for the season as they will be receiving surgery on their AC joint following an injury during a game against the Tennessee Titans.

Richardson will still remain involved in meetings and be around the team learning while he recorvers.

(1:31:47 - 1:57:12) - Will Carroll joins The Wake Up Call to talk about Richardson's surgery and potential recovery time. He says some of the surgeons consulted would use what is called a "Tight Rope" technique. Would Richardson have needed surgery if he was either left handed or played a different position?

(00:00 - 13:46) - The Wake-Up Call begins on Wednesday with the Grover Stewart news that he has been suspended for six games following a violation of the NFL's banned substance policy. Kevin would have guessed so many other players before getting to Grover Stewart as a player getting busted for this offense. Will there be a trickle-down effect on the rest of the defensive team with Stewart's absence. (13:47 - 21:25) - Morning Checkdown (21:26 - 43:41) - NFL owners voted to move the ability to interview coaches currently employed in the NFL until after the Divisional round of the playoffs. College or unemployed coach interviews were not impacted. The Colts made some roster moves in response to the Grover Stewart news. The team just continues to lose their top talent week after week for a variety of reasons and there isn't really anyone on the roster to get fans excited for their replacement. One caller on if the Colts should have signed Julio Jones. (43:42 - 1:15:52) - Stephen Holder of The Athletic joins the show and gives his initial thoughts on the Grover Stewart situation. He was surprised by the news as he says most of these announcements are never expected. Holder interviewed Jim Irsay earlier in the week and got the story on Anthony Richardson likely being out for the year. Holder asked Irsay about some parallels between this injury and the Andrew Luck situation. Would Richardson getting surgery by the end of October mean he could be a part of the full offseason program next year? (1:15:53 - 1:25:06) - Browns and Colts are looking like it might be an ugly game on Sunday. The over/under is set in the teens. Cleveland doesn't really turn the ball over on defense, but they manage to get a lot of 3-and-outs in the first part of the season. Andy loves Myles Garrett. (1:25:07 - 1:31:13) - NFLPA sent out a reminder to players that there are certain parts of tainted meat that could cause players to violate the NFL's banned substance policy.

(1:31:14 - 1:59:03) - Zac Jackson who covers the Cleveland Browns for The Athletic gives a behind the scenes report on what Cleveland is expecting coming into Indianapolis. Deshaun Watson was practicing before, but probably still won't play. What young players are turning out and which ones need more development. Discussion about Bubba Ventrone and the possibility of him being a head-coach in Indianapolis. He was given an assistant head-coach position with Cleveland that likely lured Ventrone over there from Indianapolis. According to Jackson the Browns live in the QB and play caller's head. (1:59:04 - 2:10:36) - Pop Quiz (2:10:37 - 2:17:51) - Toady is the 8-year anniversary of the fake punt play against the New England Patriots for the Indianapolis Colts.

