1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: The Colts are two and zero.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Their offense has been efficient, and they got you know,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 2: a second lease on that penalty at the field goal.

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: The guy yesterday that as a matter of fact, when

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: I heard some of Rick Ventury and he was saying, man,

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: this has been a really good series, and he said

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: that on a couple of occasions late in the game

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: when the Colts needed stops, and he was talking about

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: Nick Cross, who joins us on the program now, the

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: secondary and safety player for the Colts, that when he

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: was brought into the league, was brought in because he

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: was hyper athletic and now has molded himself into a

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: very solid player for Indianapolis.

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Nick, how are you? I'm good?

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: How are you?

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: I want to begin with exactly what I was just mentioning,

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: and that is, and I know we're going back to

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: when you were coming out of Maryland, but you know,

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: when you came into the league, the kind of the

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: selling point of Nick Cross was that you had range

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 2: and that you you know, you had an athleticism about you.

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: But then I think for any player come in there

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: there has to be an instinct that comes as well.

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: What is your comfort level in the NFL?

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 4: Now?

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: Versus when you first came in and just your overall

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: kind of understanding of that center field position.

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like with anything that you know

29
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: involves the reps and repetition. Any any new environment just

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: requires reps and repetition to adapt and to get better

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: and to be able to go out there and play

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: at high level. So I mean, I think definitely just

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: off of the year, you know, time I've spent, you know,

34
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of game experience I have now and

35
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: you know obviously you know, playing close to the ball,

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like the comfortability continues to grow

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 3: every rep I take, every game I play, and just

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: trying to continue to be better.

39
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: How are things different this year under this defense with

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: lou An Arumo. I don't necessarily mean to sit here

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: and compare and contrast to a year ago, But but

42
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: what is it about lou Anarriumo's defense that is of

43
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: like to you? I guess, And what was, if anything,

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: the biggest learning curve of it?

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: I would say, you know, just a whole lot of different,

46
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: you know, things we do on defense. You know, definitely

47
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: other thing a little more aggressive, but at the end

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: of the day, just you know, great teaching and fundamentals,

49
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: great teaching and technique, overall accountability and just you know,

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: make sure we play sound defensive football. So you know,

51
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: I enjoyed being coached by lou and Chris and coach

52
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: coach wrong, you know, one of the great teachers.

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Nick.

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: One of the things about this defense, Nick Cross of

55
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: the Colts is our guest, Colts now two to zero

56
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: after they win yesterday against Denver. The from the outside

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to lou An Arumo and his defensive scheme,

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: one of the things that is often said is that

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 2: there's a lot of I guess I'll use the term

60
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: stunt for lack of a lot of masking, right, like

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: trying to confuse an offense by presenting one look and

62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: then playing something completely different and attacking from a different area.

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: Is that number one a fair assessment of what you

64
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: guys are doing? And number two, is it challenging if

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: that's the case to line up one way and then

66
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: run something completely different in a quote unquote junk style.

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: Well, so yeah, I would say, I mean, at the

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 3: end of the day, for life, you know, there's in

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: a lot of different looks and everything. But you know,

70
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: at the end of the bays about you being in your playbook,

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: you know where you fit, on your role in the defense,

72
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: and being able to you know, Lou always said, never

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: let your disguise get you out of your job. So

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: it's just knowing where you're supposed to be at and

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: playing playing at a high level.

76
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: You know, the defensive backfield. I've always said, Nick, I'm

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna give you a line I've said on

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: the radio. Okay, I've always said that defensive backs and

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: offensive lineman the two areas on a football team that

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: are like cell phone chargers and sunglasses. You can never

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: have too many, just because there's attrition that takes place,

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: injury takes place, you know, rhythm, et cetera. And for

83
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: that reason, we've already seen it with with the corners, Okay,

84
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: for you and your just the room in general. How

85
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: how much is familiarity with your teammates important in terms

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: of solidarity of what it is that you want to

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: do as a unit.

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: I think it's important. You know, you play with the

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: same guys. You gain it familiarity. I'm able to communicate better.

90
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: You know each other's playing style, so you can play

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: off of each other and I think it's just one

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: of those things where you know that can the more

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: you learn, the more you play with somebody, the more

94
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: familiar you get, and the more the more you play

95
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: with them.

96
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: And having said that, you know, obviously you saw you

97
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: have right before you in the corners a lot of

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: guys that you are not overly familiar playing with right

99
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: because of the situation that I just talked about with attrition,

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: how many games do you need to play as a

101
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: unit before you really do have a firm instinctive understanding

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: of your teammate.

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: I don't know that this is said number or anything

104
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: like that. I think that you know, just like I said,

105
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: a rest petition games walk you know a film room. Well,

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: you play with somebody, the more you you know, communicate

107
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: with them, the more that y'all you know, watch each other,

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: want tight shir to operate, the better off thing, the

109
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: better things will be.

