Speaker 1: and one oh seven five the Fan Big Run.

00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: He's at the forty thirty five thirty twenty man.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 3: He's inside the Red Song.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: He's trek down from behind down to the nineteen yard line.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: We're talking Colts and recapping the action.

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 3: Ten to five, but touchdown for the Colts. How fout

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: an idiott?

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: What's cars on a block?

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 3: Put settles in plus it downfield and it is picked

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: off by the Colts.

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: We're running the other way, looking inside the thirty yard

13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: line and it's Sack Winnard.

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Now here's the voice of the Colts, Matt Taylor from

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the Indiana Union Construction Industry Radio Studio.

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,000

Speaker 2: dot com. Colts Roundtable Live with every Monday night in

20
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: the regular season following Colts games on Sundays. We got

21
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: a loaded show tonight recapping the Colts Week one law

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: to the Jaguars yesterday thirty one twenty one. Certainly a

23
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: tough setback to start the season for the Colts, who

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: played very well in spurts, but couldn't hang on in

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter to make enough plays in crunch time.

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: The Colts led twenty one to seventeen. In the final period,

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: they were forced to punt to the Jaguars in their

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 2: own territory and one of the best special teams returners

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: in the game, Jamal agnew He sat back, fielded a

30
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: punt on the bounce at his own six yard line,

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: and then turned on the burners returned at forty eight

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: yards to the colts forty six yard line that set

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: up a go ahead touchdown drive by the Jaguars, who

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: took the lead twenty four to twenty one with over

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: five minutes to play. On the second snap of the

36
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: ensuing series, Anthony Richardson, he was intercepted by Jaguars cornerback

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: Tyson Campbell, and two snaps after that, Jags running back

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Travis Etn cut back against the grain and scored a

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty six yard rushing touchdown to put the visitors up

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: by ten. It was a devastating sequence for the Colts,

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: who allowed two touchdowns in a span of one minute

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: and six seconds. Late in the fourth quarter. The Colts defense.

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: They allowed thirty one points of the game, but they

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: played much better than that output would suggest. The best

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: play of the day obviously on defense, without a doubt,

46
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: the strip fumble, strip fumble recovery return for a touchdown

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: by DeForest Buckner, and the third quarter Buckner strip sack

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. The ball came flying out into the possession

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: of Jaguars rookie running back Tank Bigsby, but the referees

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: never blew the whistle, even though all twenty two players

51
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: on the field seemingly appeared to believe the play was over.

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: Zaire Franklin for the Colts then punched the ball out

53
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: of Bigsby's hands and bounced to Buckner, who scooped it

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: up race twenty six yards for his second career defensive

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: touchdown that put the Colts up twenty one to seventeen.

56
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Saint Lucas Oil Stadium into a frenzy. A Colt seemingly

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: had all the momentum at that time, but it was

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: not to be. Speaking of Zaire Franklin, he racked up

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: a team high and a career high eighteen tackles, which

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: also ranked tied for the fourth most in a single

61
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: game in Colts history. Anthony Richardson started the game. He

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: became the youngest quarterback in the history of the Colts

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: to start a regular season game. Finished the day twenty

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: four of thirty seven, passing for two hundred and twenty

65
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: three yards. He was the Colts leading rusher, also with

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: forty yards on ten carries. He talented a rushing score

67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: in the first half, and through his first career touchdown

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: to Michael Pittman, Junior on a screen pass that he

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: turned into a thirty nine yard score in the third quarter.

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Richardson became the first rookie quarterback in franchise history to

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: register a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown and a

72
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: season opener. That Pittman touchdown came on the first drive

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: of the third quarter for the Colts, and unfortunately after that,

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: the offense found it tough to move the ball. Following

75
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: the Pittman touchdown, the Colts didn't record a first down

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: on their next five drives, and they wouldn't score an

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: offensive point the rest of the game. The Colts had

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: four straight drives that lasted four plays or less than

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: the third and fourth quarters and they had a tough

80
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: time in situational football all game long. They were two

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: for twelve on third down and one for five on

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: fourth down. As we said, a very busy show tonight

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: recapping the fo's Week one loss. We'll do that in

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: more detail coming up with Colts analysts Rick Venturi and

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: Joe Wrights, and we're also taking your question tonight on

86
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Twitter for Rick and Joe and also for head coach

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Shane Stikin, who will join here in just a moment.

88
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: You can tweet your questions in tonight using hashtag Colts Roundtable,

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: and we'll squeeze in as many as we can this evening.

90
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: But as we said, it's time to lead off the show,

91
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: our weekly chat with the head coach of the Colt

92
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: Shane Steiken, presented by Citizens Energy Group here on a

93
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Monday night. And Coach, I know certainly that's not the

94
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: way you wanted your first game in the NFL with

95
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: the Colts to go as a head coach. But after

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: watching the game film again today, what were the differences

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: in the game as to why the Colts came up

98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: short in Week one?

99
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: I think it's just little details, you know what I mean?

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: We got to clean up the little details day in

101
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: and day out, and obviously getting those things cleaned up,

102
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: the communication part. You know, we just had some miscues

103
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 4: there that could have been the difference in the game.

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 4: And that's what this league is, you know, the details

105
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: on every little thing. You know, one play can change

106
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: the game. So we got to be better there, clean

107
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: those things up and get ready for Houston.

108
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Anthony Richards in his first game, he

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: goes twenty four for thirty seven, two twenty three, a

110
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: touchdown rush, a touchdown pass. He rushed forty times or

111
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: a should say ten times for forty yards. As the

112
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: head coach and certainly the play caller, what were your

113
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: overall thoughts on in his first performance in the NFL.

114
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: I thought he played really solid, and I really did.

115
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: I thought he saw the field really well. You know,

116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: there's some detailed things we got to clean up, but

117
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: for his first time out there, the way he performed

118
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: I thought was really solid to give our guys a.

119
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 5: Chance to win.

