WEBVTT - Episode 543 | Colts Training Camp Week 1 Thoughts 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.320 All right, we are back another edition here of Colts 0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.920 Corner with myself Kevin Bowen. Unfortunate Eddie Garrison cannot make 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:11.320 it here on this Wednesday morning, but definitely time to 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.840 check in with you from Colts training camp. Six practices 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:18.160 in seven to go, big night practice situational scrimmage coming 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.120 up on Thursday night. I know Shane Second's pretty giddy 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.119 about that practice. Really, the first true night practice. I 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.079 guess they're wheeling in some lights or they gotta do 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.000 something up there at Grand Park for the nine o'clock hours, certainly, 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.920 so eight to ten fireworks afterwards, and then you know, 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.519 after those two morning weekend practices, things will shift. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.600 To Baltimore for the Colts. They'll be there all. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.520 Next week, just one joint practice in one preseason game, 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.200 but I won't have another practice at Grand Park until 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.479 the following weekend here, so kind of the midway point 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.919 of camp. So we'll go over the offense, go over 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.639 the defense. Good amount of Twitter questions as always, thank 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.520 you guys for sending those in. Continue to do that, 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.840 we will get to them, so, you know, just overall thoughts. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.120 You know, obviously we will begin with the offense and 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.000 you know, the quarterback position right now, I say, is 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.440 trending towards being a little bit more of a competent 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.440 battle than it was. I thought to start camp. I 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.360 thought it was a really poor start to camp, not 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.320 only for the quarterbacks. I thought the pass catchers had 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.119 some drops and just sloppy, just bad and honestly probably 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.640 what we expect from the Colts passing offense this season. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.039 But you know, I do think if you. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.679 Look at it right now and again as we record 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.920 this Wednesday, you know, Richardson and Jones have probably put 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.839 three of the last four practice days together fairly well. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.560 I didn't think Tuesday was flawless for either, particularly the end, 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:44.280 but better definitely from those guys. So you know, obviously 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.840 you want to see that at that position, given the 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.560 you know, vital importance. And I guess individually, if we 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:56.000 start with Richardson, I'd say this quite often when we 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.440 talk about spring practices or camp practices, particularly once in July. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.800 You know, I'll throw in the caveat of you know, 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.360 I'm talking to you on July thirtieth, so everything is 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:09.520 with the grain of salt, and that's probably good to remember. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.800 And you know, I've kind of used the school analogy 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.720 on our morning show with Richardson of, Like, you know, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.400 I have seen some incremental improvements in his game. I 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.560 would challenge anyone that has watched Anthony Richardson in a 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.200 training camp practice over his three years in the NFL. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:30.280 I don't recall a six practice stretch where he has 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.679 had this type of underneath accuracy. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:35.680 It's not perfect. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.000 The bar was very low when I say that thing, 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.440 but it's improved, you know, is it the wider base, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.120 is it? You know, that footwork element helping him out? 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.400 You know, maybe that is something you can point to it. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.520 It certainly looks cleaner, But I just don't see the 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.960 egregious missus, the ground balls, the you know, airmails over 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.079 the middle helly, you know, the hitting the roosters that 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:03.040 you know, you know, thrown it in a way over 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.399 the crossbar or in individual periods like he's had those 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.720 misses and almost daily in years past, and you know 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.920 I watch every Richardson throw. I don't see that to 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.520 that level. Now, Again, this is individual periods. This is 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.720 against your own defense. The red jersey still on. It's 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.720 not real football, but even in non real football, he's 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.320 had issues in those areas, so I don't see the 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.160 amount of egregious misses that maybe we have. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.960 Seen with him in the past. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.040 You know, I would also point out, and probably should 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.320 have done this at the start, the fact that we're 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.880 talking six practices in and he's thrown the amount of 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.960 balls he has thrown definitely stands out to me. I 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.880 did not think we'd be a week into camp and 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.840 he would have this much workload in the eleven on 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.720 eleven sessions. Yes, he dials it back a little, not 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.560 that much really, but he definitely dials it back in 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.040 the individual periods, which is fine. I think it's a 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.720 great plan. The Colts have to get him all the 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.920 team reps as possible. But you know, he's practiced six 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.640 straight days and you know the four days last week 