(00:00 - 13:11) - Tuesday's WUC opens to sad news as Anthony Richardson is done for the season as surgery seems to be the way the team will be going. It still isn't a 100% certainty but Jim Irsay said in interviews yesterday that Richardson will likely be out for the season. The news coming out of the Colts Camp seems to be a bummer for the past week. Some clips from head coach Shane Steichen about Richardson needing surgery. Rick Carlisle will be on the show top of the 8 o'clock hour. (13:12 - 20:24) - Morning Checkdown (20:25 - 40:32) - More discussion on Anthony Richardson's injury news. The probability of surgery or of rehabbing the shoulder. Kevin says that biggest thing he wants from this whole situation is clarity on the future. A bit of talk about the potential of where college basketball prospect Boogie Fland will be playing. Should the Colts already be thinking about drafting another quarterback? Kevin brings up the statistic that 1 out of every 6 times Richardson threw the ball, he got hurt. He also had a variety of different kinds of injuries. (40:33 - 1:11:44) - Pacers head-coach Rick Carlisle joins the show. Coach Carlisle actually had the chance to meet Colts head-coach Shane Steichen before the football season began. Moving to Pacers talk, Carlisle has really enjoyed the vibe of the team this season. Bennedict Mathurin is continuing to make strides as a potential future star. The team needs to work on fouling. Coach goes into detail about all the news draft picks and new signees, how they have performed up to expectations. The team has been picking up their 3-point shooting this pre-season. They are shooting 48 a game compared to the mid 30's last season. (1:11:45 - 1:21:50) - Is Shane Steichen going to change up the gameplan for the Colts next game? Less passing and more running. Steichen is always first to blame the coaching rather than the players. How much does that actually help the team though? (1:21:51 - 1:31:33) - More discussion over Stephen Holder's interview with Jim Irsay from last night. Irsay revealed that things are most likely leaning toward Richardson getting surgery but talks are ongoing. Talk turns to what are the other pieces that Indianapolis needs to address to turn this team into a championship contender. Several other players like Pittman are in a contract year, what can the Colts do if they want to keep him. (1:31:34 - 2:00:14) - Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star joins The Wake Up Call to discuss his story covering Michael Pittman Jr. and his reaction to Jonathan Taylor's new contract. Pittman thinks that every player has the ability to take a page out of Taylor's book when it comes to future contract negotiations. Given the Colts current injury concerns are they at risk of over spending on other position players in the short term. Atkins talks about how Richardson hasn't had time to fully develop a passing game. The Colts need to balance not bringing him back too soon, with teaching him how to stay healthy on the field. Which is a big ask for a 21-year-old rookie. (2:00:15 - 2:08:54) - Pop Quiz (2:08:55 - 2:18:48) - The Spanish announcers for Monday Night Football did not have a radio booth and were calling their game on the side of the field.

(00:00 - 15:51) - The show opens with a recap of the Colts horrific loss to the Jacksonvill Jaguars on Sunday. Kevin says he thinks that Minshew really wanted to prove himself in this game and then had a very out of character performance. Minshew threw 4 interceptions in the game. The Colts didn't seem to match the intensity that should have been there for a rematch against a divisional opponent you lost to at home earlier in the season. (15:52 - 21:55) - Morning Checkdown (21:56 - 41:31) - Colts special teams did not help their case yesterday. Andy says that Indianapolis has a small margin of error in their games and when your offense is struggling every other factor of your game counts. Kevin thinks that Minshew really starts to limit the offense with his abilities. (41:32 - 1:11:34) - Kevin found himself asking "why" more than "how" yesterday with a lot of the Colts play calling. Andy compares the amount of passes Minshew threw to a radio host who gets all his info out in the first segment. Minshew has played for multiple colleges and multiple NFL teams already in his professional career. He is the kind of player to have a chip on his shoulder. The guys start to take some calls about how one dimensional the Colts offense has become without Richardson. (1:11:35 - 1:22:25) - Kevin went to the Butler bowl on Saturday to catch some Bulldogs football. Anthony Richardson has really only played a handful of segments before potentially getting injured for the year. If Richardson sitting out due to surgery keeps him healthier for longer then Colts fans should embrace the possiblity of him getting surgery. (1:22:26 - 1:29:27) - Another caller chimes in and poses if it's time for the Colts to tank again and just try to get another quarterback because of Anthony Richardon's injury history. Kevin says there is a chance the Colts may have to look at that possibility while Andy thinks that it isn't worth the thought at this point. (1:29:28 - 1:56:03) - Andy begins the third hour by saying that no team really feels like the dominant NFL team this season. Everyone seems open to losses which is what makes the Richardson injury hurt so much. Did Minshew let the pressure of playing for his former team get to him? Steichen's play calling was questionable yesterday. The Colts face one of the best defenses in the league next week against the Cleveland Browns. The Jacksonville game took the wind out of the Colts sails several times with the interceptions. (1:56:04 - 2:05:34) - Fan Reactions of The Game. (2:05:35 - 2:12:27) - GOAT(goat) of The Week.