120
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: Obviously, he's explosive with the ball, can make some big

121
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: time plays for us, but we just got to keep going,

122
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: you know, in the right direction, and I'm sure he

123
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: will What were.

124
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: Some things that tells you from that game yesterday, what

125
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: are some things that tell you he's ready for this,

126
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: He can he can handle the magnitude of all of

127
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: these situations.

128
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: I think he just had great presence and great calmness

129
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 4: throughout the whole game, you know, through the ups and downs,

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: just the way he handled everything. You know, throughout the game,

131
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 4: you know, different looks that the defense was given him.

132
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: You know, he had to check the ball down a

133
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: few times. You know, we're trying to take a few

134
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: shots and they're playing soft just to get the bottom

135
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: of his hands and he can get some easy completions.

136
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: There was good to see.

137
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: And then obviously you know his running ability, you know

138
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: in the run game. You know he displayed some of

139
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: that yesterday, which was really good to see.

140
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: You know, he had that interception obviously in the fourth quarter.

141
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: What are some things about that play in that moment,

142
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: What are some things that you want him to learn

143
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: from and grow from that?

144
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think there is you know, it's twenty

145
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 4: four to twenty one in that situation, you know, it's

146
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: you got a chance to go down and score, and

147
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: you know the defense the corner just sunk back a

148
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 4: little bit too much right there. It's just you know,

149
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 4: just checking it down right there, you know what I mean,

150
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: and making it you know, whatever it is third and

151
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: five in that situation. So just being smart in those

152
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: situations and he'll learn from that and he'll grow.

153
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: At Shane steiging with us on Colts Round Table Live

154
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,159

155
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,039

156
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,720

157
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: first taste of the regular season as a head coach

158
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

159
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 5: Shoot It was awesome. You know, the fans at Lucas Oil.

00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: We were rocking. It was loud in there. It was

161
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: awesome experience. First time out there at home with our

00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: You know, we'll get to the fan questions coming up

165
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: in just a second, but like you said, you know close.

166
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: You know, the Colts led twenty one to seventeen six

167
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: minutes to go there in the fourth quarter, so you're

168
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: right there right What did you tell the team? What

169
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: was your message to the team in the locker room

170
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: after the game.

171
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: Just we got to finish, you know what I mean,

172
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: We got to finish in those situations when you got

173
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: the lead, you know, at some point, you know, we

174
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: got to step up, you know, whether it's a call

175
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: or a player you know, making a play right there,

176
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: you know, to put those things away. And that's what

177
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: we so I told the team today and the team

178
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: meeting is we got to finish, you know, and we

179
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: get those leads like that in the fourth quarter, we

180
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: got to find a way to finish.

181
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 3: All right, Let's go to the mail bag.

182
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: Several fans have tweeted in their questions some good Onesier

183
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: coach hashtag Colts round tables the way to get in

184
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: touch with us tonight and every Monday night with head

185
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: coach Shane Stichen for those fan questions. Brian is up first, coach.

186
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: He's asking.

187
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: With such a powerful and mobile quarterback, it was tough

188
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: to see us get stuffed on that fourth down on

189
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: that quarterback sneak. What happened on that play? And how

190
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: do the Colts get better at that going forward?

191
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's something we just got to focus on, Dan

192
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 4: and day out. You know what I mean, we got

193
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: fourth and inches right there. You know, we got to

194
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 4: be better there. Obviously, we got to be able to

195
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: get that. We got to get more drive up front.

196
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: You know, low pad wins in that situation, and we

197
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: got to get lower and we just got to drive

198
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: and get those inches.

199
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: All right. Carl is up next.

200
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: Kind of that fourth down vein What went into deciding

201
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: to go forward on fourth down at the end of

202
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: the game down ten instead of kicking a field goal

203
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: as early as possible and then attempting an on side kick.

204
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think in that situation right there, you know,

205
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: you got we had a little momentum going right there,

206
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 4: and you know, if you score a touchdown right there,

207
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 4: and then you got to get the on side kick anyways,

208
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: and you know, if you get the on side kick,

209
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: you got to go fifty five yards to score a

210
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: touchdown right right. So if you get the touchdown there

211
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: in that situation, you get the onside kick. Now you

212
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: just got to go, you know, twenty yards to get

213
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: yourself in field.

214
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: Goer so close right, you have a goal to go

215
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: situation there.

216
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to Chris's question, what did you

217
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: think of the offensive line play on Sunday? Ryman for me.

218
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: That was the guy that really impressed me watching the game.

219
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: That's Chris talking, not me talking about it.

220
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, Ryman did a really good job. You know.

221
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: I thought those guys played hard and physical. You know,

222
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: obviously we gotta we gotta, you know, get the run

223
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: game going pretty good.

224
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: Next week.

225
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: We gotta be better there. It starts with myself. I

226
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: thought those guys played hard and physical.

227
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: Though.

228
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: I thought the past protection was pretty solid for Anthony.

229
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: But again, we just got to keep growing, getting better every.

230
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 5: Week, all right.

231
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: That Shane steiging with us colts around table live handful

232
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: more questions here for coach. Let's go down to Russ's question,

233
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: what percentage of the offense is installed and available for

234
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson.

235
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: There's a good chunk of it installed.

236
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: Obviously, we had wrinkles, you know, every week, you know,

237
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: looking at different opponents and who we're playing from a

238
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: schematic standpoint on defense, We're always trying to add wrinkles

239
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: to our offense and get good at the things we

240
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: do really well, and then just you know, keep going

241
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 4: from there and getting better.

242
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: All right, Matthew, it seemed like Richardson handed off on

243
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: RPOs more than he kept it, do you want him

244
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: to keep it more often if the read is there,

245
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: considering it was hard for our backs to generate yards

246
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: in the running game.

247
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. All those RPOs are dictated off what the

248
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: defense does. So you know, if the defense is gonna

249
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: give him the pole read, he's gonna pull it. And

250
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: then if they give him the give read, you know

251
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: he'll give it. So you know, those things had look

252
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: different every single week, you know, dictated off what the

253
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: defense does to our offense.

