<p>Jeff Saturday has great confidence in his ability to lead, and he should. &nbsp;Coaching in the NFL is a little different though. &nbsp;We get to discover whether he can be an NFL head coach right along with him. &nbsp;</p> <p>Jim Irsay expressed great confidence in Chris Ballard, but Ballard was still prickly about the media calling out a lack of weapons at receiver. &nbsp;Normally self assured, last night he looked more like a hostage than a general manager. &nbsp;</p> <p>Indiana Butler, and the Pacers got wins last night - all led by their bigs!</p> <p>This episode is supported by Pristine Auction. &nbsp;Enter to win an Autographed Jonathan Taylor Jersey AND get $10 Off your first item won! &nbsp;Use registration code Taylor when you sign up at https://www.pristineauction.com/register.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Frank Reich is going to keep fighting to fix problems, and will likely cause more problems. &nbsp;Sam Ehlinger is not the only target of blame, but he's one of them. &nbsp;Offensive line ineptitude led the Colts to fail on all 124 first down conversion, and the Colts and Patriots combined for fewer total yards than in any previous Colts game EVER! &nbsp;</p> <p>Hoosiers and Butler open their seasons tonight - and the Pacers host the Pelicans in a quest to reach .500! &nbsp;</p> <p>Enter to win an Autographed Jonathan Taylor Jersey AND get $10 Off your first item won! &nbsp;Use registration code Taylor when you sign up at https://www.pristineauction.com/register.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Colts gained 43 yards on 38 pass plays. Reich and Ehlinger are easy targets for blame, but who on the offense shouldn't be blamed? &nbsp;</p> <p>Matt Pryor was replaced by Will Fries, but why did he start? &nbsp;</p> <p>The ways this game was embarrassing are endless, but the defense played hard and well - starting with Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Frank Reich's platitudes and bouquets need to stop in favor of the truth. &nbsp;Good or bad, fans deserve to hear something honest from the coach of their team after the offensive coordinator is fired and a running back is traded without reasonable explanation. &nbsp;</p> <p>Truth must be offered or no one will believe a word! &nbsp;</p> <p>This "everyone is a leader" nonsense must end, and so should Reich's bromides. &nbsp;</p> <p>Jonathan Taylor did not practice and neither did Matt Ryan. &nbsp;Bill Self has been suspended for something - not sure or Kansas remembers what - but the NCAA's IARP will disband after it remembers!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
