Stephen Holder of ESPN joins the program to kick off the second hour. Holder says that it was known Hines was unhappy in the locker room. He may not have asked for the trade but was likely fine with being moved. He doesn't know the exact parameters surrounding the trade, and what may transform the 6th round pick into a 5th round pick. Do Chris Ballard's actions yesterday speak to Chris Ballard's job security? Marc asks if the Marcus Brady firing is a scapegoat move by someone in the office. Holder details how Reich and Siriani worked well together because they had different personalities that formed a "yin-yang" situation. Holder speculates on how the Colts will fair against the New England Patriots this Sunday. Alex Golden host of the "Setting the Pace" podcast starts the final hour talking about Myles Turner's comments on the WOJ podcast a few days ago. Golden believes the comment was fine so long as it was a hypothetical question but also wishes Turner did a better job backing that statement up against the Brooklyn Nets the following day. He also believes that head-coach Rick Carlisle has put Buddy Hield in a great position to succeed either with the team or potentially as a trade. Kevin asks if there should be urgency to get Bennedict Mathurin into the starting lineup. Golden says the Pacers are in a position to "feed-the-hot-hand" with players like Mathurin, Hield, Duarte, and Haliburton. Kevin wonders who is a key player and who is expendable or just a roll player. Golden believe Haliburton and Mathurin are the only two players who are untouchable.Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(00:00 - 26:59) - The curse of Jake continues as Marc left his wallet at home. The trade deadline saw Nyheim Hines traded to the Buffalo Bills for Zack Moss and a 6th round draft pick. Along with that trade the Colts fired their offensive coordinator Marcus Brady. Were Buffalo really the best team to trade with for the Colts or were better offers out there? It has been reported that Hines made a trade request, but nothing is confirmed yet. Marc and Kevin then run down the other trades that took place up against the NFL deadline last night. Steve Nash was fired by the Brooklyn Nets after they BEAT the Pacers. Frank Reich and Marcus Brady had very similar personalities, perhaps Brady's firing was to give the Colts coaching staff a more diverse approach. (27:00 - 31:56) - Morning Checkdown (31:57 - 44:24) - Back in May Frank Reich said that Nyheim Hines would be an important draft for people's fantasy football teams. Apparently, he meant that for Buffalo fans instead. Callers start to weigh in on the Hines trade and Brady firing. (44:25 - 1:10:35) - Stephen Holder of ESPN joins the program to kick off the second hour. Holder says that it was known Hines was unhappy in the locker room.

(1:10:36 - 1:26:12) - Marc and Kevin are joined by Brian Neubert the Purdue Boilermaker writer for on3sports. He gives a preview of Purdue's upcoming matchup against Iowa this weekend. Neubert stresses that this team needs to be more Purdue like in order for them to be successful and potentially win the Big Ten Eastern Conference. They are taking a risk on two freshman guards this Saturday. Kevin transitions Neubert over to Purdue's basketball team and how they manage to have one Mr. Basketball and one Mr. Basketball runner up. Will Purdue trust Brayden Smith with the ball right away? (1:26:13 - 1:31:08) - Talk returns to the NFL trade deadline ending last night and the moves that were made. Kevin thinks that the deadline was exciting much like the MLB and NBA's deadlines. He then runs down the list of free agents the Colts will have next year. Marc and Kevin go back and forth on who is a "must" re-sign player for next season. (1:31:09 - 1:56:08) - Alex Golden host of the "Setting the Pace" podcast starts the final hour talking about Myles Turner's comments on the WOJ podcast a few days ago.

Ohio State's Dawand Jones has positioned himself higher in this upcoming draft. Kevin brings up a list of Indiana college talent and asks Brugler where they may land in 2023.

The Colts analyst for IndyStar, Joel Erickson joins the program to talk Hines news and the potential draft moves that may come from the trade deadline. Erickson believe that while Hines is available he won't just be given away. A draft pick may not be enough to peak the Colts interest. He views a third rounder as a pretty good return for Hines, but he doesn't know exactly what Indianapolis is looking for in return for him. Do the Colts need to make any drastic moves before the trade deadline to try and fix their offensive line issues. Are a lot of these trades more to offboard the contract than they are to onboard a player or draft pick.