254
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: All right, Wes, have you ever seen or been part

255
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: of a crazier play than the buckner returned for touchdown?

256
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

257
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I've been a part of one,

258
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: you know, I think in the past I've probably seen

259
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 4: it on you know, a clip, you know, back in

260
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: the day. But you know, we just preached get on

261
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: all loose balls, right because you never know, especially when

262
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 4: something like that happens at the quarterback and that ball

263
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: doesn't be thrown you know far, something's probably up, you

264
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: know what I mean, So just get on the loose balls.

265
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: And obviously they didn't blow it dead, and if our

266
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: guys would have been just standing around too, they probably

267
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: would have blown it dead. But it was a great

268
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: job by Zaiir right getting in there and punching that

269
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 4: thing out, and then Buck getting on it, you know

270
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: after the sack and scoring.

271
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 5: So that was that was really good to see.

272
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: This question is coming for me. I mean how much

273
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: how much screaming and yelling was going on to the sidelines.

274
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 5: Oh, I was going nuts. I was like, get on it.

275
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: It's still going right on it.

276
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 5: Whistles not Dad, get on it right?

277
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, precisely, all right.

278
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 2: Last one Tanner is asking how did Shaq Lennard great out?

279
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: What kind of playing time limitations was he on?

280
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: Yesterday?

281
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 4: Shack played awesome, you know, his first time back out

282
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: there with the guys, and just his leadership presence that

283
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: he played with. Shoot, he was all around the ball,

284
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: him and z ey ear inside and speed as well.

285
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 4: I thought all three of those guys played well. But

286
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: you know, Shack being the first time back out there

287
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 4: in a while, I thought he played a really solid game.

288
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 5: All right.

289
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: Wrapping up, let's look ahead a bit to week two.

290
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: I know it's early, right the film study just started

291
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: on the Houston Texans, but your early impressions of Houston

292
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: with a rookie quarterback and new head coach, and just

293
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: the challenge they posed in the AFC South.

294
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think with any team in this league, you know,

295
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 4: all opponents are gonna be hard no matter who you're playing,

296
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 4: especially to vision opponent.

297
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: Obviously.

298
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: I'm just starting to dive into the tape. Just started

299
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: watching a little bit of that Baltimore game this morning.

300
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: But it's a good football team. Shoot, they were hanging

301
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 4: in there, you know, in the third quarter with Baltimore

302
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: all the way up. I got to go finish the

303
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: game here and watch the cutups tonight. But it's gonna

304
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: be a good football team, you know. Obviously on the

305
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: road division opponent, it'll be a heck of a challenge

306
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 4: for us.

307
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: Indeed.

308
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,760

Speaker 3: I know you went to the game.

348
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: How is your Week one experience at Lucas Oil Stadium.

349
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: Touchdowntown was great Before the game, the game was great,

350
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 6: exciting atmosphere. I think everybody wanted to see Richardson how

351
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: this new team's gonna be under Shane Steich. And it

352
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: was an exciting game and the Colts did a lot

353
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: of positive things. Obviously there's a ton of things to

354
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 6: work on, but I think that excitement level everybody from

355
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 6: the Colts wants to see what's this new age Colt's.

356
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 3: Gonna look like?

357
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 6: In anthy Richardson, So it was it was fun to

358
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: be in Lucas Soyl despite the result, because I think

359
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 6: the energy and kind of the feel and the mystery

360
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 6: of what this team and this quarterback's gonna be is

361
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 6: something that really is unlike this franchise has scene for

362
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 6: the last quarter century.

363
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. And Rick, for you, I know,

364
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: the setback that was tough yesterday. We'll have a lot

365
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: to get into here coming up on the tail of

366
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: the tape. But I know it was good for you

367
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: and I to be back together inside the booth together

368
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: chemistry wise, I felt like we were right there regular

369
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: season for mid regular season.

370
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 7: For him, Oh, it was you know, it was intense

371
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 7: and your guys are both right. I mean, the atmosphere

372
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 7: was phenomenal. You know, it was a bit of a

373
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 7: letdown because I feel like we felt like we were

374
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 7: gonna get it, you know, and you know, no loss

375
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 7: is good. I mean, Joe will tell you this, Joe

376
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 7: didn loseman into his career here. You can't accept it,

377
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 7: you know, you really can't. You can't say, well, we

378
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 7: you know, we played good, but but I think something

379
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 7: can be disappointing and encouraging at the same time. I

380
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: know that's an anomaly, but I do think so. And

381
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 7: the encouraging part to me is the quarterback he's gonna

382
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 7: be he gonna be terrific. I mean he's gonna stress defenses,

383
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 7: you know, with his legs like nothing we've ever seen.

384
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 7: Like Joe said, and then I'll tell you what was

385
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 7: more impressive to me. And he kind of went out

386
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 7: and kind of ran out of gas in the fourth quarter.

387
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 7: But the sixty four percent completion, I mean, this was

388
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 7: the guy that was fifty four in college and was

389
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 7: forty four in the preseason. So he comes right out

390
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 7: of the box and throws for sixty four percent. I

391
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 7: think we'll take that for Richardson with all the other

392
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 7: tools that he had. I also thought from about the

393
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 7: about a three minutes to go in the second quarter

394
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 7: until ten minutes into the fourth quarter, we played really

395
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 7: good defense. I mean it was you know, it was stifling.

396
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 7: I thought our young corners battled, our defensive line really

397
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 7: asserted itself in the third quarter, you know, with Buckner's

398
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 7: sack and you know with pays sack. I mean in

399
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 7: that period of time, you know, we had a defensive touchdown,

400
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 7: a fourth and one stop in two sacks. So you know,

401
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, there's things there. I think I'm

402
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 7: really encouraged with our with our lines, both sides of

403
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 7: the ball. We'll get into the schematics. I think we

404
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 7: have some problems there, but I'm there. And then the disappointment,

405
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 7: of course comes and I think Agnew's return did it all.

