RUSH: Nicholas, Fort Wayne, Indiana, thank you for waiting, sir, you\u2019re next.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Ultra mega Hoosier dittos from flyover country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019d just like to ask you what you think about the Indianapolis Colts and what they need to do to turn their season around. I know they\u2019re not on the brinks yet, but with the offense sputtering the way it is, it\u2019s sure heading that way fast.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s just a minor blip in the road. I think you\u2019re going to get fixed tomorrow night playing the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, most definitely, and with Harrison being out, it\u2019s really cut down our offensive production.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know something? I think that\u2019s a crutch, you have Reggie Wayne, you\u2019ve got Dallas Clark, you got Joseph Addai. So three of your four weapons you still got. Any team, championship team\u2019s, got to be able to withstand the loss for a couple, three weeks, of one player. If the Colts need Marvin Harrison, if they can\u2019t put anybody in to sub for him, if they can\u2019t get by without Marvin Harrison for a short period of time, then there\u2019s trouble. I think people look at that as a crutch.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I agree. I think as long as we have number 18 back as our quarterback, we\u2019ll be in good shape.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, you\u2019re just reacting. What\u2019s happening to the Colts is what happens to every team now and again, it just hasn\u2019t happened in years. This team is getting older. This is something that happens. I think one of the biggest problems you have is losing Dwight Freeney, to tell you the truth.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, you\u2019re right, you\u2019re right. He definitely could put pressure on the quarterback. But, you know, like you said, with the Falcons tomorrow night, I think we\u2019ll get this thing turned around.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, because the offensive line has given Manning some time, and that\u2019s what every quarterback needs. Look at Brady. You know, I think Tom Brady is one of the most — I guess he\u2019s starting to get some appreciation this year — Tom Brady is always left out of these great quarterback discussions that include Marino, Peyton Manning, and some of the others, and the guy is just simply a winner. He works in a system up there that Bill Belichick runs, and so they don\u2019t have a whole lot of focus on individuals on that team from inside the team. But I\u2019ll tell you, the season the Patriots are having is unbelievable — may be the single best team, season long, in the NFL\u2019s history, single season team, it has to be the Patriots, especially if they go undefeated. They\u2019re mauling people. A lot of people are saying, ‘Well, they\u2019re running up the score, Rush, it\u2019s not fair.\u2019 Through the first three quarters, everything is fair game. If you go into the fourth quarter and you\u2019re leading a hapless time like the Dolphins 42-0 and you put Brady back in when the backup quarterback throws an interception, then you can maybe say, okay, they\u2019re running up the score. Belichick says, ‘No, actually it wasn\u2019t, it was 48-21, fourth quarter lead, 21 points is not enough. I need to make sure we win the game.\u2019 Belichick is simply laying waste to the league. Singling him out for cheating, spy-gate, $500,000 fine, he\u2019s saying, ‘Okay, league, take this.\u2019 It\u2019s sort of fun to watch, in a way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