(00:00 - 25:46) - The first show of November begins with NFL trade deadline talk. The Colts have thrown around Nyheim Hines as a talking point for trades. Only a small handful of trades have been made so far, who knows how things will pick up as we approach 4pm today. With Hines not being a starter, what's the best the Colts could reasonably expect for him? The Colts are traveling to New England to take on the Patriots on Sunday, they are looking for their first in Foxboro since 2006. Teasing conversation about Myles Turner's potential future trade from the Pacers. Chris Duarte had an amazing game last night against the Brooklyn Nets with a 30 point game. What Halloween candy were Marc and Kevin most excited for? (25:47 - 30:31) - Morning Checkdown (30:32 - 46:06) - Nyheim Hines was the only player that insider Adam Schefter tweeted about last night. Both Kevin and Marc seem to agree that Hines has been massively underutilized this season. While they both like him they understand that with Jonathan Taylor on this squad they can afford to lose Hines. Roquan Smith was traded from the Chicago Bears for a second and fifth round draft pick. The hour closes with callers weighing in on the possibility of losing Nyheim Hines. (46:07 - 1:09:34) - More Nyheim Hines trade talk and more callers who wonder what he means to the team versus what his trade value is. One caller proposes trading Jackson instead of Hine, which both hosts think won't fetch the same value as you may get for Hines. Talk so far has mostly surrounded trading Hines for a draft pick, but are there any players who we may be able to get for Hines? (1:09:35 - 1:25:23) - The Colts analyst for IndyStar, Joel Erickson joins the program to talk Hines news and the potential draft moves that may come from the trade deadline. Erickson believe that while Hines is available he won't just be given away. A draft pick may not be enough to peak the Colts interest. He views a third rounder as a pretty good return for Hines, but he doesn't know exactly what Indianapolis is looking for in return for him.

Are a lot of these trades more to offboard the contract than they are to onboard a player or draft pick. (1:25:24 - 1:31:32) - The second hour closes out with some college football talk. LSU might have a chance against Alabama. Purdue hosts Iowa, they need to win this one in order to potentially seal the deal for the Big 10 East. In Bloomington the Hoosiers might be looking at a QB change as Tom Allen hints at benching Bazelak for their game against Penn State. Quick recap of the Pacers performance against the Brooklyn Nets last night. (1:31:33 - 1:55:04) - The Myles Turner clip from Adrian Wajnorowski's podcast is played and Kevin dives into what he sees right and what he sees right with Turner's comment and what he sees wrong with Turner's actions. Turner just hasn't been able to back up his comments with play that matches. The Lakers have very limited moves available that would be worth trading Turner for. Callers weigh in on what Turner's value is to the team and away from the team. Pacers are currently 3-5 and on track to win 30 games this season. Marc weighs the value of tanking for a draft pick against getting another player. (1:55:05 - 2:11:14) - Dane Brugler of The Athletic's draft analyst joins the show to breakdown where the Colts go after this trade deadline, especially in regard to the 2023 NFL Draft.

(00:00 - 24:51) - The show opens with Marc, Kevin, and Sam introducing their Halloween costumes. Then talk turns sour right away as Kevin and Marc have to re-live yesterday's Indianapolis Colts loss to the Washington Commanders, 17-16. The guys were both impressed with Ehlinger's first NFL performance. The play calling worked well and the game ultimately came down to a dropped pass, and a fumble. Pacers had a great weekend with wins over the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets. (24:52 - 29:16) - Morning Checkdown (29:17 - 44:23) - Kenny Moore tweeted then deleted something cryptic over the weekend. Marc and Kevin hypothesize on if the tweet would indicate he is a prime trade candidate. Kevin and Marc start taking callers who weigh in on the Colts lack of receivers, coaching shortcomings, and trade deadline possibilities. The Colt's stadium was packed in honor of Tarik Glenn getting inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor. Edgerin James, Peyton Manning, and Reggie Wayne all were in attendance. Reich seemingly is losing confidence as this season rolls on. Colts center Ryan Kelly seems to give up on most plays. (44:24 - 1:09:43) - The second hour kicks off with Kevin and Marc talking about Ehlinger's performance again. Both were impressed with the rookie, Marc ranked his performance a 7 out of 10 in his first game. Both question if he can maintain that level of play against the New England Patriots next week. Calls continue focusing on Frank Reich and the fanbases overwhelming desire for him to be fired. Fans from all over the United States join the show as we get callers from Maine and Texas. Paris Campbell and Tyquan Lewis had opposite end of the spectrum performances last night. Callers start to bring up the "Buy/sell vs. Blow it up" debate. (1:09:44 - 1:26:25) - Goat of the week time! Mark's GOAT is the Commanders Terry McLaurin. Kevin's "goat" is the Bally Sports Network who was dropping the game and audio during their matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The feed was a major disappointment for Pacers fans across the state. Then the show returns to the phone lines and takes on more disgruntled callers with the Colts performance yesterday. One caller equates the Colts this season to performing as well as the college level IU Football team. Marcus Mariota and the Falcons are leading the NFC South. (1:26:26 - 1:28:52) - Caller gets on to close the hour and discusses the crowd noise being very low at Lucas Oil Stadium this year. (1:28:53 - 1:54:57) - Kevin and Marc recap their views on the Colts and Commanders game then turn it over to the Post-Game Headlines segment where they go over the funniest tweets reacting to the Colts performance. Callers shake things up briefly with some praise for Bennedict Mathurin of the Indiana Pacers. Then talk returns immediately to Frank Reich and the entire Colts office. More talk about Kenny Moore's cryptic tweeting. Bennedict Mathurin is potentially already a starter for the Pacers? Myles Turner's trade value is fluctuating. (1:54:58 - 2:10:39) - Jeff Saturday is on the program and talks about getting to hit the anvil at yesterday's Colts game. Saturday was impressed by Ehlinger's first NFL start against the Commanders.