406
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 7: I think Agnew's return, you know, just totally changed the game.

407
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 7: And from you know what he made that with ten

408
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 7: minutes to go, and from that point on, it was

409
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter collapse and we can't have that, I mean,

410
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 7: and it was. It ended up being all three phases

411
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 7: because offense had really been stifled for you know, go

412
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 7: way back to the second quarter and was you know,

413
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 7: three and out, three and out, three and out, and

414
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 7: then the big turnover. The two worst plays We'll get

415
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 7: into that, but two bad plays, the incomplete to Grantson

416
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 7: and then the interception, and then the defense couldn't stop them,

417
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 7: you know, they couldn't stop them in the red zone.

418
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 7: You know, we can make excuses, but at the end

419
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 7: of the day, you know, you and I have talked

420
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 7: about it. You have to win in the fourth quarter,

421
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: you know, and until we get that mentality, then you know,

422
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 7: We're gonna have ways to go.

423
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: No doubt about that.

424
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 2: All right, A lot to talk about tonight again with

425
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: you until seven o'clock Eastern time tonight here on Colts

00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,639

Speaker 2: get your questions in for Rick and Joe coming up

430
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: later in the show. But first, let's talk about the

431
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: tale of the tape, Fellas. What stood out to you

432
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: after watching the game film of the Colts and Jaguars

433
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: in week number one? A lot to dissect, Joe, the

434
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: floor is yours. What is your tale of the tape?

435
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: After a disappointing thirty one to twenty one loss for

436
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: the Colts right out of the gate in Week one.

437
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 6: I think coach really hit on it. Agnew's punt return

438
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 6: was the game changer for sure. I mean you go

439
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 6: back early fourth quarter, Matt, the Colts have first and

440
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 6: at the forty eight yard line, up twenty one seventeen.

441
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people see the score, maybe

442
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: nationally think oh, thirty one to twenty one. Yeah, the

443
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 6: Colts didn't play well. Jags beat him by ten.

444
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 7: Hohum.

445
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 6: We were up four with the ball really at midfield.

446
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 6: We get stuff, two bad runs, Jackson loses three. Then

447
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 6: we got to punt the ball and we're getting ready

448
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 6: to pin him inside their ten, and that ball bounces

449
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 6: over our head. He picks it up, runs fifty down

450
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 6: the sideline and the defense battle there, and then we

451
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: had that fourth and two. We still had the chance

452
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 6: to stop him control the game, but they score. Boom,

453
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 6: We come out and turn it over another score, and

454
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 6: within you know, seventy five seconds a game clock, they

455
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 6: had put up fourteen points and the game was over.

456
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 6: So I think it was a matter of I thought

457
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 6: the Colts played really hard. I thought the defensive line

458
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 6: impressed me. I thought those cornerbacks really covered well, maybe

459
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 6: a little better than I thought. And I think again

460
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 6: Rick mentioned it, Richardson twenty for thirty seven. You'll take

461
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 6: that accuracy all day. I thought he had good command.

462
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 6: We only had four penalties. Let's think about that. That's

463
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 6: really good for rookie quarterback clean up operation. But at

464
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 6: the end of the day, you can usually boil this

465
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 6: game down into turnover. Third down in red zone. We

466
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 6: were one of three. In the red zone, we had

467
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 6: three turnovers, so we are minus one, including two Deon

468
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 6: Jackson fumbles which cannot have and third down we were

469
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: three to twelve. Fourth down we were one of three.

470
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 6: So really you look at four of fifteen or sorry,

471
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 6: one to five on fourth down four of seventeen in

472
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 6: those critical down situations, you can't win in the NFL

473
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 6: like that, and you cannot win. And we even had

474
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 6: a defensive touchdown and still lost by ten in the scoreboard.

475
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 6: It's because of those critical situations. What I was most

476
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 6: disappointed in, Matt was the short yardage. We have got

477
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 6: to be better short yardage. We got to be able

478
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 6: to get third and one when we hand the ball off,

479
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 6: we got to be able to get fourth and when

480
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: we run that quarterback sneak. That was really disappointing for

481
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 6: me to watch those opportunities in those possessions killed by

482
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: lack of short yardage execution.

483
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know what, the things that I really

484
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 7: liked coming out of there is the quarterback. I know

485
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 7: what he's going to be able to do running the ball,

486
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 7: I think you know. More importantly, though, the sixty four

487
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 7: percent up really high on that If he can throw

488
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 7: at sixty four percent with his overall talent, and we

489
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 7: got to help him out. Our skill guys gave us

490
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 7: absolutely nothing in this game, absolutely nothing. We'll get into that,

491
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: you know. And then again, I thought our defense really

492
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 7: showed what it could be. You know, it's still it's

493
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 7: got to raise up though when it's under pressure, but

494
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 7: you saw flashes. I think of what it could be.

495
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 7: I think we have a chance to be good on

496
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 7: both sides of the ball up front. I don't think

497
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 7: there's any doubt about it. But we have to get

498
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 7: that mentality. There's no question that that game turned with

499
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 7: ten minutes to go with Agnew's return. But we got

500
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 7: to get that mentality that we can close the game.

501
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 7: We couldn't do it last year, and that's got to

502
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 7: change it really does, you know right now, yesterday we

503
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 7: were a hell of a seven inning team, but we

504
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 7: can play nine.

505
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: Colts Fans remember the weather authorities are FOX fifty nine

506
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: and CBS four, Indiana's largest and the weather rate certified

507
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: most accurate weather CBS four in.

508
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: Fox fifty nine. And that's the tale of the tape with.

509
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: Rick Venturi and Joe Wrights and their initial reactions after

510
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: the Colts came up short against the Jaguars on Sunday.