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.080 that they had in a row to start camp. It's 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.160 not like his volume change there in the eleven on 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.680 eleven So I would say, all things considered, it's been 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.279 a good first week for Richardson when you consider where 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.640 he was at walking into Grand Park, the unknown of 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.640 the spring, and you know, now the arrow pointing in 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:29.039 a better direction. You know, everything with him has to 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.080 have context around it. You can't compare him to a 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.840 normal NFL quarterback, Yes, at some point you need to, 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.640 but you just can't given his background. So I think 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.560 it's what makes the evaluation of Richardson so difficult. But 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.279 you know, he said, you know, after the Tuesday practice, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.839 I feel like I have more control of the ball. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.880 And you know when he said that, I kind of 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.440 thought to myself, Yeah, I I I feel like that 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.400 is correct. You know, the deep ball maybe hasn't been 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.640 as abundant or as accurate as it usually is, but 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.480 he the underneath stuff pretty good. So you know he's 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.680 passing a lot of these tests right now. Will he 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.680 passed them against real teams? All of that stuff. But 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.560 you know, he's changed his diet and again I definitely 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.880 notice the wider base and I get, you know, some 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.240 of his comments of probably frustrating to a degree when 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.159 he says after practice, you know, I've got to do 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.840 more and you know I can't be slacking anymore, and 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.359 you want to just be like, wait, why did it 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.880 take you three years in the NFL to. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:25.520 You know, get to that point. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.159 And that's fine, I mean I totally get why fans 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.599 would react in that manner, as they should, but This 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.279 is what happens when you take a risk like the 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.920 Colts did at the fourth overall pick, and they probably 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.640 honestly mis evaluated him a little bit off the field, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.960 and you know how much growth was needed in that area. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.920 So better be now or it's going to be never. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.160 And so that's probably how you have to look at 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:50.600 it so far. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.359 With Richardson. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.360 So, you know, Daniel Jones, I think also is probably 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.440 the arrow pointing a little bit more up with him. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.640 You know, with Jones, he can be more accurate than Richardson. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.520 Certainly he definitely can be steadier than Richardson. 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.320 I will say there are times. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.400 I feel like he's just a tad late. Is that 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.080 in a new offense? Is that just kind of him 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.960 as a quarterback? You know, if you're a tad late 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.000 in a comfortable camp setting. I don't like what that 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.680 could mean for the regular season. But I thought, for example, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.320 yesterday was a really strong day from Jones. You know, again, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.520 factoring in the bar, I don't have a super high 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.080 bar for him. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.400 You know, it is primarily a lot of dink and 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.080 dunk stuff with him. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.599 You know, there have been some second level throws in 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.280 the last couple of days that I think he's hit 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.320 on and just in general, we probably talk so much 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.240 about Richardson we don't acknowledge Jones enough. 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.280 But you know, there are times where I see kind 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.160 of the Gardner. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:57.960 Minshew ish, you know, comps that makes some sense, you know, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.800 I know from a deep ball standpoint, he definitely showed 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.400 a little bit more I think in the spring in 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.000 the team sessions, and I've seen so far here. You know, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.400 I'm curious how that will evolve a camp moves along. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.880 But you know, to summarize where I'm at, kind of 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.760 quarterback wise, a weekend, you know, you hear Stichen's words, 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.240 and I think he's more open to giving Daniel Jones 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.360 a chance. I hear Ballard's words, and I feel like 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.200 it's a little bit more like no, no, no, we 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.760 got to be patient with Anthony. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:23.320 You know. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.240 That's kind of where I'm going to go on that. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:33.520 But I I would call Richardson the slight leader in 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.640 my mind kind of a week into it, you know, 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.240 I think Jones has got to outplay him noticeably. And 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.520 weirdly both have been good on the same day or better, 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.760 or both have been bad on the same day. It's like, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.280 we haven't had two wins of the spectrum for the 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.400 two quarterbacks on a given day. So you know, we'll 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.920 see how this continues to play out because we are 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.360 going to get into some bigger evaluation periods. But yeah, 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.679 right now, I would give it to Richard just because 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.440 you know, he obviously can bring quite the dynamic run element. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.160 You know, Jones is definitely definitely has ability to make 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.040 place with his legs. There's no doubting that, but it's not, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.360 of course, at the Richardson level there. So yeah, I 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.640 think that's everything from a quarterback standpoint. You're kind of 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.840 moving over to other items in the offense obviously, Bernard 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.760 Rhyman contract excension, you know, arguably the biggest news item 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.320 so far off camp. To me, that was a no brainer. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.600 I don't care what your future is at GM. I 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.600 don't care what your future is at head coach. I 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.800 don't care what your future is at quarterback. Bernard Ryman 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.040 needs to be a left tackle. It's a great story. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.199 So for me, I just thought the rhyming thing again 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.560 made you know, really total sense. 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.520 And you know, it's. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:48.040 A wonderful Chris Ballard draft pick. It's finding a premium 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.640 position in the middle of round three. You just I mean, 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.280 look at the best left tackles. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.400 In the league. You just don't find these guys where 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:55.280 Baler found him. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.760 Obviously, the Kastanza thing I think took a little while, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.040 a little longer then it should have, just to get 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.960 a little bit of semblance at that position. Uh. But 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.360 again you got to give credit to you know, finding 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.280 a franchise piece. 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.200 Uh. With that third round pick seventy nine, I want to say, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.319 it's kind of sticking out to me. I don't know, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.360 maybe that's Ryman's. 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.160 Number, maybe that was popping it into my head, but 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.480 you know, middle of round three, I think it was 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.400 back in that twenty twenty two draft. And you know, 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.280 I was curious because you know, as that Rymand thing 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.040 played out, and you know, he opped on our neon 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.600 to three show with Jay Query and you know, expressed 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.400 that his team had said they were kind of wide apart. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.840 You know, maybe it was the Rashawn Slater domino that 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.880 need to get started for kind of value to set in. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.320 But you know, there's a little part of me it's 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.800 kind of curious, like you knows, Carl ersa Gordon at all. 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.840 Look at that and think, oh boy, this is the 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.600 first extension under my watch. I don't want the thought 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.120 to be, oh, we don't pay people or we don't pay. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.200 Quality left tackles. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.520 Like you know, when Rymond said there's a disagreement on 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.480 positional value, I'm thinking onself, wait, what a minute, Chris 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.280 Ballard has paid running backs, he's paid linebackers, he's paid guards. 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.440 He's not going to pay a left tackle. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.040 That makes no sense to me whatsoever there So I 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.560 think got ryman contract will age really well and quality 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.800 quality player and great to hear that. Braden Smith, to 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.880 quote him, is in a spectacular place. I mean, I 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.160 was struck by brain Smith. First off, his willingness to 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.440 want to speak. You know a lot of times you 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.040 can see stories like that. He obviously had to tell 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.120 all with Joeli Erickson. That's kind of the one time 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.480 and then any other time I'm gonna tk, I'm gonn 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.440 talk a little bit more football. But you know, his 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.520 willingness to speak and be so vulnerable. I commend him 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.760 for that. You know, I was really struck, really kind 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.000 of hit me when he said at some point, you know, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.840 I was just trying to be alive and that was 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.600 Oh boy, that that really struck me, you know when 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.400 he said that describing where he was at last year 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.200 and you know, on the field with Brayden. You know, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.600 before he left the team right before Thanksgiving, he had 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.120 played every snap but won last year. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.320 So again there's injury history, but like you know, that 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.880 to me is something. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.560 But also he was trending to have a really healthy season, 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.560 you know, over seven hundred snaps and he just missed one. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.959 So you know, center continues to be a competition. I 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.520 would say so far, the O line a little better 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.480 than the D line. The first two practices. I don't 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.400 think there was a lot of like blown dead sacks 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.760 or kind of muddy pockets with the pads on. I 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.480 was talking with Joe Wright's Colts Radio yesterday at practice 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.520 and he mentioned as an offensive lineman, he always thought 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.920 it was easier to block with pads on than it 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.319 was without. So you know, I do think the old 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.199 line has been pretty solid here, even in the run game. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:33.600 And again I think the run game. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360 Is kind of hard to truly truly evaluate, you know, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.599 from a wide receiver standpoint, I think it's been a 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.280 very mixed bag from that group. I like what I've 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.400 seen from Alex Pearce. I like what Anthony Gould has 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.000 shown the fifth round pick from two years ago out 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.240 of Oregon State. I mean, he if you add up 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.160 the catches in eleven on eleven, I'd venture to guess 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.480 he's right up there with anybody, including Michael Pittman Jr. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:54.280 In terms of catches. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.080 And you know, it's a lot of the slot stuff, 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.040 but there's been a couple of downfield plays as well, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.560 and I don't know how the offensive snaw or the 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.840 role maybe gets there for him. But I guess if 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.640 Josh Downs were to go down, I don't see it 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.160 being maybe as big of an issue like last year. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.760 I think it was big time scramble. Note. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.800 I think Gould has shown enough where you would at 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.680 least give him the slot opportunity to try and you know, 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.240 band aid that up. If Downs were to miss time, Yeah, 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.080 I'd like to see a little bit more from Michael 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.360 Pittman Jr. I think I like to see a little 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.680 bit more from Josh Downs. Those are two guys I 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.800 usually don't say those things about. I think Down's been 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.960 better here the last couple of days. You know, the 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.440 eighty Mitchell experience is just it's just maddening. I get 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.600 why the staff is enamorate with the talent. 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.400 You know, he had a couple one on one moments against. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:46.920 Saverious War the other day that you know, he just 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.880 cooked a guy that frankly hasn't been cooked at all 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.679 here during camp. And then you get to these eleven 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.600 on eleven periods and he probably was close to a 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:59.679 handful of drops and or fumbles so far, and there's 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.280 just such an inconsistency to him. Yet he does the 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.120 hard part, right. I mean, like at times other wide 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.880 outs struggle to get open, that is never seemingly an 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.640 issue with him. And you know, I kind of go 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.880 back to his you know, time in college and you know, okay, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.040 why was he the tenth or the. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.199 Eleventh wide out taken? 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.520 Because you know, here's a guy that played five college 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.000 football playoff games and you know, I had a touchdown 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.960 and all five of them. And then you know, you 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.920 get deeper into those games and it's like, wait a minute, 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:35.400 he only had three catches total in those games if 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.680 you take out the touchdowns, Like, okay, why wasn't there 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.480 more production there? And you know, obviously for the Colts 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.640 you look at that and say, okay, we're going to 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.200 tap into that. You know, he's young, whatever, immature and consistent. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.040 Everyone to describe it, but you know, with coaching development, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.000 we're going to get there. So you just like to 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:53.880 see him string some eleven on eleven stuff together. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:54.680 I do think the one. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.400 On ones, even the seven on seven's a little bit 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.640 better here the last couple of days. So we'll see 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.800 about the eleven on eleven's Tyler Warren moves around a 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.880 whole lot. They move him around a ton. The catch 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.959 radius is very evident. He had a couple of fifty 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.880 to fifty moments it didn't go his way the other day. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.160 That was pretty rare to see. Great play by Justin 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.600 Wally climbing the ladder for one and it goes awesome 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.280 to Jake he had had another wad a linebacker. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.160 But they will move worn around a lot. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.320 Shifting gears the defense, I also think well Mallory has 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.280 had a nice camp so far Shifting gears the defense though. 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:34.520 Traveri's ward very good, just anticipates really well. The sticky coverage. Boy, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:40.600 he talks, he really talks. But I think he's got 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.200 a very clear goal of wanting to get back to 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.240 being an all pro corner and was in such a 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.200 dark place last year in San Francisco, and you know, yeah, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.680 I think he feels like he's got something to kind 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.480 of prove to himself to get back there. And I 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.160 think those three corners are starting to emerge. And I 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.880 would have said that before the unfortunate injury to Jayalen Jones. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.080 That's been the one notable in practice injury so far 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.400 where he went down yesterday and he was in a 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.520 world of hurt and had to get helped onto the 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.920 cart before he was carted off. They said hamstring injury 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.880 for him, So we'll see how long his absence is. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.240 And you know, the Colts, I think we're starting to 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.680 build some real depth at corner. I mean, if you 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.280 look at Jones as your fourth and Juju Brents is 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.320 your fifth and Samuel Willmack is your sixth, I mean, 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.800 at one point last year those three were all playing 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:30.480 huge minutes for you. So, you know, I just think 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.360 Wally competes and competes. He had a beautiful teach tape 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.200 rap against Michael Pittman JUNR on Tuesday, you know, isolated 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.080 in man dig route giving up all that size, picture 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.400 perfect technique, you know, gets right in front of him 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.120 for the past deflection, doesn't get that right hand, you know, 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.000 tugging on the on the jersey as he tries to. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.160 Go around him. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.360 Just great stuff from Justin Wally. So yeah, I look 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.960 at Ward, I look at More and I look at 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.040 Wally and think that those are your three corners if 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.640 you're gonna go play tomorrow. And you know, we'll see 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.040 about the health of Jones. Juju Brents also makes I 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.680 don't know if I saw Ju do a practice also 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:08.920 missed yesterday with the hamstring injury. So again we'll see 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.200 how all of that continues to play out. So waiting 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:17.360 on the practice debut of Zira Franklin, it looks to 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.080 be soon. I mean, he certainly is working up a 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:25.360 big old' lather on that adjacent practice field, so I 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.480 don't it doesn't look. 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.320 Like something that's going to last too too much longer 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.560 with him. I do think some of the linebackers have really. 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:40.560 Made a nice impression in the passing game. Joe Bachi 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.680 for sure, coming on from Cincinnati. I've noticed him a 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.520 good amount camera groan this yesterday due to injury, but 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.280 you know he's been factoring into it as well. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.160 Kind of quiet for Jailing Carlis. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.680 He had a pass deflection late in camp yesterday, late 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.840 in that hour forty five minute practice, so that was 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.320 good to see, but probably been a little bit on 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.840 the quieter side for him. And again in D line, 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.280 I just maybe haven't noticed the activity from that rush 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.919 unit as much the first couple of days in full pads. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.480 There's good one on one moments, but you know, again 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.640 when they get in the team sessions, haven't noticed. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.159 As much of that. You know. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.840 Kicker wise, we've seen them kick twice in front of us. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.040 Both of them have done a decent job. They both 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.639 missed two kicks on their first day and then they 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.040 both were perfect this week. It sounds like Thursday will 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.560 be a big kicking point for both of those guys. 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:35.520 I still think Spencer Schrader, Oh bless Me is the 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.040 is the favorite for that kicking battle. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.200 But yeah, that's probably kind of where I stand offense 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.399 defense wise. I updated some position battles up on our website, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:47.760 so you can check that out. One of seventy five 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.840 the fan dot Com If you want to head over there, 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.399 you'll get a look exactly where things kind of stand. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.520 As again we reached the midway point of camp. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.000 All right, let's get to about a half dozen Twitter 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:03.240 questions here, as always, thank you for sitting these in. 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.800 First one here from Cato. I was really hoping that 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.840 the revamps secondary would give law to a lot to 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.720 the extra time to become the disruptor. We hoped his 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.640 pick would warrant. How does he looked so far in camp? 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.800 What can you tell is the word that they think 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.520 he can take the next step. I mean, you know, 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.760 they're very high on him from a word standpoint. I 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.240 would say I haven't noticed a ton from him in 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.800 the eleven on eleven stuff. Again, just two days of 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.320 full pads so far. And you know, when you think 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.119 about it, the Colts do have two quality tackles that 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:38.920 are opposite him. I'd say Quity Pay probably definitely probably 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.480 is a definite starter opposite him. And then yeah, I 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.760 think Samson Ebukam has started to rotate a bit with 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.439 LAT two in those starting reps as he returns to 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.280 that torn Achilles. So again we'll continue to see. Obviously 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.320 you rotate a lot there. I called JT two amloau 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.280 a little bit more Antai Kwon Lewis more of rotational guys. 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.919 They move around a little bit more. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.800 Even the inside to Maloaut notice him a decent amount 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.480 late yesterday and practice made a couple of plays in 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:08.120 the passing game. So again, I think it's important to 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.919 start to get truer evaluations on those trench guys. This 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.959 from Jamie Braden Smith plays sixteen games and earns a 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.640 Pro Bowl in twenty twenty five. Does he get extended, 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.920 franchised or become a free agent? 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:25.439