110
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: No, I'd like to know Nick, By the way, what

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: are you are you in the locker room? Now? Now

116
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: Schrader having to hit a kick that big getting carried off,

117
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 2: just all of it.

118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: How much fun did you have yesterday?

119

Speaker 3: feel like you have a lot of fun anytime you

121
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: able to go play the game on Sundays. You know,

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: opportunities don't get taken for granted. But it was great

123
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: to you know, go down to the wire and have

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: an exciting game like that. Denver is a really good

125
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 3: team and really good players on the coach really well,

126
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: so just to be able to go all the way

127
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: down to the wire and come up with the victory,

128
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: it's really special.

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Who are the leaders on your team? Like, who are

130
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: the guys that you look towards that when they I

131
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: always say guys that when they walk in the locker room,

132
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: everybody kind of stops to see just what the overall

133
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: mood is and whatever else.

134
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: Give me two or three guys.

135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: Probably say, you know Quintosa on see Buck the Hoss,

136
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: I've done there for a high level, at a high

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 3: level for a long time. You know you were you

138
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: know someone like you know Moony and the Eggzag and

139
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: they've just gotten here camp guys who's gotten here, but

140
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: you know they've been playing at a high time where

141
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: they've been at before. So it's good to see those

142
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: guys and watch how they operate on a day day basis.

143
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: I think I've asked you this before, Nick, Nick Cross,

144
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: our guest. Oftentimes when I have a player on, I

145
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: will ask them the most famous person that came out

146
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: of their high school. I have no idea how or

147
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: why I'd be again asking this question, but I think

148
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: this is a fair statement, and I want your your

149
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: thought on this. I don't know that any player in

150
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: the NFL, if everybody was talking about like just overall

151
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: athletic departments of their high school and alma mater and

152
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: in the list of greatness that's come out of it,

153
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: is there anybody that could trump do matha Catholic high

154
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: school in Maryland.

155
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: Nah, I don't think anybody. Anybody comes close to it.

156
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: From football and basketball, any any sport you name it.

157
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: You know we got guys who are going on to

158
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: do it at a high level, just not just at

00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: and you really looked up to because you knew that

183
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: you were going to go on the same path.

184
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I would say, you know, I played with Chase Young,

185
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 4: you know Chase with the you know, four five, five

186
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: star All American coming out of high school. My first

187
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: year in varsity, he was a senior. So just seeing

188
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: how he operated, how he came to work every single day,

189
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: and and and being able to watch him work and

190
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: watch him do his thing, and just watching his climb,

191
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 4: you know, it was really special to me because you're

192
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: not played with my shirts locking him.

193
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: I share the field with him. You know, another guy

194
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 5: who I look up to was, you know, Rodney McCloud.

195
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 5: You know, I always joke a rout whenever I see him, Like,

196
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: you know, my first everite football camp, you know, was

197
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 5: your camp.

198
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: I was thirteen years old. I want your camp, and

199
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: you know, to be able to play with him my

200
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: rookie year. Of course he always hasn't make him feel old,

201
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: but you know, it's always fun to joke around about that.

202
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: But those are the guys who you know.

203
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: Of course, there are whole bunch of guys who came

204
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,239
Speaker 4: through themata you know, played hard.

205
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: And do what they're supposed to and now are playing

206
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: at a high level.

207
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: And continuing only upset the pass. So yeah, definitely Chase, definitely,

208
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: Robert Clout you guys.

209
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Like that now from a bast did you play basketball?

210
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: At all.

211
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: Growing up in middle school, not in high school.

212
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Because Markel Foltz, who was the number one player taking

213
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: in the draft, right, I think, I don't know if

214
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 2: you crossed over with him. Hunter Dickinson also, was there,

215
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: either of those guys there when you were there?

216
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Markel I was a freshman. Marquel was there, and

217
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, very favously. You know, he would

218
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 4: I remember he used to be saw me at the

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: snack station one time and you know, gave me a

220
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: couple of dollars to go get like Orama or something

221
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: like that. You know, so he was really down there,

222
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: really down to earth as a person, you know, and

223
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: everybody knew at that point, you know, after his year

224
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: at Washington he was gonna go be a lottery pick

225
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: on number one overall. So you know, just showed the

226
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: type of guys that came through the MATHA Yeah, Hunter

Speaker 4: a better person.

231
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: You could have waited one more year till you were sophomore.

232
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: Markel could have bought you the entire Romen factory as

233
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, right.

234

241
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: let's say, now through two games, as opposed to the

242
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: uncertainty perhaps at the beginning of the season.

243
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 4: I think you know, at this point we are we are.

244
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,920

247
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: You're just here to prove yourself right, prove to yourself,

248
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 5: prove to your teammates that you are the team, you

249
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: are the players that you say you want to be,

250
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: and that you are you say you are.