511
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: After this quick time out, we'll break out a segment

512
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: called freak Out or chill out as it relates to

513
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: some key areas for the Colts after only one game

514
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: that lost to Jacksonville. That's coming up next here on

530
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: Colts All Right, It's time to bust out a round

531
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: of freakouts or chillouts after only one game. That's what

532
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: people do, right, They like to make fast judgments about

533
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: their favorite NFL team. Let's talk about some areas for

534
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: the Colts after one game and decide if it's appropriate

535
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: to freakout or chill outs regarding the outputs we saw

536
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium against the Jaguars.

537
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: Let's talk about crunch time. Joe wrights Jaguars.

538
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: As you said back in segment one, they erupted for

539
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns in a span of about one

540
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: minute and six seconds in the fourth quarter. The Colts

541
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: went from leading twenty one to seventeen to down thirty

542
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: one to twenty one in a blink of an eye.

543
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: At one point in the second half, the Colts had

544
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: four straight drives that lasted only four plays. They got

545
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: a touchdown on their first drive of the second half,

546
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: but after that the Colts did not record a first

547
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: down on the next five drives and certainly only fourteen

548
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: points for the game. So their ability Joe to execute

549
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 2: on offense in crunch time, is it time to freak

550
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: out or chill out on the Colts after one game?

551
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 6: Well, you're right about that. Everybody in the NFL, the

552
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 6: average fan, now their team's either winning the Super Bowl or.

553
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 3: You're gonna be zero seven times year one.

554
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know how that goes.

555
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 6: But to me, I'm not freaking out about our offense

556
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 6: in large part because we got a twenty one year

557
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 6: old rookie quarterback, the third youngest quarterback ever that played

558
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 6: in that ballgame, and I thought he's continued to impress

559
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 6: me and improve. But what I will say is this

560
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 6: was deja vuda last year, and that's you play well

561
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 6: through two and a half three quarters.

562
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: The games elevated in the fourth court.

563
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 6: The money players and the money plays and coaches are

564
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 6: saving their best calls for the fourth quarter. And we

565
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 6: have got to find a raise our level play in

566
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter because that's what goods do and that's

567
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 6: what playoff teams do, and that's what Jacksonville did. And

568
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: I think offensively, when you look at our second half

569
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 6: and went punt over, punt, punt turnover the last five

570
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: that that's not something the freak out about, because again

571
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 6: I mentioned all those things we have in youth, but

572
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: it's something that we need to get better at. We're

573
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 6: gonna continue to get the same result we got last year.

574
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 6: Where you're heading the game, it's a close game, and

575
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 6: all of a sudden the fourth quarter, the other team

576
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: pulls away.

577
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 7: I'm freaking out, not just because of what happened yesterday,

578
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 7: and I'm freaking out because of the fourth quarter. And

579
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 7: I'll get into why I don't. I'm not freaking out

580
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 7: for the season. I mean this is I'm freaking out

581
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 7: from the standpoint when you when you play the opener,

582
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 7: what you're doing is you're finding the baseline for what

583
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 7: you are, not what you can be. I mean, that's

584
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 7: that's the difference. But there's only there's some things that

585
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 7: trouble me. And that's a little bit of the freak out. Okay,

586
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 7: number one in the fourth quarter, and you and I,

587
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 7: you and I probably more than anybody in this town

588
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 7: have talked about this. I have always said one of

589
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 7: the three biggest issues is not being able to finish games,

590
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 7: to not be able to stop people, not be able

591
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 7: to move it into fourth quarter. You chronicled it this week,

592
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 7: have the worst differential coming out of last year of

593
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: any team in the NFL in the fourth quarter thirty

594
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 7: two on defense, But the worst differential and we picked

595
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 7: up right where we left off. Lauds. We lost the

596
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 7: game fourteen and nothing, so that fourth quarter fourteen and nothing.

597
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 7: So to me as a coaching staff, that's something that

598
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 7: I have to have a sense of urgency. I've got

599
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: to get everybody together and we have got to get

600
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: the mental toughness, you know, like Lombardi used to say.

601
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 7: And people are saying, well, the defense got tired, Hey,

602
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 7: fatigue makes cowards of us. All. You know, nobody cares

603
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: if you're tired with four minutes to go, You've got

604
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 7: to make the stop in the red zone. The other

605
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 7: thing that I'm really worried about on an offense, okay,

606
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: is our skill level. I really am. When you look

607
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 7: at our skill guys compared to Jacksonville is not even close.

608
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: If you and I, Richardson is the least of our worries.

609
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 7: He's the guy that gives us a chance. But when

610
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 7: you look at it, just statistically yesterday and you could

611
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 7: see it on the field, take the quick screen out

612
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 7: of it, Take the quick screen to Pittman out of it,

613
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 7: because that adds thirty nine yards. But that's really almost

614
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 7: like a punt return or a run you know, of

615
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 7: which Grantson and Ryman did a great job. But if

616
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 7: you put all our running game together by running backs,

617
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 7: it's twenty five yards. If you put Pierce in. Pittman

618
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 7: and I made such an emphasis on this that we

619
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 7: were going to have to win outside the numbers to

620
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 7: relieve Anthony, particularly with these heavy fronts, and you put

621
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 7: them together, it's sixty eight yards in fifty eight yards,

622
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 7: and so total total, that's what it is. So if

623
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 7: you put that together, those that whole those two groups

624
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 7: really didn't account for one hundred yards, you know, And

625
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, you know, that's why

626
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 7: you're three for seventeen on third and fourth down. And

627
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 7: when you're like that and you can't get explosive plays,

628
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 7: you're just not you're going to be at fourteen points.

629
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 7: And that's what our offense had fourteen points yesterday. You know,

630
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 7: I think if Richardson's day in, we would have got

631
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 7: another touchdown, But you know, it doesn't matter. At the

632
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 7: end of the day, we had fourteen and so we're

633
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 7: kind of back in that and we've got to get

634
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 7: out of it. Our skill guys really got to step

635
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 7: up or it's going to be a long year.