Greg Rakestraw makes his weekly appearance on the program to hype up high-school football playoffs happening tonight. He has the call on Carmel vs. Westfield, a competitive matchup. Another big game happening tonight would be Ben Davis vs. Brownsburg. Talk transitions to Sam Ehlinger's start as the Colts QB, Rakestraw fortunately has called all of his NFL career passes so far in the pre-season. Rakestraw was surprised that Ehlinger got the call over Matt Ryan, though he suspects that the Matt Ryan injury report might be true. There can't be any expectations on Shaq Leonard this season given how all the games prior turned out. Tarik Glenn is entering the Colts Ring-of-Honor this weekend. Radio play-by-play voice of the Colts Matt Taylor joins the program and gives a look into what to expect from Ehlinger's first NFL appearance. A quick run over how to pronounce all the Colts players names. The Washington Commanders apparently have some difficult names to pronounce as well. Taylor believes that this Ehlinger change may be the spot that lights up the rest of this Colts team. Through seven games it is obvious that something needs to change about this team. Taylor draws a comparison between Sam Ehlinger and former IU Quarterback Peyton Ramsey as far as his potential goes. A big question is going to be if Ehlinger knows how to keep a bad play from getting worse and stopping turnovers. Taylor is not a fan of the 4 o'clock kick-off as it breaks routine.

(00:00 - 24:44) - The ghost of Jake Query lives in the studio as fill-in host Marc Dykton can't log in to his computer. World Series starts tonight with the Philadelphia Phillies vs. the Houston Astros. Thursday Night Football was slightly more exciting last night, though that isn't saying much. Brady falls two games below .500 for the first time in his career. Terry McLaurin and Stephon Gilmore should be an interesting duel this Sunday as the Washington Commanders take on the Indianapolis Colts. It's been over a year since some wide receivers have caught a pass from Sam Ehlinger. Jonathan Taylor will have to be on his A game if Sam Ehlinger can't get going. (24:45 - 29:59) - Morning Checkdown (30:00 - 43:20) - Sam Ehlinger is looking to be the first quarterback since the 80's to win their debut game with the Colts. Ehlinger is trying his best to become a strong arm quarterback. The Colts need to have someone step up in this game against the Commanders to give him some support in his first career start. Kevin thinks there is a better chance that Chris Ballard is here next year than Frank Reich. This is the lowest the Colts franchise has felt since Luck retired.

(1:11:07 - 1:25:52) - Jim Irsay has been making appearances on Washington radio programs recently. Washington's fan base is all aboard the Irsay hype train right now. This is possibly the most positive PR that Irsay has had across the league in his time as an owner. Is all the good faith getting to Irsay's head? Irsay will have the mic at half-time with Tarik Glenn, does he make any comments live to Snyder? Callers start to give their opinions on all things Irsay, Ehlinger, and weather or not it is worth it to blow up the Colts. (1:25:53 - 1:30:22) - There was at least a chance that Matt Ryan could have heated up and made the Colts a playoff team. Ehlinger as quarterback seems more like a hail marry chance that things work out.

Zak Keefer closes out the show with Kevin and Marc. Kevin and Keefer begin talking about how Frank Reich is answering questions right now that are better suited for Chris Ballard or Jim Irsay. Keefer says it seems like Reich might be giving/defending his resume at the podium right now. He defends that Ehlinger is a quarterback that can still bring the Colts to the playoffs. Ehlinger's skillset and ability to extend plays may give the Colts an answer to their O-line struggles. Ehlinger will also provide some questions for defenses who won't be able to predict his patterns as a quarterback as easily. Irsay's voice is present in the Colts locker room all season, it affected the quarterback situation in the off-season, will it effect the coaching situation this season? If Ehlinger does well, Reich may survive as head coach for another year. Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-wake-up-call-1075-the-fan/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