636
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's pick up right there, Rick, stay

637
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: right there, because running backs for the Colts, as you said,

638
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: fifteen carries for only twenty five yards. The longest rush

639
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: was a seven yarder by Dion Jackson. The Colts, as

640
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 2: we know, they were without Jonathan Taylor. They were without

641
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: Zach Moss on Sunday. He missed the game, still rehabbing

642
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: a broken forearm that he suffered back in training camp.

643
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Evan Holl left the game in the third quarter with

644
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: a knee injury. But Jackson he averaged just one point

645
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: one yards per carry. He lost two fumbles. He had

646
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: the other drop in the passing game. So let's stay there,

647
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: freak out or chill out the Colts running game in

648
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: support of Anthony Richardson. After one game, Rick, is a

649
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: time to freak out or chill out on these backs

650
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: and the offensive line and the running attack.

651
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 7: Well, I'm gonna freak out again. Okay, I'm going to

652
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 7: really freak out again because this was a you know,

653
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 7: I expected more, and Joe and I will I will

654
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 7: both address this. We're going to address this in a sense. Now,

655
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 7: Jackson was a disappointment, there is any question about it.

656
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 7: Particularly not so much in the lack of yardage. There

657
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 7: just wasn't much there. But from the standpoint, he's got

658
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 7: hold on the football. I mean, you know that would

659
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 7: that you know that the fourth down fumble was insignificant,

660
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 7: but the first down fumble early in the game that

661
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 7: was huge. That was absolutely huge, and you just got stripped.

662
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 7: You can't let that happen. And there isn't any question that,

663
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 7: you know, all of a sudden, you know, you know,

664
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: and then Hull goes down. I mean, we look painfully

665
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 7: thin there. But the thing that freaks me out more

666
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 7: than that is the fact that we look no different

667
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 7: against that bare defense than we did a year ago.

668
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 7: And I thought, you know, with the addition of Richardson,

669
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 7: that that would loosen him up and that we would

670
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 7: get some gap blocking and maybe some lead plays you

671
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 7: put in the full, the tight end back in the backfield,

672
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 7: you know, things that hurt that defense. But we just

673
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: kept trying to hammer with those inside zones and there

674
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 7: just was absolutely no daylight. If not for Richardson's forty yards,

675
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 7: we get twenty five yards of rushing. I mean, that's

676
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 7: that is just abysmal, And I think what freaks me

677
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 7: out is this was the problem last year, and now

678
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 7: we've added a quarterback who can at least get to

679
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 7: the edge, but we had no better design yesterday than

680
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 7: we did a year ago.

681
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I agree with coach. I'm freaking out on

682
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 6: the running game because I think that his point about

683
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 6: the bear defense, we're going to see that all year

684
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 6: unless we find a way to fix it. And you know,

685
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 6: the bear defense, as you put a guy over the center,

686
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: you put guys over two guards, and so traditionally that

687
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 6: makes it really hard to run those inside zone plays

688
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 6: because you have a lot of man blocks and I'll

689
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 6: tell you it's hard to move another three hundred pound

690
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 6: guy backwards if you're just blocking him straight ahead when

691
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 6: he doesn't want to go back there against as will.

692
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 6: And so traditionally, to account for the bear defense, you

693
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 6: run a power or a gap scheme which means everybody

694
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 6: blocks down, you pull the backside guard around for a

695
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: power or you have a fullback that leads up. And

696
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 6: I was hoping to see some more of that type

697
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: of play with either you know, a skill position where

698
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 6: Richardson's running a quarterback power or something to account for

699
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: that bear defense. And I think the other answer, Matt

700
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 6: is you got to throw on first down if they're

701
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 6: gonna play bear and they're gonna bring an eighth man

702
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 6: up and they bringing Cisco number five the safety down

703
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 6: a couple of those short yardages. He was just blitzing

704
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 6: off the edge. We had nobody to account for him.

705
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 6: You got to be willing to throw the ball and

706
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 6: play action stuff on first down to loosen it up.

707
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 6: I felt like all game we never took any shots deep,

708
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 6: and I felt like they just got tighter and tighter

709
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 6: as the game went, more and more guys in that

710
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 6: box around the line of scrimmage. And I think until

711
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 6: we prove that we got an answer for it. You know,

712
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 6: Rick knows this is a copycat league. We're going to

713
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 6: see the same thing down in Houston next Sunday.

714
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, just to dovetail off that and

715
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 7: again go back to my original statement here a minute ago.

716
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 7: If you can't throw the ball outside against that stuff

717
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 7: and you let him put an eight to nine up there, yeah,

718
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 7: you know, Anthony can be Jim Thor, but they're eventually

719
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 7: numbers get you and so your skill, guys. And this

720
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 7: is where the outside passing game is also tied in it.

721
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 7: Bear Joe just said it. You've got to be willing

722
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 7: to take that outside and go and we didn't even

723
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: try it. I was really shocked on that.

724

763
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: This is for you.

764
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 2: I think this is right in your wheelhouse as a

765
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. Is it time to start thinking about Zaire

766
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: Franklin being the star of our linebacking corps even though

767
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: Shaq Leonard is back. That's right on. Cue Zaire Franklin. Yesterday,

768
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: Rick eighteen tackles in game number one, backing up what

769
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: he did last year leading the NFL, or I should

770
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: say leading the Colts setting a franchise record for tackles

771
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: in a single season last year.

772
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think you know this guy has come so

773
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 7: far to me, he is definitely the star of this

774
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 7: defensive unit right now. Now We've got other guys playing good,

775
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 7: don't get me wrong, but this guy is the star.

776
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 7: And he's a real leader. He's not a cheerleader, he's

777
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 7: a real leader. This guy is smart, he's tough. I'll

778
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 7: tell you the best compliment that I can give him

779
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 7: is he could have played for me at any time

780
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 7: in any era, because he is not only a very

781
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 7: good athlete in today's game, but he is the guy

782
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 7: that will hammer you. I absolutely respect him. I just

783
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 7: think that this guy has it. You know, he's just

784
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 7: going to get better and better. I mean, he breaks

785
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 7: up a play early, a pass. He's the guy that

786
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 7: you know, after Buckner's sack, he's everybody stopped. I watched

787
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 7: it five times again this morning. Everybody stopped. But Zia

788
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 7: just knocks that. You know, the guy picks it up

789
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 7: like it's an incompletion. Zaia just keeps playing and knocks

790
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 7: it out of his hands for you know what ends

791
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 7: up being a touchdown. So now I think he's playing terrific.

792
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 7: I mean, the only play that was a glitches and

793
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 7: it's not his fault, it's schematic. I mean they were

794
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 7: able to isolate Zay Jones in that fourth and two

795
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 7: that that Joe was talking about and beat him in there.

796
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 7: But he's gonna win that one. I mean you can't.

797
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 7: You know, you get a top wide receiver. You got

798
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 7: to help that guy in that sense. The other guy,

799
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 7: and I'm going to just throw it out here. The

800
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 7: other guy that could play for me at any time

801
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 7: anywhere is EJ Speed four. That fourth down play is terrific.

802
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 7: He's and the reason not like both these guys is

803
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 7: that they're not just good athletes, but they bring the

804
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 7: physical They bring the physical pop with them, and that's

805
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 7: why I say those guys could play in any era.

806
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that he had the great stop on that fourth

807
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: down as you said on Evan Ingram. Yeah, just blew

808
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: up the play and then got a tackle for loss there.

809
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Shawn's question again. Hashtag Colts

810
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: Round Table to interact with us tonight and every Monday

811
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: night going forward with Rick Vincury and Joe wrightsigm Matt Taylor.

812
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: Sewan has tweeted in a question here, Joe, how did

813
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: our excuse me? How did our offensive line great out

814
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: after one game and a new scheme after their trials

815
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 2: last season collectively as a unit?

816
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 6: Great question, Sean. Although worry and the talk about the

817
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 6: offensive line from last year, I thought they played winning

818
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 6: football and so we used to talk in the meeting room.

819
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 6: Did you play winning football? Ie? Did you play well

820
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 6: enough as a group that we helped the team can

821
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 6: tribute to win. I think individually we did well in

822
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 6: our blocks. I think some of our more issues were schematically.

823
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 6: We talked about the bear defense earlier and continuing to

824
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 6: try to run inside zone when you got those middle

825
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 6: three guys covered.

826
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 3: That's tough.

827
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 6: I thought, you know, Fries had probably the toughest I

828
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 6: think of the men in the group, But I think Ryman,

829
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: the guy everybody's left tackle. I thought he did well

830
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 6: on that Pittman thirty nine yard screen. He got out

831
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 6: there quick. He had a great block on the corner.

832
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 6: He really freed Pittman and escorted him down the field.

833
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 6: I thought our pass pro at times was a little

834
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 6: bit leaky. They were running some games on the right

835
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 6: side of the line, specifically that they got some leakage

836
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 6: in there. I do think the scheme helps, and I

837
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 6: think with Richardson running around, all the different plays that

838
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 6: we do can kind of put some of those guys

839
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 6: in conflict. But the bottom line is, I think schematically

840
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 6: we just have to understand that if teams are going

841
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 6: to go heavy in the box and bring an eighth

842
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 6: man guy, and if they're gonna play bear defense on

843
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 6: first down, we got to have some answers from a

844
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: play calling standpoint, because otherwise that's just tough sledding. There's

845
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 6: a very select small numbers guys in this league that

846
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 6: can just take guys and walk them back off the

847
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 6: ball in a true inside zone running scheme.

848
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to the mail bag mash

849
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: Tag Colts Roundtable to interact with Joe and Rick. Mikey

850
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 2: asks a good question schematically. Rick, Let's start with you first.

851
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 2: Are you worried about teams playing zone against us all

852
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: season in the secondary, taking away big plays for Anthony

853
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 2: Richardson and making him beat teams with his underneath accuracy.

854
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: I think it's a good question considering we know Anthony Richardson.

855
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: Rick has a very strong arm. That was a big

856
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: part of his game in college at Florida. We didn't

857
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: see the Colts test the secondary from Jacksonville a whole

858
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: lot yesterday.

859
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 7: No, you know, we're very tight in throwing oriented. You know,

860
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 7: and I've said this all along. This offense, this modern day,

861
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 7: this offense now, which is quarterback centric running, is going

862
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 7: to force the eight man front. There is any doubt

863
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 7: about that. You and I'm not gonna play less than

864
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 7: eight and you're gonna play a lot of bear front,

865
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 7: And so the question is good. I'm not sure that

866
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 7: it's necessarily zone, but what you're gonna get is you're

867
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 7: gonna get one on one coverage on the outside. Now,

868
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 7: you know, what I'd do as a defensive coordinator. I

869
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 7: said this going in. I'd press Pittman because he doesn't

870
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 7: run well. He didn't really beat anybody deep if you

871
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 7: press him, and then I would be just the opposite

872
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 7: on Piers. I would play off Piers and just take

873
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 7: away the deep ball. Then make him, you know, make

874
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 7: him become a classy route runner. And I am worried

875
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 7: about that. I mean again, we if you can't do

876
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 7: that in this offense and they can take away Richardson

877
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 7: with numbers, you don't have anything. I mean really and truly.

878
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 7: And we saw that you and I saw it at Philadelphia,

879
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 7: the way Philadelphia beat you when you play that front

880
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 7: against them, they just throw that ball outside to DeVante

881
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 7: and aj all day and the game's over. And if

882
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 7: we can't do that, it's gonna be tough sledding for Richardson.

883
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's go one more. This is from Darren Joe.

884
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: We'll start with you and then Rick can comment on

885
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: it as well, because I know you have some major

886
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: thoughts on the secondary in a positive way. After one game,

887
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: how did our young secondary hold up against some elite

888
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: receivers and what is your confidence level in those players

889
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 2: moving forward, Joe.

890
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 6: I think that they battled really hard, especially through the

891
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 6: first three quarters. But I do think, you know, when

892
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 6: you got into the fourth quarter and there were some

893
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 6: key critical situations.

894
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: It's just tough to do.

895
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 6: And I'm looking at it from the pass rush perspective too.

896
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 6: We got to get more of a pass rush. On

897
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 6: that first touchdown to Ridley. We ran a little game

898
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 6: inside and you know, deep tackle and Quiddy Pay kind

899
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 6: of get looped into each other, and now all of

900
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 6: a sudden, we have no contain you know, Lawrence was

901
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: out there, you know, making a phone call, picking up

902
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 6: some lunch, and then just bun time until Ridley came open.

903
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 6: We can't cover guys forever, and so that pass rush

904
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 6: and that secondary is tied in together. And I always

905
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 6: look at it like more from the front seven perspective.

906
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 6: The more and more pressure we can get, especially if

907
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 6: it's with four guys, takes pressure. You can't cover guys forever.

908
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 6: In the NFL, the receivers and quarterbacks are too good.

909
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 7: I thought that our quarters battled, you know, we were

910
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 7: so worried about that. That's a spot, you know, and

911
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 7: really caught a lot of balls early. He kind of

912
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 7: quieted down. Joe's right. The touchdown pass really is on

913
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 7: the defensive front, letting you know, you know, letting Lawrence

914
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 7: run around, losing an edge, losing two edges and that

915
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: kind of stuff. But I felt encouraged by our corner play.

916
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 7: There were a couple third downs where Flowers got to stop,

917
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 7: you know, then they came back over to Baker, he

918
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 7: got to stop. I was encouraged. I think Black Men's

919
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 7: really good. I think we might want to look across

920
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 7: over Thomas. To be honest, I thought Thomas really struggled.

921
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 7: I thought his tackling was horrific. But I am worried

922
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 7: about one thing though, And I just you know, this

923
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 7: is another seventy five percent completion day, you know, red

924
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 7: zone three for three, and I'm really concerned with that

925
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 7: completion average because that was another bummer that I made

926
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 7: a point of, you know, and there's just too many

927
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 7: easy completions, too many quick rhythm throws were our guys

928
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 7: are wide open. And that's because we're playing that single

929
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 7: high zone all day long. And by the fourth quarter,

930
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 7: everybody knows what you're doing because you've been doing it

931
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 7: for fifty six minutes, you know, and at some point,

932
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 7: at some point, there's gotta be more coverage variants in

933

Speaker 2: closing arguments, final thoughts from Rick Venturi and Joe Writes

959
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: on this week one loss for the Colts of the

960
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars.

961
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: Jacksonville, by the way, the only.

962
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: Team in the AFC to our AFC South they should

963
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 2: say to win. Yesterday both the Titans and the Texans loss.

964
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 2: So Joe, we'll start with you, right. They always say

965
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: the biggest improvement in a football season occurs.

966
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 3: From week one to week two.

967
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: Where do you think we'll see the Colts grow the

968
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 2: most next Sunday against the Houston Texans.

969
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 6: I hope it's in situational football again. Three turnovers three

970
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 6: for twelve on third down, one for five on fourth down,

971
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 6: and then one to three in the red zone. Those

972
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 6: are the things. At the end of the day, you

973
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 6: can look at the stat sheet that's going to determine

974
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 6: who wins and loses in the NFL. It's all won

975
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 6: possession games, and so I'm excited obviously to watch Richardson.

976
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 5: What tweaks do we do?

977
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 6: I think the thing I gotta tell myself even is

978
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 6: he's a twenty one year old rookie quarterback in week one.

979
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 6: You don't have the full kitchen sink playbook, and so

980
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 6: I'm talking about, you know, bear defense and contingency plans

981
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 6: of what we're gonna run. But I am excited to

982
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 6: see schematically two what the coaches are gonna dial up differently,

983
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 6: and so it's a very winnable game in my opinion.

984
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 6: Down in Houston, I will say I'm awful glad of

985
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: the two quarterbacks Stroud and Richardson that we have who

986
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 6: we have, because I think definitively he's going to be

987
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 6: the better player in the NFL. But obviously it's going

988
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 6: to be a hyped up matchup, these two rookie AFC

989
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 6: South quarterbacks going at it. But Rick, I know you've

990
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 6: watched more tape on the Texans than I have up

991
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 6: to this point on Monday night.

992
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I've did all their preseason with their

993
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 7: top guys, and I'm three quarters into yesterday's game. You know,

994
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 7: it's a dangerous game because the perception, you know, will

995
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 7: be that you know, we're better than Houston and so

996
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 7: forth and so on. You know, we fought that last

997
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 7: year and went oh one and one, so you know

998
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 7: we should learn from that. But I think the challenges,

999
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 7: I think they're dangerous because like all NFL teams, they've

1000
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 7: got enough guys that can beat you. Pierce is really

1001
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 7: an angry runner. Matt we didn't see him last year.

1002
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 7: He is in angry, very very good runner the quarterback

1003
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 7: if you let him, if you let him sit and

1004
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 7: play an advantage, he's very accurate. If you pressure him,

1005
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 7: he falls apart. The differential is unbelievable. And then he's

1006
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 7: got a couple of weapons in Collins and Woods, you know,

1007
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 7: the veteran and then on defense, their weapons are those

1008
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 7: edge guys. I mean Anderson, the kid out of Alabama,

1009
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 7: you know, and then Greener you know, the other and

1010
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 7: who played last year and looks good and Jerry Hughes.

1011
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 7: So I mean, they have the kind of team that

1012
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 7: you've got it and they're gonna play with really high energy.

1013
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 7: With DeMarco Ryan right now, I mean, you know it's

1014
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 7: a new coaching staff. You can see it. I mean now,

1015
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 7: that won't last all season, but right now you're gonna

1016
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 7: catch a team and plays with really high energy.

1017
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: YEP.

1018
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,800
